Book Launch Thursday: Kalifornsky Project – Old Stories and the iPad
On Thursday, we'll launch the Kalifornsky Project – Old Stories and the iPad with a book party. Katherine McNamara has brilliantly captured the stories and thoughts of Peter Kalifornsky, the late Dena'ina Athabaskan writer, and one of the last speakers of his language in Alaska.
Katherine McNamara, a pioneer in bringing books to vivid life online, has captured the stories of Peter Kalifornsky, one of the last native speakers of Alaska's Dena'ina Athabaskan language. In this dazzling series, Katherine highlights Peter's perseverance to honor and restore the indigenous language and culture of an Alaskan community.
Kalfornsky was nearly the last speaker of his oral language and was its first writer; a writer in every sense we know, a man with a literary sensibility, trained as a boy in the old stories. Katherine McNamara was his secretary; he told her the "back story." With skilled co-workers, she is installing his great body of knowledge on the iPad, four volumes of From the First Beginning, When the Animals Were Talking.
Please do join us for a demonstration of From the First Beginning on the iPad, sweet-and-savories, and refreshing drink.

American Field Brings Largest Pop-Up Market of Made-in-America Brands to DC
WASHINGTON DC (July 2015) – Shop Georgetown Park October 17 and 18 and meet the people behind America's most popular #madeinamerica brands. Uniting the top American innovators, American Field puts a spotlight on authentic, high quality products and connects these labels directly with the consumer. Founded by entrepreneur Mark Bollman and partnering with leading real estate management and investment firm Jamestown, the event will take place at Georgetown Park, a local icon situated between Georgetown's two "Main Streets" and the historic C & O Canal in the heart of Washington, D.C.
American Field aims to create a direct connection between the consumer and Made in USA brands. By introducing shoppers to the importance of buying quality, long-lasting products, the pop-up market supports the growth of independent, American-made labels. Participating brands include Ball and Buck, Narragansett, Randolph Eyewear, and Rancourt Co, Bailey Hats and General Knot among many more. Showcasing everything from farm-to-table food to high-end menswear, American Field is a destination for all shoppers looking for the real thing.
"America's success depends on our continued ability to make products on American Soil. Bringing American Field to the doorstep of US policy making is the perfect way to highlight the vendors' shared passion for innovation and manufacturing to our nation's leaders," says Mark Bollman.
American Field will be held at Georgetown Park (3222 M Street) at the corner of M. Street & Potomac, on Saturday, October 17 and Sunday, October 18 from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. For more information:
Gentrification & Dating

Brookland Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon at Catholic University!
Join us at Mullen Library on September 16th for CUA's first Wikipedia Edit-a-thon! In conjunction with the Know Your Campus guided tour taking place later that evening (which you should totally hang around for), the library will be opening its doors to students and the wider community to usher in the Fall semester, eat some food, get to know one another, and get to know our neighborhood. The subject matter – Brookland; the experts – you!
So what exactly is an edit-a-thon? In short, it's an event where a group of people get together with the goal of editing Wikipedia content for a specific topic in a short space of time. We want to improve content related to Brookland, and will be adding articles about landmarks and famous residents, copyediting existing pages, inserting links to other Wikipedia pages, and adding and checking citations to ensure that information is reliably sourced. The point is, though, that we all have something unique to contribute.
Never edited before? Never even thought about checking the sources on that article you cited for a paper? Don't understand why citing Wikipedia is probably not a great idea in the first place, but is a good place to start your research? A representative from Wikimedia DC will be on hand to answer questions, provide training, and help get you started.
So sign up, grab your laptop, stop by the FYE room (2nd floor) between 11 am and 3 pm, and see what the fuss is about.
Like to sing? Free on Tuesday nights?
Hi Popville!
We are Runnymede Singers, a small, non-religious, chorus of amateurs who love to sing. We have a range of music skills from sight-readers to shower singers and a range of ages from student loans to AARP. We don't require auditions. Our rehearsals are held on Tuesday nights from 6:50 to 8:50 p.m. at First Baptist Church, 16th & O Streets NW. (We are not part of the church. They rent a rehearsal room to us.) First rehearsal is September 8th!
We work on a wide variety of music and perform about 3-5 times during our fall and spring semesters. In the fall, we typically work on seasonal pieces for performances in December. In the spring, we might sing anything from Italian madrigals and classical pieces to Gershwin, Berlin, show tunes, spirituals and rock. Each semester, we also want to make a difference in our community, so we perform at retirement or nursing homes.
Because we do not sell tickets to our performances, members contribute as we are able to cover the costs for the pianist, the rehearsal room, new music, etc. The average cost is about $150 per semester. But please don't let this stop you from joining us though — some pay more than others, some less. We don't want anyone to stay away because they cannot pay the whole amount.
Visit our Facebook group at this website: https://www.facebook.com/RunnymedeSingers
You may contact our music director with any questions – her name is Erica and you may email her through our Faceook page or at email@example.com

Nagpur railway station to be developed into world class terminal: Experts
Top Stories

A two-member expert team from Belgium has evinced keen interest in further developing the Nagpur railway station into a world-class terminal.
After visiting Nagpur station, the team has agreed to draft a master plan to be prepared within six months.
Technical director Marc De Vreese and architect Eric Kellens of Euro Station, a Belgian government-owned company, who have extensive expertise in transforming historical railway stations into modern international terminals, said there was enough scope for developing Nagpur into a world-class stoppage.
Indian Railways had on August 12, 2012, signed an agreement with Belgium to modernize and re-develop some of the country's railway stations, Divisional Railway Manager of Nagpur division (CR), Brijesh Dixit told PTI.
The Belgium team was in the city as part of its commitment to explore possibilities to redevelop Nagpur, which is among 50 stations designated to be developed across the world.
Dixit said the same team had transformed historic Antwerp station in Belgium, which was facing demolition. The team was impressed to note that how 125 trains and 60,000 passengers were handled by the administration daily with limited resources.
The team visited the base kitchen, retiring rooms, lobby etc and were positive about the scope for development. It also looked into the possibilities of easing congestion and create better mobility. The station re-development will include technical modifications, Vreese said.
The station building which has completed 83 years is a heritage structure and utmost care will be taken to develop it without damaging its original fabric, he added.
"Nagpur in Central Railway which connects north-south and east-west, is the pilot project to start with. Things will begin with master planning, followed by technical feasibility," Vreese said.
"By November this year, all ground work will be done by steering and working groups of experts to determine and define scope and modalities of activities and projects. Things will be finalized during the Belgium Prince's visit to India in November," he said.

Hard Boiled (or Steamed) Fresh Eggs
You've probably heard hundreds of times how fresh eggs are difficult to peel when hard boiled. The key to easy peel fresh eggs is to steam the eggs instead of boiling. I've tried pretty much every method out there like salt and/or baking soda in the water and Julia Child's method, which is quite involved. Then I read about steaming eggs, I tried it and it worked perfectly.
All you need to do it set up your steamer, get the water boiling, add eggs, and cook for 8-12 minutes depending on the size of the eggs and how you want the yolks cooked. Remove from the steamer and plunge into ice water. They eggs should peel like a dream. These eggs were only two days old when I cooked them.
Now the the only difficulty you'll find after boiling eggs is trying to figure out what to stuff them with. On this occasion I used avocado and lime juice and sprinkled the tops with chipotle powder. Curried deviled eggs are also fabulous. There's a jar of pickled beet juice in the fridge just waiting for hard boiled eggs as well. I love having deviled eggs in the fridge for quick healthy breakfast or snacks. Nothing beats the incredible edible egg!!!

Homegrown Goodness
The other day I noticed that I have oodles of winter squash still sitting in the pantry. I hit my cookbooks and the internet for recipes and came across loads with squash and sausage – perfect! Last night I made butternut squash puree topped with sausage and onions. It was quite tasty, though we both agreed that it needed something texture wise, perhaps sage croutons or something crispy.
I always grow loads of winter squash, mostly because it's so easy to store. As long as you cure them properly they will keep for almost a year in a cool room (some will keep for more, I've had squash last for 2 years before). It's awfully nice to lessen the preservation chores come autumn, no canning/cutting/blanching/freezing needed for winter squash!
I also have a recipe for butternut squash and sausage frittata that sounds wonderful, along with various soups and other goodies. I think next week I might make shepherd's pie with squash puree on top.
My favorite use for squash is in this Butternut Squash and Chipotle Soup. I try other recipes and keep coming back to this one when I have squash on hand. That doesn't stop me from trying to find a new favorite, I'm always happy to find new flavor combinations.

Some Like it HOT
My dad was recently in Thailand for two weeks and when he asked me if I'd like him to bring something back for me I immediately said "RED CURRY"! I love.love.love red curry, it's one of my favorite flavors.
He got me tons of it in a few different flavors. As you can imagine, I'm ridiculously excited to try it. In fact I may to drive to the lobster pound to get a few pounds of clams just to try it. Clams with red curry is one of my favorites! Here is a great recipe if you're interested. I'm interested to see how this curry is different from the curry I'm used to buying here in the US, no doubt it's going to be AMAZING, and hopefully a lot hotter than the curry I get here.

Friday Favorite: Toasted Spices
One of the things I love about making ethnic food is the toasting of the spices. After doing this for the first time many years ago I've been toasting spices every since. It really helps bring out the flavors from dried spices.
Last night I found myself toasting these fragrant spices to make duck pho and it reminded me how much I love them. If you've never given this a shot I'd highly recommend it! All you need is a hot dry skillet, I use cast iron of course. Add the spices and shake the skillet for 30 seconds or a minute and that's it. You're finished, your spices will be fragrant and the flavors will be enhanced. I guarantee you'll take the time to do this from now on.

Freezer Soup
I'm a cook from scratch kind of person and I really hate producing food container waste. Thus I have all sorts of wide mouth pint mason jars in my freezer filled with all varieties of ingredients. When I'm cooking I often double or triple a recipe and freeze some. I do the same when preparing individual ingredients. Thus I can make a pot of delicious soup with ingredients from my freezer is only an hour and it will taste like it has been simmering all day!
Yesterday was the perfect soup day, but I was busy running errands and working until about four. No problem, I went to the basement freezer and came upstairs with: chorizo, black beans, red beans, green peppers, sweet corn, chicken stock, and spinach. I pulled onions, carrots, and garlic from the pantry along with a few spices and a soup was born. I love using wide mouth half pint mason jars for freezing because with only a minute or two submerged in warm water the contents will come out quite easily. They defrost quickly in a pan on the stove and are the ultimate homemade convenience food.
In about 30 minutes I had a delicious pot of soup, a big one to eat on all week for lunches. Some of it will probably end up back in wide mouth jars and in the freezer for when we need a bowl of soup in minutes. Best of all, it's healthy, mostly homegrown, and best of all there was not one can or package that had to be thrown away!

Traditional healers of Indonesia weren't messing around when they pinpointed candlenut oil as a cure for severely dry skin. The centuries-old balm is rich in fatty acids, which makes it a great natural hydrator and all-around skin-smoother. It's velvety formula, inspired by venerable Balinese recipes, penetrates deep into dry, rough skin for instant, nongreasy softness that lasts and lasts.
Trying new body creams is essential. Sometimes you want them to just melt into your skin and this product does that exactly. Along with the light yet summery scent, it really makes you feel pampered. I love that most of the ingredients are all natural and I felt good about what I was putting on to my body.4
I really like this lotion! I sampled it in the Skin Quenchers collection, and was impressed by the sample size. It smells great (it actually reminds me of Caress body wash...which isn't a bad thing), but what I really love is the texture. It has a whipped, almost fluffy consistency that melts right into the skin and feels wonderful! I probably wouldn't buy the full size due to the hefty price tag, but it's a wonderful little splurge!5

A teenager has found photographic success using the most unlikely of models - bugs he found lying around his parents' house.

The 19-year-old amateur photographer uses a special macro lens to capture the tiniest of details, many invisible to the human eye.

The 19-year-old amateur photographer uses a macro lens to capture the smallest of details invisible to the human eye, like the mesmerising eyes of this jumping spider
After rounding up dead insects such as this moths from every corner of his parents' home in Halewood, Liverpool, Francis sets them up in his insect studio
After rounding up dead spiders, flies and beetles from every corner of his parents' home in Halewood, Liverpool, Mr Prior sets them up in his insect studio.
He takes the detailed shots of the insects using his Canon 550D digital SLR camera.
Using homemade photographic equipment he created from household objects, he sets about painstakingly capturing every micrometre of the insects on camera.
Mr Prior has devised a way of fixing the insect just 0.1 milimetre from his camera lens.
The incredible images can feature up to 100 shots layered on top of one another, and each one takes up to six hours to produce.
They can be magnified 40 times before losing any picture quality.

The incredible images can feature up to 100 shots layered on top of one another. A Horsefly is pictured
The photographs, such as this one of a moth, can take six hours to produce
Mr Prior, a biology student at Aberystwyth University in Wales, said: 'Two years ago I bought a digital SLR camera and was keen to learn how to use it properly.
'I came across other people doing macro photography and I was just blown away.
'I spent months researching the technique but because I was on such a tight budget I decided to build my own equipment.'
Francis Prior is fascinated by tony details of insects. Right is a photo of midgy flies wings at twenty times magnification and left, a drone fly's eye at the same magnification
Details of a dance fly (left) and green speckled bush cricket (right) in all their technicolour glory
His decision to photograph insects is born from his love of nature as a child.
He said: 'Sometimes I go looking outside for insects to be models but often I just look around the house for spiders and flies.
'I have always appreciated nature and when I was younger I wanted to be a vet.
'Nature is beautiful but there are so many amazing things that you can't see with your own eyes.
'By taking time to come face to face with a spider as it gazes up at you with its eight wondrous eyes, you can only wonder what else there is to see past our limit of vision.
These macro images unlock a whole new world that you wouldn't otherwise be able to see, said Francis Prior. Pictured is a millipede
Macro camera lenses allow photographers to capture every tiny hair, as seen on this hoverfly
Mr Prior said: 'The best bit is sitting back and appreciating the image and studying the detail.' Pictured is a wasp
'These macro images unlock a whole new world that you wouldn't otherwise be able to see.
'Each photo can take around six hours to set up and shoot but the end result makes it all worthwhile.
'The best bit is sitting back and appreciating the image and studying the detail.
'I don't do this for money - I just do it to show people how amazing nature can be.'
This is the head of an shield bug. Mr prior takes his photos to show how amazing nature is

I'm trying to draw translucent polygons using GLKit, but with no luck. So I was wondering if it's even possible to have translucent polygons in GLKit in the first place, since I know it's not supported in the standard implementation of OpenGL; but can be mimicked using custom shaders. But since GLKit compiles it's own shader, I need to know if I should continue to use GLKit or use my own custom shader. My code is below:
// setup states
glBlendFuncSeparate(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
self.effect.texture2d0.enabled = GL_FALSE;
self.effect.colorMaterialEnabled = GL_TRUE;
self.effect.transform.modelviewMatrix = self.modelMatrix;
[self.effect prepareToDraw];
// draw triangles
glVertexAttribPointer(GLKVertexAttribPosition, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(LineVertex), &_vertices[0].pos);
glVertexAttribPointer(GLKVertexAttribColor, 4, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(LineVertex), &_vertices[0].color);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, _vertexCount);
Thanks in advance.

I have already condemned Hamas' Charter. It has to be re-written.<quoted text>
You keep making the error that the Gazans want peace,
I posted elements of the Hamas charter - they dont want peace, they want eradication of Israel
How can you you continue to make that error?
There is no equivalence betwen the Israeli position and Hamas
Please respond directly to this
You cannot say that Ghazans do not want peace. Who doesn't want peace?
I have also told you about the mentality and the mindset of Israelis (excluding the natives) and their leaders, who are full of hate without a written charter and do not want to establish peace.

I've recently stayed at this hotel for a trade show in Santa Clara. There are currently works going on at the hotel but nothing that actually disturbs you during the day at all.
The room was clean, well laid out and you had a good amount of extras in the room. Some hotels you have to ask for an iron and ironing board but this was in the wardrobe, they had a safe, fridge and coffee machine in the room.
Lots of big fluffy pillows and fluffy towels in the bathroom.
We had one day of no hot water but once reported it was fixed whilst we had breakfast. I would go back to this hotel again.
This was booked through hotwire so we didn't pay full price for this hotel and if I went back again i'd book through hotwire rather then the hotel as it can be a little pricy.

According to Dr. Ted Smith, Chief of Economic Growth and Innovation for the City of Louisville and a member of the NSBRI Industry Forum Steering Council, the program helps open up new thinking in a way that will benefit tax-payers. "The SMARTCAP program harnesses the creative energy in innovators and entrepreneurs out there that would never respond to a life sciences procurement opportunity," remarked Smith. "Essentially, the SMARTCAP and SMARTCAP-Accel programs are crowd-sourced problem solving, and that is probably the most tax-efficient thing we can do to generate effective, innovative solutions." He added, "Accelerators have become a major pathway for entrepreneurs to obtain capital and mentorship. These accelerators see hundreds of applications each cycle, and vet the opportunities - and NSBRI benefits from that pipeline of entrepreneurial refinement."
Successful SMARTCAP-Accel applications will be aimed at developing products that can better safeguard the health of humans working in space, as well as fulfill unmet medical needs on Earth.
The constraints on health care in space are similar to those experienced in remote or under-resourced regions on Earth. Technology solutions must be largely non-invasive, user-friendly for non-expert operators, compact, lightweight, and consume minim

Questions? Call us: 888-882-2367
Product Warranty:
Customer Service
Product FAQ
We want you to be happy! All Violife products come with a 30-day money back guarantee!
UV Sanitizers:
Do I need to use a special toothbrush to use Violife UV sanitizers?
Nope! Just about every manual toothbrush and electric brush-head fit great in our sanitizers (See the question below for more info on electric brush-heads). Very large manual toothbrushes, like Radius brand and large denture brushes will not fit.
Will my electric toothbrush fit in your sanitizers?
Yes! All Violife countertop sanitizers, including the Zapi Luxe, work with all electric toothbrush brush-heads, including Sonicare, Oral-B, and other brands.
Our travel models, the Violife Personal/Travel Sanitizer, iZap, and Duo work with small electric heads like those from Oral-B and newer-model Sonicare heads. Older Sonicare heads with a large semi-spherical base are too large to fit into our travel sanitizers.
How often do I need to replace the UV Bulb on my Countertop UV Sanitizer (VIO100)?
For almost all our products, never! Only the Original
Countertop UV Sanitizer (Model VIO100)
has a special UV bulb that needs to be replaced every 12-18 months depending on how often you use it. This ensures the maximum level of germ-eliminating power.
All of our other Violife products use a LIFETIME bulb!
These bulbs are similar to long-lasting fluorescent lights, which is why they last so long, especially since your sanitizer is only used for several minutes each day.
Where can I get new bulbs for my Violife VIO100 Countertop Sanitizer?
Our special UV bulbs are conveniently available
. Some of our web resellers and catalogs also carry our replacement bulbs.
How do I clean my Sanitizer?
Below are some quick tips. For detailed instruction manuals on all of our products, visit the product page on this website to download a copy to your computer.
Violife ZAPI or ZAPI LUXE
: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. To clean the interior drip cup, hold the bottom of the Zapi/Zapi Luxe firmly in one hand, and with your other hand squeeze and lift the top cap up and off. If you have trouble removing the cap, use a coin to gently pry the cap off at the seam around the center of the Zapi/Zapi Luxe. Remove the drip tray and use warm water and mild soap to rinse the tray clean, then re-assemble.
Violife Countertop UV Sanitizer (VIO100):
Always disconnect the AC outlet from the wall before cleaning! Use a damp cloth for the outside surfaces. The removable drip cup inside the Violife can be thoroughly washed in soapy water to remove any residue from your toothbrush. Replacement drip cups are also available
Violife Personal/Travel UV Sanitizer (VIO200):
Wipe the outside and inside surfaces with a damp cloth. Remove the drip tray and rinse with soapy water.
Violife Dental Spa:
Wipe the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. The interior cup and tray can be removed and thoroughly washed with warm, soapy water.
All of the sanitizers use our germicidal UV technology to kill 99.9% of germs on your toothbrush.

(March 22, 2010)--The UTSA Office of Student Life announces Earlene Gonzales has been named director of the Child Development Center (CDC). Gonzales joins UTSA with more than 20 years of relevant experience including serving the last 12 years as the director of the Early Childhood Center at San Antonio College.
"We are very fortunate to have someone of Earlene's caliber stepping into this position," said Kevin Price, associate vice president for student life and dean of students. "I am confident that Earlene will be able to build on the strong foundation we already have at the CDC."
Gonzales holds a master's degree in early childhood education and has served in numerous positions in professional organizations including president of the San Antonio Association for the Education of Young Children.
Gonzales is filling the vacancy created by Luretta Filberth's recent retirement. During her five-year tenure, Filberth oversaw the Child Development Center becoming accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Likewise, during her time at San Antonio College, Gonzales provided the leadership that led to their Early Childhood Center receiving NAEYC accreditation.
"I am so pleased to be here at the UTSA Child Development Center," said Gonzales. "We will continue to build on what Luretta and the team have accomplished. I am committed to providing the best early childhood education for all the children in a nurturing environment where they can grow and develop to their full potential."
The UTSA College of Architecture, Construction and Planning, in partnership with AIA San Antonio's Latinos in Architecture, presents architect Andrés Jaque, founder of the Office for Political Innovation, an architectural practice dually based in New York and Madrid.

As touch screens and e-books demand more and more attention from both casual readers and scholars, many people say the handwriting is on the wall for the printed page.
At UTSA, the handwriting is on the wall for a library that doesn't have any printed books.
Since March 2010, the bookless library in the Applied Engineering and Technology Building has given UTSA students an innovative way to read, research and work with each other to solve problems.
With ultra-modern furniture and a décor featuring desktop computers, scanners and LCD screens, the AET Library is designed to engage students in an online format. But it also offers group study niches and study rooms with whiteboards and glass walls on which students can write. The space encourages teamwork, communications and problem solving for the next generation of scientists and professional engineers.
Did you know? The UTSA AET Library is the nation's first completely bookless library on a college or university campus. It served as a model for Bexar County's first-in-the-nation public bookless library system and one of its branches, the Dr. Ricardo Romo BiblioTech.
The University of Texas at San Antonio is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge through research and discovery, teaching and learning, community engagement and public service. As an institution of access and excellence, UTSA embraces multicultural traditions and serves as a center for intellectual and creative resources as well as a catalyst for socioeconomic development and the commercialization of intellectual property - for Texas, the nation and the world.
To be a premier public research university, providing access to educational excellence and preparing citizen leaders for the global environment.
We encourage an environment of dialogue and discovery, where integrity, excellence, inclusiveness, respect, collaboration and innovation are fostered.

Lincoln Completes First Year in RCOH
Story Number: NNS140328-08Release Date: 3/28/2014 12:01:00 PM
By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Rusty Pang, USS Abraham Lincoln Public Affairs
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (NNS) -- March 28, 2014 marks the end of the first year in the refueling complex overhaul (RCOH) for the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) at Newport News Shipyard in Newport News, Va.
According to a 2002 study by the Research and Development National Defense Institute, "The midlife RCOH of a nuclear aircraft carrier may be the most challenging engineering and industrial task undertaken anywhere."
Getting Lincoln back in the fight on time and below budget is a long, complicated process with many moving parts, but the more than 2,500 Sailors, 3,000 shipyard workers and contractors have stepped up to the challenge, according to the ship's commanding officer.
"Everywhere around the ship, you can see progress being made," said Capt. Karl Thomas, Lincoln's commanding officer. "It's easy to see and hear this progress all around us when we walk the deck plates."
Lincoln has many teams of Sailors, shipyard workers and contractors driving the success of the first phase of RCOH, commonly known as the "rip-out" stage.
One of these teams, the decking team, removed more than 300,000 square feet of tile from the ship, the equivalent of Lincoln's 4.5 acre flight deck. This effort saved an estimated $3.5 million for taxpayers.
Another initative to save the Navy money includes the refurbishment instead of replacement of the ship's components. According to Chief Cryptological Technician (Maintenance) Timothy Nerbonne, approximately 40 percent of the water-tight doors and scuttles can be fixed at our light industrial facility (LIFAC). At LIFAC, the doors undergo cleaning, paint and rust removal, and powder coat painting before they return to the ship.
Other areas of accomplishment since Lincoln started RCOH include: the reinstallation of the long range air search radar tower, completion of the port and starboard rudder stock repairs, the refurbishment of 230 of 399 water-tight doors tied to undocking, and the blasting and priming of the hull of the ship below the water line.
Each accomplishment would not be possible without both personnel and safety. From ensuring watchstanders are present to put out potential fires during welding, to powering down electrical equipment during maintenance - every step is accomplished effectively and safely by the integrated team of Sailors, shipyard workers and contractors.
The next 12 months will be a transition from the "rip-out" phase to the "rebuilding" phase of RCOH. 2014 is important for the ship because Lincoln's personnel will begin to take back owenership of their spaces, and seeing the ship come back together and looking like it's supposed to is good for morale, said Thomas.
"The shipyard workers and Sailors should be very proud of what they have accomplished thus far," said Thomas. "I know that I am very proud to see how far we've come in one year."
Lincoln is currently undergoing RCOH at Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries.
Lincoln is the fifth ship of the Nimitz class to undergo an RCOH, a major life-cycle milestone. Once RCOH is complete, Lincoln will be one of the most modern and technologically advanced Nimitz-class aircraft carriers in the fleet and will continue to be a vital part of the nation's defense.

online phone
Online phones use packet-switched VoIP, or Internet telephony to transmit telephone calls over the Internet as opposed to the circuit-switched telephony used by the traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The advantage to online phone calls is that unlike regular long-distance calls, online phone calls are free -- there's no fees beyond the cost of your Internet access.
An online phone can either be a physical telephone with built-in IP technology and an RJ-45 Ethernet connector instead of the RJ-11 phone connector found in standard phones or it can be a VoIP-capable computer that has audio support and a microphone for making and receiving calls. As a result, Internet phone calls can work as Internet phone-to-phone, Internet phone-to-PC, PC-to-PC or PC-to-phone calls.
See "The Difference Between VoIP and PSTN Systems" in the Did You Know... section of Webopedia.

Starks may yet return this season for Packers
Running back James Starks may return to the Green Bay Packers later this
season. Starks has a deep bone bruise inside his knee, suffered last Sunday
against Minnesota. The injury did not damage any of Starks' ligaments, but
is serious enough that the Packers considered placing Starks on their
injured reserve list, which would sideline him for the season. Now, coach
Mike McCarthy says Starks will be out for an undetermined number of weeks,
but could return later this season. To replace Starks in the backfield, the
Packers are signing former Green Bay running back Ryan Grant, who played in
one game for Washington earlier this season. Alex Green is expected to
start at running back against Detroit Sunday night.

The July edition is built with the indicators obtained during this month in order to maintain the freshness of the data of the most current and updated Ranking of Universities. After publication on the July 31th we received evidence of bad practices by a few universities, so a corrected edition was needed. Those HEIs affected are still included in the main list with indicators marked 99999 (see below for explanation), except for the University of Mosul that has been excluded.
Second, non-central, old webdomains with rich contents
A list of selected no-longer the main web domain of the university is provided as indication for webmanagers of addresses that should be discontinued for increasing the global performance of the current preferred domain. That action could improve your rankk in our classification and it also have positive impact in the number of visitors and overall web performance.
According to their Google Scholar Citations public profiles
In order to complement the institutional-level information we are developing a new project, the ranking of scientists based on their performance (h index; citations) according to their Google Scholar Citations public profiles. Several countries are already available and new ones are being prepared.
July 2015 edition
Most of the papers analysing ranking results only use the data from the top 500 universities, a sample that is clearly not very representative for most of the countries. For example, although there are countries where the whole set of their universities are in the upper category, others as important as the USA, that has a lot of universities in the elite, also shows over 2000 of its HEIs beyond the 5000th mark.

Doubly selective multiple quantum chemical shift imaging and T 1 relaxation time measurement of glutathione (GSH) in the human brain in vivo
The Nathan Kline Institute, Medical Physics, Orangeburg, NY, 10962, USA. .NMR in Biomedicine (Impact Factor: 3.04). 01/2013; 26(1). DOI: 10.1002/nbm.2815
Source: PubMed
Mapping of a major antioxidant, glutathione (GSH), was achieved in the human brain in vivo using a doubly-selective multiple quantum filtering based chemical shift imaging (CSI) of GSH at 3 T. Both in vivo and phantom tests in CSI and single voxel measurements were consistent with excellent suppression of overlapping signals from creatine, γ-Amino butyric acid (GABA) and macromolecules. GSH concentration in the fronto-parietal region was 1.20 ± 0.16 µmol/g (mean ± SD, n = 7). The longitudinal relaxation time (T(1) ) of GSH in the human brain was 397 ± 44 ms (mean ± SD, n = 5), which was substantially shorter than that of other metabolites. This GSH-CSI method permits us to address regional differences of GSH in the human brain under conditions where oxidative stress has been implicated, including multiple sclerosis, aging and neurodegenerative diseases.

ABSTRACT: A reduction in key antioxidants such as glutathione has been noted in brain tissue undergoing oxidative stress in aging and neurodegeneration. To date, no dietary factor has been linked to a higher glutathione concentration. However, in an earlier pilot study, we showed evidence of a positive association between cerebral glutathione and dairy intake. We tested the hypothesis that dairy food consumption is associated with cerebral glutathione concentrations in older adults. In this observational study, we measured cerebral glutathione concentrations in 60 healthy subjects (mean ± SD age: 68.7 ± 6.2 y) whose routine dairy intakes varied. Glutathione concentrations were measured by using a unique, noninvasive magnetic resonance chemical shift imaging technique at 3 T and compared with dairy intakes reported in 7-d food records. Glutathione concentrations in the frontal [Spearman's rank-order correlation (rs) = 0.39, P = 0.013], parietal (rs = 0.50, P = 0.001), and frontoparietal regions (rs = 0.47, P = 0.003) were correlated with average daily dairy servings. In particular, glutathione concentrations in all 3 regions were positively correlated with milk servings (P ≤ 0.013), and those in the parietal region were also correlated with cheese servings (P = 0.015) and calcium intake (P = 0.039). Dairy intake was related to sex, fat-free mass, and daily intakes of energy, protein, and carbohydrates. However, when these factors were controlled through a partial correlation, correlations between glutathione concentrations and dairy and milk servings remained significant. Higher cerebral glutathione concentrations were associated with greater dairy consumption in older adults. One possible explanation for this association is that dairy foods may serve as a good source of substrates for glutathione synthesis in the human brain. © 2015 American Society for Nutrition.American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 02/2015; 101(2):287-93.
