With deadlines for summer internship applications nearing, four current Maryville College students have a piece of advice for classmates and friends: Send in your resumes now. Internships are a great way to spend the summer break.
Conducting research, experiments and solving equations firsthand, four Maryville College seniors – Arielle Nivens, '13, Rachel Hutson '13, Sarah McGinnis '13 and Jessica Lyle '13 – were able to complete competitive internships over the summer at the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis, the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, Missouri State University and Miami University.
"We have very good outcomes regarding our math and engineering students getting into these competitive summer internships," said Dr. Maria Siopsis, associate professor of mathematics. "I think that it is a testament to these students and to the mentoring relationships with faculty."
While working alongside other students and professors, the seniors developed research and teamwork skills that could be further applied in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers, as well guidance and insight into their lives after college.
"These experiences are invaluable for our students, whether they go to graduate school or industry," Siopsis said. "They give students the kind of research and teamwork experiences that will be needed to succeed in any STEM career."
Nivens participated in a research experience for undergraduates (REU) at the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS). Eighteen undergraduates participated in the internship, which was held at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.
Nivens and the team worked specifically on a project that developed mathematical models of Salmonella transmission in swine farms. The objective was to better understand the factors that favor both the transmissions and resistance of Salmonella to a multidrug.
"Ultimately, if the characteristics and transmission of Salmonella can be modeled, there is possibility for the eventual reduction in pig farms and eventually down the line to pork production and the food that so many of us eat," Nivens said. "Also, since Salmonella tends to have strong antimicrobial resistance, once a basic model is constructed, extra characteristics can be added to aid eliminating this infectious disease.
Nivens participated in group research daily, as well as lectures in a REU group meeting, where students would attend a lecture or a lunch with other mentors at the institution. Nivens said that the majority of a workday would consist of math coding.
"The best days were when you leave the room for the day and every white board has your handwriting on it," Nivens said.
Nivens said she was proud to represent Maryville College during her internship, and, as one of the few liberal arts students at NIMBioS, she felt more prepared at both presenting and writing.
Siopsis said that Nivens was a perfect candidate for the REU program at NIMBioS, because she had been exploring topics in mathematical biology for her Senior Study.
"When she was accepted into the program, we were able to direct her first semester of Senior Study to give her some background into the work she would be doing in the summer," Siopsis said. "What is even better is that being close to NIMBioS means Arielle is able to continue to work with the faculty there, while still finishing her degree at Maryville College."
(One of the distinctive features of a Maryville education, the Senior Study requirement calls for students to complete a two-semester research and writing project that is guided by a faculty supervisor.)
By studying topics in both mathematics and biology during her internship, Nivens said that NIMBIoS allowed her to leave more knowledgeable about not only mathematics, but also infectious diseases.
"The problem she worked on is a great example of the way mathematics can be applied to problems in other disciplines, to give insight and test hypotheses that would not be easy to do otherwise," Siopsis said.
Hutson interned at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) in Newport News, Va. She worked on applying Kalman Filters, which are used for filtering noise from data, to the Low Level Radiofrequency (LLRF) system for the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator in order to advance the system.
Hutson said her Summer Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) involved researching control systems engineering, which required extensive knowledge in both engineering and electricity and magnetism physics. She said that MC prepared her for the papers and presentations she had to prepare during her time at the internship, and the science classes she took at the College were necessary for succeeding in the research involved in the SULI.
"Rachel is not only intelligent, but she works very hard and is very motivated. During her time at Maryville College, she has taken advantage of every learning opportunity she could. This is why she was able to secure a spot in the SULI at Jefferson Lab," Siopsis said. "Her experience there has propelled her forward in terms of her research interests, so I am excited to see where she lands for graduate school and beyond."
Hutson said that during her internship, she researched control systems engineering and Kalman Filters daily. She took part in presentations for interns on a variety of topics related to the lab and specific research being conducted there. She also worked on a personal project daily, which consisted of modeling and running simple systems on Simulink, a MATLAB driven program.
"There were very few people there from a liberal arts college," Hutson said. "It was nice to be able to contribute to the diversity of the group."
Hutson said that she was challenged by the internship, because the majority of her projects involved upper-level engineering with which she was not familiar.
"It was overwhelming at first, but with all of the help that I received from others, I was able to work through my project and learn what it is like to work in a research setting," Hutson said.
Before her internship, Hutson said that she knew she wanted to go to graduate school, but was not sure what she wanted to do with her education. After she worked in Jefferson Lab over the summer, she found that she wanted to apply her skills within the research field.
"At this internship, I was able to improve on collaboration and the process of research and presenting. I was also able to meet many people in close to the same fields of study as I am, which is great for collaboration," Hutson said. "Also, there is a possibility that the research you do can be built on later, be appealing to graduate schools and also help you decide on some of the things you want to do in life."
McGinnis participated in an undergraduate research program with math professors at Missouri State University in Springfield, Mo. During the time she was there, she investigated a problem linking the theoretical mathematical fields of abstract algebra and graph theory.
"We learned how to write up our results, and we gave a presentation at the end, explaining what we had learned and discovered this summer," McGinnis said. "We were able to share with the rest of the students in the program what we worked on."
McGinnis said that the College prepared her for the internship at the university.
"Starting my Senior Study really helped, because I had the background knowledge necessary to do the research," McGinnis said. "Math research is very challenging. I had not really been exposed to what exactly it entailed, but I felt like I was prepared for the challenge, because MC has challenged me."
Dr. Jennifer Bruce, MC associate professor of mathematics, said that, through this program, McGinnis was able to experience the process of working on a real, unsolved mathematical problem.
"It has helped shape her decisions on the types of graduate programs she's interested in and the type of career she wants to pursue as a mathematician," Bruce said.
The internship at Missouri State University allowed McGinnis to experience what math research was really like, she said, and if it was a career that she would want to pursue, exposing her to math that she had not witnessed before. She hopes that the internship will make her a candidate for graduate programs, where she can pursue research.
"I developed my critical thinking and problem solving skills. I also learned how to learn. Math research is different from sitting in a class and learning the material," McGinnis said. "This summer I really learned and strengthened those critical thinking skills. I was able to come and put those skills into practice with finishing up my Senior Study."
McGinnis said that she would recommend that other math majors complete a summer internship.
"There are so many areas of mathematics," McGinnis said. "Internships allow students to see new areas of mathematics, and they can also see if research is something that they want to do. It has so many benefits for everyone."
Lyle participated in the Summer Undergraduate Mathematical Science Research Institute (SUMSRI) program hosted by the Department of Mathematics at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. According to SUMSRI's website, program administrators sought "talented undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing advanced degrees in the mathematical sciences."
A mathematics major at MC, Lyle was able to study algebra, discrete mathematics and statistics during her time at SUMSRI. She said that the College prepared her for the research program, because she was confident in her presentational skills.
"I had adequate knowledge on the subject matters, and what I did not know I was able to pick up very quickly," Lyle said. "I believe Maryville did a great job stretching my mind and preparing me."
During the first half of the summer program, students in the program attended classes during the day and spent their evenings working on individual research problems. The second half of the summer was devoted entirely to research. Lyle performed a spatial study concerning colorectal cancer mortality that covered every county within the United States. The students presented their findings at the end of the summer.
"The internship helped me to understand more of what I want to do in life and narrow my future career goals," Lyle said. "It was a wonderful and very educational summer. I made many memories and life-long friends."
Bruce said that the program not only introduced Lyle to research projects, but also made her aware of other internship and graduate school opportunities.
"It helped them work on technical writing skills, and it provided funding for the students to attend a national math conference to present their research," Bruce said.
Bruce said that Lyle and other students from her internship had the opportunity to present their research at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Diego, Calif., in January.
Lyle said she would recommend a summer research program like SUMSRI to any student.
"It brings you out of your comfort zone and into an atmosphere to grow and excel," Lyle said.

It's frustrating when you live so far from your family. You feel helpless when something goes wrong or there is a crisis and you can't be there.
My parents live 700km away, by choice, and recently both my parents have been very ill. My mum has acute osteoporosis and has had back surgery as well as emphysema. My dad has recently been diagnosed with emphysema and possible liver disease. They are still awaiting the final blood tests.
I know they shield me from a lot of their illness details and they can do so because I'm so far away. When I phone, they constantly say "I'm fine. Don't worry" but I get frustrated and I do worry. They're isolated and only have each other to rely on.
They also don't seem to question their doctors or their medical aid about what they're entitled to or what their real benefits are. I only want the best care for them and I feel they're not getting it.
I wish I could be there for them in some way. My hands feel totally tied. Not only do my parents have their ill-health to worry about, but their pride gets the best of them. They won't ask for help, they will never ask for assistance, be it money or an extra person to be there when they can't care for one another.
Just feeling discouraged and frustrated and wanted to share....
"To conquer frustration, one must remain intensely focused on the outcome, not the obstacles."

U.S. Women Travel to Chinese Taipei for World Grand Prix

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 1, 2008) – The U.S. Women's National Indoor Volleyball team has won five straight matches and takes a 5-1 FIVB World Grand Prix record into the final preliminary weekend at Taipei, Chinese Taipei July 4-6.
Team USA will face three of the top five teams in the World Grand Prix standings during Pool H play, including two rematches from earlier in the schedule. The U.S. challenges Poland (0-6) on July 4 at 3 p.m. (1 a.m. Mountain Time), less than a week after the Americans swept the Polish squad 25-17, 25-16, 25-20 in Poland on June 29. Team USA plays Turkey (4-2) on July 5 at 3 p.m. (1 a.m. Mountain Time). Turkey defeated the U.S. on the opening day of the World Grand Prix. Team USA concludes the preliminary round versus Italy (5-1) on July 6 at 5 p.m. (3 a.m. Mountain Time). The Italians won the last meeting on Nov. 16, 2007, as both teams squared off for the gold medal on the final day of the 2007 FIVB World Cup in Japan.
The U.S. is in a three-way tie for second place in the 12-team tournament with Italy and Brazil, one loss behind undefeated tournament leaders China. Based on the tiebreaker of points won ratio, the Americans (1.203 points ratio) hold a slim advantage over Brazil (1.191) and Italy (1.117). Turkey is currently ranked fifth in the World Grand Prix standings.
After this weekend's third and final preliminary round weekend, the top five teams will travel to Japan and join the host country in the six-team FIVB World Grand Prix Finals. The round-robin Finals will be played July 9-13 at Yokohoma. The overall ranking in the preliminary round is decided by the total number of World Grand Prix Points (GPP) gained by the teams in the preliminary matches with two points awarded for a win and one point for a loss.
The U.S. has not qualified for the World Grand Prix Final Round since 2004, the last Olympic Games year. The Americans finished third in 2004, followed by eighth place in 2005, seventh place in 2006 and eighth place in 2007. Team USA has won the premier annual event in 1995 and 2001. Brazil has won three of the last four titles, while defending champion Netherlands failed to qualify for this year's World Grand Prix. Italy has medaled in the last four World Grand Prix events with silver medals in 2004 and 2005, and bronze medals in 2006 and 2007. China, the 2008 World Grand Prix leader, finished second last year as it hosted the Finals in Ningbo.
Team USA is sitting in a good position to earn a berth into the World Grand Prix Finals and break the drought of reaching the last stage. Two American victories will guarantee a spot, while one victory in the three matches should garner a bid as well due to the team's already high points won ratio through the first six matches.
U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach "Jenny" Lang Ping has modified her 12-player roster for the Chinese Taipei leg of the World Grand Prix. She has recalled two-time Olympian setter Robyn Ah Mow-Santos (Honolulu) to the team to replace Angie McGinnis (Fraser, Mich.). Ah Mow-Santos has missed the first two weekends of the World Grand Prix, while two-time Olympian Logan Tom missed the opening weekend. Both players were absent in Team USA's loss to Turkey on June 20.
Poland, ranked ninth in the world, has qualified for the 2008 Olympic Games after winning the 2008 World Olympic Qualification Tournament in May. During the 2008 FIVB World Grand Prix, Poland's 0-6 record with a young roster is somewhat deceiving. In addition to its straight-set loss to Team USA on June 29, Poland has dropped four-set matches to Italy and Cuba. Poland's Joanna Kaczor ranks third among all players in scoring during the World Grand Prix. At the 2007 FIVB World Grand Prix, Poland qualified for the Final Round but placed sixth in the round-robin final format of six teams. Team USA is 9-3 versus Poland all-time.
Turkey, which failed to qualify for the 2008 Olympic Games, is on the brink of qualifying for the World Grand Prix Final Round in its first-ever appearance in the annual event. Turkey holds the single victory over the U.S. during the FIVB World Grand Prix in 2008 as the Americans were without Tom and Robyn Ah Mow-Santos. Still, Team USA holds a 5-2 record versus Turkey since 1983, including a four-set victory at the 2006 FIVB World Championships on Nov. 16. Turkey's Seda Tokatlioglu is the World Grand Prix's leading scorer with 117 points, 17 more than the next closest competitor. She had 31 points against the U.S. in the opening match of the tournament.
Italy, ranked second in the world behind Brazil, is tied for second in this year's World Grand Prix despite a tough schedule. Italy swept Cuba during the first weekend along with victories over Poland and Dominican Republic. Last weekend, Italy defeated Japan 3-0, edged Cuba in five sets and lost to China in five sets. Italy's Simona Gioli leads the Best Spiker category at the World Grand Prix with a 61.3 kill percent. The U.S. has lost all three matches to Italy in the current quadrennial, including a three-set loss to the Italians on the final day of the 2007 FIVB World Cup for the gold medal. Overall, Team USA is 25-21 against Italy, but has not won since 2004 during the first meeting of that year's World Grand Prix.
The USA won Pool E at last weekend's stop in Wroclaw, Poland. The U.S. defeated Thailand in four sets, followed by sweeps of NORCECA rival Dominican Republic and host Poland.
Lang Ping elected to stay with a primary lineup the entire weekend, and it resulted in some key outputs. For all three matches, the starting lineup consisted of Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.) and Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.) at middle blocker, Tom and Kim Glass (Lancaster, Pa.) at outside hitter, Tayyiba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.) at opposite, captain Lindsey Berg (Honolulu) at setter and Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) at libero.
Scott-Arruda averaged 3.44 points per set for the three matches last weekend with 21 kills on 25 swings and one error (.800 attack efficiency), eight blocks (0.89 per set) and two aces (0.22 per set). Bown averaged 3.30 points, 2.50 kills and 0.70 blocks per set. The starting middle blocker combined for a .662 attack efficiency and 1.50 blocks per set.
The USA outside hitters were just as effective. Tom averaged a team-leading 4.30 points per set for the weekend with averages of 3.50 kills, 1.90 digs, 0.50 blocks and 0.30 aces per set. She hit .365 during the three victories. Glass chipped in 3.80 points per set, which included an eye-popping 1.00 aces per set highlighted by a six-ace match against Dominican Republic. She also provided 2.10 digs per set and had an excellent service reception on 58.7 percent of her team-leading 63 chances.
Haneef-Park was steady all weekend to compile averages of 3.90 points, 3.50 kill and 0.40 blocks per set. She hit .351 for the three matches with only eight attack errors. Berg led the offense to a sizzling 53.7 kill percent of its 270 attack attempts. Team USA compiled a .419 attack efficiency for the weekend as she averaged 12.1 assists per set. Davis averaged 2.20 digs per set while patrolling the back row defense.
Team USA has several players among the tournament statistical leaders through the first two weekends. Haneef-Park ranks tied for eighth in scoring with 84 points while ranking sixth in the Best Spiker (kill percentage) with a 44.72 percent. She also ranks 17th in blocking with 0.50 per set. Glass has provided a balanced statistical line throughout the tournament. She has scored 76 points for 14th place. Glass ranks second in the Best Server race with 0.50 aces per set, in addition to sixth place in Best Receiver with a 48.00 efficiency. She has a 39.72 kill percent for 16th place in the Best Spiker category and a 1.64 dig average for 10th place in the Best Digger race. Glass has added 0.41 blocks per set for 25th place.
Scott-Arruda has 57 points in the tournament for a tie for 27th place. She also ranks 10th in blocks with 0.64 per set. Tom, despite missing the first three matches of the tournament, still ranks 45th in points with 43. With her per set averages computed based on the team's total sets played, she ranks 24th in aces, 36th in digs and 51st in blocks. Berg is ranked as the fifth-best setter with an 8.77 assist average. Davis ranks sixth in the Best Digger category with 2.09 digs per set.
As Team USA continues to prepare for the 2008 Olympic Games starting Aug. 9 at Beijing, Lang Ping has been using the World Grand Prix to evaluate her players to help make roster decisions for the Olympics. Last weekend, nine of the 12 players started at least one of the three matches. Angie McGinnis (Fraser, Mich.) did not start a match, but played in eight of the 12 sets played as a double-sub. Kristin Richards (Orem, Utah) started the final two sets against Turkey. Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.) entered late in the match against Kazakhstan and tallied two kills on as many attempts.
During the World Grand Prix, Team USA will face an average world ranking of 13.22 during the three-week preliminary rounds. The Americans will face only one team – Italy – ranked among the top seven teams in the current world ranking during the preliminary rounds.

Skip to comments.Reid declines to endorse Feinstein's assault-weapons legislation
Posted on 01/29/2013 1:50:57 PM PST by jazusamo
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Tuesday declined to voice support for Democratic legislation that would ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips.
Reid said he would bring gun-violence legislation to the floor and open it to a lengthy amendment process. But he declined to endorse the assault weapons ban introduced last week by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), which has the support of the 2nd- and 3rd-ranking Senate Democratic leaders.
Shes talked to me about her assault weapons. The new one. She believes in it fervently and I admire her for that. Ill take a look at that, he said in response to a reporter's question. Were going to have votes on all kinds of issues dealing with guns and I think everyone would be well advised to read the legislation before they determine how theyre going to vote [on] it.
Feinsteins bill would ban the sale and manufacture of more than 150 types of semi-automatic weapons, including handguns with fixed magazines capable of holding more than 10 bullets.
Republicans have raised doubts that Reid will even bring gun-control legislation to the Senate floor. Reid helped defeat an effort five years ago to renew the federal assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004.
Reid dispelled the GOP speculation.
He said he has told his colleagues he will do everything in his power to bring legislation dealing with guns and violence, generally, to the floor.
Reid said that Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) has told the Democratic caucus his plans for holding hearings on gun violence.
Leahy has introduced legislation to help prosecutors crack down on straw purchasers of firearms later used in crimes.
The friggin' NRA endorsed the s.o.b., so at least he's staying bought.
Oh sure. Harry thinks that NOW is a good time to start that practice.
This is what they should be doing with each piece of legislation.
Agreed...If they read any gun control bill before voting on it it'll be a first.
Shes talked to me about her assault weapons." - Harry Reid about Dianne Feinstein.
Harry Reid says that Dianne Feinstein has assault weapons! We REALLY need to make hay out of this one!
If Dingy Harry won't endorse it, then it's DOA.
They'll call it a compromise, you see, and demand that we kneel before them.
If Harry is hesitant, then at least a dozen other Democratic senators are feeling the same way. At this point, I don't think the President's machine is able to maneuver as much as it did six months ago.
There are some big importers of Russian-made AK's in Nevada....maybe they got to dear ole Harry and helped persuade him.....
Ammo in military calibers (.223/5.56, .308/7.62x51, 9mm) has VANISHED.
If they started martial law now, a lot of people would be in a world of hurt, quick.
The #1 goal of the Dems, by far, is only to give Dem Senators a chance to vote against Feinstein-type disarmament laws.
To show these Dems are "conservative, mainstream, and bipartisan and moderate" before the next election!
That's their main goal.
Way down their wish-list is passing a bill that seems reasonable to their liberal base in the media and having them beat up Republicans for voting against it. That's just too hard to win at on this issue.
In the last election the NRA did not endorse anyone.
I would counter that some of the older guys are really running out of steam over this fight-the-fight mentality. They can remember easy days back fifteen years ago, and this agenda-White House scheme isn't paying much except constant hassle to perform in front of the camera to explain stupid policies.
"Ammo in military calibers (.223/5.56, .308/7.62x51, 9mm) has VANISHED"
I just got another 100 rounds of 5.56 and 100 rounds of 32 APC and 40 rounds of 38 S&W Special + P from my supplier but the 5.56 and others were at a dear price! It is hard to go and sight in and practice at the prices paid. Each round is now precious.
Reid and the NRA both will endorse legislation to have a more comprehensive background check system.
Yep, money easily persuades Harry.
I just got a new carbine last month and it is so fun to shoot!
Ran 150 rounds through it and had to quit. Ammo is just too scarce. I'm back to a stockpiling mode. Anytime I see ammo for any of our calibers I buy at least one or two boxes. Slowly but surely the inventory is building back up.
I agree, LaPierre has already said he'd go along and we know Dingy Harry will.
Assuming he's not lying, this is good. It's nice to know that the Dems have a point to where public perception and the ballot box makes them blink a bit. Sounds like they may have gotten a dose of reality over their martial law and confiscation wet dreams, especially by county and state govts. Time will tell.
Saw some at the gun show in Tulsa last weekend, at a wildly inflated price, and not in quantities previously available. Difficult to impossible to reliably find on line. Heck, even .22LR and .22 Mag are in short supply, especially bulk pack. Wannamaker's (a BIG gun show) is coming up in April, so we'll have to see what things look like then.
"Ammo in military calibers (.223/5.56, .308/7.62x51, 9mm) has VANISHED."
Not only that, there wasn't a single round of .22 LR available today at my local Gander Mountain, which advertises itself as "Tennessee's largest gun store."
Yep, you make a valid point. I guess the reason I'm skeptical is that he's been in bed with Obama on everything, maybe this will be different.
I understand. I like shooting my weapons and teaching my wife on each one is fun but the price is not! I hope she knows how to handle each one by now, as we are in stock up ammo mode now!
What is a weapon if not designed for assault? We are living in the Age of the Disenlightenment..
In the end, Reid is a coward. She refuses to be true to her party's core beliefs if it will result in her defeat.
Reid wears granny panties.
Reids camp attempted to put the best face on the snub, noting that the campaign has already received a $4,000 donation from the NRA.
The NRAs relationship with Sen. Reid has been long-standing and productive and unlike for Sharron Angle theyve put their money where their mouth is this cycle, said Reid campaign manager Brandon Hall. Along with their financial support, the declaration of NRA head Wayne LaPierre that Sen. Reid is a true champion of the Second Amendment and that no one has been a stronger advocate for responsible gun ownership than him shows beyond a doubt that the NRA believes Sen. Reid to be a strong advocate for Nevadans Second Amendment rights in the U.S. Senate.

Dingy knows which side of the bread has butter on it. He isn't going to bring this POS uncontitutional bill to the floor of the Senate to have it defeated or to force the poor Dem slobs who are up for re-election in 2014 to vote for it and screw their election chances.
"100 rounds of 32 APC"
32 APC.... :P Would that be the only gun mounted on that vehicle..?
I was at a gun show in Rochester NY a few weeks ago. There was a guy selling 200 round battle packs of 7.62x51 for $200. That's a buck a round. Ouch. I should have invested in ammo back when you could get a case of 1000 from the Sportsman's Guide for about $130. This is why I will never be rich. Only my hindsight is 20/20. My financial foresight is closer to Ray Charles.
I'll say it again. The entire gun banning excersize is FAKE. If the liberals can get something to stick, fine. But the main goal is go divide the republican party and then demonize them going into the midterm elections when someone shoots the next Trayvon Martin.
It's a trap. Hussein Obama wants to tighten the noose around our necks even more and he needs to control both houses of congress to do it.
That is the evidence that this is all a ruse and that the point is to paint the Republicans as gun-mongering child killers when some poor innocent soul is gunned down near the mid-term elections. The dems don't care about any damn guns people! EVERTHING is politics to them!!!
Nice lookin piece there.
I like C&R weapons.
It Has a seven round Mag. and my wife likes firing it, she is good. The picture I posted above is a stock picture from a PDF of the history of this Mauser's history. The one we own is in much, much better shape. I have it's original holster and two original magazines. Wish I could find a couple of more Mags. My Father acquired it sometime in WWII and left it to me.

HTC Said to Halt Larger Windows Phone on Display Resolution
HTC Corp. (2498) scrapped plans to produce a large-screen smartphone using Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)'s operating system because the screen would have had lower resolution than competing models, a person familiar with the project said.
The Windows software doesn't support resolutions as high as that on Google Inc. (GOOG)'s Android platform, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the information isn't public.
Chief Executive Officer Peter Chou's decision to halt the project using Windows Phone 8 software leaves HTC with only Android for phones measuring larger than 5 inches diagonally, dealing a blow to Microsoft in its efforts to win share from Google and Apple Inc. (AAPL) Taoyuan, Taiwan-based HTC had planned to introduce the device next year to claw back share from Samsung Electronics Co., which offers Galaxy Note devices with larger screens using Android.
Cheryl Chang, a Taipei-based spokeswoman for Microsoft, the world's biggest software maker, declined to comment. HTC declined to comment in an e-mail.
Windows Phone 8, released in October, supports screen resolution of 720 horizontal lines, lower than the 1,080 lines in displays available on Android phones and tablets. Microsoft also limits which processors can be used with manufacturers' devices.
Google, Apple
HTC concluded that a larger-screen Windows Phone 8 phone wouldn't be competitive against Android devices from HTC, Samsung and others, the person said.
The company's stock rose as much as 1.5 percent, the most since Dec. 12, before trading at NT$277 at 11:44 a.m. in Taipei today, stemming losses this year to 44 percent.
HTC's share of the global smartphone market dropped to 4.6 percent in the third quarter from 10.3 percent a year earlier, as Samsung's lead widened, according to data compiled by Bloomberg Industries. HTC's share of the U.S. handset market fell to 3.6 percent from 11.6 percent, according to the data.
HTC is regaining U.S. market share by offering larger, 5-inch screens and full HD resolution, with its Droid DNA being the first model listed as a flagship product by Verizon Communications Inc. in almost two years, Fubon Financial Holding Co. analyst Jeff Pu wrote in a Nov. 29 report.
Android snared 72 percent of the market in the third quarter, while Apple's iOS software had 14 percent, according to Gartner Inc.
Last month, Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft said it's selling four times as many Windows phones as this time a year earlier, helped by the new version of its software.
HTC's revenue this quarter will be about NT$60 billion ($2.1 billion), the lowest since 2010, the company said Oct. 26. Last month it announced a settlement with Apple, ending patent lawsuits that threatened shipments to the U.S.

Shorty Wetsuit
Shopping Info
The Youth Shorty Wetsuit protects the smaller loved ones in your life from chilly water and cold temperatures. The brightly colored panels make them more visible and easy to keep track of. The suit is made of top quality 2.5-mm terraprene for insulation and abrasion resistance. The closed cell neoprene also supplements the flotation of the child's PFD, floating them higher in the water. Titanium particles are added to the adhesive layer bonding the inner fabric to the neoprene, helping hold in body heat, without adding bulk. Rugged flat-lock stitching in the seams stands up to children's high activity levels. A heavy-duty YKK™ zipper makes entry and exit easy, and the cut lines of the suit provide good freedom of movement.
My kids use these for all their watersports - surfing, kayaking - kiting... This suit is perfect.

quote John234MKWiiBecause Frost isn't Ice, and snow and Ice go together, so I recommend Ice Glacier.
quoteErgo, Frosting is awesome.If a solid surface is chilled below the dew point of the surrounding air and the surface itself is colder than freezing, frost will form on the surface. Frost consists of spicules of ice which grow out from the solid surface. The size of the crystals depends on time, temperature, and the amount of water vapor available. Based on wind direction, "Frost arrows" might form.
quote GotenksIt really does. The biggest thing I liked about NSMB2 was the two new worlds.It's always great when they do give us a new environment. It shows there are still ideas left for the series.
quote VirtueYeah I know, they really needed to add a new one to this game.If only. Glad to see they brought in another new environment though. They really needed it.
quote A PersonMakes more sense put that way. I think as the name stands it doesn't really conjure the image of food to me so much as something covered by frost, and I would call it icing.Dark Arcanine You've never eaten a spoon of frosting while baking?

So far so good
Posted by ThinkingforMyself on Aug 31, 2012
I like the Neocell products. I take Neocell bovine collagen but read about the benefits of fish collagen for the skin, but I did not want a product with shark collagen due to the decimation of sharks, which are a keystone species and will affect life on Earth if we kill them off. Please consider this before you buy shark collagen.
positive effect on skin and joints
Posted by Reviewer2946356 on Dec 04, 2009

Mental evaluation ordered for Colville 11 year old
COLVILLE, Wash - A Colville pre-teen accused of plotting to kill a classmate earlier this year will undergo a mental evaluation before his criminal proceedings continue.
The 11-year-old is one of two pre-teens charged in the plot to kill a fellow 5th grader. Another child already pleaded guilty to the charges and is awaiting sentencing.
In a competency hearing in Stevens County Court Monday, the defense asked for more time in the case so that the child can be evaluated at Eastern State Hospital.Mental evaluation ordered for Colville 11 year old
There was some question as to whether or not ESH has experts that can evaluate a child. The defense says if that's the case, they will look for another psychiatric hospital to do the evaluation.
The 11-year old is due back in court May 13th. The co-defendant is scheduled for sentencing May 7th.

Speaking at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, chief executive officer of Google, said that his company did not have plans to reduce the amount of voice calls, but wanted to create a new definition of phone, which would combine the Internet, voice calls, navigation and other services and would enable Google's further expansion.
"Google benefits from the adoption of broadband everywhere, in mobile networks and in fixed networks," said Eric Schmidt, chief exec of Google, at the congress, reports IDG News Service agency.
Originally a search provider, Google has gradually transformed itself into one of the world's top Internet-based services provider for businesses and consumers as well as one of the largest advertising companies. At present the company is expanding into operating systems for personal computers along with mobile phones and its progress is not going to stop there, it seems. Quite naturally, cell network operators have reasons to believe that as Google expands its services, people start to make fewer voice calls and communicate using the Internet, which would transform operators into large "data pipes". Nonetheless, Google has no intention to "steal" anything from operators, the company claims.
"It's not our objective to steal your minutes," said Google's CEO, reports Reuters news-agency.
According to the head of the leading search engine, it is important that operators would continue to invest into infrastructure, whereas Google would provide powerful services that would motivate end-users to utilize new technologies.
"We need them to go ahead and invest these enormous amounts of money at great risk and, in return, they need us to continue to build powerful new reasons to upgrade the connections and get a new phone. […] We are not going to be investing in broad-scale infrastructure. It's a very tough business and it's not one for which we are very well optimized," Mr. Schmidt is reported to have said.
Unsurprisingly, for Google it is important to have a piece of itself in everyone's transaction in order to further boost its revenues and brand awareness.
"We want to have a little bit of Google in everybody's transaction with the Internet," said the chief executive officer of Google.

How lowering my yoga expectations is bringing me to higher consciousness (and better flexibility!).
When I first heard the term �fitness snacking,� I admit rolling my eyes just a teensy bit. Another attempt, I thought, to make a somewhat boring and, to some, distasteful concept more palatable by giving it a cutesy name. Used to describe taking short bursts of activity throughout the day, �fitness snacking� was proclaimed by some to be one of the top trends in the health world in 2012. But is it a legitimate�thing?

Topic: Problem installing Rails in OSX
First of all, I'm doing this on a dialup connection.
Secondly, I've done this flawlessly on Windows XP multiple times
I'm using this tutorial:
http://hivelogic.com/narrative/articles -mysql-osx
When I get to the step to install Rails through gems I type in Terminal:
sudo gem install rails --include-dependencies
after it takes awhile going out to update off of gems.rubyforge.something it comes back and says that it cannot find a gem called rails on any repository.
It does this every time.
I've tried manually downloading the rails-1.2.3.gem file and installing off that but then I don't get the dependencies, and the very first one it tells me to install (application-something) installs fine as version 1.4.2, but then when I try to install rails again it tells me it needs that same application-something gem but this time version 1.15.3 instead...
anyone ever had these problems?
could it have anything to do with me doing this over dialup?

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Delivering science and technology to protect our nation and promote world stability
Lab shatters records in first year of accelerated shipping effort
Los Alamos National Laboratory set a record for transuranic waste shipments from the Lab to permanent disposal facilities.
October 3, 2012
- Colleen Curran
- Communications Office
- (505) 664-0344, (505) 695-6167
"Our goal this fiscal year was to send 184 shipments to WIPP," said Lee Bishop, TRU waste manager at the U.S. DOE's NNSA Los Alamos Site Office, "and we finished the fiscal year in September with 230 shipments, surpassing Los Alamos' all-time record by nearly 60 shipments."
Los Alamos National Laboratory shatters records in first year of accelerated shipping effort
Volume, Number of Shipments Surpass Goals
LOS ALAMOS, NEW MEXICO, October 3, 2012—In the first year of an effort to accelerate shipments of transuranic (TRU) waste to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), Los Alamos National Laboratory shattered its own record with 59 more shipments than planned, and became one of the largest shippers of this type of nuclear waste in the country.
"Our goal this fiscal year was to send 184 shipments to WIPP," said Lee Bishop, TRU waste manager at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration Los Alamos Site Office, "and we finished the fiscal year in September with 230 shipments, surpassing Los Alamos' all-time record by nearly 60 shipments."
Los Alamos' previous record was 171 shipments, set last year.
In an agreement between the New Mexico Environment Department and the Department of Energy, Los Alamos has committed to removing 3,706 cubic meters of TRU waste stored above ground by June 30, 2014.
The Laboratory removed 916 cubic meters of waste from its stored inventory this year, more than its goal of 800 cubic meters. It plans to more than double that effort during fiscal year 2013, which begins October 1, with a goal of shipping 1,800 cubic meters by the end of the fiscal year on September 30, 2013. The final 1,106 cubic meters will be shipped by June 30, 2014.
"We plan to build on the success of our first year and more than double the amount of waste that we ship in 2013," said Dan Cox, deputy associate director of environmental programs at Los Alamos.
"A lot of people have worked together to make the first year of this effort a success, including the state, the Department of Energy, WIPP and the Laboratory," said Pete Maggiore, assistant manager for environmental operations at the NNSA Los Alamos Site Office. "We exceeded our goals and are on track to double both volume and shipments this coming year."
What is transuranic, or TRU, waste?TRU waste consists of clothing, tools, rags, debris, soil and other items contaminated with radioactive material, mostly plutonium. Transuranic elements such as plutonium have an atomic number greater than uranium, so they are labeled transuranic, for "beyond uranium" on the periodic table of elements.
About 90 percent of the current TRU waste inventory is a result of decades of nuclear research and weapons production at the Laboratory. It is often referred to as "legacy" waste.
About the Waste Isolation Pilot PlantThe DOE Waste Isolation Plant facility is designed to safely isolate defense-generated TRU waste from people and the environment. Waste temporarily stored at sites around the country is shipped to WIPP and permanently disposed in rooms mined out of an ancient salt formation 2,150 feet below the surface. WIPP began waste disposal operations in 1999. The facility is located 26 miles outside of Carlsbad, N.M.
About Los Alamos National Laboratory
Los Alamos National Laboratory, a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in strategic science on behalf of national security, is operated by Los Alamos National Security, LLC, a team composed of Bechtel National, the University of California, BWXT Government Group, and URS, an AECOM company, for the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration.
Los Alamos enhances national security by ensuring the safety and reliability of the U.S. nuclear stockpile, developing technologies to reduce threats from weapons of mass destruction, and solving problems related to energy, environment, infrastructure, health, and global security concerns.

I'm wondering if some of the posters here are familiar with this form of Puerh that seems to be getting more popular with the Chinese. I was given some samples of both raw and cooked Tea Essence. The photos show the packaging and the Tea Essence itself. Searching google, I found some sites featuring different brands but all describe a very scientific process of extraction that seems to get all of the beneficial elements of the tea leaves.
At first, I thought it might be some kind of instant tea that restaurants sometimes serve, but this is not the case. Pouring boiling water into a vessel slowly melts the pellet into a thick, syrupy blob that ultimately dissolves in the water. After drinking, we could feel sensations in the forehead and stomach.
Can someone tell me what Houde means? It appears on both the raw and cooked samples. Other packages said wenchun. I couldn't find translations for either of these words on Babelcarp or other dictionaries.

Topic: Complex Wizard Style Form
Hi, I have read a few threads on here on wizard style interfaces.
I think the best way is to use javascript to make sections of a form appear and disappear like steps as this makes the model a lot easier to create using Rails.
Is the best way to do this using jQuery? Or is it possible with just the in-built libraries? I'm a bit stuck on the implementation.
Also, I would like once a field on step 1 is completed for to lookup a database table in Rails and display the results if there are any as part of step 2 on the form/wizard. Can anyone help me with this? I'm guessing it's a kind of AJAX thing but I'm pretty hopeless with that in Rails.

Thank the gods for Slysoft
Blu-ray discs (BDs) are well known to be more fragile than traditional DVDs and many end-users demanded to have an option to create back-up copies of their movies because of that. Starting the 4th of December '09, publishers releasing their movies on Blu-ray discs will be required to offer consumers a managed copy option that enables consumers to create backups of their BDs. Unfortunately for end-users, studios will be able to charge for additional copies.
The Advanced Access Content System License Administrator, a consortium of studios, hardware manufacturers and technology companies that licenses the AACS copy protection used on BD, have approved the managed copy agreement, reports Video Business web-site. The decision will require content makers to include managed copy option onto BDs released after December 4, 2009 and promote the feature after March 31, 2010.
The managed copy function will work the following way: each Blu-ray disc menu will include a "managed copy" option, which will request authorization for making a copy of the disc via the Internet from a special server. Each disc will carry its own serial number, hence, the content owner will be able to specify the amount of managed copies rather easily virtually for each disc. Considering the fact that burning individual serial numbers costs additional money, studios will be able to charge for those backups and offer more than one copy.
Since typical Blu-ray disc players naturally cannot burn BDs and do not include hard drive for images of discs, initially the managed copy option will only work on personal computers. Considering the fact that there is software that removes all possible copyright protection technologies, advanced end-users will hardly consider managed copy function valuable or pay for additional copies. However, less experienced consumers are likely to appreciate ability to make a legal copy even for a fee.

The cinnamon roll quest protein bar is by far one of the tastiest protein bars ever. If your looking for a sweet treat and don't want to destroy your gains by eating icecream and cake, then look no further. The cinnamon roll protein bar tastes just like a desert! Open up 2 of the protein bars and pop them in the microwave for 10 to 20 seconds depending on how powerful your microwave is, take them out, spread on some walden farms calorie free chocolate syrup and you got yourself a cake like desert that is hot and moist that in my opinion is even better than icecream and cake
Posted by 5004906748619910317 on May 13, 2013
Texture is like of a dough (perfect!). It's sweet, it's like there's sugar because it's somehow so crunchy. Nutritional values are perfect and the ingredients are natural. I can only recommend this one!

This Type of Text Could Unknowingly Be Costing You Big Bucks
By Eric Reed
NEW YORK (MainStreet)--FREE MSG FROM MAINSTREET!!!!! You have been chosen to test & keep a BRAND NEW iPad for free only today!!
You WON! Go to www.mainstreet.com to claim your free $1,000 gift card RIGHT NOW!
If you've received messages like this, or one of many others, you may have been targeted by the latest ring of text message scammers to get shut down by the FTC.
Last Monday the Federal Trade Commission filed a complaint against a network of scam artists working through messages just like the ones above, although without the friendly MainStreet label to make your day. According to Steve Wernikoff, an attorney with the FTC who signed the complaint, the scam artists sent out tens of millions of text messages similar to the ones above, all offering free gift cards or prizes for costumers willing to visit their websites. However it never turned out to be that easy.
Then the robo-calls started.
"We've alleged that these companies ran websites where consumers were fooled into providing their personal information," Wernikoff said. "That information was later shared with third parties, and the consumers weren't provided with clear or conspicuous notices of what was happening."
Once in the system, the victims were told that they needed to jump through multiple hoops in order to get their prizes. The websites demanded intensely personal information including names, addresses, credit scores and even health data as a part of the process required to qualify for the allegedly free prize. The defendants, according to FTC filings, then collected this data, sold it to third parties and used it themselves for mass-marketing purposes, most notably in bombarding consumers with robo-calls related to home security, satellite television and travel services.
After consumers entered their personal information they were also asked to participate in a series of offers, once again necessary in order to qualify for the increasingly elusive prize. According to Wernikoff this often included over a dozen "special offers," most of which required either an up front payment or created a series of hidden subscriptions with ongoing fees.
In virtually all cases it would have been impossible for the consumers to receive the allegedly free products without spending any money, had there actually been any prizes in the first place.

African-based CSMI introduces short courses for professionals
4 July 2012 - Johannesburg: Much headway has been made on the African continent in the practice of safety, health, environment, and quality management (SHEQ). For many, however, formal education is still lacking in the areas that are fundamental to sustainable development, with local practitioners not having access to the requisite specialized tertiary education.
Says May Hermanus, director of the Centre for Sustainability in Mining and Industry (CSMI): 'In response to specific requests and requirements, the CSMI is addressing that need by way of a number of short courses and workshops. In addition to the usual beneficiaries of training at the CSMI, occasional students can now also take the centre's short courses leading to a certificate of competence (CoC) or a certificate of attendance. Students may also apply for CPD points.'
Based at the School of Mining Engineering at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits), the CSMI will be conducting four short courses in the coming months, namely Sustainable Development in Mining and Industry (13-17 August 2012), Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Occupational Health and Hygiene for Non-Specialists (3-7 September 2012), and Safety and Health Leadership and Human Factors (1-5 October 2012).
'These courses will provide recognized and accredited training programmes and an education leading to recognized academic qualifications for professionals wishing to pursue or further their careers in the SHEC fields in the private sector, industry, government, or non-governmental organizations,' says Hermanus.
Since its inception in 2004, the CSMI has garnered recognition as a centre of excellence on the African continent for the training and education of managers, practitioners, and regulators in sustainable development.
The establishment of the CMSI originated from a partnership formed by BHP Billiton, Lonmin, and Gold Fields with the Wits School of Mining Engineering in response to an urgent need to increase the standards of safety within the mining industry.
Since then, other partners have supported the work of the CMSI as donors - in the case of AngloGold Ashanti, Goba and Xstrata - and as patrons of major projects in the case of the Department of Mineral Resources, Mining
Qualifications Authority, Anglo American, CoalTech 2020, the World Bank, and the Asbestos Relief Trust. BHP Billiton is currently the principal donor.
Following the development of four courses at graduate level with specific support from BHP Billiton during the period 2007-2008, the centre today offers nine courses at the Master of Science level dealing with OHS risk management, OHS leadership and human factors, occupational health and hygiene for non-specialists, SHEC systems, environmental impact assessment, mining and the environment, and geographical information systems.
In addition, the CSMI presents an accredited short course on safety risk management for Anglo American, and with support of the Department of Mineral Resources and the Mining Qualifications Authority, has developed and piloted eight short accredited courses for the Mine Health and Safety Inspectorate and the Environmental Inspectorate.
