I have SEVEN years of tutoring experience, and enjoy tutoring as an excuse to stay sharp on topics outside my primary field of study - Molecular Biophysics and Structural Biology - jointly appointed at Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
I can be very flexible with scheduling if you can meet near Oakland or Shadyside.
I earned my B.S. in Physics from Penn State, University Park, as well as minors in Bio-Engineering, Mathematics, and Biochemistry & Molecular Biology.
Although test prep is not my preferred topic, I did score in the 95% on my GRE, which I mention only to further emphasize the broad range of my academic interest.
A nice quote that sums up my tutoring philosophy:
"A skilled tutor makes few statements and asks many questions, for she knows that questioning, wondering, and discussing promote long-lasting learning." ~ Sanjoy Mahajan in Street-Fighting Mathematics.

Ben is an incredibly knowledgeable and effective tutor. His deep understanding of core concepts in Physics allows him to break down even the toughest problem into a manageable solution. After a few lessons with Ben, he is able to analyze your weak points and works with your learning style to develop a successful approach. Ben's help enabled me to ace both Physics 1 and 2 in a very compressed time frame.
I met with Ben for my Calculus 2 course (considered to be one of the harder courses at my university). Very flexible in terms of setting up times to meet up and have a session, responds quickly to email, patient if you find yourself struggling with a topic. Makes sure you understand the basics behind the material. Will walk you through problems without solving them for you, and will give you the necessary tools to later on solve problems by yourself.
What struck me was he would go the extra mile if there was a problem or concept you couldn't figure out during the session, and would later email you an explanation (usually within a day). HE's very knowledgeable but isn't afraid to admit that he's made a mistake or wrong about a concept or a problem. In conclusion, he helped me go from near failing one of my university's hardest courses to passing it. I would definitely recommend.
I started working with Ben for a sprint finish of a difficult, engineering-geared undergrad calculus course (last 1/4 of the class). He was very quick to respond, and even though he had a busy schedule, he quickly found time to fit me in. I am not a quantitatively oriented guy - I haven't had a math class in years, but needed it for a grad program I'm starting. I explained to Ben what my learning needs and expectations for the outcome of the course were, and he quickly set about ensuring I met my goals.
At first, I was a bit embarrassed about my quant skills (or really, lack thereof), but he quickly put my anxiety at ease and I became comfortable saying, "I don't follow." This then made it immediately clear that Ben is very skilled at explaining conceptually difficult material, as well as how that material tied in to the rest of the course. Ben was skilled at getting me to the "Ah-Ha" moments. He would make sure I understood the information and wasn't just nodding along in agreement, and he was always happy to find a different way of explaining a concept if necessary.
He knew how to tutor most effectively depending on the material and situation. For example, he had a great sense of what material I needed a deeper understanding of, but he was also comfortable telling me what information I should just memorize and move on with if the concept wasn't important (recall, I told him I was short on time). Though I hope I don't have any more difficult quant classes that require a tutor, I would absolutely give Ben a call if I needed one. He's a polite, funny, and thorough guy who is dedicated to making sure you get the information you need.
Ben has been my tutor for the past month and a half and I have nothing but great remarks about him. He has helped me dramatically increase my physics test score grades from the first to the second exam. Not only does he know the material at an expert level, he has the ability that very few people have, and that is to convey the information in a way that anyone could understand and conceptualize what he is talking about.
Ben has allowed me to become more confident in what I know and presents a calming personality if I do not know a topic rather than getting disappointed or say harsh words to me. If you are lucky enough to ask him to tutor you and he is not drowning in his studies or research, do not hesitate to hire him; he's both friendly and professional.
A note about the above statement: although he is working on his research and takes classes for a graduate level degree, he is very accessible and I never have a hard time fitting one session in a week (sometimes 2 a week); you just have to be a little flexible and figure out times that work for both of you.
Benjamin worked hard helping my son prepare for finals. He was always on time and has a very calming personality. He really wanted my son to do well and it paid off, my son got a B in his class due to the effort of Ben.
Overall, good tutor. He did go on facebook during the lesson and he at times showed his frustration at the student. Overall, the lesson was good.
Hemanth was perhaps one of the brightest students I've worked with recently; I can hardly imagine what he might have interpreted as frustration.
As for setting up the initial lessons with Hemanth's Mother, I did express frustration with her poor email etiquette, as it took several exchanges to get the most basic information to set up a tutoring session. Perhaps this is what the review refers to.
Regarding Facebook: I'm not sure what you are referring to. A quick check shows that I didn't access FB at any point during the entire day for two of our lessons. Are you referring to the lesson where I was kept waiting for 10 min in the den while Hemanth finished his shower, because he forgot his schedule?
If you have any constructive, or at least accurate criticism that could help me go from 'good' to 'great' I'd love to hear it!
All the best.
He helped me to draw a picture of the concept I needed to know. Answers emails in a very timely manner.
Ben is one of the best tutors that my daughter has experienced for Physics and Calculus to date. She connected with him instantly with his calm and clear teaching abilities. She has brought her grade up significantly and has gained her confidence back with these AP subjects with Ben's help. I highly recommend him to any student.
Ben is a great tutor. I am a graduate student going for my MBA, and I needed to find a tutor for my Managerial Statistics class. Because this is a graduate level class, I found it was hard to find a qualified tutor who could help me at this level. Ben has made it easy for me to grasp the concepts and apply them in my class. I am half way through this course, and I currently have an A thanks to Ben. He is very knowledgeable in mathematics at a very high level. If you need a tutor in advanced math, he is your guy.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Differential Equations are foundational for the math that most Engineers and Physical scientists will study/ use in practice.
Aside from their applications in higher level courses, I also took an honors course in differential equations during my time at Penn State.
The central dogma of molecular biology (an unfortunate misnomer we can thank Francis Crick for) is that heritable information is coded into DNA, functions by being transferred to RNA, and finally to proteins.
The field of genetics seeks to understand the the mechanisms by which this information is used, for example in development, or misused, for example in cancer.
You may hear the term "post genomic era" which refers to the fact that we have succeeded in obtaining a full set of this genetic information for our species (and many others). It might be better referred to as the "genomic era" as it we are now figuring out how to understand and apply these important findings.
My particular research interests tend toward something called epigenetics - structural and chemical changes outside of the DNA code that are still carriers of heritable information.
Whether or not you realize it, linear algebra is the most used branch of mathematics. At least in the sense that it is the language used to describe and solve nearly all "real world" problems that do not have an exact solution.
The fundamental concepts are as important as the computations themselves, and a mastery of the topic requires daily practice much like studying a foreign language.
Aside from taking a course specifically on Linear Algebra at PSU, I continue to put it to use in my current work. An example of which is the improvement of image processing software used in cryo-Electron Tomography.
I make difficult subjects accessible and love watching the-Aha!-moment

She also said that Lord Shiva was reason for everthing and very existence of this world. She described the greatness of Shiva Panchakshari that it was the base of all mantras and all of them were born from that Panchakshari mantra.Any thing with which we are blessed in this life is only a product of which we have sacrificed to Lord Shiva in our previous life(purva janma).

Rock the Boat (The Hues Corporation song)

|The Hues Corporation singles chronology
"Rock the Boat" is a song by American disco group The Hues Corporation in 1974. "Rock the Boat" was written by Waldo Holmes, who also wrote the Blacula songs. "Rock the Boat" was first featured on The Hues Corporation's 1973 album, Freedom for the Stallion (a different edit version, which was the single, later appeared on certain editions of the band's follow-up album, 1974's Rockin' Soul).[1] It was released as the second single from the album in early 1974 to follow-up Stallion's title song, which had peaked at #63 on the Hot 100.
Initially, "Rock the Boat" appeared as though it would flop, as months went by without any radio airplay or sales activity. Not until the song became a disco/club favorite in New York did Top 40 radio finally pick up on the song, leading the record to finally enter the Hot 100 and zip up the chart to #1 the week of July 6, 1974, in only its seventh week on the chart (and fourth week in the Top 40). The record also reached the top 10 in the United Kingdom (number 6). "Rock the Boat" is considered one of the earliest disco songs. Some authorities proclaim it to be the first disco song to hit #1, while others give that distinction to "Love's Theme" by Love Unlimited Orchestra, a chart-topper from earlier in 1974. The song became a gold record. It is a heavy airplay favorite on oldie and adult-contemporary stations today.
The song features a lead vocal by Fleming Williams, who left The Hues Corporation shortly after the song was recorded. According to The Billboard Book of Number One Hits by Fred Bronson, the lone female member of the group, H. Ann Kelly, had originally been pegged to sing lead, but this idea was discarded out of fear that groups with female lead singers were less commercially viable. The bass player on the session was Wilton Felder, not James Jamerson as previously reported.
The Hues Corporation member St. Clair Lee claims "It was a song that you could do anything on. You could cuddle or you could get crazy if you wanted to. It was a love song without being a love song. But, it was a Disco hit and it happened because of the discos."[2]
The song features a change in meter during the pre-chorus "We've been sailing with a cargo full of love and devotion" where it is 7
4 for one measure while the rest of the song is in common time. The 'Rock the Boat' dance also a favourite at weddings and birthday parties and involves many people sitting down in a row and 'rowing' a boat to the tune of the song.
Samples and covers[edit]
"Rock the Boat" was covered in 1982 by the Dutch/American singer Forrest Thomas. His version also made the UK top five (number 4) and the top 10 of the American Dance/Disco chart. Jacob Miller and the Inner Circle cut a reggae version of the song in 1974.
There is a reference to the song's distinctive bridge in Jurassic 5 track "Concrete Schoolyard".
Singaporean band Lizard's Convention also covered the song in the 1990s.
Richard Finch of KC and the Sunshine Band has said that "Rock The Boat" played a partial role in inspiring the hit "Rock Your Baby".[3] The song was also featured in the 1993 film Carlito's Way, the 1996 film The Cable Guy, the 1999 film Man on the Moon, the HBO series The Sopranos (Season 2, episode 5, Big Girls Don't Cry), commercial for M&M's, and (sung in character by Seth MacFarlane as Glenn Quagmire, Patrick Warburton as Joe Swanson, and Mike Henry as Cleveland Brown) the Family Guy episode A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas.The song appeared in the 1997 movie The Devil's Own with Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt, and a short extract of the refrain ("Love is a ship on the ocean..") in the 2015 movie The Martian directed by Ridley Scott and starring Matt Damon.
One of the furthest reaches "Rock The Boat" has made has been on the Australian series Playschool in a program theme about water.[4]

Customer Reviews
Towelfight 2
Towelfight 2 was the second Butterscotch Shenanigans game that I got into. Quadropus Rampage clicked with me so much that I just had to snag it. It's a fantastic dual-stick adventure with quite a bit of originality, loads of humor and some great mechanics. If you're a fan of the genre, you should really check it out. Hell, even if you're not, it might just win you over.
I love this game! It used to be 2.99 and I bought it. Then it went a try before you buy model and it asks me to buy it again. Well you know what? I'm ok with that cause these guys rock and this game is awesome! So shut up and take my money (again)
Fun if imperfect
Fun, and deeper than it appears to be at first glance. The graphics leave much to be desired and it's not easy to tell when you're in danger, or even where you are all the time, but the game's unique style and quirky humor more than make up for its shortcomings.

The Santa Clause 2 (Bilingual)
~ Tim Allen
43 used & new
4.0 out of 5 stars
Yes, yes semi-disapointed in the 2nd, hopefull for the 3rd.
May 17 2004
This review is from:
The Santa Clause 2 (Bilingual) (DVD)
Now, I'm a full blooded Christmas fan (my birthday is Dec. 20th) So I know first hand what I like to see in a X-mas movie. The first Santa Clause was wonderfully charming, the elves were cute and held a certain air about them that screamed "Holidays!! Whoo!..Now get back to work!!" and I simply adored Tim Allen as Santa Clause he gave a fun air to the film that made me rush out and buy it asap.
So of course many ayear later when I heard about a 2nd one you can bet your bottom dollar I was that teenager in the front row giggling at Clone-clause, as soon as the movie started
I found myself amused (well...most of the time.) by the movie.
It had funny and touching moments, it had a few good new characters. I.e. the tooth fairy, Father time, mother nature and clone-clause. And a few not so good ones. I.e. Cupit, Cutis, the easter bunny, Comet...
But what I found myself most disapointed in was the old characters themselfs!! They seem've changed so much within what ohh, 6-8 years? Charlie was a reble? Laura and Neil were bland worring parents and the elves?!
Oh god don't get me started on the elves! I missed Judy! and the old costumes and set and I hated Curtis' mood swings!
As for Bernard? where did my gruff, protective big brother elf go? Now he's winny, pensive and unsure of hiself? Come on!
Now...I understand that David K. (Bernard) Was only 16 when he played the role in the first movie and that he was 24 in the 2nd but come on!! Why did the director have them change so much? Oooohh yeah a little birdy told me about him (Check out interviews with him on google for yourselfs) and that birdy told me he had a meeting with Tim Allen and had him change the other actors view points on their characters, you know, make them a little disney-er? Not sure if its true, watch the DVD for yourselfs and tell me if you like him on the set I sure didn't.
Over all:
I WAS disapointed in the 2nd movie, I held more hope that the characters and movie world/set would stay the same but it didn't, and I was highly upset by the new Comet, but over all. If your a fan of the first, check out the 2nd and see for yourselfs. As for me? I hold hope tight in my heart that the third and forth will be golden, after all, its the same crew/director that did the first and I'm hoping that somewhere out there Tim Allen and David K. along with the rest of the crew will find it in their hearts to dig out the old Santa Clause characters they played in the first one.
For I sure do miss em.

Happy Holidays.

Bluffton High School will host holiday tennis day camps Dec. 28-29 and Jan. 2-3.
Players ages 5-17 will participate in drills and match play from 9-10:45 a.m. Racquets will be provided.
The University of South Carolina Beaufort women's soccer team solidified a number of first-time accomplishments Saturday.

A report from Comic-Con 2016 on the various ways to celebrate the 50th anniversary of "Star Trek."
Beverly Hills, Nov. 4, 1968. In 24 hours, Nixon will be making his victory speech on television, pledging an open administration. In 40 hours, George, a hairdresser, will have negotiated the ruins of three affairs, bedded tentatively with a possible new recruit and seen the wreckage of his delusions. "Shampoo" never quite connects its images of national mediocrity and personal self-deception, but maybe it doesn't need to; maybe the message is that in a nation that doesn't connect, doesn't trust authenticity, what you get is a Nixon in the White House and a stranger in bed.
George is played by Warren Beatty as a star Beverly Hills hairdresser ("The heads come to me") and sexual athlete. He makes love cheerfully with various clients, not so much because he's promiscuous as because he's driven, and always has been: "As long as I can remember, when I see a pretty girl and I go after her and I make her, it's like I'm gonna live forever."
It's a sunny vision, but during the 40 or so hours covered in "Shampoo" he gets too many pretty girls and too many private lives mixed up, and is left facing a future without the woman he (possibly) really does love. That his future also contains Nixon and Agnew is something he never reflects on and perhaps has not noticed; he moves through a thicket of news broadcasts and election-night parties totally engrossed in his own confusions.
He's living with Jill (Goldie Hawn), a wide-eyed and rather simple creature who naively believes she has him to herself. Jill's best friend is Jackie (Julie Christie), who knows a lot better. Jackie and George had an affair going at one time, and they return to it occasionally, but at the moment Jackie is being kept by Lester (Jack Warden), an orange haired tycoon with vaguely sinister connections. Oh, and Lester's wife Felicia (Lee Grant) is one of George's clients down at the salon and in bed. George also succeeds, during the course of the film, in seducing or being seduced by Lester's daughter, so he has the poor guy surrounded.
The sexual gymnastics aren't the movie's point, however, and the sex scenes are never developed in an erotic manner. They're directed by Hal Ashby more as symptoms of George's dilemma, which is that he likes being loving and kind, he listens to his clients and sometimes even really does care about their problems, but in some final way he's too blocked to develop a deep relationship, to really give himself.
At the end, when he tries, when he proposes marriage to Jackie, it's too late and his proposal is doomed anyway -- because Lester's Rolls Royce and a marriage in Acapulco are waiting, and George should have known Jackie was that sort of person in the first place.
"Shampoo" is a movie I expected to admire enormously. It was made by some of Hollywood's most gifted talents, and the critical praise from New York has been almost deafening. But the movie didn't quite work for me. Its timing wasn't confident enough to pull off its ambitious conception. It wasn't as funny as it could have been in the funny places (as when Lester, who should only know the truth, speculates that George is gay). It isn't as savage as it could have been in its satire (a Nixon crowd's election-night party bogs down in a pointless series of what sounds like college yells from a U.S. senator, whose behavior is so implausible it doesn't work as anything). And it's not as poignant as it could be in its moments of truth, because we can see the wheels turning. We can sense that the movie's providing obligatory scenes instead of engaging us in a series of discoveries about its characters.
I wonder how audiences will respond to "Shampoo." It reportedly drew great responses here when previewed for student crowds, but I saw it at a sneak preview jam-packed with cosmetologists and hairdressers, and the people behind me (who provided a nonstop display of vulgar, loud commentary) missed not only the point but apparently even the boat. During the movie's final long shot, with George lonely on a hill overlooking Beverly Hills and Jackie receding from his life, they were talking about the scenery.

Some post on the blog has to be the first one. So, here it is. I'll start with a bit about me, because it's my blog, after all.
I've been at Microsoft for over 7 years, most of those spent in working on Windows Media projects, such as the Windows Media Player SDK and the VC-1 Encoder SDKs. Usually, my job is to write the documentation and create samples and example code. It's a fun job the lets me be the first customer for some of the SDKs that Microsoft releases. I get to explore the technology, write some code, and then write the documentation that helps developers use the APIs. Before working at Microsoft, I never gave much thought to how these things were created. Now, I'm convinced I have the most fun job in the company.
Prior to working at Microsoft, I spent many years as an audio mixing engineer, working on live production shows and in recording studios. I was a mostly self-taught programmer and at one point I decided I wanted a way to control all the hardware devices I used to run production shows. Pretty much all of those devices (mixing consoles, effectors, etc.) had MIDI jacks, so I wrote myself some software to create event playlists. Over time, this grew into ShowPro MIDI, which was a fairly comprehensive program that could also control audio playback and run MIDI Show Control-enabled devices. The software was eventually used by engineers on and off Broadway, in showrooms in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, in theaters in far-flung places like Australia and Germany, and even in the making of The Matrix II and III films as a lighting control package.
Four months ago, I joined a great team that creates new technologies for Windows. In the past, this team developed the Tablet PC, the Ultra-Mobile PC, and more recently, Windows SideShow. We also have lots of other cool stuff in the works, and I'll write about those technologies when I can.
Microsoft has a very goal-oriented culture, so, here are my main goals for this blog:
I think this will be fun!

Stockholm, Sweden — Iranian female activists staged a topless protest targeting the hijab — a head covering that Muslim women are required by their religion to wear.
The activists shed most of their clothes during the protest in Stockholm and painted slogans on their bodies as a way of getting their message across.
The women involved in the topless protest are members of the Iranian Communist Party, as well as the Organization Against Violence on Women in Iran, reports Digital Journal.
The protest was organized in Stockholm on Sunday and dedicated to International Women's Day, which will be celebrated on March 8. Images from the Iranian activists' topless protest are on display on FEMEN's official website.
FEMEN is a "sextremist" activist group notorious for their topless protests around Europe. The group expressed their support to the Iranian activists, adding that "in the historical battle 'woman v. Islam' women will win!"
Al Arabiya notes that the activists stripped off their tops and bras and protested with the slogans "My nudity is my protest" and "No to hijab" written on their bodies. They also carried signs showing FEMEN protests. One anti-Islamist Egyptian activist, Alia al-Mahdi, also expressed her support for the protest.
Al-Mahdi angered Egyptians last year when she protested topless against the country's draft constitution. She appeared in the FEMEN protest in Stockholm with an Egyptian flag. Writings on her body said, "Sharia is not constitution."
(Video is NSFW)
FEMEN is a Ukranian topless movement. They recently teamed up with Al-Mahdi in order to attract attention to "the threat of Islamization of the Egyptian constitution and the introduction of [Mohamed] Morsi's Shariah Law."
Al-Mahdi explained that she chose to protest topless "because of the ideas that say we do not own our bodies and that we are public property, as people are the ones who decided what should be done with our bodies." She added, "Of course, if we want to make change, we have to do it unlike the way it is done."
The group also demonstrates against sex tourism, international marriage agencies, sexism, religions institutions, and other social issues. The movement is inspiring other women to stand up for their rights by removing their clothes.
Do you think the Iranian activists' topless protest will help change opinion on the hijab?

When it comes to slam dunks, the Clippers have two of the NBAs best in Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. But Eric Bledsoe? The Clippers point guard, whose status has been elevated from reserve to starter with the recent injury to Chris Paul, was named to compete in the slam-dunk contest at All-Star weekend in Houston on Feb. 16. The league announced the selection Thursday of Bledsoe, New Yorks James White, Denvers Kenneth Faried, Torontos Terrence Ross and past winners Jeremy Evans of Utah and Gerald Green of Indiana. The league will use a new format for the contest, pitting Western Conference against Eastern Conference. Bledsoe is only 6-foot-1, but hes shown an ability to throw down some impressive dunks this season, especially after steals. Hes an exceptional leaper and has 43 blocked shots, second only to Jordan (71) on the team. Pretty much everybody watches the dunk contest, so the NBA selecting me means they think Ive got a chance to win, Bledsoe told the teams website, Clippers.com. Its a great situation. Griffin won the dunk contest in 2011, leaping over a car for his winning dunk. Jordan has never competed in the contest, saying he wouldnt take part until he made the all-star team first.

The reign of George W. Bush is nearing an end, so it's time to cram in as many satires and parables as possible before he's ousted. Nth Degree Productions is doing its patriotic part by performing The Madness of King Georgie Bush, opening this Friday, July 18, for a two-week run at the VSA North Fourth Arts Center (4904 Fourth Street NW). This "misunderestimated" theatrical performance is sure to cause some congressional-sized laughs on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. through July 27. Tickets are $10 (cash only, please) and reservations can be made by calling 702-7692. Hope it's presidential!

At nearly 6,000 square feet, the gallery has laid claim to being the largest contemporary art space in Albuquerque with aspirations to match. According to its website , "SCA is dedicated to facilitating space for experimental, innovative and contemporary art. ...

The Enchantress of Florence by Salman Rushdie
Review by John Freeman
The Enchantress of Florence
In the 16th century, a tall, blond foreigner rides into the heart of the Mughal Empire wearing a strange overcoat and bearing a letter from the Queen of England. The man, calling himself Magor dell'Amore, claims he has a story to tell—a tale he must deliver to the emperor, Akbar the Great, himself. If this traveler makes one wrong move, he will be killed. By meeting with this man, however, Akbar places his own life at risk. Perhaps this stranger brings not an anecdote, but a spell.

In 2007, Clayton and his wife, Debra, began the most extensive renovation of the building in almost 100 years. The process took 18 months to complete.
Clayton said their office has history in the floors and walls that you can't get in a new building.

Namaste everyone! I don't check this group often enough, so I apologize if there has already been a recent post about this.
I am 3 days shy of 20 weeks (YAY!) and signed up for prenatal yoga starting this week (YAY). I have been a Hatha (+H flow)practitioner for maybe 3 years, and about 6 months before getting pregnant, I went to class about 4 days a week at level 2. Once morning sickness began, I dropped off the proverbial yoga planet, but am so eager for this Thursday so that I may begin again. Yet the prenatal class I am taking is soooo expensive 110 for an 8 class pass (1.5 hrs each), and once a week.
I plan on practicing the moves we do in class at home during week, but would like an honest opinion from a momma practitioner +/or yoga instructor as to how many days a week of actual class would be really ideal for preparing my muscles for birth. I know I would be more diligent if I went to more classes instead of just practicing at home. I would like to do yoga instead of Kegel exercises per se (but am not totally opposed to them, I just know yoga.) My back has been very sore at night as well. Swimming hasn't been as inspiring for me, now that the weather has turned. I have thought about signing up forĀnon-prental Hatha yoga again as well, and just doing level 1 stuff, and of course letting the instructor know. Those classes are a bit cheaper than the prenatals :)
Any adive would be much appreciated.
Thank you :)

Toyota will raise its prices for almost all Toyota models by 1.2% to 2.2%, the automaker announced today. Most Lexus models will see similar price bumps, but most prices for Scion models will remain the same or decrease. Destination fees will remain the same.
The price increases go into effect at the beginning of May for North American-produced Toyotas such as the Camry and when Japanese-produced vehicles — including the 4Runner, Corolla, FJ Cruiser, Highlander Hybrid, Land Cruiser, Prius, RAV4, Yaris hatchback and Scion xD — arrive in the U.S. sometime in May.
Midcycle price increases are typical for all automakers. Toyota says the increases were planned well before the Japanese earthquake and the subsequent concerns surrounding parts availability. "These price adjustments were decided upon prior to the earthquake itself," said Toyota spokesman Greg Thome. "The price increases were based off different market factors and seeing where our competition was pricing its models."
The Toyota Tacoma, Yaris sedan, Scion tC and xB, Lexus CT 200h and LFA will keep their current pricing structure.
Below we include a list of the top models and their price change:

Sum any set of rows by clicking anywhere (not red or blue) on the
first and last rows of your selection. We will then compute the
totals for the player between and including those two seasons.
Default Setting for this feature: Turn On / Turn Off
Summation of season totals only works for the initial case when the table is in year order. On a sorted table the results may get a bit goofy.
HIGHLIGHTING: Adding a range or series of player's career seasons or career game numbers (like '#1972:batting_standard', '#1970-1980-sum:batting_standard', or '#1998,1999,2001,2002,sum:pitching_standard') onto the end of a player page url causes the seasons to the highlighted and summed. After changing address bar, reload the page to see highlighting. This will work even in links e-mailed to others. Note that for tables with multiple pages the first table is the default. If you want to create a sum for a table other than the first one, select the rows and after the summation window appears click on "permanent link" link.

I'm working on an iPad app using cocos2d, and I'm trying to make it possible to either choose a picture from the library, or take a picture using the camera, to use within the app. I've been googling like mad all day yesterday and today to try and fudge together something to do the above, but I should probably begin by admitting that I don't really know what I'm doing.
The way I have it working right now, you tap the current user image, and it brings up a menu asking if you want to upload a different picture from the camera or the library. Choosing camera calls the following (and the library version is basically the same):
- (void) onGetCameraImage
UIImagePickerController* imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePicker.delegate = self;
imagePicker.allowsEditing = NO;
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
[imagePicker presentViewController:[CCDirector sharedDirector] animated:YES completion:NULL];
When I try and test this (picking library, of course, since the simulator can't do camera, and yes I do intend to implement the check for no camera), I get the following crash:
2013-04-07 19:21:50.248 prototype1[20897:c07] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Application tried to present modally an active controller <UIImagePickerController: 0x9e87ac0>.'
I think it's crashing on the
presentViewController call, but I'm having a terrible time trying to find out what I'm doing wrong because all of the tutorials and stackoverflow answers use the deprecated modal function call! I suspect I'm just doing all sorts of crazy BS in my previous code? Either way, I have no idea how to get my code to work.
A lot of this code has been gleaned from stack overflow, so I can't guarantee the sensibility of any of it - I'm very new to iOS coding, was basically thrown into this project and we're just trying to make it work. Please help!

£1m a month for JCoSS
July 11, 2008
JCoSS, the inclusive Jewish secondary school opening in Barnet in 2010, has raised £5.5 million towards its £10 million target in just over five months. The news was released this week as JCoSS announced its first 11 governors.
The governors — including two school heads, marketing experts, a lawyer and a circuit-court judge —will be joined by chair and vice-chair Robert Shrager and Mike Grabiner, whose appointments were announced previously.
Mr Shrager was delighted "not just by the quantity but the quality of the applications which we received".
The governors are Ian Abrahams, Alon Avner, Emma Cravitz, Pam Goldsmith, Joanne Harris, Helena Miller, Fredda Hurwitz, Irene Kay, Jeremy Kosky, Robert Lobatto and Lisa Wimborne.

Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
From our August issue: Clinical-Style Validation,...
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Complete Genomics will bundle Ingenuity Systems' Variant Analysis application with its research whole-genome sequencing services. The firms say this bundled solution will enable research customers to analyze and interpret biologically relevant genetic variations and provide scientists with a fully integrated sample-to-insight workflow.
Researchers using Complete's services will now be able to identify and prioritize variants in hours, a process that otherwise can take weeks to months. Variant Analysis leverages the Ingenuity Knowledge Base and advanced analytics to speed the identification and prioritization of variants through the application of relevant biological information and additional variant-specific content.
"The combination of Ingenuity and Complete Genomics yields a powerful workflow for the analysis of whole-genome data," says Gustavo Glusman, senior research scientist at the Institute for Systems Biology. "It makes it very easy and fast to go all the way from DNA samples to insights about disease-causing variants. . . . Using the Ingenuity Variant Analysis system, we quickly identified novel candidate variants for a rare hereditary disease that we studied using Complete Genomics' whole-genome sequence data."
As part of this agreement, Complete's customers using Ingenuity Variant Analysis will receive access to the Wellderly whole-genome sequence dataset being developed in collaboration with Scripps Health. This dataset, which will eventually include 1,000 healthy volunteers' genomes, will be a control for genetic studies of late-onset diseases such as various cancers, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. Access to this control data set will involve selecting a single check box to remove the common variants found in the Wellderly dataset.

Patient Comments: Spider Bites - Symptoms
Please describe your symptoms associated with a spider bite.
Comment from: Doogaf87, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: May 17
Initially I had a small red and dark area on my ankle after the spider bite. I cleaned and dressed the wound. Day 2 was extremely painful with red encircling my malleolus. Day 3 I had a necrotic lesion about 2 to 3 cm. I went to the doctor and started Bactrim. Day 4, it is still painful and swollen. I have foot cramps, lower back and neck pain. Day 4 I am healing but have sciatica and low back/neck pain, and bite area is numb.
Comment from: Guy, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: December 16
Spider bite on left foot discolored the vein at bite location. A short while later a small quantity of hives formed where clothes applied some pressure to the skin i.e., beltline, shirt cuffs, underwear elastic, socks and shoe lace area. There have been some measure of hives (physical urticaria) since, with one neck to knee full body outbreak. I was told hives can last up to two years. I treat with moisturizing soaps, Benadryl, and sometimes prednisone. The hives drive me crazy. Good days, bad days, I can't wait until this thing runs its course and I am back to normal.
Comment from: Don, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: August 27
I had swelling, cold, chills, pain from wrist to elbow and stiffness in joints. I did not see the spider.
Comment from: Eric, 55-64 Male (Caregiver) Published: July 08
Yesterday my husband was bitten by a spider, not sure what type, but he was in the woods repairing the roof of the shed. He moved some wood stuff out of the way on the ground, and all of a sudden he said it hurt terribly. I heard him hobbling in from outside yelping from pain. He saw a spider but not sure of color due to knocking it off so fast. He was in so much pain. The pain was intense, burning and stinging and lasted many hours. He went to the hospital and they gave him pain medications, but the stinging continued. He is better today, but there are 2 marks where fangs went in, large ones. He said the spider was small like about dime size, no red area today. The big thing with this type spider was the pain and stinging sensation for many hours. I hear the hobo spider is about the same as brown recluse, so watch out for that one too.
Comment from: Dahelp, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: April 13
I have a small blister, dark red in center of 4 x 4 in red circle. It is burning like fire, hard as a rock and underneath skin it hurts to touch. The pain is spreading down to my knee and top of inner thigh. My body is freezing and leg is on fire, I am sleepy and nauseated. I don't know what bit me, I was putting mason jars in an old dark shed that had spiders in it. Nothing I do helps. Antibiotic creams or opening center bump that was white, now dark red. There are small blisters around the center bump.
Comment from: lew, 65-74 Male (Patient) Published: June 24
My wife got up and found 4 spots that looked like bites, around her middle, and they seem to be real sore. I've checked around the bed and the chair she sits most of the day in and can't find any sign of spiders.
Comment from: Joe, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: October 06
I went fishing one night in an area that is known to have lots and lots of spiders (the local lock and piers). The spiders have webs all over the rail system. I generally pay no attention to them. I got home early on a Friday morning from a night of fishing and noticed my left forearm was itching like crazy. I went to bed and got up a few hours later and noticed some swelling. The swelling increased over the course of the day and as an outdoorsman that has been bitten by just about everything there is, I paid it no mind. I got to bed Friday night. I woke up Saturday morning and panic set in. My left forearm was about 3 times the size it should be. Blisters were starting to pop up all around my forearm and the swelling had moved into my hand and up into by bicep area. It's actually very hard to describe how big the swelling was; my skin was so tight it was starting to split open. I went to the emergency room. They could not diagnose what type of spider it was. I was admitted and put on a constant antibiotic and steroid drip for 5 days and 4 nights. I was later told had I waited much longer, I could have lost my arm.

Web Site: http://www.apeswillrise.com/
Description: "Rise of the Apes", a completely new take on one of the Studio's most beloved and successful franchises. Oscar-winning visual effects house WETA Digital -- employing certain of the groundbreaking technologies developed for AVATAR -- will render, for the first time ever in the film series, photo-realistic apes rather than costumed actors. "Rise of the Apes" is an origin story in the truest sense of the term. Set in present day San Francisco, the film is a reality-based cautionary tale, a science fiction/science fact blend, where man's own experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy.

Cranberry Waldorf Salad
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 24 hrs
This is an old family recipe. I don't know where it came from originally. I am made to bring this salad every Thanksgiving, my sister says it's not really Thanksgiving without it! It does sit overnight to mellow the cranberries, but the prep is quick.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 12 -16 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 (10 ounce) bag mini marshmallows
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tart green apple, chopped
- 1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
- 1⁄2 cup broken walnuts or 1⁄2 cup pecans
- Rinse the cranberries and remove any stems or leaves.
- Grind the cranberries and marshmallows together using a meat grinder or chop in a food processor.
- Turn the cranberry mixture into a bowl and add the sugar.
- Stir well, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Next day, whip the cream to soft peaks, then gently stir into cranberry mixture.
- Add the chopped apple (do not peel it), halved grapes and nuts and just mix through.
Most Helpful
I've been making this for Thanksgiving for over 20 years. Now everyone in the family asks for it. I do not grind the Marshmallow, but add them whole. The best part is the day after! It's the most asked for leftover!
DEFINITELY A WINNER OF A SALAD! As with many other recipes, when I can, I used toasted pecans here, though otherwise I followed the recipe & had a wonderful addition to a lunch buffet! Will be making this again especially during the winter holidays! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my partners in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #22]
This Waldorf fruit salad was delicious and very pretty Sheynath. I enjoyed all the flavors and textures in this dish. The salad was light and creamy, tart, sweet and tangy. Thanks so much for sharing, a dish that I will make again and again.

(ATLS:NYSE). This is more of a small-cap name. The current yield is about 3.3%, but it has the highest distribution growth of any company that we cover right now. The distribution is currently $1 per unit, and we see it growing to $1.87 per unit for the full year 2013. Atlas is unique in that it owns the general partner of two separate companies. One company is Atlas Resource Partners L.P. (ARP:NYSE) and the other is Atlas Pipeline Partners L.P. (APL:NYSE). The Atlas Pipeline assets are in some of the best basins—Oklahoma, Mississippi and West Texas—where there is a tremendous amount of expansion opportunities. We believe Atlas Pipeline will be growing cash flow by 10% or so over the next year. Atlas Resource Partners is a unique exploration and production (E&P) company with very little debt on its balance sheet that has been out buying assets from distressed E&P companies. The combination of the organic build at Atlas Pipeline Partners and the acquisition and production growth story at Atlas Resource Partners is fueling Atlas Energy L.P. Our target for Atlas Energy L.P. is $48. We see a lot of upside there.
$1.87???Well, I'm less optimistic. I believe I saw much higher estimates for 2013 at the end of 2011. NGL pricing is hurting, but I'm really waiting to hear about the expansions and if they are on schedule.I'd take $1.87 as it would mean we would be at about .50 in the 4th quarter. Its a long way from .25 to .50.Jim - any comment on ARP's acquisition?
ARP Love the business plan. Buying producing properties and hedging cashflow positive. Biggest advantage IMO is getting the drilling locations basically for free. These will be sold to the partnership program at good returns to partners but great returns to ARP. I hope they do some more as drilling inventory is what will make this a most compelling story. That and I suspect we have seen a major bottom in natural gas prices. Prices should overshoot on the upside if gas behaves like most markets. This should pull up ethane and propane for a while and the Atlas companies will be very profitable. I should hope this will happen in the next 2 years. Negative is if the U.S. actually starts using a lot more of methane the associated NGL's might keep that market over supplied for a very long time. APL has so much growth ahead of it that maybe lower margins on a lot more volume will be fine. Still a very compelling growth story. jim
Thanks, Jim.I am going to guess that this is the analyst from Morgan Stanley who authored the positive report that Bosox-Pats mentioned a while back. Not sure how the $1.87 compares to previous estimates for 2013 but it will work for me.BigEaRljr

File contrib/admin/views/main.py; Line 326:
for bit in self.query.split(): or_queries = [models.Q(**{construct_search(field_name): bit}) for field_name in self.search_fields] other_qs = QuerySet(self.model) (...) qs = qs & other_qs
So, if for example i'm looking for "Hey dud" query will be:
qs.filter(field__startswith="Hey") & qs.filter(field__startswith("dud"))

Code is same here on trunk and nfa, this should not block merge.

django-6933-0.diff patch gives ability to use search strings with spaces.
You can define such strings with '"' (like google):
'hey dud' interprets like qs.filter(fieldstartswith="Hey") & qs.filter(fieldstartswith("dud"))
and '"hey dud"' interprets like qs.filter(fieldstartswith="hey dud")
The algorithm is very basic and don't check a string for paired quotes. So '"hey dud' works like '"hey dud"'.

Please take a look at django.utils.text.smart_split for the splitting tool. And document this feature.

thanks diafour. I just think that the doc patch should reffer to docs/admin.txt, but that's probably just a minor glitch

#15203 was closed as a dupe. It reports the same problem but when the field name starts with =. It has a much more current patch too.

#17039 reported this again. Also given the current behavior is documented (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.search_fields) I'd call this ticket a new feature, not a bug. Also, I don't see that the doc mentioning the inability to search exactly on phrases with spaces is changed by the newest patch here so I think there is some doc change needed in addition to what is added by the patch.

I have been a power walker for over 20 years, but am fairly new to running. Just started in January. I ran my first 5K in April and that is the longest distance I have been RUNNING consistently. I can go much farther distances, but I have to insert walks. My goal for this 10K is to finish w/o walking. My time is not important (or at least I'm telling myself that). I got a late start training b/c the race had been full and a few spots opened up two weeks ago. The event is Sept 17. Because of my work schedule (12+ hour days), my short runs have to be on the TM during the week and my long runs are road runs on Sat & Sun. Until today, my short & long runs have been about equal in distance (with respect to the running portion). I usually go a minimum of 10 miles on Sat but it includes walking. Today was a milestone for me and looked like this: RUN 5.36 miles in 53:18, then RUN 4.79 miles in 55:01 (including a 3 minute walk to start it off), stopped for bathroom break & hydration then WALK 2.88 miles in 41.51 (this was very slow...my walking pace is usually b/w 12:25 and 13:30, but I was battling bilat. calf cramps). Any advice on the best way to procede from this point out? Also, I have difficulty regulating my breathing when running. This is not an issue with my walks even at the 12:25 pace.
