The "Aggravating" Supervisor Problem | What's an Employee to Do?
by Dawn Lennon - Jul, 2011
There's a lot of talk about "attitude" in the workplace: - "That employee is giving me a lot of 'attitude.'" - "If s/he had a better attitude, the work would get done on time." - "Good performance is about attitude." Our attitude speaks to our disposition and/or our frame of mind. That's the platform we start from when we come to work. Built into our attitudes is our sense of fair play, honesty, respect, and...

How the unemployment rate SHOULD affect you
by Hallie Crawford - Jul, 2011
The WSJ's reporting on the unemployment rate for June and lower amount of jobs added last month: "Bad news for the U.S. economic recovery. New private-sector jobs barely outweighed government job losses, causing the unemployment rate to climb to 9.2 percent from 9.1 percent. It's the third straight month the jobless rate has risen, and unemployment is now at its highest level since December 2010. In total, the economy ad...

Development of Facets, Spirals, and Etch Pits on Copper Crystals by Heating to High Temperatures in High Vacua31(1960); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1735549View Description Hide Description
Single crystal spheres of OFHC and 99.999% copper were heated to temperatures of 950 to 1075° in high vacua. In the case of the OFHC copper, facets parallel to the (111), (110), and (100) planes were formed over relatively large areas centered at the respective poles, and with some of these crystals spiral facets were formed around the (111) pole. When an OFHC crystal was heated in a copper cup, an appreciable number of pits were formed. In the case of the 99.999% copper, facets parallel to the (111) and (100) planes were formed in small areas around the respective poles, and at certain temperatures etch pits were formed. An attempt was made to interpret the difference in the size of the facets formed on the two types of crystals in terms of the influence of impurities on the rates of evaporation. It was proposed that the etch pits formed at dislocations in the crystal, although there was not a one‐to‐one correspondence between pits and dislocations.
Factors Affecting the Ductility and Strength of NaCl Single Crystals Tested in Flexure31(1960); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1735550View Description Hide Description
An experimental investigation has revealed that the initial deformation of NaCl single crystals is anelastic rather than Hookean. This anelastic deformation is manifested by a low slope foot in the load‐deflection curve. The magnitude of the foot is dictated by the pretreatment given the specimen. Treatments which increase or decrease the fresh dislocation density respectively increase or decrease the length of the initial anelastic foot.
The order of increasing ductility and strength with specimen pretreatment was found to be (1) heated at 135°C, (2) as cleaved, (3) coated with silver, (4) heated at 135°C and then water polished, (5) water polished and then coated with silver, (6) water polished, (7) water polished and then heated at 135°C, (8) annealed at 700°C, and (9) annealed at 700°C and then water polished.
The experimental results have been discussed in terms of the role played in deformation and fracture by surface cracks, grown‐in dislocations, and fresh dislocations.
Torsion Induced Recrystallization of Molybdenum and Tungsten Filaments31(1960); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1735551View Description Hide Description
When an optimum amount of permanent twist is introduced in 3‐ to 10‐mil filaments of molybdenum or tungsten,single crystals up to 15 cm in length grow by either the moving gradient or Robinson techniques. About 5 turns per inch for W at 2500°K or for Mo at 1650°K was favorable. Although there is evidence of perfection in the volume of the crystals, the twist leaves a threadlike surface imperfection which remains even after severe heat treatment at evaporation temperatures.
Determination of Magnetization Distribution in Thin Films Using Electron Microscopy31(1960); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1735552View Description Hide Description
Some new developments are reported in the technique of observing magnetization in thin ferromagneticfilms by transmission electron microscopy, and the results of some observations are described that contribute to an understanding of the magnetic character of thin films. Two modes of operation of a microscope are explained, one using projector magnification alone, and one using both objective and projector lenses. The intensity distribution images of the magnetization distribution in a thin film is derived from the Lorentz force acting on an electron passing through the film. The intensity distributions for some simple domain walls are computed and compared in various ways with experimental observations. A magnetization ripple model is proposed and justified to explain an intensity texture observed principally when projector magnification alone is used. The texture is shown to be an orthogonal map of the magnetization of the film, and to be of use in interpreting wall structures. High magnification and resolution wall micrographs are obtained using objective magnification, and a direct measurement of the wall thickness and shape can be made in this way. 180° walls in a Fe‐Ni alloy film of about 200 A thickness are found to have a width of 2δ = 1500 A, using the wall model cot−1θ = −sinhx/δ. The effect of finite resolution on the measurements is discussed. It is shown that the magnetization distribution of a wall can be obtained from the measured intensity distribution by inverting the parametric equation solution for the intensity distribution.
Effect of Electron Irradiation and Subsequent Thermal Treatment on Young's Modulus of Copper31(1960); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1735553View Description Hide Description
Measurements of Young's modulus of copper following high energy electron irradiation and subsequent heat treatment are reported. The modulus is observed to increase following short exposures at −190°C in three separate temperature regions, centered at approximately −45°C, −5°C, and +80°C. These modulus increases are discussed in terms of the various point defects created by the bombarding electrons.
Effect of Specimen Delocalization in Electron Diffraction Studies of Gas Molecules31(1960); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1735554View Description Hide Description
The effect upon a normal electron diffraction pattern of an extraneous uniform distribution of the gaseous specimen is considered quantitatively. It is shown that the delocalization of gas may lead to errors in internuclear distances of several thousandths of an Angstrom unit or more in conventional experiments. Equations are presented for the correction of experimental data.
Experimental Investigation of a High‐Energy Density, High‐Pressure Arc Plasma31(1960); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1735555View Description Hide Description
The underwater spark is utilized to study the fundamental parameters of a plasma at 30 000°K and 10 000 atmos pressure. The 25‐kv spark is obtained by underwater discharge of capacitors having a stored energy of 1800 joules, the inertia of the water providing the confinement necessary to develop high pressures. Phenomena relating to the initiating wire (exploded wire) are discussed. Kerr cell photographs show that spherical structures are formed around both electrodes under certain conditions. A possible explanation is postulated. A detailed energy balance and particle balance are carried out. The results show that the plasma has great capability to store energy in dissociation, excitation, and ionization without a corresponding increase in temperature. The plasma is 30% ionized and the total particle density is about 2×1027 per cubic meter. At this density the plasma radiates a blackbody spectrum. Pressures are obtained by calculation based on the rate of spark channel expansion and the shock properties of water. The plasma is found to have an internal pressure of the same order of magnitude as the external pressure because of interparticle Coulomb forces. Plasma conductivity calculated from equations of Gvosdover and Spitzer and Harm agree very well with the experimental value. The study is basically experimental, with the emphasis in interpretation being placed on reliability of the conclusions rather than on refined accuracy.
Diffusion Coefficients, Solubilities, and Permeabilities for He, Ne, H2, and N2 in Vycor Glass31(1960); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1735556View Description Hide Description
The permeability of a Vycor filter (680 cm2 area and 0.25 mm thick) is given for helium at six temperatures ranging from 299°K to 723°K, for neon and hydrogen at 673°K and 723°K, and for nitrogen at 673°K. The observed values and their temperature dependences are in good agreement with corresponding values for fused quartz reported elsewhere. Values of the diffusion coefficient of these gases in Vycor also were obtained experimentally, enabling calculation of their solubilities. Helium appears to deviate from activated diffusion in Vycor somewhere between 100° and 26°C. Its permeation velocity and diffusion coefficient at 26°C are larger than expected for activated diffusion, while its solubility at 26°C is one‐half its value at 100°C. These changes suggest that some structure sensitive diffusion process begins to dominate the activated or solution process at these lower temperatures. Helium flow rates through the filter as high as 2100 mm Hg (0°C)×cc/hr at a filter temperature of 450°C and a pressure difference of 35 cm Hg (0°C) were observed. On the basis of observed permeation rates for the above gases, it is estimated that the filtered helium has an impurity content of less than 1/50th of its unfiltered value.
Submillimeter Wave Maser31(1960); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1735557View Description Hide Description
It is shown that coherent emission between the levels for Na atoms enclosed in a resonant cavity should occur at a rate greater than in free space where transition probabilities are very low. It is therefore proposed to operate a maser at the submillimeter wavelengths corresponding to these transitions (ν = 5.18×1011sec−1) using a dielectric tube resonator as the cavity. An input and output coupling scheme is discussed.
Propagation of Large Amplitude Waves in Annealed Aluminum31(1960); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1735558View Description Hide Description
An experimental study of large amplitude compression waves in annealedaluminum for the case of constant velocity impact has given a close agreement with the strain rate independent theory of one‐dimensional plastic wave propagation. Radial effects in the first diameter are observed and calculations of Poisson's ratio indicate the presence of relatively large dilatation. Propagation velocities, maximum strain, and energy considerations are in agreement with predictions from the slopes of the static stress‐strain curve. These data were obtained using the author's diffraction grating technique for measuring strain and surface angle.
Growth, Structure, and Properties of Graphite Whiskers31(1960); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1735559View Description Hide Description
Graphitewhiskers have been grown in a dc arc under a pressure of 92 atmospheres of argon and at 3900°K. They are embedded in a solid matrix of graphite which builds up by diffusion of carbon vapor from the positive to the negative electrode. Diameters range from a fraction of a micron to over five microns, with recoverable lengths up to 3 cm. They consist of one or more concentric tubes, each tube being in the form of a scroll, or rolled‐up sheet of graphite layers, extending continuously along the length of the whisker, with the c axis exactly perpendicular to the whisker axis. They exhibit a high degree of flexibility, tensile strengths up to 2000 kg‐mm−2, Young's modulus in excess of 7×1012 dyne‐cm−2, and values of room‐temperature resistivity of around 65 μohm‐cm, which approximates the single crystal value.
Ion Drift in an n‐p Junction31(1960); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1735561View Description Hide Description
If a reverse bias is applied to an n‐pjunction at a sufficiently elevated temperature to give either the donor or the acceptor ions appreciable mobility, the ions will drift in the electric field of the junction to produce an intrinsic semiconductor region between the n and p regions. Such ion drift offers a simple and straightforward method for investigating diffusion constants, as well as chemical interactions within the host lattice which affect this diffusion. Preliminary results indicate its feasibility for measuring the diffusion constant of Li in Si to as low as 10−18 cm2/sec and also for measuring the effect of Li‐oxygen and Li‐acceptor interactions in decreasing the diffusion rate. Intrinsic regions resulting from ion drift have been used to produce diodes with breakdown in excess of 4000 volts from low resistivitysilicon. In addition, they can be used to extend the frequency range of devices by virtue of the decrease in junctioncapacitance associated with such an incorporated intrinsic region. Ion drift has also been used for the fabrication of analog transistors, an early unit having an input impedance of 6 megohms, a power gain of 17 db and a voltage gain of 4.
Diffusion of Boron into Silicon31(1960); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1735562View Description Hide Description
The diffusion of boron into silicon has been investigated over a temperature range of 1050°C to 1350°C using an open‐tube vapor‐solid diffusion technique at atmospheric pressure. A p‐n junction method of measuring the diffused layer was used to determine the diffusion constant. Lower diffusivities and a somewhat lower activation energy, (ΔH=81 kcal) were obtained than those reported previously.
The difference is attributed to variation of diffusivity with surface concentration and is discussed on the basis of field‐aided diffusiontheory.
Rolling Friction of Polymeric Materials. I. Elastomers31(1960); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1735563View Description Hide Description
Coefficients of friction for the rolling of steel balls on butyl, silicone and Neoprene elastomers have been measured in the temperature range of 25 to 100°C. For equivalent amounts of deformation rolling friction is directly proportional to dynamic mechanical losses measured by a rebound method. In addition, the coefficients of friction vary directly with (load)⅓ and inversely with (ball radius)⅔. These results are in agreement with recent theoretical predictions.
The high mechanical losses and rolling friction for the butyl elastomer at 25°C drop sharply on increasing the temperature to 100°C. For the silicone and the Neoprene the losses and the friction decrease only slightly with increase in temperature.
Photoelectronic Analysis of High Resistivity Crystals: (a) GaAs, (b) Sb2S331(1960); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1735564View Description Hide Description
A series of photoelectronic measurements has been used to obtain information about the following basic properties of high resistivity crystals: (1) majority carrier lifetime, (2) band gap, (3) activation energy for dark conductivity, and (4) activation energies and densities of trapping centers for carriers. Such measurements have been made on representative high resistivityn‐type crystals of GaAs and Sb2S3. The results are reported here together because both crystals show evidence for trapping of photoexcited carriers by compensated donor centers of the same type as those which uncompensated give rise to the normal dark conductivity. Additional data on Sb2S3, together with other results on similar crystals, suggest that these same uncompensated donor centers may play an important role in the recombination process.
Thermal Initiation of Explosives31(1960); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1735565View Description Hide Description
Numerical solutions have been obtained for the nonlinear heat conduction equations arising in the theory of thermal explosions. Explosion times are calculated for externally heated spheres, cylinders, and slabs of several explosive materials, and the results are shown to agree with experiment.
Single Crystal Tungstates for Resonance and Emission Studies31(1960); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1735566View Description Hide Description
A number of single crystal tungstates have been prepared for paramagnetic resonance and emission studies. Compositions such as monoclinic MgWO4, ZnWO4, CdWO4, and tetragonal CaWO4, SrWO4, and BaWO4 containing paramagneticions of the transition and rare earth series have been prepared. They were grown by dissolving the constituent oxides into an equimolar mixture of Na2WO4 and WO3 at 1100 to 1250°C and cooling at 2 to 3°C per hour to 700°C.
These crystals offer the advantages of one environment for the paramagneticions present, freedom from strain (hardness equal to that of iron), absence of random ordering effects, minimal effects from nuclear magnetic moments, and chemical stability. Large zero field splitting are observed in the monoclinic crystals, making them of interest for studies at high microwave frequencies. The tetragonal compositions are promising at the lower microwave frequencies and have shown very narrow resonance lines. Line widthṡ as low as 1.5 Mc have been obtained in CaWO4:Mn.
Na0.5Y0.5WO4 crystals, which have the scheelite structure, were also grown. Random ordering effects of monovalent sodium and trivalent yttrium, however, result in a nonhomogeneous electrostatic environment throughout the crystals and hence cause broad paramagnetic resonance lines.
Effect of the Polarity of the III‐V Intermetallic Compounds on Etching31(1960); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1735567View Description Hide Description
For the III‐V intermetallic compounds, the <111> directions are polar axes. The shape of etch pits bounded by crystallographic planes and the presence or absence of pits at dislocations are influenced by the effect of the polar axes on the etch rates. Studies of these effects are reported for several etches on InSb, InAs, GaSb, and GaAs. Correlation of these studies with published x‐ray investigations shows that these etches reveal dislocations and truncated pyramidal pits only on {111} surfaces that are at the group III end of the polar axis. A difference in the shape of the pits on opposite {100} surfaces was found and is explained by means of the polar axes.
Effect of Oxide Layers on the Diffusion of Phosphorus into Silicon31(1960); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1735568View Description Hide Description
The diffusion of phosphorus from the vapor phase into single crystalsilicon has been studied. The experimental data are analyzed in terms of a two‐layer diffusion model, leading to the determination of a diffusion constant for phosphorus in the oxide. The resulting diffusion constant at 1150°C is found to be 2.1×10−15 cm/sec2 with an activation energy of 1.4 ev.
Theory of Fast‐Wave Parametric Amplification31(1960); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1735569View Description Hide Description
A new type of low‐noise beam‐type parametric amplifier has recently been introduced by Adler, Hrbek, and Wade. This device is characterized by its use of the fast‐cyclotron wave for amplification purposes instead of the conventionally used slow space‐charge wave. The fast‐cyclotron wave is selected because it can be made relatively noiseless by appropriate coupling processes. Since the input beam noise is the principal source of noise in beam‐type tubes, a very great reduction in noise figure is obtained. Amplification of the fast‐cyclotron wave is achieved by use of the parametric principle.
An analytical description of the device is presented which includes a discussion of parametric amplification of the fast‐cyclotron wave. A method of coupling to cyclotron waves is investigated, and design procedures for establishing optimum low‐noise characteristics are outlined.

Kevin Durant has the basketball world buzzing again.
This time, though, it's not about what he did on the court.
The Thunder superstar had some not-so-nice things to say about Chris Bosh after Sunday's showdown with the Heat. He called out the Miami big man. He ripped him for being a fake tough guy. He broke one of the few unwritten rules in the NBA — what happens on the court, stays on the court.

About this item
Two vacs in one, for portability and power.
Combining heavy duty cleaning with built-in portability, the Vac 'n' Vac by Shop-Vac® is essentially two vacs in one that share the same 5.5 HP (peak) motor. When a job calls for power and portability, simply detach the 2.5-gal. unit from the 14-gal. base tank and quickly take care of the task. But, if the job is really big, simply lock the smaller unit into the larger tank and go to work. Both units are powered by the motor that is housed in the 2.5-gal. unit.

Perfecting the crosswalk yield
It was a long winter, with drivers mowing down pedestrians throughout the county, so who can blame people for seeking the fine points of crosswalk law? Today's question involves broad, multi-lane intersections. It's followed by a list of the crosswalk violations most frequently seen in traffic court. How much should we yield for pedestrians in a crosswalk? The question: I was headed Southbound on B Street in Santa Rosa, waiting at the light to turn right on Third Street. When the… Read More »

tamil wedding photography
The wedding photographers at ktb bring a modern, relaxed and fresh approach to Tamil wedding photography.
Although we photograph couples of all backgrounds and ages, we often photograph young, professional Asian couples looking for modern wedding photography.
With Tamil weddings, Kim and Samir often start very early in the morning, Kim at the bride's house, Samir at the groom's, so that the full day is photographed with coverage of all the events at both homes and with both families!We photograph Tamil weddings with emphasis on the bride and groom, their emotions and families, and the details of the ceremony and decorations which tell the story of the individual wedding. We love the amazing colours, fruits, flowers and jasmine at Tamil weddings!

Scroll the text on the matrix... without any electronic components!!!
July 17, 2011
Scroll the text without using any controllers or other components on the matrix except the arduino/picaxe and the matrix, and ya dont forget the current limiting resistors!
And by using only 10 pins. In case if your matrix is 5x5. For 6x6 matrix 12 pins and so on...
For refrence look at my posts for scrolling texts
How many internets did I win?
No internets?
Ok, maybe just an internet high five?
What if I refactor the code to look nicer?
Code refactoring
Ok, I posted it
You can check it out here:
So, I went to the electronics shop and instead of buying 25 leds I just got a led matrix. This is not some fancy matrix with integrated controller, just 40 leds in a single package. You still have a pin for each colum and row. Since this is a 5x8 matrix you need 13 pins to control it. Getting it to display and scroll LMR was easy so I went one step further and I wrote a function to scroll any arbitrary text. It is very late here so I will post the details tomorrow.
well I think it is simple
well I think it is simple you do what a shifter would do but with code right?

2 Granny Smith apples; peeled, cored and chopped
1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
2 tablespoons parsley, minced 1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds
4 boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons white wine

Vienna Diplomatic Program
About the Program
Nuts and Bolts
Student Comments
International Organizations in Vienna
About the Program
VDP Contacts:
Robert Pahre (firstname.lastname@example.com, 217-333-2851)
Fall 2012 office hours: Wed. 9-11 am or by appointment.
VDP Application: Please visit the Study Abroad website to complete the online application. The application deadline for the Spring 2013 semester is October 1, 2012.
The Spring Semester Vienna Diplomatic Program (VDP) is designed primarily for students interested in international organizations and diplomacy. Students must have completed two semesters on campus prior to studying abroad. Most participants major in economics, history, and/or political science. Vienna is a United Nations city, and many international organizations have their headquarter there.
Though Vienna is a German-speaking city, no knowledge of German is required. Illinois partner universities offer numerous courses in English. It's relatively easy to live and study in Vienna with English because English generally is the second language of the European Union and many Austrians speak it routinely.
Because students write a major research paper that entails original research, good academic preparation is important. Student preparation will vary with specific interests, but successful students likely will have taken courses in some mix of the following: comparative politics, European history, European politics, the European Union, international economics, international law, international organizations, and international relations. PS 280 and PS 283 are particularly recommended. A GPA of 3.2 or strong evidence of previous research experience is expected.
All students in the VDP will take Political Science 393, "Diplomatic Studies Practicum." Students complete an online module for the course and meet twice in Urbana-Champaign before departure. The pre-departure component includes work with academic material, advising, and program orientation. Students conduct a research paper on a Vienna international organization and submit it by the end of the semester. In addition to PS 393, students are required to take basic German and two approved VDP courses, to be selected in consultation with Professor Pahre. Students can take any electives they desire in addition to these requirements.
The University of Vienna (UV) and Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU) offer many courses in English on topics in international law and diplomacy, international business and economics, as well as on European integration and current relevant issues. (See course descriptions on these UV and WU pages.)
The UV and WU courses in English vary considerably from semester to semester. Spring 2012 offerings in English included Drafting International Agreements, Genetics and Politics in Times of Globalization, Information Society and E-Government, International Civil Procedure, International Diplomacy, International Strategy and Organization and Old and New Cold War: Vietnam and Iraq.
Nuts and bolts
This Spring Semester program begins in Urbana-Champaign with two weeks of Political Science 393, followed by two weeks of orientation in Vienna, and the second Viennese university semester. The second semester in Vienna runs from 1 March to 30 June and includes a two-week Easter break.
Students live in local dormitories with a mix of Austrian and other foreign students.
Students are affiliated with the Austria-Illinois Exchange Program (AIEP), which provides the following support:
- on-campus and on-site orientation
- assistance with travel and travel transfers
- assistance with accommodation arrangements
- on-site academic, bureaucratic, and personal advising
- excursions to several international organizations
- semester-long mentoring with German language and culture
VDP students may participate in AIEP field trips and other social activities.
On-site administration for the program, including housing arrangements and on-site advising, is managed by the AIEP. For more information, please contact Bruce Murray (firstname.lastname@example.com) and/or Robert Jenkins (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Student Comments
The benefits of the VDP came from a number of things. The structure of the program itself was wonderful due to the open-ended classwork schedule. Having the freedom to work on PS 393 on our own time allowed us to get the most out of our time in Europe . . . Vienna was such a beautiful city to spend a semester in and I do not believe I would have had the same experience in another place.
- Joe Benz (participant, Spring 2011)
I teach at the Friendship Academy of Science and Technology. In order to get my spot in Teach for America in Baltimore, I heavily leveraged my time abroad. A big part of interviewing was discussing if we were capable of adapting to new environments and managing time. I was able to discuss the VDP program extensively in this interview.
I am also enrolled in a Masters of Science program at Johns Hopkins University, which I will hopefully be graduating from in May 2013! The program focuses heavily on data, research, and urban education policy. This is where my second thanks is in order, the research skills and advice provided during the VDP process was very helpful. I feel like I came into this masters program more prepared than most because of the experience with VDP. Thanks again!
- Chris Renno (participant, Spring 2010)
Participating in the first semester of the Vienna Diplomatic Program was an amazing experience. This program assumes that students have a high level of motivation, are able to manage their own semester-long research project and are able to represent themselves and their university professionally to diplomats from various international organizations. Throughout the semester, there were many lectures that VDP students were encouraged to attend at the American Embassy, the Renner Institute and the Vienna Diplomatic Academy, just to name a few.
Though a working knowledge of German is not required, I felt personally motivated to learn as much of the language as possible in the semester I spent in Vienna. Now that I have returned to Illinois, I am continuing with my German language studies. Though I feel I gained more linguistic experience just being in a German-speaking country for 5 months than I would have in a classroom setting in the United States, there is still a lot I don't know, and I am looking forward to being able to communicate well in German as well as English and French.
The academic aspect of the VDP was amplified by being in Vienna itself. Just walking through the streets of the city, you are exposed to more history and culture than most people have ever seen. Every district has something exciting to offer -- you just have to figure out what it is. Vienna is an incredibly cosmopolitan city. Just walking down the streets, it's not uncommon to hear dozens of different languages being spoken all around you. The cultural side of Vienna is certainly comparable to if not richer than the lures of places like Paris and Berlin. I heard Vienna once described as the "best city in Europe that no one knows about" and I think this is definitely true. I enjoyed my 5 months so much that I am seriously considering returning to Vienna after graduation.

'I just believe the label I guess'
EUGENE, Ore. - Chloe Beckes and her family are forced to buy whatever they are unable to grow.
So when they go shopping, they look for the organic lable.
But how do you know whether or not something that says its organic really is organic?
"I just believe the label I guess," says Beckes, "hopefully they are telling me the truth."
On a consumer level, that is about as close as most of us will get to knowing for sure.
"It's very critical that there is a trust between consumers and manufacturers," says David Resseguie, Info Systems Coordinator for Sundance Natural Foods, "and at the same time there is a great need for verification.
Resseguie adds that consumers can do their own research. Online medical journals and even blogs make great resources, but at the end of the day there is only so much that can be done.
"You can't spend all your time tracking down every single person you've talked to to make sure they are telling you the truth," says Resseguie," but at the same time you have to keep your intuition open and ready."
So the next time you reach for that product with that 7 letter word on the label, keep in mind you may need to do a little research and have a little faith that it truly is organic.

Meet Eva Sommaripa, a farmer who grows more than 200 kinds of uncommon herbs, greens, and edible "weeds" that are highly coveted by Boston's best chefs.
What makes the harvest from Eva's Garden, her farm in Dartmouth, MA (about an hour's drive south of the city), so special? For one thing, most of her 22 acres are set aside for wild edibles. And on the 2 1/2 acres she actively cultivates, many of the plants she grows are rarely encouraged elsewhere because they're considered weeds or invasive species. But they're also delicious. Eva's organic purslane, juniper berries, lovage, sorrel, stinging nettles, autumn olives, wild roses, Japanese knotweed, cardoon, chervil, chickweed, and wild carrots—to name a few—make their way north to end up on the menus of many Boston restaurants.
Eva is considered a pioneer in the farming world, and not just for her unusual plantings and the quality of her produce. It's also because of her firm commitment to a simple, sustainable life based on the principles of preserving, conserving, salvaging, and bartering. Here's what Eva was growing when I visited her the other day:
Photography by Christine Chitnis for Gardenista.
Above: Grapevines (L) and alliums (R), with Eva's winter greenhouse in the distance.
Eva showed me around the farm, imparting some of her vast and intimate knowledge of the natural world. She knows the taste, season, and growing tendencies of every edible we encountered.
Above: At one stop, she plucked a fistful of bronze fennel and urged me to drop it into my water bottle. "It will give the water a sweet, slightly licorice flavor. Go ahead, try some," she encouraged while popping a bit in her mouth. By the time we'd walked through the entire farm, I had tasted many herbs and weeds that I'd never encountered before.
With her lanky frame, mud-stained jeans, and wind-blown hair, Eva looks younger than her age (she's in her seventies). She credits outdoor work, fresh air, and a diet of farm-fresh whole foods—she visits a grocery store only once or twice a year.
Above: Eva began farming more than 40 years ago in a small kitchen garden. The Dartmouth property she now calls home was her family's weekend cottage back then, an hour's drive from their main residence, in Cambridge. When her garden began producing more herbs than she could use, Eva took the extras back to sell to markets and restaurants in the city. At the time, fresh herbs were hard to find in the Boston area, so Eva's business soon flourished.
Above: Treviso Radicchio, an Italian heirloom variety in Eva's garden.
As interest in her produce grew, so too did Eva's interest in horticulture. She began taking guided walks with foraging expert Russ Cohen, and quickly realized that many of the wild edibles they found were growing as weeds in her own garden. "Once I learned that the weeds I was battling were edible, and incredibly nutritious, I let them grow," Eva says. "To this day, weeds are still an important part of our production. But it's always a balancing act to decide what to leave and what to pull so that they don't choke out the other plantings."
Above: Eva makes room for peonies and other flowers in her organic garden.
Eva takes a seasonal approach to both the growing and preserving of food. Spring finds the forest teeming with wild edibles, and the waking garden putting forth tender shoots. Summer brings a full harvest and bustling sales to restaurants and chefs across the northeast. (Any extra bounty is preserved for the barer months.) In fall, only the heartiest greens survive the dipping temperatures and first frosts. Finally, winter means relying on stored root vegetables, which find harmonizing flavors in juniper berries, a foraged winter treat.
Above: Lunch from the farm. Eva manages to feed her family and her farmhands, and to keep her customers supplied, year-round—not an easy feat in New England's harsh climate.
Above: When her children were young, farming wasn't a full-time venture for Eva. Nowadays, however, the farm seems to run in overdrive, with multiple farmhands on staff, a busy delivery schedule, and a phone that never stops ringing as chefs from Boston and New York place their orders.
I asked Eva to explain the current interest in wild and foraged edibles. She doesn't think it's just their superb nutritional value; she also credits the human love of discovery. "People are fascinated to learn there are things growing right under their feet, whether it's in the city or in the country, that are not only edible, but incredibly tasty and nutritious," she told me. "It's the same joy we get from pulling fresh vegetables from the soil. The thrill of harvesting our own food, whether cultivated or foraged, is one of life's ancient, lasting pleasures."
Above: Purple hollyhocks flourish in Eva's garden.
After my day with Eva, I started to explore the uncultivated areas of my own community garden. I've already maxed out the growing potential in my modest 6-by-9-foot raised bed, so I'm tempted to supplement my production with foraged edibles. And now I feel compelled to examine every weed I pull. In fact, I believe that kind of attention is Eva's wish for all home gardeners. It's doubtful we'll cast aside our lettuce and spinach to snack on knotweed and purslane, but perhaps we'll give those weeds a second thought. And once in a while, we'll sneak a handful onto our dinner plates.

Cagayan mayor slay suspect identified-A A +A
Thursday, April 24, 2014
POLICE identified Thursday one of the suspects in the murder of Gonzaga, Cagayan Mayor Carlito Pentecostes Jr.
Cagayan Valley police director Chief Superintendent Miguel Laurel said David Soriano, alias Ka Colly, was identified through a footage taken by a closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera which was installed in the Gonzaga town hall grounds.
Pentecostes was fatally shot last Monday, April 21, by unidentified armed men when he was about to deliver a speech during the flag raising ceremony at the Gonzaga municipal hall. The suspects fled on board a police vehicle.
Authorities identified Soriano, who is allegedly the commander of the New People's Army Northern Front Committee, as the one wearing a military uniform in the CCTV footage.
Laurel earlier said there is a possibility that members of the NPA were behind the killing. "'Yung mga leaflets na ikinalat nila after ng pamamaril, isa din 'yun sa mga naging basis natin para sabihin na malaki ang chance na NPA ang pumatay kay mayor ngayon nadagdag pa ang CCTV footage, but we will continue to investigate."
The hard drive of the CCTV camera was immediately brought to Manila for decoding and for further investigation. (Sunnex)

DEKALB - The sky was cloudy, but moods were sunny Thursday morning as officials gathered to break ground on a $21 million expansion project that's expected to create 40 permanent jobs at Corning Inc.'s Canton plant.
Speakers credited the project as a public, private partnership that could prompt other companies to invest in the region, they said.
"When you put all those pieces together, its a mosaic. It's a team creating jobs for our region, jobs for our sons and daughters," said Anthony C. Collins, who serves as co-chair of the North Country Regional Economic Development Council. He is also president of Clarskson University, Potsdam.
As officials spoke, bulldozers and cranes worked outside preparing the site for the 30,700-square-foot expansion.
The building will include 23,500 square feet for increased production and a 7,200 square-foot warehouse. The project is expected to create about 70 temporary construction jobs.
A strong workforce and proximity to area colleges were also credited as factors that made the Canton plant a top choice.
An allocation of 2.1 megawatts of low-cost hydropower from New York Power Authority was lauded for playing a crucial role in Corning's decision to invest in its Canton facility. The power is supposed to cost 40 to 50 percent less than wholesale market prices. Since 2012, the company has received 2.2 megawatts of NYPA power in exchange for its commitment to retaining roughly 200 jobs at the Canton plant, McAdoo Road, town of Dekalb.
The project is also supported by $750,000 in tax credits through the Empire State Development Corp. to assist with the job creation project.
"The Canton expansion sends a signal that this area is ready and able to participate fully in a high-growth, tech economy and participate even more fully in the global marketplace," Eugene L. Nicandri, a NYPA trustee from Massena, said. "Corning's investment also makes it clear that Canton and St. Lawrence County is a place where highly-skilled individuals can find employment."
The expansion will allow the factory to increased production of specialized glass products for the U.S. Department of Defense and the aerospace industry.
Curt Weinstein, vice president of Corning's Speciality Materials, said the expansion will allow the company to produce more of an existing product line, but he would not disclose more details about that specific product.
"I can't really say. It's an expansion of a class of products we already make," Mr. Weinstein said. "It's a phased process, and we have already started scaling up."
The Canton plant also produces high-fused silica glass used in the semiconductor industry. The plant supplies microchips for computers, cellphones and other electronics. It has also produced glass for space shuttles,
James H. Brown, project manager for LeChase Construction, Rochester, said crews are in the process of handling concrete and foundation work at the site. Metal for the building is scheduled to be transported to the site in mid to late September. Completion is expected in December.
NYPA President Gil C. Quiniones said he was "thrilled" to be at the Canton plant,where glass is produced for Hubble telescopes, space shuttles and other applications.
"That's just unbelievable. You can't get more high-tech than that," he said. "It's a pleasure to partner with a company that's known as a world leader in speciality glass."

Happy Good Friday, everyone - we hope you're having an indulgent day, now that Lent is over! What else does Good Friday mean? It's the last full week you'll have to wait to check out Skullgirls, the new 2D fighting game on XBLA and PSN. Skullgirls publisher Autumn Games is a Wonacott client, and after a year-long campaign, we think the game is poised to upset the old guard of fighting games with a fresh take on the genre.
I feel like this is a leftover April Fool's joke, but as someone who grew up a die-hard Sega fan, the headline that Sonic the Hedgehog co-creator Hirokazu Yasuhara joined Nintendo is practically impossible for me to comprehend. But the Wii U will be an interesting platform for Yasuhara and Super Mario Bros. creator Shigeru Miyamoto to create on.
"Convergence" and "discovery" are still some of the most frequently used buzzwords in the industry. But in whatever the context you see them, I'm sure it's nothing like the latest partnership between Final Fantasypublisher Square Enix and couture fashion house Prada. The two companies partnered up to create a digital runway for the 2012 Prada men's line. While it's another bold step to bring gaming into mainstream, we think that fashion companies would capitalize on the gaming audience by making tshirts along these lines.
Also, if anyone is looking for a soapbox to present some lessons learned in the video game industry, GDC Online in Austin just opened up its call for speakers.
Find out more news from around the world of digital entertainment in this week's edition of the Online Entertainment Insider, and have a great weekend!

Thomas Dewey
Gangbuster and Near Assassination Victim
Thomas Dewey was a knight in shining armor, the fearless gangbuster who almost took up residence in the White House. In the underworld, Dewey had a different reputation.
In The Last Testament of Lucky Luciano, Luciano portrays Dewey as a man on the take, who demanded and got big bucks as "campaign contributions" to commute Luciano's 30 to 50-year prison term. (Coauthor Richard Hammer, in his introduction, explains that much in the book "is angry, scurrilous, even defamatory.")
Although the same charge was raised by Democrats at election time, no hard proof was ever offered to back up Luciano's claim. However, a thorough analysis of Dewey's record on crime has never been made and his dedicated biographers have had little interest in doing so. This does not mean that the Dewey record is not somewhat troublesome.
It was Dewey's crimefighting prowess that moved him along politically — to the governorship of New York and the Republican candidacy for president in 1944 and 1948. Dewey's career began as a Wall Street lawyer. As a prosecutor of errant industrialists, businessmen and financiers, he showed limited effectiveness. It was against gangsters that Dewey shone. In various enforcement positions — U.S. attorney, special prosecutor, district attorney — he clapped in prison or sent to the electric chair such gangsters as Luciano, Waxey Gordon, Gurrah Shapiro and Louis Lepke.
Before he nailed Luciano, Dewey had targeted Dutch Schultz, the king of Harlem policy rackets and many other illicit enterprises. The Dutchman combined a brilliant criminal mind with the off-the-wall acts of a flake, always fond of solving dilemmas with a gun. When Dewey's men were closing in on his operations, an angry Schultz went before the national board of the crime syndicate to demand that Dewey be knocked off. This was counter to one of the founding rules of the organization, which Luciano later restated, "We wouldn't hit newspaper guys or cops or DA's. We don't want the kind of trouble everybody'd get." Led by the forces of Luciano and Lansky, the crime board voted Schultz down. "I still say he ought to be hit," the mad Dutchman raged in defiance, "and if nobody else is gonna do it, I'm gonna hit him myself."
If at first the mobsters thought Schultz was just letting off steam, they changed their minds in October 1935 when they learned Schultz had an actual murder plan in place. Dewey's Fifth Avenue apartment was staked out by a man who posed each morning as the father of a child pedaling a velocipede. That man watched as Dewey and two bodyguards walked by to a neighborhood drugstore, from where the prosecutor called his office each morning from one of several booths. Dewey feared the mob might tap his home phone.
As the Schultz plan was supposed to work, the "caser" with the child would one morning be in the drugstore with a gun and silencer awaiting Dewey's arrival. He would shoot Dewey as he entered a telephone booth and then walk out past the bodyguards waiting unsuspecting outside. Hurriedly the national board of the syndicate passed a death sentence on Schultz and he was murdered in a chop house in Newark, New Jersey, before he gave final okay to the Dewey rubout.
Dewey did not learn of his "almost assassination" until 1940 when it was revealed to him by Murder, Inc., prosecutor Burton Turkus. His eyes widened when mention was made of the proud papa with the child on the velocipede. After five years he apparently still remembered them.
By that time Dewey had had Luciano sent to prison for 30 to 50 years for compulsory prostitution, the longest sentence ever handed out for such an offense. After World War II, Dewey backed a parole board's recommendation that Luciano be freed, an action for which Dewey was roundly attacked by political opponents. The move, Dewey insisted, was made because of Luciano's aid to the war effort. It may well have been influenced by Luciano's intercession in the Schultz plot. To his dying day Luciano insisted there was another reason — that after considerable negotiations, the mob had contributed $90,000 in small bills to Dewey's campaign fund.
Although it would be unacceptable to give credence to such a source as Luciano without independent evidence to confirm the charge, there were in later years reasons enough to find Dewey's actions unfortunate and troublesome. Luciano's claims that, for instance, a New York police commissioner being on the take can be supported when it is shown that his acts were precisely what the mob wanted. In Dewey's case this was not clear, although some in the underworld view his sending Louis Lepke to the electric chair in 1944 as having a link with the alleged payoff from the mob. At the time the right wing press, especially the Hearst New York Daily Mirror, speculated that Lepke, one of the top-ranking members of the national crime syndicate, tried to save his own life by offering Dewey "material . . . that would make him an unbeatable presidential candidate." The thinly veiled reports inferred that Lepke could deliver to Dewey Sidney Hillman, president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers and President Franklin Roosevelt's most important labor adviser, as the instigator of several crimes including one of murder. In any event, Dewey, after granting Lepke a 48- hour reprieve, did not deal with Lepke and let him go to his death.
Many Dewey sycophants lionized him for that act. Prosecutor Turkus said, "To the credit of Dewey, he did resist and he did reject. He would not do business with Lepke, even with the greatest prize on earth at stake — the presidency of the United States." But had Dewey granted clemency to Lepke, it more than likely would have guaranteed his defeat. If he had gotten Hillman — assuming Lepke could deliver him — the price essentially would have been letting such men as Luciano, Shapiro, Adonis, Costello, Lansky and Anastasia off the hook on murder charges. Indeed, Lepke indicated he would leak no mob information. To let Lepke live for the price of Hillman alone (although Hillman was never directly named) would appear a politically motivated effort to dethrone FDR by nailing his chief labor adviser.
There are other explanations to the incident, especially that Lepke might not have been able to hand Dewey the labor leader because he had no evidence. When Lepke was strapped into the electric chair, it was likely that the biggest sighs of relief came not from Hillman or the White House, but from the ruling board of the crime syndicate. They inherited Lepke's racket empire and none of the headaches he might have given them.
By the early 1950s, Dewey, disappointed at the end of his White House hopes, also exhibited considerable disinterest with his racket-busting past. His actions regarding the Kefauver crime investigation hearings in 1950 and 1951 were disturbing even to Republicans on the committee and in Congress. Dewey refused to appear at the New York City sessions although he said that if given enough advance notice he might offer the senators a few minutes of his valuable time in his private office. The offer made no allowances for the committee's staff or counsel, investigators, court stenographers and so on, and under these circumstances, they declined leaving New York City for Albany. In refusing to appear — a remarkable position for a racketbuster who had constantly hauled witnesses in for questioning and declared an innocent man would want to help official inquiries — Dewey's behavior differed little, many held, from the actions of mobsters thumbing their noses at the U.S. Senate.
The committee wanted to question Dewey about the facts surrounding Luciano's pardon, an action he had never been obliged to answer in an official forum, and also about the wide-open gambling in Saratoga in upstate New York, where evidence indicated the rackets and the fix were operated by Meyer Lansky. From the evidence the committee did hear, Governor Dewey was just about the most uninformed man in the state on gambling in Saratoga. His superintendent of the state police, John A. Gaffney, said it was not his responsibility to do anything about gambling there or pass along information about it to Dewey. However, even deprived of police intelligence, Dewey undoubtedly had to know what was going on in Saratoga, a watering hole for the social set in which Dewey mixed. Yet Dewey's ignorance about gambling was not repeated concerning bailiwicks other than in his own state, if the words of gambling expert John Scarne are to be accepted. Scarne related he once asked Dewey at a Republican rally in the Waldorf Astoria why he had cold-shouldered the committee. Dewey responded, according to Scarne, more or less in the following words: "Scarne, I knew that when I issued that invitation to Kefauver and his four Senate stooges, they would never show up in Albany. They knew that I knew that the Committee members' five states had more political corruption, gambling, casinos, bookies and houses of prostitution than any other five states in the country."
Thus we are left with a governor of New York knowing more about crime and corruption in such states as Tennessee, Maryland, Wisconsin, Wyoming and New Hampshire (of all places) than in his own.
Had the Dewey misadventures ended with Kefauver, his acts still might be construed as nothing more than political competitiveness, even though a number of other governors from both parties — Stevenson of Illinois, Lausche of Ohio and Youngdahl of Minnesota — had eagerly cooperated. By the early 1960s, however, Dewey had become more accommodating than ever about mob gangsters and the way they operated in the new gambling scene. The former racketbuster became a major stockholder in Mary Carter Paints, which somehow just seemed to have an interest in gambling in the Bahamas. And on Grand Bahama the man pulling the strings for Mary Carter Paints (later renamed Resorts International) was none other than Meyer Lansky, who had long before learned how to invest secretly in companies through the wonders of Swiss bank accounts. While this did not disturb Dewey, it appears to have upset reporters for the Wall Street Journal who uncovered the seamy story of political payoffs on the islands and won a Pulitzer Prize for their efforts.
Despite considerable turmoil Mary Carter still went ahead. The casinos that opened were filled with familiar racket faces behind the tables and in the management offices, and the manager of one of the clubs was Lansky's man Eddie Cellini (brother of Dino Cellini who ran Lansky's interests in England).
It was a rather sorry finale for Tom Dewey. "From racketbuster to racketbacker," someone said. It may have been a harsh verdict, but in a field where some behavior is required to match that of Caesar's wife, Dewey could not be said to have won a cigar.
