Dr. A. Hoyt Taylor,
From Dunlaps 100 greatest men in radio Pages 194-196
Albert Hoyt Taylor
The Navys Radar Pioneer
Born: January 1, 1879 Chicago, Ill.
Albert Hoyt Taylor, radio engineer, investigator of ethereal phenomena and pioneer in radar, was graduated in 1899 from Northwestern University with a B.S. degree. He opened his career as a teacher and was appointed instructor of physics and electrical engineering at Michigan State College, 1900-03; then instructor at the University of Wisconsin, 1903-05; assistant professor, 1905-08. From the Imperial University at Goettingen, Germany, he obtained a Ph. D. in 1909, and served as professor of physics at the University of North Dakota, 1909-17.
Taylor was a pioneer in the study and development of short waves and concentrated on that phase of radio when he joined the government service in November, 1917, commissioned a lieutenant in the United States Navel Reserve. In 1918, he became a lieutenant commander; in 1919, commander. As superintendent of the Radio Division of the United States Naval Research Laboratory, Anacostia, D.C., he studied polarization of electric waves, round-the-earth echoes or multiple signals and the structure of the upper atmosphere. As the result of his experiments in 1925, the radio deflecting roof revealed two waves one horizontal traveling the earths surface, the other revounding from the sky. The radio roof or Heaviside theory was further confirmed.
Taylor, regarded as one of the governments most skilled experts in radio research and engineering, was awarded the Liebmann Memorial Prize by the Institute of Radio Engineers in 1927 for his short-wave work and application of piezo crystals in transmitting circuits. He also designed special radio equipment for aircraft. World War II found him engaged in important radio research at Anacostia, with all his experience of the First World War and of the intervening years to enhance the value of his work.
Serving as president of the Institute of Radio Engineers in 1929, he once remarked, I might be classed as 25 per cent physicist, 25 per cent inventor, 25 per cent naval officer and 25 per cent radio engineer.
Taylors important work in the study of radio echoes and the structure of the upper atmosphere contributed greatly to the development of radar radio detecting and ranging.
Tracing the United States Navys early development of radar, the Navy Department on May 23, 1943, called attention to the fact that on mid-September of 1922 Taylor and Leo C. Young, working in the Naval Aircraft Laboratory, Anacosta, observed that certain radio signals were reflected from steel buildings and metal ships. They also noticed that ships passing by a transmitter and receiver attuned to certain frequencies produced a definite interference pattern.
Between 1925 and 1930 the reflection phenomenon was used to measure the height of the Kennelly-Heaviside layer. Taylor and Young performed this work in conjunction with Dr. Gregory Breit and Dr. Merle A. Tuve, of the Carnegie Institute. Their associates during this period included Louis A. Gebhard, M.H. Schrenck, L. A. Hyland and later Robert M. Page and Robert C. Guthrie.
A report prepared by Taylor on radio-echo signals from moving objects was submitted on November 5, 1930, to the chief of the Bureau of Engineering, Navy Department. As a result, on January 19, 1931, the Bureau assigned the Naval Research Laboratory the problem of investigating the use of radio to detect the presence of enemy vessels and aircraft. Special emphasis was placed on the confidential nature of the problem.
Many conferences with Army and Navy officers were accompanied by demonstrations during the ensuing years. The importance of having radar tested with the fleet was realized as a result of studies made during the tactical maneuvers of the fleet in the Pacific during the autumn of 1936. As a further step, the Naval Research Laboratory on February 17, 1937, conducted a demonstration for naval officers of radar detection of aircraft. Also in 1937 the first radar equipment was taken to sea. The next year was spent in designing and building a practical shipboard model which was installed on the U.S.S. New York late in 1938.
The radio echoes which A. Hoyt Taylor heard coming back to earth from outer space were echoes that challenged scientists to make use of them. Once that was done, radar added a new dimension to the science of radio.
As Chairman of the Medal for Merit Board, Cordell Hull, Secretary of State, presented the Medal of Merit, awarded to civilians for outstanding services in the war, to Taylor with this citation: (March 28, 1944)
For exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services in the line of his profession as member of the staff of the Naval Research Laboratory. Undiscouraged by frequent handicaps, Dr. Taylor labored tirelessly in the course of intensive research and experimentation which eventually resulted in the discovery and development of radar. His foresight, technical skill and steadfast perserverance contributed in large measure to the timely introduction of a scientific device which has yielded the United States Navy a definite advantage over her enemies during the present war.
Web Editor's Note: A. Hoyt Taylor was the Navy's Trans-Atlantic Communications Officer stationed at Marconi's Belmar High-Powered Station during WWI.
Selected chapters of his book: RADIO REMINISCENCES: A HALF CENTURY can be seen by clicking here that tell of his time in Wall N.J.
A few years after Dr. Taylor and the team he assembled left the Belmar station and formed the Naval Radio Laboratory the team would develop Navy Radar.
At the end of WWII Dr. Taylor would be recognized as the father of Naval radar. For detail see the 1945 disclosure of the radar secret published by the Daily News

My work name was Genevieve and I want to tell you that the porn industry is not glamorous at all. Although on the surface it may appear to be fun and enjoyable, it really doesnt compare to what lies beneath the surface.
I started in porn in 2009 when I was only twenty years old.
I loved and craved attention. I always believed that I was porn material because of how much attention I would get and how much love I would feel from it. My mother and father divorced five years ago and because of the emptiness I had felt for so long, I was desperate for love.
I remember browsing through ads on Craigslist when I approached one that attracted me. It was an ad that was for Latina women and it said that they needed pretty, slender, curvy girls to make fast and easy money. I was astonished because I needed the money to pay for school and clothes and I was going to get the attention I always loved and wanted.
I emailed the agents and believe it or not, they replied that same day. I was pretty excited to get to be a part of something that I wanted to do when they called me and told me to meet them that same day.
We went to a hotel and they started taking naked pictures of me so they could send them to two major companies in Florida. The next day, I went to the company and they also took naked pictures of me.
At the shoot, I was nervous and scared. I never did anything on camera before and I was thinking was how it would feel to actually do something that the whole world was going to see. So to brush off my anxiety, I drank extra fluids and was given some vodka to lower my inhibitions.
I waited desperately to start my video, make the money, and leave. But not only did starting the video take time, making it was also very painful and time consuming. At the time, I thought that porn was fast and easy. But they wanted to take so many pictures. So not only did the pictures take time, but the lighting and sex positions needed to be perfect.
My experience was very bad and I didnt enjoy it at all when they started filming. I was so surprised because when I watched porn, it didn't seem like it would be so hard to have sex on camera.
I didnt do the sexual positions right and to conclude the experience, I had bodily fluids all over my face that had to stay on my face for ten minutes. The abuse and degradation was rough. I sweated and was in deep pain. On top of the horrifying experience, my whole body ached, and I was irritable the whole day. The director didn't really care how I felt; he only wanted to finish the video.
I thought my agents were there for me, but in actuality, they didnt care about me at all.
After I said I wasnt going to do anything anymore, they began to threaten me and make me feel like I was just a money making machine. Every time I made a video they would get 15% of my money.
Its a terrible business. Women are used solely as sex objects and nothing more. The actresses are treated like dollar bills and there is no compassion and no comfort provided.
All I know is that porn is not what people think.

It's hard to predict the direction a team will head in the draft before free agency begins. Needs at the end of the regular season will always be different than needs after free agency. Teams can either fill holes, or create new ones.
For the Dolphins, the needs are likely to change before the draft. They have a lot of money to spend and won't be cheap when it comes to giving away their money.
If you followed the Dolphins at all this season, the needs seem to be pretty obvious. Wide receiver, cornerback, pass-rusher and offensive lineman seem to be the biggest and most pressing needs. With a deep class of receivers and a talented class of pass-rushers, Miami might be looking at those positions in the early rounds. However, it's too early to predict anything without knowing the direction Miami goes in free agency.
Here's a wish list for the Dolphins if the draft were to be held today.

Travel for two: choose the perfect trip for your relationship status
Travelling is the ultimate relationship test. You'll find out more about your life partner while haggling with an Ecuadorian chicken-merchant than you would in 40 years of marriage.
The easy way to commit this ValentineŌĆÖs Day
So things are going well: youŌĆÖve just started dating your soul mate. You both enjoy long walks along the beach and Meg Ryan movies (the early years). You share a common love for waffles, and they think your Instagram addiction is actually quite endearing. Then they turn to you and say, ŌĆśWe should take a trip!ŌĆÖ Enter crippling anxiety.
#HeartTravel photo competition: A few of our favourites
Earlier this week, we launched our #HeartTravel photo competition on Instagram┬Āin time with Valentine's Day, asking you to share your favourite travel place with us.
We were overwhelmed with the range of breathtaking photos and heartfelt reasons why certain places had a hold of your heart. From stunning scenery, rare wildlife encounters, meaningful exchanges with locals and places that were special for personal moments,┬Āthe responses were truly inspiring.
So, we thought we would share just a few…
#hearttravel Instagram Photo Competition
Sure, being in love with a real-life, actual person can be pretty great ŌĆō we wouldnŌĆÖt deny that. But sometimes being in love with a place can be pretty special too. It might be the food your place-crush feeds you, the beach strolls it takes you on or just that you met your real-life, actual-person lover there. Whatever the case, places deserve some loving too.
This ValentineŌĆÖs Day then, we want to know which country ŌĆō or city, or place ŌĆō has a hold of your heart.

Personnel on duty at the Lawrenceburg, KY, water treatment plant May 9, 2000, paid little attention when a small explosion sounded in the "Mission creep" is the process by which a mission's methods and goals change gradually over time. When EPA Region 6 initially responded to the Columbia shuttle disaster it was in its traditional role of handling hazardous materials emergencies, said EPA's Jim Staves.
"It didn't take us very long to realize that our challenge was going to be dealing with the enormity of the situation," Staves said. "The issues we really faced were personnel management, data management, information management and financial management. These were the issues that really overwhelmed us initially."
Typically, EPA dispatches a single coordinator to a hazmat incident to work with the responsible parties. According to Staves, Region 6 preparedness team leader, that coordinator can expect to be home within a couple of days. By contrast, the shuttle response was spread over a huge geographic area. Offices had to be opened and staffed in a number of different areas.
The Region 6 EPA team coordinated haz mat response, debris recovery and documentation of each shuttle item recovered. Early in the recovery effort, EPA provided airborne photometric collection technology and utilized a sophisticated Trace Atmospheric Gas Analyzer vehicle that traveled East Texas roads monitoring air for potentially hazardous chemicals.
NASA and FEMA quickly realized that the EPA's greatest contribution to the search effort would be in data collection and management, Staves said. In particular, EPA technology developed to more closely inspect oil well sites throughout the United States was adopted to the search.
"We had over the past few years developed some pretty sophisticated means of going out into the field and collecting a lot of information quickly, storing it in Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) so that it could be uploaded to laptop computers using wireless internet or satellite feeds," Staves said.
That information was compiled in a master data base, he said. For each piece of shuttle debris recovered, the data base recorded a longitude and latitude, other location information, the name of the person who collected it and specific information about the debris. EPA also helped track logistical information about resources and personnel deployed in the field.
All of the EPA personnel involved had specific training on operating within the Incident Command System (ICS), Staves said.
"You have to use ICS on small day-to-day events to get used to the terminology and organizational structure," Staves said. "Otherwise, when a big event happens, you quickly become overwhelmed by all the information that comes in and the enormity of the response effort." Not everyone at the emergency scene can be the incident commander, Staves said. It is important to train people in the other roles that incident command requires.
"In ICS you've got four major functions -- planning, logistics, operations and financing," Staves said. "In everyone's organization you need personnel who are well trained in doing each of those tasks."
Homeland security issues reduced the resources that the EPA could typically rely on, Staves said. The U.S. Coast Guard strike team is often called in to help EPA establish incident command and resource management. But, with a Level Orange alert in effect, the Coast Guard was occupied with port and other security issues. Many EPA personnel were also held in reserve to deal with any emergency arising from the Level Orange alert.
"What that meant was that for the first time we had to bring out to the command post a lot of other people who were field capable, inspectors and people like that, to provide some essential functions that other agencies had done for us in the past," Staves said. Under the new era of homeland security, federal agencies are going to be tasked to do things that are well beyond the kind of missions expected from them in the past, Staves said. "Our role traditionally has been to respond to oil fields, haz mat spills and things like that,"
Staves said. "We never expected to be monitoring a sanitary landfill in New York after the collapse of a major building. We never expected to be doing anthrax decontamination in federal buildings. We sure didn't expect to be picking up shuttle debris in East Texas.

The association between childhood cognitive ability and adult long-term sickness absence in three British birth cohorts: a cohort study

- Published 1 April 2012
Objectives The authors aimed to test the relationship between childhood cognitive function and long-term sick leave in adult life and whether any relationship was mediated by educational attainment, adult social class or adult mental ill-health.
Design Cohort study.
Setting The authors used data from the 1946, 1958 and 1970 British birth cohorts. Initial study populations included all live births in 1 week in that year. Follow-up arrangements have differed between the cohorts.
Participants The authors included only those alive, living in the UK and not permanent refusals at the time of the outcome. The authors further restricted analyses to those in employment, full-time education or caring for a family in the sweep immediately prior to the outcome. 2894 (1946), 15 053 (1958) and 14 713 (1970) cohort members were included. Primary and secondary outcome measures: receipt of health-related benefits (eg, incapacity benefit) in 2000 and 2004 for the 1958 and 1970 cohorts, respectively, and individuals identified as 'permanently sick or disabled' in 1999 for 1946 cohort.
Results After adjusting for sex and parental social class, better cognitive function at age 10/11 was associated with reduced odds of being long-term sick (1946: 0.70 (0.56 to 0.86), p=0.001; 1958: 0.69 (0.61 to 0.77), p<0.001; 1970: 0.80 (0.66 to 0.97), p=0.003). Educational attainment appeared to partly mediate the associations in all cohorts; adult social class appeared to have a mediating role in the 1946 cohort.
Conclusions Long-term sick leave is a complex outcome with many risk factors beyond health. Cognitive abilities might impact on the way individuals are able to develop strategies to maintain their employment or rapidly find new employment when faced with a range of difficulties. Education should form part of the policy response to long-term sick leave such that young people are better equipped with skills needed in a flexible labour market.

Yamaha Clavinova CLP-500 Series Digital Pianos Let Pianists Choose from Both Yamaha and Bösendorfer Concert Grands(June 06, 2014)
Buena Park, CA (PRWEB) June 06, 2014
Yamaha today introduced the Clavinova CLP-500 Series digital pianos that are the first of their kind to feature sounds from two distinct piano brands: the Yamaha CFX 9-foot concert grand and the Bösendorfer Imperial. Upper models in the series feature Yamahas new Virtual Resonance Modeling (VRM) technology which emulates the sonic behavior of acoustic piano strings. Piano touch enhancements have also been added to every model in the line, which can include real wooden keys, a key action escapement feel and Yamaha's Synthetic Ivory keytops, which give these digital pianos a more authentic, acoustic piano-like playability than ever before.
Players now have a choice of two of the most heralded grand piano sounds in the world in a digital pianothe powerful, dynamic sound of the Yamaha CFX and the warm, rich tone colors of the Bösendorfer Imperial. This is a great coup for musicians, said Dane Madsen, Marketing Manager, Digital Pianos, Yamaha Corporation of America. Considering this, and the touch improvements weve made throughout the line, you can immediately appreciate the superior playing experience and value that our award-winning Clavinova series represents.
Geared especially towards families seeking an upright piano alternative, the six models of the Clavinova CLP-500 Series include the CLP-525, CLP-535, CLP-545, CLP-575, CLP-565GP baby grand and CLP-585. The Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial Voices and key action escapement are available in models CLP-535 and above. Real wooden keys are featured in models CLP-545 and higher. The CLP-525 offers Clavinova technologies and cabinetry at a new, entry-level price point.
CLP-500 Series models provide a variety of interactive music entertainment, education and performance features that make these digital pianos just as enjoyable for beginners as they are for advanced pianists.
Models CLP-535 and above can integrate seamlessly and wirelessly with the Apple iPad and exclusive Yamaha apps for iOS like NoteStar, which lets users view scores of the internal lesson songs and even turn pages with the Clavinovas pedals. Wireless features require the optional Yamaha UDWL01 Wi-Fi adapter.
Select CLP-500 models also have USB connectivity, which lets pianists easily capture performances, document and store piano lesson material or record original compositions as high-quality audio files or MIDI songs.
Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC) assures that these instruments maintain a full, rich sound with balanced highs and lows at all volume levels.
New exclusive keyboard actions found within the CLP-500 Series Clavinovas include the new GH3X (Graded Hammer 3X) action with escapement or NWX action which adds real wooden keys. The CLP-575 and CLP-585 have the added authenticity of an acoustic piano touch with Graded Linear Hammers that simulates a grand piano action where no two keys are weighted alike. The CLP-525 features Yamahas GH3 (Graded Hammer 3) action.
In addition to cutting-edge technology and quality craftsmanship, the new CLP-500 Series offers attractive upright piano cabinetry that is taller than previous lines, providing a more authentic acoustic piano appearance. The series also offers finish options to match any home décor, including black walnut, rosewood, mahogany and polished ebony. A simple, intuitive control panel with LCD on most models improves ease of operation from previous generations, yet is subtler so it doesnt detract from the piano aesthetic of the instruments.
Pricing and Availability
Select Clavinova CLP-500 Series models will be available in June 2014. Pricing for each model will vary by finish and starts from:

Brian Sewell, the outspoken art critic and friend of the notorious spy Anthony Blunt, finally gives his long-awaited account of the scandal in a memoir serialised exclusively in The Times.
Mr Sewell suggests that Andrew Gow, a Cambridge don, was a mentor and possible "puppet master" for Blunt and other spies who had been engaged in passing secrets to the Soviet Union in the 1930s and 1940s.
Blunt, an eminent art historian who had been Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures, was publicly exposed as the fourth man of the group in 1979. He had been rumbled by MI5 in 1964

SilverStone FM121
We have already tested liquid-cooling systems and air coolers from SilverStone. Now it is time to meet some of their fans. We would like to introduce to you three pairs of fans out of four manufactured under this brand name. The first model we will talk about is FM121, which is in fact a second reincarnation of the good old GlacialTech Silent Blade I series that many of you might still remember.
The fans are shipped in a large box of thick cardboard, with a cut-out window in the front panel reveling part of the fan to the user's eye:
The detailed specifications of the fan are listed on the reverse side of the box. There are also its key features described in several languages. The fan comes with the following accessories:
Fan rotation speed controller, retention screws and wire grid protecting overclockers and their little ones from sharp fan blades. Stepless controller is designed as a panel that fits into the 3.5-inch system case slot:
We got our hands on a black panel, although the silver panel is also available.
Now let's take a closer look at the fan. The frame and the fan blades are made of white plastic that is why these fans stand out among the competitors' solutions:
The fans measure 120 x 120 x 25mm. I would like to specifically draw your attention to very aggressively curved nine blades:
…and to the fact that the fans are actually manufactured by EverFlow, according to the spindle sticker:
The original fan model is marked as R121225BU. The rotation speed of SilverStone FM121 fan can be adjusted from 800 (±80) RPM to 2400 (±240) RPM creating an airflow from 36.68CFm to 110.03CFM. The level of generated noise lies between 17 and 39.5dBA. The results of our in-house acoustic measurements are available in the corresponding section of this roundup. However, here I would like to point out that up to ~1400RPM the fan is subjectively very quiet (when the blades rotate at 1150RPM or less you cannot hear it at all). However, once the rotation speed rises beyond 1400RPM, the motor starts roaring, which then dissipates in the airflow noise at ~1600RPM or higher. I would also like to point out that the fan rotation speed controller is of pretty low sensitivity, because sometimes the fan rotation speed will not change at all even when the knob is turned.
It was a little discouraging to see that there are bushes in the retention holes:
In other words, you will not be able to use the retention clips of Thermalright or Noctua coolers to catch to the internal retention holes of these fans, while with Scythe coolers there should be no problem: the clips catch to the external holes there.
The fans are built with two frictionless bearings with specified MTBF of 50,000 hours at 25ºC ambient temperature. The cable with the fan rotation speed controller extension measures the record-breaking 900mm. SilverStone FM121 is priced at $14.99.

HIV Prevention and Testing > Am I Infected?
Advice Please
(1/2) > >>
To all the experts here...Almost 2 months ago I had receptive anal intercourse with another man in na sauna (I was receptive partner). I made sure he used a condom both times (two different positions). However after the second time he started what I thought was frottage but then started to stick it in - as soon as I felt it I told him to take it out - but it had started to push in. HE did not climax in me, but I know HIv is also contained n pre-cum. I was very stupid I didn;t immediatley rush to go on PEP as I should have - but here is the additional factor.At the time and afterwards I was using marjuana on a daily basis (I am a foolish self loathing little man), which was what (combined with a bout of depression) initiated my visit to the sauna. My anal area was havily lubed - would the chemicals in the lube possibly protect me from the precum if there was any?Does marijuanause make a difference regarding chances of infection, effects on possible symptoms (I had diaherea, but that always happens when I am using it - i.e. does it change them or mask them), and whether it effects my window period for testing?Generally what was the risk? I am so stupid - I shouldn't have gone to the sauna in the first place! I was so happy after my last negative result I promised not to take any risks. And yes I am aware I have to seek treatment regarding my depression and substance abuse issues.Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.Many thanks,AusDazzPS I had a username some months ago but depsite many attempts I was unable to retreive it. This is why I have created this username - I have only had one post under that username in JAnuary this year. I apologise if I have breached the rules in creating this username.
Hi AUSWelcome to the forum.We all like to have fun. Nothing bad about thatInsertive sex can be a risk, even if the person does not come inside of you. So, you need to be carefull, and the only way to find out if you are infected is to get testedMarihuana certainly doesn't lower the risk of getting infected....However, before jumping to conclusionsI would strongly suggest to read the lesson section.You will find usefull information there.HermieMake sure the next time you have sex you are in control.
Sorry among my many spelling mistakes I did not get my message across properly.Both times the sex was protected. After the protected sex he surprised me by sticking it in (I thought he was going to dry hump me to use a crude word for it) without a condom. It only had started to push on before I made it clear it was to be withdrawn, which he did do. Is there any chance that that lessens the risk at all. As stated earlier my anus was covered heavily in lube. I did not have any cuts or brusies around my anus at the time and the sex I had had was not painful so it did not feel like anyhting was torn or brusied inside. I know I will have to have a test to be 100% sure but any information about how high the risk was in this situation would be greatly, greatly appreciated.Many thanks,AusDazz
Dazz,From what you describe (the briefest of penetration without a condom) I would fully expect you to test negative. However, it would probably be a good idea to test as hiv is nothing to guess about. You should be having regular, routine sexual health care check ups anyway, including but not limited to hiv testing. There are other STIs out there that are much, much more easily transmitted than hiv. Marijuana will not affect your tests, nor will it affect your window period or symptoms. By the way, symptoms or the lack of symptoms will never tell you a thing about your hiv status. The ONLY way to know your hiv status is through the appropriate test at the appropriate time.Test for peace of mind, but I would expect you to test negative. Keep using those condoms and remain vigilant against men who would enter you unprotected. Ann
Ann,Thank you for your answer. Another additional point - if I was "open" in some way around or inside my anus area (ie a cut or a tear caused by the previous protected sex) would blood perhaps be visible on the insertive partners penis (there did not seem to b e any when he withdrew)? I know I am clutching at straws by asking these additional questions, but I am in a state of high anxiety. Would I have felt a stinging sensation in or around the area if there was?It is hard to be vigilant. I watched this person like a hawk to make sure they were putting on a condom (and they didn't need to be asked to - he did so once it was clear I was interested in that sexual act) both times (although in moments of panic when I remember the encounter I sometimes can't be clear whether the I did so the second time - but I know I would not have let him in unless I was sure it was covered) and it came as a complete surprise that he shoved it in a third time without protection. He was about to say something when I asked him to take it out, but I cut him off when I insisted he take it out - in my darker fantasies I think he was going to say "but I already did it to you like this". *Sigh* Its my fault for not being assertive , but when he behaved safely without asking, I assumed he would go on behaving safely. Anyway the last sentence and observation is fodder for a mental health professional rather then here, but the question about blood visibility and stinging still stands, ie would I see/feel those things?Many thanks,AusDazz

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
Not sure about eyeglasses, but I apply a super super thin coat of soap diluted a tiny bit with water to the bathroom windows and they don't fog up.
Ooh...any kind of soap? Though I'd be paranoid that it would somehow get in my eyes...I'm talented, that way. If there's a way to blind myself on a run, I'll find it!

Princeton's admission process goes beyond simply looking for academically accomplished students. For each freshman class, we bring together a varied mix of high-achieving, intellectually gifted students from diverse backgrounds to create an exceptional learning community. We care about what students have accomplished in and out of the classroom. The process is highly selective. In recent years, we've offered admission to less than 10 percent of applicants.
As you prepare your application, help us to appreciate your talents, academic accomplishments and personal achievements. We'll ask for your transcript and recommendations, and we will want to know more than just the statistics in your file. Tell us your story. Show us what's special about you. Tell us how you would seize the academic and non-academic opportunities at Princeton and contribute to the Princeton community. Above all, please write in a style that reflects your own voice.
How to Apply
Princeton accepts the Common Application and the Universal College Application. Princeton treats them both equally. To apply using the Common Application, you will need to submit both the Common Application and Princeton's writing supplement to the Common Application through the Common Application website. Although applying online is preferred, you also may apply by paper. A PDF of the application is available, as well as a PDF of the Princeton Supplement to the Common Application.
To apply online using the Universal College Application, please visit the Universal College Application website, where you will find the First-Year Admissions Application and Princeton Supplement to the Universal College Application. If you prefer to apply by paper, a PDF of the application is available on the Universal College Application website, as well as a PDF of the Princeton Supplement to the Universal College Application.
When to Apply
You have two choices for applying to Princeton -- single-choice early action or regular decision. Before you begin preparing your application, we strongly encourage you to review our standardized testing policy, which includes detailed information regarding our standardized testing requirements.
Who Can Apply
We accept students who will begin their freshman year in the fall. Princeton does not offer spring semester entry or a transfer admission option. If you already have started a college or university degree program elsewhere, you are not eligible to apply for admission to Princeton.
If a student has submitted an application on three separate occasions, the Office of Admission generally will not review subsequent applications. In these instances, if an application fee was submitted, it will be returned.
Fee Waiver
You may request a fee waiver if you are applying for financial aid and the cost of applying to Princeton represents a financial hardship for your family. Please note that applying for a fee waiver will not disadvantage your application in any way.
To request a waiver, select the fee waiver option in the Common Application or the Universal College Application. Your college or guidance counselor must approve your fee waiver request online or submit your fee waiver form by mail or fax.
In addition to the Common Application and Universal College Application fee waivers, Princeton also accepts the College Board, NACAC, or Realize Your College Potential fee waiver forms. Those participating in the QuestBridge program also may request a fee waiver.
Undocumented or DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) Students
Princeton's admission and financial aid policies are the same for undocumented or DACA students as they are for all other students applying to the University for admission or financial aid.
The University's generous need-based financial aid program applies equally to all applicants. If admitted, undocumented students can be confident that their full financial need, as determined by the financial aid office, will be met.
We encourage undocumented students to consult with the Office of Admission and the Office of Financial Aid if they have any questions about our process.
Veterans' Benefits
Princeton University welcomes applications from veterans and dependents who are eligible for education benefits offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs, which include the Yellow Ribbon Program, and complies with the principles outlined in Executive Order 13607.
Princeton participates fully in the Yellow Ribbon program without limitation on the number of students who are eligible. The executive order addresses key areas relating to federal military and veterans educational benefits programs.
Disability Services
The Office of Disability Services offers a range of services to ensure that students with disabilities have equal access to Princeton's academic and extracurricular opportunities.
The Disability Services staff is available to meet with prospective students who are visiting the campus. Also, for more information you may visit the office's Website.
The University's admission process involves a holistic review of each applicant's entire file. No particular factor is assigned a fixed weight; rather, the process involves a highly individualized assessment of the applicant's talents, achievements and his or her potential to contribute to learning at Princeton. Please see the Joint Statement on Common Ivy Group Admission Procedures for more information about admission policies.

Yesterday, a six-year old boy stole his parents' car after missing his school bus. The ingenious lad was determined not to be late for school and figured breaking several laws was a fair exchange (I'm sure that makes sense for children ages 6 to...I don't know, 48). When questioned, the boy said he was able to pull off his heist through knowledge he gained from video games. According to The Associated Press:
The boy and his four-year old brother are currently in protective custody. There are a few takeaways here. The boy's hand-eye coordination must be pretty advanced for his age; while he didn't make it to the finish line, I'm totally impressed that he made it six miles. He's also very lucky that he wasn't seriously injured. Lastly, the parents should be in hot water for neglecting their kid, but they should also be dinged for letting a six-year old play an M-rated game. Unfortunately, someone out there is going to use this as an excuse to attack the "evils of gaming", but a youngster playing Grand Theft Auto?!? That's just bad parenting.

The location is perfect for visiting the main attractions of the city, the staff is friendly and always prone to help you if you need anything. The rooms are clean and the dining room clear. The only "bad" thing is that it doesn't have enough bathrooms for all the people, but it's a tiny detail.

its a hostel but not a castle. appartment hostel would be closer to the truth (but less attractive). the owner would do really good if he could give the rooms new furniture, especially the beds. also bringing in some lockers would really be an improvement. apart from that the hostel is not too bad. toilets and showers are clean and working fine. the breakfast is small but very nice. location is perfect as you can see by yourself on the map. its easy and quick to get there from attatürk-airport

Leg Cramps and Stretching Exercises
I've had leg cramps that were so sudden and ferocious I thought I'd be able to punch a hole through the wall with my pain! Leg cramps can creep up and grab you without warning.
There are more than a few reasons why people get leg cramps. One common reason is too much salt in the diet. Yep, I know you hate to hear that but salt, lovely salt, can work against you in your leg muscles.
The rule of thumb I follow is to overdo my water drinking whenever I eat something salty – which is often. If I am going to enjoy my popcorn but also have good sleep without leg cramps, I have learned that I must double up, triple up on drinking water. Keeping the muscles hydrated can compensate for too much salt circulating through your system.
Of course if it's easier for you to cut back on the amount of daily salt you are consuming, you are a better person than I am.
One more major cause of leg cramps is lack of stretching. It should be a hard fast rule for you to do good leg stretches before and after any kind of exercise. Stretching exercises to prevent leg cramps are too darn easy. Before I even get out of bed in the morning, I draw circles with my ankles. That warms up my legs. After the ankle circles, I can gently begin pointing my toes and flexing them alternatively. As if I am waving at the air with my feet. Then I'm ready to get out of bed and begin the day.
During the day, I periodically do calf stretches and shin stretches. I face a wall and place my heel on the ground as close to the wall as possible then take one step with that foot as if I am trying to climb up the wall. I don't allow my shoe to leave the ground. (see image above) If I hold that position and lean in with the rest of my body towards the wall, I get a really good calf muscle stretch. This helps me avoid leg cramps throughout the day and night.
After that calf stretch, I bend the knee backwards and lean back with my hand to grasp my shoe giving my shin a great stretch as well.
If you give these suggestions a lot of respect and still get leg cramps, you might consider taking in more magnesium, either through supplements or through that miracle powder called Calm (sold at health food stores).
Leg cramps are annoying but if you limit your salt intake and stretch before and after you do any sort of exercising you will be okay.

"2016 is looming as the year during which a gap in weather satellites could leave the nation without some of the severe storm data that's vital to early warnings. "
The last piece in Pittman's article is the most significant: when data was rerun without the satellite data input, the forecast was off by 50%. That's a graphic demonstration of how valuable the satellites are in forecasting severe weather. Funding the program as it has been designed should be continued.

State Water Resources Research Institute Program
Project ID: 2008GA184B
Title: A Comprehensive Evaluation of the Mandatory Drought Responses in Georgia
Project Type: Research
Start Date: 3/01/2008
End Date: 2/28/2009
Congressional District: 5
Focus Categories: Drought, Conservation, Law, Institutions, and Policy
Keywords: drought, water conservation, performance,
Principal Investigators: Cozzens, Susan E.; Park, Hyun Jung (Georgia Institute of Technology)
Federal Funds: $ 18,000
Non-Federal Matching Funds: $ 37,373
Abstract: Due to the enormous rainfall deficits, the entire state of Georgia has been very thirsty in 2007. Especially, across the north Georgia the drought conditions are extreme. Lake and stream levels are far below average levels and surface soil moisture deficits have also become worse, which would impose substantial negative environmental impacts, social hardships, and economic losses. To deal with this extreme drought, the state of Georgia Governor declared a "Drought Emergency" and imposed mandatory water restrictions and conservation practices. All non-farm water permit holders in the 61 North Georgia counties covered under the Level 4 drought designation are required to reduce water use by 10 percent against the baseline monthly average. This Georgia mandatory water-use reduction of permit holders is exceptional in terms of the strictness and scope of the enforcement. Also, he Georgia Governor announced another executive order to reduce water consumption by 10 to 15 percent at state owned facilities. This project will evaluate the performance of these mandatory drought responses in Georgia and identify key influential factors which determine the level of performance of conservation.
The objective of this project is to improve performances of water conservation and effectiveness of drought responses by providing useful information and policy options in developing a comprehensive guideline for water conservation and drought management. This project will answer the following questions:
Most information will be analyzed with statistical models. The level of performance (reduction percent or amount of water consumption) will be a dependent variable and a variety of independent variables will be considered. GIS will be utilized to distinguish the different performance of each district and analyze the different performance-associated factors. The information from the intensive interviews will be analyzed in a qualitative framework. All the results are summed up in a project report.

Thirty-three years ago today, Elvis Presley died at his home, Graceland, in Memphis, Tennessee. At the time, had anyone told the world that Elvis would be as revered three-plus decades later as he was when he was in his prime, it is likely that the prognosticator would be ridiculed. However, the madness of such a forecast is only now exceeded by the madness that is still Elvis-mania. Hundreds of thousands of people visit Graceland yearly, and Elvis's recordings sell to each succeeding generation.
The National Portrait Gallery's exhibition, "Echoes of Elvis," is a collection of works that were created since Elvis's death and pay tribute to the late king of rock and roll. Exhibition curator Warren Perry said, "We have been really pleased to be able to salute one of history's greatest entertainers. That the show has been well received is due to Elvis's continuing popularity, a third of a century since his death."
The Portrait Gallery will also be paying homage to the king with a second Elvis show this year, "Elvis at 21," which will feature photos (above) of Elvis by photographer Al Wertheimer. RCA asked Wertheimer to photograph Elvis during a March 1956 visit to New York, during which the young singer made an appearance on The Steve Allen Show and later recorded "Hound Dog" and "Don't Be Cruel."
"Elvis at 21" will open on October 23, 2010, and run through January 23, 2011. "Echoes of Elvis" will close on August 29.

Do not be misled. There is no compromise in our nations security by obeying the Constitution, as a warrant can be obtained in secret and even after the fact. The notion that any President has forsaken the very foundation of our countrys system of government whereby one branch (judicial) checks another branch (executive) from overreaching is an alarming fact. It is a modern day tyranny that must rouse our uniquely American sense of democracy and rekindle the historical embers from which our Declaration of Independence and Constitution arose. It is patriotic to stand against a government that violates its citizens rights. Indeed, it is our heritage and obligation, a tenet of our countrys greatness.
To ignore Big Brothers spying is to repeat our mistakes (e.g. internment of the Japanese) and allow the insidious degradation of our fundamental liberty. For if we are complacent, and anesthetize ourselves with the un-American mantra I dont care, I have nothing to hide, we have just sold our democratic heritage, and those who gave their lives for it, out. We will have turned our back until these rights are a historical footnote, a quaint luxury of the past when there was no omnipresent terrorist threat.
How we protect our civil liberties during a time of crisis is how our nation is, and should be, judged. If they mean anything, we must not cut and run from them when their real value is put to the test.
Thomas Jefferson said, Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the boisterous sea of liberty. Now is not the time for timidity. These rights have earned more than lip service.
It is our freedom, constitutionally protected, that we point to when justifying our attempts to spread democracy, not our economy or standard of living. Is this freedom not the very concept we are trying to bring to those in Iraq at the expense of countless lives?
Freedom is indeed not free. The cost of it might be less efficiency, and the guilty may occasionally go free, but we know we have the right to think and say what we believe, regardless of governmental eavesdropping, unlike North Korea. The right to be free from government spying is about as American as it gets. If we do not raise our collective voices in opposition, we have acquiesced, and should not be surprised to watch our liberties continually erode.
As we learn more about the Presidents spying in the upcoming hearings, we must be prepared to ask tough questions of him and ourselves. Is fear sufficient justification for taking our liberty? It takes courage to stand in the face of fear. Our nation can proudly make that stand for the whole world to see, and give discomfort to our enemies.

Home Meningitis What are meningitis and septicaemia? Salmonella meningitis
Salmonella meningitis is a very rare form of meningitis caused by salmonella bacteria. From 1975 to 1991, it accounted for 0.9% of cases of bacterial meningitis in newborn babies and 0.2% of cases of bacterial meningitis at other ages*.
Those affected are mostly newborn babies, but cases may also occur in immunodeficient adults. Babies born prematurely, with low birth weight, or after prolonged labour have a higher risk of most forms of neonatal (newborn) meningitis.
There are many kinds of Salmonella bacteria which often cause food-poisoning. Infection with Salmonella is very rarely life-threatening.
In a few rare cases, an unusual form of salmonella meningitis has been transmitted to babies, pregnant women and immunodeficient adults by pet reptiles. This is more widely known in the US where pet reptiles are more popular. The Chief Medical Officer for England issued advice on this in February 2000 after the death of a baby from Salmonella rubislaw meningitis, probably contracted from the family's pet water dragon. The advice follows:

The issue isn't winter—it's that we all have a home.
As Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez fights for his life, an honest assessment of his 14 years in office must take into account his significant achievements.
From humble origins, Chavez worked his way up the ranks of the Venezuelan military. He hit the national spotlight in 1992 after leading military officers in a failed coup attempt.
In a televised address, Chavez admitted the power grab had failed -- "for now," as he ominously put it. For many viewers, the obscure colonel became a national folk hero, someone who had finally stood up to a corrupt regime.
Six years later, Chavez won the presidency on a platform of shaking up the nation's political system and using the country's vast oil wealth to improve living standards.
He managed to do both.
For decades, the country's massive oil reserves -- estimated to be larger than Saudi Arabia's -- benefitted only a tiny elite, while millions wallowed in grinding poverty.
But since the Chavez government gained control of the oil industry in 2003, the proportion of Venezuelans living in poverty has been cut in half, from 60 percent to 30 percent. Health care and a college education -- once luxuries enjoyed only by the wealthy -- have become widely and freely available. And the country is now practically free of illiteracy.
Critics often question Chavez's democratic credentials, but he and his party have won 13 of the last 14 national elections. Voter turnout reached 80 percent during the last election -- far surpassing U.S. averages.
During his first year in office, voters approved a new constitution that dramatically boosted citizen involvement in government. Millions of poor Venezuelans now participate in local planning councils and in the naming of public officials. The slums are packed with communal councils and other civic organizations.
The government has also democratized access to the media by funding community TV and radio stations in poor barrios.
Chavez's impact extends far beyond Venezuela's borders, particularly as the most active proponent of Latin American integration. Besides building badly needed regional infrastructure -- like highways and pipelines -- integration efforts have given Latin America a much stronger position on the world stage. By helping establish regional bodies such as the Union of South American Nations, Chavez has enabled the region to chart a more independent path from Washington.
For Chavez, this has been in keeping with his attempt to fulfill the unrealized dream of his personal hero, South American independence fighter Simon Bolívar.
Chavez's death would be a great loss not only for Venezuela, but for all of Latin America.

Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front
Love the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready made. Be afraid to know your neighbors and to die. And you will have a window in your head. Not even your future will be a mystery any more. Your mind will be punched in a card and shut away in a little drawer. When they want you to buy something they will call you. When they want you to die for profit they will let you know. So, friends, every day do something that won't compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it. Denounce the government and embrace the flag. Hope to live in that free republic for which it stands. Give your approval to all you cannot understand. Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed. Ask the questions that have no answers. Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias. Say that your main crop is the forest that you did not plant, that you will not live to harvest. Say that the leaves are harvested when they have rotted into the mold. Call that profit. Prophesy such returns. Put your faith in the two inches of humus that will build under the trees every thousand years. Listen to carrion—put your ear close, and hear the faint chattering of the songs that are to come. Expect the end of the world. Laugh. Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts. So long as women do not go cheap for power, please women more than men. Ask yourself: Will this satisfy a woman satisfied to bear a child? Will this disturb the sleep of a woman near to giving birth? Go with your love to the fields. Lie easy in the shade. Rest your head in her lap. Swear allegiance to what is nighest your thoughts. As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it. Leave it as a sign to mark the false trail, the way you didn't go. Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.

Earley dismissed by Honesdale; Borough investigation is ended
March 14, 2012 —
Wayne Earley, the Honesdale Borough zoning officer whose licensure has been under the scrutiny of The Wayne Independent for weeks, was dismissed by the borough council with a vote of six in favor and one abstention. No member voted against it.
The March 12 motion to fire Earley came from board member Bob Jennings, who brought allegations against Earley nearly one year ago. The reason given for the dismissal was Earley's alleged lack of proper licenses, for the disorder of his recordkeeping and for some alleged missing files.
Furthermore, Earley for a time also acted as the zoning inspector for the neighboring Texas Township while holding the office for Honesdale, with a complex mingling of the two municipalities' records. Kelly Services, Inc is now conducting an examination of the two municipalities' records.
Earley claims that the allegations are false and has been advised by council not to speak publicly since he may have to go to litigation over the matter. He was not present at the meeting.
In setting the stage for the dismissal, Honesdale Borough Chairman F.J. Monaghan read a statement concerning a response received from Director of Labor and Industry Julia Hearthway after inquiry about the legitimacy of Earley's licenses.
The statement, which was quite long, stated in part: "In 2007, [Earley]completed certification for all building code officials, all residential inspections, accessibility inspections/plans examiner through the International Code Council," Monaghan said. "These were accepted by the Department of Labor and Industry (L&I) by August of 2007 as a building code official, residential electrical inspector, residential plumbing inspector and accessibility inspector/plans examiner."
But other licenses were not in compliance. Monaghan said that the borough was still working on why the residential mechanical and residential building inspector certifications, which Earley completed in September of 2007, were not recognized until December of 2010. "We cannot find a record of these documents having been submitted prior to December 2010 when the issue was raised by Mr. Jennings," he said.
After the meeting, Monaghan was asked if the borough's investigation through L&I was a moot question and would not be continued, to which he answered, "Yes." Asked further if the borough had evidence of Earley's licensing problems from a source other than The Wayne Independent, he declined to answer.

Cross-Site Evaluation of Project LAUNCH (Linking Actions for Unmet Needs in Children's Health), 2008-2018
Project Overview
In FY 2013, OPRE awarded a contract to NORC to develop and implement a multi-site evaluation of Project LAUNCH (Linking Action for Unmet Needs in Children's Health). This evaluation will focus on the outcomes for children and families living in Project LAUNCH communities, and will examine the impact the initiative is having on increasing community wellness. This work is funded through an intra-agency agreement between OPRE and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
In FY2008, OPRE awarded a contract to Abt Associates to develop and implement a cross-site evaluation of Project LAUNCH. Abt collected information from Project LAUNCH grantees related to state, tribal, and community systems development; implementation of evidence-based services in local communities; and local grantee evaluation designs and findings. This evaluation was also funded through an intra-agency agreement between OPRE and SAMHSA.
Project LAUNCH is a SAMHSA discretionary grant program designed to promote the wellness of young children ages birth to 8 years of age by addressing the physical, emotional, social, cognitive, and behavioral aspects of their development. Project LAUNCH grantees implement a range of evidence-based public health strategies to support young child wellness. Participating states, territories and tribes work to improve coordination among child-serving systems, build infrastructure, and improve methods for providing services. The majority of grant funds are passed from the state/territorial/tribal level to a local pilot community where the grant supports the enhancement and integration of services in addition to implementation of five prevention and wellness promotion strategies: Screening and Assessment in a Range of Child-serving Settings; Integration of Behavioral Health into Primary Care Settings; Mental Health Consultation in Early Care and Education; Enhanced Home Visiting through Increased Focus on Social and Emotional Well-being; and Family Strengthening and Parent Skills Training.
The multi-site evaluation design involves primary data collection of child-specific outcomes from parents recruited from schools and early childhood education (ECE) centers randomly selected from LAUNCH grantee locations, and matched control schools and ECE center from non-LAUNCH grantee locations. The evaluation design also involves the structured collection and compilation of data regarding system changes in LAUNCH target areas, and control areas. In addition NORC will collect data on LAUNCH grantee strategies, resource allocation between strategy types, and school or ECE level covariate information on the demographic and other relevant characteristics (crime statistics, and school level historical differences in performance) of the target and control areas under observation.
The point of contact is Laura Hoard.

Imagine me wanting to be a friend of Cossy's or whatever they call her. I dey Crase? Ii will lose all that is good in my life cos she's bad news to any normal being.

SEE LATEST: Mistakenly Released Killer Back In Custody
02/01/2013 – 9 p.m.
CHICAGO (CBS) — The finger-pointing between Cook County officials intensified Friday as the search continued for a convicted murderer mistakenly released from jail.
Someone in the sheriff's department allowed Steven Robbins, 44, an Indiana state prison inmate serving 60 years, to leave on Wednesday. He had been extradited to Chicago for a court appearance in an unrelated case.
But State's Attorney Anita Alvarez says armed violence and cocaine possession charges against Robbins had been dismissed in 2007, and thus there was no reason to bring him here, despite a series of letters from the inmate demanding trial.
She blames sheriff's police personnel.
Said Alvarez, "Despite the fact that the Cook County assistant state's attorney told them they didn't have to bring him back, they thought it would be better if they did bring him back to get this all cleared up because the guy keeps writing letters demanding trial," Alvarez said.
"The case was brought, the judge made it clear on the record that that he had no pending case any more in Illinois, in Cook County, and he still had to serve his Indiana time," she added.
Cook County Sheriff's Department spokesman Frank Bilecki says his office had no knowledge of the letters, and that the state's attorney's office signed off on the extradition request.
A three-page form obtained by WBBM Newsradio and CBS 2 bears the signatures of the chief of the state's attorney's criminal division, a second prosecutor and presiding Criminal Court Judge Paul Biebel.
Bilecki said the warrant for Robbins' arrest remains in the sheriff's system — and should have been quashed by the courts when the charges were dismissed in 2007.
Bilecki said the paperwork on Robbins apparently contained no "hold" order so he could be returned to the Indiana State Prison, in Michigan City. Seeing no hold, sheriff's personnel released him, he said.
The extradition forms are clearly marked "subject serving sentence while in state custody or federal custody."
In addition, Judge Rickey Jones, when affirming the 2007 dismissal on Wednesday, said that Robbins still had to serve his Indiana time, Alvarez said.
Sheriff Tom Dart agrees someone in his office made the mistake of letting Robbins go. An investigation is under way into what he indicated was a bureaucratic error.
So far there is no sign of Robbins, a Gary native who was not supposed to go free until 2029 for a murder committed outside a birthday party in Indianapolis in 2002.
Bilecki said detectives are pursuing a number of promising leads. He said that more than 100 officers and agents from the Chicago Police, Cook County Sheriff's Police, Illinois and Indiana State Police, U.S. marshal's office and FBI have been looking for Robbins.
Federal authorities are offering a $10,000 reward to anyone who can offer information leading to Robbins' capture.
Robbins is African-American, 5'5″ in height, weighs 190 pounds and has a distinctive tattoo on the right side of his neck that reads "Nicole."
Bilecki said investigators have spoken with some of Robbins' Chicago-area relatives while the search continues in both states.
"We're casting a pretty wide net over (Cook) County and the outlying Chicago area for anyone we believe he may be trying to contact," Bilecki said.
