The theme of the last couple of weeks for liberals has been "overreach." That's the word they've been using incessantly to try to depict all efforts to hold the administration accountable for a trio of scandals that have undermined the credibility of the Obama presidency. But while the lingering questions about the lies told about Benghazi as well as those about the Justice Department's spying on journalists are troubling, the need to push back on the investigation into the IRS scandal is a particular priority for the president's cheering section. Thus, instead of seeking to work harder to get to the bottom of the troubling targeting of conservatives by the nation's tax agency, many Democrats and others on the left have concentrated on trying to delegitimize those asking the questions.
The principle target of those attacks has been House Oversight Committee Chair Darrell Issa, whose reputation for partisanship and combative personality have made him an easy mark for those trying to paint the focus on scandals as merely a Republican tactic, rather than a national imperative to get the truth. Issa's claim that White House spokesman Jay Carney was a "paid liar" added to this impression even if it is hard to argue with the truth of the accusation. That incident led to a vicious and personal counter-attack on Issa by Obama strategist David Plouffe.
But now it appears that while Democrats may have gained some initial traction with their "overreach" talking point, it's starting to look as if it is those on the left are the ones who are doing the real overreaching in this controversy. The latest and most egregious instance of this liberal overreach comes from MSNBC host Martin Bashir, who argued on the network yesterday that the anger about the IRS's political targeting as well as its outrageous misuse of public funds is nothing more than a racist attack on President Obama.
Here's what Bashir said:
MARTIN BASHIR: The IRS is being used in exactly the same way as they tried to used the president's birth certificate. You see, for Republicans like Darrell Issa, who knows something about arson, the IRS now stands for something inflammatory. Those three letters are now on fire with political corruption and malfeasance, burning hot. Just like that suspicious fire that engulfed Mr. Issa's warehouse back in 1982. And, despite the complete lack of any evidence linking the president to the targeting of tea party groups, Republicans are using it as their latest weapon in the war against the black man in the White House. …
This strategy is nothing new. And it was explained way back in 1981, by Lee Atwater, who was Bush 41's chief strategist. In a tape recording, Mr. Atwater revealed how Republicans evolved their language to achieve the same purpose. He said: 'You start out in 1954, by saying 'n*****, n*****, n*****. By 1968, you can't say n*****, that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like forced bussing, states rights, and all that stuff and you're getting so abstract. Now you're talking about cutting taxes. We want to cut this is much more abstract than even the bussing thing and a hell of a lot more abstract than n*****, n*****.'
So this afternoon, we welcomed the latest phrase in the lexicon of Republican attacks on this president: the IRS. Three letters that sound so innocent but we know what you mean.
It would be easy to dismiss Bashir as nothing more than a crackpot with a TV show, but this "dog whistle" argument is not an isolated instance. The head of the Louisiana Democratic Party made the same point when she claimed the only reason why so many Americans oppose ObamaCare is the color of the president's skin. In other words, for the left, conservatives have no other motivation or ideology but hatred of blacks.
This is insulting and stupid. But it is also contradicted by the anger against the IRS that Rep. Elijah Cummings, the black Democrat who is the ranking member of the Oversight Committee, has expressed about the abuses of the IRS.
All Americans, no matter their race, have a vested interest in protecting their constitutional rights against a government that continues to seek more power at the expense of the individual. That's why the majority of Americans continue to oppose ObamaCare. And it's also why they think the abuses at the IRS must be thoroughly investigated and all those involved held accountable. Republicans like Issa must be careful to let the story tell itself as the investigation proceeds. But it is neither racist nor unreasonable for them to be asking whether those who did these acts were in any way inspired by the inflammatory rhetoric used by both the president and much of the liberal media.
It is not surprising that many on the left would prefer to engage in ad hominem attacks and reckless use of racism accusations rather than face the facts about a government that can't be trusted. Screaming the "n" word is an escape from the reality of a second Obama administration mired in scandal. But doing this does neither the country nor African Americans any favors.
By seeking to cast all of the president's critics as bigots who use the "n" word, leftists like Bashir are acting as racial hucksters, exploiting fear and seeking to arouse hatred against anyone who disagrees with them. That's what the left has been trying to do to the Tea Party movement since it began, and despite their lack of proof for their charges of racism, they have persisted in these smears.
It's easier to live in a fantasy world where your critics are cartoon bigots than to defend the administration's conduct. Instead of falsely crying racism, liberals should be listening to their fellow citizens who oppose Obama's policies and engaging them in thoughtful debate about constitutional principles and policy. But if they do that, they'd have to acknowledge the legitimacy of their opponents, and that is something they'd rather not do.
The only overreaching going on about the IRS is a liberal campaign to silence administration critics with false charges of racism. As enjoyable as this escape from reality might be for the left, they have to know that the American people aren't buying it.

Click/loop/backtracking help
Right now, I wanna take it a step further but I have no idea how because I'm so new to this, I'd get a headache using Live and Reason due to its complicated interface and all these new features and buttons.
The other thing I read about is that it's possible to run a metronome click on my left ear and the drum loops/synths/backtracks on my right ear. I downloaded a couple of metronome mp3 that's either a hi hat, cowbell or snare sound and I wanna put it on to Garageband. For some reason, when I change the tempo, the metronome doesn't change. I tried converting it to .aif file, it still won't work.
Once again, I'm like in my infant stage at this and it'd be a great big help if you guys can guide me on this, I'm trying to take my band to the next level. Thanks guys!
Re: Click/loop/backtracking help
I find Reason to be a pain in the rear, although I have several musicians friends who swear by it.
And yes, what you describe is a real loop.
I'm not familiar with garage band, but does it have midi? You could then get a simple sound plug in, and use midi to program out custom clicks. Or get a simple click plug in that lets you set the tempo. I make custom clicks in Protools all the time, but I'm not sure how it works in garage band.

Rathbun: When to take a profit on a holdingWritten by Gary Rathbun | | email@example.com
Recently, I was asked when one should take a profit on a holding. Although this is a fairly simple question there are several answers that might be applicable depending on your circumstances or goals. There is an old saying, and I don't know who to attribute it to, but the saying goes, "You never go broke taking a profit."
If you have a decent profit on a particular holding there is nothing wrong with locking in that profit and realizing the gains. Of course, there are tax consequences to take into consideration, which I will not go into here, but are important nonetheless.
Studying the technicals and the fundamentals are what come into play when deciding the timing on when to take a profit. Last week we talked about the price to earnings, or P/E ratio and the importance of this number when evaluating the price of a holding. As the price of a stock moves up, the price in relation to the earnings becomes greater and hence more expensive.
If the P/E ratio is creeping up and the forward financials indicate a slowing in the earnings, or even flat earnings, you might want to take the profit.
Another strategy for those unsure whether to sell or not is to sell off a partial position and keep the remainder. This is like having your cake and eating it too, but it does provide a compromise on whether to sell today.
Often we take the profit off the holding and invest it into another holding. This helps to diversify a portfolio and spread the risk further.
Options are a little more complicated method of locking in the profit of a holding. You can simply purchase a "put" at a set price that will lock in the profit. The purchase price of the "put" can reduce the overall profit you make on the holding but it does give you flexibility in the timing and pricing of a sale. (Many of the option strategies employed are "cashless" meaning there is no out-of-pocket cost to the investors).
Most investment advisers don't invest or use options since they are complicated and require diligence in using them, but they are very useful and offer a tremendous amount of protection.
A contrarian attitude of when to sell is when everyone else is buying. If the volume starts to pick up significantly it may be time to get out and take the gain. Generally, once the media starts to sing the praises of a company and how well it has done recently, it's time to get out and into something else.
Finally, a good indicator of when to get out is if the insiders are selling. If the CEO or other top executives are selling their shares they probably know something you don't and you might want to follow their lead. This is public information and readily available for anyone who knows where to look.
Many factors go into deciding if and when to sell a holding. For example, a change in the company's product line, a change in the competition's product line, foreign competition or the costs of production, and the overall economy and spending habits of the consumer.
I never get emotionally attached to a holding and if there is a profit, I generally take it and move on. You never miss an opportunity because there is always another one coming along. I am also never opposed to buying back into a stock if the numbers change and it looks like I can make a profit again.
Remember … you never go broke taking a profit!

Update: Your Google Reader stuff will live until July 15
Tomorrow we will be bidding adieu to Google Reader. In fact, it is better to say that Google is killing off its Google Reader from July 1. If you have been using Google Reader a lot to follow and read news and other updates then it may be a bad news for you. Well, don't be over upset. Will try to help you with alternatives to the Google Reader.
What is Google Reader
Before I proceed, let me explain to others in brief what is Google Reader actually. It is a Web-based app that pulls in articles from other websites that you subscribe so that all the updated articles there is dropped in your Google Reader app and help you to read and follow all at once.
When was Google Reader launched
Google Reader was launched on October 7, 2005 by Google engineer Chris Wetherell. He changed the way we follow and read news. It was a simple design equipped with infinite news customizability. In a very short span of time Google Reader became the king of the RSS world.
When Google started ditching Google Reader
For years Google shown signs of going far and far with Google Reader RSS app. However, in 2008 when Google released its new web browser, the Chrome, it failed to render RSS feeds. This was the first step to ditch Google Reader by Google. Next, in 2011 the Web giant completely removed Google Reader's social functions to lure users coming to its newly launched social networking platform Google Plus.
When Google officially announced shutting Google Reader
On March 13, 2013 Google officially announced of shutting down its Google Reader very soon. However, the search giant offered three-month period for users to take a backup of their stuff and switch to other such reading apps provided by other developers. Tomorrow the grace period is ending.
What are the alternatives to Google Reader
This is nature's law. When one door closes, other opens. To take advantage of the opportunity several tech companies have rushed to lure users of Google Reader to their similar apps. Few of those are as below:
- Reeder
- Press
- Newsify
These three have already announced to sync data of users from Google Reader to their app seamlessly. There are other apps too and one is also coming from Facebook. Though the social giant has not promised of any syncing service from Google Reader to their app, but it is learned the Facebook's own reader will be something different and integrated in Facebook platform. There are two more reading apps – Feedly, Digg Reader, Curata Reader, The Old Reader and AOL Reader.
|Happy Retirement from feedly
As Google announced the retiring of its Google Reader Web app, Feedly became one of the early frontrunners as an alternative to it and within short span of time it managed to grab around 3 million new users. By now it has over twelve million users. It offers easy user interface and helps in smooth importing of Google feeds to it. Yes, in just click of one button you can do so. It is learned Feedly is also coming up with premium option for power users.
Digg Reader
In just three months of time the developers at Digg developed a reader dubbed as Google Reader. Just a week ago it released the beta version of its Digg Reader so that Google Reader users can import their feeds to it. The user interface of it is similar to that of Google Reader and its keyboard shortcuts are similar too. Also, Digg says the import is seamless. Apart from all these, the Digg Reader also facilitates signing in with Twitter, Google and Facebook accounts.
Curata Reader
Curata Reader is one of the cleanest RSS readers for the Web. It has less of content on the screen and offers a refreshing amount of white space. Curata Reader may not be liked by those who wants too many content in one screen, but the few clean lines in it acts as separators between the feeds. The reader also has attractive typefaces, nifty rollover animations and intuitive icons. Overall, the Curata Reader is a beautiful Web site.
The Old Reader
This is a close replica to the Google Reader. The Old Reader was created after the redesigning of the Google Reader in 2011. If you have used the original design of Google Reader, you will find the same layout and familiar colors in The Old Reader. Also, it incorporates with the popular social features to help easy sharing with friends.
AOL Reader
There is nothing special about this AOL Reader, but definitely it is good at the basics. It looks neat and clean and good solution to RSS feeds. You can have the headlines in either list view in it or in a more spread-out look either in Card View or in multiple columns. Well, the AOL Reader is still in the beta phase. Creating an account is easy and fast here. You can sing in to AOL Reader with your Google, Twitter, Facebook or old AOL account.
Still confused which reader to go for after the death of Google Reader? You can try Netvibes or InoReader. Also, if you are looking for a completely different experience then go for Flipboard.
Remember to take backup of your Google Reader stuff before moving it to another reader. You can do so through Google Takeout as an OPML file. For this you need to go to the settings of Google Reader and then to export option. It's easy. Just check it.
Do share in the below comment box your own favorite reader alternative to Google Reader. At the end, just know Google Reader was a good stuff and plenty of people across the world used it regularly. I too. Well, probably the other alternatives of Google Reader may provide with better user experience and more features.

Discussion in 'Find 5 | General Discussion' started by Dragon Emperor Joe, Mar 26, 2013.
Anyone got their handsome midnight on their hand already?
thats what i say.
last, when i get this message, i have to send the oppo or paypal bill to dhl, and have to pay 81 € tax.
and now......i think i have the same sh...... again.
Further Detail:
The Clearance process for this shipment is pending till such time that some additional details required for clearance are provided to the regulatory authorities Next Step:
If you are the shipper who prepared the documentation, please contact DHL Customer Service for further details
Who declared it as gift? Oppo insured it for $ 150 and this is used as the basis for the tax.
Mine will be here today! This will be my first new phone in almost 4 years! I've been using the Samsung i8910 Omnia HD, and the Find 5 has been the first device released that I felt was worth the upgrade. DHL shipping has been incredible as well. From Hong Kong to Miami in 15 hours...on a Sunday...
Mine is on the DHL van and should be in my hands by the end of the day. Crazy considering it was in Hong Kong 3 days ago!
Sent from my Oppo Find 5 using Tapatalk.
same here -,-
Insist what is on the packet is all you know. Easy.
Hi all
Just joined the forum but been reading a couple weeks
My midnight has been sitting in Germany for 24hrs and no notes etc.
I have phoned DHL and they have said there is no delay (strange as a lot here seem to have gone in and out a lot quicker) anyhow they have said it will be leaving later today, and delivered tomorrow, no mention of taxes "YET"
Here's hoping
Strange. I had quite a couple of telephone calls because the Beauty has been ordered by my Company which has never imported anything from outside Europe. In this case one must request issuance of an EORI number with another authority. This request together with a sending protocol from the fax sending and a copy of the original invoice had to be provided to DHL by mail. In Addition, one had to fill out a contract that askd DHL to treat tax issues in behalf of a third party (me). So this is how it goes if your boss (possibly yourself) is doing you a favour.
Take care
Hi there,
Like warlord above, I've been reading on this forum for quite a while. I was convinced to buy a Find 5 Midnight as well and am waiting for it to arrive. Mine is in Amsterdam since this morning; DHL tracking gives me the following message right now:
The Clearance process for this shipment is on-going with additional details required for clearance. The clearance process will continue once the additional details are provided for clearance.
Wondering how long this will take, I didn't receive e-mails or calls from DHL to provide assistance.
I guess it'll be all worth the wait!!
I'd recommend to act (call) instead of waiting.
i phoned to dhl...dhl has send a mail to oppo about the price and content inside
two things you can do. ..
1. wait that oppo send a answer, with low prices.
but why should they do that, and how long will it take?
2. you will send it by yourself. this will be fast, and expensive. ....81 €.
So which option did you take?
Tried to call, but customer service is closed for today. I will try again in the morning.
i still think about..........I don't wanna pay the big tax a second time.
You may have luck at Frankfurt Airport is a strike.
Guys am not certain on this but I think UK has highest taxes in Europe, I bought 32gb OF5 and had to pay £26.50 tax once you pay tax phone is delivered the next day, good luck folks.
PS plz post vids and pics of black OF5, wanna see what it looks like.
Mine is sent today. I was afraid they should set the value for what it really is, so I asked them to do this on the message of the order. Same with paypal order. I hope DHL or customs cant see that I wrote this, and that the value is really 150 USD. Did any of you get reciept on the package, or only by mail? What do you think?
Oh.. DHL.
They even call me earlier today and said they were gonna deliver it tomorrow around 8-10AM.
Not long ago i recieved a txt saying they were missing some papers and the pack was stopped in customs.. now they are shipping it back to Oslo.. more days to wait..
Oh bad luck :/ Clearance events really seem random... Hope you'll receive it tomorrow !
My packet has been accepted by customs after sending the email, no informations about what I'll need to pay.
My Find 5 has been in Amsterdam for the last 24 hours, without any status update.

About Clouded Leopards
Clouded leopards are an elusive endangered cat that lives in the Himalayas, southern China, and from Taiwan to peninsula Malaysia. They are amazing climbers and spend lots of time up in the trees. The clouded leopard is known mostly for the beautiful "cloud" pattern on its coat and because they have the longest teeth relative to body size of any living cat!
The Houston Zoo is home to two adult clouded leopards, Suksn and Tarak, and their two adorable new cubs! Koshi and Senja were born on June 9, 2014.
We'll be raising money for their wild cousins with a raffle and a silent auction of special paintings by some of the zoos animal artists.

November 2011 Athlete of the Month
Chris Parrott
Chris Parrott, a third year player on the men's basketball team, has been named the Hilbert College Student-Athlete of the Month for November, 2011.
The 6-5 Parrott helped lead the Hawks to a 2-4 non-conference record in the first month of the 2011-12 season. He is the second leading scorer and rebound for the Hawks, averaging 14.5 ppg (45% field goal percentage) and 5.0 rpg. Parrott scored in a variety of ways and typically defended the opponent's big weapon; he was the team-leader with 6 blocks in November when he averaged 24.8 minutes per game.
Parrott's best overall performance was against Keuka College in the opening round of the Hilbert Tip Off Tournament when he scored 21 points, shooting 8-10 from the floor (3 for 4 from long distance) and 2-3 from the charity stripe. Against Cazenovia on the last day of the month, the team captain netted 22 points and cleaned the glass for 5 boards in the team's 82-78 road victory.
Parrott (Warsaw, NY/Warsaw) is a criminal justice major and is expected to graduate in the spring of 2012.

My question is this...if the cop was worried about the gun being in the truck, enough so that he made me stand in front of his cruiser, why wouldn't he care about having someone else in the truck? Seems like he'd have asked her to step out as well. Maybe he was assuming she wasn't competent with firearms? Heck, she's a better shot than me most days! And I'm usually a lights out shooter!
fickman wrote:You assumed he pulled you over for speeding. . . he could've been responding to an Amber Alert with a description of a similar car. You may have also inadvertently communicated, "I get pulled over all the time and have so many tickets that I already know what you're gong to ask. . . it's in the door." Or he might have been put off at a perceived attempt to rush him in his job.
You also don't know his history with CHLers. .. it could be his first encounter. He could've just transferred from California and be an anti. He could've just arrested somebody with a fake CHL. During a traffic stop, his alert will be on high, and any communication outside of what he expects as "normal" could cause confusion, a misunderstanding, or frustration.
My recommendation is to stay calm and treat every encounter like it's the only one you'll ever have. Even if you know where the conversation is headed, you have to go through the dance steps to get there, and you have to let the LEO lead.
I think leaving your passenger in the car showed he wasn't too worried and was likely passing along a lesson in patience.
As others said, congrats on the niece! Be safe out there! And thanks for posting.

Equally tragic is the editing at the T-P:

I've been fortunate to know Nick for most of my life and can say that he has always put the interests of others above his personal interest, often at his expense and to his detriment. He is bright, honest, energetic, enthusiastic, and decent and, given all of the nefarious activity our local politicians have been involved in, a definite silver lining to the political cloud hanging over our city. We should allow him to continue to serve District 94 upon the completion of his service.
Do you think she could have been in town for the Saints game?
I am afraid your position is wrong. As can be seen by reading the original complaint, the primary reason no indictment was sought in connection with the criminal activity in this case was that the relevant statute(s) of limitations had passed and therefore the prosecution of the crimes were otherwise time-barred.
There is more to this than simply "drinking too much and going to casinos." That's the problem with this city and state, as we have historically laughed-off behavior such as this judge's as the "Louisiana way" of doing business.
I know first-hand.
And I'll leave it at that.

Thank you for your interest in
program here at Lehigh University. The
Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES) has 14
faculty that cover a broad range of disciplines in Geology, Ecology,
Environmental Science. I am a fluvial and tectonic geomorphologist
interested in the long-term evolution of landscapes, the fluvial
to active tectonics, and watershed response to human-dimension climatic
change. EES has active research programs in all of these areas and we
aggressively recruiting outstanding graduate students to build the
program in these and related disciplines. The faculty I collaborate and
interact with most closely here are Peter
Zeitler (tectonics and geochronology), Ed
Evenson (glacial geology and geomorphology), Joan Ramage (Remote Sensing, InSAR), Anne
Meltzer (seismology, geophysics), and David
Anastasio (structural geology). I've got a new collaborations underway with our
ecologists, paleoecologists, hydrologists, and climate modelers (Don Morris,
Bruce Hargreaves, Zicheng Yu, Steve Peters, and Ben Felzer) working on the
ecology and physical hydrology of the Lehigh River watershed. And I
maintain close research ties to Les McFadden, and John Geissman at the University
of New Mexico (my former institution), as well as to Mark Brandon
University. Visit these pages to learn more about our labs and active,
collaborative research projects.
Tectonics Research Group Surface Processes Research Group Environmental Change Research Group Geomorph Facilities
Research in surficial processes
well represented across the board in EES. It is one of the few
nationwide with two geomorphologists of complementary expertise on
(Pazzaglia and Evenson); Peter Zeitler and Bruce Idelman (research
have brought a new He/U-Th thermochronology lab on line dedicated to
near-term exhumation of orogens; the ecology group has a long standing
excellent reputation for expertise in limnology (Heargreaves and Morris) and
paleoecology (Yu) and our geochemist
(Peters) has an active research programs in watershed-scale aqueous
geochemistry. Our commitment to excellence in surficial processes is
by our recent hires of a soil geologist/ecologist and paleoecologist.
OK, OK!!! This is not the view from the University (wish it was). But this place is real close by! It is the view looking northwest at the five water gaps at Harrisburg - perhaps the one, most important place where Davis and company struggled to understand the origin of transverse drainages. Lehigh University is actually located on the northern flank of Pennsylvania's Blue Ridge (South Mountain) and has a commanding view of the Lehigh Valley (Great Valley) and Ridge and Valley of the Appalachians to the northwest. This is the landscape of Davis and Hack. It is where the great geomorphic discourses on long-term landscape evolution were born and continue to be lively debated. Far from a "dead" orogen, the Appalachians have a complicated post orogenic exhumational history and stand as one of the best studied orogens in the decay stage of its evolution. These studies, some of which are now ongoing funded research projects in the EES Department, are investigating the causes of late stage rock-uplift and exhumation through the relatively new technique of He/U-Th thermochronology. Over a distance of only 250 km, one can travel from the subsided Tr-J rift-flank uplift buried under a wedge of Coastal Plain sediments, across the Fall Zone, a flexurally-maintained hinge of the isostatically-rising continent and subsiding Coastal Plain, through the high grade metamorphic heart of the formerly Andean-scale late Paleozoic Appalachians on the Piedmont, to a continental rift basin formed during a time when the area around Lehigh looked like the Basin and Range, into the Ridge and Valley, the fold and trust belt of the late Paleozoic Appalachians, and finally, the Allegheny Plateau, the seaward facing escarpment marking the present-day location of the drainage divide in its slow, but methodical westward march.
In addition to the exciting
tectonic geomorphology research in the Appalachians, the setting is
suited to studying climatic, ground water, and coastal processes. A
range of glacial and periglacial deposits in central and eastern
preserve a rich record of the effects of past climate changes on
Ground water geomorphology is well-expressed in the numerous karst
underlying Pennsylvania's carbonate valleys. And easy access to beaches
on the Atlantic coast provide a hands-on experiences of coastal
and change.
The research and graduate program for geomorphology students is decidedly field-intensive and designed to afford opportunities to learn about the geomorphology in Lehigh's own backyard, as well as the individual's location of study. Current research is motivated by three primary interests:
Current geomorphologic and related research projects include the studies of three Ph.D. students, one M.S. student, and a post-doc.
Matt Bennett is a second-year year Ph.D. student interested in fluvial bio-geomorphology. Matt is working on modeling the production of DOC and its transport out of watersheds by streams. Given that a lot of previous research has shown that land use impacts DOC production, Matt is looking across a gradient of land uses in Pennsylvania, beginning with rare virgin forest watersheds and ending with heavily-impacted watersheds underlain by legacy sediments. He is combining hydrology, paleohydrology, and NetLogo modeling to learn if correctly managed watersheds can be net sinks for atmospheric carbon dioxide. Matt's project is currently not funded.
Chris Dempsey is a first-year Ph.D. student interested in fluvial ecology. Chris is co-advised by Don Morris. Chris is interested in understanding the microbial ecology of small streams where DOC metabolism takes place. He has set up experiments of microbial bio-reactors that are modeling the metabolic activities of impacted to virgin watershed microbial communities. Chris's project is currently not funded
Ryan McKeon is a second-year Ph.D. student interested in thermochronology, tectonic geomorphology, and landscape evolution. He is co-advised by Peter Zeitler. Ryan is interested in studying several poorly-understood aspects of the U-Th/He low-temperature thermochronometer on cooling ages, namely the impacts of slow cooling and natural grain abrasion. In addition, he is testing the possibility of using whole-sample dating of mudstone as a viable thermochronometric method. He is using the Appalachians as the natural laboratory for his studies.
Kellen Gunderson is a second year M.S. student studying active tectonics in northern Italy. Kellen is co-advised by Dave Anastasio. Kellen's project is a unique blend of mag-strat geochronology with active tectonics, using Milankovitch-tuned stratigraphy to document the unsteadiness in anticlinal fold growth. That unsteadiness may be driven by surficial processes, a hypothesis he is testing by comparing the growth of two adjacent, but unlinked structures.
Claudio Berti is
a post-doc co-supported by Joan Ramage.
Claudio has developed our tectonic geomorphology InSAR lab as a component of the
broader Remote Sensing lab. Claudio is a geologist, geomorphologist, and
InSAR geodesist with a specific interest in Apennine active tectonics and
general interest in landscape evolution of mountainous regions worldwide.
Come learn InSAR at Lehigh - one of the few tectonic geomorphology programs that has integrated InSAR into its research and education.
Current, pending, and just some ideas for research projects in addition to those associated with the above students include:
A reasonable measure of what prospective students might expect out of a graduate degree from Pazzaglia's program at Lehigh is to know what former students are now doing. Keeping in mind that these folks have driven their own success, here's a list of the current activities of former students where I was the major advisor (more or less in the order of their graduation):
Garcia (M.S.) (Ph.D. UCSB) Associate Professor - Dept of Physics, Cal Poly State University (San
Merri Lisa Formento-Trigilio (M.S; PhD Penn State) Exxon/Mobile Research and Development - Houston
Dan Koning (M.S.) Employed by New Mexico Bureau of Mines and Mineral Resources.
Paul Wisniewski (M.S.) Environmental Consulting firm - Hawaii.
David Mitchell (M.S.) Employed by private environmental consultant, Massachusetts.
Joel Pederson (Ph.D.) Associate Professor - Utah State University.
Justin Pearce (M.S.) Employed by William Lettis and Associates, Oakland California
Sarah Newland (M.S.) Employed by SFEI, San Francisco California
Jeremy Laucks (M.S.) Professional River Kayaker
Sarah Flanagan (M.S.) Medical School
Matt Wendell (M.S.) Middle School Teacher Earth Science Teacher, North Penn School Dsitrict
Kurt Frankel (M.S.) (PhD USC) Assistant Professor - Dept of Earth and Atmospheric Science, Georgia Tech University.
Patrick Belmont (Ph.D.) Post-Doc, NCED, University of Minnesota; Assistant Professor, Utah State University.
Josh Galster (Ph.D.) Assistant Professor - Dept of Earth and Environmental Science, Montclair State University.
Karl Wegmann (M.S. UNM, Ph.D. Lehigh) Washington State DCNR; Assistant Professor - North Carolina State University.
The graduate student in geomorphology can expected to take a wide range of course offerings in EES as well as supporting related sciences from other Departments, particularly Civil Engineering. Specific course offerings (400-level are graduate courses) in any two year teaching cycle may include (* = core course):

Vietnam September industrial production index up 12 pct y/y-govt
Vietnam's index of industrial production (IIP) this month rose an estimated 12.0 percent from last September, more than doubling the annual growth of 5.8 percent last month, the government said on Saturday.
The general Statistical Office also estimated the index for the first nine months rose 7.8 percent from the same period last year, accelerating from an annual pace of 7.3 percent in the January-August period.
In June, the GSO started using the IIP in place of a previous industrial output index that used 1994 prices as a base. It gave no value for industrial output this month or in the January-September period.
(percentage change from a year earlier)
September 11 Jan-September 11 August 11 Jan-August 11
Overall 12.0 7.8 5.8 7.3
Mining industry 6.6 0.8 -5.6 -0.7
Processing industry 15.0 10.7 10.2 10.7

Kurtzberg said their treatment successes provide a strong argument for mandatory, universal screening of all newborns for the genetic lysosomal storage diseases. The major barrier to universal newborn screening is building an infrastructure to support widespread testing, she said. The cost of testing itself would be relatively low.
Although lysosomal storage diseases are rare ?fewer than 5,000 births combined out of 4 million per year in the U.S. ?they are best treated if patients are diagnosed and treated in early infancy, said Kurtzberg. In fact, transplantation in newborns yields the best long-term outcomes and newborns tolerate the transplants more easily than older babies and children.
"Time is of the essence in treating these children before symptoms progress and become irreversible," said Kurtzberg, director of Duke's Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Program. "Delaying the transplant even a week or two can make a noticeable difference in a child's motor skills, so timely diagnosis and treatment is essential to preserving brain and motor function."
Children transplanted after onset of symptoms do stabilize but exhibit minimal neurologic improvement, said Maria Luisa Escolar, MD, of UNC-CH, whose team assessed the neurological, cognitive and physical development of each child with Krabbe Disease before and after transplant.
Escolar is lead author of the study and directs the Program for Neurodevelopmental Function in Rare Disorders at the Center for Development and Learning, UNC-CH. The program is dedicated to tracking the natural history and the effects of new therapies in children with rare diseases.
In the new study, eleven asymptomatic newborns (ages 12 to 44 days) and 14 symptomatic infants (ages 142 days to a year) were treated with unrelated donor umbilical cord blood. Cells from the donor "engrafted" or took hold in all of the patients. All of the asymptomatic newbo

Such a versatile product to have in your vanity arsenal
When it comes to healthy hair, it's not just what you put on your tresses that count ... it's what you put in your body, too.
Your hair not only forms one of the important aspects of your personality, but also reflects your general health. It is very much vulnerable to the stresses and strains of your everyday life and also gets affected by the type and quality of food that you eat. If you are not taking care of yourself and you are following an unhealthy diet, your hair will tend to lose its shine and bounce and become extremely dull and brittle. You should consume a healthy diet and indulge in regular exercise to ensure that your hair follicles get enough blood and your hair remains healthy.
Find out more about hair care, with the tips given below.
Healthy Hair Tips
• Before washing your hair, always brush/comb it. It will help remove any dirt and dead skin cells from your scalp and hair, while shampooing.
• Massage your scalp at least once in a week with either oil or a hair mask. Keep the oil or mask on overnight and wash your hair in the morning.
• Use lukewarm warm for washing your hair and for the final rinse, try using cool water for shine.
• Avoid using hair dryers and straightening irons as much as you can. Rather, squeeze the wet hair; blot it with a towel and then let it air-dry.
• Never use a brush in your hair when it is wet, try to let it dry first. Always use a wide tooth comb in wet hair as this causes less breakage.
• Cut down on refined, processed and canned foods. Stick to fresh food items as much as possible.
• Get your hair trimmed every six to eight weeks, so as to prevent and to also get rid of existing split ends.
You know what I am talking about, it doesn't matter if I put my makeup on before I blow dry my hair or after I have done my hair; its hard to get my makeup on without it wanting to slide straight off my face particularly on those steamy hot humid days. I love living on the coast, but it's one of the down sides to living in this coastal environment!
How often should I use a treatment in my hair? "There's a theory that the longer you keep a treatment in your hair, the better it will be. That's a myth. The hair cuticle can only absorb so much at a time. Always follow the instructions on the product. A prescribed treatment once a week is perfect for most hair types, but you need to work out what your hair is lacking, such as moisture or protein."Handy hint: adding heat allows the treatment to absorb into the cuticle more intensely. Try wrapping a hot towel around your hair or if you can, relax in the sun and sip a latte while your hair gets a boost.
How can I fix my split ends and stop them from coming back? "Have a trim every six to eight weeks (even if you're growing your hair), to assist in eliminating split ends. The longer you leave it between salon visits, the longer the split ends become, and soon you'll find you're having more cut off than you wanted. There are products on the market that will help seal the ends for those days when you're having a blow dry, but in the end you need to understand that a split end cannot and never will repair itself – in the long run it needs to be cut off."
I blow dry and straighten my hair most days of the week. Is this really bad for my hair? "The old adage, 'Everything in moderation' is also true when it comes to blowdrying and straightening. The first thing to do before a blow dry is apply a heat protector. Spray a couple of squirts, distribute it evenly and you're good to blow dry as normal.
My hair is crazy curly! How can I make it look more styled and less frizzy? "As a final step give your hair a cool rinse after shampooing and conditioning. This will tighten up the cuticle and add magnificent sheen, and your hair will keep those gorgeous curls. Usually this type of hair craves moisture, so the more you feed your hair, the better it will behave. The best way to style super-curly hair is to add some shorter layers around your face – by doing this you'll avoid that pyramid shape and it will be easier to maintain. To control the curl, try using a medium- to heavy-hold moisture cream. Work it into the hair, then twist pieces into coils five centimetres in diameter, starting at the nape area and working up to your part.
Help! How can I stop my hair from getting so oily? "There's an easy remedy. When the hair is damp, spray some sea-salt spray all over to give instant texture, then blow dry the product in. To keep your hair fresh between washes, try Fudge - Urban Dry Shampoo It's great for combating oily hair. Simply spray onto the roots to absorb moisture and dirt. Brush out and you're left with shiny, non-greasy, fresh hair. So quick and simple!
When I straighten my hair and it's raining outside, it always goes frizzy! What can I use to stop this from happening? "Always hit the cool nozzle on your hairdryer after you've finished creating the shape in your blow dry. This technique will not only impart a luxurious sheen close to the cuticle (it's great for blondes), it will control those unruly frizzles and lengthen the life of your blow dry."

Below is the poem entitled First Day Blues which was written by poet
Fisher. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Janette Fisher
There she stands, just three feet tall
Today of all days she looks so small,
Wearing new shoes and sparkling white socks
She goes to pick up her pink lunch box
Then we put on coats and head out of the door
It's hard to believe that she is now four,
As we walk down the road, she laughs and sings
Not knowing how it pulls my heart strings
Starting to run when she sees the gates
She calls "hurry mummy, don't want to be late!".
She enters the room with 'the very nice lady'
A big girl now, not my little baby,
I turn to leave tears burning my eyes
From her words "love you mummy" on saying our goodbyes,
Back through the gates with a long walk home
Long because now she's not here, I'm alone
For four years now we've spent each day together
I wish in my heart, it could be that way forever
But I recognise that is against all the rules
For today, is my daughters' first day at school.
copyright Janette Fisher 1989
This poem was written 23 years ago when my oldest daughter Elizabeth went to school

My roommate just sent me this and my mind was blooooooown.
I always like when something that was hinted at or a footnote in a previous iteration of something comes up in a big way later on down the line, and this was ALL the way back in the first game. I think Leviathan was, by many accounts, one of the more underrated pieces of DLC, even though it was almost certainly originally intended to be in-game.
I also LOVE that people are still uncovering stuff like this!

I never knew this, but my Aunt told me my grandmother died hating God because a preacher told her at my cousins funeral that he was in Hell for committing suicide. My Aunt said that she tried to bring up God again when she was dying and she said she could never love a God who was torturing her grandchild.

The chicken in my dish was over cooked. The dish lacked flavor. I ordered Black Bean Chicken and it was probably the worst that I've had. The Lo Mein was way too greasy.
Posted by Anonymous on 07/05/2007
I went there on my lunch break w/ my co-worker and the place does not look so grreat from the outside and inside as well. I ordered the roast pork udon noodle soup and a roast pork bun. The bun was delicious but the soup was ok. The pork in my soup was very tough and fatty and i wound up throwing all the meat out. I thought it was going to be shredded pork and I should have just ordered vegetable udon! My friend got the curry noodle soup which had shrimp, pork, chicken, and beef in it. She said the meat in hers was tough as well. The flavor of the broth is good though and the portion is huge for the low price.
Posted by Anonymous on 07/05/2007
After reading the reviews here, I decided to give it a shot for a quick lunch. I ordered the shrimp chow fun. It had a very greasy taste...not clean or fresh. I've had better takeout around the city. Don't believe the outdated reviews or the hype.
Posted by Anonymous on 01/02/2007
Best beef chow fun in town- yes, even better than Chinatown's!
Posted by Midtowner on 09/12/2006
Consistently great food. I've been going here for seven years and have never been disappointed. Can't beat the prices, either.
Posted by Midtowner on 08/30/2006
This place looks like a dump, but the noodle soups and dumplings are very, very good. The prices cannot be beat.

Blogging Toronto: Bahrani Scores!
Ramin Bahrani's latest film, Goodbye Solo, has a more controlled, somewhat predictably linear set-up than his last two films, Chop Shop and Man Push Cart. But I'm not complaining. It's still a sharp, moving work, one that refreshingly operates outside of modern Hollywood cliches. Here are my thoughts at the Jaman blog.

SCRANTON — Police have just released some new surveillance pictures of two recent robberies at the CVS Pharmacy on Moosic Street.
In the video from June 30, you can see a man with a gun who police say demanded medication.
Investigators think he's the same man who robbed the same CVS last year
On July 8, police say the two men seen entering the store held employees at gunpoint and also demanded medication. Police do not believe this robbery is connected with the first two.
If you have any information on the robberies in Lackawanna County you are asked to call Scranton Police at (570) 348-4134.

Recipe by Pillsbury® Crescents
"Here's a casserole classic! The beefy, cheesy filling is topped with flaky crescents."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 pound
lean ground beef
1/4 cup
chopped onion
1 cup
tomato pasta sauce
1 1/2 cups
shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup
sour cream
1 (8 ounce) can
Pillsbury® Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
1/3 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons
butter or margarine, melted
This was good, but if I didn't tweek it, it would have been bland. I added some italian seasoning and red wine to the ground beef as it cooked. I used gouda cheese instead of jack or mozzarella, and asiago instead of parmesan. This brought the flavor up and we really liked it. Be sure to drain the beef well, or it could be watery in the end.
I really needed to add more spices for my family. Garlic, red pepper flakes, seasoned salt and more pasta sauce (used our favorite). Still didn't help very much. No raves, sorry.
59 Ratings
We used a 9 x 13 baking dish. My only problem with this is I want to find a way to put a crust on the bottom. I think adding a bottom crust would be awesome. We kind of jazzed up the meat mixture using: Italian suasage, sliced black olives, chopped pepperoni, a good amount of Italian seasonings and more onion. It was wonderful and if you let your imagination run amuk, the possibilities are endless. I think it would taste great with a Mexican flavor. We will centainly prepare this again and do some serious thinking about alternative ingredients. Someone said it is such a great basic recipe just begging for jazzing up. Great!!
Very easy to make! I added green peppers & mushrooms to the beef/pasta sauce to add a little something extra. I also had a garlic butter spread that I melted & added to the parmesan for the top. This got 6 thumbs up in my house - a rare achievement!
I don't like beef too often, so I used spicy Italian sausage as my meat. I saw a few other people comment that it was bland, but with the spicy Italian sausage, it was flavorful and had a nice kick to it. The sour cream really added a nice, cooling touch. I'd make this again.
i rigged this recipe and is STILL turned out great! (my bf was very impressed) i just used whatever cheese i had in the house, i think it was a mix of mexican, cheddar and fresh parm with the sour cream (had to use some onion soup/sour cream chip dip mixure cuz i didnt have enough reg sour cream). I think next time i make this ill add come green peppers and corn
This is one of those great jumping off recipes. The ingredients did not offer enough for our taste so I tweaked it with good results. I added a couple links of sweet italian sausage to the ground beef. I also added my homemade pizza sauce to richen the pasta sauce. I then added a generous 2 cups of mozzarella and skipped the sour cream because I was out. Sparky said it taste like an upside down pizza. Have fun playing with this.
This was suprisingly very good. I will make this again because this is a great base recipe to tweak. I did add sliced crimini mushrooms and 2 cloves of minced garlic, because, in my mind, Italian screams garlic. Instead of parmesan on the top with the butter, I used grated Reggianito because that's what I had on hand. The variations that you can come up with using this recipe are completely endless. Thank you, Pillsbury...you guys have a winner with this one!
