OmniVision Reports Financial Results for Third Quarter of Fiscal 2009
SANTA CLARA, Calif. , Feb. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: OVTI), a leading developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, today reported financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2009 .
Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 were
Non-GAAP net loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, which excludes
stock-based compensation expense and the related tax effects under FAS 123(R),
Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was 22.4% as compared to 25.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and 27.1% for the third quarter of fiscal 2008.

The Company ended the period with cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments totaling

Gulfstream G650 Pilot Report
Aer Lingus CEO Christoph Mueller says that Flybe's preliminary agreement with Ryanair to set up Flybe Ireland only makes it a tool to finally get through the planned Aer Lingus takeover. While Mueller is right of course, that is only half the story.
The other half is that Flybe is about to fundamentally change its business model and that its current model apparently no longer works. Flybe has been admired for inventing the low cost regional model in Europe and it seemed to work initially. But the airline's recent financial results tell a different story.
Flybe is already seeking business outside its previous realm – such as taking over Finnair's Embraer flying. The Airbus A320 operation inherited from Aer Lingus/Ryanair and nicely supported with a €100 million start-up gift would be the next step. But it inadvertently shows how far reaching Flybe's problems really are. If the core business was okay, it would probably not have looked at such a deal. Conversely, if Flybe Ireland is really set up, none of the parent company's original problems would be solved. It would still have to work hard to prove that it can survive in regional air transport, while not being distracted by its new Airbus operation.

Instant Expert: Secrets & Features of iOS 6.1
By Jesse Hollington
Social Media & Software Editor, iLoungeGoogle+
Published: Tuesday, January 29, 2013
Articles Categories: Features
Apple yesterday released iOS 6.1 for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, citing only a few relatively minor new features and fixes. The update primarily includes expanded LTE support for specific iPhone and iPad models, Siri and iTunes Match improvements, and a few other smaller changes. As with iOS 5.1 last year, the iOS 6.1 update seems to be primarily focused on fixing bugs and making incremental improvements.
The easiest way to install the new iOS 6.1 update is over-the-air from Settings, General, Software Update, although the traditional method of updating via iTunes is still available for users who prefer that approach. As with any update, it's a good idea to make sure you have a recent backup to either iCloud or iTunes—or both—before starting. The instructions in our Guide to Transferring Your Content to a New iPhone, iPad or iPod touch provide more information on how to backup your device and check that your backups are current.
Expanded LTE Support
iOS 6.1 improves international LTE carrier support by unlocking LTE capabilities for dozens of additional carriers worldwide, with one very important caveat: you must be using an iPhone 5, iPad mini or fourth-generation iPad. International users of Apple's first LTE device—the third-generation iPad released last March—will unfortunately still be left out in the cold as both the AT&T and Verizon third-gen iPad models were seemingly built for North American carriers only, and therefore don't support the LTE frequency bands now used by most carriers outside of North America.
For the same reasons, it's important to keep in mind that even with iOS 6.1, only the iPhone and iPad models sold for Verizon/Sprint in the U.S. and international markets elsewhere will provide LTE support outside of North America; the GSM-only "AT&T" models sold for use on the AT&T network and Canadian cellular networks continue to be limited to only North American LTE frequencies.
The North American iPad models gained support in iOS 6.1 for two new Canadian regional carriers—Sasktel and MTS—as well as Mexican carrier Telcel, while the Verizon/Sprint/international models by comparison added support for 20 new carriers. A complete list of models and supported carriers can be found at Apple's iPad LTE support chart. Similarly, the North American iPhone 5 models have gained LTE support for several regional U.S. and Canadian carriers as well as Open Mobile and Claro in Puerto Rico, while the list of supported LTE carriers for the international model has grown from 13 to 39.
Siri and Fandango
iOS 6.1 users can now purchase movie tickets with some assistance from Siri—a process similar in concept to the restaurant reservations via OpenTable added in iOS 6.0. Users will need to have the Fandango app installed—a voice prompt encourages you to do so if it's not already there—at which point making a request to purchase movie tickets will basically just hand you off to the Fandango app to complete your purchase.
Note that this Fandango feature is only available in the U.S. at this point. Siri can continue to handle movie lookups as before, but requests to book tickets will result in a message that it can't do so at any of the available theaters—presumably the same response you'll get even in the U.S. if no nearby theaters provide online ticket sales via Fandango.
iTunes Match Improvements
iOS 6.1 brings a relatively minor improvement to iTunes Match in the form of the ability to download individual tracks on demand—a feature that was available in iOS 5 but mysteriously disappeared with the release of iOS 6.0.
In iOS 6.1, each individual track now has an iCloud download icon that can be used to fetch the track from the cloud and download it to your local device's storage. This is essentially the same thing that happens when playing a track from the cloud, but provides users with the ability to pre-download a few tracks without having to fetch an entire playlist—useful when you know you're going into a place with a poor Internet connection, or if you're on a limited data plan and are leaving Wi-Fi coverage.
Oddly, however, the Music app in iOS 6.1 treats manually downloaded tracks differently from automatically downloaded tracks—tracks played "from the cloud" are still downloaded as you listen to them in the same way that they have always been, and once played can be replayed without a network connection. However, these tracks retain the iCloud download icon beside them until you manually download them. Our past testing with iOS 6.0 suggests that automatically downloaded tracks are treated like a "cache" and will be removed from local storage first if your device runs low on space; manually downloaded tracks are likely preserved.
iOS 6.1 also brings back the ability to swipe to delete tracks from local storage. Note that this feature only works in the standard track views, not when viewing tracks within a playlist. Swiping left-to-right on an individual track will provide the option to remove that track, and when working from the Albums or Artists listing, you can swipe-to-delete to remove all downloaded content within a specific album or by a specific artist. As in iOS 5, content is only removed from your local device and remains available in your iCloud library.
The iOS 6.1 update also makes another minor change related to the Music app, with the playback controls now rendered with a metallic look, both in the Music app itself as well as on the lock screen.
Passbook Apps
In iOS 6.1, the built-in Passbook app now includes a predefined "welcome pass" that explains what Passbook is about and provides a link to passbook-enabled apps on the App Store.
iOS 6.0 provided this as a simple intro screen that became unavailable once you had added your first actual Passbook pass. Note that the default "welcome pass" appears to be handled like any other Passbook pass, and can be deleted in the same manner if you don't want it cluttering up your pass list.
Advertising Identifier
In iOS 6.0, Apple introduced a new Advertising Identifier to replace the use of the unique device identifier (UDID) that many developers and advertisers had previously used to track specific devices for features such as ad targeting. Users were initially given the ability to disable the use of the Advertising Identifier by toggling on the option to "Limit Ad Tracking" hidden under Settings, General, About, Advertising. iOS 6.1 expands this by adding a button that can be used to reset the advertising identifier—a useful feature for those users who may not mind targeted ads but may wish to effectively "start over" with a new unique advertising ID.
It's actually worth mentioning here that the appearance of these features in iOS 6 is actually an attempt by Apple to increase privacy. Prior to iOS 6, developers were using the UDID—a unique, unchangeable value tied to your specific hardware device—to track advertising. Apple has begun transitioning developers away from using the UDID, and is expected to prevent third-party access to it entirely at some point. Developers will then be required to use the new Advertising Identifier for ad tracking—a setting that users now have the ability to reset on demand or disable entirely.
iOS 6.1 is a relatively minor update for most purposes, although many iTunes Match users will welcome the return of the iOS 5 track-level management features that were unceremoniously removed in the release of iOS 6, and of course the expanded LTE support will be of huge benefit for users of supported LTE devices on international networks. For the time being, it appears to be safe to install on any supported device.

I like jackson always have,and in reality he should have been about 15/22 if the recievers didnt drop the balls and he should have had about 3 td's (the slant to rice that he dropped) (furgeson endzone non-catch) you could also throw in the tony richardson play (although t-jack overthrew him) that could have been a td

Re: T-Jack Above Criticism
No QB is above criticism, and T-Jack has his doubter's, but I see a guy that's starting to jell within this offense. The rythm and timing that a WCO needs are starting to come and we will be better every week. Tarvaris is a young and exciting guy, and I'm looking forward to watching him get better with the rest of this young offense. Soon we will be making those play's we've missed.

Re: T-Jack Above Criticism
IF he limits mistakes...like he did on Sunday...he will do just fine!
BUT too many more 5 turnover games like the Lions game and we will be in for a very long season!

Re: T-Jack Above Criticism
Good quote from the article:
Against Detroit, Jackson faltered. But the sample size of games to judge him by is too small. If he falters more frequently, then criticism is warranted. Until then, criticism is somewhat premature.Zeus wrote:

Re: T-Jack Above Criticism
I was very happy with T-Jack's performance and think it is a sign of good things to come. He had 4 flat drops and a couple other 'catchable' balls that were not brought in. Give him half of those and he is 12-22 with over 200 yards and probably another TD. I think the way he kept the ball in our hands and was able to make the one big deep throw early were huge to our success in a place where we have had little to cheer about since the turn of the century. I am looking forward to watching this kid grow the rest of the year and hopefully put a rest to the talks that we need a QB next season.
Re: T-Jack Above Criticism
High (Atlanta/Chicago) and lows (Lions).
TJ, as will all of our young playmakers, will have highs and lows.
Rice's drop was followed by a great catch.
TJ's pass to T-will was followed by a bad pass to T-rich or a bit of an over throw to T-will.
We as fans just need to realize this and take this year for what it is.
On the Job Training.
Nothing more, nothing less.
I can't wait to watch this year unfold, and then see what kindof of excitement this group as well as our draft class from next year and the year after and the year after bring.
The end result will be a very young and exciting team that should keep us all happy for quiet a few years. That my friends is how you build a team.
Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.

Release Notes: The appearance of the program has been redesigned. Now it looks like the modern Android version of Bible-Discovery. Already you can write notes as well (e.g., for preaching sermons in church), and you can add your own commentary to the verses. It is possible to integrate e-Books. Essentially, almost any good quality Christian literature can be made readable and searchable by the program (if the raw text format and the license are appropriate, it can be converted) and MySword and TheWord books can be converted easily in the import menu.
Release Notes: This release allows the use of "The Word" Bible translations, dictionaries, and commentaries. First, convert them to MySword format, then import these converted files in the import menu of Bible-Discovery. You can publish an alternative download place (link) so that Bible translations, self-made dictionaries, and commentaries can be download within the program.
Release Notes: In the Bible and the dictionary panel you can use color and font styles: background color, foreground color, bold, italics, and underline. The bookmark function has been changed. You can set icon and font style for each bookmark category (background color, foreground color, bold, italics, and underline). The verse lists of bookmarks may be added to each other or may be removed from each other. There are two new user interfaces: French and Korean.
Release Notes: In the Bible panel, you can use an automatic verse scrolling function for comfortable reading. The scrolling speed can be increased and reduced. There is a new button in the dictionary panel toolbar that collects all of the dictionaries in which the given word can be looked up.
Release Notes: A tabbed page displaying problem that occurred on the Mac OS X operating system was fixed. The importing function has been improved. You can import dictionaries and commentaries as well.
Release Notes: There is a new quick bookmarking function. You can use it with right click. Displaying of dictionaries was made faster.

New Bible translations: Byz, GerAlbrecht, LEB, PorLivre, and PorTB.
Release Notes: You can now use commentaries as well. The commentaries are verse comments. Downloadable versions include Barnes, Clarke, MHC, MHCC, Scofield, TSK, and Wesley. Searching of the verses was made faster. Displaying parallel verses was made faster.
Release Notes: Bible panel right click context menu possibilities have been complemented. A registration problem that occurred rarely on the Mac OS X operating system was fixed.
Release Notes: The registration process has become simpler.
Release Notes: The main novelty of this version is the etymological analytical function: a tree structure shows the origins of various words. Convenient search options are also provided. The Bible verse copier function was substantially renovated. The most popular formats were included, replacing the old formats. Copying the search results should now be much nicer. The verse copier now allows dictionary entries of the words to be copied to the clipboard. The KJV English Bible translation now contains Hebrew grammar (morphology).

Review : I Break Horses - Hearts (Deluxe Edition)
The Swedish pop scene has produced a number of groups who sing in English and have enjoyed some recognition in America. Earlier in the 00s, many of these groups played sweet, honest guitar-pop that easily fit into the indie scene the Shout Out Louds, the Perishers, and the Radio Dept. By the middle of the decade, the exported Swedish sound began to diversify and electronics became more prominent. The second album from the Radio Dept. was largely electronic; Robyn released thumping dance tunes; Air France put together electro-disco; the Knife released darker synthesizer compositions. More eclectic groups like the Tough Alliance, Lykke Li, and jj sprouted up as well. I Break Horses, comprised of Frederik Balck and Maria Linden, formed near the end of the 00s in Swedens capital, Stockolm. They released their debut album, entitled Hearts, in 2011 it splits the difference between the more guitar-oriented and electronic ends of Swedens English-pop spectrum. I Break Horses often start their songs slowly, with a simple guitar melody or a basic progression on the synthesizer. There is usually a second keyboard playing more atmospherically, holding single notes for long periods before they change. The songs gain power as they go, building in percussion in layers bass drums coming in first, some sharper percussion joining them later. Everything might burst in explosions of whirring keyboards and distortion, or just simmer continuously without ever quite reaching an apex. Often the percussion and most of the instrumentation stop momentarily to give the vocals a chance to fill the breadth of the tune. The lyrics can be unintelligible, but it doesnt matter: Its the tone and pitch that delivers the message. The vocals are multi-tracked and female, low and smooth. Syllables are dragged out; there are a lot of wordless whoa-ohs. As the music explodes, the vocals never do much more than coo louder. They feel calm, a bit melancholy but a bit hopeful, woozy, languorous...full text
Swedish musicians have been hot for years now (QRO's Swedish Sensations), and everyone's all a-flutter about airy, electronic beauty these days, so when you get some airy, electronic beauty out of Sweden, you've got the makings of buzz. Stockholm duo I Break Horses have buzz in spades, having in their short time already crossed the North Sea for the U.K. (QRO photos of first U.K. tour) and now are on tour with couldn't-be-any-hotter-at-the-moment M83 (QRO live review). So it's the perfect time for a U.S. deluxe edition release of their debut Hearts, which is some nice airy, electronic beauty, if hardly revelatory (especially these days). From the brightening opener "Winter Beats" to big atmosphere finish "No Way Outro", Fredrik Balck and Maria Lindén use their synthesizers well. There is some variety on Hearts (not counting the only-added-to-justify-calling-it-deluxe' remixes at the end), including more fuzz to the title track, an eighties feel to "Wired", and a slow down to "I Kill Your Love, Baby!". But after the record reaches its emotional height with middle piece "Pulse", which puts a loss behind the sound, one feels a bit aired out during the simplistic "Cancer" and "Load Your Eyes" (though "Empty Bottles" does have an enchanting way about it)....full text
I Break Horses are upfront about their influences. They list My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive and Jesus and Mary Chain on their website and are signed to Cocteau Twins Robert Gutheries Bella Union label. Dream-pop, shoegaze, beautiful noise
whatever you want to call it. Its a well established genre at this point, and I Break Horses dont spend too much time trying to innovate. Instead they put all the best parts in a blender and use the pureed result to establish a very definite mood. This mood is the thing that makes Hearts, now reissued in a deluxe edition on I Kill Love and Bella Union, such a joy to listen to.The project started in Maria Lindéns bedroom, inhibited by the cold Swedish winters and her own love of solitude. She sought out drummer Fredrik Balck to fill in beats, and he happened to be a lyricist as well. And although the lyrics are largely too gauzy and whispery to be readily understood, Lindén douses them in emotion. Her vocals are largely the centerpiece of the album, even if they are mixed into the music rather than layered on top of it. Filling out the rest is combination of synthesizers, guitars, and various effects. Its a syrupy mess of sweetness that is somehow both dense and ethereal.
The album begins strongly with Winter Beats, driven by an impossibly strong vocal melody from Lindén. The opener dissolves seamlessly into the title track, which closes with what is perhaps one of the best hooks on the record. The rest of the album might be a little overshadowed by the two openers at first listen, but repeated plays allow what are well crafted songs to fully sink into the unconsciousness. Pulse and Cancer in particular have an emotional resonance that helps make this more than just a collection of songs.
With such an ecstatic quality to the sound, theres not a lot of overt darkness but its there. Some of the song titles (Cancer, Empty Bottles) suggest all is not pure happiness, and one of the albums most beautiful tracks is ironically named I Kill Your Love, Baby! While the songs are often majestic, theres a haunting, almost melancholic vibe throughout thats hard to pinpoint. It gives Hearts more depth than it at first seems.
Hearts reportedly took three years to finish and Lindén says it wont take as long next time. But hopefully theres nothing lost in picking up speed. Its probably no accident that a similar, several-years-in-the making record (My Bloody Valentines Loveless) turned out to be such a masterpiece (and big influence on I Break Horses). With the accelerated pace of music production these days, hearing something in which time was spent is extraordinary. If all goes well theyll only expand on the results in their next outing....full text

The facts & fiction on colds and fluThere is probably more folklore passed down through the generations about colds and flu than about any other types of illness. From when to prepare a big pot of homemade chicken soup to warnings about not venturing outside with wet hair, it's sometimes hard to separate fact from fiction. This pharmacist says Grandma was right… at least part of the time! As a holistic pharmacist, I hear many myths about colds and flu. To help you better understand these common ailments, here are the facts. Fiction. Being out in the cold weather or catching a chill does not cause a cold. Viruses cause colds. Most colds occur during the fall and winter because people spend more time indoors in close contact, sharing germs. Seasonal changes in relative humidity also may affect the prevalence of colds. The most common cold-causing viruses survive better when humidity is low, during the colder months of the year. There is some evidence that extreme temperatures can "stress" the body and that can hamper immune function. Cold weather also may make the lining inside your nose drier and more vulnerable to viral infection. Fact. Hand-washing, when done properly, can help prevent transmission of cold and flu viruses. Viruses enter our body through our mucus membranes (eyes, nose, mouth). If you touch a phone, doorknob, or other object right after someone who has a virus touches the same object, and if you rub your eyes, nose or mouth, you can contract that virus. Hand-washing helps protect you and others. Fiction. Antibiotics are of no value in treating a cold. The common cold is caused by a group of viruses called the rhinoviruses. Antibiotics are helpful for treating bacterial infections but they have no activity against viruses. If a person with a cold or flu develops a secondary bacterial infection, such as bronchitis, pneumonia or sinusitis, then an antibiotic may be necessary. Fiction. Many OTC cold/flu medications are associated with side effects and contraindications. For example, decongestants can cause a number of side effects, including racing heart, increased blood pressure, insomnia and worsening of health problems such as glaucoma and prostate disease. A safer alternative is to use a nasal wash, such as Alkalol, which contains botanical extracts and essential oils to dissolve mucus, relieve congestion and moisturize the nasal passages. Fact. Honey contains nutrients that lubricate and soothe the throat. Research has found buckwheat honey to be particularly helpful. Throat lozenges or drops can also help. Choose a product that contains natural ingredients such as glycerin and gum acacia, and one that is free of artificial dyes and gluten, such as Pine Brothers Softish Throat Drops. Fiction. This is an old wives' tale and there is not a shred of evidence to support this saying when facing a cold or flu. Many people lose their appetite with the flu, and you don't have to force yourself to eat, especially if your stomach is queasy, but it's very important to drink lots of fluids and stay hydrated when you have a cold or the flu. When you sweat, you lose fluids and run the risk of becoming dehydrated. Fact. This is a common recommendation by many mothers and grandmothers. and there is actually some science behind this home remedy. University of Nebraska researchers found that chicken soup has an anti-inflammatory effect, mobilizing the neutrophils and making them work a little bit better. It also keeps the mucus in the nose moving so that the virus, which sits in the nose, mobilizes faster and help speed recovery. Fiction. This is a common misconception. Some people coincidentally get the flu after they have the flu vaccine and they think that it was the culprit. It is impossible to catch the flu from a flu shot because the flu vaccine does not contain a "live" virus, but rather components of the flu virus that are killed. Possible side effects of the flu shot include low-grade fever and redness, pain and swelling at the injection site. If you suspect the onset of a cold or flu, it's also important to act quickly. It may be possible to minimize some symptoms if you catch them early enough. More health facts you should knowVaccine-free way to prevent the flu

Indian Government had allowed Sri Lankan Air Force personnel to undergo training in Tamil Nadu, but at present none of them are being trained in the state, government told the Rajya Sabha today.
In a written reply to a question, Defence Minister A K Antony said, "At present no personnel of the Sri Lankan Air Force is undergoing training in Tamil Nadu."
The Minister replied in the affirmative on whether government had allowed Sri Lankan Air Force personnel to undergo training in Tamil Nadu.
The training of the Lankan personnel by India came in the line of fire from political parties in Tamil Nadu over the issues of ethnic Tamils in Sri Lanka.
The Defence Minister further informed the House that, "The views expressed by various (political) parties have been considered by the government keeping in view all aspects of national interest."
Following the protest from various political parties, the under-training Lankan personnel were shifted to Bangalore.
Around 15 Sri Lankan trainees were undergoing various courses at the two airmen training institutions in Tambaram in Tamil Nadu when the controversy broke off. (PTI)

Plot Summary
Oscar® nominee Nick Nolte and Academy Award® winner Susan Sarandon star in this powerful and unforgettable drama based on a true story. For Augusto and Michaela Odone (Nolte and Sarandon), the news that their five-year-old son, Lorenzo, has a rare terminal disease is sobering, to learn there is no known cure is devastating. Despite the prognosis, the Odones embark on an extraordinary mission of love, consulting and sometimes colliding with the world's top doctors and scientists in the quest to save their son. Their relentless struggle tests their marriage, their beliefs and the boundaries of conventional medicine in this critically acclaimed hit from director George Miller (The Witches of Eastwick).

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: This film has an appealingly brisk, unsentimental style and a rare ability to compress and convey detailed medical data.
Fresh: There has never been a medical drama quite like Lorenzo's Oil. With indelible fervor, it captures the will - the need - to heal.
Fresh: Sarandon ... convincingly conveys a fierceness and tenacity that is almost frightening. The character never lets up, and neither does the film.
Fresh: Don't go to it for a Hollywood happy ending. Go to it to learn what it can take to be alive.
Customer Reviews
I can't believe anyone would pan this movie. Yes, there won't be a dry eye in the house, but the story is about a couple's TRIUMPH against all odds over a system that had virtually given up any hope of finding a cure for their son's disease. It's a true story, and living proof that refusing to take "no" for an answer, that striving onward when the supposed experts say you're wasting your time, is how brilliant discoveries are made. This is one of the best movies I've ever seen.
Good movie,Extremely Depressing.
extremely sad, but based on true story
this is the type of movie where after you watch it, you realize how bless you really are

PittPAY Payment Plan |
Enrollment in the PittPAY Payment Plan is optional. You may wait for your eBill to be posted in PittPAY and make payment in full by the due date on the eBill, or you may elect to enroll in the payment plan and pay in installments instead. The eBill and due date schedule is published on the Message Board in PittPAY. If you elect to enroll in a payment plan you will not receive eBills because you will be paying in installments that will be automatically deducted on the 5th of each month from the bank account or credit card you specify when enrolling in the payment plan.
Enrollment for payment plans is through PittPAY. The fall and spring term-related plans begin as early as May for fall term and November for spring term, and include from six to two installments. There is also an annual plan for both fall and spring terms that begins as early as May and includes up to 12 installments. The summer term plan has three installments beginning in May.
There is a $55 non-refundable enrollment fee for the fall, spring, and summer plans, and a $90 non-refundable enrollment fee for the annual plan (that encompasses both fall and spring terms). Students must owe more than $500 per term to qualify for enrollment.
Payments will be automatically deducted from the credit card or personal checking account you specify during the payment plan enrollment process in PittPAY. That means the credit card or personal checking account you identify will be automatically charged for the enrollment fee and for each monthly installment. Payment Plan installments can only be paid by automatic deduction, from a credit card or personal checking account. If you elect to pay by credit or debit card, you will be charged a non-refundable 2.75% service charge for each transaction. No fee is charged for payments made by eCheck from a personal checking account.
The enrollment fee will be deducted as soon as you complete the payment plan enrollment process. Each installment will be automatically deducted on the 5th of the month. You will not receive eBills in PittPAY if you are enrolled in a payment plan.
Since you can enroll in a fall or annual payment plan before the University has determined tuition, room and meal plan rates for a new academic year (this typically does not occur until mid-July), and you can enroll in a spring or summer plan before tuition and fees are calculated on your student account, the payment plan's budget calculator will assist you in determining your estimated payment plan budget. The amount of your early installments will be based on the estimated amounts you determine using the budget calculator and budget worksheet during the Payment Plan enrollment process.
Once the student is registered for classes for the term and has actual charges posted to the student account, we will automatically adjust your payment plan balance to match the amount due on the student account. We will subtract anticipated financial aid that has not yet applied to the student account in computing the adjusted amount of the actual payment plan balance.
We will check the student account shortly before the auto-debit each month and automatically adjust the amount of the remaining payment plan balance when the student has actual charges and payments posted to the student account. We will rebalance the remaining installments by dividing the actual student account balance, less anticipated financial aid, by the number of installments remaining.
Students will always be notified of any change we make to the payment plan balance and to the amount of remaining installments. Authorized Payers will be notified if they are the owner of the payment plan. In addition, during the enrollment process, the payment plan owner can designate if they wish any Authorized Payer to have access to see the plan details and/or receive emails from the plan. Students are notified to their Pitt email address and Authorized Payers are notified to the email address in their PittPAY User Preferences.
Once we have adjusted the payment plan balance to correspond to the student account, if an installment deduction is not successful you will be terminated from the payment plan. This might occur if a credit card transaction is declined, or an eCheck is returned for insufficient funds or the bank account is closed. You will also be charged a $30 non-refundable fee for each failed payment plan installment. If you wish to enroll in a new plan after this occurs, you will be charged another non-refundable enrollment fee.
Students who enroll in the payment plan will be the payment plan owner. Students can also create an Authorized Payer in PittPAY and that individual may log into PittPAY, using the login ID and password their student has assigned to them, and enroll their student in a payment plan. In that case the Authorized Payer will be the payment plan owner. All email notifications generated by payment plan activity are sent to the payment plan owner, and the student.
Students can have only one active payment plan for the academic period at a time. For example, a student may have only one fall plan or one annual plan for a specified academic year (two Authorized Payers may not each have a plan for the same student in the same academic period such as fall term).
To create an Authorized Payer, students log onto My Pitt, select PittPAY Login, then select Authorized Payer from the PittPAY menu and follow the instructions.
Please note that we cannot discuss any student account details with individuals who are not designated in PittPAY as the student's Authorized Payers.
To Enroll in a Payment Plan:
Students log onto My Pitt, select PittPAY Login, and then select Payment Plan from the PittPAY menu.
Authorized Payers log onto http://student-info.pitt.edu, then select Authorized Payers login to PittPAY. Enter the PittPAY login name and password your student assigned then select Payment Plan from the PittPAY menu.
To Change The Payment Method On a Payment Plan:
The Payment Plan owner has the ability to change the payment method. To do so, the owner should log into their PittPAY account, select Payment Plan, and then select View Details.
The information box shows the current Payment Method. Select Change Payment Method to change or update subsequent automatic payments.
Any changes or updates to the Payment Method must be completed no later than 1 calendar day before the date of the scheduled automatic installment payments. For example, a payment is scheduled for Tuesday October 5 and the Payment Plan owner would like to change the bank account that date's automatic installment payment will be drawn from. The Payment Plan owner must have changed the payment method by midnight Eastern Time on October 4 for the installment payment to be drawn from the new bank account instead of the old one.

If you are on a Payment Plan you will not receive eBills because your installments will be automatically debited on the 5th of each month.
If you do not elect to enroll in a Payment Plan you will receive eBill notifications each time a new eBill has been posted in PittPAY for your attention. Each eBill has a due date and payment will be expected to be made in full by that due date to avoid late payment fees.

The demolition of the Spectrum in Philadelphia on Tuesday marks the loss of yet another NHL arena that has provided some great hockey memories.
It was the scene of the Flyers' first Stanley Cup victory in 1974 - when the Broad Street Bullies upset the Big Bad Bruins to become the first expansion team to win hockey's Holy Grail.
The following year, the Flyers hosted the Russian Red Army team in a game that can be remembered by the famous quote, "They're going home!" When the Flyers played it tough, the Russians left the ice and the game was delayed until they returned.
Each NHL arena has its own charm and mystique. The old Chicago Stadium was considered by many to be the loudest arena in the league and the new United Center is not far behind. The Montreal Forum was said to be home of the ghosts of great players that donned the famous bleu, blanc et rouge and many feel they now reside in the Bell Centre.
Who can forget the original Stampede Corral in Calgary with the high boards and the fans right on top of the players? Or Maple Leaf Gardens with owner Harold Ballard looking on from his bunker?
Madison Square Garden in New York is commonly referred to as the world's most famous arena and fans in the 'blue seats' play a big part in that, especially when the Rangers host the Islanders; just ask Denis Potvin! In Vancouver, the atmosphere is electric at Rogers Arena when anthem singer Mark Donnelly holds up the mic and allows the fans to sing 'O Canada' at Canucks' games.
So here's Dave's question to you: "What is your favourite NHL arena, past or present?"
And here are the answers that Dave liked best:
Wayne in Toronto remembers: The cramped seating, long lineups to the washrooms and loud drunks in the greys -- you know by now I'm nominating Maple Leaf Gardens.
Scott in Montreal says: Many cities have buildings designed to host many events. The Bell Centre is designed to host hockey games, and does so better than any other.
John in Montreal says what I've heard from a lot of people who have visited all the current arenas: The Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota is two things a lot of others aren't -- beautiful and convenient.
Gene in Montreal picks: Chicago Stadium -- just for the organ.
And finally, since we're doing this game from Phoenix, there is this from Jeremy on the TSN/Facebook page: My favourite NHL arena will be the MTS Centre in Winnipeg.
Dave's reply to all:
You won't be surprised if I say I'm partial to rinks that don't exist anymore. Chicago Stadium was the best because it was the loudest. Maple Leaf Gardens was the best because it felt like home to me, and the Spectrum was the best because it didn't feel like home, and that's the way it was supposed to feel if you weren't a Flyer.
And then there was the Montreal Forum, which felt like the home of the Stanley Cup, and was our overwhelming Hodgemail winner. It was a place to behold when it was empty. It smelled like hockey -- the apple-red seats seemed freshly-painted for every game, and the ice glistened like no other. And when the Forum filled up and the hot dogs were steaming and the sounds of hockey came in two languages -- you felt more than glad to be there -- you felt privileged. In saying goodbye to the Forum during a TSN broadcast of the final game in March of 1996, I had the feeling that hockey would never be the same. But surely no arena was ever that important to the game, or maybe the Montreal Forum was.

"...perh. son of Benj., one of the Associates..."
"Genealogical Notices of the Settlers" by Samuel H. Congar in
"Proceedings Commemorative of the Settlement of Newark, NJ on its Two
Hundreth Anniversary May 17th, 1866" in "Collections of the NJ Hist Soc"
Vol VI- Supplement Newark, NJ: NJ Historical Soc., 1866.
Congar has this to say of the PARKHURST family:
"Benjamin PARKHURST of Elizabethtown, perh. son of Benj., one of the
Associates, in his w. 1721, n. ch. Benjamin, Samuel, John, Martha, Mary,
and Hannah; wi. Mary. Benjamin, had Jeniah, d. inf. and 7 daus; s. in 1.

Woodruff, wi. of Abner. Rev. Samuel, grad. Princeton, d. and bur. at
Blooming Grove, young; had Nathaniel, and Mary. Samuel d. 1783."
Another source says that Samuel PARKHURST came from Saybrook, CT before
the Revolution. That citation is History of Essex and Hudson Counties" by
William H. Shaw, Philadelphia, PA: Everts and Peck, 1884. In another
section of this book Shaw quotes all of Congar's material, however the
statement about CT was in a different section referring to PARKHURSTs
then living in Milburn, NJ.

First and foremost I want to cover the Heat's newest addition. According to his agent, PG Luther Head will sign with Miami today after he clears waivers. This is a great thing for many reasons. Assuming that his right foot injury that has kept him out of the Houston lineup since mid-January is behind him, Head will slide right into the backup point guard position. Granted, it will take him a little while to get into the swing of things; he'll have to learn Coach Spo's playbook, but for the immediate future he can carry the ball up count and provide the kind of D that we need off the bench. He can also shoot pretty decently. Nothing super special, but considering the job that Daequan and Quinn have been doing off the bench lately, any boost is welcomed.
Most importantly, this move will allow Dwyane Wade to play his position, not using the extra energy that it takes to bring the ball up court and penetrate. It's the point guards job to get the offense going and put the ball in the hands of our scorers, but when its Wade that is playing the point, the D knows exactly where to go, taking away many of Dwyane's options.
"My Buddy....My Buddy....Wherever i Go, You're Gonna Go"
On to tonight's game against the Phoenix Suns, who are coming off of a tough loss in Orlando last night in which they blew several leads and were outscored by 15 in the 4th quarter. Phoenix will be the 3rd straight team to play Miami on the 2nd night of a back-to-back.
The Suns are battling for the 8th playoff spot in the West despite being 8 games over .500, but have now dropped 4 of their last 5 on the road. Steve Nash has been in and out of the lineup over the past couple months with back and ankle problems, Jason Richardson has been inconsistent, and Shaq…well, if you have been reading my latest posts and comments then you should be well aware of my feelings on the big guy, so ill spare you.
One player who has been consistent for the Suns is Leandro Barbosa. He has been working hard on developing his jumper the past few seasons and its been paying off. He's shooting 48.4% this season from the field, and while he was coming off the bench for most of the season, has been starting for the past few weeks and should be lining up opposite Dwyane Wade tomorrow both for his offense and his stellar D.
Remember when I said that Mo Williams had only missed 10 free throws this year? Steve Nash has only missed 8 while taking 150.
It was earlier reported that D-Wade was taking treatment for his knee, but I wanted to reiterate that it's nothing major. Don't worry, he still plans on playing in all 82 games this year.
Wade also told reporters after yesterday's practice that the 7-game stretch since the All-Star break has been the best stretch of his career.
"It's the best I've played for a stretch," he said. "It's good on one point because it shows I'm getting stronger as the season goes on, but it's bad on one point because when you're playing this well you want to be winning."
That's what is great about Wade. He may be doing amazing, but if the team isn't….personal stats don't matter. Shaq could learn something from Dwyane.
The Suns are in the midst of a 3-game stretch playing against the Lakers, Magic and Heat. What is significant about that? They are all Shaq's former teams, and the big fella is calling it the 'Hate Shaq Tour'.
4th | Atlanta | 34-26 | -- |
5th | Miami | 31-28 | -2.5 |
6th | Detroit | 30-29 | -3.5 |
7th | Philadelphia | 29-30 | -4.5 |
8th | Milwaukee | 29-34 | -6.5 |
9th | New Jersey | 27-33 | -7.0 |
The Pistons got another big win, this time beating the Nuggets in Mo-Town. That's 3 in a row…coincidence that Rip Hamilton is back in the starting lineup? The Nets got a huge road win over Milwaukee and moved to within a half game of the 8 seed.
Another thanks to Kazam92 for the quick FanShot about Luther Head.

Light rain, maybe some mix, on Wednesday
A complicated but somewhat diffuse low-pressure system will sweep through the South and East over the next 36 hours, bringing periods of light rain with possibly some sleet and snow to Southwest Virginia. Without a solid feed of cold air in the lower layers of the atmosphere, the potential for wintry precipitation will not be maximized with this event for our region, though some periods of sleet and snow definitely cannot be ruled out, especially west of Interstate 81 and in elevations above 3,000 feet. Temperatures on this Tuesday night are in the 40s to low 50s after highs in the 50s to near 60s, and there do not appear to be strong mechanisms in place to trigger a large-scale temperature drop to near freezing throughout the atmosphere and across much of the region as we have seen in several recent wintry weather situations. But there may be just enough cold air to tap for some patchy sleet and wet snow to develop as rain moves in, especially near the front and back ends on Wednesday morning and again Wednesday evening. In any event, we are not talking about large amounts of precipitation, as evening balloon soundings show very dry air from 1 to 2 miles up over Blacksburg. As is often the case, our region may be caught between the stronger flow of Gulf of Mexico moisture to the south and the stronger system dynamics to the northwest. The Hydrometeorological Prediction Center is projecting only 0.10 to 0.25 inch of liquid for most of the region east of Interstate 77 over the next 24 hours. If it were all snow and it all stuck, that would only be 1 to 2.5 inches, presuming a 10:1 ratio … and it almost certainly will not be all snow, and even if it were, it definitely would not all stick, and it likely will be too warm aloft for a 10:1 ratio. So this looks to be more of a nuisance event rather than anything with high impact, but beware if traveling into higher elevations or west and northwest toward West Virginia, where the impact could be much greater with a few inches of snow possible. We will keep an eye out for surprises, even localized ones, as we've had a track record of these in small wintry precipitation situations dating back to late December.
Regarding the weekend … you may see lots of chitter-chatter out there in the virtual realm about the potential storm disappearing or re-appearing on the models. For Southwest Virginia interests, I think it's very likely that we will NOT experience a major winter storm (widespread 8+ inches) and that any strong low that forms will develop too late, off shore or too far to the north. However, it is quite possible that a "shortwave" trough moving around the larger trough will trigger some level of precipitation — leaning to snow at this point — over the weekend. Often in this region, we experience light to moderate precipitation from a disturbance moving through on its way to blowing up a larger storm system farther east or north. This is what I think is far more likely than experiencing a major storm, and why I haven't dropped off the weekend potential just yet. Neither has the HPC, showing at least light precipitation amounts widespread for the weekend.

World traveler and artist Malaya Quinn and her teenage daughter, Grace, have been living in northern California for the last 13 years, but they are beginning to feel a little restless and in need of a change of scenery. In a past visit to the Yucatan, they were really taken by the town of Merida — so much so that they have decided to move down there and buy a place. Enter real estate agent Paula Sievert, who is pretty confident that she can find a small Colonial within their budget in the historic part of Merida.

Even though there are guards...
Even though there are guards all over with automatic weapons inside the park and there are military installations nearby, busses heading to and from Tikal are still robbed occasionally. The day that I left Tikal banditos stopped another bus and robbed everyone at gunpoint. They also took several of the women off the bus and raped them. In June a group that is still owed money from the government blocked all roads into Tikal, trapping many people there for a few days. They also took over the airport in Flores and I think they held several busloads of visitors hostage for a few days.
those are the adises of the...
those are the adises of the Swiss bureau of foreign affairs about Guatemala in German. Translation into english follow as soon as i have time.
Guatemala zählt zu den Ländern mit der höchsten Kriminalitätsrate in Lateinamerika.
Taschendiebstähle und Gewaltverbrechen werden im ganzen Land verübt. Überfälle
und Sexualdelikte ereignen sich auch am hellichten Tag, wobei selbst Reisegruppen
nicht verschont bleiben. Auf Unterstützung durch die Polizei ist nicht immer Verlass.
Beachten Sie unter anderem folgende Vorsichtsmassnahmen:
Tragen Sie keine Wertgegenstände (Schmuck, Uhren, teure Kameras), keinen
Modeschmuck und nur wenig Geld auf sich.
Händigen Sie bei einem Überfall die geforderten Gegenstände widerstandslos
aus, denn die Gewaltbereitschaft ist hoch.
Begeben Sie sich nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit nicht auf die Strasse.
Auf vielen Hauptverbindungsstrassen operieren straff organisierte und extrem
gewalttätige Banden. Überfälle auf Busse in und ausserhalb der Städte sind an
der Tagesordnung. Unternehmen Sie nachts und während der
Stosszeiten keine Überlandfahrten.
Nach dem Geldwechseln bei Banken besteht erhöhte Diebstahlgefahr: seien
Sie in solchen Momenten besonders wachsam.
In der Hauptstadt finden die meisten Raubüberfälle auf Touristen im Stadtkern,
Zone 1 und Umgebung, statt. Als sehr unsicher gilt der Busbahnhof in der Zone
4. Aber auch in den besser situierten Residenz- und Geschäftszonen 9, 10, 12,
14 und 15 kommen Überfälle vor.
Das ganze Departement Petén wird als gefährlich eingestuft. Im Nationalpark
Tikal, in der Nähe von El Remate und im Biotop Cerro Cahui wurden mehrere
gewalttätige Überfälle auf Touristen (auch Vergewaltigungen) gemeldet. Dort ist
daher äusserste Vorsicht geboten. Besuchen Sie die Maya-Ruinen sowie die
Naturschutzgebiete nur in Gruppen und in Begleitung eines offiziellen Führers
und reisen Sie im Flugzeug hin und zurück (Tourbus bis zu den Ruinen).
Als besonders gefährlich gelten ebenfalls folgende Gebiete: Cerro de la Cruz
ausserhalb von Antigua, die Ruinen von Quirigua, die transamerikanische
Strasse (Carretera Panamericana) von der Hauptstadt bis zum
Atitlansee, sowie die Gegend in und um Panajachel. Tecún Umán, die
wichtigste Grenzstadt zu Mexiko, gilt als Kriminellen-Hochburg.
Besteigen Sie Vulkane, speziell die beliebten Pacaya und Agua,
ausschliesslich in Gruppen und in Begleitung eines lokalen Reiseführers.
Frauen wird davon abgeraten, das Land alleine zu bereisen -
There are many brochures...
There are many brochures extolling the virtues of climbing one of Guatemala's many volcanos. What they don't tell you is that such an activity can be very dangerous. There have been several incidents of guides being in cahoots with bandits. The guide will lead a group up a volcano and then suddenly disapear. The bandits will arrive and steal everything from the group, including (in some reported cases) their clothes. Make sure that if you do climb a volcano, you use a guide from a reputable company - and be careful!
I was there 10 years ago and...
I was there 10 years ago and they will probably still be talking about a rape that happend 15 years ago on the way up to Pacya. Just remember traveling can be dangerous and your guide is not paid to take a bullet or knifing for you. what ever you do do not get involved with any politics, not smart.
Well, this may be less of a...
Well, this may be less of a problem now...but when we were there, our bus was stopped by the police (my what big guns you have) and were asked to step out without our stuff. They rifled through our bags and let us go. The year prior, the bus driver of the same group got held up by the men. The director said it was pretty scary. The year after I went, some girls from a nearby school to me in Maryland went on a similar bus tour, and were raped. Do me a favor--DO not go by yourself, and try and get on a tour. I am pretty fearless, but I have some sanity. Again, it may have changed, so this maybe outdated!
Though the Guatemaltecos are...
Though the Guatemaltecos are extremely kind, there are some people after your money too. When I was travelling through this country I spoke to many people who had been robbed or threatened. I think it's advisable not to look 'gringo' (rich and western)
While I've felt relatively...
While I've felt relatively safe in Guatemala one must always be careful. Do not flash money and generally it is best not to give the impression you are rich. I generally prefer to travel with a native and have hired a guide or driver for a day. Now the caution: a friend of mine from Guatemala had her cousin kidnapped and killed recently -- the kidnappers demanded a ransom and killed him when they received none. This might happen in London or New York City so I do not wish to 'label' Guatemala but it points out the need to always be alert.
WE were told by everyone,...
WE were told by everyone, including cab drivers, the Guatemala city is NOT safe. It did not feel safe.
Antigua was diferent and quite safe. So was Flores Island. However, we were constantly told about the risks at secluded places like hiking the volcanos. Go with a reputable firm and they will contact the government for escort to the volcanos. We just trusted our gut and played it very safe, unlike other trips where we feel confident venturing everywhere. -
Be very careful of the FOOD! ...
Be very careful of the FOOD! I got extremly sick with Ameoboas! 7 of us did from the food and water, and we were told that it's unavoidable, if you have a strong stomach you might not feel the effects, but I definately will never go back because of it!
Usually it is not hard to get...
Usually it is not hard to get a visa to Guatemala. Before you go it is recommended to get vaccinated, because
Guatemala is a tropical Land and has a lot of Tropical forests (Malaria, etc.). When you get there: By air Try using the Airport Shuttle to your hotel, or use a taxi.
Guatemala City is a large City, so you will have to take the precautions you normally take in a large city.
If you can avoid eating foods which are not prepared in a good restaurant it is better, you don't know how it is made. And when you travel into the country rent your own car or go by plane or on a tourist bus offered in the hotel. The other services are not so reliable, cheap, but not reliable. You don't have to worry talking to police officers or any other official, they are not corrupt. -
Not that it happens a lot but,...
Not that it happens a lot but, just because your tour-guides have guns on your trip into the jugle, it doesn't mean they will use it when in trouble. Word around is that they run faster than pumas...
These are the stairs you have...
These are the stairs you have to climb up and what some people seem to forget .... go down (which I think is worse) to reach the top of the temples. Boy they are steep and narrow.
