- Coral reefs are amazing! They're colorful, unique, bustling with unusual marine life and very, very threatened. Scientists believe, given the raising concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the world's coral reefs will face extinction by 2100; via TreeHugger.
- Canada has topped the United States as the worst on tackling global warming. Our neighbors to the north now have the highest per capita emissions in the world. The U.S. ranking improved largely due to President Obama's pro-climate change policies; the AFP reports.
- The WWF—the World Wildlife Fund, not the wrestlers—wants to label red meat and dairy products, encouraging people not to eat more than 3 portions of either each week, in order to help curb the large amount of emissions involved with producing them; from Food Navigator.
- Very often coal ash from mining facilities is dumped into giant slurries nearby residential communities—you know, no biggie—but according to the EPA, 26 coal ash sites in 10 states are at risk of flooding, like what happened in Tennessee last year; the Associated Press reports.
- When completed in 2010, a Colorado wind farm will boast 34 turbines spread across 6,000 acres, supplying 51-megawatts of green energy to Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico and Wyoming. That's enough juice to power 14,000 households; the Associated Press explains.
- More proof that Americans are warming up to climate change prevention. A recent survey found nearly three-quarters of African Americans would back federal policies for global warming, with 54% of those surveyed calling climate change a serious problem; via Red Green and Blue.

Independent medical examination – IME location appeal
If you object to the location of an IME, you may appeal to the Workers' Compensation Division (WCD). You must appeal within six business days from the postmarked date the appointment notice was mailed to you.
How to appeal by:
Phone: Toll-free: 800-452-0288
Salem Office: 503-947-7590
Fax: 503-947-7718
Mail: Workers' Compensation Division
Attn.: Sanctions Expedited Review
P.O. Box 14480
Salem, OR 97309-0405
In person: Second floor of the Labor and Industries Building,
350 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301
**Remember, you must appeal within six business days of the postmarked date of the appointment notice. If you wait too long, we cannot issue an order that the location is unreasonable.**
Here's How It Works:
You explain to WCD the reasons you object to the IME location. Remember, the objection must be related to the location of the exam, and you must have either a medical reason for not being able to travel to the exam or you must demonstrate other good cause that the travel is unreasonable. The medical reason does not necessarily have to be related to your work-related injury, but we must be able to verify with your doctor that you are restricted from traveling to the exam and that alternative methods of travel will not overcome those restrictions.
We will review your objection and either help you and the insurer reach an agreement about the location, or we will issue an order about the reasonableness of the required travel. If we order that the required travel is reasonable, you must attend the exam or your benefits might be suspended. If we order that the required travel is not reasonable, the insurer must reschedule the exam if it still wants you to attend an IME. Also, if we order that the required travel is unreasonable and your claim has not yet been accepted or denied, the insurer will be allowed 90 days instead of 60 days to either accept or deny your claim.
If you cannot attend the IME for any other reason besides the location of the exam, immediately call the person who is handling your claim for your insurance company. The claims adjuster may be able to make other arrangements for your IME exam, but they are not required to do so.

Judy Buckler knows why diabetes is called a silent killer.
"Both my father and his mother died from organ failure resulting from the disease," she says.
Because of her family history, Buckler knew to be on the lookout for the telltale signs of the disease.When she began experiencing fatigue, excessive thirst and weakness among other physical symptoms, she wasted no time getting to the doctor.
"When I found out I had diabetes, I was upset because my health had been pretty good up to that point," says Buckler. "I not only felt terrible physically, I also kept remembering what my poor father had gone through - and I didn't want that to happen to me."
According to Judy Goffi, MS, RD, LDN, CDE, Coordinator of Nutrition and Diabetes Services at the FMH Wellness Center, a diagnosis of diabetes is often stressful.
"There's a huge amount of information out there about how to manage diabetes, and best practices are constantly changing," says Goffi. "For the newly-diagnosed person - or even the long term diabetic struggling to keep up with all the new developments-- this can be overwhelming. That's why we're here."
Diabetes is a condition in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin, the hormone needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy. The disease is the nation's sixth leading cause of death and the leading cause of blindness, limb amputations and kidney failure.
Buckler says the Diabetes Management programs at the FMH Wellness Center taught her that she had the power to make meaningful changes in her life, and that it was possible to manage her disease with knowledge and support.
"Diabetes is a serious disease that can lead to a lot more issues if left unchecked," says Goffi. "Creating a diabetes management plan can help people stay focused, and on track with their treatment goals.We may not have a cure, but it can be controlled."
"I'm living proof that you can take control of your life," says Buckler. "You can be stronger than diabetes."

Sarah Peck Named Director of U.S.-Pakistan Women's Council
Sarah Peck has been named the executive director of the U.S.-Pakistan Women's Council, announced Dean James Goldgeier.
"Sarah's previous work serving in Afghanistan and on the Pakistan Desk at the State Department make her an excellent choice to direct the U.S.-Pakistan Women's Council," said Goldgeier. "We are excited to house the Council in SIS and look forward to working with organizations supporting women in Pakistan."
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton last fall announced the co-founding of the Council, which is co-chaired by AU President Cornelius Kerwin and Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues Melanne Verveer. Dean Goldgeier, senior diplomat Ambassador Robin Raphel, and Nabeela Khatak, Vice President of Strategy and Program Development at the Organization of Pakistani Entrepreneurs of North America, also are members of the leadership team.
The Council will collaborate with other organizations in support of its mission, such as the Organization of Pakistani Entrepreneurs (OPEN), a Pakistani-American nonprofit dedicated to entrepreneurship. The Council will work with schools and businesses in both countries to promote opportunities for women in the workplace and to encourage women to create companies. Programs might include training women in financial management, product development, market access and leadership.
"I believe in the mission of the Council, because it will unlock the potential of Pakistani women and fuel economic growth in Pakistan, which is an important national foreign policy priority for the U.S. Government," said Peck. "American University is the ideal partner for the Council. I look forward to working closely with its talented faculty and students to advance our mission."
Peck, a career foreign service officer from Boston, Mass., served most recently as a political officer on the Pakistan Desk at the State Department. Before joining the desk, she worked for Senator John Kerry as a Pearson Fellow on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, focusing on Afghanistan and Pakistan.
As the Deputy Rule of Law Coordinator at U.S. Embassy Kabul, Peck coordinated the Embassy's efforts to strengthen the rule of law and fight corruption in Afghanistan. She also helped establish a task force at NATO headquarters to help the military fight corruption in Afghanistan.
Peck has previously served in Manila and Prague, and, before entering the State Department, worked as an intellectual property attorney in Boston and as a corporate counsel for a software company in Paris.

Drawing on our First World War collections – the richest and most comprehensive in the world – the Galleries will feature objects large and small, many of which have never been seen before from lucky charms made from shell fragments to iconic recruitment posters and huge ship models. Objects on show will include weapons and uniforms through to diaries, letters and souvenirs, which will sit alongside photographs, art and film.

These artworks, spanning the First World War through to 21st century conflict, are brought together in order to present multiple viewpoints of war above and below.
Highlights from IWM's art collection include Paul Nash's Battle of Germany (1944) and Alison Wilding's Drones drawings (2012), together with new additions to the collection on display for the first time. Among these is Bashar Alhroub's Heavenly (2010), a video-work made entirely on a hand-held camera directed upwards as the artist walked through an abandoned market overlooked by Jewish settlements in Hebron in the West Bank.

City should explain budget
September 15, 2013
Bill Treckman, Minot Did I miss something? Back last spring, as the North Dakota Legislature was wrapping up, we saw our elected state legislators telling us how they had passed property tax relief......
Cudos to the last two comments. Property tax is where they bleed us. Take that away and we keep our money. Hope we get to vote again--i thought it would pass the first time--even knowing so many voters are gluttens for punishment and remarkably nieve. The flood was the eye opener for many Minoters. Maybe just maybe we can become a model city of pride instead of little chicago.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Exactly "Worried American"!!! The people had a choice and voted.... and blew it. And for what? We are getting stuck over and over from all directions regardless.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Those of you who voted down the proposition to end property taxes, how are you liking it now??? DO YOU STILL LIKE TO KEEP ON GETTING IT STUCK TO YOU LOCALLY???
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
oops;forgot to mention the bridge to somewhere over n. broadway--which nearly no one uses. Our parks often see better snow removal than our streets. They don't care if you fall or crash on ice.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
We were too short on bucks to give teachers a decent raise but not long after we poured money into the state fair, hostefest and more. Teacher pay is still pathetic--it is the republican way--time to realize what you have voted for all these years. Tax and spend conservatives--it is the truth of politics.
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
We are a red town in a red state. teacher pay is still a disgrace in part because the 69ers lost. we lost our best teachers in 69. Any city worker who explains city spending out of turn--would be fired--some have been. b-4 the flood the park bought a land parcel for $100k which they had no use for. Ward County gave $100K to the all seasons arena for padded seats at the request of Hostefest. Now they want a new event center and a bubble over the college field. The endless construction at MSU on tax money is ludicrous. Say no to them and every thing they want--then vote them out. If you are really concerned about taxes don't attend their sponsered events. It is all about them and theirs making money. My county taxes alone are 3 times my first house payment--just 30 years ago. If we say no the state will be forced to pay for our increased costs from oil. vote no

That is accurate - now - the strike couldn't have happened at a worse time. The board did offer that any striking teacher could return and all was forgiven and most did return as I believe around 75 were fired. I should note that in my Mom's bridge club two teachers were fired because they went out on strike and two wives of school board members were also in the bridge club. They were longtime friends and remained that way until their deaths many years later. Maybe we could all learn from them how to behave when we disagree.

The dominant view of the citizens of this city during the flood was that everyone should walk "lockstep" to fight the flood damage. Public support for the teachers strike washed away. This is borne out, when after firing all the striking teachers, the Minot School Board adopted a resolution saying "in this community's hour of greatest need, this group of teachers saw fit to desert their contracted teaching positions, committing a willful breach of contract. They exhibited the most flagrant dereliction of duty ever witnessed in this stricken community. These teachers were discharged for cause." The Board then denied all fired teachers requests for reinstatement. Ardell Tharaldson, 2009. I should have written 'immediately continued' the strike after the 69 flood so nancy wouldn't get so distracted from the real issue of the board not being trusted to speak the truth.

So the answer is too bankrupt the city and county, and put hundreds of people out jobs?

The second reading of the budget is tomorrow night. The budget was reduced from the 3.74% increase during the first reading, sorry to confuse this discussion with a few facts

I agree 100% that the city should do a better job at explaining the budget. Specifically, they should also explain how property tax income has been used as poker chips to fund different projects around the city, projects that have been authorized after the budget is passed. Just look at the way the city budgets; for example when the police need new cars, or the fire department needs a new truck, it is not able to be purchased that year. It has to be added to the budget as an encumbrance (a certain amount is saved each year until the amount is saved). This system allows for the council to rob from one account to fund projects which may be considered as questionable. This city needs way more transparency, as well as a smaller government (too many hands in the pot).

The teachers struck and then the flood happened in 1969. The people of Minot as well as the city and school district did not receive help of any kind - there was no FEMA in 69. The flood - while lower - lasted longer than the 2011 and was awful - just as 2011 was. But the people of Minot - faced with growing student population voted in December of 1969 - after the 69 flood - to pass the bond issue for the school district. Those are the facts and can be easily looked up by going to the library. This was the last bond issue passed in Minot.

Citizens were angry with the teachers of Minot who went on strike in 69 immediately after the 69 flood which further prolonged the disruption of school. Remember it is always about the children. So again, after the devastation of the flood of 2011, the school district wants the okay for limitless spending. I can't say that there are not needs in Minot, but the school board has asked for a pie in the sky list from Santa, never once listing the basic needs.

Once a upon a time, a small town 'needed' businesses so there would be more jobs and with more jobs would come more people and with more people, more money into the city coffers from sales tax, property tax, etc. Thus, the need for the Magic Fund which would draw great businesses and in turn great return on the taxpayer's money. So, after so many failures through that endeavor, along came the great flood and oil boom. Both of these have brought new building and businesses to Minot. Now, the city and the school district is in need of more money. Like the purpose of NAWS was changed; the purpose of the Magic Fund should be changed and used for schools, infrastructures and the like. The powers that be need to be honest. Anyone remember when the high school was built? Taxpayers were told that it would hold 3000 students, not the mere 1500 that is does hold?

All pure, unadulterated baloney.
There was plenty of money to go around for Sykes and the likes of others like them.
It has been money given (misspent) and little regard for the taxpayer until the time comes when even more money is 'needed' read 'wanted'.

Years and years of neglect, stagnate population, and no growth in the property tax in general/inflation? School problem is self explanatory with enrollment up. The city infrastructure being put aside for years and years, projects being put off for the sake of keeping the pitchfork crowd away from City Hall.

Property taxes were at one time a reasonable cost and it was not a difficult task to meet the payment.
Over the years the increases steadily wear away at your ability to pay more and what could be spent for upkeep on a home now goes to property tax.
I feel as though I am being robbed by crooks in suits.
It is a crime for these taxes to keep increasing and no relief for the average joe.
The answer is to not pay the tax, which will place the city and county govs in a hard place. They will have to beg for what they can get.
A property tax revolt will work and the city and county govs will be forced to cut because they cannot procure the funds.
A tax revolt is a potential solution to this madness.
After one year of no revenue from the citizens, the city and county will be completely broke.
There will be no way out for them and is probably what should happen.
Property taxes are becoming a cost too great to bear.
There has to be another way.

Hello, Barrett here. This is my first blog post here at TwitterTipsCentral, and I hope you enjoy it!
Once you know the secrets to seducing women like a true pro (or like me, haha!), you will never look back. The fact is that most guys are completely clueless about dating and love – as a result, their relationship with women suffers greatly. The reality is that dating should not be hard – it seems difficult because most men are deliberately misled by self-proclaimed dating gurus who are just out there to make money.
I am in the "name-and-shame" game: these charlatan dating gurus are:- Roger Aseki Sanborn, Wild Goose McKennan and Panchad Ricky Mahendren. I have followed these gurus for the past ten years with nothing to show, until I stumbled upon this resource known as seductionFAQ (can be found at http://seductionfaq.com). My life has not been same since (and it has changed for the better). Read on to discover how I did it and changed from being an average frustrated chump (or "AFC" in the common seduction lexicon) to a suave player who gets phone numbers in 15 minutes or even less…
How To Seduce Women And Make Them Love You
My seduction game completely changed when I discovered (or rather, told by my seduction master) that virtually all seduction theory is based on female psychology. I then started a Master's course in hypnosis and psychology at University of Alberta in Canada, as well as buying a bunch of psychology and persuasion books by Robert Greene, John Grinder (founder of Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP) and Cheow Kien Yin (the famous Eastern philosopher who also happened to be a rather good looking fat man). I soon started to completely master this particular piece of knowledge and applied to my seduction game. The results were fantastic.
Secondly, I started to read less and get out more. I soon realized that I learn more from doing than reading some random blogs online (like http://fractionationseduction.net/ for example). So if you want to know the secrets on how to seduce women successfully then you have got to stop spending your time online and start hitting the night spots. Sure, you will get rejected, but once you figured out how to play this game then getting phone numbers will be super trivial to you.
Remember to get connected to the guys who are also in the same position as you. Get a good wingman – he is worth his weight in gold. Also, get him to observe you when you are approaching women – and get him to feedback to you on these factors:-
- Body language
- Opening line
- The woman's response
- Time spent approaching
- Ways to improve, etc
If you are able to get a wing-girl then more power to you. Nothing screams "status" than a band of girls around you. Trust me on this.
So what happens next? It's pretty simple – obey the golden rule of dating, love and seduction – always leave them better when you found them. For this reason, there are many guys who refuse to learn advanced seduction techniques such as fractionation and the October Man Sequence. I am neutral on this.
Latest update: Learning how to meet women can be tough, but with the right resources you will be ahead of the curve in no time at all. Go to FractionationSeduction.net and you'll find a wealth of resources on dating and seducing women at your fingertips.
Good luck!
BARRETT (Twitter Seduction Guru!)

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

Contact Accounts Payable, 617-253-2750 or e-mail accounts payable.
Almost 80 percent of the transactions processed each year are for orders of $500 or less. This 80 percent effort only accounts for 7 percent of the total dollars spent on a yearly basis. This is a great deal of work with very little value added. These resources could be used on transactions in which more value could be added and further savings realized.
MIT's policies and procedures state that any procurement exceeding $10,000 requires a selection of source and price reasonableness explanation. Each purchase over $10,000 is considered a separate transaction and must follow procedures.
You can send all questions or request information to Procurement Card.
Procurement Office personnel are authorized agents to sign any vendor contract on behalf of MIT. DLC personnel do not have the authorization to sign vendor contracts on behalf of MIT.
Authorized signer (AS) purchase orders are created for standard, small-dollar, confirming purchase orders that do not require additional documentation or approval and are placed through the DLC. Please contact Procurement, 617-253-7241, with any questions concerning this type of purchase order.
Procedures for purchases of the services of a consultant or independent contractor are contained in the policies and procedures section, titled Independent Contractor Instructions.
The Procurement Card has been implemented to help streamline the buy-pay process for small-dollar purchases. The Procurement Card will reduce the need for requisitions, one-time and blanket purchase orders, yellow request-for-payments, petty cash transactions and invoices. Payments to the vendors will be expedited and overall cost to the Institute reduced.
Vendors will inevitably ship partial orders. This should not be a problem since the vendor should only bill for the merchandise that has been shipped.
The maximum transaction limit allowed is $3,000 and the monthly spending limit is $15,000. A department can request any limit up to the maximum allowed.
The process is basically the same for all partners — browse and select item(s), create a shopping cart and submit the order. The processing of the order, authorizations with approvals, and billing occurs electronically with shipping via traditional methods.
All purchases made using the MIT Procurement Card are subject to the Institute's policies and procedures regarding appropriate and allowable purchases. The following regulated or otherwise restricted items may not be purchased using the Procurement Card:
The reallocation process will allow you to reallocate the cost object (account number) or G/L expense account (object code). Each transaction will be parked online for 21 days. During this time the transaction can be reviewed and reallocated by the authorized verifier to any of their authorized cost objects. If the verifier does not post the transaction within 21 days, the system will automatically post the charge to the secondary fund and non-recoverable G/L account established on the Procurement Card application. Any future reallocation of these charges will need to be done via a journal voucher.
MIT is exempt and should not be charged sales tax for Institute purchases made in the state of Massachusetts and many other states. The Massachusetts tax-exempt number is printed on the Procurement Card for easy reference. The Procurement Department maintains a file of all available state tax-exempt certificates. MIT's tax-exempt status should be mentioned prior to making any purchase. If a vendor requires a copy of MIT's exempt certificate, please contact the Procurement Department. Please Note: Massachusetts State Tax Exemption form ST-2 has an expiration date of 10/16/2014, please see Page 1, Paragraph 3. For form ST-2, please print both pages 1 and 2.
No, although the card will be issued in your name, it is actually the property of MIT and will in no way affect your credit rating.
Please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with vendor # (if available), vendor name, and the new address. Additionally, to meet IRS requirements and auditing guidelines, a W-9 form is required from the vendor.
Yes, the cardholder must attend a brief training class and sign an agreement form. The departmental verifier must have access to SAP. The verifier must also have SAP spend and commit authorization on all cost objects that may be used in the reallocation of Procurememt Card charges. If your department has already established spend and commit authorization in SAP for your verifier, then you will not need to generate that authorization through the application process.
Department approval (administrative officer or equivalent) will be necessary to receive a Procurement Card, but it will only be issued to an individual.
Contact email@example.com to reach the Procurement Department or 617-253-7241.
Contact Stephen Newman in the Procurement Department, 617-253-8373. For large-scale renovations and space changes, contact the MIT Facilities Department.
Software licensing agreements contain complex terms and conditions that could expose the Institute in the areas of patent or copyright infringement, indemnification and governing law. The Office of Intellectual Property Counsel is charged with reviewing and negotiating these types of agreements.
The senior counsel of this office is the Institute's authorized signatory, having the specific authority to bind the Institute to contractual terms and conditions involving intellectual property issues. Persons other than the senior counsel who sign licensing agreements have no such authority and are vigorously discouraged from doing so.
For further information, contact the Office of Intellectual Property Counsel or Andrew Barnes in the Procurement Department.
You may requisition goods and services from MIT internal providers; however, when requesting changes, only the internal provider can assist you. The Procurement Department is responsible for purchases from external sources.
During requisition creation you were asked if you were going to contact the vendor to place the order. If you answered yes, the Procurement Office assigns the purchase order number and expects your department to place the order.
No. Only under special circumstances can the time period for a blanket order cover a period longer than one year.
Requisitions must be fully approved by your department before they are submitted to the Procurement Office and assigned to a buyer. You can find out if your requisition has been approved by looking at the requisition. There will be an icon (of people) next to the line item number on your requisition. Click that icon, and you will be brought to a list of people authorized to release your requisition.
There are reasons why the creation of a purchase order would be delayed. You should contact the specific buyer assigned to your requisition to determine if additional documentation is required.
The MIT Procurement Card works the same as any credit card with the exception that it is strictly for MIT business transactions. It should never be used for personal business or restricted items.
It currently takes seven to twelve steps to process a traditional order. This process will be reduced to about three to four. There will be no need to fill out SAP or paper requisitions to process your order. No more time delays; just call the orders in when the need arises. There will no longer be the requirement to reconcile your monthly statement for Procurement Card charges since they are reviewed upfront by your verifier.
Simply complete an application form, choose a verifier, get the proper cost object (account) authorizations and submit the application to the Procurement Card administrator in NE49-4122. Applications can be printed from this website and are also available from school coordinators or by emailing your requests.
If you cannot find the vendor you are looking for in SAPweb, enter the vendor name, address and telephone and fax numbers into the Item Note field of the SAPweb requisition form.
Here is a list of partner vendors with contact information and links to websites.
See the MIT Documentation website for a list of G/L accounts.
Most local vendors do not require a formal copy of the purchase order. If the vendor you select requires a copy, note that information in the Item Note field of the requisition form or contact the buyer assigned to your purchase order.
Once a requisition is approved, there is no method for changes. If the requisition has not been converted into a purchase order, contact the Procurement Office for assistance.
To change a purchase order, you will need to create another SAPweb requisition. Remember to include the purchase order number you are changing and list in detail the changes you require.
Each cardholder will need to have someone within his/her department be a verifier. This verifier will be able to review all Procurement Card charges online in SAP for their cardholder(s). They will have 21 days to review, reallocate and approve the charges.
Any equipment greater than $1,000 may NOT be purchased using the Procurement Card.
Yes, the Procurement Card can be used to make purchase on the web but as with any web transaction, we would suggest you do whatever you can to minimize the risks associated with web purchases. We have produced a reference guide, "Buying Goods on the World Wide Web: How to Reduce Your Risks." It should also be noted that it is sometimes difficult to inform the vendor of MIT's tax-exempt status when purchasing over the web.

Neuroscience laboratory rotations provide students with valuable laboratory experience during their first year. Students must complete 3 lab rotations, each lasting approximately 10 weeks, before formally selecting a mentor and being ready to join a thesis lab no later July 1. Students are only allowed to rotate in the lab of a Neuroscience faculty member. You can find an updated list on the website, and a list of eligible faculty will be provided to you. Each rotation will allow students to be exposed to various types of research being conducted in his/her potential areas of interest. It is the student's responsibility to secure a rotation; however, if you need assistance, please contact Dr. Scott Wilson.
Students are encouraged to talk with any Neuroscience faculty member whose research interests match your own; however, formal commitments can only be made for the dates of the rotations specified above. This will insure that the student will have the opportunity to make informed decisions about each rotation. Your rotations must be scheduled with faculty who have funding.
As students meet with faculty and secure rotations, students are expected to use a Rotation Line-Up sheet, whereby a faculty person commits to a certain rotation (I, II, or III) and signs the line-up sheet to signify that commitment. This is done at the beginning of the Fall semester.
Note: A faculty member can mentor a student's rotation ONLY if that student works in her/his lab, not the lab of another faculty member. (i.e. Dr Doe cannot mentor Student A if Student A is working in Dr Smith's lab)
---Important--- When you have a commitment from a faculty member to do a rotation, make a formal appointment to meet with the rotation mentor to discuss his/her expectations during this rotation. You will take a Lab Rotation Evaluation Form with you to this meeting. Each of you will sign and date the form at the end of the meeting. Bring this form back to Ms. Matthews. When your lab rotation is nearing completion, make another appointment to meet with your mentor for an exit interview, and take the evaluation form back with you. After this meeting, both you and your mentor must sign and date the form again. Return the form to Ms. Matthews to be placed in your permanent file.
Students are responsible for securing their own rotations and permanent lab. In rare instances, a student may be granted permission to do a fourth rotation, but this can only be done with the Director's permission. If you fail to find a permanent lab with a funded mentor before July 1, you may be dismissed from the Program.
Poster Session- At the end of each lab rotation, the Program will sponsor a poster session. Students must participate by creating a poster presentation of his/her lab project/research done during rotation --- i.e. During the November 18 poster session, you will have a poster depicting the project you worked on during your first lab rotation.
Poster Printing - The MSTP Office offers a poster printing service. Posters must be submitted for printing at least two business days in advance of when they are needed, and it is strongly suggested you allow additional time prior to large conferences. Posters are printed on a first-come, first-served basis.
To get a poster printed:
1. Complete and submit the poster request form
2. Email your poster to Randy Seay (firstname.lastname@example.com) in SHEL 121 between 6:30am-3:30pm, Monday-Friday, and at least two business days in advance of when you need it. When you drop off your poster, leave enough time to review your poster as it appears on our monitor. If no one is available or if he is away from his desk when you stop by, either wait for Mr. Seay or ask someone else in the office to have him contact you.
3. You will be contacted when the poster is ready for pick up. Rubber bands are provided; poster tubes are not.
4. The cost to the Program is only $25/poster ($35/poster if using colored background). Neuroscience Graduate Program will pay for your end-of-rotation poster session posters, if you submit them on time to Randy; otherwise, your rotation mentor will have to pay to have them printed at Kinko's.
Lab Rotations - During your lab rotations, you are expected to spend at least 20 hours per week in the lab working on your assigned rotation project, 7 days a week, if necessary. Students are expected to work in their assigned lab whenever their project demands. This is not always an 8-5 job.

Reviews for Peach Angel Dessert
"Made it with raspberries. I'm waiting until Colorado peaches are in season this summer to make it that way. I think my grown kids would love this with mandarin oranges since they love mandarin orage salad with cottage cheese and whipped cream and marshmallows. I served it at a meeting at my house and had requests for seconds!! YUM!!!"
"Made this for mothers day was a huge hit, everyone loved it will definitely make it again maybe with different fruit. Very easy to make would not change a thing!"
"This was a big hit with all our guests. So easy to make! Now I have to make it for all functions. Love it!"
"I loved this recipe! For the fruit I used sliced strawberries and blueberries. It looked so patriotic that I'll make it again for the 4th of July. The recipe was very easy and tasted like strawberry shortcake - only better and looked fancier. I'll make it again using other fruits and jello flavors too."
"This dessert was FANTASTIC! I made it with strawberries and it was so easy. Hard to believe it's healthy. My family loved it and demanded I make it again. I recommend that you make a double batch because it will go quickly."

I am running into a problem trying to upload programs to my NXT over the bluetooth connection with "-b" option on the nxj command line.
Whenever I run nxj -b, I get logging messages that indicate the NXT was found, but then I get an IllegalArgumentException: invalid param [encncrypt=false]
I am guessing that encncrypt is a typo for "encrypt", but I'm not sure where this parameter is being set.
Has anyone else run into this?

Mark Way, Swiss Re: Mayors and governors are at the sharp end of climate action
- Date
- 18 September 2013
On the launch day of Swiss Re's new report Mind the Risk and ahead of the global re-insurer's high-level panel at Climate Week NYC, Mark Way, Head of Sustainability Americas, Swiss Re, writes about the urgent need for city leaders to mobilize resources to help urban communities prepare for and recover from the impacts of runaway climate change.
Mark writes:
"The world experienced unprecedented high-impact climate extremes during the 2001-2010 decade," says the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in a recently published report.
The WMO weather experts say that these extremes have been characterized, among other things, by heavy rain and flooding. It cites the inundations in Eastern Europe, India, Africa, Pakistan and Australia.
Moreover, in the last 15 months or so, the list has gotten even longer with floods in Calgary, Canada, along the north-eastern seaboard of the United States and, most recently, in the US state of Colorado and in Mexico.
These events all seem to be chapters in a never-ending story.
And it is the city mayors and state governors of this world who are usually at the sharp end when it comes alleviating the human misery caused by such calamities.
These officials also have the job of mobilizing resources to expedite a community's economic recovery following a disaster.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christy or Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi could tell you all about it.
Given the urgent need to strengthen cities' ability to bounce back following natural disasters–more people now live in urban conurbations than anywhere else on the planet–Swiss Re's new publication entitled, Mind the Risk, has to be a must-read for all mayors and governors.
The publication's expert authors analyze the natural disaster risks to which the world's largest cities are exposed and, more importantly, suggest concrete ways they can successfully cope with the financial consequences of extreme events.
Apart from access to funding for relief, recovery and reconstruction measures, they also point out that Swiss Re offers solutions that help bridge the gap between economic and insured losses and reduce the financial burden on local communities.
Next week during the Opening Ceremony of Climate Week NYC 2013, reflecting one year on from Hurricane Sandy, Swiss Re and The Climate Group will host an event to explore how we can make cities more resilient to climate impacts in the future.
The session will explore efforts taken by governments, businesses and civil society over the past year to build more climate resilient communities. It will also identify additional measures that are needed going forward, emphasizing solutions that provide the greatest economic and social benefits.
We will be live tweeting during the event at @ClimateGroup and streaming the event live on our websites.

"The majority of our fires are human-caused," Public Works Director Kevin Callahan said during a Jan. 16 County Council work session. "They are not natural. We put a ban on campfires prior to July 4 last year. During the summer we had a lot of people in the Uintas and a number of them weren't complying with that ban."
Callahan added that many people were also not complying with the fireworks restrictions the county imposed last year. Consequently, a brush fire was started on July 4 by a 13-year-old who was playing with fireworks near the Castle Rock I-80 off-ramp.
According to the police reports, Robert Lund pulled over his vehicle on a trip back from Wyoming to relieve himself. While he was out of sight, his 13-year-old son lit fireworks next to the car, which started a small brush fire. When Lund returned, he saw the fire, got into his vehicle, and was quickly backing out of the area until he was stopped by a Utah Highway Patrol trooper.
"There is a code that says that anyone who is responsible for starting a fire burning, or anything that requires a response, is responsible for 100 percent of the suppression costs, whether the fire was intentional or unintentional," Summit County Fire Warden Bryce Boyer said.
Currently, if staff finds someone financially responsible for a fire, the county manager executes the decision.
The fire consumed 2.5 acres and cost the county $3,000 to extinguish, but when the county attempted to recover the costs from Lund, he appealed and the County Council wrestled to decide whether Lund was financially responsible for his son's actions.
According to the trooper's account of the incident as stated in the police report, Lund was attempting to flee the fire when he was stopped.
During his appeal on Nov. 19, Lund maintained he was not fleeing the fire, but was going for help.
"The problem with it was that [staff] tried to pin the problem on the father and not the 13-year-old," Councilmember Claudia McMullin said. "After taking evidence, we determined the father really hadn't done anything wrong. But I don't think we had any problem with staff going for the money. It was just the wrong party. There was no legal basis to go after the dad."
Councilmember Roger Armstrong disagreed, saying he wasn't sure that was the case.
"What troubled me about the process was that you only had the dad's word," he said. "We didn't have an arresting officer at his appeal hearing to talk about whether the father may have been liable if he had been fleeing the fire. We took the father's word for it because there was no peace officer to say, 'I was there and he was running in the other direction.' That really surprised me."
Armstrong suggested that a citation for causing a wildfire go through the court system.
"And then if there's a finding of guilt, it makes it easier for the county to impose a fine," he said. "But you still have to decide if the peace officers are going to be subpoenaed to show up. I think whoever happened to be there investigating the case should be there."
McMullin countered that the County Council had the police report and Lund's testimony, from which they determined Lund had not been fleeing.
"So given that fact, there was no basis for finding him liable," she said.
Eventually, the county was able to negotiate a settlement with Lund by holding the teen responsible, but it brought into question the county's fire-suppression recovery procedures.
"But we can change that process. We don't have to do it that way," Summit County Attorney Dave Thomas said.
County Manager Bob Jasper added that he preferred a judge be responsible for convicting an individual for the responsibility of a fire.
"We have a really good judge," he said. "To me, this makes more sense than it coming to me and then be appealed to you. And then the council doesn't play as much of a role in terms of appeal; they aren't acting like a higher court."
The County Council continued the discussion to a later date when staff could provide them with alternatives to the current process.

By Janice J. Heiss on Oct 12, 2012
Noted freelance writer Steve Meloan has a new article up on otn/java, titled, "JavaOne 2012 Review: Make the Future Java" in which he summarizes the happenings at JavaOne 2012.
Along the way, he reminds us that if the future turns out to be anything like the past, Java will do fine:
The repeated theme for this year's conference was 'Make the Future Java,' and according to recent stats, the groundwork is already firmly in place:
There are 9 million Java developers worldwide.
Three billion devices run Java.
Five billion Java Cards are in use.
One hundred percent of Blu-ray Disc players ship with Java.
Ninety-seven percent of enterprise desktops run Java.
Eighty-nine percent of PC desktops run Java.
This year's content curriculum program was organized under seven technical tracks:
Core Java Platform
Development Tools and Techniques
Emerging Languages on the JVM
Enterprise Service Architectures and the Cloud
Java EE Web Profile and Platform Technologies
Java ME, Java Card, Embedded, and Devices
JavaFX and Rich User Experiences"
Meloan artfully reminds us of how JavaOne makes learning fun.
Have a look at the article here.

Three pastry chefs, four judges, one blonde.
A crowd of chocophiles.
And a wild card.
Pastry chefs Amber Billingsley of Vinto (a rectangle of Dulcey gelato topped with a toasted homemade marshmallow)
Alexa Norlin of The Rose Establishment (a tiramisu-like layered mousse with a Dulcey rose)
and Courtney McDowell of Pago & Finca (a Dulcey stack sided with brilliant Dulcey popcorn)
had their sweet way with Valrhona's new Dulcey chocolate, a caramelized white chocolate, then served their creations to a crowd at Caputo's Monday night.
A pro-am judging panel–three premier Utah chefs, Viet Pham of Forage, Ryan Lowder of Copper Onion and Takashi Gibo of Takashi and contest winner Ryan Call–
decided on the official winner: Courtney McDowell.
Guest of honor, Alex Espiritu of Valrhona, came in for the contest, and Salt Lake foodies were out in force, including Ruth Kendrick, owner of Chocolot local confectioners.
And Ruth was the one with the wild card.
She too has been playing around with Dulcey. And her gold-dusted Dulcey de leche cream enrobed with dark chocolate, was the best thing I tasted all night.

ותשועה ברב יועץ - משלי י"א י"ד...... in the multitude of counselors there is safety. (Proverbs 11:14)
Recording: David Ben-Gurion announces the establishment of the State of Israel
Eretz Israel (the Land of Israel) was the birthplace of the Jewish people. Here their spiritual, religious, and political identity was shaped. Here they first attained statehood, created cultural values of national and universal significance and gave to the world the eternal Book of Books.
The Israeli flag
The flag of the State of Israel is based on the design of the Jewish prayer shawl (tallit), with a blue Shield of David (Magen David).
Emblem of Israel The official emblem of the State of Israel is a candelabrum (menorah), whose shape is said to be derived from the seven-branched moriah, a plant known since antiquity. The olive branches on either side represent Israel's yearning for peace.
The Golden Menorah (a seven-branched candelabrum) was a major ritual object in King Solomon's Temple in ancient Jerusalem. Through the ages it has served as a symbol of Jewish heritage and tradition in countless places and in a variety of forms.

I dont know if any of you other NFA folks on here have an old sealed suppressor, but if you havent seen what the inside of a sealed can looks like after a few thousand rounds here ya go!
these are [span style='font-style: italic;'][span style='font-weight: bold;']my [/span][/span]swr spectre baffles after about 400 rounds. what i am showing in the picture is the copper antiseize. notice the fouling. the next pic shows how easy the fouling is wiped off, but only from the outside baffle area. near the bullet path, the c5a is quickly burned away, and you are left with the same old lead deposits. luckily, its stainless, so i just toss them in the dip.
the pics below belong to john titsworth from silencer research as noted in the picture. i am in no way taking credit for his work, as i found the pics on the internet in the public domain.
here is the link to where said pics came from
Norrell Custom Can
so basically, eventually the cans will fill up an no longer be a suppressor.
I have started a group buy over on silencertalk, if you are interested, let me know!
SilencerTalk • View topic - Jailbreak Groupbuy!!!! 215 returned!
this is basically what rotary broaching will do, which is how the new endcap will be removed
and a video of what rotary broaching is all about
so basically this is what SRI is offering:
-send in your sealed/loud can
-they turn your non-serviceable suppressor into a suppressor that can be opened and serviced by you
-they remove old endcap in a lathe.
-they fabricate new endcap (with the rotary broach hex feature) this will look nicer, and you wont loose volume inside the can as opposed to some other solutions for the removable endcap feature.
-they return your can to you, and now you have a much more versatile product.

Images of the Prophet Muhammad In and Out of Modernity: The Curious Case of a 2008 Mural in Tehran
In 2008, a five-story mural was painted onto the wall of an apartment building in the northern section of Tehran. The mural represents the Prophet Muhammad's ascension into the heavens, as well as an inhabitant of Paradise offering a flower to a man in the lower right corner. While the composition is based on a 15th-century "Book of Ascension" manuscript, it nevertheless has been altered in two significant ways: first, a man painted in a hyper-realistic mode has been inserted into the composition and, second, the facial features of the Prophet have been removed. Tracing how the original painting has been pictorially augmented and edited for the public sphere, this talk offers some new ideas on how images are received and updated in modern Islamic artistic practices. It will do so by paying special attention to the mural's symbolic position within Tehran's martyrial mural program, Iran's Shi'i-Islamic political agenda, and oppositional responses to the Jyllands-Posten cartoon controversy of 2005-2006.
