AUBURN, Wash. (June 8) – Superstar 4-year-old filly Stopshoppingdebbie remained perfect Sunday, turning aside stable mate Goin to the Window for a half-length victory in the $50,000 Washington State Legislators Stakes for older fillies and mares.
Ridden by Rocco Bowen at high weight of 123 lbs., Stopshoppingdebbie ran 6 ½ furlongs in a stakes record 1:14.20, and paid $2.60, $2.10 and $2.10. Tom Wenzel is the trainer for owner/breeder Northwest Farms (Jerre Paxton, Yakima, Wash.)
Stopshoppingdebbie is 7-for-7 with lifetime earnings of $183,773, including $27,500 for Sunday's victory. She has won, in order, the Seattle Handicap, Irish Day Handicap, Kent Handicap, Washington Oaks, Hastings Handicap and Washington State Legislators Stakes. The latter two were vs. older fillies and mares, a division she clearly dominates, and there have even been rumblings she could face males in the August 24 Longacres Mile.
Goin to the Window made her stable mate earn the victory Sunday. Rallying from fifth in the six-horse field, Goin to the Window chased Stopshoppingdebbie through the stretch and, for a moment, had jockey Juan Gutierrez believing they were about to dethrone Stopshoppingdebbie. It wasn't to be, however, and Stopshoppingdebbie prevailed.
"She had a lot more horse than it looked like," Bowen said of the winner. "She didn't get home by a big margin, but she had a lot more horse left. With these types of horses you don't need to win by 10. She's got a heart of a champion, a heart of a lion, and a heart of a colt."
Breaking from the outside No. 6 post-position, Stopshoppingdebbie stalked Blueberry Smoothie, Finding More and Madame Pele, as the leaders set fractions of :22.70 for the quarter-mile and :45.22 for the half. Stopshoppingdebbie advanced four-wide into the lane, gained a short advantage in mid-stretch and held off Goin to the Window for the victory.
Gutierrez said the runner-up ran a big race.
"Next time we're going to beat (Stopshoppingdebbie)," he said. "My filly ran huge. She relaxed early and finished great. I'm full of confidence with her. For a second, at the three-sixteenths-pole, I thought we had her.
"It's just not easy to beat a horse that good. Next stake is a mile and that'll be good for my filly."
Goin to the Window paid $6.20 and $3.40.
It was two lengths back to Blueberry Smoothie in third place, and a $2.60 show payoff. Blueberry Smoothie, like the top two finishers, is trained by Wenzel and bred and co-owned by Northwest Farms. It marked the fifth time in two seasons that Stopshoppingdebbie, Goin to the Window and Blueberry Smoothie finished first, second and third in an Emerald Downs stakes race.
Madame Pele, Tabled With Gold and Finding More completed the order of finish.
The $50,000 Boeing Handicap at one mile is next for older fillies and mares on Sunday, July 6.
NOTES: Congratulations to Seattle Times sports writer/handicapper Scott Hanson for a flawless call of Regal Valid's ($7.20) victory in Sunday's sixth race. . . Private Boss ($4.60) won the 2-year-old colts & geldings race by 5 ¾ lengths in :51.44 for 4 ½ furlongs and Fine Red Wine ($27.40) won the 2-year-old filly race by 1 ½ lengths in :51.96 for 4 ½ furlongs. . .Trainer Roy Lumm saddled two winners including Private Boss. . .After nine weeks of racing, Jeff Metz holds a 27-17 lead over Frank Lucarelli in the trainers' standings. . .Javier Matias and Ronald Richard each rode two winners Sunday. . .Leslie Mawing leads Bowen 34-31 in the jockeys' standings, with defending champion Isaias Enriquez third with 24 wins. . .Live racing resumes Friday with first post 6:45 p.m.

Milwaukee, WI (SportsNetwork.com) - Kenneth Faried poured in a season-high 26
points to lead the Denver Nuggets to a 101-90 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on
J.J. Hickson and Randy Foye both posted double-doubles. Hickson scored 14
points to go with 10 rebounds and Foye had 12 points and 10 assists for the
Nuggets, who snapped a five-game slide.
Wilson Chandler chipped in with 15 points and Timofey Mozgov added 14 points
and nine boards in the win.
Caron Butler led six Milwaukee players in double figures with 17 points and
Ersan Ilyasova added 14 points and 11 rebounds. Nate Wolters and John Henson
chipped with 12 points apiece while Giannis Antetokounmpo and O.J. Mayo
each finished with 11 points.
Both teams were active prior to Thursday's trade deadline.
With Ty Lawson battling a rib injury and Nate Robinson out for the season with
a knee injury, Denver added some depth at point guard, acquiring Aaron
Brooks from the Houston Rockets in exchange for forward Jordan Hamilton.
Additionally, the Nuggets sent guard Andre Miller to Washington and a second-
round pick to the 76ers to complete a three-team swap. Miller played a
prominent role off Denver's bench for the past two seasons but fell out of the
new head coach Brian Shaw's rotation and good graces, missing the team's last
23 games.
The Bucks, meanwhile, sent guards Gary Neal and Luke Ridnour to the Charlotte
Bobcats in exchange for guard Ramon Sessions and forward Jeff Adrien.
The Nuggets built a 9-point lead after 12 minutes and never looked back.
Denver led 14-9 after 5 1/2 minutes, but a Hickson hook shot sparked a quick
7-0 burst. Milwaukee clawed back to within three inside the final minute, but
a pair of Mozgov free throws and a Darrell Arthur jumper allowed the Nuggets
to take a 31-22 lead into the second frame.
Mayo had the hosts within three, 45-42, with his jumper with 2:10 to go in the
second, Mozgov's layup, followed by Chandler's 3-ball, made it 50-42 at the
Mayo canned a trey to make it 64-61 at the 4:25 mark of the third, but Denver
scored eight straight points to go up 72-61 before taking a 78-67 lead into
the final frame.
The Bucks pulled within five early in the fourth, but the Nuggets' lead
swelled to double-digits as Denver ran away with the win.
Earlier Thursday, Nuggets announced that center JaVale McGee underwent surgery
to repair a stress fracture in his left tibia and will be out for the rest of
the season ... Denver shot 51.3 percent from the floor ... The Bucks scored 26
points of 16 Denver turnovers ... Milwaukee was just 4-for-21 from 3-point

1988 Pontiac Firebird - Hard CoreWritten by Douglas Glad on November 1, 2007 Marty Stromberger's Low-Buck Turbocharged '88 Firebird GTA
"How long until it grenades?" Those five words started a string on turbomustangs.com that has lasted more than a year with 50,000 visits and more than 60 pages of replies. Marty Stromberger originally posted it when he decided to find out just how much boost a stock two-bolt Chevy short-block could take. So far, his '88 Firebird has made 703 hp at the wheels and runs 9.74 at 141 mph using the stock block and rotator and a set of iron heads.
The turbo idea was hatched on a road trip from Seattle to Spokane, Washington, when a thought occurred to Marty. The Buick Grand National works with a turbocharger and small-valve heads, so why not try it on a V-8? "I think the Buick is a great idea, but it is too heavy, has a six, and is not very aerodynamic," Marty says. He owned two '84 Turbo Buicks, so he knew that each of those turbos was capable of producing 375 hp each. He did the math and thought there might be a chance to hit 9.99 using two turbos and the right car. The search was on.
Marty's first score was a derelict '83 Firebird SE with a 2.8 and a five-speed from a small car lot for $387. "It drove home billowing blue smoke," Marty remembers. "But it needed everything and it was a V-6 car, so I decided to look for something else." That's when he found an '88 Firebird GTA that had been a weekend warrior/autocross car. It was cleaner than the SE and already had the V-8 parts. "I bought the GTA for $1,500 and a tailgate from a '70 Chevy truck," says Marty. "The car cost a lot more cash, but it belonged to a body man who had fixed all the little things that go wrong with the '80s throwaway cars."
Marty built the entire car himself. He learned his skills rebuilding transmissions at a garage called The Butcher Shop before moving to Tim's Hot Rod Fabrication to work for his father. He stayed there for 15 years, learning to fabricate for the street rod market. During that time, some of the big sellers at Barrett-Jackson came out of the diminutive shop a few miles east of the city. When that shop closed, Marty found a job at Shelley's Automotive, where the Firebird is beaten on its chassis dyno.
Originally, the Firebird was equipped with a 305 and a five-speed combo, with a scrawny catalytic converter welded to a massive Mufflex 4-inch exhaust system. "It sounded cool, but it ran like #@!*," says Marty. So he took the entire car apart and began to prepare it for 9-second travel. "I bought a header kit from Summit Racing and roughed out the exhaust. The A/C and the power steering had to go, but the rest of the power stuff stayed. I wanted to keep as much of it as I could." Under the car, Marty reinforced the subframe and moved the location of the torque-arm mount from the factory bracket on the transmission to the trans crossmember. "GM did that for noise and harshness, but it really should be attached to the crossmember," he says.
Marty knocked out the dings and painted the faded car black, Buick Grand National-style, and dropped in a freshly built four-bolt block with forged pistons, a steel crank, a set of Dart aluminum heads, and the twin GN turbochargers. The engine was on the transbrake at 12 psi when it exploded, taking out a couple of cylinder walls. Marty sleeved the engine and started again. "The repaired engine had a major overheating issue," says Marty. "One day it hit 260 degrees and cracked the deck, relieving the pressure and ending its life."
That's when Marty got his next great idea. The replacement motor had 150,000 miles on it and came from a guy who had been using it in his truck to commute for the last 60,000 miles. Marty was ready to get back to his junkyard roots with a little science experiment: How long until the used engine grenaded? Instead of rebuilding it, Marty just dropped it in including the original 991 truck heads with the 1.72/1.50 valves simply because they were free. "After all, the Buick GN was doing it with 1.71/1.50 valves; why not?" says Marty. That engine made 554 at the wheel on Shelley's Automotive dyno using two bone-stock '87 Grand National turbos that he bought used for $400. The only nonstock parts of the combo were 1.6:1 rockers and a Comp High Energy 268 cam swap. The small cam allowed him to pass emissions and get some tags to drive it on the street. "I got sick of trailer queens," he says.
At the strip the car ran 10.23 at 133 with 20-22 pounds of boost, and then Marty sprayed it with nitrous. "We couldn't kill it; it wouldn't die, so it needed nitrous." Using parts from a carbureted plate system, Marty plumbed a 90-shot about one foot before the throttle body. It made 616 at the wheel and hit 24 pounds of boost. At the track it carried the wheels and ran 9.75 at 141 mph. "What a good feeling," he says.
The combo was working well, so he brought out a set of 487X castings with 1.94/150 valves, changed out the springs, and did a quickie bowl blend before slapping them on the car, just to see what it would do. He pulled the pan and the mains and they looked just the way they did when he dropped the engine in, so he did nothing. By now the guys at turbomustangs.com were following along, and they donated a high-flow Edelbrock manifold base. Then Marty traded labor for a set of used aftermarket TE44 Buick turbos. On the dyno the car made 648 rwhp on the motor and then, with a 75 shot of nitrous, made 703. It also makes 700 lb-ft of torque, "and that's the fun part."
Tech Notes
Who: Marty Stromberger, a hot rod car builder
What: A twin-turbo '88 Pontiac Firebird that is way faster than it should be
Where: Right outside of Spokane, Washington, in a small shop that looks kind of like a barn, we think. But we don't actually know what a working barn looks like.
Short-block: The block is a '76 two-bolt main from a work truck that was rebuilt with 0.040-over pistons, a sleeve in one cylinder, and a cast crank. The mains "squirm," as Marty says, with boost and nitrous at the same time but so far haven't come out of the block. It has a good used timing chain and a nice new oil pump.
Heads: The head gaskets are stock-bore, off-the-shelf $8 Corteco pieces. Marty thinks the secret to his success is not detonating the engine. "A lot of people are detonating and don't know it," he says. The first set of 991 cylinder-head castings received a fresh set of valvesprings and were decked so the head gaskets would last. Originally Marty didn't use screw-in rocker-arm studs. He paid for that when the exhaust stud popped and built so much pressure in the chamber that it pulled the intake stud when the rocker tried to open the valve. He had to repair that in the car. The 487X heads have (well, one of them) threaded studs and four new exhaust seats, and the other one is stock including the press-in studs and valve guides. Marty believes that the loose valve guides tighten up under the heat of the turbo. He also has a set of nice aluminum Dart heads, but he is afraid they will get damaged if the engine explodes.
Turbos: The small set of original TBO-348 Buick GN turbos were from the local Buick guy, Mike Dopkins. The next set were Precision Turbo TE44s, which are capable of 580 hp apiece. A nice roller cam, more intake, and good set of heads would help them reach their potential.
Wastegates: The 'gates are Turbonetics Evolutions and represent one of the few parts that Marty bought new. The blow-off valves are Turbonetics Raptors.
Fuel system: The fuel pump is an Aeromotive A1000 that is rated to 1,000 hp. A Barry Grant log-style fuel filter feeds with -8AN lines, and Marty used the stock feed as a return. If you look closely you can see that the stock fuel filter is still inline. The boost-referenced regulator is from Aeromotive. The nitrous system is also fed off the main pump, and the injectors are a Siemens Deka 55-pound high-impedance set.
Controls: The Holley Commander 950 is designed for fuel injection. It is a complete stand-alone that controls the fuel and spark curves from a laptop interface.
Exhaust: The headers are from a Summit weld-up header kit that Marty thinks was designed for Sprint cars with 131/44-inch primaries that neck down to a 211/42 into the turbo. From there, twin 3-inch downpipes feed into a single 4-inch pipe and a Dynatech 4-inch muffler. After reading up on sizing, Marty designed his system to handle 1,000 hp. His decision to run the smaller primaries (rather than 2-inch) helps to prevent lag. He also believes that bigger is better with secondary sizing; he's even seen 5-inch downpipes on the big 106mm turbos.
Intake: So far the intake is the original TPI except for a high-flow base and a 58mm BBK throttle body. He also reversed the fuel fittings to feed everything from the cooler firewall side of the motor.
Ignition: Marty only runs 22 degrees of total timing. He had to buy an MSD Digital 7 with a crank trigger but uses the gutted stock distributor to throw spark. An MSD digital window switch runs the nitrous. The plugs are standard Autolite 144s for street driving with 0.030-over to keep the spark from blowing out. "A heavy-hitter motor needs a smaller gap, no matter how much ignition you have."
Street fuel: Marty uses 91-octane on the street with 12 pounds of boost maximum. On race day, he uses 110-octane from a local gas station.
Nitrous: The kit is cobbled together from a Holley plate-style system. He welded a bung on the intake side and threaded in a Fogger2 nozzle for up to a 90-shot of nitrous.
Transmission: Once he yanked the original T5, he added a TH400 that he rebuilt backward and scattered. The second TH400 spit the case bushing out and lost fluid, killing both Second gear and the torque converter. The current TH400 has a BTE 10-inch, 2,200-rpm converter with TCI transbrake. So far it is holding together.
Rearend: Marty swapped the original Australian GM nine-bolt out the door in favor of a Ford 9-inch that was left over from a street rod build. He added Dutchman big-bearing ends and 31-spline axles. Marty is looking for a 35-spline differential. Got one?
Body: Marty is using the power windows and door locks every day. He laid the carpet and the paint himself.
Friends who helped: All the dyno tuning was performed at Shelley's Automotive. The limited machine work came from Jeff Cassell at Cassell Performance Engines. Guys who might get pissed if they don't see their names are his dad, Tim, who fired him last year, Mike Decaro, and Mike Dopkins.

Eynesbury township
Eynesbury is an evolving township west of Melbourne providing not only houses and land, but also a thriving community. Being in an extremely competitive space, Eynesbury needed a digital presence to cut through the noise of competitors.
A site was needed that not only looked great but also supported large integrated marketing and advertising campaigns. The site was also required to have a number of advanced features to support potential buyers view available stock and builder house and land packages.
Oh, and it needed to be mobile and tablet friendly.DESIGN & STRATEGY
When we set out to design the new Eynesbury site with Extension, we wanted the brand and the current campaigns to be front and centre to provide the backbone of integrated campaigns. So strong photography and large imagery were key to the design.
The client also wanted a site that was constantly up to date, not only supporting the current campaign, but also the stock and availability of land in the estate.
To deliver on this, we implemented a Content Management Solution with a custom built Stock Manager so that the site visitors always had the latest availability present. To bring this site to the forefront, we worked extensively on a stunning interactive drill down map, which allows site visitors to view homesites in real time, and the current and future stages of the estate.SOLUTION
The result is a stunning digital presence with class leading functionality for a land estate development. With the CMS in place, the client can truly manage integrated media campaigns with more than lip service to a digital presence.RESULT
In an acknowledged difficult market place, eynesbury.com.au continues to be a leading estate receiving strong prospects and engagement from its target audience, both buyers and residents alike.

Our wish list for Christmas
(Page 2 of 3)
In the same vein, the state's contract with InBloom, the nonprofit consulting company, to store critical, personal student data — social security numbers, testing information, conduct, psychological problems and the like — on an amorphous "cloud," where that data can be accessed by "authorized users," is opposed by many parents. We'd like lawmakers to seek InBloom's guarantee that the information will be secure — and to give parents the choice to opt out of the system.
Legislative cooperation
After two years of contentious, toe-the-party-line battles in the County Legislature, it's long past time for some bipartisan cooperation. With four new members joining the body on Jan. 1, there is hope that new voices can help turn the tide. Legislators are elected to serve the people, not their parties, a concept we feel is too often lost. Ideas from both sides will be needed to address the major issues the county faces, and more compromise is absolutely imperative.
Affordable housing
We want our young adults and seniors to have places to live on Long Island that won't bankrupt them. We want them to be able to stay here instead of moving away. With that in mind, we urge more communities to generate realistic plans for transit-oriented development and to increase the supply of affordable housing.
A fair share for education
We would like Long Island to finally get its fair share of state education aid. For too long, we have sent more money to Albany than we get back. We're not as affluent as the rest of the state seems to think, and we should stop being used as a piggy bank for other counties. Can you hear us, state legislators?

Kudos to the editors for including inBloom on your "Wish list for Christmas" (12/19/13). The wholesale uploading of sensitive and potentially damaging data about our children is unconscionable given what we know about Wikileaks, the NSA and now the Target fiasco. Parents, teachers and now many NY State legislators adamantly oppose inBloom. It appears that its only defenders are the corporations which stand to make a profit from exploiting the data and school superintendents who are so intent on courting favor with the State Education Department that they are unable to admit the lurking dangers of this foolish experiment.

Right now I am stuck at the portion of the migration where the ZCS Migration Wizard asks me to Begin the Import Process? ... I click "Ok" to initiate and immediately I get this (see pic below) pop-up window.
Clicking "OK" on the pop-up window gets me no where with the error "Changes cannot be made while mail is running. Please logoff and try again" and I therefore have no choice but to choose "Cancel" instead which errors out as well and I get "Import Halted, Import Halted Due to Errors".
I've also attached my error log for review.
Please help!

I clicked on all of the required tabs, but instead of installing the update my zimbra desktop was no longer there. How do I recover and restore the desktop as I had some very important emails there and now I cannot find them. When I click on the zimbra icon zimbra pops up at the bottom of the desktop for 1 second and disappears. When I go to support and I type in my user name it comes up as it cannot find it. Help. Thank you in advance.

LAKE CITY, Fla. - A north Florida doctor is going to prison on Medicaid fraud and prescription drug charges in a pill mill case.
Circuit Judge Leandra Johnson gave 68-year-old Dr. Young Am Park a two-year sentence this week in Lake City.
Pill mills utilize illegal prescriptions to supply narcotics to addicts and drug dealers.
Park was accused of prescribing controlled substances such as the painkiller oxycodone outside the course of his professional practice in the case that centered on a now-defunct Jasper hospital.
Investigators discovered Medicaid was paying for many of the illegal prescriptions.
Attorney General Pam Bondi's office and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement participated in the investigation with local law enforcement agencies and prosecutors.

Beautiful, my friend! What a lovely story with such a great ending. :) You are very blessed. (as am I) Happy Valentine's Day!
I wrote the notes in the cocoa with a tooth pick dipped in (and wiped off) red food coloring. You can do it in chocolate syrup (which is what I usually use) but I thought that I may as well stick with the red for today. It writes in the frothy milk just like a pen... I love it for message making to make the morning (or afternoon if it's cold and rainy) more special.
Have a beautiful day!!

Gary Schmitt's 1933 Willys Sedan Delivery - Catch Me If You CanWritten by on December 1, 2010 Contributors: Wes Allison A Vintage HOT ROD Feature Car Returns To The Road.
If this '33 Willys looks familiar, then you have a very good memory. Featured in the Aug. '72 issue of HOT ROD, the sedan delivery was originally built and owned by Doug and Linda Gray of Pleasanton, California, to be a fun and relatively violent street car. It had a tunnel-rammed 427 Chevy under its tilt 'glass front end, a Muncie four-speed, and a 3.62:1-geared '64 Olds rear. Art Himsl's Custom Paint Studio in Concord, California, laid down the black lacquer and flames. The Grays showed the Willys at the Oakland Roadster Show in 1971 and 1972 and eventually sold it to someone in Pennsylvania, who sold it to a guy in Ohio.
The wild Willys left a lasting imprint on Riverside, California's Gary Schmitt since day one, so imagine his surprise when the car popped up on eBay. He hit the "Buy It Now" button and flew to Canton, Ohio, to check out the car. Gary says, "The chrome was rusty and the car was pretty rough, but the paint was OK. I was ready to back out of the deal when the owner's wife showed me a T-shirt they had made with the car on it. That convinced me I had to have the car."
The Willys went back to California where Gary tore apart the entire undercarriage and chromed it, then repaired an area of the paintjob he had accidentally damaged. Somewhere along the way, the four-speed was swapped in favor of an automatic, but other than that, the drivetrain and pretty much everything else is the same as it was when the car was in the magazine. Gary reports that it runs great, but he's planning on pulling out the motor and cleaning it up a little bit. He mostly shows it now, but he did drive it to the '09 Mooneyes Christmas party at Irwindale Speedway and made a few passes. The first two were just to see how it handled, but on the third pass, he stayed in it and ran 7.78 at 85 mph (eighth-mile), so by broad estimation, the Willys runs low 12s in the quarter. He's also driven the car 150 miles to the Del Mar Goodguys show, but he is starting to trailer it more now, just for preservation's sake.

Here's the feature as it appeared in the Aug. '72 issue of HOT ROD. It ended with, "All Doug has to figure out is what to do when Linda hops behind the wheel and hollers: 'Catch me if you can.'" The black-and-white pic shows an on-street wheelie.The '33 Willys-Overland Motor Co. Model 77 helped the company (later renamed Willys-Overland Motors) survive the Depression until it was one of the companies (along with Ford) that won the government contract to build the model MB (and Ford GPW),The black Naugahyde was stitched by Kenny Foster of Action Auto Interiors in 1970, and aluminum paneling was by Pete Ogden, who also did the chassis work.

Nearly 22 million persons classified as scientists and engineers were employed in the United States as of October 2010: about 5.4 million in science and engineering (S&E) occupations, 7 million in S&E-related occupations, and 9.5 million in occupations other than S&E (non-S&E) (table 1). These estimates are from the National Science Foundation's Scientists and Engineers Statistical Data System (SESTAT).
* = estimate less than 500. D = suppressed to avoid disclosure of confidential information. S = suppressed for reliability; coefficient of variation exceeds publication standards.
S&E = science and engineering.
a Data for postsecondary teachers in science fields are collected by field and are included in individual science field totals.
b Data for postsecondary teachers in engineering fields are not collected by field and are included in engineering total only.
NOTES: Numbers are rounded to nearest 1,000. Detail may not add to total because of rounding and suppression. The term scientists and engineers refers to all persons with bachelor's or higher degree in S&E or S&E-related fields, plus persons holding a non-S&E bachelor's or higher degree who were employed in an S&E or S&E-related occupation in 2010.
SOURCE: National Science Foundation, National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, Scientists and Engineers Statistical Data System (SESTAT), 2010.
Table 1 Source Data: Excel file
Data available through SESTAT are collected by three surveys: the National Survey of College Graduates (NSCG), the National Survey of Recent College Graduates (NSRCG), and the Survey of Doctorate Recipients (SDR). SESTAT integrates these data, and combined, the data provide a profile of scientists and engineers in the United States. (See "Definitions" for a full description of how scientists and engineers are classified.) This InfoBrief presents data from all four sources.
Data from SESTAT show that as of October 2010, scientists are about 17% of the S&E workforce, with computer and information scientists constituting the largest group. Engineers are about 7% of the S&E workforce. A majority of engineers work in three fields: electrical engineering (25%), mechanical engineering (19%), and civil engineering (15%). Nearly one-third of individuals in the S&E workforce have S&E-related occupations, with the largest concentration being in health-related professions (62%).
Other detailed data from SESTAT show that 44% of individuals who were trained as scientists (especially in the social sciences) or engineers work in non-S&E occupations. Thirty percent of these individuals work in other non-S&E occupations, a category that encompasses a wide variety of jobs.
Women are 45% of the overall S&E workforce and hold 28% of S&E jobs. Female scientists and engineers constitute 68% of individuals who work in health-related occupations. In science occupations, 67% of psychologists are women. Of individuals in engineering occupations, 87% are men.
Nearly three-quarters of employed scientists and engineers are white, and most (70%) scientists and engineers in S&E occupations are white. Asian scientists and engineers are the next largest group, constituting 18% of employment in S&E occupations.
The NSCG is the core of SESTAT, providing data collected over time that detail the characteristics of the entire college-educated population in the United States. Its population of college graduates includes scientists and engineers who hold at least a bachelor's degree. The NSCG provides information on individuals educated or employed in S&E fields and non-S&E fields.
Of the nearly 52 million college-educated persons represented by the 2010 NSCG, 59% reported their highest degree to be in a non-S&E degree field. Another 12% reported their highest degree to be in an S&E-related degree field, predominately health fields. About 28% reported S&E fields, with social or related sciences (11%) being the most commonly reported S&E field (table 2).
NOTES: Numbers are rounded to nearest 1,000. Detail may not add to total because of rounding. College-educated population in this table refers to individuals residing in United States as of 1 October 2010 with at least a bachelor's degree earned by 1 January 2009.
SOURCE: National Science Foundation/National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, National Survey of College Graduates, 2010.
Table 2 Source Data: Excel file
The degree fields chosen by native-born and foreign-born college graduates differ significantly. Native-born U.S. citizens comprise 86% of the college-educated population residing in the United States. Given the large size of the native-born population, the distribution of fields in which their highest degree was earned is very similar to that of the overall college-educated population.
Foreign-born college graduates (including naturalized U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens) are more likely to hold S&E and S&E-related degrees. Among the 7.2 million college-educated persons who are foreign-born, 42% hold S&E degrees and another 17% hold S&E-related degrees as their highest degree.
Whereas NSCG data in SESTAT cover the general college-educated population, the NSRCG adds the influx of recent college graduates at the bachelor's and master's degree level. The 2010 NSRCG data represent almost 1.5 million recent bachelor's and master's graduates in science, engineering, and health (SEH) fields from academic years 2008 and 2009 (about 1.1 million bachelor's graduates and 340,000 master's graduates).
As of October 2010, 82% of recent SEH graduates were employed. The unemployment rate for this group was 6.8%, which compares favorably against the 9.5% civilian unemployment rate in October 2010.[2]
The vast majority of recent graduates employed in 2010 were working full time, ranging from 70% of those with degrees in social and related sciences to 89% of engineering graduates (table 3).
NOTES: Numbers are rounded to nearest 1,000. Recent science, engineering, and health graduates are those who earned bachelor's or master's degrees in these fields from U.S. postsecondary institutions between 1 July 2007 and 30 June 2009. Employed graduates who worked 35 or more hours per week on principal job during a typical week are classified as full time; all other employed graduates are classified as part time. Detail may not add to total because of rounding.
SOURCE: National Science Foundation/National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, National Survey of Recent College Graduates, 2010.
Table 3 Source Data: Excel file
Other detailed data from the NSRCG show that part-time employment was more common among bachelor's graduates (24%) than among master's graduates (16%). Being a student was the most commonly cited reason given by recent bachelor's and master's graduates alike for working part-time. Bachelor's graduates provided "Full-time job not available" as the second most-mentioned reason for part-time employment, and master's graduates provided "Did not need or want to work more hours" as their second most-mentioned reason.
The SDR data further supplement the NSCG and the NSRCG data in SESTAT with doctoral scientists and engineers who earned their SEH doctorates from U.S. academic institutions.
The unemployment rate for SEH doctorate recipients as of October 2010 was 2.4%. The median annual salaries among those working full time varied across employment sector, with engineers reporting median salaries ($115,000) that were higher than those reported by doctorate recipients in the science and health fields ($95,000 and $93,000, respectively) (table 4).

Table 4 Source Data: Excel file
Across the three broad fields of degree, doctorate recipients working in the private, for-profit sector reported median annual salaries higher than those reported by doctorate recipients working in 4-year educational institutions. Individuals who had earned a doctorate in a science field and were employed in the federal government reported median salaries of $110,000: lower than those reported by individuals employed in the private, for-profit sector ($120,000) but higher than those reported by their counterparts working in the private, nonprofit sector ($101,000).
In general, earnings rose with experience. In the science fields, doctorate recipients who earned their doctorates before 2001 had a median salary 51% higher than that of more recent doctorate recipients ($106,000 versus $70,000). Among engineers, this difference was 37% ($130,000 versus $95,000). For those holding a doctoral degree in a health field, the difference was 27% ($104,000 versus $82,000).

As a relatively new computer science student, I am trying to find my niche within this broader field. My main goal is not academia but, well, a job. As such, I want to choose a specialization or two that will provide two benefits: 1. Interests me. I will find the work to be engaging and enjoyable. 2. I can actually get a job doing it.
My more rational brain is encouraging me to do something like database work or web development, seeing as there will likely be an ongoing need for that type of work. On the other hand, I am finding myself attracted to things like artificial intelligence and machine learning, as they both seem really fascinating. I could see myself doing some really exciting things in that area. However, I often get the impression that it's more of an academic thing than something with actual industry demand. (Though that's just my immediate perception.)
Do you think an AI specialization is likely to open up sufficient job prospects. Although it seems interesting, I'm the kinda person who is fine with doing work that isn't necessarily that interesting, and I'm more concerned with job availability and security, at this point in time.
Your thoughts are appreciated...thank you!

Constructing the Blend – Part 2 of 2Just when you finally eliminated the word "blend" from your vocabulary, we throw you a curveball by the name of Equilibrium. But before you roll your eyes and/or sigh loudly, you should taste this coffee because it's really, really delicious.
Though we have worked hard to transition many products-formerly-known-as-blends to flavor profiles that are embodied by one single-origin coffee, we would never suggest that two delicious coffees together can't be greater than the sum of its parts. Making that harmony work requires flexibility, though, and year-round products with flavor profile parameters—let's call them old school blends—don't offer that at all, so Equilibrium represents a foray into a new school. This blend is not driven by a need for consistency, but rather by the idea of capturing something fleeting, so once it's gone, it's gone. It probably won't come back. Ever. When we run out of one of the components, or when coffees begin fading, or when we have another interesting flavor (or flavor combination) to present, this coffee will disappear like a single-origin coffee and we'll move on to the next season.
Hannah put it well last week when she said, "Equilibrium is three of the most delicious coffees available to us in summer and early fall, and they somehow become even more delicious, bright, and complex when combined together." Having tasted the components, I hope you can better appreciate the interplay of flavors in the blend.

BANGOR, Maine (AP) - An Alton grandmother is facing charges for allegedly being drunk and carrying an illegal gun while her 7-year-old grandson was in the front seat of her vehicle.
Authorities say an off-duty police officer pulled over a car driven by 48-year-old Cynthia Faulkner on Interstate 395 at about 5 p.m. on Oct. 31 after seeing the vehicle driving erratically.
Police say Faulkner appeared drunk.
Police tell the Bangor Daily News they found a .30-caliber semi-automatic M1 carbine rifle in the backseat under a blanket.
Faulkner was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, driving with a suspended driver's license, endangering the welfare of a child and misdemeanor operating under the influence.

Mopar Engine Restoration - Just Like NewWritten by on September 10, 2010 The Details About Engine Restoration
We've said it before: one of the most neglected areas during a car restoration is often the engine and engine bay of the vehicle. There are countless Mopars that would be show winners, and featured here in the pages of Mopar Muscle, if only the engine and engine bay were properly restored. By properly restored, we mean clean, painted, presentable, and matching the theme of the car. If the car is a stock restoration, the engine should be painted like it was from the factory. If the car is modified, modifications to the engine and engine bay are certainly acceptable as well. This month we'll show you how to restore your engine's appearance to factory specs, and also show you some tips to make the engine bay look better than it was when the car was new.
When our Mopars were built, they were constructed by regular people working shifts on an assembly line in one of the many Chrysler factories. The automotive industry was in a growth period during the late '60s, so all of the factories were hiring new employees on a regular basis. Like most auto manufacturers, Chrysler would put new employees in entry-level positions, and they would work their way toward more challenging jobs and better pay. For painters, entry level meant painting the engine bay of the vehicle, and perhaps the inside of the trunk and inner body. For this reason, the engine bays of the majority of Mopars we've seen have at least one flaw, and often many, right from the factory.
The same goes for the engine of your Mopar. After being built at the Mound Road Engine Plant (or Chrysler's Marine & Industrial engine plant in the case of 426 Hemis), it was painted the appropriate color with a spray gun just like the car, and the guy painting it may have never painted anything before in his life. He quite likely just got the job at the engine plant and was doing his time painting engines and waiting to be promoted. Knowing this explains the vast discrepancies we've seen in the way factory engines were painted. In some cases, nearly the entire negative battery cable was the color of the engine; in others, just the end of the cable. Some engines got soaked in paint, causing runs, and others just got a light coat, leaving bare cast iron exposed. It simply depended on the painter's attention to detail, or lack thereof.
So, if you want to restore the engine and engine bay of your Mopar back to the way it was from the factory, you need to decide whether to document all of the defects and reproduce them, or to do it better than the factory did. For uniquely-optioned Mopars, or cars attempting to achieve OE Gold status, reproducing the engine and engine bay the way it came from the factory is generally considered the appropriate method of restoration, but for most of our mass-produced Mopars, spending a little extra time using modern products and restoration techniques can have your engine and engine bay looking far better than when it rolled off Chrysler's assembly line.
When we build the engine for our Mopar, most of us take advantage of modern lightweight components inside, and modern gasket and seal technology to keep the engine dry and leak-free. Technology has come a long way in the past four decades, and it's generally accepted that even a stock restoration isn't necessarily required to remain stock internally. And although a little bigger cam, lighter forged pistons, and roller rocker arms can't be seen without some disassembly, items like gaskets can, so if you want a factory look, the visible gaskets should be of the appropriate material, like cork for the valve covers and oil pan. If you're not keeping your car completely factory, however, we suggest that you take advantage of modern rubber and coated gasket technology, as the performance will be much better.
And what about the area of the engine bay where the engine sits? As the engine bay is basically a display case to show off the engine, it's extremely important for the engine compartment to be restored properly so that the engine will look its best. Again, if duplicating a factory job, you would want to paint it in single-stage paint and reproduce all of the defects, such as runs and thin or discolored paint, to give it the average look of a car built in the '60s or '70s. Since we rarely leave our cars stock, we generally agree that painting the engine bay along with the rest of the car in modern base/clear, two-stage paint is the way to go. Clear-coated paint will last longer, resist fading, and be more tolerant to oil and other fluids related to the engine and engine bay. Taking steps like masking off the K-member and giving it a coat of black paint, and painting or coating all the components in the engine bay their appropriate colors, will also make your engine bay look better than new.
When it comes to the details of the engine's appearance, a lot still depends on the intent of the car. An owner performing a completely stock restoration on a rare numbers-matching car would likely choose to paint the engine after it was built, with the exhaust manifolds, spark plugs, water outlet, and even the negative battery cable attached, and getting a certain amount of paint and overspray in the process. But for the average hot-rodder, especially the perfectionist, the poor appearance that this method produces simply won't do. For most engines, we recommend painting the individual parts when they come back from the machine shop initially, because the parts should be clean and oil-free at this time. Additionally, since most of us will use aftermarket intakes, valve covers, and even cylinder heads on our engines, painting the parts that need paint individually will give the engine crisper lines and a professional appearance. And even if you plan to use factory components on your engine, painting them before assembly, then painting the entire engine once assembled assures that the engine will remain looking good, even if the top coat gets a chip or scratch, as the same color will be underneath.
Another trick we like to employ, especially if we're using aftermarket components like aluminum cylinder heads, valve covers, or an oil pan that won't be painted, is to have an extra set of valve covers, oil pan, fuel pump (or pump block-off), intake, and even cylinder heads that are clean but won't be used. This allows us to pre-assemble the engine with our extra parts, using them to keep paint from reaching the areas we don't want painted, like the intake valley or the block's deck. So, if you ever take an engine apart and won't be using these pieces, have your local machine shop run them through the hot tank. Then, you can use them repeatedly any time you rebuild a similar type engine, saving time and effort when it comes time to paint the engine.
So, now the million-dollar question . . . what color? Again, that largely depends on the intent of the restoration, as well as the tastes of the owner. If you're building the car like the factory did, there are countless resources, both online and in print, to tell you what color the engine in your car was originally. Most factory engine paint colors are available in spray can form from companies like Summit Racing. Chrysler used many colors including turquoise, several oranges, red, and blue over the years, and sometimes multiple engine colors in a single year, so if your car is a factory restoration, be sure you do your research and use the correct color. If your car is not a factory restoration, then the sky is the limit. You can use any color you'd like on your engine, although we do prefer seeing the engine in its factory hue if possible. An exception, of course, is if the factory engine color would clash with the car's paint, or if you installed a high-performance engine in the vehicle that would have been a different color than the stock low-performance engine. One of our favorite Mopar engine colors is Race Hemi Orange because it's a subtle color that looks vastly different from the oranges of off-brand vehicles.
What if you're not planning a complete restoration at this time? There are still plenty of ways to make the engine and engine bay look better. By simply cleaning the engine bay and repainting highly visible items like the air cleaner and valve covers, you can make your car look much more presentable. So remember, don't neglect the engine or engine bay during a restoration, and you won't be afraid to open the hood the next time you're at the track, a car show, or cruise night.

This is what we usually start with when we pull the engine from our Mopar for a rebuild, especially if the car has been neglected by one or more previous owners. With a little work and the right parts, even a rough-looking engine like this can be made to appear better than new.After a trip to the hot tank at our local machine shop, Auto Performance Engines, engine parts are free from oil and grease and are generally ready to paint. We take cleanliness to the next level, however, and wash all the parts with dish soap and water, removing any contaminants that could affect our paint job.Using dry compressed air to blow all the parts off will remove any moisture left over from washing and rinsing the parts. Remember, this is as clean as the engine parts will get as they will certainly be contaminated by a certain amount of oil during assembly, so now is the best time to paint the engine parts.One trick we use is to pre-assemble the engine and exterior sheetmetal like the timing cover, oil pan, and valve covers using the proper hardware, then painting everything together ensuring complete coverage of all the parts. Even if you plan to paint the engine again after assembly, this gets a good coat of paint on the parts as a base.The parts can also be painted individually, if desired, prior to being put on the engine and recoated. The trick is to get multiple layers of paint on the clean and dry engine parts, ensuring that if the top coat gets chipped, the engine will still be the proper color underneath.Engine paint is specifically designed to be tolerant to oils and chemicals associated with an automotive engine, and it can take more heat than normal paint. Summit Racing carries a variety of engine paints, including the correct colors for all popular Mopar applications.Chances are the paintjob on your car is better than the factory paint, so there's nothing wrong with making the engine in your Mopar look better than new as well. Unless you're going for a completely factory appearance, such as for an extremely rare car or attempt to achieve OE status for your Mopar, then we're all for making the engine and engine bay look as nice as possible.Speaking of the engine bay, it should of course be treated to bodywork just like the rest of the car, then painted body color during the restoration.
Gasket technology has come a long way in four decades, and modern gaskets and seals will keep the oil inside the engine, so the engine stays looking good longer. Of course for an OE appearance, cork oil pan and valve-cover gaskets should be used for a factory look.What about the inside of the engine? It's generally accepted that the stock internal engine parts can be replaced with modern components, the theory being that if you can't see it externally, it still appears stock.With that in mind we certainly recommend taking advantage of modern camshaft grinds from Comp, or lightweight pistons and connecting rods from Summit Racing.Using spare parts to cover the engine saves your nice parts for final assembly, and also ensures that paint covers all the areas exposed once the engine is put together. All the exposed hardware also gets painted this way, so we don't have to punch holes in cardboard and paint it separately.Should you paint the core plugs along with the engine? We've found that brass plugs expand and contract during heat cycles, eventually causing the paint to flake off, so we install brass plugs after painting. Steel core plugs can be installed and painted along with the block if desired.This photo sent in by a reader is of a factory engine that was never installed in a vehicle, and clearly shows the exhaust manifolds were painted with the engine from the factory. Chrysler wasn't too particular when painting engines, often installing them with thin paint or runs. Unless your car is historically significant, we suggest doing a better job than Chrysler did when you restore it. Photo courtesy Albert and Shelly ShimelsYou'll probably want to dress your engine up with aftermarket appearance and performance products, and having a good paintjob will only make these parts look better.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing
Interesting. I would think that when discussing trophy elk states, New Mexico would be in the conversation.. And, Nevada too..
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Yeah, how in the world do you forget Nevada and New Mexico which are both definitely in the top 4.
I thought it was a pretty good read, even though it was pretty short. It was surprising that he left out New Mexico.
Very interesting leaving out New Mexico and Nevada, but giving high praise to Colorado which is known for massive slaughter of small raghorns, except in hard to draw units...Whereas I know of a large number of bulls between 360-400 taken in general tag units here in WY this year...But that being said every person you ask is going to have a different selection of the top six for the most part. But being a Idaho native, I have a hard time agreeing Idaho over new mexico and nevada in terms of number of BIG bulls that are taken each year..The name of the article says "Best state for a monster bull", yet for both colorado and Idaho it seems he makes his choice based on the fact you can just have a good hunt there with lots of elk or public land... I think he got a little off his topic when he started writing...
If he didn't mention the Gila or Nevada I'm not even going to bother reading the link!
No Nevada? He's obviously never hunted there before...

Kinematic Trajectory and Force Capture System
Advait Jain (http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~advait)
What this does
This page describes the capture system that we designed to log the kinematic trajectory through which mechanisms (doors and drawers) move and the forces used to operate them. We first used this setup in this paper: The Complex Structure of Simple Devices: A Survey of Trajectories and Forces that Open Doors and Drawers Advait Jain, Hai Nguyen, Mrinal Rath, Jason Okerman, and Charles C. Kemp. IEEE RAS/EMBS International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics (BIOROB), 2010. This paper and others can be downloaded from the Heathcare Robotics Lab website (http://www.healthcare-robotics.com)
Pictures of the Setup
This is the hardware setup that we use:
- Tilting servo: Robotis Servo (typically we use RX-28) http://www.crustcrawler.com/motors/RX28/index.php?prod=66
- This gives a serial interface to control the servo: http://www.crustcrawler.com/electronics/USB2Dynamixel/index.php?prod=65
- Hokuyo UTM. (http://www.acroname.com/robotics/parts/R314-HOKUYO-LASER4.html)
- Bracket to mount the Hokuyo on to the servo.
- This is a custom part that we have designed.
- The solidworks CAD file (utm-servo-bracket.sldprt). This requires Solidworks 2009.
- We have taken two routes for making the bracket
- buy Aluminium channels from http://mcmastercarr.com and drill the appropriate holes.
- use http://www.mfg.com to get the part manufactured from the CAD file. Will take between a week to 10 days.
- We thank Abhishek Bhatkhande for making the CAD model from the bracket design.
- Screws:
- Four M2x4 (2mm diameter, 4mm length) to connect the servo to the bracket.
- Two M3x6 or M3x8 to connect the UTM to the bracket.
- Longer screws will require washers.
The image on the right shows how we power the Robotis servos and connect to the USB2Dynamixel converter.
- The block labeled 12V is a power supply that takes unregulated 24V as input (red and white cables ending in a connector) and gives 12V regulated as output. Regulated power is not required for the servos but we also use the same power supply for Hokuyos and so find it convenient. RX28 servos can take between 12V and 16V (I think. Please read the manual to confirm).
- The output of this power block in the image is are the green (GND) and red (12V) wires.
- GND goes to both the USB2Dynamixel and the Robotis servo.
- 12V goes to the servo only. Notice that a cable on the USB2Dynamixel is clipped. This is intentional and is the one that is labeled N/C on the USB2Dynamixel. Connecting 12V to that causes the USB2Dynamixel to burn.
- The rest of the wiring from the USB2Dynamixel is simply straight connections for the RS485 communication.
- The RX28's communicate using RS485 protocol. Ensure that the USB2Dynamixel toggle switch is set to RS485.
- ROS (http://www.ros.org)
- You will need the following ROS packages from our public ROS repository (available at http://code.google.com/p/gt-ros-pkg/wiki/hrl_content_summary)

Florida has a new education commissioner and a new focus for students.
Dr. Tony Bennett spoke in front of the Governor and State Cabinet for the first time Wednesday.
Bennett says he's focused on phasing out the controversial FCAT and helping schools transition to the new Common Core Standards.
"I think the most important thing we have to do is think about how we are going to transition to the next generation of assessment which will be the assessment of the Common Core state standards and that's something Governor Scott asked me to put at the top of my priority list," said Bennett.
Bennett also spoke to the Senate Education Committee.
He comes to Florida from Indian where he lost his bid for a second term as the head of education in the Hoosier State.
