To thrive, children need warm, loving attention. This attention is built on the amount of time parents and children spend together, and the quality of that time. Quality time is when you're physically and emotionally present with your child.
Work can get in the way of spending enough time – and enough quality time – with your child.
Obviously, long hours at work leave less time to spend with your child. Also, work can have a way of contaminating the time you spend with your children. If you're stressed about work, or tired, worried and frustrated, you might be at home, but your mind can really still be at work.
Children, even young children, notice when you're not really paying attention to them. This is bound to happen sometimes. But when it happens a lot, children's feelings about themselves can be affected.
It's usually 'full-on' in a household at the end of a work day, and your children might not give you time and space you'd like to switch from work to home mode. As soon as they see you, they want to tell you all the news of the day:
Younger children, including babies and toddlers who can't yet tell you what they need, are often tired, grumpy or hungry by the time you're all home at the end of the day. They want attention in the form of cuddles and comforting physical contact.
And children can have bad days too, perhaps at day care or school. It helps if you know when this happens so you're ready for the fall-out.
Here are some ideas to help you really leave work behind and be present with your child:
It would be great if you could always leave your concerns behind and be the 'perfect' parent. It would also be great if children were always cheerful and concerned more about your wellbeing than their own. Unfortunately, life's not usually like that.
There will be times when the balance between work and family demands is upset. For example, your child might be sick, you might be working night shifts, you might need to travel for work, or a project might need longer hours. Good strong family relationships can help you all get through trying times.
There's no universal formula for work-family balance. You, your situation and your relationship with your child are unique. You need to take into account your energy level, personality and parenting style, as well as your child's needs. With realistic expectations, you're likely to find ways to create a good balance that works in the long term for you and for your child.
Some work situations make it harder to give your child the kind of loving attention you want to give. These might include:
Research shows that stress, heavy workloads and unpleasant social interactions at work can make you anxious and more stressed at the end of the day. This can interfere with your ability to pay attention to your child when you get home.
At the end of a stressful day at work, both mothers and fathers are likely to withdraw, to be distant and remote. The research also shows that fathers who have distressing social interactions at work might be more negative, less involved and more punitive towards their child.
Working long hours might mean that you get home after your children are in bed, or that you leave before they wake up. You might hardly see them during the week. If you bring work home, you might have less time to focus on your child.
Sometimes you might feel like telling stories about your work at home – unfortunately, even a terrific success at work is likely to be less interesting to your child than a game of hide-and-seek or a special book before bed. Most children want to focus on their day, not yours.

Our classes generally have fewer than 25 students, faculty advise students from day one until graduation, and we proudly support nationally competitive debate, forensics and mock trial teams. Students have opportunities to apply their knowledge and hone their communication skills by participating in our internship program, research practicums, study abroad experiences or student clubs.
The communication studies faculty includes scholars trained at the best doctoral programs and coaches from the top-ten ranked programs in the country. Our faculty members are known for their excellence in the classroom while also conducting original research.

Couldnt live without!
I was prescribed Cholacol® II by Standard Process by my chiropractor last year for digestion. It eases my gallbladder and stomach upset. I take it whenever my meal has any fat in it. I have a difficult time digesting pills normally because of medications I take Cholacol® II causes no problems only helps me. I would highly recommend!

Relieves scalp psoriasis
A homoeopathic doctor told me to use Cholacol II by Standard Process for my painful scalp psoriasis since my gall bladder removal. It started about 6 mos before my gangrenous gallbladder removal and persisted afterwards. My hair was horrible as well as painful scalp issues without relief from any Dr cream pill or lotion for 16 years. These supplements rid these issues for me. When I stop taking them my flare up begins again. No coincidence here. I hope this helps someone else out there. PureFormulas is one of the only places I can get Cholacol II. Thank-you for carrying Cholacol II.
My painful tight scalp blistering scabs and flakes are relieved or stop altogether with Cholacol II. My hair is fuller healthier and my scalp is healthier as well.

When would a person take this product, as opposed to the other "Cholacol" product (without the II)? I see one has the bentonite clay and one does not. Thank you!A

Thank you for reaching out to us, Shelley. This is a question that your trusted healthcare practitioner would need to answer. They would be able to give you the best response possible since they'd be familiar with your needs.

We're lucky to have the time to worry about the self-esteem of our children or the discrepancy between the size of our childhood fantasy home and our current urban shanty. While of course we calibrate our problems and react to them according to the world we actually occupy there's something to be said for perspective.

Blank Wedding Invitations
Blank Wedding Invitations, Themes, Designs
FAQs - Blank Wedding InvitationsAsk Us A Question
What are Printable Invitations?
When we term our invitations or other stationery "printable", it simply means that they are blank, and are designed to be printed at home or taken to a printer. To make our invitations convenient for you to print at home, all of our items have free Word printing templates and instructions available for download right on the product page.
What Are Some Of The Benefits Of Printing Your Own Invitations At Home?
Number one, you have the freedom of personal creativity -- you're basically doing it at your own leisure. You're getting others involved: family members, friends, relatives. The bottom line is that it is also a cost-savings measure in my mind. For years I worked for a major social thermography invitation printer and know what professional printed invitations are. I can say from firsthand experience that it is much more costly to order professionally printed invitations vs. taking on the task of printing your own invitations at home. The cost to print your own invitations is really personal time and whatever consumables might use on their printers
Is Anyone Capable Of Printing At Home?
Do we think that it's an easy task? We feel quite strongly that it is and if we didn't, we probably wouldn't be in this business. I've consulted with many people on the phone and guided them through the process of setting up a custom document, how to feed the paper through finally printing the final piece. More often than not they are simply amazed at the quality and simplicity of doing this at home.
Do You Need Special Equipment, Training Or Software?
As far as special needed equipment goes, nothing really. The basics would be a computer, quality printer, and the ability to work with a word processing or design application. Microsoft Word seems to be one of the most common applications used, and if someone is versed in using Microsoft Word, they will be able of set up a custom sized document for home printing.
Is LCI Here To Assist In The Printing Process
One of the nice things about LCI is that not only are we here to sell wedding invitation paper for people to print on their own, but we're here to assist them on how to go about doing it. We do that in the form of resource content that we put on our website & blog such as how-to printing videos, or free downloadable print templates etc. Additionally, our in house staff and designers have experience creating custom invitation ensembles and printing on those invitations. They are here to help those who call and are interested in doing it on their own.
Any Suggestions For First Time People Considering Printing Their Invitations At Home?
Take your time to format and layout your invitation by making good choices for type styles and type sizes. Oftentimes the selection of font and layout can really make all the difference in the world. It's a good idea to have other people proofread your work. Ask them for their comments on design, have them check for spelling and punctuation. And finally, before the actual printing takes place, I typically suggest people print test samples first by cutting cheap paper to the size of the invitation, and use that for setup purposes. Look at the printed test samples to make sure that the formatting comes out printed the way you want. When you're finally happy with the sample results, and how it's printed, and the color of ink choice, then you're ready to use your quality invitation paper.
What Common Concerns Do Customers Have In The Home Printing Process?
When printing their own invitations I would say one of the biggest concerns is, will the cards print on my printer? That particular concern is a tough question for us to answer, because we can only give first-hand knowledge based on the experience that we've had with the printers we tested. We have tested a handful of home printers sold in today's market, but there are too many out there to test them all. On our website, we indicate whether a particular stock or envelope is suitable for laser printing or inkjet printing, or neither in some cases. In most cases however the paper will be suitable for one or the other. There are some invitation papers we sell that are quite heavy, textured or coated that we do not recommend printing on them using home printers. Such papers are geared toward offset presses, letterpress or other conventional printing techniques. Do not discount the use of these papers when making your invitations because many are beautiful complimentary papers used for invitation layers, backer cards or accents. Since we don't always know why someone is purchasing a particular paper stock, we try and help them along the way by giving them as much useful information as possible about printability and design ideas
With the benefits of home printing, you can take full credit for the beautiful invitations you make yourself. So save yourself some money and the stress of professional printing, and print your own invitations at home!
Is it helpful to use invitation software to print my own invitations?
If you are planning on printing your own invitations you will need to use some type of invitation, page layout, or word processing software. You can choose from more general word processing packages such as Microsoft Word or select a software package designed specifically for printing invitations.
Do the card stocks on layered wedding invitation kits come pre glued?
No, each of the components (card stocks & vellums) of our layered invitation kits arrive to you unattached. Our website shows the assembled invitations to help our visitors get a feel for the look they can create.
What adhesive will you use to adhere the layers? Whether you want to use something as commonly available as a school glue is up to you. Or you can browse our selection of specialty adhesives that may give your invitation a more professional appearance.
Although we show some layered kits with decorative clips or adhesive bows, usually these are only suggestions. Please feel free to customize the invitations in any method that you desire.

Sehr nette Gastgeberin, sehr gute Lage der Wohnung in der Nähe des Gare de Lyon. Trotz Sprachbarriere (mein Schulfranzösisch ist leider stark eingerostet ;) ) hat die Wohnungsübergabe gut funktioniert. In der Wohnung ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Danke Violeta für Ihre Gastfreundschaft.
très satisfaits du service.
Accueil très agréable de Violetta. L'appartement correspond très bien à sa description. Il est très propre et bien équipé. Sa situation est très pratique, dans un quartier vivant, très proche de Bastille.
Wir haben 9 Tage in dieser hübschen kleinen Wohnung gewohnt. Der Komfort ist gut und ausreichend. Es war alles vorhanden und sauber. Unserer Gastgeberin Violeta, hat uns auch noch mit einer 2 Decke und einem Fön ausgeholfen. Alles ganz unkompliziert und besonders der Empfang war sehr herzlich.
Die Wohnung liegt sehr günstig für Ausflüge. Mit der Metro ist man in 20 Minuten am Louvre. Vom Gare d´Este fährt eine Bahn direkt bis nach Fontainebleau .
Bäcker und kleiner Supermarkt sind gleich um die Ecke. Dennoch ist die Wohnung sehr ruhig gelegen, was uns besonders gefallen hat. Violeta hat ihre persönlichen Sachen mit in der Wohnung. Wen das nicht stört, für den ist diese Wohnung ein idealer Anlaufpunkt für 2 Personen in der wunderschönen Stadt Paris.
Vielen Danke Violeta und hoffentlich bis bald. Kim und Rainer aus Dresden
We stayed 9 days in this pretty little apartment. The comfort is good and sufficient. Everything was available and clean. Our hostess Violeta has also helped us out with a second blanket and a hair dryer. All very simple and especially the welcome was very warm.
The apartment is conveniently located for excursions. By Metro you are in 20 minutes at the Louvre. From Gare d'Este, a train runs directly up to Fontainebleau.
Bakery and small supermarket just around the corner. Nevertheless, the apartment is very quiet, which we loved. Violeta has her personal belongings with in the apartment. If that does not bother, this apartment is an ideal starting point for 2 people in the beautiful city of Paris. Thank you Violeta and we love to come back. Kim and Rainer from Dresden

Item: NMD007
1 Kit
Bottle Kit Contains:
Directions for Use:
Step 1
Please wash your hands. Fill the clean bottle with the designated volume of warm distilled water, filtered water or previously boiled water. You may warm the water in a microwave but we recommend that you warm it in increments of five seconds. This is to avoid excessive heating of the water and damage to the device or scalding your nasal passage.
Step 2
Cut the SINUS RINSE™ mixture packet at the corner and pour its contents into the bottle. Tighten the cap & tube on the bottle securely, place one finger over the tip of the cap and shake the bottle gently to dissolve the mixture.
Step 3
Standing in front of a sink, bend forward to your comfort level and tilt your head down. Keeping your mouth open without holding your breath, place cap snugly against your nasal passage and SQUEEZE BOTTLE GENTLY until the solution starts draining from the OPPOSITE nasal passage or from your mouth. Keep squeezing the bottle GENTLY until at least 1/4 to 1/2 (60 to 120 mL) of the bottle is used for a proper rinse. Do not swallow the solution.
Step 4
Blow your nose gently, without pinching your nose completely because this will apply pressure on the eardrums. If tolerable, sniff in any residual solution remaining in the nasal passage once or twice prior to blowing your nose as this may clean out the posterior nasopharyngeal area (the area at the back of your nasal passage). Some solution will reach the back of the throat, so please spit it out. To help improve drainage of any residual solution, blow your nose gently while tilting your head to the opposite side of the nasal passage that you just rinsed.
Step 5
Now repeat steps 3 & 4 for your other nasal passage.
WARNINGS: DO NOT RINSE IF NASAL PASSAGE IS COMPLETELY BLOCKED OR IF YOU HAVE AN EAR INFECTION OR BLOCKED EARS. If you have had ear surgery, please contact your physician prior to irrigation. If you experience any pressure in the ears, stop the rinse and get further directions from your physician or contact our office during regular business hours. Do not rinse if your nasal passage is completely blocked, however, you may rinse with a partially blocked nasal passage. You may also consider discussing the use of Sinuflo® ReadyRinse™ with your doctor. Sinuflo® ReadyRinse™ bottle and mixture are to be used only for nasal irrigation. Please do not use for any other purposes. Please rinse ONE HOUR PRIOR to bedtime, in order to avoid any residual solution dripping in the throat. We strongly advise against the use of our kit by children or adults who have reduced comprehension. Patients who are unable to stand up or bend near the sink SHOULD NOT use this product. We advise you NOT to use this kit on patients who are bed bound or severely debilitated. Adults need to understand the procedure first before using it on their children. We recommend that you use this product only on children who are above five years of age. The procedure is the same for all ages. If your child is less than five years old, you should consult your child's physician before using this product.
CAUTION: Rinsing your nasal passages with only PLAIN WATER will result in a severe burning sensation. Please do not rinse with plain water.

For God so loved…..He gave!
Can you imagine what it's like to spend considerable time contacting people via phone, e-mail, snail mail, and face-to-face in order to invite them to participate in an opportunity to give "over and above" for a ministry or special cause? I know, a lot of folks would shy away (maybe run away) from such a task.
Since recently assuming the role of president of the North American Baptist Foundation, I've engaged in this task on a regular basis. Let me give you two examples of how blessed I've been in connecting with NABers across the country.
Example #1: A faithful NAB congregation encountered difficult financial straits. They found they needed to forego a commitment they'd made to support a new missionary appointee to an NAB mission field.
I recently sent a newsletter to our North American Baptist churches, sharing some of the current struggles in Nigeria and asking for your prayers for the Hungs as they settle into their new ministry in Gembu. Since the time of that letter there have been a number of significant events among key staff of the seminary and hospital.
You may have heard of the tragic accident that took the lives of both provost and deputy provost of the seminary as they were traveling together. The seminary has appointed an interim provost, Mr. Godwill Sol, to lead the school through this difficult season.
NORTH AMERICAN BAPTIST CONFERENCE WEEKLY UPDATES—July 05, 2011
The summer is in full swing for the North American Baptist Conference family! This month our young people will gather in masses at YG '11 in Southern California. PRAY that God will move mightily.
One year from now we'll meet in Orlando for the NAB 50th Triennial. We have a great price at the beautiful Peabody Hotel.

Pankaj Ghemawat:
Actually, the world isn't flat
It may seem that we're living in a borderless world where ideas, goods and people flow freely from nation to nation. We're not even close, says Pankaj Ghemawat. With great data (and an eye-opening survey), he argues that there's a delta between perception and reality in a world that's maybe not so hyperconnected after all.

A qb can be elite from game to game, was Rodgers last game "elite"? How about Payton's three pick performance earlier in the year? The different things that play into each of those games and the outcomes also are rarely taken into consideration. Against the Steelers our line could do barely anything to stop the pressure from getting to Manning. You commented somewhere about the int he threw right into the arms of the linebacker in the Washington game, it is really impossible to know why he did not see the player there, throwing lanes not being open, under pressure, the play breaking down, it could be any multiple of things. Im not making an excuse for the throw or the outcome, bad decision to throw it, but I am saying that to just lay the blame on the fact that he did not see him is really not looking at the play fully. I don't really care if people think Eli is elite or not, but I do think that when he has beaten some of the best qbs in the game on the biggest stages multiple times, that a good amount of credit is due.
Eli is SOOOOOO much better then Phil was.
Is Eli *the* best QB ever? No, certainly not.
Is he "elite"? Subjective to be sure, but I believe he is.
Does Phil have sour grapes? Maybe a bit.
Does Phil throw up controversial talking points like this to keep his name relevant like almost any other analyst and commentator? Definitely.
Ironically, in 20 years, you'll be talking about Eli in the same manner you're talking about Simms now, and decrying (for "realists" sake) the hot new kid on the block.
I'm on to you!

Preparing for the OSCP exam (again)
So I've been preparing for the OSCP exam again. It's been a while ago since I failed it. Also haven't been doing any security related work/studies for a long time until recently.
The past 2 weeks I've been working on the De-Ice disks and pwnOS. I've just penetrated the last machine today (finally).
I've been going over the course materials again and watching the video's. The problem is, I'm not learning anything new, and I don't feel ready for re-taking the exam.
I mainly have issues with time management and spending too much time going the wrong direction (especially on the exam). I understand all the materials so that isn't a problem.
I'm concerned that when I'm retaking the exam I'll try to spend too much time on a service that seems vulnerable at first, but isn't the way to penetrate the box.
Anyone knows how I can practice some more? I'm thinking about downloading old programs with known exploits and try to attack those installed on a VM. I want my OSCP title lol!

Procedures for Use in Appealing Allegedly Capricious Semester Grades of Undergraduate Students
The following procedures are available only for review of alleged capricious grading, and not for review of the judgment of an instructor in assessing the quality of a student's work. Capricious grading, as that term is used herein, is limited to one or more of the following:
- The assignment of a grade to a particular undergraduate student on some basis other than performance in the course.
- The assignment of a grade to a particular undergraduate student by more exacting or demanding standards than were applied to other equivalent undergraduate students in that section.
- The assignment of a grade by a substantial departure from the instructor's standards announced during the first fourth of the term.
The Right of Fair and Equal Evaluation of Students
The assessment of the quality of a student's academic performance is one of the major professional responsibilities of university faculty members and is solely and properly their responsibility. It is essential for the standards of the academic program at Saint Louis University and the integrity of the degrees conferred by this university that the professional judgments of faculty members not be subject to pressures or other interference from any source.
It is necessary, however, that any semester grade be based on evidence of the student's performance in a course, that the student have access to the evidence, that the instructor be willing to explain the basis upon which the grade was determined, and that a grade be determined in accordance with announced guidelines. These guidelines should be announced sometime during the first one-fourth of the term.
Appeal Procedures
A student who believes a semester grade is capricious may seek clarification in writing within six months after the final grade has been assigned by the instructor, and where appropriate, redress as follows:
- The student shall confer with the instructor, informing the instructor of questions concerning the grade and seeking to understand fully the grounds and procedures the instructor has used in determining the grade. The aim of such a conference is to reach mutual understanding about the grade.
- If after consultation with the instructor the student believes that a grade is capricious, the student will confer with the Chair of the Department in which the course was offered. The Chair will consult with the instructor and the student separately or together in an attempt to reach a resolution of the matter. If the matter is not resolved at this level, the Chair will convene an intra-departmental grade review committee consisting of the Chair and two faculty members. The student's written appeal request will be considered and the instructor will also respond to the student's petition in writing. The grade review committee will also interview both the instructor and the student; and subsequently, the committee will recommend either that the grade was not assigned capriciously and shall stand or that the grade may have been assigned capriciously and the matter merits further consideration. The recommendation of the departmental grade review committee will be communicated to the student, the instructor, and the Dean by the Departmental Chair.
- If the matter has not been resolved to the satisfaction of the student and the instructor, either may petition the Dean to convene an ad hoc grade review subcommittee to consist of two faculty members of the College of Arts & Sciences from outside of the instructor's department and the Dean of or his or her representative.
This subcommittee shall recommend to the Dean either that the grade should stand, or that it should be changed; and shall notify both the student and the instructor of its recommendation. The Dean shall then render a decision and notify all parties of his or her action. [A written record should be kept at all stages of the appeal process.]
Protection of the Instructor's Rights
The decision of a grade review subcommittee will neither be used as a cause for any disciplinary action nor dismissal of a tenured faculty member or a non-tenured faculty member before the expiration of a contract period. Nor shall a decision, by itself, be a basis for any other disciplinary action. Any disciplinary actions shall be in accordance with regular university procedures. All evidence considered by a grade review subcommittee shall be made available to any body which may be considering disciplinary action concerning an instructor whose grading has been found by a grade review subcommittee to be capricious. That body shall make an independent determination based upon its own consideration of all evidence, irrespective of the findings of the grade review subcommittee.

Employment of Foreign Nationals
Policy Information
- Issue Date: June 1, 1994
- Primary Contact: Director of Human Resources
- Responsible Member of Directorate: President and Director
- Responsible Office: Human Resources
ContentsPolicy Information
OverviewI. Hiring Foreign Nationals:
A. In order to comply with state and Federal regulations regarding the employment of non-United States citizens it is important to determine that each foreign national employed at the Institution has a visa which permits employment or has been granted permission to work by the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Visas must be obtained by the prospective candidates for employment before they enter the United States. Departments should be aware of time delays in processing paperwork through the INS, and plan accordingly. Federal law prohibits the hiring or employment of illegal aliens. Any employer who violates this law is subject to a fine.
B. Forms, applications, and additional information regarding visas for foreign nationals can be obtained from the Human Resources Representative. The International Students' Advisor in the Office of the Dean for Student Affairs, Room 3-107, M.I.T. offers similar services for admission of foreign students.
II. Visa Categories:
A. Non-Immigrant Visas. The non-immigrant visas most frequently obtained by the Institution's foreign national visitors are:
1. J-1 Exchange Visitors
- A J-1 visa is issued to a participant in an exchange Visitor Program approved by the U.S. Information Agency, intended to foster international exchange in the arts and sciences. Participants can be in one of a variety of categories, including research scholar or short-term scholar.
- The maximum stay permitted is three years, normally in one-year increments. J-1 visa holders may be supported by the Institution, by their own government, by an international organization or by other sources.
- To obtain a J-1 visa from an American Consulate or Embassy, the foreign national needs an IAP-66 form from the Institution. These IAP-66 forms are completed by the Human Resources Representative at the request of the hiring/sponsoring department.
- In general, some J-1 holders are subject to a two-year foreign residence requirement, requiring them to return home following the expiration of the J-1. It is possible to petition for another immigrant status within the United States, although there is no guarantee that the petition will be approved.
- Exchange visitors are required to have medical insurance in effect for themselves and any accompanying spouses and dependents on "J" Visas.
- Student visas can be issued to individuals who have been accepted for full-time study by a U.S. institution of learning. Once a foreign student has completed all course requirements toward that degree, he/she is eligible to apply for a period of "practical training". To do so, an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) should be obtained from the INS via the student's college or university. The F-1 student is eligible for a maximum of 12 months of practical training; the J-1 student is eligible for a maximum of 18 months of practical training.
- Both F-1 and J-1students may apply for practical training 90 days in advance of receiving their degrees through the foreign student office at the university where their degree is to be granted. The foreign student office then submits the application to the INS for approval. Most Immigration offices have considerable backlogs and the response to an approval of this type of application may be considerably delayed. Departments, therefore, should make every effort to urge prospective employees to apply for this permission at least 60 days in advance of the proposed date of employment.
- An H-1B visa is a temporary work permit and is issued to those eligible professionals distinguished in their fields who come to the United States as bona fide employees. Institution sponsorship for this visa status is generally limited to supporting scientific and technical staff positions, on a temporary basis.
- To obtain H-1 visa status, an application is submitted by the Institution and approved by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The application, which is submitted by the Human Resources Administrator includes a petition form, an endorsement letter from the Institution, original documents indicating the visitor's highest degree, a curriculum vitae, and a filing fee payable to the Institution's Immigration Attorney. A Labor Condition Attestation must be filed by the Institution and approved by the Department of Labor before an H-1B visa petition may be filed with the INS.
- Since there are delays in processing these applications, allow at least three to four months before the individual intends to arrive in the United States. When the petition has been approved, notice is sent by INS to the American Consulate or Embassy where the visitor will apply for the visa to the Institution.
- Permission to remain in the United States on an H-1 visa is limited to a six year total. The H-1 is usually approved for an initial period of three years and can be extended for an addition three years.
1.The following is a brief guide regarding other non-immigrant visas and whether individuals holding them are authorized to work:
- F-2 = Spouse or dependents of an F-1 student - No employment permitted
- J-2 = Exchange Visitor spouse or dependents - Employment permitted if INS issues an EAD
- H-4= Spouse or dependents of H-1, H-2, H-3 - No employment permitted
C. Immigrant Visas (Permanent Residence)
1.Some individuals are able to immigrate on the basis of their relationship to a United States citizen or a permanent resident. Others wish to immigrate on the basis of their employment at the Institution. The Institution handles only those applications to immigrate which are based on employment at the Institution.
2.The Institution's policy guidelines are in accordance with regulations set down by the Immigration and Naturalization Service and pertain to permanent residency petitions for foreign nationals employed by the Institution.
- It is the Institution's position that the INS criteria of eligibility is most appropriately defended at the Scientific Staff level. Scientific Staff seeking Institution sponsorship of permanent residency petitions should make their requests known through, and with the endorsement of, their Department Chairs to the Director of Research. The document process for permanent residency submission normally takes more than the initial appointment year and will include the first year performance evaluation.
- The Institution will provide financial, administrative and legal assistance in support of the petition. Institution employees, particularly those with hiring authority, are reminded that the petitioner of the permanent residency petition is the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
- It is Institution policy to not sponsor permanent residency petitions for members of the Technical, Administrative and Graded Staff unless there are special circumstances surrounding a particular employee.
length of time can be from 12 to 24 months.
III. After Arrival at WHOI
A. Once the foreign national
has arrived at the Institution it is important to determine that
all necessary documents to
remain and work in the United States are in order. Non-immigrants are to present a passport, visa, and I-94 form (arrival - departure record) at the Human Resources Office. A record is made of the expiration date on each of the above and information useful to new arrivals regarding the Institution and Immigration Service procedures is explained. A copy of the I-94 form is retained in the Human Resources Office in the individual's immigration file.
B. Immigrants are to
present a "green card", form I-151 or I-551, to the Human Resources
Office. This is the
registration form for those who were admitted to the United States as immigrants while in the United States.
C. The salaries of all
foreign nationals employed by the Institution, with the exception
of those holding F-1 and J-1
visas, are subject to F.I.C.A. (Social Security) tax. Those employees receiving taxable and/or reportable income must
provide the Institution with a social security number, which should be obtained from the local Social Security
Administration Office.
D. Foreign nationals
are advised that they may be eligible for exemption from income
tax withholding based on a
reciprocal tax treaty between their country and the United States. Individuals are referred to the Payroll Office to
determine if their particular type of employment is eligible for such an exemption.

An accident Thursday at Entergy's Nelson Plant in Westlake left a worker injured, officials said.
A contractor performing scheduled maintenance fell "within a confined space," Entergy spokesperson Chip Arnould said in a news release.
Arnould said the worker was transported to a medical facility, but said he could not release details of his condition.
Maintenance was suspended while the incident was investigated, Arnould said.

2010 California US Senator Race
Original post made by Paul Losch, a resident of Palo Alto, on Jan 15, 2010
Former HP CEO Carly Fiorina and someone with whom I am not familiar from Southern California also have their "hats in the ring." The GOP primary winner will vie against 2 term incumbent Barbara Boxer for the seat.
I have never been a fan of Boxer, and I am of the opinion that she won her two previous campaigns due as much to weak opponents as her qualifications. What she has going for her at this point is she has enough experience and seniority that she actually now has some clout on Capitol Hill. That may or may not be enough to get her re-elected, but it also depends on who her opponent is.
Campbell clearly is well-qualified, and is a moderate Republican, a scarce species in California these days. That may work to his disadvantage in the primary, since the GOP has a pretty conservative bent these days. It could be the guy who has the best chance of winning against Boxer never gets past the primary.
I don't know why Carly Fiorina thinks she is eligible for this office. She was at best a questionable CEO at HP, and after making some ill advised remarks in the 2008 election when she was an advisor to the McCain campaign, she was not heard from again. She also recently has had some health problems. But, like Meg Whitman and Steve Poizner, she has plenty of her own money that she appears willing to spend on her campaign, so we likely will have a highly visible Carly on the airwaves, print press and on line.
I don't know anything about the guy from Socal, I believe he is in eiher the State Assembly or State Senate. If I have that right, my hunch he is cut out of the conservative cloth that personifies the California GOP these days. This has appeal in a primary, but is likely the kiss of death in a general election. (He is facing the opposite challenge that Campbell does.) I welcome anyone who knows more about him to post something on this thread. It will help me and anyone else reading this get a better understanding of who the guy is.
I don't know who Boxer ultimately will be running against. If it is Campbell, there is a chance he will get my vote. But, I may find myself holding my nose and voting for Boxer, due to her incumbency and my concerns about our US Senate coming to a grinding halt if the Republicans gain enough seats to filibuster. The Dems need to retain 60 or more seats in order to avoid that situation.
I am amazed that a state as formidable as California cannot provide the electorate better candidates for these important offices. Maybe the truly capable just cannot be bothered--they have better things to do with their time and energy.

Correction and update--Senator Boxer has been in office for 3 terms, 18 years, not 2 terms as I wrote above.
Her first opponent was conservative TV commentator Bruce Hershenson, sort of Glenn Beck of his day
Matt Fong ran against her in 1998
Bill Jones, who was CA Secretary of State at the time, was defeated by Boxer in 2004

Modern corporatism is todays Neo-Fascism, a much deadlier and more ruthless strain than the old one. The notion that any sane Californian, even a Republican who hasn't been whacked out of his mind by Limbaugh and Beck stupidity would wish to see a corporatist in Sacramento is shocking and horrifying.

I worked at Stanford Law School when Tom Campbell was a professor there. Don't throw him in the pile with the reputation of the conservative Republicans. He is a good person, wants to help, and I remember his lecture regarding arrogance where he stated to the Stanford law school students to always treat everyone equally. "Say hello to the janitor" he advised, because he is a person too and no one is better than another.

Sharon--you forgot this part of the story in your zeal to trumpet potential troubles for the Democrats:
"There are, however, key differences in party demographics in the two states. While Massachusetts Democrats hold a 3-to-1 registration lead over Republicans, more than half of that state's voters are registered independent.
In California, 45 percent of registered voters are Democrats, 31 percent Republicans, and 20 percent decline to state.
Boxer, unlike Coakley, has run three Senate races - and her office said Monday that she had raised more money than ever in the fundraising period that ended in December. (The figures are to be released today.)"

Barbara Boxer fairly represents the generic liberal attitudes of the majority of Californians. Her problem may be that liberalism is no longer seen as an engine of economic growth in California. I am a liberal, and have lived my entire life in California. I am 62 years of age, and I have never seen the level of worry about jobs, as I see now.
We might be in for a sea change, and the MA results, with Brown, could be a harbinger of it.

The voters are unhappy and the democratic con job and Boxer is next.
This tax rip-off is coming to an end of an era.
Now the republicans are not any better as we have seen here in Kommiefornia were the one party system continues to steal our money. And deliver less and less.
But come November 2011 it will be the start of a new era.

Brown has said the rescue efforts of Guard members during the blizzard of 1978 left a lasting impression on him.
He attended ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) at Northeastern University.
He has been active with the Guard for about 30 years and holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

Stanford does not have an ROTC yet, so no future presidential candidates from our local school.
Why is that? when we were there they told us it had something to do with the 60s and radical left wing faculty
Looks like those days are over.

Tom Campbell really is an ideal candidate. He was my professor at Stanford Law School and taught separation of powers. He really is very nice and very educated. After teaching the course, he wrote a very good academic book on the subject entitled Separation of Powers in Practice. It is a very fine book, and very specific. I enjoyed reading this book and it gave me a different viewpoint on our Constitution.
Tom will make an excellent Senator. He has worked his whole life to help other people and that is what is important. I think that Tom is a very moderate Republican and a great example of what Republicans can be. He taught at Stanford for many years, served as the Dean of the Business School at Berkeley.
But what is most important is that Tom works hard. He read through my paper on Health Care and Separation of Powers when I was at Stanford Law School almost immediately. He even read through the footnotes. These papers were very long and took considerable attention to work through the issues. What is remarkable is that he treated everyone equally. Liberals and conservatives enjoyed his course because he was so fair.
What I see in life as a physician is that life and kindness are far more important than money and wealth. While we are a market oriented society, we are also a society of innovation and learning. I think that Tom offers the ideal combination of experience and perspective.
This is not to say that Barbara Boxer did not serve us well. Rather, I believe that Tom will serve us better. In the last two years, a great deal has changed and we have to be open minded to listen to moderates from either side of the political spectrum.

With the experience gained through their work experience and further united by their complicity, it was on a trip to india, through the inspiration of colors and the scented reality of Delhi that they decided to launch their own clothes, jewels and accessories label for little girls, Louise Misha.The label's got its name because they wanted to induce a family feel to their brand. They have chosen to associate the first name of the grandmother of the one, Louise and the nickname of the mom of the other, Misha. "Louise Misha". They created a brand with a vintage feeling, full of nostalgia and the idea that "Louise Misha" could be the name of the heroin in an old black and white movie.

Excellent suggestion Austin. If I can recreate the problem using a Stata system data file, I'll repost my question. Many thanks, Michael
Michael McCulloch <email@example.com>:
Not to beat a dead horse, "does not work" is uninformative. The x in
the bootstrap output tells you that whatever commands you are running
are not producing the necessary output. If you reframe your problem
using a dataset that ships with Stata or availabel via -webuse- (see
http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?streg for examples), you will get better
answers from the list. Does the program run if you just type
msmcox_stageIIIA_includeIPTWd at the command prompt? If so, type
-return list- after that one run and verify r(tcm) is returned.

I have never heard of anyone using a sealer as a starter coat? How would that work if you were blending a panel for a color match? I have never had any problem using various clears from different manufacturers over factory paint. Maybe I am misunderstanding your question?
Experienced vs rookies
In my books, I always recommend to stay with one paint system throughout any particular project, whether it is PPG, Dupont, or whatever. This is simply meant to avoid any incompatibility issues. There are all sorts of "stuff happens" issues that can wreak havoc with a paint job, that you don't need to test fate any more than necessary.
Can you get acceptable results by mixing and matching components from various systems? Probably, but do you want to take that chance? I sure don't want to sand it all off again if it doesn't turn out right. If you are an experienced painter, you can probably figure out how to correct most problems, but a rookie probably would not be able to save a botched paint job.
Just my two cents worth. By the way, How to Paint Your Car, 2nd Edition should be out next spring from MBI.
Dennis W. Parks
Author of Automotive how-to books
A sealer isn't any more "compatible" with the old paint than anything else, in fact it is thinner to lay out better so being it has more solvent in it it is more likely to lift something or fail in some way.
Sealer is used for a number of different reasons.
1. Poor prep, too course of sanding for instance.
2. Make a uniform color for easier coverage with your paint.
3. Small sand thrus.
don't forget bleed thru. If you block on an existing paint and you had to go thru a layer or two a sealer is great at keeping things separated as to not create halos or rings or an edge sucking up the shine. If it does lift I'd rather be sanding on that and reseal lightly than trying to do it with base. Sealer is great insurance for a number of things

no one would chance not use'n a sealer coat..
and that paint can be 20 years old.. it's as cured as it'll ever be
take my 86 SS 8700 miles.. never titled till 2001
never hit, never anything other than the paint is 26 y/o and tired from lack of care.. it doesn't NEED or warrant a down to metal repaint..
as the paint is tired from the showroom rub down it got way tomany times.. that killed the paint..
not many are dumping 10k on a paint job on a 1500.oo -10k car..
and there are tons of these in the hobby. no matter if YOU don't do them
The original question, should a painter stick with one product line through out a paint job. The simple answer is, in an ideal world , yes. If the question was can I use one manufacturer's product over another, or is it safe to use one manufacturer's product over another it gets a little more complicated...and...Brian, your right. The key word is cured.
If your using a PPG primer that is catalyzed and you want to use Dupont base, with SPI clear and if your asking if it will work safely, I would say Yes...under conditions. If the PPG primer is cured and I mean cured and prepped properly you can safely put Dupont base over top...the Dupont base, when totally flashed will accept SPI clear. This is no different than painting over top OEM finishes or over some other shops previous repair....If it wasn't safe, it would be mandatory for shops to out line what products they put on your vehicle when it was repaired or for the manufacturer to tell you which product line your vehicle was originally painted with...Example...For several years now the OEM has been using water born base coats and shops are repairing them with solvent base coats...they still get successfully repaired.
Then we get to sealers....I have posted several times what my feelings are about sealers...but...here goes again. Sealers, in my opinion, are not a necessary step. If they where, a color blend would not be recommended by paint manufacturers. If you know what your substrate is and that your substrate is consistent throughout your panel that you are painting and your substrate is prepped properly, sealer is not required and is just another coat that you can get dirt in. Sealer is an excellent product if your prep work is questionable, for example, if the manufacturer recommends that your substrate be prepped in 400 grit paper and the substrate is prepped in 320..a sealer will fill the 320 grit profile and eliminate sand scratches in your top coat. If your substrate is questionable...you don't know if part of it's lacquer, part acrylic enamel or base coat, sealer may offer you a "sandwhich" degree of insurance knowing that all of your paint is going over top of the same substrate...but...you don't know how the sealer is going to react with all of the different substrates underneath it. The difference is substrates underneath the sealer will contract and expand differently, absorb solvents and catalyst differently and could still cause "halos" or even wrinkling (if the sealer is shot over a non catalyzed product like lacquer or enamel or if the existing substrate has been oxidized to the point that it hasn't any properties of a freshly catalyzed product). The key answer here is know your substrate, if your unsure, test it by pepping the substrate, wiping it clean with a thinner, if your rag with thinner ends up being the same color as the substrate your wiping...chances are you have a weak substrate and it should be removed....if your still not sure, spray some sealer, primer, base or whatever over the prepped substrate, if it reacts by wrinkling, extra long flash or cure times you have a weak substrate and it should be removed. If your still unsure, because of it's age, fading or you just don't get a good feeling, remove it, if you don't, chances are your going to in the long run and having double the material bill. The days are long over of dusting lacquer primer over top of poor substrates to build a weak bridge before painting...if there not over...they should be...that's just a poor repair or method of trying to get to a respectable finish.
Hope this helps
If that's what you want...your call...there's nothing wrong with that, as I mentioned, there are many places and people that would do that, I wouldn't, it's my name and reputation that I'd be worried about. If I painted a car like that and something happened....The first question would be, who painted that car??? Not, didn't you want that car stripped? or, Why didn't you get it done properly in the first place? It always lands on the guys lap that agreed to do it for cheap...If I do it right, and something goes wrong, at least I would know what I was working with be able to fix it easier, knowing what's underneath.

Factory paint is baked on...this is done to keep the assembly line moving...Body Shops that have an air make up unit with their booth also bake their paint to keep the production moving. Baking paint doesn't make paint better...paint will cure over time and be as strong as unbaked paint.
I'm sorry, I'd like to respond to the rest of your post but, maybe it's the fact that I don't understand all acronyms, I'm not sure but, I am having trouble understanding what you are trying to say. If you could help me out with what "p/o prep" means....does the p/o stand for pour overall?

Note: Our son did this project about 90% on his own. Mom and Dad would demonstrate steps and then he took the reins from there.
Our oldest son, who's in 3rd grade, brought home the classic "build a volcano and make it explode" class project. This was a no-brainer to my husband, for whom recreating terrain is old hat.
Over the course of about 5 days, my boys took off on the project. My husband outlined a plan, based on simple guidance from the Internet. It was great that we had absolutely everything in the house, mostly because of the model railroading supplies we had just used on our son's model railroad that was completed late last year.
The teacher offered us a recipe for salt dough, which is a popular method for making the volcanoes. Instead we chose paper mache, which is more lightweight.
We started with several items that were essentially recycled: an empty soda bottle, a leftover piece of plywood for the base, a cardboard box and our old phone book.

Families can cope with disaster by preparing in advance and working together as a team. Create a family disaster plan including a communication plan, emergency kit, and an evacuation plan. Knowing what to do is your best protection and your responsibility.
Right outside your home in case of a sudden emergency, like a fire.
Outside your neighborhood in case you can't return home. Everyone must know the address and phone number.
Following the 2005 hurricane season, the Red Cross developed the Safe and Well website, which enables people within a disaster area to let their friends and loved ones outside of the affected region know of their well-being. By logging onto the Red Cross public website, a person affected by disaster may post messages indicating that they are safe and well at a shelter, hotel, or at home, and that they will contact their friends and family as soon as possible. During large-scale disasters, there will be telephone-based assistance via the 1-866-GET-INFO hotline for people who live within the affected areas and do not have Internet access, but wish to register on the Safe and Well website.
People who are concerned about family members in an affected area may also access the Safe and Well website to view these messages. They will be required to enter either the name and telephone number, or the name and complete address, of the person about whom they wish to get information. Red Cross chapters will provide telephone-based assistance to local callers who do not have Internet access and wish to search the Safe and Well website for information about a loved one.
Be assured that the information on the Safe and Well website is secure and that information about the locations where people are staying is not published. Privacy laws require the Red Cross to protect each person's right to determine how best to communicate their contact information and whereabouts to family members. The Red Cross does not actively trace or attempt to locate individuals registered on the Safe and Well website.

APCNews 121 – Pakistan & Facebook ban, open spectrum research
APCNews – May 27 2010 – Year XI Issue 121
The news service on ICTs for social justice and sustainable development
"The 'Everybody draw Mohammed Day' campaign appears to be nothing more than a desperate attempt to incite and provoke Muslims – let's not give them the satisfaction," said Karachi blogger Sana Saleem. Too late. The Pakistani High Court ordered the blocking of Facebook – the third most popular website in Pakistan— and a day later over a thousand sites were also inaccessible to Pakistani users. Freedom of information supporters who question the logic of the ban and the fact that hundreds of websites have been blocked instead of the offending campaign page have received death threats or been accused of blasphemy. We are with APC's Pakistani representative Bytes For All urging "Pakistani internet users are the ones who suffer while extremists on both sides gain more ground. Let's hope that sanity prevails in the long run!"
Facebook ban in Pakistan is shocking, says Bytes For All
ISLAMABAD (Bytes for All) – Pakistanis woke up on Thursday to find sites like Facebook and YouTube blocked after a government crackdown on "blasphemous" websites. "We consider this ban unnecessary, based on wrongful accusations against civil liberties and it will further instigate hatred among international Muslim and non-Muslim communities," APC member Bytes For All tells APCNews. In an update, we are told that more than 1000 sites are now being blocked. "We are in the midst of a major crisis," says Bytes For All.
APC starts research into spectrum regulation in Brazil, India, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria and South Africa
MONTEVIDEO (APC) – Every thirty months the amount of information that can be transmitted over a wireless internet connection has the potential to double. Wireless could be the way to provide affordable broadband to millions of people currently living with poor connectivity. However the policy and regulation related to spectrum is often inefficient, secretive and ill-informed. APC's new research will examine how spectrum is assigned, who assigns it and what policy or regulatory framework they use.
Coming out of poverty: A model for traditional weavers in India
NEW DELHI (Osama Manzar for DEF) – Not even a year after APC member Digital Empowerment Foundation set up a centre in the small town of Chanderi, where weavers could create new designs on computers, lives like those of young Mohammad Furqan have take an unexpected turn for the better. The town and initiative have become an inspiration to reproduce throughout the entire country.
Third regional Latin American and the Caribbean preparatory meeting for the Internet Govrnance Forum
MONTEVIDEO (APC) – APC, the NUPEF Institute, and the Regional Internet Address Registry for Latin America and the Caribbean (LACNIC) are pleased to announce the Third Regional Preparatory Meeting for the Internet Governance Forum which will take place on 3-5 August 2010 in the city of Quito, Ecuador.

Hide lines
Milovaig - Armadale:
We have requested our breakfast to be at 7.30am today as we have a long day planned to get back to Inverness. We have booked our ferry from Armadale to get to Mallaig on the mainland. From there, we will take the famous "Road to the Isles" (from the opposite direction of Fort William).
However, after rushing all the way to Armadale ( about 1 hour & 20 minutes drive from Milovaig), we were told that due to some "technical problems", our ferry for that day was cancelled.
We were disappointed, of course but there was nothing we could do, so we drove to Kyle of Lochalsh instead to take the bridge to get to the mainland. This gave us the opportunity to visit Plockton, dubbed by many to be the most picturesque village of all and to stop at the Castle Eilean Donan� one of the most photographed castles in Scotland.
Plockton is indeed very picturesque and a very quiet village. However, if we were to stay here, I think we would
After our stops at Plockton and Eilean Donan, we continued on the A87eastward all the way down to Invegarry instead of Invermoriston as we wanted to try another route
to get back to Inverness instead of taking the same on which we did on our way to Skye previously.
Invergarry - Fort Augustus:
We joined the A82 from Invergarry and proceeded north towards Fort Augustus. Fort Augustus was very busy on the day we passed, a lot of tourist busses seemed to stop here for their tourists to get their meals and to do their shopping.
Coincidentally at the time we were there, they had to stop all road traffic to open the locks of the Caledonian Canal (which cuts through this village on its way down to Fort William) for the boat to pass.
We didn't stop at this village as we were worried about getting to Inverness on time to return our hire car and to get to the airport in time for our flight to Manchester.
Fort Augustus - Inverness via B862 :
From Fort Augustus, we took the B862 to Inverness and we were glad that we followed our trusted guidebook to do so because in this way, we got to be on the other side of Loch Ness compared to the time when we were on the A82.
We passed through so many small beautiful villages along this route, including Foyers and Dores, 2 of the bigger ones, mostly on single-track roads with many trees and little hills - it was just so serene and easy to drive through such wonderful sights along the way.
Inverness - Manchester:
We returned our car at the Focus office near the Airport and one of the staffs there drove us to the Airport about 3 minutes away to drop us off. We bade a sad farewell to our hardworking Ford, who had accompanied and served us so well throughout our journey around the Highlands and Skye.
We then waited for our Eastern Airlines flight to Manchester, where we stayed for a night at the Travelodge at the Airport. We only paid GBP 40 for our room and we were more than happy with our huge, spacious room with strong hot shower and lots of storage places.
They provided us with shuttle bus to Manchester Airport in the morning - we paid GBP 7 for the both of us.
5th May 2008 :
It was that awful time again - to say goodbye to each other. We have spent every single second together for the last 10 days and it was very difficult to suddenly just part like this - AGAIN!!
In fact, it has been getting more and more difficult for us to say goodbye these days. But we braved on, as we know the time for us to be together is drawing closer each day.
We will be meeting again in 2 months' time for more adventure and fun and love in Vientiane and Luang Prabang in Laos, with stops in Kuala Lumpur, Perhentian Island and the East Coast of Peninsula Malaysia, AND Chiang Mai in Thailand.
So, look out for our blogs from these countries!
