At long last the doctors' strike and patients' ordeal ended last week in yet another dramatic style following unexpected talks between the Medical Association of Tanzania (MAT) and President Jakaya Kikwete at State House.
This was not the first time President Kikwete had succeeded in solving a seemingly ominous crisis simply by arranging a meeting at the state house and holding serious talks over a glass of juice.
Towards the end of last year after signing the much contested constitutional review bill Kikwete agreed and arranged to meet with leaders of the main opposition parties to deliberate on contentious provisions.
Tanzanians were not immediately told the details of the state house deliberations but surely the following day they were treated to front page photographs of President Kikwete serving his guests a glass of juice. And it is always this kind of culture - albeit a gesture - that remains rare in most of Africa.
It is not surprising that in Africa former presidents tend to catch hell each time an opposition politician they previously mistreated gets elected to state house. There are few examples such as Kenya where the professor of politics Daniel Arap Moi has had it easy in retirement despite the fact that his victims of incarceration, including Prime Minister Raila Odinga, are now in power.
Indeed, as it has been argued, partly - though most significantly - it is the fear of retribution from their victims that forces most sadistic and thieving leaders to hang on to power forever.
Yet it seems to me that while the attention of most analysts has tended to focus on individuals who overstay in power little notice is paid to political parties that wish to hang on forever by hooks or crooks. Although it appears obvious that the objective of any political party worth the title would be to get resounding mandate through the ballot in order to implement its policies for development of the nation the reality is different.
Almost every political party on the continent - old and new - wants to capture state power in order to entrench its hegemony. It seems also that for many political parties - especially those that have overstayed - being in power becomes the end in itself first and foremost as well as the means to state coffers.
State coffers are a necessary source of monies - accumulated formally and through primitive means – that a party needs to be able to buy the next election. Winning - by any means necessary - becomes the only driving philosophy and any opposition to such objective invites murderous response.
In fact there is a growing concern among those following Tanzania's democracy closely that whereas peaceful elections have seen three presidents, all from the ruling party CCM, retire peacefully the opposition parties continue to be treated as the enemy of the state.
Participants to these debates for example do not understand why a retired president should participate in partisan political campaigns and castigate those in the opposition as unpatriotic. Indeed, many voices that currently participate in discussions in the various platforms think that it is now time to define clearly the role of our retired presidents in the development and well being of this country.
"Are they CCM stalwarts first and former presidents second"? Voices ask. For example, there are many voices whose considered opinion is that it was unnecessary for CCM to drag former President Benjamin Mkapa into the Arumeru constituency by-election.
In fact they see the brawl ignited by an exchange between former President Mkapa and Musoma Rural MP Vicent Nyerere during campaigns as the result of the ruling party wanting to hold on to every ounce of power by any means necessary.
The debate on the Mkapa vs Nyerere brawl is now calling for a clear definition of what roles the former presidents should play in their retirement.
The main argument put forward is that once anyone is elected as president of the United Republic they become leaders of all Tanzanians regardless of citizens' party affiliations. Again, another argument goes that former heads of state enjoy a hefty pension package which comes from all Tanzanian taxpayers regardless of their party affiliation.
In fact, there is also another argument that in such fragile societies like our own there is a need for such retired statesmen to remain neutral so they may be trusted and called to settle any divisive national disputes.
It surprises many in the debate that although Tanzanian leaders – both retired and the incumbent - have been entrusted with many mediatory roles in various conflicts because of the reputation Tanzania has of being peaceful, back home they are probably losing that clout.
Many in the debate therefore expect a retired president whose speech at the launch of a campaign would sound as follows: "Fellow Tanzanians I have been invited to come and launch this campaign. I know, as you all know, that Tanzania is a multiparty democracy – a young one at that. I also happen to belong to one of the parties participating in this by-election.
However, I appeal to you all to listen to the views of every candidate and at the end make your own judgment depending on which candidate meets your expectations. Avoid those who bribe voters. Respect the views of all candidates. Avoid physical confrontation.
I wish you peaceful campaigns as well as Election Day. God bless Africa, God bless Tanzania."
In my memory the retired president who made a speech that sounded a lot more like the one above was Alhaji Ali Hassan Mwinyi. You can guess who didn't like it.

If you are in Bucharest - how are Herastrau & Cismigiu parks? They are normally pretty nice. I used to love walking there. That was 20+ years ago and remember seeing older ladies with their little toy dogs. I went to college there ASE.
Snow will leave the kibble as it does not have as much value as the pig leg or bone. You just have to work your way up gradually to higher value treats. Also when you feed Snow, make him sit and give him the "asteapta" comand, Snow is not to start eating until you release him with "Bine". No matter how hungry he is or delicious the food, he should know that he cannot start eating until you release him.
Cheese will help. Whenever Rose had softer stools I started giving her a half a banana. Now she eats almost an entire banana every morning half before breakfast and half after her morning walk. Also sometimes the softer stool are due to too much food intake or too much at one time. How much kibble does he eat a day? Does he eat three meals a day? We kept Rose on three meals a day until she she was 6 months old, worked up slowly from when she was 5 months to two meals by gradually reducing the middle meal and increasing the breakfast and dinner meal.

In Herastrau is fine with dogs, because there is a lot of space. Cismigiu being smaller it is crawdy most of the times. However we have to go to the park by car and he seems to have a sensibility (vomiting often). We are trying to minimize this since we are going about once at three days at training lessons. Previous times he didn't vomit anymore and I hope he will get used with car rides
We are doing that(sit,wait, "liber") for about 2 weeks and works fine. The "issue" now is that he is barking at my wife when she is preparing food ). That's not happening so far with me :P. Also he doesn't have any aggresion regarding the food bowl. We used to put our hands since the beggining.
Nice to hear that he can eat bananas, I wasn't sure about that. He eat three meals / day, on average 2 kibble (kibble hope it is bowl :P) because he doesn't finish it all the times.
Today he is 4 months and he has 16KG - 35 lbs.
Hand feed him while keeping the bowl in your hand. Start with all meals and then drop to two meals and then one. I would still hand feed him the treats as well. That way he will associate you and your wife with the food source. He is probably barking in anticipation of food. Rose is barking and growling at me when she wants to play and I ignore her. She used to run under the bed and bark from there to let us know she wanted to play hide and seek. Now she is almost too big to get her behind under there.
As far as the car rides. First, I would make sure you wait a couple hours after the feeding time before you take him. Second, allow him to see out the window, on someone's lap for example. I would keep the window closed or semi-opened enough that he can smell outside.
We use bananas, cut up apples, carrots as treats!.They can't have grapes, garlic or onions - there is a list of veggies and fruits online. Dangerous Foods That Dogs Should Never Eat - WebMD Slideshow
Sorry - I do not follow the list literally. I do give Rose licks of icecream not a whole cone but a couple licks - she gets her own cup of icecream and it gets put in the freezer after a couple licks. And yes, I do give her little bits of pizza crust when we have pizza or meat bits from the table. Some of this stuff just goes a little over the top but it is a very good indication of what they can and cannot have.
Happy Birthday Snow! Up until 12 months he has a birthday every month!

Firstly hello to you, your wife & young Snow. And a Happy New Year from New Zealand ...New Years Day over here. Snow is a very handsome boy. I have not watched the first video, but have watched the video where you are training him outside, & I think for four months old he is doing very well with the Leave It & Stay commands. He looks to be a smart boy & appears to train well. Re the barking at your wife when she is preparing his food, that is excitement & anticipation. My own young boy Loki sometimes does this ...used to always do it, but now at five & a half months old, not all the time. It has never worried me, I just ignore it & he will stop after a while. Re picking up everything in his mouth, Loki drove us crazy doing that .....stones were a particular favourite of his ....grass, dirt ( he would eat lots of dirt ). Thankfully he did not eat poop. I found out this is very common in puppies & my vet told me not to worry about it, but not to let him chew on stones, as could cause a bowel blockage which would require surgery. So we were constantly removing stones from his mouth ....every minute it seemed. On walks with him, I kept a close eye on the ground & either steered him away from things I do not want him eating, or said very firmly Leave It with a small tug on his lead. This usually worked very well for us & now he is much better. We had an issue with him chewing on his lead, making it very hard to walk him at around four months old. A member on here suggested to someone else with the same problem, to use a chain lead attached to his normal collar ( not a choke lead ..I would never use one of those). So we went out & bought a chain lead, clipped it onto his collar or harness, & that stopped the problem immediately as he did not like the feel of the chain in his mouth. When he has something in his mouth that we do not want him to have, we offer a high value treat ...not kibble ....something like a small piece of cheese or plain cooked sausage that he does not get often. He is then happy to drop what is in his mouth, in order to eat the tasty treat. Loki will normally give up items of clothing quite easily ...socks are his favourite, if he can find them. I will just take hold of the item & in a firm voice say Leave It & he will usually let it go, & then I give him lots of praise for being a good boy. I have never used the Alpha Roll, as I don't believe it is a good thing to do with a puppy. I used clicker trainer from eight weeks old ....my husband does not like using the clicker, so he says Yes! When Loki achieves, followed quickly by a treat. Our trainer says it is just as important to give brain exercise (mental stimulation) as it is to give physical exercise ....so e times even more important. So we use Kongs stuffed with kibble & a small amount of high value treats .....ice cubes made of chicken, beef & vegetable stock that he has to chase all over our polished floorboards in the kitchen ...he loves doing that & looks so pleased with himself when he manages to get it I to his mouth& crunches on it, which is great for sore gums as his adult teeth come in. Re the mouthing/ biting thing .....Loki used to do this when he was smaller & I was very firm with him, telling him No Bite! & offering him a chew stick or toy to chew on instead, holding it for him ...I never played tug with him, as our trainer said this can encourage aggression in some puppies. I hardly ever got nipped, but my husband was not so firm with him & he ended up bleeding on his hands & arms several times, from Loki's teeth or claws. My husband said Loki was an aggressive dog & I don't think he liked him very much. I encouraged my husband to watch for signs that Loki was getting too excited & about to start mouthing on him ....for example when he was rubbing Loki's fur, to stop the moment he saw Loki's mouth opening near his hand or arm, & to pull his hand slowly away & end the play session. Also I encouraged him to start feeding Loki some favourite bits of food by his hand & to engage in giving commands more. Loki would be well behaved with me, but naughty with my husband. After he started doing these things, him & Loki became much better friends, & now the two of them get on very well & my husband loves him. I often just use hand signals with Loki, so I guess if your trainer thinks your voice is too firm, this is why he is saying not to speak to Snow? Loki is a wonderful puppy now, & I am sure Snow will overcome his issues with correct training, lots of praise & lots of love ....low stimulus too, as some golden puppies can get highly excitable & are then hard to control. We do Timeout for a few mins in his exercise pen when this happens to Loki, to allow him a quiet place to calm down. I think you are doing well with Snow. He is still just a baby.

THanks Claudia for all usefull staff. La multi ani si-un an nou fericit!
Dwyllis, thanks for your advices also. Yes, the firm voice is the reason he suggested at the begging to use more body language and leach actions, rather then our voice. Actually at the beginning the training was more for us than the puppy )
The commands sit, stay, down were learned by us at 3 months. At training class we are improving them to start working better and better in a distractive environment + behavioural things.
I`m back again asking for some help.
The training goes well but unfortunately Snow is having some serious health issues caused by eating things "gastroenteritis". Even if we pay a lot of attention he is doing some tricks and he is always getting something in his mouth.
I`m thinking to use Halti or Gentle leader in order to prevent this actions at least for the moment. Which one do you recommand?
He is now 5 month old and unfortunately lost 1.5 Kg ( 18 kg now ).
Max walks very well with the Gentle Leader.

Aw Snow... poor boy... the Gentle leader will help, if you have someone who is familiar with them help you get it fitted correctly that will help. It has to be fairly snug to fit properly and so he can't rub it off (chances are he will not like it). Be sure to always give treats when putting it on him to help with the process of getting him used to it. I sure hope he feels better

Heavy Toll
this wiki
- "These aren't troubling times for us. People are always gonna want what we got to sell. Hell, they gonna want even more product when they lose their jobs and ain't got nothing else!"
- ―Elizabeta Torres.
Heavy Toll is a mission in The Lost and Damned. It is given by Elizabeta Torres to Johnny Klebitz.
In this mission, Elizabeta Torres wants you to obtain a truck full of cocaine (later seen in The Snow Storm). Johnny Klebitz, Malc, DeSean, an unnamed member of The Uptown Riders and Terry Thorpe and Clay Simons (if you called them for assistance) take control of a toll booth and wait until the gang approaches the toll. After a while a group of bikers come in three Regina's, a Slamvan and two bikes; you must take them out and steal the Slamvan. All the vehicles contain eighteen Angels Of Death members. After killing all of them, steal the van with Malc and take it to a garage, for Elizabeta's bodyguard, Andreas to pick up later.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to the toll booths and wait for the convoy
- Wait for the van to pull up
- Take the van
- Pick up Malc
- Lose the cops
- Take the van to the lockup
Video Walkthrough
- The unnamed Uptown Riders member can be killed and the mission will not fail.
- If Malc or DeSean are killed, the mission will fail.
- The Presidente can be destroyed and the mission will still continue.
- Malc and DeSean can be abandoned while going to the toll booths and the mission will still continue.
- This the only mission where you can find and obtain a Regina.
- After completing the mission, Johnny's Hexer will be standing in front of you, but if you look to your right, a Hakuchou Custom can be found there, as the easiest opportunity to obtain one.
- The concept of an ambush at a toll booth is likely a reference to The Godfather, as there is a scene in which a large gunfight ensues at a toll booth, although it is to kill a member of the Corleone family, as opposed to stealing a truck of cocaine.
- This is the first mission in TLAD that gives progress for Elizabeta's missions in the stats, since her last mission Buyer's Market gave progress for Billy's missions instead.
- If you've already completed 40 Gang Wars, the Assault Shotgun will spawn in your safehouse after completing this mission.
- Once the Slamvan is turned in it will no longer be enterable. Johnny may attempt to enter the vehicle. Even with the glass broken it is still not enterable
- It's worth noting that, despite the fact that the Slamvan is one of the Lost MC's gang vehicles, the Slamvan is used by the Angels instead of the Gang Burrito. The reason for this is unknown, but it could be an oversight by the developers, or it could be the fact that the Slamvan is far more inconspicuous than the Gang Burrito.

IF YOU DEVELOP AN MMO THAT PEOPLE SPEND THEIR TIME AND MONEY ON THEN DON'T SHUT IT DOWN!!! There's an emotional attachment to the game and your character. It's like taking away a child's pet and saying "that's too expensive to care for so we're killing it".

Hōki (Watari)
this wiki
|This is the article on Watari's Hōki. If you are looking for the article on another character named Hōki, head to Hōki.
|ホウキ Hōki
|Naruto Episode #162
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Hōki (ホウキ, Hōki) is the missing-nin and leader of the Watari Ninja. He masqueraded as Mōsō (孟宗) in the Land of Birds. In disguise, he served as Chief Advisor to the daimyō, Ōwashi.
When Mōsō was Chief Advisor, he secretly poisoned Ōwashi, which resulted in his death. Sagi, who was really Toki, took on the guise of the Cursed Warrior in hopes of avenging her father.
Many of his techniques are weaker copies of the actual versions (his "summoning technique" activating a projector is just one example, or using strings to make it appear that his enemies have been caught in a Shadow Imitation Technique). His strategy seems to mainly involve deception, which allows him to overcome foes who are stronger than him. Hōki even copied Sasuke Uchiha's Fire Release technique which he used to knock off the Cursed Warrior's mask and even used Water Release techniques in his fight with Naruto. He is, however, talented with genjutsu, as shown in a flashback where he won the trust of the daimyō by appearing to swallow a sword.
Part I
Land of Birds Arc
When this threat appeared, Mōsō sent Chishima to Konoha to ask for help, in response to which Tsunade dispatched Naruto Uzumaki, Neji Hyūga and Tenten to the Land of Birds. When Chishima overheard Mōsō's true plot, he fled and barely escaped Nagare, Hokushin, and the other Wandering Ninja whom Mōsō had dispatched.
When it came to the final conflict, Mōsō trapped her in an imitation technique (discovering Toki's duo identity in the process) at the same moment Naruto, Neji Hyūga, Tenten, and Kakashi Hatake arrived. Mōsō eventually made off with Toki, leaving the Leaf ninja problem to Hokushin and the other Wandering Ninjas. Despite this, Naruto tricked him into revealing his true self when he used water clones to disguise his position. During the attack, Chishima was wounded by Hōki. Naruto defeated him with Naruto Uzumaki Combo. Hōki was handed over to Toki, and Naruto requested that he be forced to repent for what he had done.

As far as what to include on the map, that's up to you. It all depends on what you're looking for, and the purpose of your map. Most map-makers will tell you that real world geography is important to take into consideration. Unless your world is "fantastical" in nature, and defies logic. Keep in mind the natural flow of rivers, as this is very important. River placement can be a hard lesson for first time mappers, so search the forum for tutorials.
Good luck, and have fun!

Basis for Evaluation of Internal Revenue Service Employees
Pub. L. 105–206, title I, § 1204,July 22, 1998, 112 Stat. 722, provided that:
"(a) In General.—The Internal Revenue Service shall not use records of tax enforcement results—
"(1) to evaluate employees; or
"(2) to impose or suggest production quotas or goals with respect to such employees.
"(b) Taxpayer Service.—The Internal Revenue Service shall use the fair and equitable treatment of taxpayers by employees as one of the standards for evaluating employee performance.
"(c) Certification.—Each appropriate supervisor shall certify quarterly by letter to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue whether or not tax enforcement results are being used in a manner prohibited by subsection (a).
"(d) Technical and Conforming Amendment.—[Repealed section 6231 ofPub. L. 100–647, set out below.]
"(e) Effective Date.—This section shall apply to evaluations conducted on or after the date of the enactment of this Act [July 22, 1998]."
Pub. L. 100–647, title VI, § 6231,Nov. 10, 1988, 102 Stat. 3734, prohibited Internal Revenue Service use of records of tax enforcement results to evaluate employees or to impose or suggest production quotas or goals, and required quarterly certification that results had not been used in prohibited manner, prior to repeal by Pub.

Sense of Congress as to Increased Internal Revenue Service Funding for Taxpayer Assistance and Enforcement
Pub. L. 100–203, title X, § 10622,Dec. 22, 1987, 101 Stat. 1330–452, provided that:
"(a) Findings.—The Congress hereby finds that—
"(1) the Internal Revenue Service estimates that the amount of taxes owed for 1986 will exceed the amount of taxes collected for such year by $100 billion;
"(2) the current taxpayer compliance rate stands at 81.5 percent;
"(3) the tax gap can be significantly reduced by enhancing taxpayer assistance services and enforcement; and
"(4) the Appropriations Committee of the House of Representatives, in its fiscal year 1988 Internal Revenue Service appropriation, took a step in the direction of providing additional funding for taxpayer assistance and enforcement efforts.
"(b) It is the sense of the Congress that:
"(1) The Congress increase outlays for the Internal Revenue Service in fiscal year 1989 and fiscal year 1990 in the areas of taxpayer assistance and enforcement by $.7 billion in fiscal year 1989 for a revenue total of $3.2 billion and by $.8 billion in fiscal year 1990 for a revenue total of $4.4 billion. The net revenue increase would be $2.5 billion in fiscal year 1989 and $3.6 billion in fiscal year 1990, or a net revenue increase over the House Appropriations Committee recommendations of $.4 billion in fiscal year 1989 and $1.3 billion in fiscal year 1990.
"(2) The Internal Revenue Service offer improved taxpayer assistance and enforcement efforts by using the aforementioned outlays in areas recommended by, or consistent with the recommendations of, the 'Dorgan Task Force Report'. Taxpayer assistance efforts would include providing expanded taxpayer education programs, instituting pilot programs of taxmobiles in rural areas, and upgrading the quality of telephone assistance. Taxpayer enforcement efforts would include raising the audit rate from 1.1 percent toward 2.5 percent, restoring resources to criminal investigations, and the collection of delinquent accounts.
"(3) The Congress should undertake an experimental multiyear authorization and 2-year appropriation for the Internal Revenue Service consistent with the recommendations in Public Law 100–119, section 201 (Increasing the Statutory Limit on the Public Debt) [2 U.S.C. 621 note].
"(4) Increased funding should be provided for compilation and analysis of statistics of income and research.The Internal Revenue Service must issue a report on the extent of the tax gap and the measures that could be undertaken to decrease the tax gap. The report must utilize more current data than has been utilized recently. The report must be issued by April 15, 1989. The Internal Revenue Service must also report annually on the improvements being made in the audit rate, taxpayer assistance, and enforcement efforts."

"(4) to provide for the use of services, personnel, and facilities of Federal executive agencies and of State and local public agencies with their consent, with or without reimbursement therefor; and
"(5) to prescribe such rules and regulations as he deems necessary to carry out the provisions of this section.
"(c) Employment of Volunteers.—
"(1) In general.—Service as a volunteer in any program carried out under this section shall not be considered service as an employee of the United States. Volunteers under such a program shall not be considered Federal employees and shall not be subject to the provisions of law relating to Federal employment, except that the provisions of section 1905 of title 18, United States Code, shall apply to volunteers as if they were employees of the United States.
"(2) Expenses.—Amounts received by volunteers serving in any program carried out under this section as reimbursement for expenses are exempt from taxation under chapters 1 and 21 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 [formerly I.R.C. 1954].

Comments On May 12, 2013:Great little pack. I have it strapped to the front fender of my '13 300XC. I was able to get a small 1/4" drive metric socket set, 3 spark plugs, a feeler gauge, a Leatherman tool, a #2 Philips screwdriver and 1/8" flat-head screwdriver with plenty of room to spare. The bag is advertised as having some layer of waterproofing. I have all my tools in a heavy freezer bag inside this bag and went out this weekend in some hairy mud. The bag definitely got mudded on the outside but inside it's spotless without a hint of water penetration.

There was no doubt that the Brandon University Bobcats were overmatched at the Healthy Living Centre on Friday night.
After all, the Bobcats haven't won a Canada West women's basketball game in more than two years and the visiting Fraser Valley Cascades (9-0) came in ranked second in the country. That doesn't mean there aren't lessons the Bobcats (0-9) can take from their 74-35 loss to the Cascades.

Autopsy results revealed that the deceased mayor of Florence, whose body was found Friday, had a bad heart.
An officer with the Florence Police Department tells 11 News that the cause of death will not be officially confirmed until the toxicology results. Those are not expected for several more weeks. Police do not suspect foul play at this time.
The body of Mayor Charles Giebler, 52, was found in his home Friday.
The Florence City Council said in a written statement that Giebler's easygoing demeanor, witty sense of humor and honest nature will be sorely missed.
An online biography on the city's website says Giebler was born in Erie, Pa., in 1960. He owned three businesses in Florence with a stepbrother.
His survivors include a son and daughter.
Councilwoman Svetlana Piltingsrud says she was shocked to hear about Geibler's death.
Councilwoman Nichole Prickett released this statement:
"Florence City Council would like to express with deep regret and sorrow, the loss of our dear friend and Mayor, Charles Geibler. His easy going demeanor, witty sense of humor and honest nature will be sorely missed. He was a true citizen of Florence, who always put his community first. We are grateful for the opportunity to spend time and to know him. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as we come to terms with this great loss. May he rest in peace."

Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering
Civil & Environmental Engineering
Welcome to the home page of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rowan University! Our students learn how to solve human problems. We have top-notch faculty, up-to-date facilities, and an excellent curriculum. We invite you to explore and learn more about us. We offer an undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering with structures or environmental emphasis. We also offer masters degrees with specialization in civil or environmental engineering. Explore our program here! Here's our latest newsletter (Fall 12). To see past newsletters, scroll to the bottom of the page.
What is Civil and Environmental Engineering?
Civil Engineering is one of the oldest engineering disciplines. For hundreds of years, Civil Engineers have designed and supervised the construction of roads, canals, railroads, buildings, and developments. As population increase created water supply and sanitary problems, Civil Engineers took on the tasks of supplying water and treating wastewater. In the twentieth century humankind discovered that improper waste disposal was threatening our quality of life. Civil Engineers took on the task of cleaning up contaminated sites. Now, sustainability is an important concern. Once again, Civil Engineers are adding to their portfolio of skills, e.g., designing energy efficient buildings, and wind and solar farms.
Modern Civil & Environmental Engineering can be divided into 5 areas:
- Structural - Buildings, bridges, dams and other structures.
- Environmental - Minimizing negative environmental impacts.
- Geotechnical - Soil properties, foundations, footings and soil dynamics.
- Water Resources - Supply and flow of water in the natural and built environment
- Transportation - Safe, economical and environmentally friendly transportation systems.
Here's a nice YouTube video on Civil Engineering from the Institute of Civil Engineering. The Video is UK-centric but give a good description of Civil Engineering word-wide.
CEE Objectives
The Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering (CEE) strives to give civil engineering students the ability to understand and apply the core science, mathematics, and engineering principles that form the basis of civil engineering. Students work individually and in multidisciplinary teams to identify and solve engineering problems using their accumulated knowledge and experience along with advanced technology such as computers and laboratory equipment. We enforce the importance of ethics and professionalism, and the importance of global and societal issues in engineering practice. CEE strives to give students the ability to communicate effectively in preparation for both engineering practice and for graduate studies. We prepare students for professional careers and graduate school by providing a broad based civil engineering education. Students are exposed to a range of hands-on, standards-based, civil engineering laboratory experiences. Finally, we aim to give civil engineering students both individual and team-based design experiences taught by a diverse civil engineering faculty with professional engineering licenses and/or with appropriate education and design experience.
The Program Educational Objectives are:
- Graduates have a broad base of knowledge, are aware of emerging trends in their field, and understand the interrelationships between sub-disciplines that affect engineering projects.
- Graduates are creative problem-solvers who consider technical, social, political, environmental and economic issues in developing realistic engineering solutions based on effective data collection and analysis.
- Graduates conduct their professional lives in a manner that reflects positively on themselves, their employer and their alma mater and recognize the ethical, global, and social responsibility of their profession.
- Graduates have the technical, communication and interpersonal skills to assume increasing responsibility and leadership roles within a diverse and multidisciplinary workplace.
The Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Rowan University is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

Kanye West lost it again on Friday returning to LAX but this time it got super physical. Kanye lunged at a guy and tried to take his camera. The man fell and was treated by paramedics. Kanye jumped into a waiting car and took off. He could be facing a felony charge of attempted robbery. This paparazzi is the same dude that got famously attacked with an umbrella by Britney Spears. His name is Dano, so you tell me if he's really deserving of pressing charges or if he's just a little too aggressive himself?
"Glee" creator Ryan Murphy says the show will return for three episodes on September 26th, a week late. The third episode will be a tribute to Cory Monteith, then the show will go on "extended hiatus." (The first two episodes are a long-planned Beatles tribute.) Ryan sat down with Lea Michelle and asked her what she wanted to do. He said he would understand if she didn't want to come back and she said leaving was not an option. He added that Lea has been pretty much calling all the shots as far as what's going to happen to the show.
For the second time, Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus have called off their divorce. A friend of the family says, "They went into the therapy with the goal of divorcing in a way that was healthy for the children, but ended up coming out of it with the realization that they in fact want to stay together."
Congratulations are in order for "Modern Family" star Jesse Tyler Ferguson who got married in New York City on Saturday. His new husband is a lawyer named Justin Mikita. Jesse's co-workers Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen and Eric Stonestreet were there, along with Zachary Quinto and Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn.

Bacterial Vaginosis During Pregnancy
Certain pregnancy problems are more common in women who have bacterial vaginosis than in women who do not. Bacterial vaginosis has been linked to miscarriage, preterm delivery (before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy), and pelvic infection after childbirth. Experts continue to research whether it is a direct or indirect cause.
Screening and treatment
If you are pregnant and have symptoms of a vaginal infection, it is important to be tested for bacterial vaginosis.
If you are pregnant and do not have symptoms of a vaginal infection, talk to your doctor about what is best for you. If you are at low risk for preterm delivery, experts recommend no routine testing. But if you are at high risk for preterm delivery, experts don't know for sure if routine testing is helpful or harmful.1
Over the past few years, experts have found conflicting evidence that antibiotics for bacterial vaginosis may prevent preterm labor. Some recent reviews of studies suggest that antibiotics for bacterial vaginosis do not prevent preterm birth. But antibiotics do lower the risk of preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM), a condition that leads to preterm birth and sometimes infection. In women who have had a preterm birth before, treating bacterial vaginosis with antibiotics may also lower the risk of having a baby with a low birth weight.2
Some doctors recommend that all pregnant women who have bacterial vaginosis be treated with oral—not vaginal—antibiotics.
- Studies show that oral antibiotics such as metronidazole and clindamycin are effective treatments that avoid increased risk to the fetus.3
- Use of clindamycin vaginal cream has been shown to have a slightly increased risk for preterm birth, so it is not recommended for use during pregnancy.4
- Tinidazole is not recommended for use during pregnancy.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
You can include another column in each part of the union query and use that to sort on:-
This will put the rows from the second select statement after the first one, within which they will be in order of col1.
Note that as you are sorting outside of the inner query the only reason for using union rather than union all is if you want to eliminate duplicates. The duplicates in this case must come from within either of the queries rather than being common to both, because the sortorder column makes them distinct between the two queries. So you probably will want to use union all.

Hocus pocus was one of three pretend spells that Harry Potter used to frighten away his Muggle cousin Dudley Dursley in 1992.
Hocus pocus is also a term that is sometimes used pejoratively by muggles to refer to magic, trying to cast wizards as mere magicians. In 1997, when worried that Harry Potter was planning to "get the house," Vernon Dursley stated "You want us out of the way and then you're going to do a bit of hocus pocus and before we know it the deeds will be in your name and –"
The phrase was featured in the title of the book Pokery & Hocus Pocus, written by Brian Gagwilde, and was also used for the title of a regular column in the Daily Prophet.
Hocus pocus, like abracadabra, is a magic word commonly used by magicians, typically when they perform an illusion.[1] In British English, hocus pocus is also a general term meaning "contrived nonsense," similar to rubbish, hogwash, or baloney.[1] The origins of the term are unknown, but John Tillotson, the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1691 to 1694, theorised that it might have arisen as a mockery of the Roman Catholic liturgy of the Mass, which features the Latin phrase Hoc est corpus meum ("This is my body").[1][2]

Bacon, Francis Thomas
Francis Thomas Bacon (1904-1992), British engineer who developed the first practical hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells. Building on the work of Sir William Grove, who discovered the principles behind the operation of fuel cells in 1839, Bacon made a number of breakthroughs. These included using potassium hydroxide (KOH) instead of acid electrolytes, or using porous "gas-diffusion electrodes" rather than solid electrodes and pressurized gases to keep the electrolyte from "flooding" the tiny pores of the electrodes. In 1932, these advances resulted in the first successful fuel cell devices. In 1959, a quarter of a century later, Bacon and his coworkers demonstrated a practical five-kilowatt system capable of powering a welding machine.

CLEVELAND -- Ariel Castro, 52, the man accused of kidnapping three women and holding them captive and sexually abusing them for a decade in his Cleveland house, was indicted late Friday afternoon.
The 142-page indictment is out.
A Cuyahoga County Grand Jury has returned a 329-count indictment against Ariel Castro, Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy J. McGinty confirmed.
The indictments cover only the period from August of 2002, when the first of the three women discovered in his Seymour Avenue house last month disappeared, until February of 2007.
Castro was indicted for two acts of aggravated murder -- for purposely and with prior calculation and design causing the unlawful termination of another's pregnancy, as covered by Sections 2903.01(A) and (B) of the Ohio Revised Code.
He was also indicted on 139 counts of rape, 177 counts of kidnapping, seven counts of gross sexual imposition, three counts of felonious assault and one count of possession of criminal tools. He will be arraigned on those charges next week and a trial judge will be assigned at that time.
Upon hearing news that indictments have been handed down against Ariel Castro, Jim Wooley, the attorney for Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus, and Kathy Joseph, the attorney for Michelle Knight, issued this statement:
"We have a great legal system plus confidence and faith in the prosecutor's office and its decisions. Now, we need to stand back and let the judicial process unfold."
It's been one month and a day since Amanda Berry, Berry's daughter, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight escaped from his Seymour Avenue home, saying that they had been kept there
According to the indictment, Knight had four pregnancies with Castro under the period of the indictment.
Knight was abducted on Aug. 22, 2002 and he physically restrained her in the upstairs part of the house, the indictment reads.
Later that day, he took her into the basement of the home and chained her to a pole. Castro first raped Knight the next day, according to the indictment.
She became pregnant the first time between September and December 2002.
Berry was abducted on April 21, 2003. He taped her legs and mouth. He also raped Berry that day after she attempted to escape, according to the indictment.
Castro then chained her to a pole in the basement and placed a motorcycle helmet on her head. The next day, he chained Berry to a heater in a bedroom for a time, according to the indictment.
On Aug. 21, 2003, Castro wrapped a vacuum cord around Berry's neck and assaulted her.
DeJesus was abducted on Apr 2, 2004. Castro feloniously assaulted her with a pillow that day and sexually assaulted her in an upstairs bathroom, according to the indictment.
Castro then deceived her into entering the basement where he physically restrained her with chains and tape.
Sometime between Aug. 2005 and Oct. 31, 2005, Castro took both Knight and Berry to his garage, where he chained them to the inside of a van for sexual purposes, according to the indictment. He then took them back into the house.
"Today's indictments represent a first major step in the criminal justice process," said McGinty.
"Our investigation continues, and we will present our findings to the grand jury.'"
When the indictment process is complete, the County Prosecutor's Capital Review Committee will consider whether this case is appropriate to attach a death penalty specification.
The protocol for making that evaluation was posted on the web site of this office on May 21, 2013.
He has been in the Cuyahoga County Jail since his arrest on May 6. He was charged on May 8.

Academy was closed for hours Thursday, from Pikes Peak to Fountain Boulevard, while police investigated the scene of a deadly crash.
Colorado Springs police tell 11 News two juveniles and a teenage adult in a stolen car ran the red light and crashed into several other cars. Police say they were not chasing the suspects at the time of the wreck. The suspects ran from the scene but were quickly caught by police.
While they were running away, police say one of the suspects dropped a gun, which was recovered by officers. That gun was linked to a burglary that happened last week. One of the three involved with the stolen car was arrested after that burglary.
Police say possible charges include vehicular homicide and motor vehicle theft.
The El Paso County Coroner says Orlando Medina-Cauich was killed in the crash. No other information about him is being released at this time.

Transition is a common theme right now in the Office of the Chief Information Officer (M/CIO). We have successfully transitioned to a new email system with a potential savings of $500K annually. We have transitioned from 11 data centers to 9, streamlining the oversight of our infrastructure. The approach to strategic planning will be in transition to accommodate a new annual planning tool from Bureau for Management (M), the Results Framework. Finally, M/CIO is transitioning to new leadership as our previous CIO has moved on to the Department of State. I am proud of what this office has accomplished during the past year, especially as budget restrictions forced us to "do more with less."
For FY2014, 12 more of the 76 Target Architecture Projects in the Enterprise Transition Roadmap are funded. These projects will improve our infrastructure and enterprise service delivery, helping us to achieve the results planned in this year's Results Framework. Specific plans this year include:
- Update IT procurement policies. Procurement at USAID is governed by the 300 series in the Automated Directives System (ADS), while IT procurement has a standalone policy in ADS 546. Integrating these policies is crucial to avoiding duplicative solutions or noncompliant products.
- Mature and expand access to mobile and cloud-based services. Our users are offered an increasing number of mobile or cloud-based services, but vendor options and governing regulations are increasing as well. Efforts to formalize decision support will assure that our IT Service Catalog provides options that can be efficiently and securely delivered to our mission users world-wide.
- Improve overall IT security. All information and infrastructure is subject to OMB and federal mandates for security. While we mature the security of mobile and cloudbased services, we will also mature the monitoring and response capabilities to protect sensitive information while supporting open data initiatives.
- Transform IT strategic planning. During this year of transition, M/CIO will need to accommodate the vision of a new CIO, the monitoring requirements of M Bureau, and increasing demands from users. IT strategic planning is the tool by which M/CIO will manage these changes while maintaining a line of sight from plans to service delivery—all with a commitment to customer satisfaction.
Last year we acknowledged that this was an exciting, challenging time for USAID and M/CIO. That continues to be the case as we prepare to move last year's ideas into this year's reality. The nature of USAID demands that M/CIO continue to quickly adopt new solutions as we deliver global IT services. Through this year of transition, we remain committed to helping USAID "partner to end extreme poverty and to promote resilient, democratic societies while advancing our security and prosperity."

The Senate has narrowly passed its first budget proposal in four years as majority Democrats went on record favoring almost $1 trillion in tax increases over the coming decade while sheltering domestic programs targeted by House Republicans.
The Democratic plan also proposes to reverse automatic spending cuts that are beginning to strike both the Pentagon and domestic programs. It passed by a near party line 50-49 vote after senators working most of the night approved it in Saturday's pre-dawn hours.
The vote came after lawmakers considered scores of votes on amendments, many of which were offered in hopes of inflicting political damage on Democratic senators up for re-election in GOP-leaning states like Alaska and Louisiana.
President Barack Obama's long-overdue budget is scheduled to be released March 8.

Just before the bell Monday morning, a group of freshmen girls squealed through the hallways of Oldham County High School, buzzing about the results of a computer-generated compatibility test.
The neatly folded list of "matches" on pastel paper linked one girl to a senior heartthrob.
But for Autumn Hall, a junior, compatibility and love are two very different things.
"I was like, 'He's in 12th grade, he doesn't even know you breathe,'" she said, overhearing the pack of freshmen.

Their project is actually far-reaching, but I think they can succeed as they have some experience and quite a good team works on it. As someone said above, their goal is not to gain $2.000.000, but to get investors interested - and that's the main concept.
Btw - Retto, the fact that you didn't like these arts doesn't mean that everyone else won't like it too.

Comments On Oct 23, 2012:This piston worked great but it comes with a copper/gold looking ring and a black ring and didnt say what ring goes where, the copper/gold closest to the top of the piston then black then the small one then the wrinkle oil ring then the other thin silver ring was so hard to figure out which on went where. Other than that, great product

Comments On Dec 14, 2010:This piston has held up great. My YZ has hot cams and a hot rod crank and this piston completed my build. Bike pulls hard at all RPM's and has over 40 hours and still measures up great on the leak down tester. Would buy again if mine wears out but so far no need.

Comments On Jul 05, 2010:It's probably a good piston if you don't race. But for racing it didn't take long before the top ring was seized to the piston. Check your other options before getting this one.
