Amazing lives of the bone-eating zombies of the deep.
The oceans cover more than 70% of the planet's surface, but what lies beneath is a mystery to most. Many of us don't get much farther than a paddle at the seaside.
So what amazing creatures lie down in the deep? Stephen Palumbi knows better than anyone. In his book The Extreme Life of the Sea, co-written with his son Anthony, he describes a world that few people get to see first hand.
He told The Sunday Post The Honest Truth about life in the deep.
Why did you specialise in marine biology?
It's like studying life on other planets — except this is our planet's own oceans.
How deep in the ocean does life exist?
Life thrives in even the deepest parts, nearly 11 km beneath the surface. The unique problem down there is pressure. A polystyrene coffee cup would compress to the size of a shot glass by the pressure. If we were to go out of a submarine door that deep, the pressure would congeal the lipids and fats in our cells, and our nerves wouldn't work.
Species manage to live in extreme habitats by having extreme adaptations. Creatures like the stoplight loosejaw, a deepsea fish that beams out red light in the dark sea so it can find its prey. The trick is only the loosejaw can see this shade of red, so it catches its prey unawares.
What are some of the other truly weird creatures down there?
If you pick up whale bones from the bottom of the sea, you might find an extra passenger — the
zombie bone worm, also descriptively called the snot flower.
It burrows into the bones because they're full of oil and are a good food supply. Many worms can live in the same bones, and within weeks the bones of a large whale would be reduced to dust on the sea floor.
The inch-long snapping shrimps are built to shoot out pellets of water which travel so fast they leave a low-pressure wake behind them where bubbles form then collapse. The snapping sound is the collapse of the bubbles. The noise is so powerful it can stun prey and make a very small heat pulse in the sea hotter than the surface of the sun.
Why don't fish in the coldest parts of the ocean freeze?
They've a protein in their blood that attaches to tiny ice crystals and keeps them from growing. Their blood is less salty than sea water, and when the ocean gets to -2° C, the salty sea doesn't freeze but the less salty blood does. The anti-freeze proteins keep these ice fish from freezing up.
Is it true some creatures exist only next to scalding hot water from natural deep sea vents?
The Pompeii Worm lives with its tail in water which is the temperature of hot tea. But its head, only an inch away, lives in water that is icily chilly. How they make cells that can work at such different temperature is a secret locked in their genes.
What's the commonest form of life in the sea?
Microbes. There is as much bacteria in a quart of water as there are people in India. Though tiny, the bacteria are so numerous that they control the chemistry of the oceans and the oxygen in our atmosphere.
The coelacanth was a fish previously known only from fossils. But it turned out many were still alive today. Any other living fossils out there?
There are four species of horseshoe crabs on the Atlantic coast of the USA and in SE Asia. You can find fossils of these creatures hundreds of million of years old that look just like the modern species. This is what a living fossil is — a form of life that hasn't changed for a long time. The huge cephalopods that used to dominate the ocean have one type of living fossil — the clumsy nautilus, a squid-like animal living in a coiled shell in SE Asian reefs.
You mention creatures that live for centuries. How can you age them?
In the 1990s, Inuit natives captured a bowhead whale as part of their traditional hunt. The whale had a scar on its back inside which was a stone harpoon which had hit the whale long ago but obviously not killed it. No-one has thrown a stone harpoon at a whale for over a century so this one was far older than anyone thought whales could be.
Likewise, some deep sea fish in our current fisheries on the US west coast live to be over 100. Scientists have checked the centre of their ear bones for radioactivity.
Since the 1960s, when we dropped hydrogen bombs on coral reefs to test them, our oceans have had elevated levels of a radioactive element called Carbon-14. If a fish doesn't have this in its inner ear, we know it must be older than that.
If you could travel back in time to see the seas at some time in the past, when would you choose?
About 400 million years ago, to see the ocean when the major prey were crab-like trilobites scuttling across the seafloor. The major predators were huge squid-like cephalopods that had heavy coiled shells. They filled their shells with gas so they could float. The biggest lived in coiled shells which measured six feet across.
Will the oceans be able to adapt to changes brought on by climate change and man's influence?
The ocean life that thrives in the middle of our pollution isn't very nice — bacteria, swarms of jellyfish, worms and slumbering species. We still have a choice, though, about whether we would rather have oceans full of dolphins and whales and codfish and lobsters and corals. All these species are still productive and capable of recovering. We can choose the future of the ocean: one where we continue to use it for recreation and food, or one where the small, explosive, weedy species take over.

Pre-orders to be taken through Humble store.
By Tim Colwill on December 11, 2012 at 1:33 pm
Highly-anticipated (at least here, in my office) indie gem Monaco has finally announced that pre-orders will soon become available.
Speaking on the game's official Twitter feed, developer Andy Schatz revealed that pre-orders will use the Humble store, will deliver Steam keys, and be available in packs of 4. Schatz also revealed the existence of "MAJOR preorder bonus goodies".
As for a final release date, the four-player co-op stealth heist game is headed for "Marchish". What is Monaco, you ask, and why should I care? Take a look at this video.

Southern Utah Gymnast Memory Shettles works her bar routine during the first home gymnastics meet of the season against the Utah State Aggies.

After a rough start to its 2014 season, the Southern Utah gymnastics team returned home to start its new life in the Mountain Rim Gymnastics Alliance.
The T-Birds shook off a little more rust, sweeping all four individual event titles, but the visiting Utah State Aggies counted fewer falls and walked away with the overall win, 194.150-193.975 on Friday night before an announced crowd of 2,175 at the Centrum.
SUU head coach Scott Bauman said the team had some issues on the uneven bars in the second rotation, but had enough left to deliver a stronger effort from the season opener at Utah. ...

But whether that's good or bad isn't yet clear
Page 1 of 1
by Lyrical44 - March 07, 2011
I am 22, soon to be 23 on the 10th of this month, and on the 15th I have to have the LEEP procedure done.
Let me just say that I am REALLY scared. I am a big sissy, horrified of needles, and I have no idea what to expect. The procedure itself seems pretty straight forward, but I and concerned about my recovery and how I might feel afterwards.
I JUST got a job housekeeping at a big hotel and I find the job very strenuous and quite hard on me physically as I am not used to it, and I am wondering if I am going to have to take a few weeks off, to give myself time to heal properly, or just a few days?
If anyone can help ease my fears about the recovery, the local anesthetic and my job, I would be REALLY grateful. Thanks.

F*** the RIAA. Seriously. Maybe if they lowered the cost of CDs to a reasonable amount, people would buy them, but as long as they want to steal from me, I will continue to steal from them. I am the proud owner of a 26.5GB mp3 collection, and it grows more and more every day.
CDs cost what? $.01 a piece these days? Less? You mean to tell me that they have to charge $20 a piece to make money off a CD? Please. If they lowered the cost of a CD to around $5 (or less) then a LOT more people would actually want to buy them. Christ your average DVD costs about the same as a CD and you get WAY more from that ... hmm.
F*** the crybaby RIAA. People like that should all die. Greedy F***s.

Strip Horse
by Paige
Diva Disclaimer: We have ANOTHER great idea to "spice things up" in the bedroom. If reading about stuff like this makes you blush ~ although we try to keep it tasteful and tame ~ you may want to skip this post. For those of you always lookin' for "intimacy" ideas… feel free to read on…
If you or your hubby LOVE basketball, you will LOVE this twist on the classic game of HORSE. It's a not-so-innocent game, great for an intimate night in! Here's a quick refresher on the rules of HORSE: One person takes a shot. If they make it, the other person must make the exact same shot. If they don't, they get a letter of HORSE. The first person to have all the letters of HORSE loses.
The Invite
The night before, I made an invite and stuck it in my husband's lunch. He always grabs a morning snack around 10:00 a.m., meaning he'd have the rest of the day to stretch out and gear up. The invite read as follows:
"Saddle up, because I'm about to knock your socks off in a little game of one-on-one"
(Check out the CUTE printable for your very own invite. Just write YOUR hubby's name in the banner!
Set up and Playing
I printed out the letters of HORSE twice (also see printable for an easy print out of HORSE) and set up my son's Little Tikes basketball hoop in a cleared space of our room! If you don't have a mini basketball hoop, its an easy find for your next quick trip to Wal-Mart or Target! Then, I taped our names on each side of the basketball hoop. I arched the letters of HORSE above each of our names and was set to "knock his socks off."
After our son went to bed, the buzzer went off and it was GAME ON! If either of us were to get a letter of HORSE we would move it from the arch to underneath our name. And to make it a little more intimate, with each letter we would remove a piece of clothing. 😉
The fun doesn't have to stop with Strip Horse, you can play games all night with some board games for the bedroom that Kari created!

LOVE this! Such a cute idea!
Any mini hoop will work! I was even thinking a mini hoop you can hang from the back of your bedroom door! Enjoy 😉
What a fun idea!
Love this idea! Very creative indeed!
Haha! My spouse loves to play NUNO (naked UNO) and each round, the loser removes an article of clothing. Super fun.
NUNO, what a great idea! Sounds like fun!!! Thanks for sharing!
Played this this week and had a blast!
oh my gosh this sounds so fun! my bf will be so surprised!
Another variation would be to use an empty clothes hamper (for those of us without hoops) and any kind of ball ( or other fun item). When you miss the hamper and it's time to strip a piece of clothing you can just throw it in the hamper! If you make your clothing in the hamper your spouse will have to match you. You could even forget the ball and just use clothing…start with a sock, if you make your right sock in then your spouse must make their right sock in. You could risk larger pieces of clothing, but if you miss when it's your turn, then your other half gets to keep theirs on!
Totally played this week (used hoop you hang over the door and it worked fine). It was awesome! Added some additional rules (i.e. sensual fouling encouraged) and added a one & two minute time out card for each player for kissing/fondling. My hubby absolutely loved it. Thanks for this brilliant idea!
Strip Horse was hilarious. Hubby loved it. Started big with the pantygram I saw on another post as the invite. I managed to sneak it in the car so he would find it as he left for work. I used an empty tootsie roll canister and taped the panty corner to the lid so as he opened it they slowly rose out of the decorated canister. There was a sexy little note at the end. I used a few other clues/teasers throughout the week with the printables, mini basketball toy, orange tic tacs, and a little drawing I made of some half naked people (stick figure quality). When he called after work I asked him if he was awake and in a good mood. (we had an unfortunate incident with a middle of the night fire drill and were exhausted so I was worried he wouldn't feel like date night.) but he said, "I'm trying not to speed to get there!" The teasers reallly worked. Had a whole night planned with 4 quarters. 1st quarter – arena style dinner. Chicken strips with honey mustard, boneless BBQ wings, seasoned fries and cokes. 2nd quarter- strip horse with basketball themed playlist. 3rd quarter- two minute warning- a variation of two minutes in heaven with a more seductive playlist, sparkling drinks. 4th quarter- !!!!. Was also planning on a brief half time between strip horse and two minute warning to freshen up before the more hands on game, but we didn't even make it through the whole second quarter before I was being pulled towards the bedroom. It really was a lot of fun. Can't wait to try some other dates.
Forgot to mention we didn't have a basketball hoop but I made a simple backboard (with the red box) and rim out of card stock. Took a few minutes. We used the mini nerd basketball toy I gave him as a teaser.
Wow Heather! You did an amazing job! No wonder your husband enjoyed it! What a great idea to combined different ideas! It makes the date even more extravagant and special! AND all your personal add ons were GREAT! I'm impressed…very diva-ish of you! Glad you enjoyed!
So cute we played it

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - The Westminster College men's basketball team lost, 96-87, at LaRoche in non-conference action on Monday.
Down 33-25 with 4:49 remaining in the first half, the Titans (1-10) went on a 6-2 run to cut LaRoche's lead to 35-31 with 3:10 on the clock. The Redhawks (7-4) responded with a 7-0 run to take its largest lead of the half of 42-31 with 1:36 left and held a 44-38 halftime-lead.
Westminster continued to chip at the Redhawks' lead and eventually tied the game, 58-58, after Titan freshman John Arcuri (Oakmont, PA / Saint Joseph) drained a three-pointer with 10:55 remaining. Westminster went in front, for the first time since mid-way of the first half, when senior Anthony Thomas (New Castle, PA / Union) scored a layup which gave the Titans a 66-65 lead with 8:06 remaining in the game.
LaRoche, only ahead 81-79 with 2:42 on the clock, pulled away with a 10-0 run and led 91-79 for its largest lead of the game with just over a minute remaining.
For the game, LaRoche out-shot Westminster 53% (30-57) to 46% (30-65) and out-rebounded the Titans 35-29.
Four Titans scored in double digits, including two players who scored 20-plus points. Freshman Matt Getsy (Mars, PA / Mars) led Westminster with a career-high 24 points (9-for-14), followed by sophomore Paul Carswell (Painesville, OH / Notre Dame Cathedral Latin) with 20 points. Sophomore Charlie Wallander (Pittsburgh, PA / Baldwin) and Thomas added 18 and 12 points, respectively. Wallander led the Titans on the glass with eight rebounds, while Thomas and Getsy tallied six boards each. Thomas tied a career-high with a game-high four steals.
David Jackson led LaRoche with game-highs of 28 points and 10 rebounds.
Westminster will play at PAC foe Bethany on Wednesday with a tip-off time of 8 p.m.

EAST LANSING (DETROIT FREE PRESS) - Back in 2010, Michigan State's last Big Ten championship team got an unexpected home scare from a bad Purdue team before coming back late to prevail, 35-31.
This wasn't quite as scary and may not mean nearly as much, but the Spartans again had to escape a lowly Boilermakers team at Spartan Stadium to keep title hopes alive. MSU got a touchdown from its defense and one from its offense in a 14-0 win today - the Spartans' first shutout since a 44-0 rout of Florida Atlantic on Sept. 10, 2011.
It's the first shutout of a Big Ten team since a 40-0 win over Northwestern on Nov. 13, 1999.
MSU improves to 6-1, 3-0 Big Ten, and is bowl-eligible after not reaching that mark until the final regular-season game in 2012. Purdue falls to 1-6, 0-3.
Jeremy Langford ran for a career-high 131 yards on 24 carries while Connor Cook recovered from accuracy issues to complete 13 of 25 passes for 107 yards.
It was 7-0 until Tony Lippett hit Andrew Gleichert on a trick play for a 5-yard touchdown pass with 8:55 left in the game. That drive marked the first advance for either team into the red zone.
It was a sleepy and somber Spartan Stadium early, and Purdue took advantage by running right at the MSU defense. The crowd and the MSU sideline finally showed some life when Isaiah Lewis made a terrific play to pick off Danny Etling in the back of the end zone - just getting a foot down inbounds.
But MSU's passing game was not there to help a productive rushing attack move the chains and it was scoreless after a quarter. Early in the second, Etling got going and Purdue moved into MSU territory.
That's when Max Bullough blitzed on third-and-6 from the MSU 44. He blasted Etling before his arm could move forward, the ball popped loose, Denicos Allen picked it up and cruised for a 45-yard touchdown with 10:17 left in the second quarter.
And that's where it stood. And stood and stood and stood, all the way until midway through the fourth quarter. Cook, off the mark for most of the day, hit Lippett for 17 yards. On third-and-11, he found a wide-open Macgarrett Kings Jr. for 25.
A tight end screen to Josiah Price went for 26. And then a trick play got MSU six points in the first red-zone trip for either team.
Cook ran left, flipped to Lippett going right, and he lobbed to a wide-open Gleichert to make it 14-0 Spartans with 8:55 left. The nine-play, 73-yard drive was by far MSU's best offensive sequence of the day, and enough to put the Boilers away.

Nice demo, but I'm skeptical.
I've used Dragon NaturallySpeaking for over 10 years for dictation (not for navigating), and I am generally impressed with its accuracy. But where it stumbles, and stumbles badly, is in the correction mechanisms, especially in programs that do not adhere to specific standards. (It does more or less OK in Microsoft Word, but in third-party programs it can be absolutely miserable.) Dragon does not "remember where the cursor is" for more than the very last dictation in some programs. So you cannot go back very far in a paragraph and say "Select something-or-other" and have Dragon expect to find it.
Moreover in some programs when the correction is used, even though the right material is selected, the cursor seems to lose its place and replace the new text but not completely over the old text -- trust me, it makes a mash of things. When correction become such a hassle, ones enthusiasm for the program dies quickly.
Interestingly, one of the best programs to dictate in is WordPad. Dragon never seems to lose its place in that program.
Incidentally, I have dictated this in Dragon, and have only had to go back and make one correction.

The most common form of service credit is service earned in a position covered by TRF or the Public Employees' Retirement Fund (PERF). Still, there are other methods used to obtain service credit, both for free and for purchase.
Creditable service is the amount of time that can be counted in the calculation of the pension portion of the TRF retirement benefit. TRF members earn one year of service credit for working 120 or more days in a fiscal year. One-half year of credit is earned for working between 60 and 119 days in a fiscal year. Service credit is measured by a fiscal year that runs from July 1 through June 30. Any time worked during a work day entitles members to a full day of service credit. Service arising out of jury duty, sick leave, or worker's compensation may be included. Holidays and weekends are not included.
Only certain types of service credit can be used to count toward a member's 10-year vesting requirement under Indiana law. The following categories of service credit may be recognized and counted toward vesting:
1. Regular Indiana Teaching Service
2. Omitted Contributions
3. Approved leaves of absence
4. Service in a position covered by the Public Employees' Retirement Fund (PERF)
Regular Indiana Teaching Service
One year of regular Indiana teaching service is earned when a member works 120 days or more in the State's fiscal year (July 1 through June 30). One-half year of creditable service is earned for 60 to 119 days of service worked in the fiscal year. An active member is entitled to one day of service credit if the member engages in covered service for a standard workday or any fraction thereof.
To be eligible to claim any in-state service that has been removed due to a voluntary withdrawal, the member must earn at least an additional ½ year of service credit. Members should review their account online to verify their service credit. If the service has not been reinstated, the member should call or write TRF with all pertinent information. TRF requires the member's Social Security number and/or a TRF number. TRF will complete a service credit analysis and send the results to the member.
Omitted Contributions
Eligible members may have taught part-time or substituted in previous years, but the employing unit did not enroll the member or withhold contributions. This is referred to as omitted contributions. Members must meet the eligibility requirements to have this service added to their accounts. Members may claim this service in two ways.
1. If the 3 percent mandatory contributions were paid by the member on a post-tax basis, the member should complete Part I of State Form 41625, Verification of In- State Teaching Service. This form may be obtained on the TRF Web site.
The member should send one form to each employing unit where he/she seeks to confirm service. The employer will complete the form (years, days worked, salary, etc.) and return it to TRF.
If service occurred after July 1, 1995, the Verification of In-State Teaching Service form will not be considered complete unless the employer has paid all contributions in accordance with Indiana Code, Section 5-10.4-7 et seq.
For service prior to 1996, the employer is not required to pay the employer portion of any wage and contribution reporting, but the 3 percent employee contribution must be made. The first two (2) half years (60 days each) of a TRF member's prior substitute teaching does not qualify for omitted wages and contributions. They must be purchased actuarially through INPRS.
For example: Julie is a substitute teacher. She began substituting in 1994.
Today, Julie wants to know how she can get her previous substitute teaching service added to her TRF account.
She can actuarially purchase the service from 1994 through 1996. The service in 1997 is omitted contributions. In order for Julie to get this ½ year of service, the contributions must be made up.
2. If the employer paid the 3 percent mandatory contributions on a pre-tax basis, the employer must submit the missing service, wages, and contributions online using the Adjusted Wage and Contribution reporting option (see the Online Services section of this handbook for more information).
Note: The Adjusted Wage and Contribution option should only be used to report omitted contributions or to make corrections to previously reported data.
Approved Leaves of Absence (see Leave of Absence)
To enter leaves of absence, known as a 'life events,' into Employer Reporting and Maintenance (ERM), go here.
Certain leaves of absence may count toward your vesting requirement. TRF is generally able to recognize leaves of absence granted by a school corporation (employer) for the following reasons.
PERF-Covered Service
Service credit granted by PERF for service in a PERF-covered position counts as creditable service and can be combined with TRF creditable service at the time of retirement. Any overlapping service covered by both TRF and PERF is only credited once.
Members may use the following five other sources of creditable service in the calculation of the State-provided portion of the retirement benefit.
1. Military service credit
2. Out-of-state service credit
3. Additional service credit
4. Private school service credit
5. Substitute teaching service credit
Only substitute teaching, military service, and FMLA count toward vesting with TRF. The other three types of service above do not count for vesting purposes; they only count for pension calculative purposes once the member has the requisite 10 years of Indiana service.
Under the Uniformed Services Employment & Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA), eligible military service earned after the implementation of this Act becomes immediately added and vested. However, prior to this Act, military service is not added or counted toward vesting until after 10 years of active TRF service is earned.
Military Service Credit
A member whose teacher training or teaching career is interrupted by service in the United States Armed Forces may be eligible for up to six years of service credit for time spent in the military. All service during periods of hostility or mobilization counts toward the six-year limit. Military service that occurred during other time periods is subject to the 1/7th rule, meaning no more than 1/7th of the total years of creditable service may be from military service credit.
According to Indiana law, TRF will grant military service credit to a member under the following conditions.
1. Member must have an honorable discharge from active military service.
2. Member must have started approved college teacher training or received a Bachelor's degree in teacher training before induction into active military service; or
3. If the member started but did not complete teacher training before induction into active military service, the member must have returned to four-year college teacher training within 24 months after discharge from active military service.
4. If the member completed college teacher training before induction into active military service, the member must start or return to an actual teaching position within 24 months after discharge from active service.
5. Member must have at least 10 years of Indiana teaching service credit.
Reporting Military Service
The member is required to furnish military documents which show the following:
1. Date of entry into active military service
2. Date of honorable discharge from active military service
Note: Military form DD214 normally provides sufficient information.
If the member completed four years of college but did not teach before induction into active military service, member must provide:
1. Copies of transcripts of college work before induction into active military service.
2. Copies of transcripts of college work after honorable discharge from military service.
If a member needs help locating DD214 or other military records, the member should assemble all possible information concerning his/her military service and contact
National Personnel Records
Military Personnel Records
9700 Page Avenue
St. Louis, MO 63132
(314) 801-0800
It is important for employers to note that non-USERRA military service does not require any information from employers except for a current salary verification. There are specific laws, however, governing an employer's liability regarding USERRA military service. If a member qualifies for USERRA military service, the required information should be reported in ERM when the member returns from service.
Out-of-State Service Credit
Creditable out-of-state service includes:
Service at a federal agency in a position comparable to teaching in Indiana may also qualify. Teachers who became members of TRF prior to July 1, 1981 and who have out-ofstate service prior to July 1, 1981 have specific rights of transfer. Up to eight years of out-of-state service may be added to a member's creditable service at no cost to the member, provided that the member has at least 10 years of creditable Indiana service (not including PERF or military service). The member may not use this service to receive any additional benefits from another state retirement system or the federal retirement system. If the member has not earned 10 years of creditable service, the out-ofstate credit is held in pending status until the member attains the requisite 10 years. If the member does not qualify for free transfer of out-of-state credit, the cost to purchase this type of service is calculated actuarially.
To claim out-of-state service, the member must complete State Form 49530, Verification of Out of State Teaching Service. This form is available on the TRF Web site. The member should complete the form and send it to the out-ofstate school involved. The out-of-state school will complete its portion and send the form to the out-of-state pension fund involved.
Next, the member should send a copy of his or her latest teaching contract to TRF. After TRF has verified the service, TRF will send the member an assessment, along with an IRS Section 415 Limitation form. The member can use the assessment to decide whether or not to buy service. The IRS Section 415 Limitation form can be used to determine how much the IRS will allow the member to put into a taxdeferred fund in one calendar year.
If the member wishes to purchase out-of-state credit, it is necessary to notify TRF. The member must include the specific years to be purchased, a copy of the IRS Section 415 Limitation form, and a check for the amount of purchase. Out-of-state service that entitles a member to a benefit in another state system or any federal retirement system cannot be used in Indiana.
Members should allow a minimum of 60 days for TRF to receive the Out of State Verification form back from the outof- state system.
Teaching out of the country does not qualify for service credit unless the teaching was in a military dependent school covered by the U.S. Department of Defense or teaching was during a qualified leave of absence granted for exchange teaching.
For military dependent teaching service, Form NA 13037-9- 85 is required for proper verification. This form can be obtained at:
National Personnel Records
Civilian Personnel Records
111 Winnebago St.
St. Louis, MO 63118
Additional Service Credit
Members with at least 10 years of combined PERF and TRF service may purchase additional service credit. Once the 10-year requirement has been met, the member may purchase one year for each five years of service credit earned. The cost to purchase this type of service is calculated actuarially.
Private School Service
A member may purchase private teaching service credit if the member has at least one year of credited service in TRF. The cost to purchase this type of service is calculated actuarially. The private school where the service occurred must be accredited in order for this service to count. A list of all accredited private schools is available on the Indiana Department of Education's Web site.
Substitute Teachers
Substitute teachers who are members of the Fund earn one year of service credit if they work 120 days in a fiscal year or between 60 and 119 days per year over two fiscal years. Once the substitute teacher has taught the requisite number of days, he or she becomes a member of the Fund.
Employers must begin making contributions once substitute teachers become members of the Fund. Retroactive payments by the employer are not required for service prior to the teacher reaching the required number of days needed to attain member status.
Once these teachers achieve membership status and earn one full year of service as a member, they may purchase prior substitute or part-time teaching service, which is calculated actuarially. To do this, the member must complete the Verification of Prior In-State Teaching (State Form 41625), Part 1, and forward it to the employing school district for completion of Part 2. This form is available on the INPRS Web site. The cost of the service in question is then calculated by TRF and an invoice is sent to the member. If the member chooses to purchase the service credit, a check must be sent to TRF for the invoiced amount. No employer contributions are required for this service credit.
Leave of Absence
TRF members who are teachers may earn credit for eligible leaves of absence if the leave is approved by the school board of the corporation granting the leave. To receive service credit for a leave of absence, the employer must submit the life event through the ERM reporting system. Sabbatical leave for advanced study, work experience, teacher exchange programs, or approved educational travel require the teacher to return to a covered position for the same length of time as the leave. Leave for disability, pregnancy, or adoption does not require a return to service. All leaves of absence, except USERRA military service, are subject to the one-seventh (1/7th) rule, meaning no more than 1/7th of the total years of creditable service may be from leave of absence service credit.
The following rules are in place regarding the addition of service credit to a member's account. It is important to note that each rule is applicable only to certain types of service credit.
1/7th Rule (One-Seventh Rule)
1/5th Rule (One-Fifth Rule)
Minimum of One Year
10-Year Requirement
TRF may accept funds for the purchase of service in the form of a rollover from another tax-deferred retirement plan as defined in the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA). This trustee-to-trustee transfer should not be for more than the cost to purchase the service. Any excess amount is deposited in a Rollover Savings Account (RSA).
Note: The price paid to purchase service is the actuarially calculated amount required to fund the Defined Benefit Pension. Therefore, this amount is not added to the member's ASA. In the event the member terminates service prior to retirement eligibility, the purchase price plus interest as described in IC 34-13-1-6 is included in the refund to the member if the member withdraws his or her ASA. If the member returns to work in a TRF-covered position and the money has been refunded, the purchased service credit cannot be reinstated without purchasing it again.
Service in a Dual Position
35 IAC 14-4-2 dictates that whenever an individual is employed by the same employer in a position which requires the performance of covered and non-covered service, contributions shall be paid from the portion of the annual compensation attributable to the covered service.
A member's service credit record receives an official evaluation at the time of retirement. Any service credit granted to a member must comply with the laws in effect at the time of retirement. TRF encourages members to request a service credit analysis approximately two years prior to retirement to allow for additional verification and correction if needed.

Homeland Is Back With This Gripping New Trailer
Why Showtime decided to drop such a bomb during a time when news is typically buried beats us. But, we're glad they did. Now we get to go to our parties tonight and be the only ones who have seen Carrie Mathison back in action after last season's (spoiler alert!) killing of Nicholas Brody.
Based on the first footage, it looks like the series is doing a complete reboot. That's probably a good thing, considering both fans and critics accused the show of jumping the shark after the groundbreaking first season. Now that the Brodys are out of the picture, Carrie and Saul can go back to doing what they do best: spying.
The majority of the season takes place in Pakistan and Afghanistan and features the return of Rupert Friend and F. Murray Abraham, as well as newcomers Corey Stoll, Suraj Sharma, Laila Robins, and Michael O'Keefe.
The fourth season of Homeland premieres on Sunday, October 5. Check out the first look below.

Lenovo profit triples as work PCs roar back
updated 08:00 am EDT, Thu May 26, 2011
Lenovo outperforms market expectations
Lenovo has reported a strong fourth-quarter with its profit tripling on the back of higher than expected demand from commercial customers. Lenovo reported a net profit of $42.13 million for the period January to March, a boost of $12.8 million from the corresponding year ago quarter. This more than compensated for a slow down in consumer PC demand, the result of strong demand for tablet and smartphone devices.
"Momentum in commercial PC demand has gradually picked up, benefitting from the corporate refresh cycle, while consumer PC demand weakened due to a worsening macroeconomic environment and increasing competition from tablet products," the company said in a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange.
The company has plans to counter the drop off in consumer demand by launching its own entries into the tablet and smartphone space. These include planned US launches of the IdeaPad Tablet K1 tablet and the LePhone.
Lenovo's shares were up .7 percent prior to the outperforming announcement. [via Reuters]

November 25, 2015
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Federal Reserve is proposing for the first time to police banks' pay policies to ensure they don't encourage employees to take reckless gambles like those that contributed to the financial crisis.
Unlike a Treasury plan to slash pay at certain companies that were bailed out with large sums of taxpayer money, the Fed proposal would cover thousands of banks, including many that never received a bailout.
The Fed would not actually set compensation. Instead, the central bank would review - and could veto - pay policies that could cause too much risk-taking by executives, traders or loan officers.

More than 50 people signed up to receive mammogram screenings during Ruidoso's Health and Wellness Fair Wednesday at the Ruidoso Convention Center. But many others showed up to learn about different health products, to receive a flu shot from staff of the local public health clinic, to be screened for specific conditions and to enjoy massage and other relaxation treatments.

Venise is an all-round community, having a corner for every subject.
It is our job to provide a pleasant environment with a good and healthy atmosphere to discuss, share and care among our members.
Since i just finished it i don't have much members, although i have a small steady base (, better than nothing ).
As soon as content pours in it will be saving itself and i think more people will join, but it's always the first handfull which takes the most effort to get.
So if people see we've got a few active members, more will join, after that they will see we have many members and more will join.
I hope this service will be able to help me out.
Best regards,
Venise - Your port towards community

"Criticism jockey" is the most apt, most succinct and, if I'm honest, most flattering description possible of what it is I've been doing with the Daily since it launched as an appendage to GreenCine in May 2003; there'd be a brief stopover at IFC before settling here at MUBI, where it well and truly belonged. I wish I'd come up with the term myself, but it comes from Paul Brunick, specifically, from a brief section on a "new kind of editor-as-aggregator" in his two-part survey of the state of film criticism for Film Comment (parts 1 and 2). Nearly a year on now, the piece more than holds up; you can practically watch the passing days, weeks and months proving his point: "Cinephilia generally and film criticism specifically are being profoundly transformed by the technologies of the Web. Where this process will end is hard to say; after all, today's cutting edge is tomorrow's primitivist phase. But what's clear is that film commentary, far from being exhausted, has barely begun to tap its evolutionary potential. And that's inherently exciting, undeniably fascinating." And finally, he adds, "if you're longing for a transformative decade, then look around. You're living in one. Try to enjoy it while it lasts."
The word that leaps out to me here is "enjoy." Back in 2007, Nick Dawson asked me about the mechanics of keeping the Daily rolling and, reading that informal interview now, I can see that what were already irritations and dissatisfactions then have since grown into something larger and more serious. In short, I've been skimming the surface far too exhaustively (and exhaustingly) for far too long, and it's time for me to step back from the noise and gather a little perspective. This doesn't mean I'll be disappearing altogether. With The Notebook, Danny Kasman has created the best regularly updated publication devoted to cinema and, once my head clears, I look forward to submitting contributions. And of course, whenever I stumble over an item of interest, you can be sure I'll be tweeting it via @thedailyMUBI. For now, though, even if only for a while, I need to take the needle off the record.

This is not welcome news for those of us who look forward to your contributions David, but I can certainly understand the desire to take a breather after all the greats links and news you've provided. I hope the contributions you will continue to make will be frequent, even if not as regular as before, and even more I hope that you get a chance to write more on your own. Thanks for the all the work you've done here.
A well-earned rest! Enjoy it, David.
NOOOOOoooooooo!!! (Wishing you all the best, David, and thanks for the past eight years. My fingers remain crossed that one day you'll return to doing this magnificent thing that apparently only you are capable of doing.)
Truly well deserved break, David. Of course, it's a shot in the arm for us lazy bums and greenhorns, especially when it comes to film fest coverage. (The thought of Venice going uncovered by you is terrifying).
But, man, have I been hooked to this column?! The round ups were truly a revelation and their exhaustive and meticulous structure amounted to amazing reviews by themselves, It's the great work that you did regularly that helped us to put things into perspective. This will really be irreplaceable.
Thanks for all the scoop, David. Looking forward to future contributions, even if not in same format. All the best and cheers!
[a standing ovation, not as impressive in text, but still…]
Take a bow, sir.
You set the bar, David. Have a good rest.
Take a bow, sir.
A break, you have earned it, sir, definitely, for sure! Looking forward to your triumphant return!
David, you have been the lifeline for me in my entrance and participation in this film community and so of course this is not the most welcome of news for me, or any of us, selfishly speaking, who have made you our home page for so many years.
That said, I can't even conceive of the level of commitment and passion it must take to do what you do, and if anyone deserves the time off it's you.
Thank you so much for everything you've done over the past six years that I've known you. I look forward to what you have in store when the needle hits the vinyl once again.
Rest up David… but this is sad news for us all, you will be sorely missed.
As an editor and aggregator, you've set a very high bar, David, and made an incredible contribution to my cinematic education by pointing me to articles and writers who have enlightened and enraged.
Yet it's your own writing, peeking out only occasionally, that seems the most refreshing of all. Here's hoping that the break gives you the opportunity to recharge your batteries and return in whatever capacity feels best to you.
My first thought was I can't go through this again – even the short absences between the last three stops were excrutiating thanks to the essential, meticulous work you do. But as someone enjoying a break myself, let me concur that you deserve one. (Forgive me though for hoping you're able to recharge your batteries quickly, because we're all going to miss you dearly while you're away.)
You'll be missed, David but I hope you enjoy your summer break. I look forward to your updates at MUBI but I'll keep a closer look on your Twitter page now. What you do here is invaluable and I can only imagine the commitment and hours that must go into it. Cheers!
You sure do take a lot of breaks.
Your work with the Daily has been a vital part of how I consume film criticism by and large ever since you began writing here in The Notebook. Your efforts have been invaluable, and I've appreciated the help and attention you've given my own work as well.
A soldier of cinema.
Good for you, David. Enjoy the break!
Well deserved, David. Thanks for all you've done for this strange little community of ours.
Break a break!
Well put, David. I hope you can enjoy your time off and look forward to your future contributions. As the sole non-local writer to pump events at my place of employment, your efforts have been more than appreciated. Please let me know if you're even in Philadelphia and you'll get the king's treatment at our theater and I've still got your address to mail off a Pop Cinema book to you once I get a few other things done this summer first. I will have to subscribe to a lot more blogs and twitter feeds now too! On that note, maybe something effusive to update the community on in the future would be how you have found places to pay attention to in the past and possibly even some or all of your RSS or Twitter links, so that we might all keep up on our own.
Thanks again!
*even = ever, blahblah!
Thank you for the irreplaceable service, David. I surely hope MUBI continues with the "criticism jockeying". Even 50% capacity would be worth something considering the high level of continued excellence you have given us.
Sad news, if understandable. Enjoy the break, we all look forward to seeing what you come up with next.
Very well deserved rest. You know I owe ya everything, right?
Me too. Enjoy it.
David, you've done a splendid job all these years. You've provided a model of painstaking, discerning coverage. We're all in your debt, and you deserve a rest (with time for watching more movies, I hope).
You clearly deserve it – you are in my opinion one of the finest propagators of cinephilia. Thanks for your tremendous work. Have a good one.
David, I hope you enjoy a truly deserved break. I would be lost without your wonderful posts. I also love the fact that you do not restrict your posts only to film but cover other aspects related to cinema. One of your posts last week certainly came to my aid. Last week I was in New York for a few days and if it were not for your mention of Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Primitive installation at the New Museum, I would have missed that incredible experience. So thanks for all your hard work :)
Whatever will we do, besides miss you terribly?
Best of luck David…Thanks for everything you've done to help establish a greater sense of community for film bloggers and for all the encouragement you always managed to provide. Just a simple link from you was enough to keep me going for months…B-)
Take care,

Aircraft Aluminum Polishing
Posted by Jay Schneider. Filed under Aviation.
December 16, 2010
Hmmm….aluminum polishing - a task that is close to may heart! As an FAA Licensed Air Frame and Power, (Engineer for those in other than in the US), I have thousands of hours experience on this daunting task that some say is one of the most demanding and frustrating surfaces to brighten. Fact is some say it IS the hardest substrate to polish correctly. This blog series will cover the entire spectrum of aircraft aluminum polishing.
How to approach the surface. There are many theories covering the topic of polishing aircraft aluminum – or commonly called Alclad or clad aluminum. Alclad is a trademark of Alcoa used as a generic term to describe corrosion resistant aluminum sheet formed from high-purity aluminum surface layers metallurgically bonded to a high strength aluminum alloy core material. Alclad is heat-treated aluminum, copper, manganese, magnesium alloy that has the corrosion resistance of pure metal at the surface and the strength of the strong alloy underneath. This process adds decades to the expected life-time expectancy to the aircraft structural part provided the aluminum was properly heat treated. If improperly cared for, aluminum will oxidize after sometime and corrode as does most non-ferrous metals. Prior to polishing, let's take a look at some of the surface detriments aluminum can behold – this way we will have a good over all snap shot of what we are dealing with:
Electrolytic Corrosion
I prefer to use this term when moisture is present creating an electrolyte to permit electron flow. The moisture may come from condensation after takeoff as the trapped air cools at altitude or after landing as the cool aircraft causes condensation of the local humidity. This is very insidious and is part of the reason for commercial airliners to have the lower skin replaced periodically. It usually happens at the faying (that's an old ship builder's term) surfaces. Sometimes you cannot find it until you have taken rivets out and separated the parts (rib from skin, etc).Salt Water Corrosion
This I consider an extreme form of Electrolytic corrosion but it is one that just about everyone understands. This is what Navy aircraft have to fight the most. In most specifications for a new airplane the Navy will give a minimum thickness of aluminum alloy such as .026 inch. Anything thinner loses a high percentage of its strength by the time corrosion is noticed.Galvanic Corrosion
This type of corrosion is galvanic corrosion that is accelerated by being in the path of an electrical power circuit.Intergranular Corrosion
This can be caused by poor processing during manufacture of the alloy (hence the need to be sure it meets a given specification). Usually it is caused by selecting the wrong chemical in attempting a conversion coating on a given alloy. Poor control of heat treatment processing is also a cause.
Over-etching aluminum can cause this type of corrosion.Exfoliation Corrosion
This type of corrosion is similar to intergranular corrosion except the corrosion follows grain boundaries and "large" chunks fall out. Extrusions can be susceptible where grain boundaries are stretched and/or rough surfaces occur during the extruding process.Fretting Corrosion
Fretting corrosion is caused by two surfaces rubbing together at a very small amplitude.Stress Corrosion
The high-strength heat-treatable wrought aluminum alloys in certain tempers are susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking, depending upon the product, section size, direction and magnitude of stress.
Stress corrosion cracking is where the internal stresses (residual stresses) vary across a section so that when they are loaded with additional outside forces, the grain boundaries at the surface start to break. When a part (sheet, extrusion, etc) is quenched and the outside layer cools too quickly, tension stresses are set up on the outside and compression stresses in the middle. This is sometimes taken care of by stretching or shot peening.
Local stresses (assembly stresses) can also be caused by selection of too small diameter of high shear fasteners (such as bolts), shrink or press fits, taper pins, and clevis joints in which tightening of the bolt imposes a sustained bending load on the clevis lugs.Embrittlement
Improper heat treatment can cause an embrittlement of an otherwise ductile material. Titanium makes a very good light weight spring but Titanium embrittlement can be caused by Cadmium. The cadmium, under pressure and/or heat, will flow (infuse) between the grains of titanium. This weakens the grain boundaries and when the titanium is stressed, a crack will initiate.
Cad plate applied on steel bolts and not subsequently baked can cause the bolts to break from "hydrogen embrittlement.Galling
Galling is a condition where two parts (made from the same alloy) slide over one another and start marring or gouging the surface between them.References

Now that we have an understanding of some of aluminum surface detriments, we can determine what steps to take to correct the problems and brighten the finish. Which is how we will start my next blog -

Evgeni Malkin in Los Angeles
TSN is reporting that JP Barry and Evgeni Malkin have been together since the beginning of his dissapearance in Finland. On Wednesday Malkin received a US visa from the embassy in Helsinki and a few hours later were in route to the US.
The story includes that Magnitogorsk had Malkin's passport until his trip to Finland, and this was the first opportunity for Malkin to be in control of it. There was also pressure from the team officials who followed Malkin in Russia to his home and pressured him into signing into staying in Magnitogorsk.

Can Tech Ruin the Kim Pham Murder Trial?
By Charles Lam
"Are drugs really a problem on campus?" Mimura asked.
Crime statistics on the UCI police website suggest the answer is no (see www.police.uci.edu/statistics/uci99.html). On the main campus, there were only three narcotics felony arrests last year. With all the felonies charged in this one sting operation, the force can now claim to have already matched last year's total.
Vera Cruz vented his own frustrations in Filibusters, an alternative journal jointly put out by Asian and Latino students at UCI, which he helped edit. "I've been following the white man's laws for over 22 years, and where has it gotten me? Nowhere," he wrote. Writing about the court process, he declared, "Whereas I had built myself to become a 'law-abiding' citizen that excelled academically and careerwise, these strangers who never met me before, who don't know who I really am . . . had the power to put me in jail, slap a criminal record on me so that I can't get a job, and ruin the future I aimed for."

Lil' guy loves his cool shades
My 5 year old loves these and they look great on him. Got him white frames w/ the red/orange lenses. Love the UV protection of the Spectron lenses, the high styling and the kid-friendly fit. These are winners...
Nice glasses, turquoise more like blue
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
These are good... a little big on my daughter's head but nice overall. The turquoise shown in the picture is more like royal blue.
Great construction
- Familiarity:I returned this product before using it
I purchased these for my seven year old daughter and everything fit well except the nose bridge was too wide (Asian nose...for reference) and the frames sat on her cheeks.
These glasses are well made and I wish they would have fit my daughter's face better but it was an easy return with Backcountry. Props to Julbo for making performance eyewear for kids!
Thanks for the review! I have the exact same need. Were you able to find glasses that fit her?
Hi Lili,
After trying on many pairs of glasses (including Oakley, Under Armor, Peppers, and so forth) a pair of Suncloud Champ polarized sunglasses worked for my daughter. They are boys sunglasses but she was so excited they fit her she didn't mind. Hope this helps in your search!
super glasses
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
- Fit:True to size
Bought these for my 6 year old daughter. They are more stylish than some of the more active glasses (she's a little diva!) but still stay on very well. Have not had any problems and plan to use them for a second summer.

UAE, Bangladesh sign agreements on avoidance of double taxation, investments …
Bangladesh will sign a number of agreements with UAE, including 'avoidance of double taxation and 'promotion and protection of investments' during Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's four-day stay here.
Talking to Khaleej Times on the sidelines of the fourth World Future Energy Summit (WFES 2011), which is also attended by the Prime Minister, Ambassador Mohammed Nazmul Quaunine said: "The business and investment opportunities between the two countries are fast growing. The Prime Minister during her four-day stay will discuss all these and other bilateral issues with the UAE leadership. The two countries will also sign a number of agreements, including avoidance double taxation and protection and promotion of investments."
The ambassador said the Prime Minister's engagements include meetings with government officials, investors, community members and Bangladeshi businessmen in the country.
For the first time, the Bangladesh delegation is attending the summit with a 30-member strong business leaders who will be holding talks with their counterparts in UAE (home to over half a million Bangladeshis) on various investment and trade exchange issues.
The ambassador further said, besides meeting top level leaders, Hasina will also discuss with local officials issues, such as manpower.
"Given the potential, volume of present bilateral trade is not significant but this is expected to rise in coming years. In financial year 2009-10, UAE-Bangladesh trade volume was $506.72 million, which is 19.61 per cent less than the previous fiscal year of $606.13.million," The UAE imports from Bangladesh for the 2009-10 were at $65.82 million, which was 14.87 per cent higher than the previous year ($56.03 million). Export from UAE was $550.10 million in 2009-10. Main exports from the UAE are crude oil and fertilizer while Bangladesh exports were mainly ready-made garments, dry foods and other consumables goods.
"The embassy has been working for the last two years to have necessary framework and agreements for expansion of business and investment cooperation. As part of that, we have been so far able to finalise the two agreements that will be signed during the Prime Minister's stay.

|Effect of carvedilol on portal pressure estimated by hepatic vein Doppler ultrasound waveform and damping index in cirrhotic patients.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20810049 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of Carvedilol in reducing portal pressure estimated non-invasively by studying Doppler ultrasound waveforms (DUS) and hepatic vein Damping Index (DI).
STUDY DESIGN: Quasi-experimental study.
PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY: Department of Medical ICU in collaboration with Department of Radiology, JPMC, over a period of 6 months (June 1st to 30th November, 2008).
METHODOLOGY: Of the enrolled 65 patients, 47 patients (33 males and 14 females) completed the study. The mean age was 47.4 years. Cirrhotic patients of Hepatitis B, C, D (delta), B and C combined, B and D combined with varying degrees of portal hypertension were included in the study. Cirrhotic patients with bronchial asthma, congestive heart failure, Insulin dependent Diabetes, portal vein thrombosis and hepatorenal syndrome were excluded from the study. The patients were examined by color flow Doppler of the right hepatic vein before and after administration of Carvedilol. Their waveforms and Damping Index (DI) were recorded and compared by Wilcoxon signed ranks test through SPSS version 12.0. Responders were described as those showing a positive change in wave forms or a decrese of 0.10 or more in DI.
RESULTS: Of the 47 patients, 30 (63%) showed a positive response and 10 (21%) showed no favorable response to Carvedilol, while 7 (14%) patients showed deterioration. The mean DI on DUS dropped from 0.62 to 0.41 in responders after treatment, while in the non-responders it ranged between 0.42 and 0.57.
CONCLUSION: Ultrasonography Carvedilol reduced portal pressure of cirrhotic patients, as measured indirectly by the damping index of hepatic waveform by Doppler.

Problem with logon screen

I have a minor problem with a logon screen that I have modified. I used it to insert in my unattended XP CD. I copied it system32 folder, I named it landscape.exe then I called it by a registry tweak named welcome.reg which I attached it. I tested my CD on virtual box it installs fine but when it gets to logon screen the only thing I see it`s the image. No usernames and it stays that way. What seems to be the problem? Why the usernames don`t appear on logon screen?
