Gottfried Leibniz
Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz (1646-1716) was a Christian German polymath famous for his contributions to mathematics and philosophy. He was a major intellectual force in the 17th and 18th centuries, and is known as the last "universal genius".
In mathematics his greatest achievement was his independent discovery of differential and integral calculus, also simultaneously invented by Isaac Newton. Modern calculus follows the notations and conventions of Leibniz, not Newton.
In philosophy, Leibniz disagreed with Descartes' "I think therefore I am" and he instead thought that neither form alone (the mind) or matter alone (the body) could explain the existence of an individual. Instead, Leibniz created a philosophy known as "monadology", which holds that souls are all there are in the universe. Even a table, according to Leibniz, is nothing other than a collection of "windowless monads" which cannot interact.
In physics, Leibniz proposed the use of "dynamics" or kinetic energy to explain motion, rather than "mechanics" that is based on Cartesian coordinates. Leibniz held the view that light always travelled the path of least resistance.
Leibniz was a Lutheran who dreamed of reuniting the Lutheran faith it with the Roman Catholic Church, and also of reconciling modern thinkers like Hobbes and Descartes with the Aristotle of the Scholastics, or even the earlier Greek philosopher Aristotle.
An ugly dispute developed between Newton and Leibniz over who discovered calculus first. Most British historians gave the credit to Newton, while the continental historians credited Leibniz. Both deserve credit: while Newton was the superior mathematician, Leibniz provided the more intuitive notation.

Moderator Marc Levitt, as usual, will use an underappreciated date in history as a jumping off point for the chat. This time it's 1992, year of the first Critical Mass ride in San Francisco.
Critical Mass, now in hundreds of cities around the globe, draws together a pack of cyclists to cruise around town in a politically tinged, rolling celebration. Its take-the-streets ethos anticipated the anti-globalization protests in Seattle in 1999 and the more recent Occupy Wall Street movement.
And the rides raise all sorts of interesting questions about public space and democracy. The Action Speaks panel — scheduled for 5:30 pm at AS220, 115 Empire Street and free and open to the public — will feature Nicole Freedman, former director of bicycle programs for the city of Boston, David Herlihy, author of Bicycle: The History, and Zack Furness, a professor of communications at Penn State and author of One Less Car: Bicycling and the Politics of Automobility.
The Phoenix caught up with Furness for a Q&A, via email, in advance of his appearance.
THE BICYCLE IN THE WESTERN WORLD: BOURGEOIS TOTEM OR SYMBOL OF DEFIANCE? At times it can symbolize both, or neither . . . it all depends on the historical and cultural context. Today, where cars are one of the supreme icons of American life, other kinds of transportation — as well as the people who use them — are often seen as inferior. Against this, there are many people who champion bicycling as not only a form of transportation, but as a way to rethink our individual and collective relationships to technology, energy production, urban design, our communities, and mobility itself.
HOW ABOUT BIKE MESSENGER CULTURE? YOU'VE SUGGESTED IT'S NOT JUST THE PROVINCE OF THE WHITE, TATTOOED, AND HIP. CAN YOU EXPLAIN? Being a bike messenger is a working-class job, and not everyone who works that job fits the demographic you mentioned. By only focusing on messengering as a white subculture or a "rebel" lifestyle, it allows people to conveniently ignore the labor issues involved, as well as the crucial role that people of color — especially Caribbean immigrants — actually played in cultivating messenger culture in places like New York City (riding fixed gear bikes, for example).
YOU WRITE THAT CRITICAL MASS, HOWEVER OPPOSITIONAL, IS NOT AS DEMOCRATIC AS IT MIGHT APPEAR. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT — AND WHY DOES IT MATTER? Anyone can ride in Critical Mass, so it's very democratic in that sense. But in some places the rides have been more contentious because of police harassment or, in a few circumstances, because a handful of riders acted like knuckleheads. Given that people love to focus on this kind of drama — as opposed to the vast majority of rides in the last 20 years that are peaceful and fun — there are undoubtedly folks who get discouraged from participating. With that being said, I think CM is part of a spectrum of activities that are crucial in revealing how our city streets, our public spaces, and our car-centric transportation system are not as democratic as they might appear.

"So what is big is not always the Trout nor the Deer but the chance, the being there. And what is full is not necessarily the creel nor the freezer, but the memory." ~ Aldo Leopold
"The Greatest Obstacle to Discovery is not Ignorance -- It is the Illusion of Knowledge" ~ Daniel Boorstin
Most, but not all, nursing homes (even private ones) will accept Medicaid patients. My mom started out paying her way, until her funds ran out. Then the nursing home took the SS check + her small pension (NYS employee for a relatively short time), and left $30 of "spending money" from that. Whatever else they got was from Medicaid. Not all nursing homes accept that arrangement. The county-run home would only take residents in that way: pay their way until funds run out. They would not accept patients who first went to a private nursing home & wanted to then go to the county home when funds were depleted. And the county nursing home cost the same as the private one!
So, indeed, Medicaid does end up paying for many of the elderly.
As a result of this, I acquired long-term care insurance several years ago. I didn't get "THE" best policy offered, but it did have a graduated increment in the daily allowance. Still not sure that will be enough to cover the costs if I should need to use it. Medicare covers some nursing home costs, but of a very limited nature.
I still haven't quite figured out why nursing homes cost as much as they do, since medical costs involved with care are still covered by Medicare.
I think the reason that more elderly end up in nursing homes now is that so many families are 2-income households; or a divorce has taken place. In the case of divorce, someone has to continue to work to provide an income for housing. There is Meals on Wheels to help; and some visiting nurse services and "home aids", but when you have a very elderly person in the house, you simply cannot leave them alone for long periods unsupervised.

Medicaid, unlike Medicare was establishes to take care of those that don't have the money to take care of themselves. When one begins on Medicaid, all assets except for that persons home must be used before Medicaid will begin coverage. At death, there is an "estate recovery" clause in the Medicaid Law that allows the state the rights to the home recovering part of the the state's expenses. The gov will go back 7 years on all buisness records of the resident to make sure assets were not illegally taken by the family.
The system is trillions in the hole as there has been wide scale theft by families as well as by providers.

Regardless of the funds or lack of funds a person has to care for the elderly loved one please anyone that must make the choices for the elderly loved one do serious research on facilities as they are not all created equal. Don't just take a 15 minute tour. Find a way to visit on different days and at different times. I have working therapy dogs and visit such places on a regular basis. I quit going to one that happens to be 5 minutes from the house after an incident. NO way I was ever going back. A patient was yelling for help because they were bleeding. THe blood was pooling on the floor, no reponse form staff and I went to the closest station to notify them. The words that came out of someones mouth were enough for me to pull my dog. They actually at first said it wasn't their "zone". Really? someone is bleeding and the blood is pooling on the floor and they were going to ignore the situation because that room was not in their zone.

Yes, Carly, the SS check/pension did NOT equal the amount the nursing home was getting at "full price". The full price had been around $3000/mo. I was not privy to what Medicaid paid over and above her SS/pension. I figured it was less than the $3000, but something above her SS/pension. So, Medicaid did pay something, though it may not have been as much for her as for someone who had no SS/pension to contribute. I paid separately for some other services, like dental care.
She had no home or significant assets. She had to cash in her small life insurance policy as well. She was allowed to establish a "burial fund account" that was only payable to the funeral home handling the funeral & burial. I think there was a limit on the amount allowed for the burial account. Since she had no spouse or home, those factors did not come into play. This was almost 20 years ago, now, and even back then, a simple funeral/burial cost over $7,000. ( & she already owned her burial plot).

My sister put my Mother in a nursing home even though I had told her not to do so without informing me first. Crying, she called me begging for me to come and get her. I hired sitters 8 hours a day Saturday-Thursday and 12 hrs on Friday. I had her to myself the rest of the time. Being wheelchair bound, I would get up in the night about 3 times to put her socks and shoes on and get her into a wheelchair to go to the bathroom. I did have enough personal time to work and run errands which also included getting her doctors and taking her to her appts. I even got to go fishing with a friend occasionally. My other sister did come up from Florida to let me go back home to deal with my farms. I left at 4 am and was back home by midnight. The trip was about 400 miles. The truly sad part was that she, having no friends here, became so unhappy that she wanted to go back home into a nursing home. She died in 2004, one month shy of 90. My last visit was truly sad. When she passed I received a phone call.
The good thing about these posts is to see that many people do what they can to see that their loved ones live their last days with as much quality of life and only wish that they could have done more.
Being a "Primary Care-Giver" is the single most challenging thing I have ever undertaken, twice.
Also the most rewarding.
Having said that, as long as I am able, no family member goes into an assisted care facility.
They come here!
Although, most are gone now.
In my case, I'll go to the VA Center if that's the way it ends up.
I'm entitled!!!

Did a 10K race in the morning. It was pretty low key, at is was for members of the running club only, and only 23 people were in it. Since I had just done a 2 mile cross country race on Thursday, I was just hoping to run relaxed and find a good rhythm and hopefully run 7 minute pace. However, several people went out pretty fast, and I kind of got pulled along with that briefly before letting them go. It was still a bit faster than I had wanted to do. I did pass three of them before a mile, but the next person (the top female finisher) I was unable to gain ground on, and pulled further away from me in the second half of the run. I ended up running a minute slower than 7 minute pace, but the course was probably between 6.3 and 6.4, and my Garmin watch said I was right at 7 minute pace.
Later in the afternoon, my girlfriend came over and we went out to eat at Old Country Buffet. We stopped by my mom's for a short visit, then came home and watched some classic Doctor Who.

Pyatt filling new, unexpected roles for PenguinsJanuary 17, 2014 11:40 PM
The Penguins had a specific niche in mind for Taylor Pyatt when they claimed him Jan. 2 off waivers from the New York Rangers. And it had nothing to do with stepping into a top-six role.
Rather, the Penguins brought in Pyatt because they felt he could be an effective third-liner, a big-body winger who would be responsible in his own end and hand out an occasional hit.
Seemed perfectly reasonable, given that Pyatt is 6 feet 4 and 230 pounds and, at 32, has pretty well established what he can be counted on to contribute. But, like so many things the Penguins have hoped to do this season, their plan for Pyatt barely had reached the embryonic stage when an injury forced it to be altered.
After five games with the Penguins -- barely enough time to learn the names of his teammates, let alone figure out how they like to play -- Pyatt was bumped up to the second line when right winger James Neal had to sit out a game Wednesday against Washington because of an unspecified injury.
No one anticipated a seamless transition or expected Pyatt to make people forget that Neal wasn't in uniform -- after all, Neal has become one of the NHL's most lethal goal-scorers and has an extraordinary chemistry with center Evgeni Malkin -- but Pyatt's bosses and teammates couldn't have been more pleased with how he handled his upgraded duties.
Pyatt logged 14 minutes and 56 seconds of ice time -- his previous high since joining the Penguins had been 13:58 in Calgary a week ago -- and scored the Penguins' third goal. He also recorded five hits, one off the team lead.
Coach Dan Bylsma said, "I thought it was his best game for our team." and Pyatt didn't disagree.
"Whenever you score, it always feels pretty good," he said. "It feels like you've had a strong game. I got a chance to play a lot. I'm starting to feel a little more comfortable with our system, what we're doing out there."
Critical as Pyatt's goal was -- it rallied the Penguins from a one-goal deficit for the third and final time that night -- his most important play might have been one that came with no statistical reward, at least for him.
That didn't seem to bother Pyatt much, though, because he made it possible for rookie defenseman Olli Maatta to score his first winning goal in the NHL.
With the score tied, 3-3, and about two minutes left in regulation, Pyatt went to the front of the Washington net and planted himself in front of goalie Michal Neuvirth. He stayed there until Maatta's shot from the top of the left circle hit the net behind Neuvirth, who would have needed X-ray vision to have any chance of locating the puck once Maatta launched it.
Which means that, even though Pyatt wasn't credited with an assist, his contribution to the goal couldn't have been more obvious.
"The goalie has no eyes, can't see anything," Bylsma said. "[Maatta's goal is] made possible because Taylor is a big body in front."
Pyatt's stint on a line with Malkin and Jussi Jokinen undoubtedly was a cameo appearance. There's no indication that Neal's injury is particularly serious -- he had said Wednesday morning that he hoped to dress for the Capitals game that night -- and he certainly will reclaim his place on the No. 2 line when he returns to the lineup.
Nonetheless, Pyatt took full advantage of the opportunity Neal's absence created for him, and presumably would get a chance to do it again if circumstances made it necessary. Which, given the Penguins' miserable luck with injuries this season, hardly can be ruled out.
"It was a great opportunity for me to play with a great player like Malkin, and Jussi Jokinen on the other wing," Pyatt said.
"I just tried to play hard, play my game, be strong on the puck and get around the net as much as possible. It felt good to contribute and feel like a part of the team."
Even though it wasn't the part Pyatt was expected to be.
NOTES -- The Penguins have set a franchise record by winning 13 home games in a row but remain 10 shy of the NHL mark set by Detroit two seasons ago. ... The Penguins, off the past two days, are scheduled to practice at 11 a.m. today at Consol Energy Center.

Video Brief Roundup: Arab Revolutions and the UNFriday, December 28, 2012
These videos are from a series with CFR fellows on vital foreign policy and national security topics that will face President Barack Obama in his second term. They were recorded during the campaign and originally posted as part of the President's Inbox, a collection of materials on issues that will face the next president beginning next year.
Steven A. Cook on the Arab Revolutions
The administration will likely confront a greatly changed Middle East political landscape due to ongoing civil upheaval, says Steven A. Cook, CFR's senior fellow for Middle Eastern studies. He says the president will have to grapple with the fact that the regional political order "that made it relatively easier and relatively less expensive for the United States to pursue its interests in the Middle East has been turned over."

The "Green Team"
Promoting Green Construction & Operations
The environmental impacts of major development projects – office buildings, shopping malls, sports stadiums, college campuses, and the like -- don't end with construction. From design and construction to operation and maintenance and all the way through to demolition, man-made structures can use tremendous amounts of energy and natural resources, while generating large quantities of waste. Buildings, through the sheer amount of power they use, are responsible for some 40 percent of the nation's energy consumption and 40 percent of its carbon dioxide emissions. For these reasons, EPA Region 2 works in partnership with public, private and government organizations to reduce the environmental impacts of their buildings and operations, which in turn, reduce construction, operation and maintenance costs.
The EPA Region 2 Green MOU Program helps building developers and facility managers incorporate more sustainable construction, operation and maintenance practices through voluntary agreements called memorandums of understanding (MOU's).
The Green MOUs are tailored to each partner and incorporate technologies and practices that directly help partners to:
- Improve energy and water efficiency
- Utilize renewable energy
- Reduce waste generation and increase recycling, including food waste composting
- Increase reuse and recycling of construction and other materials
- Incorporate Green Procurement throughout the entire organization
- Incorporate Green Infrastructure techniques to reduce and re-use stormwater runoff
- Save Money
Read about the EPA Partnership Programs for the Green Team.
As of November 1, 2013, 24 Green MOU Partners joined EPA in "Going Green" in a real and measurable manner. Seven sectors are represented: retail, professional sports teams, higher education, real estate/property management, federal, insurance/financial and health care/hospitals. View Press Releases, MOU's, and Latest Environmental Assessments.
A few of the many achievements of the Green MOU program are:
- Over 8,500 buildings are being constructed/operated in a green and sustainable manner by our 24 Green MOU Partners.
- The Green MOU Program has measured greenhouse gas reductions that add up to a huge environmental impact of 1.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (MTCO2e).
- This amount of carbon footprint reduction equates to the carbon dioxide emissions from burning 6,300 railcars worth of coal or a coal train stretching approximately 96 miles long!
- Our Green MOU partners have also proven that "Going Green saves Green" by reducing costs by over $142 million dollars.
- EPA has provided individualized Environmental Assessment Reports that quantify the environmental benefits and the climate profile of each partner.
- EPA calculates GHG and Carbon Footprint Reductions and translates these into Real-Life Equivalents (i.e. 1,000 barrels of oil conserved).
- The Green MOU provides a complete compendium of an organization's Green and Sustainable Activities and Accomplishments.
- The Green MOU and EPA Environmental Assessment Reports are valuable tools for communicating environmental benefits to management, employees, customers, the public and other stakeholders.

How Can We Prevent the Next Genocide?
USAID brought 60 organizations together in Tunisia to form the nation's first civil society network.
USAID promotes inclusive development and the rights of vulnerable populations throughout its work.
As the Arab Spring powerfully reminded the world in 2011, democratic governance and human rights are critical components of sustainable development and lasting peace. Countries that have ineffective government institutions, rampant corruption and weak rule of law have a 30-to-45 percent higher risk of civil war and higher risk of extreme criminal violence than other developing countries.
In fact, no poor fragile or conflict-ridden state has yet to achieve a single U.N. Millennium Development Goal.
To help change this narrative, we are integrating democracy programming throughout our core development work, focusing on strengthening and promoting human rights, accountable and transparent governance, and an independent and politically active civil society across all our work. At the same time, we remain committed to fundamental democratic empowerment activities, including supporting free and fair elections, up-to-date technology for new and traditional media, as well as the rule of law.
By helping societies protect the basic rights of citizens, we prevent conflict, spur economic growth and advance human dignity. Countries with democratic freedoms are more just, peaceful and stable-and their citizens can fulfill their potential. Through its democracy, human rights and governance programs, the United States remains committed to protecting and advancing our most cherished values.
We are focused on:
- Supporting more legitimate, inclusive and effective governments, so that they are responsive to the needs of their people;
- Helping countries transition to democracy and strengthen democratic institutions, capitalizing on critical moments to expand freedom and opportunity; and
- Promoting inclusive development, so that women, minorities and vulnerable populations benefit from growth, opportunity and the expansion of rights.
To advance these goals, we launched the new Center of Excellence on Democracy, Human Rights and Governance in 2012. Designed to become a global resource for evidence-based research, the Center will closely measure and evaluate what works best in democracy, human rights and governance and share best practices with the international development community.
As a result of this focus, we have recently:
- Promoted government accountability and transparency by assisting more than 130 civil society organizations that engage in advocacy and watchdog functions, and supporting more than 60 civil society advocacy campaigns in nine countries.
- Supported free and fair elections in Tunisia and Egypt.
- Expanded political participation by training more than 9,800 domestic election observers and officials, and providing voter and civic education reaching more than 6.5 million people.
- Enabled the first-ever meeting of Tunisian civil society leaders and legislators to work toward a new non-governmental organization law for activists. Now, USAID programs are allowing Tunisian civil society actors to share their experience with new voices in Libya working toward the same goal;
- Provided medical treatment, psychological and social support, legal assistance and economic strengthening support to 43,000 survivors of torture and victims of gender-based violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Our efforts resulted in more 1,450 separated or abandoned children – many of whom are survivors of sexual abuse – being reunited with their families.
- Supported a trafficking-in-persons awareness and prevention campaign across Asia through an innovative partnership with MTV Exit. This campaign has reached millions of households through social and traditional media and over 650,000 youth through concerts. Impact assessments revealed that individuals exposed to the campaign's messaging had a substantially greater understanding of trafficking in persons than those who had not been exposed.

Alumni, families arrive on campus for Reunions
Posted May 27, 2010; 06:00 p.m.
Princeton alumni, family members and friends have arrived on campus for Reunions activities, which run through Sunday, May 30.
Highlights will include annual activities such as: the P-rade throughout campus beginning at 2 p.m. Saturday; alumni-faculty forums and department open houses during the day Friday and Saturday; the "Battle of the Alumni Bands" from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday on the Frist Campus Center South Lawn; performances by student groups including Quipfire!, the Princeton University Players and Triangle Club on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings; receptions and student/alumni arch sings on Friday and Saturday evenings; and the University Orchestra's lawn concert at 8 p.m. Saturday on Finney and Campbell fields, followed by fireworks at 9:15 p.m. The concert and fireworks are open to the entire community.
In addition, some new activities are part of this year's Reunions schedule (unless otherwise noted, activities are open to alumni, friends and the campus community):
- An exhibition celebrating the art and history of the Nassau Hall Faculty Room will be on view from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday in the Faculty Room. The class of 1970 underwrote the exhibition, titled "Inner Sanctum: Memory and Meaning in Princeton's Faculty Room at Nassau Hall," in honor of its 40th reunion. The exhibition will close Sunday for Commencement activities and reopen Wednesday, June 3.
- A "green tour" of campus hosted by the Office of Sustainability will be offered at 10 a.m. Saturday. The tour, which starts at Dillon Gymnasium, will include an overview of the University's Sustainability Plan, student environmental initiatives and Dining Services' sustainable food sourcing and waste disposal efforts. The tour also will visit the Forbes College organic garden and include a focus on the Butler College green roof.
All alumni and University representatives again will be required to have wristbands to participate in Reunions activities in the major reunion headquarters courtyards (wristbands are not required for attending lectures, watching the P-rade or attending the concert and fireworks).
Faculty and staff who ordered wristbands in advance from the Alumni Association may pick them up during the following times at Maclean House: between 1 and 5 p.m. and 7 and 11 p.m. Thursday, May 27; and between 7 and 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, May 28-29. A University ID card and valid driver's license with photo will be required for pickup.
For the second year, attendees also can access the Reunions schedule and other key content on their smartphone via the Reunions Mobile website. For more information on Reunions activities, visit the Reunions 2010 Web page or call (609) 258-1900.
Looking snazzy in his tiger-patterned class of 1960 jacket, Edward Flynn celebrated his 50th reunion with his wife, Marge. A highlight of Reunions weekend is the P-rade, the annual parade of alumni and their families, which will take place Saturday.

Thank you for signing up for alerts.
1.1* Scope. A.1.1 The following is a suggested procedure for determining the Code requirements for a building or structure: (1) Determine the occupancy classification by referring to the occupancy definitions in Chapter 6 and the occupancy Chapters 12 through 42. (See 6.1.14 for buildings withmore than one use.) (2) Determine if the building or structure is new or existing. (See the definitions in Chapter 3.) (3) Determine the occupant load. (See 7.3.1.) (4) Determine the hazard of contents. (See Section 6.2.) (5) Refer to the applicable occupancy chapter of the Code, Chapters 12 through 42. [See Chapters 1 through 4 and Chapters 6 through 11, as needed, for general information (such as definitions) or as directed by the occupancy chapter.] (6) Determine the occupancy subclassification or special use condition, if any, by referring to Chapters 16 and 17, daycare occupancies; Chapters 18 and 19, health care occupancies; Chapters 22 and 23, detention and correctional occupancies; Chapters 28 and 29, hotels and dormitories; Chapters 32 and 33, residential board and care occupancies; Chapters 36 and 37, mercantile occupancies; and Chapter 40, industrial occupancies, which contain subclassifications or special use definitions. (7) Proceed through the applicable occupancy chapter to verify compliance with each referenced section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph, and referenced codes, standards, and other documents. (8) Where two or more requirements apply, refer to the occupancy chapter, which generally takes precedence over the base Chapters 1 through 4 and Chapters 6 through 11. (9) Where two or more occupancy chapters apply, such as in a mixed occupancy (see 6.1.14), apply the most restrictive requirements. 1.1.1 Title. NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, shall be known as the Life Safety Code®, is cited as such, and shall be referred to herein as "this Code" or "the Code." 1.1.2 Danger to Life from Fire. The Code addresses those construction, protection, and occupancy features necessary to minimize danger to life from the effects of fire, including smoke, heat, and toxic gases created during a fire. 1.1.3 Egress Facilities. The Code establishes minimum criteria for the design of egress facilities so as to allow prompt escape of occupants from buildings or, where desirable, into safe areas within buildings. 1.1.4 Other Fire-Related Considerations. The Code addresses other considerations that are essential to life safety in recognition of the fact that life safety is more than a matter of egress. The Code also addresses protective features and systems, building services, operating features, maintenance activities, and other provisions in recognition of the fact that achieving an acceptable degree of life safety depends on additional safeguards to provide adequate egress time or protection for people exposed to fire. 1.1.5* Considerations Not Related to Fire. The Code also addresses other considerations that, while important in fire conditions, provide an ongoing benefit in other conditions of use, including non-fire emergencies. A.1.1.5 Life safety in buildings includes more than safety from fire. Although fire safety has been the long-standing focus of NFPA 101, its widely known title, Life Safety Code, and its technical requirements respond to a wider range of concerns, including, for example, crowd safety. 1.1.6 Areas Not Addressed. The Code does not address the following: (1)*General fire prevention or building construction features that are normally a function of fire prevention codes and building codes A.1.1.6(1) This Code is intended to be adopted and used as part of a comprehensive program of building regulations that include building, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fuel gas, fire prevention, and land use regulations. (2) Prevention of injury incurred by an individual due to that individual's failure to use reasonable care (3) Preservation of property from loss by fire
The Life Safety Code is the most widely used source for strategies to protect people based on building construction, protection, and occupancy features that minimize the effects of fire and related hazards. Unique in the field, it is the only document that covers life safety in both new and existing structures
Provisions are included for all types of occupancies, with requirements for egress, features of fire protection, sprinkler systems, alarms, emergency lighting, smoke barriers, and special hazard protection.

Strictly speaking, I didn't get jack shite done today. Turned in the last lab for CS201 and got really far in Zelda II but other than that... Where did all the time go? Damn.
Anyway. Was gonna write a new chat client that used a "mario" style interface, eg you could jump around on platforms like all those old NES games. It could be a really l33t way to chat, mixing talking and interactivity in some amusing ways :-) Then I realized it would make more sense to hack gfxchat to do the platform stuff rather than writing a whole new program. THEN realized that it was 11:00pm and I didn't feel like writing any code. So I wrote a poem instead :-)
A tail around a corner
A toy rolls by
Memory of a purr
Black and white spots
A flash of fur
Streaking through the house
Death to ping-pong balls!
Time for food
Time for grooming
Time for sleep
Noble, poised
This is he
Living with us
But not below us
One of us
The feline, the king.
(other poetry on my website)
nixnut - XML is just a syntax. Yes, it is a metalanguage in the sense that it defines how to specify real, useful languages, but it is in the design of these languages where we need more meta-level markup. One thing that has been rattling around in my head recently has been how to design a language that actually coerces users into using content-based markup so that programs can reason about a page's contents more intellegently than the modern complex web page that's just a million nested tables. The greatest boon to intellegent agents and the Internet would be a web that computers could extract meaning from as well as people.
Okay, I'm ranging everywhere from hypermedia and virtual reality to intellegent agents and artificial intellegence here, but I think this is the future, and the future is going to be cool :)

i know that nrf24l01 uses pins 9,10,11(MOSI),12(MISO),13 (SCK) could that be a problem using ethernet shield with it ?

Have you ever imagined yourself in a place surrounded by others on the same quest? Do you yearn for an environment where you are challenged to stretch yourself intellectually, where you are exposed to new ideas that you use in your job the following day? Do you want to work hard to make a difference? The Certificate in Graduate Studies in Autism Education provided that opportunity for me.
I am celebrating thirty-four years in the field of education as a speech and language pathologist. My workplace is and has been in private rehabilitation centers, public schools and universities. I love my occupation and am always open to new opportunities for learning. What the Autism Education program at Rhode Island College was able to offer me, however, exceeded my expectations.
The faculty that taught the courses are leaders in their field. They provided us with cutting edge research, exposure to the scientists and doctors exploring new ideas in autism, and challenged us to take this information back to our districts. In addition, the experience was a partnership between a group of learners with the faculty at the helm, guiding us to make new connections and discover research-based treatment approaches that would facilitate changes in our students.
Perhaps the most telling sign of the impact of this program Autism Education is that at the end of the program no one wanted it to end - and it didn't. I was part of the first group that graduated and we continue to meet regularly, and have been joined by students from subsequent years. At our last meeting we created a common website for our group so that the exchange of ideas can continue to happen on an even more regular basis.
Rhode Island College provided the spark and we caught the fire! Thank you.

At the pre-orientation for newly arrived international and exchange students, held Sept. 4-7 to introduce them to life at Princeton, games such as a scavenger hunt helped students get to know the Princeton campus.

International students have a blast at pre-orientation
Posted September 10, 2007; 11:21 a.m.
Ninety-four international students hailing from 38 countries got a hands-on introduction to Princeton University last week by fishing poker chips out of the Scudder Plaza fountain, doing push-ups on the top floor of Fine Tower and finding an upperclassmate in Firestone Library just by using the barcode of a nearby book. The scavenger hunt assignments were part of a four-day program tailored to introduce newly arrived international and exchange students to life at Princeton.
"We want to provide them with a pipeline to everything Princeton has to offer," said Rachel Baldwin, an assistant dean in the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students and the organizer of the Sept. 4-7 international pre-orientation. "And we want them to have an opportunity to meet each other. Sometimes that's the hardest part for international students."
Students found lots of other friendly faces during the program's lunches, game nights and, of course, the scavenger hunt, which split the group into teams of eight students who were sent all over campus and into town to accomplish 14 Princeton-related assignments, including singing a song together while accompanying themselves on a piano at Forbes College, visiting Hoagie Haven and looking for a chocolate surprise in the cannon outside Cannon Club.
"I'm meeting lots of people from all over the world," said Cristina Popa, who is from Romania, as she shared pizza with other students at a lunch outside Whig Hall last Thursday. "It's been really interesting, and I've made a couple of friends so far."
The lunch was an opportunity for the students to sample kettle corn and snow cones and to mingle with each other and with new graduate international students.
"I see a lot of international students, which I didn't expect," said Sara Munoz, a graduate student from Spain. "It's good to connect with them at the beginning. Once you get into your program, it will be more difficult."
Veteran international students served as volunteers during the program to guide the new freshmen through their introduction to campus.
"The program was so helpful to me last year, so I came back to volunteer to help this year," said Auxilia Munhutu, a sophomore from Zimbabwe. She and 13 other upperclassmen explained residential college life, helped students move into their rooms and organized game nights.
Two-thirds of all incoming international and exchange students attended the international pre-orientation, which included a session that introduced them to the many student organizations on campus, a tour of the campus libraries, a presentation about community service at Princeton and a shopping trip to purchase essentials for school.
Nelson Chiwara, who is from Zimbabwe, said the program has gotten him acquainted with the campus and much more. "It has helped me to get used to the American way of life and culture," he said. He also enjoyed the shopping excursion. "I love Wal-Mart."
Nithiya Muthusamy, a native of Malaysia, was happy to have been introduced to the international community.
"Being an international student, I really wanted to connect with the international community," he said. "I wanted to be keyed in to what the international community was doing -- not just getting on the mailing list, but really getting to know them. Thus far it's been great fun."
Other members of the freshman class participated in Outdoor Action and Community Action pre-orientation programs Sept. 2-8, which welcomed students to Princeton by offering opportunities to make new friends while taking part in outdoor and volunteer activities.
Students participated in 74 Outdoor Action trips across eight states, including an excursion of canoeing, rock climbing and trail restoration at the Princeton-Blairstown Center in northern New Jersey. Community Action brought students to 12 sites in Princeton, Trenton and Philadelphia, where they prepared food at a soup kitchen, repaired houses in an urban renewal project and stocked shelves at a food pantry. A total of 758 freshmen were involved, while upperclassmates provided guidance as leaders and mentors.

- Rockets End-Of-Season GradesRockets GradesSportsRadio 610's Shaun Bijani gives his grades for the Rockets' 43-29 season.
- Rockets End-Of-Season GradesCoaching: BAdelman and his staff get a B because I'm not sure who would have done a better job getting the most out of this group of players than him. He's been around them for five years and brought in guys he's familiar working with (IE: Kevin Martin and Brad Miller). I would have given him a B+, but I think what this team has lacked defensively is not just because they didn't have a true center or other defensive capable players. It's because they miss Tom Thibodeau - guy that demands tenacious defense for 48 minutes.
- Rockets End-Of-Season GradesManagement: B+Darrel Morey gets a B+ for now, but I think much of what he'll be remembered for has really yet to happen. He's made good moves to improve this team, trading for Kevin Martin, getting rid of Tracy McGrady's contract for draft picks and Jordan Hill. He made great draft acquisitions with Chase Budinger and Patrick Patterson. He brought in Courtney Lee and chose Kyle Lowry over Aaron Brooks to lead the offense.
- Rockets End-Of-Season GradesOffense: AThe Rockets had the best offense since the All-Star Break. Kevin Martin and Luis Scola set the tone in early stages of games. Their tenacity and creative ways of scoring made defenders collapse on them and free up one of best three-point shooting back courts in the league. Chuck Hayes gave the Rockets extra possessions and was a beast on the boards as was Patrick Patterson late in the season. Rick Adelman is an offensive genius and knows how to use talent, which the Rockets clearly have. I'd give them an A+, but they failed to execute too many times in key games this season.
- Rockets End-Of-Season GradesDefense: CIt's tough for me to grade this portion. Maybe I'm too nice, but I gave them a C because I think they did as good a job defensively with the players they had. The defense picked it up considerably after the trades, because there was a sense of urgency.
- Rockets End-Of-Season GradesGuards: AOnce Aaron Brooks was out of the equation, Kyle Lowry and Goran Dragic accepted their roles and performed well. Lowry averaged nearly 20 points per contest after the trade and his three-point attempts improved, making him a real threat. Kevin Martin stayed healthy! He played in 79 games for the Rockets this season after three consecutive injury-riddled seasons. He was a quiet assassin, averaging just over 23 points per game.
- Rockets End-Of-Season GradesForwards: B+Once Shane Battier was traded, Chase Budinger surprised us with his ability to score 3-pointers. He didn't settle for bad shots, and he attacked the basket and learned to finish in traffic. Budinger also became a better defender down the stretch, which could help his case for remaining a starter next season. Courtney Lee was a defensive upgrade off the bench, and his offensive game flourished once he he got consistent playing time. Lee finished the season as one of the most accurate three-point shooters in the league.
- Rockets End-Of-Season GradesCenters: AAll things considering? Come on! For the second consecutive season, Chuck Hayes (6'6') has started at center. He's trimmed down and has polished his offensive game. Credit the guy who went up against the best forwards and centers. The Rockets are well above .500 with him in the starting lineup - not a bad second option when Yao Ming, a 7-foot, six-inch defensive anchor and dominant scorer, is on the shelf.
- Rockets End-Of-Season GradesFans: A+Red Nation, you did a heck of a job this year! Most of the fans understood the hand that Rick Adelman and the Rockets were dealt. Red Nation stuck with the team through the injuries and lowpoints, selling out Toyota Center 13 times this season. The Red Rowdies were terrific again! I have to say GREAT JOB to the fans. They are passionate about this team, but the fan base has taken a hit, though. I'd be naive to think otherwise. The Rockets fan base has been extremely loyal over the years and will rebound and be better than ever, because this team isn't too far away from competing - and I mean seriously competing - for a Western Conference Championship.

I need some advice pretty please. My cat Mia is 8 or 9 yrs. old. She has recently begun to barf, hurl, spew. I have a weak stomach so I have begun hurling every time I have to clean it up. It's not furballs, her cat food is what I'm seein. I'm gonna spu just thinkin' about it. should I take her to the vet? Do cat's get the flu? Haven't changed her diet. SO GROSS.
Just think I found the problem. I think she is covertly chewing on plastic bags whilst we sleep. Have to find a place to hide them all now. Could be the problemo

Half of BB is going to be teaming up with Erika Froman (of Anathallo) to become Ribbons of Song which are songs that Ben Scott-Brandt has created. We'll be out for two weeks...hovering in the midwest region. I think it is bound to be a something....it will be something. BB will be playing a few of the shows and we are proud to announce the release of a new set of songs on 3 inch cdr through RC LEGACY RECORDS. The little guy media object features one time event-based packaging as well as 7 new songs created in Grand Rapids as well as compositions created while I was living in Spain. As a whole, the ep is a strange and varying mix of sounds and singing. Worth your time...even though it might take a bit longer getting it onto your ipod.
Also, our fairy godmother/pro bono manager, Erika Jane, has donated a drawing to be featured as the first BB t-shirt design. Also, she and her cousin-in-law, Hillery Sproat created hand-made badges. All will be on sale here...once the world allows this website to be something GREAT!!!! (Also, sold at shows.)


text: I got a nice AKC male that was heading into the pound in Alaska,his pedigree to me looks pretty good. I was given his AKC papers and didn't think much about it. We noticed that he picked up fetch really easy so we took some retrieving classes in Fairbanks. Our guy did good but we were in the middle of a move and were able to finish it it. I think that if he was put into the hands of someone that knew what they were doing he would excel,or if I could find someone to be a mentor to me and teach me what to do with him. The problem is I don't know anyone that cares about such things. If anyone is close to Columbia,SC and would take a newbie under their wing I would love to hear from you.

Basically, I just want to have my PNG's transparency enabled.
This is what I have set in an attempt to make it work:
SDL_SetAlpha(surface,0,0); glEnable (GL_BLEND); glBlendFunc(GL_ONE, GL_ONE);
But this just makes the images overlap like this: (Where anything black is considered transparent)
The rectangle doesn't have any transparent parts in its original PNG, while the blue character has transparency around the sides.
I also tried:
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
Which was suggested here: http://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/man/xhtml/glBlendFunc.xml
But that just gives black in transparent areas:
Any help on getting them to be transparent without overlapping like in the top image would be appreciated, thanks!

Eberjey's Instructions to Measure for Size:
1. Bust: Measure under your arms at the fuller part of your bust. Keep tape level across your shoulder blades.
2. Cups: We recommend having your cup size measured by a bra expert at your local lingerie store.
3. Natural Waist: Measure around your natural waistline, keeping the tape comfortably loose.
4. Drop Waist: Measure around your body 1 1/2� below your natural waist.
5. Hips: Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips.
Eberjey was born in 1996 from the belief that the layer worn next to the heart should express happiness, love and confidence_ all the things that make a woman truly beautiful. Noticing a distinct lack of lingerie that spoke to this belief, co-founders Ali Mejia and Mariela Rovito, then colleagues at a global advertising agency, ventured to fill this void by creating pretty underthings that flattered real bodies and felt good too.
Ali had always joked that someday she would design underwear for laterally challenged, flat-bottomed women like herself, so that_s what Eberjey did first. And thus, the Boy Short became a must-have item in well-stocked lingerie drawers everywhere. But that was just the beginning. Thongs, bralets, and camis soon followed, along with pajamas, loungewear and swimwear as women fell in love with the girly-sexy-comfy style and look of Eberjey.
Eberjey has now grown from a beloved lingerie brand to an even-more beloved worldwide lifestyle brand. You_ll find Eberjey in upscale U.S. department stores and boutiques, as well as in Europe, Japan and Canada. Throughout its success and incredible journey, the ultimate Eberjey goal remains the same: to create must-have pieces that express life, love, and above all JOY!
