A limited number of Field Museum fellowships are available for graduate students engaged in dissertation research associated with the Museum. These fellowships provide stipend support. For 2015, two fellowships are available, both in the amount of $30,000. One stipend is for students enrolled in the Committee on Evolutionary Biology (CEB) training program at the University of Chicago, and this stipend is restricted to US citizens. The second stipend is from the Field Museum's Women's Board and is given to a female graduate student.
Candidates applying for either fellowship must have a formal involvement with the Museum; a Field Museum curator must serve as member or chair on the student's academic committee, and the research should rely heavily upon the collections and facilities of the Museum. Students must be in residence in the Chicago area and are expected to spend a significant portion of their research time at the Museum for the duration of the fellowship. Eligible graduate students must have completed the preliminary examination. The period of appointment is one year and starts on September 1st. Applicants must contact the sponsoring curator well in advance of the application deadline.
Applicants who have been awarded a Field Museum fellowship by the scholarship committee previously are not eligible to apply for a second fellowship.

Statements should be written in a way that highlights the importance and potential impact of the planned project and is understandable to a broader audience beyond specialists in the relevant field. The description of the proposed research should contain a brief chapter explaining how it relates to the overall PhD program of the applicant, but should otherwise be specific to the project planned during the duration of the 1-year fellowship. While the quality of the science of the proposal and its feasibility and relevance to the Museum's collections and research are the single most important criteria to evaluate a proposal, the narrative should also spark excitement about the project.
A current full Curriculum Vitae (in English), which includes names and contact information of two references in addition to your Field Museum sponsor must be uploaded with the application (pdf or doc formats only). A copy of your thesis proposal must be uploaded as supplemental material with the application.

Neighbors: Christine Belford was terrified in months leading up to courthouse shooting
UPDATE: David Matusiewicz is awaiting a 1 p.m. federal court hearing for violation of supervised release. State Police have released the names of the victims and the shooter. Christine Belford and Laura Mumford, Belford's neighbor were shot dead inside the New Castle County Courthouse on Monday.
The shooter is Belford's ex-father-in-law, Thomas Matusiewicz. His address was listed as Edcouch, Texas.
Troubled history
Authorities said Belford was shot to death by her father-in-law, Thomas Matusiewicz, but Belford had reason to fear her ex-husband David as well.
The two were divorced in 2006. In 2007, David kidnapped the couple's three daughters — Karen, Laura, and Leigh. Along with his mother, Lenore, he fled with the children to
The couple lived in
Friends and neighbors in both towns tell a similar story of her life.
"There were lots of problems in the household when they lived there," said Tracy Campbell, who lived near Belford in
Looking inside
Both homes are unassuming on the outside. Inside tells a different story in
"If you look around the house, the windows, she had all the windows secured and locked," said neighbor Lois Dawson of Newark. "She's got cameras all around her house, and at one time she had two German Shepherd dogs. So, she was terrified of what could happen."
David Matusiewicz was a prominent optometrist at the time when he fled to
When his arrest was announced in 2009, authorities said he was carrying $1 million in cash. He was released to a halfway house in
There was a website set up after the 2007 kidnapping. It listed the three girls and their ages, at the time, from 2 to 5 years old. The oldest, Laura, turns 11 in May. Leigh turns 10 in September. Karen is 8 in July.
At the time of Matusiewicz's arrest, then New Castle County Police Detective Jeff Shriner said he had made a promise to Belford at the time of the kidnapping that he would never give up.
Tracey Campbell found it "unbelievable that they let [David] out of jail for abducting his kids. ... [H]e only got four years."
David Matusiewicz awaited a hearing in federal court in Wilmington on Tuesday afternoon.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. District Attorney's office in Delaware said the hearing is for violation of supervised release.

Alum among leaders of Gates Foundation's K-12 education efforts
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is one of the world's largest foundations, with an endowment of more than $36 billion to support domestic education initiatives and international health and poverty issues.
Within the Gates Foundation's domestic efforts, Baylor alumna Stacey Childress, BA '87, serves as deputy director of education. Childress leads the Next Generation Learning team, which invests in schools and technologies that support personalized learning for middle and high school students in the United States. As Forbes put it when they included her on their "Impact 15" list of education innovators last year, "Childress is the woman who steers where Bill Gates' and Warren Buffett's money is spent, at least when it comes to K-12 education in the U.S."
[Read Childress' blog and follow her on Twitter]
After earning her degree in English from Baylor, Childress attended Harvard Business School, and upon graduation became the first woman in school history to deliver the class day graduation address. She then became a lecturer at Harvard for the next decade, during which time, she also wrote three books on education.
Among the Gates Foundation's successes has been the establishment of the Gates Millenium Scholars program, which provides good-through-graduation scholarships to 1,000 students each year. At least four incoming Baylor students are among this year's recipients: Homero Cisneros and Madie Simms of Laredo; Ceron Ford of Tyler; and Cadie Hanes of Denton.
Sic 'em, Stacey and the Gates Foundation!

Whether they wore striped bandanas, corsets, regular clothing or swords attached to their hips, thousands of people made it out to the seventh annual Northern California Pirate Festival by the Vallejo waterfront on Saturday.
And, in the 70-degree weather, no one seemed to mind the new $10 fee.
Also new this year was the Buccaneer Bash on Saturday night. The adults-only event featured Pirates Charles and the Dread Crew of Oddwood, festival spokesperson Shannon Damnavits said.
"It was a good idea," Damnavits said. "They have different sets. It's a more sultry performance than the daytime show."
Under the tent, with its red and white flags billowing in the wind, Diane Rooney watched Capt'n Jack Spare Ribs debut a new style of ventriloquism.
"He's so great," Rooney said. "And this year they definitely shook things up a little with the new booth arrangements."
As one of the kick-start supporters, a festival attendee who donated to the festival this year, Rooney received two free tickets but said the fee is probably worth it to everyone who attends this weekend.
"In terms of what you get, all of the traffic control and parking and entertainment, I don't mind the fee," said the fifth-time festival attendee. "You can't even go to a movie for $10, so this is a bargain."
Brentwood resident Noah Villagran agreed after he brandished his sword at the pirate ship during the Ship to Shore Cannon Battle in the Mare Island Strait and yelled, "Tip over, tip over!"
The 4-year-old, who attended the festival with his grandparents, said he tried to keep the pirates from the people on dry land. And with his Iron Man sandals and plastic sword, he did his best while his grandpa shot a pop gun.
Farther from the smoke-filled waterfront, near the food and merchandise vendors, Bunbun the cockatiel enjoyed the sunny weather with his two lady pirate friends and his felt swords.
His owners, Olivia Salinas and her mother, LeeAnn Salinas -- both American Canyon residents -- were outfitted in full pirate gear, complete with black corsets and weapons. This is the seventh pirate festival for both the women and the 16-year-old bird, who Olivia Salinas said does not mind the cannons.
"We never miss a pirate festival," Salinas said. "Last year it was so hot so the tent is nice. Even the layout is better."
Her mother agreed, adding that she is happy the festival was not moved to Treasure Island, a possibility considered earlier this year.
Damnavits said she expected around 30,000 people to attend this weekend's festival, which ends today.
The 12-and-older admission fee was added this year to offset the costs of the tents as well as the 1,000 gallon Plexiglas mermaid tank, surround sound systems, and a 180 foot pointed tent.
"You're in for a surprise," Damnavits said. "The mermaid lagoon was beautiful, but you weren't able to see the mermaids underwater."
The 8-foot-long tank offers visitors a chance to watch the mermaids, not just be splashed by them, and the tent accommodates guests as they eat, watch a show on the Tortuga stage or take a break from the fun, she said.

CLEARLAKE -- The Clearlake City Council will hold a special meeting on Thursday at 6 p.m. at City Hall to interview candidates for the three vacancies on the city planning commission.
According to City Manager Joan Phillipe, 11 people applied for the positions, including Carl Webb and Bill Perkins, who are seeking reappointment.
The third seat opened up when Gina Fortina-Dickson was elected to the council in November.
The council's plan is to put the candidates in a separate waiting area and then call them one-by-one into council chambers, asking all of them the same questions, which the candidates who haven't been interviewed yet won't be able to hear and prepare answers for.
The proceedings are open to the public.
Along with Webb and Perkins, applicants include Robert Coker, Cheryl Hutchinson, Charles O'Neill Jones, William Morgan, Karen Priest, Bruno Sabatier, Dirk Slooten, Jason Tapia and Michael Vandiver, according to Phillipe.
City Hall is located at 14050 Olympic Drive in Clearlake.


text: Hurricane wouldn't mind shootout vs. GW By Rick Ryan September 13, 2012 Story Share Kenny Kemp Hurricane's Koi Turner has 19 catches for 272 yards and three TDs. At first glance, you'd think tonight's game pitting Hurricane at George Washington has to be a high-scoring one.The Redskins, after all, average 43 points and the Patriots 39. Plus, in five of their six combined games, opponents have scored at least 21 points.However, Hurricane had trouble getting anything going in two games against GW last year, and that figures to be the sticking point tonight as a pair of 2-1 Class AAA teams vie at Steve Edwards Sr. Field in South Hills. Kickoff is set for 7:30."I kind of hope [it's high scoring] because it means we're scoring,'' said Redskins coach Jeremy Taylor. "I hate to put our defense out there like that because we're pretty young. But if it's a shootout, I think we have a chance. If we can get points on them, it says something.''Hurricane faced GW and talented tailback Ryan Switzer twice last year and came up empty on offense each time.The Redskins were held to a net of 110 yards in a 35-0 regular-season loss, and managed just 183 yards in a 33-6 second-round setback in the playoffs.Switzer, meanwhile, eclipsed those totals all by himself. He carried 17 times for 195 yards and three touchdowns in the first meeting and, in the postseason, added 245 yards and four scores on 26 rushing attempts. "This kid can flat-out fly,'' Taylor said of Switzer. "It's amazing to watch him run the ball. He's a kid that comes along every 20 years or so. I played against [DuPont's] Randy Moss, who was 6-5 and could run and jump - just a freak of nature. But [Switzer] gets that big jump and goes."You can't take anything away from their offensive line, either. He gets to the second level and it's tough for anybody to tackle him. There's a reason he's going to North Carolina besides a great education. The reason they want him is he's fast, he's smart and he's got vision like nobody else.''GW coach Steve Edwards Jr. was happy his team - and Switzer - got their timing back in last week's 68-23 conquest of St. Albans. Switzer, one of several injured Patriots, played only half of one quarter in GW's first two games because of a concussion. "It sure was nice,'' Edwards said. "We had most of our guys back. We didn't have everybody back, but we're getting to where we feel comfortable with our lineup. A lot of kids we had called on earlier to do some jobs they hadn't normally done are getting better at doing a nice job.''Taylor, meanwhile, would like to see his team regain some of its timing following a second-half letdown in last week's 35-34 loss at Woodrow Wilson - a game the Redskins led 27-13 at halftime.Hurricane failed to protect quarterback Austin Hensley, who was sacked five times in Beckley after being tackled for loss just once in the first two games."It was all mental breakdowns on pass protection,'' Taylor said. "One was his own fault for running outside the pocket, two were my fault for changing the protection after our base protection had worked pretty much all night, and on the other two the backs went to the wrong side. But every Saturday and Sunday you see guys making millions of dollars or guys on Division I scholarships giving up sacks."If you throw 34 times, you're going to give up a sack or two. It's the nature of the game. You can't completely fault the offense. Woodrow has some good athletes and we made a lot of mental mistakes and I made a bunch of mistakes not sticking to what we did in the first half. We beat ourselves, and I think we realize that.'' Hensley, with 835 passing yards, comes into the game trailing South Charleston's Jon Alexander by 12 yards for the lead in the Mountain State Athletic Conference. Hensley's 11 TD tosses are four more than any other MSAC player."He does a nice job of spreading the ball around,'' Edwards said. "They have some good athletes, and he's getting the ball in their hands.''Edwards also took notice of Hurricane running backs Zach Pate and Steven Handley, who combined are averaging more than 13 yards per carry."Pate, at this point in the season, is having a real nice run,'' Edwards said, "and Handley hasn't even really begun yet. He's waiting to break out, and I hope he doesn't do it this week.''Reach Rick Ryan at 304-348-5175 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

A MAN from Grays will appear in court this week accused of stealing a £15,000 coin in Cambridgeshire.
The 51-year-old is also accused of taking a gold Roman coin in Norfolk worth £200 in an offence known as night hawking.
Night hawking is illegal metal-detecting on archaeological sites, or other areas of archaeological interest, and private land in order to recover treasure or other items of value.
It is performed where permission to survey and dig has been refused or never sought.
Essex Police takes a lead in England and Wales on night hawking and have been gathering intelligence on various national targets.
In April last year, officers were contacted by the British Museum who reported a suspected case of someone failing to declare treasure under the Treasure Act.
The following month officers seized the coins following search at a property in Grays.
The man will appear in Basildon Magistrates Court on Thursday, February 20 to face the charges.

One of largest storms in recorded history strikes Philippines
The numbers are unreal. Sustained winds of 195 mph. Gusts to 235 mph. It's not Hollywood, it's an actual storm -- a Super Typhoon -- that was bearing down on the Philippines with strength mankind rarely sees.
The U.S. Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Center in Hawaii shortly before landfall said Typhoon Haiyan's maximum sustained winds were 314 kilometers per hour (195 mph), with gusts up to 379 kilometers per hour (235 mph). It had been poised to be the strongest tropical cyclone ever recorded at landfall.
"195-mile-per-hour winds, there aren't too many buildings constructed that can withstand that kind of wind," said Jeff Masters, a former hurricane meteorologist who is meteorology director at the private firm Weather Underground.
The only tiny bright side is that it's a fast-moving storm, so flooding from heavy rain - which usually causes the most deaths from typhoons in the Philippines - may not be as bad, Masters said.
"The wind damage should be the most extreme in Philippines history," he said.
It's difficult to put those numbers into perspective, but here is a feeble attempt to do so...
* At of late Thursday morning, NOAA had estimated the central pressure of Haiyan at 858 milibars, which if verified by an actual reading, would shatter the record for lowest atmospheric pressure ever recorded, currently at 870 mb from Super Typhoon Tip that struck in the Western Pacific in October of 1979. If you want to find 858 mb on your home barometer, you won't. That number translates to 25.34 inches of mercury. Which means the dial would have to spin around several times to register that number.
* To compare to U.S. hurricanes, the lowest pressure recorded was 882 mb (26.05 inches) from Hurricane Wilma in 2005.
* Haiyan is obviously a Category 5 storm. To reach category 5, you just need 157 mph or greater sustained winds. Haiyan has 195 mph. If there was a Category 6 or 7, this might have reached it. Ominously, the National Hurricane Center says for a Category 5 storm: "A high percentage of framed homes will be destroyed, with total roof failure and wall collapse. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last for weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months."
* As Haiyan swirled just off the coast of the Philippines, hurricane force winds (74 mph or greater) extended 100-110 miles in diameter across the storm, or about the distance from Mount Vernon through Seattle to Olympia.
* As mentioned earlier, as of late Thursday morning Seattle time, Haiyan's estimated sustained winds were 195 mph with gusts to 235 mph. That is about on par for wind strength as the estimates from Hurricane Camille that struck the Gulf Coast in 1969. According to Yahoo!, Camille had sustained winds of 165 knots (190 mph) with an estimated top speed of 174 knots (200 mph) but all wind measuring devices were destroyed in the storm so actual numbers are unknown.
Hurricane Andrew, also a Category 5, topped out at 165 mph sustained with gusts to 200 mph when it smashed into Florida. Hurricane Katrina reached a top wind speed of 150 knots (173 mph) but weakened to a Category 3 before landfall in Louisiana.
* Locally, the great Columbus Day storm of 1962 had a gust of 145 mph in Cape Blanco, Ore., 138 mph in Newport, 127 mph in Corvallis and 116 mph in Portland.
* Other ways to visualize 236 mph: It's roughly the top speed of a Formula 1 car, a bullet train goes about 200 mph, a 737 takeoff speed is about 165 mph, and Cincinnati Reds' Adrolis Chapman threw a pitch in a game a few years ago that hit 105 mph.
Or if you were to travel 236 mph, you would be covering just under 4 miles per minute. A particle blown from Tacoma would reach Seattle in 6 1/2 minutes. You could get from Seattle to Portland in 36.7 minutes.
Luckily there is plenty of advance warning with the storm but with a storm this strong, it's going to be difficult to find adequate shelter near where the storm makes landfall. Hopefully they were able to get in evacuations to parts of the islands more on the fringe of the storm.

From near death to new life: Turtle leaves Oregon for San Diego
EUGENE, Ore. - What looked like a rock stopped Nadine Fuller in her tracks at her favorite beach near Newport in June.
Fuller spotted it first through her binoculars, then ran toward the water.
She could see the endangered Pacific green sea turtle was in trouble.
"I thought he was dead," Fuller said Tuesday, remembering that day. "He had washed in with the tide. He was just laying there."
The turtle has been recuperating at the Oregon Coast Aquarium for the past two months.
Now known as Koa, the turtle got a ride from Newport to the Eugene Airport on Tuesday, where SeaWorld and the Navy met him to fly him south to San Diego.
Once there, the endangered turtle will undergo more rehabilitation with a goal of someday soon releasing him into the wild.
"He's a young mature male. He looks good, he's reacting well, he's eating well. He's gaining weight," said Laura Todd with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "So we presume that he'll be able to set free."
When Fuller first saw Koa two months, he was dying.
She visited him Tuesday as he boarded the plane to San Diego.
"I think it's wonderful," she said. "He's off! It's great!"

Hanson yields just two runs in Cactus League debut
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Tommy Hanson took his first step Wednesday auditioning for a role in the Rangers' rotation, turning in a steady performance as he allowed two runs on five hits over three innings in his club debut against the Rockies.
"He did a good job," manager Ron Washington said. "He's been a successful pitcher, and hopefully he'll stay healthy and he'll continue to do the things he did today. If he pitches like that for six or seven innings, he's going to keep us in ballgames."
Hanson, signed by the club last month to compete for a rotation spot, ended his afternoon much smoother than he began it. The Rockies pushed across both runs off him in the first inning, the first coming on a Charlie Culberson homer and the second on a Wilin Rosario double.
"When my fastball was down, I thought it was good and got good results," Hanson said. "When it was up, I didn't. [I've] got to stay away from those thigh-high fastballs."
After a clean second inning, Hanson delivered his best work in the third, retiring Corey Dickerson, Rosario and Nolan Arenado in order using just eight pitches.
"I think as I went along it got easier, especially in that last inning," Hanson said. "Hopefully I can carry that over to the next one and build on it."
Hanson's outing Wednesday came just hours after the Rangers announced the signing of Joe Saunders to a Major League contract. But even with more competition around him, the right-hander isn't concerning himself with what he can't control.
"I just have to go out and worry about myself," Hanson said. "Whatever is going to be best for this team is going to happen, so hopefully I can go out and do my part and throw well. This is where I want to be and this is the team I want to play for. Hopefully it all works out and comes together at the end of the spring."

R&D Lab
A proliferation of new technologies is expanding the tools that are available to artists. Eyebeam Research and Development (R&D) identified emerging technologies, extended existing technologies, and developed these technologies. The Lab focused on underlying tools with the goal of maximizing the expressive potential of new media. This broadly interdisciplinary work was sustained through partnerships with academic institutions, corporate labs, start up companies, and artist-inventors. Courses, apprenticeships, and special events gave students, professionals, and the general public direct access to the R&D process.
R&D topics included social network theory and viral media, rapid prototyping technology, the history and future of art production environments, and new models for learning. Other topics were covered as part of specific projects and collaborations, including surveillance technology, electronic music production, physical/virtual interfaces, responsive video, wireless networks, displays, biological art, miniaturization, and telepresence.

I was left with all my grandmas things when she moved to a nursing home. She was always a big elvis fan and in her collection I came across these and I know what they are but just curious if anyone knows what they are worth. Ive searched the internet and really cant find out much about them.

Tensions are growing in the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom of Bahrain. Protests by Shiites in outlying areas are growing ahead of next week's anniversary of the uprising. There are daily clashes between protesters and police and some fear that the violence will escalate as the anniversary approaches on Feb. 14, perhaps spreading to the streets of the capital, Manama.

As an ordained minister, it was my honor and pleasure to recently marry another wonderful couple here at my Texas Lehmann Legacy Ranch. Clinton and Aurora were guests at the Enchanted Cabin and chose to be married at the gazebo by Enchanted Lake.
From the bride: "Thank you for all the attention you paid us as we decided to elope. The Enchanted Cabin was wonderful and the wedding was more than we expected. We will be back!"
There are so many choices for your perfect getaway wedding or elopement here at Blisswood bed and breakfast:
- At Enchanted Lake, most ceremonies are performed in the gazebo. We have had horse-drawn carriages bring the bride to our charming arched bridges, a groom and his groomsmen have arrived via rowboat across the lake, and one couple even departed via hot-air balloon from their lakeside wedding!
- The gorgeous old trees make a perfect natural setting under which to take your vows. Our Live Oaks branch out into umbrella-like canopies, shading and protecting your union and small reception.
- The Garden Gazebo in our Formal Garden provides an intimate setting. With lanterns hung in trees, fairy lights draped about, and one or two wedding tents, this gorgeous wedding site can easily transition right into your reception location.
- Have an informal Oasis wedding. The rock-wall waterfall, gorgeous greenery, blooming orchids and other flowers, and swimming pool provide the perfect backdrop to your small tropical wedding, and might provide a literal way to "take the plunge!"
Great Wedding Photography Ideas:
- Plan your wedding when our Texas Bluebonnets are in season to take advantage of great photography opportunities.
- Live Oaks provide a gorgeous place to recline with your new spouse, and provide a natural lace-sunlight effect.
- Photos at the Oasis may make people think you actually went to the South Pacific for your wedding!
- Our windmills and water tank are charming accessories for your ranch backdrop.
- We have some SPECTACULAR sunrises and sunsets here at the ranch. Sunrises are often accompanied by fog lifting from the ranch and wildlife out for the morning meal. Sunsets provide amazing colors and lighting.
- Many of our cabins and buildings have beautiful interiors, porch swings, and antiques for an Americana setting.
If you choose to elope, I am happy to marry you at any location here at my Hill Country Ranch. Or you can plan your own ceremony, whether small or large, using your own choice for clergy and location. I will be happy to help you pin down the details for your perfect day!
Carol Davis, Hostess

Patients who spend the holidays at El Camino Hospital will find holiday greetings to cheer them up when the hospital's Auxiliary volunteers deliver cards handcrafted by local Kiwanis Club members.
Members of the Kiwanis Club of Los Altos and the Bayshore Kiwanis Club teamed up last week to create more than 80 personalized holiday cards with supplies donated by The Makery in downtown Los Altos.
In addition to fusing paper, ribbon and adhesive cutouts, members added handwritten notes inside each letter.
Los Altos Kiwanis members participated in the card-making activity in lieu of attending the organization's regular weekly meeting.

GWENT residents should be cautious when dealing with firms selling home alarm systems, police and trading standards officers warn.
Police have received reports that home security companies have been cold-calling residents in Monmouthshire, sometimes making false claims to persuade people to buy their products.
Some have falsely told homeowners police will not attend incidents of burglary, even if a burglar is still on the premises.
Monmouthshire Trading Standards are investigating and advise consumers not to purchase security systems from cold-calling companies, either on the telephone or at the door.
They say residents should get quotes from at least three security companies who are subject to independent inspection by a recognised body; either NSI (The National Security Inspectorate) or SSAIB (Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board).
Anyone who feels a product is being sold through misrepresentation should inform the Citizens Advice Consumer Service by calling 08454 040506, or call Gwent Police on 101 if you believe a crime has been committed.

Holy crap, I can't say enough about the Patriot. I threw a red pearly pinnacle yesterday, and it was a dream disc. Also threw a silver sparkle proto. Awesome, awesome, awesome.
Think of a longer Leopard. Easy to control high speed turn, long stable phase, and then gentle hyzer finish. I was throwing 350' with ease from about 5˚ hyzer. This is going to be a disc that can do everything, I'm excited to work with them some more, it might be the one I've been waiting for, the one that finally challenges the ESP Cyclone for the prime slot in my bag.
Seriously, this is the best new disc I've thrown in years, you have to try it!

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Tesla Motors (TSLA) is one of the most innovative automotive companies in the world, pioneering the way for electric vehicles to move into the mainstream.
The company, headquartered in Palo Alto, Calif., makes the Model S, while Tesla's Model X is arriving in spring 2015.
To make its cars, Tesla purchased the old New United Motor Manufacturing automobile manufacturing plant in Fremont, Calif., which was jointly owned by General Motors GM and Toyota TM. At its peak, the plant was producing more than 500,000 cars a year, but GM pulled out of the joint venture in 2009, and Toyota in March 2010.
On May 20, 2010, Tesla announced it would buy a part of the NUMMI plant and would collaborate with Toyota on developing electric vehicles, production systems and engineering support. Tesla purchased some of the equipment in the plant from Toyota, for maybe as low as one-tenth of the original cost, and began refurbishing the factory.
How Tesla Wins on Elon Musk's 'Controversial' Patent Promise
How Tesla Is Winning the War Against New Jersey
"The entire factory is organized around synchronized manufacturing, which is typical for big manufacturing operations," said Gilbert Passin, Tesla's vice president of OEM & Re-Manufacturing, during a recent factory tour. The plant, which is home to some 2,600 employees on two separate floors, houses nearly 150 robots at various locations, which use some of Tesla's proprietary technology to manufacture the car, including everything from doors, to seats, to tires to the aluminum inside.
Tesla currently is using only about a quarter of the 5.5 million-square-foot plant, and intends to deliver more than 35,000 Model S units this year, which it announced on its fourth-quarter earnings call and reiterated on its first-quarter call. The factory comes complete with its own Supercharger station (one of the company's biggest) and retail store, in addition to manufacturing the Model S and the Model X next year.
Passin noted that Tesla is currently manufacturing about 750 to 800 cars per week, up from almost 700 cars per week as of the end of the first quarter. Even though production has increased sharply since the Model S started being delivered in the summer of 2012, it's too early to think about another factory just yet. "While we are expanding our factory capacity to support increased Model S production later this year and the introduction of Model X next year, our goal is to deliver more than 35,000 Model S this year," said Simon Sproule, Tesla's VP of Communications in an email.
Here's a look inside Tesla's factory where every car is built to order, either via by man, or by machine, or by both.

One of the biggest challenges VARS face as they make the transition into managed services, or MSPs must contend with as they build their business, is dealing with customers who don't want to be on a managed services plan. Do you walk away from the opportunity? Do you make an exception for a potential customer? Can you change the customer's mind?
This is always a tough question, and the answer usually depends on the business maturity of the MSP. For an MSP who is not yet profitable, or still working to cover basic business costs, I can never recommend turning away work where you can make a profit. Note that I didn't say take any opportunity that crosses your desk. If you can't cover costs, don't do it!
However, as your MSP business matures and you're making a profit, it's often necessary to start focusing on the work that fits your business model and goals. The core idea behind managed services is that process is followed and systems are used to gain efficiencies and deliver a consistent service to the customer. Contracts and engagements that don't fit this model will cause inefficiencies and drive down profit. As an MSP's business matures, it becomes increasingly important to only make exceptions when there is a concrete commercial benefit. Maturing MSPs will find fewer and fewer compelling business reasons to make this exception.

For even-toned, smooth skin Nancy says to try this:
Beat one egg white (save the yolk for later) until it's frothy.
Then beat in the juice of half a lemon (the lemon helps fade uneven splotches on skin).
Smooth the mask onto your face and leave it on for ten to 15 minutes.
Rinse with warm water.
Eggs are rich in vitamins and fatty acids that make hair stronger, shinier and more manageable. Make your own hair conditioner using egg yolk:
Beat two egg yolks together with two tablespoons of olive oil.
Add in one cup of apple cider vinegar and mix.
Apply evenly throughout your hair and rinse well.
Grab an egg and bring the spa to you! And check out more of SELF's DIY tricks and tips for beautifying at-home.

Arkansas guard B.J. Young, a third-team preseason All-American choice by Sporting News, has been suspended two games by coach Mike Anderson for violating team rules.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported Young was absent from Monday's exhibition game against LeMoyne-Owen and also will sit out Friday's season opener against Sam Houston State.
Young averaged 15.3 points as a freshman and shot 50.4 percent from the field, including 41.3 percent from 3-point range.
Arkansas starts the season slowly, with Longwood and Florida A&M at home following the Sam Houston game. The Razorbacks then travel to Las Vegas on Nov. 23 for games against Arizona State and then either Wisconsin or Creighton.

Topic: Chemoembolization / TACE - outcome and stats?
My wife (Whipple 2011 for CC, post-adjuvant chemo, chemoradiotherapy for recurrence, and now recurrence in retroperitoneum) has just started transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), plus systemic Xeloda, with Prof Thomas Vogl in Frankfurt.
We're short on outcome data, survival stats and academic papers besides a 2011 study (Int. J. Cancer: 131 733-740, lead author Prof Vogl) on TACE in the treatment of patients with unresectable CC; not exactly my wife's case, but relevant.
Researching PubMed and Google Scholar produces numerous studies on TACE for liver involvement, but only the above paper for extrahepatic CC.
Could anyone direct us to published TACE research more relevant to my wife's case? Or institutions specialising in TACE for CC?
Contact with any of Prof Vogl's other patients, past or present, would also be appreciated.
Many thanks.

Babies develop early math and numeracy skills by experiencing concrete actions on their world. Take simple paper tearing. One big piece of paper can be torn into 2 pieces, 3, 4, 5 — from the one piece come many pieces—like magic to a baby. We take it for granted but to babies this is exciting stuff. Watch Whitney's squeal with each additional "division" of paper:
It is these early intuitive experiences with sequence, number & numeracy that provide the foundation for later abstract mathematical symbol systems. It is the same with more and less of stuff; babies notice the difference. More ice cream for the sibling can bring about a temper tantrum. We can help our babies reflect on these logical and numberical aspects of their world by drawing attention to them and narrating a bit as I attempt in the video.

NEW plaques commemorating famous Blackburn people could soon be appearing on the town's streets.
Regeneration boss Maureen Bateson has pledged to seal a deal with local historians to revive the scheme.
She is keen not just to replace lost and stolen plaques, including one marking Jack Walker's birthplace, but add new ones as part of her revitalisation plans.
Coun Bateson said: "I have a few names in mind, including a couple of Blackburn Rovers footballers."
She intervened after Blackburn Local History Society appealed for action to revive the scheme after the plaque to Mr Walker went missing.
Responsibility for the plaques rested with Blackburn Civic Society until it folded a few years ago. The history society has an agreement with English Heritage, which oversees the national scheme, to keep the list of the existing 24 plaques.
As scrap metal thieves can target the distinctive badges, they asked Blackburn with Darwen Council for permission to maintain, replace and add to the commemorative plates dotted around the town.
Coun Bateson said: "I am very keen to bring back the blue plaque scheme. I have instructed officers to move quickly to conclude an agreement with the society.
"It is important that we have this means of marking important people and places in the town's history."
Blackburn memorial maker Brent Stevenson has offered to give replacement plaques to replace those stolen, including the one dedicated to Jack Walker.
He said: "We would make exact copies in black granite, which are maintenance free, last longer than metal and have no scrap value."
Local history society chairman Ray Smith said: "We would welcome an agreement with Coun Bateson. We have had a meeting with council officials and hope to have another one soon.
n Any similar deal to revive the scheme in Darwen would have to be concluded with that town's local historians.

A STALWART of amateur theatre has died after a minor stroke.
Cynthia Sanderson, 75, had been due to receive an award for 60 years' service to local theatre companies on Friday, but died overnight last Thursday.
Earlier in the week she had been in hospital after a minor stroke, but was discharged on Wednesday to the Todmorden Road, Burnley, home she shared with husband Colin.
The couple are both well known members of Burnley Light Opera Society, and Cynthia's last performance was in The Garrick's production of Calendar Girls at the ACE Centre, Nelson, in September.
Grandson Richard Sanderson said: "She had a great time doing that play - like any production, she threw herself into it.
"She wasn't a poorly lady, although she had been in hospital, but she died in her sleep.
"She was still a serving member of several societies, although she didn't do as much as she had.
"Cynthia was on the stage all her life and Burnley Light Opera Society was going to present her 60-year award after this Friday's performance of Copacabana."
Cynthia first appeared on stage with St Stephen's society as a dancer, before moving on to BLOS, The Garrick, Colne Dramatic Society, Nelson Civic Theatre and Clitheroe Parish Church Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society over the years.
Richard added: "A local director once said to me 'Your grandma doesn't walk across the stage, she glides'. She always looked comfortable, was word perfect and was equally good at comedy or drama. Cynthia taught me an awful lot about stage craft.
"She was always a most elegant lady, and that's what a lot of people will remember her for. Looking through some of her clothes the other day, my grandpa said 'we'll give these to the charity shop', but instead we decided they will go to Pendle Hippodrome's wardrobe store as many local society's hire from them and it will be a great way to remember her, seeing her clothes back on stage."
In 1997 she was mayoress, alongside her friend Enid Tate, and she was a member of the Towneley Hall Society with Colin.
A spokesperson for The Garrick, with whom she had appeared in 26 plays, said: "From starring roles to supporting cameos, Cynthia always gave 100 per cent dedication to her contribution to the production. "Cynthia will be sadly missed for her unfailing good humour and gentleness."
Cynthia's funeral will take place at St Stephen's Church, Oxford Road, Burnley, at noon on Friday.


text: WVU move to Big 12 hits tricky political snag By Dave Hickman October 26, 2011 Story Share Manchin warns of Senate investigation MORGANTOWN, W.Va -- West Virginia's imminent move to the Big 12 Conference isn't as imminent as it appeared on Tuesday.It hit a major snag late Tuesday and Wednesday. And whether that snag is a mere speed bump or an outright stop sign remains to be seen.The Big 12 board of directors Tuesday night apparently put the brakes on any immediate expansion plans. That could have something to do with the league's continuing uncertainty about Missouri's plans, but more likely it could be second thoughts about settling on West Virginia as the replacement for the Tigers.Apparently, politicians are getting involved.The New York Times on Tuesday reported that Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the U.S. Senate minority leader (and a Louisville alumnus), is lobbying for Louisville to be the school that replaces Missouri in the Big 12. And he apparently has some sympathetic ears.Among the Big 12 presidents who decide such matters is Oklahoma's David Boren, who in addition to serving as Oklahoma's governor in the late 1970s also served in the Senate from 1979 to 1994. McConnell has been in the Senate since 1984. The Kansas City Star, in its final editions for Wednesday morning, topped an earlier story about West Virginia's move to the Big 12 with a caution that it wasn't a done deal. "Mountaineers moving to Big 12? Not yet'' read the headline."It remains an ongoing process,'' Big 12 associate commissioner Bob Burda said of expansion talks.It was that newspaper that reported that two sources familiar with Tuesday's conference call of the Big 12 board of directors said that the league's presidents had hit the pause button on expansion. Now it appears that was perhaps the result of McConnell's push for Louisville.All of this comes after a day in which West Virginia officials were so certain of a move to the Big 12 that a news conference was in the works to announce the move. Big 12 interim commissioner Chuck Neinas was making plans to be in Morgantown. The league had already begun crafting a news release. The first alarm that went off came shortly after 9:30 p.m. Tuesday when WVU issued a statement saying that no news conference had been scheduled. It was also learned then that a visit by Neinas and other Big 12 officials to Morgantown tentatively scheduled for Wednesday had been called off.And by Wednesday morning, WVU officials who were quite willing to discuss the move to the Big 12 off the record on Tuesday had clammed up."I'm not talking today,'' said one highly-placed source at the school.When asked if that signaled trouble with the move to the Big 12, he simply repeated himself. "I'm not talking today,'' he said before hanging up the phone.How much of an about-face the Big 12 will do is unknown. A majority of the presidents might still be in favor of West Virginia or perhaps McConnell's influence has reached deeper. It could be next Monday before anyone knows. That's when the league's board of directors (the presidents) is scheduled to meet again.Even if the push for Louisville isn't strong enough to elevate the Cardinals above WVU in the Big 12's pecking order, it seems logical that the conference could simply be slowing down the process because it had gone too far too fast. Missouri is widely believed to be leaving the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference and the league wanted to be proactive and have a replacement at the ready. On Monday, those same presidents approved West Virginia as the replacement.But Missouri has yet to officially inform the Big 12 it is leaving. Still, sources at West Virginia indicated Tuesday that Missouri's ultimate decision did not matter, that WVU was going to be added as either a replacement or an addition.The Big 12 board of directors, while reportedly unanimous in their support of West Virginia on Monday, never took a formal vote to invite the school. It was merely an endorsement of an expansion plan with which the league's staff could work.Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or email@example.com.

Frugal vacations?

What about staying close to home? The only time we ever go to SF is when we have out of town guests and we always discover something new. I haven't been to the new De Young Museum yet or explored the Presidio. It would be fun to spend a few days exploring - either taking BART back and forth or, if possible, spending the nights if there were someplace reasonable. Is the new aquarium open?

There are many things to do right in your own backyard! We have many museums, parks, etc. in the area. And some museums even have days where it's free admission!
I'm not sure if the new aquarium is open- I didn't know there was a new one. In S.F?
We also have beautiful beaches. Maybe hotels will start offering discounts to help people go on vacation that are staying close to home. I know Disneyland does that for L.A. residents.

Remember the beautiful old Steinhart Aquarium in Golden Gate Park? It's closed for renovations but this was on the Web site:
"The Steinhart Aquarium at California Academy of Sciences is currently in a temporary location just South of Market at 875 Howard Street (at 5th). The Academy is expected to stay in their temporary location until 2008 when major refurbishment at the main building in Golden Gate Park is expected to be completed."
I also saw that another aquarium is right on the water that sounds pretty cool. It's called Aquarium of the Bay and is at Pier 39.

The Chronicle had a big story on this this morning on their business section. And people had ideas, such as giving people a ride to another city while visiting that city, house-swapping, taking the train or the bus. I guess "couch-surfing" is also popular but I think I'm too old for that!

Sticking close to home and doing things you don't normally have time to enjoy is called a "staycation."

Is an obscure detail about how the Labor Department tabulates workers' hours obscuring an "Obamacare"-driven shift toward part-time work?
One of the most common arguments against President Barack Obama's signature health law is that it will drive employers to shift from full-time to part-time workers. That's because the law requires most midsize and larger employers to provide health insurance to employees who work at least 30 hours per week. Some companies say they're already cutting workers' hours.
As we pointed out last week, there's little evidence of a broad-based shift, at least so far. Most significantly, there's been no meaningful increase in the share of workers saying they usually work less than 30 hours at their primary jobs.
But some observers have noted that in its data, the Labor Department rounds workers' hours up to the next whole number. That means someone who works 29.5 hours would be reported as working 30 hours. So if companies are cutting workers' hours back to just under the 30-hour cutoff — as some report doing — it might not be reflected in government statistics.
But if that's happening, it isn't showing up in the data. About 5 million Americans reported working exactly 30 hours per week in their primary job in September, or a bit under 4% of all workers. That figure has been largely unchanged for the past two years. And the share of employees working 30 hours or less has actually trended slightly downward over the past year.
Of course, the so-called "employer mandate" under the health law doesn't take effect until 2015, so it's possible employers are simply waiting to cut hours until closer to the deadline. But there's little evidence that they've started yet.

Following a personal observation and a retrospective analysis of the data, the investigators hypothesise that there is increased frequency of multiple gland disease in primary hyperparathyroidism in the elderly.
This study will include patients over the age of 65, diagnosed with primary hyperaprathyroidism, referred for surgery and suspected to have a single adenoma according to preoperative imaging. Surgery will begin with a focal parathyroid exploration as suspected followed by an exploration of the other gland at the same time. Data will be analysed to determine the frequency of multigland disease in this population.

Domain: credit cards. Field: "Status" (or thereabouts). Range of values: "O" for open, "C" for closed, "I" for inactive, NULL for open or status unknown (have to check other variables to be sure).
Except for the gratuitous NULL, that doesn't seem too bad?
It wasn't too bad once we figured it out. The formal documentation only had the alphabetical codes and NULLs were about 50% of the dataset.
Well, if it's MySQL it's bad since that data should probably be an enum and MySQL (particularly older versions) will insert an empty string if you get the enum value wrong. However, even then I wouldn't use an enum. That should probably link to a separate "cc_status" table or something like that. You can then more easily insert new statuses, add human readable descriptions for each status (often with enums I see human readable versions hard-coded in the program), and you don't have to worry about changin
You can then more easily […] add human readable descriptions for each status (often with enums I see human readable versions hard-coded in the program)
The database is a terrible place to put any string that might be subject to i18n.
I agree with the rest of your points.
