Sandy slowed to a tropical storm overnight, but an Air Force aircraft found hurricane-force winds again Saturday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
Hurricane Sandy is a Category I hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph, according to NWS. The difference between Sandy and a tropical storm at this point is 2 mph, with 74 mph being the lowest speed that registers as Category I.
In the face of Hurricane Sandy's northward movement, NWS has issued a flood watch for Prince George's and Montgomery counties, much of Maryland and the DC metro area starting late Sunday through Tuesday morning.
Projections for Sandy show it making landfall late Monday between the Delmarva Peninsula and northern New Jersey, NWS says. The Delmarva Peninsula is a large peninsula on the East Coast; it's occupied by all of Delaware and portions of Maryland and Virginia.
Sandy is expected to produce rainfall levels between 3 and 5 inches in the I-95 metropolitan corridor, with higher amounts possible, according to NWS.
Streams and creeks could rise out of their banks quickly and flood low lying and urban areas due to excessive rainfall.
A flood watch means the potential for flooding exists. People living in areas that are prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding occur.

By Jeff Carlisle
Jurgen Klinsmann is a man with a plan, but for anyone who thinks results will happen overnight, the U.S. head coach has a message -- the revolution will be televised, but it won't be rushed.
MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. -- There's a story Jurgen Klinsmann likes to tell about his time playing for Monaco under the tutelage of one Arsene Wenger. In the mid-1990s, Wenger had in his squad a talented young attacker by the name of Youri Djorkaeff. Despite the player's ability, Wenger wasn't averse to leaving Djorkaeff on the bench at times. Klinsmann couldn't understand it.
"I had arguments with Arsene," recalled Klinsmann during a roundtable with reporters. "'Why don't you play Djorkaeff? Why do you put him on the bench? He is such a great talent. Our team is not AC Milan.' [Wenger] says, 'Jurgen, because he doesn't get it yet, to be a real focused professional.'
"We didn't win the championship then," Klinsmann added, "but two years later Djorkaeff was a [French] national team player, and a couple of years after that he was a World Cup winner. He actually sacrificed one of our best players to teach him those lessons."
It's a tale that reflects Klinsmann's approach to his latest job as manager of the U.S. national team. This is not to say that the American squad is overstocked with a bunch of brooding youngsters. Far from it. But Klinsmann plans to reshape the national team from the ground up, bringing younger players along when they are ready. This revolution will not be rushed.
Never mind the tactical and stylistic overhaul that is expected to take place under Klinsmann's watch. The former German national team manager is spending much of his time in fact-finding mode. Ahead of friendlies against Costa Rica on Friday and Belgium four days later, the players assembled will undergo a variety of physical tests, from blood and fitness work to stability, flexibility and functional testing. It's a process that started when he convened the team for the first time before the Aug. 10 friendly against Mexico, and it's expected to last for the first two to three months of his tenure. He'll also be looking to find the right personalities to carry out whatever system he ultimately chooses.
I want to study as many [players] as I can study because the mindset plays a huge role as you get to a World Cup. I need to figure out early what players are really up to that task.
" -- Jurgen Klinsmann
"We want to get as much information as possible," Klinsmann said. "And I want to study as many characters as I can study because the mindset plays a huge role as you get to a World Cup. So I need to figure out early what players are really up to that task, can live with the daily grind and have the right working attitude. Are they open-minded to improving themselves?
"No matter what level they are at right now," Klinsmann added, "if they are in Europe or not, I don't really care. I take them from where they are right now, and I will see if they are ready to go to the next [level]. That is really the stuff that goes on for the first couple of months. It's not that I can say, 'Ideally I would love to play this way, and it has to work out that way already.' You have to kind of slowly work toward that, because we have to see so many different aspects of it."
One area where Klinsmann has moved quickly is in naming Martin Vasquez as his No. 1 assistant coach. The U.S. manager had previously indicated that he would audition guest assistants whenever the team got together as a means of filling out the spots on his staff. But given that the two worked together when Klinsmann was manager of Bayern Munich, Vasquez's arrival is hardly a surprise.
Granted, that experience did not end positively, with Klinsmann and Vasquez both being fired late in the 2008-09 Bundesliga season, though Bayern was only three points out of first place. Vasquez's disastrous stint as manager of Chivas USA last year, when the Goats finished with the second-worst record in MLS, will raise concerns that Klinsmann isn't adding the kind of tactical knowledge that Joachim Low provided to Klinsmann when the latter managed Germany.
Yet Vasquez does have some shinier entries in his résumé. He was widely lauded for his work as an assistant with Chivas USA under both Bob Bradley and Preki. Vasquez's high-level contacts in Mexican soccer could prove critical as well, given the increasing number of Mexican-Americans playing south of the border.
"He has a tremendous knowledge about coaching teams on the field, the work on the field," Klinsmann said. "I had him at my side with Bayern Munich and he did a tremendous, good job. Obviously for the Germans, it was something very unusual. They didn't like it. They didn't like the American fitness coaches I brought in, sports psychologists I brought in with the national team program, so [the media] didn't like having a Mexican-American assistant coach at Bayern Munich. The people itself had no issues with that. He did a great job and everyone afterward was very thankful to him of the work he did. The media saw it a little bit different. But he is a 24/7 worker, and all he wants is to help players, in all aspects of it."

But what might be even more important than Vasquez's hiring is filling the vacancies for the Olympic and U-20 national team head-coaching jobs. Klinsmann indicated that neither he nor Vasquez will take on these roles. They are highly important, full-time jobs, and Klinsmann will be focused on World Cup qualifying, which will have started when the Olympics take place in July.
The U.S. manager expects anywhere from five to seven players from the Olympic team to garner roster spots at the 2014 World Cup, assuming the U.S. qualifies. Among those being targeted are up-and-coming talents like Josh Gatt as well as Mixx Diskerud, Freddy Adu and Juan Agudelo, all of whom have seen time at the senior level. But Klinsmann indicated that he preferred these players develop with the Olympic team, rather than being rushed into the full national side, which explains in part why Gatt and Diskerud were not called in for this latest round of friendlies.
Klinsmann would like to see young players such as Juan Agudelo develop with the Olympic team.
"I don't want to do the second [step] before the first step," Klinsmann said. "The first step is now finding the right people for those [coaching] roles, and then working hand-in-hand with those guys. If I bring in now [players] just because it is reported to me that they are very talented kids, but maybe I don't have the whole picture yet, I don't do them a favor. Because then you shoot them from where they are right now into high media attention and to something that they can't fulfill. If you call in a 17-, 18-, 19-year-old, if he has the talent, then we need to make sure that they are OK with that, and can control that process from that moment on. That's where those coaches are crucial."
Klinsmann is hoping to more closely emulate the progression of players in Europe, where players are brought along more slowly, and it's no big deal if a player hasn't broken into the first team by the time he is in his early 20s.
"When we have an 18-, 19-year-old here in MLS who is an exceptional talent, then we expect from him to already be a senior national team player and to score goals like Agudelo," Klinsmann said. "This is wrong. Yes, we identify a Brek Shea and an Agudelo and youngsters like that, but at the same time, we have to be realistic and say, 'You know what? At his age, this is what we can expect from that kid.' And we're not expecting Juan Agudelo to come into the national team and score every time he plays or perform at the highest international level because we only want to see him step-by-step develop."
Such considerations will not dampen the calls for the U.S. to decide on a particular style, and quickly. Klinsmann insisted that his physical evaluations of the players will go a long way toward determining the direction the team takes. After all, it's no use implementing a more attack-minded direction if the team doesn't have the physical wherewithal to execute that plan, especially against elite teams. Klinsmann indicated that the goal is to have questions of style figured out by the time World Cup qualifying rolls around in June.
"We can't go 200 miles per hour at Spain or Brazil, otherwise we will be down by six goals at halftime," he said. "But if we play [teams] at the same level, or potentially lower, then we can have the confidence and dictate the game from the first moment on, and keep the pace throughout the game. Which may be not possible right now, but will hopefully be by next summer to say we can really go at a high pace and high intensity and dictating hopefully for 90 minutes."
To that end, Klinsmann is also attacking problems further upstream in terms of player development. Of particular concern is the MLS calendar, which runs for roughly eight months. "We need to attack that topic," said Klinsmann about the league calendar. "If they lose two or three months in the offseason, on this level, we can't afford that. It's as simple as that. We can't have a national team player take two months off; it's impossible. [Otherwise], we will never reach the global stage."
Perhaps there are some aspects of Klinsmann's revolution that need to be rushed after all.

With the firewall insulation panel from R.E.M. Automotive installed, the first step is to find the place where the engine wire loom can pass through the firewall, keeping in mind factors such as visual placement, length of loom, whether or not the loom hidden is kept hidden, and so on. Craig Hopkins found that this spot works great with all the factors mentioned above.

The VIR brouhaha has consumed many Ouray County residents, with crowds of up to 200 people packing into various public hearings over the past three years to make their voices heard.
The current hearing, initiated over three evenings at the 4-H Event Center in August, exposed a profound rift between those who want the county to adopt proposed revisions protecting property values and scenic view corridors and those who argue that the current regulations are fine, and that the revisions developed over the past two-and-a-half years by the Ouray County Planning Commission are rife with unintended consequences and threaten private property rights.
Both sides accused the other of elitism, fear tactics and misrepresenting and distorting the facts.
The public comment portion of the hearing concluded in August. Now, the Ouray County
Commissioners await Wednesday, Nov. 6, when they reconvene at 6 p.m. at the Ouray County 4-H Center to deliberate and possibly decide whether or not to adopt the proposed revisions.
Clerk of the Board Linda Munson Haley has spent countless hours over the past two months preparing the 1,000-page record of August's testimony, which the commissioners will consider when they deliberate next week. The record is currently posted on the Ouray County website, ouraycountyco.gov, and available in a public binder at the Ouray County Courthouse.
The Section 9 revision was mandated in November 2010, when the BOCC issued a resolution directing the county planning commission to review and consider proposed revisions to Section 9 of the county's Land Use Code that deal specifically with visual impact regulations.
That resolution called on the planning commission to analyze 12 items set forth by the BOCC, from evaluating the current point system for developers, to revisiting setbacks and remodels and the treatment of historically accurate buildings, to designating more county roads as visual impact corridors.
The county planning commission chipped away at this task for two-and-a-half years, finally releasing a draft document spelling out proposed amendments to Section 9 in early 2013.
Perhaps the most divisive proposed change to Section 9 was the expansion of visual impact corridors to include 47 more roads throughout the county that have the same characteristics as the nine roads originally designated as view corridors in the existing regulations. All structures visible within 1.5 miles, measured on a two-dimensional map, are subject to the impact and mitigation criteria of Section 9.
Other issues of concern, aired throughout the course of August's testimony, centered around the difference between nonconforming use and nonconforming structure; disclosure requirements for realtors if a structure or use is nonconforming; how to address homes that are in multiple view corridors, should the revisions be adopted; whether a nonconforming home destroyed by fire or other catastrophic event could be rebuilt in its original form, and how this may affect the ability to acquire homeowners' insurance; and current conflicts between Section 9 and Section 4 of the Land Use Code.
These are just a few of the issues with which commissioners must grapple, as they reconvene for deliberation next week.
Reached for a phone interview on Tuesday, Oct. 29, BOCC Chair Mike Fedel said he is still thinking about how to structure the upcoming hearing continuation. "We will open it, and we will deliberate," he said. "I have been thinking about this, and do not have a clue how things will unfold. Obviously, we have done a lot of public hearings, but not like this one. The stakes are high, and the topic is very, very broad."
All three commissioners have been ploughing through the 1,000-page record, which includes numerous exhibits as well as public testimony. "There is a lot of information in there," Fedel said. "This is going in so many different directions, and there are so many elements involved. Who knows what the outcome will be. I don't even have a prediction. I would love to have the answer, but I don't."
The commissioners will have a number of options as they enter the deliberation process. As spelled out by County Attorney Marti Whitmore in August, they can adopt the regulations as proposed by the planning commission; reject the revisions as proposed; elect to modify the regulations with very specific language and revisions incorporated into a motion; ask staff to do more extensive revisions based on the commissioners' guidance; ask for very specific revisions of a more minor nature which could be addressed at the continued hearing date on Nov. 6.
If the revisions are fairly extensive, the board could even ask staff to do a rewrite and send the whole thing back to the planning commission again. In short, Whitmore said, "The BOCC has a great deal of discretion, and there are a range of actions they can take."
Commissioner Don Batchelder anticipated that it may take more than one evening of deliberation to completely resolve the matter. "If it is accepted in its entirety or rejected in its entirety, there is a good chance of resolution in one meeting," he said. "If bits and pieces are accepted and rejected, and there is discussion about how to go ahead and implement those changes, that could very possibly take more than one meeting."
Commissioner Lynn Padgett said that she has been "trying to stay neutral, and looking at things from all angles and all sides," in her preparations for next week's hearing.
"Technically, the challenge will be thoroughly discussing the matter, and hopefully coming to an information-based decision," she said. "I imagine there will be some rhetoric coming out of whatever the board ends up deciding – that people will perceive they weren't listened to. But no matter what we decide in the end, hopefully we will find a consensus that is workable."

YLS members gathered recently at the home of Brian and Brinn Doyle to share the holiday spirit through food, music and a "Cousin Eddie" gag-gift exchange. But throughout the evening, the talk centered on their upcoming signature fundraiser — The Eve.
Now in its third year, the annual New Year's Eve party will once again be held at The Courtyard Marriott in Oxford Dec. 31 beginning at 9 p.m. All funds raised from the event will go toward the Dolly Parton Imagination Library.
"We are aware that the first few years of a child's life determines his or her capacity to learn and adapt in society. And we also know that reading is the cornerstone for that development," said YLS President Anna-Marie Moorer. "We are proud to support the Imagination Library because it promotes reading on a very personal level."
Indeed it does. Every child in Calhoun County who is signed up for the program receives a free book each month up until age 5, no matter the family's income — a worthy endeavor, but also a costly one, which is why fundraising is a top priority.
Moorer and The Eve's planning committee, Jessica McCauley, Alyson Mims, Amie Hinton, Alyson Tucker and Katherine Davidson are working around the clock to insure this year's event is a smashing success.
"The party will be in the hotel lobby as well as out in the courtyard with lots of food, dancing and mingling," said Moorer.
Music will be provided by the Birmingham band Z and the Party Faktory, and the $50 per person ticket price includes heavy hors d'oeuvres, party favors and a Champagne toast at midnight. A "bottomless" souvenir beer mug is available for $5 extra and a "bottomless" wine glass for $10. With all that bottomless imbibing taking place, guests are invited to use the code YLS to grab an overnight room at the Courtyard for $79 plus tax.
Sponsors for The Eve include Alabama Power, AOD Federal Credit Union, Webb Concrete and Building Materials and Stringfellow Hospital, as well as ERA King Realty and Northeast Alabama Regional Medical Center.
Avoid disappointment and buy your ticket right away because last year's party sold out. Tickets can be purchased at F&M Bank in Anniston or Oxford, the Chamber of Commerce, the United Way office, the Quintard Mall office or online at theevecalhoun.com

Jen has always had a strong interest in movement: ballet as a kid, dance and gymnastics as a teenager and then a Creative Arts degree majoring in Contemporary Dance. After uni Jen moved to Australia and started working in the corporate world. Jen started flirting with yoga in her mid twenties with Ashtanga courses, Hatha classes and dance classes until she found Bikram yoga.
As soon as she started practising Bikram Yoga she knew it was going to have a big effect on her. She felt much happier, looked better and had a different positive view on things. She decided to take the plunge and leave the corporate world, enrolling in Bikram Yoga Teacher Training. Jen's trained in 2008 in Mexico and was fortunate enough to start teaching straight after graduating.
Jen opened Bikram Yoga Inner West in Petersham to fulfil her dream to share her love of Bikram yoga with truth and passion.

Fire Commissioner Salvatore J. Cassano will commission the newest FDNY fireboat, Bravest, on Thursday, May 26 at 3 p.m. at the North Cove Marina in Battery Park City, Manhattan. The Bravest is a $2.4 million, jet-powered fireboat, custom built for the FDNY by SAFE Boats International of Seattle, Washington.
The 65-foot, 80,000 pound vessel has a top speed of over 50 miles per hour, making it one of the fastest in FDNY Marine Operations. The Bravest can pump over 7,000 gallons of water per minute, carries 200 gallons of firefighting foam, and is equipped with a Purple-K dry chemical fire suppression system; which is used for fuel-fed fires. Like the other recent fireboat additions to the FDNY, the Three Forty Three and Fire Fighter II, the Bravest has a forward looking infrared (FLIR) camera and the ability to protect firefighters from chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear agents. The Bravest is also designed to operate safely in shallow waterways, such as the areas around New York City's airports.
"The word bravest has always been synonymous with the Fire Department," said Commissioner Cassano. "Now, the fireboat that will carry that name will be commissioned in the shadows of where the World Trade Center once stood as a fitting tribute to every member lost, and every member past and present who has served the FDNY."
The name Bravest adorns the sides of the boat's cabin using steel recovered from the World Trade Center. Upon the completion of training for firefighters in Marine Operations, the Bravest will be assigned to Marine 6, located in the Brooklyn Navy Yard where it will replace the fireboat Kevin C. Kane, which was placed into service in 1993.
FDNY Marine Operations is responsible for over 560 miles of coastline and harbors and has protected New York City residents for 135 years.
Fire Commissioner Salvatore J. Cassano, Chief of Department Edward S. Kilduff, Chief of Special Operations Command William Seelig, Chief of Marine Operations James Dalton, Chief Executive Officer of SAFE Boats International Scott Peterson, many other FDNY officials and their families

Sure, I agree, there are at least 3 teams better than the rockets, and at the most probably 12 teams.
Rockets GM Daryl Morey: 'There are probably at least three teams better than us'
Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey has made bold moves in the last year, landing James Harden in a trade and signing Dwight Howard this offseason
Combining that pair with a talented mix of role players has made Houston a preseason contender in the Western Conference. But Morey was unwilling to make any bold statements about his team heading into the season.
From CBSSports.com's Royce Young:
"I think there are probably at least three teams better than us, if not more," Morey said. "Until you're going into a season feeling like you are the top one or two … I think it's hard to talk about, 'Hey, we're one of the favorites to win the championship.' But I do think we go in with a chance, whereas we haven't in the last few years."
Presented with the Heat, the Thunder and the Spurs, Morey said, "I think those three, I would say going in for sure are better than us, and they've definitely proven more. I think the Bulls and the Pacers they're very good as well this year. I am hoping we are in the mix with them, maybe equal quality."
As the Lakers showed last season, high-profile acquisitions don't necessarily mean teams will meet expectations. But Morey's Rockets look as though they are built to compete with the league's best.
MAGAZINE: Daryl Morey will risk everything to back up his analytic approach

Master of Architecture
The University of Maryland's graduate programs in architecture are recognized nationally for excellence in sustainable building craft and urbanism. The Comprehensive Design Studio/Advanced Technology Seminar, the first of its kind in the nation, is a model for the integration of design studio pedagogy and technical knowledge. All students in the Master of Architecture Program (independent of their specific track) participate in this award-winning educational experience.
Building upon our location in the metropolitan Baltimore-Washington region, our Urban Design Studio advances the conviction that responsible patterns of settlement when combined with green building practices lead to a more sustainable world. The Urban Design Studio has won numerous awards and citations including honors in the Edmund Bacon Competition, the ULI Hines Competition, and the Congress of the New Urbanism.
The architecture Program offers two tracks toward the NAAB accredited Master of Architecture degree:
Advanced Standing Professional Degree Program:
The "Path A" program is an advanced standing track designed for individuals who possess an undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Architecture degree. This program links seamlessly with the University of Maryland's BS in Architecture degree and similar degrees offered at other institutions. This is a four-semester degree program leading to the NAAB accredited M ARCH degree.
Professional Degree Program for Individuals with Baccalaureates in Disciplines Other than Architecture:
This program is designed specifically for individuals who have earned a baccalaureate degree in an area other than architecture. This seven-semester program provides introduction to the fundamentals of architectural design and representation, technologies, history and theory, as well as professional practice. The program provides an efficient track toward the NAAB accredited M ARCH degree. Limited Advanced Standing in the Path B Program: Applicants who possess a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture, Bachelor of Science in Environmental Design, or similar degree, are evaluated for placement and may receive limited advanced standing in the Path B program based upon their portfolios and prior coursework.
Profile of Applicants
Applicants to the Master of Architecture degree come from diverse educational backgrounds and from many locations worldwide. They often bring with them valuable insights based on their wide-ranging life and educational experiences.
Tuition and Fees
Current tuition, fees and other expenses for degrees at the University of Maryland are posted on the Office of the Bursar website.
Note: The typical semester course load for students in the Master of Architecture degree program is 15 to 16 credit hours per semester. Tuition is calculated on a per credit hour basis (either based on in-state or out-of-state rates). To estimate your tuition multiply the cost per credit hour by the number of credit hours per semester.
Admission is competitive, and application requirements differ by degree program. We encourage applications from students with solid academic backgrounds who have earned or will earn at least a bachelor's degree at a regionally accredited college or university in the United States, or the equivalent of this degree in another country. As a minimum admission standard, the University of Maryland expects candidates to have a "B" average, or 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, in a program of study resulting in a bachelor's degree.
You may apply for admission to the University of Maryland during or after your final year of undergraduate study, but you must furnish proof of graduation before the end of your first term of enrollment at the university.
- December 15 for Part I (initial online application) and Part II (ASF) for all applicants
- January 1 for transcripts and recommendations
- January 15 for portfolios
Applications from these will be considered:
- Candidates with a four-year baccalaureate (B.S.) degree (architecture or equivalent major).
- Candidates with a four-year baccalaureate (B.A. or B.S.) degree (major other than architecture) from an accredited college or university who successfully complete specified prerequisites (see below).

Advanced Standing
In order to be considered for advanced placement, applicants must have a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Maryland or a similar degree from another academic institution. Applicants with a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture are also encouraged to apply. Read the section below on how to qualify for advanced standing.
Application Requirements
Online Graduate Application (Part I)
Go to the Graduate School website.
Read the latest instructions. When prompted, put in the four letter code that identifies the program for which you are applying.
The online code for the Master of Architecture degree is ARCH.
Before you submit your online application, you will be assessed a non-refundable $75 application processing fee. Applicants are responsible for paying this fee whether or not they submit any supporting materials, are offered admission, or choose to enroll.
Online Graduate Application Supplemental Form - ASF (Part II)
After electronically submitting the Online Graduate Application (Part I), applicants will receive an e-mail from graduate admissions with instructions on how to file ASF (Part II) of their application. This email usually arrives within 2 business days of submitting Part I online, but in peak times may take as long as 3-5 business days.
Applicants must request transcripts be forwarded to the Graduate Admissions Office from each institution where undergraduate or prior graduate work was undertaken. Sealed envelopes of transcripts that meet the requirements below must be submitted; copies will not suffice. Transcripts of course work and degrees from University of Maryland need not be submitted.
Transcripts must bear the signature of the registrar and seal of the granting institution and should include the years of attendance, courses taken, grades received, class standing and any degree, certificate or diploma received. If you anticipate a serious delay in official transcripts arriving, you may submit unofficial copies to the School (see submission addresses below) for review purposes only. Official admission (and registration for classes) cannot occur until all official transcripts have been received by the Graduate Admissions Office.
Letters of Recommendation
Three recommendations are required from professors or others who can assess the quality of the applicant's potential to succeed in the graduate program they have selected.
The online ASF (Part II), provides an electronic recommendation form, which facilitates submission and receipt in most cases. Applicants can also download the Recommendation Letter Forms and add the applicant's full name, so that the Graduate School can attach the recommendation letter upon receipt. All recommendations must be submitted directly to the Graduate School by the person providing the recommendation (online or in a sealed envelope).
Statement of Goals, Experiences and Research Interests
(1000-2000 words)
All programs require applicants to prepare a statement of their goals and objectives in pursuing graduate study. This should be submitted using the ASF online.
All programs require applicants to provide an up-to-date resume via the online ASF (Part II).
Graduate Record Examination
A GRE score is required to be sent directly to the University by the testing Authority. The Code for the GRE is 5814.
For more information visit:
Portfolios must be submitted directly to the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation. They should be bound and not exceed 9" x 12". The portfolio should contain reproductions of creative work including drawings, paintings, photographs, sculpture, sketches, and/or architectural designs. Creative writing and original papers and research may also be submitted within the portfolio, but overall emphasis should be on visual creativity. Any other form of portfolio will be automatically rejected.
If return is requested, a self-addressed envelope of sufficient size and adequate postage must be included.
Qualification for Advanced Standing
A condition of admission with advanced standing in the Architecture Program is documentation to verify completion of National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB) Student Performance Criteria (SPC) that applicants have satisfied in prior coursework at their undergraduate institution. This requirement is now a condition of accreditation for all NAAB accredited architecture programs. The relevant text from the NAAB 2009 Conditions for Accreditation below:
Because of the expectation that all graduates meet the SPC (see Section 1 above), the program must demonstrate that it is thorough in the evaluation of the preparatory or pre-professional education of individuals admitted to the NAAB-accredited degree program.
In the event a program relies on the preparatory/pre-professional educational experience to ensure that students have met certain SPC, the program must demonstrate it has established standards for ensuring these SPC are met and for determining whether any gaps exist. Likewise, the program must demonstrate it has determined how any gaps will be addressed during each student's progress through the accredited degree program. This assessment should be documented in a student'sadmission and advising files.
[NOTE: A review of course titles and descriptions in and of itself is not considered sufficient for this activity.]
Currently 15 of the 32 NAAB SPC are either met or partially met in the University of Maryland's Bachelor of Science Program and serve as pre-requisites for admission to the M ARCH program with advanced standing. They are:
- A.1 Communication Skills**
- A.3 Visual Communication Skills**
- A.5 Investigative Skills*
- A.6 Fundamental Design Skills**
- A.7 Use of Precedents*
- A.8 Ordering Systems*
- A.9 Historical Traditions & Global Culture**
- A.10 Cultural Diversity**
- B.3 Sustainability*
- B.4 Site Design*
- B.5 Life Safety*
- B.8 Environmental Systems*
- B.9 Structural Systems**
- B.11 Building Service Systems*
- B.12 Building Materials and Assemblies*
*Indicates criterion is partially met in the pre-professional degree
**Indicates that criterion is met in the pre-professional degree
The admissions committee makes a determination on advanced standing after an applicant has been admitted to the School. Once admitted, candidates for advanced standing may be asked to submit additional evidence to demonstrate that they satisfied the above SPC to a comparable extent during the course of their undergraduate degree program. The following materials are used in the determination process:
- Portfolio of academic work from architectural design studios (submitted in round 1).
- Course syllabi for each course you took in your undergraduate education in the following areas:
- Structures courses
- Building methods and materials coursesMechanical, electrical and plumbing courses
- Design studios
- History / theory courses
- Professional practice courses (if any)
- Any other course for which you satisfied an NAAB SPC
- Any assignments, projects, examinations, tests, and quizzes illustrating successful completion of the SPC from the above courses.
If deficiencies in SPC are found to exist, the student's curriculum will be modified to include additional coursework that satisfy the NAAB requirement.
International Applicants
Applicants who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents must submit additional documents.
Updated information is available on the Graduate School website at:

Grade Point Average in Major Policy
The 3.0 GPA in major policy requires all graduate students matriculating in Fall 2012 to earn a 3.0 grade point average in their major, minor, and/or certificate requirements. With the new plus/minus policy, the minimum grade for most major courses is a B - , now calculated as a 2.7. It is important that graduate students clearly understand what courses make up major, minor and certificate requirements, and that the cumulative GPA for those courses must be at least 3.0.
Recommended Internships
At various points in a student's education practical experience gained through internship complements and provides insight into formal education. The Program provides an annual Career Fair that enables students gain contacts with major firms in the Washington - Baltimore area as well as firms with numerous locations nationally and internationally. Many students arrange internships over the summer and/or winter recess. While the Program does not provide academic credit for work in a professional context, the experiences gained therein are invaluable to a student's development.
Recommended Education Abroad
The Architecture Program offers several intensive study abroad programs during the winter term and over the summer session. The programs are generally three or six weeks in duration and are lead by faculty members who have proven expertise in locales in which the programs are located. Past programs have taken students to France, India, Italy, North Africa, Peru, Russia, Turkey, South Africa, and the Yucatan. Students study the historical and contemporary architecture, urbanism, and cultures of the nations visited.

The Oklahoma State University scandal is shaking up students and loyal fans across campus. "When I think of Oklahoma State and OSU football it's something I am really proud of," said OSU Senior Rosie Templeton.On Tuesday, Sports Illustrated issued part one of five of the "Dirty Game" claiming misconduct from OSU athletes dating back to 2001.On Twitter #iridewiththecowboys hashtag was trending and students were going to that to read the latest on the scandal. "Having that much school pride and faith we are doing the right thing by being behind them all the way," said OSU freshman Miranda Hodges. She works at For Pete's Sake, an OSU apparel store, and doesn't believe OSU athletics deserve to get bad name over the allegations against the football team that day back more than a decade ago. "I don't think it is fair to our school," said Hodges. Outside of Eskimo Joes OSU Senior Rosie Templeton said she got up early to read "The Money" version in Sports Illustrated. "I was sitting at my computer waiting for 8 o'clock to strike, to see the report and see what has been said," said Templeton.She is an agricultural media major and tried to read the allegations objectively in the magazine. "This is straight up yellow journalism," said Templeton. "Now that doesn't discredit it completely," said Templeton.However, many question the sources such as former players who may have had an issue with OSU."Interviewing all of the bad apples and not getting what is really going on what is really good about OSU," said OSU senior Landon Brown. Outside of Boone Pickens Stadium, Paddle People members were wrapping their paddles for the season. "Being the leadership of the fans," said Paddle People President Jeremy Duck.At OSU football games you'll see the sea of orange fans slapping their paddles against the stadium. "Being the spirit leaders in the crowd definitely gets you fired up," said OSU freshman Manny Rubio.Despite a football team tainted with serious allegations of misconduct, Cowboy fans are ready to take their pride to the field. "The best thing for OSU to do right now is stick behind our school," said Duck. OSU sophomore Graham Coffelt who is majoring in sports media has a lot of questions but said he's passionate about being a member and officer for Paddle People."This is the in the fabric of our university and so this is a necessary thing for the university to lean on," said Coffelt. FOX23 News wasn't allowed inside Boone Pickens Stadium but you could hear the beat of the paddles as members practiced for this week's home game against the Lamar Cardinals. "Bring the spirits up after the tough week we have been having," said Rubio. Fans like Brown say the good that has come from this controversy is the pride among Cowboy supporters. "I think a little struggle, a little adversity will make Oklahoma State fans come out even stronger," said Templeton. Part II of the Sports Illustrated "Dirty Game" article focusing on academics will be issued Wednesday.

This is a good production by Disney, even though it has a couple of drawbacks. The animation and music are brilliant. The scenes in the Hawaiian sea are very impressive and the modern versions of Elvis hits are delightful. The alien creature Stitch is not really a Disney character, even though at the end he is appealing. I enjoyed watching this movie, but I think one time was enough.

Disney has a new Masterpiece!
I thought this movie was amazing! I especially loved the surfing scenes. Thay look so realistic. When Stitch and Nani drop in that final wave, we see a close up of Stitch and almost feel like we are there with him. It truly is amazing. The Elvis music is great. Some of the "camera angles" make you forget it is a cartoon. It is also obvious that great care was taken to capture the essence of Hawai'i and the people and culture. Look at the scenery, the roads, Nani's side yard. If you have been to Hawai'i, you know how accurate it is.

Lilo & Stitch are obviously weirdest twosome since "Dr. Jumb & Pelekai" and once they discover each other the fun is just starting and when the Alien authorities discover that Exp #626 had escaped by stealing a rocket and then crash landing it on earth that's when the fun realy begins.
MUSIC, ANIMATION ARE DISNEY CLASSIC full of the right stuff that make 'LILO & STITCH' A Disney classic.

JExpress is a Java installer builder and auto-updater. It gives you your choice of a standalone installer, including both native and cross platform installers and updaters for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris, or a Java Web Start one-click install. You create your installer quickly with your choice of a simple wizard or a powerful advanced interface, both included. You can bundle the exact JVM you want with your installer. The auto-updater gives you a continuous revenue stream after the sale. Your software is always up-to-date, so your customers have fewer problems. You also get all the features you expect in a top end installer. Your Java application becomes a native program just like any other. On Windows it's an EXE, on Mac OS X an app bundle, etc. If you need something really special, you can customize your installer by adding simple Java classes. You can even get a source license at a reasonable price.
makeself is a small shell script that generates a self-extractable compressed TAR archive from a directory. The resulting file appears as a shell script, and can be launched as is. The archive will then uncompress itself to a temporary directory and an arbitrary command will be executed (for example, an installation script). This is pretty similar to archives generated with WinZip Self-Extractor in the Windows world.
PIKT is cross-categorical, multi-purpose software for monitoring and configuring computer systems, administering networks, organizing system security, and much more. PIKT is intended primarily for system monitoring, and secondarily for configuration management, but its versatility and extensibility evoke many other wide-ranging uses. PIKT consists of a sophisticated, feature-rich file preprocessor; an innovative scripting language with unique labor-saving features; a flexible, centrally directed process scheduler; a customizing file installer; a collection of powerful command-line extensions; and other useful tools.
Andutteye is a systems management platform that automates enterprise data centers and keeps them running. It contains different modules that targets different tasks of systems management. From a single point of operations you can monitor, manage, and execute all ranges of tasks needed for centralized systems management.
Puppet lets you centrally manage every important aspect of your system using a cross-platform specification language that manages all the separate elements normally aggregated in different files, including users, cron jobs, and hosts, along with obviously discrete elements like packages, services, and files. Its simple declarative specification language provides powerful classing abilities for drawing out the similarities between hosts while allowing them to be as specific as necessary, and it handles dependency and prerequisite relationships between objects clearly and explicitly.
Bcfg2 helps system administrators produce a consistent, reproducible, and verifiable description of their environment, and offers visualization and reporting tools to aid in day-to-day administrative tasks. It is based on an operational model in which the specification can be used to validate and optionally change the state of clients, but in a feature unique to bcfg2 the client's response to the specification can also be used to assess the completeness of the specification. Using this feature, bcfg2 provides an objective measure of how good a job an administrator has done in specifying the configuration of client systems. Bcfg2 is therefore built to help administrators construct an accurate, comprehensive specification. Bcfg2 has been designed from the ground up to support gentle reconciliation between the specification and current client states. It is designed to gracefully cope with manual system modifications. Bcfg2 can also enable the construction of complex change management and deployment strategies.
queue_repair can be used to check or correct most corruptions of the queue in qmail (resulting from filesystem damage, etc). Functionality includes automatic, dynamic determination of UIDs and GIDs. Automatic, dynamic determination of use of big-todo. Handles basic tasks like fixing a queue restored from backups, incorrect ownership or permissions of directories and files, missing or extra split subdirectories, unexpected files or other directories, or creating a valid queue from scratch.

EVS26 finds the electric car industry growing, but tentative, as it looks toward California expansion
The story a trade show EVS26 can tell the non-industry insider about electric cars is a complicated one. EVS26 is wrapping up today in LA's Convention Center. I went by yesterday and today for a closer look at what's going on, something members of the public, car enthusiasts, were able to do on the public day, Sunday, and with test drives outside the convention hall. (The Batmobile-style-Days of Thunder machine above not included.)
What's interesting is that these guys are trying to guess what kind of inducements they have to provide to get people on board with new technology. What's even more interesting is that, even after all these years, they're still guessing.
Sometimes that takes the form of how the electrical current connects up to the car, what kind of a charger you need. Will people just be content to plug their cars into a 220 outlet at home? There's a worry they won't, which is why something called wireless charging was a big deal at this show. I saw this technology, and Consumer Reports describes it well:

The Farm Crisis
By Ben Stanton & Sarah Boden
The farm crisis of the 1980s meant high interest rates; it's estimated that farmland values dropped nearly 60 percent in some areas of the Midwest during the early '80s. But it was not just an economic disaster. A new documentary also tries to capture the personal stories. Guest host Ben Stanton talks with the producer of "The Farm Crisis" Laurel Bower Burgmaier. Later in the show is an update to the flood-related weather outlook for Iowa, and hear about NPR's programing changes now in effect and how they will affect Iowa Public Radio.
