A. Scale of killing:
The various reports and documents are incomplete concerning the total number of Jews and others executed by various German and collaborator units on occupied Soviet territory. Nonetheless, if one simply adds the summary numbers contained in the surviving documents, even the partial total gives a sense of the scale on which the killing was carried out.
Einsatzgruppe A:
- Einsatzkommando 2 reported having shot 34,193 people by February 2, 1942.7
- Einsatzkommando 3 reported having killed 133,346 people by November 25, 1941.8
Einsatzgruppe B:
- On November 14, 1941, Einsatzgruppe B reported that its "total number" (Gesamtzahl) of "liquidations" (Liquidierungen) had reached 45,467.9
Einsatzgruppe C:
- Sonderkommando 4a reported having shot 59,018 people as of November 40, 1941, and
- Sonderkommando 5 reported having shot 36,147 people as of December 7, 1941.10
- Einsatzgruppe D reported having shot 91,678 people as of April 8, 1942.11
These cumulative totals do not distinguish between Jewish and non-Jewish victims. The Jäger Report (summarizing the activities of Einsatzkommando 3 in Lithuania up to December 1941), however, does identify all its victims, of which only 2,042 or barely 1.5% were non-Jewish (mostly identified as communist functionaries or mentally-ill). Einsatzgruppe D did not make this distinction in its cumulative totals, but it often did in its bi-weekly reports. For instance, on November 5, 1941, it reported killing 11,037 Jews and 31 communist officials in the previous two weeks.12 For the period November 16-December 15, 1941, it reported executing 17,645 Jews, 2,504 Krimchaks (categorized racially as Jews), 824 Gypsies, and 212 communists.13 For the last two weeks of December 1941, it reported shooting 3,176 Jews, 85 partisans, 12 looters, and 122 communists.14 For the first two weeks of January 1942, it reported a rare reversal, in which 1,639 communists and partisans were reported shot along with 685 Jews.15 For the latter half of January, it reported shooting 3,286 Jews, 152 communists, 84 partisans, and 79 looters and saboteurs, and asocials.16
By the estimate of Einsatzgruppe C in late October, it had "liquidated" (liquidiert) some 80,000 people, of which 75,000 were Jews.17 Sonderkommando 4a conceded that "the total number...of those executed included, in addition to a relatively small number of political functionaries, active communists, people guilty of sabotage, etc., above all Jews....".18 Einsatzkommando 5 occasionally offered specific breakdowns of its victims as well. For instance, for the period November 2-18, 1941, it shot 10,650 Jews, 15 political officials, 21 saboteurs and looters, and 414hostages.19 For the week of November 23-30, 1941, it reported shooting 2,615 Jews, 64 political functionaries, and 46 saboteurs and looters. And for the following week it reported shooting 1,471 Jews, 60 political functionaries, and 47 saboteurs and looters.20 In short, there is compelling evidence to conclude that the overwhelming majority of the people reported executed by the Einsatzgruppen were in fact Jews.
In addition to giving figures for the four Einsatzgruppen themselves, the Event Reports occasionally record killings by other units as well, though in a much less complete fashion. For example, a police unit operating on Soviet territory just over the border from the town of Tilsit in East Prussia was credited with liquidating 3,302 persons in the first weeks after the invasion.21 An additional Einsatzgruppe "for special purposes" operated in the areas immediately across the demarcation line in Belarus and the Ukraine once the original four Einsatzgruppen had moved further east. For the last ten days of July, this unit was credited with 3,947 executions.22 For several periods in August, it was credited with an additional 12,652 killings.23 The Higher SS and Police Leader South, Friedrich Jeckeln, was reported to have killed 44,125 persons, "mostly Jews," in August (meist Juden).24 He was subsequently credited with 10,000 Jews in Dniepropetrovsk and 15,000 Jews in Rowno (the latter with help from EK 5).25 Transferred to become Higher SS and Police Leader North in November 1941, the same Jeckeln was credited with reducing the Jewish population of Riga from 29,500 to 2,600 in late 1941.26
For the period beyond the spring of 1942, other documents provide a glimpse of continued killing of Jews on a massive scale. On July 31, 1942, the head of the civil administration in western Belarus, Wilhelm Kube, reported from Minsk that in the previous ten weeks some 55,000 Jews had been killed in his district.27 On December 26, 1942, the Higher SS and Police Leader for South Russia, the Ukraine, and the Northeast submitted a report on the campaign against the partisans for the three-month period from September 1 to December 1, 1942. Three days later, on December 29, 1942, the report was retyped in the so-called Führer-type (especially large type that Hitler could read without his glasses) and retitled:
Reports to the Führer on combatting partisans.
Report No. 51.
Russia South, Ukraine, Bialystok.
Results of the antipartisan campaign from 1.9. to 1.12.1942.
Report No. 51.
Russia South, Ukraine, Bialystok.
Results of the antipartisan campaign from 1.9. to 1.12.1942.
The report was signed by Heinrich Himmler. On the top of the front page was the initialled hand-written note: "submitted 31.12.42." The report noted for August, September, October, and November in the category of "bandits" a total of 1,337 killed in battle, 737 executed immediately after battle, and 7,828 executed after interrogation. In the category of "accomplices and suspects," the report had two sub-categories: on a line for "executed," it listed 14,256. On a separate line for "Jews executed," it listed 363,211.28
Why would Himmler include the killing of 363,211 Jews in a report to Hitler on anti-partisan warfare? According to Himmler's appointment book, on December 18, 1941, he and Hitler had discussed the "Jewish question." The result of their conversation was noted succinctly: "to be annihilated as partisans."29 (Als Partisanen auszurotten) In short, annihilating Jews and solving the so-called "Jewish question" under the cover of killing partisans was the agreed-upon convention between Hitler and Himmler.

Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award
Scientists and scholars from abroad, internationally renowned in their field, who completed their doctorates less than 18 years ago and who in future are expected to continue producing cutting-edge achievements which will have a seminal influence on their discipline beyond their immediate field of work, are eligible to be nominated for a Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award.
Award winners are honoured for their outstanding research record and invited to spend a period of up to one year cooperating on a long-term research project with specialist colleagues at a research institution in Germany. The stay may be divided up into blocks.
The Humboldt Foundation grants about 20 Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Awards annually.
Nominations may be submitted by established academics in Germany. Nominations may also be initiated by award winners of the Humboldt Foundation working abroad, provided that the nomination is made jointly with a colleague working in Germany. Direct applications are not accepted. The award is valued at €45,000.
Other important details
- Complete nomination documents (PDF/DOC)
- Programme information (PDF)
Due to the introduction of a new database system and high application rates we shall unfortunately need more time than usual to process your application for a fellowship/your nomination for an award. Therefore, at present, you must assume it will take up to ten months before you receive a decision. We are very sorry about this delay and sincerely hope that we shall be able to revert to the usual processing period of six months at the earliest opportunity.

Award amount
What is the sum of the award?
How is the award amount paid? Does the nominee need a German bank account for this purpose?
For the payment of further instalments, award winners are asked to open an account at a bank of their choice as soon as possible after arriving in Germany, and to provide the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation with their account number, bank address and bank code.
The research award is granted in recognition of the academic achievements and the personality of the award winner and may only be claimed by the award winner personally. Similarly, payment of the award amount may also only be made to the award winner personally and exclusively. Claims to the award may not be transferred.
Is the award amount subject to taxation?
However, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation would like to point out that according to German tax law, awards are not usually subject to income tax in Germany if they are primarily granted in recognition of the award winner's lifetime achievement or entire academic work, personality, convictions, or function as a role-model. This is precisely the intention of the Humboldt Foundation in granting the research awards which honour the entire life's work of award winners in their capacity as internationally outstanding researchers.
Tax law in the award winners' home countries or countries of residence may contain special regulations on the taxation of awards. If in doubt, a tax accountant in the award winner's own country should be consulted.

May the award winner teach at the host university during his or her stay, or is it strictly a research stay?
Will travel costs be covered?
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation can only cover the costs of one return journey, regardless of the number of trips to and from Germany.
A lump sum towards the travel costs of marital partners and children under the age of 18 accompanying the award winner may be granted if they stay with the award winner in Germany for at least six months. Fifty per cent of the lump sum will be paid for children between the ages of two and eleven, ten per cent for children under the age of two. The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation will not cover any additional expenses for the transportation of luggage.
Do I have to file a report after completion of the research stay?
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation also asks academic hosts in Germany to report on their experiences in their cooperation with award winners. These reports are very important and revealing for the foundation, because foreign guests often observe with a keener eye and are able to make more balanced judgements due to their greater critical distance. The reports are analysed carefully and confidentially. In addition, they can help the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation to continue improving its programmes and make them as effective as possible.

If time is distance, the future is approaching at a faster rate.
The Colorado Department of Transportation is eying the future by developing the plan to build an advanced guideway system (AGS) - basically high speed trains - along the Interstate 70 corridor to connect to other systems planned for the Front Range.
Last week, representatives from CDOT's Division of Transit and Rail met with consultants, Eagle County staff, and Commissioners Peter Runyon and Sara Fisher. Representatives from Vail and Avon were also at the meeting. The CDOT members said the goal is to have the AGS operational by 2025.
The "AGS project" pertains specifically to the I-70 corridor. CDOT is the project sponsor and AZTEC/TYPSA Group is the lead consultant. AZTEC Vice President Mike Riggs said AZTEC's mother firm, TYPSA, is based in Spain and has significant high-speed rail and tunneling experience throughout the world.
AZTEC is currently reviewing 18 "statement of technology information" reports - basically proposals for technology that could be used for a guideway system.
Of the 18 tech companies that have submitted work, some will be invited to a technology forum Dec. 13 and 14 in Jefferson County. The forum will have two parts. One part will be open to the public for citizens to see some of the latest guideway technology. The second part will be private meetings between planners and the tech companies.
"We want to focus on commercially viable options - stuff that could be implemented tomorrow - and not hold our breath waiting for technologies that might be viable in seven or eight years," said CDOT's David Krutsinger. "Also, our current process isn't intended to 'pick' a single technology, rather it is to have convincing evidence whether various technologies can successfully operate through Colorado's mountains."
In addition to the technology reviews, alignment design and cost estimates are being formulated. That process is expected to run from November through April.
The larger timeline, from 2013 to 2017, includes two environmental impact studies, preliminary engineering, establishment of an organizational structure for the AGS, public funding sources research and preparation of a development agreement in collaboration with three finalists. From 2017 to 2019, finalists are to prepare their best and final offers, of which one will be selected and a financial deal closed. From 2020 to 2025, a minimum operating segment will be built, tested and commissioned, opening to the public by the end of 2025.
Putting an extra squeeze on the 2025 timeline are the environmental impact studies, which expire at that time. The studies are required by federal government. If the AGS isn't up and running by 2025, new studies would have to look at what improvements should be made to solve traffic problems in the meantime. Additionally, many major road improvements along the I-70 corridor are on hold until 2025 in anticipation of the guideway system, which could affect changes to those roads.
Looking ahead
"We can't think about how it is today, we have to think about how it is tomorrow," Riggs said. "We're looking at a combination of technologies to get people where they want to go quickly."
Anticipating the future is tricky business. The challenge of funding the AGS project was barely touched on at last week's meeting. Discussions centered mostly around theoretical locations for stops along the system.
Planners are thinking of two stops in Eagle County - somewhere around Vail, Avon or even Edwards, and at Eagle County Regional Airport, which is currently projected as the end of the line for the AGS project. The vision is to eventually extend it all the way to Salt Lake City.
In the interest of speed, planners want to keep the number of stops to a minimum. Two stops is as many as any other region - Summit County - is getting at this point.
"Studies show 'faster' is the way to generate ridership," Riggs said.
With stops kept to a minimum, planners are trying to identify the best hubs, especially considering that when people get off the AGS, other transportation systems will be needed to get them to their final destinations.
Runyon pointed out that while winter visitors are primarily going to the ski resorts - in which case a station at the base of Vail Mountain could be an advantage - summer visitors will have more needs in terms of luggage and reaching destinations such as rivers and camping areas.
"That secondary distribution is going to be a huge issue," Runyon said.
Some impacts CDOT promised to investigate include those on communities and the airport. An AGS might result in more people living in the mountains and commuting to Denver on the system. That could change the nature of a community. Further, Eagle County Regional Airport Director Greg Phillips said there will surely be some impact on flight service at the airport.
"We want to be wary about collapsing air service here," he said. "If it becomes so easy to get to Denver International Airport, where a flight might be cheaper, people might just go there instead. Part of this study should consider that impact to the airport."
Another aspect discussed Tuesday is the matter of space each station will need. An AGS could be suspended or put under ground, so there are options to orient stations vertically.
A typical station needs a platform that is straight and flat, about 1,000 feet long and 80 feet wide. About 1,000 to 2,500 parking spaces will also be needed in addition to other transit connections. Fifteen acres are typically budgeted for all that. In Vail's case, there is already a parking garage and transportation center near the mountain where structures could be made, vertically oriented, so less acreage is needed there.
Finally, a maintenance facility will likely need to be built near the end of the line, which would be the airport. A maintenance facility would be bigger than a typical station but it would not need to be directly on the line.
Besides the space it occupies, an AGS station could be disruptive to a community. Justin Hildreth, an engineer for the town of Avon, said the suggested station site in Avon was not the best place, partly because of noise and traffic impacts. He said it might be better to put it in a place that is more remote in terms of development, such as Dowd Junction.
CDOT's Mark Imhoff said that is a good question to consider.
"Do you use an AGS to serve an existing community or do you use it to define a new one?" he said.
Fisher and Runyon pointed out that Eagle County's community tends to have a higher turnover than other places, due to a workforce that is more seasonal and transient.
"How people get here and what they do could be different from today," Fisher said.
Runyon said there could be all sorts of unintended consequences.
"We did an informal survey of the towns about this idea and they all expressed cautious approval," he said. "(An AGS) puts growth pressure on towns."
Runyon also said that new technology could make many of today's questions moot.
"So much is dependent on the technology that's chosen," he said.
That's why AZTEC's first step from here is to review the 18 submittals of tech information.
The process for all this transit discussion technically began in 1998 when the state created the Colorado Fixed Guideway Authority. CIFGA was to determine if a system could be deployed in Colorado.
Since then, the I-70 Coalition was created in 2005. The coalition includes more than 30 jurisdictions in the mountain corridor.
In 2011 - after a collaborative effort in 2008 that reached a consensus that an AGS was the way to go - CDOT and the Federal Highway Administration incorporated that consensus in the final pragmatic environmental impact statement and record of decision for the I-70 mountain corridor.
Now, the year 2025 can barely be seen up ahead, a distant dot on the horizon.

SANTA CLARA -- Stephen Holt made sure that Santa Clara would not sweep its season series with Saint Mary's for the first time in seven years.
The senior guard scored a career-best 35 points, including 21 in the first half, in the Gaels' 76-54 rout of the Broncos on Saturday at the Leavey Center.
Holt missed just three shots all game and led a first-half surge in which the Gaels went on a 24-0 run against their rivals to take command early.
The only shot that Holt missed in the opening period was a 3-pointer that rimmed out.
"Once I was on that roll, my teammates understood that," Holt said. "They wanted to get me the ball in places I could score. Tonight was my night to carry the load offensively, but it started defensively."
Santa Clara (12-17, 5-11 West Coast Conference) missed 10 consecutive shots and went scoreless for nearly 10 minutes in the first half while Saint Mary's (20-9, 10-6) was building its big lead.
Brandon Clark's basket with 6:10 left in the half finally broke the Broncos' scoring drought, but by then, they trailed 33-12.
"We let our inability to play a little bit harder on offense carry over into our defensive effort," Santa Clara coach Kerry Keating said. "It kind of snowballed from there."
Clark finished with 16 points and five assists, and Evan Roquemore added 13 points for Santa Clara.
But Jared Brownridge was never able to get going. The freshman standout, who beat Saint Mary's with a last second 3-pointer earlier this season, was held to five points on 2-of-7 shooting with James Walker III doing much of the defensive work.
Santa Clara shot 40 percent -- including 21 percent from 3-point range -- and trailed by as many as 29 in the second half.
Saint Mary's also dominated the boards 36-18 and made 9 of 14 attempts from beyond the arc, helping avenge a 57-55 home loss to the Broncos on Jan. 9. Since that game, Santa Clara, which was looking for its first regular-season sweep of Saint Mary's since 2007, has won just two of 11.
"(Our players) respected them, and I think that was key," Saint Mary's coach Randy Bennett said. "They came in here with the right mindset that it would be a tough game. We were really ready to play."
Clark didn't start for Santa Clara for the first time this season as Keating shuffled his lineup to give starts to his four seniors in the Broncos' final home game of the season.

Just when we thought greed at BART couldn't get worse, we learn about yet another fat employee benefit, this one for managers.
We already knew that all workers in the agency are eligible for a generous pension program at no cost and health insurance for just $92 a month no matter the size of an employee's family. Now, for about 20 percent of BART's 3,257 employees, add another perk that would not be tolerated in the private sector.
Reporters Thomas Peele and Daniel Willis stumbled upon this rip-off as they reviewed BART's 2012 salary data. They noticed that former General Manager Dorothy Dugger, who was forced out in 2011, collected more pay than any other BART employee in 2012.
When Dugger left, she and the district struck a deal giving her an immediate $958,000 severance. So, how could she draw annual salary and benefits worth $420,000 the year after she was effectively fired? It turns out that Dugger, like other BART management employees, could collect "terminal leave benefits."
Here's how it works: When management workers start at BART, they earn three weeks' vacation each year. They incrementally work up to six weeks annually after 19 years on the job. They also have 13 fixed and "floating" holidays.
With all that time off, it's not surprising they don't use it all. So BART allows managers to save unused vacation and holidays without limits. Many can even add in some of their unused sick leave.
When their jobs end, the managers can use that extra leave time to stay on the payroll -- to continue to receive full salary, incentive pay and health benefits, and to accrue work credit that boosts their subsequent pension calculations. They even -- get this -- receive holiday pay and accrue more vacation time that they can use to further extend their time on the payroll.
Dugger just became the poster child for this abusive program.
She worked for BART for 20 years, so she had about 3,100 hours of unused leave time.
BART Director James Fang of San Francisco was shocked. "We never think about these very critical and important little things," he said. Really? Why not? You've had 22½ years on the board. Maybe it's time to start thinking about them. It is, after all, your job.
"We should be able to control it," added first-term Director Robert Raburn of Oakland. No kidding.
With BART and its labor unions locked in contentious contract negotiations, in which the excessively generous pension and health care benefits are at issue, the system's directors must show that they're serious about reining in managers' benefits too.
That means eliminating their ridiculous leave accrual program -- now.

Oil price near $90 on upbeat U.S. company results
Published: Wednesday, April 24, 2013 at 8:13 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 24, 2013 at 8:13 a.m.
Crude prices rose this morning to near $90 a barrel as a string of positive corporate earnings and an improved U.S. housing report pointed to higher oil demand and drew investors back to the market.
By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark oil for June delivery was up 47 cents to $89.65 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 1 cent to close at $89.18 a barrel on the Nymex on Tuesday.
Strong earnings pushed all three major Wall Street indexes — the Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq composite — higher Tuesday. Industry giants such as DuPont Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp. reported results that were better than analysts expected. Additionally, housing data showed that sales of new homes increased 1.5 percent in March.
The rise in housing demand is also helping to boost prices, which tend to make homeowners feel wealthier and encourage more spending. That could drive up consumption of energy and prices of fuel.
Investors are now waiting for the latest data on U.S. stockpiles of crude and refined products. Data for the week ending April 19 is expected to show an increase of 1.4 million barrels in crude oil stocks, according to a survey of analysts by Platts.
"There are no oil-market-specific reasons for the price recovery," said a report from Commerzbank in Frankfurt. "Indeed, there has even been bearish news from Iraq, which has threatened to leave OPEC if the cartel prevents it from expanding its oil production."
Commerzbank noted that while OPEC now has an overall output target of 30 million barrels a day and individual country quotas are no longer applied, in the long term Iraq is looking to double its current production of 2.5 million barrels a day. Libya, another OPEC country whose oil output was affected by armed conflict, is also looking to raise its production levels.
OPEC is already seen exceeding its daily quota by 500,000 barrels.
Brent crude, which is used to price oil used by many U.S. refiners, was up 62 cents to $100.93 a barrel on the ICE futures exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on the Nymex:
— Gasoline rose 1.24 cents to $2.7291 per gallon.
— Heating oil added 1.64 cents to $2.8144 a gallon.
— Natural gas fell 0.1 cent to $4.237 per 1,000 cubic feet.

There are a variety of communication and psychological theories used to explain how and why individuals self-disclose. Unfortunately, none of them are able to explain the type of inappropriate self-disclosure I experienced last week. Instead, most theories of self-disclosure focus on communicating information between two individuals who are involved in some sort of relationship with each other (i.e. friendship, romantic relationship, work relationship, etc). Altman and Taylor's (1973) social penetration theory is one of the most prominent self-disclosure theories in academia.
Social penetration theory (Altman & Taylor, 1973) explains how self-disclosure plays an integral role in the development and deterioration of close relationships. At its most basic form, breadth and depth of disclosures, along with perceived relationship rewards and costs and amount of reciprocity, influence how fast or slow the penetration or depenetration process takes place. Specifically, social penetration theory claims that as a relationship progresses and as rewards within a relationship increase, communication exchange between two individuals also increases in both breadth and depth in order to subsequently increase feelings of intimacy and closeness within their relationship.
In social penetration theory, breadth can be explained in three ways. First, there are breadth categories, which involve the number of topics individuals reveal or discuss with their relationship partners. Second, breadth frequency is concerned with how often a certain topic is discussed. Lastly, there is breadth time, which refers to the amount of time one spends interacting with their relationship partner. Social penetration theory claims that the number of breadth categories may be high at the beginning of a relationship, yet as a relationship grows, breadth frequency increases within each breadth category. For example, when Alaina and Anderson first met, they may have discussed many different topics including their education, hobbies, and their families, indicating a high number of breadth categories. In this early stage of their relationship, the two may only reveal their siblings' names and ages when discussing their families. However, as that relationship progresses, Alaina and Anderson may begin to discuss their families more frequently, indicating high breadth frequency within their "family" category.
Depth, on the other hand, refers to the intimacy of topics individuals discuss with their relationship partners. As relationships progress, individuals tend to discuss more intimate aspects of their lives and personalities with each other. For instance, on their first date, Alaina and Anderson may discuss very superficial topics such as where they grew up or what they studied in college, whereas once they have been in a relationship for 3 months, they may begin to share more personal aspects of their lives such as their political or religious beliefs.
Altman and Taylor (1973) further explain that interpersonal rewards and costs also influence the social penetration process. Interpersonal rewards and costs refer to the positive and negative aspects of a relationship. "The greater the ratio of rewards to costs, the more rapid the penetration process" (Altman & Taylor, 1973, p. 42). Additionally, the magnitude of rewards and costs must also be taken into consideration. For instance, Alaina may think that her new boyfriend is very funny and she likes the way he calls her every night (2 rewards), but she also is not physically attracted to him (1 cost). The penetration process in this relationship may be slowed down due to the importance (i.e. magnitude) that Alaina places on being physically attracted to her mate. Even though there are more rewards than costs, the magnitude of the one cost may prevail when determining how fast or slow the relationship develops. The beliefs that people have about potential rewards and costs in the future of their relationships can also affect the penetration process. Back to the previous example, if Alaina believes that she is never going to be physically attracted to her new boyfriend, and being physically attracted to her mate is very important to her, the penetration process will likely slow down or even stop.
Reciprocity of disclosures is another important aspect of the penetration process (Altman & Taylor, 1973). If one relationship partner discloses information and the other partner fails to reciprocate, the penetration process could be delayed. Likewise, the intimacy of reciprocity can also influence penetration. For example, even though Alaina and her friend Violet disclose the same amount of information about their families to each other, if the intimacy of their information is not at the same level of depth, the relationship may develop at a slow rate. Alaina may feel that Violet is not disclosing at the same intimacy level as her because she does not like her, which could lower Alaina's motivation to interact with Violet.
When discussing the deterioration of relationships, Altman and Taylor (1973) hypothesize that this process is just as systematic as the process of relationship development. Depenetration, therefore, is hypothesized to occur in reverse of the penetration process. "Interpersonal exchange should proceed backwards from more to less intimate areas, should decrease in breadth and volume, and, as a result, the total cumulative wedge of exchange should shrink" (p. 174).
To sum, social penetration theory focuses on how communication, specifically the use of self-disclosure, affects relationship development and deterioration. Social penetration is a process, in that it moves from one stage to another. Breadth and depth of disclosures along with reciprocity and perceived relationship rewards and costs influence how fast or slow the penetration or depenetration process takes place.
So, if building a relationship is the main goal of self-disclosing, why do strangers, who usually have no intent of starting up a new relationship, sometimes self-disclose their deepest darkest secrets? Why did this woman feel the urge to tell me about her breast-feeding problems and another woman about her pregnancy sex life? The world may never know.

The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is a global health initiative launched in 2003 to combat the devastation caused by HIV/AIDS around the world. PEPFAR has actively promoted the use of "implementation science" to develop evidence for applying resources in a way that will achieve the greatest health impact. Implementation science seeks to improve program effectiveness and optimize efficiency, including the effective transfer of interventions from one setting to another. This involves improving the adoption, implementation, and translation of research findings into routine and common practices.
In collaboration with the Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator in the U.S. Department of State, NIAID announced the NIH/PEPFAR Collaboration for Implementation Science and Impact Evaluation program in FY 2011. This initiative solicited proposals for implementation science research projects that will inform PEPFAR about more efficient and cost-effective methods to deliver HIV prevention, treatment, and care on a large scale in resource-limited countries. Funded projects not only reflect the needs and priorities of the countries or regions in which they are to be conducted but also produce results that that can be generalized across PEPFAR programs. Projects designed specifically to improve prevention, care, and treatment outcomes in the most- at-risk populations and those marginalized by gender inequities are also high priorities.

Plastickrack - Pathfinder Miniatures Edition
Hello community (hope this is in the right forum)
Here is my review of the new Pathfinder Battles case.... in a word,
A little history... I have the entire set of DnD miniatures. I was addicted. I would buy 3 cases at a go... fill the set when I was a miniature (or 5) from completion, just so that I would have a complete set. You know, gotta have them all! Now I have wonderful battles for my bi-weekly game groups with little minis all over the map. Need 30 zombies? No problem. Need some odd thing out of the MM4, I have it (if they made it).
I was sad when they discontinued the line. So much so, that when Paizo, whose company I admire, announced their version of collectible miniatures, I pre-ordered immediately. I waited anxiously for the December release, then the January release, and drooled at the unpainted model of the Huge Black Dragon that would soon terrorize my swamp nearby the PC's home town...
The case came today, and I opened it up. 4 bricks wrapped in plastic... (no dragon). I opened a brick..... 16 little boxes and three medium boxes were inside... I pulled one of my "boosters" and see that it has on the label, one miniature. The box is so small... I put the tiny box back in the brick and pulled another... one minature...
What did I pay for this? Checking the website again... I see that I paid a pre-order price of $200 + shipping... for 76 miniatures... That's $2.80+ cents per mini.
I checked the site again... yes, it says one mini per booster, or two small. And one large figure per big box... (still no dragon).
At best, I payed $90 a case for the DnD equivalent cases, with 96 miniatures in it... and then the same when they dropped down to 5 per box... but even then, it was half as much as the Pathfinder set.
I've yet to open a single box. I think they are going back. I want to open them... yet, then again, I have SO MANY of the others... I invested so much in the others...
Has anyone else gotten these yet? Are they worth opening? If I open them, I will post pics... but I am just not sure it is worth it.
UPDATE: Dragon is now being shipped... Still have not opened the boxes.

I'm a collector as well as a seller. It's odd getting 1 mini in a box. The upside is that 1 case guarantees a complete set of 40. The downside is that you get less multiples if that's what you want.
Overall, they are nice minis. Good paint jobs, the plastic quality seems to be a bit stronger (swords don't bend as easily). The small sized minis come 2 to a box. So it's pretty nice being able to get a bunch of goblins.
WotC minis are rising in price. Many figures that used to be $0.50 or so are now over the $1-$1.50 mark. So it's possible that they will reach the same price as the PF minis.
Compared to what you have to pay to get some WotC minis now, I don't think the PF minis are overpriced. Yer not going to get any that are as low of quality as the DDM commons would be. My guess though is that Paizo will eventually make some of the minis lower quality so the community can get some cheaper figures. Cause as a customer, I can understand the hesitation of buying the current set and the interest of buying lower quality minis in bulk.
This is their first set. I'd rather support Paizo now so that they can afford to make new sets and work out all the kinks. New minis are better than no minis! If price is an issue, just pick and choose what you buy.

I bought the pathfinder mini's, and like you also bought the WotC mini's 3 cases at a time (not to mention singles).
Yep, the Pathfinder mini's are expensive, but as my girlfriend commented to someone else the other day, the quality is as good or better than any of the later sets of the mini's. Paizo's storefront has pictures of all the mini's.
Just a couple things,
The dragon mini does not come with the set, it was a separate promotional item that can only be ordered if you ordered a case. If you decide to keep it, you might be able to ask Customer Service to amend your order and get that too.
The sculpts are based off of the Bestiary artwork; if you don't like the look of Pathfinder trolls or goblins for example, then this set might not be for you.
What worked in the set for me beside the excellent quality:
There's only forty mini's in the set. I got a complete set with that one case plus some nice duplicates (with randomness your milage may very). When I did buy three cases of WotC mini's it was likely I might still end up missing one or two mini's from the set.
The mini's are available as singles on the website. They're running what I would expect them too. Someone will probably have them for cheaper, but that might take time.
That said, I'm happy I got them and they'll work just fine with my other miniatures. If they make another set, then I'll certainly look at buying the also.
Hope that helps.

I was disappointed with the size of the 'Huge' Black Dragon as it is essentially smaller than almost every other Huge dragon I've seen with maybe the exception of the Green.
In addition, I found them 'thin' if you will.
I also think the Paizo webstore is smoking crack with the prices they are charging for the singles.

As yet I only have the four figure Starter minis.
The sculpts are, in my estimation, somewhat better than the DDM figures.
The sculpting likewise.
The painting also likewise, but nothing to write home about - I will be doing repaints. I picked the set up because I liked the figure for Stabby McKnifeyelf.
Over all, superior plastics, but nothing compared to painting your own.

BTW, In one of the many D&D 5e announcements someone mentioned a new WotC miniature line. Non random theme packs. Will be interesting to compare prices.

I picked up a case of these as well. Overall, I am pleased with them. The sculpts and paintwork are, for the most part, nice; with a few pieces actually trending towards excellent. My only real gripes are the troll (looks like he is running away from a fight, cartoon style ) and the ogre (would have preferred a different pose).
Getting a full-set out of the case was nice. I remember busting multiple cases of DDM back in the day and not even coming close to a complete set more than once.
As a side note, I seem to recall them saying the next set was going to have more traditional boosters (blind, multi-figure packs); as well as encounter packs (probably something like the HeroClix fast forces packs). Hopefully, with the change in packaging they can still maintain that nice level of distribution.

Bought the starter pack with 4 iconics in it. Unfortunately, one figure broke a few minutes after I took it out of the plastic. Paint job looks decent.
I picked up a bunch of Confrontation pre-painted miniatures that were close-out recently, and that quality definitely seems better than both Paizo & D&D. Unfortunately, they went out of business, I believe. Or at least no longer sell pre painted.

The minis look nice but compared to the WotC minis the larges, with the exception of the ettin and the spider, are way too small. The Paizo troll only comes up to my feral troll's waist. The frost giant, manticore and chimera are very anemic looking. The ogre and minotaur are runty looking, but not as bad as the other larges. Very disappointing.

Yeah, this is probably my biggest concern. They seem brittle to me. Fine if you handle them somewhat carefully, but not as robust as the old D&D minis. I think I could have stepped on an old D&D mini and it would have been fine. Not so sure with the Pathfinder ones.Originally Posted by NewJeffCT

These rails do a good job keeping charcoal to the sides, the problem is, that they have a tendency to fall and you need to brace them while pouring the charcoal in. Once the coals are in place they stay put

Wanted to upgrade my grill and thought the charcoal rails would be a good idea and love them! I can now keep my fire on both sides of the grill for indirect cooking or place all of the charcoal in the middle of the grill. By the way, I have a 22". I look forward to more small upgrades.

10 Reasons to Quit Your Coffee
Coffee: Is it good or bad for us? You might get media whiplash trying to figure that out. The truth is, I find this subject to be as confusing as you probably do.
After all, the media certainly doesn't help clarify whether America's favorite morning beverage is going to land you in the doc's office or set you free with a clean bill of health. It's no wonder so many of you shrug your shoulders in utter confusion as you refill your morning mug and get on with your day!
I know all about this adoration of coffee. I, too, was smitten and enamored with Coffea Arabica. We had our courtship during the 1990s, when I worked more than 80 hours in the emergency room and saw 30 to 40 patients a day.
I traded sleep for espresso, authentic energy for Haagen Daz coffee ice cream and normal circadian rhythms for high-speed, caffeinated adrenaline rushes.
But then, my body began to communicate to me what I had been attempting to ignore — that I needed to slow down and let the natural systems assume their proper course. You can read more about how I successfully turned my health around here.
As I began to tune into my body and provide it with what it really wanted — fresh, whole, real, unprocessed foods; sleep; relaxation; and the time to enjoy the life I had created for myself and my family — I was able to break up with coffee and make up with my health.
You can too, and I'm going to tell you how. But first, let's discuss what makes coffee such a hot topic widely disputed in today's health circles.

LegalZoom.com Plans To Pull Its IPO, Sell Stake to Permira
Online legal services company LegalZoom.com Inc. is not going public after all, despite the hoopla that accompanied its Form S-1 filing back in May of 2012.
Instead, the company plans to sell more than $200 million of its equity to a company backed by Permira, a European private equity firm. LegalZoom sells low-cost downloadable legal forms and pre-paid legal plans that provide consumers and small businesses with access to a network of third-party attorneys.
"It's a large capital raise," LegalZoom chief executive John Suh told Law Blog on Monday night. "Our intention is to notify the SEC that we will be pulling the S-1 prior to the close of the deal. We have not formally pulled it yet."
The move will make the Permira-backed company the largest LegalZoom stakeholder, according to a joint announcement by LegalZoom and Permira. Mr. Suh declined to say what percentage of the company that stake represents. Other big stakeholders include Polaris Venture Partners, Institutional Venture Partners and Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers.
So what gives? The marketplace for low-cost legal services has been heating up as of late, amid a proliferation of startups offering everything from online legal question-and-answer sessions to services matching up lawyers and clients. Over the past year or so both LegalZoom, which was founded in 2001, and its online rival, Rocket Lawyer Inc., have also expanded their reach with new ventures in the U.K.
But 2012 wasn't the best time for tech startups going public. Facebook Inc.'s troubled public offering, marked by technical glitches and a sharp drop in share price, came just one week after LegalZoom filed its paperwork to the SEC. Online game-maker Zynga Inc.'s debut in late 2011 was also disappointing for some investors.
By August 2012, LegalZoom's plans had been put on hold.
"We saw the public market conditions dramatically worsen," Mr. Suh said. "It just was not the right time."
LegalZoom had also launched a new research and development center in 2013 and rolled out a number of new products that had yet to establish a track record of results, he said. "Being public isn't the best environment for that," Mr. Suh said. "It's very difficult to guess what the renewal rate will be on a product one month after you launch it… What the public really wants is a predictable stream of revenue and profits."
Does this rule out a subsequent IPO for LegalZoom? With up to $200 million set to come in through the Permira investment, "there is not an imminent need for capital that would cause us to go public in the immediate future," Mr. Suh said. "It allows us to continue to focus on the innovation of products and services."

This program is a pile of junk. It asks for an admin password, looks ugly, hangs when adding eBooks, etc. Not even worth trying.

Alex Furrer, aptly nicknamed the Tahoe Tri Club's Supreme Master of Volunteering, decided to fill a winter-training void in the community.
He and other members of the triathlon club launched their first-ever yearlong swim-training program in early January to help children and adults train for upcoming triathlons and maintain their winter endurance workouts.
"I think I do it as a community, volunteer thing. When a project is not there, I feel the need to bring it there," Furrer said. "I spent many, many hours trying to coordinate the pool times. It's a lot of work."
Furrer, a Tahoe Tri Club board member, spent about 40 hours arranging for the three one-hour swim slots in the South Lake Tahoe Recreation Center pool and registering new members.
About 30 people have signed up so far for the $6-lessons geared toward anyone who can comfortably swim 25 yards and is interested in learning more about organized swimming or triathlons.
The Tahoe Tri Club offered biking and running sessions for South Shore students in the summer, but snow would cut the training season short. Furrer said the club wanted to expand the program into the winter.
An indoor, heated pool fit nicely into that plan.
The swim lessons will help young, future competitors prepare for the next Tahoe KIDS Tri Series, Furrer said. The Tahoe Tri Club established its inaugural children's triathlon in 2011, and then continued the event the next year with three more competitions.
Furrer said the club is on track for another children's series in 2013. Tentative dates for the races are July 21, Aug. 18 and Sept. 8 at Lake Baron, according to the club's Facebook page.
"We wanted to put together a program that was geared specifically toward triathlons ... It's a really great group and we're building a fun tribe of triathletes. We want to promote the healthy, active lifestyle," said Jason Collin, one of the club's chief officers.
Collin is already preparing for the Lake Tahoe Ironman that will take place in September. The grueling mega-triathlon consists of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a marathon and demands months or even years of training before athletes reach the start line.
"It's the granddaddy of triathlons. With it comes a lot of excitement and energy, and a lot of pomp and circumstance. It's tough in the winter because of the weather, but you just have to try and get in as much training as possible," Collin said.

One of the unique things to experience in the nation's capital this time of year is the Christmas Lights Across Canada program. From early December through early January the landmark sites across Ottawa are decorated and lit up with Christmas lights. Over 300,000 dazzling lights will be used throughout downtown Ottawa with over 60 sites on display.
Buildings along Confederation Boulevard in Ottawa and Gatineau attract visitors from all over the country during this time of the year. Many visitors schedule holiday shopping trips to Ottawa in time to see the lights. The lights across Canada program extends to other provinces and territories across the country.
On December 6th, the twenty eighth lighting will be take place in a ceremony on Parliament Hill with residents, visitors and dignitaries all sharing this special celebration. This is one of the most wonderful times to come and visit the capitol. Between the shopping, Christmas décor and spirit, there's not a better time to come and check out our great city. We'll provide warm housing and delicious hot breakfasts to get the day started. After experiencing the lights, come back to a welcoming pot of tea or cup of hot chocolate by the fire and then end your day in your comfortable, cozy room.

this gives me peace of mind. all in one place.
Keychain Access gets daily use from me. If you want to save your passwords or even just secure notes it's incredibly useful!
Could be more well integrated with the rest of the OS instead of having to open it every time.
It should be noted that the default keychain can be something besides your login keychain with a separate password from your login. This is the more secure way to store your passwords since your account password can be changed by anyone with OS X installation discs. Of course, you'll have to manually unlock your keychain when you want to access it but you can feel more secure if your laptop is ever stolen.
If you find typing in your keychain password everytime you want to connect to a wireless network or access some relatively unimportant website cumbersome, you can just save those passwords to the login keychain and keep your sensitive passwords in your default keychain.

"Our "Bridal Brunch" invitations are absolutely perfect. I got just the right look I was going for, and have received many compliments from the invited guests."
"This invitation was everything I wanted!!!! The card was beautiful, and I love the different fonts for the writing...it also came extremely quickly which was awesome because I had waited longer than I should have to order...will definitely use wedding divas again and highly recommend to anyone!"
"Absolutely loved this card. Was obsessed with the rasberry color I chose and loved that another suite (vivid blooms) matches it somewhat and I was able to find from that suite the recipe cards!"
"Everything about this card is perfect. The colors are vibrant, the quality of the paper is awesome especially with the pearl shimmer. The scallop edging is perfect and elegant. Love it."
"I was very happy when I received these because the invitations were more of a quality card stock rather than cheap paper. You will need to play around with fonts to ensure that the size will be big enough for readers see. My return address labels were very hard to read because the font was so small! There were few options. But I felt the color on the screen was true to what was on paper. I ordered the pink background."

Cleveland Browns coach Mike Pettine, who named Brian Hoyer as his starting quarterback two days ago, said Friday he is not ruling out a two-quarterback system featuring a package with rookie Johnny Manziel.
"We could potentially look at a two-quarterback system down the road,'' Pettine said on Sirius XM Radio.
Pettine admitted that he and Browns offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan have considered that option, but not for the season opener in Pittsburgh.
"No, this is Brian's job,'' Pettine said. "I don't foresee us now, especially early, being in a two-quarterback system. This is Brian's job and I never think of it as a leash or we want a guy to be a game manager. ... I don't want our guys on offense to feel like there's any type of governor there and they can't just cut it loose and be aggressive. I think when you feel like you're going to be solid on defense, that allows you to be even more aggressive on offense."
Pettine said Friday that a Manziel package is "on the table.''
During his press conference Wednesday to announce Hoyer as the starter, Pettine said he didn't envision such a platoon early in the season.
According to cleveland.com, Shanahan was asked July 31 if he would put in a package for Manziel right from the start, and he said he wouldn't hesitate.
"I would do it if it looked like the right thing to do,'' Shanahan said. "That has to do all about studying Pittsburgh, what their schemes are, whether we think some things look good versus them that maybe Johnny could do that Brian couldn't, what the rest of our team's doing. I have no problem with that.
"I think that does present some issues, but I don't like to ever do something just to do it. There's got to be a reason for it and we think something looks good and it can help our team move the chains and it can be successful, then I would never hesitate to do it."
Pettine also made it clear on Wednesday that Hoyer is on a week-to-week trial -- just like other starters.
"I don't want to make a permanent commitment to any starter,'' Pettine said. "I just don't think you can do that. I think you make more of a commitment to your quarterback because of the unique circumstances that surround that position. But I think you need all your guys on the roster running scared a little bit, that, 'Hey listen, if I don't perform, this is a performance-based business, if I don't perform, I'm not going to be in there.'''
While Hoyer has only four career starts -- and went 3-0 with the Browns before tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in 2013 -- his biggest advantages were experience and leadership.
"He was the clear leader from the beginning," Pettine said Wednesday. "We've maintained all along that if it was close, I would prefer to go with the more experienced player. Brian has done a great job in the meeting rooms and with his teammates on the practice field and in the locker room."
Manziel was disappointed he did not win the starting job, but he said the competition was fair.
"I feel like if I would have come out and played better, it would have been a different outcome," Manziel said. "I don't think I played terrible, but I didn't do anything to jump off the page. I made strides and got better throughout training camp, and that's what I wanted to do.
"Obviously, it's disappointing, but at the same time I want what's best for this team moving forward, and I'm going to continue (to) come out here every day and give it my all and continue to get better as a quarterback. That's all I can do."
Manziel, drafted 22nd overall in May, played only two seasons at Texas A&M in an offense designed to win at that level. The Browns want him to get more time in an NFL offense before asking him to beat NFL defenses. Manziel was not great statistically in two games. He also showed immaturity Monday night, Pettine said, when he raised his middle finger to the Washington Redskins' bench in response to heckling from the sideline.

For everyone in the area who showed up on Sunday, the answer was yes. Families in the area — from a variety of churches — brought in over 150 nativity scenes to the Methodist Church meeting hall.
There was no charge to attend; it wasn't a fundraiser.
"It's just our gift to the community," said organizer Roxanne Rossow.
One thing that became clear early on: every nativity scene came with a story.
One of the most unusual scenes was a crocheted set made by Kathryn Wilstermann, Karen Boots' grandmother.
"Karen remembers playing with (it) when she was younger, and she was able to add it to her collection of Christmas memories when her grandmother passed away," the program explained.
"Non-traditional elements, like a blond-haired Mary, reflect the fact that Kathryn was using up yarn scraps when she created this set."
Gail Bielen stated about her family's scene, "Our family has enjoyed this nativity in our home for many Christmases, and because the figurines are not breakable, young children often spend time touching them and rearranging the scene."
Pastor Jan Redman donated a scene she purchased traveling in Mexico.
"While a bit rough and crude, like Jesus' humble place of birth, it reminded me of the mountains that lay on one side of (San Carlos, Mexico) on the Sea of Cortes, across from Baja," she stated.
But one of the biggest lessons to walk away from the show with was the unity of their theme. For all the fun artists and craftsmen and women have finding variations of a theme, it's the one story its about that brings them all together.

Hell hath no furry like my wife when she's pissed off. But I can't imagine the random blasting of Lisa Loeb we heard was half as bad as what the people who live next to Jamie Grecco have to put up with.
