The fatigue crack propagation of high strength aluminum alloys subjected to variable amplitude loading is strongly influenced by sequence effects. For a reliable evaluation of the sequence effects, an exact knowledge of the changes in the mechanical and physical conditions of the material surrounding the crack becomes necessary. To allow greater understanding of these processes, two aspects which are based on recent crack propagation investigations are considered in the present study.
First, a verification of a new detailed stress and displacement analysis based on continuum mechanics is attempted by displacement measurements using a special grid technique. The experimental results coincide well with the analysis predictions. That means, that the mechanical processes are a predominant cause of the sequence effects.
Secondly, a systematic variation of the microstructural crack propagation mechanism of aluminum alloys is used for an evaluation of the influence of the microstructural mechanisms on the sequence effects. The results show that there is an essential influence, which can lead to significant deviations in the crack propagation behavior from that as predicted by continuum mechanics.

I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ooh, I'd die to find out
Willst du bis zum Tod der Scheide
Sie lieben auch in schlechten Tagen
If you'd accept surrender
I'll give up some more
Weren't you adored
If I let this go
You can't tell nobody
I'm talking bout nobody
Her heart is weeping.
This happiness is killing her.
She starts wondering what they mean
Do they just mean to be mean
And thinking about the scene
Do they just want to be seen
Trying not to seem so just like anyone
It's driving you away
I always knew it would one day
Like the drunk you convinced was sober
You keep me falling over
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
I know you want what's on my mind
I know you like what's on my mind

KUALA LUMPUR: Khazanah Nasional Bhd has confirmed it is talking to Hong Leong Bank Bhd (HLB) to sell its stake in EON Capital Bhd (EON Cap).
Managing director Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar said the investment agency had received Bank Negara approval to commence negotiations with HLB and its consideration was purely commercial.
"This is because our stake there (10%) is considered non-strategic and non-core investment," he said.
However, Azman said it was too early to gauge when the negotiations would be concluded.
"This is because we are not the only one involved in the negotiations as HLB is also preoccupied with other bigger shareholders of EON Cap," he told reporters after Khazanah's annual review yesterday.
Azman declined to disclose the price offered for its EON Cap shares.
Azman said Khazanah would continue to divest its non-core assets this year.
Over the past five years, it has raised about RM18bil through divestments, averaging RM3.6bil a year.

Synthinetic from alexabreu on Vimeo.
If you want to turn your child into a future button pusher Alex Abreu & Ithai Benjamin's Synthinetic box seems more fun than most things you can get at Toys R Us. I credit the fact that my father grabbed some old synths from the music department at the school he taught at when the music dept. closed down for my lifetime obsession with electronic music. The younger you grab someone the better (don't let your mind go too far on that statement please!).

Could this be the miracle drug to cure autism? | News
Namenda is a drug on the market currently approved for treating Alzheimer's patients. But would you believe it if we said there was a doctor in Iowa prescribing this medicine to autistic children?
Dr. Randall Kavalier, a Des Moines psychiatrist, claims he may have found the answer for the many children living with autism.
About six years ago, Dr. Kavalier says he read a little known study.
He says, "It was huge for me because when I thought about the medicine they used, Namenda, which is of course for Alzheimer's disease, it make's absolute sense to me."
Dr. Kavalier says Namenda clears up the interference among signals to nerves in the brain. And while it is meant to help elderly brains with memory, he says it can also affect young brains that are just developing.
Stacy Brakefield's daughter has a brain injury and her son is autistic. After just six months on Namenda, she says both of her children have changed for the better.
"It is a miracle drug," she says, "Am I going to say it's the cure for either one of the things my kids have? I wouldn't say cure. I would say it's a thing to help the journey be easier. That's what I call Namenda."
But not every parent of an autistic child is sold on this said miracle drug.
Kelly O'Donnell's son Ben also suffers from autism. But this Virginia Beach mother says she would never think of putting her child on a drug that isn't FDA approved for someone his age, or with his disability.
She says, "You're watching commercials and they have all these terrible side-effects. The side-effects are almost as long as the rest of the commercial. To put your child on something like that when there's no proven good or bad is a really scary thing."
Dr. Kavalier knows that some parents and even others in the medical field don't agree with him.
Dr. John Harrington is one of the leading autism specialists at CHKD.
He says, "You don't want to put your child into the experimental group, unless we're actually doing a trial."
He says Namenda hasn't been proven effective and has yet to be proven safe so he would advise parents to be careful.
Dr. Harrington says Namenda was used a few times in two open trials. One study, he says, showed minimal improvement in language. But he says neither helped with behavior which actually got worse on the medication.
"The two studies that have been done have been open label," Dr. Harrington says. "They know what they are getting. So if I told you this is going to help your child, there's a strong placebo affect that is going to help my child. So you are going to believe it's helping your child even though you are doing five other things to help your child."
But the parents in Dr. Kavalier's practive disagree. They say Namenda is a miracle drug.
Amanda Gross' daughter Abby suffers from Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism.
For years, Abby didn't talk and frowned in every picture. But today, an 11-year-old Abby says Namenda changed her life.
She says, "I started wanting to talk more?I just wanted to tell about my day to my parents and everything."
Abby now smiles and talks and plays sports.
Dr. Kavalier says she's an example of how Namenda can work.
"I just don't want people to know that I have a disorder," Abby says. "I just want to act like I'm some normal kid."
There is good news for parents who are curious about experimenting with Namenda. Right now the organization "Autism Speaks" is funding several different drug trials.
One of those drugs they are studying is Namenda. It will take several years to gather all the data and provide a solid recommendation for FDA approval.
In the meantime, doctors say that there are some other drugs that have been studied and approved to help with the symptoms of autism. Those include Risperidone and Abilify. But as always, consult with your doctor to see which medications can help your child.

How immigrants are redefining 'American' in Southern California
Muslims in America last year: 'Like looking in the mirror and seeing a monster in place of yourself'
One of the biggest immigration-related stories of the year, one that I regret not having squeezed into my top-five list, also involved culture, religion, and a substantial dose of fear.
Nearly ten years after the World Trade Center attacks, a nationwide rise in anti-Muslim sentiment manifested itself everywhere from Ground Zero in New York City to Temecula, and many points in between. Citizens mounted protests against planned mosques from coast to coast, arsonists set fire to a mosque construction site in Tennessee, a Florida preacher threatened to burn copies of the Quran, and the overwhelming majority of Oklahoma's electorate voted to ban Sharia law from the courts, even if Islamic law had never been cited in one of the state's courtrooms.
The experience has left many Muslim Americans reeling. In the recent Bloggingheads exchange above, Egyptian-born columnist Mona Eltahawy describes the feeling she got seeing some of the news reports: "It was like looking in the mirror and seeing a monster in place of yourself."
Some good reads as State Question 755 winds its way through court
Photo by Il Primo Uomo/Flickr (Creative Commons)
A temporary restraining order will continue in effect until the end of this month blocking a controversial new Oklahoma law that, if implemented, would amend the state's constitution to ban the use of Islamic Sharia law in the state's courts. United Press International reported that in a hearing today, a federal judge in Oklahoma City extended an order blocking implementation of what was known on the ballot as State Question 755, approved by voters in the Nov. 2 election.
The ballot initiative was approved by an overwhelming majority - 70 percent - even though there is no known instance of Islamic law ever being cited in Oklahoma courts.
Two days after the ballot measure was approved, the director of the Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations filed suit to stop its implementation on constitutional grounds. Today the restraining order was extended until Nov. 29, when a ruling is expected on whether the law violates the U.S. constitution.
Reaction to Oklahoma's controversial, precedent-setting anti-Sharia law
Photo by Il Primo Uomo/Flickr (Creative Commons)
A closely watched and potentially influential state initiative banning the use of Islamic Sharia law (also spelled Shariah and Shari'ah) in Oklahoma passed by an overwhelming margin yesterday.
In The Washington Post's On Faith column today, political science professor Muqtedar Khan wrote:
Critics of Shariah in Oklahoma argue that they also oppose the Shariah law because it is against freedom of religion. In this age, when ignorance and bigotry are being celebrated in America, I am sure that most people in Oklahoma must have missed the irony in the situation.
The key sentence in the State question 755 is: It forbids courts from considering or using international law. It forbids courts from considering or using Shariah Law. The proposition also bans international law. To consider how ignorant both the authors and the voters of the proposition are, please take a look at Article Six, Section I, Clause II of the US constitution. It is called the supremacy clause.
According to this clause, international treaties to which the U.S. government is a signatory become "the supreme law of the land". Treaties, along with custom and UN declarations are the main sources of international law (the proposition 755 actually mentions it). Thus by rejecting international law the proposition designed to institutionalize Islamophobia in Oklahoma, has effectually said "thanks, but no thanks" to the U.S. Constitution.
What is State Question 755? Here's more
The AtlanticWire has a roundup of stories on Oklahoma's State Question 755, an until-recently obscure ballot initiative in the Sooner State that, if approved by voters, would prohibit the state's courts from using international law or Islamic Sharia law when making rulings.
I wrote about this curious bit of proposed legislation the other day. As unusual and geographically removed as it seems, State Question 755 is relevant beyond Oklahoma in the same way that Arizona's SB 1070 - and Oklahoma's similar HB 1804, which preceded it in 2007 - have been politically relevant beyond both states.
The inspiration for the measure, according to its backers, comes from a New Jersey case. From CNN:
The question might seem a befuddling one for a ballot in the heartland, but it stems from a New Jersey legal case in which a Muslim woman went to a family court asking for a restraining order against her spouse claiming he had raped her repeatedly. The judge ruled against her, saying that her husband was abiding by his Muslim beliefs regarding spousal duties. The decision was later overruled by an appellate court, but the case sparked a firestorm.
Haven't heard of State Question 755? Here's why you should

A photo of an Oklahoma state highway map, February 2010
The Atlantic's politics editor Marc Ambinder wrote yesterday about an as-of-yet obscure "anti-Sharia law" initiative that has made it onto the Oklahoma state ballot, and how if it performs well with voters, we might see a series of similar initiatives used as a cultural wedge issue in other states. From the post:
Will anti-Sharia law initiatives be in future election cycles what anti-gay marriage initiatives were before? That is, a cultural wedge issue the GOP uses to ensure that hard-core conservatives enthusiastically flock to the polls?
If so, then Oklahoma is the proverbial canary in the coal mine for this type of initiative. One of 11 ballot initiatives in the state this November, State Question 755, better known as the "Save Our State" constitutional amendment, would prevent courts from using international or Sharia law. The question made it to the ballot by passing the state Senate 41-2 and the House 82-10. In addition to potentially rallying the conservative base to the polls, the initiative, which bans something that is nearly impossible statutorily, is worth watching because the GOP may employ it in swing states two years down the line.

Though I've known of feng shui for years, I didn't have a firm understanding of what this energizing modality was until last week when I met with my friend and feng shui teacher-practitioner Kulwant Kaur Khalsa. Prior to this, I thought practicing feng shui required replacing large amount furniture with new age-ish fare. Not at all!
Feng shui is an ancient system of Chinese laws that govern the spatial arrangement and orientation of objects and architecture to help channel the flow or energy, or chi. Whether you live in a large house or a small studio apartment, the rules of feng shui can be of benefit!
Kulwant's deep interest in feng shui began a few years back. A native of Mexico, she's always been very in tune with feeling the energy of a space. After moving to New York from Oregon in 2010 with her husband, Kundalini teacher Hari Nam Singh Khalsa (who is a dear friend of mine), she began studying under feng shui specialist Roger Green. As she told me, his course was incredibly rigorous and rewarding.
Feng shui focuses on bringing five elements into balance: wood, fire, water, earth, and metal. When this is accomplished, disharmony is diminished and one can more easily prosper in health, wealth, relationships, and overall well-being. In short, Kulwant determines what must be done to better align a space based upon the resident's date of birth, as well as the age and history of the home. As you can imagine, the time required to adjust a space can vary greatly.
Though a full feng shui treatment is more involved, Kulwant shared five things we can all do today to help the chi move more freely in our homes:
1. It's very important that the energy flows and isn't stagnant. Accordingly, do not collect or let things accumulate that you do not ordinarily use. (Consider function over sentiment. Only keep useful furniture. Let go of old papers.)
2. The main entrance to the home is especially important, as it announces to the world, "Welcome to Our Home" and "Welcome to Prosperity." Thus, I would recommend keeping the area clean at all times and decorating it with plants, flowers, a wind chime, and similar welcoming elements.
3. In feng shui a dripping faucet means that your money will also drip away.
Naturally, I recommend taking care of this matter if it exists.
4. Good feng shui would also indicate that ideally we should not put the television or computer in the bedroom, as the electromagnetic fields they emit can interfere with healthy sleep patterns.
5) The dining room holds a place of importance, as this is where much of the social interaction and family harmony in the home occurs. Accordingly, the shape of the dining room table should accommodate easy communication between every person sitting at the table, which will often suggest a round-shape dining table.
I also loved a tip Kulwant told me about the stove. Using each burner on a regular basis is said to lead to prosperity. I've certainly been putting this into practice!!
Kulwant is off to China for a few weeks, but might do a feng shui make over of my home upon her return. I'll blog about it!
If you have questions regarding feng shui, or would like to have Kulwant look at your New York City home, please e-mail her.

Owl: Animatic Version 1. Finding Structure and Narrative Through Editing. 20:50
As much I like spending time infrared-ing the great outdoors, I've also got a piece of time-based media to create at the same time. I've gone straight to an animatic stage because ultimately this is where I feel content is going to come from. I don't want the editing of the piece to be lovely but disparate images neatly placed together, I think the editing should tell and story and dictate the way the audience will engage with the images. As I currently don't have any final clips to work with, I've re-used the marker pen After Effects tests I created a few weeks back. If you weren't sick of seeing infrared photographs you're probably sick of the sight of those blimmin' marker pen sketches again but they'll have to do for the time being. Hopefully though, you can begin to see some small shoots emerging. Now that I have a base to work from, I can both continue to refine the hell out of this animatic and also think more clearly about the final visuals. Not all of it works at the moment (the opening doesn't feel correct in relation to the rest) and timings are bit out, but it's a good starting point to work from.

Owl: Clouds, Clouds and More Clouds! 16:58
I'll explain my intentions in my next non-photo update but I wanted a bank of high res and crisp cloud images as potential use as overlays or transitions in the animation. Rather than relying on the internet and not getting exactly what I want, I just went out and took a bunch of Infrared shots of the sky and got exactly what I want. With IR it's a piece of cake to get a very dark, almost completely black, sky (depending on the angle) so that you end up with wonderful white puffy clouds. These aren't final images, ignore any scuffs or dirt etc.

Owl: Infrared Photography Part 3 21:30
Another post and another set of IR images. I hope it doesn't get boring, but there will be animation related stuff soon!
This time I experimented by switching the exposure between ISO 6 and 12 and seeing what one less stop of exposure produce. I can definitely say I prefer the look of the slightly longer exposure of ISO 6. The images pop out far more.

Owl Progress Report 08/04/2014 09:00
It's been just over a month since I first launched Owl in earnest and the project is shaping up quite nicely. It seemed like a good time to collate all the tests and research into one place to see where I am right now. If you haven't been following the project, Owl is a track off Mondegreen, the debut album from Collectress. I'm producing a short film to accompany the track. It's going to be a black and white animation with a mixed media approach, incorporating film photography, traditional media and CG animation.
I won't be going into a huge amount detail explaining what each and every thing is, rather just a brief summary at the start of each section. Click on the links instead to go to a more comprehensive post.
Any feedback or comments are welcome as always.
Initial Ideas and Development
For the most part. I've started this project in a very carefree and improvisational way. Starting with some simple marker pen sketches while listening to the music, and then slowing bringing in other elements while still retaining them at the core. I've squeezed a lot of value from these initial sketches, and I think it's important that their rawness and emphasis on mark-making can find a place in the final animation.
As the visual style is slowly emerging from those initial marker pen sketches, I've begun sourcing an array of eclectic visual influences. Right now, I'm in a 1960s and 70s Japanese photography moment. Which is probably not how Collectress ever imagined Owl, but who knows where this project is going!
I'll be posting a few more things later on.

What's Next?
Firstly, the biggest challenge moving forward is developing the art direction and animation into something which is technically and visually satisfying. To achieve this I'm going to devote as much time and attention as possible to getting it right. This means a continued period of research and development but with an emphasis on concretising the final look. Secondly, there's still plenty of work needed to develop the animation into a cohesive piece of time-based media. I'll be updating the first animatic test to closer represent the intended structure of the animation. Until then...

Owl: Kaneto Shindo's Onibaba 22:35
After Daido Moriyama's Tales of Tono it seems like the influence of stark black and white visuals from Japan are becoming more apparent in this project than ever before.When strolling around and taking pictures of the nearby marshy area around where I live, I'm always instantly reminded of Onibaba; Kaneto Shindo's horror classic from 1964. It's real primal stuff as far as horror filmmaking goes, and with the night shots in particular I love how space is essentially created only by the artificial illumination of tall grass. The rest is pure darkness. It creates this wonderfully endless and surreal space. Totally theatrical.
Oddly enough, Shindo directed a film called Owl in 2003 which I only found out about when creating this post!

Does Apple have a price problem?
With consumers choosing cheaper iPhone models, Apple may face a struggle in getting customers to pay up.
While Apple's (AAPL) iPhone is still the most popular smartphone with U.S. consumers, it appears many customers are opting for less expensive models.
Verizon on Tuesday said that more than half of the iPhones it sold in the fourth quarter were older models, which sell for much less than Apple's iPhone 5. After reporting quarterly results that disappointed investors, Apple shares took a tumble this week.
While supply constraints were one issue, discounts on Apple's iPhone 4 models were also likely a culprit, reported CNN.com.
One Verizon dealer told the Wall Street Journal that his customers leaned toward the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, because they didn't see a reason for paying up for the iPhone 5. There was also tougher competition from Android phones, and new phones from Nokia (NOK), the dealer, Dane Scism, said.
Apple may be losing some of its shine with consumers, too. The company slid from a list of U.S.' hottest 10 brands, as ranked by market research firm YouGov BrandIndex, which questions thousands of consumers each day. In 2011, Apple was ranked 10th.
Two new brands, meanwhile, entered the top 10 list: the Kindle, the e-reading device from Amazon.com (AMZN), and Google's (GOOG) YouTube.

I did a double take followed by a triple check when, late last week, I found myself perusing--and drooling over--an L.L. Bean catalog I'd just received in the mail. I'm on the L.L. Bean mailing list because I've purchased everything from ExOfficio sun and insect shield shirts for my sportsman dad, and a British Slip Lead to keep our unruly dog in check, to monogrammed Adventure Duffels for both boys (they'll have them forever), and I'm pretty sure I'll score the Sea-Washed Canvas Duffel for hubs for Father's Day. Frankly, L.L. Bean sells great stuff: for guys and dogs and kids and moms who like pleated trousers and polo shirts. But I have never, not even once, considered purchasing something for myself (okay, maybe duck boots). Until now.
As it turns out, the outdoor gear and polo shirt purveyor's new collection, L.L. Bean Signature (led by Alex Carleton, a veteran of Polo Ralph Lauren, Abercrombie & Fitch and Rogues Gallery, his own line) has quite a few stunning spring and summer looks. Here are our picks:
I love each of these looks-the trench is from the Spring line while the others are summer, but I had to include it since I'm seriously coveting the hunting-inspired sateen pant. Also pictured are the Over the Shoulder Bag, a vintage-inspired piece from the 1957 L.L. Bean archives (totally lusting after that one), and the Seersucker Stripe Trouser in royal blue. Love.
Pictured above:
Over the Arm Bag in Aztec Gold - $145
Seersucker Stripe Trouser in Royal Blue - $69
Sateen Pant in Dark Umber - $85
Cotton Modal Tunic Tank in Darkest Navy - $35
Not all of the line is a hit, but several pieces from each category are, including these fab separates. The silk knits are an inventive if pricey take on basics, but with L.L. Bean's lifetime, unconditional guarantee (yes, seriously), you can bet they'll last.
Pictured above, clockwise from top left:
Cotton Modal Tunic Tank in Darkest Navy - $35
Kennebunk Silk V-Neck in Sea Jade Heather - $89
Kennebunk Silk Stripe Scoopneck in Royal Violet - $99
Ruffle Tie-Neck Shirt in Darkest Navy- $79
Silk Habutai Print Skirt in Antique White - $139
Kennebunk Silk Scoopneck in Darkest Navy - $89
Sateen Pant in Dark Umber - $85
Shoes, Accessories and Bags - YUM! Want them all.
Pictured above, from top left to right:
Milbridge Clog in Warm Red - $125
Silk Square Scarf in Forsythia/Collegiate Blue - $39
Dessert Bootie in Soapstone - $169
Cork Wedge in Sea Glass - $119
Resin Bangle in Golden Cider - $35
Portia's Pearl Necklace - $275
Downeaster Sport Canvas Bag in Golden Cider - $59
Over the Arm Bag in Aztec Gold - $145
I don't know about you, mamas, but I am loving the trend of reinvigorated brands from LOFT and Lands End, but L.L. Bean Signature is one of the best, and most delightfully surprising, showings yet.

© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
JONESBORO — Drivers will soon be able to push the pedal a little closer to the metal on Interstate 285 without breaking the law.
Documents presented to the Clayton County Board of Commissioners show the Georgia Department of Transportation is planning to raise the interstate's speed limit from 55 mph to 65 mph in the county. Commissioners are being asked by GDOT officials to adopt a new list of roadways in the county to formally acknowledge the increase.
The list includes the speed limits on roadways and commissioners must adopt it to enforce those limits. The lists are also required for use of speed detection devices.
"Per Georgia DOT, without the new list of roadways, the county will not be able to enforce the 65 mph speed limit on I-285 with speed detection devices," Clayton County Department of Transportation Director Jeff Metarko wrote in a Sept. 20 legislative request letter presented to commissioners this week.
But codifying the new speed limit is not a quick process. It takes an ordinance to make the new speed limit law and that requires two readings at consecutive commission meetings. The first reading was this week. The next one will be done Oct. 15.
Although the county commission is being asked to codify the new speed limit only for Clayton County, Chairman Jeff Turner said the increase is not limited to the southside of metro Atlanta.
"They're raising it for all of 285," he said.
County officials will apply for a new speed detection device permit once the list is formally approved by commissioners.

The most Important things I think !
dear propellerhead,
Reason is great and I let down a lot of my old synths to use only reason... It's simple and almost full... I said almost because some important things missing. In my engeneering school, we teached me that all a song is based on the mix ! So the mix depand a lot from the mixer. The one in reason is good but here is a list of devices that will dramatically make it perfect !
1. Add Insert for each channel !
why?: Because we use almost always compressor and effects that needs to be in insert.
2. Add compressor for each channel !
Why?: almost each instrument need to be compressed and/or limited (voice, kick, snare...)
3. Add group to the mixer !
Why?amn ! Imagine you have a batterie with 5 or more channels ! Once the mix made, impossible to change volume without 'breaking' the mix... And in all mixes, each kick, hat, snare, etc must be on different channel to be equalized, compressed, effected...
4. Parametric EQ on Each Channel !
Why?: Each instrument have it's own EQ. the actual eq are not doing the job very weel, parametric is essential.
5. Saving mixer EQ/comp/aux/etc... state
Why?: a lot of mixes are made for each song, imagine the first mix was good but since you have teste different EQ/effects and now you cannot retrieve it ! Saving theses parameters will save your 'life' )
6. Master compressor And EQ !
Why?: almost every song needs to be compressed at his end and equalized (except for aces engineers...). A Master compressor/limiter/EQ will be great.
I'm surrely missing some things but actually I can do almost all theses thing with the actual reason but it's a pain !
I hope you will read this and take it in consideration. Reason is the best music software I ever seen and I'm waiting for the next version impatiently...
Best regards,

Agriculture Building 2013
Department #3354
1000 E. University Ave.
Laramie, WY 82071
Phone: (307) 766-3114
Email: email@example.com
Development and implementation of short- and long-term student learning assessment protocols in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management are in the initial stages of establishment. Following is a summary of our program goals, student assessment activities, and problems, challenges, and issues in obtaining accurate and comprehensive student learning assessment instruments.
Program Goals: The department has identified broad, overall academic program goals, but has not yet had an opportunity to formulate degree-specific comprehensive goals. Following are general departmental learning expectations for students enrolled in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management:
More comprehensive, degree-specific learning go will be formulated in the future as Departmental faculty continues on-going discussions of these topics.
Summary Of Assessment Activities: Assessment activities include exit interviews with randomly selected students, interviews with selected alumni, visits with employers of recent graduates, discussion with faculty teaching capstone courses (to determine breadth of student knowledge), and evaluation of graduate student post-graduation publication and accomplishment records. The purpose of these limited assessment activities is to determine breadth and depth of student knowledge, and future needs for curriculum revisions. As staff support and resource availability increases, the Department will develop more sophisticated, comprehensive assessment instruments.
Efforts To Track Students: In December 2006, an alumni survey was distributed with the Department's annual Christmas newsletter in an attempt to obtain information on alumni employment areas, professional accomplishments, and to solicit suggestions/input for enhancing the Department's degree programs to meet future professional employment needs of our students. We are in the process of summarizing alumni responses to date, and plan to present the survey results on this link in the near future. In addition to this recent alumni survey, the Departmental faculty utilizes opportunistic situations to visit with graduates (e.g., professional meetings, telephone visits, e-mail correspondence, etc.). The Department plans to refine and develop more comprehensive post-graduate surveys and long-term alumni tracking mechanisms as resources and staff support improves.
Problems, Challenges, and Issues with Assessment: Undergraduate and graduate student enrollment in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management is escalating each academic year. Demand from prospective employers for recent graduates trained in applied natural resource research, management, teaching, out-reach education, and service is also increasing as the "baby-boomer" generation reaches retirement age. To meet the educational needs of our escalating student enrollments and demand from prospective future employers, the Department is continually adding new faculty and reconfiguring our academic programs. It is essential to keep our academic programs on the "cutting edge" to keep pace with professional employment needs of our future, recent, and long-term graduates. This will require development and implementation of comprehensive short- and long-term student learning assessment protocols and measuring instruments. We will continue working to develop and refine assessment protocols to obtain accurate and comprehensive input from our graduates, which will be applied towards continual enhancement of our academic curricula.

At least 10 downtown banks close during RNC | News
Tampa, Florida -- At least 10 downtown Tampa banks will close during the Republican National Convention.
Financial institutions that have announced their downtown branches will be closed during the week of Aug. 27 include: Regions Bank, Florida Capital Bank, Sun Trust, BB&T, Florida Bank, C1 Bank, Fifth Third Bank, Wells Fargo, Florida West Coast Credit Union and US AmeriBank.
On Friday, Bank of America says it will announce whether its downtown bank will stay open during the convention.
Officials with M&I say they may close, but as of now will take it day-by-day.
Northern Trust, located at 425 N. Florida Avenue, says it will stay open during the convention.
Financial institutions are frequently targeted by anarchists and officials expect 15,000 protesters to be in town for the GOP Convention.
But while most of Tampa's downtown financial institutions will be closed during the historic event, a survey by the Downtown Tampa Partnership finds about 140 downtown businesses will stay open with some even extending hours of operation.

Rescue Lung, Rescue Life
By Andrea McKee, Brady McKee, Christoph Wald, Carla Lamb, Paul J. Hesketh, and Sebastian Flacke
Lahey Hospital & Medical Center developed a CT lung screening program that eliminated self-pay rates and raised patient and physician awareness about the proven ability of CT lung screening to save lives.
Highlights from this Issue:
In A Model Rural Chemotherapy Program, Avera Cancer Institute describes how they established guidelines and standards of practice at all rural sites and created a checklist and plan that addressed safety, education, practice, compliance, and supervision when administering chemotherapy.
Post-Katrina, Baton Rouge General Pennington Cancer Center developed a disaster response plan to facilitate the quick restart of an evacuated patient's radiation oncology treatment. Read Disaster Charts—Information Security Nets for Patients for details of their emergency plan, which includes flash drives of information given to all patients undergoing active treatment.
In Ask ACCC's Community Resource Centers, Dr. H. Jean Khoury of Winship Cancer Institute discusses treatment protocols for chronic myeloid leukemia, including a coordinated outpatient team approach for the management of CML patients. Plus, a case study shows how enrollment on clinical trials can offer patients opportunities otherwise not readily available. Available online only, Winship Cancer Institute's CML Flow Sheet.

I recently starting working on Pirie St and have become a bit of a frequent visitor of The Office on Pirie. In the past few months, i have noticed some vast improvements. The staff are friendly and inviting, the atomsphere, decor and music is excellent. The re-vamped menu and daily specials are fantastic and reasonably priced, all the dishes i have tried have been outstanding. I highly reccomend to anyone who has not checked out the office recently to give it a go!

The owners of the office, of which I am one, thank you for your comments. If there are ways in which you would like to see the Office improve then please share your comments on line and over the bar and lets make the Office a place for all to enjoy. There are somethings we can change overnight and others that will take a little more time, get on board and help recreate the iconic Office of old and share the experience with a new generation.

Sharon Stone Looks Fresh And Fabulous In Beverly Hills
Jun 23, 2011 06:30 AM
She just keeps getting better with age!
Sharon Stone looked absolutely flawless in a sexy summer dress, nude platforms, and a deep brown leather Hermès Birkin bag as she browsed the shops in Beverly Hills on Wednesday.
The gorgeous A-lister's next movie, Waco, is currently in production and costars Adrien Brody, Kurt Russell and Giovanni Ribisi. The film centers on the retelling of the 1993 stand-off between the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and David Koresh, leader of the Branch Davidian cult in Waco, Texas, according to IMDB.
Waco is expected to hit theaters this year -- we can't wait to see Sharon in another dramatic role!

Mountain Biking Takes Bike Riding To Another Level
Bike riding has come a long way since its inception in 1817. That's when Baron Von Drais was cleaver enough to design what he called a walking machine to get around the Royal Gardens faster. He used his feet and two in-line wheels to get from one point to another. The front wheel was steerable when he mounted the wooden frame and pushed with his feet so this new method was referred to as glide walking. It was a short-lived fad that wasn't practical since it could only be used in a garden or a well maintained park.
Pedals were added to the front wheels of bikes in 1865 and that model was called the "bone shaker" or velocipede (fast foot) since it was made entirely of wood with metal tires. That was a bone shaking combination in those days. Folks would ride them on the cobblestone streets so it was a short-lived fad as well.
Paddling the Weeki Wachee River
The Weeki Wachee River of Florida is one of the truly wonderful getaway destinations for anyone who enjoys being out in nature. Located north of Tampa in Hernando County, this river is filled with crystal clear water and provides twelve miles of beautiful scenery and fun activities.
Perhaps the most famous spot on this beautiful natural resource is Weeki Wachee Springs. Here you'll find live underwater variety shows that star real live mermaids. The submerged Mermaid Theater is a fun place to catch these ladies in a spectacular show, or you can board a river boat to take a group cruise along the river. You can even make arrangements to scuba dive in the Weeki Wachee Springs if you're part of a dive shop group. Snorkeling—always a fun activity—is encouraged there as well.
Paddling in Traffic and Judging Collision Course
If you are an avid kayaker, you have probably already discovered that a number of different vessels and boaters are likely to share the rivers, seas, lakes, and waterways that you feel at home in. Additional vessels such as pleasure boaters, working vessels, canoes, power boats, sail boats, and ships of all shapes and sizes may be on a large body of water at any given time. Although kayakers enjoy the privilege of being able to escape to wild and wonderful wilderness settings for their paddling, it is not always possible to paddle in such conditions, and every now and then, you might have to paddle in more hectic waters. When you kayak in the same bodies of water as people with power and motor boats, you run into a situation that is very similar to what cyclists face when they venture out onto roads and streets filled with cars while riding their bicycles.
Most frequent road cyclists are aware of the fact that when you ride a bicycle it is important to keep to the right part of the road where you will not run the risk of being caught in the main flow of traffic; this is because there is likely to be faster and more dangerous traffic in the middle of the road that you might want to avoid when riding, such as cars, trucks, and even semi trailers. The same principles are relevant when kayaking. Larger boats are more likely to follow certain paths. Such paths might be marked channels that are potentially also dredged. They might also be reasonable travel lines connecting two places or even river beds and mouths of harbors. When you are kayaking in open waters, however, such as when you are close to an ocean or a sea, you should expect large vessels to be on virtually any course one could imagine, which means they might head in every possible direction.
Bushnell Trophy Cam
The Bushnell Trophy Cam is a great product that can enhance your overall hunting experience. The new design is one that revolutionizes the industry overall. Bushnell is well known as a leader in this industry. What is great is that this model is very small so it is convenient to carry it around. Even though the size is smaller though it doesn't lack any of the remarkable features that the larger ones offer.
The Bushnell Trophy Cam comes with a battery that has a life of about 1 year. This camera is going to help you with capturing the image of even fast moving animals. It offers a 1 second trigger speed so you can get the photos you want without any blurriness. There is the three shot display offering so you can get lots of poses if you want. You can also set the delay to be from the default of 1 second up to 60 minutes.
Diamond Iceman FLX
The Diamond Iceman FLX bow is an excellent choice. In 2009 it took the lead for the Outdoor Choice Competitors award. Diamond has always been a leader in the industry of bows. With the FLX there is a cable containment system offered that makes it highly tuned with the right amount of tension. When you have a premium bow, you need such ability.
The string stop is made from quality carbon. It has a Realtree camouflage pattern. It comes with a hardwood grip that is stylish as well as highly effective for overall control. If you don't want to be seen on a hunt, the camo pattern of this bow is going to help you to remain well hidden. This bow is soft to the touch and insulates the hands during cold weather shooting. That is a huge benefit so that you are comfortable and your accuracy will remain.

Alan's book, The Entrepreneurs Tax Guide, is a unique voyage into tax saving for the small business entrepreneur.
It distils 30 years of tax knowledge into 200 pages of highly accessible and actionable tax information.

Alan Pink Tax Is Unique
Many investors, entrepreneurs and small to medium sized businesses find it difficult to obtain first class and authoritative tax advice.
This is because most full-time tax specialists in the UK are employed by large legal and accountancy firms. They work exclusively for multinationals and the extremely wealthy.
Alan Pink Tax, on the other hand, concentrates on providing the same effective advice to individuals and owner managed businesses.
We are a small firm headed up by two highly experienced partners. We regularly achieve extraordinary results for our clients where others have failed.

California Privacy Laws Reach Beyond California
Security and Disclosure Requirements Binding for All Firms Doing Business with California Consumers
YORK, Maine — December 7, 2004 — Businesses across the United States need to be aware of two important pieces of privacy legislation going into effect in California on January 1, 2005.
SB 27 — the "shine the light" law requires that companies doing business in California disclose their use of personally identifiable information for direct marketing. AB 1950 requires that companies not already subject to data security federal standards comply with basic security safeguards to protect customer privacy and data integrity.
"S.B. 27 and A.B. 1950 are two of the most far-reaching measures in the latest wave of California privacy legislation," said Reece Hirsch, a partner with the San Francisco office of law firm Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP. "These two new laws will impact a wide range of companies doing business in California and may indicate the direction of future federal legislation."
The laws are the subject of an audio conference hosted by the International Association of Privacy Professionals on December 8, 2004, from 1:00 — 2:30pm ET.
"I think that helping to educate organizations on privacy requirements and best practices is probably the most effective thing this Office does to fulfill our mandate to protect consumer privacy," said Joanne McNabb, Chief, California Office of Privacy Protection.
McNabb and Hirsch are two of the panelists participating in the audio conference. They will be joined by Harry Valetk, director of privacy online, Entertainment Software Rating Bureau, and noted privacy expert Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder of the Ponemon Institute.
"This teleconference is important for all privacy professionals, not just those individuals who operate from California-based organizations," Ponemon said. "SB 27 and AB 1950 may be early indicators of what will happen on the federal regulatory scene."
December 8, 2004 — 1-2:30 pm (ET)
California Privacy Disclosures and Security Requirements
Two new California laws, SB 27 and AB 1950, mean new requirements for companies collecting personal information on California residents. SB 27, the so-called "shine the light" law, requires detailed disclosure of personal information sharing for direct marketing purposes. AB 1950 requires basic information security safeguards of companies not subject to similar federal rules. Our expert speaker team will examine the impact of these new laws and answer your specific questions.
- Joanne McNabb, Chief, California Office of Privacy Protection, Sacramento, CA;
- Reece Hirsch, Partner, Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP, San Francisco, CA
- Larry Ponemon, Chairman and Founder, Ponemon Institute, Tucson, Arizona
- Harry Valetk, Director of Privacy Online, Entertainment Software Rating Bureau, New York, NY
Format and Fees
IAPP audio conferences are scheduled for 1½ hours, with the first hour dedicated to speaker presentations, followed by a Q&A period where the audio attendees get answers to their questions from the experts. Reference materials are sent to the registrants approximately 48 hours in advance of the audio conference. Registration fees: $159 per line for IAPP members, and $179 per line for nonmembers. To register or order a CD, retrieve the online order form from www.privacyassociation.org, or phone Katie Paris at 207-351-1500.

The International Association of Privacy Professionals is the world's leading association of privacy and security professionals. The IAPP helps define and support the profession of privacy by being a forum for interaction, education, and discussion across industries.

Amnesty USA Director Sees New Context For Rights Abuse
Rising ethnic conflicts have generated more `prisoners of conscience' since cold war's end
THE world's human rights scene is quickly changing, with increased ``disappearances'' and summary executions making it harder to identify and publicize the plight of individual victims, says William Shulz, the newly installed executive director of Amnesty International USA.Skip to next paragraph
Subscribe Today to the Monitor
Dealing with such ``new realities on the ground'' will be a prime concern for Mr. Shulz as he prepares to barnstorm the country as Amnesty's top official in the United States. He anticipates countless talks on college campuses and gatherings with community groups to drum up financial and personal support for Amnesty's campaigns to free ``prisoners of conscience.''
While the identities of those people who are jailed and often tortured for holding dissenting political or religious views may be harder than ever to establish, their numbers have not subsided, Shulz says. The end of the cold war and the decline of world communism, Shulz observes, might have led some to assume that human-rights violations would decline, too. But the abuses have only taken other contexts.
``The resurgent ethnic tribalisms we're seeing - in Bosnia, the former Soviet Union, and elsewhere - often lead to very serious rights abuses,'' Shulz says. And too often the perpetrators of such abuse are sheltered by political leadership.
The question of impunity is high on Amnesty's agenda, Shulz says. The organization strongly supports calls for an international tribunal on war crimes in Bosnia. With a tone of disgust, Shulz notes the ``comfortable'' lives being led by such flagrant oppressers as Uganda's Idi Amin, Haiti's Jean-Claude Duvalier, and Cambodia's Pol Pot.
Social-activist past
Seated in his condo in the outer Boston suburb of Maynard (he will soon move to New York, Amnesty's US headquarters), Shulz surveys the demands of his new job. It's a post that he feels well prepared for, he says. His past 10 years were spent as head of the Unitarian Universalist Association in the United States. That work, heading a denomination known for its social activism and tolerance, gave him ``a firm grounding'' in some of the issues he will now be dealing with daily.
To begin with, he has practical experience in managing a ``medium-sized'' nonprofit organization (Amnesty has a US staff of 80). And questions of social justice have preoccupied him since his first ministerial assignment in the late '60s. That was in Kent, Ohio, right at the time of the student protests that led to the shooting deaths of four Kent State students by Ohio National Guardsmen in 1970.
International experience
His religious faith emphasizes ``the inherent dignity of every human being,'' Shulz says. He recounts his trip to Romania four years ago just after the overthrow of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. Romania's Transylvania region was the birthplace of Unitarianism some four centuries ago, and Shulz and his delegation wanted to help ensure that the religion's adherents there would be treated fairly. Unitarians had been persecuted for years under Ceausescu. Shulz also traveled to India, where his church has missions helping women and bonded laborers.

Tandem - my FRENCH for your GREEK
Hi there,
I'm going in Greece in June and I hate being unable to communicate with people... I live part-time in Berlin. I'll be there first half of May.
I have studied ancient greek at school and I still read it but I forgot pretty much everything -- hum... everything. I just need some solid basic language skills :)
I'm a native French with University studies and I can help with all levels.
Efkharisto !
