These fins are perfect for snorkeling. They are fairly large so you get alot of ride for a little effort. But they are still lightweight and very comfortable. They are so soft that I didnt have any blisters or irritation, even on the first day I used them. They also came with a handy net bag with shoulder strap. All in all, a perfect choice.

This dive skin was wonderful. Lightweight and comfortable, it keeps you slightly warm and sunburn-free while snorkeling for hours. It also protects from jellyfish and scraped knees and elbows in the shallows. I wore it under a shorty wetsuit on long outings and by itself for shorter ones. Highly recommend!

Heat of combustion
Woodburning fireplace generating heat. Source: Francisco Belard
The heat of combustion (ΔH c0) is the energy released as heat when a substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen. The chemical reaction for combustion is typically that of a hydrocarbon fuel reacting with oxygen derived from atmospheric air to form gaseous carbon dioxide, water vapor and heat. For example:
methane + oxygen ⇒ carbon dioxide + water vapor
The heat of combustion may be quantified with these units:
● energy per mole of fuel, such as kilojoule per mol (kJ/mol) or British thermal unit per pound-mol (Btu/lb-mol)
● per mass of fuel, such as megajoule per kilogram (MJ/kg) or British thermal unit per pound (Btu/lb)
● energy per volume of fuel, such as megajoule per cubic meter (MJ/m3) or British thermal unit per cubic foot (Btu/ft3)
The heat of combustion is usually measured with a bomb calorimeter. It may also be calculated as the difference between the heat of formation (ΔH f0) of the products and reactants.
Common expressions for the heat of combustion of fuels
The heat of combustion of a fuel is commonly referred to as the heating value or the caloric value and briefly defined as the amount of heat released when a unit amount of the fuel is completely combusted. The heating value is a unique characteristic of each specific fuel.
The heating value of a fuel may be categorized as either the higher heating value (HHV) or the lower heating value (LHV).[1][2] The HHV is also known as the gross heating value (GHV) or the gross caloric value (GCV) and the LHV is also known as the net heating value (NHV) or the net caloric value (NCV).
More completely defined, the HHV is the amount of heat released when a unit amount of fuel at a given initial temperature (usually 20 °C or 25 °C) is completely combusted at stoichiometric conditions and constant pressure with the combustion products being cooled to the initial temperature and any water vapor produced being condensed. Condensing any water vapor produced during determination of the HHV means that the HHV includes the heat of vaporization (ΔH v0 or more simply H v) of the water produced. Stoichiometric combustion means that the combustion products do not contain any oxygen (i.e., there was no excess combustion air during the combustion).
The LHV is similarly defined except that any water in the combustion products is not condensed and remains as a vapor. Thus, the LHV does not include the heat of vaporization of the water produced.
The relation between the HHV and the LHV may be simply expressed as:
LHV = HHV – Hv
Fuel gases and fuel liquids usually contain little, if any, water. However, raw solid fuels like coal, wood or peat do contain significant amounts of water. Coal, in particular, also contains significant amounts of non-combustible minerals that form ash when the coal is combusted.
More expressions for fuel heating values
Both the HHV's and LHV's of fuels (especially coal and other solid fuels) can be be further sub-categorized and expressed as:[3]
● As Received (AR): Indicates the the fuel heating value was measured with all inherent moisture and ash forming minerals present.
● Moisture Free (MF) or Dry: Indicates that the fuel heating value was measured after the fuel has been dried of all inherent moisture but still retained its ash forming minerals.
● Moisture and Ash Free (MAF) or Dry and Ash Free (DAF): Indicates that the fuel heating value has been measured in the absence of both inherent moisture and ash forming minerals.

Cubs' Bullpen 'Paper-Thin'
The Cubs will not compete for the post season with its current bullpen.
Not during an age of multi-million dollar contracts and limited pitch counts for starters.
Bruce Levine of ESPN Radio 1000 described the Cubs' bullpen as 'paper-thin.' I couldn't agree more.
Early reports on Angel Guzman's sore shoulder have listed him as questionable throughout the spring.
And it's possible the righty isn't back at full-strength before Opening Day, which spells serious trouble for Jim Hendry.
Low-level free agents and Spring Training invites won't cut it, either–Hendry's got to make a deal.
I figure my idea would never fly–bounce Marmol back to the seventh and eighth innings and deal for a proven closer.
I mean seriously, what good is Marmol if you can't get him the lead in the ninth inning?
Nonetheless, Hendry has less than 40 days to improve the middle-inning arms–and it's imperative the GM trades whatever necessary to get them.

Inspirational bicyclist
Two battles with cancer, but hasn't missed Pan-Mass ride in 12 years
PORTSMOUTH --- Elizabeth Fregeau already was contemplating riding in the 2001 Pan-Mass Challenge when she received news that would solidify her desire to support the Dana-Farber Cancer Center in Boston, the bicycling event's beneficiary.
A mother of two, Fregeau was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000 and immediately underwent surgery, followed by chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
By April 2001, she was in remission. That August, she completed her first two-day, 163-mile ride from Wellesley, Mass., to Province-town, at the tip of Cape Cod.
The experience was so powerful, Fregeau has returned every year since, even following a bout with a different type of breast cancer in 2010. Although her course of treatment did not wrap up until June of that year, and included a double mastectomy, by August she was back on her bike.
Her oncologist and others advised against it.
"She said, 'I'm behind you, but you have to know you have nothing left in the tank.'" Fregeau said, recalling the conversation with the doctor. "She was concerned, but she also knew I had to do what I had to do."
And she did, completing the two-day ride with family and friends cheering along the way.
The most significant moment that year came near the end of the ride, when Fregeau, still bald and wondering if she was going to make it, saw her two daughters, Emily, now 18, and Caroline, now 14, at the finish line. They had often seen their mother start the ride but had never seen her finish.
It is a memory that still causes Fregeau to choke up when talking about it.
This August, at 49, she will ride for the 13th consecutive year, with the support of her daughters, many friends and family, and her boyfriend of seven years.
"It's an incredible ride - the people you meet, the reason why you do it," Fregeau said.
Her first year participating in the Challenge, she had planned to ride in memory of a friend's mother who had lost her battle with breast cancer.
Now, she rides not only for those who have lost, but those who have survived. And she continues to spread a message of hope bred from the research done at Dana-Farber that has helped her to stay alive.
Now in its 34th year, the Pan-Mass Challenge raises more money for charity than any other single athletic fundraising event in the country, according to Dana-Farber.
On Aug. 3 and 4, Fregeau will be among 5,500 cyclists, including 143 others from New Hampshire, who will ride with the collective goal of raising $38 million to support patient care and cancer research at Dana-Farber.
To date, Fregeau alone has raised nearly $87,000 for the cause.
She said riding in the Pan-Mass Challenge is a way to give back to everyone fighting all kinds of cancers.
She also gives back in other ways.
In 2003, she helped to start a breast-cancer support group called "Breast Friends," which has grown to 700 members representing cancer survivors and current cancer patients.
In July, Fregeau joined other survivors in a ride around the warning track of Fenway Park, where she met other women in earlier stages of treatment. They were able to talk about their experiences, and Fregeau was able to give them some hope.
She said she used to ask her mother why this was happening to her. She was otherwise healthy, ate well, exercised.
Her mom suggested that it may be so she could be an inspiration to others. And she is, even in the way she simply lives her life each day.
"I definitely think I kind of live in the moment more," she said. "I appreciate the little things more."

What is ProState Relief?
ProState Relief is a safe' non-addictive' FDA-registered natural remedy containing 100% homeopathic ingredients selected to relieve urgency and frequent urination in men.
ProState Relief can also be taken for the relief of symptoms like weakened urine flow' the feeling that the bladder is not completely empty even after urination' and the urge to urinate frequently at night.
ProState Relief is taken internally and relieves symptoms without troublesome side effects. ProState Relief is easy to ingest and hassle-free with no artificial colors or preservatives.
All Native Remedies homeopathic products and biochemic tissue salts are manufactured in an FDA and GMP registered pharmaceutical facility under the supervision of qualified homeopaths and responsible pharmacists. Individual ingredients are listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS).
The Temporary Relief of Urinary Urgency
The prostate is a gland located just below the bladder in men. The prostate's main function is to produce fluid for semen' but the prostate also surrounds the urethra' the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the penis.
In most men' the prostate grows throughout adulthood. Aging can result in bothersome urinary symptoms such as weak urine flow or dribbling urine when finished.
Other symptoms include not being able to completely empty the bladder' as well as frequent urination at night. The prostate plays an important role in sexual function' producing 85%-90% of the fluid volume produced during ejaculation. So' a healthy prostate gland is important for proper sexual function.
The Natural Way
There are ways to naturally lessen the symptoms associated with frequent urination. Do not delay urination once you experience an urge.
Avoid drinking liquids after 6 pm to reduce the need to urinate frequently during the night' but do drink eight glasses of water during the day to help prevent bacteria from accumulating in the bladder. Try drinking cranberry juice four times a day to increase the acidity of the urine' especially if you feel burning sensations when urinating.

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Issues Guidance on Essential Health Benefits
On Dec. 16, 2011, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released an information bulletin outlining how it plans to implement the Affordable Care ActÆs requirement that insurance plans offer at least a minimum set of essential health benefits. This guidance is important because it sheds light on what kinds of services will be available to individuals enrolled in the Medicaid expansion and in plans on their stateÆs health insurance exchange.
Under the Affordable Care Act, individuals who are newly eligible for insurance coverage will be enrolled in benchmark plans. These plans must cover at least the essential health benefits package, which includes ten specified categories:
In the bulletin, HHS announced that it intends to give states flexibility in selecting a benchmark plan that reflects the scope of services offered by a ōtypical employer planö in their state. The possible benchmark insurance plans are:
The default benchmark if a state does not select one of the above options is the small group plan with the largest enrollment in the state.
Compliance With Federal Parity Required
Of particular importance to NAMI, the bulletin confirms that mental illness treatment services are a required benefit category that these benefits must be offered at parity with medical/surgical benefits. If the plan that is selected as the stateÆs benchmark plan does not currently include these services at parity, modifications must be made to the benchmark plan. Parity applies to individual plans as well as small group plans ¢ a provision that was inserted into the law due to an amendment by Senator Debbie Stabenow of Michigan during the health reform debate. This amendment makes clear that all plans offered through the state Exchanges must comply with the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008. NAMI is extremely grateful for Senator StabenowÆs leadership in ensuring that parity is broadly applied to insurance products sold in the exchanges.
Concerns Regarding State Flexibility
Of particular concern to NAMI are some of the options available to states for selecting a benchmark plan for Essential Health Benefits. While adherence to parity will be a critical feature, it is worth noting that in many states, the largest small employer plan may still contain gaps in coverage that parity cannot resolve. For example, in the case of prescription drug benefits, the bulletin specifically notes that coverage can be limited to a single medication in each therapeutic class. The bulletin also declares that critical access protections under the Medicare Part D plans will not apply as part of Essential Health Benefits. This includes a requirement for plans to include ōall or substantially allö of the medications in certain therapeutic classes such as antipsychotics and antidepressants.
Public Comments on Essential Health Benefits
HHS will be collecting public comments on its proposed approach through the end of January 2012. NAMI will be submitting comments and developing model comments for state and local affiliates to submit as well.

The government has been advised to train more entomologists so that they can assist farmers maximise production by identifying pests that spoil crops, particularly in the cotton growing Lake Zone area.
This was said by Prof Hosea Kayumbo in an interview on Friday who pointed out that training of extension entomologists would make a difference in guiding and advising farmers on pest control instead of relying much on the use of insecticide.
He said, most of the insecticides are wasted because they are applied when the insect population has not reached a threshold or when they have already done irreparable damage. So it is important to apply the insecticides timely.
Through this method, he said, much insecticide could be saved and the farmers could get more harvest.
Presently farmers understand the insects that are harmful to their crops and the kind of damage they cause to them, he said.
"What farmers do not know is that there are other insects that are useful to the farmers. These naturally occurring 'enemies' are in fact friendly to the farmer as they devour pests," he said.
"By using insecticides wrongly we may be killing these useful or friendly insects and make the insect problem much worse," he said.
This is true for cotton as well as for food crops like maize, as well as commercial crop like coffee, he noted.
More could be done to advise the farmers if there were enough extension entomologists deployed to assist them on the judicious use of insecticides, he said.
Prof Kayumbo believes that there is much that can be done to assist the farmers raise food production in a move to liberate them.
This can only be achieved by making a combined use of fertilisers and insecticides on well grown crops that are sown timely, he said.
"Increase in yields cannot be achieved when insecticides are applied on late planted weedy plots," he said.
"Presently insects, pests and disease are still the major concern for farmers country-wide in that they reduce the share of production," Prof Kayumbo said.

Recently, the national swimming team finished last at the Africa zone three and four championship in Mozambique.
The terrible performance revealed that we still have a long way to go before we can comfortably hold our own against African powerhouses in the sport, such as South Africa and Botswana.
Sadly though, over the years, it has become almost common for local swimmers to produce shoddy displays on the continental and global stage.
But arguably, what is even more worrying is the indifferent attitude that the local sports fraternity as a whole exhibits towards this embarrassing trend of poor results.
Granted, although admittedly, swimming is a low-profile sport in the country, it is still incumbent upon sports stakeholders to show more concern when any of the sports in the domestic arena is not in rude health.
After all, any country which prides itself on its fervent passion for sports cannot truly be regarded as such if it neglects a particular sport that is in urgent need of serious attention.
One feels then that the Tanzania Swimming Association (TSA), the authorities and local sports fraternity need to join forces in a bid to improve the fortunes of local swimming. A long-term plan towards this end seems like the right course of action to take and this blueprint should encompass ways and means of addressing the challenges which face the sport.
For instance, one major challenge that needs to be overcome is the lack of adequate swimming pools around the country. Arguably though, the negative perception that Tanzania is almost incapable of producing quality swimmers in the mould of say a Michael Phelps, will undoubtedly prove infinitely harder to tackle.
Indeed, it appears that our society needs to be constantly reminded that any country can succeed in whichever sport if and only if it massively invests in the development of the sport in question, which has been sorely lacking as far as local swimming is concerned. Thus, it is hoped that all stakeholders can use the recent disappointing showing of the national swimming team as an opportunity to improve local swimming.

The Duckworth Lewis Method is also the title of the group's only album, which was released on 3 July 2009, a few days before the start of the 2009 Ashes series. A concept album about cricket, the album has 12 tracks, one of which is an instrumental. The album was mixed and recorded in Dublin and was mastered at Abbey Road Studios. Hannon and Walsh have described their album as "a kaleidoscopic musical adventure through the beautiful and rather silly world of cricket." The track 'Jiggery Pokery' features guest cameo performances from Phill Jupitus, Alexander Armstrong, Matt Berry and more. Berry also features on the track 'Mason on the Boundary'. On 9 September 2009 the band were put on hiatus. The group recorded a "new national anthem for Ireland", or alternanthem, for The Irish Times in March 2010 as part of the newspaper's St Patrick's Festival promotions. They wrote and recorded the theme song for the ESPNcricinfo video blog The Two Chucks.

Serves 4 to 6
Everyone loves chicken wings, that fiery and buttery all-American snack that pairs perfectly with lots and lots of beer. I love adding unexpected flavors to familiar foods, and these wings are a perfect example of why it's fun to think outside the bottle of Frank's hot sauce. The chile, lime, garlic, cilantro, and Worcestershire provide a savory-acidic base for the sauce and add many new and wonderful layers of flavor, while the butter coats the wings with a luscious richness.
Puree the cilantro stems, lime zest, juice, Worcestershire, chile, garlic, 3/4 tsp. of the salt, and the pepper in a blender until smooth. With the motor running, add the butter, blending until it is incorporated. Transfer the sauce to a large bowl.
Pat the wings dry, then halve them at the joint and season them with the remaining 1 tsp. salt.
Heat 1 inch of oil in a pot or deep heavy skillet to 400°F. Fry the wings in 2 or 3 batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden and cooked through, about 8 minutes per batch (return the oil to 400°F between batches). As they are cooked, transfer the wings to the bowl with the sauce, tossing them to coat, or serve the sauce on the side for dipping. With tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the wings to a serving plate and sprinkle with the cilantro leaves. Serve the wings with the remaining sauce on the side.

Massimo Torini is a major character and the main antagonist in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. He is a feared Mafioso from Sicily who runs a hotel outside of Palermo, and its been said that he often killed men with his bare hands when he was younger.
Torini travels to Liberty City after learning that Salvatore Leone was "out of control" after his return from Las Venturas. Although Torini claims that he is arriving to ease tensions between the Leone Family, the Forelli Family, and the Sindacco Family, he actually has ulterior motives in mind: he intends to take over the criminal empire in Liberty City by having the three families destroy each other and moving the Sicilians in once the dust has eventually settled.
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
He begins his mission by convincing gangs like the Diablos and Triads to expand their turf into Mafia territory, which would strain the manpower of the three Families, who are already fighting with each other. Although Toni Cipriani is successful in defending Hepburn Heights from a Diablo assault, he mentions that the Leones would be unable to keep defending the territory from future onslaughts. Indeed, in the later-set Grand Theft Auto III, Hepburn Heights belongs to the Diablos.
Torini's motives are eventually discovered by Toni and Salvatore, but they keep quiet so the Forellis and Sindaccos will wipe each other out. Salvatore is eventually jailed by federal agents, but when it is heard that he will have bail, Torini orders an attack on the convoy transporting the Don from prison to court, hoping to permanently cripple Salvatore's organization. Toni thwarts this, and later on, it seems that newly elected Mayor Miles O'Donovan will drop the charges on Salvatore altogether. To make sure this does not happen, Torini kidnaps O'Donovan. Toni and Salvatore pursue Torini and fight their way through his Sicilian henchmen, eventually rescuing the mayor. Toni shoots down the fleeing Torini's helicopter, killing him. Torini's fate is liken to that of Catalina, who, by the end of GTA III's storyline, kidnaps Maria, flees to an isolated location with the kidnap victim, and is killed when the helicopter she rides in is shot down by Claude. Torini is revealed to be the underboss for the Sicilian Mafia, and that his leader is Salvatore's unnamed, elderly uncle.
Duccio Fraggella voiced Massimo Torini.

To a large extent the election of Tanzania's nine representatives in the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) on Tuesday lived up to what had been hinted by this column last Sunday.
In a piece headed 'EALA is a job market for friends,' the column spoke of whispers to the effect that the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) had in the past used the regional institution as a job market for friends who had failed in national elections.
And going by the profile of those who have already been elected to serve in EALA, it is a fact that at least three had failed in past general elections.
This ties in with allegations that the ruling party has been using EALA not in the interest of the nation but rather as a conduit for providing jobs for friends.
It is unfortunate that despite being warned by a former EALA legislator, Deputy Minister for Works Dr Harrison Mwakyembe, on the dire need to get the right crop of representatives in the regional legislative body, the majority of CCM MPs still went ahead and picked some of their cronies who had failed in past elections.
Dr Mwakyembe accused some former Tanzanian representatives in EALA of hiding under the table during debate on account of poor communication skills in English.
He appealed to his colleagues to be very careful this time around and elect those who were not only well versed both in regional and international issues, but had good communication skills in English as well.
However, there is a need to make special mention of three elected candidates, Abdallah Mwinyi from Zanzibar, Makongoro Nyerere (both from CCM) and Ms Nderakindo Kessy Pepetua from the opposition NCCR-Mageuzi. The performance of the three would-be EALA members during their interviews was excellent.
For some of the victors, it was clear that they had crammed what they spewed out at the podium, and evidence of that came thick and fast when they were subjected to questions. They failed miserably to answer simple, routine questions on account of being disoriented.
Before the election, rumours swept Dodoma about how some of the candidates spent millions on corrupt activities, but as is usual in Bongoland, there were no arrests.
According to the whispers, some people were alleged to have shelled out as much as Sh1m in a bid to facilitate their election to EALA.
However, the fact that no arrests were ever made, either by the police or the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB), the whispers remain what they are - just rumours.
The five-minute duration, three for personal introduction and two for answering questions, allotted to each candidate once again exposed Tanzanians' lack of communication skills in English. Most of the candidates literally struggled in an effort to make sense of what had motivated them to seek candidature to EALA in the first place. Perhaps what was more unfortunate was the fact that most candidates, including some of the MPs who asked the questions, exhibited very little knowledge about the regional body.
For instance, not a single candidate, including members of the Union parliament, could articulate, even briefly, what had led to the collapse of the original East African Community.
While both the parties raised the monetary union issue, touching fleetingly on problems currently afflicting the European Union, most of them forgot that at some stage the original EAC had a common currency. It is incredible that while both parties spoke of the need to keep and maintain institutional memory, they were all oblivious of the erstwhile existence of the common currency in the region and appeared equally ignorant of what had led to the collapse of the EAC common currency.
In short, they did not need to look at the monetary problem presently bedeviling the EU, but rather in their own backyard where once upon a time one currency held sway in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania
Many candidates used the stage in the august House to parade their academic qualifications (which has become vogue in this country). Unfortunately, however, the academic certificates they claimed to possess were not reflected in their communication skills.
While most of the candidates were arguably highly qualified academically, their weakness in English communication skills could be attributed to a lack of a reading culture in this country.
At the end of the day, Tanzanians, through the Union parliament, elected some candidates who have in the past held very high profile posts in which they had failed to deliver.
The question is: if such people failed to deliver in the past in more challenging posts, what drove the MPs to elect such people? Can they succeed at EALA where more intricate issues and challenges abound?
What is very interesting about EALA, and by extension the EAC, is that while outwardly the Tanzanian government projects the image of being serious about the regional body, it does not view the rights of Tanzanians who had worked in the collapsed regional body in the same vein.
To date it has failed to pay their rightful terminal benefits after bungling their first payment over ten years ago when the Ministry of Finance ended up paying people who had not legally served in the regional body.
What is so unfortunate about the terminal benefits of the former EAC employees is that during their working tenure, they were deducted from their salaries as part of their pension scheme and the money was kept in trust by Britain's Crown Agency.
Whispers have it that when Uganda's dictator General Idi Amin captured the Kagera Salient in October 1978, the government used the money from Crown Agency in its war effort.
There was nothing wrong with using the money for the war cause. But having used it, it is only fair and right that the government of the day should have paid the former EAC employees their rightful terminal benefits.
However, when the government finally decided to pay them, the third phase government of President Benjamin Mkapa first decided to flout all the rules. While the number entitled for payment stood at 15,000, Mkapa's administration came up with 31,000 employees.
Initially the government promised to pay Sh450bn, but eventually ended up paying only Sh117bn without explaining what had become of the Sh333bn balance. Although the 16,000 extra employees paid by the government had worked for the EAC, they were however not under permanent and pensionable terms. Therefore, they were not entitled to such payment.
Meanwhile, according to the whispers, the government has been using every trick in the book to derail the case lodged in court by the former employees of the defunct regional body. Indeed, how does one explain a court ruling passed by a panel of five judges being thrown out by a single judge?
According to the latest rumours, many Tanzanian lawyers are alleged to be agitating for the establishment of a strong East African Court of Appeal. The lawyers argue that the establishment of such a court will greatly help in curtailing the Tanzanian government's machinations in cases ranged against it, which abound.
Since the majority of judges in the court will come from the other four countries of Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi, it will not be easy for the Tanzanian government to bring its pressure to bear on the court.

GM recalling another 2.42 million vehicles
General Motors has announced a new round of recalls that affect 2.42 million vehicles in the United States.
The four separate recalls affect the following vehicles:
- Almost 1.4 million Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia crossovers from the 2009-2014 model years and Saturn Outlooks from the 2009-2010 model years
- Just more than 1 million Chevrolet Malibus of the previous generation with 4-speed automatic transmissions and from the 2004-2008 model years and Pontiac G6s from the 2005-2008 model years
- 1,402 Cadillac Escalades and Escalade EDVs from the 2015 model year
- 58 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD from the 2015 model year
GM says the Enclave, Traverse, Acadia and Outlooks are being recalled because the front safety lap belt cables can fatigue and separate over time, raising the risk of injury for passengers in a crash.
The Malibu and G6 are being recalled because a shift cable can wear out over time, resulting in the shift lever fracturing and separating, resulting in the driver being unable to select a different gear, remove the key from the ignition or place the transmission in park.
The Escalades are being recalled because an insufficiently heated plastic weld that attaches the passenger side air bag to the console could result in only a partial deployment in a crash.
The Silverados and Sierras are being replaced because retention clips that attach the generator fuse block to the vehicle can become loose and lead to a potential fire.
The company says that no fatalities are associated with these recalls.

The Pennsylvania State University
Janet Swim is a professor of Psychology at The Pennsylvania State University. She chaired the American Psychological Task Force on climate change, now published in the American Psychologist. She is now president of the Society for Environment, Population, and Conservation Psychology. Her current research aims to understand barriers to and the facilitation of pro-environmental behaviors--both direct behaviors to reduce personal and household energy conservation and indirect behaviors such as environmental activism. Barriers include the potential mismatch between the social construction of pro-environmental behaviors and gender roles, particular masculine gender roles ideologies, and the lack of activation, or the neutralization, of affective responses to people and animals harmed by environmental problems, particularly climate change. Facilitation of pro-environmental behaviors include self-transcendent values, ways to help homeowners follow through on home energy audit recommendations, and the spread of pro-environmental norms and behaviors within individuals existing social networks.

|41:46(d)(1), (2), (4).
In subsection (b)(1)(F), the words "Department of Education" are substituted for "Department of Health and Human Services" in 41:46(a)(1) to correct a mistake in the United States Code. In the amendment to the original provision by section 1 ofPublic Law 92–28 (85 Stat. 77), an officer or employee of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare was one of the members appointed to the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled, because the Department, through the Rehabilitation Services Administration, had the major governmental function in the field of vocational rehabilitation for the blind and other severely handicapped and administered related vocational rehabilitation programs for individuals with disabilities. See House Report 92–228. Under section 301(a)(4)(A) and (C) and (b)(3) of the Department of Education Organization Act (20:3441(a)(4)(A) and (C) and (b)(3)), the functions and offices of the Department and the functions of the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare and the Commissioner of Rehabilitation Services were transferred to the Department or Secretary of Education. Section 509 of the Act (20:3508) redesignated the Department and Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare as the Department and Secretary of Health and Human Services, respectively, and provided that references to the Department and Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare were deemed to be references to the Department or Secretary of Health and Human Services except to the extent a reference was to a function of the Department or Secretary of Education. The reference in 41:46(a)(1) was changed to "Department of Health and Human Services" but should have been changed to "Department of Education". Furthermore, the regulations of the Committee include the Department of Education in the list of members of the Committee. See 41 CFR 51–2.1.
In subsection (c), the text of 41:46(d)(2) and (4) is omitted as obsolete.
In subsection (f)(1), the reference to section 5376 of title 5 is substituted for the reference to grade GS–18 of the General Schedule because of section 529 [title I, § 101(c)(1)] of the Treasury, Postal Service and General Government Appropriations Act, 1991 (Public Law 101–509, 104 Stat. 1442, 5 U.S.C. 5376 note). The word "actual" is omitted as unnecessary. The words "A member is entitled to travel expenses, including a per diem allowance instead of subsistence, as provided under section 5703 of title 5" are substituted for 41:46(e)(3) to eliminate unnecessary words. The reference to section 5703 of title 5 is substituted for the reference to section 5703 (b) of title 5 because of the amendment to section 5703 by section 4 of the Travel Expense Amendments Act of 1975 (Public Law 94–22, 89 Stat. 85).
In subsection (g), the words "its duties and powers" are omitted as surplus.
In subsection (g)(1), the reference to chapter 33 of title 5 is substituted for "the provisions of title 5 governing appointments in the competitive service" for clarity and for consistency with other titles of the United States Code. The words "relating to classification and General Schedule pay rates" are omitted as unnecessary.
In subsection (j), the words "and to the Congress" are omitted pursuant to section 3003 of the Federal Reports Elimination and Sunset Act of 1995 (31 U.S.C. 1113 note). See, also, page 199 of House Document No. 103–7.

text: Christine Sears, Ph.D. Associate Professor, History Biography A consistent interest in teaching and education brought Christine to UAH. She completed an undergraduate degree in Secondary English Education; unable to focus on just one area, her degree included a double major in the Humanities and a minor in Greco-Roman studies. A job teaching junior and senior high school took her to the East Coast, where she taught English, public speaking, and ancient history. Meanwhile, she worked as a guide at Winterthur Museum in Delaware on the weekends. Winterthur's collection of American decorative arts inspired a deep curiosity about the people who made and used the objects, as well as a conviction that active, hands on learning is the best way to share history with others. In fact, Christine was so convinced that she moved into the Education Department at Winterthur, where she designed and implemented programs for students in grades pre-K through Elderhostel and workshops for teachers that earned continuing education credit. Unable to completely give up English education, she taught composition, study skills, and public speaking at Delaware Technical and Community College in the evenings. Hooked on history at Winterthur, she decided to return for an advanced degree in American history at the University of Delaware. Her master's thesis, "Submit Like a Man," addressed masculinity in the early republic, but she focused on comparative slavery in her dissertation. At UAH, Christine teaches world and American history surveys, upper division classes in the American early republic and antebellum periods, the Atlantic World, and gender history. She looks forward to developing a course on the Ottoman Empire and the World that will hopefully include a trip to Istanbul and working with other history faculty to develop a public history program. When not at UAH, Christine enjoys gardening, lifting weights, and spending time with her husband, Eric.
