2 Components You Do Definitely Not Have Knowledge Of Relative To LASIK Eye Medical ProcedureThe eye can be analyzed with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A practical evaluation includes the capability to move in the orbit and the response of the pupil to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye might be checked in several methods. The patient might be asked to recognize illuminated letter or items of varying sizes on what is known as the Snellen chart.
On the other hand, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye may be made in several methods. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In certain illness, specifically in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased significantly.
It must be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye problem may have other problems. Frequently other physical conditions are main and affect the eye as a effect. The appearance of the eye can alert the doctor and the client to problems in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms present themselves.
One's reliance on sight is stressed when one deals with a possible or temporary long-term loss of this crucial sense. Hence, when corrective measures are sought, particular types of vision correction such as contact lenses or glasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some individuals are bothered with that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgeries were developed to encourage reduced usage of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Generally, LASIK eye surgery is the brief term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another type of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this type of surgical treatment, one's vision is fixed completely.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are permanently transformed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."
The primary purpose of this surgery is to develop a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a my explanation blade known as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, permitting better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that individuals need to understand. Probably, the primary reason this kind of eye surgical treatment has ended up being well accepted is because the majority of its cases had been effective.
In spite of its success, there are still some disadvantages. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most sensitive part of the eye
Since LASIK eye surgery involves the operation of the retina, which is one of the most delicate parts of the eye, many people state that the operation can be very risky.
To puts it simply, a basic mistake might practically cause an person's life time loss of sight. Thus, it is necessary to think about lots of aspects prior to deciding whether LASIK eye surgery is the right restorative step one has to undergo.
2. It is not a best procedure
LASIK eye surgical treatment may correct your vision but it does not necessarily suggest that it can offer you a twenty-twenty. Even if statistical reports show that 70% of the patients might have 20/20 vision, this does not always imply they have ideal vision.
Given all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the appeal of the operation, LASIK might not constantly be the ideal eye surgical treatment the way the majority of people see it
On the other hand, the examination of the structural part of the eye might be made in a number of ways. It should be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye problem may have other problems. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can alert the doctor and the patient to difficulties in some disruptions of other parts of Lasik the body even prior to other symptoms present themselves.
Like its tangible counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction.

6 days in, so far, so good. From the first page of this calendar, I think this works best for individuals with conversational level of French who want to expand their vocabulary. The set also comes with a CD with basic phrases for individuals who are just picking up the language.
I adore this High Fashion Compact Engagement Calendar by Peter Pauper Press as my daily planner. I am always more keen to write things down when I work with pretty stationary. I really like the simple layout of this planner.
In this electronic age, I don't really need a planner since my phone dutifully reminds me of all my major appointments. I use planners to serve the role of a diary, so that in 20-30 years, I can go back and put the bits and pieces together to refresh my memory.

On Copy Editing
Ombudsman Deborah Howell recently sent an all-newsroom e-mail asking Post staffers what they thought about copy editing and its worth at the paper. The following reply came from Metro copy editor Jeff Baron. Howell says, "It was such a good and succinct description of how copy editors see their work that I thought it was worth sharing with readers."
We all need editors. When we write, we might know what we mean to say, and we become blind to the looseness in our language and the gaps in our facts. Friends will ignore slips in e-mails, but newspaper readers should be able to expect a higher standard.
There's more involved than running a spell check. The copy editor needs to be a critical reader: Is the story missing necessary background or other information? Is it unfair? Is it libelous? Have crucial questions gone unasked? When the answer is yes, the copy editor is on the phone with the reporter or researching on the Internet to make things right, and to do it on deadline.
We have to be alert to ambiguities in the writing; if even five in a hundred readers are misled or baffled by the phrasing of a sentence, we have failed. Their lives are tough enough, and understanding a newspaper article shouldn't be hard work. We have to be the reader's advocates, straightening out twisted syntax (no matter that it's correct) when it does not serve the reader. We guard against cliches and jargon: When a police reporter mentions "an adult female," we turn her back into "a woman." We watch out for the badly strained figure of speech, that reference to "the inquiring eyes of Congress's investigative arm" that sounded right to the writer but would give a literal-minded reader nightmares.
We check the facts, to the extent we can. No obituary subject ever worked for the Institute for Defense Analysis -- it's the Institute for Defense Analyses.
And we are the defenders of proper grammar, usage, spelling and what publications call style: when to capitalize, when to use numerals or spell out the numbers, etc. Copy editors might be the only people who can discuss, cheerfully and seriously and on their own time, when to hyphenate a compound adjective. Normal people, I have found, deeply do not care.
Some mistakes jump out: I love finding the comically wrong homonyms, the core for corps, the pour for pore, the ordinance for ordnance. Some are more subtle: It's easy to miss errors in quotations because our training tells us to leave quotations alone, but if the reporter has left out or misinterpreted a word or two, it's the copy editor's job to notice and ask.
I consider my workday worthwhile if I've made one especially good catch or written one sterling headline.
Yes, let's not forget, we're the ones who write the headlines. The best of them draw the reader and capture the essence of the article. They can be lyrical or hard-hitting, as appropriate, but they have to make sense while fitting the space constraints laid down by our dear but slightly sadistic page designers. The headlines satisfy our love of word games, allowing us to play with the rhythm and the look of the language. We spend far more time editing the articles, but headlines give us more latitude, more of a chance to be creative. In sports terms, the editing is the dependable defense that wins games, but it's the best headlines that make the highlight reel.
We do this work, generally, at night, with no stopping for holidays or weekends. We do not have social lives. If we have families, we do not see them much. We get precious little personal glory: The work is strictly anonymous. And we don't get much in the way of money, either: A chart just released by our union shows that The Post's copy editors earn noticeably less than its reporters, photographers, page designers and graphic artists.
We have the satisfaction of helping turn rushed prose into a great newspaper. We have the respect of the superb reporters whose butts we sometimes save. And as The Post and other newspapers make do with fewer of us, putting fewer pairs of eyes on each column of type, I'm afraid readers will notice us by the mistakes we no longer keep out of print.

Winner of the Mary McCarthy Prize in short fiction, selected by David Means. Winner of the University of Nevada's Silver Pen Award. "Mullins writes about these journeys, and about sex and the desert, with a wonderful, edgy lucidity. Greetings from Below is a remarkable debut."--Margot Livesey What would have become of Nick Adams if he'd been born along the ragged edges of a new American city, one with more churches per capita than any other, and twice the suicide rate? Meet Nick Danze, the main character of David Philip Mullins's vital debut collection, Greetings from Below. The opening story finds fourteen-year-old Nick and his pal Kilburg sitting in the Las Vegas desert, drinking whiskey from Kilburg's fake leg. It's the first of many shocks in Nick's sexual education, which begins with a kiss from Kilburg he calls "practice." In later stories, Nick hires a call girl, visits a swingers' club on Christmas Eve, obsesses over obese middle-aged women, and meets the love of his life, Annie, only he's not sure he loves her and he's compulsively unfaithful. Ashamed of his behavior, he stubbornly repeats it. And lurking behind it all is Vegas, with its gilded casinos, neon-tinted suburbs, and dingy, outer-ring strip clubs. In Nick's wounded honesty and queasy self-consciousness, Mullins awakens us to the perverse power of alienation and shame.

A company which spent around a million pounds last year by transforming a former working men's club into a state-of the art-training facility says the move is paying off for teenagers in Fleetwood.
Last year the former Gasworkers Club on Preston Street was transformed into North Lancs Training Group's (NLTG) Vocational Centre of Excellence, officially opened by snooker star Steve Davis last October.
The aim is to get these students jobs via work experience and then apprenticeships, while helping ensure they get basic English and maths qualifications as well as IT skills
With its headquarters in Accrington, NLTG is one of the biggest training providers in the country, aimed at helping young people gain apprenticeships with a range different businesses and employers.
This week NLTG began its new financial year with an intake of 30 young people, aged between 16-18, at the Fleetwood premises.
These young people, most of them from Fleetwood, have all signed up to its Study Programmes which help prepare them for apprenticeships and also upskill them in basic maths and English.
Vicky Ferguson, centre coordinator, said: "I have come through the programme myself and now I am employed by North Lancs Training.
"The aim is to get these students jobs via work experience and then apprenticeships, while helping ensure they get basic English and maths qualifications as well as IT skills."
One of the young people signed up this week was Victoria Chester, 17, of Jones Grove, Fleetwood.
She said: "I want to work to work in the care industry, in care homes or within the NHS, but I have been struggling to get a foot in the door.
"Without the experience, how am I going to get the work in the first place.
"I see this course as a way of helping me get a place with work experience and, hopefully, a job at the end of it."
Ben Dibb, 16, of Whinfield Avenue, Fleetwood, said: "I am looking for an apprenticeship in joinery.
"I don't want to just keep studying at college, I am looking at a direct way into work, learning on the job as I go along."
With another new group of intakes set to start each month, Vicky added: "We're staying busy. Apprenticeships is a good way of getting young people skilled up and in with local employers."

It's been a little while since we've had some kindie artists launch Kickstarter campaigns, but we've got a couple campaigns going on, heading toward the homestretch and seeking your help in pushing their own albums over the finish line.
[Edit: If you're looking for information on kid-friendly Kickstarter projects, I now have a whole podcast dedicated to that. Check out Bake Sale.]
The first is from New York's Joanie Leeds, who's trying to raise $15,000 for the full gamut of costs to record her fifth album for kids, Bandwagon . (Apropos album title, I suppose, given the financing mechanism.) As of this writing, Leeds has raised more than $10,000, nearly 68% of her goal. She's got a week to go (the Kickstarter ends March 12). There's a bunch of crazy (and crazy-expensive) backer levels, but $12 gets you a digital pre-order of the album, which'll be produced by Dean Jones.
The other project is from Seattle's Brian Vogan, who's seeking $5,000 to mix, master, print, and release his fourth album for families, Let's Go . The rewards here are less elaborate, but $15 gets you a physical pre-order of the album. As of today, Vogan has raised more than $2,300, just shy of half of his $5,000 goal. He's got about 10 days to go (his Kickstarter ends on March 15.
In any case, you may now proceed to crowd-source your kindie.

Local County is Proactive about Lighting
Cochise County, Arizona, has recently updated its lighting codes with the latest lighting technology in mind. The result is more protection for observatories and astronomy, while allowing enough light for the needs of businesses. Read about the county leading the way in the state!
New Discovery
Researchers at ASU recently announced the discovery of a wide brown dwarf companion to the nearby star zeta Delphini using data taken at the MMT with the ARIES instrument. The star and its brown dwarf, which are about 67 parsecs away, were observed as part of a larger survey of nearby stars called VAST (Volume-limited A-Star survey). The brown dwarf is located quite far away from its host star - about 900 times the distance between the Earth and the Sun - and is among the most widely separated companions known to date. Read the full article here.

Art Piece Inspired by the MMTO
For a very interesting and intriguing perspective, take a look at some large scale assemblages by artist John Zaklikowski. He uses computer and electronic parts, as well as more common objects to produce his artwork, described by him as a "testament to and commentary on the intersection of art, science, and technology." Look closely at "Ghent" and you might recognize the 6 mirrors of the original MMTO.

The John A. Texada House (Circa 1914) Owner: Jean Marie Rasbeary
101 Grove was designated a historical landmark during the 1991 evaluation procedure by the Calcasieu Historical Preservation Society.
In a "Local Landmarks" article in Jan of 1992, the home was termed "a big 'raised cottage style' structure." At that time, the owners were Mercedes Plauche and James R. Nieset. The home has since had other owners, including long-time preservationist, Virginia and Patrick Webb who sold to current owner, Jean Marie Rasbeary.
The John R. Stevens House (Circa 1920) Owners: Barbara and Bruce Wyman
Seven decades after the John R. Stevens House was built at 106 Grove in Margaret Place, current owners Dr. and Mrs. Bruce (Barbara) Wyman won a national award for their renovation of the classic bungalow.
Built by the Stevens in about 1920, the one-story bungalow was an extremely popular and fashionable smaller-type home to build shortly after the turn of the century through the 20's.
The Thomas J. Clooney House Owner: Michael Clooney
There is only one home over 50 years old in Margaret Place still owned by the original family!
Mike Clooney, the third generation owner, received the coveted Landmark plaque for the home at 112 Grove Street. The Thomas J. Clooney House 112 Grove Street c. 1913 This very fine bungalow was built in 1913 at 112 Grove Street, formerly 1612 Grove Street, for Thomas J. Clooney by Clooney Construction and Towing Company in a newly opened sub-division called Margaret Place. This area had opened for development in 1912 as was bounded by South Ryan, Wilson Avenue, Park Avenue, and Shell Beach Drive.
The James Clooney House Owner: Nancy Draughn
The James Clooney House is a two-storey wood frame structure built by John C. McWilliams for Emma and James Clooney in 1913.
A similar house was built about that time by Mr. Clooney's brother around the corner at 112 Grove Street. It is thought that the brothers were in the shipping business and ordered plans for the houses from Sears and Roebuck & Company.
The house is made of cypress. The attic has four hip roof shingle dormers. Front and side porches feature round Tuscan columns with federal-style balustrades. Other exterior features include French doors, saw-tooth dentil work and craftsman-type windows.
The Cullen Liskow House (circa 1925) Owners: Elizabeth and Darren Martel
Built by attorney Cullen Liskow and wife, Katherine Brainard West Liskow, this is in an English Tudor cottage style home was designed by R. S. McCook of the St Louis firm Asmus, Clark and McCook. The contractor was Walter James Patrick.
Exterior features include a slate room and cypress was used for all the wood trim.
In 1974, then owners Shirley and Bain D. Slack re-did the stucco in all the rooms. They had Jude Benoit, architect, design and add a 1,000 square foot family room onto the back of the house in the 1980's.
The Managan House Owners: Hilda and Dean Day
In a turnabout from a more conventional sequence of events, the William Henry Managan House at 220 Wilson Street, was "handed-down" from son to father – as a result of a fire. That little footnote to history was revealed in research by then owners, Mr. and Mrs. Lastie Paul Vincent.
The original cottage was built in 1920 by a young Managan – the bachelor son of a family well established in the lumber business – in Margaret Place, the Lake Areas' first "Streetcar Subdivision."
The Leon Locke Home (Circa 1912) Owners: Theresa and James Barnatt
This home, known as "Maison Rouge," was the first home built in Margaret Place circa 1912. The original homeowners/builders were Leon Locke and Francis E. King and the current caretakers are Jim and Theresa Barnatt.
Leon's paternal ancestors came to America in 1632 and located in New England. Some of the Mr. Locke's paternal ancestors were with the Colonists who met the British on Lexington Commons and harassed their retreat. Mr. Locke's mother was a descendant of Nathaniel Seegar, a Maine pioneer and patriot, who was captured by the Indians and escaped with a companion. This was a thrilling episode in the history of the Maine settlements when they were a part of the parent Colony of Massachusetts.
The Dr. H.B.White House, (Circa 1919) Owner: Leslie Knox
Built in 1919, this two-story bungalow on the corner of Griffith Street and Park Avenue (formerly Line Avenue) was the second home in Margaret Place owned by Dr. Henry Bascom ("H.B.") White and his first wife, Anna.
Situated one block from the lake, the house sits on 2½ lots opposite the Leon Locke House located at 330 Wilson Street. The house is built on piers, is constructed of long leaf "heart" pine, and most of the wood siding, tongue-in-grove porch railings, interior flooring, glass-panelled doors, and double-hung windows are original.
The Stockwell House, (Circa 1937) Owner: Willie L. Mount
In her book, Lousiana Homes If Walls Could Talk!, author Nola Rae Moss referred to the home at 205 Shell Beach Drive as an "architectual giant".
The house was built in 1937 as a wedding present from Dr. R.G. Holcombe Sr. to his daughter Roseina, and son-in-law Oliver P. Stockwell.
The two story, white clapboard neoclassical structure reflects the ambiance of an antebellum plantation house. It is a copy of an old Southern plantation house near Thibodaux and was built at a cost of $20,550.00 by Contractor W. Y. Quick from plans by architect Owen James Southwell of New Iberia.

Bob Burg, Guest Author
My good friend and networking expert Bob Burg, has 10 questions he personally uses when networking that he believes every networker should memorize.
Bob explains that these questions are not designed to be probing or sales-oriented in any way; they are all friendly, fun to answer, and will tell you something about the way the person answering them thinks. You'll never need or have the time to ask all 10 questions during any one conversation but, still, you should internalize them. Know them well enough that you are able to ask the ones you deem appropriate for the particular conversation and time frame.
Here are the 10 questions:
1. How did you get started in the (______) business?
2. What do you enjoy most about your profession?
3. What separates you and your company from the competition?
4. What advice would you give someone just starting out in the (______) business?
5. What one thing would you do with your business if you knew you could not fail?
6. What significant changes have you seen take place in your profession through the years?
7. What do you see as the coming trends in the (______) business?
8. Describe the strangest or funniest incident you've experienced in your business?
9. What ways have you found to be the most effective for promoting your business?
10. What one sentence would you like people to use in describing the way you do business?
Like Bob says, you're not going to get to ask more than a few of these questions during an initial conversation, so don't worry about sounding like you're conducting an interrogation. These are feel-good questions people enjoy answering, and they are meant to establish an initial rapport.
So next time you're at a networking event, try using a few of these questions and then come back and leave a comment about how using them worked out for you; I'm more than willing to bet you'll be pleased with the results.

Larry's Note: I would add one more question, if, when talking with someone with whom you feel a good connection and would like to get to know better:
"How may I help you?" – (Click link to read more about this!)
Demonstrating a sincere interest in someone is a great way to let them know that you really are there for them if that's what they want and that you are interested in working together. Networking is about building long-lasting business relationships (and more). To me, the journey begins with this question.
Here is one more networking question. . .
"So, if I'm chatting with someone, what might they say or do that would tell me that they are the perfect client for you?" You should, of course, already have your own answer for this one, because it's highly likely that they will turn it around and ask you (which is what you want anyway, right?). ~ Greg Peters, founder of The Reluctant Networker, LLC

File Processing
ePublisher divides the transform process into a series of pipelines, or groups of similar stages. Each stage defines an .xsl file to run that creates a portion of the target. ePublisher uses a combination of the format pipelines, the files.info GlobalFiles record file, XSLT parameters, and the root match template in a given XSL file to perform the action identified in a stage. These stages are defined in the format.wwfmt file located in each format folder. The format.wwfmt file defines all the pipelines and stages necessary to create a specific output format, and the relationships that each of these pipelines and stages have to one another. There is no preconceived order in which pipelines run. ePublisher calculates at run time the order in which each pipeline runs, based on pipeline dependencies.
ePublisher processes files based on type rather than by name. Each stage defines an .xsl file to run that creates a portion of the target. All ePublisher XSL style sheets define the following global parameters by default:
Provides the files.info file for the project, which includes all previously generated files in the files XML schema.
Provides the .wep project file, which defines the project as XML.
Specifies the name of the pipeline in which the current stage is defined.
Identifies the files selected in Document Manager. This parameter provides all previously generated files derived from the Generate Selected command in the files XML schema.
In addition, ePublisher passes the XSL style sheets all parameters defined for the current stage in the format.wwfmt file. Parameters passed to each XSLT file are usually used to load the various XML node sets needed for the current stage. For example, a stage may need to take information recorded in the Behaviors pipeline and merge it with information in the Links pipeline. The location of information generated in each stage is stored in the files.info file. Future stages can use the files.info file to learn the location of previously generated information needed to complete that particular stage. When that stage finishes, it notifies the files.info file that the information it created is available for future stages to use, if necessary.
Processing files based on type rather than by individual names allows you to define workflows for any number of input and output files. This flexibility allows you to define as many XSL stages as you need, and each stage can use any preceding files generated. You can create or delete pipelines, add or delete stages, or insert elements that dictate when to run a stage or pipeline.

A Neural Network Nonlinear Multimodel Ensemble to Improve Precipitation Forecasts over Continental US
1National Centers for Environmental Prediction, NOAA, College Park, MD 20740, USA

A novel multimodel ensemble approach based on learning from data using the neural network (NN) technique is formulated and applied for improving 24-hour precipitation forecasts over the continental US. The developed nonlinear approach allowed us to account for nonlinear correlation between ensemble members and to produce "optimal" forecast represented by a nonlinear NN ensemble mean. The NN approach is compared with the conservative multi-model ensemble, with multiple linear regression ensemble approaches, and with results obtained by human forecasters. The NN multi-model ensemble improves upon conservative multi-model ensemble and multiple linear regression ensemble, it (1) significantly reduces high bias at low precipitation level, (2) significantly reduces low bias at high precipitation level, and (3) sharpens features making them closer to the observed ones. The NN multi-model ensemble performs at least as well as human forecasters supplied with the same information. The developed approach is a generic approach that can be applied to other multi-model ensemble fields as well as to single model ensembles.

So St. Patrick's Day is probably one of the best days of the school year and what's even better is that it falls on the weekend this year.
The only thing better is getting dressed up in all the green you can find, and doing it cheaply.
So here are a few tips on how to dress up, look good and do it without spending a ton of money (since we all know its close to the end of the year and our bank accounts look pretty empty)
Here are a few stores I like to check out for cheap St. Patties Day swag;
-You can find an assortment of necklaces, hats, cups and wigs for around $1-$2 each.
Note: Don't buy their really tall skinny plastic cup with straw and parade around with it on the streets, it't considered an open container and the Police might not like it too much.
-If you want to grab some green sunglasses, socks, t-shirts/tops you can normally find some great stuff here.
Tip: Go with your friends and buy multiples, normally the deals at Ardene's are when you buy 2 or 3 of each of a certain item
Old Navy
-If you want an actual t-shirt that says St.Patrick's day, or even just some green tops or even green pants, these are on sale this week at Old Navy
Value Village
-Always a good one when it comes to costumes for Halloween, it definitely could be a great place to find some really wacky green clothing, obviously options vary by store

W7 Pro 64
I just tried out the Glarysoft tool. I only can advice to be careful. It can't really do anything that CCleaner can't do or that you can do with the W7 tools. I can uninstall software without extra tools. I also can defrag on my own. Here you find a summary on what to use and do. Except of Kaspersky every tool you will ever need is free. It is nice for a non-advanced user to have all windows built-in tools in one tool, but unfortunately it comes with some poisonous pills and even advanced users fall for the registry cleaner tricks.
I tried the registry cleaner as I advice against those. by default it almost goes right to deleting things when you are not careful. Although the things it tried to delete didn't look too dangerous, I don't see reason to risk it. It is snake oil anyway.
Even when it still works after registry cleaning, it could be something you don't use right away and in some week you find yourself reinstalling some software.
The same with the memory optimizer. Yeah, MS doesn't know how to use the memory and has superfetch and other things and bringing this tool in fore sure will improve things
the only good thing about the tool is that it is free.
Maybe the shredder and un-deleting function are useful. But I'm sure there are better tools and having this full "optimization" suite tempts the user to use all the dangerous "optimizations".
all this applies to TuneUp and other such software as well. You don't need it.. unless you plan on re-installing your OS every once a while.

I dont know how adviseable running tuneup programs in compatibility mode is. Could have all sorts of side effects. If it doesnt work, Id steer clear of it and try another program.
I definitely advise against using registry tweaks and defraggers.

Hi all, my little boy is now 3yrs+ and I have every item of clothing from vests/baby grow for o month + up until 3 yrs old. We have just found out we are expecting a girl and we would really like to sell some of our sons clothes to have the money to buy things for our girl. Where is the best place to advertise and how?? bundles/single items. Also what are realistic prices? We would love to have enough money not to have to sell the clothes but with me being a stay at home mum its just not practical. 😊

Bergs Banded Cylinder Planter
Style No. 37981115
Hand-crafted in Italy, Bergs planters capture the simple beauty of Danish design, drawing inspiration from time-tested antique styles. Every pot and saucer is made from the best quality Italian terracotta clay, high-fired for frost resistance and indoor-outdoor durability. With time and handling, the terracotta will develop a weathered patina; you may polish your planters with a mild vinegar solution and soft cloth to restore a spotless appearance.
- Galestro terracotta clay
- Indoor or outdoor use
- Winter care: For best longevity, empty and place upside down on boards or pot feet during the winter months.
- Drainage hole included
- Please note: each pot is hand-finished; some variation in color and texture should be expected. Due to the porous quality and varying mineral content of natural clay, the pot will change color or patina over time from exposure to water, handling, and salts found in soil. Pots may arrive with some marks of handling; a vinegar solution can be used to return your pot to its original finish after handling.
- Handmade in Italy
Small: 17.4"H, 16.5"D, 20" exterior diameter at mouth, 17" interior diameter at mouth, 15" diameter at base

LAKE PLACID, N.Y. -- The final game of this week's national junior evaluation camp features Finland and Sweden getting back injured players.
For Finland, top defenseman Olli Maatta returns to the lineup after missing most of the week with the flu. The Pittsburgh Penguins prospect is paired with Julius Honka, a top prospect for the 2014 NHL Draft. In his game action earlier in the week, he had been paired with Ville Pokka, a New York Islanders draft pick.
For Sweden, Oscar Dansk will be back in goal after missing a few days while recovering from taking a puck off his mask. Also, center Oskar Sundqvist is back in the lineup after missing a few days with a sore neck sustained Monday when he collided with the metal stanchion at the end of the team's bench. He's on the second line between Jacob de la Rose and Filip Sandberg.
Here are the lineups both teams will use:
Gustav Possler - Alexander Wennberg - Daniel Zaar
Jacob de la Rose - Oskar Sundqvist - Filip Sandberg
Andre Burakovsky - Lucas Wallmark - Malte Stromwall
Ludvig Nilsson - Erik Karlsson - Tobias Tornkvist
Linus Arnesson - Christian Djoos

Hi Everybody. I cant write much here, I am home from the hospital,and very sore and tired. The good news is I do not have cancer. My ent got me opened up, started taking out stuff, sending stuff off to the lab, including my lump. The first results came up negitve for any cancer. Still she said she had to take out the lump, tissue, nerves, and some lympm nodes. Tuesday she called me at the hospital and there is no cancer in any of it. She asked the pathologist why my needle biopsy showed cancer cells. He said the begign tumor I have sloffs off cells that can make a false positve. I forget the name of the tumor but usually happens in people in their 30s. This is a miracle, so even if I had to go through this pain at least I am healthy.

I can't believe it!! I am SO glad for you.
Please stay on the site anyway!!

Mary- have you ever had a more excellent surprise in your life? I mean- WOW! Know that I am so very happy for you. Does kinda lead one to wonder if our Prayers...Yeah, Mary, anything is possible. Now you are testimony to the fact with your experience. Go forward with it, Mary, into the rest of your life. As always, with me...
Mar 31, 2010 - 7:43 pm
I am so glad to hear the news, Now you can believe in the POWER of PRAYER
God bless and keep you
Mar 31, 2010 - 8:34 pm
Hi Mary,
Well you must be one happy and relieved lady !! Good for you. I was always concerned with your diagnosis from your first post ;
"I have always felt fine and healthy. I have been a vegetariann for 10 yrs and then a vegan." (I asked 'Why would this person get cancer ??")
Maybe it has really paid off. Anyway I am very happy for you.
Mar 31, 2010 - 8:47 pm
Your post has brought tears to my eyes. I've included you in my prayers every day for the last several days. Not that the prayers of a jaded old newsman tipped the balance in your favor, but there were a lot of other people out there pulling for you as well. It's so wonderful to know, once again, that prayer works.
--Jim in Delaware
Mar 31, 2010 - 9:32 pm
But the happiness way outweighs the jealousy. This is fantastic news, Mary - you have been blessed, and I'm glad to know about it; very happy for you. Heal, and enjoy your family.

Oh Happy Day!!! What an answer to your prayers!! I thought that to avoid false positives,
An undescribable relief Im sure for you Mary!!! Im so happy for you!!!
Apr 01, 2010 - 10:22 am
Remember awhile back, you questioned why it was going to take soooo long to be operated on ? Over a month of mental strain and worry.
Is it just a schedule back log or was it in God's hands to have this happen so close to Easter ? Only you will know for sure. Many Prayers have been sent out for you over this long time. I know that when I first got this cancer, I asked God if He didn't mind, I'd like to see my 1st grandson play baseball, he was only 5 months old at the time. I knew it was in His hands. My one Grandfather died 2 months after I was born. Was history about to repeat itself? I am still here and hopefully will be here to see my grandson play baseball in College. He starts Tee Ball in a few weeks : )
The Sun is very bright here on the East Coast, or is that your smile that is making it so bright here.
Enjoy your Easter with your family and a speedy recovery to you.
My Best to You and Everyone Here

A week today since my neck dissection and finding out I dont have cancer at all. I am happy my ent didnt go all the way and do a radical dissection like she planned. When she got the news from pathology that it most likely wasnt cancer, she didnt take out as much. As it is I have a numb ear, numbness in my jawbone and collarbone and upper chest. Skin of my scalp above my ear is tender. But all that doesnt matter, I dont have cancer. I am feeling wonderful.

Had my stitches out yesterday. I got the name of my tumor. It is called "pilomatrixoma" I looked online and it is found usually in young children. Is a cyst of calcified hair cells. I found one site that said adults 50-65 can get it though is rare. I read that it can show up as cancer in a biopsy.
Apr 07, 2010 - 1:35 pm
Thanks for the up-date I am just so glad that is was not cancer.
God be with you

Hi Kim,
Apr 16, 2010 - 7:41 am
Mark's lumps are under his jaw. They say there are 2 lymph nodes involved. But again, there was one lump there for a very long time (years). I too researched pilmatrixoma and saw the age range (he is in it) these lumps appear on other parts of the body, like the torso (he has that). Worrisome thing there are TWO lumps and that is more rare than having this kind of tumor at all. I still go back and forth from disbelief to hunkering down for the big battle ahead. Don't want to feed my denial, but there is no reason not to ask. Wish there was a better way to be sure than neck discection. Hope you are feeling better every day. A miracle like yours has the ability to restore a lot of things, I am sure.

When it comes to synthetic biology, two species of microorganisms should automatically come to mind; E. coli and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Both have been used extensively for proof of principle research. Thanks to these investigations, both are able to synthesize a drop-in biodiesel.

Sit back and watch, let me take you on a ride
Uh, natural high
Yo, yo, make it rain again, spit flame again
Now, watch how I'm aimin' 'em, my bare hands is stranglin'

As the Hurst Nationals, Powered by Carlisle Events enters its second year, it promises to be bigger and better than the first! The event is located at the Carlisle Expo Center which is just a block away from the fairgrounds. While the Hurst/Olds may be the first vehicle that comes to mind, Hurst has been involved with AMC, Chrysler, Ford and GM. Hurst continues to build vehicles for the remaining Big Three to this day.
Vehicles such as the SC/Rambler, GSS Dart, SSJ Grand Prix, Rebel Machine, modern muscle and more make up this event. This year marks 50 years of the legendary Hurst/Olds and we're putting together a display of every year of H/O production as well as the proposal cars that Hurst built but never made it to regular production. 2018 is also the 50th anniversary of the '68 Hemi Darts and Barracudas that were so successful, they continue to race today in their own class. To celebrate, we're assembling one of the largest gatherings ever of these rare A-Bodies.
Due to overwhelming interest from owners of vehicles with Hurst equipment, the 2018 Hurst Nationals welcomes all vehicles equipped with Hurst products. Whether it be original factory equipment, dealer-installed or added by the owner at some point, that vehicle is eligible to participate in the show. We also welcome any "what-if" Hurst vehicles as well as tributes. An example of a "what-if" Hurst vehicle might be a 1966 Mustang with Hurst graphics and products. A tribute vehicle could be a '69 Old Cutlass that was built to Hurst/Olds specs. If you and your vehicle have a passion for the Hurst brand, this is the show for you!
In addition to the cars above, it was 60 years ago that Hurst-Campbell was founded. We'll be honoring that milestone, too. The show will be rounded out with the newest models from Hurst, former Hurst employees and engineers who actually designed and built these beasts and other featured guests listed below. We'll have book signings, autograph sessions, seminars and more. All show car owners and walk-in customers will again have FREE access to our Chrysler Nationals event which is held across the street at the Carlisle Fairgrounds. For one low price, you get access to the only all Hurst event and the world's largest Chrysler show!

On September 9, 2015, Sally Quillian Yates, the Deputy Attorney General, issued a memorandum announcing the Department of Justice's (DOJ) new guidelines regarding its intensifying focus on individual wrongdoers in the context of corporate misconduct (Yates Memo). The Yates Memo is the latest in a line of pronouncements by the DOJ concerning the framework federal prosecutors must use in determining whether and how to charge corporations and their employees in criminal cases. It is the most significant ever for corporate officers and employees. As Ms. Yates explained in a September 10, 2015 speech at New York University's program on corporate compliance and enforcement, the new guidelines "are institutional policy shifts that change the way we investigate, charge, and resolve cases."
The Guidelines
Six directives comprise the core of the Yates Memo, which applies to both criminal and civil matters: (i) to be eligible for any cooperation credit, corporations must provide the DOJ with all relevant facts about the individuals involved in corporate misconduct; (ii) both criminal and civil corporate investigations should focus on individuals from the inception of the investigation; (iii) criminal and civil attorneys handling corporate investigations should communicate routinely with one another; (iv) absent extraordinary circumstances, no corporate resolution will provide protection from criminal or civil liability for any individuals; (v) corporate cases should not be resolved without a clear plan to resolve related individual cases before the statute of limitations expires, and declinations as to individuals in such cases must be memorialized; and (vi) civil attorneys should consistently focus on individuals as well as the company and evaluate whether to bring suit against an individual based on considerations beyond that individual's ability to pay.
While a number of the above directives relate to the manner in which DOJ personnel communicate and interact with one another (for example, criminal and civil DOJ attorneys must now promptly and routinely consult with each other concerning pending investigations), the directives focusing on cooperation credit and corporate settlements are the most important. The Yates Memo effectively codifies prior public statements by DOJ officials that they intend on taking a tougher stance on prosecuting all levels of corporate employees. As Ms. Yates explained, "We cannot allow the flesh-and-blood people responsible for misconduct to walk away, while leaving only the company's employees and shareholders to pay the price."
Critically, to receive any cooperation credit under the new guidance, corporations must disclose all relevant facts concerning individual misconduct. This is an important shift from the fourth factor – "the corporation's timely and voluntary disclosure of wrongdoing and its willingness to cooperate in the investigation of its agents" – stated in the April 2008 "Principles of Federal Prosecution of Business Organizations" issued by then-Deputy Attorney General Mark Filip and since incorporated into the U.S. Attorney's Manual. Previously, corporations could receive "partial" credit even if disclosures regarding individual misconduct were incomplete. Cooperation is now an all-or-nothing proposition.
Importantly, Ms. Yates made it clear that corporations cannot plead ignorance: "If they don't know who is responsible, they will need to find out. If they want any cooperation credit, they will need to investigate and identify the responsible parties, then provide all non-privileged evidence implicating those individuals." This cooperation requirement will be ongoing, as Ms. Yates explained: "Corporate plea agreements and settlement agreements will include a provision that requires the companies to continue providing relevant information to the government about any individuals implicated in the wrongdoing. A company's failure to continue cooperating against individuals will be considered a material breach of the agreement and grounds for revocation or stipulated penalties."
The Yates Memo includes additional guidelines on the interplay between corporate settlements and individual liability. According to the new guidelines, before finalizing a settlement with a company during an ongoing investigation into individual liability, DOJ attorneys must provide a memorandum to their supervisors that details potentially liable individuals, the current status of the investigation regarding their conduct and a plan to bring the matter to resolution prior to the end of any statute of limitations period. The Assistant Attorney General or U.S. Attorney whose office handled the investigation, or their designees, must approve any declinations. In addition, absent "extraordinary circumstances," corporate settlements may not include agreements to dismiss charges or release claims against, or provide immunity for, individual officers or employees.
Preliminary Observations
Corporate internal investigations into possible misconduct may now have to be tailored to the all-or-nothing approach of the Yates Memo. Just as the government will now focus on individual misconduct at the outset of the investigation, corporations must do the same in their internal investigations of potential misconduct. Corporations may have to search wider and dig deeper due to the severe consequences of not disclosing to the government all relevant facts of individual misconduct. The company and outside counsel must now scrutinize the results of internal investigations even more closely because of the difficulties in determining at an early stage whether conduct is criminal. The all-or-nothing cooperation required under the Yates Memo for securing cooperation credit may well result in more companies determining that self-disclosure and cooperation with the government are not in the company's best interest and deciding instead to remain silent or defend against the government's case.
The guidelines articulated in the Yates Memo show the seriousness of the government's intentions to prosecute responsible individuals for white-collar crimes, and companies should start preparing for this intensified focus now. Companies should reevaluate their ethics and compliance programs to ensure that they are robust and effective in preventing and detecting criminal conduct. Under these circumstances, the best defense is to proactively enforce a robust compliance program – one that includes regular auditing and testing of business practices – so that the company can stay one step ahead of the game and minimize the potential for misconduct in the first place.

Tempering & Toughening Of Flat Glass - Manufacturing Plant, Detailed Project Report, Profile, Business Plan, Industry Trends, Market Research, Survey, Manufacturing Process, Machinery, Raw Materials, Feasibility Study, Investment Opportunities
|Tempered glass is made from normal annealed glass via a thermal tempering process in which the glass is subjected to heat till its softening point and then rapidly cooled. This increases the strength of the glass. A fully tempered glass is 4 to 5 times stronger than an annealed glass of similar thickness. A fully tempered glass is regarded as a safety glass and when it breaks it disintegrates into small blunt pieces which greatly reduce the chances of injuries and if there are any then they are superficial in nature. Toughened or tempered glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Tempering creates balanced internal stresses when broken which cause the glass, to crumble into small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards. The granular chunks are less likely to cause injury. Toughened glass is a type of soda-lime-silica glass with a sheet thickness 4-12 mm. The sheet has a central tensile stress of 500-1200 kg/cm2 and a ratio of surface compressive stress to central tensile stress of 2:1 to 4:1. The article is toughened by heat exchange with an oil (or chilled air) in which these are maintained from 0.01–0.07% liquid. The boiling point liquid may be an organic liquid such as carbon tetrachloride, methanol, benzene, toluene, trimethyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol or Xylene etc. The industry is growing at around 8% per annum. Consumption per capita of glass in India is only about 0.8 kg compared to 3.5 kg in China, 5.2 kg in Thailand, 12 kg in Malaysia and 2.5 kg in Indonesia. The total organised producers in the glass market have a turnover estimated at over Rs 40 bn, represented by a fairly large number of suppliers. The major players including Gujarat Guardian, Indo Asahi, Triveni Glass, Gujarat Borosil and Float Glass India have been accumulating heavy losses. Some units were at the verge of turning sick. India exports about 13,000 tonne of glass per month to the Middle East, African countries, Europe and South America. The rapid increase in the demand for flat glass in the domestic market has resulted in a cutback in exports by as much as 60% in the last couple of years. Few Indian Major Players are as under:- Asahi India Glass Ltd. Atul Glass Inds. Ltd. Auroplast India Ltd. Gold Plus Glasses India Ltd. Hindustan Motor Finance Corpn. Ltd. Saint-Gobain Sekurit India Ltd. Sezal Glass Ltd.

Meet Marin.
Or as Evan likes to call her: Marin Augusta Burke.
At the Denton Animal Shelter she was in a cage alone, curled up, and quiet. We fell in love immediately.
Just look at that face!
We've been watching the Dog Whisperer like crazy and just storing up facts and strategies to use. We've both already been "calm and assertive" today and I think we're gonna make great pack leaders. Cesar would be so proud.
Today has gone great so far. She threw up on me in the truck on the way home. Hilarious now. Very disgusting then. I gagged so much, Evan had to do most of the cleaning. This is probably great preparation for motherhood. We went for a walk in the park and did some Sit and Stay commands that she seemed to catch onto pretty quickly.
Next up: potty training. It's sure to be good times in the Burke house for the next couple weeks!

The news from Japan has highlighted the best and worst of how the Chinese feel about their neighbour and their place in the modern world. Here are a few extracts from posts in the hours after the quake struck.
'zhynusan' was 'Happy, because all you Japanese dwarves have got what you deserved today... Sad, because the Japanese islands haven't been totally submerged. How come so few of those f*ckers died? ... I hope that tomorrow I'll be able to fetch a map of the world and say to my son "There used to be a country here, that produced stuff like Sora Aoi and Ran Asakawa [famous porn models], but it's gone. And it won't be coming back. Go tell your ma to kill that old chicken, 'cos we're gonna have a feast to celebrate!"'
'Fledgling bird' posted 'Quake on! Best if it quakes them all out of here! Tens of thousands of those Japanese dwarves are dead - better than winning the lottery! The filth, let's all us Chinese cheer! Got off work and onto the net, and saw there'd been a tsunami, ho ho, felt really happy, if only it could've been bigger... I bet there'll be people all over China having a wry laugh, ho ho. Serves them right. I don't think China should be going to their aid... One thing that's not so good is that there's no word of a high death toll, but I think there'll be more to come! A little tsunami like that won't teach the Japs a proper lesson, let alone be a decent apology to us Chinese. I don't know what the damage will cost, but it must be in the hundreds of billions in any currency. Looking at all those masses of cars, boats and houses, it's a magnificent sight. I really want to go and take a look in person, perhaps offer the dwarves a tissue. We're a civilised country, far better than their pissy little island nation. ... Let's do them a half-second's silence as a tribute, ho ho. Now it looks like there's over 40 dead! Not enough - we need a few more, or it won't be worth it. Come on, it was a massive 9 on the scale! May god bring another quake, amen! I pray that all the gods in the heavens bring storms to make it all the more ferocious!'
But another anonymous poster took quite a different angle:
'The news of a big quake at sea a few days ago, with no injuries, had lots of you stamping your feet in anger. Looks as if nature heard your cries, cos today it struck Japan with a vengeance. Some of you are still asking "why at sea again? why only 20 or 30 dead? why not flatten Tokyo? can't a tsunami wipe out Japan?" You haven't exhibited a trace of sympathy, because Japan once invaded us and did such harm, and for that reason I hate Japan too. I've never called them "Japanese", only "devils". But in the face of nature we're all equal. When others are in peril you can pretend not to notice, stand by and do nothing, but please don't sneer and make fun, or get some kind of schadenfreude kick from their suffering. Some of you are saying too few died. What if one day we had a big quake, like the one in Yunnan the other day, and the Japanese said too few had died, how would you feel? ... Do we have to go on with all the same resentments and preferences of our elders' generations? The best way to get revenge isn't to bang on like you lot about "destroy Japan!" or "I'll give my life to smash the Japanese", or do you really want the flames of war to reach us again? No - we should strive for knowledge, whether in the humanities, sciences or arts, so that our technology, civilization and culture can conquer the opposition, and I think the Japanese would have no choice but to respect us.
[The buddhist monk] Foyin once said, "if you see people as shit, then your heart contains just shit, but if you see people as the buddha, then your heart contains the buddha". I can't forget the 300,000 murdered in Nanjing, of course. People can have things they hate, but mustn't lack conscience. We could make a massive counter attack in revenge for Japan's provocations, we can boycott Japanese goods, have an embargo on imports, but when we see lives being snuffed out by nature can we sneer and joke? If the invasion of China is the reason for your schadenfreude, well, have you forgotten the disastrous Great Leap Forward or the decade of chaos in the Cultural Revolution? That was your own countrymen doing the damage then, even more recently than the Japanese, and we Chinese killed more than the Japanese ever managed. Have you all forgotten? By your logic, when it comes to [the disasters in] Wenchuan, Yushu and Yunnan should we all just grab a drink and have a laugh, raise a toast to congratulate each other? perhaps let off a few firecrackers?
And another thing - all those people killed when those crappy buildings collapsed in Wenchuan, how are they going to get redress? Did the builders get their punishment? Aren't you lot on a bit of a subjective mission? ... Before you sneer at others, you need to know that it's harder to overcome yourself than it is to overcome others. Remember what Bai Yansong [CCTV news anchor for the Sichuan earthquake in 2008] said: why does China have so few friends internationally? It's because China has no concept of the worth of common humanity. When 9.11 happened, the rest of the world's press led with the story, and here the front pages carried stories about our leaders making official visits!
Compared to nature, we're tiny; faced with disasters, there's only people and people, not nation and nation, and we should have pity and sympathy, not narrow nationalistic feelings. To be a person you need generosity, and a nation even more so. If foreigners could see what you've been writing about the Japanese on the net, what would they think?'
Well, some of the foreigners at least have seen what they've been writing...

The Four Items Most People Get Wrong in a Trademark Application
Many business owners believe they can save money by doing a Federal trademark application. But what they do not know are the pitfalls in filing the application themselves.
1. Incorrect Trademark. Yes, this might seem very basic – but many times, business owners register what they think their mark is instead of registering the mark that the business is using.
2. Incorrect Owner. People and corporations are different legal entities. Very often, a small business owner puts himself or herself as the owner of the trademark when it is the corporation who owns and uses the trademark.
3. Incorrect Date of First Use. What is the date of first use? It is the date that the trademark was used on any material related to the goods or services your company sells.
4. Incorrect Description of the Goods and Services. As a part of filing for a Federal trademark, the application must list the goods and services that a mark represents. This list must be complete. If the mark is not used in conjunction with any of the goods or services listed, then the registration is open to attack.
If any of these items in a trademark application is incorrect, then the trademark application or registration is subject to cancellation.
Fraud Upon the United States Patent and Trademark Office can be triggered by even an innocent mistake. If a trademark application is fraudulent, the trademark application or registration can be cancelled.
See an attorney to discuss all aspects of a trademark application – from what the mark really is, to who the owner is, to the first date of use, to the goods and services it represents.

Leki Thermolite XL 2010
Leki is a well-proven trekking pole brand and the Thermolite XL is one of its latest models. It was good to see it comes with a detailed instruction swing tag, so at least users know how to use it and look after it. The Aergon handle features a quick-release design that allows the wrist loops to be loosened instantly in emergency situations or just to adjust them quicker on the move. The handle is well-shaped with firm but comfortable padding, and this padding extends down the shaft for better grip when traversing uneven slopes. The poles are adjusted with the usual internal expansion bolt system. The poles are a good weight and packed size, and offer good stiffness for walking. Definitely a good design in many ways, and a pole that will match the requirements of most walkers. But there is no anti-shock on the Leki Thermolite XL but for £107 you can get a pair of Thermolite XL AS poles, which do have this feature. Lighter poles exist, and some options have length adjustment locks that may work better in the long term. Some poles also have handles that are tilted to allow for a more natural arm position. It's a high price tag for what you get as for example the wrist loops are not quite as comfortable as on some lower-priced options.
Handle moulded thermo plastic and rubber
Shaft aluminium HTS 6.5
Max length 137cm
Min length 63cm
Weight 450g per pair
Made in Taiwan
Stores in the UK no info provided
Leki is a well-established brand and the Thermolite XL a great pole for most walkers, although some other options have advantages if you really want to get the best.

ITEM 115-1007-R0502 Authorization to Confer the Title of Professor of Library Services on Karen Driessen, Professor of Library Science, and Director, Instructional Media Services, Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library; The University of Montana-Missoula
THAT: Karen Driessen, Professor of Library Science, and Director, Instructional Media Services, in her 29 years of dedicated service to The University of Montana and to the State of Montana, has merited the commendation of the Board of Regents of the Montana University System, and has earned the title of Professor of Library Services Emeritus.
EXPLANATION: Professor Driessen received her B.A. degree from The University of Montana in 1965, and her M.A. in Librarianship from the University of Denver in 1967. She worked at the University of Colorado in Boulder from 1965-1966 and the Adams County School District in Colorado from 1967-1969. In 1969, Professor Driessen relocated to Missoula and worked for the Missoula County High Schools until 1970. In 1973, she became the Media Cataloger at The University of Montana. In 1976, Professor Driessen became Media Librarian, and in 1993, she became first Acting Director and then Director of Mansfield Library Instructional Media Services. She served in that capacity until her retirement in 2002.
During her years of service at the Mansfield Library, Professor Driessen committed herself to providing top quality reference service and instruction to students and scholars. Her successful efforts to develop and build the University's comprehensive media collection will serve as a living legacy to current and future library users. As co-author of A Library Manager's Guide to the Physical Processing of Nonprint Materials, Professor Driessen's expertise in cataloging will serve future generations as a standard for ensuring online access to collections are readily available to users.
Professor Driessen's University service remains considerable, and she served as a member of both the Committee for Campus and Facilities and the Administrative Advisory Council. Professor Driessen's involvement with the Montana Committee for the Humanities has led to successful grant opportunities for the Mansfield Library to expand and maintain their film collection.
For these accomplishments and for her truly remarkable interest in providing students and scholars at The University of Montana with the knowledge and research tools they need, the faculty and staff proudly recommends the commendation of the Board of Regents and the title, Professor of Library Services Emeritus, for Professor Karen Driessen.
