Great shot. It reminds me of some of the places in Chernobyl.
And yet it is in France in a pretty small town
I love small towns. There are always interesting places to explore. I lived in upstate New York for a while and there were a lot of small towns arouind and lots of abandoned buildings, houses factories and in one there was even an abandoned army base and ammo dump.
We love the same things
I find that in most cases no matter where in the world people live they all have more in common than they have differences.
Strongly agree, a geographical point of view but also from a temporal point of view.
I never forget that people liked what I photograph when they lived there.

The Development of the Project NetWorks Administrative Records Database for Policy Evaluation
Rupp, Kalman, Driessen, Dianne, Kornfeld, Robert, Wood, Michelle, Social Security Bulletin
This article describes the development of SSNs administrative records database for the Project NetWork return-to-work experiment targeting persons with disabilities. The article is part of a series of papers on the evaluation of the Project NetWork demonstration. In addition to 8,248 Project NetWork participants randomly assigned to receive case management services and a control group, the simulation identified 138,613 eligible nonparticipants in the demonstration areas. The output data files contain detailed monthly information on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Disability Insurance (DI) benefits, annual earnings, and a set of demographic and diagnostic variables. The data allow for the measurement of net outcomes and the analysis of factors affecting participation. The results suggest that it is feasible to simulate complex eligibility rules using administrative records, and create a clean and edited data file for a comprehensive and credible evaluation. The study shows that it is feasible to use administrative records data for selecting control or comparison groups in future demonstration evaluations.
I. Introduction
The purpose of this article is to describe the development of the Project NetWork administrative records database for policy evaluation. Project NetWork has been the first large-scale return-to-work field experiment targeting both the Title 11 Disability Insurance (DI) and Title XVI Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disabled beneficiary population with severe disabilities. The demonstration was initiated in 1991, to test the feasibility and effects of providing intensive outreach and case management services, and also included work incentive waivers. The demonstration was conducted at eight sites between 1992 and 1994. A comprehensive evaluation component was included in the demonstration design, including the random assignment of 8,248 participants who volunteered for the demonstration to a "Treatment" group receiving case management services, and a "Control" group of persons who did not receive case management services.
The evaluation design called for the collection of data on nonparticipating eligibles at the demonstration sites as well, in order to provide information on the factors affecting the selection of participants among project eligibles-such data being central to the understanding of the role of self-selection and targeting in producing return-to-work outcomes. It also called for the efficient combination of relying on routinely collected SSA administrative records, data from Project NetWork demonstration MIS systems (the Case Management Control System or CMCS1), and supplementary survey data collection. It envisioned the followup of Project NetWork participants and nonparticipant eligibles over a period of several years to facilitate the accurate measurement of net outcomes. In addition, case studies were conducted at the eight demonstration sites to provide information on the operational aspects of project implementation. All of these various sources of information were deemed essential for a comprehensive evaluation of the net outcomes (also referred to as "net impacts") of the demonstration and for the understanding of the institutional processes and selection decisions eventually responsible for the production of these outcomes.
The development of a comprehensive database from SSA administrative records was a key component of this overall evaluation strategy for several reasons: SSA administrative records form an excellent source of precise information on two key outcomes of interest in any analysis of return to work among SSA disability beneficiaries: the receipt of DI and SSI benefits. These data are available on a monthly basis, providing complete benefit history during the pre-demonstration period, as well as for the post-demonstration period. If necessary, the post-demonstration period can be extended to the indefinite future at relatively low cost, because SSA continues to maintain benefit receipt information regardless of participation in specific demonstration initiatives. …

Simon Harper (sharper, sharpic, or harpic)
I'm interested in how disabled users interact with the Web and how the Web, through its design and technology, enables users to interact with it. I believe that by understanding disabled-user's interaction we enhance our understanding of all users operating in extreme modalities. It is for this reason that I see fundamental research into users with disabilities as a natural preface to wider human factors research. By understanding Web interaction in the context of accessibility, usability, and disability we are better placed to understand, and solve the associated problems of, everyones interactive behaviour.

Medieval Ghost Stories: An Anthology of Miracles, Marvels and Prodigies (Paperback)Andrew Joynes
Paperback Published: 01/04/2003
- Not available
"Truly ...a landmark work. This impeccably researched and very readable book should appeal to a wide audience" - "Medieval Review". Stories of spirits returning from the afterlife are as old as storytelling: accounts of ghosts and revenants which have crossed the mysterious border between the living and the dead are a dominant theme in many cultures, and in medieval Europe ghosts, nightstalkers, wild hunts and unearthly visitors from parallel worlds have figured in stories already in circulation before the coming of Christianity. "Medieval Ghost Stories" is a collection of ghostly occurrences from the eighth to the fourteenth centuries; they have been found in monastic chronicles and preaching manuals, in sagas and heroic poetry, and in medieval romances. In a religious age, the tales bore a peculiar freight of spooks and spirituality which can still make hair stand on end; unfailingly, these stories give a fascinating and moving glimpse into the medieval mind. Look only at the accounts of Richard Rowntree's stillborn child, glimpsed by his father tangled in swaddling clothes on the road to Santiago, or the sly habits of water sprites resting as goblets and golden rings on the surface of the river, just out of reach. Andrew Joynes' thoughtful commentary relates content and form to events of the time: the monastic reform movement following the first millennium, the growth in philosophical speculation during the twelfth century renaissance, and the channelling of ancient Norse beliefs by Christian authors into the saga literature of Iceland. Andrew Joynes is a freelance writer, historian and broadcaster.

Top 4 Yielding Buy-Rated Stocks: EXLP, CRT, NMFC, GSJK
While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends and subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 4 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Buy."
Exterran Partners L.PDividend Yield: 7.10% Exterran Partners L.P (NASDAQ: EXLP) shares currently have a dividend yield of 7.10%. Exterran Partners, L.P., together with its subsidiaries, provides natural gas contract operations services to customers in the United States. The company has a P/E ratio of 22.59. The average volume for Exterran Partners L.P has been 104,600 shares per day over the past 30 days. Exterran Partners L.P has a market cap of $1.5 billion and is part of the energy industry. Shares are down 1.6% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Friday. TheStreet Ratings rates Exterran Partners L.P as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, good cash flow from operations, expanding profit margins, solid stock price performance and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- EXLP's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 9.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 16.6%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $49.07 million or 47.38% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, EXTERRAN PARTNERS LP has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -71.33%.
- 40.91% is the gross profit margin for EXTERRAN PARTNERS LP which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 8.66% trails the industry average.
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, EXLP's share price has jumped by 27.98%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Looking ahead, the stock's sharp rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.
- EXTERRAN PARTNERS LP's earnings per share declined by 23.8% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, EXTERRAN PARTNERS LP increased its bottom line by earning $0.14 versus $0.07 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.28 versus $0.14).

ZyGEM is partnering with Quanta BioSciences to incorporate ZyGEM's enzymatic RNA extraction technology into Quanta's quantitative PCR reagents. ZyGEM's RNAGem technology can be used with diverse samples, and Quanta's reagents enable gene expression, pathogen detection, and genetic analyses in various industries including pharmaceutical R&D, diagnostics, agribusiness, and biodefense.
ZyGEM explains that its enzymatic technology uses a single tube process to provide complete extraction of RNA including smaller RNA molecules such as noncoding RNA and microRNA that are excluded by other extraction methods. It delivers higher molecular weight RNA and more representative transcriptome profiles than other methods and is well suited for complete gene expression and noncoding RNA analyses. The technology has been shown to produce consistent, linear yields of nuclear RNA, thereby ensuring 100% reproducible results, according to ZyGEM.
"In our testing ZyGEM's technology rapidly produced high-quality RNA, and we believe our customers will welcome the opportunity to obtain these benefits in their own work," says David Schuster, director of R&D at Quanta BioSciences, with regard to this OEM agreement.
Paul Kinnon, CEO of ZyGEM, remarks, "ZyGEM's RNA extraction technology represents a significant advance in sample preparation for RNA-based testing and analysis, and we are pleased to partner with leading reagent producer Quanta BioSciences to expand its availability. This agreement reinforces our strategy of partnering with innovative companies to bring the advantages of our accurate, fast, and simple RNA and DNA extraction technologies to researchers around the globe."
Earlier this year ZyGEM made arrangements to bolster use of its extraction technologies in Sweden and the Middle East. In May it inked a nonexclusive agreement with TATAA Biocenter for distribution of its DNA and RNA extraction products in Sweden and other selected countries worldwide. In January, ZyGEM signed an OEM agreement with Saudi Diagnostics.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

Remember that what pulls the strings is the force hidden within; there lies the power to persuade, there the life,- there, if one must speak out, the real man.
Marcus Aurelius (121 - 180)
Source: Meditations
Contributed by: Zaady
Every man's life lies within the present; for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain.
Things that have a common quality ever quickly seek their kind.
Think of this doctrine - That reasoning beings were created for one another's sake; That to be patient is a branch of justice; and that we often sin without intending it.
To refrain from imitation is the best revenge.
You will find rest from vain fancies if you perform every act in life as though it were your last.
Let thy chief fort and place of defense be a mind free from passions. A stronger place and better fortified than this, hath no man.
This is moral perfection: to live each day as though it were the last; to be tranquil, sincere, yet not indifferent to one's fate.
If it is not seemly, do it not; if it is not true, speak it not.
Nothing can come out of nothing, any more than a thing can go back to nothing.

Keys to Good Cooking Q&A + Videos"/>
This book is so helpful it even has the table of content on the front cover.
Harold McGee's Keys to Good Cooking is a great addition to any cookbook library. It picks up where many cookbooks leave off. The "How's" and "Why's" of a dish's success - or failure - are often a mystery, but McGee sheds light on many of those mysteries to make us more informed in the kitchen and ultimately, better cooks.
This book is so helpful it even has the table of content on the front cover.
Here's a continuation of our Q&A with Harold McGee. Read Part I of the Q&A.
MSG - good or evil?
MSG is our main source of the taste called umami, a meaty, savory, mouth-filling, mouth-watering taste. It's found in many foods and contributes to the special deliciousness of such things as tomatoes, parmesan cheese, dry-aged steaks, and soy sauce. Used as a food additive, it's a quick way of getting that taste without the ingredients. Hundreds of clinical studies have found that it is not harmful to eat. It's neither good nor evil; it can make foods delicious, or can be used to disguise the absence of delicious ingredients.
You are a busy man and probably struggle with what most home cooks do - time. You have recommended cooking vegetables fast in the microwave but meat or other proteins slowly. Any advice for how to get dinner on the table quickly after a long work day?
Take some time over the weekend to make a big slow-cooked braise or stew, which takes very little actual work time but sits in the oven for many hours, and which tastes better and better on the second and third and fourth day. If you like pasta, you should know that it doesn't need to be cooked in a big pot of water, which can take half an hour just to get to the boil. Just put the pasta and a small amount of cold water (about a quart and a half per pound) in a saute pan, turn on the heat, and you'll have al dente pasta and the makings of a sauce (the thick pasta water) in 20 minutes.
Harold McGee is in Seattle this week with appearances at University Book Store on November 18th at 7pm and at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park on November 20th at 6:30 pm.
Check out these fun videos McGee made to demystify a couple of common cooking myths:
Cooking Vegetables
There is a common wisdom about how to cook "leaky" vegetables like eggplant and mushrooms. McGee shows you that there are benefits to both the "wrong way" and the "right way."
Making Ice Cream
McGee demonstrates that you don't need a fancy machine - or even a machine at all - to make ice cream at home. Just three ziplock bags, salt and ice cream mix.

text: The past few days the leaked tracks off the new Drake and Rihanna albums have served as pretty much my exclusive daily soundtrack. But this duet between them - the title track off Drake's "Take Care," which is out tomorrow - might just take the cake. Catchy, moody, and oozing vulnerability, it works as a sweeter, less carnal sibling to their previous - and equally awesome - teaming "What's My Name." Take a few listens and then expect yourself to never stop:

Don Sebastiani & Sons Releases First Video Podcast
The company, twice named American Winery of the Year for 2005, has been no stranger to Apple's iPod(R) portable media technology and its web-based counterpart, the iTunes Music Store(R). Earlier this year they released a series of audio Podcasts to coincide with the launch of their redesigned website. Like the previously released audio Podcasts, the new DS&S films will be available through the iTunes Music Store(R) as well as on the winery's website, www.donandsons.com/films.
"Podcasts give us the ability to closely connect with the consumer, and to speak in a concise, matter-of-fact manner."
"We're excited to explore this new avenue of communicating with our customers," explained Donny Sebastiani, Marketing Director of Don & Sons. "Podcasts give us the ability to closely connect with the consumer, and to speak in a concise, matter-of-fact manner."
Designed as an introduction to what will be a series of informative films, the three minute Podcast finds Don, Donny, and August Sebastiani discussing alternative closures, their brands, and thoughts on marketing. Future films will take viewers inside the company's Napa winery with winemaker Richard Bruno to talk about Old and New World winemaking techniques, as well as into the appellations and vineyards that supply the winery's fruit. Upcoming episodes will also explore the inspiration for Don & Son's sometimes "quirky" sense of branding.
"It's entertainment, but it's also sharing our message with our customers," continues Sebastiani. "That's a dichotomy more and more consumers seem to be embracing."
The films are produced and directed by Napa Valley native Bret Lyman, aka B. Napa, who is slated to release his self-titled wine documentary in early 2007. "I love being on the edge of what's relevant and innovative in the wine industry," says Lyman. "The bottle is really only the end of the story. Capturing what goes in to the creation of the brand, the label, the vintage is what intrigues me the most."
Don Sebastiani & Sons is a family-owned wine negociant firm specializing in the marketing of upscale, but moderately priced varietal wines. Principals Don Sebastiani and sons, Donny and August, are third and fourth generation California vintners and merchants. The company is headquartered in Sonoma Valley and has a winery in the Napa Valley. Don Sebastiani & Sons markets two separate portfolios, the Three Loose Screws Wine Company and The Other Guys. Don & Sons was recently named American Winery of the Year for 2005 by Wine Enthusiast Magazine, as well as Winery of the Year for 2005 by Gomberg, Fredrikson & Associates, a leading wine industry consulting firm. Its Pepperwood Grove and Smoking Loon brands were both named Impact Hot Brands of 2005 by M. Shanken Communications, publisher of The Wine Spectator and Impact Newsletter.

"Rick" Richard III, former chairman, president and chief executive officer of Columbia Energy Group, has been elected to the American Electric Power (NYSE: AEP) Board of Directors.

Before joining FERC, he served as legislative assistant for energy issues to U.S. Sen. J. Bennett Johnston (D-La).

Blue moon for a night out by funkyfunnyboneWatch
©2006-2016 funkyfunnybone
Blue semi dress.. I picture it being worn to a part on a boat with a clear view of a crescent moon in the background
did you make this?? it's AMAZING!!!!!!
Lovely! ^^
I always love a splash of rich blue. The contrasting textures of the body and skirt are lovely.
this is really pretty!
i LOVE that dress. PLEASE tell me where or how you made it. i really really really love it.
wow, that is a REEEEALLY cute dress! i really kinda want one...wish i could buy it slash it was even in my size.
I wish I could buy this dress, it's so beautiful.
I love it. Now I wish I was better at sewing. ^.^ I wish this was in stores so I could buy it since it's something I'd wear.
That's beautiful! I love black and the blue together and the different fabrics you have used, actually I love the whole dress!
As a blue-black lover, all I can say is : Beautiful !
lovin it
i put it to my fav´s!!
i like it so much! i want that dress!!!!! >_<

Lovely colours
very cutee!!
definately my fav so far!!

I want that dress ;D
my favourite dress from you
I don't have the figure for any of the clothes you make, but they're all so cool! I just love looking at them.
gorgeous dress...
I love this dress, the shape in general but the color is so nice. How are the ribbons attatched running down the front?
<3x a million!! It's so pretty! ^.^
oh, this one is nice.
your other stuff is also great work,

Wauw, I really love this dress!!

I wish I could make something like this...
I love it!! And want one in violet
That's a REALLY pretty dress. I'd definately buy it if it was in the shops. very good job!
wow, I love the blue ribbon running down the front, breaks up the black top half really nicely just awesome
is the top part made with a velvet?
Such a beautiful dress^^ The contrast between blue and black really great
That is just gorgeous. My only recommendation would be to make the top part stiffer. It looks like in its present state it would simply fall off. I think more of a corset finish or at least brocade-like fabric would be more appropriate.
so beautiful. i love the bows, i would love to wear this
Nice. I like the ribbons.
simply adorable
Wow! :cute: I love that blue material! It reminds me of a midnight ocean...whatever that means xP
such a gorgeous dress! love the blue.
top deck of the boat...its gorgeous!
ohh very nice. simple design but i like what material is that you used on the skirt?

I've had a nagging feeling for about two years now that there's something just slightly off with Xander, my four year old. Every doctor I've spoken to here in Idaho has been completely dismissive and told me that he was doing fine, perfectly normal, not to worry, etc.
He never failed to hit any of his milestones as a baby. In fact, he's done pretty much everything early. But there are a few things (behavioral tics and whatnot) that have stood out to me as being... something. I don't even know what because I don't know where to even start looking!
- Pinching/twiddling. He used to twiddle and pinch the skin under our arms while we were holding him. He did this for a very long time, and no amount of redirecting ever helped. He would get frustrated and protest, sometimes even start screeching or crying if we gently moved his hand, or if we wore sleeves that prevented him from doing it. He still does this, to some degree. Not the pinching, but if he's sitting next to me or on my lap he'll look for areas of soft exposed skin to brush or play with. It seems like a compulsion, almost. He's also obsessed with skin surface anomalies (moles, skin tags, scabs, etc.) and if he sees one, will constantly point at it, touch it, etc.
- Repetitive motions. He does a lot of little repetitive-type motions that seem kind of... withdrawn(?). Often when he's upset, but sometimes just when he's sitting and playing. Curling up and rocking back and forth when he's upset is the most obvious. He also sucks on his fingers and bites his nails when he's upset about something.
- Inflexibility. He's not inflexible about everything, but there are some things, and sometimes seemingly random things, where if it doesn't go the way he was expecting, or if we deviate from the routine, it is the end of the world. It could be something like forgetting to let him turn the bathroom light off and close the door after going to the bathroom before bed, and he'll completely melt down until I back up and let him do it over.
- Communication. He started learning words fairly early. His first word was around 9 months and his vocabulary built at a great pace after that. But he has some difficulty with certain things, like understanding the whole I/me/you thing. He refers to himself by name, in the third person. He also has trouble with questions. He can answer leading/yes or no type questions, but if I ask him a what/when/where/who type question ("which toy do you want?"), he'll just repeat it back to me. He's generally totally capable of communicating his needs and speaking in complete sentences ("mama, I want a peanut butter sandwich on fluffy bread please!"), but he doesn't really hold conversations. If I try to engage him in any sort of dialogue, he either ignores me, or withdraws (sometimes literally ducking his head down or curling in on himself) and acts.. shy, I guess?
- Potty training regression. This one is pretty recent. He knows how to use the toilet, and he's perfectly capable of using the toilet (even does a great job wiping most of the time), and it's never seemed to be an issue of him not being able to hold it. It's like he just... decides to pee or sometimes poop in weird places. The other day he pooped in the crack between the back of the couch and the seat cushions. Just today he peed in the crack between the ottoman and the couch. He wakes up completely soaked, I would say on a majority of nights, despite having taken him to the bathroom right before bed and sometimes several times after. And if I ask the boys to hang out in their room while I move furniture or vacuum the living room or something else I don't want them underfoot for, he'll pee and/or poop on the floor in there almost like it's out of protest.
There's probably more that I'm forgetting, because I always forget things when I make lists. But that's what comes to mind right now. I'm just wondering... am I off-base for being concerned?
We're moving back to WA in a couple of weeks, so I'm not pursuing anything further with the doctors here, but I WILL be taking him back to a doctor in WA who I trust and who I feel actually listens to me.

This book is a collection of insights over a span of almost a year while recovering from a serious health condition.
My husband Winston and I have two grown children with their wonderful spouses, and are the grandparents of four grand children, Courtney, Kendra, Lanie, and Cade. Beside writing, I enjoy quilting and travel. Working vacations are especially meaningful, taking me to many countries involving humanitarian efforts.

I am Grace's slightly older brother. I lived these memories about the trees and iris that our Mother tended lovingly. We were a blessed family unit in the post WW2 days. We shared our stay at home Mother and Dad with 2 older brothers in an old,but comfortable farm house on 50 acres in upstate NY. Dad usually had 2 or 3 jobs that kept him busy, but he was a full time hands on Dad. We tended several 'pet' animals and grew much of our own meat and foods. Grace was a much needed addition to our 3 boy household. She and I, being the youngest 2, did mostly in house chores till we grew older. Mom was blessed with her girl and we all grew up. Little did I know or guess Grace was & IS such a talented person. Writing is just the tip of the talent .... jewelry making, molding/ casting, quilting etc. I still have and cherish the shirt she made for me about 50 years ago......... she even instructed me on making a necktie that I wore to church recently. Grace IS the BEST sister I could have ever have hoped for. I have a long way to grow into her Godly example........ Lord help me.

Bloomberg Distinguished Professorship in Computational Healthcare
Johns Hopkins University
|April 30, 2014
|Date Posted
|March 7, 2014
|Tenured, tenure track
|Employment Type
Joint Search by The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and School of Engineering
The Johns Hopkins University seeks an internationally recognized leader as a tenured, endowed Bloomberg Distinguished Professor in the emerging area of computational healthcare. We seek an individual whose research agenda in healthcare and data science will help bring together the Universitys Whiting School of Engineering and School of Medicine through their shared interests in computational modeling of health data and its applications to improve health care delivery. This leader will pioneer new directions, interact with existing collaborative research efforts, and help guide additional faculty growth in this area. This position is one of 50 new Bloomberg Distinguished Professors whose mission will be to pursue transformative strategies to enable Johns Hopkins to lead in the development of solutions to major societal problems. Bloomberg Distinguished Professors will enhance significantly the universitys longstanding commitment to research, teaching and service that spans disciplinary boundaries and Schools.
The explosion of data such as neuroimages, DNA sequences, electronic medical records, and physiological signals collected from individual and populations of patients raises the prospect of discovering optimal approaches to individualized health care. The Hopkins Individualized Health Initiative (INhealth) is a focus of the University's current capital campaign. It seeks to bring together strengths in biomedical sciences, data science, and engineering at Johns Hopkins University, Johns Hopkins Health System, and the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) to:
- discover new computational methods for defining, measuring, and communicating each persons unique health state and trajectory;
- apply these methods to produce better health outcomes at more affordable costs.
This search in computational healthcare is one of several INHealth-related searches that will recruit new Bloomberg Distinguished Professors to drive progress. These professors will also benefit from the Universitys strategic initiative in The Science of Learning, and the Whiting School of Engineering research thrust in Leveraging Data to Knowledge. Two other INHealth-related searches are underway in the health information sciences domain (statistical genomics and health informatics).
Bloomberg Distinguished Professors will hold formal tenured appointments in departments of two or more schools of the University, and will participate fully in the research, teaching, and service missions of their departments, including undergraduate and graduate education. The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Whiting School of Engineering are partners in this computational healthcare search. Supporting departments include: the Department of Computer Science in the Whiting School of Engineering; and the Departments of Biomedical Engineering, Emergency Medicine, Medicine, and Radiology in the School of Medicine. The primary academic appointment in the Whiting School of Engineering will be in the Department of Computer Science. The ideal candidate will satisfy the following criteria: international reputation and major research and teaching accomplishments in both computing- and health-related fields such as biomedical informatics, computer science, data-intensive science, statistics, machine learning, computational modeling; track record of translating computational approaches into clinical applications within academic health centers or other health care delivery systems; strong record of extramural funding.
Applicants should send their Curriculum Vitae as a single PDF to Stephanie Steele, Search Coordinator, The Johns Hopkins Institute for Computational Medicine, firstname.lastname@example.com. Applications should be received no later than April 30, 2014. Additional information is available at http://cs.jhu.edu/BDP.
The Johns Hopkins University is committed to enhancing the diversity of its faculty, strongly encourages applications from women and minorities, and is an EEO/AA employer.

Houston American will own a 7.2% working interest in the well and acreage.
- In Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana, a 7,000' test of the Cris H stringer and Cris H sand is planned with the objective of gaining structure on existing productive oil wells. Houston American will own a 10.9% working interest in the well before payout and a 9.375% working interest after payout.
- In Iberville Parish, Louisiana, a 13,500' test of the Cib Haz Sands is planned.

Getting a Grip on Four-Jaw Lathe Chucks
Shape the bottom
When shaping the outside of a bowl, form its bottom to fit your chuck jaws so you can reverse the blank, grip it with the chuck, and form the inside. For contracting dovetail jaws, form a dovetail spigot as shown right. Cut the inside corner where the spigot meets the bowl body crisp and clean to provide a positive gripping corner for the chuck jaws. Leave a flat bearing surface for the jaw ends. Because the jaws pull in on the spigot as well as squeezing it, make the spigot slightly shorter than the jaw depth, so it does not bottom out. Sand and finish as much of the outside of the bowl as possible.
The same jaws that contract onto a spigot also will expand into a recess hollowed out in the bottom of a bowl, as shown below right. When planning the shape of your bowl, leave extra thickness in its bottom to accommodate this recess. Make it about 1/8-1/4" deep, cleanly cut, and with its edge following the shape of the jaws. Leave sufficient wood around the recess to support the outward force exerted by the expanding jaws. Gripping the bowl in this manner allows you to completely form the outside, including its bottom. With the outside of the bowl formed, sand it and apply a finish.
Generally speaking, contracting onto a spigot provides the greatest holding power. However, for turnings of large diameter but shallow depth, such as a large platter, expanding into a recess gives better results. Regardless of how the chuck holds the workpiece, be sure to periodically check its tightness.
I think that oneway in Canada made the ist of these. I never did much turning till I got the oneway chuck. There is only so much you can do between centers.1/28/2016 10:25:52 AM Report Abuse

how is it 'safe'? Given what's happening in LASD, it's a good idea..
Peter BeensShared publicly -
I've just joined the remind101 service. It looks like an amazing way to send reminders to students and parents.
5 comments
Yes, it is. I and another teacher experimented with it and it is great. The only problem is that they didn't (at the time..fall 2011) have Canadian providers on board so every text was going to be an international text. Have they solved that problem?
+Doug Peterson That looks quite a bit richer than remind101. Too bad I'm already invested in remind101 (at least the rest of this school year).
Seems like basically the same service though. I think the problem of international text rates are still there. I sent them an email asking about that... will let you know what they say.

Goobit Refuge: Part One by MyPuddleWatch
©2005-2016 MyPuddle
This is my first time programming with actionscript and my first serious attempt at flash. This is the first part in a series (possibly a trilogy) of games. In each game a little part of a story (inspired by characters and worlds I created in elementary school) is revealed. In this installment though, barely any of the story is revealed. In the next one, or maybe two, or maybe more than two games in the Goobit Refuge series I'm planning to reveal much more of the story. The game is pretty hard at first.
