Hi Rom,
I wanted to say it's nice that an employee is actually responding to players (even though you ignored my mermaid question ). Also, your new aura of professionalism now that you're making major $$$ is a refreshing change from the old days of sitting back and laughing your **** off at the shenanigans that go on at the forums.
I'm sorry that I perpetuated Cal's rumor that you smell. I'm sure you have a lovely musk.
Keep up the hard work. I hope you can help move this game in a good direction.

Grants & Scholarships
Grants are gifts that do not need to be repaid and may come from institutional, federal, state or private sources.
Bates Scholarship
Usually the largest component of a need-based financial aid package, Bates scholarships are funded by endowment earnings, the annual operating budget of the college and gifts from alumni parents and friends.
Federal Grants
In addition to Bates scholarship, students with exceptional need may be awarded a Federal Pell Grant or a Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG.) Federal Pell Grants are generally awarded to students with federal family contributions equal to or less than $5,157, and award amounts range from $587 to $5,730. Federal Pell grant recipients are given priority for FSEOG awards, which range from $2,000 to $4,000.
State Grants
Students who live in certain states may qualify for scholarships or grants offered through their state higher education authority. Students should consult their high school guidance counselor or state scholarship office for eligibility and deadline information.
Treatment of Federal and State Grants in the Financial Aid Package
If a student receives a federal or state grant that was not included in his or her original financial aid award, the amount received will replace an equal amount of the Bates scholarship; the overall grant will not increase as a result of receiving a federal or state grant.
Outside Scholarships
Bates has a generous outside scholarship policy that rewards students who seek out and apply for these awards, and will not reduce the Bates scholarship in a package unless the combination of scholarship aid from all sources (Bates, federal, state or other) exceeds the student's calculated cost of attendance. Outside scholarships can be used to reduce the loan and/or work components of a financial aid package or supplement the family contribution. Outside scholarships must be reported to ensure that financial aid awards remain in compliance with federal regulations and can be reported online through the Student Financial Services menu of the Garnet Gateway.
Tuition Benefits Through a Parent's Employer
Tuition benefits received by an employer are included as components of the family contribution and directly reduce the Bates Scholarship.

Graduate Bulletin 2013-2015 » Academic Programs and Courses » Biological Sciences » Program in Biology
Program in Biology
Admission Requirements
- A bachelor's degree (or its equivalent) from an accredited college or university.
- Demonstrate the potential to pursue graduate study successfully that is, have attained a minimum undergraduate grade average of B in the field selected for the graduate major and a minimum grade average of B- in the undergraduate record as a whole.
- Have completed a major in biology, chemistry, physics, or an allied field.
With Undergraduate Specialization in Biology:
Candidates whose undergraduate major was in biology must have completed: (1) one year of organic chemistry, with laboratory; (2) one year of college physics; and (3) either one year of calculus or one semester of calculus and a semester of statistics.
With Undergraduate Specialization in Chemistry, Physics, or Allied Field:
Candidates whose undergraduate major was in either chemistry, physics, or an allied field must have completed: (1) the equivalent of an undergraduate minor in biology; (2) one year of organic chemistry, with laboratory; (3) one year of college physics; and (4) either one year of calculus or one semester of calculus and a semester of statistics. In addition, they must submit up to three letters of recommendation and, if conditionally admitted, satisfy the conditions within one year.
Degree Requirements
All students (matriculated or nonmatriculated) should consult with the Departmental Graduate Adviser regarding their programs. The following three tracks toward the Master of Arts degree are available:
• Independent Laboratory Research (Track A). (30 credits)
A student may elect to substitute 3 to 6 credits in original laboratory research (BIO 799.1, 799.2, and 799.3) for 3 to 6 credits of coursework. When a student is ready to select a research problem, a research advisory committee of faculty members will be established in consultation with his or her thesis adviser,* to guide the investigation. A thesis based on this research must be defended satisfactorily in an oral presentation prior to its submission in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Approved copies of the thesis must be deposited in the Lehman College Library and the Department of Biology.
*Students who choose a thesis adviser at the New York Botanical Garden or at another institution must have an "in-house" adviser. This individual must be a full-time faculty member of the Department of Biological Sciences at Lehman College and a member of the graduate faculty in biological sciences.
• Comprehensive Examination (Track B). (30 credits)
Students who select this track must complete 30 credits and then must pass a comprehensive examination (which is the CUNY Doctoral Program in Biology's First Examination). Passing this examination will not only meet the requirements for the Master of Arts degree but also qualify the student to proceed into the CUNY Doctoral Program in Biology. A grade of 65 is deemed a passing grade to meet the requirements for the Master of Arts degree, while a grade of 70 is the minimal passing grade that will allow the student to proceed into the CUNY Doctoral Program in Biology (subject to satisfactory meeting of other admission requirements).
• Tutorial (Track C). 34 credits.
A student must include 4 credits of tutorial (BIO 792.2) as part of 34 credits required in this track. This tutorial is performed under the supervision of a member of the graduate faculty in Biological Sciences. It is intended to involve the student in the performance of a carefully supervised project. The project may involve research in the laboratory, a library review of relevant topics, or a combination of the two. The results of this project will be written and submitted to the Department of Biological Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the master's degree. This document will become part of the departmental library.
Academic Probation and Continuation
All graduate students whose GPA falls between 2.7 and 3.0 will be placed on academic probation. See the College's graduate policies and procedures regarding probation and continuation.
Graduate students in Biological Sciences degree programs whose GPA falls below 2.7 will not be eligible for probation and may only continue in their program upon successful appeal to the Graduate Studies Committee.
Students who received a failing grade in a course and have a cumulative GPA between 2.7 and 3.0 will only be granted one semester to make sufficient progress towards degree completion and bring the GPA back up to 3.0 or above. Students may not continue in any course for which the failed course is a prerequisite. If the GPA is not raised to a 3.0 or above by the end of the next registered semester the student will be asked to discontinue their program of study.
Students, who receive two failing grades in any of the courses satisfying the degree curriculum, will not be eligible for probation and will be asked to discontinue their program of study.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- DC Police announced on Saturday that a private school employee in southeast Washington fought off an intruder who tried to sexually assault her. It happened hours before an attack at another school.
Authorities said the first attack happened early Thursday morning at the Naylor Road School. A man apparently grabbed the victim, but she managed to escape. A police spokesman confirms the attack occurred inside the school building. It wasn't clear if any students were present.
Police said they also arrested a Prince George's County man in another attempted sexual assault Thursday inside a school in southeast Washington. The second attack occurred at the Harris Educational Center at the Community College of D.C. Police charged 20-year-old Jamal Coleman of Fort Washington in the second attack.
Detectives do not believe the cases are related.

- About Plattsburgh
These and other concepts underlie the study of politics and government. They give rise not merely to questions of fact, such as, "How does our electoral system work?" but to normative questions as well, such as, "Is our electoral system genuinely fair?"
The basic questions have been asked at least since the days of Aristotle. And they will stay with us, since governments will always have a vital role to play while also always being subject to abuse and corruption.
In a democratic nation, these questions are not just of academic interest. Citizens face them throughout their lives, from attending school board meetings to electing a president. The more people know, the better they can hold their government accountable, and the more democracy there will be.
Our former students now practice law from New York to Colorado; they work in state government; some at very high levels. They work on Capitol Hill; one is a member of Congress; they are lobbyists, party leaders, fundraisers, policy analysts, and teachers. They are all involved in democracy. Please visit our careers page for more information on careers in political science.

The Atlantic Coast Conference presidents have agreed for the league to retain media rights for a school that leaves the conference.
The league said Monday each of the current and future schools has signed the deal, which is effective immediately.
The grant of rights means any school that leaves would also have to leave its TV rights behind. Those rights would stay with the ACC, meaning the departing school wouldn't bring any added TV value to a new league's broadcast package.
It would essentially lock schools in through the existing TV deal, including eventual arrivals Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Notre Dame and Louisville.
The ACC is the fourth major conference to approve a grant of TV rights, joining the Big 12, Big Ten and Pac-12.

- Title
- 2004: glorious corporeality
- Author(s)
- Gye, Lisa
- Abstract
- There is a persistent trope of disembodiment that frames many investigations into the impact of new media technologies on culture. When we sit in chat rooms or immerse ourselves in virtual worlds, our bodies are supposed to lapse into redundancy—meat, as William Gibson called it. Despite the aching necks and backs and chronic RSI suffered by those who engage heavily with computing technologies, this trope persistently surfaces. So it was interesting to note that the body, in all its glorious corporeality, emerged as a loose theme binding the works exhibited as part of the ACMI Screen Gallery component of 2004: Australian Culture Now.

Since January 2008, the department of Systematic Botany is merged with our friends at the Department of Systematic Zoology, into the new Department of Systematic Biology!
Systematic Biology
The Department of Systematic Biology is a sub-department under the Department of Evolution, Genomics and Systematics at the Evolutionary Biology Centre of Uppsala University.
Photo: Pereric Öberg
Systematics is one of the oldest disciplines at Uppsala University, following a long tradition that began with Linnaeus and continues to the present. The Systematic Biology program combines the former Systematic Botany and Zoology departments into a single group studying a wide range of topics from alpha-taxonomy to the deepest branches in the tree of life. A combination of traditional and modern techniques are used to study the important topics in modern systematics including taxonomy, molecular evolution, bioinformatics, ethnobotany, conservation and phylogenetic methods.

One of the first relationships you establish at Seidenberg will be with your academic adviser. In addition to providing guidance, your adviser will help you navigate the undergraduate experience, by providing you with course sequence suggestions, directing you to University resources, and ensuring you graduate within your established timeline.
Advisement is available to students on a full-time basis, and may be done in-person, or via phone or email. We encourage you to maintain a relationship with your adviser throughout your time at Seidenberg.

Undergraduate Academic Advisement
Undergraduate students are required to meet with an adviser prior to each registration period to review their academic progress, plan a class schedule, and to discuss opportunities at Pace. Advisers work with students to explore different areas of studies; discuss possible minors, dual majors, and career paths. During the meetings, advisers encourage students to become involved in extracurricular activities and volunteer work in the surrounding community. They stress the importance of registering with Co-op and Career Services Center and go into great detail about the benefits of participating in at least one internship during their four years at Pace.
When working with an undecided student, advisers make sure that the student is aware of all of their options and strive to design their schedule each semester so that there will be minimal conflict if they decide to change majors within the school. Advisers continue to work with undecided students in an effort to help explore the many programs and minors within the school and help guide the students, so they can make the decision as to which major they would like to pursue.
Advisement is available to Seidenberg School graduate students both in White Plains and in New York City on a full-time basis. The adviser is there to guide students through their academic programs and to provide them with the appropriate resources to achieve academic success. The adviser helps students explore career options while directing them toward the appropriate services on campus to apply their classroom learning to pre-professional and professional work environments.

I began last evening by setting up the scope, just after sunset. This would give plenty of time for mirror "cool down", while also giving an allotment for equatorial alignment. I currently run my 110mm newt on an old Meade Starfinder GEM. The Starfinder (including 10" scope and original accessory box) was a $50 yard sale steal a few years back, and provides a fairly hefty mount for anything lighter than 25 lbs. Of course the adjustments are rather coarse, and there is no hand held controller nor AP friendly gear accuracy. But it tracks, and it was cheap...nuff said. So I spent a free hour last night aligning the mount (for the first time) to offer as little drift as possible. By the time I was finished leveling and shifting the pier, adjusting the EQ angle, and playing "trombone" with the counter weights, I could successfully keep my planet within the inner ring of my 100x illuminated reticle eyepiece for 10 minutes. Good enough for this bloke!
Once I finished puttering with the mount the skies had lazily shifted from A-V to A-IV. As I began sketching it became obvious that conditions were typical for this area. Unlike past sporadic sessions in such skies, however, was my ability to actually see things. I wouldn't accuse my details to be a revelation, although I can't say that I've ever recorded as much with such poor atmosphere between me and my subject. For that alone I was happy. Where more of my enthusiasm came from last night was my perception of colors. Given several recent discussions here in the sketching forum, I made an increased effort to concentrate on those hues, so delicately revealed in my 4" instrument. For the first time I saw a bluish-gray in the festoons. And once I witness the distinctly cool color the warmth of the other features became relatively more apparent. The equatorial band took on a hazelnut appearance, while the NTB offered a slight reddness, akin to chestnuts. The polar regions, along with the NTropZ glowed gently with what I would refer to as "eggnog". My old 12" dob (now in boxes awaiting a rebuild) could easily catch such pigments. It was, however, soulfully stimulating to decode such variations in my 4" for the first time. I appreciate the remarks form others suggesting that I should be able to see such variances with a smaller objective. I don't believe Jupiter will ever look monochrome to me again.
Regarding the details, I often feel uncertain about recording a number of features. But like I've said before, if I see it more than once I sketch it. The dark area in the NEB was confusing to me. It certainly could have been a play of contrast near the limb with poor seeing. So after verifying it over and over I penciled it in.
One last journal entry: this was my first sketch with new pencils. I have been frustrated with the limitations of the No. 2 pencil I have been using. In response to said frustrations I imposed on the drawing section of my local art and craft store. Once I finished amusing myself with the numerous levels of graphite hardness, I procured a trio of pencils befitting to my hand pressure style which, in theory, should improve my gradation in the field. I don't think this image does justice to demonstrate how much nicer it was to actually draw.
Enough of my rambling.

A fine looking sketch of Jupiter showing all the basic features and great looking festoons. I have not seen them in their true color this go around but I'm still trying.
Posted 04 December 2012 - 11:02 AM
My goodness, those darker caps along the NTB are amazing. I wish I had that view. The tawny NTropZ is spot on. And the festoons, well, I really like the way you present them.
I see you still have those stray pencil marks every where. Don't get me wrong, they do not detract from the view. I think they might be your signature.
So, how did the easel work out?
Been thinking about sketching, recently. You know, the art work is nice and beautiful. It's like a photo, really, it captures a moment beautifully. But, the point is, it captures the moment. It speaks to you with a silent voice. It's a voice we all have heard when we've seen Jupiter dressed in all her glory. That's the power of art, a common unspoken understanding of something wonderful. We all share it and experience it in our own way. It's that something wonderful, that moment sketching allows us to share.
Well done. I like this one because I can relate to it. Problem is, it's too good. I forgot to read your write up. Doing that now.

...eyepiece for 10 minutes.
What a luxury, and with an easel? You make this out to be easy or something. Clip board an un-driven (ie low carbon foot print and no reliance on unreliable grid.) That's work, uphill both ways.
...my enthusiasm came from last night was my perception of colors.
If we were in the locker room, you'd get an crisp slap on the butt for that one. Well done.
...The dark area in the NEB was confusing to me.
There are some up there, not sure what CM. See it, sketch it. You know, there was a very faint filament I glimpsed in the NEB. I KNOW I saw it, so it got sketched. It was amazing to find an image actually showing it. That was gratifying.
Thanks for posting.
Posted 04 December 2012 - 12:45 PM
Thanks for trudging through the post. I tend to meander a bit as I write, so I imagine how difficult it must be to read my thoughts from the outside.
Yes, sketching is always powdered with some layer of guess work. In A-IV that means larger features like barges, festoons and ovals. In A-I it means pushing the limit into fine filamentary gradations and cloud swirls within the bands themselves. I think this is just starting to get really interesting for me.
As for my sketchy style with the visible pencil marks, I have only decided to post "as is" because of the honest appearance. I appreciate that you, and others, seem to enjoy that it is becoming my signature style. Believe me, I'd prefer to redraw the images at the kitchen table to present a more finished product. I am a bit "OCD-like" in many aspects of my life. I just think there are times that I allow myself to let loose. This is one of them.
Posted 04 December 2012 - 05:38 PM
Good sketch of Jupiter .
Posted 04 December 2012 - 08:51 PM
Absolutely, when better seeing is more prevalent one can easily fill up a sketch with this or that minute, fleeting feature. That's work, especially for those of us who have to squeeze everything possible from the view. This is what makes lunar sketching so difficult. There's so much, it overwhelms the observer inflicted with OCD. Never time to scrub your hands enough, or put the lens cap on and off several times while observing. (kidding.)
So, where was this going? Dunno, better delete and rewrite it to stay on topic. Just chatting, though.
Posted 04 December 2012 - 09:09 PM
We use the best telescope we have for the job at hand--if it is not suitable for planetary observing, don't use it. My 4.25" short focal length reflector is very much not suited for observing planets and I never put it to that task. It is great for wide field views of comets so I generally reserve it for that purpose. Your scopes seem well suited for observiing planets.
As far as pencils--I think less is more. The 2B has a very wide range depending on how hard you press or how many layers of graphite you want to put on. The HB is useful for very light shading or outlining. 4B, 6B. or 9B can be useful if you're trying to show *really* dark features compared to other features.
Observing colors on Jupiter (and the other planets) seems to be very subjective--subject to the functions of the observer's visual color acuity, seeing conditions, and aperture. One observing session may not be as good as the next. The key seems to be to get in as many sessions as you can. Of course, that varies depending on your situation since we're amateurs.
Remember: the root definition of "amateur" means --"for the love of it".

Yes, great point. That certainly rings true in experience. Sometimes I wonder if seeing affects color. Seeing does aberrate the incoming wavefront giving a less than perfect final image, but it does not change the frequency of the light (to my knowledge.) However, if the image is more mushy, maybe the saturation falls off dramatically, too.
Often we hear light pollution does not affect planets. No proof to the contrary, but some thoughts on that. It did seem when the moon was near Jupiter recently, color was a bit more difficult. I think this has to do with signal to noise ratio, with Jupiter's signal being made more noisy with stray photons (noise) from the moon scattered by the atmosphere. When the SNR falls off, resolution is lost, as I understand the concept. Maybe most of those photons were blue, so not sure how that would play over the entire spectrum. Just thoughts. But, sure, no doubt conditions do play a role.
The other trick is, IMO, to understand what seeing color feels like. It's certainly much harder to see than the florescent green of an emergency vehicle. It won't jump out at you, but Tawney is distinct from gray even at low saturation. I didn't read that anywhere, it just kind of hit me - for what that's worth.
There is a contrast test one can take (wish I had the link) where one puts soft colors in order of hue and saturation, like varying shades of pink merging into varying shades shades of purple or something similar. Most people can do pretty well on it. It's easy to separate the distinctly pink from the distinctly purple, but more difficult to distinguish between close shades of one color. It's interesting where the colors transition softly from one to the other, it can be done.
Interesting stuff, the amateur love of it all.
Edit: Here it is.
And another more sensitive test:
Posted 04 December 2012 - 11:11 PM
BTW, I never did divulge my pencil preference, but I tend to have a heavy hand, especially in the dark I have found. So I find a 5H works well for me when placing major structures. I follow up with an 8H for the subtle features, and an HB for darker regions. One thing I am considering is a paper with more tooth. The great thing about this is that I do it for myself, so experimentation is always in order.
Posted 04 December 2012 - 11:20 PM
Of course I'm at work right now and those links don't play nicely with my phone. I want very much to test myself. I'll give it a go when I get home in the morning.

Great sketch of Jupiter. The bluish festoons, the dark brownish red barge, and the yellowish NTrz are all beautiful colors well rendered.

I thought it would be funny to start a blog called "Sh*t This Old House says" and include quotes of the hosts and carpenters using phrases from the world of construction that sound dirty but really aren't (i.e.-"Just keep pounding until it comes loose," "we need a little more caulk right there," or the all-time classic "bitchathane"). Sometimes my mind just reverts to a juvenile state and I can giggle my way through an entire episode.
This Old House" put a few seasons up as full episodes on a YouTube channel, and they are now finally offering the most recent season online a day or two after they are distributed to PBS stations (airdates vary depending on the station). As a longtime viewer of the series, much has changed over the years. Long gone is Bob Vila, and Steve Thomas vanished from whence he came a few years ago. His replacement, Kevin O'Connor was found when he asked for advice from "Ask This Old House," the companion series to the original which features more basic home improvement tips. Maybe I'm biased because his name is Kevin, or maybe I'm biased because I never really warmed to Steve (Bob was "the man"), but Kevin functions well as host. As a non-expert, he is able to ask the sorts of questions the rest of us amateurs might ask.
The chief complaint I hear from other longtime viewers is the series focuses too much on massive mansions instead of smaller projects people can relate to. For solely home improvement advice, I'd recommend "Ask This Old House," but that does not mean I agree with the claim. I concede the selection of homes tends to be grander in scale than the early years of the show, but if you replace a window in a million-dollar home, the process is the same on a $20,000 shack. "This Old House" has been more about using new materials to renovate an existing house, and that core concept — demonstrating the techniques and products — hasn't changed.
The primary team of craftsmen has remained largely unchanged since the series began, though Norm Abram stopped wearing plaid (I'm old enough to remember the days before Norm had a beard, but that is neither here nor there). Tom Silva still serves as point man on the Boston (or surrounding area) based projects, and there are other regulars as well, but the pacing of the series has undergone a dramatic transformation in recent seasons.
Episodes always used to open with the host arriving on site in a (sponsored) pickup truck. He would then walk leisurely through the house and show the progress and the process of each step of the renovation. While the series often broke away from the site to tour a manufacturing facility, a historic home, or a home center, it used to take place more-or-less in real time. Now the pace is sped up and we might see two or three days unfold in a 25 minute episode. There is now a lot of interstitial music, quick edits, voice-overs, and time-lapse video.
Truth be told, I preferred the slower, more realistic pace. This was a series I used to watch on lazy Saturday afternoons (Norm worked hard so I wouldn't have to). I liked being able to experience how long it took mortar to set up and how long it took to professionally paint window trim. The steps are still shown, but the time it takes to complete them has been condensed, and I feel something is lost by removing that. However, the show is still head-and-shoulders above any of the home shows on commercial stations. Nobody cries, nobody rushes through a job, and I actually learn things in an entertaining way.
I don't think "This Old House" gets enough credit for how it has contributed to our cultural landscape. It was among the first of the "how-to" shows with a production budget, and it helped spark a nationwide interest in preserving historic homes instead of just leveling them and starting over.
Believe it or not, I converted several older episodes from my VHS collection (yes I used to record episodes as they were broadcast) to digital files, and I sometimes go back and review them. A lot of people might not catch at first glance that each home has a story — a history and character. The families who elect to work to restore or enhance the history and character are a rare and commendable breed, and the stories are timeless and compelling.
One final point I want to mention about "This Old House" is this is a reality series that is more real than most. If you check out the series they shot in New Orleans (after Hurricane Katrina), you can see what happens as the general contractor hired to oversee the site flaked out and was fired. They do not stage things like termite damage or dangerous wiring — such things are a natural part of any renovation process. People who do not think this is a series for you might want to reconsider. Plumbers and electricians are expensive; I have learned to do minor repairs on my own because of "This Old House." In an era where every penny counts, that counts for a lot.

I wanted to write a quick note to say what a great job Hope C. did yesterday. I ordered work overalls for an employee and had them shipped to his home. I typed the zip code incorrectly. When I got the tracking number, I saw that the overalls were to be shipped to the wrong address! I called immediately and Hope was so professional and reassuring. She said that she would get the address fixed. She followed up with an email to let me know that she found the package on the truck and was able to change the address before it went out. Thanks for having such a great employee! Although my order was small, she treated it like it was her top priority! As a business owner myself, I know that excellent employees are hard to find! Thank you for taking care of my order!"

Drinking is an activity in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that can be done with the player's girlfriends, and, in GTA IV (and its DLCs) with friends, at a bar. It is also available in GTA V.
GTA San Andreas
In GTA San Andreas, drinking is counted as part of "eating" in dates, meaning bars in San Andreas are clumped together with restaurants.
Each of the player's girlfriends has preferences towards bars, which are more of a low-end destination for a date; as a result, certain girlfriends will shun bars altogether. When entered along with a girlfriend, the player is treated with a cutscene of player character drinking in the bar with the girlfriend, the girlfriend's behavior dependent on whether she likes going to a bar or not.
Drinking can be done at any of these bars accessible by the protagonist and their girlfriends:
- Ten Green Bottles, Los Santos.
- Misty's, San Fierro.
- The Craw Bar, Las Venturas.
- Lil' Probe'Inn, Bone County.
In GTA IV, drinking will usually result in both the player and his accompanying friend leaving drunk, staggering and tripping over. The effects of the activity is made worse with the camera swaying about (worsen with motion blur enabled). The cost of drinking in a bar is between $50-$100, depending on the "class" of the bar. When visiting a bar with friends and girlfriends, a cutscene will show them going in the bar. Afterwards, both of them will appear outside the bar, drunk/intoxicated. Whoever Niko gets drunk with will determine how severe the effect is and how long it lasts, for example, drinking with Roman or Packie will get Niko completely wasted, but drinking with a girlfriend will get him only partially drunk. When drunk, there is some unique conversation between the characters, who will sometimes reveal other aspects of their personality. Frequently, the conversation may become an argument and Niko will tell the other person to be quiet. While drunk, Niko will stumble and sometimes fall to the ground, the same as the person who is with him. He will also be unable to walk in a straight line, run, and jump, access his phone (unless in a vehicle) or draw a weapon or fight. Vision will also become blurry and the camera will move irregularly. The controller will vibrate sporatically, increasing and decreasing in severity if one is using a Dualshock 3 controller. The intoxication wears off after a while, and if another activity is done after drinking or after dropping off the other person at their house, Niko will become sober again after about 10 seconds.
If the player gets into a vehicle while drunk, Niko will remark that doing so is not a good idea (only Niko Bellic will say this, because when Johnny Klebitz gets on his bike, a short cutscene will follow, showing his friends saying they had a good time and driving off, and then Johnny's intoxication will wear off soon). Driving while drunk also becomes difficult because Niko will not be able to see clearly and control the vehicle properly. When driving under the influence, the car moves towards the nearest solid object; if there is a car 5 feet in front of you and a tree three feet from you you will hit the tree and then ricochet into the car. If Niko is driving while intoxicated and the police see him he will get a one star wanted level. The effects get less severe as the intoxication wears off.
Alternatively, the player can opt to take a taxi ride while drunk. The player character will confusingly call for a taxi using lines (such as "yellow car") unique to only the moment the player is drunk.
Drinking can be done at any of these bars accessible by the protagonist and their friends:
- Comrades Bar, Broker.
- Steinway Beer Garden, Dukes.
- Club Liberty, Algonquin.
- Lucky Winkles, Algonquin.
- Jerkov's Bar, Algonquin.
The Ballad of Gay Tony
Uniquely, in the Ballad of Gay Tony, Luis has the option to drink alone, and for free at either Hercules or Maisonette 9 at the bar. As he drinks successive shots, Luis will become increasingly drunk until he finally collapses in a heap and blacks out. This effect also occurs when Luis does the drinking contest in Maisonette 9 where he blacks out after continuously repeating the contest. This leads to Luis randomly waking up somewhere around Liberty City, often in places that are either hard to get to or simply odd. Some locations include:
- Inside the Statue of Happiness.
- In mid-air, falling with a parachute from a great height.
- On top of the skip in the middle of Star Junction.
- In the small island in Middle Park.
- In a dumpster.
- Floating in a fountain.
Grand Theft Auto V
Drinking in GTA V has been expanded. The player is able to either go drinking with a friend or drink alone in his safehouse. You can also drink at the Vanilla Unicorn, and you will start to get so drunk that the woman behind the bar will refuse to serve you any more shots. Another unique feature is that occasionally when switching to Trevor, he will wake up intoxicated and sometimes wearing a dress. This may be a parody of the movie Hangover.
- In GTA IV, an animation for the player getting into a vehicle while drunk is unusually absent - if the player is entering a vehicle, instead of stumbling around, he will instantly become "sober" for a few seconds while the normal car entering sequence plays. The camera, however, still moves irregularly.
- If the player opts to fly a helicopter after getting drunk in GTA IV, they will not suffer any of the adverse effects of being drunk while driving.
- Niko will often shout "YELLOW CAAAR!" when hailing a taxi while drunk, which achieved a brief memetic status on the Internet.
- Michelle is the only character in GTA IV that will not emerge from any bar drunk. Niko will comment on this by saying things such as "I'm sure I was the only one knocking back that stuff." This is one of the many subtle hints that foreshadows a later secret in the game concerning Michelle.
- There is a small glitch that will 'injured' your friend after drinking. It is caused if your friend happens to fall on the small staircase leading into an accessible bar.
- In The Ballad of Gay Tony, Luis will always black out after ten shots and becomes drunk after three shots.
- Roman Bellic is seen coming out of Perestroika, drunk in a GTA IV pre-release trailer.
- In GTA V, the affect of being drunk doesn't last nearly as long as it did in GTA IV. This was probably done to prevent further contraversy than there already was from other things in the game.

Turning Off Your ICD
Topic Overview
How does your ICD help you?
Your ICD can save your life.
Your ICD (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) is always checking your heart rate and rhythm. If the ICD detects a life-threatening rapid heart rhythm, it tries to slow the rhythm to get it back to normal. If the dangerous rhythm doesn't stop, the ICD sends an electrical shock to the heart to restore a normal rhythm.
Your ICD may also work as a pacemaker. It can fix a heart rate that is too fast or too slow. It may do so without using a shock.
Should you consider turning off your ICD?
Even though an ICD can help fix heart rate or rhythm problems, you may not want this at the end of life. Many people consider turning off their ICD when their health goal changes from living longer to getting the most comfort possible at the end of life. The shocks the ICD delivers are painful. Not being shocked will make you more comfortable at the end of life.
As you plan for your future and your end of life, include plans for your ICD. The decision to turn off your ICD is part of the medical treatment you want at the end of life. You can put this information in your advanced directive.
Turning off your ICD is legal. It isn't considered suicide. The decision to leave on or turn off your ICD is a medical decision you make based on your values.
What happens if the ICD is turned off?
Turning off an ICD isn't hard. The ICD isn't taken out of your chest, and you don't need surgery. Your doctor will use a computer to reprogram the ICD so that it doesn't give you shocks. This isn't painful.
Turning off the ICD won't cause death, and it won't make you feel worse. But because the ICD won't give you a shock if you have a life-threatening heart rhythm, this type of heart rhythm could lead to death.
Some ICDs are combined with a pacemaker. You can turn off the ICD without turning off the pacemaker. Turning off a pacemaker means your heart might not pump blood as well as it should. This could make you feel worse instead of more comfortable.
Depending on your heart condition, turning off a pacemaker could result in death.
Who makes the decision?
You make the decision about whether or not you want to turn off your ICD. It can be a tough decision to make, but you don't have to make it alone. Look to your family, your doctor, your spiritual adviser, and your friends for help and support.
Things to think about
- Your future and quality of life. What can you expect as your health problems get worse? What type of health care do you want at the end of life? Do you want to be shocked by your ICD without it helping you live much longer?
- Your health. Is a heart problem your only health problem?
- Timing. When do you want to turn off the ICD? Some people wait the until end of life is close, but others want it turned off well before this.
- Personal issues. Do you have any personal goals you would like to meet? Do you need to say any final goodbyes? You may want to keep your ICD on until you can achieve them.
- Your care and comfort. If you turn off your ICD, you will still receive your usual care. You'll still be treated for other health problems and have doctor visits as necessary. If it is toward the end of life, you can still get care, called hospice care, that focuses on pain relief, comfort, and the quality of your life.
- An advanced directive. Do you want to put your instructions in an advanced directive? Do you want this decision to be made earlier or later? Do you want to be sure your wishes are followed?
- It's your decision. You can change your mind at any time.

Doolittle to judge: Ex-aide Ring should get no prison time in corruption case
By: Gus Thomson, Journal Staff Writer
Prosecutors say Doolittle comments 'egregious' after no-show as defense witness during trial
Ex-Rep. John Doolittle is challenging the U.S. Department of Justice's successful prosecution on corruption charges of a former top aide, Kevin Ring. But prosecutors are questioning why Doolittle didn't testify for his friend and former Washington staffer during the trial that convicted Ring on bribery and corruption charges. Ring, who went on to work for lobbyist Jack Abramoff, is being sentenced Oct. 26 on bribery and corruption counts after being convicted earlier this year in a Washington, D.C. jury trial. In a letter to Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle, Doolittle said that Ring left his office and a job as legislative director in 1997 to work for the Senate but they remained close. "I now want to state to you unequivocally that at no time was I ever corrupted by Kevin Ring in any of his dealings with me nor did I feel that Kevin ever attempted to corruptly influence me or members of my staff," Doolittle said. In a memorandum accompanying their sentencing recommendations, Justice Department prosecutors said that Ring's choice to submit a letter from Doolittle "is particularly egregious." "Ring could have chosen to have Doolittle appear (in) court and subject himself to cross-examination at trial," the Justice Department document states. "Instead Ring selectively quotes the self-serving statements of the recipient of Ring's bribes." Doolittle was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in one of the honest services fraud counts Ring was convicted of. He stepped down as congressman in 2008, representing a sprawling Northern California district that included much of Placer County. "Doolittle's denials of corruption in his relationship with Ring would ring hollow during cross-examination when it would be made clear that the 'low-show' job that Julie Doolittle received from Abramoff and Ring was not the only 'low-show' job that those seeking official acts from Congressman Doolittle created for his wife," prosecutors stated. Doolittle's letter describes Ring as a hard worker and a staff member he developed a "warm personal relationship with" based on very similar political outlooks. "As time progressed, I was thrilled to watch Kevin marry and start a family of his own and embark on a new career as a lobbyist," Doolittle wrote, in a pre-sentence document filed with the court and obtained by the Journal. Doolittle said he was grateful that Ring remained committed after his departure for the aide's job to helping him "whether it was providing political advice, raising campaign funds or lobbying other offices on my behalf when I ran for a leadership position." "Kevin was an excellent lobbyist" but "little did we know that, years later, our relationship would be deemed corrupt by prosecutors," Doolittle said. "After years of threats and intimidation tactics, Kevin was formally accused of trying to bribe the members of my staff by occasionally taking them to lunch or providing tickets to local events." Neither Doolittle nor Ring testified at a U.S. District Court trial this year that ended with Ring being found guilty of conspiracy, payment of an illegal gratuity and three counts of honest services fraud. Prosecutors are seeking a 50-month prison term with no fine and three years of supervised release. Doolittle said Ring is now $2 million in debt, his former aide is separated from his wife, and he will be separated from two young daughters who primarily live with him if he is imprisoned. ----------------------------------------------- Doolittle calls for no prison for Ring Ex-Rep. John Doolittle recommends to Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle that Kevin Ring serve no prison time because "it would only compound the massive injustice that these prosecutors and their helpers within the FBI have already inflicted upon him." Doolittle, who served as District 4 Republican congressman for 18 years, repeated what Ring had stated in his own pre-sentence letter to the judge – that he was being asked to lie by prosecutors. "They told him that the only way to guarantee his personal liberty and avoid the astronomical financial and emotional cost of a trial was to implicate his former boss – me," Doolittle said. In pushing for a 50-month sentence, prosecutors argue that a below-the-guidelines sentence would provide no cautionary tale for future deterrence to anyone considering engaging in criminal conduct similar to Ring's. "It may have the exact opposite impact and demonstrate that, there is no 'cautionary tale' and that those who push the outer edges of the law will never be punished if they cross the line into illegality," prosecutors state. Doolittle said prosecutors also were threatening to charge his wife, Julie Doolittle, with crimes if the congressman didn't plead guilty. "Since neither she nor I had committed a crime, we would have had to lie in order to give them what they wanted," Doolittle said. Now a lobbyist in Washington, Doolittle said investigators interviewed dozens of people who worked in his congressional office over the years, as well as his wife's business clients, their neighbors, and acquaintances. "In the end I was pleased but not at all surprised that none of my former staffers were charged or prosecuted for the activities they undertook while working for me," Doolittle said. Prosecutors say Doolittle was part of a "corrupt bargain for early success and money" made by Ring. "Team Abramoff and its Chief Operating Officer Kevin Ring sought to corrupt numerous public officials with expensive meals, exotic trips, tickets to exclusive concerts and sporting events and a low-show job for a congressman's wife," they state. Doolittle said that prosecutors repeatedly defamed his wife and himself "with the added insult of being named … unindicted co-conspirators." Doolittle said he has never been had an opportunity until writing the judge to express his views to a government official. For Doolittle, he believes his own Justice Department interaction is over. "In June 2010, the Department of Justice notified my attorney, in response to his direct inquiry, that the case had been declined and was considered officially closed," he stated. The Journal will report on more development leading up to Ring's sentencing.

Metal utensils won't damage the release performance of the durable, triple-layer nonstick interior, and the specially textured surface excels for searing foods—two key features that set this collection apart from other nonstick cookware. Made in the USA and exclusively ours, Elite cookware is also PFOA-free and dishwasher safe. To simplify healthy cooking, our special set pairs a 5-qt.-capacity Dutch oven with an dual-function insert. The reversible stainless-steel insert works as a steamer on one side and a poacher on the other. You can also use the Dutch oven on its own.
