Two days after a tiny tsunami hit Hawaii from an earthquake near Tonga, a panel of scientists agreed to look at whether current inundation and evacuation zones here need to be changed because of the threat of a larger earthquake from the same area.
"The current evacuation maps do not reflect the hazard from a tsunami from that direction," Gerard Fryer, a scientist with the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, said yesterday.
Daniel Walker, a tsunami scientist and adviser to Oahu Civil Defense, explained that current tsunami inundation zones and evacuation maps were created for tsunamis from earthquakes to the north and east of Hawaii, where destructive tsunamis have historically come from, not from the southwest, where the Tonga Trench is located.
The last major earthquake from Tonga occurred in 1919 and generated a 2-foot tsunami in Hawaii that did not cause major damage.
But Walker noted that there were no destructive tsunamis generated by the fault near Indonesia until Dec. 26, 2004, when a magnitude-9.0 earthquake created a tsunami that left at least 216,000 people dead or missing.
Walker added that the pattern of earthquakes around the Tonga Trench is similar to the earthquakes near Sumatra before Dec. 26, 2004.
Wednesday's earthquake generated tsunamis of about 1.5 feet in Kahului Harbor and about 8 inches in Hilo Harbor at about 11:30 a.m., Fryer said.
People watching the normally calm waters of Kahului Harbor were actually able to observe the water movement from the tsunami, Fryer said.
Wednesday's tsunami shows that a seismic wave from the area can hit Hawaii, but it is not known how big it would be or where it would hit if the earthquake were much larger.
Kwok Fai Cheung, chairman of the University of Hawaii at Manoa's Ocean & Resources Engineering Department, said he would be working on a computer model of a tsunami from the region that could be used to determine how far inland the tsunami would reach and what kind of wrap-around effect it would have on the islands.
The panel of scientists, who met yesterday at the state Civil Defense headquarters, agreed that a magnitude-9.0 earthquake on the Tonga or Vanuatu faults is a worst-case scenario.
But they are still discussing how likely it is, whether once every 500 years or once in 1,000 years.
If the computer models show a need to change the tsunami inundation zones, it could have an effect on insurance rates and property values. Evacuation zones and plans might also need to be changed.
The computer model and any suggested changes to the inundation zone could be completed by the end of the year, Cheung said.
Cheung, a consultant to the state Civil Defense, is also working on redrawing current inundation zones and evacuation maps, which have not been updated since 1991.
Jeanne Branch Johnston, the state's earthquake and tsunami program director, said Cheung's revisions would be reviewed by the panel of scientists who advise the Civil Defense division, then given to each county.
The counties will have the final say on how or whether to revise their inundation zones and evacuation maps.

My Philosophy
I think of a teacher as a co-planner (along with her student) of possibilities. I feel that it is my job to open up the world of possibilities for the children I work with, and the best way I can do this is to teach them to read and write to the very best of their ability. The better children can read, the more opportunities they have for learning anything and everything they want to learn. The better children can write, the better they are able to get across their thoughts and point of view, and in almost any profession the ability to communicate effectively and well in writing will be an invaluable asset.
I work with children who are struggling with reading, and who are usually many years behind in their reading development. The foundation of my teaching is the thorough assessment I give each student at the beginning of our work together. In my opinion, assessment is the cornerstone of all good teaching. It is important for a teacher to know what her students already know and what they still need to learn, so she can guide them in taking the next step. A teacher also needs to have a thorough knowledge of her subject (reading) and a clear view of what that next step ought to be for each student so that she can guide her students into early and continued successes.
"Success breeds success." When children struggle too much when reading, they aren't motivated to practice reading, and the negative cycle continues. I have a thorough knowledge of the reading field, which allows me to scaffold the student's learning in such a way that she will not struggle too much. I am fortunate to be able to work with struggling readers on a one-to-one basis, which allows me to assess and adjust my teaching moment to moment according to whether or not the student understands and has retained the previous learning.
I am consistently gaining new and important knowledge, insight, and skills and new information about assessments and learning that will continue to benefit my students.
High Expectations
I have high expectations of my students. I see them as the bright, capable children they are. I know that students struggling with reading or diagnosed with dyslexia are typically of average to above-average intelligence, yet they may have feelings of low self-esteem at least in regard to their inability to read well. At our first interview, I assure the student that I know they are bright, that I've previously worked with many children in their same situation, and that I believe they have just not yet been taught in a way that makes sense to them. I let them know that I'll be giving them some assessments to let me know how to teach them better. We discuss (along with the parent) the student's strengths and weaknesses and goals. I get a sense of how motivated the student is - generally my students are very motivated -- which, of course, makes my job much easier.
Motivation and Knowing One's Students
"Teacher, know thy students" is an important part of my philosophy. I believe the more you know your students, the easier it will be to awaken their dormant motivation. I have created a Likert-like Scale assessment to serve as a baseline in showing how the child feels regarding their ability to read, write, spell, and understand the meaning of words (vocabulary) and how they feel about reading and writing. It also asks them to mark how important it is for them to be good at the aforementioned skills, (an attempt to assess their beginning motivation). At the end of our work together, I have the student complete a similar scale and we then compare the two so we can see how far they've come and how their feelings about reading (and writing) have changed.
One way to help motivation along is to start out with a good questionnaire. Students, I believe, are happy to know that someone cares about what they think and what they're interested in. Teaching reading is my passion, and I feel that I am a better teacher when I help children to uncover their interests and passions. It is important to know what children are interested in reading and writing about, because reading and writing well, will be somewhat meaningless if children are not motivated to read and write. If children see a reason for learning, that is an additional motivator. Using what I learn about the student's interests and desires, and preferred ways of learning, makes good sense for best teaching.
Multi-Sensory Teaching
I believe in using a multi-sensory, systematic approach in teaching children to read better; children's strengths can be used to shore up their weaknesses. The reading programs I use are multi-sensory programs that combine visual, auditory and tactile approaches to reading. Struggling readers, often, for example, have difficulty with adjacent consonants. At the beginning of my program, in one activity, students manipulate colored blocks to show when a sound has been added, subtracted, or changed in a word. Students enjoy this hands-on approach. Students also "map" and "sort" words containing the same sound by the sound's various graphemes or "sound pictures," saying each sound while writing its sound picture.
The Right Book at the Right Time
I am certain it is important to have students reading immediately. There are programs on the market that require students to memorize a lot of phonemes in isolation before advancing on to reading real words. I believe this is totally unnecessary and serves to de-motivate students. Children need to see a reason for reading--a purpose--often that purpose is for pleasure; reading isolated phonemes has no purpose-and provides no pleasure.
Providing children with the right reading guidance and the right book at just the right time is one of the teacher's most important jobs. In my work with struggling readers, often, there is not a "just right" book to start with; even the books that purport to be "easy readers" are just too difficult. Because it is so important for children to experience immediate success, I've created several progressive stories that provide a scaffold, as each new skill is added on to skills from preceding stories, in such a way as to assure that students experience the reading success they so desperately desire. My decodable stories are integrated with my sequence of instruction and they have proven to give a big boost to students' self-esteem as students quickly realize they are indeed readers. The stories also provide a way for students to develop fluency, and, therefore, feel and be successful reading, possibly for the first time. When students have struggled so much and experienced failure for such a long time, I believe that only consistent success will lead them to the love of reading that is our common goal.
Of course, I want to get my students into reading real books as quickly as possible. One of my new students, a sixth-grader, reading at a 2.6 grade reading level, when asked recently what kind of books he would like to read if he could read whatever he liked, said "Chapter books." In his questionnaire, he wrote, "Easy books." I assured him, as I was able to do, after assessing his skills, that, although we would start with easy books, he would indeed be reading chapter books before too much longer. I have developed a list of books that compliment my program; they help glide the student into some easy and fun chapter books. The student's reading will, of course, branch out from there, until ultimately the goal is that she will be able to read whatever she wishes.
Parent Involvement
I work to involve parents as much as possible in their child's learning. When everyone is "on the same page" so to speak, the child's learning will be accelerated. I have created several "Parent Letters," that give parents an overview of my teaching philosophy, methods, and procedures. I revise and personalize these generic letters to inform parents of the various parts of my program and the skills their child is working on at present. I suggest small ways the parents can be supportive of their child in his present stage of development.
In an ideal situation, the parent would during the week be able to help reinforce the child's newly learned skills, particularly with younger children. Older children may not want their parents' help. I encourage all students to do the homework I give on their own so I can see what they know, not what their parent knows. However, I request that parents read to their child daily, if possible, and discuss word meanings and ideas, so that once the child is able to decode, he'll have a head start in comprehension. At times, an older child may step in to read to their younger, struggling sibling.
Reading, Writing and Spelling Connection
The more I teach, the more I see in action the strength of the reading, writing, and spelling connection. Not only does teaching these three in concert, save time (killing three birds with one stone), it also makes sense, not only to me, but I believe to my students, as well. Students are provided with a framework to better understand the English code and they can more easily connect to the learning.
Children often enjoy the creative writing process and they enjoy reading and sharing what they've written. I encourage children to use invented spelling in order to write freely without the worry of conventions slowing them down or completely halting their ability to write. Ideas come first; later we can work on spelling and syntax. This invented, or what I like to call "developmental" spelling provides me a window into whether or not the student as retained and made use of past learning. I hope what they've learned so far about spelling will begin to show up in their writing and I encourage this as they move along in their various stages of development.
In essence, it is my job as a teacher to provide my students with the ability to become life-long learners, to widen their worlds and their opportunities. I am committed to this task.

Responsible Business at the Park Inn by Radisson Astrakhan
Taking responsibility for the environment and local community has been an important part of the broader commitment of the Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group to sustainable development for many years. In 2001, this commitment was fortified and placed within the scope of a programme called Responsible Business (RB).
Green Key
In December 2014, Park Inn by Radisson Astrakhan received the 'Green Key' eco label.
An eco label is a voluntary tool that is intended to stimulate operators to carry on their business in a sustainable and efficient way. An eco label also guarantees the customer a predefined basic standard. The certificate was awarded by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), a non-government, non-profit organisation promoting sustainable development through environmental education.
Green Key means an establishment has fulfilled a list of requirements. Park Inn by Radisson Astrakhan fulfills 57 imperative criteria and 29 guideline criteria, which is a very high score among the hotels all over Russia.
The Park Inn by Radisson Astrakhan practises Responsible Business in the following 3 areas:
Launched in 2012, Think Planet is an ambitious energy project aimed at reducing energy consumption by 25% in 5 years. The hotel plans to achieve this target by replacing light bulbs with energy-saving LED technology and by encouraging staff and guests to participate in turning off the lights and equipment when not using them.
RB actions and awards:
'Think Together' summer, in which we donated linens and towels to the local assisted living facility for lonely elderly people and also to the refugees from East Ukraine, has given way to 'Think Together' autumn.
For the second year running, our hotel participates in the regional charity campaign 'First year at school'. This year we started the RBAM by donating 20 new complete school sets to children from underprivileged families.
We are convinced through thinking and acting together, each of us can make a contribution to the community in which we live.

A large Gulf Coast refiner experienced a series of corrosion failures on the atmospheric overhead line, resulting in significant refinery downtime and repair costs. Prior to the equipment failures, routine sampling suggested periods of very low pH (pH less than 3) in the condensed water for 12+ hours, but the root cause was still yet to be identified.
The refiner calculated the 3D TRASAR Technology for Crude Overhead Systems saved an estimated reliability savings greater than $6.7M per year.
A root cause failure analysis highlighted a key action to increase the amount of sampling to further clarify the possible cause(s). A 3D TRASAR™ for Crude Overhead Systems (3DTCOS) was installed and connected to the DCS for improved understanding of the real time behavior of their overhead. The 3DTCOS outputs were set to alarm both Nalco Champion and refinery operations of process conditions with high corrosion risk.
The 3DTCOS tracked pH dips and chloride spikes, linking back to mud washing on the desalters. Each pH/chloride event caused short-term pressure fluctuations and a drop in caustic dosage. This lead to a mechanical survey on the unit that identified mud wash piping pressure interferences and operational differences between the desalter trains as the root cause, which was fixed at the next TAR.
The 3DTCOS was critical to understand the mechanical, operational, and chemical causes of this corrosion event, and the estimated reliability savings calculated by the refiner was greater than $6.7M per year.

I have been hoping to incorporate blogging into my off season more (and let's be honest, my busy season too :p ) So I began brainstorming some good topics to include during my 'less' busy season.
Most of the Wedding Industry is much like a blind date. You hear good things about vendors, maybe a friend or an acquaintance knows them but in all reality you are showing up to a coffee shop or their store front with little to no background information about them. So- enter Feature Friday! I work with these vendors on a very regular basis! So what greater way to get to know them then through a blog post with pictures of them and their work! 🙂
My current goal is to blog vendors once a month, but I may try to add more too that as time allows!
For January, meet Maureen of Maureen's Designs!
You will find Maureen's Designs on the corner of Ann Arbor Street and Michigan Avenue in Saline right behind Mac's Acadaian Seafood. A true mom and pop shop, Maureen opened in March of 2007 with her husband, Jack. The two moved to Saline in 2006 with their four boys, all of whom are in college now.

Like many vendors located in Saline, Maureen appreciates the small town feel, "I really enjoy the courteous and friendly clients who recognize quality work."
As you enter her shop it greets you warmly with not only the smell of flowers but an absolutely enchanting atmosphere. She has some products available ready to be purchased as well as all of the necessities to make handmade arrangements. There are several colorful vases to choose from as well as baskets and just about anything you could imagine to make a memorable bouquet. She has a sitting area that resembles a garden patio to look over photos and ideas from clients.
Then as you continue around her shop you will see every detail of the shop pairs perfectly with her work. Enchanting, fresh and lively. I was so excited to find my floral favorite, succulents (and the most difficult potted plant to kill 😉 ) are also available for sale!
One of the things I admire about Maureen's work is everything she does has a personal touch. From the arrangements you order over the phone to your bridal bouquet she has a knack of hearing what you're looking for and creating the perfect visual masterpiece! Maureen designs many of the pieces herself, unlike larger flower shops. She does have on assistant that she will bring on during busier seasons but she personally oversees all creations. Another awesome thing is how she educates her brides. In the advent of Pintrest, many industry professionals will simply recreate what the bride brings, but Maureen is able to create from scratch some amazing artistic arrangements (as she did for my husband's and my wedding!) as well as what you can find on Pintrest!
Here are some photos from our wedding, they really do not do the flowers JUSTICE! I had a simply stunning Calla lily bouquet and each of my bridesmaids had these amazing handmade flower balls!!! This is a perfect example of describing to Maureen an idea and precise execution! They served as head table decor as well with the aid of stocking hangers! She also arranged some beautiful pieces for the front of the church too!Photo credit to the *amazing* Sarah Lugo Photography
Below is Maureen assembling an arrangement ordered for a client's wife's birthday! Jack is there to help with more of the business end of things as well as deliveries and moral support! You can see their love for each other in how they work together, which is pretty rare in husband and wife run business! As you can see they are adjusting to business– and an empty nest very well! Maureen is still booking for some 2014 Weddings and Events! So get in while the gettin' is good! Also she is an excellent choice for Valentines Day, or just because! While located in Saline, they deliver to all of Washtenaw County!
If you have had any work done by Maureen make sure to leave some love on the blog or on her facebook page!!

The mystery of how the Egyptians built the pyramids without modern technology has long puzzled scientists and Egyptologists alike.
But now researchers from the University of Amsterdam think they've found the secret - and it all comes down to friction.
Back in the day, the ancient Egyptians transported these massive stones on large flat sleds with upturned edges across the desert from the quarries where they were made.
But in experiments replicating these conditions, scientists found the sled kept sinking into the sand, causing a sand bank to build up in front and making it almost impossible to move.
Unless, it turns out, the sand was wet.
The scientists have discovered that by creating just the right amount of moisture in the sand, Egyptians were able to create a much firmer surface and reduce the force required to drag the sled in half.
To test their theory, the physicists placed a lab version of the Egyptian sledge in a tray of sand and determined the required pulling force and stiffness of the sand depending on how much moisture was present.
Their results, published in Physical Review Letters, revealed that the required pulling force decreased as the sand got wetter and firmer. This occurs because of capillary bridges - where microdroplets of water bind grains of sand to one another through capillary action - as Gizmodo explains.
And in hindsight, we probably should have figured this out earlier, the researchers believe.
The University of Amsterdam press release explains: "These experiments served to confirm what the Egyptians clearly already knew, and what we probably already should have. Artwork within the tomb of Djehutihotep, which was discovered in the Victorian Era, depicts a scene of slaves hauling a colossal statue of the Middle Kingdom ruler and in it, a guy at the front of the sled is shown pouring liquid into the sand. You can see it in the image above, just to the right of the statue's foot."
Well, this is embarrassing. Maybe someone should also try physics to solve the mystery of how Stonehenge got there.

Mornin' it's Monday!
Well today was my weigh-in. This morning actually, they say it's better to weigh yourself in the morning, after you use the bathroom. Your weight fluctuates throughout the day, so that's why it's not good to weight yourself ALL day. Don't get stuck on the scale numbers… and try not to weigh yourself everyday either. I know I am bad about that, but this week I am going to try to make it until next Monday without checking 🙂 I hate surprises but this is a good one. It'll teach me self-control.
If you would like to see my results, go check out my Weigh-In page. So I made an awesome dinner last night. Baked chicken with strawberry spinach salad. I made my own vinaigrette…. I used Honey, Chopped red onions, and Apple Cidar vinegar. Let the vinaigrette set for a few hours. Then just slice up the strawberries and throw em on top of the spinach leaves. It's really good! Oh and add sliced almonds 🙂 Go check out my recipes tab for the full salad steps. Well have a great morning!!

One of the scraps of fabric in the second block had lettering. I thought there was a chance of someone recognising this print and therefore getting a date. I posted a photo in the Facebook group, Quilts - Vintage and Antique.
The result was remarkable. My letters were deciphered as Grant and Wilson. Ulysses S. Grant became the President of the United States in 1873 and his Vice President was Henry Wilson. The fabric is most likely a campaign fund raiser.
Fourth Corner Molly even had her own photos of this fabric in a block. Grant's campaign slogan was 'Let Us Have Peace' which you can also see in this print.
So my Tulip Baskets blocks are up to 140 years old. Pretty impressive. I wonder if the quiltmaker was a fan of President Grant or if she was using up what she had at hand.
This week's block is Block 2 by Elizabeth Cowan.
The pattern can be found at Two Bits Patches.
Photos to inspire you are at the Chester Criswell Quilt Pinterest board.
And the original posts are here and here.

Daily Fix Poll: What's next for Congressional Democrats?
By Felicia Sonmez
From the economic stimulus package and health care reform to financial regulatory reform and border security, congressional Democrats have had a marathon legislative session over the past two years.
But as The Post's Paul Kane notes in today's paper, Democrats have now come face-to-face with the same dilemma that they've taken shots at their Republican counterparts for over the past two years: the lack of a clear message to sell to voters this fall.
There's plenty of options on the table for Democrats when Congress returns after Labor Day (!) including a "Make It in America" plan that would boost the manufacturing industry and benefit small business. There are also the increasingly distant possibilities of legislation on energy and immigration reform.
And then there's the option to do nothing at all (at least, nothing of the scale of the party's previous undertakings). That might aid candidates in districts where it's not advantageous to be seen as acting in lockstep with national Democrats so close to the midterm elections.
It's also possible that Democrats might want to fully focus their efforts on criticizing Republicans rather than attempt to push through any major initiatives.
With less than three months remaining until Election Day, what should be the next step for Democrats in Congress when they come back into session this fall? Make your choice, and tell us why, below.

BEN AND MEOriginal Medium: Illustrated prose
Adapted into animation by: Disney
First Appeared: 1939
Creator: Robert Lawson
Please contribute to its necessary financial support.

When we think of Disney ducks, a lot more than Donald and Daisy come to mind. There's Scrooge, Gladstone, the Nephews and dozens of others. But when it comes to mice, Mickey and Minnie are all most people know. Sure, there's Timothy in Dumbo and Gus & Jaq in Cinderella, but Mickey and Minnie are the only stars. (For that matter, there's The Ugly Ducking and Sonya, no relation,
in Peter & the Wolf.) To the mice, however, add a real obscuro — Amos Mouse in one of Disney's earliest cartoons known mostly for its use on television, Ben & Me.
Even more obscure is the fact that the 21-minute short had a brief theatrical presence before appearing on the studio's weekly TV show. It was released on November 10, 1953, packaged with the Oscar-winning short feature The Living Desert, part of the "True-Life Adventures" series of nature documentaries Disney produced during that decade. It was the following year, that it was first televised.
Like Warner Bros.' short cartoon Tom Thumb in Trouble, Ben & Me had certain aspects of a feature. It was directed by Hamilton Luske, whose other directorial credits include Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. The Chuck Jones piece may, say commentators, have been practice for a feature. But Disney had plenty of practice with features, in fact had recently resumed production of true features, as opposed to the less- expensive compilations it had made during most of the 1940s.
A few years earlier, Ben & Me would probably have been a segment of a compilation like The Reluctant Dragion or Fun & Fancy Free. By the time it was made, such cartoons were being marketed separately as shorts, but somewhat longer shorts than the one-reel Goofy or Humphrey Bear entertainments that were even then being phased out.
Others in its marketing category include the "Specials" Lambert the Sheepish Lion and Windwagon Smith. But even those disappeared over the next decade or so, leaving only features like The Fox & the Hound (1981) and compilations like The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977) to keep Disney animation going before the revival in the late 1980s, when Roger Rabbit and DuckTales became popular.
The story purported to be a reminiscence of Benjamin Franklin by Amos Mouse, a close associate. It started with a modern crowd admiring a statue of Franklin. It went from there into a description of the relationship between the two, and how it changed Franklin's life for the better — right at the beginning, Amos inspired Ben to invent the Franklin stove. It was narrated by Sterling Holloway (who also narrated the "Cold-Blooded Penguin" segment of The Three Caballeros), in the role of Amos. Ben was Charles Ruggles (Aesop). Hans Conried (Snidely Whiplash voiced supporting character Thomas Jefferson.
It was based on a 1939 children's book written and illustrated by Robert Lawson. Lawson also illustrated Munro Leaf's earlier story that Disney adapted into Ferdinand the Bull.
Ben & Me is not one of Disney's major works. But it's remembered well enough that the home video market has made it available even today. As, by the way, is Lawson's original book

Synopsis: This presentation establishes the value of assessing service fidelity to SOC values and reviews use of the SOCPR-R method & instrument to evaluate local systems of care. The SOCPR-R method clusters SOC principles into primary domains of child-centered, family focused; community-based; culturally competent; and impact--these domains and their subdomains are examined within a system through a multiple case study method including document reviews and key informant interviews. With family case as the unit of analysis, information is synthesized to identify patterns and trends within the SOC and generate recommendations.

Thank You Letters
From Asiame.com
I met a beautiful woman here on Chnlove.
Gentleman: Bradley Shatzer CM1329696
I (Bradley Shatzer) met a beautiful woman named Yajuan here on Chnlove. We fell in love and corresponded with each other for about 8 months. In January this year I traveled to China to meet her in person. We were excited to finally get to see each other and got married on Febuary 6, in Tieling, China, her hometown. I stayed with her for a month and a half before I had to return home in the US. We love each other very much and unfortunately she was unable to get her Visa to travel with me. While in China I met her family and friends, we all love each other and get along very well together. Currently we are working togetgher to get her visa to get her over here to be with me. There is a website there where we can see and talk to each other every day.She is eveerything I have always wanted in my life and I love her with all of my heart and soul. We have each found our true love in each other.

Search for the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs
Albuquerque, NM
The University of New Mexico (UNM), the state's flagship institution, seeks an inspirational, creative, and strategic academic leader to serve as the next Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs (Provost/EVP). Joining the team of President Garnett S. Stokes, who became President in March, 2018, the new Provost/EVP will help lead this distinct institution into an exciting new era and will catalyze efforts to enhance academic excellence and student success that will improve opportunities for all of New Mexico's residents, including UNM students, staff, and faculty, and alumni. The successful candidate for this position will be an experienced and visionary academic administrator with the proven skills to lead this highly diverse community and respected center for research and education – addressing major global challenges and the pressing needs of New Mexico.
UNM plays a critical role in educating New Mexico's residents and driving its economy through research excellence and education in a variety of disciplines, a vibrant health sciences enterprise, and branch campuses that serve students and communities throughout the state. The University has many other aspirations and is experiencing a renewed sense of possibility and promise under the leadership of the new President. The campus community is eager to welcome a new Provost/EVP who will partner with the President, the Chancellor for Health Sciences, and other key leaders to build on the University's many strengths, including its outstanding intellectual environment, highly diverse and talented student population, strong connections to the New Mexico community, and exceptional faculty and staff.

UNM has one of the most diverse student bodies of any flagship university in the nation, and is one of only a handful of Hispanic-Serving Institutions in the U.S. that has a Carnegie Classification of Highest Research Activity ("R1"). In fiscal year 2018, UNM attracted $300 million dollars in contract and grant research funding. The 2019 edition of the U.S. News & World Report ranks UNM as 187th among national universities and in the top 100 of public institutions in the nation.
UNM seeks a collaborative and forward thinking Provost/EVP who can work effectively with the President, Board of Regents, Vice Presidents, Deans and other senior leaders, the Academic Senate, students, staff, faculty, and the external community to help the University achieve further distinction by addressing the following key opportunities and challenges:

If you ever want a retreat to learn Adobe Illustrator, find your creative mojo, eat amazing food and laugh till you cry, this trip is for you. It is simply amazing. Amanda only allows 8 guests so it is very intimate with tons of hands on learning and inspiration and help available.
This is the bracelet I received upon arriving. Do you see that it says 'just breathe'... that is so freaking accurate as I do tend to worry, so now I just strap this on and off I go!
This book was also a gift and even though I am only on p. 26 it is simply amazing if you don't know how to find creative time. I love it.
Those are my toes... don't mind them at the bottom, instead look at all the heavenly fabric I came home with. I adore Riley Blake Fabrics. All those chevrons and polka dots and even some of Amanda's Lula Magnolia in there to boot!
Last up to show you is my adorable bracelet my friend Missy made for me. Don't you just love it?
Pieces of measuring tape cut up and mixed with resin and special little charms hanging off of it.
I have a special project in the works and can't wait to show it to you!
What are you working on?

Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff stunned Utah politicians Wednesday by abruptly dropping out of the U.S. Senate race, saying he needs time to work with his daughter who is struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts.
"I have a daughter (17-year-old Danielle) who has been struggling with depression and other problems for years" and has made suicide attempts, he tearfully said as he made the announcement on KSL Radio's "Doug Wright Show." He and his daughter previously talked publicly about her struggles, including in a 2006 Deseret News series on suicide.
"After I announced for the Senate and thought things were squared away with the family, things began to spiral to very self-destructive behavior. Ultimately, just a short time ago, we had to put her into a treatment facility."
Shurtleff added, "The great professionals who are working with us say whether she survives" depends on involvement by him, his wife and their family "even though she is in a facility." The daughter, who is adopted, has problems in part because of fetal alcohol spectrum syndrome resulting from drinking by her birth mother, Shurtleff said.
"The things we have to do so that she can progress and get well necessitates a substantial amount of time," he said. "So I am suspending my Senate campaign." He later made clear the campaign is ended, although he may consider a future run for federal office.
As an example of the time he needs to take for his daughter, he told the Deseret News that he and his wife must travel out-of-state next week for four days of intensive training. He said he they also must travel for days at a time beginning in December to the distant facility treating his daughter for work with her.
Shurtleff said he feels an urgency to do as much as possible to help his daughter now, while she is 17, because "at 18 she can say, I'm done, I'm out of here."
A tearful Shurtleff also said in an interview, "I worry that my life as an elected official has been part of this." He said other parents of suicidal children have warned him that such thoughts, and even blame from children, are common for parents of people struggling with suicide no matter their profession.
But, Shurtleff said, "I know how much I've put into my public service, so I start thinking, yes, maybe I am part of that."
Shurtleff said he was touched by his daughter's response when he wrote to her at the treatment facility.
"I wrote her a couple of weeks ago saying that I am seriously considering (dropping out of the race) given what we have to do. And she was so sweet, she wrote, 'I know you love to serve. Thanks for thinking about me,' " he said sobbing.
Shurtleff said he has sufficient time to continue serving as attorney general, a full-time job, but not to also run for Senate, essentially another full-time job. "I have to do what's right for my daughter," he said.
He added, "Maybe in the future there will be an opportunity to do things nationally, but I am also attorney general and will continue to serve in that role, and I can do that and provide the treatment and help my family needs. I just couldn't do three or four things at once."
Shurtleff still has three years left in his third term as attorney general.
Shurtleff had been seen as the most powerful of several conservatives seeking to unseat Sen. Bob Bennett, R-Utah.
Remaining GOP candidates in the race include former congressional hopeful Tim Bridgewater, businesswoman Cherilyn Eagar and small businessman James Russell Williams III. Democrat Sam Granato is also running.
Shurtleff said Wednesday he does not believe any of the other current Republican candidates can beat Bennett, and says other conservatives may reach the same conclusion and enter the race. He explained why he feels others now in the race cannot beat Bennett.
"I have almost 100 percent name recognition and I have very high performance ratings. I've had (state) delegates for 10 years. And I knew if I beat him, it's by the skin of my teeth. It's tough taking on a sitting senator," he said. He added he will consider endorsing a candidate in the race in the future.
The campaign between Shurtleff and Bennett was bitter, with Bennett's campaign questioning whether Shurtleff was improperly — and perhaps illegally — using funds from his state campaign toward his Senate run. And Shurtleff complained Bennett was swamping his office with public records requests seeking dirt on him.
But Bennett on Wednesday wished Shurtleff well, saying, "Mark Shurtleff clearly has his priorities straight putting his family first. I am distressed to hear this new information about Mark's daughter and wish him and his family the very best as they work through this challenge."
Bridgewater said, "Nothing is more important than the health and safety of your family. Mark has always put his family first and he has proven that again today. Laura and I wish the Shurtleff family all the best in this difficult time, and we hope for a speedy recovery for Danielle."
Eagar also wished Shurtleff well. She said, "I have complete respect for Mr. Shurtleff's decision and for the fact that he got in early, so that the voters could get to know him."
GOP Gov. Gary Herbert also praised Shurtleff's decision, saying, "It shows Mark has his priorities straight, because it ought to be family first." He added, "The good news for Utah is we have we have a lot of good, capable qualified candidates. We lost one today but we still have a number of others out there."
Utah Democratic Party executive director Todd Taylor said Shurtleff found that his support among conservatives and Utahns in general was lacking for a number of reasons, but most certainly by his "questionable" fundraising.
"His campaign became something of a mess, that's for sure," Taylor said. "People were focusing on his campaign funders."
For example, the Deseret News wrote a story in September about how Shurtleff and his state political action committee had accepted $227,000 over the past two years from companies that have faced state investigations for Internet fraud or deceptive business practices. He was also criticized for meeting with some people facing state scrutiny.
Taylor said candidates in Utah do need to take care of how they handle money. "And this certainly shows that you have to be more careful in who you take money from than Mark Shurtleff was in his campaign funding."
Taylor said Democrats were helped over the summer in the "tit-for-tat" fights between Shurtleff and Bennett. "But in the long run I don't know if that helps, makes much difference," when the final election comes in a year.
State GOP chairman Dave Hansen said he was told several days ago that Shurtleff could be dropping out of the race. "I respect the campaign that Mark has run, and I respect that he is doing what is best for him and his family," he said.
Hansen said that the recent official entry of Bridgewater into the race likely didn't change it too much, and Shurtleff getting out probably doesn't change the anti-Bennett camp too much, either.
"Whatever opposition (to Bennett) is still out there, and Mark's leaving likely doesn't change that," Hansen said. "However, Sen. Bennett has been working hard, getting out" throughout Utah trying to fight back that opposition, he added.
Bennett's worries may be lessened with Shurtleff's withdrawal, but they don't go away.
"There could still be others who decide to get in the race," Hansen, said although he added he knows of no impending announcements.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, had made early comments that he might consider the race, but later said he is focusing instead on running for re-election to his House seat.

The performance pay saga reaches a settlement
The issue is the prorating of performance pay in relation to pre-promotion period for the year in which lawyers are promoted. If a lawyer was eligible for performance pay and was promoted during the year, the Employer, rather than pay out a prorated performance pay for the period pre-promotion, paid out nothing at all regardless of your performance rating for the year. The AJC originally filed a grievance in 2011 and in response to that grievance, TB had conceded in the context of the adjudication hearing that pre-promotion service should be recognized. Unfortunately, the adjudicator originally disregarded TB's concession in his decision of 2015, requiring the AJC to file an application for judicial review, which eventually resulted on December 22, 2016 in a remedy limited to the right to pre-promotion performance pay for the year 2010-2011. Thus, the AJC filed another policy grievance on July 27th 2016. The hearing was scheduled for October 2018. We are pleased to announce that we now have a signed Memorandum of Settlement on this matter with TB.[ ...Suite ]

With the right tricks and a little practice anyone can achieve awesome results...
MIAMI, FLORIDA (PRWEB) October 04, 2013
Ever wondered how top photographers achieve stunning HDR effects in their images, merging multiple exposures to create their final product? A new tutorial just released by the team at HDRPhotographyPro.com reveals these exact techniques, and is set to delight amateurs, hobbyists, and professionals alike.
"High dynamic range techniques are not just for us 'Photog' nerds, creating the effects are well within the grasp of the average digital artist," said Kevin Pryce, professional photographer and founder of the training website.
In a recent tutorial at: http://www.hdrphotographypro.com/bracketing-images-properly/ Mr. Pryce reveals that regardless of intended use, whether commercial, art, cityscape, landscapes, portrait or other image, image takers can use HDR techniques to improve their work with amazing effects.
In addition the website offers tutorials and guidance for photographers, including:
- The two steps for preparing a beautiful HDR shot every time
- How to identify the upper and lower exposure ranges and cleanly capture both
- How to bracket more than three shots

Lucassen, T. & Schraagen, J. M. (2013). The influence of source cues and topic familiarity on credibility evaluation. Computers in Human Behavior, 29, 1387-1392.
An important cue in the evaluation of the credibility of online information is the source from which the information comes. Earlier, it has been hypothesized that the source of information is less important when one is familiar with the topic at hand. However, no conclusive results were found to confirm this hypothesis. In this study, we re-examine the relationship between the source of information and topic familiarity. In an experiment with Wikipedia articles with and without the standard Wikipedia layout, we showed that, contrary to our expectations, familiar users have less trust in the information when they know it comes from Wikipedia than when they do not know its source. For unfamiliar users, no differences were found. Moreover, source cues only influenced trust when the credibility of the information itself was ambiguous. These results are interpreted in the 3S-model of information trust (Lucassen & Schraagen, 2011).

Sunderland are weighing up a bid for exciting French youngster Sehrou Guirassy.
The Black Cats have had the 19-year-old striker – one of the hottest prospects in France – watched recently as they look to bolster their squad ahead of the new season.
But they may have to move quick, with Tottenham Hotspur, Leeds United and French duo Lille and St Etienne also linked with the teenager.
Guirassy, who plays in Ligue 2 for Stade Laval, scored seven times in his first full season for his club, and caught the eye with some powerful performances.
The 6ft 2in forward burst into the Laval team in the 2013-14 campaign with some eye-catching cameos, but established himself as a regular in the first XI last season.
Sunderland scouts were in attendance for France Under-19s' game against DR Congo this week, in which Guirassy scored in a 2-0 win.
I would not close the door on going abroad.Sehrou Guirassy
And reports in France claim the Black Cats have contacted the player's agent about a possible transfer.
Guirassy is considered a prospect for the future, and not necessarily someone who would go straight into Dick Advocaat's first team squad.
However, Sunderland director of football Lee Congerton is looking to bolster the Under-21 set-up as well as the first team, with the club concerned at the lack of youngsters progressing from the academy.
The likes of Duncan Watmore, George Honeyman and Tom Robson were on the fringes of the squad last season without being able to make the breakthrough.
Guirassy is believed to have the pace and power to adapt to playing in England, and is open to a switch abroad, though he would prefer to continue his development in him homeland for now.
He said recently: "First, I would like to rise up the ranks in France, joining a Ligue 1 club. After that, I would not close the door on going abroad."

Seers of the Bible: Preface
Seers are individuals who receive spiritual revelation through sight. Another way to think about it is this: they perceive information from the spirit realm visually. These individuals may be godly, holy and upstanding people, or they may be creeps. They may be adults or they may be little children.
The Bible is full of people who received spiritual revelation visually: men and women; adults and children; mature and immature; Godly and godless. The supernatural encounters of the biblical record should be instructive to us in our day: we live in world not constrained by natural laws but by supernatural encounters that are hard to quantify.
Those who can see into the spirit realm – young or old, godly or godless – fit right in to reality as described from the biblical paradigm, but they don't always fit in to the modern or postmodern paradigm of Western Civilization. Hence the everyday tension for those who come searching to this site for answers about seeing into the spirit realm.
This series looks at various people in the Bible who received spiritual information visually: The Seers of the Bible.

Effective January 1, 2012, California Government Code section 12945 requires employers with five or more employees to maintain health insurance coverage, while an employee is on a pregnancy-related disability leave, at the same level and under the conditions that such coverage would have been provided if the employee had continued active employment. Such coverage must be maintained for the duration of the pregnancy-related disability leave, but not to exceed four months in a 12-month period.
Employers may recover health insurance premiums from the employee if the employee fails to return to work after the pregnancy-related disability leave expires and such failure is not (a) because the employee has taken leave separately under the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), (b) for a health condition that entitles the employee to leave under applicable law, or (c) for other circumstances beyond the employee's control.
How This New Law May Affect You
We recommend you consult with your health benefits plan administrator to ensure your plan conforms to California Government Code section 12945.
Additionally, HR and payroll administrators should revise their existing employment policies and leave forms to comply with California Government Code section 12945. New-hire training materials and employee handbooks may also need to be updated.

Famous US political journalist and commentator, Michael Kinsley, writes in the LA Times about the SR520 bridge toll that I reported on last year here (noting the congestion pricing that has since been applied), with this interesting statistic:
Since the toll was imposed, traffic on the toll bridge has dropped about 40%, while traffic on the free bridge has risen 10%. Overall traffic to and from the east side has dropped about 6%.
Of course, the main point of his article isn't about the traffic or economic implications about it, he's being philosophical about it as an example, saying it makes society less egalitarian because people can pay to avoid congestion. I'm not going to engage on that, except to say that I'm sure he's flown in premium cabins on airlines happily bypassing queues at airport check-in and boarding, and people pay for TV, pay for valet parking, pay for the best seats in theatres etc, and he doesn't seem to mind that. Indeed, the SR520 toll is to help pay for the replacement bridge.
The interesting result is that a 40% drop of traffic on one bridge (with two lanes each way) has resulted in only a 10% increase on the other bridge (with three lanes each way excluding the reversible two HOT lanes on the I-90 bridge), resulting in a 6% overall reduction in crossings. The report I blogged about last year predicted a 50% reduction.
What this demonstrates is that the toll has made more motorists think about whether driving is the correct option (I don't have figures for public transit use) or whether people consolidate trips, travelling less when faced with paying the cost of the infrastructure they use. In either case, it shows that tolling one route whilst leaving another free does not just result in a 1 for 1 diversion, it does mean that there is some trip suppression and some mode shift.
As I said before, what's particularly interesting is that congestion pricing has been introduced on the SR520 bridge. The effect of this means different patterns of behaviour change, with more mode shift and trip suppression likely at peaks than other times (and no toll overnight).
For cities considering tolls on one crossing but not another, it may be an interesting case study because the automatic concern will be gridlocking the other bridge. In this case, the other bridge also has a tolled alternative in the form of express lanes. The simple response to congestion concerns is that users of either crossing have uncongested options, and a free one. Washington State has introduced tolls on SR520 for financial reasons, but has cleverly designed it to also maximise efficient utility of the crossing as well.

I picked up the GBA Chain of Memories right before thanksgiving, in case I needed more games to survive a long holiday with the quasi-in-laws. The clerk asked if I was a fan -- I said I liked the PS2 games okay, but I wasn't really a fan.
She was kind of startled -- she said she'd never met someone who didn't either go gaga over the games or hate them [paraphrased, I don't remember exactly what she said].
Mostly, I'm now at the point where the combat has gone from interesting to grinding, and then there's a whole second round of the game to play, evidently. Both of the previous games hit that about 2/3 of the way through, and this one's no exception. And I just don't get why people are so, so fannish about it. The main three kids are sweet, and they actually do hit a lot of my storyline hot-buttons, and if I wanted a pairing, I'd probably trioship. But I just don't care that much.
Shrug. Time to beat it because my copy of Chrono Trigger (christmas present that had shipping fail) should be here shortly.

The commander of U.S. Forces Korea has warned that a conflict with North Korea could match the scale of World War II.
CNN said that General Curtis Scaparrotti made the statement while testifying before the House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday.
The report said that given the size of the forces and weaponry involved, any conflict with the North would be more akin to the Korean War and World War II.
He added that a conflict with the North would be "very complex" and probably incur high casualties.
The CNN report also noted that the U.S. military suffered 405-thousand-399 fatalities in World War II and 36-thousand-574 during the Korean War in the early 1950s while Korean casualties were in the millions.

A Londoner was pulled off a flight by armed police (Picture: Getty) A passenger on an easyJet flight apparently misread Londoner Laolu Opebiyi's Christian prayer group name on WhatsApp, 'ISI men', as being about ISIS, leading the pilot to summon armed police to the plane.
Mr Opebiyi was using WhatsApp to arrange a conference call prayer session with friends while waiting for his Amsterdam-bound flight to take off from Luton Airport. The Nigerian-born Christian told The Guardian he believes the passenger next to him assumed he was a Muslim and jumped to the conclusion that he may be a terrorist.
Mr Opebiyi was pulled off the flight by two firearms officers, questioned extensively about his faith, and forced to hand over his phone. The 40-year-old business analyst was released and finally managed to get a flight to Holland around three hours after he was originally supposed to flown. Mr Opebiyi said: "That guy doesn't know me and within two minutes he's judging me. "Even if I was a Muslim, it was pretty unfair the way I was treated. I don't think anyone, irrespective of their religion should be treated in such a way. "If we keep on giving into this kind of bigotry and irrational fear, I dare say that the terrorists will have achieved their aim." A Bedfordshire Police spokesperson commented: "Officers attended and a passenger was removed from the flight as part of the enquiries. "Officers notified easyJet that they were satisfied that there was no concern around the passenger travelling." An easyJet spokesman said: "The safety and security of its passengers and crew is our highest priority which means that if a security concern is raised we will always investigate it as a precautionary measure. "We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused to the passenger."

Here at Fison Zair Studio we have a thing about colour!
We are in our element when we see our striking colour palettes combined together with intriguing materials. Creator Katy Aston quickly learned that her love of colour dominated her design process. Whilst studying, her inspirations developed from many contradictions; cityscapes and landscapes, old and new, 2D and 3D. Combined together with a colourful and bold aesthetic these concepts continue to be brought to life through products that playfully use colour to bring joy to everyday style.
Growing up on the outskirts of Sheffield, Katy gained the best of both worlds; being in the lively industrial city but close to the beautiful open countryside. She always had a creative flair and the imagination for design, but it wasn't until she studied for a degree and masters in textile design that her passion became more focused. Print and colour became crucial to the development of her work and she developed these skills, working worldwide within the textile industry from London to Glasgow, New York to Los Angeles and Copenhagen to Japan. After gaining invaluable experience at iconic companies including Paul Smith, Timorous Beasties, Tibi and John Lewis she returned home to set up her own design studio; Fison Zair.
The studio's name is inspired by Katy's Granddads; Fison and Isaiah ('Zair' for short). Despite the exotic sounding name they were true Yorkshire folk, skilled craftsmen in Sheffield Steel Works. (Pronounced F-eye-sun Z-air in proper northern accent!) Having an inquisitive and creative yet frugal lifestyle, they utilised, treasured and repaired everyday objects. Having never had the chance to meet them, Katy likes to think of her brand Fison Zair as a continuation of their skills and legacy, only set in a colourful contemporary world. Katy currently works from her garden studio in her hometown of Sheffield.
