I'm so happy it's back! I'm also happy that I managed to not watch "Queen of Hearts" until just before last night's episode, so I had a double dose. Seeing those two episodes back-to-back really intensified the arc.
I had 2 teeny tiny quibbles, though. In "Queen of Hearts," when Team Princess was approaching Rumple's jail cell, Snow said something to Emma about "here's where your birth was prophesized." [sic] Grr, I know that usage is becoming more accepted, but there's just no need to bastardize the language that way!
The other was more substantial. In "The Cricket Game," when they used the dreamcatcher thingie on Pongo, it projected what he saw. But it should have projected what he perceived. Dog's don't see things the same way people do, and by his reaction when Cora-disguised-as-Regina arrived at Hopper's office, he knew something was wrong. So for his "memory" to be only as what a human would have seen ... that didn't ring true for me. In another context I might have suspected Gold of manipulating things, but I don't think that's the case here.
But I'm not going to let that spoil things for me in the slightest. Bring on next Sunday!

The Daily Item
Mount Carmel had just taken the lead with 31 seconds left in the first half and, according to Danville quarterback Weston Baylor, the Ironmen were not planning to do anything other than take that score into halftime.
But a Mount Carmel squib kickoff changed that thinking, and possibly changed the direction of Friday night's District 4 Class AA championship game.
Cory Langton's kick went to the Danville 31 and Evan Tanner returned it to the Ironmen 39.
Baylor picked up 10 yards and then 14 on keepers, then made the play that Danville fans will long remember. About to be sacked, the junior sidestepped a tackler and heaved a perfect pass to senior wide receiver Bret Berg for a 35-yard touchdown and a tie game.
It was the first of three TD passes by Baylor as Danville got a wild 28-21 victory and a date in the PIAA Class AA quarterfinals next week versus unbeaten Wyomissing. it was Danville's first district championship since 1999.
Berg was modest about what the Ironmen faithful will remember as a remarkable catch. He ran an out-and-up, leaped and caught the ball in double coverage at the 2-yard line and stepped into the end zone as the defensive backs lay on the ground.

Braves left wondering what happened in San Diego: A fan's reaction
When the final pitch was thrown in the Atlanta Braves' game against the San Diego Padres on June 26, I was happy to see it end. The series was another inconsistent one, this time with the pitching staff seeing their share of problems.
During the series opener, Derek Lowe looked horrible yet again, allowing five runs on eight hits over 5 2/3 innings. He has now fallen to 3-6 on the season with a 4.33 ERA. The more he struggles, the more I feel the Braves are getting closer to absorbing some of his contract in an attempt to deal him. It isn't as though the team doesn't have options.
The fifth best prospect in baseball coming into the season has had a great run at Triple-A Gwinnett, going 8-1 with a 1.79 ERA over 13 starts. He has been consistent with his command (72:18 strikeouts to walk ratio) and has already made two starts in the big leagues. While his numbers aren't remarkable in the majors (8 2/3 innings, 10 hits, 2:4 K to BB), if he continues to pitch well and the Braves can deal Lowe, he may find himself in Atlanta permanently at some point this season.
The second game of the series saw the Braves' offense come alive for 10 runs in support of the team's Cy Young candidate, Jair Jurrjens(notes). The season-long struggles of Dan Uggla(notes) don't look like they are going to end anytime soon, but for this game, he was incredible. Uggla went 2-for-3 with a home run, four RBIs, and two walks. Chipper Jones(notes) had a productive game as well, going 2-for-5 with two RBIs.
On the mound, Jurrjens became the first National league pitcher to 10 wins, going six innings, allowing three hits and one run. With his performance, he lowered his ERA to 2.07.
When play began for the series finale, it was easy to see that the 10-run outburst was a one night deal. Tim Hudson(notes) had another solid start, going six shutout innings, but got no offensive help for the second straight start (he hit a two-run home run to beat Blue Jays last week). Cory Luebke(notes) limited the Braves to just one hit over five innings, with six strikeouts.
Uggla went back to his normal 2011 performance, going 0-for-4, while the Braves' 2-7 hitters went a combined 0-for-22. The team had a lead going into the eighth inning, but reliever extraordinaire Jonny Venters(notes) struggled, going 2/3 of an inning, allowing four runs, on four hits, with two walks. For the first time this season, Venters' ERA is over 1.00 (1.29).
The Braves will now travel to Seattle for a three-game series where they will hope to regain their previous momentum.

Multitouch casing could finally let Steve Jobs remove all buttons from iPhone [patent watch]
A new patent recently filed by Apple lays out plans to unleash iPhones and iPads covered with sensors that could make buttons like Home and Sleep/Wake obsolete:
"For instance, holding an iPad-style tablet with one hand could trigger the slate to activate the sensors on the other side of the hardware, so that only the controlling hand can use them. Meanwhile on-screen controls could be shifted across accordingly. Smaller devices could... react to individual or chorded input from the fingers holding the handset; that would allow for single-handed use of an iPhone, for instance."
Filed Tuesday, the patent states that sensors could be placed under a device's touchscreen, or even within its casing. This means that instead of having a homescreen button to press, one would simply swipe their finger along the bottom of the device to get back to their home page. (Sounds like Palm devices, doesn't it?)
Likewise, locking the device, or adjusting the volume, could use similar swipe related gestures in place of buttons. Apple's abandonment of buttons would also lead to sleeker, smoother idevices that would definitely fit with the company's reputation for creating ultra-modern, aesthetically pleasing products.
Rumors of Apple working on multitouch casings and bezels have been around for a while so while we never know if anything from the labs will ever make it into real, production devices, it does look like they're still actively pursuing the idea.
What do you say folks, is a buttonless iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch something that you would want? Sound off in the comments section and let us know what you think!
This is an official entry by Aaron Schultz in TiPb's next top blogger contest. Think you have what it takes to join Team TiPb? Bring it!
There are 30 comments. Add yours.
Sounds more fragile than the iPhone 4. Wouldn't this also make using cases very difficult (volume buttons, vibrate switch, sleep button)?
the back of the iPhone4 is glass.....Apple could put sensors behind the glass which is inline with this patent......#justsaying
Ohh who cares about cases- they just make em aesthetically unpleasant ! Gimme buttonless awesome phone!! Yay
Chorded input? Sounds like Steve is going to force us to learn music in order to fire up an iPhone. I can see Steve playing the 5 notes from Close Encounters to activate his iPhone and to communicate with aliens.
Although this sounds very cool, I personally don't think its a good idea. I already get occasionally frustrated when trying to answer a call on my iPhone and I have gloves on (a near necessity for Montreal winters). I can't imagine having to take my gloves off just to increase/decrease volume. And yes I know that there is volume control on the apple ear-buds. However I prefer to use my Sennheisers, which unfortunately don't have volume/track controls.
In fact if it were my choice I would add functionality to answer a call using a double press of the home button.
Yes, please. I hate hardware buttons. They would have to address the case problem, though, and the ability to power on/reboot. I think they could get down to just one button, for power, and I guess the new sensors would have to go on the face somewhere, to allow for cases.
Would it be able to sense, from my pocket, when I walk into a meeting and switch itself into vibrate mode? Or maybe that could just be a simple calendar setting.
I think I'd miss the ability to quickly flip the sound off. I missed it on my HTC Touch.
Oh, and and having all those buttons is one of the biggest turn-offs with Android devices. They have, what four or six and maybe a trackball or d-pad, all shoved down at the very bottom of the phone. Not easy to operate with one hand.
I could imagine left-right swipes across the earpiece (top) section for volume and taps at the bottom to replace the Home button.
There is absolutely no reason to take away buttons.. If anything, I'd like to see a dedicated camera button added.
@Jason D - Good point. With no hardware mute it would be hard to discretely mute your phone. Or in the event where you forget to mute it, silence the ring by pressing the volume button through your pocket.
I like having some hardware buttons, but in my opinion I don't think this patent is all about completely eradicating hard buttons. I think it's more towards the idea of being able to do things such as pinch to zoom with one hand easier (thumb up front, finger on the back), and maybe webpage scrolling (holding the device with your thumb, middle and ring fingers and scrolling with your pointer on the back) so that your screen is less obstructed when viewing. This idea could also be applied to books on your phone or ipad, using a finger swipe to turn the page. We could even dream that you would be able to click links etc. with that same finger.
If apple completely got rid of hardware buttons it would involve having sensors constantly on even when locked in order to sense when you go to unlock it. On a completely random note, I wish we had sound profiles. I loved that feature on my original BB. The mute key could still be dedicate to mute, but the non mute would always go back to your chosen profile. Additionally I want the ability to edit my corrective text dictionary. There are some words I get commonly that are very obscure but close to common words and I get the obscure ones all the time. Alright that's my 2 cents on the issue.
Mind control or bust, so over my hands.
At what point does this stuff just get absurd. This is ridiculous. Can you say "accidental input". Just like the idea of the antenna being on the outside of the device, this is a bad idea that Apple should probably shy away from.
Goatse patent image?
I do not think that they will change the UI because the lot of us use one hand to interact with the phone leaving the back useless unless you continually use the phone in landscape. I would like to see the feature though as a welcome addition to the current UI.
The antenna on the outside was a good idea, there was just a slight flaw in it's implementation.
@mrburns05, want a buttonless phone? Check out the Palm Pre Plus, No buttons there until you pull out the keyboard :)
As for this, wow, this is going to be so weird. Accidental inputs are going to be the norms with this design.
Yeah I'm over the hands thing too. This is a step in the right direction to go with UMC. +1 Apple.
The Pre still has power/lock, vibrate, and volume buttons on it. Only thing it doesn't have is a home button. Either way, all it does for me is make a good paperweight
I like the buttons on the new Xbox, you don't have to press down on them, I dont know what they are called
Nice, new notification system would have been better though..
@mike, in that case, yeah I don't want a button less device. The Pre Plus has the core buttons I need, just glad to see the front so smooth :)
No... completely without any physical buttons? Don´t like it. What about cases? If the back has sensors, you cannot lay down your phone on the front or the back, you cannot use cases and so on... I dont like it so far. Only thing is: For games like Jump n run... it would be cool so that the fire and jump buttons could be on the back. But again... I dont like it.
I'll admit the idea sounds rather ... drastic at this time, but I was also really reluctant to give up a physical keyboard. And now? I can't stand 'real' keyboards; too slow, too breakable, and a waste of space and weight on the phone. With this buttonless thing, I could definitely see them making the home button that way (hopefully with some sort of raised bump so you can press it without really looking at it, like the F and J keys on a keyboard). For the volume, sleep/wake, and mute ... that'd be a little weird I'd think. And I can imagine constantly pressing those things accidentally. Who knows, Apple has done crazy things before and gotten it totally right, maybe they'll figure something out with this.
I like touch but come on I need buttons too. For example " I know this will probably never happen" this iPhone is still phone but it's not as easy to make a call on it as a regular phone. I have to hit the home button, swipe to unlock, touch phone, touch keypad or contacts or favorites then make my call. I would love a dedicated talk and hang up button that I could just push. Yes I have an iPhone 4 have had a 3G and 3GS. I love the other things it can do and don't mind having to swipe and scroll for other features but just want the phone to be more accessible. After all there more phone in I"phone" than any thing else
I'd rather see more buttons than no buttons. How about dedicated send/end buttons.
Accidential touching of sensor buttons would be a problem until you were used to it. As many have already stated, cases would have to have holes, and may not look good.
I like the currant set of buttons, I think that Apple have got the right amount and any less would be taking away esenchals. Allso, the battery isn't that super at the moment, takeing away the buttons would mean that there would need to be another touch sensative screen that drains the battery
There will always be one button on any electronic device that must be turned off.
IPhones must be turned off to board a plane. Off means off.
Only a physical switch can power on a truly off device.
The direction in which elecgtronic devices are going is of a button-less future. Many of us (myself included) said that an all touchscreen phone is just not practical. Look at what happened. This is what it is folks...buttons are a thing of the past. Get used to it.

You are welcome to that opinion. I disagree though.
IMO (means 'in my opinion') it is a fairly clever website. As evidence for this, I could cite some of this threads responses.
And in fact this thread is asexual, so this is one of very few occasions when I can declare an opinion as wrong. Make of that what you will. Also, I would recommend reading up on internalized homophobia and its implications
Totally ignore my last post I wrote it before I followed the link.
maybe IF it did really happen it was b/c Hughes lost a bet or something.I'm sure IF that really did happen it would be funny as hell to watch it in real life.
I liked it!

If the article could be correct then it is in the mma fans' interests to hear it - they can make their own minds up about if the source is credible or not. If, as I believe , it is satire then it is in the mma fans' interests to have a laugh and/or be caught out.
And let's face it, anyone who spends 30 seconds clicking a thread that says 'Matt Hughes steals goldfish' expecting it to be 100% bone-fide needs their head checking. :banghead:

ARLINGTON, Texas —
Touted as the best matchup outside of the BCS bowls, Oklahoma State and Missouri failed to receive the memo for Friday's Cotton Bowl Classic until the fourth quarter.
Both teams sputtered out of the gate — behind inaccurate quarterbacks, questionable coaching and sloppy officiating — and the 72,690 fans in attendance finally got its money's worth in a wild fourth quarter that finished in a 41-31 victory for Missouri at AT&T Stadium.
The two starting quarterbacks combined to go 48 of 97 (49 completion percentage) for 555 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions — with Enid native Clint Chelf completing 33 of 57 for 381 yards with two touchdowns and a pair of interceptions. It was not until late that Chelf finally got things clicking as he had completed just 13 of 20 passes for 136 yards with one touchdown and an interception in the first half. He also had 10 carries for 48 yards with a rushing touchdown.
Given a formula to beat the Missouri defense when Auburn utilized the read-zone option for over 500 yards in the SEC championship, the Cowboys' offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich elected to limit his use of his running backs in the first half.
Desmond Roland and Jeremy Smith ran the ball a combined 11 times for 59 yards — an average of 5.4 yards per carry.
With both offenses flailing, Missouri coach Gary Pinkel inserted backup quarterback Maty Mauk who showed the only bit of offense the entire night.
Mauk orchestrated an 80-yard scoring drive in which he ran for 73 yards — including two runs over 30 yards — and went 2 for 2 through the air with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Marcus Lucas after a pair of penalties turned a first-and-goal from the 9-yard line back to the 24.
Inexplicably, Pinkel elected to go back to Franklin on the ensuing drive. The result was a three-and-out — thanks to a 9-yard sack of Franklin by defensive end Jimmy Bean, who led the Cowboy defense with seven tackles, including three for a loss.
It took the Cowboy defense setting up the offense for OSU to finally get back in the end zone.
Defensive tackle James Castleman recovered a fumbled handoff by Franklin and put the Pokes at the Missouri 33-yard line. Three plays later Chelf found Jhajuan Seales for a 21-yard touchdown pass just before the fourth quarter.
The OSU defense gave the offense another short field when Shaun Lewis broke up a pitch attempt by Franklin and Ryan Simmons recovered the ball at the 11-yard line. The Cowboys couldn't pick up any yardage and freshman Ben Grogan, who hit a 34-yard field off the upright earlier in the game, tied the contest at 17 with a 25-yard field goal.
The lead went back to Missouri two minutes later when Henry Josey broke open a 25-yard touchdown run to cap a six-play, 60-yard drive — with the short field being set up by a personal foul on Joe Mitchell on the ensuing kickoff.
The Oklahoma State offense finally found a rhythm on its ensuing drive with Chelf matching Josey with a 23-yard quarterback draw to cap a 75-yard drive in which the OSU quarterback completed 3 of 5 passes for 39 yards.
Tyler Patmon nearly gave the momentum completely to the Cowboys, but the former University of Kansas cornerback had a pick six called back on a controversial pass interference penalty on the first-year Cowboy playing in his first bowl game. Missouri took advantage of the second chance and moved down the field to get a go-ahead 46-yard field goal by Andrew Baggett.
The Cowboys responded quickly by grabbing their first lead of the game with a 75-yard drive capped by a 2-yard run up the gut by Roland to give OSU the 31-27 advantage with 5:04 left in regulation.
Josey got his third rushing touchdown of the game for Missouri on its ensuing drive with a 16-yard scamper to finish with 92 yards on 12 carries and edge the Tigers back up with a 34-31 lead with 3:08 left in regulation.
Oklahoma State tried to charge back, but after yet another blown call by the Big 10 Conference crew — a Missouri defender prevented Charlie Moore from trying to make a play in the end zone — the Tigers sacked Chelf on the next play, forcing a fumble which was picked up and returned for a touchdown to seal the deal.

I cover mobile, social, sensor, location, data & pinpoint marketing
It must have been a slow news week. Much attention was given to a series of news items related to employers requiring applicants and employees to turn over their Facebook username and passwords to them. On first look, it seemed to be an outrageous privacy incursion, but on closer examination it turns out there have been very few reported instances of privacy abuse and none of them seem to have happened very recently.
But a string of news announcements in rapid succession made it seem like there was a rising tsunami of abuse headed toward Facebook users looking for jobs.
Here's the recap:
There are so many legs to this story, following it is like watching a centipede on a hot tin roof trying to dance.
First off, as Heddi Cundle, CEO of myTab Inc., a San Francisco-based startup put it, "the idea of requiring people to turn over the username and password is pretty much like they require you to turn over your housekey so that an employer can make sure you have nothing illegal going on inside the privacy of your own home.
Enough is enough.
While discussing the issue on Facebook, Joel Postman, a social pr consultant and author observed, "We already give employers our social security number, our driver's license or passport number, our address, and phone. If we sign up for direct deposit they get our checking account number and ABA routing number. Companies are tracking every keystroke and every IP address you visit while at work." Some employees even have to submit bodily fluids for drug testing.
If this sort of practice pushes forward, it will become a most volatile ignition point. There has to be a limit to unreasonable search and seizure and this one would be a wonderful candidate because almost no elected official would be boneheaded enough to support the employer in this case.
But there is real question as to how widespread such practice really are. The number of cases reported so far appear to have three aspects in common: 1. They involve government positions, most of them public safety jobs. This does not justify the privacy invasion, but may explain overreaction by employers who really do need to worry about security. 2. All incident being reported are more than a year old. 3. As far as I could find, there is not a single report of passwords being demanded by private sector companies.
In short, these incidents should never have happend, but there is just no evidence that the practice is spreading.
I often use Twitter and Facebook to crowd source my writing. I asserted some effort for several hours today to see if I could find more stories then the minuscule and aging anecdotes that were reported by Fox and NPR.
Only one new one came up, reported by Gina Kay Landis, who told me she had pored through 53 Google Search pages and found only one new case. It involved the City of Bozeman, Montana who required Facebook and, of all sites, MySpace, indicating the practice had started in earlier times. She also found a CNN report saying it was suspended in 2009.
Of all the online issues I think you should worry about, my advice is to lose no sleep on this one. If such a practice is being tried, it is not widespread and it is unlikely that it will become widespread based on available information. Plus any company that tried to do this to you is a place where you should avoid working.
Don't forget one of the more sensationalist articles was from Forbes.com: http://www.forbes.com/sites/chunkamui/2012/03/21/one-simple-strategy-for-protecting-companies-from-rogue-ceos-2/
Pot, meet kettle

" Prospective employees aren't asked for their login names or passwords, law enforcement officials said. But they must sign in to personal sites such as Facebook or Twitter so that background investigators can review the contents with them.
The Virginia State Police started conducting the same social media check for trooper applicants on Jan. 1."
Honestly, Mr. Israel, do you even bother reading your own columns, much less have an editor who screens them? The egregious grammatical errors throughout this piece are astonishing and diminish the credibility of both Forbes and yourself. Such poor presentation makes the content itself suspect.
"I often use Twitter and Facebook to crowd source my writing."
But nobody caught this error:
"to see if I could find more stories then the minuscule and aging anecdotes that were reported by Fox and NPR."
– more stories THAN not more stories THEN
Granted the date on the following is 2011 – it is newer than the 2010 issues you quote here. This FB issue is concerning employees at a Non-Profit in NY. Thank goodness the judge was sympathetic to the employees.

Lift brand and difference in tire clearance
Ok so Im sure I could dig up an answer to this question in old threads, but its taking me longer than expected. Im currently looking for a lift that will clear 315x75x16 tires. Rancho's 4 inch lift shows a max tire size of 35x12.50, while Rough Country's 6 inch lift shows a max of 35x12.50. Why is their a difference between tire clearance on different size lifts? Im assuming the Rancho 4 inch is actually bigger than is says, but honestly dont know enough about it. Any help with this question is greatly appreciated.

There are a few members such as @mfleetwood that have the Rancho kit. They have said the kit is closer to a 5" kit than a 4" one. The offset of your rims will also effect the tire size options also. Some kits call for a minimum offset to be able to run a certain tire. So before you take the leap I would highly suggest your read the "fine print" when it comes to rims/tires. With that being said I would say get the Rancho kit. I have used there stuff on Jeeps and relly liked the products. The few members on here who have it also speak highly of it also.

Well I found in the "fine print" that the minimum offset is 4.5. My plan was to keep my stock wheels, but Im guessing that wont work will it? I really didnt want to buy wheels too, and honestly I havent seen a wheel I like better than my stock set. I care more about tires than wheels.
I am not sure what the factory off set is. Maybe someone else does. I believe the mfleetwood still has his stockers on his truck.
yes you can keep your factory wheels but you will need at least a 1.25" wheel spacer i would run a 4.5" since you wont have to trim your wheels studs

I was doing dead lifts today (for the 2nd time since high school) and I just dont seem to have proper technique down, any advice on a good dead lift? It seems as though I am really weak too and dont want to throw out my back.
Deadlift Technique
Check out the above bro, should be helpful. Although I space my feet slightly wider than this demo for more stability.

If you feel like your too weak. Use a lighter weight. You don't need heavy weights to see improvement. Form is more important than the amount of weight you can lift.

Facility Renovation and Alteration
Policy and Procedures
a. Applicability. All renovations or alterations of the buildings, utility systems, roads or grounds of the University of New Hampshire.
b. Definitions.
i) Renovation. Work to restore and/or upgrade a facility or portion thereof to its original function and purpose. An example is a project to modernize a laboratory by installing new wiring, HVAC, lighting, ceilings, flooring and casework.
ii) Alteration. Work on a facility or portion thereof that changes the function or use. An example is conversion of a classroom into offices. Alteration is often combined with renovation.
iii) Do it Yourself Projects. A Do it Yourself project is any work to maintain, repair renovate or alter any building, utility system, road or grounds or any component thereof undertaken by an individual, group or organization that occupies, uses or otherwise has an interest in that facility or facility component. The individual, group or organization may provide labor and/or obtain materials from outside sources or the work may be accomplished through contractors working directly for the organization. Examples include painting an office, constructing a partition to subdivide a room, installing built-in shelving, adding electrical outlets for equipment, replacing light fixtures, etc.
c. Background. Numerous technically complex and overlapping laws, codes, regulations and policies govern university facilities and their construction, renovation and maintenance. It is important that all renovations and alterations be reviewed for consistency therewith.
a. Space Allocation Repair and Renovation Committee. The Space Allocation Repair and Renovation Committee (SARRC) is responsible for oversight of all facility repair, renovation, alteration and new construction.
b. Associate Vice President for Facilities. To ensure compliance with applicable regulations and codes and to provide for effective planning and project management, the Associate Vice President for Facilities has established the Facilities Project Management (FPM). Responsibility for the planning, design and execution of all building, utility, roads and grounds renovation, alteration and major repair projects is delegated to FPM. A staff of engineers, architects, related disciplines and crafts persons has been assembled to insure the proper planning and execution of all such projects.
c. Associate Vice President for Business Affairs. The Associate Vice President for Business Affairs is delegated responsibility for the safe, proper operation, maintenance and repair of certain auxiliary buildings. This includes student housing, dining halls, portions of the MUB, the New England Center, and portions of the Whittemore Center. To carry out this delegated responsibility, the Associate Vice President for Business Affairs has established a cadre of individuals to perform routine operation, maintenance and repair of the assigned buildings. The Assistant Vice President for Business Affairs has also been delegated the responsibility and authority for routine summer renovation projects in student housing facilities.
d. Dean of the College of Life Sciences and Agriculture. The Dean has been delegated the responsibility for operation, maintenance and repair of facilities, utilities and roads on agricultural properties managed by the college. The Dean has established a small workforce familiar with the needs of the college's agricultural programs to carryout this work.
a. General. The University strives to provide high-quality places to support the living, working and learning environment. However, resource constraints often limit our ability and less than desired conditions exist. Where individuals or organizations are willing to undertake improvements to the places that they occupy or use, their initiative is encouraged and supported. However, self-help projects must receive the same technical review as regularly funded projects and must meet the same material and quality standards.
b. Implementation.
i) All "Do It Yourself" projects as defined above will be submitted to the Director of Facilities Project Management, for review and approval using the attached "Do It Yourself" Project Submittal Form. Alternatively, self-help projects may be submitted electronically by completing the on-line request form found at the link below. Projects being considered may be discussed the Director of Facilities Project Management if advice or an informal opinion of feasibility is desired.
ii) The Director of FPM will assign a project manager who will review the planned work for compliance with all applicable codes, regulation, and standards. For projects involving utility systems the Facilities Project Manager will coordinate these projects with the Director of Utilities. Reviews will be given timely attention so as to not unnecessarily delay the work. Until approval has been received from FPM, however, work will not commence.
iii) "Do It Yourself" work will be monitored by the FPM project manager who will assure that all work conforms to applicable codes, regulations and standards.
iv) Air Conditioning (A/C) Specific Projects. All A/C requests must be approved by Facilities Project Management. The assigned Facilities Project Manager will determine:
(1) Availability of power (to ensure electrical code compliance) with an analysis of total building capacity.
(2) Availability of space for air handling units, ductwork, piping, condensers, etc.
(3) If window units are contemplated, the ability to modify the window to receive a window unit.
(4) The aesthetic impact of the installation. Will rooftop condensers be visible? For window units, what face of the building will be affected and are there existing window units on this face? If there are issues, the Project Manager and customer will consult with the Campus Architect.
(5) The recommended installation and necessary equipment capacity to satisfactorily provide cooling.
(6) The approximate cost for the installation or a summary of the actions needed to develop an estimate.
v) Facilities Maintenance is not funded to maintain window A/C systems. Customers who receive approval to install window A/Cs are responsible for funding maintenance and replacement of these types of units.
vi) Any work found to have been accomplished without prior approval of FPM and/or determined to not be in compliance with applicable codes, regulation or standards, including particularly the University's Construction and Repair Standards, will be removed and the area restored to its original condition or redone so as to meet standards. The cost associated with any such rework will be provided by the responsible individual, group or organization.
(vii) Any person or unit organization who accomplishes work under this Policy, without the prior approval of FPM accepts and assumes all risks and responsibility for losses, costs, and damage incurred as a result of accomplishing such non-approved work, including but not limited to risks of personal injury and property damage. The University and its administrators, officers, and employees shall have no liability for any harm caused by non-approved work. Additionally, when discovered, the person or unit organization may be directed to remove/restore the unauthorized changes.

As if Forest Hills residents didn't have enough to worry about when it comes to flooding.
A leaking water main began spilling water into the street at 66th Road and 108th Street Tuesday afternoon at just after 2 p.m.
Department of Environmental Protection trucks arrived on the scene at around 4:15 p.m., after fire crews had already investigated the issue.
According to a representative of the DEP, crews started excavating in the area shortly after 4:30 p.m. to determine if the leak was in a private line from a local home or a city line.
One resident in the area said she was having problems with her toilets continuously flushing.
The DEP representative said the city agency had not cut off water in the area, and that they would make a determination on how to proceed once the leak had been identified as an issue with a city or private water line.

(NECN: Greg Wayland) - For Monday's 117th Boston Marathon - weather's looking good.
Friday - we hear from some of the top competitors and previous champs.
Over 40 countries and some of the fastest people in the world will be competing in the marathon.
Greg Wayland speaks to past legends and winners about their experiences, and how they handled the stress.
"It's a scenic route, and I know many people and many of the communities," said former marathon winner Joan Benoit Samuelson.
Bright orange and royal blue are the marathon colors this year and this is where 27,000 runners will pick up their numbers and their windbreakers.
"This is Boston. This is like the mecca for runners, so for normal people, this is as close as we can get to the Olympics," said one runner.

Download it now to read this article plus other related content.
With so many disk-to-disk backup options available, it just doesn't make sense to back up directly to tape over the network.
A LAN-based backup system can't deliver the throughput required to stop a modern tape drive from "shoe-shining." Simply put, you can't back up via a LAN directly to today's high-speed tape drives without an interruption in the data stream; this requires the tape to be repositioned on the drive's heads, which causes a "stop-start" or "shoe-shine" motion on the tape device that slows performance.
To record a high-quality signal to tape, the recording head must be moved across the media very quickly. This is why modern tape drives have a minimum speed; if they went slower than their rated minimum, they wouldn't record a good quality signal and would lose data. This is an unchangeable fact about tape drives: They have a minimum usable speed.
That's why all tape drives designed for large-scale backups have two speeds: stop and very fast. This also applies to variable-speed tape drives. If you have a 50MB/sec tape drive and you send it a data stream at 25MB/sec, it doesn't write at 25MB/sec. Instead, it fills up a buffer and writes short bursts at 50MB/sec; it then stops, rewinds and prepares itself to write another short burst at 50MB/sec. The process of stopping, rewinding and getting back up to speed is called repositioning or backhitching. Each reposition/backhitch can take as long as a few seconds. If you backhitch
The further you operate from the drive's target throughput rate, the less time you spend writing data. Send a 50MB/sec tape drive a 40MB/sec data stream and it will actually write at 35MB/sec because it's spending at least 20% of its time shoe-shining. Send it data at 30MB/sec and it will write at 20MB/sec; send data to the drive at 20MB/sec and it will write at 10MB/sec; and if you send it at 10MB/sec, you may see the tape drive write at a rate of less than 1MB/sec.

The community is mourning the loss of Nikolaos Andreopoulos, the owner of Nick's 22nd Street Steak House in Shelby Township.
For nearly 20 years, "Uncle Nick", as Andreopoulos was referred to, has greeted residents at his restaurant with his warm smile.
"He was very friendly with people. He was a very outgoing guy," said Andreopoulos' son, Harry.
Andreopoulos, along with three of his friends from Macomb County were killed in a crash Wednesday in South Dakota early Wednesday morning when the vehicle they were traveling in collided with a semi-truck.
The victims are driver Wesley Allen Frasard, 71, Ledger John Frasard Jr., 68, William Edward Petrocy, 77, all of St. Clair Shores, and Andreopoulos, who lived in New Baltimore.
Thomas Edward Thorngate, 52, of St. Clair Shores was seriously injured and remains at Aberdeen, S.D., hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The four friends were in South Dakota for a hunting trip, according to Andreopoulos' family.
Funeral details have not been sorted yet as the family awaits for Andreopoulos' body to return from South Dakota. However, the family said they have secured the EJ Madziuk and Sons Funeral Home on 18 and Ryan.
"The amount of phone calls from friends and acquaintances has been unbelievable," said Bill Andreopoulos. "I never realized how many people my dad's life touched."

Veterinary Technician Fact Sheet
Veterinary technicians provide professional technical support to veterinarians and other entities that provide animal care-related services. Some of the responsibilities veterinary technicians are educated to perform include inducing and monitoring anesthesia, assisting in surgery, taking and developing x-rays, caring for patients, performing dental cleaning, and collecting and analyzing blood, urine, and fecal samples. Working with animals is only part of a technician's job. Working with pet owners is another vital part.
In addition to the gratification of maintaining the health of a pet, a veterinary technician enjoys the satisfaction of preserving the human-companion animal bond. When that bond is broken due to the death of an animal, it is very sad. Old and sick pets, as well as unwanted or lost animals, may be humanely put to death and spared unnecessary suffering. Veterinary technicians sometimes must perform tasks or procedures that are ethically uncomfortable for them.
Most graduate veterinary technicians are employed in private companion animal veterinary practice. Technicians are also found in animal shelters, humane societies, biomedical research, diagnostic laboratories, zoos, veterinary supply sales, academic institutions, food inspection, and herd health.
In the past it was common for veterinarians to train their own animal care assistants. Today, approximately 80 formal academic college programs, accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), train veterinary technicians.
Entrance requirements for these programs vary, but most require applicants to have a high school diploma or GED. College preparatory courses in English, science, and math, as well as hands-on experience with animals, are a plus. An Associate in Science degree is awarded after successful completion of study, which lasts at least two years. There are 12 schools in the United States that offer an accredited four-year program awarding a Bachelor of Science degree in veterinary technology. A four-year graduate may earn higher starting salaries and be more fully prepared to take on the responsibilities of practice management and public relations or to teach at a college level.
Required areas of study in AVMA-accredited veterinary technician programs include anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, veterinary office management, animal diseases, surgical nursing and anesthesia, radiography, parasitology, animal care, and management. Courses in these programs follow a prescribed sequence. Additionally you will be required to take courses such as chemistry, biology, mathematics, and humanities to round out your education. The cost to attend such programs varies considerably depending on whether they are offered through private colleges, state colleges, or community colleges. Continuing education may or may not be required by states, but keeping up on developments in veterinary medicine is professionally important and stimulating.
In approximately 40 states, veterinary technicians are certified, registered, or licensed after passing an examination administered by a State Board of Veterinary Examiners or appropriate state agency. In addition, responsibilities are often legislated by state practice acts. In general, a veterinary technician in a private veterinary practice may not diagnose, prescribe medication, or perform surgery.
Veterinary technicians earn salaries that are comparable to those with similar levels of education. Salaries vary greatly according to experience, geographic location, amount of responsibility and they type of practice employed in. The national average salary for newly graduated veterinary technicians is $20,243 and $23,000 for experienced veterinary technicians, with a salary range from minimum wage to $81,000, according to the North American Veterinary Technician Association.
The employment outlook for veterinary technicians is expected to grow as fast as average for all occupations through the year 2008, although the pet population is expected to slow.
Working with pet owners and their companion animals requires patience and empathy. Some frightened, sick, or injured animals may not be cooperative patients, but humane handling and treatment should always guide those who care for them.
For a complete listing of accredited, formal academic programs for veterinary technicians contact the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).

Casey Conquers Ducati's Home Race
Ducati finally conquered its home race at Mugello today thanks to a stunning performance from Casey Stoner in one of the most difficult and eventful races of his career. Victory for the Australian in the second wet-to-dry flag-to-flag race in succession was his 18th for the Italian factory and it was enough to secure the World Championship lead after five rounds, with four points more than Lorenzo and nine more than Rossi, the two riders who joined him on the podium today.
Much of the race came down to tactics again in front of the 80,000-strong Italian crowd as the riders once more started on a wet surface and completed the 23 lap contest on slicks, with Stoner this time judging things to perfection.
The Australian retook the championship lead as he crossed the line a second in front of former leader Jorge Lorenzo, who also rode well. Lorenzo's colleague Valentino Rossi completed the podium in third place as the Italian hero crossing the line two seconds behind Stoner and less than one tenth in front of Andrea Dovizioso. It was a shame for Dovizioso to miss out on the rostrum on the last lap once again, having held the race lead early on, on wet tires. Likewise, his compatriot Loris Capirossi was leading at one stage – later in the race – but he fell away in the final laps to finish fifth.
CASEY STONER 1st:
"I have already won in Italy, at Misano in 2007, and it was great for Ducati but this was the one I really wanted. We've struggled to find a great setting here for the past two years but today was our day. During the practice my pace in the dry wasn't perfect but it was quite good. We started out well in the wet, I felt good and the bike was doing great until the wet tyres were worn out. I kept trying to push to the limit because I didn't want to lose ground on the others like at Le Mans and stayed out there until I was absolutely sure it was the right time to change tyres. As soon as I went out on slicks I felt comfortable and competitive. Unfortunately I had an issue with the clutch and it started to give me a few problems. Loris came past and was pushing hard and riding very well and he kept me on my toes. At one point I thought it was all over but thankfully I was able to work out a way to ride around the problem and bring the victory home. I made a couple of mistakes over the final two laps but luckily it didn't matter. It was a really difficult race but a great one for the whole team, for Filippo (Preziosi), for everybody at Ducati and all the Ducatisti. I'm so happy today."
JORGE LORENZO 2nd:
"There were so many things happening and it was a crazy race, after the warm up I was so worried because I didn't have a good feeling to go fast in the wet, but then I was even more worried after the crash in the sighting lap because I thought I might have to start last. I got a really bad start because my rear tyre was sliding so much and then I hardly remember anything because the race was like a movie."

Nokia "EOS" With 808′s Camera Sensor and Aluminum Body; Windows Phone's "First Real Pureview" + Windows RT Tablet
Sources at the Verge are reporting that the Aluminum bodied Nokia we previously heard about, which was called "Catwalk" is actually codenamed "EOS". The EOS wil pack a sensor "Similar in size" to the 808 Pureview ( 1/1.2″) according to the rumors the EOS will be built with aluminum and have "Square edges".
The rumor also brings up the usual tablet rumors; which last we heard would have a folding cover/keyboard/battery pack.
*Side note: EOS is Canons line of High end cameras; perhaps a partnership? (not likely but that's what the name made me think)

Wowz!!! Great news!! Hope it'll have as efficient an OIS as that of the 920 while retaining the image quality of the 808.
im ready for the next big thing!!
something to rival GS4 and Optimus G pro..ok lets put 5S on the list.
This cant be right? Windows phone can't support the sensor on the 808. We would only see the true pureview in windows phone 9. Like in 2019 or something.
/s. Hahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha.
People to call out: DSS, AREOUT.
Why did you lie about this? Does this prove both of you are pathetic liars?
You are obviusly idiot (idiotisem is the worst level of retardness by the way). Why are you here? You are not even making fun from Nokia fans, but from your self, because your comment does not corespond to the article. Did you even read the word RUMORES? Ali didn't say what will be or what won't.
PS: if you think it can't handle, then justify your sentence with proof.
Do you see the irony in your post?
People were claiming that WP can't handle PureView Pro. That claim was based on rumors.
Now you are complaining about someone commenting about opposite rumor.
That clam was based on Nokia's info, that they coudln't produce Pureview 1 at the time being.
And I'm not complaining about wether it could or not support but his attitude to this blog and teir posters ( from users post: "Why did you lie about this? Does this prove both of you are pathetic liars?") and his trolling.
No, that claim was never based on Nokia's info. Indeed, if those people have listened to Nokia they would know that PureView#1 is not depending on the OS. Those particular persons were spreading rumors and twisting the facts in order to "prove" that WP couldn't support PureView#1 at all.
These guys aren't just pathetic liars, they are TROLLS flat out. They likely are big Symbian believers, because Nokia dropped Symbian, it seems these guys are now TROLLING hard on Nokia blogs and forums against WP.
There is NO limitation on WP8 core to support the Pureview sensor. The WP8 kernel has NO limitation on multiple or custom chips either. The HTC 8X uses a custom add-on sound chip for example. Nokia can easily use the custom Toshiba DSP chip from the 808 on the WP8; all they have to do is properly code for it. They have full access to WP8 code, so yes I believe it is coming.
The Verge, as much as I hate those anti-Nokia goons, are usually reliable when posting rumors. So if The Verge posted a rumor, especially more than once, then it's likely to be true.
Stop overreacting man! Its ugly to see you do this!
Snapdragon ARM_CPU can support only 20 Mpix,
but you could still use the pixel-pinned images of 8M/5M/3M
with that 38M CMOS image+CPU combo
This is bad news then, I mean it is great for camera lovers, but all i wanted was ONE thin high end phone from Nokia JUST ONE!:( I knew it was too good to be true
There is still the rumoured 920 successor with a slim aluminium body. Might be for some specific operator, though, of course. If Nokia actually brings six models (doubtful) to MWC, even if less, I'm sure there is room for more sizes than just the PureView monster…
Ah Nice then
One can hope, but I've also been hoping for a symmetrical WP8 Lumia and Nokia has been disappointing me with every new model released. It wouldn't be much of a shock for them to do the same with thin phones.
Sources at the Verge are reporting that the Aluminum bodied Nokia we previously heard about, which was called "Catwalk" is actually codenamed "EOS"
If I'm not mistaken then Catwalk and EOS are two different devices. Catwalk is the successor to the L920, which will have an aluminium body, like "EOS" does which is the WP successor to the 808.
Nevertheless great news if true.
Sounds plausible. I wouldn't be surprised if they announce two high-end models, perhaps a slimmer 922 without OIS and then a PureView monster box?
I heard there will be no bulge and the screen's lesser than 5 inches..
cost is too high..might be around 50k INR.. take with a pinch of salt though
Would nice if true, but how looooooooongg do we wait?
At this point I'd be happy with at least the N8′s daylight performance and the Lumia 920′s night time and video stabilization capabilities in a slimmer package. But if they can pull this one off….
yes please, i want one.
Now I'm feeling kind of sad for getting the 920. I really want to have a 41mp Nokia phone with OIS and the night shooting.
Are you serious?
This is just a rumour and you can be sure, that this EOS won't be available until X-Mas 2013.
You can expect a new line of mobile phone models from any manufacturer once a year.
Any device announced at MWC will absolutely be available sometime in the spring.
I have some stock
The Verge spread rumors
If EOS is *NOT* announced at MWC
I'm going to sue them for this
I think the Verge is pushing people NOT TO BUY the new Lumia 920!
They do it in purpose to harm Nokia stock owners
That is going to cost BILLIONS to the Verge
Couple of nitpicks
1) The Verge indicates the Catwalk (Aluminium 920) and EOS are different devices.
2) The EOS is not the official name, it was probably chosen as the internal codename because they want it to be as good as Canon's high end cams.
3) Windows RT tablet. DOA :\
Let it have a Xenon and I'm sold…
Eos has nothing to do with Canon, it's probably just the name of the godess of dawn in the greek mythology
What Nokia really need is for some of these rumours to start crossing over in to non-nokia blogs, tech and mainstream news sites to build interest in what Nokia are/might be doing in the near future. All these wild guessing rumours are pre-marketing gold, growing general public awareness and excitement, increasing demand.
Aluminium, eh? Maybe these weren't fake then, but concepts or something like that for catwalk/eos:
or by EOS they're saying this cameraphones going to rival or best one of them
want that with min. 4.3″ screen and, with FM TRANSMITTER……… best without wp 8crap , but we cannot prevent that i guess :@:@;(;(;(;(
FM Transmitter was cool, but get with the times, bro. Bluetooth works better, further and with much better audio quality now, especially in Nokia's hands. Using a Play 360 or PlayUp kicks using an old boom box square in the balls.
I am a N8-00 user and Lumia 920 user. Bluetooth range on both is superior to the FM Transmitter by a long shot
but neverthelss , i got old car without bluetooth and with unswitchable double din implemented radio …….
maybe if ill get a new car in maybe , 10 years or so , ill switch over to bluetooth guys, i am a poor man ….
