Fire Forces Closure Of Albuquerque Branch Library
By KRWG News And Partners
Dozens of children's books and computers have been destroyed by a fire at an Albuquerque library.
City officials say the library will likely be closed for a few weeks due to the fire that was started inside the building early Wednesday. Officials say there's significant flame and smoke damage.
The Bernalillo County Fire Department is investigating whether arson might be involved. Authorities say it appears someone set a bunch of books on fire inside the North Valley Library.
Firefighters got the call around 6 a.m. when a city worker noticed smoke coming from the library.
The library usually gets about 500 visitors every day. The staff will be reassigned to other locations while the damage is repaired.

In a sheet metal shelving unit with adjustable telescoping slotted uprights, the upper part of each upright has its slots in a recessed surface so that the upper part does not interfere with shelf bracket tabs projecting rearwardly through slots in the lower part of the upright.
1. A shelving unit comprising a base, at least one upright, and a plurality of shelves mountable thereon:
in which each shelf has at least one bracket with rearwardly extending tabs for engagement with shelf-retaining slots in the upright;
in which the upright comprises a lower vertically elongated member extending upwardly from the base, and an upper vertically elongated member in telescoping relationship with the lower member, at least part of the upper member extending upwardly from the upper end of the lower member, means for preventing relative horizontal movement of the upper and lower members, and means for selectably supporting the upper member in each of a plurality of heights on the lower member;
in which the lower member comprises an elongated, oblique sheet metal web having a face side and a back side and a first series of shelf-retaining slots, each slot extending through the web from the face side to the back side, said first series extending in a line downwardly along said oblique sheet metal web from a location adjacent to the upper end thereof;
in which the upper member comprises an elongated vertical sheet metal web constituting the front side thereof, the web having a face side and a back side the face side having a first planar surface and a second planar surface, the second planar surface being spaced rearwardly and located to one side of the first planar surface, and having a second series of shelf-retaining slots each slot extending from the face side of the second planar surface to the back side of the web, the second series of slots being arranged in a vertical line positioned directly to the rear of the line of said first series of slots; and
in which, at least at the upper end of the lower member, the back side of the elongated sheet metal web of the lower member is in such close proximity to the face side of the sheet metal web of the upper member that if one of said shelves is positioned at the uppermost end of the lower member, with a tab extending through the uppermost shelf-retaining slot in the lower member, the tab extends through the plane of said first planar surface, and the spacing between the planes of the first and second planar surfaces being such that said tab does not reach said second planar surface.
2. A shelving unit according to claim 1 in which the shelves are substantially identical to one another, and the tabs of each shelf extend rearwardly a sufficient distance to reach and cooperate with the slots in said second planar surface of the upper member without interference between said first planar surface of the upper member and the shelf.
This invention relates to shelving units of the kind used in supermarkets to display soft drinks and various other products. The invention is applicable to a variety of shelving units, and is particularly applicable to a shelving unit of the kind shown and described in my U.S. Pat. No. 3,983,822, issued Oct. 5, 1976. Depending on the use to which they are put, these shelving units are sometimes called "merchandisers".
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,983,822, I describe a sheet metal shelving unit in which identical shelves are held on uprights by the engagement of tabs on shelf brackets with slots in the uprights. Each upright has an upper and lower part. The lower part has a sloping face, while the upper part has a vertical face. The upper part telescopes into the lower part and the two parts are secured together by a suitable fastener. There is no provision for adjusting the height of the upper part relative to the lower part.
In the shelving unit of U.S. Pat. No. 3,983,822, a series of shelf-supporting slots extends substantially the full height of the sloping face of the lower part of each upright. Another series of slots extends substantially the full vertical length of the exposed portion of the upper part. Thus, shelves can be positioned at any desired location on the uprights. The shelving unit described in my patent has the advantage over prior shelving units that it accommodates identical shelves at any desired height, whether on the sloping faces of the lower parts of the uprights or on the vertical faces of the upper parts of the uprights.
When a shelf is positioned on the lower parts of the uprights, the tabs of the shelf brackets extend rearwardly through the slots in the lower parts. In practice, the lower ends of the upper parts, which are hidden within the lower parts, are provided with vertically elongated slots, or are cut-away, to prevent interference between the upper parts and any shelf bracket tabs extending rearwardly through slots at the upper ends of the lower parts.
With the arrangement described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,983,822, it is not possible to slide the upper parts downwardly into the lower parts, and still support shelves at or near the upper ends of the lower parts. This is because the slotted faces of the upper parts would interfere with the shelf bracket tabs extending through the slots in the lower parts. Thus, it has not been possible to make a shelving unit support with adjustable telescoping upper and lower parts without sacrificing an important advantage of the shelving system as described in my patent.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide an adjustable telescoping shelf support which allows identical shelves to be positioned at any desired height on the support. In accordance with the invention, this object is accomplished by forming the slots in the upper support in a rearwardly offset surface. By doing this, a clearance is provided for tabs extending through slots at or near the uppermost end of the lower support.
This invention substantially improves the versatility and space efficiency of merchandising displays by allowing for adjustment to accommodate different sizes of products.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the drawings.
FIG. 1 is an oblique perspective view of a shelving unit in accordance with the invention, having two uprights, each of which comprises a lower part having a sloping slotted face, and an upper part having a vertical slotted face;
FIG. 2 is a horizontal section through the upper part of the left-hand support of FIG. 1, as viewed from above;
FIG. 3 is a vertical section taken on the surface 3--3 of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 4 is a vertical section taken on the plane 4--4 of FIG. 2.
The shelving unit of FIG. 1, is preferably constructed from sheet steel. It comprises a base 10, and a pair of uprights secured to and extending upwardly from the opposite ends of the rear edge of the base. The left-hand upright comprises a lower part 12, and an upper part 14 which telescopes into the upper end of part 12. The right-hand upright comprises lower part 16 and upper part 18 which are mirror images respectively of parts 12 and 14. A shelf 20 is supported on the lower parts of the uprights. This shelf has brackets formed along its opposite side edges. The brackets have rearwardly projecting tabs which extend through tab-receiving slots in the faces of parts 12 and 16.
Shelf 22, which is identical to shelf 20, is supported on upper upright parts 14 and 18 by the engagement of the rearwardly projecting tabs on its brackets with slots formed in recessed surfaces on these parts. Preferably, the tabs on the shelf brackets are specially formed for cooperation with the slots, and the slots in the upper parts of the uprights are spaced closer together than the slots in the lower parts of the uprights. Because of the special form of the tabs and the different spacings of the slots, the shelves automatically assume horizontal positions even though the shelves are identical to each other and the slotted surfaces of the upper and lower parts of the uprights are at different angles relative to horizontal. For a more complete understanding of the manner in which shelves are made to assume a horizontal condition automatically, reference should be made to my U.S. Pat. No. 3,983,822, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated here by reference.
A sloping back panel 24 is held between lower upright parts 12 and 16, and a vertical panel 26 is held between upper parts 14 and 18.
In a typical application, soft drink cartons are stacked on the base of the shelving unit, while individual bottles are supported on the shelves. The slope of the base and back panel 24 allows the cartons to be stacked safely to any desired height. If the number of cartons to be displayed is small, several shelves can be supported on the lower upright members and used to hold individual bottles. On the other hand, if a large number of cartons is to be accommodated, shelf 20 can be used in the position shown, or moved up to the upper support members, if necessary.
The fact that the shelves can be moved to any desired position on either support gives the shelving unit a high degree of flexibility in accommodating various types of merchandise. The telescoping feature provided by the present invention gives the shelving unit still greater flexibility, since it enables the height of the upper shelf to be raised when the lower shelf is shifted from the lower parts of the uprights to the upper parts.
Details of the left-hand upright are seen in FIG. 2.
Lower part 12 has a sloping face 28 with a column of slots 30. A web 32 extends rearwardly from the right-hand edge of face 28, and a flange 34 extends to the right from the rear edge of web 32. Flange 34 has a series of panel-supporting hooks, one of which is shown at 36. These hooks are used to support back panel 24 (FIG. 1). Web 38 extends rearwardly from the left-hand edge of face 28. Web 38 includes an inwardly offset portion 40 at its rear edge. A web 42 extends to the right from the rear edge of offset portion 40, and a flange 44 extends forwardly from the right-hand edge of web 42.
The lower support member just described has an open top which receives upper upright part 14. Part 14 has a cross-sectional shape generally similar to that of lower part 12. It comprises a front face 46, a rearwardly displaced flange 48 having panel supporting hook 50, and a left side web 52 having a face 54 which is offset rearwardly from face 46. Face 54 is provided with a vertical series of slots, one of which is shown at 56. As seen in FIG. 2, both series of slots are spaced the same distance from the plane of web 38 so that slot 56, for example, is directly to the rear of the series of slots 30. Thus the shelf brackets secured to lower part 12 are always directly below the shelf brackets on upper part 14. This is important because the shelves are identical and it is undesirable to have the shelves in anything other than perfect vertical alignment.
The offset relationship between faces 46 and 54 provides a space 58 between faces 28 and 56 to provide clearance for tabs projecting through the upper slots of slot series 30.
The rear part 60 of side web 52 is offset inwardly to conform to part 40 of web 38. A rear web 62 and a forwardly extending flange 64 conform respectively to the inner surfaces of web 42 and flange 44 in order to restrain upper part 14 against rearward and sidewise movement relative to lower part 12.
Upper part 14 of the upright is held against vertical downward movement by a key 70 which extends through elements 40, 60, 64 and 44. Key 70 is a U-shaped sheet metal element which extends through oblique rectangular holes in these four elements and exerts a camming action urging upper part 14 rearwardly so that its web 62 comes into tight engagement with web 42 of lower part 12 as a result of the weight of the upper parts and the shelves and articles it supports. As will be seen, elements 60 and 64 are provided with several oblique openings so that the upper part of the upright can be held by key 70 at any one of several positions on the lower part.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, tabs 72, 74 and 76 on bracket 78 of shelf 20 project rearwardly through slots 30 in sloping face 28 of the lower part of the upright. These tabs extend rearwardly into space 58 beyond face 46 of the upper support member, but do not reach recessed face 54, and therefore do not interfere with the portion of the upper part which extends downwardly into the lower part. The brackets of each shelf extends rearwardly beyond the supporting surfaces of the shelf a sufficient distance so that the tabs can reach and cooperate with the slots of the upper part of the upright, as shown in FIG. 4, without interference between face 46 and the rear edge of the supporting surface.
As shown in FIG. 3, key 70 extends through oblique opening 80 in flange 44, and engages an oblique opening in flange 64. Another oblique opening in flange 64 is shown at 82. A corresponding oblique opening is shown at 84 in FIG. 4.
As will be apparent from the foregoing, the recessed slotted surface of the upper part of the upright enables shelves to be accommodated at any position on the lower part, enables the upper part to be adjusted upwardly or downwardly as desired, and enables shelves to be supported at any desired position on the upper part even when the upper part is fully extended. The invention results in a highly versatile shelving unit suitable for soft drink merchandising and for many other uses. The invention is applicable not only to merchandisers and shelving units of the kind described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,983,822, but also to other merchandisers having two-part telescoping uprights in which the front faces of the lower upright parts are vertical.
Numerous modifications and variations from the shelving unit specifically disclosed herein may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.

NEW YORK — Don't get your heart set on anything more than the 90-second 'N Sync reunion seen on the MTV Video Music Awards. The performance marked the first time the band played together in 11 years, and also the last time they'll do it, at least for a while.
"It would be lovely to do it, but we've got nothing planned," Lance Bass told The Associated Press on Monday between breaks of his Sirius XM show, "Dirty Pop With Lance Bass."
One reason is that Justin Timberlake begins his solo tour this fall, and Bass says the closest he'll get to the stage is a seat in the audience.
"Who knows what will happen when he's off tour. It's simply not part of the conversation right now. We just focused on that one performance," Bass said. "If we did anything like that, I think we would come up with something real special where we could actually call it 'The Reunion."'
Bass, along with fellow boy-band mates Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and JC Chasez, joined Timberlake, who was already performing at the VMAs on Sunday night. They wanted to do something special for Timberlake for receiving The Michael Jackson Vanguard Award, the VMA's equivalent of a lifetime achievement award.
While the last 15 seconds of their reunion performance made Bass feel nauseous, getting to the stage was an adrenaline rush.
"We had to perform in the middle of the arena, so there was no way of getting us out there without being seen. So they dressed us in big ole hoodies to pretend we were the stagehands. So we would push out the stage and do all the stagehand stuff until we got to the area and hid out beneath a staircase," Bass said. "That was my favorite part."
Bass said just before they stopped performing, he felt queasy from nerves.
As for the show, Bass shared his view on the evening's most controversial performance when Miley Cyrus stripped down to a nude bikini, erotically grinded with Robin Thicke and made suggestive gestures with a foam hand with a pointed finger.
The singer said his young nieces and nephews watched the VMAs for the first time to see their uncle perform in 'N Sync.
"I didn't know I had to warn them that their little Hannah Montana was going to be naked and humping a finger," Bass said.
During a commercial break, he spoke more of the incident.
"I think it's her thing. I think she shocked a lot of her younger fans, especially the parents, who might not be so happy with her thing, and she's just being Miley," Bass said.
"I mean it is a big deal. Unfortunately, I think young artists, especially coming from a Disney background, especially want to change that image. ... Lady Gaga does it. Everyone is like what can I do just to really shock people. But Lady Gaga and a lot of people have really missed the mark a lot where it goes over people's heads."

COLUMBIA -- South Carolina quarterbacks coach G.A. Mangus spoke with the media after Wednesday's practice -- an uncommon occurrence in recent months for a man who had a rough offseason and start to his third year at USC.
In July, he was arrested in Greenville for nuisance conduct after police saw him urinating on the street. The police report stated that he smelled of alcohol, was unsteady on his feet and slurred his speech when an officer approached him.
In September, South Carolina received a notice of allegations from the NCAA as part of an extra benefits investigation. Mangus was asked to appear with USC's contingent before the Committee on Infractions, Feb. 17-18, in Los Angeles. There are questions about Mangus' ties to the Delaware-based Student Athlete Mentoring Foundation, which is a focus of the probe.
In October, Mangus' frequently suspended senior quarterback, Stephen Garcia, was dismissed from the team after failing a substance test.
Mangus declined to discuss the NCAA investigation or SAM Foundation Wednesday, but did speak about Garcia, who was demoted in favor of sophomore Connor Shaw before his dismissal.
"We text back and forth occasionally," Mangus said. "He's doing fine. You spend a lot of time with somebody and all that, and something like that happens, it's a little disappointing, obviously. But wish him well and move on. Connor, you don't recruit somebody to not play. You move on and that's what we've done."
Offense must control ball
USC's defense obviously needs a strong effort to slow Clemson in Saturday's rivalry game in Columbia. The USC offense also must do its part.
The Gamecocks need to not just score points to keep up with Clemson, but also sustain drives in order to let their defensive players get some rest, because Clemson runs its offense at a fast pace and tries to snap the ball 80 to 85 times per game.
Auburn runs almost the exact same offense as Clemson, and in a 16-13 win over USC earlier this season, Auburn ran 92 plays and won the time of possession by 11 1/2 minutes.
The reason for that? Auburn was 11 of 22 on third down, while USC was 2 of 10. USC couldn't get Auburn off the field and couldn't keep its own offense on the field -- a terrible combination against any opponent, especially one that likes to play fast.
"We definitely have to try to play ball control and score as many points as we can on offense, because they have the type of offense that can keep you on the field, because they'll nickel and dime you," said USC defensive backs coach Lorenzo Ward.
Gilmore wants Watkins
Clemson's best wide receiver is true freshman Sammy Watkins. USC's best cornerback is junior Stephon Gilmore, who might be playing in his final home game if he decides to leave early for the NFL.
"I'd like to play a lot of man-to-man (coverage) against him and see how his game is," Gilmore said of Watkins.
Though Gilmore is asked to play man coverage often for the Gamecocks, having him line up against Watkins is easier said than done. Gilmore usually plays on the boundary (short) side of the field. But Watkins lines up all over the field, which makes it impossible for one cornerback to shadow him.
"They move him around a lot and try to get him space, so we've just got to play him and probably play more physical for him," Gilmore said.

Q:Do you absolutely NEED to follow with a moisturizer afterwards since this toner also moisturizes?Asked on 8/27/2012 by Alexis
1 answer
A:Since toners are water based, they evaporate quickly from the skin's surface, so they would not be moisturizing over a longer period of time than a couple of minutes. To lock moisture into your skin, you'd need to use a moisturizer to help restore the skin's natural moisture barrier.Answered on 8/28/2012 by Megan from LUSH

Contrary to what several local and state LGBTQ media outlets were first reporting in the confusion of a breaking story, which can happen to anyone, AbOUT Magazine has discovered that only 7 people were arrested at Memorial Park in Houston on August 1, 2013.
First, according to several social media, and news outlets around the city and state, at least 20 people were arrested at Memorial Park by Houston Police Department's Vice Squad, dressed in speedos and entrapping gay men, this has turned out to be proof of a rumor mill!
This is not the case according to Houston Police Department Public Information Officer Jodi Silva. "This was a Proactive Vice Investigation based on several complaints of lewd behavior and exposure complaints".
"Only seven people were arrested and, none of them were charged with prostitution or solicitation. All seven were charged with incident exposure". Silva states. All the men were arrested was between the hours of 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. for indecent exposure, a Class-B misdemeanor.
"The arrests were not all made in one area. They were made, while the suspects were in their cars, close to the trails, or around the trials".
HPD would not comment to AbOUT Magazine on the style of clothing that VICE officer were wearing while conducting their investigation.
The targeted area is the 100 block of Picnic Lane, which is located near walking and jogging trails, as well as restrooms.
Janice Evans, a spokeswoman for Mayor Annise Parker's office, deferred comment to HPD.

For NFL head coaches, parity does not help job security.
At least six coaches appear in legitimate danger of being fired after the 2010 season, and a couple might not even make it through the season.
Most owners no longer are willing to give coaches four or five years to build a winner. Not with teams like the New Orleans Saints going from 8-8 one year to winning the Super Bowl the next.
"A coach today has to think that three years is probably the max you're going to get, regardless of what contract they sign," former Philadelphia Eagles, St. Louis Rams and Kansas City Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil said Wednesday. "There's not just more pressure on the coaches to produce results. There's more pressure on the owners.
"You're seeing it right now. Preseason expectations have created excessive pressure on some teams, probably beyond the point of reality in some cases. We're not even through the first half of the season. But if you're not meeting expectations, they automatically put you on the coach-to-go list."
NFL coaches on the hot seat: Clifton Brown's candidate pool
Here are 10 coaches under the microscope heading into Week 8:
Brad Childress, Minnesota Vikings
His record: 2-4 this season, 38-32 overall.
Current issues: He has a strained relationship with the hobbling, struggling and aging Brett Favre. A star-laden team is 2-4 and playing at New England this week, certainly in danger of falling deeper into a hole.
Will he be fired? Unlikely. He signed a contract extension last season, and the Vikings have enough talent to rebound. However, don't expect Childress to beg Favre to come back for 2011.
Jack Del Rio, Jacksonville Jaguars
His record: 3-4 this season, 60-59 overall.
Current issues: Each of 2010's four losses has been by at least 22 points. Defense is Del Rio's specialty, but the Jaguars are 30th in the NFL.
"I'm heavily invested with the defense, and our defensive performance was embarrassing," Del Rio told reporters Sunday after the 42-20 loss to the Chiefs. "Just unacceptable. Not been near good enough. Basic football plays not getting made. I take full responsibility for it. We are not touching these young men to have performances look like they look."
Will he be fired? Probably. This is his eighth season, and he has made the playoffs twice.
John Fox, Carolina Panthers
His record: 1-5 this season, 72-62 overall.
Current issues: He is coaching a team in rebuilding mode, losing its first five games.
Will he get fired? It has been obvious for many months that Fox will walk when his contract expires after the '10 season.
Marvin Lewis, Cincinnati Bengals
His record: 2-4 this season, 58-59 overall.
Current issues: The Bengals are riding a three-game losing streak and fading fast in the tough AFC North.
Will he be fired? Actually, his contract expires after the season and it's looking more and more as if Lewis will be free to pursue other opportunities.
Eric Mangini, Cleveland Browns
His record: 2-5 this season, 30-41 overall.
Current issues: Despite upsetting the Saints last week, Cleveland still has the AFC's lowest-ranked offense.
Will he get fired? Many thought he'd be fired soon after president Mike Holmgren took over last winter. Mangini's status is precarious at best.
Josh McDaniels, Denver Broncos
His record: 2-5 this year, 10-13 overall.
Current issues: There must be fallout from an embarrassing 59-14 loss to the Oakland Raiders. The words "Touchdown Oakland!' still must be ringing in McDaniels' head.
Will he be fired? Unlikely. He's in the second year of a four-year deal, and owner Pat Bowlen is not one to fire coaches quickly, especially in light of the current NFL labor uncertainty.
Wade Phillips, Dallas Cowboys
His record: 1-5 this season, 82-59 overall.
Current issues: The record and Tony Romo's broken collarbone are big problems.
Will he be fired? Book it. It's hard to see Phillips lasting beyond a season that seems destined for major disappointment.
Mike Singletary, San Francisco 49ers
His record: 1-6 this season, 14-18 overall.
Current issues: The preseason favorites to win the NFC West have struggled all season, including a Week 7 loss to the previously winless Panthers. Now Singletary is turning to third-string QB Troy Smith.
Will he be fired? It seems almost a certainly, barring a complete turnaround.
Lovie Smith, Chicago Bears
His record: 4-3 this season, 56-47 overall.
Current issues: He is taking plenty of criticism for failing to challenge a call Sunday that cost the Bears a touchdown.
Will he be fired? A playoff berth would keep him safe, but a second-half fade would put him in jeopardy.
Norv Turner, San Diego Chargers
His record: 2-5 this season, 92-103 overall.
Current issues: Turnovers and poor special teams play are killing the Chargers. They are 2-5 despite having the NFL's No. 1-ranked offense and No. 1-ranked defense.
Will he be fired? He has a good chance to stay even if the Chargers continue to self-destruct, largely because Turner's contract runs through 2013.

Report: South Alabama coach Ronnie Arrow resigns
Dec 19, 2012, 6:30 PM EDT
We have our first coaching change of the season.
On Wednesday, news broke that Ronnie Arrow would be retiring, effective immediately, as the head coach at South Alabama. Assistant Jeff Price, who has won over 300 games as a head coach at Lynn University, Georgia Southern and West Virginia Wesleyan, is expected to take over.
This was Arrow's second stint at South Alabama. He was at the school from 1985-1993 and returned in 2007 after leading Texas A&M-CC to their first NCAA tournament.
The timing of this decision is curious. The Jaguars were 5-5 on the season and actually had some talent on their roster. They beat Florida State on the first night of the season.

Thief after $17,500 chicken makes fowl mistake
August 27, 2007
HE was hunting for a bird. Not just any bird, but a very valuable show chicken.
And the thief entered the compound of a house in Pasir Puteh, Kelantan, hunting for his quarry, he spotted an Ayam Serama otherwise known as a Malaysian Serama, and grabbed it.
On Wednesday morning, Mr Ahmad Tarmizi Mohd Amin, 42, came out at about 8am to feed his birds, and discovered the loss, reported Harian Metro.
Mr Ahmad has about 60 birds, and the thief had grabbed the wrong bird.
The chicken he had his eye on is worth RM40,000 ($17,500). And Mr Ahmad was well aware that his valuable pet could be the target of thieves.
That's why he didn't let his precious pet roam free.
Mr Ahmad told Harian Metro: 'Luckily, I had put that particular chicken in the house. If not, that bird, worth RM40,000 would have been stolen.'
The chicken, named Padangku, is safe and sound.
And what of the bird victim of mistaken identity?
That bird is also safely back home.
When the thief discovered he had birdnapped the wrong chick, he returned it, with a little note that was slipped into a crevice on the outside of the chicken coop.
The note, in Malay, read: 'I apologise for stealing the wrong chicken. I was supposed to steal the other chicken.'
That other chicken, juicy target of the thief, is due to take part in the Asean Serama chicken competition held in conjunction with Visit Malaysia Year 2007 and 50 years of Independence celebrations in Kota Baru on 1 Sep.
Mr Ahmad said he will be fielding six birds, including Padangku, in the competition.
Prizes worth RM22,000 are up for grabs at the competition.
Malaysian Seramas are said to be the lightest bantam chickens in the world. This breed is native to Malaysia and is characterised by vertical tail feathers, near-vertical wings, full breast, and short legs.

All staff are encouraged to attend Staff Appreciation Day, Friday, June 1, beginning with breakfast at 9:15 a.m. in Reid Campus Center, Young Ballroom. Whose names will be applied to the Janice Abraham Award plaque for 2012? You'll have to attend to find out!
President Bridges today sent a memorandum to all members of the Whitman community about a new grievance policy that takes effect immediately on an interim basis. It outlines procedures for filing complaints and resolving grievances. The process outlined in the policy takes precedent over other existing codes and procedures dealing with grievances at the college.
The document is available as a PDF – click here. For future reference, the document will be linked from the staff, faculty and current students pages, easily accessible from the top right of the Whitman home page.
Shortly before Commencement, Nancy Ball, wife of the late Dr. George Ball, offered the beloved professor's academic gowns to any faculty who might wish to wear them. Biology professors Tom and Leena Knight were happy for the opportunity, mindful of the legacy of one of Whitman's most iconic professors.
Leena Knight explains why they accepted the invitation: "I know mostly of George Ball but did not know him personally. There were two things that I'd witnessed that made me think that I would like him a lot as a person. First, every time I saw him, he was on his bike. I'm an avid fan of bicycle commuters, and immediately he had my respect. Second, I often observed him in conversation with students. In my short time here, I've sensed a growing distance between students and faculty. The pressures placed on us as faculty to be excellent teachers, excellent scholars, thoughtful colleagues with a strong commitment to service, upstanding members in our community, role models, etc., can draw us away from the very thing most of us are here to do – have meaningful relationships with our students. Seeing George around campus reminded me of the mission of this institution and the various ways we, as faculty, nurture our students. I'm happy to help George Ball's legacy continue to be a part of our annual ceremonies, even in the small way of wearing his academic regalia."
This past Friday, May 25, 2012, most campus community members simply went about their business, either working or perhaps taking a day off to extend the holiday weekend. Probably not "business as usual" for our predecessors on May 25, 1903; likely they were involved with or were attending a very special event – the campus visit of President Theodore Roosevelt, who addressed a crowd of 6,000 on the Memorial Building grounds. The visit was "part of a campaign to gain western support for his forthcoming bid for the presidency," according to the report published on the website HistoryLink.com.
Pictured: This photo of the gathering crowd appears with the article and was provided by Whitman and the Northwest Archives.
Patrick Frierson, associate professor of philosophy, has been awarded a grant from the Spencer Foundation for his project titled "Education and Autonomy: Maria Montessori's Philosophy of Education." He will be working on the philosophy of education in Jean–Jacques Rousseau, Immanuel Kant, and especially Maria Montessori, with an emphasis on education that respects children's autonomy. The grant will allow him to work on this project in the spring semester of 2013. Pictured: Prof. Frierson with his daughter at Commencement.
Thomas Knight, assistant professor of biology, has begun experimenting with a unique research tool called the "EyeSeeCam" that he procured last year through a $66,000 grant from the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust. Knight and his students will use the "EyeSeeCam," which contains a "GazeCam," one of only three of its kind in the world, for research into the treatment of Parkinson's Disease. The "EyeSeeCam" is worn on the head and records the scene in front of the wearer as well as what the eyes are seeing as they dart back and forth to focus on various points. Read the full story HERE.
Pictured: Jeremy Norden '12 tests out the EyeSee Cam.
This summer, the campus community will welcome 12 new tenure-track faculty members from a wide variety of disciplines. The college interviewed nearly 40 candidates for these positions, with more than 80 current faculty members participating in search committees.
"In virtually every case, we were able to hire our first choice candidates, which speaks very well of Whitman College and its reputation," said Timothy Kaufman-Osborn, provost and dean of the faculty.
For the full story and a list of incoming faculty, click HERE.
Staff and faculty are invited to stop by the Science Building Atrium Wednesday, May 30, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for the biology department's annual plant sale. "There will be lots of great plants for your home or office and for putting in your yard this summer," reports Martha Holt, biology lab coordinator, who is organizing the sale. "There are always some surprises as we pull plants from our greenhouse, so stop by and see what we have."
Always trying to learn a new skill or two, I'm playing with artificial infrared photography effects. Infrared light waves are invisible to the human eye. In photography, it creates a kind of "dreamy" effect and makes for a fun new way to see our Whitman world. Full size.

Exports and new shipping routes helped grow cargo volume for the State Ports Authority in 2012, but the agency was below revenue expectations for the first half of its current fiscal year.
For the calendar year, container volume was up 9.6 percent from 2011, with the equivalent of 1.5 million 20-foot-long containers handled at the terminals in Mount Pleasant and North Charleston, the agency said.
Also, non-containerized business shipping made gains last year, officials said at the SPAs monthly board meeting in Charleston.
The Port of Charleston handled more than 1 million tons of non-containerized or break-bulk freight over the past 12 months, almost 26 percent more than 2011. The gain was driven by higher volumes of heavy power-generation equipment and BMW vehicle exports from the Columbus Street Terminal, officials said.
At the smaller Port of Georgetown, break-bulk business was up 17 percent last year, with 532,472 pier tons of goods like steel and bulk cement handled on the citys waterfront, officials added.
Last years growing trade volume was aided by new routes to areas like Australia and New Zealand, in addition to Hamburg Sud, a container shipping line that pulled its only call from the Port of Savannah last year in favor of Charleston to serve those countries.
In the last six months of calendar year 2012, which represents the first half of the SPAs fiscal year, non-containerized cargo swelled 40 percent from the comparable year-earlier period, and 24 percent higher than expectations.
Container volume, while up nearly 11 percent from the last fiscal year, fell short of projections by 1.5 percent.
Operating revenues for the fiscal year was $68.6 million, more than 6 percent above last year, but almost 6 percent below expectations.
The authority also reported Decembers container volume was up 13 percent compared to the same month in 2011, a spike fueled by fears of a potential strike as labor talks went down the wire between the International Longshoremens Association and a group representing shipping lines.
Jim Newsome, CEO of the ports authority, cautioned that Decembers surge will affect Januarys numbers.
I can assure you it will be less volume than planned, said Newsome, who predicted some lumpy comparisons in the coming months.

Master of Science Degree Program
The program leading to the Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering requires completion of a minimum of 30 points of approved course work consisting of no fewer than ten courses. A thesis based on either experimental, computational, or analytical research is optional and may be counted in lieu of up to 6 points of course work. In general, attainment of the degree requires two or three semesters of full-time study, although it may also be undertaken on a part-time basis over a correspondingly longer period. A minimum grade point average of 2.5 is required for graduation and matriculation.
The M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering requires a student to take a sequence of courses that shows a "clearly discernible specialty or concentration." In consultation with his/her advisor, an M.S. student can develop a concentration specifically tailored to his/her interests and objectives, and we refer to this as the Standard Track. Alternatively, M.S. students can pick from a set of pre-defined concentrations, or Special Tracks.
Typical choices of concentration in the Standard Track include such subjects as mechanics of solids and fluids, thermodynamics, heat transfer, manufacturing engineering, robotics, kinematics, dynamics and vibrations, controls, and power generation. Nevertheless, the following guidelines must be adhered to:
1. The sequence of courses selected must show a clearly discernible specialty or concentration.
2. All courses must be at the graduate level, i.e., numbered 4000 or higher, with a minimum of (6 pts) 6000-level or higher (lecture) courses included.
3. Every program must contain at least one course in mathematics (APMA, MATH, STAT, SIEO course designations), covering material beyond what the student has taken previously. It should appear early in the sequence in order to serve as a basis for the technical course work.
4. Out-of-department study is encouraged, but at least five courses (min 15 pts) must be in mechanical engineering.
Rather than apply for the Standard Track, students can apply for a Special Track in either Energy Systems or in Micro/Nanoscale Engineering. The requirements for a Special Track are identical to those of the Standard Track, with the exception a special track student must take at least 15 of his/her points from a list determined by a Special Track Advisor in consultation with a Special Track Advisory Committee. The name of the special track will be listed on a student's transcript. The currently available Special Tracks are listed below.
M.S. in Mechanical Engineering with Concentration in Energy Systems
Advisors: Profs. Pejman Akbari and Vijay Modi
The concentration in energy systems provides the M.S. candidate with a global understanding of current energy challenges. Advanced thermofluidic knowledge is provided to design and optimize energy systems, with a strong emphasis on renewable energies. Courses related to energy and environmental policy, two strong areas of Columbia as a global university, can be integrated into the course sequence. This concentration is a suitable preparation for careers in energy production and energy consultation.
Requirements: While satisfying the general mechanical engineering requirements**, take at least five courses from:
One 3-point research course can be counted towards the concentration if the research is approved by advisor and is energy related.
M.S. in Mechanical Engineering with Concentration in Micro/Nanoscale Engineering
Advisors: Profs. James Hone and Jeff Kysar
The concentration in Micro/Nanoscale Engineering provides the MS candidate with an understanding of engineering challenges and opportunities in micro- and nano-scale systems. The curriculum addresses fundamental issues of mechanics, fluid mechanics, optics, heat transfer, and manufacturing at small size scales. Application areas include MEMS, bio-MEMS, microfluidics, thermal systems, and carbon nanostructures.
Requirements: While satisfying the general mechanical engineering requirements, take at least five courses from:
MECE E4213: bioMEMS
MECE E6700: Carbon nanotubes
MECE E6710: Nanofabrication laboratory
MECE E8990: Small scale Mechanical Behavior
MECE E6105: Transport phenomena in the presence of interfaces
MECE E6720: Nano/Microscale thermal transport processes
ELEN E6945: Device nanofabrication
BMEN E4590:BioMEMS: Cellular and Molecular Applications
MSAE E4090:Nanotechnology

For many students, abstract algebra is the most daunting of math classes. Many students (particularly those who do not have a strong theoretical bent) see abstract algebra as symbol-twiddling with no apparent rhyme or reason. To them, group theory proofs are just so many rabbits pulled from hats.
In our math department at Texas A&M — Central Texas, most of the majors are certifying secondary teachers. For this reason, I needed a textbook that made heavy use of familiar mathematical structures such as the integers mod n, complex numbers, symmetries, and permutations to motivate and illustrate the more abstract concepts. I also needed a more pedestrian book that valued clarity and gradual unfolding above elegance and conciseness. The book's presentation should be interspersed with numerous, easily-worked examples. The exercises should be progressive, with a generous number of relatively easy problems for student practice. Practical applications of abstract algebra should figure prominently.
Of all the prospective texts I looked at from the standpoint of these requirements, Thomas Judson's Abstract Algebra: Theory and Applications (AATA) was the best. (The fact that it was free was an added bonus.) The level was non-threatening, and the order and presentation of topics seemed perfect for what I was looking for. The "Preliminaries" chapter begins with several pointers on reading and writing proofs — vital background knowledge that most a abstract algebra books take for granted. Next, the book covers sets and equivalence relations in a way that bridges from familiar material to a more abstract setting. In the chapters dealing with groups, there are entire sections devoted to the integers mod n, symmetries, and complex numbers. Some practical topics such as ISBN and UPC codes are well-covered in the exercises; while others such as cryptography (the discussion of RSA is a bit brief) and algebraic coding (group codes, linear codes, and polynomial codes) are treated in well-placed optional chapters.
Despite these enabling features, my students in their end-of-semester evaluations commented that they wanted even more exposition and even more examples to bridge to the problems. These reactions are probably more a reflection of deficiencies in the students' backgrounds than of deficiencies in AATA. Nonetheless, their comments led me to exploit one of the greatest strengths of AATA: full customizability. All of the LaTeX code is freely available online. My graduate student Justin Hill and I took Judson's source material and in a single semester developed a book that was precisely suited to the background and interests of our particularly students. This turns on its head the conventional model of textbook development, which requires slow evolution of lecture notes over the course of several semesters.
Abstract Algebra: Theory and Applications is open-source in the fullest sense of the word. The source code is kept in a repository under version control and textbook adopters are encouraged to submit changes. A new edition has been put out every year for the past three years — all editions and the repository may be accessed from the download page.
There were several additional attractive features of AATA that I did not take advantage of. The book has sufficient material for a complete two-semester course covering groups, rings, and fields. There is also an accompanying SAGE workbook by Rob Beezer that supports the text (SAGE is an open-source software package that does abstract algebra, including operations with finite groups, polynomial rings, finite fields, field extensions, and more.)
In short, AATA is a stellar example of open-source at its best. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and is being continuously improved. I believe this book makes a strong case for open-source textbooks, and is in the vanguard of a revolution which will completely change the way future textbooks are developed, adapted, and utilized.

Invest in infrastructure, protect education spending, work cooperatively with businesses and unions to build a better economy—that's the agenda that Democratic governors, in Washington for the National Governors Association winter meeting, outlined on Friday during a roughly two-hour forum on the economy.
It's a dramatically different platform from their Republican counterparts, most notably New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who argue that deep spending cuts and a battle against benefits for government unions are the way to handle their states' gaping deficits. And although the Republicans' efforts have brought them national headlines, Democrats say they're satisfied that their quieter, more moderate path will help the economy more in the near and long-term.
"I can tell you our entire day has been focused on creating jobs and partnering with business, partnering with labor, in order to create jobs," Martin O'Malley, governor of Maryland and the Democratic Governors Association chairman, told National Journal after the forum. "I think they're obsessed with settling old ideological scores or dragging our country back to the days of [former presidents Herbert] Hoover or [Calvin] Coolidge."
The forum, which featured an array of Democratic governors sharing the stage with business and union leaders, underscored the chief executives' belief in the virtues of some government spending, or as they put it, investments. Cutting spending, argued Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, would harm critical programs like early-childhood education.
"Really in these tough economic times, we don't want to be cutting back on something so fundamental because it harms our ability to compete," he said.
Quinn is one of the few governors, Republican or Democrat, to use a major tax increase to bridge the state's budget deficit, raising the income tax from 3 percent to 5 percent. In an interview, he bristled at the notion that, as the GOP would characterize it, his decision amounted to avoiding the tougher option of cutting spending.
"Tough choices? I made lots of tough choices," he said. "But we've grown more jobs than both Wisconsin and New Jersey put together."
Of governors like Christie and Walker, Quinn said: "These guys are on ideological crusades. They're the fad of the moment. The bottling is, what's the outcome? What have they produced? How many people are working?"
Other Democrats also questioned why, far from not doing the basics, governments no longer did the "big things." The interstate highway system, suggested Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer, would never be built today.
"Going to the moon? Forget it." he said. "We can't even go to Los Angeles."
Perhaps the most glaring aspect of the forum was the absence of any discussion of union benefits or union members' right to collectively bargain, an issue that has become part of a national discussion following Walker's effort to strip them of some of their bargaining rights in Wisconsin. Many Democratic governors, like O'Malley or New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, have talked openly about the need for some of the groups to take reductions in pay or benefits.
It's part of what they described as a pragmatic vision for state governments, one that works with unions and corporations instead of battling against them publicly. Many, like Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy or Delaware Gov. Jack Markell, said catering to businesses is one of their most important jobs.
"We have to get in their heads and focus in on things they care about," said Markell.

A 51-year-old Humble man is sentenced today after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting two young female relatives.
Alvin Brewer was sentenced to 10 years in prison for each case. The sentences will run concurrently.
Prosecutors say the first assault happened in Wellborn in 1999 but the victim didn't come forward until Brewer assaulted another relative in 2010. Brewer won't be eligible for parole until he serves at least half of his sentence.

By John D. BanusiewiczAmerican Forces Press Service
MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla., June 10, 2005 The global war on terror is not the kind of conflict that will end clearly with a treaty signing, Vice President Richard B. Cheney told servicemembers here today.
The vice president arrived this morning to meet with senior military officials and to speak on the closing day of U.S. Special Operations Command's annual Special Forces Week.
Cheney commended the military men and women for their hard work and successes, but said challenging times still lie ahead. "It's not the kind of conflict that's going to end with a treaty signing on the deck of the USS Missouri at the end of the day," he said. "It's a conflict that will be with us for a good many years to come."
The nation's adversaries continue to plan attacks against the United States, the vice president said. "And the absolute best way for us to make certain they don't get any of those attacks off, killing more Americans, is to take the fight to them," he said. "And that's exactly what you all have been doing."
Passing along the gratitude of President Bush and the American people to the servicemembers gathered in a hangar to greet him, Cheney thanked them for their "fantastic performance."
"You do a great job," he added, "and our kids and grandkids ... will be a lot safer with the challenges and the difficult duties that you've all accepted."

Before And After
Ceramic (3M Lava Zirconia) Crowns—Updating Her Smile
"L" had her original front crowns placed years ago. They no longer complimented her smile, plus she wanted to get rid of the all-too-common, dreaded black lines and dark gums. Her old crowns had a metal base that blocked light and cast a dark shadow on her roots and gums.
Replacing those with 3M's Zirconia-based LavaTM crowns was the answer. These metal-free crowns allow light to shine through the translucent porcelain and light up the gums. "L" didn't want a "cooky-cutter" or "chiclet" smile. Rather, she wanted it to look natural, and we accomplished that for her!

Current Research
I am a Civil Engineer working in the Soil and Water Engineering group of AWAE. I support Research Scientists with field research, data analysis, publication writing, and technology transfer. After a gratifying career in science education, I am excited to be involved in research using my engineering skills.
Research Interests
Modeling and mitigation techniques of hydrology and erosion after timber-harvest, prescribed fires and wildfires. This includes experiments that study hydrology, erodibility, vegeation recovery and water repellency. Using the process-based understandings, we predict erosion from spatially-varied, complex hillslopes. Develop and implement new monitoring methods and evaluate mitigation techniques.
Past Research
Erosion is a natural process; however, past management activities have caused degradation of water quality in numerous watersheds throughout various landscapes. Therefore, we develop tools and information to help managers make better decisions based on today's and future climates for improved management of our natural resources as well as impacts on life and property. Our tools and results are used by post-fire assessment teams, land management agencies, private interests, tribal and state governments.
Why This Research is Important
We learned the proper moisture content needed for prescribed fires to prevent increased or accelerated erosion and developed a tool to measure that moisture content for instantaneous readings in the field; We are able to predict post-fire erosion rates and effectiveness of selected mitigation treatments.

Ramadi is always in my mind. It may be on my mind for a long time to come.

Sig Christenson: The 'hard work' of Iraq
Iraq, President Bush has said on the stump more than once, is tough.

Google Earth 5.2 no longer uses the operating system's web browser when you click on links. Google Earth comes with a WebKit-based browser, so you'll never have to leave the application to open a Wikipedia page or the website of a local business.
"Sometimes when you want more information, you may want to click through to a link to see the full Google Places page for a business, or learn more about a photographer whose photo you really enjoy. In the past, this has required opening a link in an external browser to see the full page. For Google Earth 5.2, we've added an embedded browser that lets you browse the full web. Click on a link, and the browser pane slides across the screen. When you want to return to the Earth view, just click the Back button," explains Google.
Apparently, Google Earth uses the Qt port of WebKit (QtWebKit) and it doesn't include the V8 Javascript engine from Google Chrome. I tried to run the V8 benchmark suite in Google Earth and the result was very poor: about 10 times lower than the latest Chromium build.
As in the previous versions, Google Earth for Windows and Mac also includes a plug-in that lets you embed a Google Earth view in any web page. Google Maps is the most popular service that lets you use Google Earth in your browser. Now you can browse the Web in Google Earth and use Google Earth in a Web browser.
If you don't like the embedded browser, you can disable it by going to Tools > Options > General and checking "Show web results in external browser".

I was in a trip next year,my vacation was USA.And before ı came back to Turkey,I had smell J.LO luxe fragrance in a mall,called Superfresh in NEW jERSEY.I just captivated and wanna buy too much,but ı couldnt :( Because ı need more money to go back my country so ı couldnt spend money as well.
When ı came Turkey,lots of shops that ı visited,ı couldnt found Live Luxe,just the other products of J.Lo.I was disappointed.Tried to search it on the internet,when ı found from Fragrancex.com,you should have see my elation :))
So now ı have J.Lo luxe,it smells like the one that I smell in USA,the same delicious,the same sweety bottle,and stand out in relief that cheaper than I expect :))
Thank you FRAGRANCEX,persuade...

I use this spray everyday, and the bodywash for special occasions. I love it so much. It lasts forever,even on laundered clothes,on skin and even in jeans. It's literally one of the best and my new signature fragrance :)

Comments about Jennifer Lopez Live Luxe Perfume:
First, a lot of exotic fruits, sweet flavor, just candy, but in the base appears sharp note of musk, which is a little dissonant with flavor. Overall a lovely perfume. Very nice bottle, perfect decoration for the dressing table.
