Sounds wonderful. Have you ever canned it? We are trying to make a few gifts early this year and this one would be amazing. Although, I am afraid if I made it early I would end up testing it too often and have none left to give.ReplyDelete
I haven´t canned it, though I think it´s a great idea!Delete
Mmm, I am thinking maybe some on top of some crackers spread with melted Brie!ReplyDelete
The first thing I thought when I saw this recipe was, this would be fabulous on chicken. I can't wait to give it a try.ReplyDelete

Rum will do the trick! This is a lovely combination. Of course its a great gift to give!ReplyDelete
I really like the versatility of this sauce. I would totally put it in some chicken and for a savory but sweet dish. Yummy! I use to bring food to the office all the time when I started cooking but I stopped because they started expecting it and I never got one thank you. Kind of disapointing.ReplyDelete
Oh yes! This definitely belongs in a cheesecake! Or maybe with a slice of poundcake and ice cream!ReplyDelete
I love making homemade gifts each year and am always thrilled when the recipient(s) actually use and eat them! This year? Homemade Worcesterhire sauce! ~ DavidReplyDelete

It's a banner year for Greater Connellsville Chamber of Commerce
Greater Connellsville Chamber of Commerce will again hang approximately 70 new street banners throughout Connellsville in May.
This year's theme honors chamber member businesses that have been owned by a local family for 50 or more years.
Businesses that will be honored are Brooks Funeral Home (66 years), Bud Murphy's Sports Bar and Restaurant (67 years), Faris Distributing Co. (73 years,) Fiesta Insurance (58 years), The Grasso Greenhouses (87 years), Lynn's Dairy Queen (62 years), Pechin Enterprises (66 years) Scottdale Bank and Trust Co. (113 years), Spotto's Hardware (77 years), Stefano's Printing (56 years), Stone and Company (90 years) and Tinker Associates (77 years).
Each business and years of operation will appear individually on its banner, the number of which will be determined by banner sales this year.
Banner sponsor names will appear at the base of the banner.
Anyone can sponsor a banner — businesses, clubs, churches, organizations and individuals.
The program has been popular for many years and there are many dedicated entities who participate in this chamber project year after year, often sponsoring more than one banner.
"The first banner in 1984 was to recognize and honor the Connellsville Charter Bicentennial. The street banners were a part of that celebration," said Tony Grasso, chamber board secretary and the banner project organizer for more than 30 years.
Some of the past banners have included Connellsville Garden Club's Geranium Festival, Connellsville Area Historical Society's Braddock's Crossing, Carnegie Free Library, Mozart Club, The Molinaro Band, Harold Betters and many more. Each design has been unique in its depiction of a noteworthy anniversary or acknowledgement of a group, individual or historical event in Connellsville's history.
Banners are hung by Memorial Day so that they brighten and beautify the streets to welcome visitors prior to Connellsville's many summer activities.
"We are banner sponsors every year because it is a chance to celebrate what is great about our community and beautify our streetscape at the same time. You only get one chance to make a good first impression for the perspective residents and business owners entering our community through one of our main corridors. This program helps to make that good first impression and also promotes pride in our community," said Bryan Kisiel, of Kisiel & Associates, chamber treasurer and past president.
The number of banners hung depends on the number sold so the chamber makes an effort to sell as many as possible in order to display as many as possible throughout town.
If desired, sponsors may claim their banners next year when the 2015 banners are installed. Notify the chamber of your request.

Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $24.00 strike price has a current bid of 80 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of JBL stock at the current price level of $23.48/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $24.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 5.62% if the stock gets called away at the November 16th expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if JBL shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Jabil Circuit, Inc., as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing JBL's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $24.00 strike highlighted in red:

(By Mani) Warner Chilcott plc (Nasdaq:WCRX) said Monday that it is exploring a broad range of strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value, which include preliminary discussions with potential bidders. Goldman Sachs is the financial adviser to the company in this regard.
The announcement came after The Times (of London) reported last Friday that Germany's Bayer AG could offer as much as $32 per share for Warner Chilcott, implying a premium of 70 percent over Warner Chilcott's closing price on March 27.
Ireland-based Warner Chilcott is a leading specialty pharmaceutical company currently focused on the women's healthcare, gastroenterology, dermatology and urology segments of the branded pharmaceuticals market, primarily in North America.
[Related -Forest Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE:FRX): Should Astrazeneca Plc Buy Forest Labs?]
The acquisition of Procter & Gamble's global branded pharmaceuticals business in October 2009 transformed Warner Chilcott into a global pharmaceuticals company with significant scale and geographic reach.
"Assuming a (conservative) fundamental share value of $24, we have tried to gauge the premium a bidder would be willing to pay for Warner Chilcott. We estimate a range of $27- $32 per share could be entirely feasible," RBC Capital Market analyst Shibani Malhotra wrote in a note to clients.
A potential bidder could remove 10 percent to 30 percent of Warner Chilcott's total selling, general and administrative and R&D costs. Based on increased visibility into the pipeline, would recognize an incremental 50-125 percent of R&D in value for this. The bidder would be willing to give 50 percent of the synergy value and 100 percent of incremental recognized pipeline value to Warner Chilcott shareholders
[Related -Hologic Inc. (HOLX) Q3 Earnings Preview: New, Old Management With A New Tone?]
Malhotra said Bayer could be looking to increase its SG&A infrastructure in the US. It appears that Bayer's pharmaceuticals commercial infrastructure is mostly ex-US whereas Warner Chilcott has a strong US presence.
In addition, Bayer's global reach offers a meaningful opportunity to market Warner Chilcott's portfolio globally, particularly in emerging markets. As of March 31, Bayer has about 1.31 billion Euros in cash and cash equivalents.
With a strong cash balance, Bayer could take Warner Chilcott's oral contraceptive franchise as well as products such as Asacol global. In 2011, Asacol generated $743 million in sales.
Bayer could be interested in Warner Chilcott's oral contraceptive portfolio given the issues with its own YAZ franchise.

LUBBOCK, Texas – The Texas Tech track and field program continued its qualifying efforts Friday at Arkansas' John McDonnell Field in Day 2 of the NCAA West Preliminaries.
The No. 5 Red Raiders and No. 15 Lady Raiders pushed three more athletes through to the NCAA Championship finals in Eugene, bringing their total to six in two days of competition with the meet wrapping up Saturday.
Tech, for the second-straight season, will send the duo of Bradley Adkins and JaCorian Duffield to the NCAA Championship meet. Fresh off claiming the top two spots at the Big 12 Championships the pair wasted little time securing qualifying spots at the NCAA West Preliminaries, each clearing four straight bars on first attempts - the final coming at 2.16-meters (7-feet 1 inch).
Duffield will now make his third-straight trip to the NCAA Outdoor Championships. He finished seventh at the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Championships and tied for fifth with Adkins earlier this year at the NCAA Indoor Championships to become Tech's first-ever two-time All-American high jump.
"They've been two steady competitors for us for both during the indoor and outdoor season," Texas Tech high jump coach James Thomas said. "This is the kind of meet where they needed to come in and focus on advancing. For them to come in here and stay clean through all of the bars with no misses and move on to Eugene is a testament to the season that they have had."
On the track, junior Lady Raider Cierra White punched her own ticket to Oregon, finishing third in her heat and fifth overall in the quarterfinals of the women's 100-meter dash with a time of 11.41 seconds. She'll be making her third-career appearance at the NCAA Outdoor Championships and second in the 100m. She finished sixth overall in 2013 to become Tech's first female All-American in the event since 2010 and second in school history.
White went on to secure a spot in Saturday's quarterfinals of the 200-meters as she finished third in her heat and eighth overall with a time of 23.32.
"She did an outstanding job," Associate head coach Dion Miller said. "She ran like a veteran."
Lady Raider sophomore Le'Tristan Pledger qualified Friday for the quarterfinals of the 100-meter hurdles finishing third overall in 13.21 seconds. Pledger is looking to make her second-straight trip to the NCAA Championships in the hurdles.
"She handled the round very well." Miller said.
For the Red Raiders, sophomore Tramaine Maloney punched his ticket to Saturday's quarterfinals of the 110m hurdles with a third place finish in his heat. The All-Big 12 performer clocked a time of 14.09 seconds into a slight headwind, and will run Saturday at 7:05 p.m. for a chance to make his first career appearance at the national meet.
Teammate Trevor Mackey went on to qualify for the quarterfinals of the men's 200m with a third place finish in his heat. The All-Big 12 performer crossed the finish line in 20.97 seconds, and will compete Saturday at 7:35 p.m. for a chance to qualify for national meet.
The NCAA West Preliminaries continue with the third and final day of action Saturday at John McDonnell Field. Live results from the meet can be found at FlashResults.com.

MTV.com recently reported (via Variety) that Lindsay Lohan has been
confirmed for the movie, most likely playing the role as the senator's daughter. The Mean Girls star reported on her Twitter
account, "something was made official today!!!!!!!!!" and then linked to the
Machete page on IMDB.com.According to Variety, Lohan will be joined with an eclectic and
amazing supporting cast: "Danny Trejo is playing the title character
and Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Steven Seagal,
Lindsay Lohan, Cheech Marin, Don Johnson and Jeff Fahey play supporting
roles."The trailer tells the story of a Mexican immigrant hired to kill a U.S. senator who is fighting illegal immigration. But the title character, played by Danny Trejo, is "set-up double crossed and left for dead," by his employers. Searching for revenge, Machete goes on a killing rampage with the help of his priest, played by Cheech Marin. Check out the trailer and remember, "If you're going to hire Machete to kill the bad guy, you better make damn sure the bad guy isn't you":Related links:News: Robert Rodriguez Eyes Machete, New Predator FlickNews: Frank Miller's Sin City 2 Still Looking for a Studio?News: Jon Cryer, William H.

This plant is well known, I do actually know its name but hesitate to mention it in case it might be illegal to propogate! It is climbing all over its companions and looking absolutely wonderful. Being sterile it just keeps on flowering. I would like some more but obviously seeds are not going to develop.
I would also like to know if a sterile hybrid is any use to the bees, they swarm all over it, but I don't know if their search is in vain - does it actually have any nectar?
Even if a plant has 'Plant Breeder's Rights', this means that you can't sell any plants you propagate, but can propagate as many as you like for your own use. Most hardy geraniums can be propagated by division.
My apologies for my mispelling of propagation - it didn't look right in the first place! Many thanks to figrat for the legal knowledge!
As it's quite legal, does anyone know when to divide Rozanne? And does it have any nectar for the bees?
(quote from above link)
"Geranium Rozanne has the most beautiful dark blue flowers with a white centre. Also known as Jolly Bee because this plant is such a rich source of nectar for bees."
Brilliant!! Thanks very much!
You can lift and divide them in the spring or in autumn - I prefer to do it in the autumn as the soil is warm and the new roots get away quicker - the soil can be cold and claggy in the spring.
I've had hardy Geraniums that have taken from bits of woody stem pulled off one pland and just stuck in the ground. They are extremely hard to kill!
When you say spade slicing what exactly do you mean? Do you slice off a shoot and plant it or are you splitting a stem and pinning it under ground like layering?
I've divided plants by using a spade, just plant or pot up the smaller pieces
For the spreading varieties Julia. Dig up a clump, then put a spade in the middle of it and slice it in half. Then half again if it's a big clump
Can be done without digging it all up if you prefer
It looks like murder but it's OK
My Rozanne was only planted a few weeks ago and although I want more I'm not sure if it's a big enough clump to divide yet. Would you play safe and leave it until next Autumn? I'd hate to lose it, I love it to bits.
Its a question of whether or not you think it is big enough to divide. I usually take pieces off new plants as soon as I get them and it usually works fine.
Thanks Ceres, I'll see what I think in a couple of weeks or so.
Just take a woody root and pop it in some MPC and water it. It will produce a plantable new plant within a few weeks.
I'll try both methods because I'd like a lot more clumps of Rozanne bless her!
Wekk you live and learn - I didn't know Jolly Bee and Rozanne were one and the same...how did that happen?
Any advice on propagating Ann Folkard?
I think that Jolly Bee and Rozanne were sold as separate varieties until it was discovered that they were genetically identical. As Jolly Bee was the latest to be marketed, they all had to be renamed Rozanne.

When veteran political consultant Blair Butterworth jettisoned mayoral candidate James Donaldson for Jan Drago's camp, it seemed an ominous sign for the 7'2" ex-Sonic, who would almost assuredly be the tallest head government honcho in American (if not world) history if elected. But Donaldson recently signed up a new consultant/campaign manager, Cindi Laws, who's also running City Attorney Tom Carr's re-election campaign, and says he has no regrets about his decision to switch his ambitions from city council to mayor.
When asked if he had second thoughts about vying for the city's top spot, Donaldson says, "Not at all. This is really exciting to me. I've just been so enthused about it since day one. I was excited about the campaign for city council, but this is a whole new level of things. What's at stake is so much greater."With Laws on board, Donaldson says they're going to "change our strategy a little bit -- a lot more of the grassroots effort, getting away from being on the phone 20 hours a week and getting out there and letting people know what the campaign is about and who I am as a person."
Of Drago's entry, he says simply: "I welcome her to come in and be part of the mayoral race. I think it adds some interesting elements to it."

Stochastic modeling of financing longevity risk in pension insurance
This work studies and develops tools to quantify and manage the risks and uncertainty relating to the pricing of annuities in the long run. To this end, an idealized Monte-Carlo simulation model is formulated, estimated and implemented, which enables one to investigate some typical pension and life insurance products. The main risks in pension insurance relate to investment performance and mortality/longevity development. We first develop stochastic models for equity and bond returns. The S&P 500 yearly total return is modeled by an uncorrelated and Normally distributed process to which exogenous Gamma distributed negative shocks arrive with Geometrically distributed interarrival times. This regime switching jump model takes into account the empirical observations of infrequent exceptionally large losses. The 5-year US government bond yearly total return is modeled as an ARMA(1,1) process after suitably log-transforming the returns. This model is able to generate long term interest rate cycles and allows rapid year-to-year corrections in the returns. We also address the parameter uncertainty in these models. We then develop a stochastic model for mortality. The chosen mortality forecasting model is the well-known model of Lee and Carter (1992), in which we use the Bayesian MCMC methods in the inference concerning the time index. Our analysis with a local version of the model showed that the assumptions of the Lee-Carter model are not fully compatible with Finnish mortality data. In particular we found that mortality has been lower than average for the cohort born in wartime. However, because the forecasts of these two models were not significantly different, we chose the more parsimonious Lee-Carter model. Although our main focus is on the total population data, we also analysed the data for males and females separately. Finally we build a flexible model for the dependence structure that allows us to generate stochastic scenarios in which mortality and economic processes are either uncorrelated, correlated or shock-correlated. By using the simulation model to generate stochastic pension cash-flows, we are then able to analyse the financing of longevity risk in pension insurance and the resulting risk management issues. This is accomplished via three case studies. Two of these concentrate on the pricing and solvency questions of a pension portfolio. The first study covers a single cohort of different sizes, and the second allows for multiple cohorts of annuitants. The final case study discusses individual pension insurance from the customer and long-term points of view. Realistic statistical long-term risk measurement is the key theme of this work, and so we compare our simulation results with the Value-at-Risk or VaR approach. The results show that the limitations of basic VaR approach must be carefully accounted for in applications. The VaR approach is the most commonly used risk measurement methodology in insurance and finance applications. For instance, it underlies the solvency capital requirement in Solvency II, which we also discuss in this work.

Altho 3 Group
Nina and the other members of the Altho 3 group are requesting their second loan from VisionFund Indonesia so they can increase their working capital. Nina will use her portion to buy children's snacks and soft drinks for her kiosk. She hopes she can open a grocery store in the market near her house and eventually send her children to the University of Indonesia.
The other group members will use their loan portions to further fund their businesses. Sriyah has an enterprise selling cooked food; Novian has a business selling clothes on credit, and Sri has a venture buying and selling rummage.
Additional Information
About VisionFund IndonesiaVisionFund Indonesia is a Christian micro venture capital organization owned by Mitra Masyarakat Sejahtera (MMS) and Wahana Visi Indonesia. Founded in 2000, VFI operates in both Jakarta and Surabaya, the two biggest cities in Indonesia. VFI targets the entrepreneurial poor who have existing microbusinesses for at least 6 months and have no financial access to commercial banks. VFI also provides microinsurance for all clients through a partnership with Allianz insurance company. With nine branches as of 2011, VFI hopes to expand in order to reach underserved microfinance markets in other islands of Indonesia.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

text: FAQ Yeah, we get asked that all the time! We hope that these frequently asked questions from other visitors will help answer some of yours. If they do not, please feel free to e-mail us at email@example.com or call us at 617-232-7844 or 617-232-7845 eastern standard time from 9:00am to 5:00pm Monday-Friday. What time can I check-in and check-out? Check-in is between 12:00pm and 10:00pm EST. Check-out time is 11:00am on the departure day. If you require a later check-out time you will be charged an additional day. Luggage may be left in the office if needed on departure day. If you need to arrive after 10:00 pm a $25 fee will apply. Why short term rentals, why not use a hotel or the like? For stays from one week to one month or longer, our short term rental suites prove to be not only much more comfortable than a cramped hotel room, but are much more affordable as well. Units are fully equipped with everything you need to make your suite feel like your home away from home. I noticed that one, two and three-bedroom apartments are not open for weekly stays. Is it ever possible to have weekly stays for these apartment types? We eliminated weekly stays for one, two and three-bedroom apartments because of the large number of people staying in Boston for a month or longer. It may be possible to arrange a weekly stay for one of these apartment types based on availability. If you need a stay of one week or longer, but less than one month, contact us and we will see if we can arrange a shorter stay for you. Weekly rates are higher than monthly rates. We can quote you a rate upon inquiry if there is availability. Can I just come to Boston and get a suite, or must I reserve in advance? We always recommend that reservations are made, especially during the peak season summer months. We will accept reservations up to one year in the future. How do I pay for my suite, when do I pay and are there any additional costs? Full payment is required at the time of booking for reservations of one month or less. For stays over one month, the first month rental plus other first month fees must be made at time of booking. Thereafter rental payments are paid on a monthly basis. Payment may be made by money order, cash, credit/debit card or check (US funds drawn on a US bank. Check payments are only accepted for stays of one month or more). There are no credit card surcharges for the initial booking, however, cards used on site are subject to a 2.5% for debit cards or a 3.5% credit card surcharge. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express cards. The only other charges would be a one-time cleaning fee detailed on the rate page. A refundable key/security deposit of $250 for weekly stays and $500 for monthly stays is due at sign in. A valid credit card may be placed on file instead of a cash deposit. Debit cards cannot be used towards your deposit. If no damages occur and no other fees are outstanding at checkout you will be refunded any paid deposit within one week after checkout by check. What's the deal with parking?Parking is available for $60 per week or $160 per month. Only cars with a parking permit may park in the lot. All others will be towed at the owners expense. What about utilities, are they included? Electric, gas, water and sewer are included in the price of the rental. However, you may be subject to a fee if we determine that your use of electricity is excessive. Will my television, telephone and internet be included in the rental price? We offer free Satellite TV programming in all apartments. We also offer free premium movie channels for our guests. High Speed Wireless Internet is offered free of charge throughout the building. This service is designed for e-mail and basic web surfing. Bandwidth is limited. If you require more dedicated bandwidth for downloading, PTP or VoIP, streaming movies or online gaming you must arrange for your own connection during your tenancy. We strive to provide wireless to each suite, however, we do not guarantee connection or speed. When available we offer limited technical support to get connected to the internet. A free local call telephone is in every apartment. If you will need to make long distance or toll calls you will need to purchase a prepaid calling card from a local store. Are my pets welcome to stay with me at Dyer Properties? Yes, we welcome your pets at our property. There is a one-time, non-refundable pet fee of $75 for weekly stays and $100 for monthly stays. We request that all pets be well behaved and quiet. When walking with pets inside the building, we request that leashes be used. We reserve the right to require a pet's removal if they are disturbance to other residents. What is your cancellation policy? We understand that sometimes plans change and you may have a need to cancel a booking that has been made. Because many of our bookings are made weeks and months in advance, it is difficult to re-rent cancelled bookings on a short notice. If you cancel your booking two weeks prior to arrival, a full refund is given to you with the exception of a $25 processing fee. If you need to cancel your booking less than two weeks before your arrival date a 50% fee of the first week or month rental payment is required, depending on whether you made a weekly or monthly booking. If you do not show at the property for the dates that you have booked you will be charged the first week or month fee that was paid at booking time. If there is a possibility that your travel plans might change or be postponed please let us know as soon as possible and we will work with you to the best of our ability. What if I have to extend my stay once there at the property? Extensions of stays while at the property are possible, however they are based upon availability. Most of our apartments are booked months in advance and during the busy seasons they are rented close together. If you will require an extension to your stay you must inform us as soon as possible. We may be able to give you an extension. In some cases there may be a need to move you to another apartment in order to extend your stay. What if I have to shorten my stay while at the property? We understand that at times plans change which can result in your not needing to be at the property for as long as you originally planned to be with us. We, however, reserved your apartment for you for the time that you initially booked it for and took it from our rental listing. Beacuse of this there are no refunds for shortened weekly stays. On monthly stays if a 30-day written notice is given to us that you need to leave early a $150 fee will apply. For notices less than one month prior to early departure one month rent will be charged. Is there a reception desk or a concierge at the property? How about cleaning, laundry and trash during my visit? We are not a hotel and thus we do not have a concierge or reception desk. We have a management office at the property. It is open Monday - Friday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. After hours and on weekends guests can call 617-232-7844 and leave a message with name, room number and question or problem and someone from our team will respond as soon as possible. Our property is a self-keep apartment-style property. The apartments are kept up by the guest. Each apartment comes with two sets of sheets and pillow cases and two towels for the number of people the apartment is designed for. If sheets need to be changed and or laundered the guests may take them to the laundry area in the lobby and do so. There are dumpster in the rear of the property where trash may be disposed. Remember when going out the back door that it is the same code as the front door, but you must use a # (pound) before it instead of a * (star). If you must have someone do your linen laundry, clean your apartment and dispose of your trash, we can arrange for someone to come to the priority to do these things. The charge for such services must be paid by the guest directly to the service person.

Good value
I've tried regular antlers in the past, with very little interest among my five dogs. I bought one of these for my youngest, a 15# Crested mix, and she absolutely loves it and has not put it down yet. The other dogs, naturally, want one too! I'll have to get more in next time. :) This size was exactly right for my little one.

it's great!
My 9 months old toy poodle loves them! I got regular split antler from pet store before and I think it's a little to hard for him to chew on. So he lose his interest in that very quick. but this one did catch his attention for quite a while.

CU: Home • A to Z • Campus Map
PBA Home > Institutional Research & Analysis > NRC Assessment of Research-Doctorate Programs > Faculty Information
Information about individual faculty
October 2010 (updated 10-7-10; new highlighted)
Quick list of links here (added 10-7-10)
We submitted to NRC lists of faculty (Excel) associated with each CU-Boulder program. In most instances, each faculty member was associated with a single program. It is possible, however, for an individual faculty member to be associated with more than one program (e.g., Professor Jones is in both the psychology program and the neuroscience program).
Selection and categorization
NRC criteria specified faculty affiliated with CU-Boulder in fall 2006, with dissertation committee activity in the prior five years. Each selected faculty member was categorized, per NRC's instructions, as either "core," "new," or "associate."
Summary of NRC rules (as implemented at CU-Boulder) on faculty lists [added 10-7-10]
A total of 959 individual faculty members were represented in CU-Boulder's NRC submission. Because a single person can be in more than one program, the number of person-by-program combinations is greater--1,113. Of the 959 "unduplicated" faculty members, 85% were in one program, 13% were in two, and 2% were in three. Of the 1,113 "duplicated," 76% were reported to NRC as core, 18% as associate, and 6% as new. Not all TTT (tenured and tenure track) faculty in programs were necessarily reported to NRC, because some did not meet the committee criteria.
Counts of CU-Boulder faculty, by program, are provided in an Excel file, which includes a table showing the total number of faculty reported to NRC, with breakdowns by category (core & new, associate). The Excel also includes a list of core and new faculty who have left CU-Boulder since 2006, and a list of faculty who are new to CU-Boulder since then. This information can help a program describe how its faculty differs from the faculty on which the NRC 2010 rankings are based.
Technical! For additional information, see the category definitions on the "Info" sheet of the Excel of CU-Boulder faculty counts, by program (Excel). In addition, a diagram or decision tree and a summary table of the NRC criteria and process of assigning the categories are available. For reference purposes, a searchable database of PhD final and comprehensive exam committees and dissertation supervision is also available. Searches may be done by student name and/or faculty name. The database has not been updated since its use in developing faculty lists for NRC.
The survey of faculty
NRC used our submitted faculty lists to survey new and core faculty members in the field, asking about their publishing career, grant activity, and the importance of various factors and quality in their field. NRC then gathered information on faculty members' honors and awards, and on publications and citations from ISI, the Institute for Scientific Information (now Thomson Reuters). PBA submitted considerable data to NRC on each of the CU-Boulder faculty who would receive a questionnaire, including information on publications. NRC also collected CV's, and used them to count books published in humanities disciplines. Except for books, NRC did not actually use publication listings on the survey except to verify ISI counts.
Some measures used by NRC, such as the percentage of faculty with grants, are based only on faculty who responded to the faculty survey. CU-Boulder's overall response rate to the faculty survey was 84%. Nationwide, 72% of faculty responded. CU-Boulder's response rates to the faculty survey, by program, are available in an Excel file, which also includes a list of all faculty invited to respond (see the "Respondent list" tab of the Excel).
Allocations -- Warning, super technical, of interest primarily to Neuroscience and Cognitive Science
Allocations are essentially weights for a faculty member's publications/citation averages in each program an individual faculty member is reported in. Most faculty listed are listed in one and only one program; for (most of) them the allocation will be 1.0, or 100%. These are especially relevant for faculty involved in Neuroscience and in Cognitive Science.
Core and associated faculty who are listed in multiple programs were assigned an "allocation" by NRC based on a formula applied to data on the faculty list (classification, N of chairs, N of total committees). The allocations for an individual cannot sum to more than 100% over programs, and were used as weights on the individual's publications, citations, honors, etc. in calculating averages for the program (not to be confused with the weights used to compute the final program ratings).
The faculty list (Excel) shows both a "raw" allocation (see column "AllocRaw" on the "List-All" tab), which was our best guess as to what NRC would calculate from data listed for the individual, and a "modified" allocation (see column "AllocMod"), which we used for overrides. The modified allocation sets the allocation to a maximum of 10% for everyone listed for Neuroscience and Cognitive Science. The publication and citation averages for the program should calculate the same with all faculty at 10%, as with all faculty at 100%. In addition, the modified allocation increases the allocation in the "home" programs (most predominately Psychology and Integrative Physiology) to compensate. This reduces the variance among allocations within the home program, so that the per-person publication/citations of people active in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science get almost as much weight in Psychology, Integrative Physiology, etc. as those of people who are only in the home program. There are some exceptions to this practice, but that was our goal.

In a bid to woo more of the casual gamers flocking to the Nintendo Wii, Microsoft is repackaging its lowest-priced version of the Xbox 360...
In a bid to woo more of the casual gamers flocking to the Nintendo Wii, Microsoft is repackaging its lowest-priced version of the Xbox 360 with games, a wireless controller and a high-definition cable.
The Xbox 360 Arcade, the company announced Monday, comes with five casual games, including "Pac-Man Championship Edition" and "Uno," as well as 256 megabytes of storage.
It sells for $280, the same price as the stripped-down Xbox 360 Core system, which includes only a wired controller and is being phased out.
The Wii, which sells for $250 but can be difficult to find, has been the surprise star of the latest generation of video-game consoles, outselling both the Xbox 360 and the Sony PlayStation 3 in the 11 months since its U.S. release.

"The Wii has done extremely well in the market," said Van Baker, an analyst with Gartner. "It's been appealing to casual gamers, so [the Xbox 360 Arcade] is meant to give [Microsoft] something that's competitive to the Wii."
Microsoft is billing the Arcade as a "family friendly" version of its game console.
It's rolling out more content on the Xbox Live network, such as Warner Bros. and Nickelodeon shows and games based on Shrek and SpongeBob SquarePants, which can be downloaded to the console.
But the limited amount of storage included with the Arcade means a user would need to buy an add-on hard drive to store more than one 30-minute, standard-definition show.
Baker said Microsoft will need to pump lots of marketing dollars into convincing casual gamers, who also spend lots of time playing PC games, that the Xbox 360 is an option for them.
"Casual gamers don't think of the Xbox 360," Baker said. "They think of the Wii."

Pale Man Bust Pans Labyrinth by CarnevaleObscuraWatch
©2011-2016 CarnevaleObscura
This is my Pale Man bust based on the character of the same name from Gullermo Del Toro's amazing movie, Pans Labyrinth. I've been in love with this grotesque character from the first time I saw this movie. This is the second incarnation of this character I've made. The first was for a Halloween costume for Halloween 2010 and was never too happy with how the mask came out so I decided to make a second one. He's made out of high quality cream latex, features a multi-layered paint scheme and is coated on the inside with a soft poly-urithane foam to keep it's shape.
Wow, this looks great! My favorite horror character!
eww!!gross....oh not your picture,the guy is gross.i loved the movie but this creature(I don't know the name)gave me nightmares...staring at it......im facing my fears :I

To the Editor.——
The recent article by Taskin et al,1 regarding tracheal carinal angle and left atrial size, warrants some comment. Elevation of the left main bronchus due to left atrial enlargement has been recognized for more than 50 years. It has also been emphasized that this is not an early sign of left atrial enlargement.The left atrium enlarges first posteriorly, then to the right, next to the left, and, finally, superiorly. Thus, posterior expansion of the left atrium is the earliest and most certain sign of enlargement of this chamber. It may be discerned radiographically in the lateral or either of the oblique projections and is best demonstrated by displacement of the barium-filled esophagus. With progressive enlargement of the left atrium, a double atrial contour may be visible inside the right heart border in the posteroanterior projection, and the left atrial appendage bulges to the left forming

Uncomfortable Reading for Council in Race Report
Byline: Samantha Lyster
An independent investigation into racism in Birmingham has revealed a gulf between institutions' efforts to tackle inequality and the perceptions of ethnic minorities.
The city's Stephen Lawrence Inquiry Commission said it was particularly concerned about the city council which it said should be playing a major part in promoting race equality.
The commission's report said the city council's efforts 'have been blunted by institutionalised racism'.
Council leader Albert Bore said the report was 'uncomfortable reading' for everyone.
'We are prepared to accept that there are things in this report that make uncomfortable reading for the city council. We will respond to the report,' said Coun Bore (Lab Ladywood)
The commission was set up in November 1999 to consider the implications of the Macpherson Inquiry into the murder of Stephen Lawrence in 1993. Its report shows that despite race relations legislation and greater social awareness, ethnic communities are still being failed.
Commission chairman District Judge Ray Singh said organisations in the city, including the city council and West Midlands Police, needed to put race issues at the heart of their planning processes.
Judge Singh said some institutions in Birmingham had done a great deal to reduce race inequality.
But he added: 'Despite this work our findings point to a fundamental mismatch between what institutions are doing to tackle racial inequality and the perceptions and experiences of minority ethnic people and communities who are employed by or receive services ... from many of these institutions.
The commission, which included councillors, a professor, a teacher and a bishop, recommended a wide-ranging 'Agenda for Action' to tackle the problems it had addressed.
Judge Singh, who is also a Commission for Racial Equality commissioner, said the city council had agreed to produce an 'action plan' within three months with a clear time scale for its implementation.
The report states the under-representation of ethnic minorities in key leadership positions and in policy and decision-making structures meant that 'decisions are made by the observers of racism and not by those with first hand knowledge'. …

The judge presiding over the Trayvon Martin shooting case has removed herself after George Zimmerman's attorney said she had a possible conflict of interest.
Florida Circuit Judge Jessica Recksiedler recused herself Wednesday because of a potential conflict that relates to her husband.
He works with Orlando attorney Mark NeJame, who was first approached by Zimmerman's family to represent the neighborhood watch volunteer.
But NeJame declined and referred them to Mark O'Mara, who is now representing Zimmerman. NeJame has since been hired by CNN to comment on the case.
Judge Kenneth M. Lester Jr. will preside over the case.
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder for the Feb. 26 shooting of the 17-year-old Martin. Zimmerman said he shot Martin in self-defense after Martin attacked him. Martin was unarmed.
