We loved our stay in the apartment of Charles. Our expectations were high, but no disappointments. It's a small apartment, but we felt immediately at home. The environment is great, we felt like Paris citizens.
We will come back, hopefully with sunshine, because now we had three days rain, rain and rain! Charles is cool, friendly, relaxed, a good host!

Company's strategy is to manufacture tires in the country where they will be sold whenever possible. In fact, the vast majority of their products sold in North America, are built in the 21 plants they have across the United States, Canada and Mexico, employing most of the 23,000 employees of Michelin North America, Inc. However, BFGoodrich is an international company, with manufacturing operations at 74 plants across 19 countries around the world. To meet the needs of customers by providing more specialized tire lines in smaller quantities, they import some tire lines into North America and export others from North America.
The Goodrich Corporation, formerly the B.F. Goodrich Company, was an American aerospace manufacturing company based in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was founded in Akron, Ohio in 1870 as Goodrich, Tew & Co. by Dr. Benjamin Franklin Goodrich. The company name was changed to the "B.F. Goodrich Company" in 1880, to BFGoodrich in the 1980s, and to "Goodrich Corporation" in 2001. In 1869, Benjamin Franklin Goodrich purchased the Hudson River Rubber Company, a small business in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York. The following year, Goodrich accepted an offer of $13,600 from the citizens of Akron, Ohio, to relocate his business there. The company grew to be one of the largest tire and rubber manufacturers in the world, helped in part by the 1986 merger with Uniroyal (formerly the United States Rubber Company). This product line was sold to Michelin in 1988, and the company merged with Rohr (1997), Coltec Industries, and TRW Aeronautical Systems (formerly Lucas Aerospace) in 2002. The sale of the specialty chemicals division and subsequent change to the current name completed the transformation.

Distillate Stocks Are Important Part of Northeast Winter Supply
Previous slide
Next slide
Back to first slide
View graphic version
Why do stocks matter in the Northeast?
Stocks are normally an important part of PADD 1 winter distillate supply. Over the last 5 years, PADD 1 stocks provided about 15% of supply during the peak winter months of January and February. One of the biggest stock draws occurred in January 1994, when a prolonged severe cold spell required 666 thousand barrels per day of stocks, covering almost 36% of demand for that month.
Percentages do not tell the whole story. Stocks supply close to 300 thousand barrels per day on average in January and a little less in February. That 300 thousand barrels per day represents a draw of 9 million barrels in one month. Early-February stock levels of less than 28 million barrels were almost at the minimum level ever seen in PADD 1. There was little if any inventory left above minimum working levels in PADD 1 to draw down.
While other regions had low stocks and cold weather, the Northeast saw the unusual heating oil and diesel price surges as a result of:
Its being the largest regional market in the country for heating oil, representing about two thirds of total U.S. heating oil used during the peak winter demand months;
Its heavy reliance on stocks during the peak winter demand months;
Its reliance on waterborne supply that can be affected by cold weather; and
Its large, short-term swings in demand coming from the large utility and interruptible gas consumers jumping into the heating oil market, on top of the increase in demand from home heating oil customers.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I would actually like to use the soft water because then I do not have to go outside in the winter to get the water from an outside tap. That is why I am trying to figure out if it will be OK to use it.
I am already dosing with flourish.....
I can't really help with the water softener, although the resulting GH and KH looks weird to me. I heard that using potassium instead of sodium would be a great advantage if you use the softened water. Personally I think the resulting water could be very unbalanced.
Anyway, the problems with your plants could be signs of nutrient deficiencies. You have good lighting (not sure how good your reflectors are...) so that part is creating a lot of --potential -- growth. I would wait with dosing phosphorus and nitrate, and first think about Iron and Trace elements (I use Seachem products for that... pretty simple), and Potassium. Ideally you would start to dose one thing, and observe maybe two weeks to see if there is a difference, then start with the next, etc. If you start dosing EVERYTHING at once and you get problems, you don't know what it's caused by.
If that works, your plants will grow better and algae will start to go away.
You might want to ponder about CO2... with hard water you will get excellent results, most if not all plants will grow faster, bigger and greener almost immediately. If you think about switching to softened water to improve plant growth think again and consider adding some CO2 instead.
Your water is quite hard, but I don't think this is a problem. I don't think using the softened water would help or hurt necessarily.
As I understand it potassium is generally not tested for. I just dose my water I'm changing anyway.
You should be able to buy a phosphate test kit at any good fish store, If you are dosing phosphate it is a necessity.
What fertalizers are you using? You should at least give it a little Flourish every week or so. Your plants will starve if you don't give them the nutrients they need.
Started my tank about 5 months ago. I have two issues/questions:
1) I currently have water from my outside tap in the tank. Should I switch to using water from my indoor tap (which runs through a water softner). It is a sodium type tank. I could use Potassium instead.
2) I have black spotty algae on plants/rocks. I have lots of bright green spotty algae on glass. Plants also have some rusty/white large scarred areas and curled leaves. Some of the plants are still growing quite a bit though.
Here are my specs:
Tank: 65 Gallon; lit with 160 watts (4 40Watt Coralife PlantGrow Tubes about 11 horus a day). Temperature: 78; Filtered through carbon filter; just a few plants for now; neons, tetras; some algae eaters; orange livebearers in the molly family (can't recall their name).
The water in my tank currently tests at:
Ammonia: 0
Nitrate: 5-10 ppm (closer to 5)
Nitrite: 0
I haven't been able to test for Potassium or Phosphorus yet. All the stores around here keep telling me it is not necessary so they do not stock the tests.
I do not add CO2.
The Hardness of the water that runs through my water softener, which I a thinking about switching to, is GH 17.9; KH 232.70.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I need to get this under control so I can start having fun and really plant up my tank!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LiverKick.com Interviews Mousid Akhamrane @mousidgym
- Written by Dave Walsh
Last week we posted our exclusive interview with Youness El Mhassani, and at the same time we spoke with his trainer Mousid Akhamrane. Mousid is a truly interesting character in the realm of Dutch Kickboxing, being a long-time trainer and inspiration to those around him, he has finally begun to really make a bigger impact on the international scene with the breakout of Mosab Amrani over the past year. Please note that this interview was conducted on November 1st, so in relation to the It's Showtime event in December it had yet to be called off.
Liverkick: Thanks for taking the time to talk to us, go ahead and introduce yourself for those who aren't familiar.
Mousid: I'am Mousid Akhamrane former Dutch, European and World champion. In my fighting career i had 83 fights and i won 72 of those fights. From 6 of my 11 losses i took revanche and won the second fight. After winning those 12 titles, there was no fighting spirit anymore, but i wanted to help the youth and i started my own gym in 1989. Since that day i put all of my energy in the gym and i think we do well.
Liverkick: What were your thoughts on the recent Thai Fight Extreme card that you had fighters participating in?
Mousid: It was already sometime ago but it was a great event, we had a good time over there and i have mixed feelings about the results. Of course i'm happy with the win from Mosab, i looked back his match against Ibrahim Chiahou and at the end it was a fair result and Mosab deserve the win. That night we had also Hafid El Boustati fighting against Mickael Piscitello and in my opinion Hafid didn't get enough in this match.
The first round was for Mickael but the second en third round Hafid was making the fight, he delivered & launded heavy punches and was dominating the fight, the only thing Mickael did was running away and searching the clinch, for the jury enough to get the victory. I'am still disappointed about it, maybe it was like this. The winner of this match should fight Buakaw and it is better for him to fight Michael instead of Hafid. Hafid is a dangerous fighter because he is powerful and quite complete, so there is always a change that he is gonna knock you out with one punch. I am still searching one the internet to find this match but i cannot find it. All the other fights you can find back except this fight what is strange for me. But Hafid showed the people in Thailand that he is capable to fight the best and the crowd enjoyed his fight. There will be one day that Hafid will meet Buakaw inside the ring.
Anyway at the end we had a very good time over there and none of the fighters get injured, both Hafid & Mosab are back in training again.
Liverkick: Mosab is fighting for Thai Fight again soon, how are his preparations going for that?
Mousid: Mosab is doing well, trained hard today and i give him "2 days off" after the training this morning. I don't want to see him in the dojo, he needs to rest. He trains very hard, is injury free, and he is looking very eager, day by day he is getting sharper. As a trainer i do do a lot of padswork and i see/feel that Mosab is hungry.
On the other hand it is sad that the event is replaced three times, but if you see the circumstances over there, there is a possibility that the event will be moved again, i hope the circumstances will change very soon for the people in Thailand.
For this reason we had to change the trainings schedule from Mosab overall i'am very satisfied about the preparation so far. This gonna be a match many fans have been waiting for so long. A fight between two of the best Europian fighters, fighting in Bangkok for the Final of the Thai Fight event.
18 December Mosab will fight for the It's Showtime worldtitle against Denis Schneidmiller. Hafid will fight also at this It's Showtime event against a former student from me Khalid Bourdif, i'am sure that this gonna be a awesome fight for sure.
Liverkick: Mosab vs. Fabio is kind of a clash between two well known gyms, what do you know about Team NAS-R.K.
Mousid: Thank you for the compliment, it is true that Team NAS-R.K. is a very good gym. head-coach Nasser Kacem is an old fighter himself, former French champion. His understanding is very good, he got a good view and he delivers the best fighters in French. I know they train a lot in Thailand, they have also a trainer from Thailand. The fighters from Team NAS-R.K. also fights in Thailand. But i don't see it like a competition between two gyms.
Liverkick: How about the rest of your fighters, do any have an upcoming fights?
Mousid: Yes i have a very busy schedule right now, for example Ilyasse & Rachid will fight in South America - La Réunion. We have to leave 7 November, about 12 hours flight from Amsterdam. Than we have Hicham fighting in the finale of the Taftnet cup, so we are busy as usual.
Liverkick: I've heard that your gym has moved before and has moved again somewhat recently, do you think this time is for good?
Mousid: Again you are right, during the summer we made another move, but this time we stay here and day by day the gym is getting better and better. This gym is smaller but there are better facilities and it is also located in Amsterdam East. We work hard to get everything ready before the end of the year. This gym gives us new opportunities and it feels already like home again.
Liverkick: We've heard that you have also added a high level boxing instructor at Mousid Gym, care to elaborate?
tMousid: We have Martin Jansen for this, Martin works individual with the fighters and besides that he gives lessons. Right now Martin is very busy with the Belgium/Italian boxer Ermano Fegatilli. Ermano will defend his EBU boxing title soon. Martin already proofed himself as a toptrainer and for example he is also the boxing trainer from Nick Frese. We also work with K1 fighters or MMA fighters they come over on a regular base to train at Mousid Gym i cannot tell the names of those fighters but believe me they are very well know. And of course we have other gyms that come over to train here. Actually right now we have a couple of Spanish fighters over to train. They prepare them self for the upcoming It's Showtime event at the Canary Islands. In the 60 till 76 kg class, we have so many great fighters that those gyms decide to come over, because the high level of opponents in our gym.
Liverkick: We also spoke with Youness a bit for the site, and have been talking to him a bit lately and his frustrations with getting fights, what can you tell me about Youness?
Mousid: Yes Youness El Mhassani is a very talented fighter, he was about 16 years when he enters the gym for the first time and he never went away. As a fighter he is very dangerous because you never know what he is gonna do, he is incalculable and that makes him a danger fighter for everybody. Youness is complete, he know how to use his legs, arms and has very good reflexes. It is a pity that he doesn't get the fights he deserve, last week he got the offer to fight Simon Marcus at TheMPL, but this was above Youness his weight, he fight from 72.5 till 77.5 kg. Youness is good enough to fight with the top of the world, and i hope next year he will get the change to show the world his skills. I'am sure you gonna enjoy his fights.
Liverkick: Thank you very much, Mousid, we appreciate you taking this time with us.
I hope to see you once in our gym and follow our gym on twitter: @mousidgym or Mosab "The Jaguar" Amrani: @mosabjaguar

Cisco Certified Refurbished Equipment: A selling strategy worth visiting
A friend was showing off her new tablet, and I was impressed to hear how much 'bang for her buck' she'd got – it's top spec, light as a feather, looks stunning and it didn't mean re-mortgaging her home!
Then she came clean… it was bought as a refurbished model, direct from the manufacturer. In the next breath she said, "It even looks brand new and fresh out of the box!" as if not buying brand new had to be justified.
All of which got me thinking – why is it there still such stigma attached to buying 'second-hand'? This is particularly true of electronic products, even when they are just like new and have never been out of the packaging, or are simply ex-display models or surplus stock. It defies logic, especially when you consider the amount of electronic waste the world increasingly generates. Conservative estimates run at 20 million metric tons of waste per year and 85 per cent of computers still end up in landfill.*
At Cisco, we have a positive story to tell about these products and the benefits for partners and their customers across MEAR.
As their official title suggests – Cisco Certified Refurbished Equipment – these items are fully remanufactured to like-new condition (many are even unused), and they come with the same license, warranty and service support options as new products. It's great value, enabling customers to obtain the technology they need.
The Cisco secondary market represents a massive opportunity (estimated at $1–3 billion) for our partners across MEAR. First, see it as a potential deal-clincher for any customer who has come to expect top performance, reliable service with maximum flexibility. By solving customers' challenging procurement requirements, and being a source for both new and remarketed products, our partners are finding themselves in a better position to offer additional solutions and capture new business.
Secondly, Cisco certified remarketed equipment helps partners to increase their value to customers and drive new sales.
In the long term, remarketed products serve to protect customer's interests. Last but not least, buying used helps customers to meet environmental targets for recycling.
And if these aren't compelling enough reasons to blend both remarketed and new products in your deals, consider the alternative for your customers who may be tempted to buy from unauthorized sources, from vendors who might be selling products that are untested, minimally tested, or refurbished to varying quality standards with the risk of buying without a warranty or valid software licenses.
Cisco Certified Refurbished Equipment program is open to all authorized partners. It only takes a few moments to sign up here and you can immediately browse through the thousands of products currently available.
Contact Mo Sabri firstname.lastname@example.com or your Account Manager to discuss requirements in the Emerging Theatre or visit the Cisco remarketing site for more information.

This is such a great site! Thanks so much for all the info as my brain has been like a sponge.
My family is really wanting to get into beekeeping and so far this place has been a great resource. We were going to start this year but feel we need a lot more information and learning before we commit to our little hymenoptera friends.
What would we like to get out of beekeeping? Pretty much the enjoyment of bees and also get a little honey now and again. We don't plan on 'going big' or anything, just something for the backyard.
If anyone is ever near Northern Colorado, say hi.

Prescribed burns watched; new ones planned
Lava Cast Forest road, trail closed through weekend
BEND, Ore. - All prescribed fires that were implemented this past week across Central Oregon are being monitored and patrolled and likely will produce smoke through the weekend and into next week, officials said Saturday.
Due to visibility concerns in the Lava Cast Forest, the Hoffman Island Trail and FS Road 9720 will remain closed between FS Road 800 and FS Road 9710 in the Lava Cast Forest through the weekend, Saturday's update from the Central Oregon Fire Management Service said.
As conditions allow, next week or the following, fuels specialists expect to burn approximately 22 acres two miles north of Clarno near the Clarno Bridge and five acres adjacent to the Mitchell ODOT station to provide winter forage for deer and elk.
Fuels in these units are light, so operations are expected to have a short duration. Operations near Clarno will be visible from Highway 218 and operations near the Mitchell ODOT station will be visible from Highway 26; there may be some short duration smoke impacts to these Highways.

My first classes were with a program working with inner city adolescent convicts being released back into society. I would teach photography as a form of art therapy for the kids to express themselves while transiting in this program. My second class was working with troubled youth at a local high school, once again using photography as art therapy. From there I established myself at Lesley teaching pre-college classes. I live in Jamaica Plain with my dog Kid and cat Mishka.Teaching Philosophy: To help bring knowledge and experience in an art form that is shaping the world we live in to a younger generation. The formality and intimacy of creating a photograph is being lost due to the ongoing use of phones and social media. My goal is to help students learn and experience the tradition of photography. Both creating a hand made print and learning to visually construct and develop a conceptually and technically well put together photo. Also, understanding that not only is photography a career option and life opportunity but is a wonderful way of self expression.
In May I will be working with MIT students at the Gavin Foundation for an alternative spring break that consists of the students working with a non-profit and the local community of Southie. The kids will be using photography to tell their story over the course of 7 days and the work they will be doing with the community. My event company, Hat Trick Photography, recently became the official photographers for the Lenny Zakim Fund.

Bryan is currently a candidate for a master's degree in counseling psychology at Lesley University where is a graduate level teaching and research assistant.Teaching Philosophy: When I was a beginning art student, Nathan Goldstein once told me to "forget what you think you know. Draw what you see." With his words in mind as I teach, my approach challenges students to reject their preconceived ideas about making art and encourages them to work in the present moment by focusing on the piece in front of them and nothing else. I believe that students need to be most concerned with how the work develops, not how "good" or "bad" it looks. This way of working forces decision making that are best for that particular image, instead of trying to make the piece reach a predetermined end. I also hope to create a safe atmosphere in which I can challenge students to contemplate the similarity between creating a work of art and the way he or she may go through daily life, specifically comparing their process of problem solving visually to a real life difficult situation.

My Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Philosophy:My art training focused primarily on drafting, illustration and painting, but my passion has always been graphic novels. While I am competent working digitally and can mentor students interested in an introduction to working digitally, the class is primarily taught "analog"; focusing on the graphic design tools used to produce graphic novels hand made before computers became the norm. Lesson plans are adapted from exercises designed by golden age cartoonists like Wally Wood and Will Eisner, such as Wally Wood's "22 Panels that always work" or Will Eisner's "Advanced Story Structure in Graphic Narration". The goal at the end of 1 month is the student will walk off having produced 5-10 pages of absolutely fantastic sequential art in full color. My job is to instill a confidence balanced with the teachings of time management to help the student achieve this ambitious goal.
Nubia Williams is a Parsons the New School for Design graduate with a BFA in Fashion Design. Being the daughter of a visual artist and an academic, she grew up surrounded by colorful, textured, inspiring images and histories that had her experimenting with different media as soon as she could control a paint brush. Nubia is a colorist with an aesthetic that features architecture and cultural diversity. Trained in various art fields such as visual arts, dance, theater, and music, her design inspiration comes from multiple sources. Traveling to numerous countries around the world exposed her to diverse cultures, which enriched her artistic perspective and influenced her color palette, printmaking, and fabric treatments. Industry professionals, instructors, and classmates who reviewed her thesis collection all assessed Nubia's work as being very distinctive.
Nubia has worked collaboratively with other artists and designers since the age of 8, showing her artwork at the Pan African Film Festival and African Marketplace in Los Angeles. While in high school, she designed and modeled for the American Heart Association's "Go Red" fashion shows, raising awareness for women's heart health. Nubia has also worked on a community service project intended to ignite the creative spark in low-income, inner-city youth in New Haven, Connecticut. Serving as the Fashion Illustration Instructor, Entertainment Director, and Teen Volunteer Coordinator for the Dixwell Children's Art Festival, she helped youth from the community discover career paths through the arts. She is currently teaching young aspiring fashion designers while designing for clientele.

After waiting inpatience like a child to the Ultra Breeze suit
i ordered, it finally arrived and i used it yesterday for
the first time.
From my first impression and first use i just have
warm words to say about the suite - easy to wear,
great eye sight through the veil, excelent zippers, great ventilation
to all the body (wonderfull in my desert climate).
I will be happy to know from beekeepers that are familiar with this suit:
First, if the external fabric net is not too gentle and could be torn
easily with normal beekeeping work like lifting and attaching supers
to the suite, putting the hive tool in his pocket, seating on the ground
to take off the suit, etc...?
Second, Does bees can sting through the little suit squars - pressing their stings to the external net through the inner net ?. It seems that when a bee will press the sting through the nets, they will have thiner layer then regular bee suit fabric and no problem to penetrate.
I am asking these question because i became allergic to bee venom,
doing desensitization treatments now for 3 month allready
and want to be sure as much as i can if this suite really
protect me better then others.
Thanks alot,

Recently I got an e-mail from Gudrun from Kitchen Gadget Girl, who I'd met in San Francisco in 2008 when I was attending the BlogHer Conference. She told me she was going to try Bobbi's Egg and Green Chile Breakfast Casserole to surprise her husband who loves green chiles, and when I looked at the recipe I realized it didn't have a single photo, and there were no comments either. Such a shame, and I'm slowly updating recipes from my archives, so I decided I had to make this myself so I could take photos and update it.
(Bobbi's Egg and Green Chile Breakfast Casserole was updated with photo sin May 2009.)

Man, you got all the toyz!
BTW, you mentioned in the vid you didn't know what the little rod above the bbl was for. Same purpose as the "Stacking Swivel" on a Garand. To keep the action out of the mud and to keep your rifle handy when you set it down, 3 rifles were stacked in a tripod pattern. On the Garand the swivels were linked together, on the MP/STg they used those rods the same way. I would assume they are all bent because at some point Ivan jumped out of the bushes with a PPsH squirting lead and the German soldiers were not very gentle when yanking the stack of rifles apart!.

Town Square
After 2 decades of helping local military families, Chris Miller is stepping down
Original post made by Jeb Bing, editor of the Pleasanton Weekly, on Aug 17, 2009
As happy as we were to see Bowen come back safely to his family after seven months on assignments in the Middle East and African coastal waters aboard the USS New Orleans, there was surprise and sadness in Miller's announcement that he was stepping down as chairman of the Pleasanton Military Families support group. Miller, a retired lieutenant colonel in the Army who served in Vietnam and is now a Realtor in Pleasanton, first organized the group in 1991 when the first Gulf War occurred and with the help of Marine mom Alice Johnston.
A veteran of the early days of the Vietnam War, Miller later flew commercial helicopters out of San Francisco for 11 years. He regularly saw returning Vietnam War veterans as they came through SFO and also back to the Bay Area and saw them treated "awfully and with disrespect" by their fellow American citizens. At that time, he made a mental note that if American armed forces personnel were ever sent off to combat again, he would do all in his power to see that they were respected and comforted (including their families) while they were serving in harm's way and then to make sure that they were honored and appreciated when they came home again.
Together with Johnston, Miller formed and co-chaired the first Pleasanton Military Families Support Group. The organization held meetings Tuesday nights at Johnston's home and when the local troops came home, they welcomed them on the court where the Johnstons lived with cheering, flag-waving crowds Vietnam veterans never saw. Civic and city leaders joined in and Miller was given permission to post American flags and yellow streamers on Main Street light poles, with each streamer listing the name, rank and branch of service of someone in the military serving in the war zones. As a result of the organized and popular tributes, the entire Tri-Valley turned out for a welcome home parade in Hacienda Business Park when the Gulf War ended.
After the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, and with the Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (Iraq) wars under way, Miller started up the Pleasanton Military Families again in 2003 and it's been going ever since. It was tough at first as a large number from Pleasanton volunteered to serve, including many right out of high school, and the PMF took on increased responsibilities for maintaining contact with those in remote battlefields and their concerned families here at home. Miller led the meetings again every Tuesday night, helped as the months and years went on by returning veterans and their families who pitched in to share their feelings, comfort those with sons, daughters, husbands and wives still serving, packing kits filled with supplies needed by those in the field, sending letters and building new and what have become lifelong friendships.
At Miller's request, the Pleasanton Weekly began sending copies of the paper each week to the PMF's list of those serving in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan, which we continue to do free of charge.
Last December, Miller's wife Marty was diagnosed with kidney cancer and had surgery to remove the affected kidney on April 27 at the City of Hope Hospital in Duarte, Calif. She is now fully recovered and joined her husband to welcome home Andy Bowen and also to thank the military support group for its many messages of comfort during her challenging times.
Those times also gave Chris Miller a chance to reevaluate his role, with his decision to step down as chairman of the organization to spend more time with Marty and their children.
There's just one more commitment he's accepted: to update and add new streamers on Main Street before the coming winter winds and rain. The first batch of new ones went up in front of Gay '90s this week, with Chris Miller on the scene to help in the work.

Chris Miller did a wonderful job leading the group.
When my older son Darren was in Iraq the first time, I was scared, had no idea what all that military lingo meant and by joining the group I received some assurance and comfort.
It certainly was a support group...support for the soldiers and support for each other.
At the end of each meeting, we would join hands and say The Lord's Prayer which created a huge bond among us.
Since I was born and raised in Germany, I never learned the words to that prayer in English but can recite it in German, which I did. You can imagine the looks I got from people standing close to me.
I moved away last year but stay in touch with Chris and Pat Frizell. I am still on the email list, so I have a feeling of belonging to them.
I hope someone will take over, although Chris will be a tough act to follow.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Chris a few times as well as my son enjoying the benefit of what is started here. I have no doubts that the Pleasanton Military Families Support Group will continue in the same way it has. There are many many people now how are following with the same spirit that Chris started.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Chris for keeping the focus on the men and women who devote their lives to protecting the freedom we cherish.

A single factor goes a long way in explaining the dearth of women in math-intensive fields. How can we address it?
Wendy M. Williams, Stephen J. Ceci
Three major sets of factors have been offered to explain the dearth of women in math-intensive fields: ability differences; occupational and lifestyle preferences; and sex discrimination. Elsewhere we have extensively reviewed the evidence for several of these issues; here we provide a summary.
Ability differences: Scholars once thought sex differences that favored men on tests of quantitative ability were responsible for the shortage of women in math-based fields. Although there are no systematic sex differences in average scores on tests such as the SAT mathematics (SAT-M), many more men score in the very top range. For example, among the top 0.01 percent (1 in 10,000) of scorers in nonrandom samples, there are about 4 men for every woman. College admissions committees may admit more men because of their higher SAT-M scores, setting in motion a cycle of women's attrition.
Yet this cannot be the whole story or even a large part of it. Starting about two decades ago, women began gaining on men in math ability and participation. By 2005, men and women were almost equally represented among college math majors, and women tend to get better grades in math courses. But far fewer women than men enroll in math-based Ph.D. programs. The GRE-Quantitative scores of graduate students in math-intensive fields at our own university are very high across the board. These students come from the top end of the ability distribution, and the test actually underestimates their ability due to ceiling problems (there are not enough very hard questions to distinguish the truly exceptional from the merely talented). So, since fewer women score in the top range on tests used for admission to Ph.D. programs, this fact may be responsible for some of the shortage of women in math-intensive careers.
As compelling as this argument seems, however, there are several problems with it. Females outperform males in math classes throughout schooling, including in college. Surely graduate-admissions decision makers take women's higher GPAs into account. Also, even if among the top 1 percent of scorers there were 2 males for every female, there should still be more women in math-based disciplines, because we do not see anything close to a 2-to-1 ratio of men to women in these careers. Recall that 12 percent or less of full professors in these fields are women. Something more than scoring at the right tail is responsible.
Some researchers argue that those who succeed in mathematical fields come from more rarefied strata than the top 1 percent. David Lubinski, Camilla Benbow and their associates at Vanderbilt University have shown that those in the top quarter of the top 1 percent of scorers outperform those in the bottom quarter of the top 1 percent in obtaining tenure-track jobs, publishing articles and patents, and other indicators of excellence and success. If extremely high math ability is important to success, and if many more men possess this extreme ability than do women, perhaps it is responsible for observed ratios of men to women in math-based fields. Although further investigation might show a correlation between success and scores in the far-right tail of the range, no one has demonstrated a causal relation between the two factors. We do know that math-talented women are less likely than equivalently math-talented men to enter mathematical professions. In other words, many fewer women than men choose mathematical fields—even when they have comparable math scores.
There is no direct evidence that men's math-score advantage explains this shortage of women. Forty-five percent of undergraduate degrees in mathematics go to women, as do 29 percent of Ph.D.s, suggesting that whatever these women's math skills, they are compatible with very high levels of achievement. Thus, we believe mathematical differences between the sexes are not primary factors in women's underrepresentation in math-heavy fields.
Career preferences and lifestyle differences: If cognitive differences cannot explain most of the shortage of women in these careers, what about sex differences in career preferences and lifestyle choices? Surveys have documented that females, starting at a young age, are more interested in careers that involve living things—such as medicine, biology, animal science and psychology—than fields such as computer science, mathematics, physics and engineering. Adolescent girls seldom name engineering and computer science as desired careers, whereas nearly a quarter of adolescent boys do. Unlike some researchers, we are not overly worried by these findings, because careers in biology, medicine and veterinary science seem as valuable and satisfying as those in math-based fields. It would be troubling if adolescents declined to try such professions on the basis of faulty information about what is possible, but as long as they are doing so to pursue careers they perceive as more rewarding, society still benefits from these young people's talents.
A related factor concerns life-course differences between the sexes. In surveys of graduate students, Lubinski, Benbow and their students found that female graduate students viewed a full-time career as "important" or "extremely important" about as often as did their male counterparts (77 percent versus 81 percent, respectively). However, when it came to the importance of temporarily having a part-time career, significant sex differences emerged (31 percent versus 9 percent, respectively), as well as for always having a part-time career (19 percent versus 9 percent, respectively).
Such life-course preferences can lead to differences in research productivity and hours spent at the office, reflecting differing priorities in optimal life-work balance. Lubinski studied the amount of time that nearly 2,000 33-year-olds, who were in the top 1 percent of quantitative ability during their adolescence, spent on career-related work. He found that roughly twice as many high-aptitude men as women reported working at their jobs more than 50 hours per week. Other surveys underscore this male advantage in working very long hours.
Sex discrimination in publishing, funding and hiring: A frequent claim is that women are derailed by sex discrimination in publishing their work, obtaining grant funding and being hired. However, although these forms of discrimination may have played important roles historically, none of these causes can explain today's underrepresentation. In an article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the U.S.A., we reviewed the evidence and concluded that such discrimination is not responsible for the current dearth of women. Consider one example of the research we synthesized. In 2004 and 2005, a National Research Council committee surveyed U.S. university departments and faculty in a number of math-intensive fields about their interviewing, hiring and promotion records. It found that women applicants were actually more likely to be interviewed and offered tenure-track jobs than were their male competitors, and that there were no differences in tenure and promotion rates for women and men. A number of other analyses have reached the same conclusions. In mathematics, only 20 percent of applicants for tenure-track posts were women, but 28 percent of those invited to interview were women, as were 32 percent of those offered positions.
The picture is much the same for funding and publishing. Women scientists are as successful as men at publishing work and at earning grant funding, according to analyses of hundreds of thousands of grant applications submitted throughout the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.
Thus, the shortage of women in mathematical fields is not the result of discriminatory hiring, publishing and funding, nor can it be explained away on the basis of ability differences. Some portion of the dearth of women in math fields can clearly be traced to differences between the sexes in career preferences. Women's greater desire for lifestyle flexibility, reflecting differing ideas about work-life balance and different expectations regarding responsibility for raising children and working in the home, also plays a role. This latter point leads to what we see as the single most important factor in explaining women's underrepresentation: a desire for children and family life.

Happy 2013, everyone! 2012 is officially in our rearview mirror!
Now is the time to look back at the year that was. Everyone everywhere is posting their end of the year best and worsts and top tens (I'll be posting my plans tomorrow), and I figured I'd give FMR commenters their say!
What was YOUR favorite movie of 2012? Didn't have to be seen in the theatre… but, let's stick with the 2012 releases, though!
It was a huge year for movies. My top 10 list could easily (very easily) be a top 15. Somewhere along the line some excellent movies are going to fail to make the cut. How about you though? What was YOUR favorite? I know some people will be anxious to share more than one, that's fine, feel free. But I'd like to hear everyone's opinions on the best movies of the year, so let's have 'em!
What was YOUR favorite Movie of 2012?

Happy Comic Release Day! Welcome to another installment of GeekMom Comic Book Corner, where we recap our adventures in comics for the week.
Dakster Sullivan – Avengers vs. X-Men Round 10
Just like Spider-Man said in Round 9, "It doesn't matter how many gods or super-soldiers or Hulks they got on the payroll. Once you're an Avenger it never fails. … Sooner or later the time comes when it's your turn to step up to the plate. You just gotta make sure you're ready." Hope finally gets her moment to step up to the plate in Avengers vs. X-Men Round 10. This issue was packed full of action as Hope and the Avengers hit Cyclops with everything they have.
The young mutant messiah takes center stage this week as Cyclops comes to the ancient city of K'un-L'un to take her back to Utopia.
In the beginning, Iron Fist comes to Hope's defense and tells her to run and find the Thunderer. I can tell that she doesn't like the idea of running from the fight, but she obeys Iron Fist and runs as fast as her legs could carry her. When she finds Thunderer, it's as if he already knows what is going on and what needs to be done.

Federal Aid Programs
Make a selection below for more information on available federal aid programs.
Students attending both the fall and spring semesters, if they qualify financially, are given grants for the academic year. This means that one half of the total grant amount is disbursed for each semester, resulting in two disbursements.
Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG) – The SEOG is also a type of Title IV Federal Aid. A student must be eligible to receive a Federal Pell Grant in order to qualify for SEOG. In order to qualify for SEOG, you must complete the FAFSA form. Unlike Pell Grant funding, SEOG funding is limited, and students must meet the March 1st priority deadline for financial aid in order to qualify for SEOG funds at Frostburg State University.
FWS students are paid minimum wage. FWS is also a limited fund, and students wishing to receive an on-campus job as part of the Federal Work-Study Program must file the FAFSA form and meet the March 1st priority deadline. Those students who do not receive FWS as part of their original award package will be placed on an automatic waiting list, and will be contacted by our office at a later time if funds become available. Students must meet satisfactory progress standards to receive this award.
Note: Federal Work-Study awards are not directly applied to the recipient's bill. As a student works, he or she turns in a timesheet for the hours worked and is paid bi-weekly via direct deposit. Federal job placement is held the first week of the fall semester, and those students awarded FWS funds will be contacted under separate cover before the start of each fall semester concerning the location and times for job placement. If a student does not report to job placement during the appointed time, the FWS will be canceled and reallocated to another eligible student.
Loans are borrowed money and must be repaid, including interest. Both undergraduate and graduate students may borrow loan money through the federal loan programs. Students must be registered for at least 6 credit hours in order to be eligible to receive federal loan funding. The amount of loan money that a student can borrow in federal loans is determined by the student's grade level, how many credit hours the student is taking per semester, and yearly and aggregate loan limits imposed by the U.S. Department of Education. Students attending both the fall and spring semesters are given loans for the academic year. This means that one half of the total loan amount is disbursed for each semester, resulting in two loan disbursements. It is important to realize that repayment of student loans begins after the student graduates, withdraws, takes a leave of absence from the university, or drops below 6 credits. Students must meet satisfactory progress standards to receive these awards.
Federal Perkins Loan – The Perkins Loan program has been defunded by Congress on 10/1/15. No new Perkins Loans will be awarded at FSU. If you are student who has previously borrowed a Perkins Loan from FSU, and are seeking information about repayment or deferment, please contact our Perkins Loan Office at (301) 687-3186.
Federal Stafford Loan – All students qualify for a Federal Stafford Loan in some form. The amount a student receives in a Stafford Loan will depend on the student's grade level, the amount of other financial aid being received, and federal yearly and aggregate loan limits. Freshmen (0 to 29 credits) may be offered $5,500 per year; sophomores (30 to 59 credits), $6,500; and for those who have attained junior class standing (60 or more credits), $7,500 per year, if eligible. Of these amounts, $2,000 may be unsubsidized. The amount you may borrow in any given year may not exceed the educational costs as certified by the Financial Aid Office. The aggregate amount one may borrow as an undergraduate cannot exceed $31,000. Of this amount, only $23,000 may be subsidized. A graduate or professional student may borrow up to $20,500 per year. Graduate students can borrow unsubsidized loans only beginning July 1, 2012. The maximum outstanding debt for graduate or professional students, which includes Federal Subsidized Stafford Loans borrowed for undergraduate study, is $138,500 (excluding unsubsidized loans).
The type of Stafford Loan a student receives is determined by financial need as calculated by the FAFSA form. You do not need to meet the March 1st deadline to qualify for a Stafford Loan. Although you do not need to meet the March 1st priority deadline in order to qualify for a Stafford Loan, please keep in mind that a Stafford Loan alone is not enough to cover the entire cost of attendance for college. The interest rate on Stafford Loans is variable, and changes every year on July 1st. The federal government has placed a cap of 8.25% on the interest rate of all Stafford Loans. Repayment of Stafford Loans begins 6 months after the student graduates, drops below 6 credits, withdraws, or takes a leave of absence from the university. This 6-month period is known as the "grace period. There is a 1.069% origination fee for all Stafford Loans beginning October 1, 2016. This origination fee will increase for loans processed after July 1, 2017, and the new rate will be announced after July 1, 2017. Please see the chart below for more information.

Subsidized Stafford Loan - There are two different types of Stafford Loans. The first type of loan is a Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan. A subsidized loan is a loan where the government pays the interest for the student while he or she is in school. Interest begins at graduation and accumulates during his or her 6 month grace period. Subsidized Stafford Loans are awarded to those students demonstrating financial need. The interest rate for undergraduate students for the 2016-2017 academic year is fixed at 3.76%. Beginning July 1, 2012 there are no subsidized loans for graduate students.
Unsubsidized Stafford Loan - The other type of Stafford Loan is called an Unsubsidized Stafford Loan. Any student may borrow a loan through the Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan Program. This loan program is not need based. With an Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, the student is responsible for the interest on the loan from the time the loan is disbursed until the loan has been paid in full. Students are given the option of capitalizing the interest on the loan or making payments on the loan's interest only while they are in school. Capitalizing the interest on the loan means that the student is not required to make interest payments while they are in school. Capitalizing the interest on a loan also means that the interest continually builds on the loan, and the student will end up paying more for the loan in the long run. The interest rate for undergraduate students for the 2016-2017 academic year is fixed at 3.76%. The interest rate for graduate students for the 2016-2017 academic year is fixed at 5.31%.
Federal Parent PLUS Loan – The Federal PLUS Loan Program grants loans to parents of undergraduate students who are enrolled for at least 6 credits in a degree-seeking program. Parent loans were created as a way for families to fund any portion of the student's education that is not covered by another form of financial aid. Parents may borrow the difference between the cost of attendance of the University and the amount of other funding the student is receiving from grants, scholarships, tuition waivers, student loans, etc. A credit check is required for parents wishing to borrow funds from the Parent PLUS Loan Program. If a parent is denied a Parent PLUS Loan he or she should contact the financial aid office to inquire about additional funding options. If a parent wishes to find out if he or she will be approved for a Parent PLUS Loan, the parent may complete our online pre-approval process in the PLUS Loan section of this web site, listed under the general heading of "Loans" on our home page. The federal government has placed a cap of 9% on all PLUS Loans. The interest rate for all parents borrowing a Federal Parent PLUS Loan for the 2016-2017 academic year is fixed at 6.31%. All Federal PLUS Loans will have a 4.276% origination fee beginning Octoer 1, 2016. This origination fee will increase for loans processed after July 1, 2017, and the new rate will be announced after July 1, 2017.
It is important to realize that repayment on parent loans begin 60 days after the loan has been fully disbursed, unless special arrangements have been made and finalized between the borrower and lender.

African Journalists Strategize at WAJA Conference
For some delegates, just getting to the West African Journalists Association (WAJA) regional conference in Dakar, Senegal, was an impressive achievement. While his colleagues used more conventional modes of transportation, Sierra Leone Association of Journalists (SLAJ) president Frank Kposowa navigated his way out of the country by night in a hired motorized dugout canoe. The state of anarchy in Sierra Leone since the May 25, 1997, coup d'?état had rendered travel virtually impossible, and Kposowa's risky passage was just another example of the challenges facing courageous journalists who chose to remain in the country and risked losing their lives by practicing their profession.
