Present: Andrea Anderson, Cherry Banks, Constantin Behler, Warren Buck, Frank Cioch, Paul Collins, JoLynn Edwards, Walter Freytag, Ufuk Ince, Chuck Jackels, Dan Jacoby, Sandeep Krishnamurthy, Carole Kubota, Kevin Laverty, Ray Lou, Anne Loustau, Kathleen Martin, June Morita, Pete Nye, Nancy Place, Bill Seaburg, Suzanne Sikma, Linda Watts, Carol Zander
Approval of Minutes
Motion to approve minutes for November 7, 2001 made by Constantin Behler, seconded by Kathleen Martin, minutes were approved unanimously.
Chancellor's Remarks
Chancellor Buck addressed budget concerns and issues relating to UW. The Governor is recommending a 5% cut for higher education. Final numbers should be decided by March. This 5% cut will impact UWB, although we have enrollment growth, which will soften this impact. Our growth rate (14%) allows for flexibility and so far makes use of RCEP (Consolidation or Elimination of Academic Programs) unnecessary.
UWT has proposed to combine programs into a college of arts and Sciences and a School of Professional Studies with separate Deans. UWB has decided that this campus does not want to move toward that structure.
A task force was formed by Vice Chancellor Ray Lou to reconsider our mission and to develop a vision statement. The finished document is a shared vision of the campus. The Chancellor asked GFO for its recommendation concerning the new vision statement. The vision statement will play a key role in the strategic positioning conversations and that are presently taking place.
Frank Cioch motioned that the GFO recommend the vision statement to the Chancellor. Vote, seconded by Suzanne Sikma. (No quorum being present, the final vote will be by mail ballot to all GFO members).
Discussion followed regarding how the core values fulfill the mission. Clarification of any changes the task force made to the document was requested. Professor Cioch stated that no substantive changes were made by the task force. Professor Laverty pointed out that the last paragraph of the Goals was not a goal, and needs to stand alone as a statement. Ray Lou confirmed this correction. Any recommendations from GFO will go the Cabinet and the combined recommendations will serve to finalize the document. The verbiage of the core values was recommended for change, the word "citizens" was debated and a motion was made to change the wording of the "Engaged Scholarship" portion of the "Core Values".
Motion on the terms Citizenship and Citizen
Faculty resolved to leave the term "enlightened citizenship in the section on Transformational Education, but voted to eliminate the term citizen in the next sentence in deference to concern that this term was insensitive to the communities we serve.
A motion was made to amend the "Engaged Scholarship" portion of the "Core Values" by Kevin Laverty and seconded by Paul Collins, the motion was unanimously approved. Amendment as follows:
Engaged Scholarship
As scholars and learners, we embrace scholarship that is innovative and rigorous. We encourage intellectual contributions that transcend the boundaries of conventional disciplines and enhance the education of our students.
Our Scholarship contributes to our region's dynamic economy and to the lives of its people. Awareness of and involvement in our community keeps us open, responsive and responsible.
A motion was made by Constantin Behler, seconded by Carole Kubota and unanimously approved to strike the word "relevant" from the Vision statement. Amendment as follows:
Vision Statement
The University of Washington, Bothell will be a transformational learning community. We will serve as a catalyst to enhance quality of life throughout our region.
Our culture of learning, committed to disciplined inquiry and responsible service, will be woven into our organizational and operational life. We will be noted for discipline-bridging scholarship valued in the community and respected in the academy. Our success will attract a highly motivated and diverse student population and a faculty and staff of exceptional ability and dedication.
A motion was made by Frank Cioch, that the documents be amended to include the recommendations and sent to the Cabinet, the motion was seconded by Suzanne Sikma and unanimously approved.
Research Professors and the Handbook
Professor Martin began a discussion on the UWB Handbook and the omission of the classification of research assistant, research associate professors, full time professors and retired assistant professors. A study of system wide changes to the handbook is needed, are we silent by omission or by intent? UWB handbook has it's own stamp, adapted to our needs.
Kathleen Martin made a motion to call a vote on adopting Section 21-32 of the UW Handbook to the UWB Handbook, the motion was seconded by Carole Kubota and unanimously approved.
Planning and Budget Issues
Planning-Suzanne Sikma reported on her work with Ray Lou, Jane Decker and Frank Cioch on new program planning. The new procedures are intended to define a transparent process for proposing new programs and/or degrees. Ray expressed kudos to Suzanne and Frank for their outstanding work on the comprehensive research with UWB faculty, UWS and the HEC Board to get the proposal approved.
Budget: Dan Jacoby asked for faculty involvement to ensure faculty participates in the budget process. Bill Kelleher will be invited to a GFO meeting. If we have prepared questions for Bill, he can address specific concerns and focus on issues of interest.
Community Colleges- UWB has an uneven delivery system for bringing students in at the junior level. Do we want UWS to give us license to teach "gateway" courses? Do we want to offer our own introductory courses, or should we rely in the Community College System and especially on CCC? GFO will create a task force to study and devise a plan for articulation with community colleges.
Tri-campus Issues-UWS Senate understands UWB as analogous to a college or school, rather than a separate entity. We at UWB, however, have tended to consider ourselves as a campus governance, with an intent to develop its own mission and vision. Accordingly, we continue to look for understandings with the Senate that will facilitate this.
UWT-UWB Deanships/Colleges-Right now, there is very little support for UWB to move toward the "deanship" model that UWT is doing. We want to develop our own structure.
Lecturer Question- Given that the vision statement concerns itself with an "inclusive community" we have found that the lecturer status may create problems in as much as it creates a rank without full rights and privileges. It would appear to violate AAUP guidelines for academic freedom as these pertain to tenure, which lecturers are not eligible for. Professor Jacoby sought input on lecturer status on listserv and received the response that the rank was created to enhance flexibility. GFO will study this issue, get feedback from the lecturers and look at options regarding long-term contracts and security for lecturers.
GFO needs to stimulate participation.

|Miniature Fabry-Perot pressure sensor created by using UV-molding process with an optical fiber based mold.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22714519 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|We present a miniature Fabry-Perot pressure sensor fabricated at the tip of an optical fiber with a pre-written Bragg grating by using UV-molding polymer process. The mold is constructed by integrating an optical fiber of 80 μm diameter with a zirconia ferrule. The optical fiber based mold makes it possible to use optical aligning method to monitor the coupled intensity between the mold-side and replica-side fibers, rendering a maskless alignment process with a submicrometer accuracy. A polymer-metal composite thin diaphragm is employed as the pressure transducer. The overall sensor size is around 200 μm in diameter. Experimental study shows that the sensor exhibits a good linearity over a pressure range of 1.9-7.9 psi, with a sensitivity of 0.0106 μm/psi. The fiber Bragg grating is exploited for simultaneous temperature measurements or compensation for temperature effects in pressure readings. The sensor is expected to benefit many fronts that require miniature and inexpensive sensors for reliable pressure measurement, especially biomedical applications.

On Monday Chuck Todd relayed some controversial comments from an Obama aide whom he called "very smart" on MSNBC's Morning Joe:
I threw the Lincoln analogy at a close aide to the president last week, and he said, 'you know, with this Republican - " with the way politics of Washington are today, there'd still be slavery. Lincoln wouldn't have been able to navigate the polarization between the media, between this.' It was an interesting and depressing observation from this very smart White House aide.
Todd's quote is being widely reported on the right and branded "disgraceful" - but the remark was also a big hit with left-leaning users on Reddit, who found it a useful starting-point to dissect the modern GOP's failings.

Iran are to prepare for their next FIFA World Cup™ qualifier with friendly games against Qatar, Kuwait and possibly Morocco.
The games against Qatar, at a venue to be decided, and away to Kuwait will be on 15 and 23 March respectively. Iran's next FIFA World Cup qualifier against Saudi Arabia will be played in Tehran on 28 March. Their previous match in the group, held in Riyadh, ended in a 1-1 draw.
Korea Republic currently top the FIFA World Cup qualifying Asia Zone Group 2 with eight points, followed by Korea DPR on seven points and Iran with six points. Saudi Arabia are fourth on four points with the United Arab Emirates on one point. All teams have played four matches so far.
An Iranian Football Federation official also told the ISNA news agency that arrangements were being made to play against Morocco on 1 April when Iran has a four-day training camp in Barcelona. Iran drew 1-1 with UAE in November and shared the spoils against Thailand and Korea DPR, leaving Iran's national team coach Ali Daei under pressure.
The top two in each group qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup finals in South Africa. The third-place teams in Groups 1 and 2 play-off home and away, with the winner battling Oceania zone victors New Zealand for a place in the finals.

How difficult is it to get a good job in
programming without having a degree? I mean does it really take a degree to prove you can program in Java? I was thinking of describing programs I've written one my resume to show prospective employers of my worth. Is this a good idea?
As you may tell I don't have a degree.

I don't have a degree.
Bill Gates doesn't have a degree either (except an honorary degree).
Some employers are weird about that, but those that are usually pay lousy and have hideous office politics.
The important thing is, can you write the code.

Please see the thread "Graduate Program" in this forum also.
The way I've seen it, if you can program and develop in Java, and you're "good", you don't need the degree in todays market.
Interviewing well and communicating what you know will probably be key to getting in without the degree, but who knows if thats even needed now? My question would be in line with Paul's comment, as in what type of organization will you be working for? Are they really desparate? etc.
But don't get me wrong. I know three BRILLIANT developers who make a lot of $$$ who don't have degrees, but they did have to pay their dues...

No I am not desparate for a job. I've got a job now in the US ARMY. I am developing a help desk type application for my office now. Our office handles tech support and work order calls for our organization. Its a good project and I enjoy doing it, I volunteered to do it because I figured I could finally start working on something I want to do, I get to work on it a little during the week but mostly I develop it at home on my free time. I've been programming as a hobby since 95 and its the one thing which I want to do full time once I get out of the military. I don't particularly want to get a degree because I would loose valuable time from the programming projects I want to do. I am not worried about upper management and all that, all I want to do is write code and get paid doing what I love to do. Getting a degree doesn't really interest me because I can already perform satisfactorily in the field of my choice, computer programming. I prefer to keep my nose buried in programming manuals and programming related websites. I am just not the type of person who does well in public type education. It really bores the hell out of me. I like doing things on my own and programming lets me do that very liberally. I am very interested in getting Java certified but I haven't grasped all the fundamentals of java programming good enough yet to where I am able to pass the
. I've still got
of studying left to do.

If anyone ever asks me why I didn't get a degree, I say "Because companies were paying me too much money not to."
There have been a coupla times I thought about going for the degree and the thought that kept coming back was: I could give up six figures a year for two years so that I could earn less than six figures a year. Don't wanna.

See thats what I believe too. Why should I go out and bust my butt getting a degree when I can already perform at my chosen field without the degree? I mean at this point if and when I do go out and look for a job if the majority of jobs don't wanna hire me because I don't have a degree then I may be forced to get one. And for me at this point in my life the only thing that will make me get one is if I am totally forced into getting one because I can't find a decent job.

Frank just to clarify, I think when Matt Midcap said "are they desperate" he was referring to the companies, not the applicant. That is, if they are desperate the chances of getting a job without a degree are better.
All the evidence I've seen suggests in the right market you should have no trouble, if you have programming experience and show you can do java. You might not make six figures right away, but you can get a junior spot, if that interests you.

Sorry I didn't clearify myself. I was wondering if the companies who hire without degrees were desperate. Not if you were desperate. Sorry.
Anyway, it sounds like you're in really good shape! Keep adding the development stuff to your resume and you shouldn't have too many problems finding a job. You might even start making more than Paul
I don't regret my degree, but don't know if I would do it again or not with hind sight.
Best Regards,
Good Luck,

Elmira's Abbey Wheeler runs to a second-place finish in last year's Section 4 Class A championship meet at Chenango Valley State Park.
- Filed Under
Elmira cross country coach Ben Cardamone said before the season his girls team was the strongest he has seen at the school in a decade.
The Express lived up to its advance billing Saturday with a 19-point effort at Chenango Valley's McDaniel-Baxter Invitational, a 15-team meet that included many quality programs.
For the uninitiated, low score wins in cross country. A perfect score is 15, with one point for first place, two for second and so on up to the fifth-place runner on the team. ...

As the reaction progresses inside the battery, we get lumps, and bubbles, and little bits of gunk that build up; either expected reaction products, or by-products due to impurities. And the electrons have trouble getting past those bits, and so the resistance (nominally) goes up, and thus the voltage (nominally) goes down. But the things is that there's no formula that governs this: it's not a simple thing anymore. It's dirt and glop and chaos. Yes, the resistance of a dead battery may go up. No, there's no reliable measure by which you can relate resistance to battery freshness.

SA hockey women working on attackComment on this story
Johannesburg – The SA women's hockey team will aim to improve up front, according to head coach Giles Bonnet, as they prepare for a busy year which begins with a flurry of games in Cape Town.
"The very best teams have the upper hand as their play in the attacking third, allied to their finishing, is always more clinical than ours," Bonnet said on Saturday.
"That is the margin of difference that wins games against us. We will be looking to emulate this in 2013.
"Linked to this is the 2013 development of the team in specific focused areas, areas we can become as good as the top teams in the world in, and we should focus on these, while working on the key deliverables from the London Olympics, so three objectives."
Their season starts on Monday when they face Belgium in the first match of a four-Test series in Cape Town.
Following that series, the SA women will host the second round of the Hockey World League, in Cape Town, where they face Belgium, Austria, Azerbaijan and Ghana at the end of January. If they finish in the top two, they will qualify for the second round of the competition, as they look to book their place in the semi-finals in June.
They will then host the Investec Challenge, which includes world number one and London 2012 Olympic gold medallists the Netherlands, also in Cape Town.
Later in the year, in August, they will compete in the 2013
Africa Cup, where the winner will qualify for the 2014 World Cup. – Sapa

So yesterday it was announced that the joint venture between Japanese social gaming company DeNA and Namco Bandai, previously called BDNA, would be rebranded as BNDeNA. Putting the companies and their respective businesses aside for a moment, this is a truly atrocious name. I mean, capitalizing all letters in a company name is bad enough by itself. But look at that poor little 'e' in the middle!
I shouldn't single out this example, as strange capitalization of company names seems almost epidemic in the Japanese tech space. Take for example Docomo, which refers to itself as 'DOCOMO' in all its press materials. This is perhaps not as bad as the camel-cased 'DoCoMo' which I (thankfully) don't see written in the press as often as I used to. But there are lots of others too: Japan's other social giant GREE (although this is short enough that it almost looks like an acronym), fashion startup COODE, and even the afore-mentioned Namco Bandai refers to itself as NAMCO BANDAI in its English press materials.
Here's some food for thought from UX Movement:
When is it okay to use all caps? All caps are fine in contexts that don't involve reading, such as logos and acronyms. But when your message involves reading, don't force users to read it with bad shape contrast. The caps lock key is a key that designers should rarely use. In emails, using all caps is a sign of bad manners. In design, using all caps is a sign of bad readability.
And then there are companies who go all lower case. Take ad company 'mediba' for example, which never capitalizes its name. From an editor's point of view this is a bit of a dilemma when you want to start a sentence with 'mediba.' It was also the case with DeNA's 'mobage,' although I see now that the company itself now will use 'Mobage' in press materials.
Normally here on this blog, we'll try to 'normalize' things if at all possible. In English after all, writing in caps often corresponds to shouting on the internet. And we'd prefer not to throw such jarring text at our readers if we can help it.
But of course, weird capitalization of company names is not unique to Japan. I can think of a few examples like eBay or iPhone off the top of my head. And don't get me started on punctuation in a company name (I'm looking at you, Yahoo!). But while we write about companies the world over, Japanese companies are the only ones who we receive mail from, often insisting that a strange all/no caps name be adhered to in accordance with their wishes. Of course, most of them understand our dilemma when we explain it, and are pretty understanding about it.
Perhaps I'm making too much of this, and maybe there's some good reason that I'm missing why many of these Japanese companies feel the need to be referred to consistently in all caps or no caps. If you're a company with no aspirations of business outside of Japan, maybe it's perfectly fine. But now that more and more companies are looking abroad, this is a minor (but important) style point that I hope aspiring startups will consider when promoting their brand.

By Melissa Hunter, Reporting by Mary S. Park
With Fashion Week in full swing, Wonderwall got a chance to talk with former model, current actress, and full-time mom Brooke Shields. Since she basically came of age as a fashion muse, it's no wonder she is a regular in the front row of most shows this week. Read on for her thoughts on Fashion Week, Fall trends, and her daughters' future in modeling,
Wonderwall: What do you want your daughters to know about the glamorous world of fashion?
Brooke: That it's not glamorous or fashion unless they feel good and they're enjoying it. When it's a chore or a job or you're doing to look like somebody else, that's when you need to take a step back and reassess.
WW: Would you be happy if your daughters became models like you?
BS: Oh God. You know what? They can do what they want if they get an education. You know, I'm not going to say no if that's what they aspire to ... They have the confidence but I don't know if they have the patience. I don't know, they may get bored. I hope they don't want to.
WW: Do you want them to go to Princeton like you?
BS: A good university. They get to have a huge say in [their career choices] but they can't do anything else until they get an education.
WW: What shows are you most excited to see?
BS: This is my first show of [Pamela Rolland's] and I just started wearing her stuff. Roland is a mom and her daughters are sort of the same age difference, which I appreciate. But I love that she has a classic style and a sophisticated style but then you'll something like that (pointed to the criss cross shoulder detail on the dress she was wearing) which is a little something extra. I find that it makes it youthful without making it seem like you're trying to not be your age.
WW: What trends will you be wearing in the Fall?
BS: I don't know maybe you should ask me after the show ... I buy something new all the time. (Laughs) My fashion must have is to keep shopping.

Sauber C30 Ferrari
The Sauber C30 is the first at Sauber to be designed and built under the helm of James Key. The Briton came over from Force India F1 during the 2010 season and brought with him valuable experience of working in a budget aware team while proving to be able to develop cars in a sensible manner.
After Sauber halted development of their C29 early in the season, the C30 already made its first appearance in the windtunnel in May 2010. Nonetheless, the C30 is not a radical step forward, but rather a thoughtful evolution, building on the strenghts and trying to iron out the weaknesses.
At first glance, the Sauber is a fairly simple car. It features a slightly wider nose than the C29, but apart from that nothing much has changed in the front, likely because the team already had it correct the year before.
The airbox above the driver's head still remains simple, without adding special inlets like several other teams team. Instead, Sauber focused to reduce the impact of the driver's helmet on the rear end of the car by cutting away more of the bodywork under the inlet. This leaves the airbox supported by 4 struts, rather than the previous two.
Left and right of the driver as somewhat bulkier sidepods that feature cooling inlets of reduced size. Despite adding KERS in the car, the system provided by Ferrari along with the engine, the sidepods are impressively undercut to reduce form drag at the front the sidepod.
All this leads to a nice flow of air along and over the downward sloping top of the sidepods onto the diffuser and the beam wing. Amidst this flow exit the engine exhausts, exiting just above the car's floor and close to the car's centre line. Thanks to Sauber's smaller gearbox, these exhausts now blow onto the central part of the diffuser, as well as partly through the starter hole.
Chassis: carbon-fibre monocoque
Length: 4,935 mm

Aveda Hang Straight Straightening Lotion6.7 oz | Styler, Finisher
see all Aveda products
(Rated 4/5 based on 8 reviews) Login to add your review
Hang Straight is misnamed--it should be "be beautifully curly". My curls are wonderfully soft and defined. I almost threw out the bottle when I went 'all curly all the time', but used it one day when I was in a hurry. Magic. It's my favorite styling lotion for showing off my curl.
My mom got a free bottle of this. I used this to straighten before CG. It was GREAT in humidity, but the smell was weird.
This product did nothing for my hair and left it feeling tacky. My hair was frizzy (and doesn't frizz much) and not smoothed or straightened at all.
Straightened ok - my hair is really pretty easy to straighten anyway - left the ends feeling dry.
I got this product a long time ago when all i wanted was perfectly straight, great looking hair (which i never achieved). Well anyway, yesterday after I got out of the shower, I decided to put some in my hair wet and let it dry curly. It worked very well. Less frizz (and my hair is so so so frizzy since its sort of fried). And it smells so good.
When I straighten my hair (which happens more in the fall/winter), this is my favorite product. Works well, with minimal frizz, even with the high humidity we can get in Savannah in the winter (rain). Still need a pomade to get it to last all day, which is why it doesn't get 4 curls.
Worked great as a smoother for me. I don't straighten, but I noticed less frizz. Nice consistency.
Ingredient Attributes: straightening, anti-humectant

And the envelope please #4 … The Second Annual Calgary Musical Theatre Bloggers Awards ("The Lynnies")
I am so far behind on my summer blogging I was going to take a pass on my self-proclaimed Calgary Musical Theatre Bloggers Awards ("The Lynnies") this year, but since I announced when I launched them last year that this would be an annual award, I hate to give up so soon. Plus, it's a fun way to honour the many musicals I enjoyed this past season, before the Fall season gets going. Unfortunately, I missed a bunch, including Spamalot, which did well at the CAT awards, and The God That Comes, that did well at the Bettys.
"The Lynnies" cover a broad range of categories which relate to the complete customer experience, not just the quality of the performance – both as a blogger and as coordinator of the Calgary Musicals+ Meetup Group which goes to most of these shows and more. I've kept some of the categories from last year, dropped some (mostly the "fun" categories where the winners are virtually a shoe-in (best and worst seats and websites, worst price-gouging, etc.)) and added a few more that I thought deserved mentioning.
So without further ado, we're going to skip the nominations altogether and proceed with the first annual "Lynnies" (drumroll please).
Categories Continued from Last Year
Shows I Was Tempted to See Twice if I Weren't So Busy – Or Cheap
Ghostbusted by Jubilations Dinner Theatre. Jukebox musicals based on popular songs aren't normally my thing, but this one was a blast!
Hairspray by Storybook Theatre. I super production, full of energy. I just wished they'd had a dance floor!
The Last 5 Years by Storybook Theatre. In fact I did see this twice, because I liked it so much the first time around with JP Thibodeau and Madeleine Suddaby, and wanted to see in again with Sarah Irwin and Brandon Wood. I enjoyed it almost as much the second time.
Best Musical That Nobody Saw
The Last 5 Years by Storybook Theatre. I wouldn't go as far as to say that nobody saw this – in fact one of the nights I went the entire cast from Front Row Centre's Legally Blonde was there. But due to the fact that this show ran during the June flood, and is pretty much unknown outside musical theatre circles, they had more quiet nights than they deserved, considering the quality of the production.
Actor/Actress Who's So Good I'd See Anything They're In
JP Thibodeau (If I Weren't With You, The Last 5 Years, Uptown Country Girls). OK, I lied. I would have gone to see Uptown Country Girls, just because JP was in it, but never quite made it, although I did send a number of other people (Sorry, JP :( )
Best Customer Service
Jubilations Dinner Theatre box office – once again, went out of their way to help my group and provide a credit when one of our members ran into difficulties
New Categories This Year
Best Supporting Actress
Katelyn Morishita as Paulette Bonafonte in Front Row Centre's Legally Blonde. Great acting and singing. Hope to see her in bigger roles in future.
Biggest Loss
The disappearance of Summerstock, a troupe featuring high school students who until last year performed an annual summer musical outdoors at Olympic Plaza. The one consolation is that a number of those who appeared in their production of Legally Blonde, also performed in Front Row Centre's version this winter.
Best New Venue
Beddington Community Arts Centre. Storybook's new theatre is a nice, flexible space, with great acoustics. Most importantly, it's not as far as you'd think. That's a good thing, since now that Front Row Centre is moving there, those of us who love musicals will be spending a lot more time up there.
Best interview
Hawksley Workman, composer/performer – The God That Comes (ATP). How can you top the quote "life is made immeasurably better by wine and rock 'n roll" ?
Honourable mention: Max Reimer, director – Chicago, Stage West
Best Musical at the Calgary Fringe Festival
Nashville Hurricane by Chase Padgett (a follow-up to his popular 6 Guitars, which he also did as an encore performance)
Honourable Mentions: Fat Sex! Steve Larkin's body … of poems and songs! and More Power to Your Knitting, Nell! by Melanie Gall
Sexiest Show
Stage West's Chicago (as if there would be any competition!)
Feel free to share your thoughts or additional "fun" categories (best or worst) based on your musical theatre experiences this past season.

Okay, but I don't remember much except...Posted on 08 / 17 / 2012
I came here once for a dinner meal with a large party of non-vegetarians. Here's my Shima review.
Everyone else had wanted to eat the sushi, fish, and seafood dishes. I had a couple sides that were vegan suitable but don't remember the specific items... just seems to me that all the other diners were eating fish and sushi.
It's nice, though, that Shima advertise brown rice sushi. I'll have to go again and then update my review for happycow. Stay tuned.
Cons: slightly pricey

~ I finally started a sketchbook, so now I have somewhere to put my latest life drawerings and character of the week entries! I'll get this sketchbook started with a satisfactory dump of my most recent (and some
older) work! Anyone feel free to comment, criticize, praise, worship, adore or lampoon
~ first three are life drawerings from 3-3-08, 10, 15, and 20 minute "studies"
~ 3-10-08 (10 min sketch)
~ 3-10-08 (15 min)
~ 3-10-08 (20 min)
~ I like to draw hands. This one is from sometime in August '07.
~ Here is my first EVER conceptart.org post, it was from DSG (daily sketch group) 1063: Large Artic Spider has heavy, blubbery, walrus-like flesh - a great subject indeed, although this spider didn't come out as portly as I'd intended, we still had a good time, I'll call him William.
~ My second conceptart post, here I found the moxy to enter the infamous COW thread (creature of the week) - the topic was Firestarter here is the description I wrote:
This unfortunate pair of elongated Rat-Weasels are genetically-engineered test subjects which are bred and trained as part of a military infiltration & sabotage operation codenamed Firestarter. The rat-weasel's are highly fire resitant and tolerant of extreme heat. In early infancy 2 rat's are paired up with their tails tied together, for the next six-months the rats are trained to seek out enemy fuel & ammo trucks, food supplies, munitions stores, and so on. After training the rat-weasels will be used in covert sabotage operations, where a small flaming device is attached to the rats entwined tails, then the rats are dumped off too seek the nearest target for destruction. They are also adept at creating chaos in enemy ranks and frightening enemy guard dogs. However the survival rate for their missions is quite low, thus veteran kamikaze rat-weasels are in short supply, and the rat-weasel trainers do have a tendency to cry more often than most military personnel.
~ I got zero votes for this entry, but truthfully was just happy to be able to enter without receiving mass ridicule
~ Now I moved onto the infamous Chow thread, the topic was Motocentaur, sounds cool yes? but only six people entered! Again I received no votes, but I blame the other entries for that!
~ Next I moved to another sketch group, the "New Media Coloring Book, vol.2" - here artists post sketches they've done, and then anyone who wants can take those sketches and color them. It's a good time Here is my first entry in this new territory, I used first rate lineart created by DaveTheOriginal - thanks Dave! (p.77)
I used another of DaveTheOriginal's sketches. He can drawl good.
Another one, used Dave again.
Brkofdon drew this one.
Artmessiah drew this un.
~ I went back to the dirty old chow thread, and making my own drawrerings too. This is from chow 86: "The Junk Collector"
- This was a very exciting entry for me, as it came out a bit better than my prior chow attempt, I actually receieved 14 votes!!! I danced around my bedroom singing praises to all the heroes who voted for me! A very big day for me, my first ever voters and so many! My entry was the third most popular and I slept like a lamb that night
~ With unprecedented bravery I entered two character of the week challenges back to back! This one was chow #87: Future Caveman. I tried to get creative and make an atypical caveman, although secretly this was really a vision I'd had of myself in the future...
"they kept to themselves, recluses of society, plugged in to their nutrient tanks, offal recompositors and virtual networks, the cavemen of the 22nd century spend their lives in complete isolation from mankind..."
Again I had wild success, I received the endorsement of six heroes this time, and due to the small turnout my work was again 3rd most loved, which I didn't expect at all, but makes me feel so warm inside
After a 23 chow hiatus, which, if my math skills are still functional, is nearly 6 months!! ~ I've come back to conceptart, this challenge doesn't end till sunday, although I don't think I'm going to do any more work on it. The character idea this time was quite good, it is called: Historical Gender Bender - where you take any figure from history and drawl them as the opposite sex. I choose Ghengis Khan, or by his birthname, Temujin. Now it's Temujina! At the time I wasn't aware of anyone else doing this character, but currently it looks like several people choose Ghengi, oh well, looking forward to seeing everyone's entries.
Here we have Temujina (note the boobs, rosy cheeks, and flowers, which make this character obviously female) - about to decapitate her horse, for misbehaving.

It's a simple problem: Unemployed workers aren't being matched with jobs.
Hopefully, there can be a simple solution, too. The issue has been vexing Wisconsin's manufacturers for years as they try to recruit workers with the skills necessary to help them produce quality products.
The state Department of Workforce Development could soon be working on a software system that notifies workers collecting unemployment checks of appropriate openings. At the same time, the department hopes to overhaul its antiquated and difficult-to-use unemployment insurance system.
Both of the changes are necessary, and the department's initial concepts are good.
We're skeptical, however, about the execution. The state doesn't have a solid track record when it comes to software.
The University of Wisconsin spent $26 million on a payroll system that it later dropped. After spending millions on a voter registration system, the state severed ties with the developer that didn't deliver a program after three years. Another $28.2 million was wasted on an Integrated Tax System. The Medicaid Management Information program cost millions more than was budgeted.
With the state's tight budget and so many people looking for jobs, the system's overhaul can't run over budget and it must work as promised.
Whatever program the state selects, it must be easy to use for everyone, including older workers. Jonathan Barry, Department of Workforce Development deputy secretary, said the program could be available through smartphone apps. That's a good idea - as long as the website works well, too.
For an unemployment insurance program, clarity is vital. The state's current system is disastrously complicated and unfriendly to all users.
Obviously, price is an issue as well. We get stuck with a crummy multimillion-dollar program and have to start over.
A system that connects workers with jobs would obviously benefit the state. But it must be useful.
We're already hurt by fiscal cliff
With the fiscal cliff fast approaching - full of tax hikes for everyone and spending cuts that will send the nation into another recession - now we get the inevitable bounce-back of "Well, it really won't be so bad."
Some economists and pundits are telling us that a little fall partway down the fiscal cliff won't be so bad, for one of a variety of reasons.
Congress still has time after the first of the year before all the bad stuff kicks in, some say.
We shouldn't rush into a bad deal by the deadline because that might make it worse, others say.
We need to suck it up on the negative effects of the fiscal cliff to reduce the federal debt, others say.
But the thing is, the negative effects have already started.
The uncertainty because of Washington's dithering about the issue is doing bad things to the economy - and will continue to until there's an answer.
Consumer confidence fell to a four-month low this month, according to the survey results released last week.
"As the deadline to resolve the fiscal cliff draws closer with no resolution in sight as of yet, households are concerned about a potentially sharp drop in their after-tax incomes," Capital Economics said, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Markets, both in the United States and around the world, are feeling the effects of the uncertainty.
Even charitable organizations are reporting that charitable giving is down because people are worried about what might happen to their own finances.
But the other thing is, this didn't have to happen.
Congress is so dysfunctional that it doesn't get anything done on major issues unless it's facing a deadline with severe consequences. And that's bad enough, but no one in Washington seems to have realized that we don't have to get to the deadline for bad things to start to occur.
There's no good reason we should be facing the fiscal cliff. There's no good reason why the nation should be put through this. There's no good reason why the negative effects that we're already experiencing should have happened.
The reason is our lawmakers in Washington - all of them.

Many greats were at the AJ Women in Architecture Awards - and they just happened to be women
A spirit of generosity prevailed at this year's AJ Women in Architecture Awards, says Christine Murray
It was an event like no other in architecture. Every table featured greats: Sheila O'Donnell of O'Donnell & Tuomey, Yvonne Farrell of Grafton Architects, Eva Jiřičná, Francine Houben of Mecanoo, Jane Priestman, Kathryn Findlay, Angela Brady and many more - all of whom just happened to be women.
The purpose of the AJ Women in Architecture Awards, sponsored by Roca and Place Careers, is to come together to celebrate great design, and to promote role models for young women in practice, for whom there are still too few. The awards were presented at the sell-out luncheon last Friday at the Langham Hotel on Portland Place, just a stone's throw from the RIBA.
There were great clients in the room, too, from Moira Gemmill of the V&A, to Laura Lee of Maggie's Centres, as well as representatives from Land Securities, Brent Council, the Netherlands Embassy, Cathedral Group, the Guinness Trust and more.
Interestingly, there were more men in attendance this year, from Owen Luder to Phil Coffey of Coffey Architects, Paul Monaghan from AHMM and Paul Finch - although women outnumbered men six to one.
Like any awards event, there were guest speakers, winners and trophies. But at this event, success is shared, and a spirit of generosity prevailed. Farrell's speech was a tribute to women architects in history. 'Why didn't I know about Lina Bo Bardi and her art museum of São Paulo?' Jiřičná paid tribute to Jane Drew, 'the pioneer'. Alison Brooks, on accepting the AJ Woman Architect of the Year award for 2013, paid tribute to the other women shortlisted: 'Some of the greatest buildings of this century will be created by the women on the shortlist.'
And the support extended outside the room, too. Zaha Hadid was unable to attend, but sent flowers to Jiřičná, beautiful orchids which arrived in the morning to be placed at her table. Denise Scott Brown's moving opening address - delivered from an armchair in Philadelphia - was filled with spirited advice garnered during a lifetime in the profession and ended with a wish: 'Despite the hardships, and with lapses, architecture has been, most of the time, an ecstasy for me. I hope you will find this too.'
When we first published the AJ Women in Practice issue last year, the focus was on that long-standing question, why do women leave architecture? The ensuing and evolving AJ Women in Architecture campaign has become a call for equality - equal pay and equal recognition. The annual survey is a way to track progress. The awards are for the promotion of women and their achievements. The lunch itself is an opportunity to inspire. With two great speakers and three exceptional award recipients, I hope our guests left feeling empowered and ready to encourage a future generation of women to stick with architecture. As Brooks said: 'The best is yet to come.'

Tambour Table by Michael Bambino.
"The tabletop can be gently pushed away to reveal power, usb connections, and compartments that allow the user to store items or quickly clear the table surface. The tambour of the tabletop allows the table to be placed against a wall. To plug into an outlet or usb the user opens the table, plugs in, and closes the table to find that the wire has been maneuvered into the cutout in the tabletop, keeping all wire clutter protected and out of sight."

Before Link 2SD was created, only Froyo and Gingerbread users can easily move apps to SD card with app 2sd or move 2sd application. Unfortunately, it is not very easy for Android Donut and Éclair users to make their Android become app 2sd capable because they have to do some confusing steps. Now with Link 2SD, to move application to SD becomes very easy by just some clicks. Before install Link 2SD, be sure that you have rooted your Android (Download z4root application if you haven't rooted your Android). Then make 2 partitions on your SD Card, FAT16 and ext2. Remember that both of the partition must be primary, not logical. Recommended ext2 partition is 10% of your SD Card capasity (400 MB for 4 GB SD Card). Last step, install Link 2SD and choose any applications that you want to move to SD Card to save your phone's memory. Tested and worked perfectly on LG Optimus, HTC Hero,Samsung Galaxy, Motorola Milestone, Motorola Droid,Xperia X8, Xperia X10, HTC Desire HD, Google Nexus One, HTC EVO 4G, Motorola Backflip, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Samsung Fascinate, Acer E400, Samsung Galaxy Apollo, LG Gt540 Optimus, Samsung Galaxy 5, etc. For more information about Link 2SD, click here Recent Changes

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — Jurors will be allowed to review the video, but not the transcript, of an Iowa man being interrogated as they consider whether he's guilty of murder in the death of his pregnant wife.
Judge Daniel Wilson said Thursday that he has provided the video of Seth Techel's interview with Division of Criminal Investigation agent Chris Thomas to jurors.
But he denied their request for the transcript of the four-hour interrogation that jurors were given during the trial to follow along, saying that was not evidence.
The interrogation came hours after Techel's wife, Lisa Techel, was found dead in their trailer in Agency, in rural southeastern Iowa. In it, he denied killing his wife and rejected pressure to confess.
The jury is considering whether Techel is guilty of first-degree murder.

501 (c) (3) non-profit foundation
"Let's not get mad at the one day Tsunami. Let's fight THE DAILY TSUNAMI" Sam Bandak
The following are quotes from the report
"Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics - 2005 Update" by The American Heart Association.
If you still do not feel that you are at risk, we assure you 100% that someone you know or care about is at risk. (father, mother, brother, sister, friend,
colleague, and many others)
SO PLEASE READ ON and share the information with them.
The following is not an endorsement of the Bayer company or Bayer aspirin, but it is a quote from their website: "The FDA approved aspirin for a wide variety of uses including:
Heart attack
Aspirin can reduce the risk of death if taken as directed by a doctor as soon as a heart attack is suspected. The FDA says that as little as one-half (162.5 mg) of a regular-strength aspirin tablet reduces the risk of death by up to 23 percent if administered when a heart attack is suspected and continued for 30 days thereafter. Aspirin taken during a suspected heart attack can also lessen the damaging effects of the heart attack".
If you think that you might be allergic to Aspirin please check with your doctor.
Many people have Aspirin at their home, but heart attacks also happen while people are outside their homes, when they are not carrying an aspirin. We could encourage people to carry an aspirin with them at all time, but most do not since it is an
to place it in a container and keep moving it from pants to pants, shirt to shirt, purse to purse and so on.
Many manufacturers made a pill capsule key chain, but we have not seen many people carrying them since the ones that are in the market or on the internet are either bulky, expensive or both. The key chain pill capsules on the Internet sell between $4 to $16. If manufactured in bulk using strong opaque plastic or aluminum, the pill capsules would not cost more than 5 to 10 cents each.
Taking such a pill at the onset of a heart attack will increase the chances of survival, decrease the damage to the heart or the brain, and will probably prevent a person from becoming disabled, which ultimately saves billions of dollars. So not only that we would save lives, but also save billions of dollars.
Ask your friends and relatives that are over forty years old, and see how many of them carry an aspirin. Not many
Our goal is to get each and every man and woman around the world that carry a key chain to add a very small pill capsule to his/her key chain.
The only way to get them to add it, is to give it to them for free, and not to sell it to them. Therefore, if we achieve this goal, and using simple elementary mathematics, not only we would save tens of thousands of lives, but we would also save ourselves here in the United States at least the following amount
23% of $393.5 Billion = $90.5 BILLION DOLLARS
Crimson Heart Foundation would order the manufacture and then distribute this key chain pill capsule to every person at risk in the United States and then the rest of the world. People do not need to die prematurely or become disabled especially if it costs pennies to help them.
The key chain pill capsules that are in the market or on the Internet are either too bulky, too expensive or both. The capsule that we are considering would just be made of a sturdy clear or opaque plastic cylinder that would hold the needed one or two aspirins in case of a heart attack. This way the plastic capsule would be very light, inconspicuous and small enough that it would not be bothersome.

The Coast Guard bid its final farewells to the cutter Gallatin on Monday in a decommissioning ceremony at its homeport in Charleston, S.C.
The ship and its 170 crew members capped off its 45 years in service with three patrols with 2013, busting nearly three tons of cocaine from South America, a Coast Guard Atlantic Area release said.
There is a special relationship that exists between sailor and ship, especially for a cutter as long-serving and loyal as Gallatin, Capt. Caleb Corson, Gallatins final commanding officer, said at the ceremony. In writing the final chapter as the last high endurance cutter in the East Coast, its proud legacy will live on forever in Coast Guard history, our memories and in our hearts.
The 378-foot Gallatin is the last East Coast high-endurance cutter to be decommissioned, though seven remain in service on the West Coast. Its the sixth cutter named after former Treasury Secretary Albert Gallatin, who served under presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.
The ships missions have included maritime law enforcement, domestic and international humanitarian relief, search and rescue, nation-building and ambassador of goodwill, the release said.
The cutters next assignment is with the Nigerian navy. A small crew of Nigerian sailors has been training on the ship in South Carolina in preparation for the transfer.
The national security cutter Hamilton, the fourth of eight planned ships in the class, will replace Gallatin in South Carolina following its scheduled December commissioning.
