Special Collections and Archives is pleased to announce that the first segment of the Henlee H. Barnette papers finding aid is now online! The correspondence series of the Barnette papers fills 27 boxes, and spans the years 1943-1996. It gives great insight to Dr. Barnette's life while he was a student, father, minister, professor, and social activist. Some correspondents of note include Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Olin Binkley, John Claypool, John Howard Griffin, Elton Trueblood and Millard Fuller.
Henlee Hulix Barnette was a 1940 graduate of Wake Forest College who became a professor, Baptist minister, and outspoken advocate for social change. One of the most progressive Baptists of his time, Barnette worked to advance the civil rights movement, spoke out adamantly against the Vietnam war, and spent some of his early years of ministry in one of the most dangerous areas of inner-city Louisville, living in and serving the people of the Haymarket neighborhood.
Vicki and Rebecca will continue to process the other parts of the collection, and announcements will be made when new series have been added to the finding aid. This is such a rich collection of materials that researchers will find great insight and information in this first section of correspondence, as well as additional series that are to come.

"This week I interviewed Microsoft's Chris Wilson, the Group Program Manager for IE, to address the issue of Web standards compliance and IE7. There has been controversy about this lately, sparked by a Slashdot thread last week that claimed IE7 was basically non-compliant with CSS standards. I then repeated those claims on my ZDNet blog, but I have to admit that I (and Slashdot too) missed one vital point - it was largely based on an article Paul Thurrott wrote in August 2005, so it was outdated information. Chris Wilson was naturally sensitive to all the criticism and so he vigorously defended IE's standards compliance in his blog. I hope my interview with Chris Wilson went some way to clarify Microsoft's current position on CSS and standards support for IE7. Although I personally still prefer Firefox's features, I do think it's important not to unfairly tar IE7 with the same brush as IE6."

Massachusetts, Boston Passenger Lists, 1891-1943 (FamilySearch Historical Records)

Collection Time Period
This information pertains to ships' passenger lists created from 1891 to 1943.
Record Description
Boston Passenger Lists for 1891 through 1943. Corresponds to NARA publication T843: Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at Boston, Massachusetts, 18-1891-1943.
The lists consist of large sheets of paper divided into columns and rows. Earlier lists are handwritten, while most after 1917 are typewritten. Lists after 1906 usually occupy two pages.
Passenger arrival lists known as customs manifests date back to 1820. In 1883, the federal government mandated the creation of ship manifests and in 1891, Congressional action resulted in federal immigration officials recording the immigrants' arrival. For a list of records by localities and dates currently published in this collection, select the Browse.

Information about creating source citations for FamilySearch Historical Collections is listed in the wiki article Help:How to Create Source Citations For FamilySearch Historical Records Collections.
Record Content
The content of the records varies by time period. You may find any of the following information:
- Name of immigrant
- Close relatives
- Age
- Sex
- Birthplace or last residence
- Intended destination
- Marital status
- Nationality and race
- Occupation
- Date of arrival
- Port of departure
How to Use the Record
To begin your search it is helpful to know:
- The full name of your ancestor
- The date of immigration
If you do not know this information, check the census records after 1900.
Search the Collection
From the roll number description, select the set of dates that are appropriate for your ancestor. Search the images for those years until you find your ancestors. Compare the information about those people in the list to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to find your ancestor.
Using the Information
When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. Make a photocopy of the record, or extract the genealogical information needed. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details. Add this new information to your records of each family. The information may also lead you to other records about your ancestors.
The following examples show ways you can use the information:
- Use the age listed to calculate a birthdate.
- Use the names and relationships as a basis for compiling family groups.
- Use the last residence or port of departure to find records in his or her country of origin such as emigrations, port records, or ship's manifests.
- Use the occupation to search for employment and guild records.
- Use the intended destination to search for church, census, and land records.
Tips to Keep in Mind
- Search the passenger lists to identify siblings, parents, and other relatives in the same or other generations who may have immigrated at the same time.
- If your ancestor had a common name, be sure to look at all the entries for that date before you decide which is correct.
- If your ancestor has an uncommon surname, you may want to obtain the passenger list of every person who shares your ancestor's surname if they lived in the same county or nearby. You may not know how or if they are related, but the information could lead you to more information about your own ancestors.
If you do not find the name you are looking for, try the following:
- Check for variant spellings.
- Look for an index. Records are often indexed by local historical and genealogical societies. There may also be another collection which is an index to the records.
- Search the indexes of other port cities.
Please note that when you select an image to view, sometimes the manifest includes more than one page, and when you use the "click to enlarge manifest" link, the image that appears is not always the first page of the record. You may need to click on the "previous" or "next" links to view the remaining pages of the full manifest.
Why the Record Was Created
The passenger arrival list was used by legal inspectors to question each immigrant during a legal inspection prior to the person being allowed to live in America. Only two percent of the prospective immigrants were denied entry.
Record Reliability
The information was supplied by the immigrant or a traveling companion (usually a family member). Incorrect information was occasionally given, or mistakes may have been made when the clerk guessed at the spelling of foreign names.

You know who Steve 'Zetro' Souza is. He's the highly combustible, wildly entertaining and never stationary lead singer of Exodus. Wait, what? He's back in Exodus again? Sure is. They've got a new record out now and he wants you to know all about it and how we came to be here. But don't worry, he's not abandoning Hatriot, either. Read on as we discuss these topics, horror and the ineptitude of the Oakland Raiders.
By now, you know who he is. Steve Zetro Souza, the outspoken and never shy frontman and one-man hype machine for Hatriot. Now releasing his second album with this band, we talk to Souza again about the new music, the old music, the really old music, and the Oakland Raiders
The common album cycle these days tends to run two or three years. A band composes a selection of music, rehearses it, perfects it, records it, masters it, markets it, releases it, tours on it. Probably twice. Wash, rinse, repeat.
So here we are again. Steve Souza, singer, songwriter, band leader, legend, metalhead, sports fan, father and horror aficionado extraordinaire, is back with another record. Not content to rest on the laurels of Hatriot's recent debut "Heroes of Origin," the man known as Zetro is determined to take the nearly unprecedented step of releasing two records inside a calendar year. The always outspoken and never shy Souza sat down with me again to talk about the new record, the present stage of metal, the latest Slayer developments, the rumors surrounding Dublin Death Patrol, the quandary of Hatriot, the Oakland Raiders and as ever, horror. It was, as you might imagine, a long conversation. In an interviewing first for me, Zetro started the conversation off without prompting. Read on and enjoy!
Steve 'Zetro' Souza remains one of the biggest names in the annals of thrash, a person without whom the story of the genre's rise to fame cannot be told. Most famously the singer for Exodus, Souza has also been part of several other successful bands, including most recently Dublin Death Patrol. His unique, high-speed vocal style has become his calling card, and it will ring again as he ushers forth his new band, Hatriot. The man and I sat down and talked about...well, damn near anything. Horror, music, the state of the business, concert promotion, retirement and a bunch of other stuff. Read on for an engaging conversation.

Funds got less bullish on gold (COMEX:GCG14) before prices dropped to the lowest level since 2010, leaving the metal poised for the worst annual loss in 32 years as investors dump bullion at a record pace.
Money managers reduced their net-long position by 2.8% to 32,524 futures and options in the week ended Dec. 17, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show. Short holdings climbed 1.2% to 75,199, within 6% of the record reached in July. Net-bullish holdings across 18 U.S.-traded commodities rose 8.5% to a seven-week high, led by soybeans (CBOT:SH14), natural gas (NYMEX:NGG14) and cotton (NYBOT:CTH14).
Investors pulled $38.8 billion from gold funds this year, the most in data going back through 2000, according to EPFR Global, a research company. Futures settled at a three-year low on Dec. 19 in New York, a day after the Federal Reserve cut the pace of its monthly bond purchases. Prices plunged 37% since reaching a record in September 2011, U.S. equities climbed to an all-time high and the dollar is poised for its strongest annual performance since 2008.
"Gold was probably one of the easiest shorts of all time," said Uri Landesman, the president of New York-based hedge fund Platinum Partners who helps manage about $1.3 billion of assets. "It has fallen out of favor because people felt its general security wasn't needed in this market. People wanted to take on risk this year."
More Declines
Bullion reached $1,186 an ounce on Dec. 19, within $6.60 of this year's low reached in June. Thirteen analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News expect gold to fall this week, 10 are bullish and four neutral. That's the fourth bearish outlook in five weeks.
Futures slumped 28% this year to $1,200.70 an ounce, poised for the first loss since 2000. The Standard & Poor's GSCI gauge of 24 commodities slid 1.5%, while the MSCI All-Country World index of equities jumped 18%. The Bloomberg Dollar Index, a gauge against 10 major trading partners, rose 3.5%. The Bloomberg Treasury Bond Index fell 2.9%.
Gold "is now likely to grind lower throughout 2014", Jeffrey Currie, the head of commodities research at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in New York, said in a telephone interview Dec. 19. Prices will reach $1,050 by the end of 2014, the bank said in a Nov. 20 report. Societe Generale SA and Bank of America Merrill Lynch are also forecasting more declines.

Harry Judd Wins UK's Version of 'Dancing with the Stars' — Hunk of the Day [PICTURES, VIDEO]
Let's be real, practically none of us know who Harry Judd is or what 'Strictly Come Dancing' is, but we do know 'Dancing with the Stars,' right? Well, it's real simple: 'Strictly' is the UK version of 'DWTS' and Harry Judd is the English musician who won that competition.
Why, might you ask, do we care what happens over seas?
Duh! Judd went shirtless on the cover of Attitude magazine shortly after winning, and is pegged as the publication's Sexiest Man of the Year. Judd is better known in the UK as the drummer of the pop group McFly, and — seriously — everyone loves a guy who can play the drums.

After a morning practice marked by incomplete passes and two Kevin Kolb interceptions, coach Andy Reid said the team's offense needs to improve.
"From the offensive standpoint, we've got to do a better job," Reid said after the morning session. "We're going to keep doing that, keep getting better as we go."
He had just come from a practice where defenders were frequently barging into the backfield and the passing game was so disrupted that at one point a fan shouted out "let's see a completion!"
The practice follows a recent trend that has seen the defense outplaying the offense. Kolb had looked sharp early in camp, but in recent days has had trouble connecting with receivers. Today Quintin Mikell and Dimitri Patterson each picked off Kolb in the morning, and the defense also got the better of several red zone drills.
"The positive, I think, is the defense is playing well," Reid said. "That's a positive. Everyone on the offensive side, we need to get better. We continue to push through this and normally what you see is offenses come together a little bit later than defenses, if you do have a good defense."
It's the middle of a long camp, and the offense seems to be in a bit of a lull.
It was supposed to be the other way around. The offense, with weapons like DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, Brent Celek and LeSean McCoy, was supposed to be more of a sure thing, even with a new starter at quarterback. The rebuilt defense, meanwhile, entered training camp with many new faces, some of them very young.
Instead, the offense has struggled behind a juggled offensive line missing two starters, Jamaal Jackson and Todd Herremans.
"You can't have the interceptions, you can't have the sacks, the quarterback's running around way too much with the pressure he's getting right there, so we've got to take care of that," Reid said. "When they're running the football they're getting big yards there, so we've just go to get the throwing part of it down."
The defense, meanwhile, has seemed to come together quickly, with help from Ernie Sims' aggressiveness, Stewart Bradley's return, Nate Allen's quick learning at safety and a boosted pass rush from Brandon Graham and the seemingly rejuvenated Trevor Laws.
Kevin Kolb downplayed any struggles, acknowledging that the Eagles' Flight Night practice was a disappointment, but saying he felt sharp at the start of the morning. He said the offense is getting more complex, with more plays added at this point in camp, and that the defense has become familiar with what the offense is doing.
"Besides some mental errors on some guys parts" -- including himself, Kolb said - "I think we had a pretty good practice ... Now, we've got to keep getting better and working these different situations that are coming our way.
Reid is looking forward to the upcoming pre-season game against Jacksonville, where he can better measure whether his team's recent practice play is more a reflection of a strong defense, or a sputtering offense.
Practice Notes:
-- Mike McGlynn worked with the first team at center for most of practice. Nick Cole started the practice, but left with knee soreness, Reid said. He said Cole is still the team's number one center, in place of Jamaal Jackson.
-- A.Q. Shipley (ankle) and Mike Bell (hamstring) also participated in the early part of practice before working out on the sideline. Jeremy Maclin (bone bruise), Antonio Dixon (concussion), J.J. Arrington (foot strain) and Macho Harris (hamstring) all sat out. Ricky Sapp left practice with swelling in his knee. Asante Samuel is still out as well.
Practice Observations
The offense had some highlights.
LeSean McCoy lined up in the shotgun for a few plays, with Kevin Kolb split out at wide receiver, perhaps finding another way to get the ball into "Shady's" hands. McCoy was also too agile for the linebackers during one-on-one passing and receiving drills.
-- Also in that drill, which matched running backs and tight ends against safeties and linebackers: Clay Harbor beat Moise Fokou deep, but was out-physicaled on a short route by Akeem Jordan. Leonard Weaver was getting open at will, and Brent Celek twisted up Quintin Mikell for a long reception.
-- Kolb did hit Jason Avant for a red zone touchdown in seven-on-seven drills.
-- Cornelius Ingram got a lot of work blocking in two tight end sets, going up against defense ends on some plays, with mixed results.
-- Reid praised his corner backs. Ellis Hobbs, Patterson and Joselio Hanson have taken many of the snaps as the team has frequently worked on its nickel package in recent practices. "We've got some corners now that are showing up, and we need that," he said. A tweak to Samuel, perhaps?
-- Michael Vick continues to feel love from fans. A group cheered him off the field as he walked back from an autograph signing session. He pumped his fist in a circle as they clapped and called his name.

Playhouse Color
At first I thought about doing something with candy color stripes (ala Kate Spade's floors) but something stuck in my mind about black, white and green - modern but still fun. I can't wait to get started.
I'm sure being the type of person who not only concerns herself with such trivial things as a playhouse color scheme but also physically puts one down on paper probably says a lot about some sort of deep rooted psychological issue. I may be crazy but at least I know it!
Who cares? Its going to have an emerald green door! (I'm still not decided on my own front door which should probably be a higher priority this is my version of procrastination!)

Love it! And, for what it's worth, I don't think that is crazy at all! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
That just means you are just as crazy as me :)Delete
Great color scheme-- maybe painting the play house will help you decide what color for your own door. We're all a little crazy in our own special ways lolReplyDeleteReplies
Very true!Delete

I'm tempted but I have a mostly glass front door so I dont think it will have the same punch as a solid emerald door. But its definitely on the maybe list.Delete
The color for your door will probably strike you midway through painting the floor :)ReplyDelete
Love! What about a kelley green door with some brass accents?! Maybe a letter slot and a door knocker? You really shouldn't evolve me though because you might end up with a fireplace and loft :pReplyDeleteReplies
I can't quite picture what theinside will feel like so I haven't made any plans in there just yet. But a faux fireplace sounds like a good idea ;)Delete

LAFAYETTE — Police on Sunday arrested an 18-year-old Lafayette man in the early morning shooting and killing of one teenager and wounding of two teens accused of breaking into his truck.
Seth Fontenot, 132 Green Meadow Road, was booked into Lafayette Parish Correctional Center on one count of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder, said Lafayette police spokesman Cpl. Paul Mouton.
Police arrested Fontenot before noon, booking records show.
Police have not released the name of the teen who died or other details in the shootings, but may do so Monday, Mouton said. The teen who died was a passenger and the driver and the other passenger are listed in stable condition, he said.
Investigators say the victims were riding in a pickup in the Bellevue Plantation subdivision, on Johnston Street south of the Mall of Acadiana, when Fontenot fired three shots at the truck, Mouton said.
Police had previously identified the area as the Canberra subdivision.
The driver of the pickup sped away and took the passengers to Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center on Ambassador Caffery Parkway by Verot School Road, Mouton said.
Hospital officials called police at 2:15 a.m. to report three 15-year-old boys with gunshot wounds had arrived in the emergency room, Mouton said.
Mouton could not say why the boys were out at 2 a.m., saying the investigation is ongoing. He said he was unaware of any connection between Fontenot and the teenagers.
The shooting occurred in the 100 block of Green Meadow Road at 1:45 a.m., when Fontenot encountered the victims outside his residence, Mouton said.
Fontenot's sister, Kailey, said her brother caught the boys breaking into his truck.
"That's why gunshots were fired is because somebody was on his property inside his truck," Kailey Fontenot said. "He didn't shoot someone just to shoot someone."
Kailey Fontenot said her brother told her he intended to shoot a tire so he could retrieve his keys, catch up to the boys in his truck and find out why people have been breaking into it.
She said her brother's truck has been broken into four times in the past six months and their mother's purse was stolen when someone broke into her sport utility vehicle about three months ago.
The family has filed police reports for the break-ins, but never heard back from police about the previous break-ins, Kailey Fontenot said.
Late Sunday, Mouton said he could not access the files that contain the reports Fontenot mentioned.
Fontenot said she also called police about Sunday's break-in, but did not hear back from them until Sunday morning, when they arrived at her house to investigate the shooting.
"If he would have known they were innocent children just acting out because they're young, he would never, he would never try to harm anyone," she said.
"It's 2 in the morning and it was dark, but you see dark shadows in your truck and whenever you go outside and you're yelling at them to leave, they jump in the truck and you don't know how old they are," Fontenot said. She said she thinks the boys live in the neighborhood, but her family has not been told their names.
Police officers went to Seth's job, Another Broken Egg restaurant in River Ranch, where they questioned him and ultimately arrested him, Kailey Fontenot said.
She said the family spoke to her brother briefly, and the boy's death is weighing heavily on him.
"I mean he's hurting and he knows he's going to have to live with this for the rest of his life," Kailey Fontenot said.
While her brother sits in jail, she said she wants someone to tell her why those 15-year-old boys were driving a truck around at 2 a.m. "I'm sorry. My heart is very heavy for someone that lost their kids, but where were the parents at?" Kailey Fontenot said. "They're under 15 years old driving a truck. I'm just concerned because my brother is facing very big charges for something that shouldn't have happened."

Shows you how much power Snyder is hopefully gaining over at DC. Batman sales would be nowhere near where they are right now if another one of Jim Lee and Bob Harras's buddies were handling the writing duties.

Snyder really has made a great recovery after being fired from the flagship Detective Comics.

Rumor has it Scott Snyder lackey James Tynion IV Esquire will take over Red Hood and the Outlaws with issue #18.
Source: Bleeding Cool
Bad news for the dozens of fans of Scott Lobdell's Red Hood and the Outlaws. The writer is rumored to be done with the book, being replaced by James Tynion IV with issue #18, presumably thanks to the influence of Scott Snyder, the sixth most powerful man at DC Comics and Tynion's biggest supporter, at least according to one industry insider who never gets these things wrong. The questionably necessary book, categorized by DC as part of the Bat Family but really more of a Teen Titans Xtreme, was attacked by nosy feminists from its launch because, for some reason, people found the notion of a bikini-clad Starfire fucking everything with a pulse somewhat objectionable.
"I'm not sure why people were so upset," said Lobdell in an interview that took place in our imagination. "All I wanted to do was tell stories that would leave a permanent mark on the characters. Look at what Jim Shooter did to Hank Pym. No one can look at the character without thinking, 'wife-beater.' Now no one will ever see ol' Kinky Kori without thinking about what a shameless skank she is. I've accomplished my mission."
Lobdell then wiped his ass with an issue of Marv Wolfman and George Perez's seminal Teen Titans run.
We also held an imaginary conversation with DC head honcho Dan Didio, who responded with a question of his own. "You need an explanation for why we replaced Lobdell on Red Hood and the Outlaws?" the mustachioed villain asked us. "Really?"
We then spoke fictitiously with another DC exec, Geoff Johns, who we found in his office with the lights dimmed, playing with an Aquaman action figure. "I had nothing to do with this," Johns told us sincerely. "But I'm not going to pretend I'm not relieved. Lobdell was writing almost as many books as me. We can't have that, can we."
We also attempted to speak to the final member of DC's unholy executive trinity, Jim Lee, but the artist wasn't in his office, and all we found after sweeping away the cobwebs was a note that read, "Off to work on more important stuff like video games. Be back in 2015."
Tynion is currently the writer of DC's Talon, so even if all 37 readers of Red Hood drop the book in protest, so long as Tynion can bring his own 43 fans over from Talon, the book will actually come out ahead.
This reporter enjoyed Lobdell's work on Superboy and continues to enjoy his work on Teen Titans and Superman, but found Red Hood to be a little bit juvenile for my tastes, which, coming from me, is really saying something. As far as we know, Lobdell will continue on Superman and Titans, unless Snyder decides to crush him completely with his growing influence.
Keep in mind that this story comes from Rich Johnston, who has been under constant attack from internet pundits and message board posters for the past two weeks, so, because we enjoy kicking a man when he's down, we'd just like to remind you that this may just be a false rumor and that Johnston is a big, fat jerk.
Written or Contributed by Jude Terror
by GHERU » Tue Jan 01, 2013 7:00 pmso, besides unfounded lies from a known liar, is there anything out there that says Synder had anything to do with this?
by Draco x » Tue Jan 01, 2013 7:09 pmI love these posts from Loltron. A good way to start the new year with something like this to make me roll over with laughter.
by fieldy snuts » Tue Jan 01, 2013 7:31 pmI'd take the word of this one industry insider who never gets these things wrong over anyone.
by MoneyMelon » Tue Jan 01, 2013 7:32 pmI like Talon so I'm sort of interested but I really find Red Hood to be a dull character so I'll probably end up passing.
by Lord Ice » Tue Jan 01, 2013 8:13 pmGuess this would be the consolation prize for failing to get Gail Simone off Batgirl.
by avengingtitan » Wed Jan 02, 2013 1:20 amAlmost anyone is better then Lobdell. Now if we can get him off Teen Titans, Superman, and Superboy and back into being unemployed.
by Eric Ratcliffe » Wed Jan 02, 2013 4:49 am

To request a radioactive waste pickup you must submit a radioactive waste ticket to the Department of Environmental Health and Safety. You can obtain the waste tickets either by picking them up from Radiation Safety in 800 Forchheimer or you can request we mail them to you by calling x2243 or by completing the on-line form.
It is important to complete the ticket in full to prevent delays in the pickup of your waste. Of particular importance is the Principal Investigators name, the grant number to be charged for the pickup, the location of the waste, the radioisotope and amount of activity. The ticket consists of two carbonless pages. The top copy (white) is either mailed or faxed to Radiation Safety, while the other copy (yellow) is attached to the waste container. You should use one waste ticket per container of waste.
When Radiation Safety receives the waste ticket it will be reviewed for completeness. If everything is in order, the waste will be picked up within 10 working days of receipt of the ticket. In the case of the white 5 or 10 gallon waste containers an empty container will be left in place of the full container.
This Department provides a variety of sizes for waste containers including a 2.5, 5 and 10 gal container. In addition, we also supply decay storage service for those Authorized Users who do not have the room to decay their radioactive waste. If you want this Department to decay your radioactive waste complete a waste ticket and forward it to this Department. It is strongly recommended that you do not store large amounts of radioactive waste in your laboratory. If you do store waste in your laboratory, P-32 waste should be placed in a Plexiglas waste container or behind plexiglass shields, while large quantities of Cr-51 and I-125 should be placed behind lead shielding.
Dry solid radioactive waste should be segregated according to whether it is a long lived or short lived radioisotope. For example tritium and C-14 should be placed in separate waste containers from P-32, S-35, Cr-51 and I-125. In addition, P-32, S-35, Cr-51 and I-125 should be placed in separate containers for decay. This way you can dispose of P-32 in only 6 months while you must wait 3 years before disposing of S-35. Once decayed, waste must be surveyed by a representative from the Department of Environmental Health and Safety before disposal. To request decayed waste be surveyed and disposed of, you must complete a waste ticket and forward to this Department.
Liquid scintillation vials should be stored in a container separate from dry solid waste. In addition, while it is not absolutely necessary, you can save money on disposal of liquid scintillation vials by separating tritium and C-14 from all other radioisotopes. The tritium and C-14 go into a deregulated 30 or 55 gal waste drum while the other radioisotopes go into a regulated or standard 30 or 55 gal waste drum.
Only dump liquid scintillation vial down the sink if you know that the scintillation fluid is a biodegradable cocktail not containing xylene or toluene. Otherwise it must be disposed of in a drum for liquid scintillation vials. If in doubt contact the Department of Environmental Health and Safety.
Liquid radioactive waste can be disposed of down the sink according to the limits set forth in the Radiation Safety Training Manual. If the activity of liquid waste is too large you can collect the waste and place it a container and request this Department pick it up. For small quantities of liquid you can absorb it on an absorbent pad and place it in the dry solid waste.

Graduate Certificate in Translation
The TRIP Certificate in translation is a graduate program that provides students with practical training and introduces them to the formal study of translation. It may be taken as a separate track or in conjunction with other BU master's degree programs such as those of Comparative Literature (Plan C), Romance Languages, English, Human Development, as well as the doctoral programs of Comparative Literature and PIC (Philosophy, Interpretation, and Culture).
Languages Offered
TRIP has been able to offer translation practice from Spanish and French on a regular basis. Depending on need and availability, translation instruction involving other source languages (Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Portuguese, German, Korean, and Russian) may be offered. Those interested in languages other than Spanish and French are advised to contact the TRIP Co-directors to check whether instruction is available in a given semester.
Admission Requirements
Students are expected to have an adequate written command of English, into which they will generally be required to translate, as well as a near-native command of a second language, which will generally be their source language.
Students who have not had any experience with translation are advised to take one semester of the translation workshop (see below) before formally applying to the program. After the first semester, the TRIP director will evaluate students' performance and advise students either to apply or improve their language skills before they pursue the Certificate.
Those pursuing the Translation Certificate must formally apply through the Graduate School Admissions and follow its standard matriculation procedures.
Course Requirements
- Literary or Non-Literary Translation Workshop (TRIP 572 or 573, 2 semesters, 4 credits each)
Depending on their performance, students may be advised to take one or two additional semesters of the Workshop.
- One graduate course in Translation Studies: either Introduction to Translation Studies (TRIP 580A, 4 credits), or Introduction to Computer-Assisted Translation (TRIP 580D, 4 credits). Whenever possible, students are advised to take both.
- One graduate course involving the history or culture of their source language (4 credits).
Total number of credits: 16
Students interested in certification in more than one language combination, i.e. Spanish>English and German>English, are required to take at least one more semester of the translation workshop in order to practice translating from the second source language of their choice, in addition to a graduate course involving the history or culture of this same language.
In order to sit for the Certificate examination, students must obtain a grade of B or higher in all of these courses.
After successfully concluding the required credits, students may request to take the examination, which is offered at the end of the fall and spring semesters. In consultation with appropriate faculty, TRIP director establish each student's examination committee. The examination includes sections on both theory and practice.
For the examination in translation practice, which is an in-house test, students can choose the genre (literary or non-literary) and the language combination involved. They may have two dictionaries and use of a computer. To pass this examination students are expected to show that they can translate at a professional level, which means that they can produce publishable translations without faculty supervision.
The theory examination is a 72-hour take home examination, and students can choose to answer questions either on translation theory or computer-assisted translation tools. It also includes a question on copyright issues pertaining to translation.
In order to pass, students must obtain a grade of A- or higher on each section. Each section of the examination may be taken twice.

Fly fishermen may be guilty of killing their own sport. A rotten stench of snobbery is running through the fly-fishing community.
No one else has the arrogance to make up new names for things, as in calling a bobber a "strike indicator" or saying the knots in leaders are "wind knots" when they are a result of bad casting. It's an oddity that can be humorous.

Getting , please wait.
|An architect recovering from a serious automobile accident tries to regain the memory that he has lost. As he begins to put together the pieces of his life, some parts of the puzzle don't quite fit. For example, he recalls his now loving wife's affair as well as his own. He remembers that he hired a private detective to follow his wife and shockingly, he remembers that he once believed his wife had planned to kill him. Are these memories the real thing, or are they all part of some mad, recuperative nightmare? Who knows.

New Canadiens coach Michel Therrien raring to start NHL season
Montreal Canadiens coach Michel Therrien feels like a "lion in a cage" as he awaits a resolution to the NHL lockout.
He said Wednesday everything was in place for training camp, which was to have started this weekend but has been postponed because of the impasse in negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement.
Therrien, heading into his first season with the Habs, said he took time to meet with all the players who came to Montreal in advance of the lockout last Saturday night. He said it was his first contact with numerous players.
"I am glad that Carey Price is back in Montreal," Therrien said of the team's star goalie. "I had the opportunity to talk to him a few times (on the phone) in the summer, but it is not the same as having the chance to finally sit down with him, it is not the same kind of conversation.
"He is in great form. He is in the best physical condition that has never been."
Therrien said he wasn't bothered by players electing to play in Europe during the lockout.
"It is up to them, but I told (Brian) Gionta to play his role as captain and to ensure that players remain in excellent physical condition," Therrien said. "They must not lose the momentum they gained during the summer so we can start on the right foot."

Anne McTiernan, M.D., Ph.D., presented the cancer subcommittee
work. The subcommittee focused on 2 areas: Physical activity effect on cancer
risk and the role of physical activity in cancer survivorship. The goals of the
subcommittee included:
Determine evidence of dose-response of physical activity and
Identify subgroups of individuals that may differ on physical
activity effect on cancer risk.
Review independent and combined effects of overweight/obesity
and physical activity on cancer risk.
Identify mechanisms that may explain links between physical
activity and cancer risk, to help determine validity of associations, and to
help with guidance on exercise prescriptions.
The data that was reviewed focused on cancer risk by specific
cancer subtypes. Most of the data is on breast and colorectal cancer. From the
studies the following risk reductions to cancer associated with physical
activity were extrapolated:
Breast cancer — 20 – 80% risk reduction
Colon cancer — 30% risk reduction
Edometrium cancer — 30% risk reduction
Lung cancer — 20 – 24% risk reduction
Prostate cancer — no effect
Ovary cancer — 19% risk reduction
Other cancers — insufficient evidence
The data also suggests there are no clear subgroups that differ from overall
physical activity cancer associations. Physical activity also reduces cancer
risk independent of weight control, but optimal effect may be seen with optimal
weight maintenance. Additionally, there is no clear dose cut-off for physical
activity effect across different cancer types.
There is a dose-response effect between physical activity and colon and breast
cancer, showing 30 – 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity per day reduces
risk. In other cancers there is insufficient evidence to support any
conclusions. Regular aerobic exercise is associated with reduced risk for
several cancers. Benefits are seen with moderate intensity exercise; however,
greater benefit can be seen with greater volume and intensity. The benefit is
also seen across age and avoiding lifetime weight gain will likely optimize
Additional questions that current data cannot sufficiently answer include the
effects of specific activities, the optimal dose(s) of the activity and the
optimal time of life for benefits.
Addressing the issue of the effects of physical activity on cancer survivors,
Dr. McTiernan noted that there are over 10 million U.S. cancer survivors with
length of survival increasing. Cancer survivors face long-term effects of their
cancer, treatments, and risk for future cancer and other chronic disease. The
evidence of benefit varies from preliminary to moderate to strong in different
cancer types in different domains.
There are several plausible mechanisms in this area. Human trials support the
effect of exercise on improving risk factors/biomarkers for cancer among adipose
tissue and cytokines, sex hormones, insulin and insulin resistance, and
inflammation. The greatest effect in serum biomarkers is seen with reduction in
body fat.
The American Cancer Society issues the following
Reducing cancer risk in adults
Moderate-vigorous activity for at least 30 minutes per day, per week; however,
45 – 60 minutes per day is preferable.
Reducing cancer risks in children
Moderate-vigorous activity for at least 60 minutes or more per day, per week.
Reducing cancer risks in patients and survivors
When on treatment, physical activity is likely helpful; however reduced
intensity may be needed.
When off treatment one can participate in activity as one would when in
prevention mode.
Regarding future research needs more information is needed on the associations
of physical activity with less well-studied cancers as well as in minority
populations. Additional information is also needed on the effects of specific
types of activity as well as different intensity, duration and frequency of
activity. Future research should focus on long-term observational follow-up of
survivors. There is not enough data to comment on the dose-response effect of
physical activity on recurrence and mortality as well as effect on early late
stages of cancer. More studies are needed on the effects of physical activity on
specific cancer treatments.
The subcommittee can conclude that 30 – 60 minutes per day of moderate-to-vigorous
endurance exercise reduces the risk for colon and breast cancers. There is
insufficient data to give clear dose recommendations for other cancers. Exercise
programs improve quality of life and fitness in cancer survivors.

All HELOCs begin with a set draw period during which you can make advances or pay them back only paying interest on what you use. Following the draw period, your HELOC will go into a repayment period when whatever is outstanding will be paid back in principal and interest payments in the term you select with your HELOC. Finally, we offer both fixed rates and variable rates of interest. We'll work with you to help you decide the best fit for your individual situation. Benefit Home Equity Flex Apply Fixed rate line of credit Draw on the line up to three years Ten year repayment period thereafter The flexibility of a line of credit with the shorter term of a more traditional loan, the Flex Equity is designed to help you get a few things done and pay them off. Add to that a fixed rate that will never increase and you have a powerful tool to help you take care of business. Benefit Home Equity Fixed Apply Fixed rate line of credit Draw on the line up to seven years Fifteen year repayment period thereafter A twist on the traditional HELOC, the Benefit Fixed offers a fixed rate that will never increase; not during the 7 year draw period and not during the 15 year repayment; a 22 year fixed rate solution.

United we stand say the NZ
An official press release from the NZ Warriors has stated there is no major problems in the Warriors camp.
Vodafone Warriors captain Monty Betham and halfback Stacey Jones moved today to reinforce their full support for club management.
?There are no problems between Daniel Anderson and I and there never have been,? said Jones.
?At the moment, I just can?t seem to find form. Unfortunately I am not as fast as in previous years so I need to work on changing aspects of my game. ?I will be working closely with Daniel and Tony Kemp to help find solutions so that we can recapture our winning formula as a club.?
Club captain Monty Betham today reinforced his desire to win a premiership with the Warriors.
?The players are right behind the management and coaching staff,? said Betham. ?Players who don?t care about winning a premiership have no place at the Warriors. ?To be a Warrior you have to care about each other and care about the result of the game.
?You can?t stand in the trenches with someone who does not share those aspirations.? Vodafone Warriors chief executive officer Mick Watson said today the Warriors values were built on commitment and care and, nothing has changed. ?Our club values are commitment and care for one another, the end result, the club, team mates and fans,? said Watson.
?Unfortunately Ali has demonstrated he is not interested in these values.? Lauitiiti has made contact with head coach Daniel Anderson to discuss his situation. Lauitiiti will meet with Warriors? senior management tomorrow.

Fugitive, wanted girlfriend found in Rochester
May 29. 2013 7:40PM
ROCHESTER — A man wanted by federal officials on charges involving heroin trafficking was arrested in a D'Amours Avenue home Wednesday, the U.S. Marshals Service announced.
Derek Parker, 30, was arrested by federal marshals, who said he was on the run since the issuance of a federal warrant on a charge of conspiracy to distribute heroin.
"This case truly had law enforcement concerned, since Parker was on the run with his fugitive girlfriend and their 4-year-old child," said U.S. Marshal David Cargill Jr. "To think that parents would potentially jeopardize the safety of their young child while going on the run with a toddler is unconsionable."
Kenny, 27, was arrested on an outstanding warrant for drug possession.
Both are being held at Strafford County Jail. Their child was in good condition and released to family members, the Marshals Service said.
Parker was featured as as the Fugitive of the Week by various media, including the New Hampshire Union Leader. The case broke Wednesday, when a tipster contacted Rochester police with accurate information, the Marshals Service said.

I'm waving hello from under the snuggly quilt on my bed. Temps getting chilly here, and though you European&US lot laugh at me when I say the temps tip in at around 18C/65F here right now, and that this is what spring is like for you, trust me - in the tropics, that is chilly weather! And we're not in winter yet! Thank goodness there's brilliant sunshine to keep the spirits up.
Speaking of keeping spirits up, what's better than visiting blogs and reading tantalizing snippets & excerpts, aka, what Six Sentence Sunday is all about? Join me for another few lines from Before The Morning (Corpus Brides: Book Two), which comes out next Monday, btw, May 7... *excited*
Last week, we left our hero just as he made a startling discovery - the woman he's just saved looks so much like his childhood best friend. He hasn't seen her in ages, so is it her, or not?
We move a page or so from where we left off - Ash, in true hero/knight in shining armour fashion, has gone up against the woman's lover, the man who hit her right in front of everyone. It took a policeman to tear the two men apart. Ash refuses to leave before the bloke allows him to check on her - Irina, as she is called.
They're in a room in the house now; Ash has made her sit down, and he is checking on her injury. Yet, recognition is flooring him...
Catch the rest of the SSS lot and their fantabulous excerpts - especially Jessica E. Subject, Siobhan Muir, Lorraine Paton, Cara Bristol, Wildcat's Wife, and of course, don't forget to check my sis&bestie's blog, @ Natalie G. Owens.
Hope you're all having a lovely weekend, peeps! Thanks for your visit, double thanks + XOXO if you leave a comment.
From Mauritius with love,

Salvete omnes,
I am learning Latin with Lingua Latina - I am working through it really slowly and enjoying it very much. Here are my questions:
I hope to do a Latin GCSE or A level one day. I had heard, though, that they would be discontinuing the Latin (and Ancient Greek?) A level at some point. Have they got round to that yet? I can't believe I don't even know that, but I haven't had time to look into it properly.
My question is whether Lingua Latina will be enough practise for me to be able to take a GCSE or A level? I am aware that a lot of Latin students memorise the passages they have to translate in the exam; I don't find this a good way to learn - is it practical to approach Latin translation in the same way as we would French or German, in that we'd just translate an "unseen text" or so, or is it too difficult with Latin? Is their wanting to memorise the text just an indicator of their poor knowledge of Latin and a poor level of translating ability?
Does anyone know what standard Lingua Latina would take you to? Both Familia Romana and Roma Aeterna separately?
I assume, before taking the exam, that it would be sensible to read some of the orginal texts, or at least part of them. After reading Lingua Latina, I assume it's the usual authors that they'd include... Virgil, Cicero, Ovid.. anyone else? Anything in particular? I have heard that the Aeneid comes a lot, which particular book, I don't know... my knowledge on actual examinations is very sketchy.
I recognise this was a bit of a sketchy message with questions everywhere. Thanks for reading and I look forward to reading your answers. If you need any clarification, just ask, as I'm sure some of what I've said could be seen as unclear.

Last week wasn't a great eating week for me. I still continued eat pretty healthy meals for the most part, but between meals I digressed quite a bit. Monday our neighbors came by with Girl Scout cookies and we were not going to turn them down. They are great neighbors, so we bought 4 boxes. Since I am at work more than I am at home, fortunately I haven't taken too big of a calorie hit because of this.
Tuesday was Valentine's Day, and our truly awesome office manager baked us…Continue

MOAB, Utah (AP) — Grand County deputies say a 78-year-old woman who was reported missing after she failed to show up to the library was found stuck in quicksand.
Authorities say the woman was in good condition when she was found the night of July 9, about 14 hours after she said she got stuck.
Deputies say they searched a bike path at the Courthouse Wash in Arches National Park, where the woman was known to walk. Investigators located her car before finding her about a quarter mile up the wash.
Sharon Brussell of Arches says three or four people had to help dig her out and struggled because the quicksand kept filling back in.
Brussell says it's rare to get stuck in quicksand, but it can happen in sandy areas saturated with water.

The combined Democrat/MSM war on information has been characterized by cheap sloganeering. The Washington Post has been perhaps the worst offender, calling Dick Cheney the Vice President of torture, for example. Indeed, the Post has attempted to preempt debate and avoid real analysis through its loose use of the word torture. It hopes to invoke images of U.S. intelligence workers dismembering suspects and administering electric shock treatment, when in fact the practices in question generally involve largely psychological techniques which the ordinary citizen probably does not consider torture.
Now the sloganeers at the Post's editorial department have come up with a new catch-phrase — "spying on Americans." That is the title of the paper's lead editorial today. Spying on Americans sounds like a bad thing until one remembers that we do it all the time when we have reason to believe that Americans are engaged in, or assisting with, ordinary criminal activities — ones that pose far less of danger to society than terrorism. We certainly spy on mobsters, and the much maligned Patriot Act is in part just an attempt to permit the government to use techniques we employ against the mob to investigate terror suspects.
There are, of course, limits on the extent to which the government can "spy on Americans." The Post editorial assumes, without discussion, that when the NSA engages in surveillance without warrants, it violates those limits. But the law in this area seems to be quite unclear. Even the headline-writers in the Post's news department (hardly models of restraint) seem to acknowledge this fact. The front page story regarding this issue in today's edition reads "Pushing the Limits of Wartime Powers" (not exceeding them), and the article itself says only that "some legal scholars" feel that Bush is relying on "extraordinary claims of presidential war-making power."
But the editorialists aren't interested in nuance. They are on a crusade which, if successful, will make it more difficult to obtain information with which to protect the lives of Americans.
UPDATE: The Post editorial dismisses the administration's defense of surveillance without a warrant — that in certain instances there isn't enough time — by asking "why did the administration not go to Congress and seek adjustments to the law, rather than contriving to defy it?" There are two problems with this argument. First, the Post continues to assume what it hasn't shown — that the administration's actions were illegal. Second, asking Congress to adjust the law would have (a) alerted terrorists to the fact that we can obtain information through this kind of surveillance and (b) taken much longer than using the court procedure the president thought isn't always quick enough.
Thank God the editorialists at the Washington Post don't have responsibility for protecting this country from terrorists.
JOHN adds: Critics of the NSA's actions will always assume that the NSA's interception of messages to known terrorists overseas is illegal. I have not yet seen anyone make a legal argument as to why that would be true. Further to Paul's point, Hugh Hewitt writes on "Presidential Power and the Surveillance of Foreign Powers Conspiring with United States Citizens":
Overlooked in most of the commentary on the New York Times article is the simple, undeniable fact that the president has the power to conduct warrantless surveillance of foreign powers conspiring to kill Americans or attack the government. The Fourth Amendment, which prohibits "unreasonable" searches and seizures, has not been interpreted by the Supreme Court to restrict this inherent presidential power. The 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (an introduction from a critic of the Act is here) cannot be read as a limit on a constitutional authority even if the Act purported to do so.
"Further, the instant case requires no judgment on the scope of the President's surveillance power with respect to the activities of foreign powers, within or without this country." That is from the 1972 decision in United States v. United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan et al, (407 U.S. 297) which is where the debate over the president's executive order ought to begin and end. The FISA statute can have no impact on a constitutional authority, any more than an Act of Congress could diminish the First Amendment protection provided newspapers. Statutes cannot add to or detract from constitutional authority.

The annual Tunnel to Towers run ,which was held on Sunday, September 29, to honor the memory of firefighter Steve Siller, again exemplifies how New Yorkers are opening up their hearts.
Thousands of runners and walkers of all ages and nationalities made the trek through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to lower Manhattan, retracing the exact steps that firefighter Siller took as he ran in full gear towards the burning World Trade Center on that fateful morning of September 11, 2001.
He, along with 342 of his fellow firefighters, perished when both towers collapsed. All of those brave firefighters, along with the police, and many other emergency workers who were also killed will always be remembered.
We owe every single firefighter, police officer, and emergency service worker in this city our gratitude for all that they continue to do to protect the people of this great city. They are all the true heroes and heroines, not overpaid athletes who whine and complain that they are not being paid enough.
Let them trade places with our emergency service workers for one day; they would not survive.

Anybody here is more than welcome to go shooting with me. You might find out that gun owners aren't nuts or fearful. We just have a backup plan much like having a spare tire.
^Cool until a methhead decides he needs your stuff! As for me he gets a bullet. Let the courts decide what's next.
I always say what I mean. But sometimes I'm a sarcastic prick whose tone can't be properly communicated via text.
But jaimehlers, isn't your stuff worth way more than any human life?
All we need is a bunch of people who don't own guns, have never owned or shot guns, and can't see any reason for guns to exist, discussing gun ownership.Go to a skeet, trap or sporting clays range, hire an instructor and shoot a few rounds, and then get back to us.On the issue of using guns for self-defense: Since I don't believe in an afterlife, I feel justified in using a gun to protect my life, in legitimate self-defense, against some idiot, robber, rapist, thug, murderer, or other ne'er-do-well, rather than succumb like a lamb before a lion.Your mileage may vary.Odin, Armed King of the Gods
