text: So now the reason for the Patriots bringing Tim Tebow into their fold is clear, as an evolving plot by owner Robert Kraft begins to surface. You see, Russian President Vlad Putin stole Kraft's Superbowl ring in 2005, saying it would be "fun to kill someone with it". Intimidated by KGB agents at the time, and then U.S. President Bush, who requested that Kraft pretend it was a gift in order to maintain relations. For the next 8 years, Kraft quietly seethed - waiting for a deliverer, who could return the precious ring. Finally, a chosen one with such intense spirituality that he could impersonate The Pope, infiltrate Putin's fortress, and in the obligatory exchange of ring kissing... suck that stolen object right off his finger, then run 80 yards through any defenders, to a suped up Popemobile outside! Brilliant!!!

Idle No More Is Not Just an "Indian Thing"

What is "Idle No More"? To me this conversation is more than just an "Indian Thing." It is one that Canadians of all backgrounds should pay attention to, if not participate in. The ideals that are underlying this action are ones to which we all aspire, even if we may disagree on how exactly to pursue them.

(ISC)2 Publishes Hiring Guide to InfoSec Profession
Part of (ISC)2 Hiring Resource Center, Free 30-Page Booklet Provides HR Professionals Tips on Recruiting and Hiring Qualified Information Security Staff
PALM HARBOR, Fla., USA, Jan. 16, 2008 – (ISC)2® ("ISC-squared"), the non-profit global leader in educating and certifying information security professionals throughout their careers, today announced the publication of its "Hiring Guide to the Information Security Profession." This free reference guide for human resource (HR) professionals, hiring managers and recruiters provides tips on how to best find, recruit, hire and retain qualified information security staff.
Written by (ISC)2 with input from leading HR, recruiting professionals and subject-matter experts, the Hiring Guide highlights the history and growth of the information security profession, typical job functions and career paths, and ideal candidate traits. Providing tips on crafting job descriptions, screening, interviewing, extending an offer and more, the 30-page guide concludes with a section on retention and a list of online resources.
"Securing an organization in a world driven by global commerce requires security specialists who can create and implement a program, obtain support from the executive team, and create security awareness among employees – all while complying with legal and regulatory requirements," said Eddie Zeitler, CISSP, executive director for (ISC)². "Hiring first-rate information security staff is critical to mitigating risks that can destroy a company's reputation, violate privacy, result in the theft or destruction of intellectual property, and even endanger lives."
"As the field of information security evolves, companies are searching for a new breed of information security professional who possesses business and technical acumen," said Joyce Brocaglia, founder and CEO of Alta Associates, an executive recruitment firm specializing in information security, IT audit, IT risk management and privacy. "By understanding this evolution, HR professionals can add value to their organization by attracting and hiring the best possible candidates. The Hiring Guide offers much-needed, practical suggestions on how to do just that through the recruitment and retention of the best in the industry."
The guide is available in hard copy or in electronic format downloadable from the (ISC)2 Hiring Resource Center at www.isc2.org/HRCenter. The (ISC)2 Hiring Resource Center offers other materials to assist HR professionals and related fields, including:
• A white paper titled, "Securing the Organization: Creating a Partnership between HR and Information Security," which describes how the two fields can work together to better secure the organization;
• A case study titled, "Securing the Right Information Security Team," which provides a detailed account of how UBS Investment Bank in Switzerland created joint responsibility between HR and line management in security professional placement;
• Results from (ISC)2's annual Global Information Security Workforce Study, which provides a detailed picture of the industry, including information on salaries, the growing need for professionals, the latest threats, etc.; and
• An online career center that matches qualified information security professionals with companies and organizations free of charge. Only certified (ISC)² credential holders may post resumes on the career center, but any HR professional may search the resumes.
"With the increasing dependence upon the virtual world in every corner of business and society, the need to find, hire and retain qualified professionals to protect information assets has never been greater," added Zeitler. "We hope this guide helps HR professionals, recruiters and hiring managers better understand the scope of this burgeoning profession and lessen the pain of obtaining the best and brightest information security staff."
About (ISC)²
The International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium, Inc. [(ISC)2®] is the internationally recognized Gold Standard for certifying information security professionals. Founded in 1989, (ISC)² has certified over 57,000 information security professionals in 135 countries. Based in Palm Harbor, Florida, USA, with offices in Washington, D.C., London, Hong Kong and Tokyo, (ISC)2 issues the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and related concentrations, Certification and Accreditation Professional (CAPCM), and Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) credentials to those meeting necessary competency requirements. The CISSP, CISSP-ISSEP, CISSP-ISSAP and SSCP are among the first information technology credentials to meet the stringent requirements of ANSI/ISO/IEC Standard 17024, a global benchmark for assessing and certifying personnel. (ISC)² also offers a continuing professional education program, a portfolio of education products and services based upon (ISC)2's CBK®, a taxonomy of information security topics, and is responsible for the annual (ISC)² Global Information Security Workforce Study. More information is available at www.isc2.org.

I'd be interested in hearing what you think about this guide and if you think it will help not only you in shaping resumes but also if it will help HR staff better understand what we do. Hopefully, regardless of whether they understand or not, I do hope that they include the InfoSec staff in the hiring process as they should with all areas not completely understood.

an attractive or exciting quality that makes certain people or things seem appealing
an unfashionable or socially inept person
a knowledgeable and obsessive enthusiast
At first glance, I typically do not appear geeky (no obvious air of nerdiness, no glasses in sight, no disheveled clothing etc) but inside, I'm a geek girl through and through! And proud of it, thank you very much.
I find it satisfying to 'out' myself as a geek when I meet new people and I like observing their reactions when my eyes start to sparkle and dance as I talk non-stop about Star Trek, X-MEN, anything to do with the question 'What superpower would you have and why?' , anything to do with lightsabers/ the words 'I love you. I know.' (which is inscribed in some very precious jewelry btw) . I am literally trying to stop myself from listing all the various TV shows, movies and pop culture things I consume.
On another note, I can also geek out quite easily when it comes to any topics that involve the media, anti-racism, colonialism and decolonization processes, Indigenous resistance and theories of skin-whitening. WHICH…brings me to even more topics I can geek out on such as fashion, beauty, lifestyle….
Yea. Versatile geek. How that's for a definition of geek, Google?!
Anyway, considering that so many topics can make me geek out and start waving my arms around excitedly and just want to brain vomit on people all day along – I found this quote by J.K. Rowling particularly touching.
I was watching an interview with her and Daniel Radcliffe (this is what I do in my free time, people) and when she said that, I was like ' OH. MY.GOD. That is me!!!'
Because yes. At one point, I was pretty much a frog. Don't believe me? Check out this picture below:
Yup that's me. I was probably around 9 – 12 years old. By the way, this picture is a favorite for my partner, C, who finds it so hilarious that I looked like this at one point in my life.
'Frog Face' time was the time I started to realize that even if I was a little weird looking (ok, a lot weird looking no thanks to Harry Potter glasses and a bad haircut)… I was super duper awesome in my own way! I channeled all my energy into getting good grades in school and basically, overperforming as much as I could. This was also the time I discovered my love for Star Wars, writing and philosophizing and asking annoying questions about life the adults around me couldn't answer.
So really….I have a lot to be thankful for when I think about Frog Face. Frog Face made me value my intelligence, nurture my creativity and to unapologetically be myself.
In my twenties, I decided – 'FROG FACE' no more! So I decided to experiment with makeup, clothes that weren't just jeans and a tee. Mostly, this meant picking the right glasses for my face and going to a good hairdresser. Kind of like a makeover in a movie but instead of several minutes of fun montage with girls giggling, it was several years of me researching and trying to figure out how to dress myself to feel and look confident, what hair length I like best and what kind of makeup I am comfortable wearing (pretty much anything except foundation which I loathe.)
Last year, I met someone I haven't seen since I was 14 and she exclaimed 'Wow! You're so pretty now!' I'm not sure what I said but in my head I was going 'Thanks??? I think???' Frog Face couldn't have been THAT bad…sheesh! Sometimes, people are so unkind but I'm glad that she came out and said it because I decided then and there that the people I am friends with are people who don't judge me based on how I look – be it 10 years ago or 10 years from now. I still have a couple of good friends from Grade 6 and Grade 8 who just like hearing my stories and what I have to say.
It took me a while to figure out that I could be both glamorous and geeky. These days, I'm pretty happy with myself. I wear my black combat boots with a skirt, I watch lots of TV and then I debate about character development and plot lines, I still overperform and I still geek out over Star Wars (am wearing a Star Wars tank right now). The only difference is…I look a bit better. Ok, sometimes A LOT better *cough cough* My hair might be cut a bit nicer, I might wear contacts and lipstick now but I will always be Frog Face at heart.

In his mere 14 years, actor Atticus Shaffer has played a lot of different characters. Currently, he stars in the ABC hit comedy, The Middle. His character, Brick Heck, is a self-proclaimed geek, with a hearty interest in Lego. In real life, Shaffer says he's a lot like his comedic character. He's smart, he's geeky, and he's also a Lego fan. To prove it, he's got his likeness built into the Statue of Liberty at Legoland in Winter Haven, Florida.
In other words, he's exactly the type of kid a GeekMom would love to call their own.

Media Protest White House Limits on Photographers
Posted by David Walker on Thursday November 21, 2013 | Media, Photojournalism
Posted by David Walker on Thursday November 21, 2013 | Media, Photojournalism
More than three dozen news organizations and journalists' trade associations have submitted a joint letter of protest to the Obama administration, charging it with denying the news media the right to photograph and videotape President Obama while he is performing his official duties.
"We write to protest the limits on access currently barring photographers who cover the White House," the letter to White House Press Secretary Jay Carney began. "We hope this letter will serve as the first step in removing these restrictions and, therefore, we also request a meeting with you to discuss this critical issue further."
To get Carney's attention, the letter includes an indirect threat of legal action on First Amendment grounds. It says the restrictions on photographers "raise constitutional concerns," and goes on to cite a 1980 Supreme Court ruling that protects the First Amendment right of the press to access information about the operation of government.
The letter was delivered to Carney today. It was signed by all major TV news networks, wire services, major newspapers, as well as American Society of Media Photographers, National Press Photographers Association, and other organizations.
"As surely as if they were placing a hand over a journalist's camera lens, officials in this administration are blocking the public from having an independent view of important functions of the Executive Branch of government," the letter says.
It accuses the administration of excluding photographers by labeling the President's meetings as "private events." The letter lists 8 examples of meetings that amounted to "governmental activity of undisputed and wide public interest," including meetings between the President and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Israeli and Palestinian negotiators, and other officials, dignitaries, and activists.
After all but one of the meetings, the White House issued official White House photos of the meetings, according to the letter. "You are, in effect, replacing independent photojournalism with visual press releases," news organizations complained to Carney in the protest letter.
The letter says that previous administrations were more transparent, and adds, "[T]he restrictions imposed by your office on photographers undercut the President's stated desire to continue and broaden that tradition."
The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the letter.
The Obama administration has been subject to past criticism for its handling of the press.
For instance, the Committee to Protect Journalists says in a recent report, "Despite President Barack Obama¹s repeated promise that his administration would be the most open and transparent in American history, reporters and government transparency advocates said they are disappointed by its performance in improving access to the information they need.
""This is the most closed, control freak administration I¹ve ever covered,' said David E. Sanger, veteran chief Washington correspondent of The New York Times."
The Times was one of the 38 organizations that signed today's letter of complaint to White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by coyboy, Jan 6, 2013.
Would it work?
He'd look like a car in reverse against defensive tackles.
Agree but man that cap hit stinks
Oh well. He's gave us no choice.
The guy gets lifted off the ground at times.
Paying for steak, lobster and Dom. Getting bologna, Velveta and T Bird. Probably gets worse inside as guys get under his pads and fork lift him into the backfield.
11 million to keep him or 8 million to cut, I would save the 3 million
I agree. Makes sense.
2nd choice sounds like 1 hell of a time...
is the position I've always envisioned him playing. However, I was told in here, several times, that he wouldn't be a good one because he plays at a high pad level.
My argument has always been that he has quick feet and would be an outstanding pulling guard. He's shown that when he pulls as an OT. Perhaps in a west coast offense ( Houston, Washington ) where they don't need maulers at the O-line, would be a better fit.
.....on one hand I want to say your crazy and he just sucks so bad he'll be out of football next season. But if you think about it, most every player that's left has been better elsewhere: Bowen, Canty, MartyB, etc....IF he goes somewhere else and is miraculously ''resurrected" that's ALL on our coaching. That said, I don't think he will.....what a colossal CLOWN this guy turned out to be. I'd be more forgiving if I thought he tried his best but....I really don't. Can't WAIT until he's out of town:bang2:
Jason Witten would make a better guard that Free, not joking.
The cap hit is much worse to keep him. You could sign a real OG for 7M per year.
Keep now and Cut After 2013:
2013 Cap Hit = 11.175M (7M + 4.175M)
2014 Cap Hit = 4.175M
Addition Real Dollars = 7M
Cut Now*:
2013 Cap Hit = 4.175M
2014 Cap Hit = 4.175M
Additional Real Dollars = Zero
what has made him stink this year would not change if he went to guard. He would just stink in a different position.
The 3 Million potential savings would just be eaten up by a player we would be forced to bring in to play RT.
I think we need to see what he could be if he had a good guard to play next to. His performance has always been much better when you play him beside a good guard.
wow. he's gone.
Yup-you can't have a teddy bear playing inside in the NFL.
He is getting physically manhandled at times. Larry Allen next to him would not make Doug Free good against a bullrush. Steroids yes.
I believe.
Security guard.
Free seemed to lose it mentally.
He isn't strong and isn't nasty but when he came a whipping boy every play that is just too much to handle.
Scrubs were having career years off him in ONE GAME.
To stay as an OG he'd have to take a big salary cut which seems almost crazy.
We paid him as an LT and he isn't even a starting caliber RT. He has to be cut lose.
No way... He's overpowered as is.

LOL , no were not going 'mad max"--ever see the 1981 movie "escape from new york!" ?
i guess you could combine "mad-max" and "escspe from new york" and you would have a closer picture of the future of the USA.
maybe the title should be "mad-max escapes form new york"???

OK, last week I found a swarm hanging from one of my trees. I caught it and put it in a nuc, but unfortunately it flew away. I suspected it was from one of my two hives in my yard. So, I checked my biggest and strongest hive, and made a split when opening the broodnest, which I had not yet done and it desperately needed. I had a queen cell I have been growing specifically for this purpose. It was quite a bit of work, so I decided to check my second hive the next day.
The next day rolls around and I open my second hive, which I had checkerboarded about a month ago due to it being honeybound from an early Willow flow. Big surprise! I could find NO eggs or queen, and only a small section about 3 inches long with capped worker brood. Everything else was capped drone brood or honey in various states of curing. Those bees were also much more aggressive than normal. I am guessing they are queenless, and doing the math, it would place them being queenless from around the 4th of March - right around the time of a sudden major freeze we had.
Here is my question - Should I give my only queen cell to the split or to the hive. I fear the hive - even though it has a large number of bees, may be past the useful recovery point and my best bet would be to give it to the young up and coming hive. Letting the old hive pull in what honey it can and dwindle away would be the result. Buying a new queen would solve both issues, but none seem to be had for another three weeks.

Ashland moves to impeach suspended alderman
Jeff Anderson was suspended in September and now faces impeachment from the Board of Aldermen
ASHLAND, Mo. - A special board of aldermen met in Ashland Tuesday to discuss the controversial suspension of an alderman. Now the board wants to kick him off for good.
Second Ward Alderman Jeff Anderson was suspended in September. The board sent him a letter saying the suspension happened because of his attempts to circumvent the board and for acting in a way inconsistent with his role as an alderman. Some in the city believe the move was illegal.
During the meeting, there were several tense moments. Most of the moments came when they were talking about Anderson and his suspension. Mayor Gene Rhorer tells ABC 17 News this issue needs to resolved.
As soon as the meeting began, Anderson stood up in the crowd and demanded he be let back in his seat. That request was quickly denied by Rhorer.
Rhorer said Anderson was still suspended and if he wanted to talk, he could do so during the public comment portion of the meeting.
Rhorer said the issue needs to move forward because it's slowing the city's work process down.
"Accumulated a lot of time in my daily schedule, not to mention those daily schedules of the older persons and city staff," Rhorer said.
There was also a motion by another alderman to reinstate Anderson. No other alderman would second that motion, so Anderson was denied a second time.
The board, however, did come to a majority agreement to impeach Anderson. They chose former city attorney David Bandre -- who was let go in May -- to be the special attorney to handle the impeachment process.
City officials are being tight-lipped and still not releasing specific details about why Anderson is suspended.
"Once Mr. Bandre is in his role as special counsel, he'll be able to release details of the impeachment and why it's going forward," interim city attorney Andrew Bach said.
Rhorer said he's confident the process will move along swiftly.
"My information that Mr. Bandre has represented two or three impeachments, so he is up to date on the process," Rhorer said.
Anderson would not do any interviews on Tuesday and promptly left the meeting when they brought up the issuing of hiring Bandre to impeach him. There have not been any dates set yet for those impeachment hearings.
During the meeting, the board unsuccessfully tried to hire a full-time city attorney. There were names introduced, but none was able to get a majority vote.

Yes, I made the big decision and bought the Glock 19 yesterday. I am so excited. I had wanted to shoot it one more time before I bought one, but they didn't have one at the range where we shoot. I still think I made the right decision and can't wait to go shoot it for the first time today. Wandering Man can't wait for his turn.:
This is my birthday weekend and a lot of people will never understand why I wanted a gun for this occasion, but it is fun for me! : :

Ultimately, his ceiling will depend on his outside shot. However, guys with his physical profile and passing ability(Rondo and Ricky Rubio) have been extremely successful at the next level without a consistent jumper. There are a lot of explosive but undersized scorers who can't run point in the NBA; Carter-Williams' ability to defend SGs and run the offense at 6'6 would allow a team to start someone like Ben Gordon, Lou Williams or Brandon Knight. While you couldn't pair him with a poor jump-shooter like Rodney Stuckey, any guard with a good jumper would look good next to him.
If he was a 35-40 percent three-point shooter, he would be in the conversation for the No. 1 overall pick. Instead, like Damian Lillard, he could make a backdoor run at the Rookie of the Year award if he lands in the right spot in the lottery. He's the best player Boeheim has had in a decade; there will be a lot of NBA teams watching to see if he can keep up his hot shooting in the next few rounds.
Nerlens Noel- dependent on his recovery
Players I would not draft at 5 or pray Pelicans do not draft period:
1. Smart
2. Zeller
3. Len
4. Oladipo
5. Michael Carter William
Burke had one of the most decorated seasons in recent college basketball history, and it was well-deserved. There wasn't a single part of his game which didn't improve from his freshman season. He has the qualities of a great court leader, a very high basketball IQ, and he isn't afraid to have the ball in his hands in big moments. Some may have issues with his size, but his skill is so advanced, you rarely notice it. He does need to tighten up on the defensive end, and he can be a better finisher once he gets into the lane, but Burke is the best point guard in this draft, and he should be ready to contribute very quickly in the NBA.
Draft Value: Early 1st – Early Lottery - #1-6
Burke would be a great fit for any team that runs a pick-and-roll heavy offense, but he is not limited to that type of offense. He is good in transition, and he can put points up quickly if necessary. The best point guard in this year's Draft.
Porter is a very versatile player who can help create mismatches in different areas of the court. He understands spacing well and he has good court vision and sense. He continues to improve in almost all areas of his game, and he should be capable of guarding a couple of positions at the NBA level. Porter understands how to make an impact, even when he doesn't have the ball on offense, setting solid screens and attacking the offensive glass relentlessly. He still has work to do to improve his quickness, but he understands the game so well that he finds ways to compensate.
Draft Value: 1st Round – High Lottery – #3-8
Porter is still developing as a player, but 2 years at Georgetown has given him a solid foundation from which to build. He should be capable of playing in multiple systems and has the skills and understanding to make an impact in a variety of ways from Day 1.

1 or 2 gal? Screen type feeder hole or plug with holes drilled in it? Currently have one gallons with a plug and some drilled holes. Thinking of switching to some 2 gal. Your thoughts?
1 or 2 gal? Screen type feeder hole or plug with holes drilled in it? Currently have one gallons with a plug and some drilled holes. Thinking of switching to some 2 gal. Your thoughts?
Am using 2gal w/drilled holes personally. Lasts tad longer.
Stole the idea when was at Dadant. They use a pile of buckets stacked on pallet. When they are empty, the wind blows them over, they know time to refill<--warehouse guy who gets to fill them.
So I bought bucket there, lol. Have a fire ant issue at my farm, so have to feed away from hives until cold pushes ants down again. I get about 3-5 days of 1:1 for two nucs/growing hives. Intermittent rain has pushed flowers back several times now. When the flowers do come back, they stop feeding from buckets, lasts about 10 days (have few drops of bleach added). Anybody @ buckets that doesn't belong (Yellow jackets, etc) gets the stick test (squish=fail).
Buckets have holes drilled directly below plastic ribs about 3/4 inch from lid. No need for plugs etc. Lid had 3 holes drilled in it for putting directly onto hive top. I just plugged mine up with beeswax.
I like having one central feeding area to deal with, instead of each individual hive. Only get messy and sticky once at end of inspections that way. Wife doesn't even have to suit up to change out. Done and gone in under 3 minutes and everybody taken care of in one fell swoop.
I use the 5-quart buckets as they are omnipresent, can find them for free in the dumpsters behind restaurants or hardware stores, etc., and they fit inside a deep box. I make a 3/4" plywood board with a circular hole a half-inch smaller diameter than the lid, centered over the cluster. I drill #60 holes in the lids in rows to line up with the bee-space gaps between the frames. I place the buckets lid-side-down on these boards, and an empty deep brood box with an inner cover and a telescoping cover over them to help conserve heat - these are my robbing season and winter feeders (I get away with Boardman feeders in mild conditions, fondant boards if it freezes).
Crazylocha - I put ant traps - the Combat blister packs with sugar/water/borax inside inside a wood-frame box with #8 hardware cloth all around it to keep the bees from getting to it. A tent peg holds it down so the bees don't somehow get access to it. The ant trail gets narrower each day for about 5 days, then they are GONE. I just wish I could relocate the ants...I don't like the idea of killing them - they are part of the environment, too, just like the bees and us. Suggestions for trapping ants, anyone?

Anybody use a two gal with the screen? Do the 2 gal buckets leak? That is my main concern
I use in-hive feeders mainly. A few years ago I tried out some two gal buckets (purchased at Home Depot) with screens I purchased from Mann Lake. I cut a hole in the bucket lid and inserted the screens. I then drilled a small hole in the top of the hive lids and placed the bucket full of syrup upside down on the hive lid, covering the hole. I had very little problems with the buckets leaking. Some of the syrup will pour out the screen when you first turn it over until the airlock in the bucket occurs. The only issue I ran into is some of the hives didn't empty out all the syrup before it started to mold.
We use 2 gallon Paragon pails(Melrose Park Ill.), purchased thru BASCO. They have a lid that will reseal. We drill a hole and heat seal a SS screen from Lapp's, or Extrusion Supply(Waukesha Wis.)
They are not perfect, but leak less than those with a much of small holes spread over the lid. It helps to have your hives level.
Crazy Roland
To answer the question, they mostly do not leak. They can leak when you get hot days cool nights, then the air lock can break. Get proper buckets with screen and a twist on cap so you can refill, without having to completely remove the lid.
Appreciate the info gentlemen.
We use a 7 kg honey container which holds over a gallon, plastic handles supplied break fast, used to have a metal handle , but don't make em anymore,80 mesh screen and a 1 '' pipe plug
For the people that cut a hole and heat weld the screen in place. Do you refill through the screen? I tried buckets, but found that the lid would crack over time with repeated openings. Maybe I needed better lids. *shrugs*
The wider the holes are spread over the lid the more critical it is that the bucket sits level to keep it from leaking.
I made mine out of 2 gallon icing buckets from a donut store. The price is right, the size is right, and the functionality is fine - but I don't have much confidence that the !ids will stay on when I flip them. No disasters so far, but I need to replace them with something with a better lid. BTW, I have a few that are made out of 4 gallon size, and that is actually kind of handy - one feeding really does a hive some good.
Since '09-75H-T-Z6b
KevinR - we pickup at 2 gallon Paragon pail in Melrose Park(Chicago). You must deal though a distributor, such as Dee at BASCO. We choose that pail because the lid reseals the best, and so far looks like it will last 20 years. We would rather have a 4 gallon pail made from a softer plastic, but they are special order, 1400 minimum.
Crazy Roland
Can anyone advise me of the mesh size used when making feeder buckets? I looked at the webite for extrusion supply and see options that might work but don't want to use screen that is too fine or too course. Thanks for the help!

Radar, this seems large for the circular screen in the cover of a feeder pail. I am thinking it is something like 20, 40, 100, 150 mesh http://extrusioncontrol.com/extruder...filtration.htm
Rader, I wish to disagree. The tighter the screen, the less it leaks from angiliZation.
From Extrusion Control and Supply:
Part number SCN2.5-40SS
Desc. 2.5 ' dia, 40 mesh Stainless steel.

The info was free, but i WILL charge you for the best way to weld them to the lids........
Crazy ROland
Do you heat the mesh really hot and use a heated bodymans anvil welded to a handle to push it in?
> Rader, I wish to disagree. The tighter the screen, the less it leaks from angiliZation.
Roland and Peg -
Well, re-reading the whole thread, there are two different concepts being talked about in different posts in this thread.. One is to punch holes in a container (see post #3) and set that container over a screened opening in a hive cover. The other concept is to attach screen to a portion of the feed bucket as an alternative to drilling holes.
I was responding to the idea of screening a hive cover, but I can see that I entirely missed the second concept on initial reading.

Held at: Dunelm House, Durham, 21st April 2012
Chaired by: Jon Diamond (President)
The meeting opened at 6:18pm and those present were asked to sign the attendance sheet.
Graham Black and Jenny Radcliffe were appointed tellers.
Minutes of the 2011 AGM were distributed and approved.
There were no matters arising from the minutes.
Written reports were received from the President, Secretary and Treasurer, and the Membership Secretary and Auditor.
Jon reminded members that the paper newsletter was ceasing but noted that the information it had provided was available on the website (report if anything is missing) and that Jil Segerman intended to continue to produce an email version.
He drew members' attention to the Nihon Ki-in summer school which had been announced after his report had been written.
He specially thanked retiring council member Jenny Radcliffe, auditor Alison Bexfield, and membership secretary Phil Beck.
Phil Beck is standing down on 27th April. Paul Barnard is to take over.
Jon noted that membership was slightly down. Colin Maclennan (Clubs and Membership Committee chair) outlined his plans for autumn, in particular, freshers fair events at universities. Alan Thornton suggested targetting even younger players and Alison Bexfield suggested running events at school summer fairs. Francis Roads reminded the meeting that the Castledine-Barnes Trust supported Go for under-18s. Jenny Radcliffe and Toby Manning noted that the BGA were happy to help with material/boards/etc if given enough notice.
Of particular note was the royalty of £1000 received from a Taiwanese company who licensed the use of the text of the Play Go booklet. Toby thanked all the people involved for producing such a clear and well put together booklet.
Toby explained that as there had been no accounts presented last year, his report covered two financial years. Due to difficulties with the handover from the previous treasurer it had taken some time for him to get on top of things but he was confident that the situation was now under control and that meaningful financial planning was now possible.
Inflation was shocking - 24% since 2006. There had been a £10398 loss in 2010 (distorted by spending sponsorship, so not too worrying) but also a £2691 loss in 2011. The BGA was still solvent but could not keep on hemorrhaging money. Even after the belt-tightening measures that had been taken, he believed increasing subscriptions/levies was necessary.
Council agreed that subscription rates be increased by approximately 33% and the levy by a similar percentage.
|2006 Rate
2012 Rate
|Full UK
|Full (Europe)
|Currently £23
|Full (Rest of World)
|Currently £28
|UK Concession
In response to a query about how BGA cash reserves were being utilised, Toby explained that much was locked in fixed-term bonds. He was open to suggestions on better investment options but given current economic conditions he would be suspicious of any proposal that offered a return of more than a few percent. He was happy with the cash flow situation.
Scott Owens asked how membership numbers would be affected by this large increase. Toby replied that it was unknown; maybe it should have been raised sooner. Jon noted that ability to provide direct member services would be unaffected as expenditure was proportional to the number of members. Andrew Kay asked why the proposed increase was more than inflation. Alison pointed out that if it wasn't, ability to perform outreach might be difficult as the BGA lost about £2000 from no longer having BGA Books income.
David Cantrell asked if 5-year memberships should be stopped, with the maximum reduced to 3 years. Jon said this was up to the membership. Toby had no strong feelings. Alison noted that income from multi-year memberships gave planning time if income dropped off. Jon noted that donations or legacies were always appreciated.
Andrew Thurman asked if more sponsorship was being sought. Toby said it was, and noted that the London Open had already found some. Council welcomed any leads. David Carter was putting together a sponsorship pack; members could talk to him. Andrew Kay suggested approaching the Confucius Institute. Roger Huyshe asked how to characterise BGA members to potential sponsors. Toby observed that being associated with Go might be useful to companies trying to break into far eastern markets as a method of networking. Jenny noted previous sponsorship from games companies and breweries.
Several members asked about an electronic journal both as an environmental and cost-cutting measure. Council would discuss this at a later date.
Toby moved for a vote on the first proposal from the Treasurer's report: That the "Proposed 2012 Subscription Rates" in the table above be adopted forthwith. The proposal was approved, with 28 in favour and 1 against.
Toby asked the meeting to consider his second proposal from the Treasurer's report: That the eligibility for pensioners receiving concession rates be changed from "those eligible to claim the Old-age pension" to "those in receipt of Pension Credit".
Jon explained that pension credit is a means tested benefit. The change would affect up to about 50 members.
Toby moved for a vote and the proposal was approved, with 14 in favour, 3 against and 10 abstentions.
Alison Bexfield presented her report. Two years of accounts had been audited. Both showed an operating deficit with significant expenditure incurred on projects funded by past sponsorship income. Going forward, new sources of sponsorship were needed or other steps to balance the budget. She reminded tournament organisers to set realistic budgets.
Alison stepped down after 9 years as auditor. Jenny Radcliffe led the meeting in thanking her, and she was presented with a bottle of champagne by the president in recognition of her services.
There were no questions or comments. The accounts were approved nem con.
Several members asked if the accounts could be made available sooner. Council was hesitant to publish them online but agreed they could have been made available earlier in the Congress.
The accounts were approved nem con.

All candidates were elected unopposed.
Phil Beck was not able to attend.
|Council members
|Brian Brunswick
|John Collins
|Colin Maclennan
|Paul Smith
|Maria Tabor
All candidates were elected unopposed. Alan Thornton objected to Maria's election "on BBC grounds" (ie. that she was too young) but this was understood to be a joke.
Brian Brunswick, John Collins, Paul Smith, and Maria Tabor were not able to attend.
Covered under Treasurer's report.
Jon presented Council's proposed priorities for 2012, previously announced in the the British Go Journal (#158). The five priorities were:
Colin had been contacting clubs and had received many suggestions about what they wanted from the BGA. The club organisers handbook was being updated.
Council asked for members help on how the BGA could be more useful to online players. The website was being made the focus but there had not been much feedback.
Ways of attracting new people to Go were being considered. In particular, freshers events were promising.
Paul Smith (Youth Committee chair) was aiming to consolidate and focus on "living and breathing" clubs. Anyone interested in helping develop Go in schools and with under18s should contact Paul as he has many ideas but does not have enough time to follow them up alone.
The BGA aimed to encourage and nurture these players with a number of small initiatives including specific teaching and special tournaments.
David Cantrell thought more teaching days would be useful. Toby noted some funds were earmarked for grassroots development. Holding an event in Glasgow was mooted.
Edwin Brady wondered if the network of regional reps was relevant to organising events. Jon replied that the system had not been working well as sadly many regional reps had been very inactive and so this was now being run from the centre.
Combining teaching at tournaments was discussed. Reviewing games could be difficult due to the lack of game records.
Some Durham University members had found their home clubs very unwelcoming. Female members also felt uncomfortable going to some clubs. It was not obvious how to eliminate these problems but Council welcomed ideas.

David Birch:
A new way to stop identity theft
Bartenders need to know your age, retailers need your PIN, but almost no one actually needs your name — except for identity thieves. ID expert David Birch proposes a safer approach to personal identification — a "fractured" approach — that would almost never require your real name.

text: My bees need more space. The horizontal hive got another deep box - yes, oldtimer, they DO expand vertically when they wanted and have a chance! Horizontal part of the hive, which is not under the top boxes contains nectar and honey with some 1/2 done combs. The part, which was under the top box and top box itself were all brood! Now they got another deep box on top of the first one. These two deep boxes were checker-boarded with my new-design top bars (with the sides). Bees behaved extremely well, no head bumps at all! Another vertical hive just got another box with checker-boarding again. These girls were quite protective, which is great - it was a weak hive for while and now they feel more confident! I am posting some pictures of the frames from the deep horizontal hive. Mediums-vertical - beautiful comb, but we have already million of similar pictures above.

I was perhaps being a lil nitpicky but still had to ask why people were questioning his core strength specifically. It isn't a concern I see on tape.
For example I see a guy like Brewer who, from what limited time we have seen him play, has bad balance and lean I would question his core strength. That may not be the problem, it could just be a coordination issue, or coaching, or any number of other issues. But having technique like Pugh's demands a strong core.
I think the distinction you make there is a very fair 1 to make. His "natural strength" needs work. The term "core strength" is becoming a popular catch phrase for strength in general, but that is why I responded because they really are not the same thing at all.

[quote user="AsianGiant"][quote user="JerseyGiant21"][quote user="AsianGiant"]
Isn't it great watching other NY teams that just can't get it together? Jets/Mets? LOL....
Mangini would definitley be out if they lost against Chad. They prolly won't bring Brett back and they would just start fresh with a new QB and coaching staff....hey, maybe they can hire Wade Phillips!!
Imagine if the Jets went after Spags!
This is what I bet happens.....the Jets will win on Sunday....but they still won't make the playoffs because the Pats and the Ravens win....thus no wild card spot for them( I think that's the scenario)
Come Monday all hell breaks out
Yeah I was thinking about Spags too. I think he's smart enough to not go to the dysfunctional Jets organization. Everything that you're suppose to do right, they do the opposite. It's like they are cursed.
I mean, come on, Parcells was there and took off!! Then he practically GAVE the job to Belichick and he passed on it!! LOL...
I just hope that they don't fire Wade Phillips and hire Spags!!!
This is just the saddest situation. The jets have not won a SB, since the 1960's ????? WHO are these people that sit in their stands????!!!!

That team could have God x53 Gods for players, and they still manage to screw everything up. It is just sad and pitiful. (except that I am LOL as I type this. They just have the worst luck, and that coach is such a joke. All he does is stand like a statue and chew gum on the sidelines.)

Whereas Coach Coughlin makes me laugh my head off. A couple weeks ago, when McQuarters (I think it was), got a TD, out of the blue, Coach TC was flappin' his arms all over the place, like a duck that was in heat. THEN, TC started running down the field and I thought that he was going to outrun McQuarters. It was so funny, my belly hurts from laughing, just typing this and remembering how TC looked that Sunday. OMG, the guy is funny, and intensely passionate about the game & his players.

North Jersey chefs, cooks stress DIY recipes
Gus Nations of Teaneck saves carrot peels. And garlic peels. And onion peels. Not for a compost pile, but for his homemade stocks.
"I'm spending literally zero," said Nations, a chef at Le Gourmet Factory Cooking School in Englewood. "I'm getting a natural, no-preservative, no-junk product that otherwise would have ended up as garbage-can filler."
Nations knows what many home cooks don't but should: Many of the store-bought loaves of bread, boxes of pasta, cartons of stock, jars of pesto sauces and bottles of salad dressing can be made at home — for less time, fewer ingredients and fewer dollars.
"People don't realize how easy it is to make pesto," said Jo Marie Quinn, a co-owner and co-founder of the Ridgewood Culinary Studio. "They just go the easy route and go to the store and buy it." She added, "Once they realize how easy it is, it gives them a whole new perspective."
It can't get much easier than Nations' stock, though — unless it's his quick recipes for homemade pasta or bread (he says he hasn't bought them in a grocery store in years). As he cooks his family's meals, he saves what others would consider scraps — herb stems, vegetable peels, tomato pulp and seeds, chicken bones and celery leaves and stems — in a plastic bag until he's got enough to make a pot of stock. He'll cook the mixture in water for three to four hours, strain out the solids and end up with a "beautifully rich, full-flavored stock," which he'll then reduce to store in smaller quantities.
"I want it as fresh and natural as I can make," he said.
Which of course is a major advantage of DIY (do it yourself): you can choose the ingredients — fresh and healthy ingredients.
At the Ridgewood Culinary Studio, co-owners and co-founders Quinn and Nanci Gregory stress fresh ingredients in their classes — they suggest growing your own herbs — and hope the techniques they teach will catch on in their students' households. "If we teach them, their kids are going to see how their parents cook and it's going to trickle down," Quinn said.
The classes build on a "cook once, serve twice" mentality, Gregory said. "If you're making a sauce, then you just make double" and freeze the rest.
And you can make it at a much lower cost. Quinn and Gregory, for example, highlighted the price differences between making your own hummus and buying it. "My God, a can of beans is like a dollar nineteen," Gregory said. A tub of hummus? About $2.50 to $5.
DIY broths, sauces and marinades allow you to pick and choose the best ingredients and cook them to your own taste.
In Robert Paoli's kitchen, that's key.
"You have no control when you get it out of a box," said Paoli, a salesman and product specialist at Chef Central in Paramus. "I like to be able to control what I'm serving, and the way to do it is make it myself."
For example, Paoli calls store-bought guacamole costly and mushy, while what he makes "doesn't taste like paste in your mouth."
"You have to have the right ripe avocados," he added.
But having the best ingredients is only half the battle, Paoli said. At Chef Central, he often gets customers who lament their cooking skills. To that, he says keep trying — and taste often.
"You can do it, as long as you have the right attitude toward it."

"I've got some chiba."
by the devil made me do it January 20, 2003
aka chiva, from Spanish for a female goat. On the East Coast, Chiba means marijuana. This is from Caribbean Spanish. On the West Coast and some parts of the Midwest, Chiba means heroin. The latter comes from the Mexican Spanish.
I took a trip to San Pancho San Francisco and asked a Mexican dude (who seemed to be a pharmaceutical consultant) for some Chiba. He came back with a balloon filled with black tar heroin. I said I want cheeeba papi, porque no meto con esta meirda manteca. He said that what I was looking for was mota. I said "Gracias manito" and he replied, "Orale vato."

(n) Chiba is how retarded fucks spell the word cheeba. It is one of the better terms used to describe marijuana.
"Yeah I smoke cheeba, it helps me with my brain. I might be a little dusted but I'm not insane." - MCA
by Gloppy March 16, 2004
misheard, the actual word is chiva. chiva is heroin. cheeba is not a word, disregard any definitions of cheeba.

Apple Hires Veteran Hacker Who "Delayed Windows Vista"

Sender E-mail
Pickup should boost Apple's recently struggling security efforts
Malware authors, who are finally taking note of the company's operating system amid rising market share,
have of late victimized
Apple, Inc. (
). Amid struggles with malware -- mostly Trojans (programs that imitate real software or are carried by seemingly innocent webpages and trick users into installation) like
-- the company has been
scrutinized by security firms
who suggest it needs help, and a more proactive stance on plug-in patching.
highly profitable
computer and digital device maker made a key step in the right direction this week, though, hiring Kristin Paget (
formerly Chris Paget
), according to
a report
Ms. Paget seems a natural fit for Apple.
She has said in past interviews that she is a "total Unix head" (OS X is Unix-like) and dislikes Windows. And she's expressed an interest in hardware security. When she left Recursion Ventures, her security firm, in July she expressed a desire to move away from bug-finding.
Thus she may see her talents first applied to Apple's efforts to lock firmware hackers
like George "GeoHot" Hotz
out of Apple's iOS firmware. Since the launch of the iPhone, Apple has been largely
unable to stop such hackers
from defeating its digital rights management scheme (via jailbreaking) and its network locking (via unlocking). Apple has hired hackers in the past (
most notably "Comex"
) to try to shore up its firmware, but the efforts
have oft fizzled
The new recruit, though, could fare better as she brings a long history of eye-opening security exploits. In 2010 at DefCon hacker conference she set up a cell-phone intercepting station, a low-cost homebrew hardware setup that tricked towers into routing calls -- even encrypted ones -- through it, allowing conversations to be snooped on.
Kristin (formerly Chris) Paget led the bug finding hunt that helped dramatically improve the security of Windows Vista. [Image Source: Jean-Philippe Martin]
But Ms. Paget's most prestigious honor was delaying Windows Vista and in the process greatly improving its security. In 2006 she was hired by Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) to assist with the final development of Vista. According to recent speeches, which she gave after her five-year non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Microsoft expired in 2011; Microsoft had expected a clean bill of health when they brought her onboard.
Instead, she and her team found a wealth of bugs. She recalls, "We prevented a lot of bugs from shipping on Vista. I'm proud of the number of bugs we found and helped get fixed."
The bug hunt was so successful that it forced Microsoft to delay Windows Vista. Ms. Paget and her team received honorary shirts from Microsoft Vice President of Windows Development Brian Valentine that read: "I delayed Windows Vista."
Windows Vista is widely viewed as a turning point in Microsoft's security history, paving ground for later
"We do believe we have a moral responsibility to keep porn off the iPhone." -- Steve Jobs

Summer Break 2013: Double Portraits
Soak up contemporary art, culture, and performances.
Summer Break debuted at the Museum in 2013 as it's new contemporary art festival. Incorporating 10 continuous days of art, music, lectures, films, readings, workshops, and performances, the festival took inspiration from Arnold Newman: Masterclass. Happenings took place at the Museum and offsite at Helmuth Projects.
Taking cues from the Summer Salon Series, Summer Break explored themes present in Masterclass, while presenting contemporary art within the context of the Museum. The festival was accompanied by Double Portraits, an intervention into the Permanent Collection, which displayed contemporary works in the Museum's European galleries.
Works presented in Summer Break explored:
- Ways artists have used frameworks of pastiche to structure their work
- Strategies devised to subvert fame, or create infamy
- Ideas about how the constructions of fame affects and is affected by artists
- Strategies for creating environmental portraits
The 2013 program took root in Arnold Newman's strategy of making photographs based in the context of the sitter's environment and co-opting the specific style of visual artists to construct a portrait of them – a double portrait. Summer Break features projects exploring this authentic and reverential theme of pastiche as well as the construction of fame and infamy.

text: I have two strong frame hives, full of bees and brood. While replacing old bottom boards with screened ones last week, I observed a few mites in the hive, and some on the old bottom board. My question: Do I treat now or wait until after the honey flow? I know I won't be able to use my honey if I treat, but I don't want to lose the hives either. Any suggestions?

I'm in the market for a new daily driver, done a ton of research and formed a list of 4 rides with pros and cons for each.. but there are some reviewers out there that seem to be biased. Pretty much exhausted "expert" reviews, so I'm looking at various forums to see what real owners feel. I hope this goes better than the civic si forum thing did.
Looking at 2012/11 models. SI, MS3, GTI, WRX. The list of things I'm looking for are (in no particular order) safety, performance, reliability, MPG. Currently in a 00 civic, mpg and reliability are off the charts, but the drive is boring. I want more speed and handling, a reason to have fun in my car.
I'm a big fan of the look of the new WRX, the pure performance aspect, and the AWD. (live in WI, winter etc) Not so big of a fan of the MPG, or the price.. but at least with the WRX I feel like you're getting value. All in all I really like it, currently 1st on my list.
MS3 performance wise is awesome, and the price is right but the exterior is a mess, the mesh black/red seats are a disaster.. I really don't know if I could bring myself to drive it. Oh, no sunroof option either.. straw, meet camel etc.
The si is 4 stars as far as reliability/mpg/safety/price, but the exterior is bland, the interior is.. odd.. and performance wise it really doesn't bring much to the table. Plus when I made a post on an si forum similar to this one, I was instantly attacked by a few people for saying that things like mpg and reliability are as important as 0-60 times.. if that's the "normal" si owner I'm not sure I want to be one.
GTI has a fantastic interior/mpg, but from reviews and videos and such it isn't as quick as the MP3/WRX. Cost is high here too. Everyone says the shifter is amazing and it handles like a dream, but if I'm dropping 26-30 grand I don't want to feel like my car is underpowered.
So anyone own or driven these vehicles? Different opinions from what I've listed? How's the reliability on your WRX? Handling/interior quality on the WRX v GTI? (those 2 are at the top of my list, followed by the si then the MS3) How is the
distance driving on the WRX? I make a 5 hour trip 2-3 times a year, comfort would be a plus.

It's official: RDM-LAX flights to begin in June
REDMOND, Ore. - Marking the successful conclusion of years of effort, a fast pledge- and fund-raising effort in recent weeks, American Airlines announced Thursday it will offer nonstop service between Redmond and Los Angeles International Airport, starting June 12.
At a news conference Thursday morning at RDM, officials said the new service will operate daily using a 50-seat Bombardier CRJ-200 aircraft. It marks a restoration of RDM-LAX non-stop flights after Horizon ended its service a few years ago.
Thursday's announcement was made in conjunction with the Central Oregon Air Service Team (COAST), which includes representation from the city of Redmond, Redmond Chamber of Commerce, Redmond Economic Development Inc., Economic Development for Central Oregon (EDCO), and Central Oregon Visitors Association (COVA), who have been in negotiations with the airline for several months.
Leaders from both the public and private sectors were on hand for the event. Dale Morris, managing director of government affairs for American Airlines, was on hand for the celebratory announcement.
"We're delighted to provide service from Redmond and Eugene to our hub in Los Angeles," said Charles Schubert, American's vice president for network planning. "This schedule will give customers seamless access to Los Angeles and allow them to connect through this key international gateway to destinations throughout the American Airlines and oneworld® global network."
Daily flights from Redmond to LA will depart at 8:10 a.m. and arrive at LAX at 10:25 a.m. Return flights will leave LAX at 6:50 p.m. and arrive in Redmond at 8:55 p.m.
By way of background, RDM submitted a Department of Transportation Small Community Air Service Development Program (SCASDP) grant in June 2012 and enlisted local support from EDCO, COVA and the Redmond Chamber to develop a public-private partnership.
The application was so compelling, the airport was notified in September 2012 of the approval of a $500,000 grant to secure direct air service to Southern California. The COAST team worked diligently to meet with potential air carriers, and these efforts resulted in keen interest from American Airlines.
"This service would not be possible without the support of the local community," stated Redmond Airport Director Kim Dickie. "We received over 150 letters of local support when we applied for the SCASDP grant. The City of Redmond and the Airport are very excited to see a new carrier providing service to the community and re-instating service to LAX."
"The new American Airlines nonstop flight between RDM and LAX helps strengthen Central Oregon's economy by dramatically shortening the time required to connect residents for business purposes," said Roger Lee, executive director of EDCO. "We're very pleased with the enthusiastic response we've received — across the board — from the region in supporting the Airline Travel Bank and revenue guarantee."
"The nonstop jet service from LAX to RDM is vital to COVA's development of inbound tourism markets to Central Oregon," stated Alana Hughson, CEO of the Central Oregon Visitors Association. "COVA will spend significant resources marketing in Southern California, and it is a win-win for Central Oregon to have this new route sustained by both outbound and inbound travel."
Lee noted that over 123 participants contributed to the Airline Travel Bank, generating a total commitment of $392,500 in pre-paid travel. Most participants will receive their account numbers by mail this Friday and Saturday, so they are able to book travel when it appears on the American schedule over the weekend.
Lee, Hughson and Dickie remarked that widespread support of the new service was evidenced by the revenue guarantee provided to American Airlines, to which every city and county in the region contributed.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Mar. 8, 2013
Computer Science Symposium Attracts More Than 75 Participants
RIC students Jose Fuentes, Shaylin Gruslin, Nathan Heng and Travis Quantmeyer organized the Rhode Island College Computing Undergraduate Research Symposium, which was designed to foster greater undergraduate interest and scholarship in computing and to bring computer science students together to share their work.
It was the first student-organized computer science conference ever hosted by Rhode Island College, said Kathryn Sanders, RIC professor of computer science, who assisted in the planning and invited the keynotespeaker, Andries van Dam, founder of the Computer Science Department at Brown University.
In his address, "Reflections on 50 Years of Working with CS Undergraduates," van Dam explained the importance of curiosity in research. He said research requires a desire to know more about a particular field, and to go beyond just doing what is assigned. He also spoke of the substantial contributions students have made to computer science research, including a recent project of his own students – an art gallery that allows users to see and explore very large two-dimensional objects on an innovative touchscreen interface.
Following the keynote, students took the helm during the symposium, presenting their research and posters to their peers.
RIC student Michael Blais presented a project on flowcharts, depicting how a computer program functions. RIC student Levbert Leger's project was called ITAP, an interactive teacher assessment program, which allows students to use their Android devices to instantly respond to questions sent from their professors.
Bridgewater State University students Matthew Ahrens, Chis Gracia and Andrew Seremetis designed a tutorial method called PAL to help students better grasp the concepts they are learning. Adam Stankiewicz and Matt St. Jarre from the University of Hartford developed a new system called TrACE that allows students to watch and discuss online lectures with each other without interrupting the lecture.
Quantmeyer, who was both organizer of the symposium and a presenter, created an application for a mobile device that gives a map of the RIC campus, weather and directions to the campus. Another RIC student, Dan Langston, described 3-D printing as "the new face of printmaking" and presented products he created using this method. Other presentations were given by students from the University of Rhode Island and the University of Hartford.
The symposium also included a panel discussion about graduate school, in which students were able to learn about the graduate school application process and eligibility requirements, as well as ask questions about financial aid, GPAs, GRE scores and exams.
"The symposium was a huge success," said Sanders. "The goal was to bring in 40 to 50 people. I was surprised and delighted to have more than 75 people registered from seven different colleges and universities."
Everyone who completed exit surveys after the program agreed that RIC should hold another computer symposium next year, Sanders said. "Students also reported a new understanding of what research is all about and excitement about the cool things you can do through research," she said.
Given such strong demand, and the overwhelmingly positive exit survey, Sanders and her students have already begun discussions about organizing a similar event for next year.
