Chewy Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies
I've actually been holding out on you with these cookies. Not because I enjoy being witholding, but because when I made these, it was insanely hot outside and I didn't think telling you to turn on an oven and produce extra heat in your place of living would be much appreciated. Why I did just that in order to make these very cookies, I know not. It was at night and I had a baking craving and when those strike there is nothing you can do but bake it out.
So I turned on the oven and dealt with the consequences. I sweated and ate cookie dough, then I fed people cookies. In the end, I think it worked out alright.
Even so, they did not seem seasonally appropriate, and I held off. But now the leaves are turning, the air is crisper, people are wearing fashionable (and unfashionable) coats, Starbucks is serving pumpkin spice lattes - which all point to one thing: fall is here.
And so now, at long last, I bring you these gluten free oatmeal cookies, because there's just something warm and comforting about an oatmeal cookie that makes it seem best suited for chilly autumn mornings alongside a cup of coffee. And that's as poetic as I'm going to get for this post, so go make some cookies!
Chewy Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies
These cookies may surprise you with their soft, chewy texture - you'd never know they're wheat- and gluten-free!
1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, room temperature
1/2 cup packed Brown Sugar
1/4 cup White Sugar
1 Egg
1 tsp Vanilla
1 cup Oat Flour (1 heaping cup rolled oats processed into flour)
1 cup Whole Almonds processed into almond meal
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1 cup Rolled Oats
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla.
3. In a blender or a food processor, process almonds and 1 heaping cup of oats until a flour forms, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the baking soda, salt, and rolled oats.
4. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir together until well combined. The dough will be a bit sticky, so don't worry! Scoop the dough into small balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You can bake them straight away or place the pan in the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour to let the dough firm up (this will make for a chewier cookie).
5. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes, until golden brown. If you prefer crispy to chewy oatmeal cookies, leave them in for 15 minutes.
6. Let the cookies cool, and enjoy! They will keep well in a sealed airtight container for at least five days, if they last that long.

I don't know that mine are "chewy" (perhaps overbaked?) but these were indeed delicious! I added dried cherries, a dash of cinnamon and chocolate chips which ensured hubby would nom them up. Thanks so much for the recipe!

ive been gluten free for a couple weeks. after sweeting and going through with drawels adn losing 15 lbs imediately, im ready to venture out and try new recepie. im most excited about yours becase oatlmeal cookies are one of my favorite thigs. than k you,
ReplyDelete I just made these and LOVE them! I too added cinnamon and then raisens. I was so pleased that the dough tasted good. I made another recipe and the dough was soooo bad I threw them out before I baked them. I was also able to make the oatflour and almond flour with my new (birthday) food processor! Love new ways to use it, I'm such a newbie. Please keep the recipes coming! I too am a new gluten free cook and baker. Tough but making a new healthful life! Thanks again!!!
ReplyDeleteLinked to your wonderful recipe today in my gluten free secret weapon post! These are SO good with my favorite GF chocolate chips!!
http://thebaezablog.blogspot.com/2013/03/gluten-free-lunches-and-secret-weapons.htmlJust made these and I cannot stop eating them! Delicious. I didn't change a thing except to add some chocolate chips and they are the best GF recipe I have tried so far (I am one month off the wheat wagon). Thank you!
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable! I just made these and they are now my absolute favorite oatmeal cookies! My son is gluten intolerant so I'm always looking for good (and reasonably healthy) baked goods recipes. This is a winner. Even my non-gluten intolerant husband loves them.

I just wanted to thank you for this fabulous recipe! We add white chocolate chips to these and they are so good. My husband and son are gluten-eaters and these are still their favorite cookies and none of us can tell they aren't "normal" flour cookies.
ReplyDelete Great tasting and hold together much better then other oatmeal / almond flour cookies Ive tried. Added some cinn and raisins, like a tablespoon of molasses hoping they'd stay more chewy based on others opinions.. 25 minutes out of the oven and they are crispy edged and chewy yummy inside. I will remake and make sure the oven is on.. LOL I think my 2.5 yr old grandson turned it off and at the 10 minute mark when the timer beeped they were still dough and the oven was at 233... so I took the trays out and preheated again and put them back in... But for now they are going on the top 5 oatmeal cookie list
ReplyDeleteThink I could substitute earth balance buttery spread or Coconut oil for the butter to make them dairy-free?

I don't think that LE should arrest someone based off of guess work. The statements made by the A's could have been confirmed or verified if LE didn't look the other way. I don't believe it would've been too hard to do (pull up work records, cell records, etc). When investigating a missing child turned deceased child, I believe you shouldn't "guess".
If all LE "guessed" at who the suspects were and didn't investigate any other possibility, then there would be a lack of evidence. But just to make sure you have a solid case against someone you believe to be the criminal... why not just do a little more leg work? It's been 3 years before trial, lots of time for them to look down other avenues.
That's your opinion, whether I agree or not.
This is mine, whether you agree or not - when facts are the minimum and lies are the maximum, there needs to be a starting point - no one is going to raise their hand and yell 'I'm a suspect', and it's not likely the victim is going to write their murderer's name in blood (although it can happen).
If you believe there is no guesswork involved when investigating a crime, then that's what you believe. I'm of a different mind. I believe there would be many lost clues in many cases without guessing.
I will not continue to defend 'guesswork'.
Do I agree or disagree with the verdict?
To answer the thread's question, I strongly disagree with the verdict.

I completely disagree with the verdict.
I disagree with the verdict strongly. The jury should have at least found her guilty of the third count.

Not to mention, requesting to see the duct tape and heart sticker residue on that duct tape BEFORE THE TRIAL WAS OVER!!!! I know I keep asking, but why wasn't a mistrial declared? HHJBP just took this in his stride and I think it was made available to them -- someone please correct me if this is wrong.
I adamantly DISAGREE with the verdict!!!!
I do not agree with the verdict, but I have to accept it.
As for not asking one question, my guess is they pretty much had their minds made up before they began deliberating and according to a lot of lawyers, that is not uncommon. We now know that the vote was split at first, so I would think their deliberations consisted of the majority arguing to swing the vote around to a unanimous "not guilty."
Yes, they should have found her guilty of something, but it is what it is. I think they didn't understand the instructions, 26 pages is a lot to wade through, IMO.

I have to disagree based on the known facts.
CFCA lies. Her family lies. Caylee was dead with duct tape around her face.
That's enough for me to "connect the dots."Beyond the door,
There's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven.
no i do NOT agree w/ verdict,nor do i have to respect it, or accept it, at all. at very least should have gotten manslaughter or agg. child abuse...( imo should have gotten 1st degree murder, but again all moo)
to keep w/in TOS, thats all im gonna say
I Could NOT Vote or thank everyone !
I find it dispicable that any jury could exhonerate Ms KC for being responsible for precious Caylee's death..It's in...EXUSEABLE for any group of 12 to somehow hate KC's "Family" background as any sort of exuse to snuff a 2 year olds life out..bound, gag, package and DUMP her body to be muched on by critters of the swamp located less than half mile from their home....
It's it difficult for me even to try why these dozen peoples could ExHONERATE "Caylee's" momma..who by all evidence was the LAST "Caregiver" incharge of her well being..Makes me want to BARF!! I keep having re-ocurring dreams just how 12 normal people could HATE Grandparents..and Family Issues so much to EXCUSE "SNUFFING OUT" a poor baby's life..I am so sickened,,I doubt I will ever be able to what such INJUSTICE again and applaud all those that BLOCK FOrtunes to be made on the back of Caylee's Death..
Sorry, It's not just the INJUSTICE..but a "Notoriety" that breeds $$$ ..I take some respise knowing KC/ JB and any one else who benefit from this INJUSTICE will reap their rewards by a much higher power
I share C. Mason's surprise at the verdict. Surprise. Everyone was shocked, including Casey! I don't want to hear another word from this jury, Casey, the A's or Baez.
My posts are my opinion only.....

My impression of the original post on "guesswork" was kinda of like you throw a dart at a board with all the player's pictures on it... whoever it lands on gets the arrest. Maybe I was wrong in assuming that.
I can understand watching a person of interest until you get enough evidence to arrest them, etc. (Isn't that the way normal investigations go?, Joran wasn't arrested by the U.S.... right?).

Winamp 5.541 has the least cpu & ram usage, if you remove all unrequired plugins.
eg. If you remove gen_ff.dll (modern skin support) and gen_ml.dll (media library) and any other unrequired General Purpose (gen_*.dll) or Input (in_*.dll) plugins, you then end up with pretty much the same as v2.81 http://forums.winamp.com/showthread....id=199851#list http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?threadid=294204 Other than that, most old versions are available here: http://www.winampheaven.net/old.php http://www.filehippo.com/download_winamp/ http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=winamp |

A large orange or orange-yellow lacewing with a body length of 25-30 mm and a wingspan of 70-90 mm. The antennae are less than half as long as the length of the wings and are threadlike and not thickened at the tips. The wings are transparent with pale markings at the tips.
This lacewing is found in coastal eastern Australia from northern Queensland south to Victoria and Tasmania. It prefers open forests and woodlands. Adults are attracted to lights and sometimes fly inside houses. Adult males emit a pungent, musky odour when they are handled. Females lay distinctive U-shaped groups of 30 - 40 white eggs. Often eggs are laid around houses and other buildings, especially beneath overhangs. Each egg is attached to the surface by a long thread. Every alternate egg is orientated at 90 degrees to the one before. The larvae are predators living in leaf litter. They are usually covered in debris that becomes entangled among the long hairs on their backs. The inner surfaces of their jaws have a single tooth.

Quoting Acemmett90: Rhode Island. |

How much will global sea level rise this century? Well, global sea level rise began in the late 1700s, and accelerated to 1.2 inches (3 cm) per decade over the past 25 years (see my post, Sea level rise: what has happened so far). If the conditions that led to this acceleration continue, we can expect sea level will rise an additional 1.1 ft (0.34 m) by 2100 (Jevrejeva et al., 2008). At a minimum, sea level rise during the 21st century should equal that of the 20th century, about seven inches (0.6 ft, 0.18 meters). This is the lower bound given by the IPCC in its 2007 assessment, which projected sea level rise of 0.6 - 1.9 ft (0.18 - 0.59 m) by 2100. However, they cautioned in their report that due to the lack of knowledge about how melting glaciers behave, the actual sea level rise might be higher. There is a growing consensus that the 2007 IPCC sea level rise estimates are much too low.
Figure 1. Observed global sea level from tide gauges (red line, pink color is the uncertainty range) and satellite measurements (green line), with forecasts for the future. The blue colors show the range of projections for three different forecasts (the forecasts overlap, but this overlap is not shown). Image modified from U.S. EPA.
The 2007 IPCC report: too conservative?
Three major sea level rise studies published since the 2007 IPCC report have argued that the IPCC's projections of sea level rise are too conservative. A paper published in 2008 in Science by Pfeffer et al. (2008) concluded that the "most likely" range of sea level rise by 2100 is 2.6 - 6.6 ft (0.8 - 2.0 meters). Their estimates came from a detailed analysis of the processes the IPCC said were understood too poorly to model--the ice flow dynamics of glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica. For example, increased glacial flow may result when water draining from melt water lakes on the surface of the glacier to the base of the glacier, where it acts as a lubricant. The authors cautioned that "substantial uncertainties" exist in their estimates, and that the cost of building higher levees to protect against sea level rise is not trivial.
Stefan Rahmstorf of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany looked at the observed relationship between changes in sea level and global temperatures since 1900 (Rahmstorf, 2007). Rahmstorf showed that that there has been a direct relationship between sea level rise and global average temperature: 0.1 - 0.3 meters of sea level rise occurs per °C increase in global temperature. Using this relationship, Rahmstorf predicted 1.6 - 4.6 ft (0.5 - 1.4 m) of sea level rise by 2100, since the IPCC predicts that global temperatures will rise 1.4° to 5.8°C. Rahmstorf concluded, "very low sea-level rise values as reported in the 2007 IPCC report now appear rather implausible in the light of the observational data".
A similar approach was taken by Grinsted et al. (2009), but they extended the relationship between sea level and global average temperature all the way back to 200 A.D. using proxy records. They concluded that ice sheets respond more quickly to temperature changes than the computer models used in the 2007 IPCC assessment. The authors estimated that "IPCC projections of sea level rise 2090 - 2099 are underestimated by roughly a factor of three". The authors predicted that global sea level will be rising 11 mm/year by 2050--four times faster than the 20th century rise. By the last decade of this century, they forecasted that sea level will rise 3.0 - 4.3 feet (0.9 - 1.3 meters), using the IPCC's A1B "business as usual" scenario.
The long-range forecast: using paleohistory to forecast sea level rise
We can also look at times in Earth's past that had similar climate to what we expect by the year 2100. The best time to look at is probably just before the most recent ice age--the Eemian. This interglacial period 130,000 - 114,000 years ago featured temperatures near the poles that were 2°C warmer than present-day temperatures. Tree line lay about 500 miles farther north in the Canadian Arctic, and the hippopotamus ranged as far north as the Thames River in England. A similar climate is expected under some of the more moderate global warming scenarios envisioned by the IPCC. Sea level is believed to have been 4 - 6 meters (13 - 20 feet) higher than at present during the Eemian, but there is at least one unpublished study that presents evidence that global sea level was 6 - 9 meters (20 - 30 feet) higher. If the climate does warm to levels seen in the Eemian, it is widely believed that we would again see sea levels at least 4 - 6 meters higher than the present-day levels. Clearly, sea level rises of this magnitude would be ruinous to society. However, most climate change scientists believe that it would take many centuries for enough ice to melt from the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets to create sea level rises of 4 - 6 meters.
However, the scientist who is arguably the most visible and authoritative climate scientist in the world, Dr. James Hansen of NASA, stated (Hansen, 2007) "I find it almost inconceivable that business-as-usual climate change would not yield a sea level change of the order of meters on the century timescale" (IPCC business-as-usual (BAU) scenarios assume that emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases will continue to increase year after year). Hansen gave a hypothetical but potentially realistic scenario where the sea level rise due to ice sheet disintegration doubles every decade, leading to a 16 foot (5 meter) sea level increase by 2100. He noted that during the Plio-Pleistocene period 2 - 3 million years ago, CO2 levels were similar to today (350 - 450 ppm), and global temperatures were 2 - 3°C warmer, similar to what we expect by the end of the century. Yet, this Plio-Pleistocene world was "a dramatically different planet, without Arctic sea ice in the warm seasons and with a sea level 25 ± 10 m higher."
To summarize, here are some predictions of how high global sea level might rise by 2100:
0.6 ft (0.18 m): Constant linear rise, equal to 20th century rise
1.1 ft (0.34 m): Constant acceleration model (Jevrejeva et al., 2008)
0.6 - 1.9 ft (0.18 - 0.59 m): Primitive models of ice sheets (IPCC, 2007)
1.6 - 4.6 ft (0.5 - 1.4 m): Relationship between temperature and sea level rise since 1900 (Rahmstorf, 2007)
3.0 - 4.3 feet (0.9 - 1.3 m): Relationship between temperature and sea level rise since 200 A.D. (Grinsted et al., 2009)
2.6 - 6.6 ft (0.8 - 2.0 meters): Considering glacier ice flow dynamics not included by the IPCC (Pfeffer et al., 2008)
In a 2009 interview with New Scientist magazine, sea level expert Stephan Rahmstorf said, "I sense that now a majority of sea level experts would agree with me that the IPCC projections are much too low." This sentiment was echoed by glaciologist Robert Bindschadler of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, who commented, "most of my community is comfortable expecting at least a metre by the end of this century."
In forthcoming posts in this series, I'll explore how a meter (3.28 feet) of sea level rise will affect the U.S. coast, the Caribbean, and other vulnerable locations world-wide. It would be wise to begin preparing now for a potential rise in sea level of a meter this century. In particular, development near the coasts should be severely restricted in low-elevation zones. It will be very expensive to protect or move infrastructure away from rising seas later this century. However, even if the rate of sea level rise doubles every decade, those of us who are over the age of 50 will not live to see sea level rise cause a significant disruption to society. There is time for society to prepare for the rising sea.

Quoting CybrTeddy: Yeah, that and Tracy were the two that immediately came to mind. But Marco's tropical storm force winds extended out only 15 miles from the center, whereas Carlos's extend out to 35 miles. Either way, still a small storm, though Polo of last year was remarkably similar in latitude, intensity, and size to Carlos. |
Ace...what did you click on to get that graphic? |
I give this a 30% chance of being designated a TD within 12-14 days. I came to this conclusion by writing a series of numbers on a piece of paper. I then dropped a pen from an approximate height of 18 inches which consequently landed with its tip evenly between 20 and 40 *(there was no 30 designation). Since the pen was blue, and all other variables such as errant cat hairs were eliminated, I feel that this is as accurate a forecast as the 344 hour GFS model. |
Carlos is quite odd its been forming eyes all day but losing them in 15-30 minutes. Even the NHC is wondering what the deal is with this storm. |
Carlos is not as small as Marco the the BOC, Marco was the smallest tropical cyclone ever recorded. Was the size of Orlando. |
Quoting KoritheMan: Reminds me of Marco. |
Carlos is one of the smallest tropical cyclones I've seen since becoming an avid weather watcher in 2002: |
Impressive Acemmett where did you get that graphic from? |
Hey if this wave is as big as some say it may be, then maybe we will get an invest out of it in a day or two but as for now it is nothing but a patch of showers out in the ocean. |
Okay yes NOGAPS and the GFDL push Carlos towards Hawaii |
Quoting MrstormX: Very true. |
You should ask you folks to make Duffy's the local meeting place of WU members! |
If I recall there are still 2 models forecasting Carlos to brush closer with Hawaii but I could be mistaken. |
Quoting KoritheMan: Good thing you stayed. |
Quoting Acemmett90: Your not old enough to know that movie! |
Quoting SLU:At the time being, on its current pace, I don't believe it will pass north of the islands. |
Hi Ace...How many hours are we looking at with the GFS? |
Quoting KoritheMan: Ahy, but there likely was at least one cane those years also but there was no modern technology yo find them. |
Quoting KoritheMan:Wouldn't say I am one of the more knowledgable here but I thank you for the thought, I think :) I have been through storms in SFLA for over 20 years and been following closely since Andrew. Everybody will have their own input whether from direct education or "street" knowledge and since the science of predicting these these storms does not always play out, all input can, and could, be taken seriously (or with a grain, depending on if you see the glass as half full or half empty). With that being said, my opinion is that this will not develop before the islands...this is not based on 100s of models, graphs, tables or loops. As we have all seen, science does not alays play out the way the books say it will. Call it climatology, call it instinct, call it by what is seen by the naked eye, its just MY prediction. The wave is holding its own with convection within the ITCZ/moonsoon trough but it does not have the look of anything that is "on the verge" or even attempting to get any better organized. |
Taz wasn't stating there would be no hurricanes...He just said this blog would go nuts if there was no development this season. |
Quoting Acemmett90: People are always beyond nuts on here. I don't think you were around during the 2007 season, but that season invoked hell on earth on this blog. I nearly left the site because of it. Thankfully, that year, along with 2008, taught me a lot about tropical meteorology. |
Quoting plywoodstatenative: Unless they don't go into the Caribbean. |
Quoting Tazmanian: Oh, there will be a hurricane, Taz. Only 1907 and 1914 saw no hurricanes. |
Quoting Chicklit: well yeh .. it will bypass the northern islands over the weekend |
Quoting KoritheMan: Yep.....I definitely think it should be TD 5-E at 11 ET....and I think it should be forecasted to become Dolores as well. |
Quoting hunkerdown: Well what you tend to find in that part of the Atlantic every year is that before a system develops there are usually a few strong waves which pass through ahead of it to moisten the atmosphere ahead of it to make life easier for the seedling to develop. So far this year that has not happened and the atmosphere is bone dry with abundant dust haze so this wave/monsoon trough/low will have a lot of moistening to do for it to get better conditions to develop sufficient and persistent thunderstorms especially since it is expected to move WNW to almost 20n 55w. |
there will be no Hurrican this year this blog will go nuts on not haveing any storms too track |

In Reply to: Reichert 300b SE? posted by Patrick Coombes on November 15, 1999 at 08:13:05:
Hey Patrick,I've never heard this unit either and I looked at it long and hard before starting my own 300B project. Like you, I also asked around the various newsgroups and the consensus was that it was not the be-all, end-all of amps. Not only that, but 'heard that even Reichert made some changes later (none of which could I find any documentation on.) I think what you and the rest of us have succumbed to is a great piece of sales literature. It is very convinceing. That said, I imagine the Reichert amp will probably be a helluva good sounding amp. 'Just not sure that it is the pinnacle of SET design.
It's very difficult to decide on a DIY project. I ended up going for a very simple two stage with IT design with a gonzo power supply.
look at the last iteration of his 5842/300B amp.
Hey, it sounds good to me........ as good as the Reichert ??? Who knows....
Good luck,

Discontinued App
Need to calculate the ex VAT (or ex sales tax) of a total with style and speed? then this app is for you. It's super fast, you get your result in seconds, saving you valuable time. Great for those who can claim back VAT / tax on items for their business, ideal for those situations when completing expense claims forms and your receipt does not have the vat breakdown on it. Can be used in the USA to calculate the ex sales tax amount too, just use the 'Custom Rate' screen, use numerical wheels to select the tax rate and touch the 'Calculate' button, it's that simple. Now comes with three functional screens, one handling standard rate VAT while the other deals with reduced rate VAT. The third screen allows you to select a custom tax rate. Using the numerical wheels you can select a tax rate from 0% to 29.999% (three decimal places). The fourth screen is for information purposes only. For 'Standard Rate' ex VAT calculations the app defaults to the current UK rate of 20%, but what about if you are in another EU country, no problem. For 'Standard Rate' ex VAT calculations, enter your vat amount using the slider or preset rate buttons and touch the 'Save Rate' button, and your app with default to the new rate when using the 'Standard Rate' screen. The same applies if the standard VAT rate changes in the UK, just select the new value and touch the 'Save Rate' button. Please not that the 'Save Rate' option only applies to 'Standard Rate' VAT values. How To Use ----------------- (1) Enter the total amount (including vat). (2) Select a VAT / tax rate by either using one of the preset value buttons, the slider or the numerical wheels (3) Then touch 'Calculate'. Information & Details ------------------------------ * VAT can be calculated in any European country. * Can be used in any country in the world to calculate ex tax amounts, including Sales Tax. * Use the 'Custom Rate' screen to calculate the ex tax amount of any total, this includes VAT, Sales Tax or any other tax. * NEW - default VAT rate for 'Standard Rate' ex vat calculations can be saved - great for non UK users. * Standard VAT rate selectable from 15% to 25% (one decimal place) - using slider or preset value buttons. * Reduced VAT rate selectable from 2% to 9% (one decimal place) - using slider or preset value buttons. * Custom rate selectable from 0% to 29.999 (three decimal places) - using numerical wheels. * Fun and friendly user interface.

Remote Sensing of Earth's Ice Cover
Physical Geography
Director of CIRES
303-492-5087 Ekeley 305
Ph.D. University of Colorado at Boulder, 1996
My research interests are in the use of satellite and airborne remote sensing techniques, integrated with in situ observations and modeling, to understand how and why the Earth's ice cover is changing, and what those changes mean for life on Earth. In particular, my research focuses on the contributions of ice sheets and high-latitude glaciers to sea level rise and their relationship to the changing climate. Toward that end, I have been heavily involved in the development of NASA's Ice Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) and its successor, ICESat-II, and I have worked on cryospheric applications of various other satellites and aircraft instruments. Most of my research is supported by NASA, where I worked as a scientist for 12 years, before joining CIRES.
KESDA Lab is an instructional computer lab with advanced software and hardware used to teach technique (skills) courses in geography.

I joined the department in Summer, 2008, when I took over as director of what is now known as the Earth Science and Observation Center (ESOC). My research focuses on the use of remote sensing observations to understand the Earth's changing ice cover, but my interests span many aspects of Earth system science and the use of remote sensing as a tool to understand our changing Earth. In December I was selected to lead NASA's Ice Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) science definition team, which defines the mission's science objectives and requirements. ICESat-2 is a laser altimetry mission that precisely measures elevation changes of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheet to determine their contributions to sea level rise. Other research projects for which I have recently received funding include: the analysis of data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission to determine how and why the glaciers of Alaska, Canada, Patagonia and Greenland are changing, studying the behavior of melt and the movement of melt water on the Greenland ice sheet, and examining flow history of some of Greenland's more dynamic outlet glaciers.

I received my MS in Aerospace Engineering Sciences and Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Colorado in 1991 and 1996 respectively. From 1996 through 2008, I worked in various positions at NASA, ranging from a research scientist, to program manager, to head of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Cryospheric Sciences Branch. In 2008, I had the good fortune of being able to return "home" to serve as director of the Earth Science and Observation Center at CU and join the faculty of the Geography Department. I am very glad to have the opportunity to bring the experiences and perspectives that I have acquired during my tenure at NASA back to the academic environment. I believe that when students can see the practical value of what they are learning, they are more motivated and the concepts resonate more effectively. My hope is that the perspective I can bring to the classroom will enable me to provide a unique learning opportunity for the students by infusing real-world experience into the concepts I am teaching them.

The stream of speculation about who's staying and who's leaving Grey's Anatomy has been so constant and so contradictory that it's hard to keep track of what's what. The latest bit of news on that front, though, comes from an actual named source, so here goes.
Grey's actor James Pickens Jr. tells Us Weekly that Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight, who have been the focus of most of that speculation, will both be leaving the show at season's end.
"Yes, she is," Pickens said in response to a question about Heigl leaving at an NAACP Image Awards lunch over the weekend. "Wherever Katherine goes, I wish her nothing but the best."
Heigl's character, Dr. Izzie Stevens, recently found out — courtesy of her dead, not-a-ghost boyfriend, Denny (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) — that she's sick and spent much of the last episode surreptitiously trying to diagnose herself. Reports that Heigl was on her way out (or not) of the ABC have been swirling for some time, particularly after Heigl's remarks about not being given "material … to warrant an Emmy nomination" last summer.
Knight, meanwhile, has been pushed to the show's margins of late, only appearing in one or two scenes per episode. Pickens tells Us that the actor who plays George O'Malley "just wanted to pursue other career paths."
Pickens' statement on Knight's potential departure counters recent remarks by ABC boss Stephen McPherson. Speaking to reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour last month, McPherson said he expected Knight to be back next season.
Grey's Anatomy has already written off cast regular Brooke Smith this season. The show and ABC took some heat for writing off a gay character (Smith's Dr. Erica Hahn had recently begun a relationship with Sara Ramirez's Callie Torres), although McPherson said the move was made because of "the dynamic with the relationship was not working."
Grey's ends its season in May, which is presumably when we'll have definitive answers to the two actors' future on the show.

Sports Robot: Miguel Cabrera, Michael Jordan [VIDEO]
Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers (previously Florida Marlins) was arrested for a DUI and Happy Birthday Michael Jordan!
Before we get into the DUI story, let's wish Michael Jordan a Happy Birthday! Today the legendary NBA star turns 48-years-old. Ok, now let's move on from Basketball to Baseball news, shall we? Miguel Cabrera currently of the Detroit Tigers and an ex-Florida Marlin was arrested yesterday on DUI charges. Cabrera (27-years-old) was arrested on Wednesday night after a police officer spotted his car on the side of the road. When approached, Cabrera yelled that he was going to kill someone and grabbed a bottle of booze which he proceeded to drink in front of the cop…smart move.
From that point on it only got worse for Miguel Cabrera. After not following the deputies orders (resisting arrest) Cabrera was put in handcuffs and lead to the patrol car. The office on scene claims his eyes were extremely bloodshot and his speech was heavily slurred. In the end, Cabrera was hauled off to jail and released this morning on $1350 bail. BTW Cabrera, just because you are a famous sports star doesn't mean you don't have to follow the rules!
As I mentioned first, the man, the myth, the legend, Michael Jordan is celebrating his 48th birthday today. In my opinion, Jordan is and always will be the best basketball player. The man was amazing and his career is proof of that. We want to wish Michael Jordan a Happy Birthday and hope he is enjoying his life, post NBA career.
To honor the legend that is Michael Jordan, enjoy this highlight reel video:

The oddest comment in the whole article is "If Braun is truly a cheat, he will slip up again." That's implausible and/or naively devoted to karmic sensibilities. To use Goldman's analogous case, I doubt that Joe Jackson would have gone anywhere near a gambler had he been allowed to stay in baseball. I can't see Braun slipping up again, even assuming he was using PEDs.
If Adams and Bevens and Lavagetto, shouldn't Larsen be here?
I meant wild card champ, not division.
Does odds report include the possibility of the one-game playoff between Sox and Rays (thus projecting only one winner), or do the percentages represent the aggregate chance of the team either winning or tying for the division championship (allowing for two champions)?
Are any series considered great that don't go at least 6 games? The 2005 series had quite a bit of drama, with a 14-inning game, no game decided by more than 2 runs, a charismatic manager on one side and 3 HOFers on the other. The early games were plenty good enough to draw people in, but I doubt this one will stick in the memory of many baseball fans outside of Houston or Chicago. Conversely, the 1960 series must have been incredibly dull for most of the 7 games, but because of the way it ended, it remains a classic. Maybe there's a distinction to be made between how exciting a series is at the moment and how exciting it seems in retrospect. Some, of course (1991, e.g.), are both.
"indoctrinated" Chapman and left-handed talent? what does that mean?
I'm disagree that TBS, especially the voice of Buck Martinez, was critical toward the umpires. It seemed that whenever the replay (with whatever TBS calls the Fox Tracker) showed called strikes clearly outside the zone, Buck would say something like "It appears that the ball may have been outside." He chided meekly when Meals made atrocious calls on Oliver's strikeout of Crawford, but it was still a long way from outright criticism.
One more exception--Randy Johnson for Freddy Garcia, Carlos Guillen and John Halama. That's a very good return, but it's complicated by the fact that Guillen didn't become a star until he went to Detroit.
Re: Joyce quote, it's "(stuff)" the first time, "shit" the second. Then "(butt)" later. I guess the policy is only one of the 7 forbidden words per quote?
Part of Joe's argument is that Ortiz was already signed for 2007 at a substantially lower price. That's why he excludes that season.
I think the thesis of this article is "Andrew Friedman is really, really smart."
Think of how perfect and obvious a choice somebody like Larry Dierker would have been. He's seen the game from the point of view of player, manager, broadcaster and author. If I can come up with him on the spur of the moment, it shows how little thought was put into this formation.
The fact that he said "I was stupid" relates to Joe's comments about Jeter in his Unfiltered post yesterday. Even for us inveterate Yankee-haters, it's hard not to feel grudging admiration for The Captain.
What does this mean for Berkman's chances? His career is very close to Helton's, just two years later. Their slash stats aren't that different (Helton's .328/.427/.570 is just a little better than Berkman's .300/.413/.558), and I doubt that Minute Maid helped nearly as much as Coors. What are Fat Elvis's JAWS?
How does Price's projection and the overall projection change since we know that Price will not be the 5th starter now?
Can someone remind me if postseason is factored into PECOTA? I\'m wondering about Upton\'s projection of 16 HR\'s, just over double what he did in the playoffs.
Enjoyable articles on both Henderson and Raines The most shocking (and gratifying, for this Astros fan) aspect of this list is Jose Cruz at #12. I doubt many people would think of him as a better player than Rice, Simmons, Medwick, Goslin, Brock, etc. Bill James touted him as a great player in 1987 and ranked him at 29 in New Abstract. It\'s nice to see him much higher here. Cheo got a grand total of 2 votes for HOF in 1994. He\'s got to rank close to the top on the ratio of JAWS-to-BBWAA votes.
I hadn\'t heard Hamels\'s comments. That\'s a good piece of evidence in trying to decide who the rain harms more. Thanks.
I (a Rays\' fan, fwiw) am not sure that calling the game in the 6th \"was completely unfair to the Phillies,\" as Joe claims. Suppose you\'re Charlie Manuel and you\'re given this choice at the top of the 6th: a. we call it now or b. you get to pitch Hamels 1 more inning in the rain and then we call it. Don\'t you choose b? It seems that the weather was harshest on the fielders, then on the batters and then on the pitchers. IF your pitcher is throwing well, as Hamels was, it\'s to the Phillies\' advantage to get 1 inning rather than none. He\'s the least affected by the weather, given his ability to grip the ball and see his target reasonably well. If the game had stayed 2-1--and it\'s very reasonable to see that as the more likely outcome of the top of the 6th--nobody would say this is unfair to the Phillies. I think we would be more likely to see it as unfair to the Rays. Bad decisions abound, as Joe says, but the ultimate result of the tie is clouding Joe\'s judgment with regard to who got shafted.
What counts as interminable when the game already starts so late? 90 minutes? It would be pretty stupid for MLB to begin a WS game at 10 p.m., given that these games last a minimum of 3 1/2 hours. An ending time of 1:30 a.m. seems very likely right now. Infuriating to EST fans.
I agree about Beckett returning for the 5th, but Francona was only returning the favor of Maddon\'s blunder. Kazmir had no business pitching the 5th, given how badly he had done up to that point. Both managers did poorly in trying to get the magical five innings out of their starters. Both were channeling Grady Little in that inning. The big difference is Maddon\'s decision to leave Wheeler in for 3 1/3 (!) innings. If Francona had shown the same faith in stretching Papelbon out (he had only thrown 18 pitches in 1 1/3), the Sox\'s chances improve dramatically. Sending in Timlin is definitely surrender.
Couldn\'t Loney have caught that? He seemed too intent on staying on the base, and he looks left at Victorino even before comes back down. His left leg stays splayed out at a weird angle, and the ball seems to go in and out of his glove. If he had simply taken one step off the bag, I don\'t see that he misses the ball. Victorino would still have reached, and presumably it wouldn\'t have mattered, given the homer(s) that followed, but you never know.
Joe\'s column appears the same day that a writer for the St. Pete Times--John Romano--makes exactly the argument that Joe demolishes here. It\'s a very strange scolding of the home town team. http://www.tampabay.com/sports/baseball/rays/article802364.ece

This tour is perfectly designed for those who don't have a long vacation, but still want to see both Vietnam's life, history and have some relaxing time on the beach. You'll visit Ho Chi Minh City, Cu Chi Tunnels, Mekong Delta, and your vacation will end with three nights in Nha Trang - the best beach in Vietnam.
Tour Itinerary: Day 1: Ho Chi Minh City arrival (D, GP). Arriving at Tan Son Nhat airport in Ho Chi Minh City, you'll be met and driven to your hotel. You'll have time to relax after your journey before a Welcome dinner. In the evening, you'll have tickets for a performance of traditional Water Puppetry (an art form unique to northern Vietnam, and a good, light-hearted introduction to its rural culture). You'll spend the night in Ho Chi Minh City. Day 2: Ho Chi Minh City orientation - Cu Chi Tunnels 1/2 day (B, L, G). After breakfast, your guide will take you to visit the famous Cu Chi tunnels, a Byzantine maze of underground passages, chambers, rooms and booby traps used by both the Vietminh and the Viet Cong to suddenly materialise as if from nowhere, launch a lightning ambush, and vanish equally rapidly. You'll return to Ho Chi Minh City for lunch. In the afternoon, you'll visit the History Museum where there is a special exhibition of the 5th century 'Oc Eo' civilisation. The Museum of War Remnants provides a very partial, but riveting, perspective of the 'American War': not for the squeamish! The huge Ben Thanh market, one of the liveliest areas of Ho Chi Minh City, is packed with every conceivable commodity. Overnight in Ho Chi Minh City. Day 3: Ho Chi Minh City/My Tho/Ho Chi Minh City (B, L, G). After breakfast, you'll be picked up at your hotel at about eight o'clock to travel to My Tho. On arrival, you'll board a boat to cruise on the Mekong River and row through small canals and channels to Thoi Son Island. You'll disembark and walk along a small village road to visit fruit gardens, the elementary school, and the local distillery. You'll find that the daily life of Mekong villagers differ from the rest of the country's mainstream population in several ways due to their watery homeland. You'll have a chance to sample some of area's tropical fruits and watch a traditional music show. After lunch at a local restaurant on the island, you'll climb back on the boat to visit a coconut candy workshop. In the afternoon, you'll return to Ho Chi Minh City where you'll spend the night. Day 4: Ho Chi Minh City - Nha Trang (B, DP). In the morning, you'll be driven to Tan Son Nhat Airport to board your flight to Nha Trang. Overnight in Nha Trang. Day 5 & Day 6: Nha Trang free (B). Two free days in Nha Trang to spend as you wish. Overnight in Nha Trang. Day 7: Nha Trang - Ho Chi Minh City - Departure (B). You'll be taken to Cam Ranh airport to board your flight to Ho Chi Minh City in a good time to connect your international flight home. Trip ends.

Healthy People Co. announced that it is conducting a voluntary nationwide recall of the company's dietary supplements sold under the brand names Healthy People Co. specific to the following Lot Numbers:
Healthy People Co. is conducting a voluntary recall because FDA lab analysis has confirmed the presence of Sibutramine and Tadalafil, making these products unapproved new drugs.
Sibutramine is an FDA-approved drug for appetite suppressant for the treatment of obesity, making dietary supplements: Mince Belle, Everlax, Ever Slim, Ever Slim Shake Mix Dietary Supplement Strawberry, and Ever Slim Shake Mix Dietary Supplement Chocolate unapproved drugs. It is a Schedule IV controlled substance and because of the risks associated with its use, it should be taken only under the direct supervision of a qualified health care professional. Sibutramine is known to substantially increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some patients and may present a significant risk to patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, or stroke. Sibutramine has been withdrawn from the U.S. marketplace. The active drug ingredient is not listed on the label for the products listed above.
Tadalafil is an FDA-approved drug for the treatment of male Erectile Dysfunction (ED), making Perfect Men Dietary Supplement and Herbal Drink Acai-man Mangosteen Dietary Supplement unapproved drugs.
FDA advises that this poses a threat to consumers because tadalafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs such as nitroglycerin and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates. Healthy People Co. advises any customers in possession of the products listed above with matching the lot numbers to return any unused product for a full refund to the company directly.

Stone brews one with reclaimed water
"Toilet to draft" would have been a tasteless headline
Ian Anderson 5 p.m., March 23
Brittany Killgore
As the details surrounding the murder of 22-year-old local military ex-wife Brittany Killgore continue to emerge, San Diego's sex slaves are reportedly asking their masters for permission to speak out in protest against unsavory associations between themselves and Killgore's alleged killer.
"Yes, the last person seen with Killgore before her death was a Dom [Marine Louis Ray Perez] who went by the name Ivan and kept a poly house with his chief slave Dee," grants Lacey Paine, spokeswoman for Submissive Liberation As Virtual Empowerment [SLAVE], a Sub advocacy group.
"Yes, Dee wrote that she lived with two slaves of her own. And yes, the woman arrested for Killgore's murder [Jessica Lynn Lopez] shared a home with Ivan and Dee. But that doesn't mean that sex slaves are murderers. We do not deserve to be a victim of lies and innuendo anymore than Killgore deserved to be murdered."
"It's frustrating," continued Paine. "Just because I like to be humiliated in the bedroom does not mean I like to see my community trashed in the media. People tend to assume that, just because I like to be completely encased in skintight vinyl and then locked in a metal box that forces me to adopt the fetal position for hours at a time before being unpacked, stripped, strapped into a sex swing and fitted with nipple clamps as a prelude to intercourse, I'm some kind of weirdo."
"But I'm not," she protested. "I'm really quite conventional in many respects. In fact, you might say I do a lot of my thinking 'inside the box.'"
"Get it?" concluded Paine. "Inside the box?"

For your morning viewing pleasure, we bring you another beautiful video of one of the rarest views in the universe – Earth lit up from below as the International Space Station soars 220 miles above.
The video contains a series of time-lapse sequences captured by the crew of Expedition 30 aboard the ISS. It starts over the southern United States and moves toward the American West and into Canada; then you see central Europe toward the Middle East, starting at 21 seconds in. There are amazing lightning storms, rains over Africa, the southern aurora over the Indian Ocean, a setting moon – and even Comet Lovejoy makes an appearance.
The song is called "Walking in the Air," by Howard Blake, in case you're wondering.
NASA posts these videos on occasion, and although they may be similar, each is so unique that I stop what I'm doing and stare. Especially when the spangled arm of the Milky Way shows up on the horizon, serving as a reminder that our planet really is so very small.

Cake soaked in a coconut milk mixture, then topped with lemon curd, whipped topping and coconut.
Coconut = Love
Coconut soaked cake, topped with lemon curd, then whipped topping and coconut = how could you not love??
This was the dessert that I brought to my family Easter dinner. When I volunteered to bring a coconut dessert, a coconut poke cake kept popping into my head. But I wanted to take it up a notch, and since I've been obsessed with lemon curd lately, I thought that a layer of lemon curd would be the perfect addition. And I was right!!
If you have never had a poke cake before, you are in for a treat. Normally not a fan of soggy cake, it's surprising that I love poke cakes so much. And this one is really moist. So moist, in fact, that it was almost difficult to keep this piece intact to take a picture of it. But I enjoyed every. single. bite.

- 1 (16.25-oz) white cake mix
- 1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (15-oz) cream of coconut (usually found with the drink mixers)
- 2 cups lemon curd
- 1 (16-oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed (such as Cool Whip)
- 2 cups sweetened coconut
- Prepare the cake according to package directions. While still hot, poke holes through the top of the cake with a skewer.
- In a bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk and cream of coconut. Pour over the warm cake.
- When the cake has cooled, spread the lemon curd over the top of the cake. If not serving right away, refrigerate. When ready to serve, top with the Cool Whip and then sprinkle with coconut.

Modafinil, trade named Provigil, is a medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome, and shift work sleep disorder. Each of these problems is characterized by difficulty sleeping at night and excessive daytime sleepiness. Modafinil is prescribed during the day to counteract this sleepiness. The idea behind this treatment is that sleepiness that leads to napping during the day prevents a patient from being tired or sleepy enough to get good sleep at night. This study is designed to determine if the medication can "reset" participants' sleep/wake rhythm to a more normal rhythm.

EPIC Obama FAIL:Last edited Wed Jan 25, 2012, 12:36 AM - Edit history (1)
Education is critical for a democratic society.
This country needs to stop seeing education as a matter of a personal investment. It is not. Education is an investment in the country's future: for example, with an adequately educated populace, there would be no policy debate on whether global climate change is real. This country needs to adopt a policy that allows all to go to school up through the Ph.D. level at virtually no cost. This is the sort of competition that this country faces: The iEconomy
How the U.S. Lost Out on iPhone Work By CHARLES DUHIGG and KEITH BRADSHER Published: January 21, 2012 ... Another critical advantage for Apple was that China provided engineers at a scale the United States could not match. Apples executives had estimated that about 8,700 industrial engineers were needed to oversee and guide the 200,000 assembly-line workers eventually involved in manufacturing iPhones. The companys analysts had forecast it would take as long as nine months to find that many qualified engineers in the United States. In China, it took 15 days. Companies like Apple say the challenge in setting up U.S. plants is finding a technical work force, said Martin Schmidt, associate provost at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In particular, companies say they need engineers with more than high school, but not necessarily a bachelors degree. Americans at that skill level are hard to find, executives contend. Theyre good jobs, but the country doesnt have enough to feed the demand, Mr. Schmidt said. ... http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/22/business/apple-america-and-a-squeezed-middle-class.html?pagewanted=4&_r=1&ref=general&src=me Elaboration On Edit: Work-study is a time drain. It takes away from study time. If a person is committed to his or her field of study, that is all that one is in school to do. The fundamental point is that education needs to be funded so that students can get in to universities, apply themselves fully to their various fields of study, get their degrees at whatever level they can accomplish, and get out without the burden of debt. Innovation seldom occurs without freedom, and debt is the antithesis of freedom. It is possible to provide stipends that cover the cost of living to students: Germany, for example, provides money to students while they are in school to defray the cost of living. Their system while not totally free of loans (http://www.bmbf.de/en/892.php) would seem to provide an excellent example of what can be achieved, but, for whatever reason, our policies are continually misdirected. Unless someone in power (say...a president...maybe) has the vision to articulate and fight for a better policy, there will be no meaningful change. Sadly, the policy of calling for more work-study is not that far distant in spirit from turning teenage students into janitors.

6. Honestly, I don't care. The point is valid. No more student loans. We need to reward excellence, not
load them down with student debt. It's a national shift in our mindset, that talent needs to be nurtured at a national level and subsidized. That our best and brightest can dream without thinking "oh crap, I'm going to be $100k in debt by the time I'm 24"

My work study job that helped cover my expenses through college. I agree we should provide free college education, but even with free tuition students will still have expenses and a work study job helps them to pay their rent and food expenses.

Hope you get a reward for that hard work! He didn't provide you with all of the fucking answers exactly how you wanted them served, unlike every other fucking Presidents there ever was! |

11. Same here.
And he was right on. I like having a little extra money and knowing that my tuition will be largely paid off when I graduate.

12. Work study programs arenot free labor
Companies participating are pumping money into education while giving young people a glimpse of the real world.
Since we don't use apprenticeships to teach new workers, work study helps bridge that gap. |

13. Work study helps students get college educated at a lower cost so it is...bad?
"This country needs to adopt a policy that allows all to go to school up through the Ph.D. level at virtually no cost." Since more work study programs help achieve this, how is it wrong? Not sure what your problem here is. Please clarify. |

16. I would have killed for a work-study job
Instead I had to hold down two part-time jobs- one putting building trusses together, and another clerking at a hardware store.
Shitty hours that never quite worked with my school schedule, for less money than tuition deferment would have saved me via work study. |

17. Not everybody can or should go to college or graduate school.
And we already have a huge glut of Ph.D's who can't find jobs. Bad idea all around.

23. Work study is for undergraduates. Got nothing to do with producing Ph.D's And providing work study
jobs doesn't mean everyone needs to go to college. It just helps people who are already in college. Nothing wrong with that.

18. Work study as a form of financial aid is what you choose to rail about?
A lot of these engineering students here depend on work study to either help pay for tuition or supplement their living costs. We all had work-study jobs in college.
Jeebus. We all -- especially the president, who has talked about it repeatedly -- agree that the US needs to train more engineers, as in India and China. But you are really off the deep end trying to make some sort of issue of work-study aid here. |

29. do you not understand?
THERE ARE PLENTY OF TRAINED ENGINEERS IN AMERICA - employers CLAIM they cannot "FIND" any so they can turn around and hire CHEAP FUCKS in India and China. IT IS A FUCKING SCAM.

19. Work study is a great program. Many students can work in areas they are interested in related to
their course of study. For example a chemistry student works in a chemistry lab helping a professor with his research. How is this a bad thing?

22. this is nonsense.. there are plenty of skilled workers in this country at all levels.
this is just an excuse not to hire them because Chinese workers work for 50 cents a day.

26. If you read the rest of that article, it's mid-level engineers (not even degreed) that are needed...
China TRAINS people to do engineering tasks, but they don't need a traditional education. In America, engineers have to have a four year degree. What Apple needed most were mid-level engineers to watch equipment, record things, and other minor tasks.
China also built dormitories and required their workers to live on site. We can't compete with neo-slavery and countries that don't value education, but merely train robots. America isn't that kind of country and doesn't want to be. But I'll grant you that we should be producing more degreed engineers. Starts in elementary school with math and science. Excellence and interest in learning and elementary school studies require a good home life and parents that participate in their children's education, see they do homework, check on grades, spend time with their kids, make them feel worthy and qualified to make good grades, etc. But many think that a solid home life has nothing to do with anything. It all starts there, IMO. In China, you won't find many broken families. And you'll find many people who won't complain about having to "work hard," meaning work 40 hours a week, like I've heard complaints about here. |

27. sorry- I strongly disagree. Many people who deny the reality of climate change are college
educated. And many who are acutely aware of its reality haven't been to college or hold advanced degrees.
"Education" happens in and out of school. "Work-study" jobs are important, and shouldn't be looked down upon. Not everyone is cut out to be PhD level. I agree that we need to adequately fund education- but to ignore the place of 'work-study' or belittle those involved with is foolishness. |

28. Huh?
I paid my way through college on Work Study. It helped me get a job in the library administration which was a good advantage for me also. I think Work Study did more for me than taking a loan would have. It also provided good networking sources and references once I graduated. If I had just accepted the Pell Grants by themselves, those contacts wouldn't have materialized.
