SLU to Become an 'All Steinway School'
Members of the department of fine and performing arts were on hand Wednesday morning as Michael Barber, S.J., dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and Frost Campus vice president Manoj Patankar, Ph.D., joined Steinway Piano Gallery president David Slan for the official signing of SLU's "All Steinway School Initiative."
|Frost VP Manoj Patankar, Ph.D.; Steinway Piano Gallery president David Slan; and Michael Barber, S.J., dean of the College of Arts and Sciences
The "All Steinway School" designation is awarded to an institution by Steinway in recognition of that institution's commitment to excellence. With the signing of the agreement, SLU begins the process of becoming an "All Steinway School" and when all the required guidelines have been met the University will be listed on the "All Steinway School" roster.
Cynthia Stollhans, Ph.D., interim chair of the department of fine and performing arts, shares her excitement and that of her department as they look forward to the arrival of the first new Steinways.
"I am personally very excited about our new commitment to become an 'All-Steinway School,'" Stollhans said. "The music program's new relationship with Steinway -- the standard for excellence in pianos -- reflects Saint Louis University's commitment to excellence across the curriculum. All students, regardless of their major, will benefit from the presence of world-class Steinway pianos at SLU,"
Associate professor of music and coordinator for keyboard studies Pamela Dees, D.M.A, will join Father Barber and Father Albert Rotola, S.J., from the Office of Admission the week of Aug. 15 on a trip to the New York City Steinway Gallery and factory to select the first of SLU's new pianos.
Opportunities are available to the SLU community and the public to donate to the purchase of the new Steinway pianos. To make a donation visit giving.slu.edu and note that the gift should be allocated to the "Steinway Piano Campaign Fund."
For additional information, contact Barbara Valentine at firstname.lastname@example.com or Tim Lewis at firstname.lastname@example.com.

As economy recovers, more landlords considering hikes in a market that's more balanced for owners, tenants
More landlords in San Diego County are raising rents or considering doing so in response to a slowly mending economy. Hiring has seen an uptick and the stock market is heating up.
"The economy has gotten better and people are more optimistic," said Stuart Posnock, chief executive of Garden Communities in San Diego. The company is building what will be a 2,100-unit apartment development off Interstate 15 in Mira Mesa.
Still, many property managers and owners are approaching possible rent hikes with caution.
Annual growth in rental rates, which hit 6 percent a decade ago, has now slowed to 2 percent. The slowed pace is largely due to increasing competition from the for-sale housing market. Near rock-bottom mortgage rates and rising real estate prices are drawing out once-sidelined buyers.
Property managers of older complexes face the challenge of competing with new units offering perks — from cooking classes to a future bowling alley — that may lure away their tenants.
All of those factors have contributed to "more of a balanced market" for both tenants and landlords, who appear to have equal pull on rents, said Russ Valone, a housing analyst at MarketPointe Realty Advisors in San Diego.
"I think there has been a breather in the marketplace," Valone added.
Here's a Q&A of what tenants and landlords need to know about the current rental market:
Q: Where are rents in San Diego County?
A: They averaged $1,388 in March, up 2 percent from the same time a year ago, based on MarketPointe Realty Advisors' most recent analysis.
Q: Where is the vacancy rate?
A: The vacancy rate hit 4.71 percent in March, up slightly from 4.45 percent the same time a year ago, MarketPointe numbers show. The vacancy rate was consistently in the 2 percent range in the late 1990s to the early 2000s. It peaked at 5.26 percent in March 2009 — matching a similar high in September 2007.
Q: Why did the vacancy rate go up from a year ago?
A: Because more units came onto the market. About 10 new projects came online in the past year, releasing nearly 1,800 units, MarketPointe's study shows. That's the most the county has seen in new apartment supply since 2008, when 2,100 units were added, said Valone, of MarketPointe. MarketPointe estimates 4,000 rentals are being built throughout the county, with many of those projects expected to open this year.
Q: What does the vacancy rate mean?
A: Despite increased supply, the vacancy rate — the percentage of unoccupied rental units — has remained steady because of increased rental demand. Why? The housing market has become increasingly competitive. Home sale listings have hit at least a three-year low, meaning buyers are competing for limited supply. And don't forget about the tens of thousands of borrowers who lost their homes to foreclosure since the housing crash. Many of those people likely won't rejoin the housing market until their credit scores recover, Valone said.
Q: Where are all the new apartments?

That can more reasonably be put down to translation differences - it's not changing the definition or anything. It's something used in English anyway: http://en.wikipedia....tet_(computing)
This, like many other issues, will never be resolved to the satisfaction of everyone. Those who oppose the use of "kilo", "mega", etc. to mean anything other than various multiples of 10 will always bitch about it. Those who have used computers for decades before this change will always bitch about it being changed. Kind of like how I personally think the French are annoying to the rest of the world by insisting on calling a byte an "octet", so they have their own abbreviations - Ko, Mo, Go, etc.
Of course it can be resolved, it's just the computing guys will ultimately "lose".

This brief provides a summary of the TIR system and introduces the most important attributes of the future eTIR system. It highlights the fact that, for many countries worldwide including those in the Asia-Pacific region, the TIR system is an important tool for international transit and transport facilitation. It also illustrates how, by incorporating modern ICT technologies, the eTIR system will further enhance transit and transport facilitation while further securing government revenues.
The Annual Report 2014 outlines the work programme and activities of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific through case studies and highlights during 2013-2014. It includes reporting of successes, resource mobilization, capacity building and examples of cooperation between ESCAP and its stakeholders. It takes time to detail programmes delivered across the region, looking at both the bigger picture and work done to further development in the subregions.
The Asia-Pacific Trade and Investment Report (APTIR) is a recurrent publication prepared by the Trade and Investment Division of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. It provides information on and independent analyses of trends and developments in: (a) intra- and inter-regional trade in goods and services; (b) foreign direct investment; (c) trade facilitation measures; (d) trade policy measures; and (e) preferential trade policies and agreements.
There is a pressing need for the countries in the Asia-Pacific region to establish their own sustainable mechanism to monitor the effectiveness of trade and transport facilitation reforms and measures and identify solutions to streamline and optimize trade and transport process. Although existing global trade facilitation performance surveys and databases provide useful information on benchmarking and raise awareness, they do not provide sufficiently detailed information to develop or update national trade and transport facilitation action plans.
ESCAP supports governments in Asia-Pacific in implementing measures to efficiently involve the private sector in infrastructure development. Developing case studies is part of this effort and promotes exchange of experience among the countries of the region.
Case 1: Traffic Demand Risk / The case of Bangkok's Skytrain (BTS)
The following case study examines the issue of traffic demand risk and sheds light on how the problem of inaccurate ridership forecasts can impact a PPP project by using the example of the Bangkok SkyTrain.
Countries that implement trade facilitation reforms and enhance trade efficiency and connectivity are generally expected to attract more foreign direct investments. This paper is a first attempt to quantify the potential impact of trade facilitation on FDI flows. Using a unique bilateral dataset on FDI flows covering both OECD and developing economies in Asia and the Pacific, we estimate gravity models of FDI featuring relevant trade costs and trade facilitation indicators.
Connectivity is a cornerstone of regional economic cooperation and integration – and has become a major priority for the countries of Asia and the Pacific, especially in the context of efforts to find new drivers of regional economic growth, and to create additional domestic and aggregate regional demand.
Structural transformation, economic diversification and logistics are some of the issues explored in this new book from the Asia-Pacific Research and Training Network on Trade (ARTNeT). The volume's essays use various methodologies to provide new perspectives on the region's growth and prospects. Individual chapter's focus on: trade policy in Nepal; logistics in Bangladesh and Thailand; Sri Lankan exports; and SMEs in Cambodia.
The book contains the following chapters:
I. Structural transformation and trade policy: Case of Nepal
by Paras Karel
The Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific is the oldest and most comprehensive annual review of economic and social development in Asia and the Pacific. This flagship publication of ESCAP outlines policies to sustain dynamic growth and to make it inclusive such as unlocking fiscal space to finance higher productive government spending and enhancing regional connectivity through stronger institutional coordination across the region.
On the occasion of the 70th ESCAP Commission Session, ESCAP launched the publication, entitled "Asia and the Pacific: A story of Transformation and Resurgence". It provides an analytical narrative of the transformation of the region, one infested with pervasive hunger and deprivation to the Asian miracle that lifted billions of human beings out of extreme poverty. It tells how the region from a periphery became the centre of gravity for the world economy.

5 Simple Single-Flower Wedding Bouquets
Avoid over complicating your wedding flower selections by limiting it at one type. Peonies, roses, and even lily of the valley can stand alone and look gorgeous in a bridal bouquet. Plus, if you keep the flowers simple you can add a glam bouquet wrap! Flowers are about 8 percent of your wedding budget and sticking to one flower type will also allow you to buy in bulk and perhaps shave off some of the cost.
1 of 5
Lush Rose BouquetThis bouquet was hand constructed from several roses to look like one single flower.
2 of 5
Pink Astilbe ArrangementThese tall, feathery plumes make a statement as a wedding bouquet.
3 of 5
Mini Lily of the Valley BouquetLily of the Valley doesn't just serve as a bouquet filler-- it can be the main attraction.
4 of 5
Pink Peony BouquetPink peonies pop against a white dress and add a fun, flirty dynamic thanks to their bulbous shape.
5 of 5
Cascading Orchid BouquetCascading cymbidium orchids are so dense you won't need many to form a draping bouquet.

Sounds interesting. I'm gonna see if I can persuade my Dad to coach me and some mates next season.
Also, does anyone have the UK site? I've tried everywhere, and I can't find a site where you can register. I it's too early now, but I was researching to see if I could participate this season and couldn't find anywhere with the UK costs.

Also, ThinkBrick, more sensor usage sounds good. I hope to participate next season, and I was concerned that sensors might not be used that much.

more sensors would be good although encouraging the use of too many sensors would undermine the newbie spirit. If it gets too hard to use then we would see sign ups drop

Eh, Max, newbies can use sensors as well... I know new teams that have used the full range of sensors and done very well.

New For 2013The XTS is an all-new car for 2013. It sits atop Cadillac's range of sharply designed sedans and is roughly the size of the old DTS it replaces. The XTS was the first car to receive the brand's new CUE (Cadillac User Experience) infotainment software, which uses touch-capacitive sensors and two LCDs—one on the center stack and an optional one for the gauges.
OverviewThe XTS replaces the DTS and STS sedans in the Cadillac lineup. With those aged models out of the picture, the XTS takes up residence as Cadillac's range-topping sedan. The XTS rides on a stretched version of the Epsilon II platform that underpins the Chevrolet Malibu. Only one engine and transmission are offered: the same 3.6-liter V-6 found elsewhere in GM's lineup mated to a six-speed automatic. The refined and powerful V-6 makes 304 hp in the XTS. As on the DTS that it replaces, front-wheel drive is standard, and as on the STS, all-wheel drive is an available option. Cadillac's CUE infotainment system is the XTS's trump card over its competition. This new system uses a set of LCDs and touch-capacitive sensors for inputs to the radio, navigation, and climate control systems. Inside, the XTS rivals more expensive models from the German and Japanese automakers with sumptuous leather, wood, and metal appointments. It is also quite roomy, offering interior space comparable to that of full-size luxury sedans but in a more efficient package. In addition, the XTS boasts 18.0 cubic feet of trunk space, exceeding the capacity of many of its full-size competitors. The XTS has a full complement of high-tech safety features, including lane-departure warning, forward-collision alert, and blind-spot monitoring.
SafetyFront, side, and side curtain air bags; stability and traction control; Ultrasonic rear parking sensors; OnStar with automatic crash notification and emergency services; and a tire-pressure monitor are standard. Lane-departure warning, forward-collision alert, a Safety Alert Seat, blind-zone alert, automatic braking, and adaptive cruise control are optional.
You'll like:
- Large trunk
- Advanced technology
- Sumptuous interior
You won't like:
- Only one available engine
- Heavy curb weight

NXT ATM Machine
One of the coolest features I think is the fact that it scans the banknotes as they go in with a light sensor, and creates something like a histogram. It then compares it with a 'known' banknote to figure out the value.
Another nifty mechanism is the numerical keypad, which pushes a different coloured tile in front of a colour sensor.

Yeah, ok, he proved this YEARS ago...but I'm just sayin'...
"We are happy to work with Republicans; we recognize that there has to be some long-term financial austerity," Reid said.
"We're not burying our heads in the sand; we recognize we need to do some things," he added.
But he called a proposal by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to cut this year's federal budget by $32 billion "unworkable."
More at The Hill
This is why people from Nevada can't be in charge of money. The deficit isn't some slot machine. A 32 billion dollar cut is "unworkable?" This is what he means by that:
If you put 100 pennies on a table, and those pennies represent the $1.5 trillion dollar deficit that Harry inherited from Bush 2 years after his presidency ended. Those 100 pennies represent pennies you don't actually have, and should not have spent.
In walks Paul Ryan and says, "holy crap those aren't our pennies! We've got to get rid of some of them, we need a change, A MAJOR CHANGE! Everyone......brace yourselves this is going to a BUMPY RIDE!!!!"
He then removes 2 pennies, or $32 billion dollars, off of the table......
Harry Reid thinks THAT is "unworkable"...
WRONG, square pegs in round holes are unworkable.
Global warming rhetoric during blizzards is unworkable
Michael Vick and the Dog Whisperer are unworkable
Helen Thomas and Victoria's Secret is unworkable
The Democratic Party is unworkable.
They're ready to shut down the government, like at this point that would be a bad thing, over cuts that amount to 2% of the deficit. This is madness.
Even with his glasses "Four Eyes" Reid can't see we are standing at the edge of a fiscal abyss.

Plenty at stake on SundayPosted by on December 26, 2012 – 9:02 pm
Steve McLendon knows what the feeling was like losing to the Cleveland Browns, 20-14, on Nov. 25.
And while this Sunday's game against the Browns at Heinz Field has no playoff implications, McLendon does not in any way, shape or form want to have that same feeling again.
"There is something at stake," said McLendon. "First of all we're playing against Cleveland. We don't want to lose to those guys twice.
"You want to finish strong no matter what the situation is. The type of guys we have here, we don't want to go out with a loss. We are all motivated this week. We just have to go out here and finish."
A win would give the Steelers an 8-8 record, and while finishing .500 was not the goal when the season started, it would keep them from having their first losing season since 2003.
"The desire now is to finish 500," said tackle Max Starks. "When you think about that, you never want to finish with more losses than wins. I have never done that in my entire football playing career and I don't plan on starting that now. For me that is my drive and I think it's a lot of guys drive. I don't plan on ever finishing under 500. I don't want that to start this year."
Casey Hampton remembers that losing season when the Steelers went 6-10. He didn't like it then, and he doesn't want it to happen again.
"It's been a long time," said Hampton. "I remember that. It's tough. You get paid to do a job you have to go out there and be professional about it and just make the best out of it."
Hampton is well aware the team wouldn't be in the position they are today if they would have pulled out some early season wins that they expected to have. But when they didn't it put them behind the eight ball and time ran out.
"Early in the season you can't give away games you are supposed to win," said Hampton. "That comes back to bite you at the end of the day. You have to win those games early that you are supposed to so later on you can afford to drop a game or two when guys aren't at full strength. You have to win the ones you are supposed to win early."
* * *
Hampton, in his 12th season with the Steelers, said he wants to continue to play but whether that is in Pittsburgh or elsewhere time will tell. Hampton will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season and isn't sure what his future holds.
"I definitely want to continue to play, whether it's here or wherever," said Hampton. "I definitely want to be here, but I understand it's a business. Whatever happens will happen. I don't have any control over that. I only have control over what I do on the field."
Last year receiver Hines Ward retired rather than trying to play for another team, but Hampton is leaving his options open.
"I want to play and I feel like if somebody wants me to play for them I'm going to play," said Hampton. "That's just what it is. I'm a little different than Hines."
* * *
Cornerbacks Curtis Brown (ankle) and Keenan Lewis (knee), safety Troy Polamalu (not injury related), and receiver Mike Wallace (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. Tackle Mike Adams (ankle) was limited, while guard David DeCastro (hamstring) was a full participant.

Advice & Support
This topic provides
information about
type 1 diabetes for adults and for parents of children
who have been diagnosed with the disease in the past 6 weeks. If this topic
doesn't answer your questions, one of the following topics may meet your
Type 1 diabetes mellitus
is a lifelong disease that develops when the
pancreas can no longer produce
insulin. Insulin lets sugar (glucose) enter your
body's cells, where it is used for energy. Without insulin, sugar builds up in
your blood. The level rises above what is safe for your body. Over time, high
blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels and nerves throughout your body and
increase your risk of eye, heart, blood vessel, nerve, and kidney
Type 1 diabetes can develop at any age. But it usually
develops in children and young adults. In the past, type 1 diabetes was called
juvenile diabetes and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
Insulin is made by
certain cells (beta cells) in the pancreas. Type 1 diabetes develops because
the body's immune system destroys the beta cells and therefore the pancreas's ability to
produce insulin.
Some people inherit the risk for type 1
diabetes. But even these people may not develop type 1 diabetes unless something else triggers it, such as being exposed to certain viral infections.
The main symptoms of high blood sugar from diabetes
These symptoms usually develop over a few days to weeks.
Some people have these symptoms before they are diagnosed, but they do not
realize the symptoms are caused by diabetes. They may believe the symptoms are
caused by the flu or some other illness.
insulin levels drop very low, blood sugar can rise
very high and a life-threatening situation called
diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) can develop. DKA is an
emergency. Symptoms include:
Severe diabetic ketoacidosis can cause difficulty
breathing, brain swelling (cerebral edema), coma, or death. But by taking your
insulin regularly and keeping your blood sugar levels in your target range, you
can avoid DKA.
The main symptoms of low blood sugar from diabetes
Low blood sugar occurs when the sugar (glucose) level in
your blood drops below what your body needs to function normally. Not eating
enough food or skipping meals, taking too much medicine (insulin), exercising
more than usual, or taking certain medicines that lower blood sugar can cause
your blood sugar to drop rapidly.
If your blood sugar level drops
very low (usually below 20 mg/dL), you may
lose consciousness or have a
seizure. Eating or drinking something that contains
sugar usually can bring your blood sugar back up to a safe level. But if you
have symptoms of severe low blood sugar, you need medical care
You need to
test your blood sugar 3 or more times a day to make sure it falls within the
target range you and your doctor set. You use a home glucose monitor to do
these tests.
At first, you will keep in close touch with your
doctor while finding the right dose of insulin that best keeps your blood sugar
levels within your target range. When your blood sugar levels are staying
within this range, you will see your doctor about every 3 to 6
months. During these checkups, your doctor will look at your treatment to see
how well it is controlling your diabetes. If your treatment isn't working very
well, your doctor may have you try different things. You will also start having
a A1c test to find out what your average blood sugar level was
during the 2 to 3 months before your visit. This test checks your long-term
blood sugar control.
You also need to have regular tests to check
blood pressure and
cholesterol levels, because high levels increase your
risk of diabetes complications.
You will take insulin
injections daily or use an
insulin pump. Treatment for type 1 diabetes focuses on
keeping your blood sugar levels within your target range. This is called
tight control. It is the best way to reduce your risk of diabetes
complications. But some people—such as those whose blood sugar drops too low
with tight control—may need to set a different target range with their
A target range for blood sugar is 70 mg/dL to
130 mg/dL before eating or less than 180 mg/dL 1 to 2 hours after eating. It
also may be measured as an A1c of less than 7%. This is a test of your blood sugar control for the past 2 to 3 months.
You also need to eat a healthful diet that spreads
carbohydrate throughout the day, check your blood
sugar 3 or more times a day, and get regular exercise. Because you have
diabetes, you are at higher-than-average risk of a
heart attack and
stroke. You may take medicine to keep your blood
pressure and cholesterol in the normal ranges. You also
may take aspirin to lower your risk for having a heart attack.
Your treatment plan may change based on your blood sugar levels and other
test results reviewed in your doctor's office.
If your child has
type 1 diabetes, treatment involves the same actions but also allows for normal
growth and development.
You may find that soon after you are
diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, your blood sugar levels return to normal. You
are in what is called the "honeymoon period." The remaining insulin-producing
cells in your pancreas are working harder to supply enough insulin for your
body. You may take little or no insulin. But this does not mean that the
disease is gone. After the remaining insulin-producing cells are destroyed, the
honeymoon period ends, and you will need to take insulin for the rest of your
You can live a
long, healthy life if you keep your blood sugar levels within a target range. This requires the right combination of food, physical activity, and
insulin every day. If your young child has diabetes, you assume the
responsibility for balancing these things. As your child grows, he or she will
take over more responsibility for his or her care.
Many people are
afraid of giving themselves shots every day. With practice, it will become
routine. Figuring out how to mix diet, insulin, and exercise in your daily life
takes time. Don't get discouraged. Seek out help from your doctors if some part
of diabetes care gives you trouble.
As you adjust to having
diabetes, you will learn how to monitor your blood sugar level at home, give
yourself insulin injections, recognize high and low blood sugar symptoms, count
carbohydrate in your diet, and take precautions when you are sick. Diabetes
care will become an important part of your life, but it doesn't have to take
over your life.

The only encyclopedia with more information on Sonic the Hedgehog than William Shakespeare.
Wikipedia is the ultimate pseudo-intellectual resource.
radium tarafından 27 Şubat 2007, Salı
Online open text encyclopedia, the quality of whose articles varies widely because the quality of the contributors varies widely. A large number of its two hundred billion trillion articles consist of recycled news releases, wishful thinking masquerading as fact, axe-grinding, and hobbyhorse-riding. On the other hand, some sections include many articles written by people who know what they're talking about.
If you like an encyclopedia which provides hundreds of articles about Canadian television shows, you'll love Wikipedia!

A place where every article has an anime reference, a video game reference, an Internet culture reference, and a "Criticism" section, regardless of the subject. I mean, this is the Internet, after all.
It's surprising that Wikipedia's article on war contains no information about the console wars.

Wikipedia is a great idea in theory, but in practice, most of it's a waste of cyber-ink. It's supposed to be a massive open-source encyclopedia. To its credit, it contains some quirky, interesting information not found anywhere else. However, it also contains factual inaccuracies and political garbage. The bulk of its most influential contributors (the ones with power) are ideological morons, each of whom has to put his/her opinion into every article, even on topics like Norse mythology or basket-weaving. Petty squabbles dominate while factual integrity and cooperative production are made tertiary priorities. The worst aspect of Wikipedia is the "cabal" of like-minded, influential, long-standing contributors who dress their views up as "consensus" and use their sysop privileges to bully anyone who disagrees with them. As an interesting footnote, the encyclopedia was also implicated in a 2004 character assassination effort by a band of anonymous right-wingers against Mike Church.
Wikipedia is not as it should be.
Anonymous tarafından 25 Şubat 2005, Cuma
An online pseudo-encyclopedia that is run by a bunch of pimply-faced teenaged nerds and 40 year old obese virgins living in the mothers' basements. On this particular website, truth isn't based upon the facts but rather upon majority opinion.
Wikipedia is a steaming pile of BS, run by a bunch of lusers.

But, I definitely agree with the idea of multiple networks covering it. Have them bid on specific sports and opening and closing of the games. Olympics earn more, more sports on so if you don't like one, you change the channel to the one you want to watch.
I really hope they do get MMA in there. Then comes the question...do you have to be an amateur, or will they allow pros.

The untold story behind an extraordinary and desperate fight to bring the truth to light; a fight to stop the State of Arkansas from killing an innocent man. Starting with a searing examination of the police investigation into the 1993 murders of three, eight year old boys Christopher Byers, Steven Branch and Michael Moore in the small town of West Memphis, Arkansas, the film goes on to uncover new evidence surrounding the arrest and conviction of the other three victims of this shocking crime - Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley. All three were teenagers when they became the target of the police investigation; all three went on to lose 18 years of their lives - imprisoned for crimes they did not commit.

now that the contract has been signed and the first drafts have been accepted, I'm pleased to announce that another book on the NXT will come into being, written by me.
The book is targeted to be released by Apress in next spring and deals on app. 300 pages with six advanced robots that are connected by a particular topic. Each of them will be programmed with five or six of the most popular NXT programming platforms that are available on the market presently.
These activities of mine might account for the apparent abstinence on my NXT related web site, on the blogs and on the different forums - writing a book first of all is a lot of work!

Hi Matthias
Congratulations from me too.
It is very coy of you not to mention that it will be in English! I shall be looking for it in the spring. :-)
There is one obvious question to ask, will the book be published in German too?

oops! Indeed I didn't mention that it will be written in English! Well, apparently using this language has become so usual to me that I just took it for obvious. ;-)
As a matter of fact, I don't no of any plans for a German-speaking relase. In the caseof it becoming a tremendous success Apress may be considering this.

Many local schools will soon reap the rewards of high student achievement last year.
Nearly 60 schools in Okaloosa, Santa Rosa and Walton counties will receive a welcome infusion of nearly $3.8 million through the Florida School Recognition Program, according to information released by Gov. Rick Scott's office.
The checks, which will range from $170,299 to $4,489, will be awarded to all public and charter school that received an A grade from the state, improved a letter grade in 2011-12 or sustained improvement from the previous year. Alternative schools that showed improvement or received an improvement rating also will get money.
View the school by school breakdown in funding »
This year's $134.6 million in funding will be divided between about 1,700 schools across Florida, according to Scott's news release.
"It's not factored into anybody's budget," said Kaye McKinley, Okaloosa County's deputy superintendent of schools. "It's kind of like a bonus."
Schools can use the money for staff bonuses or to buy equipment and materials. In Okaloosa, schools are required to seek input from as many people as possible, including the School Advisory Council, before they submit a spending plan to the district.
Santa Rosa County schools follow a similar approach, said Superintendent Tim Wyrosdick.
While the money can be put toward capital needs, more often than not it is used to give all staff at the school a bonus for helping children perform their best.
"It is a nice gesture on behalf of the state of Florida," Wyrosdick said. "It says, 'We really appreciate the schools.' "
Most of the more than 20 local schools that did not receive funding either didn't qualify for a school grade in 2011-12 or dropped a letter grade.
Schools that didn't get the money don't dwell on the issue. Rather, they continue to focus their attention on helping students the best they can, McKinley said.
"It's a disappointment, but I don't think our schools and our teachers see the goal of an A school to get the money," she said.
The funding is determined by how many full-time equivalent students, or FTEs, each school has enrolled. This year, the schools received about $93 per FTE, McKinley said.
They got about $100 last year.
Scott wants to increase that amount to $125 for the 2012-13 school year. The Legislature must approve the recommendation.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she still expects to have her job in five weeks after voters head to the polls.
Pelosi, the top Democrat in the House, whose job as speaker makes her third in line to the presidency, said she would retain that position.
"I fully expect to be speaker of the House five weeks from now," Pelosi said at a NBC/Universal women's forum in Manhattan, as reported by the New York Times.

For the first time in my life I can say I completely agree with Nancy...and now Satan wants back the jacket I borrowed from him.
There is no question she will be the Speaker of the house 5 weeks from now, she'll get to keep that gavel until January 2011.....idiot.

Wow. Amazing book. A perfect balance of philosophy, plot and humour.
Being new to Terry and starting at Mort on the advice of a Pratchett loving friend, I can honestly see Terry improving as the Discworld series progresses.
Withes Abroad and Small Gods have been by far, in terms of narrative, the strongest so far. I liked Mort, Sourcery and Pyramids but I feel Small Gods really demonstrates his ability to tell a good story and load it with interesting ideas and questions.
I start Lord and Ladies tonight...

Katie Webber '08 found Wilson's Women with Children program so beneficial that she plans to make a career out of developing similar programs at other educational institutions.
"Currently, there are millions of strong, capable women who have the potential to do well in college and make intellectual contributions to society, but they are stuck in lower level jobs because they do not have access to an education," Katie said. "This has repercussions for their children as well, as they are being raised by minimally educated parents who are likely to be overworked, underpaid and stressed over finances."
Now living in Fairfax, Va., Katie is currently employed at the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC), a non-profit organization of which Wilson College is a member. She is a membership manager, responsible for membership dues and the tuition exchange program. "CIC provides various conferences and services to upper level administrators of private colleges," Katie said. "CIC facilitates the administration of various new programs on member campuses."
Katie plans to earn a doctorate in political science or political sociology in future years when her 10-year-old son, Gage, is older and less dependent. Her goal is to one day start an organization that helps institutions develop programs similar to Wilson's Women with Children (WWC) program. "I was incredibly fortunate to have found the Women with Children program because it enhanced the quality of life for my son and me," Katie said. "I'd like to help expand opportunities like Women with Children to others."
She feels that the program not only gave her an academic education, but also helped improve her social skills and led to personal growth.
"The students in the Women with Children program formed a strong support network that helped me grow as a parent," said Katie.
When she arrived at Wilson, Katie planned on studying psychology to become a school counselor. "I was interested in human behavior, what causes certain types of behavior and what was involved in the thinking process," Katie said. But as she advanced in her studies, her career plans changed.
"I realized that I was drawn to the political aspects of whatever subject I was studying at the time," Katie said. She soon added sociology as her second major. "My major was very broad and didn't relate to one specific career path, but it is definitely applicable to the mission of the non-profit organization that I work for."
Katie believes her Wilson education, with its small class sizes, prepared her well for a career. "It helped me to learn to think critically, to ask questions and ask the right questions," she said.

In recent years, EPA has learned that caulk containing potentially harmful polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was used in many buildings, including schools, in the 1950s through the 1970s. Most schools and buildings built after 1979 do not contain PCBs in caulk. On September 25, 2009, EPA announced new guidance for school administrators and building managers with important information about managing PCBs in caulk and tools to help minimize possible exposure. Through EPA PCB Regional Coordinators, the Agency will also assist communities in identifying potential problems and, if necessary, developing plans for PCB testing and removal.
For more information:
- PCBs in Caulk Fact Sheet (PDF) (2 pp, 26 KB)
- PCBs In Caulk Frequent Questions (PDF) (14 pp, 101 KB)
The EPA is conducting research to address several unresolved scientific questions that must be better understood to assess the magnitude of the problem of PCBs in caulk and identify the best long-term solutions. For example, the link between the concentrations of PCBs in caulk and PCBs in the air or dust is not well understood. The Agency is doing research to determine the sources and levels of PCBs in schools and to evaluate different strategies to reduce exposures. The results of this research will be used to provide further guidance to schools and building owners as they develop and implement long-term solutions. Read more about Research on PCBs in Caulk.
EPA has calculated prudent public health levels that maintain PCB exposures below the "reference dose" – the amount of PCB exposure that EPA does not believe will cause harm. Read Public Health Levels for PCBs in Indoor School Air || PDF version (2 pp, 14 KB)
Caulk is a flexible material used to seal gaps to make windows, door frames, masonry and joints in buildings and other structures watertight or airtight. At one time caulk was manufactured to contain PCBs because PCBs imparted flexibility.
First Step: Take Steps to Minimize Exposure
Although this is a serious issue, the potential presence of PCBs in schools and buildings should not be a cause for alarm. If your school or building was built or renovated between 1950 and 1979, there are several steps schools can take to reduce potential exposure until it can be determined with certainty if PCBs are present in caulk used in the building and any contaminated caulk can be removed. One of the most important steps is to minimize the potential for PCBs to be present in the indoor air. Indoor air levels of PCBs within a school can be reduced by ensuring that the ventilation system is operating as designed, and to repair or improve the system if it is not.
Many old lighting systems contain ballasts manufactured with PCBs. These PCBs can get into the air if the ballast fails or ruptures. Replacement of old lighting systems with new, energy efficient systems will eliminate a potential source of PCBs.
Other steps include:
- Clean frequently to reduce dust and residue inside buildings.
- Use a wet or damp cloth or mop to clean surfaces.
- Use vacuums with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters.
- Do not sweep with dry brooms; minimize the use of dusters.
- Wash children's hands with soap and water often, particularly before eating.
- Wash children's toys often.
- Wash hands with soap and water after cleaning, and before eating or drinking.
EPA also has developed an informational brochure to provide the general public with important information on PCBs in building caulk, Preventing Exposure to PCBs in Caulking Material || PDF version (4 pp, 2.7 MB) || en Español (PDF) (4 pp, 2.7 MB), EPA Publication EPA-747-F-09-005.
If school administrators and building owners are concerned about potential PCBs in the caulk, they should consider testing to determine if PCBs are present in the air. If testing reveals PCB levels above the levels EPA has determined to be safe, schools should attempt to identify any potential sources of PCBs that may be present in the building, including testing samples of caulk and looking for other potential PCB sources (e.g., old transformers, capacitors, or fluorescent light ballasts that might still be present at the school).
If elevated levels of PCBs are found in the air, schools should also have the ventilation system evaluated to determine if it is contaminated with PCBs. Although the ventilation system is unlikely to be an original source of PCB contamination, it may have been contaminated before other sources of PCBs were removed from the school and may contribute to elevated air levels of PCBs. Contaminated ventilation systems should be carefully cleaned. Ideally, such cleaning should be planned in concert with removal of any sources of PCBs that are found to avoid re-contamination of the system.
During the search for potential sources, schools should be especially vigilant in implementing practices to minimize exposures and should retest to determine whether those practices are reducing PCB air levels. It is important to note that interior surfaces and settled dust can absorb PCBs from contaminated air, and these secondary sources can emit PCBs after the primary source is removed. Therefore, a remediation plan should consider the potential effects for these secondary sources on indoor air quality.
Other Sources, Including Caulk
Should those practices not reduce exposure, caulk and other known sources of PCBs (e.g., paints, floor and ceiling tiles) should be removed as soon as practicable. Please note that you cannot tell if caulk has PCBs by looking at it. While it is possible that PCBs could be released into the environment through the cracking or flaking of caulk, EPA believes the old caulk that is still flexible or is in visibly good condition could be a significant source of PCBs into the air. The only way to be sure that caulk has PCBs is to have a professional test the caulk.
Where schools or other buildings were constructed or renovated between 1950 and 1979, EPA recommends that PCB-containing caulk be removed during planned renovations and repairs (when replacing windows, doors, roofs, ventilation, etc.).
Based on EPA's Office of Research and Development's (ORD) laboratory research, encapsulation was found to be most effective for interior surfaces that contain low levels of PCBs (i.e. several hundred parts per million). Depending on the PCB reduction goal, the performance of the encapsulant, and the conditions of the building, the upper limit of the PCB concentration for successful encapsulation may vary. Therefore, post-encapsulation monitoring is an essential part of the encapsulation process. Building owners should consult EPA's research on this issue for more specifics. Encapsulation may be useful for the reduction of emissions from secondary sources such as contaminated building materials under and around PCB-containing caulk or paint that has been removed. Encapsulation was not found to be effective in reducing emissions from sources that have a high PCB content (for example caulk) for more than a short period of time. Because each site will present unique circumstances, please consult your EPA PCB Regional Coordinator regarding the application of encapsulation measures on a case by case basis. It is critically important to assure that PCBs are not released to air during replacement or repair of caulk in affected buildings. Assessment of the ventilation system for potential contamination, proper cleaning when required, and isolation of the system to prevent further contamination are also important.
Test Methods
For determining the presence of PCBs in indoor air, EPA has two approved methods:
- Compendium of Methods for the Determination of Toxic Organic Compounds in Ambient Air - Compendium Method TO-4A (high air volume) (PDF) (53 pp, 665 KB)
- Compendium of Methods for the Determination of Toxic Organic Compounds in Ambient Air - Compendium Method TO-10A (low air volume) (PDF) (37 pp, 288 KB) .
EPA recommends that caulk suspected to contain PCBs be tested directly for the presence of PCBs and removed if PCBs are present at significant levels. The PCB regulations provide appropriate methods for testing. More information on these procedures can be found at:
- Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods, SW-846
- Wipe Sampling (PDF) (31 pp, 86K)
Contact EPA's Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Hotline at 1-888-835-5372 or the EPA PCB Regional Coordinator for your state for assistance.
Schools Information Kit
A Schools Information Kit provides information for parents, students and staff about PCBs in caulk, including:
- General information on PCBs in older schools and buildings || PDF version (1 pg, 564 KB) || en Español (PDF) (1 pg, 517 KB)
- Schools checklist || PDF version (1 pg, 416 KB) || en Español (PDF) (1 pg, 221 KB)

Global Feminisms Remix
- Dates: August 3, 2007 through February 3, 2008
- Collections: Contemporary Art , Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art
- Location: This exhibition is no longer on view in Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, 4th Floor

May 2007: Forty-four works selected from Global Feminisms are once again on view at the Brooklyn Museum in the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art. Like its widely praised predecessor, Remix seeks to challenge the dominance of European and American contemporary art and explore such issues as racial and gender identity, politics, and oppression.
Remix assembles works by 40 women artists, who represent countries that are seldom involved in the contemporary art discourse such as Guatemala, Kenya, Pakistan, Thailand, Korea, India. The wide range of media employed in the exhibition includes paintings, sculpture, photography, works on paper, and video.
In this exhibition, many of the artworks are infused with political activism. From Afghanistan, Lida Abdul is represented by a single-channel video White House (2005), which shows the artist white-washing a building in bombed-out Kabul. Sigalit Landau, an Israeli video artist, swings a barbed wire hula-hoop around her naked, bloody stomach in which pain symbolizes the geographical barrier created along the West Bank. Regina José Galindo is seen making a bloody footprint with each step as she walks from the Court of Constitutionality to the National Palace in Guatemala City in memory of murdered Guatemalan women, in her performance video Who Can Erase the Traces? (2003).
While other exhibiting artists' themes are not as politically charged, they do create intense, emotive works that celebrate social freedoms or confront oppression. From Japan, Miwa Yanagi's photograph from My Grandmothers series, depicts an elderly model with flaming-red hair riding sidecar on a motorcycle driven by her young lover. Japanese artist Ryoko Suzuki contributes a mural-sized installation of three photographs in which her face is bound tightly by pig's intestines, where she is bullied into a kind of mute, anonymous submission.
Among the artists represented are Ghada Amer (Egypt), Arahmaiani (Indonesia), Pilar Albarracín (Spain), Pipilotti Rist (Switzerland), Tracey Moffatt (Australia), Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen (Denmark), and Tracey Rose (South Africa).
The specific works have been chosen by Co-Curators Maura Reilly, Curator of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, and Linda Nochlin, Lila Acheson Wallace Professor of Modern Art at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University

"Art should be beautiful, sensual, and transcendental," says sculptor, Violet Dennison, paraphrasing John McCracken and providing insight into the directives for her newest sculptural work. Dennison is an emerging talent fresh out of NYU's Steinhardt School. We recently discussed her raw, multiverse sculpture. In which, the artist offers an exciting and refreshing counterpoint to the trending 'detritus movement' taking her work further than mere groovy dyes and grainy façades. Instead, the impetus behind Dennison's style comes from disco, sensuality, California car culture, and a suspicious yearn for utopian escapism.
The collection of works in Dennison's Gowanus studio range in materials, from cement, plaster, burlap, granite, to wood, and measure from four to seven feet. Stylistically, they push at the boundaries of 60's minimalism, entering into the viewer's spatial field by modes of leaning, hanging, or existing as lone vertical structures.
Heavy fabrication and a dematerialized aesthetic are juxtaposed in Dennison's work through her use of raw material and visual trickery. Materials are manipulated and meticulously re-invented, reaching a visual regression to a seemingly more organic state. Coated in dulcet tones of light pinks, blues, and pale greens, her palimpsest process delivers seesawing conclusiveness on their physical and visceral nature. "Is what's in front of me heavy and cold or in fact light and sensual?" He or she must decide whether or not to trust his or her initial perception.
