ZOOM POWER FOR THE PEOPLE: REDESIGNED OLYMPUS M.ZUIKO® ED 75-300mm f4.8-6.7 II LENS
Super-Telephoto Shooting Powerfor Micro Four Thirds Users with Minimal Lens Flare
CENTER VALLEY, Pa., January 29, 2013 – Olympus makes high-performance super-telephoto shooting more accessible than ever before by introducing the affordable M.ZUIKO ED 75-300mm f4.8-6.7 II lens (35mm equivalent 150-600mm). Olympus has redesigned the lens to match the distinctive OM-D E-M5® and PEN® Micro Four Thirds® series cameras and added a new advanced ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) coating to keep scratches off, and eliminate ghosting and lens flare even in bright lights.
The M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 75-300mm 1:4.8-6.7 II telephoto lens boasts the same high focal length and first-class components as its predecessor, the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 75-300mm 1:4.8-6.7, and is capable of bringing faraway subjects like children's faces, animals and landscape features vividly to life with superb-quality close-ups. Olympus fitted a circular aperture that ensures a professional-looking bokeh with smooth and even background defocusing.
The compact size and light weight of this tiny telephoto lens make it convenient to carry. Olympus has redesigned the lens to match the distinctive OM-D E-M5 and PEN series cameras. The lens includes Olympus' near-silent MSC (Movie and Still Compatible) focusing technology to reduce the whir that can otherwise ruin movie playback on a High-Definition TV.
The M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 75-300mm 1:4.8-6.7 II benefits from the 5-axis image stabilization of the OM-D E-M5 and maximizes the performance of the Olympus PEN compact system cameras for brilliant still images and high-definition (HD) video capture.
U.S. Pricing and Availability
The Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 75-300mm f4-6.7 II Lens will be available in March, 2013.
Estimated Street Price: $549.99

MIDDLEBURY — Almost two years after Ronald and Susan Fenn filed an application to develop a gravel pit on their land off Route 116 in Middlebury, and 10 months after the Development Review Board opened hearings on the application, the body formally closed the hearing on Monday.
The DRB now must approve or deny the application within 45 days. If it fails to issue a decision the application is automatically approved.

Killer Videos of the Week - Jornet/De Gasperi duel in the Dolomites, Inside View of Timmy Olson's 2013 Win at Western States
...or you were stuck to your ultralive.net screen as Bob Shebest overcame record Tahoe heat to come within minutes of breaking the Tahoe Rim Trail 100m course record in his (18:05) win...
...perhaps you caught this video of Kilian Jornet and Marco de Gasperi duking it out (yet again!) in the Skyrunning Series, this time with a finish line sprint at the Val di Fassa in the Italian Dolomites (Emilie Forsberg also wins)...I watched this video five times already - it really captures the insanity of Skyrunning courses...
...and hopefully you've found this wonderfully intimate video of Timmy Olson's win at the 2013 Western States 100m Endurance Run, put together by his family and crew...
3 comments:
thanks for these. I didn't even know what trail running was or of it's existence. Did a tough mudder in April...fell in love with running...trails. Read Born to Run, Eat and Run, and another ebook on trail running. And I can't get enough of trail running. Excited to go to sleep so I can wake up and run. Thanks for these videos and the blogReplyDelete
Great videos, thank you :)ReplyDelete
The Dolomites video is awesome! I've always wanted to go rock climbing there, but the trail running looks pretty enticing too!ReplyDelete
I LIVE for comments! Please add your thoughts, let me know you stopped by, etc., and be thoughtful of others. Always best if you sign your name, of course.

What's the Snobbiest City in America?
Pretentiousness is alive and well in the US of A.
Travel + Leisure magazine has created a list of America's snobbiest cities.
The magazine came up with its list by looking at a slew of factors, including how people rate the attractiveness of people in town and the number of food trucks. Travel + Leisure also took into account cities that have "a reputation for aloof and smarty-pants residents, along with high-end shopping and highbrow cultural offerings like classical music and theater," as well as tech-savviness, artisanal coffeehouses, and a conspicuous eco-consciousness."
And what thriving metropolis took top honors? San Francisco, which won points for restaurants, ethnic food options and trendy shops.
Here's a look at America's 10 snobbiest cities:
1. San Francisco, California
2. New York, New York
3. Boston, Massachusetts
4. Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota
5. (tie) Santa Fe, New Mexico
5. (tie) Seattle, Washington
7. Chicago, Illinois
8. Providence, Rhode Island
9. Washington, DC
10. Charleston, South Carolina

The year is 1998. Reports of UFO sightings as tales of abductions and rumors of attacks by mysterious aliens become widespread. Nations of the world come to perceive this as a threat and they attempt to form their own forces - such as Japan's Kiryu-Kai force - to deal with the crisis, but these efforts are unsuccessful. On December 11, 1998, representatives from some of the most powerful nations in the world meet in Geneva to discuss the issue. From this meeting is born the secret defense and research organization Extraterrestrial Combat, X-COM.

A long-time reader writes about Rick Perry's position on college tuition for illegal immigrants and his claim that those who disagree with him are heartless:
Rick Perry took some serious hits in Thursday's presidential debate for his defense of the view that children brought to Texas illegally by their parents should receive the same discount on their college tuition at Texas' public universities as children who reside in Texas legally. On Friday, however, several conservatives at NRO's Corner defended Perry's position to one degree or another.
For example, Christian Schneider wrote:
By the time an undocumented child makes it from first grade to graduating high school, taxpayers have already sunk over $100,000 into that child's education. To pull the plug on those children because of the actions of their parents would be unfair, and would nullify the investment taxpayers have already made in the kid.
But I see nothing unfair about refusing to sink a second $100,000 or so into the education of people who have no right to be in the United States. And the $100,000 already invested will not be "nullified" unless one assumes these students will forget how to read, write, and cipher. A K-12 education is a huge asset in itself; it is not valuable only as a prelude to higher education.
To be sure, most people need a college education to compete for the better-paying jobs. But illegal aliens will be competing for these jobs with people who are in the United States legally. Why should they receive a discount not available to U.S. citizens who live outside the state on the diploma that will enable them to compete?
More generally, what are the limits on the benefits taxpayers must confer on those who are in the United States illegally? If they are school-age, they already receive a free K-12 education in public schools, where their presence may cause over-crowded class rooms. In addition, even without discounted tuition, they would be able to attend Texas' state universities for the same price as out-of-state students. Because a comparable private education typically would cost them more, this should be viewed as another benefit conferred by taxpayers.
Illegal immigrants are also eligible for emergency medical care through the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act. That care is often paid for by Emergency Medicaid or is written off as bad debt or charity care by the hospital. In Texas, the annual cost of unreimbursed medical care to illegal immigrants has been estimated at $8.5 billion.
Thus, my question for Governor Perry is, what other benefits, goodies, and discounts for illegal immigrants must conservatives support before he will acknowledge that they have a heart?

CIL 2010 Where Did the Time Go?
April 14, 2010 Leave a comment
Here I am on the last day of #CIL2010 wondering where did the time go? I've managed only one other blog post other than this one, I've taken several photos but haven't finished loading them on my pc let alone editing them and I haven't even begun to upload them to Flickr or Facebook? So what the heck have I been doing with all my time?
1. Commuting. Getting up at 4;30 or 5:00 so I can hopefully make it there in time for the keynote speakers takes a good chunk out of my day. Trying to coordinate Marc train and metro schedules so I'm not stuck in VA then figuring out the best time to drive down or back to Northwest Baltimore County has convinced me that I could never work in DC/VA. 3 hours or more to get somewhere, work 8 hours there and then 3 hours back home – how do these people have lives?!
2. Attending. Been trying to get in as many sessions in as possible. For some reason this year it seems like I've barely had a time between sessions to pack up my stuff and move to the next session let along blog. Thankfully I've been able to Twitter some of the sessions (wifi has been spotty at best). Several sessions I was able to Tweet the first speaker but then the wifi craps out so the second or more speakers only got notes taken which I haven't had time to transfer to this blog.
3. Networking. One of the best parts of conferences but somewhat frowned upon by the folks who pay for it , is the networking opportunities that arise. Be they table-con, lobby-con, exhibit-con, floor-con — all of these are important. Having a chance to speak the same language with someone in your field, to learn new ideas, to challenge old ones or just simply make a new friend can't be measured. Those networks associations can blossom into speaking engagements, contacts, or resources that will help you in your job. I even stayed late Tuesday night to participate in the T is for Training podcast. It was a historical episode as it was the longest one we've recorded for 90 minutes.
So I've been a busy girl just haven't had a moment to play catch up. Problem is when I get back to work I'll have to dive right back into Polaris training – here's hoping I find a moment here and there to post some more or upload pics.

Westerlund 2: Detail 1
The sparkling centerpiece of Hubble's silver anniversary tribute is Westerlund 2, a giant cluster of about 3,000 stars located 20,000 light-years away in the constellation Carina. Hubble's near-infrared imaging camera pierces through the dusty veil enshrouding the stellar nursery, giving astronomers a clear view of the dense concentration of stars in the central cluster. The 2-million-year-old giant star cluster measures about 6 to 13 light-years across and contains some of our galaxy's hottest, brightest, most massive stars.

Budgetary woe may have been the overriding theme for the arts in 2011, but 2012 saw enough completion and expansion to offer hope even in times of economic uncertainty — and plenty of change. Some of the more impressive achievements included the reopening of Green Art People, which has continued to be a haven for authentic expression and creative community; the stunning debut of the Pacific Shores Philharmonic; MB Hanrahan's heroic recovery from a broken femur; the completion of the Ventura College Performing Arts Center; Camarillo Skyway Theater's brave transformation, and Paul Lindhard's "Welcome to Ventura" sculptural gateway that was made as a memorial to a little girl who passed away in 2005.
The Museum of Ventura County bade farewell to its longtime executive director Tim Schiffer, who took a position at the Figge Art Museum in Iowa. Robin Woodworth stepped up to fill in on an interim basis. Jim Rice was named executive director of Bell Arts Factory. Ventura Music Festival appointed Ellen Pasternack to the position of executive director, and the Ojai Music Festival welcomed Abhijit (Ab) Sengupta as its new executive director after Jeffrey Haydon moved to New York to accept a position as chief executive officer of the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts. Eric Wallner, creative economy specialist for the City of Ventura, weathered many a storm with grace and flexibility during his six-year tenure as one of the city's cultural leaders but he is moving on to Virginia, where he will be the chief executive officer of the Torpedo Factory Art Center.
Personnel changes were many in 2012 but there was also no shortage of location changes. Artists Union Gallery lost its home with ocean view as the city prepares to make changes to the property. Fortunately, it was given temporary shelter at 89 S. California St., formerly the Museum of Ventura County's transitional space. Elite Theater announced plans to move from its location in Heritage Square to the former Maritime Museum space, where it will have more room and no pillars to obstruct the view. The Maritime Museum settled into its new home at the Channel Islands Harbor. Transport Theatre made a big comeback this year as it found a home at Ojai Youth Entertainers Studio (OYES), the former home of Theater 150.
Crowd funding became the method du jour for getting projects paid for this year, and there were many individual artists who were successful with their Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns, as well as others who did it the old-fashioned way. Dianne Bennett and Scott Gordon were both happy recipients of $3,000 grants from the Gerd Koch and Carole Milton Grant for Professional Visual Artists of Ventura County. Larger groups didn't do too badly either. The Ojai Music Festival received a $15,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to support its 2013 season. The Santa Paula Art Museum received a $1 million gift from Lecil "Lee" Cole to honor his wife, Jeanette, who was a docent and a great supporter of the museum. Janss Marketplace donated $10,000 to the Conejo Recreation and Park District to support local arts and teen programs.
Longevity isn't so easy to come by in the arts as funding is usually tenuous, yet Ventura County boasts an admirable number of long-standing organizations. In 2012, the Camarillo Art Center celebrated an impressive 40 years and the Carnegie Art Museum celebrated 25. The Museum of Ventura County, which is about to celebrate its 100th year, commemorated Art/Life magazine's 25th year with an exhibition and talk by publisher Joe Cardella. Regenerate Films had its 10th anniversary and Rubicon its 15th.
Of course there were lots and lots of awards. Ventura Mayor Arts Awards went to Barbara Meister, Johanna Spinks, Debbie Fox, Lorenzo DeStefano, Pam Cohen and Katrina Maksimuk. Donna Granata received a Lifetime Achievement Award in the Arts from the city of Ojai and Focus on the Masters was honored by the Ventura County Board of Supervisors. Rubicon Theatre Company received its usual host of accolades from the larger theater community, and the Four Star Alliance recognized its members for their stage achievements.
In memoriam: Douglas Malcolm Spaulding, Dorothea Grossman, gauvin, Barry Alan Berkus, Sally Davis.

A new chapter is being added to the ongoing Kochtopus saga. On March 1 the Washington Post, in a story sure to fill the airwaves for the weeks and months to come, revealed the Kochtopus is suing the Cato Institute for control of the recently deceased and former Cato Chairman William Niskanen's ownership share in the think-tank.
The Koch Empire was recently outed by DeSmogBlog as a key seed funder of the climate change denier think-tank, the Heartland Institute. Heartland's internal documents were recently leaked to DeSmogBlog (see "Heartland Exposed").
Billionaire oil baron Charles Koch is now waging war against another entity that was created with Koch seed money decades ago: the Cato Institute.
The Post explained succinctly:
At the heart of the dispute is the fate of the shares owned by Niskanen, who died in October at age 78 of complications from a stroke. The Koch brothers believe that they have the option to buy Niskanen's shares, while Cato officials believe that the shares belong to Niskanen's widow, Kathryn Washburn, according to the complaint.
Cato's Pat Michaels is a key player in the world of climate change denial, "sowing the seeds of doubt" on human-caused climate change.
That said, Cato has also stood up for key libertarian principles in the past that do not fit a partisan framework. Among them: protection of civil liberties, opposition to imperialism, opposition to the war on drugs, opposition to the militarization of domestic law enforcement agencies, and support for gay rights, to name several.
A brief overview of the key movers and shakers behind Cato's ascendancy is important to understand the rise of the Koch Empire and the split between the faux-libertarians and the true libertarians.

The town of Amherst, where the largest campus of the University of Massachusetts is located, is a small but active and growing community. The town population is 37,819, including students who consider Amherst their town of residence. Amherst is located about 90 miles (145 km) from Boston, 170 miles (270 km) from New York City, and 250 miles (400 km) from Montreal, Canada. The University campus resembles "a city within a town," with a present enrollment of about 28,000, of whom approximately 1,600 are from other countries.
Preliminary Considerations
Coming to the United States
The decision to come to the United States to study is a personal one which will undoubtedly affect your whole life. Accordingly, you must consider the drawbacks as well as the benefits of coming here. It is a heavy investment of time and of finances. You will be away from home for many years and will probably look at your homeland with quite different eyes when you return. The loneliness, hard work, frustration, and occasional anxiety you will face are, of course, shared by American students. The challenge and opportunity will reward you in many ways -when you are ready for them- academically, linguistically, financially, and emotionally. Stop and think a moment; when you know you are ready, you will find a warm welcome here.
English Language Proficiency
In addition to meeting academic and financial requirements, applicants whose native language is not English must prove their ability to speak and understand English by taking a standardized English Language Proficiency Test. The University of Massachusetts Amherst Graduate School accepts the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the International English Language Testing System (IELTS Academic), or the Pearson Test of English (PTE Academic). Official test scores must be transmitted electronically from the test agency to the University of Massachusetts Amherst Graduate School. Scores are valid for two years from anticipated date of entrance.
Estimated Expenses at the University of Massachusetts Amherst
Many applicants assume that the University of Massachusetts Amherst, because it is a public state institution, costs little to attend. This is not the case. Tuition is lower for residents of Massachusetts (U.S. citizens and permanent legal residents), but international and other non-resident students are subject to a higher tuition rate. In general, life in the United States has become expensive, complicated by recent U.S. Immigration Service decisions which make summer and part-time work away from campus unlikely for international students. You may, accordingly, have to show adequacy of funds not only for the nine-month academic year, but for the entire twelve-month year when you make application for the appropriate visa at a U.S. consulate.
Refer to the Estimate of Expenses for a specific estimate of academic year expenses. This estimate does not include such items as travel expenses to and from Amherst, winter clothing, or furniture and appliances not provided by housing facilities (residence halls rooms are furnished with bed, bureau, and desk; most apartments provide only a stove and refrigerator).
- Mandatory student health protection is required by the University; family coverage is available for an additional cost. Remember that there is no national health program in the United States and that medical costs are extremely high. Students accompanied by dependents should plan for the additional cost to meet their basic expenses, including medical coverage.
Graduate Programs
The Dean of the Graduate School in collaboration with the Graduate Council, exercises overall review and supervision of graduate programs conducted in all of the several schools and colleges and provides guidance in the development of new programs of research and study. Graduate programs are developed in accordance with the highest national professional standards within the respective fields. Inquiries concerning specific programs of study and the possibility of research or teaching assistantships should be directed to the desired program of study.
Required Materials for Admission to the University
A non-refundable $80 application fee must be submitted with the application. This fee can be paid by credit card (MasterCard or VISA only) or paid by check drawn on a U.S. bank made payable to the University of Massachusetts. AN APPLICATION IS NOT CONSIDERED UNTIL THE APPLICATION FEE IS RECEIVED.
Applicants may be considered for admission to master's or doctoral degree programs if they have attained the baccalaureate degree at an American college or university, or possess an equivalent degree. "Equivalent" means four years of university undergraduate work, preceded by at least 12 years of elementary and secondary school studies. Most international four-year degrees are recognized as being equivalent; however, the three-year Indian Bachelor of Arts, Sciences and Commerce degrees and other three-year Asian degrees are not considered equivalent.
The deadline for receipt of the Graduate School Application form for September entrance varies from December 1 to April 1, depending on desired program of study, and October 1 for those wishing to enroll in January. Refer to the desired program of study for detail, as some programs have an earlier deadline or do not admit applicants for the spring semester. Applications will not be fully considered until all required documentation (including TOEFL or IELTS) has been received. An applicant who delays may find that the respective academic department's annual admissions allocation has been filled before his or her application is completely processed. Get your application, credentials, and score reports in early!
Only the Dean of the Graduate School has authority to admit or deny admission to graduate applicants. Statements about admission, either expressed or implied (verbally or written) from any other source are not final or binding on the University of Massachusetts and will not be honored without approval from the Dean of the Graduate School. When admissibility has been determined, you will receive a formal letter from the Graduate Dean and information from the International Programs Office about the process to receive your visa documents. A master's degree program can take up to three years to complete while a doctoral program can take six years, especially in scientific fields. Applicants from international countries who apply for admission must submit the following materials to the Graduate School:
- A completed Application Form, including the following materials: personal statement, resume, and an unofficial transcript from each college/university attended.
- A $80 application fee. This fee cannot be waived or deferred.
- One official transcript from all colleges/universities attended, undergraduate and graduate, where (nine) 9 or more credits were taken are required. If they are not mailed directly from the college/university, they should be enclosed in sealed envelopes signed by the college/university. If the official transcripts and/or degree certificate(s) are not in English, notarized English language translations in duplicate must accompany them. Do not list colleges/universities where (eight) 8 or fewer credits were taken.
- Letters of recommendation (academic references) from two (2) professors or instructors who have taught you in courses in the field you are applying to here. After submission of the electronic application, we will send an email to each referee giving them instructions on how to electronically deliver the recommendation to the Graduate School. All recommendations are considered non-confidential unless the applicant waives his/her right of access.
- Scores from the following standard examinations:
- GRE (Graduate Record Examination)-General Test required by many graduate programs - (refer to Degrees and Programs Offered)
- GRE SUBJECT TEST (not a universal requirement-refer to the Programs page for those programs requiring a Subject Test)
- GMAT (Graduate Management Admissions Test)-for graduate applicants to programs in the Isenberg School of Management
- English Language Test: Either TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), or IELTS Academic (International English Language Testing System), or PTE Academic (Pearson Test of English)
The Graduate Record Examination General Test (GRE)
The Graduate Record Examination General Test is administered by the Educational Testing Service in most countries of the world. The GRE is the standardized examination used by the majority of colleges and universities in the United States to evaluate graduate applicants. There is no minimum passing score at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, but results are used, together with transcripts and letters of recommendation, to help the Graduate School and the respective departments in their evaluations. You can usually take the General Test and one Subject Test on the same day; each Test will take three to four hours. However, subject tests are only offered on certain dates throughout the year, so plan ahead.
University Funding
The University does not award student funding of any kind unless this is explicitly stated in writing by the graduate department to which the applicant has applied. Assistance in the form of a teaching or research assistantship is becoming increasingly limited. Tuition scholarships and fellowships are few and are not usually awarded during the first year of attendance, before the student has an academic performance record at the University itself. All applicants should plan on being self-financed, without recourse to part-time employment at the University, at least through the first academic year, unless they have specifically been offered some form of assistance by the department. Recommendations from the student's academic program play an important part in determining who will be awarded these waivers of tuition, and competition for the tuition scholarships is great. Those incoming graduate students who have not received any other type of financial assistance and who are interested in applying for a tuition waiver should contact their department directly. Applicants should be aware that the competition for new student tuition waivers is intense. Very few waivers are granted to new students and the few that are granted, are based only on departmental recommendations.
Graduate Assistantships and Fellowships
Graduate Assistantships
The University offers a number of teaching and research assistantships in the instructional and research programs of various departments. Stipends vary greatly. International applicants who are awarded assistantships, and who have no supplemental means of support, must make sure that the assistantship is adequate to meet their minimum financial needs, refer to Estimate of Expenses. Assistantships are awarded for a maximum of one academic year at a time. A graduate assistantship is not a scholarship, and a full assistantship requires a work contribution by the student averaging 20 hours per week, and Federal and State income taxes will be withheld from earnings.
Research Assistantships
A number of research assistantships, with no teaching duties, are available to qualified graduate students in various departments. Funds are provided by either private industry, the U.S. Government (especially in agriculture, engineering, and the sciences), or by the University itself.
Teaching Assistantships
Many departments offer teaching assistantships to qualified, enrolled graduate students. International applicants are eligible for these assistantships. Since teaching assistantships involve instruction, all incoming students who have been awarded a teaching assistantship and whose native language is not English must demonstrate oral English proficiency, either by passing the Test of Spoken English administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) before their arrival on campus at their own expense or by passing the SPEAK test upon arrival at no cost to the student. In order to pass the TSE or SPEAK test, students must score 50 or above.
University Fellowships
These Fellowships are awarded to graduate students on a very competitive basis and are intended to help superior students pursue graduate study without a work requirement and obtain a degree in the minimum possible time. They are normally awarded only after a graduate student has completed two semesters at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. A University Fellowship is for only one year. A tuition waiver accompanies a University Fellowship, and no service is required.
Obtaining a Visa
International students admitted to any American university need a "Certificate of Eligibility," issued by the admitting institution, indicating that they have been accepted as full-time degree-seeking students, that they have the required proficiency in the English language, and that there is sufficient financial support for their education. The University of Massachusetts Amherst will normally provide the international applicant with either the I-20 or DS-2019 form to enable him/her to apply for a visa with which to enter the United States. The University of Massachusetts Amherst cannot issue the 1-20 to part-time or online programs. Visa documents will not be issued until the applicant has accepted the University's offer of admission and has satisfied International Programs Office requirements for document issuance.
Travel Considerations
Amherst, the town where the University is located, is about 90 miles (145 km) from Boston and 170 miles (270 km) from New York City. The closest major airport is Bradley International Airport in Hartford, Connecticut, and while few flights go directly to Bradley from abroad, it is possible to get connecting flights from other major U.S. airports. (Bradley Airport is about 50 miles (80 km) from Amherst and does offer bus service to the University. Bus service is also available from New York and Boston.)
Limited graduate housing is available in Cashin Hall of the Sylvan Residential Area, the University's only graduate student housing for single students. Married students can apply for housing in the University-owned apartments, but there is much competition for this type of housing, and it is not always possible to obtain one of these apartments. There is no special consideration given to international students who apply for any type of university housing. All students have equal opportunity for housing, and housing assignments are made based on the date of application. In addition to University-owned housing, there are many privately owned apartment complexes in Amherst and the surrounding area. Many students choose this type of housing which, while sometimes more expensive than University housing, offers many facilities not found in campus accommodations.
Health Care and Insurance
All students who register at the University of Massachusetts Amherst must pay a basic health fee as part of their registration fees, entitling them to access low-cost service at the University Health Services. For eligible graduate students with assistantships this fee is waived. In addition, the University of Massachusetts requires that all students maintain adequate hospitalization/major medical insurance coverage. This requirement is usually met by enrollment in the University's Student Health Benefit Plan (SHBP). Complete medical coverage costs for a family plan are available and is strongly recommended as there is no national health program in this country. Visit the University Health Services website for more information and up-to-date costs.
F-1/J-1 students are allowed to work on-campus. However, immigration regulations concerning off-campus employment are strict and require authorization from the International Programs Office (IPO). For specific questions regarding any type of employment, refer to IPO's website or speak to an IPO representative.
Extracurricular and Community Affairs
Many cultural, recreational, and social activities are offered by student societies and other groups of the Five College community. The International Students Association organizes a number of activities which are helpful and enjoyable to international students. In addition, there is an active Hospitality Program which introduces interested students to local families and may be the start of many friendships. There are also special cultural and language programs for spouses of students.
Climate, Clothing, and Sports
Autumn is cool and sometimes rainy, but it is a beautiful season of colorful foliage. Overcoat weather begins in October or November, and snow usually remains on the ground through March. Overcoats, boots, and rainwear are essential. Spring is warm but unpredictable, with occasional rain, and the months of July and August are often uncomfortably hot and humid. Outdoor sports include bicycling, hiking, cross-country and downhill skiing, tennis, and swimming in nearby ponds or on-campus indoor pools.

While on a self-imposed hiatus, I sat sipping coffee near the window of my hotel room overlooking Lake Pichola and had a postcard-perfect view of the famous City Palace. The lake was possessed of a mesmerizing charm and looked stunning in the early morning light. The surrounding temples, ghats and hotels made it look more dramatic.
I was in Udaipur – the city chosen as the best in the world in a poll by Travel + Leisure magazine in 2009, where history, culture, architecture and style intersect in an unparalleled environment, and home to people from the Rajput clan whose favorite pastimes are horse-riding and polo.
Udaipur town is different, though. Crowds and sudden traffic jams were evident the moment we got there. Afternoons are warmer even when the climate is supposedly at its best in winter. But the setting sun grabs your heart with a fierce intensity and that is when the true Udaipur emerges. The historical forts and hotels look stunning in the fading evening light.
Most hotels are havelis and the walls of the hotel rooms and corridors are adorned with photographs of royal lineage. You can drink and have a candlelight dinner on the rooftops of these hotels while the surroundings can make any event memorable.
Udaipur is an ideal location to spend a couple of days without getting bored and the places can be explored by foot. The City Palace is an opulent spectacle and a feast for any camera. You can spend an entire morning in the museum drooling at the artifacts used by the erstwhile rulers of Rajasthan. The vintage car collection at Hotel Garden near the City Palace has Chevrolets, Fords, Mercedes et al and is a treat for discerning connoisseurs.
Culturally significant landmarks like the Nathdwara temple, the Jagdish temple and the Eklingji temple make Udaipur irresistible. People who have an eye for architectural grandeur can also visit the Kumbhalgarh Fort, the birthplace of the Rajput hero Maha Rana Pratap. A few kilometers away from Kumbhalgarh is the famous Haldighati arena where the Mughal emperor Akbar defeated Rana Pratap, who fled the scene and lived in oblivion but refused to accept the lordship of the Mughals, which made him the hero that he is today.
The aeons-old Ranakpur Jain temple is exquisitely carved. An authentic lunch at the Jain dharamshala would make you think that the chefs here are the best in the world.
If you have mastered the art of bargaining, you are at the right place for shopping. The moment you enter any shop, the owner and his assistants make you sit comfortably before starting to show hundreds of varieties of carpets, bedsheets, kurtas, pants, and many other materials of rich tapestry. You can also shop for exquisite antiques, postcards, jewelry and more. A word of caution – the place can burn a hole in your pocket.
One striking feature of this place is that the local people treat travelers with utmost respect and make them feel special. This desert city has many more surprises in store. It is a must for the owners of a cluttered mind. You'll return home entirely enamored.

I like this book because it was funny. It was funny because Eve kept her lunch box next to her desk and Brad put a snake in Eve's lunchbox. Eve opens her lunchbox and she saw a snake. She was screaming so loud. I liked that the pictures were real photos. My favorite part was when Brad made Matt copy everything that he did. I liked that because it was so weird that Brad wanted him to copy everything he was doing.
I think 3rd graders and 2nd graders should read this book because the book was so funny.

Ensure that document matches include...
...all of these word(s):
...and optionally include these word(s):
...but do not have these word(s):
Enter your phrase:
Enter the first few characters of a word:
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators
You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries
You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.

Discovering a life-long career in twelfth grade is not always an easy thing to do.
Most students, at this time in their lives, have not yet decided what their futures will hold. But, for students who are searching out a career in photography, one thing is certain: passion for the art is a necessity.
"When you're searching for a degree, you want to consider something you are passionate about. Especially if you want to enter the field of photography," says Tia McNair, the assistant director of recruitment for the college of Media Arts and Design at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pa. "When you come to an expensive, private art school specifically for photography, photography will be your main course of study, and you should be passionate about pursuing it," she says.
Before applying to photography schools, students should have some working knowledge of photography, such as understanding the use of a 35mm single reflex camera, McNair says. Students should take photography classes in high school, if they are available.
"We want to include those students who don't have an art program in high school as well," McNair says. "Through our application process, we allow those students to highlight anything they couldn't communicate through other parts of the application."
Students who may not meet the requirements for private art schools also can consider state schools, such as the University of Kentucky, which has a department of art design.
"Our art program offers a whole gamut of education," says Herb Goodman, chairman of the department of art design at the University of Kentucky in Richmond, Ken. "We require photography students to know the basics of shooting a camera."
"When students join our photography program, they will also be taking foundation classes, such as English and grammar, along with their photography classes, which the students can specialize in as their college career moves on," he says.
Both McNair and Goodman note that developing a portfolio of collected works is important. Most businesses and colleges require individuals to have portfolios before applying for a position or continuing an education, McNair says.
Once students have a degree in photography, many opportunities are yielded.
If a photography degree is concentrated more on the fine arts aspect of photography, McNair says students have options, including starting their own business and selling their work, teaching the fine arts of photography, or working as a lab assistant.
If a degree in commercial photography is more attractive, students can work toward a career in advertising with magazines, working with museums, or becoming photojournalists for the media.
"These fields are only a few of some of the many jobs photographers can look forward to," McNair says. "Our program offers both the fine arts and commercial aspect of photography."
Goodman says the bulk of the University of Kentucky's photography students go to work for newspapers, the U.S. postal service, studio photographers, and magazines.
The next question that may come to mind is, "How much money can I make?"
With a degree in photography, whether in the fine arts or commercial field, most starting positions pay anywhere from $28,000 to $35,000 per year, McNair says.
"Pay also depends, of course, on the type and size of business or company you work for," McNair says. "If you're working for a smaller organization, your pay will probably be smaller, but these figures are generally accurate for today's photographers."
Having a degree in photography and gaining experience as a college photographer is crucial to the job market.
Receiving hands-on work in the field during college is also a necessity to a photography degree, industry experts agree. All schools encourage students to get their hands on a camera as soon as possible.
Some schools, such as Drexel University, offer and require students to participate in internship positions for six months to prepare the students for "real-life work situations," McNair notes.
"A degree in photography will say you have a full knowledge and understanding in the field," McNair says. "Even with the experience as a college photographer, you will get a broad, strong foundation from photography in theory and hands on photography -- all of this will build a portfolio."

1. How do you pronounce SPR?Gary Brown Mar 27, 2011 1:56 PM (in response to Matthew Rawlings)
Hadn't given any thought to the pronunciation, but finding a suitable and available extension with the wide variety of applications out there can be difficult, and I am not sure 'spr' should actually be the final choice - the spr is a shorterned form of "scribble protocol".
However really the 'scribble' part is not necessarily relevant - so maybe the extension should revolve more around what it represents, i.e. a protocol.
Once we have decided on the final extension, then it probably would be a good idea to register it.
Any thoughts on a good option? Do we need to stick with the traditional three letter extension?

On May 2, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that they had confirmed the first case of Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in the United States. That patient was in Indiana— he had travelled from Riyadh via London and Chicago.
This afternoon, the CDC confirmed the second case of MERS in the U.S., this time in a Florida patient who travelled to Orlando from Jeddah, via London, Boston, and Atlanta.
The emergence of another confirmed MERS case in the U.S. is "unwelcome but not unexpected," said CDC director Tom Frieden on a press call today, adding that the risk to the general public is still "extremely low." This case is not connected to the case in Indiana, which has not led to any additional infections in the U.S.
The Florida patient travelled from Saudi Arabia on May 1, began feeling ill on the flight to London, but did not feel sick enough to seek medical care until May 8. At that time, the patient entered the emergency room at an as-yet-unidentified hospital in Orlando.
The CDC is working to contact the more than 500 people who were on those flights with the patient, although MERS has only been spread in very close contact, among people caring for a sick patient. The risk to anyone who travelled with a MERS patient is believed to be very low.
This second patient is a healthcare worker who was working at hospital in Saudi Arabia, which matches the profile of the Indiana patient. He or she lives and works in Jeddah, was in Orlando visiting family, and did not visit any theme parks.
The patient has been placed in isolation in the hospital and is doing well. The family of the patient and the healthcare workers who had contact with him or her before MERS was diagnosed have all been instructed to stay at home and to wear a mask if they have to go out. This precaution will be in place for 14 days, the incubation period for MERS.
The virus that causes MERS is related to SARS. It's less contagious but more frequently fatal, and most cases so far have been found in Saudi Arabia. Since it first emerged in humans in 2012, there have been 538 lab-confirmed cases and 145 deaths.
Dr. Anne Schuchat, the director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, noted on the press call that nobody is yet sure why there has been a notable spike in MERS cases since March 2014, but that investigations are ongoing.
"Because we are likely to have additional importations of MERS, we are asking healthcare providers to be vigilant," Schuchat said. Anyone with pneumonia or acute respiratory distress who has recently been to the Arabiana Peninsula will be tested for MERS.
While signs in airports will remind people to monitor any respiratory symptoms and customs staff have been "refreshed" on disease protocols, the CDC is not doing routine screening of people at airports or suggesting any widespread travel restrictions.
Still, Frieden added, "since there are healthcare workers travelling back and forth, we would not be surprised to see more cases." Everyone is advised to stay away from sick people and wash hands frequently.
The CDC confirmed today that they have tested more than 150 suspected cases in the U.S., out of an "abundance of caution," but that only these two — in Indiana and in Florida — have turned out to MERS.
The hospital in Orlando plans to provide more information about the Florida patient later today.

Tianjin (Chinese: 天津; pinyin: Tiānjīn; Postal map spelling: Tientsin) is the third largest city of the People's Republic of China in terms of urban population. Administratively it is one of the four municipalities that have provincial-level status, reporting directly to the central government. Also, its urban land area is the third largest in China, ranked only after Beijing and Shanghai.
Tianjin's urban area is located along the Hai He River, which connects to the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers via the Grand Canal in Tianjin. Its ports, some distance away, are located on Bohai Gulf in the Pacific Ocean. Tianjin was once home to foreign concessions in the late Qing Dynasty and early Kuomintang (KMT) era. The municipality now incorporates the coastal region of Tanggu, home to the Binhai and the Technology and Economic Developing Area (TEDA). Tianjin Municipality borders Hebei province to the north, south, and west; Chinese capital Beijing is to the northwest, and Bohai Gulf to the east.

Add tiered admins
Ease the workload of team management by delegating day-to-day functions to different admin roles
Dropbox Business tiered admins allow teams to have multiple admin roles, each with a different set of permissions. Using tiered admin roles allows teams to work more efficiently, and team admins to delegate responsibility with more granular control.
Adding new members, resetting passwords, creating activity reports--with tiered admins, team admins don't need to manage day-to-day functions, and are free to focus on more high-level tasks.
The three admin roles, and what each can do
- Team admins can set team-wide security and sharing permissions, create admins, and manage members. Only team admins can set other team members as admins or change admin roles, and there must always be at least one team admin on a Dropbox Business account.
- User management admins can address most team management tasks, including adding and removing team members, managing Groups, and viewing a team's activity feed. Any team member can be set as a user management admin.
- Support admins can manage passwords and basic account security, and create a team-member activity log. Support admins can also address common team requests, like restoring deleted files or helping team members locked out of two-step authentication. Any team member can be set as a support admin.
Adding or changing admin permissions for team members
- Sign in to the Dropbox website and open the Admin Console
- Select the Members tab
- In the Members tab, click the gear icon at the right side of each member row and then click Add Admin permissions (if the member is not yet an admin) or Change admin permissions (if the member is not yet an admin)
You can also use this same window to see which role a team member has--simply check the User Type column for member, support admin, user management admin, or team admin.
