I would do it again, but the only problem is the cost. NYU is a private institute and while it is a fantastic school, it is a brand name school (you pay for the networking and name on your resume).
I'm in a public relations program. I enjoy it because my professors are all working professionals that teach in their spare time--this means great recommendations and networking relationships. Most professors are happy to assist students in finding internships/jobs that fit their fields. Workload is normal--lots of a reading.
I have to have two letters of recommendations, a solid GPA, a GRE score, writing samples, and letter of interest. I heard back pretty quickly--two weeks, I think. Because I'm in a graduate program, work experience was very important. A solid GPA is always helpful. Tips: Apply early.
Most internships aren't paid and require course credit. There are some that are paid, but they are rare and very competitive--mostly with big organizations like NBC. Time commitments vary by season: spring is around 20+ hours and most summer internships are full time.
Health & Safety:
Some parents don't feel like their child will be safe in the city, but we have a bunch of security and I feel very safe because of it. We also have a health center available for students who do not feel well.
Party Scene:
It's located in the city that never sleeps. There's always something to do even on weeknights if you don't have class the next day.
C means average and that's pretty much how the weather is. November to March is pretty cold, but we get a good chunk off for Winter break so it's bearable. Only at the very beginning and very end of school is it a little warm. Many students are from warmer areas, and they've adjusted fine. Just wear a lot of layers!
There are many of international students as well as American students with varying ethnicities. With that being said, there are few African Americans.
Greek Life:
I know people that pledged this semester and they love it, but Greek life isn't as big at NYU as it is at schools that I know that have actual campuses.
Drug Safety:
Like at any college there are drugs and alcohol present amongst the students, but it's really up to you how much you would like to partake.
Off-Campus Dining:
In New York City the number of off campus dining options are infinite. The types of food and the cost varies. New York City has everything there is to offer. There are several places around the NYU area that offer discounts for students and even allow students to pay with their NYU Campus Cash.
Health & Safety:
I think that the measures taken by NYU to keep students safe and healthy at NYU are outstanding. The NYU ID card is basically your ticket around campus: it allows you entry to all NYU buildings, and unless you do not live in campus housing, an NYU ID lets you in to all of the dorms. The NYU safety officiers are very nice, but they do have a job, so do not expect to get away with leaving your ID at home. New York in general has a lot of police because of the size of the city, so as a student I have always felt very safe walking around, or in my own dorm building. There is a really great shuttle service that NYU offers as well. Say you are walking around, it's late, and you are getting a bit lost. Well, just call NYU's safety shuttle service, and an officer will come get you in a van and take you back to your dorm. NYU really does a wonderful job at ensuring students' safety.
Campus Food:
NYU offers a really wonderful array of dining options. There are always vegetarian and vegan options. One dining hall even has a special seating section strictly for Kosher students. I also think that most of the food served is healthy and students can make good choices about what to eat. The dining halls also open early and close late, so there is a lot of choice given to students about when to eat too. I will say that depending on what or how much you eat, the value that NYU gives their meals is a bit pricey. I would suggest a flex meal plan if you are unsure about how much you will be eating at the dining hall, and are looking to save money.
Coming from the west coast, and a state that gets a lot of rain, I would say that when it rains in NYC, it really rains. However NYC is very seasonal, so there is a lot of wonderful sunshine, some snow, and some overcast days. But I really love the weather here because of how often it is sunny. Even in the winter, walking around campus is great with the chill of the air reminding you that winter is still the chilly season we all know and love, while the sun offers a nice, and cheery contrast.
Guys & Girls:
NYU students are just as diverse as the city itself. There are students from all around the globe, so as one might imagine there is a lot to explore in terms of social connections. However, everyone is very friendly, and because the school is fairly large, everyone is looking for more and more friends to share a great time with. The stylish flair of the city certainly attracts some, but the excitement and thrill of New York City is reflected in both the guys and girls here.
There is a lot of liberal bias. If you are a are conservative at all in any way, then you should plan on keeping it a secret or your grade will probably suffer. With that said, the academics are great depending on the teacher. Most teachers genuinely want you to learn and do well at NYU. I mean, it is NYU, isn't it? I would be concerned if the academics weren't great.
Party Scene:
You have to have a fake id. If you do not have a fake id then say hello netflix and every night will be a night in for you. Once your get burnt out from the clubs after freshman year, then you will find tons of awesome bars and more of your friends will have apartments you can have kickbacks at.
Guys & Girls:
It is mostly jewish guys/girls and asian guys/girls. if you are in to that then that's great! but if you aren't looking for that then you may want to look off campus for someone to date. Because of the exceptionally large number of girls, guys figure out really quick that they can hook up with pretty much whoever they want due to how desperate girls become due to the lack of guys, so most guys are only down to hook up.
Off-Campus Dining:
It's New York City. So many restaurants around school. You can get any type of food that you want and it will not break your budget. However, if you do want to go somewhere nice there are so many places that are a quick train ride away.
Computers are available ALL over campus and are very new mac computers.
New York City experiences all types of weather. Summers get very hot and humid, falls are chilly, winters are bitter cold, and springs are temperate. You need a good rain jacket since walking is the main method of transportation.
I received no financial aid but I did receive loans. The office was reluctant to give us any consideration and were not easy to deal with.
Most students walk/take the subway. Do not bring a car as parking is and always will be a hassle. First-year students will rarely be outside walking distance of classes, which are spaced at fifteen minute intervals anyway. NYU has its own shuttle service and also offers pickup/transport to students after hours.
Drug Safety:
Peer pressure exists especially when dorming, where "rules" on no drugs/drinking are set up but nine times out of nine are absolutely not enforced. If you say no, rest assured you'll be the minority, but these people do exist and generally suffer little more than bemusement (sometimes even grudging respect) from the majority. Adderall and marijuana usage spikes during finals/midterms.
Common consensus on campus is that we are the school with the most diversity in the states, whether judging by ethnicity, sexual orientation, major (stern vs. tisch vs. poly...) or economic background. It goes without saying, however, that we are a pretty much liberal-inclined school.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
NYU offers students a taste of the hustle and bustle they will most likely encounter in the real world once they graduate. It is an overpopulated institution, so you have to be ready to fight to gain certain academic opportunities, but cultivating such a habit may serve as indirect training for new graduates when they have to go about securing jobs in their respective fields. Life at NYU demands a certain kind of disposition; thus, it is not for everyone. For students who love NYC and the challenge and experience it offers, it is an exciting and ever-changing community. For those who desire a community-rich college experience, NYU is lacking in that area. However, you can make an amazing experience out of what the school does offer. Whatever your choice, get ready for a mix of demanding academics and wild experiences in the city. Finding a balance between the two is key at this big-city school.
Many students claim that the best part about attending NYU is living in New York City, while other students complain about the school's large tuition. Most often, students are dissatisfied with the lack of a campus or school spirit, and many students believe that the institution is run too much like a business, with the school using millions of dollars to make NYU a global institution instead of supporting its current students. Otherwise, most students appreciate the various benefits of living in the city, such as diverse and exciting nightlife options, a broad range of cuisines, and prestigious and diverse internship opportunities.

AbstractThe innovation proposed in this SBIR program is to develop a threat warning system against airborne laser radars in the blue-green transmission window. The proposed sensor system characterizes a sample through wavlelength, temporal, and spatial (theta fi) characteristics of the backscattered and source emission signals, enabling the air-borne laser radar to be identitied and tracked. The sensors to be demonstrated in this program are based on volume holographic Bragg-gratings in photorefractive crystals. The rotationally-tuned Bragg-grating has the potential of high throughput, high background rejection, and very high chromatic resolving power, making it a promising candidate for detecting the existence of a laser radar transmitter. It is expected that the volume holographic gratings should offer two orders of magnitude increase in the detection efficiency over conventional spectroscopic instruments of similar size. The innovations are directed toward improving the sensitivity, and reducing the system's mass, volume, alignment difficulties, and cost over existing solutions.

Software glitch bugs Nokia Lumia 900 users
US launch of new Windows smartphone rocked by data connection issues.
The US launch of Nokia's Lumia 900 smartphone has been hit by a software glitch that stops users from accessing the internet.
The company used its Nokia Conversations blog to confirm the issue, which has prevented some Lumia 900 users from establishing a data connection.
The device went on sale in the US three days ago.
This issue is purely in the phone software, and is not related to either phone hardware or the network itself.
"In short, a memory management issue was discovered that could, in some cases, lead to loss of data connectivity," said Nokia US president Chris Weber. "This issue is purely in the phone software, and is not related to either phone hardware or the network itself.
"As a proactive and prudent measure, we decided to take immediate action. We have identified the issue, and have developed a solution," he continued.
An update to the phone is scheduled for next Monday, ahead of the Lumia 900's UK launch on 27 April. It is expected the bug will not affect devices sold in this country.
Affected customers have been offered a $100 credit on their AT&T bill. Nokia is also giving users the option of exchanging their devices for a new Lumia 900.
Nokia failed to give any details about the scope of the problem or the number of users affected.
The Finnish phone company launched the Lumia 800 in Europe last November. The Lumia 900 sports a bigger display and 4G connectivity.
The company hopes the new phones will position them as a viable alternative to Apple's iPhone and Google's Android handsets.

Now You See Me 2 confirmed for September shoot
The sequel to Now You See Me is definitely happening, and will shoot later this year.
Get ready to add another movie to the 2015 release roster, as Lionsgate is pressing ahead on its planned sequel to last year's Now You See Me.
We quite enjoyed the first film, even though it didn't take much prodding at its shell of logic for it all to fall apart. Nonetheless, the bunch of magicians - played by Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco - are all expected to return, as is director Louis Letterier. That said, Eisenberg may have a scheduling problem, given his commitment to make Batman Vs Superman, whose shoot is likely to overlap.
More on Now You See Me 2 as we hear it.

A velocity-dependent friction model that accurately predicts the losses associated with a plasma armature railgun is presented. Test results from a 1-m-long, 1.27-cm square-bore, plasma-armature railgun have been used to determine the validity of the model. The divergence between the calculated and measured performance is typically less than 5% at railgun currents below 500 kA; however, at currents greater than 500 kA, the deviation increases. Experimental evidence suggests that the railgun's lack of stiffness and subsequent venting of driving pressure rather than the electromechanical model is primarily responsible for the divergence. To test this theory, a rail was built using external preloading rings (Ringfeder) to increase its stiffness. On the first test of the Ringfeder railgun, 625 kA was discharged into the gun and the projectile was accelerated to 5.9 km/s. Test data indicate that the projectile accelerated through the entire length of the railgun and that a minimum amount of plasma leakage occurred during the test

The Worst Time to Buy...
There are some very real reasons (beyond your horoscope) for when and when not to make certain purchases. Should you really be shopping for a new mattress in April? Or a grill in June?

Don't Restock Your Home Office...
...in March, April, November or December. If you need to stock up on paper or are considering buying a new printer, don't do it around the holidays or tax season, says Brent Shelton, a spokesman for Ebates.com and FatWallet.com. Instead, plan on replenishing your work space around the same time that kids are filling up their backpacks for the new school year; August and September tend to bring deals on anything office- or school-related.

Now imagine the following: Not the data is changed, but the template was changed.
At this moment there seems no way to update all posts to the new/edited template.

Welcome to Center for Counseling and Personal Growth
Welcome to the Clark University Center for Counseling and Personal Growth! Our main goal at the Center for Counseling and Personal Growth (CPG) is to promote the wellbeing of Clark students. Our counseling services are offered with recognition and appreciation of each student's individual and unique personality, and we are honored to play a part in helping students to strive emotionally and intellectually.
The services at CPG are provided free of charge. We assist students in dealing with a variety of issues, including but not limited to the following:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Stress management
- Adjustment to college
- Relationship issues
- Family issues
- Roommate conflict
- Time management / Procrastination
- Substance abuse
- Body image issues
- Sexual and gender identity issues
- Motivation
- Trauma
Scope of Services
Services are short-term, and students are able to utilize 6 therapy sessions per semester. For those students looking for a more long-term relationship with a counselor, we can assist in the facilitation of a referral to a mental health practitioner in the nearby community. We operate from a student-centered perspective, in which the student takes an active role in his or her treatment. Our therapeutic services are primarily strength-based and solution focused, with emphasis on behavior-based problem solving. Some students experience needs outside the scope of our services, for example: conditions requiring close coordination with psychiatrists or other providers; conditions with persistent symptoms of risk to personal safety; and conditions requiring access to therapists outside of normal business hours. These students are encouraged to consult with us for an assessment of their symptoms (diagnostic evaluation), and assistance with a referral to mental health providers in the community.
Clark University currently has a contract with a psychiatrist, Daniel Kirsch, MD, who is part of UMASS Memorial Department of Psychiatry. In order to see Dr. Kirsch, a student needs to be actively attending and utilizing counseling services at CPG on a regular basis. If a student chooses not to attend counseling at CPG, we can help them connect with other psychiatry services in the Worcester area.
Confidentiality and Safety
The entire staff at CPG takes students' privacy very seriously, and our personal and professional ethics guide us in ensuring that the services students receive here remain confidential. The service is confidential for students and information is not shared without permission, except in these following cases:
- When a counselor believes you present an imminent danger to yourself or others
- When a counselor believes the life and safety of a readily identifiable third person is endangered
- When a counselor believes that a child or vulnerable adult is being subjected to abuse, neglect, or exploitation
- When disclosure is made necessary by legal proceedings
Our Location
The Center for Counseling and Personal Growth is located at 501 Park Avenue, adjacent to Health Services. Our building is located a few blocks from campus. To view a map of where our center is located, select here.
Hours of Operation
Our counseling center is open Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm when school is in session. It is open on a limited basis during Fall, Winter and Spring breaks and is closed during the summer (May 15th to August 15th). Depending on the time of year, students are generally seen within a week of their request for an initial appointment. During peak times of use, such as November and April, students may have to wait a little longer to get in.
How To Make an Appointment
First-time appointments at the Clark University Center for Counseling and Personal Growth by calling (508)793-7678 and leaving a detailed, confidential message in Mailbox 1, or by emailing email@example.com.
To facilitate the scheduling process, when requesting an appointment, please give the following information: Your name, class year, email address, phone number, and please indicate all of the days and times that you are available to come in for an appointment. A staff member from CPG will reach out to you within 24 hours of your request to initiate the scheduling process.
NOTE: We do not allow parents or staff to schedule appointments for a student. In addition, we do not reach out to students by request to begin the scheduling process. All appointments must be made by the person seeking counseling.
Urgent Counseling Services
If you are in a crisis or have an urgent need to be seen, our Counselor on Duty can meet with you on Monday through Friday between the hours of 2pm and 4pm. Urgent appointments are available for students who are unable to wait for a regular appointment due to feeling overwhelmed by acute personal problems. Some examples of reasons to see a Counselor on Duty for an urgent appointment include:
- If you are having thoughts or plans of hurting or killing yourself or someone else
- If you have a concern about someone else's suicidal thoughts or behaviors
- If you are engaging in self-destructive behaviors that feel out-of-control and/or put your health at significant risk
- If someone close to you has died recently
- If you have a difficult decision to make in the next 2-3 days
- If you have been recently sexually assaulted
- If you are losing touch with reality or having otherwise disturbing behaviors
This service is available to students on a first come/first serve basis. The amount of time available for each student depends on the level of need and the number of students who have requested an urgent appointment for that day. In order to be seen for an urgent appointment, students must schedule an appointment. To schedule an appointment, please call CPG's administrative assistant at (508)793-7678. After the appointment is scheduled, please go to the Center for Counseling and Personal Growth at 501 Park Avenue a few minutes prior to your scheduled appointment.

4.1 beta 2 potential layout regression
There may be a layout regression in 4.1 (unless its an intended change). You can see the difference running the example below in these screenshots. The regression appears in FF and Chrome.
You will see the example includes two panels in a window. The second panel has a height:0 and flex:1 The change appears to be that in 4.0.7 the flex definition wins while in 4.1 beta 2 height wins.
Ext.define('Lyquidity.TaskDialog',{ extend: 'Ext.window.Window', alias: 'widget.taskdialog', title: app, height: 200, width: 400, layout: { align: 'stretch', type: 'vbox' }, initComponent: function() { var me = this; Ext.apply(me, { items: [ { xtype: 'panel', border: 0, html: 'This is the main body of the message box', id: 'mainPanel', layout: { type: 'fit' }, bodyPadding: 10, flex: 1 }, { xtype: 'panel', border: 0, height: 0, html: 'This is some text', id: 'detailsPanel', layout: { type: 'fit' }, bodyPadding: 10, frameHeader: false, flex: 1 } ] }); me.callParent(arguments); } });

Certainly the behaviour is different now, but I think it's "more correct" than it was before. An explicit dimension should trump anything else.
Just curious, how did you end up with such a scenario?Evan Trimboli
Sencha Developer
Twitter - @evantrimboli
Don't be afraid of the source code!
9 Feb 2012 4:13 AM #3
I agree with you that the 4.1 way is better but I wonder how many support calls Sencha will receive because a layout appears to change inexplicably when using 4.1 as a developer had inadvertently set height:0 and it had no effect on the layout in earlier versions.
I came across the scenario trying to address the issue described in the post below which appears to be a problem in 4.0.7 and 4.1 (though with different behaviors).
Apologies for the length of this but I think there may be a real layout problem and I want to explain what I'm doing and why so you can explain to me why its not an issue.
I want to be able to have text in a window that is collapsible but which is opened/closed by a button in a footer (the panel insists on the collapse header being adjacent to the panel content which I don't want). When expanded, I want the size of the text to be its natural size (which will vary from case to case) so using a flex definition or explicit height is not appropriate. I also expect the collapsible text will hug the bottom edge of the window (because the other component uses a flex:1 definition and so will use all unused space).
My understanding is that I should be able to arrange this by using a vbox layout on the outer container (a window in my case) and setting flex:1 on the text/components that will always be displayed and by setting no height or flex on the panel/component I want to show selectively and be it's natural height. I could (and have) docked the collapsible text to the lower edge but it makes no difference to the layout problem I'm seeing.
Using the 'html' property
In the example on the end of the link above the text is assigned to the 'html' property of a panel. However there seem to be problems with the computed window size when the window is not given explicit dimensions. The window size computed by ExtJS 4.0.7 is always zero. Using 4.1 the window is the size of the component rendered is that of the logically last component, not all of the component which are displayed.
Note that in 4.0.7 somewhere the correct height IS computed correctly. When the window is resized manually it snaps to the correct size and the dotted resize border is the correct size.
Using the 'label' component makes no difference
In the example below the required text is presented in a label component rather than the html property of a panel. But it makes no difference. However because the label background is transparent it does make it a bit easier to see what's going on: components are piled on top of each other.
Bear in mind the window is set to use a vbox layout. If my understanding of this layout type is correct, I'd expect the second label will always appear beneath the first label (in the y direction not the z direction) not on top.
So the problem seems to be the handling of a component with no explicit flex or height when the container does not have an explicit height. Fix the height of the top component (My Label) and the window height used is correct (except that the top component now has a fixed height whereas what I want is for it to take all unused space and take at least enough for the ).
Ext.define('TaskDialog',{ extend: 'Ext.window.Window', alias: 'widget.taskdialog', title: app, minWidth: 400, width: 400, layout: { type: 'vbox' }, initComponent: function() { var me = this; Ext.apply(me, { items: [ { xtype: 'label', id: 'title', padding: '8 0 0 8', style: 'color:#49D;font-weight:bold;font-size:12pt;', text: 'My Label', flex: 1 }, { xtype: 'label', id: 'details', padding: '8', text: 'My Label', } ] }); me.callParent(arguments); } });

The MCC have expressed their displeasure at plans to ban bottles being taken into Lord's and other Test cricket grounds.
The proposal by the International Cricket Council (ICC) could mean an end to the tradition of MCC members and other spectators taking bottles into the stands and picnic areas at Lord's.
The ICC say the bottle ban is in the interest of player and ground safety but Charles Fry, president of MCC which owns Lord's, said he saw "no justification or need whatever" for it.
An MCC spokeswoman said: "We feel that ground safety should be a matter for the ground and licensing authorities.
"We take ground safety very seriously and constantly review procedures, but we see no need for a ban of this kind."

This was a very exciting game for the Lady Bulldogs. With the stadium packed with Greenwood fans, the excitement was contagious as the Lady Bulldogs advanced to Round 2 of the playoffs. The entire team celebrated Sydnie Henson's homerun over the left field fence.
Brooke Kiene and Victoria Taylor both showed quick reflexes as they reacted to this bunt during Greenwood's heartbreaking loss to Benton. Despite being tangled up, Kiene actually came up with the ball.
Greenwood fell behind early, but rallied for a 12-2 win Thursday against Siloam Springs in the first round of the 6A State Tournament at Russellville.
Last Thursday, the Lady Bulldogs fell behind early, but broke out with six runs in the second inning as Sydney Henson and Allie Barnes had back-to-back triples.
Barnes was 2 for 3 and Henson was 2 for 3 with a home run. Kameron Brewer was 3 for 3 and Jade Pate 2 for 3 with an RBI. Brooke Kiene went 2 for 3 with a single and a double with 2 RBI's.
With the win, Greenwood (17-11) faced Benton in the second round where they managed only three hits and gave up four unearned runs in a 4-0 loss.

Apeiron Biologics closed its first transaction in its ongoing initiative to out-license APN311, an antibody-based immunotherapy in development for the treatment of children with high-risk neuroblastoma. Paladin Labs entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Apeiron, under which Canada-based Paladin receives the rights to market and sell APN311 in Canada and Sub-Saharan Africa, including South Africa.
According to the company, APN311 is the most clinically advanced substance in its development pipeline which is focused on immunologic and biologic therapies against cancer. APN311 is a monoclonal chimeric antibody (ch14.18/CHO) targeting the GD2 antigen on neuroblastoma cells and is currently undergoing a randomized Phase III in Europe.
The deal also marks a milestone in Apeiron's development strategy to treat neuroblastoma, a strategy that also led it to acquire rights to further develop and commercialize the immunocytokine hu14.18-IL2 from Merck KGaA, Germany in February 2011.

Arts Rachel Corrie in NYC
posted by October 16 at 11:26 AMon
Here's the New York Times review of the play based on Rachel Corrie's letters and journals. Verdict? Rachel Corrie is interesting; Megan Dodds, who plays her as though
"orating from a platform, bullhorn in hand" "merely playing young, with all the attendant cuteness" is not.
I'm not sure who's playing Rachel in Seattle production. Hopefully she won't have such angular cheekbones.

Make 'Em Laugh film series
Monday, May 6, 2013
6:30pm @ Central Library
An out-of-work actor (Dustin Hoffman) disguises himself as a woman and lands a role on a popular soap opera. But when the character becomes a national celebrity, he's trapped by the role he has created for himself. Tootsie was nominated for 10 Oscars and won for Jessica Lange's supporting performance.
MPAA rating: R. 116 minutes
Part of the Make 'Em Laugh Film Series, showing Saturdays and Mondays in May in the Stanley H. Durwood Film Vault at the Central Library

To create her collages, Paula Sanz Caballero reduces her compositions down to their basics, before highlighting detail and texture with fabric and acrylics. Her work is heavily influenced by her love of textiles and fashion, and has been exhibited in Chicago, Barcelona and London.
Paula's use of fabric and hand/machine stitching adds an extra dimension to her pictures, providing rich texture. Rather than ending up looking chintzy, the mixture of pattern and colour is carefully matched to create a sophisticated style.

JohnGreenville, SCAge: 25-34Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Does the job quite wellNovember 21, 2014JohnGreenville, SCAge: 25-34Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4I run a website and also do a bit of evangelism/apologetics. One of my tasks is to dialogue and or send letters to the cults,and false churches in my area (Denver, CO) of which I have no small task. This book is perhaps the best for giving a overall synopsis of the major cults. While this book does not address Progressive Liberal "Christians" (Gay/Homosexual), the emerging church, the word of faith movement, and such I have other books that touch those groups. So for the task this book has set out to accomplish I absolutely love it and find it superior to my other books on the topic (So Whats the difference?, Josh McDowell book on the cults). The apologetic power points are especially helpful to defend Biblical Christianity. My major gripe of the book (despite all its praises) is a lack of a topical index in the back. Surely this would have been quite helpful. I recommend this book to not only the bible college student, but to those wanting some good information on the cults, but also those doing the same thing I am doing, and that is challenging the cults in their area and proclaiming Christ to them.

Local teams fare well at Capital One Shootout
Published: Saturday, March 17, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 17, 2007 at 2:06 a.m.
HOUMA -- The Vandebilt Catholic Terriers, Thibodaux Tigers and St. James Wildcats were among the winners on Fridays opening day of the Capitol One Baseball Shootout.
The tournament is being played at Vandebilt and Thibodaux highs.
At Vandebilt, the Terriers (12-4) scored early and often to down the Ponchatoula Green Wave, 7-0. Starting pitcher Jacob Allen (4-1) went the distance, allowing just two hits in seven complete innings for the victory. The right-hander struck out seven and walked one.
With a 12-4 record, the Terriers have aspirations for a Class 4A state championship, but coach Calvin Buxton said he isnt thinking ahead.
"Were close," said Buxton, whose Vandebilt teams have played in two state championship games. "As long as we keep working hard, weve got a shot."
The Green Wave (9-5) threatened near the end, putting runners on the corners with two out in the sixth inning before Ethan Murray popped up to Allen for the final out of the inning.
"Weve been playing well," Ponchatoula coach Mark Gosnell said. "We ran into a good team today and they played very well. They played outstanding."
Phillip Kraft started for the Green Wave and surrendered all seven Terriers runs.
In the nightcap at Vandebilt, St. James fell behind 3-1 before scoring three runs in the fifth inning to rally past South Lafourche, 4-3.
Charles Geason started on the hill for the Wildcats and helped himself with the game-tying RBI single to right to tie the score at 3.
With the bases loaded, a hit batsman put the Wildcats ahead for good.
Aaron Hymel closed things out in the seventh, stranding the would-be tying run in scoring position. The game ended on a diving catch in shallow center by a charging Terry Isom.
"It was a great comeback effort and a close game the whole way," St. James head coach Louis Guillot said. "We fought our way back and got the runs we needed."
For the Tarpons (4-8), it was a game of missed opportunities. After trailing 1-0 after two innings, South Lafourche picked up three runs in the third, in part due to a two-run single to right by third baseman Russ Cheramie. They threatened in subsequent innings, but were kept off the scoreboard.
"We had a few chances to put them away, but couldnt come up with the right hit at the right time," South Lafourche coach Bubba Orgeron said. "Weve been struggling at the plate most of the year, but have shown signs of life recently. Its still not where we want to be."
In Thibodaux, the Thibodaux Tigers (9-9) downed East St. John, 9-2.
Tigers starter Clint Dempster got his first win of the season, allowing both runs on six hits. He struck out 12 and walked two.
Trey Clement went 3-for-3 with three runs scored as part of the offense. Dempster helped his cause with a two-run double at the plate.
"Were playing a lot of young guys," Tigers coach Wayne Grenfell said. "Theyre getting better every time out."
The Capitol One Shootout continues today at Vandebilt and Thibodaux with day-night action at both parks.

Hi Tom,
First of all, thank you for this nice backup tool. I have been using it (v2.2.1) now for a week and it works all right for me -- except for the following:
I have setup a weekly full schedule and a daily database schedule. For the timing I put a line "define( 'HMBKP_SCHEDULE_TIME', '03:00' );" in wp-config.php.
The backups are produced, but never at the scheduled time. Here is a list from the Manage Backups page of the daily backups (DB size 16MB, backup size 2MB):
15 maart 2013 - 09:24
14 maart 2013 - 08:54
13 maart 2013 - 10:10
12 maart 2013 - 11:19
11 maart 2013 - 09:53
10 maart 2013 - 08:59
9 maart 2013 - 11:07
8 maart 2013 - 10:23 (the website is in Dutch; times are on 24h base, so all in the morning)
At first I thought the backup start might be triggered by the first (admininstrator) login after the backup scheduled time, but that does not seem to be the case.
Any idea?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Henk Barreveld

Government's Rejection of call to ban patenting of genes and biological materials welcomed
Genes and Gene Technology
Avoid simple misunderstandings when it comes to the patenting DNA and their defining nucleotide sequences.
As genes are naturally occurring molecules that encode the information for producing all living organisms, their patentability has raised concerns from an ethical viewpoint. Australian patent law recognises that isolated or purified DNA and their defining nucleotide sequences are patentable inventions, which is consistent with the approach taken in many other countries. However, these purified or isolated molecules are subject to the same fundamental requirements for patentability as inventions in other areas of technology, in the sense that they must be new, non-obvious and industrially applicable. There has been excitable debate about "Gene Patenting" over the last few years – to the point where editorial and media comment has even claimed that scientists have patents covering individuals' DNA. This is one of the many myths surrounding this topic and we urge consultation with the Institute when formulating media articles to avoid simple (but sometimes well-entrenched) misunderstandings.
Methods of Medical Treatment
Patent claims to methods of medical treatment are permitted under Australian law.
The Australian Patents Act does not exclude patenting methods of medical treatment unlike, for example, European and New Zealand Patent law. The patentability of methods of medical treatment was recently considered by the High Court in Apotex Pty Ltd v Sanofi-Aventis Australia Pty Ltd [2013] HCA 50 (4 December 2013). This High Court decision confirmed the patentability of methods of medical treatment of humans, in particular methods involving the administration of therapeutic drugs. The decision also provided guidance regarding contributory infringement of method of treatment claims by the supply of pharmaceutical compounds. The findings of the High Court suggest that contributory infringement may be avoided by registering pharmaceutical products for indications that are distinct to those defined in a method of treatment claim.
What is evergreening? Is it allowed under the patent system?
Evergreening is a term that describes the patenting of improvements of a previously patented pharmaceutical compound. These improvements typically involve new uses of the compound, methods for its production, crystalline forms, drug combinations, dosage regimes or re-formulations. Importantly, "evergreening" does not involve extending patent protection for a previously patented pharmaceutical compound.
Innovator pharmaceutical companies correctly point out that generic manufacturers are free to use any methods, formulations and dosage regimes disclosed in an original patent once it expires. They also emphasise that any additional" improvement patents" must meet the fundamental requirements for patentability, particularly with regard to novelty and non-obviousness, and therefore, provided these criteria are satisfied, the protection afforded to the additional inventions is warranted.
Living Organisms
Did you hear the one about the company which patented an animal? Perhaps it wasn't a joke after all.
Australian patent law has developed in line with some other jurisdictions, such that isolated forms of living organisms, including microorganisms, plants, fungi, animals and genetically modified organisms are patentable in Australia, subject to the usual criteria for novelty and non-obviousness. However, the Patents Act specifically prohibits the patenting of human beings and methods for their generation. Inventions that are contrary to law are also not patentable and on that basis, any invention that is contrary to legislation governing cloning, for example, would also not be entitled to patent protection.
Recent clarification by IP Australia and the courts as to the types of inventions that fall within the patentable and non-patentable categories has been helpful to practitioners but many grey areas still remain in this technologically, legally and ethically complex area.
Computer Software
Broadly speaking, computer software is patentable in Australia. The underlying principle is that an invention is patentable provided it results in an "artificially created state of affairs" having economic significance and it has been held that software is capable of meeting this requirement.
Software inventions are typically defined in terms of a method that can be performed by a software application, a physical system that provides the functionality of the software in question, or a medium that carries the software. There are, of course, some limitations. For example, Australian Patent Examiners tend to raise objections where an invention is thought to involve, for example, nothing more than a procedure for solving a particular type of mathematical problem.
The Australian position on patenting of software and computer implemented technology is somewhat similar to that in the United States, but is at odds with the position adopted in Europe and a number of other countries, which expressly preclude the patentability of software.
There have been two recent decisions: a Full Federal Court decision in Research Affiliates LLC v Commissioner of Patents [2014] FCAFC 150, a single Judge decision in RPL Central Pty Ltd v Commissioner of Patents [2013] FCA 871 (which has been appealed).
In broad terms, the Courts have identified a distinction between: (i) "computer-specific" technology (for example where an invention relates to the way in which computers are used); and (ii) cases where an invention is in substance an abstract scheme/concept which could be performed without a need for computer technology (even if that would be terribly inefficient). The former should be patentable, whereas the latter is unlikely to be patentable. Assessment is based on the substance of the invention, as opposed to the claim language itself.
When can your method of doing business be patentable?
The Australian Patents Act sets out the basic criteria that an invention must satisfy in order to be patentable. Provided a "business method" satisfies these criteria, there is no specific bar to its patentability . However, given the recent Court decisions mentioned above, patentability of business methods is limited to situations where there is an invention involving substantive use of computer technology (as opposed to an invention for which a particular implementation uses computer technology for convenience or efficiency).
Focus on the substance of an invention tends to mean that inventions relating to "business" fields (such as investment, insurance, marketing and reward programs) are heavily scrutinised, and it is crucial for a patent specification to clearly enunciate an invention in the computer technology space in addition to any novel business-level concepts.

It may be summer, but safety does not take a vacation.
"It's already time to think about sports physicals for the fall," said Theresa Christner, health education and health promotion director at Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph Community Health Agency (CHA). "And while you're thinking about your child's sport physical, take a moment to review their immunization records."
Any sport activity can put a child at a higher risk for contracting or spreading diseases.
Taking the proper prevention methods beforehand can help.
"(CHA) helps control the spread of disease throughout the immunization program," said Prevention Services Director JoAnn Wilczynski. "In 2011, we administered 10,866 vaccinations to area children. This year, we hope to provide more."
Shots are delivered by licensed registered nurses who are up-to-date on immunization training, and are free to children on MI Child or Healthy Kids programs.
The agency is well-supplied with vaccines, and aims to treat children who might not get them anywhere else.
If you lack insurance coverage for vaccinations, your child may be eligible to receive them free of charge through the health department's Vaccines for Children Program.
Appointments for vaccinations can be scheduled on
Monday Branch County Office, 570 N. Marshall Road, Coldwater
Tuesday St. Joseph County Office, 1110 Hill St., Three Rivers
Wednesday Hillsdale County Office, 20 Care Dr., Hillsdale
Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are welcome.

The California Community Colleges Board of Governors voted unanimously this week to appoint Eloy Ortiz Oakley as the system's next chancellor. This decision marks the first time a Latino has been at the helm of the 113-college system, where Hispanic students make up 42 percent of the student population and represented nearly half of all new students last fall.
Inside Higher Ed Editor Scott Jaschik started his annual listing of higher education stories ripe for coverage this upcoming year by asking journalists to do better when choosing which news developments to cover.
In May, just before Jaschik's presentation at the Education Writers Association's conference in Boston, President Obama's daughter Malia had recently committed to attending Harvard University and taking a "gap year."
Education is a perennial issue in political campaigns, and the 2016 election cycle is proving no exception. In the crowded field of White House candidates, education may not be the dominant issue, but it's gained a solid foothold. And it's sure to be a significant factor in other 2016 contests, including those for governor, with a dozen seats up for grabs.
Most education reporters at one time or another cover test results on NAEP, known as "the nation's report card." But if that's all you do, you're missing out on a powerful tool that can complement your daily reporting.
Given the key role that strong leadership plays in providing effective schools, experts, superintendents and universities say principal training deserves a "needs improvement" on its report card.
The nation's numerous principal-preparation programs are hit or miss, according to Vincent Cho, assistant professor of educational leadership at Boston College.
"There are thousands and thousands of leadership programs operating right now," and they aren't all equal, Cho said.
Past is prologue.
That's what Republicans promise in the higher education platform they'll finalize at their national convention in Cleveland: an approach that follows the direction they've already taken in Congress.
Fewer regulations for colleges and universities. Less red tape for students.
Less money.
"Obviously what we do legislatively is a statement of our philosophy and our principles," said Virginia Foxx, Republican chair of the House subcommittee that oversees higher education and co-chair of the GOP platform committee.
Now that the White House race has narrowed to Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, how is education playing out as an issue in the campaign? Will it prove an important fault line between the Democratic and Republican candidates? Will Trump offer any details to contrast with Clinton's extensive set of proposals from early childhood to higher education? What are the potential implications for schools and colleges depending on who wins the White House? Also, what other races this fall should be on the radar of journalists, whether elections for Congress, state legislatures, or governor?
In early May at Match Public Charter School in Boston, 18 freshmen are preparing to discuss themes from "Lord of the Flies." Their English teacher is Ashley Davis, a 26-year-old native of Cincinnati who's in her second year of teaching, but acts like a veteran.
Davis will soon have her students explaining the biblical allusions in the 1954 novel and debating whether mankind is naturally good or evil.
Annie Waldman of ProPublica digs deep into New Jersey's college financial aid program, which critics have called "state-sanctioned loan sharking". In a particularly egregious case in which the state demanded a mother continue to pay off her son's college loan even after he was murdered.
Waldman talks with EWA public editor Emily Richmond about why New Jersey wields more power than other state-based financial aid programs, how difficult it would be to make the policies and practices more forgiving, and ideas for local reporters writing about college affordability and student debt.
The fourth grade students sit on a carpet, wriggling, shaking their hands, looking in all directions as a teacher uses the most basic of tools — a red sharpie and a big white pad — to deliver her lesson.
The day's agenda: teaching the Common Core standard of finding "whole number quotients." She writes an equation on the board, and the answer works out to be 100. But she's not done.
The complexity around covering issues of segregation was in high gear in June when investigative writer Nikole Hannah-Jones documented in the New York Times magazine her family's tough decision on where to enroll daughter Najya.
The article came a month after she discussed the deliberate and structural segregation she sees in communities around the country during the Education Writers Association's National Seminar. Hannah-Jones urged journalists to hold accountable public officials and communities that allow this to happen.
Recognition of the importance of summer to the traditional school year is growing nationally, as more districts realize just how detrimental months away from school can be to students – especially those who are already struggling academically.
But how best to use the summertime to foster student learning and development remains undetermined, although more research has emerged on what works best.
Reporters face increasingly complex ethical and legal questions when it comes to interviewing and reporting on children in the digital age.
A sensitive story that once would have rolled off the presses and been recycled the next day, or lived on the air for less than a minute, now remains online with no expiration in sight.
I spent an academic year as an embedded reporter inside a Memphis high school that enrolled hundreds of children of Mexican immigrants. Many of the young people I met that year had lived most of their lives in the United States, and in some cases were born here. Most spoke fluent English.
As I followed these English-speaking students around the school, I paid much less attention to another group of young people: kids who had recently arrived from other countries and spoke little English.
There's another small country getting attention for its strong student performance on international assessments, and for the equity of its instructional programs.
Sarah Butrymowicz of The Hechinger Report joins EWA public editor Emily Richmond to discuss how more eyes are looking beyond Finland to nearby Estonia, a relatively young country with an already impressive academic track record. What lessons might there be for U.S. schools when it comes to teacher workforce, and putting more educational choices in the hands of the students themselves? And what challenges are Estonian schools facing as more students opt for the college-prep high school track over vocational or career training?
Most education journalists probably remember last year's viral video depicting members of the University of Oklahoma's Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity singing a racist chant.
"I thought it was a really isolated, terrible incident," recalled Kimberly Hefling, then an education reporter for The Associated Press. But her colleague, Jesse Holland, didn't see it as a major news event at all.
With teacher shortages growing in many states and one in ten teachers quitting by the end of their first year, it's more important than ever to help rookies get a good start to the year – something many districts try to address during New Teacher Orientation. Yet NTOs often leave out the main subject on teachers' minds: The first day of school.
OBERLIN, OHIO, July 21, 2016 – The preference for digital course materials by college students is gradually increasing according to the National Association of College Stores' (NACS) twice-yearly survey of college students in the U.S. and Canada.

I really haven't looked into this much, I'm assuming there's an api for it.
thoughts, insights appreciated.
There is no tips API. There is, however, a Kreds (microtransactions) API.
Is it worth it to implement it, the one you speak of? (in your personal experience)
Originally posted by UnknownGuardian:There is no tips API. There is, however, a Kreds (microtransactions) API.
I suppose money earned is money earned. Your opinion though on if it's worth it? also is there a quick kong version of this API? :P
I've never implemented the Kreds API. I am currently working on a title that uses microtransactions. If your game is successful and mtx (short name for microtransactions) does well, then it certainly will be worth it. ;)
QuickKong is geared to be neutral to all APIs. It is just as easy to use one as another. If you enable microtransactions for your game, you can access any part of that API through QuickKong.mtx.foobar(); where foobar() is an api call, after connecting to the API early in your game.
