Is There A Problem of Ethics in Transit Consulting?
According to his blog, HumanTransit.org, Jarrett Walker has been a full-time consultant since 1991.
This quote is taken from a "conversation about expertise vs. activism" between Walker and an engineer named "Scotty" (From HumanTransit.org):
"Reputable consultants ought not take work that involves declaring that night is day, in an attempt to paper over a blatantly bad political decision. However, in situations like just described, there is plenty of work for reputable consultants to help transit agencies to make the best of a bad situation--if the political realities of a situation require that agency A implement a transit network using only mixed-traffic streetcar, and that other modes are off the table, a good consultant will help them design the best streetcar system that lies within their budget."
Scotty: "Often times the "values" in question aren't the values of the riders, the community, or the sponsoring agency, but those of the powerbrokers who ultimately control the fate of the project in question."

Less than one week after the launch of the new Facebook Pages, Buddy Media has announced that they are releasing a new system which assists brands in developing a presence through the Pages product. According to Mike Lazerow, the new service automates a lot of the process for developing a Facebook Pages presence by providing brands with a suite of tools.
The first client to use the Page Management Program Client is StockTwits, which was founded by Howard Lindzon, and is also ironically a Buddy Media investor. The Page Management System also enables brands to manage all of their Pages from within a single management system including moderating comments and maintenance of content.
So how does the new Page Management system look? We have no idea because there aren't screenshots of it yet but the company has gone ahead with the announcement on the heels of last week's Facebook announcement. Facebook Pages are going to become a central component of a brand's presence on the site which is why Buddy Media is announcing this program.
For those that don't want to have a fully customized application, Buddy Media will provide those clients with a discounted service that enables clients to create Pages with a pre-packed suite of products. We've inquired to find out when this new service will be available to all clients and will update the post as soon as we hear back.

Known to the world as Mavado or more recently "The Gully God", the singer behind the eerie wails of "Anywayyy!" and "Gangsta for life!" which have dominated the airwaves was born David Constantine Brooks on November 30, 1981 in the micro-ghetto community "Cassava Piece" within Kingston, Jamaica. Before getting his break in the music business, Brooks worked as a barber and his two main influences on the direction of his young life were his grandmother and the music of Bounty Killer. "To tell the truth" he explains, "it was me grandmother that first really bring me in the studio, 'cause she bring me in the church to sing. She always tell me to sing for her and that really give Mavado the courage to get to love music." But if the sweet sounds of gospel provided the motivation, it was the gruff voice of Bounty Killer that proved to be the more powerful influence. "As a youth, Sanchez and Wayne Wonder were really my two singers, Sanchez have the voice of an angel. But me and my friend always say 'Yo, Killer is the wickedest!' So long as it's Killer, it's just my song, trust me!"

Just two bars into his introduction to the world on LiveLoveAsap's "Trilla", Twelvyy makes a simple, yet prolific statement "going broke is not an option / always on that cashflow." realizing for many of us, opportunities come far and few between. While getting money is a trait that has become rather cliché for Harlem emcees throughout the years, the go-getter nature is truly exemplified in the most vocal member of the ASAP Mob. In a movement that has quickly gained the support and momentum of millions, success is the only option. To credit Yams, the mastermind behind Harlem's newest trill wave, ASAP is all about accumulating status and power. It's quiet for anything else.

Man arrested for DUI after chasing robber
COLUMBUS --- A 20-year-old Columbus man faces charges after police arrested him while he tried to chase several men who robbed him and his friends at gunpoint early Friday.
The unidentified man ended up wrecking his Ford Focus during the car chase and was charged with driving under the influence and crossing a center line.
Two Columbus State University students told police they were with the man and another male friend at a gas station about 2 a.m. when a man approached and demanded money at gunpoint. The robber took $300 from one of the men and three cell phones, then jumped into the green van and fled.
The two male victims then decided to get into their own vehicle and chase the van.

Reminder: Neighbors invited to design Ballard's newest park
The East Ballard Community Association is inviting neighbors to help design Ballard's newest park along 14th Avenue N.W. between N.W. 59th and N.W. 61st Street.
The park has been a multi-year project which started when resident and architect Peter Locke moved into the neighborhood and spotted underutilized space along 14th Avenue N.W.
After various studies, community meetings and bouncing around of ideas, the East Ballard Community Association came up with the idea of narrowing 14th Avenue between 59th and 61st street and turn the underutilized space into a Street Boulevard.
The project received funding from a Parks levy and in September of last year, EBCA selected landscape architect firm Mithun to work with neighbors on the design.
"This is the year you and your community are going to design a Park along 14th Ave NW between NW 59th and NW 61st. Not just on paper, but one for REAL! This is going to be a park designed the way the community wants it, because YOU are going to participate in this process," announced the EBCA in its newsletter.
EBCA, Seattle Parks, and Mithun will host a Public Involvement meeting on January 24, advertsied as "a fun-filled evening focused on the design of this new Park".
This will be the second of two community involvement meetings, which are great opportunities for locals to provide input.
"This is for real now and the community's input is valuable. We really want this park to be designed by the community," she said.
The meeting will take place Wednesday, March 7 from 7:00 p.m. till 8:30 p.m.
at the St. Alphonsus School cafeteria, 5816 15th Ave NW.

Even Queen faces funding squeeze in austerity Britain
By Keith Weir
LONDON (Reuters) - Queen Elizabeth became the latest Briton to face a funding squeeze on Thursday when the government proposed changes to how it pays for royal trips and engagements.
The Conservative-led government, which is imposing cost cuts and tax rises on more humble Britons, plans to finance the royal family by providing a 15 percent slice of profits from a property portfolio belonging to the monarchy.
"The current estimate is that the 15 percent formula means that by 2014-15, the last year of this Parliament, the Monarch will receive around 35 million pounds ($56 million)," Finance Minister George Osborne told parliament.
"In cash terms that is broadly in line with what they spent in recent years. In real terms it is an around 9 percent cut over the Parliament," he added, taking inflation into account.
Under a settlement with King George III in 1760, profits from the monarchy's Crown Estate properties go to the Treasury while the monarch received a fixed annual payment.
Osborne said his proposal meant that the amount of money going to the queen would now be linked to the performance of the economy. The new "Sovereign Grant" will replace three different payments -- the one from the Treasury, and additional support from the departments of transport and culture.
Royal spending will also face the same level of parliamentary scrutiny as other government departments.
" new Sovereign Grant ... balances the public interest that our Queen is properly funded to carry out her official duties and the completely legitimate interest of the taxpayer in proper accountability and value for money," Osborne said. Continued...

I love my daddy, i really do. but he drives me nuts. he "chases" me around the house so he can carry me downstairs, or take me upstairs, or just hold me. He comes and pets me all the time, and yesterday, he FORCED me to go outside.
Course when i wanted to go out, at night, when no one was around, neither he nor mommy would let him.
Between Daddy's desire to make me a dog and play with him, and the Interloper's anoying presence (she scares me, and i don't tell mommy why), my life is a total stress job.
Luckily, mommy just picks me up, cuddles me for a few seconds till i say "stop" then lets me down. not sure i even like that, but at least she limits it
I guess i aint posted since we moved into the new house.
Guess what, i have THREE floors to play in, and no one there to bug me cept the Interloper - but she mostly stays upstairs with mommy and daddy!
The food and the litter boxes and the warm bed we all 4 share, is upstairs, so i still sleep there - but Im sure to find tons of mices in this big new house.
Mommy likes to sit in this new chair they call a "recliner". i hop right up there, and cuddle away.
Life is great.
It's been a week since the vet stole 6 of my beautiful (if not rotten) teeth from me. I am spending much more time with mommy and daddy now - cause i'm not scared that they will goop me anymore.
food is good now that i can chomp away with no pain !

Napa Wooden Seat Swivel Bar Height Bar Stool (28-1/2"H seat) is rated out of 5 by 24.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Beachsun from Excellent quality We purchased wooden seat bar height stools. They were well packaged, and very well constructed. Sturdy and attractive in brown. Should last years. Great purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Turbofletch from Black leather counter height swivel chairs are per We bought 4 of the black napa leather swivel chairs in early 2014 and they are still in perfect condition and sturdy. We originally had others that were 1/3 of the price, but it is not a good deal when you have to replace them every year. That said, we bit the bullet and bought the Frontage black leather ones and it was a great decision. we are moving and looking to have an even larger bar area, so I plan on buying 4 more of these when all is said and done. Please keep making these Frontage!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by SavonaNona from Couldn't Be Happier With This Purchase Purchased six of the bar stool height stairs over 1-1/2 years ago. Could not believe how well the chairs were packed in their shipping boxes. Outstanding! Yes, when you first open the box you do get a 'chemical' smell (the smell of whatever stain or paint you select). Having read about this from other buyers, we got all six chairs out of the boxes, put them together (very easy), then set them in the garage for a couple of nights. When we brought them into the house, no odor. We live in a very, very dry environment (Las Vegas, NV), so I was concerned about the wood and leather drying out prematurely. So far, we've had no issues and lack of wear exceeds our expectations. Extremely comfortable chairs (all our guests have wanted to take them home) and the swivel works very well.

We ordered two of the black and they were perfect right out of the box. Assembled easily with no hitches. It's the perfect height for our island....just love them! Just another great purchase from Frontgate!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ramada from Napa Bar Stool The Frontgate company will be my "go to" place when I need to purchase items for my home. I placed my order on a Monday, and the items arrived in three days in excellent condition. The stools are of the highest quality and are a perfect additional to my bar/counter area. The wood color matches that of my cabinetry perfectly. The seat cushions and the high backs provide comfortable seating.

Rated 5 out of 5 by patelp from napa bar stools we love them and we have them for 4 yrs ..look great in any bar or kitchen area..we are looking for similar looking chairs but can not find anywhere for kitchen nook...it is a pity that designers/buyers at front gate do not realise how popular these are and not making similar priced chairs for kitchen tables ..they will sell lots of them

Rated 5 out of 5 by IdahoRanchwife from Even Better Than Expected First of all, I ordered five of these counter-height stools late on a Monday afternoon & they arrived Friday morning. Wow! It was the easiest assembly I've ever done. They are very sturdy & I'm confident they'll stand up to our big farm boys. They are really comfortable AND absolutely beautiful! I have looked for years for the perfect stools & I was nervous about ordering online without being able to see them or sit in them, but they are far beyond what I was hoping to find.

Napa bar stool Linen or leather seat - can it be replaced/recovered?
I want to purchase the White Napa bar stools which have the option of a wooden seat or the linen cushion seat. I would prefer the linen cushion option but I have 3 kids so I don't even want to think about the kinds of stains they will manage to get on the linen fabric if I choose that option - anyone with kids knows what I mean! Of course, I can buy the wooden seat bar stools and simply purchase seat cushions to make them more comfortable but I would prefer to buy the cushioned bar stool with the linen fabric. What I need to know is if these bar stools will allow you to remove the seat so that you could remove the linen fabric and replace it with a new fabric. Many other chairs with a fabric seats like dining room chairs allow you to just remove the seat so you can recover/ replace the fabric. I just need to know if the seats on the Napa bar stools can be removed so that they could be recovered/replaced with a new fabric. If not, I will likely have to go with the wooden seat option which is really not my first choice. Please advise. Thank you!
We do not recommend removing the seat from the Napa Swivel Bar Stool. Removing the fabric on the fabric seat option could void your warranty. We recommend spot cleaning of using the wooden seat option with a stool cushion instead.

How much space is recommended between chairs?
We're trying to determine if we can fit 3 or 4 chairs at our counter. How long should the counter be to comfortably hold 4 chairs and adults?
Our counter is 8' and 4 bar stools fit comfortable.

why do my 1/4 turn valves leak?
Darn it! I try to look like a pro on my kitchen remodel, so I sweat on 1/4 turn valves (with the valves open) and now two of the three are dripping ever so slightly when turned off. Did I use too much heat? Or is it dirt? Defective valves? Defective do-it-your-selfer??? I am not going to switch them out as I also stubbed them to close to the wall, and I am in a rush to get the kitchen done for x-mas... I am using 3/8" caps to keep moisture off the new sink base shelf until I hook up the supply's... Gee why didn't I just use regular valves and take the stems out? When they leak I can change the washer. Any help with what's will be appreciated, any advice about how to fix the drips would be a x-mas present!!!
Are these ball valves or Dahl quarter turn stops?
If you soldered a ball valve in in the open position, IT SHOULD NOT LEAK. The teflon seals can stand soldering temperatures.
Take a close look at a new valve wherever you bought your quarter turn valves and see if there's a packing nut on it under the handle. It might be leaking from the packing. That happens with me a lot because I specifically choose ball valves that have a large gap between the bottom of the packing nut and the top of the valve body.
In the mean time, maybe put a pail under the leak and post back what you've found out. Is it a ball valve? Does it have a packing nut? Describe as best you can where it's leaking from.
I'd encourage you to stick with ball valves, but choose ball valves with packing nuts. Nowadays some companies are making ball valves without packing nuts, which in my view is dumb. They figure the valve will never leak, I'd prefer to be able to tighten a packing nut if it does.
If you do switch to "regular" valves like globe valves or gate valves, remember this:
Nowadays lots of the better quality globe or gate valves (like KITZ and NIBCO) come WITHOUT a gasket between the bonnet nut and the valve body. They claim that the mating surface between the bonnet nut and the valve body is so perfectly machined that you can have brass to brass contact at that point and the valve won't leak. That is in fact true, but the bonnet nut is tightened up so $#%&ing much that you quite simply can't take the bonnet nut off without wrecking the copper piping the valves are soldered on to.
So, remember this: Take the bonnet off BEFORE soldering the valve in. You can do this by going to your local machine shop, putting the (typically) 8 sided bonnet nut in a vice, wrapping a towel around the valve body (so as not to leave pipe wrench teeth marks in it) and twisting the valve body relative to the bonnet nut with a large pipe wrench. (I put the pipe wrench perpendicular to the valve body and twist so the SIDES of the jaws apply the force near the base of the inlet and outlet where the brass is thicker and stronger to avoid making either inlet or outlet out-of-round.
Also, the reason they make the valves with 8 sided packing nuts is to tell you that you CAN take the bonnet off, but you shouldn't cuz the valve will leak without being retightened to the same torque. But, that's not a problem since you can use a teflon back-up ring.
Since there won't be a gasket between the bonnet nut and the valve body, phone any place that sells pneumatic or hydraulic equipment and ask who sells O-rings in your area. Go to that place with the valve body and bonnet and ask for a TEFLON BACK-UP RING to fit between them. That will serve as your gasket and allow you to re-assemble the valve with only moderate torque so that it doesn't leak so that you can remove the bonnet nut in future while the valve is in service.
Note that if you have an 8 sided bonnet nut, you can still use a socket to remove it, but you have to use an 8 POINT socket meant for square nuts. Basically, you find the socket that's large enough so that the POINTS of the socket just fit over the FLATS of the bonnet nut. That way, with a point just touching the middle of each flat, you can turn the socket and it will turn the bonnet nut just like a Snap-On flank drive socket. (This is important if you have valves inside the wall as I do, and you can't access them from the opposite side of the wall, as I can't.) Also, an 8 sided 1 inch bonnet nut will fit LOOSELY inside a 1 inch 8 point socket. The ratio in size is cosine (22 1/2 degrees) or 0.92388. So, if you have a bonnet nut with opposite flats 1 inch apart, you need a 0.92388 inch 8 point socket, or a 14.78/16ths socket. In this case, you'd buy a 7/8 inch socket and have your local machinist put it in a lathe and machine the points down until it just slips over the bonnet nut.

- "My sweet boys. Petyr, Tommard, Edric..."
- ―Queen Selyse Baratheon
Edric Baratheon is one of the stillborn sons of Stannis Baratheon by his wife, Selyse Florent. His mother keeps his corpse in a glass jar on display in her chamber along with his also stillborn brothers, Tommard and Petyr.

Behind the scenes
Staff writer Bryan Cogman came up with the idea of the stillborn fetuses being preserved in jars. Cogman said in an interview, "It was a proud day for me as a writer when I walked on set and saw those magnificently nasty prop dead babies floating in those jars."[1]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire book series, there is no mention Selyse Baratheon having any stillborn sons.
He shares a name with King Robert's one acknowledged bastard from the novels: Edric Storm. For the TV series, Edric Storm's storyline in the third novel is merged with Gendry's.
To be clear: Selyse's stillborn son "Edric Baratheon" is not the TV series's "version" of Edric Storm. Selyse isn't stated to have any stillborn sons in the novels, thus the writers had to make up names for all three - and they tried to remain internally consistent by choosing other common names used for characters from the Stormlands in the books.

As a former manager of Queens Park Rangers, Neil Warnock has first-hand experience of just how inspiring and infuriating Adel Taarabt can be.
Warnock knew the midfielder was the key to QPR reaching the Premier League but also that the Moroccan could implode at any minute. In his new book, Warnock tells a story highlighting just why Taarabt divides opinion.
It's January 2011 and QPR, leading the Championship but feeling the pressure after one win in four matches, are playing at Hull City . . .
Ten minutes before the break Adel completely lost it. He was unhappy the ref hadn't given him a foul and then he thought a couple of players didn't pass to him quickly enough. He argued with Dezza [Shaun Derry], then he signalled he wanted to be subbed. I ignored him. Curly [coach Keith Curle] was watching. "He wants to come off, gaffer."
"Just ignore him."
"What do you mean?"
"Ignore him. If he wants to come off, let him come over here and ask."
At half-time I told Curly to get onto the pitch and escort Adel off to avoid him arguing with the ref, his team-mates or the Hull fans who were on his back. I didn't want him sent off.
In the dressing room, I tried to calm him down. I told him: "You're captain, you can't come off just because their fans are giving you stick." Then I told the lads to give him the ball earlier. I knew some were unhappy with him but I'd already explained to a number of them we needed to keep him on board to get us where we wanted to be. No one else would score the goals to take us to the Promised Land. If they wanted to have a verbal with Adel we'd all lose.
In the second half Adel did okay but we had to settle for a draw. Next day I was doing a radio show when my phone flashed. It was a text from Adel.
"Gaffer. I'm very sorry for what I did yesterday. It was just because I feel we can win the game in the first half. I know I have to control myself. I am working on it." That summed him up. It wasn't like an English player having a strop, this is how he reacts. People forgot he was only 21 and every team was going to try and kick lumps out of him. We had to take the rough with the smooth.
On Monday, before training, I showed Dezza and Clint [Hill] the text. Dezza had been fretting about how Adel had let the team down. I had to reiterate to them that while it would be easy to fall out with Adel, they couldn't afford to if they wanted to play in the Premier League.
Then I told Adel how disrespectful to me the incident was. I said I classed myself as part of his family. "Would you treat your father like you did me?"
"No, gaffer. I'm sorry."
"The answer I want, and the way to apologise to the team, is to get us all three points tomorrow against Portsmouth."
Needless to say, he scored the first in our 2–0 victory and made the second. Clint scored that goal and as he ran back after celebrating he gave me a wink and a nod. We both knew neither of us would ever come across another player like Adel in our careers.
Another extract from the book reveals how Taarabt stepped in to break a fight during training . . .
The daft thing was the two players who got involved, Shaun Derry and Jay Bothroyd, were playing on the same team. Dezza had a go at Bothroyd and Bothroyd had a go back. The lads separated them but they went straight back at each other. I sent them both off. They were still at it in the dressing room.
After a while we brought them back and Joey Barton got involved.
"Why is it always you, Jay?"
"What are you talking about, what's it to do with you?"
So those two start and guess who got in between them? Adel Taarabt! He was holding Joey saying: "No, calm down, calm down."
It was so funny. I spoke to Dezza and Jay: "I don't mind a fracas but if anyone throws a punch or head-butts somebody they're sacked."
And with the spirit of good will to all men flowing through the club, we all went home to celebrate Christmas.
The Gaffer by Neil Warnock is published by Headline, RRP £16.99.

Get Application Optimization Right in the Cloud Era
Posted by James Staten on March 31, 2014
- 25 Recommendations
- 2 comments
There's a new and refreshing trend in my conversations with CIOs and IT leaders — acknowledgement that cloud services are here to stay and a desire to proactively start taking advantage. But to get this right takes the right approach to application portfolio optimization. And we've just released a new version of our Strategic Rightsourcing tool that helps you do just that.
The decision to proactive embrace cloud services is quickly followed by two questions:
- How to prepare my IT organization to be cloud-forward?
- What apps to move to the cloud?
The first question is a much longer answer than can be summarized here. Suffice it to say that your approach to technology management needs to shift from "we run it" to "we help the company take advantage of it." In the Forrester Cloud Playbook and in the Service Management and Automation Playbook you will find great collections of reports that help you drive this change in your organization.
The question of which apps to move to the cloud is also complicated but starts with a very simple premise based on two key thoughts:
- Which applications are we wasting company resources running ourselves?
- Which of these applications fit what type of cloud deployment?
Answering these questions, especially the first one, is not as straightforward as it might seem and can be fraught with political and cultural barbs. It's easy to jump to a conclusion for the first question - commodity services. But what applications are really a commodity? And by whose standards? E-mail can easily be lumped into the commodity category and may be a logical place to start at your company. But how you configure, manage and integrate with this service is what will really determine how much of a commodity it really is to your organization. For example, is your e-mail uniquely secured? Have you built key workflow processes that tie into your implementation? Do you have a rich library of e-mail templates and forms used to kick off internal processes? These questions can turn what looks like a commodity into a key internal system that is configured, customized and operated so uniquely that you couldn't find anyone who could run it better than you do. Let alone consider switching to a SaaS-based solution.
Or have you customized, integrated and convoluted the way you use e-mail so much that at this point any e-mail system would be better than what you have now?
Which perspective is right? That answer might lie in the eyes of the beholder. Get both sides of this argument in the same room and you may never come out with a conclusion either way.
It's for these reasons that Forrester created, our Strategic Rightsourcing tool, an Excel-based decision tool that takes an objective look at your application portfolio so you can arbitrate these kinds of discussions. It's focus is to help you answer the above two questions by characterizing each application in your portfolio through a series of questions about its use, operations, management, security, and architecture. The answers spit out scores for each application helping you determine which apps are your best moves to the cloud. Each application is scored as to how easily it could be moved (it actually breaks your portfolio into three phases for consideration, based on migration/transition complexity) and to which type of cloud deployment. And the tool isn't limited to cloud deployments. It takes into consideration that for some enterprise applications a move to traditional outsourcing or traditional hosting might be more appropriate.
Our Strategic Rightsourcing tool is based on 5 years of client engagements around the issue of portfolio optimization. It is built from best practices taken from enterprises who have gone the farthest with cloud implementations and is used by Forrester analysts and Forrester Consulting in deep client engagements. Clients can download the tool for free, as part of their subscription, or engage us to facilitate the use of the tool.
So don't approach the portfolio optimization problem with gut feel or by responding to SaaS come-ons from your strategic vendors. Start with a measured plan that uses objective evaluations. Be strategic and don't just outsource but rightsource.
You are right on, James. A
Comment from Terence Ngai on Thu, 04/10/2014 - 22:08
You are right on, James. A lot of the customers I work with want to move applications like ERP, financial, and CRM to the cloud to reduce costs. They also want to run mobile applications in the cloud for maximum flexibility. Planning before you move your applications really helps avoid issues down the road.
Great article on strategic

Most students understand the importance of internships, but finding the right opportunity can be challenging. Because experiential learning is vital to the CWRU MEM program, matching students with industry partners was a top priority when Laura Marshall joined the staff in April—and she's placed 90 percent of the students who wanted positions as Commercialization Associates (CAs), with most of them starting work in September.
"The accelerated placement means these students will gain nearly a full year of work experience and a longer time to incorporate practical application of their MEM coursework," Laura says. "This is significantly greater than the typical eight-week college internship, making Case Western Reserve University MEM graduates highly productive upon entering the workplace." CA interns are sometimes hired by their employers for full-time positions after graduation, as they've demonstrated their abilities and fit with the organizations' cultures.
As Senior Business Director of Industrial Education Programs and Entrepreneurial Projects, Laura's primary focus is mentoring students and building relationships with the corporate community to increase awareness of the MEM program and the opportunities it offers to access engineering and management talent through course projects, internships, CAs, and full-time hires. When she came on board, she felt she could "hit the ground running" due to many long-term relationships in the engineering community from her 15 years with ASM International. She says the increased number of CA positions came from new organizations as well as from existing industry partners expanding their usage of CA talent. In addition, five CA positions came from the Partnership for Innovation.
Commercialization Associates work between 10 to 20 hours per week in paid positions, however, Laura stresses that the emphasis is on education. "These are experiences to support what's going on in the classroom," she explains. "The value for students is the realization of MEM knowledge through practical application, as well as the chance to increase their technical skills." Employers tell her they benefit from having the talents of "the best and the brightest" who are very quick on the uptake and are serious about their careers. Plus, they say students bring a different frame of reference. She says one shared that the CA had an idea to put out Twitter messages about a company product and explained how to use new media to accomplish marketing goals. Because the CA positions are part of the MEM educational program, employers are able to access international talent and CWRU handles the paperwork to ensure that non-domestic students are in compliance with all regulations.
Laura tries to bring employers closer to the students' classroom learning by talking about the curriculum, understanding their needs, and drawing parallels where possible. For example, she notes that all companies today are taking a project management approach; MEM students use project management software in their Summer Semester Project Management course. The program strives to keep coursework relevant to the needs of industry.
In looking at the other side of the matchmaking equation, she works one-on-one with students, asking each about his or her goals and interests as well as specific career direction. Then, she reviews employers' needs to find the experience that is most supportive of the student's objectives and will help in building a résumé. For example, one student wants to work for a start-up in the medical device industry, and Laura matched her with a regional technology development and consulting organization that assists early-stage companies. Another student also has a BME undergraduate degree, and would prefer to work for a large company; Laura placed her as a CA for a $2 billion materials company. "My role is that of liaison to assure that everyone benefits," she says. "That way, both the students and the employers will get more from the experience."
Her personal oversight will continue throughout the duration of the internships to monitor progress and resolve any issues that may arise—including making a change if it's not a good fit.
Opportunities for companies
Not all students want CA internships, and not all companies are located nearby or have that type of need. Class projects to be solved by MEM students teams are another important element of experiential learning. Laura is now reviewing companies with projects for the year-long Product and Process Design and Development class, taught by MEM Faculty Director and inventor/entrepreneur Dr. Gary Wnek and Weatherhead School of Management professor Dr. Stan Cort. Past projects have come from large corporations such as Timken and General Electric locally and Baxter Healthcare and Parsons from out-of-state, as well as from smaller companies, start-ups, and design firms. She also is looking for area companies that might offer plant tours and presentations for next Summer Semester's Materials and Manufacturing Processes class.

Mechanism for decomposition of aurichalcite—A controlled rate thermal analysis study
Frost, Ray L., Locke, Ashley J., Martens, Wayde N., Hales, Matthew C., Vagvolgyi, Veronika, & Kristof, Janos (2008) Mechanism for decomposition of aurichalcite—A controlled rate thermal analysis study. Thermochimica Acta, 468(1-2), pp. 81-86.
|PDF (202kB)
Controlled rate thermal analysis (CRTA) of a series of synthetic aurichalcite (Zn,Cu2+)5(CO3)2(OH)6 with the ratio of Cu/Zn varying from 0.1 to 0.5 proves that the dehydroxylation and carbonate loss occur as non-isothermal and isothermal decompositions. The temperature of the thermal decomposition increases as the Cu/Zn ratio increases. Thermal decomposition of aurichalcite provides a method for preparing mixed oxide catalysts at the molecular level as opposed to the particle level. CRTA technology enables separation of the processes of dehydration, dehydroxylation and decarbonation. X-ray diffraction of the products of the thermal decomposition proved to be a mixture of the oxides ZnO and Cu2O.

He wanted to give a voice to the voiceless, comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable.
And overwhelmingly, the communities who suffer the most are those who are the most vulnerable and voiceless.
They were gathered there, Black said, to be a "voice for the voiceless."
Is giving voice to the voiceless worth less than other work?
This is the selfless organization that stands up for the voiceless and abused.
Mr. Kidd leaned up against the wall for support; Mr. Brown stood open-mouthed and voiceless.
So I am only one of the voiceless, that I remember one of you singers had some verses about.
All was solitude, a voiceless desolation of river, marsh, and sea.
Sometimes these thanks are voiceless, but they do not fall to the ground.
He'd give all the voiceless, unorganized victims of the Leff Law a reason for rebellion—and offer them an example.

Democratic Delegates Have a Change of Heart, Vote to Reinstate Jerusalem Into Party Platform
posted at 6:50 pm on September 5, 2012 by Matt Vespa
As I mentioned earlier today, the 2012 Democratic platform did not advocate Jerusalem as Israel's capital. However, it appears the Democratic delegates had a change of heart and voted today to reinstate this position into their platform. Although, this move was met with disappointment with the more pro-Palestinian wing of the party.

Greece Asks for Emergency Aid
Greece's Prime Minister, George Papandreaou, has officially asked the International Monetary Fund and its fellow European Union countries to enact a financial rescue package to help the country out of debt.
Papandreaou cited the precarious state of the Greek economy -- compounded by the rising cost of borrowing money to sustain it, and the failure of measures designed to stabilize it -- among the reasons why he decided to formally request the aid, according to The Associated Press.
"It is a national and pressing necessity for us to formally ask our partners for the activation of the support mechanism, which we jointly created in the European Union," he said, speaking from the Aegean Island of Kastelorizo on Friday, according to The AP.
The aid package, which still needs to be approved by the euro zone nations and the I.M.F., could provide up to €45 billion, or $60 million, to the struggling nation, according to The New York Times. The I.M.F. is expected to contribute €12 billion, and euro zone nations could provide up to €30 billion.
Greece's financial woes are expected to be among the major topics at a meeting of the G-20 nations in Washington, D.C. today. Financial leaders will meet at the I.M.F. in Washington, D.C. this afternoon.

Wheel paint
Im wanting to paint my winter rims (stock 99 wj wheels). I want a glossy black finish. Anyone know of any good wheel paint? I know plastidip is like a matte finish.
Re: Wheel paint
I'm sure that there are good paints for wheels but I just looked into this as a modification for my daughter's Mustang and I settled on having a local shop powder coat them gloss black. I just dropped them off this morning in fact. Cost is $50/ wheel not including dismounting and re-mounting/ balancing the tires.
Re: Wheel paint
$50 a tire is a pretty good price. Ill have to look into powder coating them + dismount/remount and balancing.
Re: Wheel paint

They just sent me a text with a picture of the first one done. The job will take two days, she can drive the car with the wheels on for three weeks while they fully cure then I take them back to get them buffed to fully bring out the gloss.
Re: Wheel paint
Wheels look good! I'll def check it out. Thanks for the pic!
Re: Wheel paint
Re: Wheel paint
I have used the Duplicolor productions on two different sets of wheels. On the first set I painted I sanded, primed and painted with the color coat and did not clear coat. I don't know how this handled time as I traded the vehicle (98 Cherokee Classic) shortly after all the work. The second set (B15 Sentra 6-spokes) I sanded the stock painted surfaces, applied the green self-etching primer, several coats of color, and two coats of clear. I think a third coat would have helped but I ran out of time to do it.

For over 4 years now, IGN as a whole has been forced to endure a terrible scourge upon their virtual land. Through blogs, comments, posts, and other behind the scenes ways, he has nefariously caused disturbance upon disturbance and helped bring about the almost-ruination of MyIGN as we know it.
That man is me.
To be it mildly, I am a virus, infecting and spreading through your community. I will charm you, then I will corrupt you. It has happened to so many already. 3000+ followers, long term friendships on and offline, some of you even work for me on another gaming site that shall not be named (also evil!). Have you noticed the corruption? The very pollution and darkness swarming over your poor, innocent souls? Yeah, that's me. I am the ooze, baby.
There is something you can do about it though. You can choose to end the tyranny. Support BANLIT2014, an IGN-specific operation designed to take me down a peg or two! It's time MyIGN stood up and made a unifying force to combat this rampant tyrant. Maybe this will get rid of me once and for all!

NBC's phenomenal show "Hannibal" is coming home, and we have the first details and box art for you hot and fresh along with a gag reel that played at this year's Comic-Con! Dig it!
From the Press Release
Hannibal: Season One, the new addictive series on NBC from Gaumont International Television that has audiences everywhere on the edge of their seats, will be available for the first time on Blu-ray Disc, DVD and Digital Download September 24 from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. From Bryan Fuller, the co-creator of TV's "Wonderfalls" and "Pushing Daisies," David Slade, the director of Hard Candy and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and based on the novels of Thomas Harris, Hannibal: Season One delves into the complex mind of iconic villain Hannibal Lecter.
Starring a critically acclaimed cast including Emmy® Award nominee Hugh Dancy (Elizabeth I, Showtime's "The Big C"), Academy® Award nominee Laurence Fishburne (What's Love Got to Do with It, Lead Actor, 1993, TV's "CSI," The Matrix) and Palme d'Or winner Mads Mikkelsen (Best Actor, The Hunt; Casino Royale), the "deliciously disturbing" (Chicago Sun Times) series captured TV audiences, premiering to over 4.3 million viewers.
FBI Agent Will Graham (Dancy) hunts the most notorious serial killers. Graham is both gifted and cursed with an extraordinary ability: he can think like his prey, seeing what they see and feeling what they feel. What he doesn't know is that his new partner is the most notorious serial killer of all. While pursuing an especially troubling, cannibalistic murderer, Special Agent Jack Crawford (Fishburne) teams Graham with a highly respected psychiatrist – a man with a taste for the criminally minded: Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mikkelsen). Dr. Lecter tests Graham every step of the way, toying with him and playing a game all his own, while they work to unravel the mystery and catch the killer. Like only Lecter can, he twists Graham's mind, daring him to question everything he knows about others…and himself.
The complete first season contains all 13 episodes, including one episode never before aired on TV, plus audio commentaries on select episodes, deleted scenes, a gag reel, storyboards and multiple featurettes that cut deep into the creation of the series. The Hannibal: Season One Blu-ray Disc and DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of $39.97 and $39.98, respectively.

gas water heater testing
I have two gas water heaters. Both are 50 gallon, about 5 years old.
One seems to perform fine.
The second one does not seem to delver hot water very quickly... it
takes several minutes of running the hot water to get hot water to
actually come out... . The tank is right above the faucet, so it doesn't
seem like that path the water would go is very far. The temperature
on the 2nd unit is set hotter than the first unit, but the 2nd unit seems
to run out of hot water faster....
I compared my gas bill ( this is my first house with gas ) to a buddy
at work... We used the gas heater ( for room heat ) some this month, but
not a lot and we used 2x as much gas as he did..... our electricty usage
was about the same.... 1200kwh. I used 6mcf and he used 3mcf for the
I know with electric water heaters, there are dual elements and
(sometimes ) dual thermometers that need to be replaced... not
sure about gas... I'd bet $$$ that neither water heater has been
drained ever....
Any thing I can look for / do before I call a plumber...
Thanks - jack
The water heater just makes water. It has nothing to do with the time it takes to deliver water to a faucet. I take it there heaters are not located next to one another? Are you sure the faucet above the water heater in question isn't in fact tied into the further water heater? And you're sure the plumbing doesn't go through some strange route feeding that faucet last? Do you have a re-circulating line even if it is currently unused?
The only way for one water heater to physically loose volume is to fill up with sediment. It is possible that your water heater has a lot of sediment in it. It is also possible for one to get more sediment but they should be fairly close.
Comparing gas bills is very difficult. Remember that you have two tanks and he probably only has one. Even if his is larger one 100 gallon unit will use less gas than 2 50 gallon units. Then it depends how much hot water the heaters get. It's pretty cheap to keep hot water sitting in the tank but start taking 3 showers a day, doing laundry, dishes, washing your hands, etc and the water heaters start working and consuming more gas. You also used a gas boiler or furnace as you said. Water heaters do loose efficacy as they fill with sediment though.
First look at your hot water lines to be sure they're run correctly and aren't doing some wacky thing running different corners of the house. The next is to flush your water heaters. Do a search on that here or even Google and you'll find some good writeups. I'd be prepared with brass caps on hand for the boiler drains on the water heaters as sometimes they won't shut fully once you open them. For $2 it's good insurance.
If you have to replace the heaters which you shouldn't as they're not too old consider installing one larger unit in a central location or at one of your current locations with a re-circulating line. If you really use a lot of water an 80 gallon tank should be plenty, most homes only have a 50 or 60 gallon tank.
It sounds like the dip tube is damaged. This will cause the cold water to flow directly from the inlet to the outlet without mixing with the hot. The dip tube is on the hot water outlet and extends to the bottom of the tank to draw the hot water from there.
1 Attachment(s)
Hi guys:
Hey...in my area dip tubes are installed on cold water inlets. See pic.
The idea is that cold water is introduced at the bottom of the heater where it can be heated and rise to the hot water outlet. It also aids in flushing the water heater.
Just wondering. Let me know.
lol, good pic Boston! My bad. You are correct, of course!
Either way, I think the dip tube may be the problem. Sometimes you do have to lean the heater over to replace it.
In terms of replacing dip tube, sometimes need to drain heater and tip heater over...sometimes don't. Either way, poster needs to cut the cold water pipe, remove nipple and see if can pull that dip tube out. As in my pic. above, dip tube should be within 6 inches to 1 foot of bottom of heater...if not, if say 1/2 way up, or simply can't find under nipple (meaning dip tube fell in/off) then need to replace the dip tube.
I just didn't want the poster to pull the hot water nipple/pipe is all...good day all.
Thanks guys... I still haven't done anything with this yet.... more symptoms...
on one sink, I have to run the water for 60 seconds before I get hot
on one sink.... ( different time of day ) I have to run the water for 10
seconds before I get got water. I'm pretty sure that those are on different
water heaters... but I'm not 100% sure.
Both water heaters are identical models. They were installed at the same.
They are both Gas units. They are about 50 feet apart, installed in the
Attic. Both are about 5 years old... and both were turned off for over
a year. I don't know if they were drained or if they were full while
they were turned off.
The 'good' water heater is on the 'middle setting' and it's got good
hot water and starts giving hot water after 10 seconds or so. The 'bad'
water heater was on the 'middle setting +1' and it the water was hot...
but not that hot... not as hot as the 'good' one... I have moved it to
'middle setting +2' and it does provide hot water, but... it takes a
minute or so to get going....
I plan on turning off the 'bad' water heater and draining it. I'll be able to
figure out what systems are fed off of which water heater.
Before I cut any pipes and look at the dip tube... this is in my attic so it's
not real easy to work on.... is there an easy way to figure out if there
is a lot of sediment build up inside?
Thanks - jack
Whenever we've installed multiple heaters, its always cold in one, and hot out, then hot into the second and hot out to the house. I would think that
this should remain the same no matter where the heaters are in your house.
There's not really an easy way to check for sediment... you can hook a hose to your drain and try draining it, and if it's slow or no flow at all there's probably sediment (don't forget to turn off power first!!!)
The problem with this is that if there's sediment, you may have a hard time shutting it off due to sediment blocking the valve. Basically once you start draining it, you'll have to finish. I would load up on towels up there just in case.
You can use a compressor to help blow the water out of it, but you'll need to come up with some type of adapter. We made one at our shop that works quite well.
As for not being able to shut it off that's why I mentioned having brass boiler drain caps handy. For $3 you have a failsafe should you not be able to shut it off.
You shouldn't need a compressor to blow water out of a heater. Gravity should take care of it. If it won't drain due to being full of sediment it's probably shot.
