FOR RELEASE: Immediate, Monday, Dec. 14, 2009
Dr. Maria Palmara, a professor and department chairperson at Hudson Valley Community College, has been awarded a Fulbright Scholar grant to lecture at The University of Zadar in Croatia during the spring 2010 semester.
Palmara, who chairs the Department of English, Modern Languages and English as a Second Language, will be teaching American Literature in the graduate program at the university. She is one of approximately 1,100 U.S. faculty and professionals who will travel abroad through the Fulbright Scholars program this year.
The Fulbright Program is sponsored by the United States Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. It was established in 1946 under legislation introduced by Senator William J. Fulbright of Arkansas. Since its inception, it has allowed more than 108,000 Americans to study, teach or do research abroad, and allowed an equal number of foreign-born scholars to do the same here in the United States.
This is the second Fulbright Scholar grant received by Palmara. In 1986, she taught English to students at Uludađ University in Bursa, Turkey.
Palmara has also arranged to have 60 copies of the Norton Anthology of American Literature and the McGraw Hill College Handbook donated by their respective publishers to The University of Zadar. She will use both texts in her classes during the spring semester. Hudson Valley Community College will pay to ship the textbooks to Croatia. "The college has been incredibly supportive," she said.
Founded in 1953, Hudson Valley Community College offers more than 70 degree and certificate programs in four schools: Business; Engineering and Industrial Technologies; Health Science; and Liberal Arts and Sciences; and an Educational Opportunity Center for academic and career training. One of 30 community colleges in the State University of New York system, it has an enrollment of more than 13,000 students, and is known as a leader in distance learning initiatives and workforce training. Hudson Valley has more than 65,000 alumni.

Bathtub faucet stem seat is frozen and won't turn.
It takes a hex head. I bought the appropriate tool to remove it but when I tried to remove it, the seat wouldn't turn. I prepped by spraying with WD 40 and waited 30 minutes.
We have very hard water and the seat must've been in there for over 20 years. There is evidence of corrosion and/or mineral build up. I want to try all the DIY solutions before I call a plumber, which I can ill afford, today.
Any suggestions?
Mike P
First off WD-40 is worthless as a penetrate. get some PB blaster or Kroil,,they are MUCH better!!! Take something larger than the hex,smaller than the threads and tap a bit on them,,,hard enough to rattle the threads,not hard enough to force them thru the threads. Some of those are stuck so tight you HAVE to buy a new faucet. Try putting a longer cheater wrench on end of allen wrench for a little more leverage,,,but not so much you break whole faucet from its moorings!! Then tap on that,,,sometimes it takes a little vibration to kick things loose.

Productivity and how to get better at it by getting laser focused, crystal clear!
We all know as entrepreneurs how easily it is at times to get distracted with all those things that can zap our time. Those shiny objects that pull you away from your main focus areas right? If that has or does happen to you, say "I".
One of the biggest challenges as an entrepreneur, like me that we all face or have faced at some point is the ability to stay focused on what matters most. The things that are going to move the needle on your business agreed?
So what can you do to increase productivity and stay crystal clear on your main elements?
1. Clarify what 3 things you must focus on in your business
2. Check in with yourself every now and again periodically throughout the day and ask yourself this question "Is what I am currently doing moving the needle or towards moving the needle"? You need to be aware of what and how you are spending your time.
3. Work with an accountability partner, to help you stay focused and accountable to your productivity goals, weekly is a good start.
4. Write it down! The act of actually taking the time to write down what you want to accomplish each day will set the wheels in motion. The hard part is the follow through right, especially if you are easily distracted. In which case set yourself a specific amount of time in order to complete each task.
5. Look at your results, are you seeing the kind of results you want? If not time to step back, re-evaluate and create a different approach or new action. Results can take time, so be willing to dig deep, and keep digging it could be just a matter of time before you see the results you want.
Productivity= Focus + Action…Your goals should be daily, weekly, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days etc.
6. Block time, carve out specific time each day for learning and growing. Spend 30 mins reading or listening to something instructional, or inspirational. Tony Robbins reminds us that we can use net time to do this. Listen to cd's as we are driving for example.
Bonus #7 Tip: Mindset start each day with the right kind of mindset, flush your mind of any negative influence and listen to those cd's, read or watch something that will set you up with "can do" attitude each day.
Every 5 minutes wasted can cost you $20 and remembering that time is the most precious thing we all have. Thank you Darren Hardy, Author and Publisher of Success Magazine for reminding us of that!
To you and your productivity!

By Les Selby, CMP, CMM
Now that the world has survived the apocalypse supposedly predicted by the Mayans, I thought I would submit my list of predictions on how meetings and events (M&E) will fare in 2013.
1. First (and most obvious), the general economy will remain weak and organizational expenditures will be closely scrutinized by management, stakeholders and the public.
This means that M&E budgets will remain tight and most organizations will want to ensure that the money they spend will generate a reasonable return.
Planners who can demonstrate that their events achieve objectives – generate revenue, build loyalty, increase sales, provide needed education and motivation, and/or stimulate the organizational culture – will be most successful.
2. The public and shareholders will often see M&E expenditures as a frivolous spend (which will prompt governments and organizations to make politically correct decisions instead of wise investments).
Event planners will need to demonstrate that they have spent money wisely and that they were not influenced by personal gain, reward points or any other factor that might be seen as unethical.
3. The ranks of independent planners will continue to grow. Two years ago, I predicted that there would be fewer independents, as organizations turned to large suppliers in an effort to take advantage of economies of scale.
I was incorrect. Since few companies have a corporate-wide policy governing the planning of events, decision-makers continue to turn to the cheapest providers of services (and this is often small companies or former corporate planners who were laid off during the recession and became independents).
4. Planner margins will continue to shrink. Too many planners competing for projects; an inability to differentiate services except by price; and a lack of professional standards in our industry all combine to drive prices and margins down.
5. Event content will be increasingly important and suppliers who can demonstrate how their services help achieve real long-term results will succeed, while those who are perceived as "fluff" will struggle.
Planners must become content experts – know what is available and be able to articulate why the inclusion of a specific team-building exercise or speaker will help achieve the desired objectives.
6. Price increases for transportation and at venues will promote more regional events and fewer large gatherings.
7. Networking will remain important both for planners and suppliers.
If your reputation is on the line for every event you work on, then you are going to turn to the people you know and trust.
8. My final prediction is as obvious as my first. Technology will continue to drive change in our industry – hybrid events, online events, on-demand events and virtual meetings will continue to supplement or replace traditional gatherings.
9. Perhaps one additional prediction – we will not be soon bored and there is no room for complacency if you want to be successful.
Is it just me, or you are being a bit pessimistic here? I think that the fact prices are not exactly going down in the 2013 will help international even planners get some more clients. After all, there are many areas in which organizing an event is cheaper. Latin America is sure one of them.
Hmmm…predictions point to driving business value. Sadly the community is not aligned to support.
Imagine the opportunities if it invested only 10% of its resources and engergy to change and amplify the conversation on how to help CEOs move from:
-Telling & selling their vision to listening, empowering and engaging all stakeholders
-Broadcasting information to co-evolving the conversation
-Wiedling power to growing trust and sharing knowledge

Looks great I will have to try this
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Looks great I will have to try this
I definitely will try that next time. Thanks!
Thanks lots. I will print the pdf file and give it a try with my next binding.
Thank you so much for posting this. I never have liked hand sewing the miter; this makes the miter look a lot better to me.
I do nearly all of my binding using a method very much like this one.
Using the "X" marking will save me steps.
Thanks very much for sharing this.
I Quilt, I Nap, I Quilt Some More ... Aaaaah, The Good Life!
I also have an eddres you can use if you need to contact me with questions or suggestions that relate to our community: firstname.lastname@example.com
i really like the way that loo! thanks, nell, definitely worth trying!
The only bad days are the ones you don't get.
This is how I do it, but I use the corner of my ruler to draw that little triangle. When I did the continuous binding I was redoing that part where I would join it over and over.
Thank you so very much for sharing
Wonderful tutorial..Thanks..I will have to try it

Proud Homecoming for Middle School Chess Champs
Students at Intermediate School 318 Eugenio Maria de Hostos in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, returned to their school on Tuesday as conquering heroes, having accomplished the extraordinary act of winning the national chess championship for high school students -- a feat that showed they were out of their grades, but not out of their class.
As SchoolBook first reported on Tuesday, I.S. 318's chess team, made up mostly of eighth graders, became the first middle school team to win the United States Chess Federation's national high school championship. And as Anne Barnard and Dylan Loeb McClain report in The New York Times on Wednesday:
The victory burnishes what is already a legend in the chess world. At I.S. 318, more than 60 percent of the students come from families with incomes below the federal poverty level. Yet each stairwell landing bristles with four-foot chess trophies, and the school celebrities are people like James A. Black Jr. A 13-year-old with twinkly eyes and curly eyelashes, James is not a football hero or a valedictorian, but a certified chess master who gently corrects his teachers on the fine points of strategy.
Watching over a particularly raucous game on Tuesday, James, wearing a black sweatsuit and a huge book bag, took notice of the moment when only kings and pawns were left. "Automatic draw," he declared. "Insufficient mating material."
It's a delightful, affirming story about how skill and intellect are rewarded in a city school -- and how an inspired administration and devoted teaching staff can create an atmosphere that nurtures learning and accomplishment.
One particularly poignant note to the big win: the chess program was encouraged by the school's longtime principal, Fortunato "Fred" Rubino, who died on April 2. The Times notes that John Galvin, an assistant principal, said the team might present the new trophy to Mr. Rubino's wife.
The city's public school system was the focus of political attention on Tuesday, as Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Chancellor Dennis M. Walcott announced the opening of 54 new schools in the city in September -- and the likely candidates to run for Mr. Bloomberg's seat in 2013 discussed his education policies.
As The New York Times reports on Wednesday (as do other news organizations), the mayor and Mr. Walcott went to Washington Irving High School in Manhattan, which is slated to be closed, to say the mayor would continue his policy of closing large schools and replacing them with small ones. Come fall, 24 charter schools and 30 traditional public schools will be opened, bringing the mayor closer to presiding over 1,800 schools by the time he leaves office.
Earlier in the day, some of the mayoral candidates participated in a panel at New York University, The Times says, "where a group critical of Mr. Bloomberg's policies released a report showing that the 23 schools targeted for closing this year had higher proportions of special-education students, students who were over age for their grade and students who qualified for free or reduced-price lunches, as well as lower proportions of students proficient in math and language arts, than the city's school system as a whole."
The mayor rebutted that criticism, The Times reports:
"The student bodies of these new schools mirror those of the schools they replace," the mayor said, "with similar percentages of black and Latino students, English-language learners and students with disabilities."
According to Education Department data, in 2011 the percentage of students with disabilities at new schools opened by the Bloomberg administration was 15.2, compared with 10.7 percent at schools citywide. The percentage of English-language learners at the new schools was roughly equivalent to the percentage citywide; the percentage of black and Latino students was significantly higher at the new schools.
SchoolBook reported in greater depth on the panel, noting that the three likely mayoral candidates who attended -- William C. Thompson Jr., Public Advocate Bill de Blasio and Manhattan Borough President Scott M. Stringer -- as well as Speaker Christine C. Quinn, who did not attend, support mayoral control of the schools, though some advocated a kinder, gentler version, with more parental oversight.
They also all believe that closing schools should be done as a last resort, though Mr. Thompson called for a moratorium on all closings. Also discussed was a proposal to put struggling schools into a special improvement group -- something that had been tried before, known as the chancellor's district, and which had been deemed unsuccessful.
Overall, as Anna M. Phillips reported in SchoolBook, the event with the mayoral candidates -- particularly when juxtaposed with the mayor's announcement -- "gave the clearest indication yet of what education policies they might support in a mayoral race, and just how much distance they would put between themselves and Mayor Bloomberg's policies."
Since the city's education policies are expected to be a premiere issue in the race for mayor next year, it appears, then, that the campaign is already heating up.
And we missed this the other day in The Local news blog in Fort Greene-Clinton Hill: Nancy Bruni, a friend of SchoolBook, wrote her annual post advising local students of some summer opportunities available to them. Know of student opportunities in your neighborhood? Post them on you school's SchoolBook page, and create a resource there for the community.
Speaking of SchoolBook's school pages: Two Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism students who have been "embedded" in Public School 24 in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, took the initiative to talk to students and the principal about this week's standardized tests -- and then posted their reports on the school's page for the greater community to see. Check out Jackie Mader's interview with the principal, Christina Fuentes, and Rebecca Moss's touching interviews with students.
SchoolBook's school pages were created to be used as a community resource to post information that others might want to see, whether because they have a child at the school or because they are shopping for a home or a school that fits their child. Anyone can add notices, photos, reports, student work, questions, answers -- or full-out interviews, like those done by the Columbia students.
And speaking of questions: Some are pending on some school pages from concerned parents. For instance, Dan Chevreux asks: "what do you need to get or do to get into columbia grammar prep highschool?" Does anyone have an answer for him? If so, go to the school's page and post your answer.

Law officer deaths aim to hit "Below 100"
"Below 100" tackles deadly law enforcement mistakes
INDIO, Calif. -- - Every year since World War II, more than 100 law enforcement officers have died in the line of duty across the US.
Like many good ideas, a concept to lower that number below 100 started over dinner in 2010.
"A couple high-ranking officers from around the country were in a conference, and there were a lot of line of duty deaths recently and they wanted a program to reduce those," says Officer Mike Radford with the California Highway Patrol.
Now every agency in the country endorses the "Below 100" program, where law enforcement follows five key rules to improve officer safety.
"Always wear your vest, always wear your seatbelt, watch for speed, and think about what's important now, and complacency kills," reminds Radford.
It may seem like common sense, but statistics released by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund show the campaign is working.
"In 2012, there was 123 line of duty deaths in the country -- which was the lowest in 50 years," said Radford, "but in 2013 it dropped to 107, which is the lowest since 1944."
Still, accidents happen.
Just last week, two officers in Fresno were killed while responding to an accident where the victim was standing in the roadway. Both officers died instantly as they veered off the road to avoid that person.
It's a reminder that the general public needs to help keep law enforcement stay safe, too.
"We do notice a trend that's going down," says Ben Guitron with the Indio Police Department. "It'll continue to go down as long as the public understands law enforcement is out there to keep the peace and keep communities safe, and in return law enforcement constantly remember their training and keep safe out there."
Five Indio CHP officers have died in the line of duty since the 1950's. He says even decades later, their memory is a reminder of the dangers law enforcement officers face every day.
"Good cops are going to die every year," said Radford with a stoic expression. "Every officer must keep those five principles in mind at all times and make them the norm."

Two Toy Scientists Get Cremed By Another Oreo Separator
The latest leg of Oreo's war between cookie and creme is a draw, as two scientists' methods for isolating their favorite part cancels each other's out.
Two lab-coated scientists escalate the war between cookies and creme in Oreo's latest campaign.
The last time we heard from this ongoing saga, one man had assembled a clever way to thoroughly scrape off every last trace of creme from his Oreos–striking a blow for Team Cookie. This time, the two sides are more evenly matched, with toy scientists Bill Fienup and Barry Kudrowitz each pulling for their respective prized Oreo component.
Created once again by Wieden + Kennedy Portland, the new ad plays like a high-tech episode of Mr. Wizard. In the end, though, both parties get served. After the top of the cookie is scientifically popped off, things really heat up, literally: the creme from an exposed Oreo is atomized, and sprayed into Fienup's open mouth. (Um, it's not explicitly NSFW, but perhaps it should be?)

Honeywell - NO Heat!
I have a Honeywell s9201a
the heat stopped working last night, I have an automatic ignition, so I have tried restarting the system and it only blows cold air. also my humidifier is now leaking and not circulating into the system. I do not know what else to try
good morning, and welcome to the forum.
the more details, the faster the great HVAC guys here can help you.
pictures nearly ALWAYS help.

the furnace would stay on, it will blow out air (not warm) and then it would just shut off. no way to tell if any burn is in progress, it don't think it does. any advice is appreciated
Attachment 15416
Attachment 15417
Attachment 15418
Attachment 15419
what is the sequence of noises? does it sound like it 'wants to' fire up?
is there a small window to see inside whether or not there's a fire happening?
i see the gas is on, and the switch is on. is the thermostat set to 'auto' and heat?
no heat
the sound like the burner is going but can't really tell because no window to look into, other sounds a surge of gas blowing, but for a second, then the motor runs for 1 or 2 min and then the blower kicks in, but no heat. it will run for a good maybe 4 min and then shuts off..
That ceramic looking part just left of the burner is your ignitor. Check for continuity or carefully remove and check for cracks. Your discription sounds exactly like a broken ignitor would behave
Probably a bad HSI. (Hot Surface Ignitor)
Or, the nuts on the outer housing come loose, and won't let the pressure switch close. Make sure they are tight.
Just above gas valve and to the left of the burner.
Oh, and that model is know to rust out the heat exchanger. It should be checked.
No heat
Hi Everyone, thank you for your reply
Ok, after furnace being shut off and has not been on since, Ijust tried to reset the funace, the furnace did it normal operation, and there is heat blowing out, but then I noticed that water was leaking inside, seem to me it was coming from the humifier and wetting the burner.. then water was leaking to the lower unit and getting the control panel wet.
I shut down the humidifier and water stopped leaking, and furnace still plowing heat.
Is it possible,that over night while we were asleep the burner and all boads got wet and shut down the system? and now it is dry all working ok except for the humidifier.
Question- can the furnace continue to work properly without the humidifier water flow? Because to me with the Humifier working. the furnace is working ok, blowing heat... please advice
You can use it forever w/o a humidifier. Get the humidifier fixed.:thumbsup:
What cause the Humidifier to start leaking
Depends on the type. Post some pics of it.
1 Attachment(s)
This is the humidifier unit
You would have to turn it on and see where the water is coming from. I suspect the drain line is plugged with iron/rust and if you open it up there is a wick/cartridge that needs replacing. There are also drip nozzles at the top of the cartridge which plug up from water mineral and need cleaning or it leaks/drips in the wrong direction.
Yuri, after whole morning checking the process of eliminations, found out that one of the water hose that lead to inside the furnace was kinked and no water was coming out of the tray. so therefor the water i was hearing from inside was from the tray, water was building up and wetting the burners. now unkinked the water tube and all working properly. but this is a temp fix for now until i get the water tube replaced with new.
You do need to open it and clean it and check the cartridge etc, normal maintenance anyway.

Darkcrisis' 55 gal community *now with CO2*
This 55 gallon has been setup for about 2 years and was originally low tech. I got tired of slow growth and the limited plants I could keep alive. I recently added CO2 and the plants are starting to grow.
The layout is pretty random at the moment, but hopefully I can turn this into something a little more spectacular.
I am always open for suggestions.
Lighting: (2) 48" Coralife T5NO 112 watts total
Filtration: Rena XP3 + Koralia 1
Substrate: Eco Complete / Flourite Black mix
Paintball CO2 (green drop-checker)
Fertz: 1/4tsp KNO3 3x week
1/8tsp KO2PO4 3x week
1/8tsp SM+B 3x week
Fauna: 20 Cardinal Tetras, 10 Guppies, 2 Bolivian Rams, 1 Peacock Gudgeon, 3 Amano Shrimp, 1 Zebra Nerite Snail, 1 Otocinclus
Flora: Taiwan Moss, Christmas Moss, Anubias Nana, Anubias barteri, Needle Leaf Hygro, Sunset Hygro, Tropica Crypt, Brown Crypt, Dwarf Harigrass.
I really like that piece of driftwood, but it looks a little out of place and lonely. I've been thinking about laying it down and adding some manzanita branches as well. I like the needle leaf hygro in the background, but it gets out of control quick with CO2. I am thinking of switching it out for jungle vals. What do you guys think?
It looks nice. Jungle vals will get 3 ft. leaves so bear that in mind. I would look for a cheap stem variety pack in the SnS to test out some to see what you like vs. what grows good for you.
I'm looking for a stem package on the sns so I have more plants to play around with. Hopefully I can change the layout up some.
I brought home 2 Bolivian Rams the other day and they add a little more character to the tank. Now I'm focusing on plants and their placement.
I am starting to get more growth out of my plants and things are filling in. I bought a plant package from the sns and they are adapting to my tank well and starting to grow.
I am having a bit of an issue with BBA and maybe staghorn algae now. I always had a little here and there and it was easy to trim those leaves. Now it is growing faster and I am having a hard time keeping it out of the tank. I have pulled all the moss out of the tank because it was covered with BBA. It is also growing on the eco complete/flourite substrate. Any clues what could be causing this?
Lighting: (2) 48" Coralife T5NO 112 watts total directly on glass top with new bulbs.
Fertz: 1/4tsp KNO3 3x week
1/8tsp KO2PO4 3x week
1/8tsp CSM+B 3x week
CO2 registers green/yellow on drop checker. Turned it down just below the point where fish looked uncomfortable.
I want to buy a new light, but not sure if that will make the problem worse.
BBA/Staghorn is (mostly) caused by high light and low co2. How long are your lights on for? Are both on the whole time?
Thanks for the fast reply! I bought some plants from you about 2 years ago. I was running low tech then and killed all the plants slowly :frown:
Both lights are on for 9 hours a day. Should I try to reduce my photoperiod? Or just run one fixture with the other one coming on for a couple of hours for a midday burst?
I read a post where they measured the Coralife T5HO with a PAR meter and the results were horrible. I figured I might actually be running a little on the low side of light. I have my CO2 cranked as high as it can go without the fish showing signs of stress. It is paintball CO2... Not very economical for a 55 gallon though.
Your filtration doesn't suck and you aren't overstocked, so it has to be the light.
Probably go with just one light on for part of the photoperiod. I'd do one on 8 hours and both on for 4 to start. Wait a month, then adjust the second light up in hours if needed. Trim BBA infected leaves and do an excel overdose (2x instructions for a few days, increase surface agitation/bubbler at night, watch fish, etc.) to kill all the existing BBA.
Long term, try to get a real co2 tank (at least 5 pound, 10 or more is better... the biggest that fits in/behind your stand)... cheaper and more convenient. Fyr Fyter is the best place to fill locally.
Thank you very much for you input. I will give that a try and see how it turns it!
Any suggestions on CO2 kits? I want something that has everything I need (reg, solenoid, and needle valve) at a reasonable price. I don't want a piece of crap that will constantly cause me trouble. I have made enough of those purchases!
I did as Macclellan suggested, trimmed BBA leaves, Excel OD, adjusted the lights where the 2nd fixture comes on for a 4 hour burst mid-day, and put an air stone in at night (which I had already been doing.)
I did this right before I left for vacation for 9 days. I had someone come by and dump pre-measured ferts in the tank twice. I did not know what I would come home to, but to my surprise the BBA is all gone and the plants went crazy! I did have a small patch of dwarf sag melt away which is a little odd.
All the fish seem to be doing fine as well despite my paintball CO2 tank being empty. I filled it the day before I left so I'm not sure what happened since I usually get almost a month on a full cylinder.
Here is what the tank looks like. I might do a light trim and let the plants continue to grow where they are since some are new and are just getting established. I randomly planted them where there was some available substrate. I do like the jungle look though!
Nice. Sub'd

I like the looks of it as a jungle. Very lush looking.
Thanks! I think I will keep it looking like a jungle. The baby guppies like it too. I haven't seen babies since getting the Bolivian Rams. I guess they have plenty of places to hide now.

Stephens Co. Commission Provides Funds for CHAMPS, Explorer Program
After some discussion, Stephens County Commissioners agree to provide funding for the Sheriff's Office CHAMPS program and Explorer program.
Commissioners unanimously approved the request for funding from the Sheriff's Office, which totaled $4,800, at their meeting last Tuesday.
The money is coming from the county's Drug Abuse Treatment and Education, or DATE, funds. Those funds are collected through court fines.
Stephens County Commissioner Dean Scarborough noted that the county has a limited amount in the DATE fund, which was previously pledged to the county's new drug court.
"Our problem is finite," said Scarborough. "It is just dollars."
Representatives from the Sheriff's Office pointed out that the CHAMPS program, which stands for Choosing Healthy Activities and Methods Promoting Safety, is taught to every fifth grader in the county and takes a proactive approach, while drug court is a reactive one.
County Commissioner Dennis Bell said he feels a proactive approach is important.
"I would rather see us be proactive than reactive any time," said Bell.
Commissioners also questioned whether DATE funds could be used for the Explorer program, noting that the money from that fund must be spent on drug abuse education and treatment programs.
The Sheriff's Office said that the Explorer program, which is available to high-school age students, does have a drug education component.
Out of the $4,800 approved by county commissioners, $3,800 will go to the CHAMPS program, while $1,000 will go to the Explorer program.

Office of International Programs
STEPS to H-1B
First, the department downloads and completes the preliminary paperwork, then submits the documents to the Office of International Scholar & Student Services (ISSFS) at UC 2162.
The forms are:
- H-1B Worksheet Information from this form is used to prepare the H-1B petition. The Worksheet includes a statement on the Return Travel Guarantee: the department must agree to provide one-way return transportation to the home country or country last resided in outside the U.S. if the employment is terminated prior to the end of the H-1B period for which the department petitioned. This guarantee is signed by the dean/director or chair of the department.
- Statement of Actual Wage Determination Information from this form is used to determine the "actual wage," which is defined as the wage paid by the employer to all other individuals with similar experience, qualifications, education, job responsibility and function, and specialized knowledge for the employment in question.
- Letter of Support The sample letter offers guidelines on what should be placed in the blanks of the letter of support. Once you have completed the letter, have it signed by the department chair, dean or director.
- Copies of employee's documents (listed on H-1B Packet for Employee)
Once all of the above forms and documents are received, the ISSFS Faculty and Scholar Advisor will request the prevailing wage determination from the U.S. Department of Labor, which can take them up to 60 days in some cases.
Prevailing Wage Form The prevailing wage determination is the wage that the U.S. Department of Labor determines is the average wage paid to all similarly employed individuals within a certain area (city, state, and region).
- It may take up to six weeks or so to receive the prevailing wage determination.
- The salary for your employee must be at least 100% of the prevailing wage in order to proceed to the next step in the process of obtaining the H-1B.
- If the salary does not meet 100% of the prevailing wage, the salary must be raised or an alternate prevailing wage source must be consulted in order to proceed. If this occurs, the Faculty and Scholar Advisor will contact the department about the determination and discuss the alternatives.
Once the prevailing wage is met, the ISSFS will file the Labor Condition Application (LCA) with the Dept. of Labor and post the LCA on the UT Tyler website for 10 business days.
The Faculty and Scholar Advisor will attest to the following when filing the LCA:
- H-1B employees will be paid at least the actual wage or prevailing wage, whichever is higher.
- The employment of H-1B internationals will not adversely affect the working conditions of other workers similarly employed.
- On the date of filing, there is not a strike, lockout or work stoppage in the H1B employee's occupation at the place of employment.
- A copy of the LCA will be provided to the H-1B employee and notice of the LCA will be posted on the employer's website for 10 business days.
NOTE: The university is able to make these attestations based on information provided by the department on all required forms. Therefore, it is very important that these forms are filled out completely and correctly.
The Faculty and Scholar Advisor will also complete the Form I-129 and email it to the department with the check request instructions. Once the checks are picked up from the Office of Accounting and delivered to ISSFS, the H-1B petition is ready to be submitted to USCIS.
All the information is compiled and mailed to USCIS with the checks for the appropriate USCIS fees. The filing fee of $325 is required for all H-1B petitions; the anti-fraud fee of $500 is required for new and transfer petitions only. Both fees are paid by the employing department. The filing fee for an accompanying dependent petition is $290. If the employee or department wants the USCIS to adjudicate the petition within 15 days, the $1,225 premium processing fee may be paid.
NOTE: A transferring H-1B employee may begin employment once the University receives the receipt of filing from USCIS. Both the department and the employee must sign a memo stating the possible consequences of beginning employment prior to approval. This temporary work authorization may not be advisable in all situations.
USCIS will mail a receipt of filing to ISSFS.
The receipt is usually received within three weeks. Processing times for approval of the H-1B petitions vary, depending on time of year, taking from 4 to 6 months.
Finally, the H-1B Approval Notice arrives.
Once the petition is approved, the Form I-797 Notice of Action (H-1B approval notice) will be mailed to ISSFS. The ISSFS will notify the department and employee. The employee will pick up the documents and take them to the Office of Human Resource, where he/she will complete or update his/her I-9.
If the employee is out of the United States, the documents will be sent to him/her for the visa application at the U.S. Consulate at his/her home country. The employee may usually enter the U.S. up to 10 days prior to the start date on the approval notice and he/she will then present the H-1B documents to department upon arrival at UT Tyler for completion of the I-9. He/she will then need to bring the documents and a PRF to ISSFS for a signature.

North Korea Adds to Obama's To-Do List
Kim Jong Un has a stark message for Barack Obama, Shinzo Abe and Xi Jinping: I won't be ignored.
The North Korean leader clearly won the attention today of his counterparts in the U.S., Japan and China with the nation's third nuclear test. It was the first since Kim took over from his late father, who died in December 2011, and it adds another test to a world already awash in international flashpoints. Let's hope Obama, Abe and Xi get the memo.
The onus here is especially on Obama. The U.S. president has a full foreign-policy plate for his second term, from Iran's nuclear ambitions, chaos in Syria and Egypt, territorial disputes in Asia pitting China against Japan, a teetering Europe and the fallout from climate change. Yet it's time to put North Korea high on America's agenda. The next four years afford Obama a chance to place this issue in the global spotlight and to correct the missteps of the past.
This detonation three weeks after the United Nations tightened sanctions indicates Kim backs the military-first policy of his late father as he solidifies hold of the country he took charge of 14 months ago. It will challenge South Korea's President-elect Park Geun Hye's pledge to improve ties with the North. How incoming Chinese President Xi handles this open act of defiance will suggest what kind of leader he will be and the relationship he envisions with Washington and Tokyo.
What's needed is a new framework to rein in North Korea and improve the lives of 24 million people. The so-called six-party talks are getting us nowhere. They are the diplomatic equivalent of the Doha round of World Trade Organization talks. Let's drop the collective fiction that either is still alive.
Obama should announce a summit meeting on North Asian peace, inviting leaders from around Asia and Russia to get into a room and brainstorm on new ways to approach Pyongyang. One objective is to find a better balance between carrots and sticks to prod change. An even more important one is coming up with fresh ideas and tactics. At what point does the world admit what it's doing now isn't working?

" Genre: Drama / Poetry / Criticism / Paperback / 496 Pages / Book is published 2002-06-27 by Bloodaxe Books Ltd "
* Prices may differ from that shown
This book was on the reading list for my poetry module at university. It is a collection of various poets writing under a wide range of themes: Body and soul; Roads and journeys; Growing up and In and out of love, to name but a few. I believe that due to the large range of themes dealt with, there is something for everyone.
The collection is a good starting place for those of you who, like me, want to get into poetry but have no clue where to start. With the wide range of poets herein, it will not take you long to find somebody you like.
I would also recommend it to those of you who enjoy poetry already, especially if you are looking for something a little different. Perhaps it will open up a whole new world of poets for you, or simply provide you with more poems by old favourites.
The layout is simple and easy to navigate. Each chapter beginning provides a few quotes on the topic and an introduction too. Although the font size for the introduction is quite small, you can just skip it over as it does not tell you how to read the poems or if there's anything to look out for specifically.
As for the layout of the poems themselves, they are in simple, clear font and there may be two to a page, or even three. The poets are credited at the end of each poem.
This collection is a must for those new to poetry and those who have been immersed in it for years. It is well organised with themes arranged in their own chapters. The poems are not sorted by poet name or in alphabetical order, so you can just flick through and pick a poem to read which I find enlightening because of the huge range of styles provided.
For those of you looking to write your own poetry, this is a brilliant place to start because of the wide range of techniques used from the poets themselves.
A must have.

Great Britain historically was a land of refuge for those fleeing persecution. Karl Marx spent most of his adult life in the safety of the United Kingdom. Adam Osman Mohammed, a refugee from Darfur, came to England in 2005 having fled the horror that was Darfur for those who were not Arabs. He told British investigators for the Home Office that if he returned to Darfur there was a strong likelihood he would be killed. But, this is modern day England whose Socialist government has forgotten what happened to Socialists in the good old days. Mohammed returned to Khartoum where he spent a few weeks and being assured it was safe headed back to Darfur. His cousin, Mohammed Elzaki Obuseka, chair of the Darfur union in the UK, tells the rest of the story. "the government security forces had followed him to another village, Calgoo, where his wife and child had sought help. They came to the village and targeted him. They shot him in front of his wife and child."
Despite overwhelming evidence that returning to Darfur is dangerous for non-Arabs who become targets of the notorious janjaweed, the Home Office insists there is nothing to fear– except death, we assume. At least, there is nothing to fear for the Home Office. Shame on Great Britain. I guess if Karl Marx were alive today, he would be classified as a "terrorist" and returned to Germany.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I began banking at this bank when it was Guaranty Bank. I actually was moving to them from CHASE because I was with WAMU when they failed and CHASE took over. Guaranty failed a few months after I began banking there and I learned of this when I went online to check my account one weekend. It showed that BBVA Compass Bank was taking over. I have not banked with Compass before and didn't know anyone who had. I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue banking with them because of all the negatives I have heard and experienced from big banks. I wasn't sure who to bank with though so I used the account sparingly.
Over the weekend I received my first statement in a Compass bank envelope. I opened it up and found that their first official duty was to deduct a $15 inactivity fee on my personal account. I went today to ask for my money back and to close my account. When I got there, I was informed that they also had deducted $15 from my business account for the same reason.
When I signed up for these accounts through Guaranty, these were free accounts. There was no inactivity fee. So Compass imposed a fee that I did not sign up for nor agree to. So they get you coming and going. I thought banks wanted you to keep money sitting there? You could actually go broke doing absolutely nothing.
Thank you Compass for helping me to make up my mind about where not to bank.

I just filed complaints with the "Comptroller of the Currency Administrator of the National Banks and the "Federal Reserve Complaint" group to get my situation justified.

We stayed for two night in one of the cottages. The owner/operator was so nice! (Clarification: This site MADE me leave a rating for onsite dining...which they don't have. It wasn't "unsatisfactory" but n/a.) The rooms were clean & the beds were decent. The one criticism: They only have a tiny shower stall with a nonadjustable (as far as where it sprays) shower head. It was impossible to shower without getting your hair wet and shorter people/kids might have the spray directly on their face or over their heads. (Also, no blow dryer that I found so bring one!)

We stayed just before the summer season began. The owner was friendly, the cottage was cozy, comfortable and clean. It was a great starting point for our daily forays into Green Gables area (which we enjoyed a lot). It is a beautiful area, lots of green farmlands, very near the shore. Owner gave great advice for places to see, eat, and see sunset. Loved this place and would stay there again!

Very clean (always my top priority), nice firm beds, lots of space, homey feel with gardens and a small playground. Kitchen (on-site dining) was above our needs. Picturesque walk to the beach. Staff was very friendly. We all left very relaxed.

My husband & I were celebrating our anniversary with a weekend away to Kennebunk. I hadn't been in a while so I wasn't exactly sure where to stay. Shorelands was the best value I could find online, and I had searched for days....most of the hotels/inns/b&b's in Kennebunkport were $300-500 a night! granted it was Labor Day weekend, but still that's outrageous. I was a little nervous because some of the reviews I had seen online, mostly from 2012. We checked in with ease with the owner, I'm guessing and she was extremely pleasant and low key. We had our own parking space. Our room which was a "jacuzzi room", it had a huge bath tub with jets, at first I wasn't sure if I really wanted to use it but it was spotless, actually gleaming that I had to! Pure bliss. The pool is on the smaller side but decent with a few lounge chairs around it, the hot tub is amazing! The water was perfectly hot! About a 10 min walk to the beach, a little longer than I would like but its great because on your way to the beach you walk by a horse farm. Its like country then the beach....I had never seen that before, it was pretty cool. The beach itself was pretty quiet, almost seemed like it was private. They supplied bath towels and did come take our trash daily. To get downtown Kennebunkport, its too far to walk but an easy 5 minute drive. Overall one of the best long weekend trips I have had in a long time. I would recommend this place to any one. There were some couples and a few families, everyone seemed to be having a great time, not too noisy either. Plenty of space to cookout and grill with a few picnic tables and a fire pit. They also had a jungle gym for the kids that looked newer.

We had a nice stay. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. My husband raved about the beds! The mattress was the best he has ever slept on while we are away.

A typical beach cottage, bed was comfortable, a ceiling fan in the bedroom while there was an air conditioner in the dinning room/kitchen area. The only thing I found that was disheartening was the entrance door to the cottage. It was not very secure, any one if they wanted to could kick the door in; only a door knob lock was available, no bolt lock above. I ended up using the back of a kitchen chair to give me the feeling that I would be more secure.

Room was quaint, had everything we needed for a comfortable, back to nature stay! Very close to the beach! Only complaint is that it isn't really a "Bed and Breakfast"- didn't really serve breakfast.

Cottage was as expected from online website. Great location, close to private large beach, Shopping and restaurants. Very clean cottage and friendly staff. Muffins and Coffee were available daily. Pool, hot tub, basketball, Ping pong, kids swing set and bikes were all kept up Nice. Would stay here again and recommend to others.

I recently stayed here for a long weekend and i was very pleased! Compared to other cottages in the area, this property was eye appealing, boasting beautiful flowers and trees! The staff was friendly and the rooms were exceptionally clean! They have a nice swimming pool, hot tub, fire pit, and other amenities. What we loved most was that it is just about a half mile walk (the street has a beautiful view of a horse pasture and marshes) from the best beach in the area, parsons Beach! Also a quick drive to the main street with plenty of shops and resturants!

We stayed here because it was among the cheapest places we saw to stay in Maine. It was awesome! This is not a place for anyone looking for a Hilton-esque vacation. But it was super fun for us (20-somethings on a budget). We went to the grocery store nearby and bought dinner supplies. We grilled out on one of several of the gas grills. They had a stove, microwave, even a toaster. The rooms were clean and pretty spacious. The bathroom was very tiny though. Not a problem for us, but could be an issue for bigger people. The room was ideal for a couple, or maybe for a family with small children. It would be a tad crowded for 4 adults. All-in-all, we'd definitely stay there again. Highly recommend it.

The ongoing saga as to whether men can marry men or women can marry women has moved from the halls of Congress to the publicity departments of business organizations. Chicken-Fil-A announced it was upset that its chickens were being consumed by two men who claimed to be married. Anyone who has witnessed chickens in action knows only a male chicken will have sex with a female chicken. There are reports from Chicken-Fil-A headquarters that this business will only purchase chickens who stemmed from a male-female chicken marriage.
Cheerios has decided to get into the gay story. Its leadership made clear that if one consumes Cheerios, one is supporting gay and lesbian marriages. We have an unconfirmed report that a band of chickens have been dispatched to General Mills headquarters in order to peck away at Cheerio boxes. Mitt Romney announced that Cheerios would no longer be served at any event he attends. Mitt told the media: "I will not longer cheer for Cheerios, I intend to switch to Corn Flakes and hope Iowa farmers recognize the lengths to which I will go in order to support our working farmers."
Thank God we have at least one candidate for president who will not be distracted by unemployment figures and will remain focused on the Cheerio and Chicken battle.

Framing a Mirror
Any help would be appreciated.
I have built a mirror / coat rack combo. I have had a beveled mirror made and I am looking for ideas on how to mount the mirror in the oak frame. The frame has a 1/4 inch rabbitt and I have turn buttons. I just don't know the best way to finish off the back to preserve the mirror backing as well as the esthetics of the finished project.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Well one thing comes to mind is get a peace of veneer ¼ plywood to cut to the same shape as your back to hold the mirror in place and either screw the back on with brass screws or use your turn buttons to hold the mirror and backing in place.
Using 1\4 inch birch plywood should do a very nice job. Only one caution. Usually you can find such lumber cut to smaller sizes at the "STORE" and if not - some lumber yards have scraps of such around as remnants from millwork they're doing. In either case, try for the flattest piece you can find. I assume you have good sharp tools for cutting it down. Before you place it on the back of the mirror, use several layers of non color newspaper or soft brown paper against the silvering of the mirror. If you have any, that thin foam which covered the screen of your flat screen could be applied next. Then, applying the birch, cut 1/32 inch short of the true I D and turning the thumb screws. If any of the birch is sticking out - usually at a corner - predrill with a .0135" or so hand held push driver a pilot hole for a steel brad to keep the corner in question held fast. Sounds like you've done enough on this that i needn't go any further.

st: Dealing with survey data when the entire population is also in the dataset

st: Dealing with survey data when the entire population is also in the dataset
Fri, 24 Jul 2009 19:06:33 -0400
Hi --
I have a dataset in which the observation is a "case". I started with
a complete census of the ~4000 relevant cases; each of them gets a
line in my dataset. I have data filling a few variables about each of
them. (When they were filed, where they were filed, the type of
outcome, etc.)
I randomly sampled them using 3 strata (for one strata, the sampling
probability was 1, for another about .5, and for a third, about .75).
I end up with a sample of about 2000. I know much more about this
Ok, my question:
1) How do I use the svyset command to describe this dataset? It would
be easy if I just dropped all the non-sampled observations, but I
don't want to do that, because of question 2:
2) How do I compare something about the sample to the entire
population, just to demonstrate that my sample isn't very different
from that entire population on any of the few variables I actually
have comprehensive data about. I could do this simply, if I didn't
have to worry about weighting:
tabulate year sample, chi2
But I need the weights. In addition, I can't simply use weighting
commands, because in the population (when sample == 0), everything
should be weighted the same; the weights apply only to my sample (when
sample == 1). And I can't (so far) use survey commands, because I
don't know the answer to (1), above.
NOTE: Nearly all the variables I care about are categorical: year of
filing, type of case. But it's easy enough to turn them into dummies,
if that's useful.
Thanks for any help with this.

What are you saying, man? I realize everyones got their own opinion, but really? Listen, your web log is awesome. I like the efforts you put into it, particularly with the vids and the pics. But, come on. Theres gotta be a better way to say this, a way that doesnt make it seem like everybody here is stupid!
Thank you, I've just been searching for information about this topic for a while and yours is the greatest I have found out till now. But, what concerning the conclusion? Are you sure concerning the supply?
give you information prior to your flight which includes your boarding gate status and any delays it might be experiencing. http://www.nikeshoes1985.us/ also includes information on your flight
Good ?I should definitely pronounce, impressed with your website. I had no trouble navigating through all tabs and related information ended up being truly easy to do to access. I recently found what I hoped for before you know it at all. Reasonably unusual. Is likely to appreciate it for those who add forums or something, web site theme . a tones way for your client to communicate. Excellent task.
I've also been thinking the similar issue myself recently. Pleased to see somebody on the same wavelength! Nice article.
you're in point of fact a good webmaster. The web site loading speed is amazing. It kind of feels that you are doing any unique trick. Moreover, The contents are masterwork. you have done a wonderful activity on this matter!
Howdy, There's no doubt that your web site may be having web browser compatibility issues. When I take a look at your website in Safari, it looks fine however when opening in Internet Explorer, it's got some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other than that, wonderful site!
Hi, I do believe this is an excellent blog. I stumbledupon it ;) I will revisit once again since i have saved as a favorite it. Money and freedom is the greatest way to change, may you be rich and continue to help other people.
Hello there! This post could not be written any better! Reading through this article reminds me of my previous roommate! He constantly kept preaching about this. I will send this post to him. Fairly certain he's going to have a very good read. Many thanks for sharing!

San Bernardino County Supervisor Neil Derry reacted Wednesday to state charges that he laundered a campaign contribution, saying that if he made a mistake, he'll correct it.
Derry, who campaigned for the 3rd District supervisorial seat in 2008 on a platform of restoring public trust in county government, admitted to laundering a $5,000 campaign contribution from a Highland developer through a political action committee controlled by former county Assessor Bill Postmus, according to a state Department of Justice declaration filed in support of the criminal complaint Tuesday in San Bernardino Superior Court.
Derry met with his attorney, who he would not identify, Wednesday afternoon to discuss the situation, then issued a statement. He has declined requests for interviews since the allegations surfaced Tuesday.
"I have always tried to comply with the reporting requirements for my campaigns. If I made a mistake I will correct it," Derry said in his statement. "I was not informed of this supposed error before I received the (criminal) complaint, however, and have not been given the opportunity to voluntarily correct any mistake."
He said in the statement that as soon as he can review the facts of the case with his campaign treasurer and attorney, he will take whatever action they advise.
"Until that time I cannot make any further comment," Derry said.
Prosecutors have charged Derry with one felony count of perjury, one felony count of offering a false or forged document, and one misdemeanor count of failing to report a campaign contribution.
According to the declaration by state Department of Justice Special Agent Shannon Williams, Derry suggested to Highland developer Arnold Stubblefield that Stubblefield write a $5,000 check, intended for Derry, and make it payable to Postmus' political action committee, the Inland Empire PAC. In turn, the political action committee would contribute the money to Derry's campaign.
A $5,000 check from Stubblefield's company, Highland Town Shops, was deposited into the Inland Empire PAC account on June 25, 2007. On June 30, 2007, a $10,000 check from Inland Empire PAC was deposited into Derry's campaign account, according to Williams' declaration.
Derry never reported Stubblefield's contribution on his campaign disclosure forms, prosecutors allege.
Stubblefield could not be reached for comment.
Derry's future on the Board of Supervisors remained unclear Wednesday, but his chief of staff, George Watson, said Derry had no intention of resigning.
Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Josie Gonzales said Wednesday that the board will meet in closed session to discuss the Derry situation and how it may impact the county if it becomes necessary.
In 2009, the county commissioned former federal prosecutor John Hueston to begin an investigation to determine if the county had sufficient grounds to remove Postmus from his elected position as assessor. It came after Postmus was arrested on suspicion of methamphetamine possession and allegations of political malfeasance in the Assessor's Office surfaced, prompting investigations by both the Grand Jury and the District Attorney's Office.
Postmus subsequently resigned, and the scope of the investigation shifted to determine if the county had grounds to file a civil lawsuit against Postmus and other office staff to recoup losses. Hueston produced a lurid report detailing allegations of drug and alcohol use, chronic absenteeism and cronyism in the office, which prosecutors allege Postmus used primarily as a vehicle to bolster his political career.
The county filed its lawsuit against Postmus and five other executive staff members the same day Hueston's report was released to the public in May 2009.
Gonzales said the county is "nowhere close to even considering that option" for Derry.
"That's not anything that's on the table," Gonzales said. "I believe Supervisor Derry is doing his very best to address these issues before him."
