This section will try to answer the most often asked questions I get.
Follow the links below for an indepth answer to each question.
My desktop turns on. I see no video?
I run into this more and more these days. Generally, you have two issues. First being your video cable. You can check that simply by seeing if it is connected, and if so connecting it to another system.
If your monitor works fine, then your next issue is the video chipset. More and more I find the newer HP, Dell, and Acer desktop systems use the same Nvidia chipsets as the laptop systems for the HP DV and TX series.
I also find that the add-on video cards, both ATI and Nvidia, have poor circulation fans if any at all, and the chipsets on those need to be reflowed also.
I also find the system may have a capacitor issue. It would display the same signs as a reflow.
To check, just take your cover off, and look at the capacitors. If they are bulging, leaking, or domed, you have a capacitor issue.
Systems that have this issue on a regular basis are Dell SX, GX, OptiPlex, and Dimension systems. I am seeing newer OptiPlex 740, which are AMD based systems, and OptiPlex 745, which are Intel based systems, with capacitor issues.

A New York City EMT was arrested after officers responding to a domestic dispute at his Brooklyn home found incendiary devices and other weapons, police say.
Authorities say 29-year-old Victor Cadicamo was arrested Thursday morning on charges of criminal possession of a weapon, menacing and harassment.
It wasn't immediately clear if Cadicamo had an attorney.
U.S. & World
The suspect's wife, also an EMT with FDNY, had called 911 after 9 a.m. to report her husband was threatening her with a gun, police said. The couple's toddler child was in the Brighton Beach house with them.
Responding officers found and confiscated two pipe bombs, five handguns and two rifles, authorities said. The building was evacuated as a precaution.
Neighbors who waited outside for seven hours while authorities went in were stunned by the allegations.
"We can't believe this. He's a nice guy," said Yasir Ullah.
Ullah said when his family first moved into the neighborhood, Cadicamo had told his father-in-law he had a gun. Ullah assumed Cadicamo was a police officer and says had no idea he had a cache containing so much firepower.
"I'm really scared for everyone, it's unexpected," he said.

Do not take quinapril if you are pregnant. If you become pregnant while taking quinapril, call your doctor immediately. Quinapril may harm the fetus.
Why is this medication prescribed?
Quinapril is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. It is used in combination with other medications to treat heart failure. Quinapril is in a class of medications called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It works by decreasing certain chemicals that tighten the blood vessels, so blood flows more smoothly and the heart can pump blood more efficiently.
High blood pressure is a common condition and when not treated, can cause damage to the brain, heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and other parts of the body. Damage to these organs may cause heart disease, a heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, loss of vision, and other problems. In addition to taking medication, making lifestyle changes will also help to control your blood pressure. These changes include eating a diet that is low in fat and salt, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising at least 30 minutes most days, not smoking, and using alcohol in moderation.
How should this medicine be used?
Quinapril comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once or twice a day. To help you remember to take quinapril, take it around the same time(s) every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take quinapril exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Your doctor will probably start you on a low dose of quinapril and gradually increase your dose, not more than once every 1 or 2 weeks.
Quinapril controls high blood pressure and heart failure but does not cure them. Continue to take quinapril even if you feel well. Do not stop taking quinapril without talking to your doctor.
Other uses for this medicine
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
What special precautions should I follow?
Before taking quinapril,
- Tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to quinapril; other ACE inhibitors such as benazepril (Lotensin, in Lotrel), captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec, in Vaseretic), fosinopril (Monopril), lisinopril (in Prinzide, in Zestoretic), moexipril (Univasc, in Uniretic), perindopril (Aceon), ramipril (Altace), and trandolapril (Mavik, in Tarka); any other medications; or any ingredients in quinapril tablets. Ask your pharmacist for a list of the ingredients.
- Tell your doctor if you have diabetes and you are taking aliskiren (Tekturna, in Amturnide, Tekamlo, Tekturna HCT). Your doctor will probably tell you not to take quinapril if you have diabetes and you are also taking aliskiren.
- Tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking. Be sure to mention any of the following: diuretics ('water pills'); lithium (Lithobid); potassium supplements; and tetracycline. Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects.
- Tell your doctor if you have or have ever had heart, liver, or kidney disease; diabetes; lupus; scleroderma (a condition in which extra tissue grows on the skin and some organs);or angioedema (condition that causes difficulty swallowing or breathing and painful swelling of the face, throat, tongue, lips, eyes, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs).
- Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding.
- If you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are taking quinapril.
- You should know that diarrhea, vomiting, not drinking enough fluids, and sweating a lot can cause a drop in blood pressure, which may cause lightheadedness and fainting.
What special dietary instructions should I follow?
Talk to your doctor before using salt substitutes containing potassium. If your doctor prescribes a low-salt or low-sodium diet, follow these directions carefully.
What should I do if I forget a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
What side effects can this medication cause?
Quinapril may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
- Dizziness
- Excessive tiredness
- Cough
- Upset stomach
- Vomiting
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of these symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
- Swelling of the face, throat, tongue, lips, eyes, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs
- Hoarseness
- Difficulty breathing or swallowing
- Yellowing of the skin or eyes
- Fever, sore throat, chills, and other signs of infection
- Chest pain
- Lightheadedness
- Fainting
Quinapril may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online (http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch) or by phone (1-800-332-1088).
What should I know about storage and disposal of this medication?
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of emergency/overdose
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Symptoms of overdose may include the following:
- Lightheadedness
- Fainting
What other information should I know?
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your blood pressure should be checked regularly to determine your response to quinapril. Your doctor may order certain lab tests to check your body's response to quinapril.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

DALLAS – Flight attendants and mechanics at American Airlines want to resume contract talks as a deadline nears for a federal judge to rule on whether the airline can impose its own terms on workers.
Separately, the pilots' union board was meeting Tuesday to reconsider whether to let members vote on American's final contract offer.
Tuesday's developments raised the prospect that American could negotiate voluntary cost-cutting deals with all three of its labour unions, which seemed unlikely just a week ago.
The Transport Workers Union said that negotiators for American's mechanics expected to meet soon with company officials. Last month, mechanics rejected a company offer that was approved by five smaller groups of ground workers.
The Association of Professional Flight Attendants said Monday night that it was seeking to resume negotiations too. Company spokesman Bruce Hicks said American looked forward to more talks with the flight attendants.
The unions are facing a Friday deadline for U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane to rule on whether American can throw out labour contracts and temporarily impose its own terms for pay, benefits and working conditions.
The judge has already postponed a decision twice, including a one-week delay until Friday to give the Allied Pilots Association more time to consider American's latest offer. The union said its board needed more clarification from American on some terms.
American had sweetened its offer to pilots, proposing a 17 per cent cut in pilot costs with no layoffs instead of an earlier 20 per cent cut that included eliminating 400 pilot jobs.
The unions all back a potential takeover of American parent AMR Corp. by US Airways Group Inc., which has offered fewer layoffs and other cuts than American proposed. AMR filed for bankruptcy protection in November.

Holding first the rabbinate of Plock and then that of Prague, he later settled at Warsaw, where he died. The author of "Shem ha-Gedolim he-Ḥadash" narrates that Aryeh Loeb promised on his deathbed to be a good advocate in heaven for those who should publish his writings, and that this promise was engraved upon his tombstone. The rabbi was the author of many works, most of which are still in manuscript, only the following two having been published: "Ya'alat Ḥen" (Prague, 1793), responsa; and "Ṭib Giṭṭin" (Warsaw, 1812), discussions on the "Geṭ Meḳushshar" of R. M. Bala. The "Ṭib Giṭṭin" was written when the author was eighteen years of age, and its decisions have been accepted in many places.

Brennan Nardi's Column: Volunteers Need (Free) Rides, Too
With funding for free transportation scarce, Schools of Hope is in jeopardy
By: Brennan Nardi
On the morning of Tuesday, June 5, twenty-four fourth and fifth graders fidgeted at their desks in Room 21 at Mendota Elementary. Ms. B was delivering instructions on the final writing assignment of the year: Pick something indigenous to Wisconsin and write a report on it. Javonna chose the historic state Capitol. Kaleigh picked African American settlement. Kylee went with loons of the north and Alonna with the scrappy scarlet tanager. Chloe took on the mighty badger while Dylan nabbed the ancient sturgeon of the Winnebago. All were wrestling with various stages of project completion: reading and note taking, introductions and main ideas, computer formatting and PowerPoints, feedback and, finally, the big grade.
At the other end of the hallway, past the blue lockers and the Election Day bake sale, a line of anxious recall voters was forming at the 35/36th district polling place, also known as the Mendota gymnasium, where a week later thirty-nine fifth graders would receive their graduation certificates from the principal, a hug from their teachers and a Sacagawea golden dollar from the PTO.
Down the stairs and across from the principal's office, the Schools of Hope coordinator's files record the names and hours of the citizen army of tutors who volunteer their time in this north side public school, one rich in social, economic, racial and cultural diversity and all the bubbling and churning humanity that comes with it.
As the neighborhood goes, so goes the school, and not more than twenty years ago Mendota was in trouble. But strong academic and administrative leadership combined with a city-backed neighborhood resuscitation plan rescued it, brought it back on track. Today, like most schools in the district, there are students with the greatest of needs mixed with students who will ace tests and life. My daughter and many of her Mendota classmates will enter middle school ready for the academic rigor. Perhaps more importantly, for the last six years they have honed the soft skills of positive social behavior that I hope will guide them through the rough waters of adolescence. God, how I hope so.
Madison Metropolitan School District superintendent Dan Nerad has characterized the community's struggle with the achievement gap as "a tale of two cities," and in my experience he is dead on. That's why mentoring and tutoring programs like Schools of Hope are so valuable, and so ingrained in our public school DNA. Unfortunately, a critical cadre of SOH volunteers might not return this fall. Every year UW–Madison supplies 900 student tutors who make a real and measurable difference in the lives of 1,000 MMSD students. More than half of the college students rely on a special transportation arrangement with Union Cab to get from campus to their school if it's off the bus line or if their commute is more than a forty-minute ride one-way.
Funding for the program, which is managed by the Morgridge Center for Public Service, has run out. The Center is looking for $66,000 to plug the hole for the 2012–2013 school year, but even if they find it (and they are soliciting donations right now) they are studying long-term solutions to sustain the program, which costs $120,000 per year. Why? Because according to a poll of students who use the service, only one in ten said they'd continue to volunteer at far-flung locations (which happen to be the sites with the highest needs) if they lost access to free transportation. I get it. I distinctly remember my short stint volunteering in an elementary school when I was in college. I had to find my own way there—on my bike in an unfamiliar city. I lasted exactly one day.
Sure, without subsidized transportation students will lose out on volunteerism and service learning opportunities, but there's more to it than that. Studies show this kind of experience raises college grades and retention rates, and the impact is disproportionately higher for students of underrepresented backgrounds. Of course, the biggest losers are the children in schools across the city, including Mendota, where there's a consistent need for extra hands in the classroom, despite excellent teachers and support staff.
If you want to help the Morgridge Center sustain the volunteer transportation program, which serves Schools of Hope as well as dozens of other area nonprofits working with children, the elderly and disabled adults, contact Megan Miller at (608) 262-8446 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ah, in like a lion, out like a…lion? Who the hell knows, anymore. With record breaking lows in temperature and nigh-thrice weekly snow events to one degree or another, it seems the Winter never ends. Perfect time to crack out some black metal, of which we have representatives aplenty, alongside the usual mix of AOR, traditional, death, pagan, neofolk and electronic oddities for your perusal.
So continuing with the motherlode of material (metal and otherwise) whose mixture of melliflous melodies and malignant malcontented mania make up our monthly monograph of musical offerings (pant pant…enough alliteration, already!), we continue on from the recent February Roundup straight in to its companion piece, covering a plethora of releases dropping this month through the middle of April.
While I'm sure there will be more releases to come over the next few weeks, I'm sure you'll agree we have plenty of material to cover herein already. So with a bow of due respect to the many labels involved, we proceed…

OBETZ, OH -- The Columbus Crew Reserves (2-4-1) lost 1-0 to the Montreal Impact Reserves (3-0-1) on an 87th-minute winner from Mircea Ilcu on Sunday morning at the Obetz Training Facility.
The Black & Gold peppered Montreal's keeper Evan Bush for much of the first half, but were unable to find the back of the net. Ethan Finlay provided the first major scoring chance for the Crew in the 21st-minute, pushing a one-on-one opportunity slightly wide of Bush's left goalpost.
In the 81st-minute, Crew midfielder Tony Tchani watched his penalty kick from the spot get tipped over the crossbar by Bush after Justin Meram was fouled inside the box to set up the chance from the spot. Six minutes later, Montreal's Mircea Ilcu sealed the match with a run down the left flank of the pitch as Ilcu's movement forced the Crew defense to crash towards the end line, allowing him to cut back into the vacant space and score the winner across the face of Crew 'keeper Matt Lampson.
The Crew Reserves return to action on Wednesday, July 10 at 7:30 p.m. ET against the Dayton Dutch Lions at Crew Stadium.

About the Registered Nursing/Registered Nurse Major
Nursing offers endless career possibilities for those who wish to improve the lives of others. Nursing majors learn to provide health care to sick and injured patients and promote wellness and healthy living.
Students can opt to focus in an area of specialty including, but by no means limited to, geriatrics, pediatrics, critical care, mental health, emergency room, and women's health. In addition to science and health care-focused coursework, nursing students complete classroom and laboratory assignments, as well as clinical internships in hospital and long-term health care facilities. After completing the required courses, students can further their chances of employment and career advancement by passing the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) to become a Registered Nurse (RN).
After graduation, employment opportunities for nurses are abundant. Newly minted nurses can find work in hospitals, physicians' offices, home health care services, and nursing care facilities. Many others work in schools, mental health clinics, and correctional facilities.

Sunday, January 6, 2013 Rosemary Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
3 cups oats
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/8+ teaspoon of Penzy's powdered rosemary *
1 teaspoon finely chopped lemon zest **
1 cup chocolate chips
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Put aside.
Mix olive oil and sugar in a big bowl until it has an even consistency. Add one egg at a time, mixing until fully incorporated after each one.
Stir in vanilla.
Stir in dry ingredients. When batter is coming together add chips and continue to stir until all the ingredients are combined.
* I put 1/8 teaspoon on rosemary in the flour mixture and then stirred it up. If you can smell the rosemary there's enough. If you can't smell it add more in small increments.
** I used a peeler to take the yellow zest off 1/4 of a large lemon and chopped it very finely on a cutting board with a sharp knife.
Scoop onto parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake at 325 for 12-15 minutes.

America might be a "melting pot," but identification – as an individual and as a group – matters, according to political scientist Angelo Falcon. He is urging Latino civil rights groups, academics, and Hispanics to weigh in on whether the Census changes the way Latinos identify themselves in the 2020 Census.
"We're still debating what it means to be Latino – we're all over the place as a community, and people have many different positions on this stuff," says Falcon, who is the founder and president of the National Institute for Latino Policy (NiLP). "I'm trying to make sure Latinos understand that census issues are an ongoing process, and changes in the Census don't come about just by number-crunching; it is also a political process. So it's important Latinos are in there, in the discussions."
The Census Bureau is considering whether to make "Hispanic" a racial instead of an ethnic category. One of the reasons this is being considered is that the Census says it is Latinos who predominantly fill the "some other race" category or leave the race question blank. In the 2010 Census, for example, the Census reports that 7.1 percent of households picked "some other race", and the majority of these households were Latino.
In 2010, the Census sent out alternative questionnaires to half a million households, including a significant number of Latino families, which gave respondents a chance to mark Hispanic as a combined race and origin category. In those forms, says Census officials, the "some other race" answer went down .2 percent, compared to the general questionnaire, compared to 7.1 percent in the general Census form.
"Some respondents view their Hispanic origin as a race," said Nicholas Jones, from the U.S. Census, in a Washington D.C. in a press conference several months ago. Census officials also said the question of changing the forms came after studying Latino responses in different Census focus groups on the issue of racial and ethnic identification.
Fordham University law professor Tanya Hernandez, author of the new book "Racial Subordination in Latin America," is opposed to the idea of joining race and ethnicity as a "Hispanic" category, especially if it eliminates existing racial categories, since she believes this would have negative, real-world consequences.
"Census data is used in very important ways, for example to monitor compliance regarding civil rights and racial disparities," Hernandez states. "To understand why a Latino, Asian and white person can have the same income profile but still have different access to a mortgage, for example, you need to examine racial categories," Hernandez explains, saying many Latinos still experience discrimination by skin tone.
Hernandez also says she does not think there is anything wrong with putting "other" as a racial category since it is not a large number of Latinos who do. "The vast majority of Latinos do pick a specific racial identifier, but for some Latinos, especially those with indigenous ancestry, the 'some other race' is a more useful category," she says.
Patricia Foxen, Deputy Director of Research for the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), says that while NCLR does not have a position on any potential changes, "what is important is to talk about the actual question that would be on the form, and make sure Latinos can self-identify with the categories." Foxen says even if "Latino" or "Hispanic" were to become a race/ethnicity, it is important to have the ability to mark "black Latino" or "white Latino" and also have the chance to mark one's national origin – say Mexico, or Puerto Rico.
"We use Census data all the time, and we use it to identify racial and ethnic disparities in education, health and wealth-building," adds NCLR's Foxen. She says it is also important to keep a certain amount of continuity in the census forms to be able to study changes over different decades. "We're adapting to changing demographics, but it's important to keep continuity," she says.
Falcon says he is not taking sides on whether the Census should change "Hispanic" to a race/ethnicity categorization. But as a member of the Census' National Advisory Committee on Racial, Ethnic and Other Populations, he says it is important that Latinos get involved in the conversation on the proposed changes. Falcon says Latino groups will study Census focus group information, for example, and he is planning a "summit" where he is inviting Latino academics, civil rights groups, and Census officials to discuss the issues.
"I want to make sure Latinos who have questions get their issues answered," Falcon says. "The current classifications of "race" in the Census are a jumble anyway – there are ethnic groups, nations, tribes – how did that happen? It's not all scientific – it is also political."

Parma is a city of noble cultural traditions; its innumerable works of art are a testimony of its long history and glorious past as a major European capital city.
The city is situated halfway between the Po River and the last slopes of the Apennine Mountains, along the Roman Via Emilia built in the first century BC to connect Milan to Rimini, in an area that has always been a crossroads and an interface between the peoples of the Po Valley and other Italian and transalpine peoples.
Parma was a Roman colony founded in 183 BC by the consul Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. After the fall of the Roman Empire it passed under Byzantine rule and was conquered, in 570 by the Lombards, who developed their settlement in the South-Eastern area.
In the 11th century, the Bishops took over from the Count Palatines.
Parma was then at the centre of harsh conflicts between the followers of the Holy Roman Empire and those faithful to the Papacy; in the end the Ghibelline fringes prevailed with the Bishop Cadalus and Guiberto, native of Parma and Archbishop of Ravenna.. These two Bishops had been Chancellors of the Holy Roman Empire and were proclaimed Antipopes by pro-Imperial Episcopal councils. During these forceful political clashes, Cadalus, Antipope Honorius II (1064) ordered the reconstruction of the episcopal see and then of the Cathedral itself, which acquired great symbolic value as papal see in opposition to the successors of St. Peter in Rome.
Following the act of submission, at Canossa, of the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry IV, to Pope Gregory VII who had excommunicated him, the most symbolic and expressive episode of the conflict between the Holy Roman Empire and the Papacy, Parma returned to the Guelphs.
The construction of the Cathedral and of Palazzo Vescovile transformed the ancient episcopal citadel: no longer just an extension of the Early Medieval city but an urban structure with its own formal identity. Once Parma had become a free commune in 1106, a commercial square was added to the ecclesiastic square; it was created for the civil authorities on the site of the city's ancient Roman forum.
The Cathedral was begun in 1046 and rebuilt after an earthquake in 1117; it is among the more significant achievements of Romanesque architecture in the Po Valley. It was built on a Latin cross plan, with nave and two aisles ending in apses, a projecting transept and a raised presbytery above the crypt. The cupola, at the centre of the transept, features the celebrated fresco by Antonio Allegri da Correggio, Assumption of Mary (1536-30) which marks the peak of this artist's illusionist studies and became a model for all subsequent Baroque decorations.
Towards the end of the 12th century, a particularly prosperous period for Parma as the city was entertaining profitable economical and cultural exchanges with the more vivacious European cities, the free Commune, supported by the Episcopal authorities, began the construction of another symbolic building: the Baptistery. It was designed by Benedetto Antelami (1196 -1216) and built between 1196 and 1307 in the shape of an octagonal prism, using blocks of pink and white marble. The external decorations, representing moral and devotional events and doctrines, are the most significant Italian Romanesque sculptures.
Between the 11th and 12th centuries. The city developed beyond its Roman perimeter and progressively acquired its characteristic spindle-like aspect following the course of the ancient Via Emilia. New city walls were built in the 13th century enclosing these successive extensions
During this lapse of time, after the prosperity of the free commune period and a succession of seignories, Parma passed under the dominion of the Visconti from Milan (1346) and later of the Sforza up to 1500.
In 1545, Pope Paul III gave Parma as a Duchy to his illegitimate son Pier Luigi Farnese. Under Farnese rule, which lasted for quite some time, until the family became extinct, the city went through another period of intense cultural and artistic activity and innumerable art treasures made it ever more magnificent. Urban and artistic works include Palazzo Ducale and its park, the stronghold, the renovation of the University and of Palazzo Pilotta, the construction of Palazzo Farnese, begun in 1583 and never completed, which today houses the Museo dell'Antichità and the outstanding Galleria. The palazzo includes Teatro Farnese built in 1619 and rebuilt after World War II.
In 1749, the Duchy of Parma was given to the House of Bourbon. Several monuments further enriched the city; they were all erected under the supervision of an architect from Lion, Ennemond-Alexandre Petitot, and clearly show a French touch.
In 1802 Parma was conquered by Napoleon and in 1814 by decision of the Congress of Vienna, it was given to Napoleon's wife, Marie Loiuse of Austria. Several public works were accomplished during her reign (1814-1847), including the construction of the celebrated neoclassical Teatro Regio (1829); she also re-opened the Accademia delle Belle Arti, created the Biblioteca Palatina and the Museo dell'Antichità. With the unification of Italy, Parma became part of the Kingdom of Italy.
Déclarations d'authenticité et/ou d'intégrité
The historic centre of Parma fulfils the criteria of authenticity as regards both its Roman (and then Medieval) structure and the architectural conception, planimetry, building materials, mostly brick and terracotta, of the more important buildings and monumental complexes.The historic centre as a whole and single monuments come under the protection of the national and municipal legislation concerning cultural heritage, respectively Decree n. 42/2004 (Codice per i beni culturali ed il paesaggio) and the Town Planning - Municipal Plan of Operation. which clearly establishes the historic centre's perimeter and guarantees the conservation of historic and artistic features of all monuments.
Comparaison avec d'autres biens similaires
The historic centre of Parma stands out among all other cities in the Po Valley having similar characteristics on account of the particular significance of its Medieval, Renaissance, Mannerist and Neoclassical monuments and of several masterpieces that are important examples of artistic schools that will indisputably influence subsequent developments in painting and monumental art.Parma therefore represents a privileged observatory for the study of the cultural context that lead to a revival of classical principles in Western Europe.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. -- The LA Galaxy took part in their only training session ahead of Wednesday's match against the Columbus Crew on Tuesday on the campus of The Ohio State University.
The session went on for a little over an hour before the players returned to the club hotel, but the highlight of practice was a game of soccer tennis between several of the club's players. Of the participants, the most dominant was the team of Marcelo Sarvas, Juninho and Hector Jimenez.
Below are Sarvas' thoughts on the exercise and a little snippet of the action.
(On the importance of the exercise...)
"It's good to relax and to have a nice day before the game. It also helps your technique and the most importantly, the guys are always laughing and making jokes so that's the most important."
(On his own performance during the exercise...)
SARVAS: "My team was the best, me, Juninho and Hector, we killed them. Robbie [Keane] was a little bit angry, but he can not compete against us."

Sandy Hook teacher recounts horror, focuses on kindness
STAMFORD -- On the morning of Dec. 14, 2012, Kaitlin Roig-DeBellis was reading to her classroom of first-graders at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown when she heard rapid-fire gunshots over and over.
Relaying her story to a packed auditorium at King school Wednesday morning, the teacher said she knew they were shots, as they were followed by the sounds of shattering glass.
Roig-DeBellis said it is always possible that your life can change in an instant. So you must live your life a certain way, and how you react means everything, she said
"I knew something evil and bad was in close proximity to my students," she said.
Making a split decision, Roig-DeBellis said she immediately got up, closed the door, turned off the lights and told her students to get into the bathroom. The keys to the classroom door were across the room, so she couldn't lock it.
Though the 15 students didn't want to get into the room, which is 3-by-4 feet wide, they eventually agreed. Meanwhile, she said shots were ringing out as if on a battlefield.
Roig-DeBellis piled the students into the tiny space, placing a few on the toilet and one on the toilet paper holder. When they were all inside, she at first couldn't shut the door and had to re-arrange them.
"We stood in sheer terror, listening to the horror on the other side," she said.
Some students said they want to live to see Christmas, which was just around the corner, while others said they want to see their parents. Roig-DeBellis told them she was lucky to be their teacher and loves all of them. But the students still wanted to get out.
"I said, `There are bad guys out there right now and we have to wait for the good guys to come.' "
Roig-DeBellis said they waited, trying to have faith and hope. She thought of her fiance, the wedding dress she just purchased and the beach on which she was to be married.
"We started to pray and we started to imagine the very best, and the shooting continued," she said.
Soon, Roig-DeBellis said the shooting stopped and an eerie silence fell over the school. While it seemed like they were in the bathroom for hours, she later learned it was only 45 minutes.
When a police officer came to the door, Roig-DeBellis had a student ask who it was. Then she asked to see the officer's badge, but didn't believe it was real. The authorities then unlocked the door and took everyone out one by one.
It was later revealed that 20-year-old Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 students and six staff members at the elementary school. Before coming to the school, Lanza killed his mother at home. After police arrived at the school, he killed himself.
After the attack, Roig-DeBellis said she was left searching for answers to such questions as how will she and her students regain control of their lives and not let this tragedy define them. In the following weeks, she couldn't be in public, couldn't be in the dark and couldn't shower.
By January, Roig-DeBellis said students and staff went to their new school, and there was an outpouring of support, with toys, stuffed animals, cupcakes and more.
"You name it, it was sent to us," she said.
As she surveyed all of the gifts, Roig-DeBellis told her students that when someone does something nice, you have to do something in return. She said they were excited about the process, because giving always makes you feel better.
Roig-DeBellis started the nonprofit organization, Classes4Classes, whose mission is to teach children in kindergarten through eighth grade that their lives are all connected and everyone has the power to create positive change. Students in one class give a gift to another class, anywhere in the country. The receiving class can accept the gift only after it selects a third class to provide with gift, teaching students to "pay it forward."
Roig-DeBellis said when you teach kindness, compassion, love and empathy, there is no room for hate.
"My purpose has always been to help children," said Roig-DeBellis.
She told the audience that she wanted to be a teacher since she was 4 years old and was thrilled when her dream finally came true.
Since the shootings at Sandy Hook, the teacher said she got married, finished the New York City Marathon and chose her path for healing. She showed pictures of all of the people she's met, including President Barack Obama, President Bill Clinton, Lady Gaga, Katie Couric, Diane Sawyer and Anderson Cooper, and the magazines in which she's appeared.
In her final remarks, Roig-DeBellis told the students always to do what they can to help others, and that they can make a change. She said if they go after what they believe to be most important and do their best, they can do anything.
"Always know your purpose so you can be the change," she said.
She received a standing ovation.
"I thought it was definitely an inspiring story of a teacher who became a hero," said Kevin Sonko, a junior at the school, "how she took these experiences and made them global and made a difference."

Like many other Swedish sun worshipers crowding a white-sand beach here on this morning, Elisabet Brandt considers herself to be a good environmentalist. At home in the south Swedish town of Helsingborg, Ms. Brandt waits in the sleet and snow for the bus to take her to work, rather than drive. "I don't even own a car," she says with pride.
Brandt, a nurse, also sorts and recycles her garbage through a program that has made Sweden a leader for converting household waste into bioenergy. And she will, of course, never leave her house without first turning off all lamps. Though half of Sweden's power supply comes from hydroelectric plants, a renewable energy source, many consumers still take care not to waste power to keep bills down.
All this has helped Brandt and 9 million other Swedes transform their nation into one of the greenest on earth. Indeed, the country recently placed second among 149 nations in a prestigious environmental index developed by Yale and Columbia universities. The United States was 39th.
Yet for all their geothermally heated homes and pricey hybrid cars, Swedes have one dirty habit they refuse to give up: long-distance air travel to warmer and sunnier locales. Like the beaches here in India.
The dichotomy is raising moral questions for Swedes and practical problems for the rest of the world. Curbing air travel represents one of the next big frontiers in the crusade against global warming.
If green-minded Swedes can't be convinced to curb their wanderlust in pursuit of a tan, what hope is there for the rest of us to change deeply ingrained habits?
"Yes, I've heard about airplanes and their emissions," Brandt concedes from underneath the sun umbrella where she enjoys a novel and a perfect view of the frothy surf. "It's a tough issue. But I can't say I feel bad about being here. I do so much for the environment at home.
• • •
Swedish travel reached an all-time high in 2007, when more than 1 million people boarded a plane headed for a non-European destination – nearly twice as many as in 2002. Significantly, aviation now accounts for 10 percent of the country's greenhouse-gas emissions – and is growing, one recent study showed.
The travel fever comes as the European Union looks for ways to curb emissions from the airline industry, the region's fastest-growing source of greenhouse gases. The European Commission is in a desperate race to meet its Kyoto Protocol obligations, and officials believe it can only happen with an overhaul in aviation.
But even the most environmentally conscious will find excuses for behavior that aggravates the climate crisis. Try convincing Americans to give up their SUVs, or Indians their cows. They will present compelling arguments for keeping up habits that generate greenhouse gases. The Swedes are no different. It shows just how difficult it can be to act locally – even when the Earth's future is at stake.
"Living in Sweden, suffering through those long, dark falls and long winters, we need to have a few weeks of hot weather to look forward to – to pull us through," says Bettina Brandt, seated in a chair next to her mother. Bettina, a retail manager, gets up to wade into the lukewarm waves with her 6-year-old son, Joel. "Especially after the rainy summer we had last year."
For light-deprived Scandinavians, escaping for a few weeks during the winter is considered a matter of mental survival – an entitlement fueled by rising incomes and a strong economy. The flights Swedes and other Europeans take to developing countries currently generate half of all aviation-based greenhouse-gas emissions in such nations, according to the European Federation for Transport and Environment. This winter, 300,000 Swedes booked flights to Thailand alone.
"We're talking enormous travel distances, so even if the flight is full, the total emission per passenger will be fairly high," says Kjell Andersson, head of energy and transport at the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. "One Sweden-Thailand round trip is equivalent to putting 15,000 kilometers [9,300 miles] on your car for several years."
Such facts jolt Katarina Eriksson. The hardware store employee just returned from a three-week trip to northeastern Brazil and says she knows "we're destroying the world." She and her husband travel abroad every fall and spring – usually to Greece – and plan eventually to retire away from the cold climate of Mora, their home town in the middle of Sweden.
After trying a winter trip to the tropics this year, they're contemplating adding India to their 2009 itinerary. "You think of your kids and grandchildren – what will life be like for them?" Ms. Eriksson says. "But I live for these trips. I used to get depressed every fall and winter, and I think our trips really helped me overcome that."
The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency recently asked the government to curb airport construction and to impose stricter emissions caps on existing airports to make flying more difficult and expensive. Mr. Andersson also hopes that a future European aviation emissions trading scheme, which uses economic incentives to curb pollution, will slow the travel frenzy – especially in a weakening economy. "We don't tell people to stay home, but we can apply financial pressures," he says.
Like many people in the industrialized world being asked to sacrifice to cool the planet, Swedes hope technology will preserve their tan lines. Eric Persson is a young Swedish-Brazilian entrepreneur who built the hotel where Eriksson and her husband stayed in South America. He's proud of Sweden's environmental reputation. He's considering installing solar panels on his hotel property, and uses a green ionization technology to clean his pool instead of chlorine.
"Of course, no matter how you twist and turn this thing – tourism flights hurt the environment," Mr. Persson agrees. "But I don't think you can stop it. You can't expect Swedes to stop traveling to the sun. We just have to trust that the aviation technology will develop and get cleaner."

One in 10 Swedes surveyed recently by Stockholm-based Nordea Bank said they planned to buy a second home abroad within the next two years. With Spain's sun coast now out of economic reach for many middle-class families, they're turning their search to countries such as Thailand, Gambia, and Brazil.
Other sunbirds simply take advantage of low-cost destinations such as India, where they can stay for months in cheap guesthouses without defaulting on bills back home.
Sussi Oskarson and her partner, Jonnie Cronquist, were spending the winter in Goa – she after taking a leave from her job at a credit company and he thanks to a government disability pension. At their country home south of Stockholm, they're sticklers for recycling and composting their waste.
"What you take from the earth you should return," Mr. Cronquist explains over a drink in a beach bar where laid-back Indian waiters like to greet customers in Swedish or Russian. "That's how we renew our world."
"And at the same time we travel so much," Oskarson adds with a grimace. "It's a paradox, isn't it?"

What is an essay in Spanish all about? If you will take the term literally, then you might consider writing an essay using the Spanish language. This is the practical take on such an instruction. But actually, you can do more than just writing an essay in the said language. An essay in Spanish does not necessarily mean you use Spanish in writing.
