Consider yourself warned: Charleston, SC, is hard to shake.
"If you come to Charleston and experience it like us locals do, it will forever take place in your soul," says David Szlam, a co-creator of Virgil Kaine ginger-infused bourbon. "Dining at Bowens Island Restaurant is especially romantic, watching the sun set over tidal creeks while enjoying some fresh steamed oysters—the list goes on and on."
The Travel + Leisure community doesn't need convincing. Charleston, with its cobblestoned streets, genteel mansions, and dynamic food scene, took top honors as the best city for a romantic escape in the America's Favorite Places survey. Readers ranked cities in up to 67 categories, including wine bars, parks and gardens, live music, and brunch—the kinds of offerings that often attract couples.

And don't underestimate the allure of a warm climate: San Diego, voted No. 1 for its weather, came in fifth among the best cities for romance. "The days aren't only filled with sunshine, but there's the warmth from people who are almost giddy to live here," says Gina Stark, owner of a fashionable downtown women's boutique. "You can sail, and within minutes of docking be enjoying an outdoor concert at Humphreys by the Bay or sipping happy-hour drinks in the heart of downtown."
Whether you're looking to steal away for a weekend with your longtime honey or spark a new relationship, these cities will set the mood for love.

Kan Tai-Wei – New media art researcher cum artist. Research Intern at the NUS Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Lab. PhD student at the Mobile Phone and HCI Research Lab at the National Taiwan University.
We met Tai-wei briefly at the NUS-HCI Lab where he explained to us the project that his team was working on. He also showed us the few prototypes the team had came up with. So, what is the purpose of their project and who is it made for?
Read on to find out more about the "Tangible Programming Toolkit" that his project team at NUS-HCI Lab is working on.
Tai-wei's team comrprises Professor Zhao Shengdong and four research members (Tai-wei, Chuan Leng Li, Yong Leong Kin, Zhou Biyan).
According to Tai-wei, the toolkit was designed with the intention to help street artists include interactive components into their artwork.
There will be an INPUT component which can detect physical quantity from environment with sensors such as IR sensor, light sensor, range finder, and an OUTPUT component which will provide feedback based on the users' interactions with the device.
For example, a Light Emitting Diode (LED) will give visual feedback while a speaker will facilitate audio feedback. The purpose of the device is to create a user-friendly graphic user interface for street artists.
A glimpse into Tai-Wei's background might give a better appreciation of why he is working on this research project. Tai-wei is a designer of electronic arts which have been exhibited at several international events. More information on Tai-Wei could be found at his website.
Although Tai-wei had initiated for this project to be showcased at the Singapore Mini Maker Faire, he might have to return to Taiwan during that period.
Nonetheless, we are still looking forward to see this toolkit. Hope you can join us then as well.

Marko Ahtisaari, Nokia's Executive Vice Preside of Design, today spoke at the annual LeWeb conference and during his talk he covers many of Nokia's current projects while revealing the Lumia 620.
The video is now available to watch and we see Marko explain some of Nokia's design choices and also explains the Here location platform. Some nice hands on with the device and different colour body options. Check the video after the break..
Marko points out that they have an 'especially loud speaker' on the Lumia 620 which will please those looking for good speakerphone output. He also does a nice job of explaining the actual design of the handset which is actually quite insightful.

I don't understand, this isn't like abortion or the death penalty. Two parties got together -- the league and the union -- and negotiated the terms of how they will handle their private contracts. But fair enough, I know many people have the same view you do, so you're certainly not alone.
I don't like to analogize in extremes (because the sports world is a different animal), but what they hey...
I won't say what company it is (because they're nationwide and I don't want to offend anyone), but it has a strong presence in central PA. They have a common practice (though it certainly isn't absolute) where they hire young professionals in the field, give them a good living, promote them and work them through the company...and then, when said professional is in their early 50's (with kids in college, still working on mortgages, loans, etc....) they cut them off at their knees by laying them off and go hire more young (cheap) professionals to do the same job, and usually worse. The now unemployed pro in his/her early 50's now has to look for 15 or so years of income just to be able to retire at a reasonable age, and no one is willing to take on anyone near that salary/pay grade. Corporations/companies almost never used to opperate this way, but now it's becoming quite common. But hey, those companies have to look out for #1, eh?
Is it legal?...yep. Is it slimy and disgusting?...well, to me it is.

Car loans may be getting easier to come by, but that doesn't mean they are always a good deal.
Banks and lenders may still be reluctant to lend to all but the most creditworthy homebuyers, but they're increasingly doling out money to consumers buying cars, including borrowers with low credit scores, according to a report today in The Wall Street Journal. These looser standards are likely responsible for the 5.7% increase in total outstanding car loans Experian reports for the second-quarter compared to a year ago.
But with many borrowers facing sky high rates, advisers say the loans are far from affordable. Indeed, while car loan interest rates for borrowers with near-perfect credit remain at around 3% on average, buyers with bad credit pay up to 10 percentage points extra, according to Experian. During the first quarter of this year, borrowers who signed up for a new car loan and had credit scores ranging from 620 to 679 received an average rate of 6.5%, while those with scores from 550 to 619 got a 9.9% average rate, and borrowers with scores below 550 signed up for a 12.9% rate on average. (Scores are based on the PLUS score range of 330 to 830.)
For the many borrowers with bad credit — nearly one-half of auto loans were subprime (that's borrowers with a score below 680) in the first quarter, according to most recent data from Experian — "it's hard to see how that's a good proposition," says Chris Kukla, senior counsel for government affairs at the Center for Responsible Lending. Buyers, after all, pay thousands of dollars extra in interest over the life of their loan. On an average $25,995 car loan, a borrower in the highest credit bracket with a 3.2% rate will pay $2,323 in interest over 64 months of repaying the loan (the average repayment period) while a borrower with a 12.9% rate will pay roughly $10,100 in interest.
Lenders counter that extending car loans to subprime borrowers is the first step to loosening credit overall standards. "It shows a sign of optimism on the part of banks and lenders," says Robert Strand, senior economist at the American Bankers Association. Car loans present a smaller risk to banks because they're a smaller dollar amount and are repaid over a faster period than mortgages, and if borrowers fall behind on payments repossessing a car is easier than a home, says Strand. They also present a profit opportunity given the spread between the low rates banks pay out to consumers on deposit accounts compared to the interest they earn from these loans.
Borrowers with high credit scores have several opportunities to save on car loans. Lender rates remain affordable at around 3% on average, according to Experian. In addition, they can qualify for rates of 0% to 1% at dealerships on many car models. For everyone else, here are four strategies to get a better deal on an auto loan.
Get approved for a loan before arriving at the dealership. Consumers with poor credit who need a new car might want to shop around for loans first and the cars second. Banks and credit unions tend to offer lower rates to these borrowers, says Alec Gutierrez, senior market analyst for automotive insights at Kelley Blue Book. When dealerships give out car loans, they often get them from banks and tack on an extra one to two percentage points that they keep as profit, Gutierrez says.
Wait until the fall. Borrowers who decide to go with a dealership may find it pays to wait. In September and October, most 2013 models will arrive at dealerships, and they'll roll out incentives to unload the remaining 2012 models, which could include lower rates on car loans. Borrowers with low credit scores could end up with a rate that's one to two percentage points lower than what they'd get now, Gutierrez says.
Make a larger down payment. Just like a mortgage, larger down payments often result in lower interest on car loans. Borrowers who have extra cash on hand should ask how their rate will change if they put more money down than they originally offered, or if they're planning on selling their existing car, they can trade it in at the dealership and use its value as part of the down payment on the new car, says Thomas King, a senior director who tracks vehicle sales transactions at J.D. Power and Associates.
Bite the bullet…and then refinance. Whatever rate they get, borrowers should keep in mind that it's not set in stone. If they're able to improve their credit score, they can refinance into a lower rate. Most banks and credit unions refinance car loans. And unlike refinancing mortgages, borrowers don't incur hefty fees when refinancing a car loan.

Lady Flames rowing makes program history at Head of South
November 11, 2012 | Augusta, Ga.
Liberty University Crew competed at the Head of the South in Augusta, Ga., Saturday, Nov. 10, for the last race of the fall season. Both the men's and women's teams had strong showings, but the Lady Flames earned the spotlight, breaking a program record twice and medaling in two events.
In the women's varsity eight, the premiere division in women's racing, the Lady Flames won the silver medal in a six-boat field, shattering the program record for a 5K course with a time of 18 minutes 41.19 seconds. This was the first varsity medal finish for Liberty in women's eight. The Lady Flames' previous record of 18:56 was set in 2009.
Later in the day, Liberty beat in-state rival Virginia Tech head-to-head in the championship women's eight division, breaking its record once again with at time of 18:34.07. The Lady Flames won by more than 90 seconds.
Liberty's women's novice eight also made program history by claiming its first medal in that division, winning silver against 14 boats after narrowly losing to the University of Georgia by 14 seconds with a time of 20:10.
In the women's championship four division, the Lady Flames went one-on-one with Virginia Tech. Liberty's novice rowers competed against the Hokies' top four varsity rowers, but still came on top by 32 seconds with a time of 21:20.
A unique event Liberty attempted at the Head of the South was the mixed four and mixed eight, in which 50 percent of the rowers are male and 50 percent are female. Though Liberty's program does not train for these events, the Flames finished fourth in both.
The Flames men's crew team faced some very fast programs and proved to be competitive.
In the men's club four Liberty placed seventh out of 13 with a time of 19:38.16. With minimal rest the Flames re-entered the water for a head-to-head with Virginia Tech in the championship four. The rested Hokies won that event.
The Flames finished sixth in the men's lightweight four, at 19:29.49, facing a very competitive field.
In the club eight division, Liberty mixed varsity and novice rowers and still managed to hold off a Clemson varsity boat to finish seventh at 18:41.
In the championship eight, with a full varsity team, the Flames improved their time to 17:52.72, but finished last in the event, in which they faced Virginia Tech and the College of Charleston.

T206 Reference, Reflections......The "MONSTER" Master Set achievement....check-it-out
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * T206 REFERENCE....Reflections, Theory's, Surveys, etc. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
.... Sweet Caporal .... Sovereign .......... Piedmont____The "House" that created these Tobacco cards__American Beauty ... Sovereign .......... UZIT
This thread will provide references to major contributions posted on Net54 these past 14 years that have formed a better understanding of "The Monster" [as Bill Heitman
so aptly coined his T206 book (circa 1980)].
Let's start with the 2005-2006 publication of Scot Reader's Inside T206
An excellent, very informative, and well written book that inspired many of us Net54ers to post our experiences and theory's regarding the complexities of the T206 series.
One of the early and very significant T206 threads was posted in June 2006 by Barry Arnold, titled T206 EPDG- - - how rare in your collection ?
This thread sparked lots of brainstorming among Net54ers regarding T206's. It included surveys; and, various aspects of the T206 series were explored.....resulting in 363
meaningful posts. Furthermore, between many of us Net54ers, it was "the start of of a beautiful friendship" (to quote Claude Raines to Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca).
In the Summer of 2006, Bill Brown posted his T206 Super-Set (excel) spreadsheet. Bill received 1000's of inputs from Net54ers for this spreadsheet. It was a great start
in the pursuit of what a T206 "master" set would be comprised of....T206 Super-Set
Sept 2007, I started a thread titled Joe Doyle NAT'L and it's 11 "cousins"....SURVEY to explore certain PIEDMONT 350 cards that I considered as rare as the Joe Doyle
"error" card. I eventually referred to these particular T206's as the Elite 11
Subsequent posts in this thread will expand on theory's regarding the structure of the T206 series and the front/back permutations that have resulted. A fair number of the
theory's presented on Net54 (since 2006) have withstood the test of time. Providing accurate lists of which front/back combos were printed. And, which ones are No-Prints.
So, stay tuned......many more T206 "oldies but goodies" References and Reflections will be posted here.
And, feel free to contribute any meaningful T206 stories, or experiences collecting T206's that you have.

In this thread, I've tried to present some very complex aspects of the Series structure of the T206 set in a style which is understandable to most of the T206 collectors.
However, if not clear, don't be shy about asking questions. Post your questions on this thread. Or, email me directly with your questions.... email@example.com
In either event, I will gladly do my best to provide you clear and meaningful answer(s).

all six are SOVEREIGN cards
Nov 2006, Barry Sloate informed me that he had acquired a T206 collection including 300 cards with Sovereign backs. These cards would be in his November auction. I won
262 of these cards (including 38 HOFers). Having 60 - Sovereign cards to start with, I was determined to complete this set. I do not need the "Big 6", nor Lundgren, nor the
Southern Leaguers (48 cards), I thought this project would be easy. However, early in this game I realized that the big challenge would be to figure out which subjects were
Not Printed with Sovereign backs.
By the Fall of 2007, I had completed this Sovereign set....and, I was confident that I had figured out which T206's were not printed with Sovereign backs. And, I am happy
to say that my list of No-Prints have withstood the test of time.
A complete SOVEREIGN-only set comprises of 402 different subjects. And, if you are really "gung ho"....go for a master SOVEREIGN set comprising of 476 cards
During the Sovereign press runs, American Litho (ALC) introduced a new feature into the T206's....the 350/460 series. ALC selected from the 350-only series 6 subjects **.
And, printed them with Sovereign 460 backs during the printing of the 460-only series (46 subjects).
Note that the Sovereign 460 versions of these 6 subjects are considerably tougher to find relative to the regular 46 subjects in the 460-only series.
Shown here are these 6 subjects......
The 350/460 story continues in the following post with a complete array display of the 66 subjects (with Sovereign 350 backs) which ALC designated for the 350/460 series.
** Note.. Scot Reader's excellent research revealed that these 6 subjects were printed in larger quantities, and with more Tobacco brands than any of the other subjects in
the T206 set. In his book titled "Inside T206", Scot identifies these 6 guys as the " Super-Prints ".

Continuing from post #2, illustrated here are the 66 subjects that American Lithographic selected for the 350/460 series. American Litho printed
the backs of these 66 cards using an apple green colored ink (instead of the deep green seen on the backs of all the other SOVEREIGN cards).
For more info on this topic, check-out this thread posted in 2009....Sovereign phantom "350/460" series
Here is my concept of a 72-card sheet arrangement of these 66 subjects (Super-Prints are double-printed **)

The next two posts will get more into the "nitty-gritty" of this mystifying 350/460 series......especially regarding their front/back combos.
** Note
I show the super-prints Double-Printed (D-P) on this sheet, since several large T206 surveys have indicated that the 6 super-prints were D-P.

350/460 series subjects
Now, continuing our study of the 63 subjects in the 350/460 series.....although 22 T-brands were illustrated in the previous post, not all the 63 subjects were printed
with the rare AMERICAN BEAUTY 460, BROAD LEAF 460, Red HINDU, and UZIT backs.
A theory was first presented in a thread posted April 2010 which hypothesized that the AB 460 and UZIT cards were printed as pairs. Also, BL 460 and red HINDU cards
were printed as pairs. Furthermore, these two sets of pairs are mutually exclusive. Refer to.... 350/460 mutually-exclusive cards ....post #14.
I've constructed the following scans of the 350/460 series subjects in order to illustrate how the mutually-exclusive 460-type (rare) backs in this series resulted from
American Lithographic separating these 63 subjects into two print groups.
Group A of the 350/460 series includes 35 subjects printed and issued with these four 460-type backs (circa..late 1910 > early 1911).
. . .
Factory #25 VA ......................... Factory#42 N.C.
Conversely, these 35 subjects were NOT PRINTED with.... AMERICAN BEAUTY 460....UZIT
Group A
Group B
Group B of the 350/460 series includes 28 subjects printed and issued with these two 460-type backs (circa..Feb-Mar 1911).
Conversely, these 28 subjects were NOT PRINTED with.. SWEET CAPORAL 460 Factory 25.. SWEET CAPORAL 460 Factory 42.. red HINDU.. BROAD LEAF 460
Refer to post #5 in this thread which displays a T206 collection of 33 different "scrap subjects" coinciding with the cards of Group A shown above......
....why certain T-brands are mutually-exclusive
Stay tuned for the next Reference or Reflections. New topic....I'll surprise you ?

Hey Pete
Thanks for the "awesome"....it's one of my favorite adjectives.
Judging from your scan, we both collect similar pieces of colorful cardboard (besides BB cards).
Take care......hope to see you at the National this summer.
Good stuff Ted. Here's a snippet from one of my favorite T206 discovery threads. It was a 2008 thread--started by you--where what I call the "southern league paradox" was resolved collectively by the Net54 research community. Jamie Hull was a major contributor.

Oilers 1, Stars 3 – Game 64 – 2012-03-02 @ 7:30 PM MST – TSN
The return of Studly Wonderbomb. Will Rexall faithful give him some applause? Ha! I kid. Of course they will boo him. It's what we do here. Even the greats such as Mark Messier went through that. You can bet that the guy that forced the Oilers to trade him will get booed. I'm well over this whole Souray mess though, so I wish him the best in any game not vs. the Oilers. But there is no better example of an Oiler going from goat to hero to despicable mess all in a short time frame. He once was a regrettable trade.. then he became a guy we could easily see as captain here… then he became "get him the f— away from our childrenses!!!". Oi. Edmonton, you are an interesting hockey town.
Anyways, lines have been significantly juggled. Lennart Petrell is playing with the Nuge and Eberle. Really, anyone can play with those two and come out with several goals. Anything less than a hat trick tonight is a disappointment, Lennart. No pressure. Gagner will also center Hall and Hemsky.. and well… ditto when it comes to scoring with those two. Smyth, Horcoff and Eager will make up a new grind-checking line. I believe Jones will make up the rest of the mediocrity line.
Khabi gets the start tonight.

As so rightly affirmed by Reiki Grandmaster Dishaa, a young and dynamic lady, an M.B.A turned natural healing expert from Chandigarh (India) for whom life has always been a 'Love for the Moment' which is beautiful yet compassionate...
Here is a simple overview for conducting a distant Reiki healing session.
1. Be sure that you will not be interrupted, then make yourself comfortable and relax into a meditative state.
2. Ground and protect yourself.
3. Ask for guidance and assistance from your spiritual healing team (which can include your guides, angels, ascended masters and teachers, Reiki masters and teachers and the universal source, etc.).
4. You will use visualization (your imagination) during the process.
5. Set and affirm your intention. (E.g. release headache pain, release toxins or energy blockages, strengthen blood flow, stabilize blood pressure, induce faster healing for a "set" broken leg, create new healthy cells, etc.)
6. To consciously direct and start the transmission of Reiki distant healing, visualize or draw while intoning three times, silently or aloud, Hon-Sha-Ze-Sho-Nen (the distant symbol, pronounced Hon-Shaw-Zay-Show-Nen). Its purpose is to trigger the distant healing, plus it eliminates distance through time and space.
7. Next, visualize or draw while intoning three times, Sei-He-Ki (the emotional symbol, pronounced Say-Hay-Key). Its purpose is to provide emotional healing.
8. Next, visualize or draw while intoning three times, Cho-Ku-Rei (the power symbol, pronounced Choh-Koo-Ray). Its purpose is to increase the power of the healing energy.
9. Lastly, for those who have learned Reiki Master Level, visualize or draw while intoning three times Dai-Ko-Myo (this is the non-traditional Usui master symbol, pronounced Die-Coe-Me-Oh). It is is a universal all-purpose healing symbol, which removes pain and disease.
10. If you are using a surrogate prop, you can also draw these over or onto the prop. Note: For those who only have Reiki Level 1, be assured that you can still do Reiki distant healing, because during your initiation the symbols were permanently placed within your aura and are automatically directed through your intention for their specific function or use. Remember, it's your focus and intention that directs and influences the healing.
11. Next, ask permission from the recipient. In your mind's eye, you will receive a signal such as a smile, a nod, a green light for a "yes" affirmation or a red light, stop sign or head shaking signalling a "no" answer. Note: If you receive a "no" reply, then send the Reiki healing energy to the recipient's guides with the intention that the healing energy will be re-directed to the recipient at the appropriate time.
12. If you visualize the recipient on a table, then proceed with hand or pendulum scanning that will indicate energy level inconsistencies.
13. Proceed using the basic hand positions in whatever order you are inclined to use. Pay attention to your intuition and follow its guidance.
14. Be mindful to any messages or impressions (what you hear, what you see, what you feel, what you sense, what you smell or what you taste) that you may receive during treatment. Be careful to avoid over-analyzing what you receive and also avoid editing.
15. When finished, sweep or smooth the recipient's auric (energy) field.
16. Re-scan to check for improvements to the recipient's energy level and if there are still major inconsistencies, apply additional Reiki energy to that specific area.
17. If necessary, sweep the auric field again.
18. Place and protect the recipient in a healing bubble of colour (whatever you are drawn to use).
19. Give thanks and gratitude to your healing team.
20. Dis-connect your energy from the recipient's by cleansing yourself (use your favourite technique).
21. Record the details of your healing session.
22. Within a few days contact the recipient, or whoever requested the healing, to discuss and confirm the results of the Reiki distant healing. Feedback will help raise and encourage your confidence level as a Reiki distant healer.

Shrink wrapping your boat for winter may not be an impossible task for a DIYer. Depending on the size, two or more persons armed with a few tools and instructions can easily accomplish a boat shrink wrap in a few hours. The task will go smoothly if you supplement the appropriate amount of shrink wrap and heat gun with a few, well-chosen extras. Wholesale Marine carries everything that boating enthusiasts require for enjoyment on the water, and to maintain their craft as well. Before you tackle a boat shrink wrap project, call us for some essentials you might not have thought about.
Our boating specialists recommend that before you begin, tape all fuel vents. This will prevent off gases, created when heating the wrap, from causing a potentially dangerous situation. Shrinkwrap International has a Shrinkwrap Vent for just this purpose. You can never have too much shrink wrap tape. Shrinkwrap International offers tape in blue or white to coordinate with the wrap color you choose. If you think you'll want to access your boat while it is "under wraps", Wholesale Marine also stocks a 48" Zippered Shrink Wrap Door and a 36" size as well. Do not think that your family's crafting heat gun will work for this task. Invest in the Big Red Shrink Wrap Heat Gun and have uniform heating for a professional-worthy boat shrink wrap.
Shrink wrapping your boat is no time to run out of strapping! We carry ¾" Strapping in 2100-Foot Rolls that will see you through several seasons of wrapping your boat! Another item you do not want to run out of are ¾" or ½" Buckles. We sell these in packs of 100, so be sure to have a few on hand. How about a Cutting Knife designed just for boat shrink wrapping? It will stand up to tough wrapping material and is safe and easy to use. Protect your hands from cold temps and heat gun burns with heavy-duty Leather Shrink Wrapping Gloves. You'll be glad you did. For this and other great advice, or to place an order, give us a call M-F, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM EST at (877) 388-2628 - we look forward to hearing from you!

Umpires have struck a deal that will have the top earners among their ranks making as much as $150,000 per season by 2016.
That would include bonus payments for field umpires who officiate in finals and the grand final.
Top boundary and goal umpires will make about $60,000.
The five-year agreement includes a backdated seven per cent pay rise for this year, with further five, four, three and three per cent increases over the next four seasons.
"Umpire recruitment and retention is a major challenge for our game and we hope that this agreement for umpires provides the platform for an appealing and supportive environment for any AFL umpire," AFL football operations manager Adrian Anderson said.
AFL umpires association (AFLUA) chief executive Peter Howe said while umpires worked part-time, often in combination with other jobs, they deserved their new pay deal for what is a demanding and time-consuming profession.
The 32 field umpires had only a six-week break before starting pre-season training.
In season, along with match duties and two weekly training nights, they are given individual training programs and attend frequent coaching sessions.
"If you just look at the salaries in isolation and you don't look at the work expected, you might get the wrong idea," Howe said.
The AFLUA and AFL are also discussing a potential move towards full-time umpires, although Howe said there was debate as to whether decision-making would improve enough to make it worthwhile.
They are also devising ways to educate umpires on handling integrity threats such as approaches from bookmakers.

ORISE can cover participants' travel costs for conferences, training events, sampling expeditions, and other travel that will promote the educational goals of the appointment, provided that the mentor and program coordinator approve the trip's purpose and estimated cost. Participant travel will be in accordance with the ORAU/ORISE Travel Policy.
Planning your trip
As soon as a trip is planned and has been verbally approved by your mentor, you should complete the online Travel Authorization Request form (TAR). Print the final page of this form, and have it signed by the CDC program coordinator. Scan the completed form to email@example.com. (An email from the program coordinator to firstname.lastname@example.com approving the trip may be substituted for the signature.)
Once ORISE has received your TAR and the program coordinator's approval, we will begin processing your travel request. If you choose, we can purchase your airfare for you directly. Our travel agent will locate the best-priced itinerary that meets your scheduling needs, and e-mail the itinerary to you for your approval. No tickets will be purchased until you have approved them.
Rental vehicles will be approved only if there is a business justification, and other modes of transportation are not available. We strongly recommend that you allow ORISE to reserve the rental vehicle for you, so the vehicle will be covered under our corporate insurance policy. Insurance policies purchased through the rental company are not reimbursable. More information on approved expenses may be found in the ORISE Travel Manual.
Cash Advances
If you pay your own registration fee (for conferences, training sessions, etc.), ORISE can reimburse you that cost before the trip has been completed. Please submit proof of payment and indicate the cost of the registration in the cash advance section of the TAR. You will receive this advance shortly after we have processed your TAR.
You may also request a cash advance up to the amount of your per diem. This advance will be direct deposited into your account shortly before your departure. To find per diem rates for various localities, visit the GSA website or contact email@example.com.
If you receive a cash advance, and your trip is cancelled or the costs are less than estimated, you will be required to return the advance to ORISE.
ORISE cannot prepay hotel costs.
Travel Reimbursements
Within ten days of the completion of your trip, please complete the Travel Expense Statement (TES). Mail the completed TES and all necessary receipts to:
ORAU Travel Central
PO Box 117, MS-36
Oak Ridge, TN 37831-0117
Original receipts are required; we will not be able to process your reimbursement until they have arrived in the mail.
Once we have received all of the necessary documents, you can expect to receive your reimbursement in approximately two weeks. It will be direct deposited into the same account where you receive your stipend payments.
Personal Travel
Participants are permitted to add personal travel days in conjunction with business travel provided that it is approved by the mentor and program coordinator. The Travel Central Team (firstname.lastname@example.com) will do a cost comparison for business-only travel versus business-with-personal travel. The participant will be responsible for all costs that exceed the business-only travel estimate.

The campaign to eliminate the boll weevil as a pest of cotton in the United States appears to be back on track following passage of a referendum to begin the maintenance phase of eradication in Mississippi's Region 1A.
It was the third time growers in Leflore, Quitman, Sunflower, Tunica and west Tallahatchie Counties in the north Delta had voted on the referendum. The first, in June, produced a favorable vote of 55 percent, and the second, in August, 65.95 percent, neither of which satisfied the 66.67 percent requirement for passage.
In the latest, 89 percent of the growers and landlords casting ballots in 1A voted for the maintenance program, the highest approval rating recorded for an eradication referendum in Mississippi.
Some credited the Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce's warning that it would quarantine cotton produced in the region if another vote failed with providing the impetus for passage. That may be, although such threats typically tend to work against approval in highly charged situations. It's more likely the rise in cotton prices while farmers were voting and this year's higher cotton yields were responsible.
Roger Carter, a consultant from Clayton, La., in the Louisiana Delta, referred to the latter in his weekly newsletter. "The Boll Weevil Eradication Program contributed immensely to our yields," he wrote. "We're now making cotton in the top that we didn't make prior to boll weevil eradication."
In every referendum, opponents have argued they didn't spend enough money on boll weevil control to justify the $22 to $35 an acre they would be charged for eradication. But, in almost every case, yields have gone up after the program reduced weevil numbers.
Opponents have also complained about high salaries paid to program employees, the purchase of new trucks for program supervisors, lack of response to complaints about scouts, failure to spray quickly enough in areas with high trap captures, etc.
No program involving as many part-time employees and covering as many acres as the BWEP will be problem-free. The complaints notwithstanding, the program has been hugely successful, as witnessed by the fact that only one boll weevil was found in the eradicated area east of the Mississippi-Alabama line in 2003.
The failure to pass the maintenance referendum in regions 1A and 1B on the first try was troubling to eradication proponents who were concerned that all the effort of the past five years in the north Delta could be wasted.
Some entomologists were also worried about the amount of boll weevil spraying that might be required if the area became re-infested with the pest. That and the still contentious situation where the program was just initiated in northeast Arkansas gave some pause that the national effort to eliminate the weevil could be disrupted.
The passage of the latest referendum in Region 1A and the reports of successful spraying in the two northeast Arkansas counties should go a long way toward easing those fears.

Production of the Mustang began in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the car was introduced to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd oldest nameplate currently in production. Initial sales forecasts projected less than 100,000 systems for the very first year. This mark was surpassed in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be sold throughout the design year (a record), and in its very first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were built.
Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, however several changes were made at the traditional opening of the new design year (beginning August 1964), including the addition of back-up lights on some models, the intro of alternators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu into 289 cu in. When it comes to a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production included some unusual quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design below a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These attributes made sufficient distinction to warrant designation of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has withstood with purists. Mustangs For Sale in Cedar Falls NC are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more rigid contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the very first time in vehicle history that the Big 3 were having to take on imports. The brand-new Mustang II was smaller sized than the very first variation however, due to the added equipment required to fulfill brand-new United States emission and security policies, was heavier than the first model. Efficiency was lowered and in the first year only 385,993 cars were sold.
2nd generation Mustangs for sale in Cedar Falls NC were available between 1974 and 1978 and offered in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was upgraded a 3rd time. This time it was based on the bigger Fox platform and the interior was actually large enough for 4 people. The trunk was larger therefore was the engine bay. The body styles readily available included a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang functioned as an Indianapolis 500 rate vehicle and Ford constructed 10,478 celebratory reproductions. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

Please listen up. We are all being conned by the Obama administration. This year, the American taxpayer will fork over about $571 billion to pay for educating children in the nation's public schools. All told, the country spends close to $16,000 per student every year on primary through college education. That's the highest per-student spending rate in the world.
However, according to President Barack Obama, it's not enough. He wants more tax dollars, especially for "early education." He said so in his State of the Union address, and it drew big-time applause from his crew. Of course we need to spend more on education. And anyone who opposes that hates kids!
The centerpiece of the president's early-education vision is the Head Start program, which has been in place since 1965. Over the past 48 years, the feds have spent close to $200 billion on Head Start. But there's one big problem: The program is not working.
According to a recent study by the Department of Health and Human Services, by the end of third grade, Head Start children remain academically disadvantaged compared to their same-age peers. So why did Obama not mention that? Why is he still pounding the drum for more funding for a program that is not cutting it?
The answer is social engineering.
Obama will not say this, but one of his devoted followers, Columbia University Professor Joseph Stiglitz, will. What the left really wants is to redistribute income through the public education system.
In a recent New York Times column, Stiglitz called for:
� More spending on preschool education.
� More spending on before- and after-class programs.
� More entitlements to ensure that pregnant women are protected from "environmental hazards." That means increased payments to prospective moms for better food, housing and medical care.
And the topper:
� Direct cash payments to parents of poor children who make sure their kids participate in school programs and show up for class. If that ever comes to be, America essentially will be paying parents to parent.
It is all about control. Obama believes the deck in America is stacked against the poor and wants to get lower-income citizens as much cash and as many entitlements as he can. Masking those payments under "more money for education" is a clever way to do that.
It is certainly true that poor children have a much tougher academic road than affluent kids. And smart educational policy can close that gap. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush told me the reason Head Start is not delivering is that it doesn't concentrate enough on reading. In many school districts, it is primarily a babysitting service.
As a former high school teacher and a student in a class of 60 urchins at St. Brigid's grammar school, I know that education is all about discipline and motivation. Disadvantaged students need extra attention, a stable school environment and enough teacher creativity to stimulate their imaginations. Those things are not expensive.
But that's not all of what federal education spending is about, is it? It's also about redistributing income. We are being conned big time. And it's the kids who suffer the most because of it.

Some quick Q&As
Generally speaking, yes. Using common sense means you'll probably get out of Thailand in one piece. Violent crime against foreigners occasionally takes place, but overall it's safe and women in particular find they feel more secure than in the west. The biggest problems are petty theft, scams and traffic accidents.
Some sensible actions to take:
1) Wear helmets when riding motorcycles or bikes
2) Don't stray into higher crime areas
3) Don't get drunk and pick fights with bar staff
4) Don't travel on the roads during the Thai new year break, Songkran, in April.
Regarding the ongoing protests and closure of Bangkok's international airports in later November 2008, while Thailand remains safe, if has become far more difficult to get in and out of. While the airports remain closed, the best option is for travellers to either make their way out of the country overland, or to head to one of the southern airports which offer international flights allowing one to reach regional hubs like Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.
The airport closures have been caused by the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) -- an anti-government group -- that has been campaigning for the current administration to stand down. The airport closures are just the latest step in their escalating campaign. The long-festering dispute has left Thai society polarised, with very strong, bordering on irrational, emotions felt on all sides. Matters have been further complicated by the government appearing to have lost control of the Thai Army (who have also called for the government to stand down).
For now, outside of the gross inconvenience of having the international airports closed, Thailand remains safe to travel in. However, we'd say the situation is fluid and changing rapidly -- and you'd be well advised to keep a close eye on news developments coming out of the Kingdom.
We've a feature story and a number of threads on the Travelfish forum, containing updates and advice:
How to plan around Thailand's civil unrest

skc@nonesuchbakery needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 278 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
Nonesuch Bakery
We are launching an "allergen-free" bakery this fall in a major metropolitan city and need a modern, playful yet simple logo. All of our products are gluten-free, wheat-free, dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free and peanut-free, and yes, they are still absolutely delicious! We focus on cookies, cakes, cupcakes, brownies, and other fun sweets - not savory breads and other types.
Most of our competitors lean "crunchy and granola" in branding and product offering. We want to be the alternative. An affordable indulgence with great brand recognition that is current and hip.
Our customer may or may not have food intolerances and is looking for a safe yet decadent treat that would satisfy any sweet tooth and sophisticated palate. Our customers might include:
- a child who wants cupcakes for his birthday party but has a wheat intolerance while two of his friends have a peanut allergy
- a lady-who-lunches who swears by a gluten-free diet that make her feel fabulous
- a non-angry vegan who is tired of hemp cakes and wants something fun and mainstream to indulge in
- a discerning foodie who cannot believe that a cake or cookie without flour, butter, and eggs can still taste good
- a nursing mom with a wicked sweet tooth whose infant is allergic to dairy and therefore temporarily cannot ingest any dairy products herself
We need a logo that can represent the Nonesuch Bakery brand on different media – web site, product packaging, business cards, etc.
Logo Style Guide:
Colors: eggplant purple and black OR single color logo in eggplant
Adjectives: modern, playful, simple, and gender neutral (most bakeries lean feminine – we want something fun but not too girly!)
Font: all lower case letters "nonesuch bakery"
Icon: one icon that is simple and graphic that works with our color scheme and brand-feel for the logo (e.g. - an apron, rolling pin, cake or cookie are suggestions – we are indifferent about cupcake logos as there are so many already out there), or even no icon with a strong lettered logo?
Tagline: depending on the logo design, we may want to include the following tagline so please include logo designs with and without the tagline: gluten-free, wheat-free, dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free, peanut-free (do not use commas to distinguish the terms – plain, round bullet point or some other design is okay)
Inspiration: Here are samples of the kind of style we like:
Other Considerations: our logo may be printed on kraft brown paper packaging – which is simple and earthy – "rough modern" if you will. It could also be printed on white or ivory paper/labels/etc.
File Formats: we need all file formats for all creative media (e.g. Adobe, CMYK, jpeg, etc.)

Answering Common Oral Hiring Board Questions
Dr. Richard Weinblatt
5) Tell me about a weakness you have. What you need to do here is truthfully relate a weakness that in law enforcement circles is perceived actually as a virtue. For example, "I am a workaholic" or "I am sometimes too mission focused. I won't give up until the job is done." These might be problems if you were "interviewing" on a first date, but in the police world it is a nice fit.
We look for people whose weaknesses as perceived by the general population work in the challenging setting of policing in a democratic society. Someone that won't stop until the mission is accomplished is thought of as being obsessive in the general population, but is heralded as a survivor and winner in the police field.
6) Legal elements. If you have graduated already from a basic law enforcement academy, you may be hit with this item, as well as number seven below. You may be asked to list the elements of commonly encountered criminal law statutes. Be familiar with the elements or components that comprise burglary, robbery, and other crimes that officers contend with.
7) Legal concepts. Be able to explain legal concepts. Be sure that you understand them and are not just regurgitating a definition from a textbook or statute book. For example, can you define the difference between reasonable suspicion and probable cause, as well as misdemeanor and felony.
8) Policing concepts. Be familiar with the policing concepts that drive your target agency. A read of their website (which hopefully is up to date) and materials in the lobby should clue you as to their approach. Are they community policing oriented? If so, they may ask you what community policing means to you. Understand their website's interpretation, but personalize it in terms of what it means to you. Figure out if the agency is proactive or reactive in their approach to calls for police service.
An area that comes up in some oral boards concerns the use of deadly force. Be familiar with not only your area's statutory requirements for the use of deadly force, but also think through the ethical and moral implications for yourself. By reflecting on this tragic but oftentimes present aspect of your chosen profession, you'll be a more mature candidate for the post.
There are many more questions or statements that oral panels put out for applicants to respond to, including ethical situations. This column addressed some of the more common ones that you might encounter.
I have seen firsthand how practicing your responses to these oral panel situations have lead to dramatic improvement. While I don't advocate a memorized approach, being familiar in general with how to respond will free you to have a compelling delivery that will captivate the panel members. It is at that point, that they will have a feel for your character and the sort of law enforcer that you can be for their agency. A good oral panel interview will help you to get that opportunity.

The vast majority of Library resources can be accessed from off campus by connecting to them through Library webpages like Databases@Emory or Ejournals@Emory University Libraries. However, if you would like to access databases and other resources directly, there are a few options available.
- LibX has a very convenient proxy function and is very easy to use. It allows you to reload any webpage through Emory Librarys' proxy server. Please see the research guide for information about installation and capabilities.
- EzProxy is a convenient solution for creating off-campus accessible URLs. To access a URL through EzProxy, please use the prefix url "http://proxy.library.emory.edu/login?url=" , followed by the URL you wish to link.
Examples of EzProxy links:
Jstor (jstor.org): http://proxy.library.emory.edu/login?url=http://www.jstor.org
Tim Otto Roth. and Andreas Haungs. "Cosmic Revelation." Leonardo 42.3 (2009): 288-289. Accessed through Project Muse (muse.jhu.edu) http://proxy.library.emory.edu/login?url=http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/leonardo/v042/42.3.roth.html
Note: You do not need to add an EzProxy link to any websites that are freely available on the Internet. In fact, linking to free resources through the EzProxy server will prevent users from reaching these websites from off campus.
- OpenURL Generator: Emory Librarys has an OpenURL Generator to help instructors and students generate off-campus accessible URLs to ejournal articles. The OpenURL Generator is prefereble to ezproxy, because it automatically searches all Emory resourecs in order to provide multiple access options.
- VPN Proxy: Emory's Virtual Private Network Proxy (VPN Proxy) provides off-campus users with secure access to the Emory University's internal network. Emory VPN access uses a web browser to establish the remote access connection. It secures traffic by encrypting communications.
Access: Requires a network ID and password.
Note: The VPN Proxy cannot be accessed from on campus and is not compatible with the Google Chrome browser or any 64-bit browsers. Even if you use the VPN Proxy, you will still need to connect to library resources by using either EZProxy or by linking through the library website.
Access URL: https://vpnproxy.emory.edu
Problems? Check out our VPN Troubleshooting Guide.
Questions: Call the IT Service Desk at 404-727-7777 (Emory University employees and students) or 404-778-4357 (Emory Healthcare employees).
Appropriate use: Emory University licensed resources are only for the educational use of current Emory University students, faculty, and staff, subject to the terms of the individual contracts and contract law. Use for commercial purposes or systematic downloading, printing, saving, or distribution (in any format) of substantial portions of any of these resources is prohibited.

text: Friday, July 01, 2011 New in the Literature: Spinal Cord Injury (Spinal Cord. 2011 May 3. [Epub ahead of print]) Gait training with body weight support was more effective than conventional physical therapy for improving the spatial-temporal and kinematic gait parameters among patients with incomplete spinal cord injuries, say authors of an article published online in Spinal Cord. This single-blind randomized, controlled clinical study enrolled 30 patients with sequelae from traumatic incomplete spinal cord injuries at least 12 months earlier. Participants were able to walk and were classified according to motor function as ASIA (American Spinal Injury Association) impairment scale C or D. Researchers randomly divided participants into 2 groups of 15, group A (weight support) and group B (conventional). After an initial assessment, both groups underwent 30 sessions of gait training. Sessions occurred twice a week, lasted for 30 minutes, and continued for 4 months. A single blinded examiner evaluated the participants by using movement analysis to measure angular and linear kinematic gait parameters. Six patients (3 from group A, 3 from group B) were excluded because they attended fewer than 85% of the training sessions. There were no statistically significant differences in intra-group comparisons among the spatial-temporal variables in group B. In group A, researchers observed significant differences in the following spatial-temporal variables: increases in velocity; distance; cadence; step length; swing phase and gait cycle duration; in addition to a reduction in stance phase. There also were no significant differences in intra-group comparisons among the angular variables in group B. However, group A achieved significant improvements in maximum hip extension and plantar flexion during stance.

What's the Big Deal? You Be the Judge!!!
If you even mildly follow sports, you've heard about it, if not seen the video for yourself. Schwartz vs Harbough.
What's the big deal? Seriously...look at the video of Detroit Lion's head coach Jim Schwartz being "shoved out of the way" and tell me if anything looks abnormal and "fight worthy" about it. NOTHING. That's what you'll find.
This appears to be a COMPLETE overreaction on Schwartz's part. I mean, we can't hear what is being said between them, but it appears as though Harbough is being honest here.
He just got excited. He gave a hand shake and a back slap like he would a player...not a coach. If there's a problem, that's it. He didn't treat him like a coach. Is that really worthy of chasing him down the field, attempting to get up in his face? You decide. Watch the video here yourself.

The online listing shows that the 8X is available in red, black and blue and that this is for the 16GB version of the 8X. Which makes this a very nice deal when compared to AT&T and T-Mobile who are asking $199.99 for the 16GB version of the 8X.
You can find all the details on the Verizon 8X here at Verizon Wireless.
Thanks, everyone, for the tip!

I chose TutaPoint because the tutors are great and the service is excellent. The staff is always willing to help you and answer any questions you have regarding the services. Tutors are attentive and know their subject matters well. I will always choose TutaPoint over any other online service. I have had a great experience.
I chose TutaPoint for Algebra homework help because it was recommended by my school. I only tutored with Miss Amy, but I tutored a lot she was always available, and very helpful. I really needed the one on one time with a teacher. The interactive whiteboard made it easy to learn. I highly recommend TutaPoint!
I chose TutaPoint because the tutors on the site are very reliable and knowledgeable. I have been using TutaPoint for about 3-4 years and don't plan on leaving. When I have a test coming up, I know the tutors on the site are able to help me study for the test and give me extra practice to help me.
I enjoy TutaPoint online tutoring because it is extremely accessible. I can log on and work on anything from quick homework help to test prep. Online tutoring fits into my busy schedule and is great for students who are involved in extra-curricular activities. I have tried conventional, "sit-down" tutoring and after joining TutaPoint, I would never go back!
