Activator socks
By kvmalley
from Clearwater, FL
I discovered recently cycling socks are excellent for everyday use. Of all the ones I've bought, these are by far the most comfortable! Great sale price and made in the USA! Oh, and of course very good for cycling in the FL heat and humidity!

Nice pair of socks, but does wear through the toes too easily.
OK if you need a casual use summer sock
By klmmicro
from San Diego, CA
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Bought two pair of these socks to try out on the trail. They are thin, making them a summer sock in colder climates. Also, they are thin and I have not found them to be very durable. While they do wick moisture well, you may find them worn through in short order if you use them daily.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not the best DeFeet
By JRP
from Schenectady NY
I bought a few of these to save a penny or two. The ankles stretched out. The heels wore out faster than usual. I would rather buy the more expensive versions.In DeFeet's defense I do a LOT of running too. They might last longer if you only Bike in them.

A Watertown woman has admitted in federal court that she failed to pay $236,238 in income taxes.
Donna G. Schneeberger, age unavailable, of 229 Clinton St., pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court, Syracuse, to one count of subscribing and filing a false tax return, according to a plea agreement filed Monday with the court.
According to the agreement, Mrs. Schneeberger was responsible for keeping all the books and records for the dental business of her husband, Dr. Gerald J. Schneeberger, between 1999 and 2009. During those years, she prepared the employment taxes, kept the books and did the payroll. She also prepared the businesss tax returns and the couples joint income tax returns, under-reporting the businesss gross receipts, according to the plea agreement.
According to the agreement, the failure to report the full gross receipts resulted in the underpayment of $66,394 in taxes in 2005, $86,484 in 2006 and $83,360 in 2007. She faces a maximum sentence of three years in prison and an order to pay the full amounts due in taxes at sentencing. No sentence date has been set by the court.

Footprint Science - IntroductionNot Translated
How can we all live well and live within the means of one planet?
This is the research question of the 21st century. If we are serious about sustainable development, there is no way around this question. If we do not design ways to live within the means of one planet, sustainability will remain elusive, which creates risks for economies and humanity as a whole. Living within the means of nature is a necessary precondition for sustainability.
National Footprint Accounts measure the ecological resource use and resource capacity of nations over time. Based on approximately 6,000 data points per country per year, the Accounts calculate the Footprints of 232 countries, territories, and regions from 1961 to the present. These accounts provide the core data that is needed for all Ecological Footprint analysis worldwide.
Although these accounts provide the most comprehensive aggregate indicator of human pressure on ecosystems currently available, the National Footprint Accounts are a work in progress.
In 2007, in collaboration with our Partners, we launched the National Accounts Improvement project, an ongoing research and development initiative designed to improve the accuracy, transparency, and applicability of the accounts.
Every two years we release a new edition of the National Footprint Accounts in WWF's Living Planet Report. The most recent report was published in September 2014.
By maintaining and strengthening the National Footprint Accounts and creating global Ecological Footprint Standards, we are ensuring accurate, consistent, and comparable Footprint analyses.

The Marriage Plotby Jeffrey Eugenides
Staff Pick
Addressing the ubiquitous love triangle, The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides is a perfectly executed character study of three college students — Leonard, Madeleine, and Mitchell — who variously are a couple, are not a couple, were a couple, were never a couple, or were almost a couple. Ah, young love! However, absolutely nothing Eugenides writes is frivolous or insubstantial. The painful sucker punch delivered in both Middlesex and The Virgin Suicides is absent in The Marriage Plot, but the book doesn't miss it. The Marriage Plot is long on emotion and so accurately reflects our inner self-talk of angst, love, regret, and need that it feels like reading someone's diary (or maybe our own). Taking on subjects as enormous as mental illness, classism, meaningful work, religious faith, higher education, charity, self-knowledge and the nature of relationships, The Marriage Plot asks the question: Is it sometimes better to not get what you want? Eugenides is a masterful writer who doesn't shy away from uncomfortable emotions, and in his hands everyday issues reveal a deep and complex truth. Once again, the very long wait between his books has definitely been worth it.
Synopses & Reviews
From Powells.com:
Publisher Comments:
"There is no happiness in love, except at the end of an English novel" (Anthony Trollope, Barchester Towers).
The author of two beloved novels, Middlesex (bestselling winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize, with more than 3 million copies sold) and the now-classic The Virgin Suicides (made into a haunting film by Sofia Coppola), is back — with a delicious novel about modern love.
Its the early 1980s — the country is in a deep recession, and life after college is harder than ever. In the cafés on College Hill, the wised-up kids are inhaling Derrida and listening to the Talking Heads. But Madeleine Hanna, dutiful English major, is writing her senior thesis on Jane Austen and George Eliot, purveyors of the marriage plot that lies at the heart of the greatest English novels.
As Madeleine tries to understand why "it became laughable to read writers like Cheever and Updike, who wrote about the suburbia Madeleine and most of her friends had grown up in, in favor of reading the Marquis de Sade, who wrote about deflowering virgins in eighteenth century France, real life, in the form of two very different guys, intervenes. Leonard Bankhead--charismatic loner, college Darwinist, and lost Portland boy — suddenly turns up in a semiotics seminar, and soon Madeleine finds herself in a highly charged erotic and intellectual relationship with him. At the same time, her old "friend Mitchell Grammaticus — whos been reading Christian mysticism and generally acting strange — resurfaces, obsessed with the idea that Madeleine is destined to be his mate.
Over the next year, as the members of the triangle in this amazing, spellbinding novel graduate from college and enter the real world, events force them to reevaluate everything they learned in school. Leonard and Madeleine move to a biologicy laboratory on Cape Cod, but cant escape the secret responsible for Leonards seemingly inexhaustible energy and plunging moods. And Mitchell, traveling around the world to get Madeleine out of his mind, finds himself face-to-face with ultimate questions about the meaning of life, the existence of God, and the true nature of love.
Are the great love stories of the nineteenth century dead? Or can there be a new story, written for today and alive to the realities of feminism, sexual freedom, prenups, and divorce? With devastating wit and an abiding understanding of and affection for his characters, Jeffrey Eugenides revives the motivating energies of the Novel, while creating a story so contemporary and fresh that it reads like the intimate journal of our own lives.
"Eugenides's first novel since 2002's Pulitzer Prize-winning Middlesex so impressively, ambitiously breaks the mold of its predecessor that it calls for the founding of a new prize to recognize its success both as a novel — and as a Jeffrey Eugenides novel. Importantly but unobtrusively set in the early 1980s, this is the tale of Madeleine Hanna, recent Brown University English grad, and her admirer Mitchell Grammaticus, who opts out of Divinity School to walk the earth as an ersatz pilgrim. Madeleine is equally caught up, both with the postmodern vogue (Derrida, Barthes) — conflicting with her love of James, Austen, and Salinger — and with the brilliant Leonard Bankhead, whom she met in semiotics class and whose fits of manic depression jeopardize his suitability as a marriage prospect. Meanwhile, Mitchell winds up in Calcutta working with Mother Teresa's volunteers, still dreaming of Madeleine. In capturing the heady spirit of youthful intellect on the verge, Eugenides revives the coming-of-age novel for a new generation The book's fidelity to its young heroes and to a superb supporting cast of enigmatic professors, feminist theorists, neo-Victorians, and concerned mothers, and all of their evolving investment in ideas and ideals is such that the central argument of the book is also its solution: the old stories may be best after all, but there are always new ways to complicate them. (Oct.)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"With this tightly, immaculately self-contained tale set upon pillars at once imposing and of dollhouse scale, namely, academia ('College wasn't like the real world,' Madeleine notes) and the emotions of the youngest of twentysomethings, Eugenides realizes the novel whose dismantling his characters examine." Booklist (Starred Review)
"A stunning novel — erudite, compassionate and penetrating in its analysis of love relationships...Dazzling work. Eugenides continues to show that he is one of the finest of contemporary novelists." Kirkus (Starred Review)
"This extraordinary, liquidly written evocation of love's mad rush and inevitable failures will feed your mind as you rapidly turn the pages. Highly recommended." Library Journal (Starred Review)
Madeleine Hanna was the dutiful English major who didn't get the memo. While everyone else in the early 1980s was reading Derrida, she was happily absorbed with Jane Austen and George Eliot: purveyors of the marriage plot that lies at the heart of the greatest English novels. Madeleine was the girl who dressed a little too nicely for the taste of her more Bohemian friends, the perfect girlfriend whose college love life, despite her good looks, hadn't lived up to expectations.
But now, in the spring of her senior year, Madeleine has enrolled in a semiotics course "to see what all the fuss is about," and, for reasons that have nothing to do with school, life and literature will never be the same. Not after she falls in love with Leonard Mortoncharismatic loner, college Darwinist, and lost Oregon boywho is possessed of seemingly inexhaustible energy and introduces her to the ecstasies of immediate experience. And certainly not after Mitchell Grammaticusdevotee of Patti Smith and Thomas Mertonresurfaces in her life, obsessed with the idea that Madeleine is destined to be his mate.
The triangle in this amazing and delicious novel about a generation beginning to grow up is age-old, and completely fresh and surprising. With devastating wit, irony, and an abiding understanding of and love for his characters, Jeffrey Eugenides resuscitates the original energies of the novel while creating a story so contemporary that it reads like the intimate journal of our own lives.
The author of two beloved novels, Middlesex (bestselling winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize, with more than 3 million copies sold) and the now classic The Virgin Suicides (made into a haunting film by Sofia Coppola), is backwith a brilliant, funny, and heartbreaking novel about the glories and vicissitudes of young love.
About the Author
Jeffrey Eugenides was born in Detroit and attended Brown and Stanford Universities. His first novel, The Virgin Suicides, was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux to great acclaim in 1993, and was adapted into a film by Sofia Coppola. In 2003, Eugenides received the Pulitzer Prize for his novel Middlesex, which was also a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, and France's Prix Medicis, and was selected for Oprah's Book Club. It has sold more than 3 million copies.

POTSDAM - Lingering questions about the leadership of two north country colleges could be answered early next week.
SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher could make her recommendations for the interim presidencies at SUNY Canton and SUNY Potsdam during the board of trustees meeting Monday and Tuesday in Purchase.
Obviously, we just watch and wait, but definitely the campus has been told that there might be a recommendation for the interim presidency at the next meeting, SUNY Potsdam spokeswoman Alexandra M. Jacobs said.
Earlier this month, potential candidates for each campuss vacancy were revealed. Ms. Zimpher is expected to name former SUNY Fredonia President Dennis L. Hefner to the interim presidency at SUNY Potsdam.
At SUNY Canton, former Provost Jeremy D. Brown was named as a potential recommendation. Mr. Brown, who has kept a home in Canton, recently met with the campuss College Council and administration.
At the time, SUNY officials told both campuses the recommendations would be made next week.
We were told that something might come out of the March board of trustees meeting, but havent heard anything more since, said Gregory E. Kie, SUNY Canton spokesman.
Mr. Hefner would replace John F. Schwaller, who will resign in July after more than seven years leading SUNY Potsdam. Mr. Schwaller has not announced his plans.
Mr. Brown would replace Carli S. Schiffner, who has served as SUNY Cantons interim president since longtime President Joseph L. Kennedy stepped down last year. Ms. Schiffner will take over as vice president of instruction at Wenatchee Valley College, Wenatchee, Wash.
The colleges await permission from Ms. Zimpher to begin their search for a permanent president. Leaders at both schools said permission could come later this year.
Officials at the SUNY chancellors office did not return calls for comment.

CANTON A Potsdam man has been indicted on rape charges in connection with a 2011 case involving a teenage girl he told police had seduced him.
A St. Lawrence County grand jury on Thursday handed up six counts against Gregory E. Brown Jr., 27, of 509 Raquette Road. He stands accused of first-degree rape, third-degree rape, first-degree criminal sexual act, first-degree criminal use of a firearm, second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property.
Brown allegedly had sexual contact with the girl, then 15, from August to October 2011. According to the indictment, those encounters included forcible compulsion during which he displayed a gun.
He was arrested by Potsdam police in December 2011.
According to his written statement to police, Brown met the girls mother through an online dating site and moved from Georgia to the her Potsdam apartment. There, the girl soon started flirting with him, Brown told police, and enticed him into a liaison one night on the couch. I think shes had sex before because she was comfortable with everything, and she knew what she was doing, Brown wrote.
The girl later used the threat of revealing the first incident to initiate two more sexual encounters, he told police. I got home at about 2:30 in the morning and (she) was waiting up, and she said you remember what happened the first time and I said yeah and she said well it was good and I want some more of it, his statement said. I said no, but she said that if I didnt that she would tell her probation officer the next time she saw her that we had sex. So its not like I had a choice the second or third time.
According to the indictment, Brown engaged in forcible intercourse, forcible anal sex and forcible oral sex with the girl, displaying a loaded gun on at least one occasion.
Police said he was in possession of a loaded 9 mm handgun that had been reported stolen from the state of Georgia.
Somebody needed to switch a dirty gun with a clean gun, and I said I knew where a clean gun was, Brown told police. So basically I stole the gun from (a woman in Georgia) to sell to a guy who never showed up to buy it, so I kept it.
Brown was committed to the St. Lawrence County jail when arrested. He was not in the facility Thursday night, and his status could not be verified.

If you search for "New York" rather than "New York Street" or "New York Avenue", all results that have "New York" in their address will be displayed in the results. However, if you search for "New York Avenue", only the addresses that were entered into the MLS with a street address of "New York Avenue" will be returned. Some of your possible results will be missing because some items are entered into the MLS with abbreviations like "New York Ave'. This is true for subdivision names, towns, etc.
If you already know the MLS # of your desired property, only enter the 5 digit number. For example, enter "71324" and not "R71324A" that some websites display.

(The number of meals may change in future installments, depending on the participants, their schedules and other factors.) The execution doesn't have to be the same, or even the recipe, but the overall meals have to be essentially similar.
Snowangel previously appeared in Midwestern Thai. Torakris was previously featured in New Year's Festivities in Japan, A Week of Fun in Japan, and Pocky and the Geisha.
Susan and Kristin will post later today, but in the meantime, here are a few highlights during the upcoming week:
Tuesday, 4 October: based on trips to the farmer's market, or Kris's coop basket. This could be interesting....This will really be a "wing it" night, and suggestions from members will be solicited.
Wednesday, 5 October: dinner on the run. Susan will be doing a soup from her husband's new cookbook, which will be featured in a separate topic.
Thursday, 6 October: Recipes from RecipeGullet. Advice and feedback from members would be greatly appreciated. Some of this may be predicated by trips to the market.
Friday, 7 October: Three recipes from Hot, Sour, Salty, Sweet. As with Thursday's dinner, this will depend on what is available at the market.
Saturday, 8 October: Kristin is going to a festival with her family. Susan's family will celebrate a birthday, and she will smoke brisket, in addition to baking a cake.
Sunday, 9 October: BBQ. Kris and her family are going to friend's for a BBQ, and Susan's family will have a neighbor get-together.
Monday, 10 October: Homemade pasta. Wish our bloggers luck!
As before, we've started the thread a day early so that everyone can orient themselves and get their bearings. In addition to all of the above, they will be blogging their daily eating.
Let the games begin!

It is good to be blogging again.
Just a bit of background for those who have no idea who I am.
I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, one of 8 kids of a first generation Italian mother and a father of German descent. My mother is a very good cook (as is her entire family) and I grew up on up a mix of modern American and traditional Italian with a spattering of German dishes mixed in.
10 years ago I married my my Japanese husband and moved to Yokohama, Japan. This was not the first international marriage in our family and I am definitely not the last. I have an uncle from Mexico, and aunt from Martinique, last year my sister married her French boyfriend and my little brother's (very serious) girlfriend is from Portugal. This all makes for very delicious family get togethers.
Here in Japan, I keep busy with my 3 children: Mia age 9, Julia, age 7 an Hide age 4. I also work part-time teaching English and holding cooking classes in my home.
Now to see if the pictures actually came out...

as you can tell from the photo, the loaf is from the bread machine, a wonderful piece of kitchen equipment I am not ashamed to admit to using.
This is currently one of my favorite breads and the best thing about it is that all 3 kids like it as well. It is very difficult to run across foods that all 3 like...

Married almost 25 years to Paul. Three kids. Diana (15), Heidi (11) and Peter (9). Heidi presents the biggest challenges in terms of food, as she is disabled, so I often appease her with a different meal. The other two kids are hearty and adventurous eaters, and Diana is a most capable sous chef (or chef with me as the sous). Peter is learning to cook.
Yes, all good wishes to both of us on pasta.
And best wishes to both of us with cameras. It's rather intimidating to follow the food born of Percy and Susan!

I have been following these two foodlblogs as well and the photography is stunning, I will warn everyone now:
YOU WILL NOT SEE BEAUTIFUL FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY IN THIS BLOG (at least for Kristin's part...)
You will however, become fluent in "Kristin Language" which is a special language we speak in our house, though it sounds like English the meanings are a little different. For example, if I refer to 'plating' something, it means to actually use a plate/dish/bowl instead of the more common papertowels or in the case of fancier occasions a paper plates.

Except for weekends, Weds, and the days I go out, I make very simple lunches at home for myself. Usually leftovers.
My three kids all eat at school (except on Weds Hide only has a half day and we eat at home together) and I make a lunch for my husband every day.
Tuesday lunch:
The Japanese may have created instant ramen but in my opinion the Koreans have perfected it. I eat mostly Korean instant ramens.
I add to it whatever is in the house, today I sliced up some cabbage and some garlic chives, I also added a raw egg. The final dish:

Yokohama is in Kanagawa Prefecture which isn't really known for its farming and I had a hard time finding really local products in the co-op catalogue this week. So I went with some foods that were as close as I could get but that are also in season.
It is salmon season in Japan, most of the year we get frozen farmed salmon from places like Chile but now we can get Japanese wild salmon so I chose salmon for dinner tonight. Along with some nice fall spinach we have the makings of a nice (and easy) meal. Cream stew!
I like to eat my stew with bread, though the rest of my family likes it with rice. I was craving caraway seeds and didn't feel like working with a yeasted bread so I made an Irish soda bread.
I must admit I have never eaten an Irish soda bread other than the ones I have made so I actually have no idea what they are supposed to taste like. I use the recipe from The Best Recipe (Cook's Illustrated's book) that an Irish friend recommended. I really like their oatmeal and walnut version but today I wanted the caraway one. The recipe actually is for both raisins and caraway but my husband will not eat raisins so I leave them out. I also don't have buttermilk so I used sour milk and I was short on butter so I added some Crisco. As I shaped it and placed it on a baking sheet I gave the recipe one last glance and realized I had forgotten to add the cream of tartar. Oops... oh well.
It came out ok.
The final dish:
cream stew with salmon, onions, potato and spinach
EDITED to fix the pictures....

In Japan it is made with a purchased roux, that looks like this
sort of looks like white chocolate, doesn't it?
The vegetables are sauteed, then water is added and they are simmered until tender. The heat is turned off and the cubes of roux are added and mixed well, it is then brought back to a gentle simmer and after a bit milk is added. I add the salmon and spinach at the very end just before serving.

I have to admit I really don't know where cream stew (also called white stew in Japan) comes from, my mother never made it and the first time I ever ate it was in Japan.
I have always thought that it was a take on chowder.

A sort of sad story...a friend's mother was suffering from dementia (though not the kind caused by Alzheimer's), and when she was still living at home, she would sometimes eat curry roux thinking it was chocolate. Those rouxs look a little too much like chocolate, in my opinion.

I guess I always thought of chowders as seafood, of course I did use salmon...
Chicken seems to be the most common protein in the cream stews of Japan, but I find chicken to be too bland especially in combination with potatoes.

I'm fascinated to see Irish soda bread making the cut in Japan and pleased to see that you have liberated it from the standard "white" and "brown" recipes. Your bread looks great... leaving out the cream of tartar is fine if you have another acid (buttermilk or sour milk).
I'm really looking forward to your blog. I adore Japanese foods and have been a few times (years back), but never to Yokohama.
Since my friend introduced me to the recipe about 2 years ago, I have been making one version or another quite often. It is really a wonderful quick bread that can be thrown together at the last minute, unlike yeasted breads. I really need to learn more about htis bread, I see a new thread in the making!

I have a 15-year-old nephew. He's enthusiastic about engineering and IT in particular. Next summer, his school organises work experience placements, but where he lives - in Somerset - there are few engineering companies of any size, and his school seems unable to help beyond pointing him towards McDonalds or Tesco.
He's asked if he can work with me in London where opportunities, in theory, should abound. But work experience placements for school-age students seem to be brokered solely by local councils. I can't find any organisations (including my own employer) that accept direct applications.
It seems a shame to let his enthusiasm and initiative go to waste, especially as he seems to have a certain amount of talent. Can anybody suggest a route for finding a London-based organisation he can work with for 2-3 weeks or so?
07 November 2012 12:57 PM
I fully understand your problem, but the situation may not be quite as it appears.
Most companies find it very hard to offer work experience, as it does take a reasonable amount of supervision and therefore distracts staff from the paying work. Organisations such as Connexions will promote themselves as the organisers of work experience (because that's how they get funded), and they will certainly do what they can, but they can only work with the companies who are willing to work with them - which tend to be the Tesco's etc who can gaurantee a reasonable number of places.
However, many smaller companies will take on the occasional work experience student as a favour, but do not wish to be seen as doing so otherwise they get inundated. We're pretty typical, we take on maybe 2-3 of these placements per year, but usually because the student is the child of an employee or of a close friend of an employee. I did take on someone unknown last year, but only because he wrote a blisteringly good application letter and was clearly desperately keen to take up engineering.
SO, unfortunately my best advice is to use any contacts you have, certainly these forums, and those of the other institutes, are a good place to try, but also Googling local IT companies and writing can work, expect to get no response to 99 letters but maybe the hundredth will work! He needs to get an excellent personal statement on one side of A4 which shows his interests and where he wants to go - including in particular anythign he has done in engineering or IT which shows a bit of "get up and go" above the ordinary.
You may have problems with a London based placement as the school normally want to visit the placement to check it's going ok, it's best to discuss this with the school.
I've managed to find excellent placements for my children at the same stage - one in marine biology three years ago and one in music later this year. In both cases I ignored the official systems but instead called in favours from aquaintencies in appropriate organisations. The school was delighted as it saved them the hassle of finding places - and they are still able to handle the H&S paperwork.
Good luck!

The work experience week for school kids is a complete farce. In my locality the only options are office work or retail unless you manage to find a placement yourself. To make matters worse all of the kids take their placement at the same time which adds further strain for employers.
I don't think that kids should be forced to have to participate in school work experience placements. There are plenty of opportunities during school holidays.
30 November 2012 10:29 AM
It was the same when I did mine ten years ago - I had the choice of letting the school sort something out but it was obvious that if I wanted to go somewhere useful and interesting to me, I needed to sort it myself.
I think the concept of doing work experience is a good one but it is difficult to make the system perfect I think.
30 November 2012 02:02 PM
Contacting as many employers as possible is the best way forward. If you leave it to the school you will end up with a boring week in a supermarket. My employer takes two school work experience pupils a year, it does put a bit more pressure on us but this year it went really smoothly as we had prepared some stuff for them to do beforehand and they were a nice couple of kids who were really keen to learn. Unfortunately I'm up in Manchester so that would be a bit of a trek for him!

Just found this (released 9th November):
It's staggering how underrated the importance of work experience is. I've seen how school heads, students, and often parents, can become obsessed with grades, exam boards, BTEC vs GCSE, a percentage here, an acronym there. And because the (rather closed) world of education obsesses about this stuff they assume everyone else does too. Of course engineering employers want to see a level of specialist technical knowledge, but equally important (indeed more important for 16 year olds taking the apprentice route) is understanding the world of work, how to work with others, the importance of turning up on time, when to use your own initiative and when to ask for help etc etc etc.
The other side - even more relevent to the Year 10 experience week - is helping students decide what they want to do. Careers advisors, careers fairs, and similar will give a glowing picture, but only spending time in the work environment wil start giving an inkling of "is this somewhere I would feel happy working?".
Getting good exam results shows you can pass exams. Funnily enough, I don't often measure my staff on their ability to pass exams Yes, you need to know that stuff, but it's only part of the picture.
Sorry for rant, I feel better for that...

I have recently joined Parsons Brinckerhoff - based in Manchester. However, I am not sure if it would be of any interest but their Headquarters is in London near to Liverpool Street main line station. They have a variety of business units and so may be able to accomodate something, I know that definately in my office they are keen to help with work experience placements and to encourage pupils into engineering. The website is: http://www.pbworld.com/regional/uk_europe.aspx there is a contact link on that page too.
Hope he manages to find something.

An ex-colleague was summoned to the Headmaster to talk about his son's prospects. He was frank and said that his son had no chance whatever in Academia However the boy had a good pair of hands and talent to match.
He had asked for the meeting because if the matter was left until the end of term then the Lad had no chance amongst the throng of school-leavers. He wanted the Father to withdraw the Lad from school and seek an apprenticeship while the market was still open.
It proved to be the best advice possible; the boy was indeed fortunate in his Headmaster. Fitting qualifications are not necessarily written on bits of paper.

The Montford Delusion
Montford's hero is Steve McIntyre, portrayed as a tireless, selfless, unimpeachable seeker of truth whose only character flaw is that he's just too polite. McIntyre, so the story goes, is looking for answers from only the purest motives but uncovers a web of deceit designed to affirm foregone conclusions whether they're so or not — that humankind is creating dangerous climate change, the likes of which hasn't been seen for at least a thousand or two years. McIntyre and his collaborator Ross McKitrick made it their mission to get rid of anything resembling a hockey stick in the MBH98 (and any other) reconstruction of past temperature.
Principal Components
For instance: one of the proxy series used as far back as the year 1400 was NOAMERPC1, the 1st "principal component" (PC1) used to represent patterns in a series of 70 tree-ring data sets from North America; this proxy series strongly resembles a hockey stick. McIntyre & McKitrick (hereafter called "MM") claimed that the PCA used by MBH98 wasn't valid because they had used a different "centering" convention than is customary. It's customary to subtract the average value from each data series as the first step of computing PCA, but MBH98 had subtracted the average value during the 20th century. When MM applied PCA to the North American tree-ring series but centered the data in the usual way, then retained 2 PC series just as MBH98 had, lo and behold — the hockey-stick-shaped PC wasn't among them! One hockey stick gone.
Or so they claimed. In fact the hockey-stick shaped PC was still there, but it was no longer the strongest PC (PC1), it was now only 4th-strongest (PC4). This raises the question, how many PCs should be included from such an analysis? MBH98 had originally included two PC series from this analysis because that's the number indicated by a standard "selection rule" for PC analysis (read about it here).
MM used the standard centering convention, but applied no selection rule — they just imitated MBH98 by including 2 PC series, and since the hockey stick wasn't one of those 2, that was good enough for them. But applying the standard selection rules to the PCA analysis of MM indicates that you should include five PC series, and the hockey-stick shaped PC is among them (at #4). Whether you use the MBH98 non-standard centering, or standard centering, the hockey-stick shaped PC must still be included in the analysis.
It was also pointed out (by Peter Huybers) that MM hadn't applied "standard" PCA either. They used a standard centering but hadn't normalized the data series. The 2 PC series that were #1 and #2 in the analysis of MBH98 became #2 and #1 with normalized PCA, and both should unquestionably be included by standard selection rules. Again, whether you use MBH non-standard centering, MM standard centering without normalization, or fully "standard" centering and normalization, the hockey-stick shaped PC must still be included in the analysis.
In reply, MM complained that the MBH98 PC1 (the hockey-stick shaped one) wasn't PC1 in the completely standard analysis, that normalization wasn't required for the analysis, and that "Preisendorfer's rule N" (the selection rule used by MBH98) wasn't the "industry standard" MBH claimed it to be. Montford even goes so far as to rattle off a list of potential selection rules referred to in the scientific literature, to give the impression that the MBH98 choice isn't "automatic," but the salient point which emerges from such a list is that MM never used any selection rules — at least, none that are published in the literature.
The truth is that whichever version of PCA you use, the hockey-stick shaped PC is one of the statistically significant patterns. There's a reason for that: the hockey-stick shaped pattern is in the data, and it's not just noise it's signal. Montford's book makes it obvious that MM actually do have a selection rule of their own devising: if it looks like a hockey stick, get rid of it.

Risk Assessment of Long-Haul Truck Drivers
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
International studies have repeatedly documented a substantial prevalence of sexual risk behaviors and high rates of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted infections (STI) ranging from 5%-56% amongst long-distance truck drivers ("truckers") living in diverse international settings including India, Bangladesh, South Africa, China, Laos and Thailand. The prevalence of sexual risk factors and STI/HIV in US drivers is unknown. This proposal will provide both qualitative and quantitative data on HIV risk behaviors by interviewing and testing truckers working for established long-distance trucking firms, the sector which accounts for most of the jobs in the trucking and warehousing industry in the United States. The data obtained from this study will be used to inform the development of an HIV prevention intervention for long-haul truck drivers.
Chlamydia Infections
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis C
Diabetes Mellitus
HIV Infections
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Time Perspective: Cross-Sectional
|Official Title:
|Risk Assessment of Long-Haul Truck Drivers
- The prevalence of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and obesity, HIV, N. gonorrhoeae, and C. trachomatis [ Time Frame: Cross-sectional ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Study Start Date:
|September 2005
|Study Completion Date:
|March 2010
|Primary Completion Date:
|March 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
The study proposed in this R34 application will address the following specific aims:
Specific Aim 1. To perform focus groups and in-depth interviews with long-haul truck drivers to guide development of both a behavioral risk assessment instrument and an acceptable HIV/STI screening protocol for long-haul truckers.
Specific Aim 2. To perform in-depth interviews with trucking industry executives to determine barriers to routine HIV/STI assessment and screening of their employees.
Specific Aim 3. To perform a pilot phase with a subsample of long-haul truck drivers characterized by the following steps: TTM-based "cognitive interviews" (N=5); pilot testing of the survey and biomedical screening protocol (N=15); and a follow-up focus group (N=8)
Specific Aim 4. To assess a sample of (N=300) truck drivers for general health and sexual risk behaviors using the adapted theory-based survey and to determine the prevalence of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and obesity, HIV, N. gonorrhoeae, and C. trachomatis

NEW YORK Finally, a game in which the inconsistent Syracuse offense equally supported the consistent Orange defense.
Playing what SU coach Jim Boeheim termed probably our best all-around offensive game of the season, the No. 5 seeded Orange pulled away in the second half for a 75-63 Big East Conference Tournament second-round win over No. 12 Seton Hall on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden.
The Orange (24-8), advanced to a quarterfinal date at around 2:30 p.m. today against No. 4 Pittsburgh. The Panthers handed SU a 65-55 loss at Pittsburgh on Feb. 5.
Seniors James Southerland and Brandon Triche, both suffering through recent shooting slumps, produced 20 and 17 points, respectively, for the Orange, which shot 56.3 percent from the floor, second best of the entire season.
Southerland made five 3-pointers the first half alone (six overall) to help SU overcome an early 10-point deficit as the Pirates (15-18) shot lights out early on.
Triche then responded the second half, scoring 11 points. Junior C. J. Fair also came to life, scoring 14 of his 16 points in the final 20 minutes as SU recorded its 48th Big East tournament victory.
Our ball movement was great, and we showed great patience, said SU point guard Michael Carter-Williams, who tied the tournament record with 14 assists to just one turnover. The last few games weve been kind of rushing things. Today we were so patient and made the extra pass to get a better shot.
After forging a 34-34 halftime deadlock, which SU coach Jim Boeheim said felt more like a lead, the Orange slowly began executing with precision and pulled away in the second half.
After Seton Hall tied the lead for good at 46-46 on a pair of free throws by Aaron Cosby (22 points), SU kicked the offense into high gear, producing an eventual 19-2 run.
A Fair foul-line jumper, followed by a Southerland 3-pointer and a 10-footer from Fair built the lead to 61-48 with 11 minutes remaining.
Triche then scored seven unanswered points, burying a 3-pointer from the top of the key, followed by a 10-foot fade-away jumper and a 15 footer on the baseline that increased the lead to 61-48.
SU then grew the lead to as much as 17 points (65-48) with five minutes to go.
It seemed like forever since I made a three, said Triche, who actually made his first shot of the game from behind the arc. On that last shot, I finally felt in good rhythm. Our offense was running so smoothly the second half, we all got good looks and knocked them down.
Boeheim indicated that because Seton Hall played so well, it meant we had to really execute on both ends. They were a team we didnt want to play because they pass it so well, they use up a lot of clock and have four legitimate shooters.
The Pirates, who beat South Florida in overtime on Tuesday, made six 3-pointers in the opening 10 minutes to forge a 24-14 lead. When the Orange finally shut down the perimeter game, it mounted a comeback.
Southerland made his fourth and fifth threes of the first half to help cut the deficit to 32-28 with 1:47 left in the first half.
Reserve center Baye Moussa Keita then reeled off three straight points as SU went to the locker room somehow tied.
James kept us in the game the first half when we werent playing that well, Boeheim said. Then Brandon and C. J. really got going. I thought Michael had by far his best floor game of the season.
Coach stressed playing smarter and spreading the floor even better the second half, Southerland said. I tried to stay focused and I was shooting in the flow of the offense. When we spread the floor like that, were pretty tough to defend. I thought our defensive energy was also a lot better the second half as well.
Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard said his club, kind of fell in love with the 3-pointer and didnt look inside enough the second half. Then Syracuse really picked our zone apart. Thats the best Ive seen them move the ball this season.
As for playing a more physical Pittsburgh team today, SU believe its ready for a better performance than in the first meeting.
We let them push us around that game, Triche said. Weve got to be tougher and more aggressive this time. And we have to execute our offense like we did today.
This is something positive to build around, Boeheim said. We werent perfect today, but it was so much better than what has been happening. Hopefully, this will give the kids some confidence against a very good Pittsburgh team.

Richard Fangrad
Richard has been speaking on the creation/evolution issue since 1994 and involved with a creation-oriented ministry in Canada since 1996. The Canadian office of Creation Ministries International began as a room in his home in late 1998. As a speaker, he is known for his easy-to-understand scientific presentations. He was driven to get involved with creation ministry primarily because of the influence that creation materials and resources had on his own faith and his walk with Christ.
Richard's professional training is in electronics. He has worked on advanced communication satellite systems at Com Dev, a world leader in this field. Shortly before working in creation ministry full-time in 1999, he worked at Raytheon Canada and was involved in the early testing phases of the first all-digital radar system. He is now CEO of CMI–Canada and co-host CMI's TV show Creation Magazine Live!

There's something about stepping into a pair of smoking slippers that feels a tad indulgent. Perhaps it's because the supremely comfortable shoes, once favored by leisure-loving dandies, lend themselves well to a louche style. Yet the slippers are also quite refined, offering a borrowed-from-the-boys look without appearing too masculine. Current renditions of this classic shoe come in sumptuous fabrics and are adorned with cool patterns or emblems, so it's no wonder why they're now the footwear of choice for low-fuss stylesetters (Alexa Chung's officially a fan). Continue reading for the picks you should try today.On The Street & Runway
Thanks to their surprising versatility, smoking slippers are a smart addition to your repertoire no matter what your sensibilities. Take Emporio Armani's opulent velvet rendition, made sophisticated with tassels and a short heel, from the F/W 12 show. They're perfect for offering androgynous contrast to a romantic outfit. These shoes also work well with more casual looks, as Alexa Chung demonstrated last month at London Fashion Week. The style savant's Penelope Chilvers Palm Tree Dandy Slippers ($396) added polish--and whimsical flair--to her cardigan and jeans. Ready to step into your own pair of slippers? Check out our selection now!

42 U.S. Code § 6851 - Congressional findings and purpose
prev | next
(a) The Congress finds that—
(1) the fastest, most cost-effective, and most environmentally sound way to prevent future energy shortages in the United States, while reducing the Nation's dependence on imported energy supplies, is to encourage and facilitate, through major programs, the implementation of energy conservation and renewable-resource energy measures with respect to dwelling units, nonresidential buildings, and industrial plants;
(2) current efforts to encourage and facilitate such measures are inadequate as a consequence of—
(A) a lack of adequate and available financing for such measures, particularly with respect to individual consumers and owners of small businesses;
(B) a shortage of reliable and impartial information and advisory services pertaining to practicable energy conservation measures and renewable-resource energy measures and the cost savings that are likely if they are implemented in such units, buildings, and plants; and
(3) major programs of financial incentives and assistance for energy conservation measures and renewable-resource energy measures in dwelling units, nonresidential buildings, and industrial plants would—
(B) cushion the adverse impact of the high price of energy supplies on consumers, particularly elderly and handicapped low-income persons who cannot afford to make the modifications necessary to reduce their residential energy use; and
(4) the primary responsibility for the implementation of such major programs should be lodged with the governments of the States; the diversity of conditions among the various States and regions of the Nation is sufficiently great that a wholly federally administered program would not be as effective as one which is tailored to meet local requirements and to respond to local opportunities; the State should be allowed flexibility within which to fashion such programs, subject to general Federal guidelines and monitoring sufficient to protect the financial investments of consumers and the financial interest of the United States and to insure that the measures undertaken in fact result in significant energy and cost savings which would probably not otherwise occur;
(5) to the extent that direct Federal administration is more economical and efficient, direct Federal financial incentives and assistance should be extended through existing and proven Federal programs rather than through new programs that would necessitate new and separate administrative bureaucracies; and
(6) such programs should be designed and administered to supplement, and not to supplant or in any other way conflict with, State energy conservation programs under part C of title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act [42 U.S.C. 6321 et seq.]; the emergency energy conservation program carried out by community action agencies pursuant to section 2809 (a)(12) [1] of this title; and other forms of assistance and encouragement for energy conservation.
(b) It is, therefore, the purpose of this subchapter to encourage and facilitate the implementation of energy conservation measures and renewable-resource energy measures in dwelling units, nonresidential buildings, and industrial plants, through—
