The Resolution That Stuck
I haven't made a New Year's Resolution that I've stuck with in years, but I was determined to change that. This year I stepped out of my comfort zone and said I was going to travel more. By travel, I don't mean going on extravagant adventures to foreign countries spending hundreds of dollars, but rather, exploring cities that I've never been to but are within the United States. Since then, I've been to four different cities on a college student's budget. Exploring cities is something that I'd like to do for the rest of my life.
In order to make my dream into a career, I would start a foundation and use the funds raised to support those who have never been out of their hometown or state – to show them the beauty of the world and do something great for it along the way. I'd promote public transportation, local farmers, recycling, and other going green efforts by funding mission trips to different communities throughout the US and eventually throughout the world. Companies like Google Inc., LG Electronics, and PepsiCo, who have successful green efforts, would be my inspiration, and I would reach out to them for help. Traveling used to be just a thing you did on vacation, but I'd love to do it for a full-time career while also making the world a better place to live.

The university facilitates the faculty's desires to excel in teaching in a number of ways. For instance, a peer-reviewed teaching portfolio is a required component of the promotion dossier. This requirement reflects the university's expectation of excellence in teaching and denotes the value it places on teaching as a significant career activity.
Each individual teaching portfolio includes the candidate's statement and covers the professor's teaching philosophy and the range of graduate, undergraduate and professional courses taught by him or her. It also describes the relationship to and impact of these courses on the academic programs or units of the candidate's affiliation, while detailing innovations in teaching and referencing scholarly productivity that relates to teaching. Also part of this portfolio is an appendix that includes the candidates' best and most important teaching accomplishments, samples of syllabi, assignments and tests, along with evidence of student learning. Another component, the summary of student evaluations, appears in the dossier as well.
Indeed, the university requires that students evaluate virtually every section taught. The only exceptions are individual instruction or small (two- to five-people) courses where it would be impossible to offer anonymity to our student evaluators.
In these evaluations the students' responses to our teaching attest to UB's excellent teaching quality. Using a five-point scale (5 is "strongly agree" or best, 3 is neutral and 1 is "strongly disagree" or poorest), ratings by students of their instructors sampled 1,134 course sections, including more than 26,000 individual student responses, in Spring 2001. The average of the overall rating of course quality for all these evaluations was 4.0.
When asked if they would recommend the professor to another student, the average rating was 4.2, and if they would recommend the course, the average rating was 4.0. The statement, "The instructor seemed to enjoy teaching the subject and working with students," generated an average rating of 4.5. To view recent teacher evaluations, please go to http://www.sa.buffalo.edu and then click on "teachereval."
For those evaluations that suggest there may be a teaching problem, faculty are counseled and provided with options: They may work directly with a senior mentor in the department, work with a mentor from another department or choose to participate in the programs of the recently launched Center for Teaching and Learning Resources. This center (http://wings.buffalo.edu/vpaa/ctlr) provides literature, workshops and direct assistance to faculty who would like to improve their teaching within the traditional lecture format. In addition, the center can videotape lectures and provide a review.
The Office of the Provost and the Faculty Senate's committee on teaching and learning have jointly sponsored numerous teaching workshops. More than 100 faculty attended the most recent workshop on how to improve teaching within the lecture. The notable fact is not that we have these resources, but that our faculty do take advantage of them. Clearly, our faculty are not complacent about their teaching; rather, they wish to continue to improve their already high level of instruction.
One of UB's missions is to produce the next generation of professors. There is a large graduate population, many of whom will go on to teach in universities. The Center for Teaching and Learning Resources also supports our teaching assistants. Furthermore, UB's world-renowned English Language Institute enables all English-as-a-second-language teaching assistants to possess facility in English. Also, the "Target your Teaching" workshop for all graduate assistants is offered each summer by UB's Graduate School. The Graduate School and the Graduate Student Association recognize graduate students who have achieved exceptional competence in teaching with the annual Excellence in Teaching Awards for Graduate Assistants.
In addition to these ongoing measures, there is another important component in the evaluation of teaching, and that comes from UB graduates. As an alumnus you can help us continue to assess our teaching quality by letting us know where you are now and what you are doing. Our current students would be particularly interested in what you majored in, if you changed majors and how you chose your current field of endeavor. If you want to help, please send your story to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. We would love to hear from you.

P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1), also known as SELPLG or CD162, is the high affinitycounter-receptor for P-selectin on expressed on activated endothelial cells and platelets. PSGL-1 is a mucin-type glycoprotein, expressed on leukocytes and platelets as a homodimer of two disulfide-linked subunits of ~120 kD. As cell adhesion molecules, multiple studies have shown that PSGL-1/ P-selectin interaction is required for the normal recruitment of leukocytes during inflammatory reactions, and also participates in hemostatic responses. PSGL-1 protein requires two distinct posttranslational modifications for the Ca2+-dependent recognition by the lectin domain of P-selectin, that is tyrosine sulfation and specific O-linked glycosylation (sialic acid and fucose). PSGL-1 can also bind to other two members of the selectin family, E-selectin (endothelial) and L-selectin (leukocyte), but binds best to P-selectin.

Project Overview
Designed for grades 6-8, Earth Trails: Mississippi River is an interactive multimedia program that requires students to research, plan, and compose multimedia presentations based on content and issues related to the Mississippi River. Using this innovative resource, students explore the Mississippi River region from the headwaters in Minnesota to the Louisiana delta.
Through authentic interaction, students examine regional differences, past and present commercial industries, cultural artifacts, and geological and biological characteristics that make the river an important part of our lives. Students use online tools to collect sounds, images, and video segments; and tie all of the collected information into their own multimedia projects. Classroom activities for science, math, language arts, and social studies (found on the CD-ROM and our Web site) can extend the issues and content presented in the program. Web site resources also extend the flexibility of this program in the classroom.

The scraping, the spraying, and that drill – the dentist's chair can be a terrifying place, especially for kids.
To calm the little ones' nerves, a dentist in Williamsville, New York, has brought in his sidekick to ease the pain – his golden retriever, Brooke.
A photo of the big pooch on a young patient has gone viral after being posted on Reddit last week.
Dr. Paul Weiss's dog, who's a trained therapy canine, visits the office once a week. Kids apparently play fetch with her, and she calms them during procedures.
"The gratification of taking a nervous child and turning them into someone who's comfortable at a dentist's office is really something great," Weiss told Biz Journal.
Even for a dog-loving, dentist-fearing girl, this is going too far. Sure, I've read about the stress-relieving effects of dogs in university, calming crazed students during exams. And dogs in regular cubicle offices would sure be a welcomed reprieve. But dogs in the dentist office? Can this be sanitary? And what about those kiddies who fear dogs in the first place?
The after-dentist 'clean mouth' feeling is a rare, wonderful reward for an hour of pain and suffering – and there's something inherently off-putting about mixing that feeling and the feeling of dog breath on your face.
Still, Weiss insists the office is cleaned thoroughly after each visit from Brooke – and she gets a bath before coming to work.

"Radical cleric" is a term many news outlets, including the Associated Press, have used to describe Islamic clerics who encourage and/or train radical Muslims for jihad against civilians in the West. Case in point: Anwar al Awlaki, who reportedly inspired Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan's shooting spree.
But a commenter on Time magazine's Swampland blog seems to have convinced writer Karen Tumulty that the term is appropriate to apply to Pat Robertson, given his loopy pronouncement that a long-ago "pact with the devil" made by Haiti has cursed the Caribbean nation and resulted in yesterday's devastating earthquake:
Amy: Per your post below, Swampland commenter Trifecta55 has a proposal for how we should deal with this:
Don't you mean "radical cleric" Pat Robertson Michael?
I am semi serious. When crazy muslim preachers get that title, why don't those of you in the media use that on Pat Robertson. I am serious, and politefully request a response if you have time.
UPDATE: CBN offers an exceedingly lame clarification of the radical cleric's comments.
Granted, Pat Robertson's pronouncements should be denounced by political conservatives and protested by Christians who recognize the deficiencies of Robertson's theology from an orthodox, biblical perspective. They are definitely outside the mainstream of orthodox Christian thought and deserve to be disputed and condemned.
That being said, to hint that Robertson is equivalent to a terrorism-inciting radical imam is both a sop to left-wing anti-Christian hysteria and a disservice to journalism.

Believe it or not, I LOVE to throw get togethers at my home. Before I moved to Florida my husband and I were known for the bar-b-que's and crab boils (that is whole 'nother post for a different day) that we use to throw. Every weekend we would have something going on at our house. Not to mention that I am the theme queen for all things holidays. I will throw a party for just my children for no reason at all and put my all into it just as if I was throwing a party for a group of people. But I digress.
One thing that is important to me is making sure women, as mother's, don't forget to kick back, relax, and enjoy being a woman and not just a mom.
I like to get together with a small group of women every blue moon to enjoy good food and even better cocktails. When I was presented with the opportunity by T.G.I. Friday's and Essence Magazine to throw a party for a few friends while trying out the new T.G.I. Friday's cocktail drinks, I jumped at the chance. Being a "penny pinching diva" I of course have to put a money saving spin on almost everything. Originally I was just going to make this a one post article.
But I have decided that so many other women need to learn how to plan their Own Girls Night In party on a budget that I will be sharing a new tip everyday this week to help you plan your own party on a budget.
It doesn't take much to throw a small party. It really doesn't. And with the help of T.G.I. Friday's cocktail drinks you can take their motto of "We Mix It. You Kick It." and really have fun with it. And what's a party without a theme? Not fun at all. The theme of my Girls Night In party was to do it in our pajamas.
Who wants to get dressed up to spend the night with their girls? Why not kick back and relax in the comfort of your home? I'm going to tell you how you can take $200 and turn your Girl's Night In party into a night that you won't soon forget. Complete with yummy cocktails, delicious food, and nice swag bags for your guests to take home.
My Girls Night In party was sponsored by T.G.I. Friday's. They provided me with a gift card to cover the amount of hosting a party in my home while showcasing their ready mixed cocktails. All opinions on this, and subsequent, posts are my own.

Style: 36131779 Colour:
Sheer maxi kaftan featuring beautiful allover bead embellishments with a V neck. Low open back with a tie closure. Style over one of our Signature Seamless styles to complete the look.
Black Beauty
Beautiful dress. I ordered a small, but had to return for an XS. It is oversized, so keep that in mind when ordering. I am wearing to an evening wedding in October. I am going to have a long black slip made to wear under it. You will definitely need that.
This piece is exquisite. I cannot wait to wear it. You will definitely need a black full slip underneath. This is a sheer kaftan as it says in the product description. I ordered a size small and could have gone with xs. It is very roomy but not enough to ruin the style. It can be worn more casual with a pair of black gladiator sandals or pair with some high heels and loads of silver bracelets. The bead work on this kaftan is absolutely beautiful. It is very well made and will be a staple in my closet for many years to come. Thanks FP!!!

Harassment in SL for Blogging I'll Vote for Romney
« Lindens Makes a New 3-D Shareable Etch-a-Sketch (or 2D?) | Main | Why I'm Switching My Vote to Romney »
Looks like campaigning for Obama. You should expect that in an election year ;-)
No. It's not election campaigning when somebody invades your land, puts out hundreds of these massively to crash the sim. This is just a picture of one of them.
No. It's not election campaigning when someone comes on your sim and prim litters merely because you espouse the open ideals of open groups and open land.
Oh, and even if you close the group and close the land, whoops, they can still litter because they are using exploit viewers that override SL permissions!
No. It's not election campaigning when you make the RL effigy of someone portraying them as ugly with stringy hair, and then turn them black, because... you use blacks as memes because you are the Patriotic Nigras, which are a racist and extremist group out of 4chan and Anonymous.
No. It's not election campaigning when you deliberately inflict the campaign on someone who has said they are supporting the other candidate.
Real election campaigning is about freedom and pluralism. It's about fair contesting of rivals. Campaign in the welcome area or on your own sim or on your own blog.
Heckling and forcing this on someone is about removing freedom. It's about totalitarianism. It's about making an Internet where there can only be the sound of the jackboot coming down on the neck.
Surely comparing greifing kids on a social networking system to 'the jackboot of totalitarianism' just serves to trivialise real authoritarian regimes such as Turkmenistan.
No, because it's the exact same dynamics and poisoning of the human spirit. Each time someone says this about Anonymous, they give up our freedom by taking it for granted and thinking the pixel version of it is trivial. With people like you, by the time we get to the Internet of Things, we have no freedom left at all.
I don't worry about this sort of nonsensical refusal to take the seriousness of the Anonymous totalitarian system taking away others' rights. That's because the problem of Turkmenistan is obvious and known, and in fact, each person who gets a cell phone or circumvents blocks on the Internet gets around it, in part.
But if he arrives on Internet then taken over by the Anonymous thugs, he has left the frying pan to go into the fire.
This is not "campaigning for Obama" This is harassment, it is interesting to me that libtards think Conservatives are "Nazis" when you people, are the true "Nazis" and wish to shut down any form of expression you disagree with.
Set your land to damage on. Set your home to the effected parcel. Get a cool damage weapon and try to have some fun with these kids. They seem to thrive on making you upset. Be a bit more random with your responses.
Um, did you miss all my reporting on this, Micha?
There is a new rogue viewer or scripts capable of OVERRIDING all settings on land.
That means even if you are not in the group, you can build on land where "no group" is set. You can build even on land where EVERYTHING is turned off and it is closed, as if it were merely a thin sheet to punch through.
It's not about damage and shooting. That does no good. And I refuse to use weapons, security orbs, etc. etc. in a virtual world that is supposed to be open and creative. I will insist that it be kept so. The answer is for the Lindens to take action, not me to start shooting.
I'm very familiar with what "rogue viewers" can do. They cannot override land settings. That's impossible. The viewer doesn't work like that. The only ones who can do that are Linden employees. You are either a) griefed by Linden employees or b) imagining things. Probably, you are imagining the land setting issue.
No, it's just that the griefers have gotten the Lindens' viewers. I don't think it's Linden employees although one never knows.
This isn't imagined as lots of people have come and seen it and documented it and replicated it.
o we are banned from our own group land even tho the griefers do not have that power in the group to access the ban list
o names not in the People List are even put in the ban list
o objects are rezzed even on no-rez parcels set to no-group and no-individual rez or object entry
Many people have seen this, the Lindens know about it, but they can't/won't do anything about it or talk about it.
This falls under the category of "I set my mainland to L$0 to sell to my alt and a landbot swooped in and STOLE it from me!"
If you rent land and your rental group is open admission, then you leave yourself open to having it abused. The alternative is inviting tenants to an invitation-only tenants group - which is the standard practice across the grid. People can wait a few hours to be added to a group, and unless you hate dealing with people who want to give you money, there seems to be no good reason not to run the tenants group in this fashion.
That is, unless it gives you a continuing opportunity to write thousand words posts about how you're a persecuted victim.
If your neighborhood has a problem with burglaries, you lock your doors and consider getting an alarm system. This is not rocket science.
Again, no surprise that somebody named "Marx" has these perverse notions that make it seem as if code and tools should fix all bad human nature instead of organic governance, and a demand that human beings behave.
Um, the reason I have an open group is because far from "hating people who want to give me money" I don't turn away people who want to give me money by not having the group instantly available for them. The Lindens never figured out how to tie group membership to a payment event. That's another way the problem could be solved, but as long as I've been asking about that, I've always gotten the answer that payment events can't tie to group invitations.
People are very grateful to be able to immediately join and build. They hate waiting. And if they have to wait, they often refund, even after only 45 minutes, saying it's 3 hours because it felt like 3 hours. I hate when that happens.
Griefers who deliberately look for these holes in the group tools and holes in SL governance that LL has never had any interest in fixing are the problem, not me for leaving my group open. Creativity, convenience, commerce.
BTW, the other thing that is broken -- and I don't see how anyone could challenge this! -- is that when you put the land on "no entry" -- closed to everyone except a list or to the owner only -- they STILL REZ OBJECTS.

Herbert Smith Freehills (HSF) funds partner Thiha Tun is to join the London office of US firm Bingham McCutchen, The Lawyer can reveal.
Tun is to join Bingham's partnership in September but is not expected to take any partners or associates with him. He will work closely with Bingham partner John Holton, who relocated his international funds practice to London from Boston in 2011.
According to a statement from the US firm, which snatched a seven-lawyer investment funds team from White & Case's Tokyo office in May (13 May 2013), Tun will also work closely with Bingham's investment management team in the US and Asia.
London managing partner James Roome said: "Thiha's arrival will bolster our capabilities to offer the combined US and UK funds and regulatory advice that many European fund managers require."
A number of US firms have launched private equity funds practices in the City in recent years. Among those to have hired partners from some of the big UK players are Debevoise & Plimpton, Kirkland & Ellis, O'Melveny & Myers, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett and Weil Gotshal & Manges.
The entrants have undoubtedly shaken up the market, with Clifford Chance and SJ Berwin being the source of some of the most significant hires in the past few years.
HSF, meanwhile, has seen a number of its partners leave for US firms over the last 12 months. These include that of London corporate fraud and asset tracing head Simon Bushell, who quit for US firm Latham & Watkins earlier this year (7 February 2013), Moscow partner Dmitry Kurochkin, the firm's head of disputes for Continental Europe, the Middle East and Africa, who joined Dechert in November (21 June 2012), and Kevin Lloyd, who quit for Debevoise & Plimpton (5 December 2012).
Other exits have included Tokyo head Steve Lewis, who went to Bingham (29 June 2012), City corporate partner Will Pearce, who resigned for Davis Polk & Wardwell (12 November 2012), and finance partner Jason Fox, who left for Bracewell & Giuliani (5 March 2013).

Help im afriad i enjoy a genital wart!?
well i have had a hpv smear that be positive a few years ago and had been treated for it and it has yeat to stir away I was never told that I had a strain of hpv that caused wart just cervical dysplacia
well anyhow I saw a little flesh colored bump but when i verbs down on my skin it turns pink? I useually get allot of ingrown hair bumbs and boils in that nouns, but nothing any where else im really scared I own been faithful to my fiance for 2 years an have have the hpv infection for 3 years
Go get the bump checked out by professional their the only ones that could really tell yea....But its possible you hold been infected with a wart strain of the virus for years and the symptoms are just very soon showing, but in most cases the immune system clears the virus 6-24 months after you been treated (Know this because my Uncle is a head doctor a ucla medical center...So return with checked out ASAP and if warts get treated and try to eat full-bodied and boost your system to clear virus...
HPV infections often go undetected because they don't cause wart or other lesions. Even if you don't exhibit signs and symptoms of the infection, they may emerge later and you may transmit the virus to someone else.
The signs and symptoms that do appear vary according to the type of HPV infection you may enjoy:
■Genital warts. Genital warts are nonmalignant and appear as a flat lesion, a tiny cauliflower-like bump or a tiny stem-like protrusion. HPV infections of types 6 and 11 cause most genital wart. These HPV types are generally not associated with cancer.
In women these warts appear most commonly on the vulva but may also come to pass near the anus, on the cervix or in the vagina. In men these may appear on the penis and scrotum or around the anus. Genital warts from time to time cause discomfort or pain.
■Pre-malignant genital lesions. Certain HPV infections can motivation cellular changes that result in precancerous lesions. These abnormality are most often detected by a Pap test, a simple procedure to collect cells from the cervix or vagina for laboratory nouns.
Abnormalities that are determined to be "low grade" usually resolve — the cells return to normal — without treatment. HPV infections of types 6 and 11 are adjectives causes of these low-grade abnormalities.
High-grade abnormalities are smaller quantity likely to resolve, and some will advance to cancer of the cervix, vagina or vulva. HPV infections of types 16 and 18 are the most common cause of high-grade abnormalities.
■Oral and upper respiratory lesions. Some HPV infections may cause wart and other lesions to form on your tongue, tonsils, soft palate, and larynx and in your nose. These lesion may be the result of low-risk HPV types, such as 6 and 11, or high-risk types, such as 16 and 18.
■Cervical cancer and other tumors. Most genital HPV infections of high-risk types don't develop into cancer; however, persistent infections — generally lasting more than two years — create a greater risk of cancer. Abnormal vaginal bleeding, such as excessively beefy menstrual bleeding or bleeding between periods, are common symptoms of cervical cancer.
Virtually all cases of cervical cancer are cause by HPV infections. An estimated 11,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with cervical cancer annually, and more than 3,800 die of the disease each year. Worldwide, cervical cancer is far more adjectives because many women lack access to Pap test screening. HPV types 16 and 18 statement for about 70 percent of all cases of cervical cancer.
HPV infections of type 16 and 18, as well as other high-risk types, may also contribute to cancer of the genitals, anus, mouth and upper respiratory tract.
■Common warts. Common warts are nonmalignant skin growths that usually appear on your hands, fingers or around fingernails. These wart appear as rough, raised bumps. They're generally nuisances because of their appearance, but they may also be painful or susceptible to injury or bleeding.
Most children and adolescents enjoy been exposed to HPVs that cause these warts, but single a small percentage actually get warts. Most relations don't get common warts after age 20.
■Plantar wart. Plantar warts are hard, grainy, nonmalignant growths that usually appear on the heel or bubble of your feet, areas that feel the most pressure. These warts may effect discomfort or pain. Although plantar warts are common contained by adulthood, most adults first encountered them during childhood or adolescence.
■Flat wart. Flat warts are flat-topped, slightly raised, nonmalignant lesions dark than your regular skin color. They usually appear on your face, neck, hands, wrists, elbows or knees. HPV infections that exact flat warts usually affect children, adolescents and young adults.
When to see a doctor
If you or your child has wart of any kind that cause embarrassment, discomfort or aching, seek advice from your doctor.
For women, it's important to hold regular Pap tests. A Pap test is the best tool to detect an HPV infection that could lead to cervical cancer. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommend that a woman begin annual Pap tests about three years after first have sexual relations or at age 21. Most women age 30 and older may have a Pap test every two to three years if test are normal for at least three consecutive years. Source(s): http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hpv-inf…

WASHINGTON – Japan's alliance with the United States has served as a deterrent in the territorial dispute with China as it called for calm in the row, the ambassador to the U.S. said Thursday.
Washington has stated that it takes no position on the disputed islands, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, but has made clear that its security treaty with Japan covers all areas under Tokyo's control.
The United States "has been saying that they do not take a position on the sovereignty issue but have always stated that U.S.-Japan security arrangements would cover those islands," Ambassador Ichiro Fujisaki said.
"I think that constitutes an important deterrence," he said at the Brookings Institution think tank.
Tensions have soared in recent months as rival nationalist groups sailed to stake their claims to the remote and potentially resource-rich area. Japan has moved to nationalize the islands from a private owner in what it called a bid to pre-empt a similar attempt by hawkish Tokyo Gov. Shintaro Ishihara.
Fujisaki downplayed speculation that the row and the island dispute with South Korea could flare into full-blown conflicts, saying: "That's not going to happen, that should not happen.
"This is not started by us — by Japan — and we have a good historical and legal position.
"However, our position is very clear — we are not going to raise tension and try to take it up emotionally. We would like to calmly deal with this."
The rows have spread to global economic policy, with China shunning the annual IMF and World Bank meetings under way in Tokyo. However, Fujisaki credited China with making progress in recent weeks in controlling anti-Japanese protests.
China health no-show
Chinese Health Minister Chen Zhu is among the Chinese officials skipping events in Tokyo on the sidelines of the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, organizers said Friday.
In apparent protest over the Senkaku Islands dispute, Zhu did not participate in a seminar on health issues Thursday, while the executives from state-affiliated China Investment Co. and Bank of Deyang canceled their attendance at an event on the global economy Friday, the organizers said.
The no-shows came after Chinese Finance Minister Xie Xuren and People's Bank of China Gov. Zhou Xiaochuan, as well as representatives from major Chinese banks, skipped the IMF and World Bank meetings.

Collected: 16 ways to show off your kids' artwork
Each week Maxabella showcases a collection of things from around the internet that have helped her solve a problem. This week, how to stylishly display her children's art.
Pablo Picasso said that "Every child is an artist", and I like to run with that. Like any proud parent of creatively gifted children (that is to say, all us parents!), I love displaying my children's art around the home. It's a difficult balance between "stylish home" and "local preschool", but there are lots of clever ways to make it work.
Here's what I do around my place to display my children's talents.
1. The essential kitchen cupboard display
Good old Blutac. What did people do before it came on the scene? We have an ever-changing gallery on our kitchen cupboards. En masse looks great and stops the display from looking accidental. The key here is to limit the art to just one wall of cabinetry. Any more would be colour-overload for me.
2. String them up
Each of my children has a string on their wall that they are free to add or detract from. This one is my son's (hence the overuse of Pokemon stick drawings). This is literally a piece of string held up with a thumbtack either end. I don't like to over-think things at my place!
3. Treat them as the precious artworks they are
This is a painting done by my six year old daughter. I found a nice Ikea frame and gave her a lovely surprise when she arrived home from school one day. The great thing about Ikea frames is that you can swap the artwork in and out without hassle.
4. Collect them together with existing pieces
Maxi and Cappers did a pottery class after school last term. The fruits of their creativity are proudly displayed on our mantle, carefully grouped by colour with my existing collectables (in this case, milk bottles by Bison).
Here are 12 other ideas that will keep your place from looking like the local preschool. Click on the source for more information and 'Next' to go to the next image.
12 more ways to stylishly display your kids' art
Kids' artwork 26052012
Frame it up, add some other lovely prints and hang it all French-style above a blackboard -new artwork added daily.
I can't get enough of clipboards and this seems the perfect way to solve the need for an ever-changing display. The artwork just keeps on coming, doesn't it?!
Get your clipboard ready, add a photo above and each child will be raring to go!
{Less Than Perfect Life of Bliss}
From the file of 'why didn't I think of that' ideas comes frames complete with a bulldog clip. Too easy.
Take your 'why didn't I think of that before' idea with the bulldog clips in the frame, add your 'one for each child' idea and you are totally rocking. Just keep clipping new artwork over old until the clip gets full. Then… quietly recycle in the dead of night.
Embroider your children's artwork onto a quilt for instant heirloom factor.
{Random Thoughts of a Supermom}
This is like a neat version of my 'string' approach. A wire strung in the hallway makes a lovely display. I have seen people use curtain wire to achieve a straighter line.
Create a collage of all your children's artwork. You can either have this digitally printed from scanned images of the art, or you could cut out bits of the artwork itself to hand make your own version.
{Graham and Brown wallpaper via Crave Interiors}
I adore this wallpaper and would have it in my home if I was a wallpaper kind of gal. Cut existing artwork to size and blutac right into the frames. Or let the kids go wild straight onto the walls (or not!).
Christie painted frames straight onto the wall to great effect. This would be terrific in a child's bedroom
Tack the artwork up in wall decals / stickers frames!
Group your kids' artwork by colour and you may never need to buy art again.
And here are five fab artworks to create for displaying:
- Alligator card
- Cotton wool rain clouds
- Autumn leaf garland
- Hand-woven placemats
- Turn old crayons into candles

How Rad Techs Can Advance Their Careers
Consider Becoming a Radiologist Assistant
October 19, 2011
by Joyce Routson, Health eCareers
For radiographers seeking the additional challenge of advancing their practice, one career pathway has been that of the radiologist assistant (RA). While their numbers are few in the U.S. to date, demand for their services has been stymied by regulatory and reimbursement restrictions.
Yet with the advent of health insurance reform, those promoting the profession believe there will be a greater need for patient access to timely medical imaging services. RAs are experienced radiologic technologists or X-ray techs with additional education and certification who work under the supervision of a physician radiologist. They are sometimes called radiologist extenders or radiology practitioner assistants.
According to the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT), since the designation came into being in the 1990s, about 500 graduates have been certified as registered radiologist assistants (RRA). Currently 29 states license, regulate or recognize the RA as a member of the radiology healthcare team.
RAs must be experienced, licensed rad techs before they can embark on the additional schooling and training necessary to become an RA. Most educational programs require a bachelor's degree and the registered radiologic technologist (RT) certification before applying; course work can take up to two years to complete. Currently, there are about a dozen U.S. college programs recognized by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).
Brian Adams, RRA, RPA, R.T.(R), RDMS, graduated from the RA program at Weber State University in 2008 and has been working for St. George Radiology in St. George, Utah. He pursued the profession because he wanted to work more closely with patients and after considering becoming a nurse.
"I had looked into nursing because of the many options and different areas of specialty but I found a similar career pathway in radiology," he said. "Being an RA is a career path that gives you more interaction with the patient at an advanced practice level."
As an RA, Adams does low-risk, less complicated procedures that may traditionally have been performed by the radiologist. Examples are a barium swallow test or a hip joint injection.
"If we can do the procedures that are easy, it frees up the radiologist to read studies like an MRI that are complicated," says Adams. Adds Dr. Blake Arnold, a partner in St. George Radiology: "The skills of the RAs are such that allow us more efficiency, being able to let us do the studies we are qualified for. It lets us get patients scheduled quicker and take care of them in a better way."
Despite the many advantages of the RA to a physician practice, there is not a huge demand for them. "The marketplace is very backwards until we get some legislative issues worked out," says Adams.
The biggest issue is that practices can't bill Medicare for RA services unless they are performed under the personal supervision of a radiologist; he or she must be in the same room. The ASRT and other organizations are lobbying for passage of national legislation that would lower the level from personal to direct supervision and allow billing at 85 percent of the physician rate.
The bill, The Medical Access to Radiology Care Act, H.R. 3032, was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives Sept. 22. Currently it has six sponsors, according to Christine Lung, vice president of government relations with ASRT.
The bill would preserve RA education programs and jobs while saving healthcare dollars and ensuring patients will have access to quality medical imaging services, the ASRT says. Lung says the bill doesn't have a lot of opposition. "It's fairly noncontroversial and is gaining support, but whether it can rise to the point of visibility in Congress remains to be seen," she says.
Despite the hurdles, Adams would advise experienced rad techs to consider becoming an RA. "If you're looking to advance your career and be more involved in the process of dealing with patients" this may be for you, he says.
Arnold adds that positions may be available at community-based hospitals where the radiologist department may be understaffed.

comment merging
well here's the deal. i have a list of pages under a category. they are for state parks. eventually i will write an article about each park in the list. i have it so that it includes the article in the page if i have written it. but if someone comments on that article, i would like to be able to merge the comments from that article with the comments on the page for the park that the article is about. if it exists of course. any ideas here?

Fidelity Bonding Program
Sponsored by the Workforce Development Agency, State of Michigan, the Fidelity Bonding Program was created to assist high-risk, but qualified, job seekers who have bona fide offers of employment. Typically, some employers may view ex-offenders, former substance abusers, and other individuals who have questionable backgrounds as high-risk and potentially untrustworthy workers.
What is a Fidelity Bond?
A fidelity bond is a business insurance policy for employers who hire and employ high-risk job seekers. It is purchased to protect employers from any loss of money or property incurred as a result of dishonesty by the high-risk workers.
The Fidelity Bonding Program offers a business insurance policy from the Traveler's Casualty and Surety Company of America; referred to hereafter as TRAVELERS. It protects an employer against dishonest acts of theft, larceny, forgery and embezzlement committed by a bonded employee. A bonded employee is a high-risk worker who is currently bonded by the Fidelity Bonding Program.
The bonds issued by the Fidelity Bonding Program offer the employer a guarantee against losses up to $25,000 in value that are incurred as a result of hiring a high-risk job seeker. The Fidelity Bond serves as an incentive to encourage employers to hire job seekers who might otherwise be denied employment. Employers, with minimal risk, can obtain workers, while job seekers can find gainful employment.
How does the Fidelity Bond work?
- Bond coverage is based on the value of the property at risk
- Bonds issued range from amounts of $5,000 to $25,000, in increments of $5,000
- Bond insurance carries no deductible amounts
- Bond insurance becomes effective on the employee's first day of employment
- The Fidelity Bond is mailed directly to the employer
- Bond insurance expires after six months. However, the employer may purchase continued coverage from The McLaughlin Company
What does the Fidelity Bond cover?
The Fidelity Bond covers job seekers who are considered high-risk due to some factor in their personal background and who have been rejected by a commercial bonding company. Fidelity Bonds provide 100% insurance coverage and have no deductible; the employer is fully protected against losses resulting from employee dishonesty. Bond insurance coverage ranges from $5,000 to $25,000 for a six-month period. As an incentive to hire members of a targeted population, employers receive the bond coverage FREE OF CHARGE for the first six months of employment by the bonded employee. At that time, the employer can extend the bond insurance coverage by contacting The McLaughlin Company or a Michigan Works! Agency (MWA) service center. Bonding coverage after the initial six months continues at the employer's expense.
What is not covered by the Fidelity Bond?
The Fidelity Bonding Program does not cover the following:
- Liability due to poor workmanship, job injuries, or work accidents
- Bail bonds or court bonds for the legal system
- Contract bonds, performance bonds, or license bonds for the self-employed
See our Fidelity Bonding Program brochure for more information or call 517-335-5858.

The romance rumor emerged after Rose McGowan and Ryan Kavanaugh were spotted getting close at Los Angeles nightspot Trousdale.
Rose McGowan has moved on from her failed engagement to Robert Rodriguez - the actress is reportedly dating Hollywood producer Ryan Kavanaugh. McGowan ended her two-year engagement to the moviemaker last year and has now embarked on a romance with producer Kavanaugh, according to the New York Post.
The pair was spotted getting close at Los Angeles nightspot Trousdale last week. And McGowan's spokesperson refuses to deny the rumors: "They are good friends and have known each other for a long time."
McGowan was previously engaged to shock rocker Marilyn Manson for two years. After calling it quits with Marilyn, she was romantically linked to TV personality Ahmet Zappa, actor Kip Pardue and magazine editor David Zinczenko. She dated Rodriguez following her split from Zinczenko.

BOTH Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar and Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley have been making risky political moves ahead of tomorrow's Tobago House of Assembly (THA) election.
The Prime Minister, in aggressively campaigning in Tobago last week on behalf of Tobago Organisation of the People (TOP) candidate Ashworth Jack, has heightened what is at stake in the election for her and her Government. If the Tobago electorate rejects Jack, it would have come after Persad-Bissessar embarked on a campaign to woo Tobago over a series of events starting from a church service on Sunday and all the way to a rally on Friday, among other events. A rejection of Jack at the polls could, in the circumstances, be interpreted as a rejection of Persad-Bissessar.

CRANSTON, R.I. (AP) A firefighter is dead and a former police officer has been arrested in a shooting in Rhode Island, apparently stemming from a neighborhood dispute.
Cranston Fire Chief James Gumbley said Lt. James Pagano was killed Sunday. He was a well-liked and well-respected firefighter since 1991.
Former Providence police Officer Nicholas Gianquitti was arrested and ordered held without bail on a murder charge. The Cranston police chief, Stephen McGrath, said the shooting occurred at Gianquitti's home on a quiet, dead-end street with children present.
Gianquitti did not enter a plea before he was ordered held Monday in 3rd District Court. His lawyer did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.
McGrath said the investigation was ongoing, and while it appeared there was a dispute between the neighbors, police were still trying to pinpoint what led to the shooting.
Gianquitti was on the force in Providence in 1992 and 1993 before he injured his knee and went on disability.

"Chrono" pertains to time and "biology" pertains to the study, or science, of life. The related terms chronomics and chronome have been used in some cases to describe either the molecular mechanisms involved in chronobiological phenomena or the more quantitative aspects of chronobiology, particularly where comparison of cycles between organisms is required. Chronobiological studies include but are not limited to comparative anatomy, physiology, genetics, molecular biology and behavior of organisms within biological rhythms mechanics.[1] Other aspects include development, reproduction, ecology and evolution. Circadian rhythm From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search "Human clock" redirects here. For the online clock, see Humanclock. A circadian rhythm is a roughly-24-hour cycle in the biochemical, physiological or behavioral processes of living entities, including plants, animals, fungi and cyanobacteria (see bacterial circadian rhythms). The term "circadian", coined by Franz Halberg,[1] comes from the Latin circa, "around," and diem or dies, "day", meaning literally "approximately one day." The formal study of biological temporal rhythms such as daily, tidal, weekly, seasonal, and annual rhythms, is called chronobiology. Circadian rhythms are endogenously generated, and can be entrained by external cues, called Zeitgebers, the primary one of which is daylight. These rhythms allow organisms to anticipate and prepare for precise and regular environmental changes. Origin This section needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding reliable references. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (October 2007) Photosensitive proteins and circadian rhythms are believed to have originated in the earliest cells, with the purpose of protecting the replicating of DNA from high ultraviolet radiation during the daytime. As a result, replication was relegated to the dark. The fungus Neurospora, which exists today, retains this clock-regulated mechanism. Rhythmicity appears to be as important in regulating cyclic biochemical processes within an individual, as in coordinating with the environment. This is suggested by the maintenance (heritability) of circadian rhythms in fruit flies after several hundred generations in constant laboratory conditions (Sheeba et al. 1999), as well as the experimental elimination of behavioral but not physiological circadian rhythms in quail (Guyomarc'h et al. 1998, Zivkovic et al. 1999). The simplest known circadian clock is that of the prokaryotic cyanobacteria. Recent research has demonstrated that the circadian clock of Synechococcus elongatus can be reconstituted in vitro with just the three proteins of their central oscillator. This clock has been shown to sustain a 22-hour rhythm over several days upon the addition of ATP. Previous explanations of the prokaryotic circadian timekeeper were dependent upon a DNA transcription / translation feedback mechanism. It is an unanswered question whether circadian clocks in eukaryotic organisms require translation/transcription-derived oscillations. For although the circadian systems of eukaryotes and prokaryotes have the same basic architecture: input - central oscillator - output, they do not share any homology. This implies probable independent origins. In 1971, Ronald J. Konopka and Seymour Benzer first identified a genetic component of the biological clock using the fruit fly as a model system. Three mutant lines of flies displayed aberrant behavior - one had a shorter period, another had a longer one and the third had none. All three mutations mapped to the same gene, which was named period.[6] The same gene was identified to be defective in the sleep disorder FASPS (Familial advanced sleep phase syndrome) in human beings thirty years later - underscoring the conserved nature of the molecular circadian clock through evolution. We now know many more genetic components of the biological clock. Their interactions result in an interlocked feedback loop of gene products resulting in periodic fluctuations that the cells of the body interpret as a specific time of the day. A great deal of research on biological clocks was done in the latter half of the 20th century. It is now known that the molecular circadian clock can function within a single cell; i.e., it is cell-autonomous.[7] At the same time, different cells may communicate with each other resulting in a synchronized output of electrical signaling. These may interface with endocrine glands of the brain to result in periodic release of hormones. The receptors for these hormones may be located far across the body and synchronize the peripheral clocks of various organs. Thus, the information of the time of the day as relayed by the eyes travels to the clock in the brain, and, through that, clocks in the rest of the body may be synchronized. This is how the timing of, for example, sleep/wake, body temperature, thirst, and appetite are coordinately controlled by the biological clock. [edit] Importance in animals Circadian rhythmicity is present in the sleeping and feeding patterns of animals, including human beings. There are also clear patterns of core body temperature, brain wave activity, hormone production, cell regeneration and other biological activities. In addition, photoperiodism, the physiological reaction of organisms to the length of day or night, is vital to both plants and animals, and the circadian system plays a role in the measurement and interpretation of day length. Timely prediction of seasonal periods of weather conditions, food availability or predator activity is crucial for survival of many species. Although not the only parameter, the changing length of the photoperiod ('daylength') is the most predictive environmental cue for the seasonal timing of physiology and behavior, most notably for timing of migration, hibernation and reproduction.[8] [edit] Impact of light-dark cycle The rhythm is linked to the light-dark cycle. Animals, including humans, kept in total darkness for extended periods eventually function with a freerunning rhythm. Each "day," their sleep cycle is pushed back or forward, depending on whether their endogenous period is shorter or longer than 24 hours. The environmental cues that each day reset the rhythms are called Zeitgebers (from the German, Time Givers).[9] It is interesting to note that totally-blind subterranean mammals (e.g., blind mole rat Spalax sp.) are able to maintain their endogenous clocks in the apparent absence of external stimuli. Freerunning organisms that normally have one consolidated sleep episode will still have it when in an environment shielded from external cues, but the rhythm is, of course, not entrained to the 24-hour light/dark cycle in nature. The sleep/wake rhythm may, in these circumstances, become out of phase with other circadian or ultradian rhythms such as temperature and digestion.[citation needed] Recent research has influenced the design of spacecraft environments, as systems that mimic the light/dark cycle have been found to be highly beneficial to astronauts.[citation needed] [edit] Arctic animals Norwegian researchers at the University of Tromsø have shown that some Arctic animals (ptarmigan, reindeer) show circadian rhythms only in the parts of the year that have daily sunrises and sunsets. In one study of reindeer, animals at 70 degrees North showed circadian rhythms in the autumn, winter, and spring, but not in the summer. Reindeer at 78 degrees North showed such rhythms only autumn and spring. The researchers suspect that other Arctic animals as well may not show circadian rhythms in the constant light of summer and the constant dark of winter.[10][11] However, another study in northern Alaska found that ground squirrels and porcupines strictly maintained their circadian rhythms through 82 days and nights of sunshine. The researchers speculate that these two small mammals see that the apparent distance between the sun and the horizon is shortest once a day, and, thus, a sufficient signal to adjust by.[12] [edit] Biological clock in mammals The primary circadian "clock" in mammals is located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (or nuclei) (SCN)), a pair of distinct groups of cells located in the hypothalamus. Destruction of the SCN results in the complete absence of a regular sleep/wake rhythm. The SCN receives information about illumination through the eyes. The retina of the eyes contains not only "classical" photoreceptors but also photoresponsive retinal ganglion cells. These cells, which contain a photo pigment called melanopsin, follow a pathway called the retinohypothalamic tract, leading to the SCN. If cells from the SCN are removed and cultured, they maintain their own rhythm in the absence of external cues. It appears that the SCN takes the information on day length from the retina, interprets it, and passes it on to the pineal gland, a tiny structure shaped like a pine cone and located on the epithalamus. In response the pineal secretes the hormone melatonin. Secretion of melatonin peaks at night and ebbs during the day. The circadian rhythms of humans can be entrained to slightly shorter and longer periods than the Earth's 24 hours. Researchers at Harvard have recently shown that human subjects can at least be entrained to a 23.5-hour cycle and a 24.65-hour cycle (the latter being the natural solar day-night cycle on the planet Mars).[13] [edit] Determining the human circadian rhythm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circadian_rhythm [/quote]

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/3/2014 (1239 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
After a deep freeze of a weekend, the weather should start to slowly climb back up to normal this week.
Environment Canada is calling for a high of -16ºC this afternoon, along with increasing cloudiness and a chance of flurries late this morning and into this afternoon.
Mainly cloudy skies are expected tonight, with a continuing chance of flurries this evening, although skies should clear around midnight, as the low drops to -28ºC before tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow should again see clouds around midday, with a high of -15ºC.
Wednesday will be cloudy, with a moderate chance of flurries and a high of -12ºC. Thursday, cloudy as well, with a good chance of flurries and a high of -10ºC.
By the end of the week, sun will return, with clear skies predicted for Friday and a high of -12ºC.
At this point, next weekend looks to be quite nice, with a high of -8ºC on Saturday and a high of -2ºC on Sunday, mostly sunny both days.
The normal high for this time of year is -4ºC; the normal low is -14ºC.
The warmest it's ever been on this date was in 2000, when it hit 11ºC. The coldest ever was in 1989, when it was -31.1ºC.
