The trail splits in two by the viewing tower and runs through the bare fens towards the forest. The two braches form a loop, which can be covered in about 2 to 3 hours. There are different viewing towers by the trail. And it is great to have a refreshing picnic by the lake after a good walk on the trail!

Ultra Plus HE Powder Laundry Detergent, 275 Loads, $15.99, free store pickup @ Sears (use up expiring SYW points)
It is actually 550 loads if you have an HE washing machine, since you will only need to use half the scoop of detergent.
Before the same questions are asked: 1) If you wash your clothes in cold water, you have to use cold water detergents, since they are formulated for lower operating temperature. Regular detergents simply don't work as intended in cold water, not just this one. 2) If you have residue on your clothes, you use too much or water was not warm enough. (Run the nearest faucet until you get hot water before starting the wash). 3) Amount of suds generated by the detergent is NOT an indication of its effectiveness. 4) This detergent has very little or no fragrance at all. 5) If you want to spend more on brand name detergent that has become ghetto currency, feel free to do so, but they are very close in performance at 1/3rd the cost. 6 TV's in the house with Verizon FiOS and we only pay $4.99/month to connect all 6 of them. Thanks to Ceton InfiniTV and Windows Media Center.
ANY detergent that is not specifically formulated for cold water has to be used in warm water. The surfactants and enzymes in the detergent are performing at their best at a certain temperature range. They either don't work, or diminish their effectiveness when used outside of the recommended temperatures. |

GAINESVILLE — The Gainesville Leopards finished the first half of district play undefeated after easily defeating the Sanger Indians 47-27 Friday night.
Gainesville (12-6 overall, 4-0 district) dominated from the beginning, racing out to an 11-2 lead in the first quarter thanks to early 3-pointers from Demetrius Franklin, David Moore and Jonathan Mendez.
The Leopards then scored the first nine points of the second quarter to push their lead to 20-2. De'Quan Wilford, Chance Sikes and Moore all had field goals, while Mendez hit another three for the Leopards.
Sanger (13-14, 2-2) went more than 10 minutes without a point as the Leopards built their 18-point lead.
The Indians did score back-to-back buckets in the final two minutes, but still trailed 22-6 at halftime.
Sanger scored the first four points of the third period as Gainesville went five minutes without a point. Franklin finally got the Leopards on the scoreboard with a pair of free throws that made it 24-10. Those would be the only points the Leopards would score in the period, even missing a layup in the final second of the quarter.
Gainesville finally got their offense going in the fourth period thanks to 13 points from Denzel Johnson, who finished with 18 points in the game.
Sanger got as close as 11 (26-15) early in the final quarter after a 3-pointer from Jake Stastny, but Johnson answered with the first of his three 3-pointers in the quarter and the Leopards cruised from there. They led by as many as 25 before finishing with the 20-point win.
In addition to Johnson's 18 points, Moore added 10, Mendez had 8, Franklin scored 5, Wilford had 3 and Sikes added 2.

Comments about Ray-Ban 5255 2126 Brown Opaline Violet:
I love these! They are my first pair of glasses, and I got them on a promotion and ended up paying only the shipping and handling, which was [$]. I live in the US and they were deliver exactly 5 days after I placed my order. They only problem that I have with them is that they feel alittle small probably because I have a big head, but they are gorgeous and totally worth the buy!

SYDNEY, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Australian rail operator Asciano said union workers had begun a two-day strike over wage demands that will prevent 600,000 tonnes of coal from reaching port.
The Rail Tram and Bus Union announced plans for the industrial action earlier this week after refusing Asciano subsidiary Pacific National Coal's latest wage offer in New South Wales, where the company hauls 80 percent of the coal produced in the state.
'It needs to be understood that the 600,000 tonnes of delivered coal lost as a result of this action cannot be recovered in the future,' Pacific National Coal director David Irwin said in a statement.
'New South Wales coal chains operate at maximum capacity every day of the week, meaning these losses are real,' he said.
Pacific National's major customers include Xstrata and Whitehaven Coal.
The action is scheduled to end at 0100 GMT on Feb. 10.
The Port of Newcastle in New South Wales is the world's largest export terminal for coal.
Australia's thermal coal production is forecast to rise 10 percent in fiscal 2013 to 246 million tonnes, according to Australia's Bureau of Resources and Energy Economics.
Pacific National expects the union action to affect up to 40 trains carrying more than 300,000 tonnes of coal a day worth more than $25 million a day at current prices.

SANTONIO HOLMES WILL HAVE A SECOND SURGERY IN FEBRUARY. NO TIME TABLE FOR RETURN OF TONE TIME LINDEN, N.J. -- Santonio Holmes is miles from the home stretch of returning from a season-ending left leg injury.It won't be until April -- best case scenario -- that Holmes will be able to being running as he told members of the media in his first appearance since suffering Lisfranc injury to his left foot at the start of the fourth quarter in Week 4's 34-0 loss to the San Francisco 49ers."I knew the minute I didn't get off the ground that...

Does anyone know if the Hunter Edition really does anything for you other than keep you from playing a bit before you unlock everything? Some items indicated "Day 1" access, while others were simply listed. This potentially implies that those features (such as walking silently in hunter mode) are not available without the Hunter Edition or Deluxe Edition.
physx card mostly just sucks up power in my rig. I haven't played (or even had installed) boderlands2 or batman2 in months. i do love physx, but not a big deal at all. After seven years of SD, I've come to conclude that Slickdealers are protein-powder guzzling, pistol packing, cheap-ass video game nerds.

I came late to the Crysis party with Crysis 2 (still haven't played the original) and thought it was awesome. Great graphics, fun gameplay, fast thinking required, etc. It soon became one of my favorite MP games. Enter Crysis 3. What a shitetfest. Like gambling, one game is great, most of the others suck. That one great game and experience keeps you coming back to try to capture that feeling this game had the potential to bring. The lag is horrendous (or is it the programming - who knows). I had a MP error tonight, "Corrupt Context." Really? I've kicked ass on a round and had my kill streak guns disappear...in fact all my guns disappeared including the reticle. I've had to kill people by jumping high and stomping them during that life and killstreak. I've had entire matches with the sound muffled because at one point I went into cloak and it carried throughout the match. The bolded comment of the guy (or gal) above is also a constant theme and problematic theme...almost every one of three matches, maybe every other. Minor annoyances include auto armor (keeps noob status), the separation of stealth and armor energies, and some perks that aren't as cool. Not as game breaking as the game itself. In summary, Crysis 2 (my first Crysis experience) was one of the best MP experiences I had in a long time and Crysis 3 rivals that of Brink...no exaggeration - it's so bad that some game types are already a graveyard. I hate to say this but I wouldn't recommend you buy this with someone else's money. To be fair, I've only played a couple of chapters/acts of the campaign (and thought it was typical awesome Crysis) but this game treats MP as ketchup would treat lobster. MP fans steer clear.

So it seems, i think i had PCIE x8 on my old Computer.
Whats the difference between them?
I guess the PCIE x1 slots are the lamest around?
Do you think my motherboard is at least acceptable, or lame due to this?
I sort of hate it that it has just two RAM slots. could have anned more, even if i dont need more than 4.

Norton told me that an attack on my computer was blocked after I logged in.
Been using Firefox and getting that pop-ups are being blocked. However, once or twice I have received that warning. I close the browser and reopen and don't get it. But I also get a warning on my scans after that happens. I guess I will write down what it stays and email Lou about it the next time it happens.

Safari is normally pretty good. If you are using a Mac, I think it should be pretty safe. I have never heard of someone using a Mac getting a virus.

A-ha! So it's not just me, it's been blocking me for a while now, I had to remove my "SmartScreen filter" at home in order to even see the page.
Forget about logging on from work, ESET tells me no can do and doesn't even load the page. It tells me it's been quarantined.
I emailed Lou on the 10th, I guess the virus is still kicking around. From what I Googled, it's on the server where this site is hosted (unless I completely misunderstood, which is possible, this computer stuff makes me glaze over).
Thanks for letting me know about this. I have been looking into it and I can assure you that the site IS safe, but for some reason something is triggering an alert on some anti-virus and security software packages. We're investigating this further, (as it's likely a simple patch)
Tell me please:
- Is it the ENTIRE site or just the forums?
- Is it just Firefox?
- Are the popups just coming from this site? Is it the forums only?

Lou-as I just signed on I just won!!! I was the 100,000 visitor to this site!
All I'd have to do is click to find out more, obviously I didn't. It has taken over the entire LINK box on the right side of the main forum page.
Also I got a pop up as I signed on for an outside advertising. Covered the main page.
I have had this both on Fire Fox and IE, nothing wrong happens on my
I-Touch. I run McAfee if that is any help.
I use Microsoft ForeFront Client Security for my anti-virus stuff. Tend to use FireFox for the browser and it will come up occasionally. I wish I had copied exactly what it said. I will try to remember again exactly what it says before I do the scan.

Unlike a pirate-ship kitchen, The Shrunken Head lets its visitors munch on a variety of veggie-friendly, locally sourced, and organic items that aren't served with a side of gunpowder. Breakfast is served on weekdays until 11 a.m. and until 3 p.m. on weekends. Start the day off with an organic cappuccino ($3.25, $3.75) and The Big Lebowski's platter of two buttermilk pancakes topped with eggs ($5.50), which provides much more energy than you'd get sucking on a D-cell battery. The lunch and dinner menu features local farm meats, organic milk, local bread, and space spices that are delivered daily via teleportation. Try a fiery volcano burger with jalapeños and Montezuma chipotle-barbecue sauce ($8.75), a French-brie bagel sandwich ($6.50), or a hummus plate with olive oil and pitas ($6.25). Patrons can also soak in The Shrunken Head's tiki-bar vibe and kick back on a scenic outdoor deck that doesn't encroach on the borders of any local jungle tribes.
By promoting live music in the Columbus community and educating students of all ages and abilities, The Jazz Arts Group brings together thousands of professional and aspiring musicians each year to revel in the joys of jazz music. Workshops in the spring of 2011 will include an exploration of the style and impact of several timeless musicians, including Chet Baker and the Dave Brubeck Quartet in the Cool Jazz on the West Coast class. In The Birth of the Cool class, students will explore the intricacies and instrumentation of cool-jazz innovators, such as Miles Davis and his tenor-saxophone sidekick J. Edgar Hoover. The two-part Jazz and Poetry workshop will help students discover the relationship between the rhythmic styles of jazz and poetry, and then let them create their own poems to be performed while accompanied by a live jazz trio.
The oldest surviving theater in central Ohio, the fin de siècle elegance of the Southern Theatre's jewel-box auditorium transports audiences back to the days of vaudeville antics and silver-screen spectacle. Built in 1896 to state-of-the-art standards, the theater's bandshell-esque proscenium bucked architectural norms to funnel sound to the seats. Its 204 light bulbs required that the theater generate its own electricity for years, until scientists finally found the power outlets. Before the show, audiences can feast on the recently restored auditorium's eye candy, which includes a gilded ceiling etched with reclining figures and majestic arches that help the eye dance throughout.

"College students who use Facebook have significantly lower grade point averages than those who do not, according to a new study." —news item
Tuesday in chemistry class Dr. Fleischman says he's giving us a quiz on inert gases. I think, "I have so got this knocked, because the answer is 'I am argon.'" I'm impulsive, and I talk a lot when I'm nervous, but I have a core of kindness that draws others to me—argon, right? And then he passes the quiz out, and there's nothing about my qualities on the whole thing.
Dr. Fleischman notices that his student evaluations aren't very good. Maybe that's because he gives such dumb quizzes.
But that night this really special thing happens. I'm walking past the library, and the doors are open, and there's this golden kind of light coming out of them and falling on the library steps, almost like it's beckoning to me. Also, next to the doors, there's a statue of a famous smart guy from history, and his face is all lined with wisdom, and you can tell he had a great life because he knew so much. It's this very cool moment. So I become a fan of the doors, the light, the steps, and the smart guy, and then I go to Jeremy's party.
Jeremy's party is pretty good. I give Kevin Grady a One Night Stand using Long Island Iced Teas.
Kevin Grady would be a much more inert gas than he thinks he would be.
Friday morning I start doing my European History paper, but I stop after a few minutes, because this is a time in my life when there's so much going on, and I have to balance. My friends are important too. I have 1,785 friends.
So, I go outside, and Nick, Bethany, and Sara are in the quad. They're talking about bosons, which is this completely confusing thing we're covering in physics. Bethany says, "So two bosons can occupy the same space, right?" And Nick says, "Yeah, if they have the same energy." Sara says, "Wait, I still don't get it." Then there are six more comments, but I don't listen to them, and then Sara says, "You guys, this is great! I finally understand bosons!"
Tomorrow is econ class. I will / will not attend.

The Big Picture For The Week Of June 18, 2006
I have pouring over Jay Walkers June 14th posting about how poorly individual investors time the market. Ouch! I resemble those remarks! The first step in correcting a problem is recognizing it. It almost seems as if we (John Q Public) should be buying the opposite of what the market is doing. I guess the problem is knowing when the market (other investors) are acting in a reasonable manner. What do you use to judge if a buying spree is overdone?
Wheesh, a lot of meat on the bone here in Jay's post and the question.
One part of this debate (I hope you did read Jay's post) has to be the understanding that you will be wrong some portion of the time. This is an absolute certainty. It is just as certain that you will get some right.
Jay cites some work that yields excellent results by being contrarian and using mutual fund flow as the indicator. Before you change your style based on this method, haven't we all seen studies cited that show just about every single approach beats the market? Be contrarian? The trend is your friend. Both are valid and can work. Going with the trend worked for the first four months of the year. Being a contrarian started to work best on May 10th.
This starts to get into the realm of data mining and will confuse the issue for many do-it-yourselfers.
With the caveat that you can't stop studying stocks you own and you have to be willing to sell any thing that you own, stocks of good companies tend to go up. Markets tend to go up; in fact the US market has an up year 72% of the time. Earlier this week I mentioned that in the last ten years the S&P 500 is up 84%. From June 1986 to June 1996 the market was up 170%.
The point of that last paragraph is to give some 30,000 foot perspective about how stock markets work. The context here is that people too often succumb to emotion. There is comfort in selling a lot of stock after the market has declined and getting back in when things are better.
I have tried to convey what I think is my systematic approach for reducing exposure. Despite some critical comments left, I neither look to sell into strength nor weakness, that is more about shorter term trading. In critiquing the sales I made, some were into strength and a couple were into weakness. It might be a while before I know the extent to which the sales were smart or dumb.
For long-term portfolio management I want to stay as fully invested as is prudent. Trying to out-nimble a small drop is difficult and has a good chance of leading to whipsaw. Despite whatever emotion you might be feeling,the market is only down a little, my cash level is in the high teens to low 20's (percentage-wise) depending on the client. This is far from an everyone in the bunker mindset. I'll reduce more exposure if I think the market is likely to get worse.
The strategy I use is the one I outlined in the first few posts on this site in 2004. I am simply sticking to my plan. I write time and again about picking a plan of action for your portfolio (hopefully at a time when you are not very emotional) and then just sticking to it. My goal is to miss big chunks of down a lot and be in there the rest of the time.
If your approach involves more trading, fine, but hopefully you have some basis to expect some success. You may not be able to control how often you are right versus wrong but you can control the extent to which you stay disciplined to your plan. Obviously you need to make some changes if you are never right.
I'm not sure I have answered the question very well but trying to grope around for a better mousetrap during a panic of some magnitude is probably the wrong thing to do.

A Radical Rx for the Jitters
By BILL ALPERT
ARE THE CHOPPY MARKETS OF RECENT MONTHS A sailor's delight or a storm warning? The crosswinds have startled investors who'd been lulled by a four-year decline in volatility -- the measure of how much stock prices zig and zag. In broken movements, the Nasdaq fell a jagged 14% from its April levels, while the Dow and the S&P 500 bounded down 8% from their May heights. Volatility barometers like the Chicago Board Options Exchange's VIX index have doubled within the past month.
Finance researcher Robert A. Haugen says that America should batten down for a typhoon of stock-market volatility. The market could cause a national catastrophe of apocalyptic proportions, he warns, adding: "The danger posed by the stock market is steadily increasing as time goes by."

I am working hard at my own particular strategy of portfolio management. I have drawn from a lot of different investment philosophies to develop this.
Simply put, I listen to my own portfolio to determine whether to be adding new investments or moving to cash.
I have a maximum of 25 positions and a minimum of 6. 12 positions is neutral and where I believe an average investor should start.
Using internally generated signals...that is bad news meaning sales on declining prices, and good news meaning partial sales on appreciation of individual holdings, I avoid using proceeds to add positions on bad news; and do use proceeds to add new positions on good news.
Kind of takes the emotion out of the process!
Anyhow, just another thought on dealing with volatile markets in an unemotional, pre-planned fashion.
Thanks for the great blog!

The 30,000 foot concept is some sort of discipline. That you use a different mouse trap is less important than knowing at times it is better to protect capital as opposed to worrying about growing it. - 1:00 PM

Cacti are generally desert plants, but one type—prickly pear—thrives across most of the U.S. and even into Canada. Cactus isn't for everyone—those spines really do hurt—but if you're looking for a beautiful, low-maintenance, tough-as-nails plant that will take over a sunny, dry patch in your yard, and you don't have pets or children to worry about, consider prickly pear. The most common species of prickly pear have bright yellow summer flowers and purple-red fruits in the fall. The edible fruits are used to make jellies and candies. The pads or cladodes are also edible, and are widely used in Mexican and Southwestern cooking (called nopalitos when prepared).
Common name: prickly pear Botanical name: Opuntia spp. Plant type: Perennial, succulent Zones: 3 to 12, depending on speciesHeight: 1 foot Family: Cactaceae
Growing conditions · Sun: Full sun· Soil: Rocky, sandy, poor· Moisture: Dry
Care· Mulch: None needed.· Pruning: None needed.· Fertilizer: None needed.
Propagation · By seed (with difficulty) · By cuttings: Cut pad at joint, dry for a week, then plant in garden or potting mix.
Pests and diseases · Mealybugs, scale insects · Various rots (caused by poor drainage or too much water), viruses, black spot
Garden notes · Prickly pear looks great in rock gardens, dry prairies, and gravel or sand patches. · Blooms June-July. · The pads or cladodes, which are not technically leaves but stems modified to store water, shrivel in the winter but plump up again in spring. · If prickly pear finds a favorable spot, it may colonize. In the wild, plants spread by pads that break off and root. · Beware of the spines! Prickly pear has large spines and, at the base of these, clusters of much smaller spines, called glochids, that are hard to see but very painful and difficult to remove once they're in your skin. · Prickly pear is so common in some areas that it's considered weedy or invasive.
Cultivars · Cultivars of prickly pear are hard to find in the nursery trade.
All in the family · No matter where you live, there's a prickly pear for your climate. Brittle prickly pear (Opuntia fragilis) grows in every state west of the Mississippi. Devil's tongue or eastern prickly pear (O. humifusa, also O. compressa) ranges from the East Coast to Nevada and from Canada to Florida. · Cold-hardy prickly pear include those mentioned above, as well as O. macrorhiza and grizzly bear prickly pear (O. phaeacantha var. erinacea). · Prickly pear species for desert environments include Engelmann's prickly pear (O. engelmannii), pancake or flapjack prickly pear (O. chlorotica), and Santa Rita prickly pear (O. santa-rita). · Some references have prickly pear sharing the Opuntia genus with another (even less friendly) cactus: the cholla. Other references group chollas into their own genus, called Cylindropuntia. Species such as buckhorn cholla (O. acanthocarpa v. major), staghorn cholla (O. versicolor), and teddybear cholla (O. bigelovii) thrive in the arid Southwest, adding beauty but also pain for the unwary or clumsy visitor.

General Information Regarding Accommodations
Students are responsible for providing documentation of a disability to OSDS that meets stringent criteria. Documentation is then reviewed, and based on student eligibility, accommodations are determined. Once accommodations have been determined by OSDS, "Accommodation Letters" are given to the student (one to keep for him or herself and one to give to each instructor). Every student is told to make an appointment with their instructors, share their accommodation letter with the instructors, and discuss how those accommodations will be implemented. The instructor is not obligated to allow accommodations unless this is done.

What are the laws that mandate services for students with disabilities at the postsecondary level?
In accordance with federal law, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act of 2008, the university must provide reasonable accommodations, auxiliary aids and services to qualified students with disabilities. In addition, all faculty and teaching staff have a responsibility to ensure that each course is accessible. This accessibility is essential and should be considered in the forefront of course and technological planning.
Top of Page
Who determines accommodations for students with disabilities?
The Office of Student Disability Services (OSDS) has been designated by the university to verify and determine appropriate accommodations, auxiliary aids and services for qualified students. Instructors are not responsible for determining academic accommodations, but they must comply with federal law by providing the accommodation(s) to qualified students.
Top of Page
How do I know that a student is qualified for academic accommodations?
Students should pick up their accommodation letters from the OSDS at the beginning of each semester, make an appointment with their instructors, and share their accommodation letters during the scheduled meeting. A discussion should take place between the student and instructor so each party understands what accommodations are needed for a particular class and how accommodations will be provided.
Students are usually your best resource in determining how to provide an accommodation for a specific class. Do not hesitate to contact the Office of Student Disability Services for confirmation of the accommodation or further consultation on the specifics of how to accommodate the student. You may also have some innovative ways to provide an accommodation for the specific class you teach.
Top of Page
Are students required to identify their disability or provide copies of disability documentation to faculty?
No. Students are not required to disclose their disability or provide faculty with copies of their disability documentation. Students requesting accommodations are only required to give instructors their letter of accommodation from the OSDS and discuss how accommodations will be implemented.
Top of Page
Is a student's disability confidential?
Yes. Disability information is confidential and should never be discussed or referred to in front of classmates or other individuals. When disclosing their disabilities, students expect that confidentiality will be maintained. Any information regarding the disability will be housed in a client file in the Office of Student Disability Services.
Top of Page
Should I place a statement on my syllabus to notify students about the Office of Disability Services?
Yes. The university is obligated to notify all students of services available. You may include a statement on your class syllabus inviting students to contact the Office of Student Disability Services for information regarding accommodations and services for a disability. A sample statement might read:
If you are a student with a documented disability in need of accommodations to fully participate in this class, please contact the Office of Student Disability Services (OSDS). All accommodations must be approved through OSDS. Please stop by Ninth Street Hall, Room 2006, or call 217-581-6583 to make an appointment.Top of Page
Do students with disabilities have an unfair advantage over other students?
Accommodations do not give students with a disability an advantage, but do minimize the impact of a disability by providing students an equal opportunity to learn and demonstrate mastery of information.
Top of Page
What are typical academic accommodations and how do I provide them?
Accommodations may include testing accommodations such as: extended test time, separate testing environment, use of computer, scribe (someone to write for the student), or a test reader. Other academic accommodations may include a voluntary peer note taker, visual instructional materials at the beginning of the class, use of a spell checker or calculator, tape recorder, or circling answers on tests rather than using scantron forms.
If a student has a note taker as an accommodation, faculty should ask for a volunteer from the class to share their notes. Faculty can give the volunteer's name to OSDS, who will prepare a letter of appreciation for the student's portfolio.
Top of Page
Testing Accommodations
Students with disabilities may require testing accommodations to minimize the adverse effects of a disability. These accommodations are determined by the Office of Student Disability Services (OSDS) and are coordinated by instructors through their departments. In the absence of a testing center for students with disabilities, academic departments are encouraged to develop a protocol for providing legally mandated accommodations for students with disabilities. OSDS staff are available to answer any questions faculty and administrators have about this process.
Based upon the extent of the student's disability, the most common testing accommodations include the use of a reader, a scribe, appropriate extended time, separate testing environment, use of a computer, assistive technology and/or adaptive equipment.
Following are descriptions of the most common testing accommodations:
Test Reader — The student requires the test in an oral format. You, or a designated reader, may read the test questions to the student, tape record the test and allow the student to listen to the questions, or provide text to speech software to read the test from a computer. Testing Computer Stations may be located by clicking here.
Test Scribe — The student requires a scribe to document test answers or should be allowed to answer test questions verbally.
Extended Time — The student requires extended time on all tests and quizzes. The extended time may be for time and one half, double time, or more if determined appropriate by OSDS. If it is necessary to relocate the student in order to implement this accommodation, the new location should be as free as possible from distractions. The hallway is not an appropriate alternate testing environment.
Separate Testing Environment — This student will require an individual test site in which to complete tests. This site must be as free as possible from distractions. The hallway is not an appropriate alternate testing environment.
Use of Computer — The student should be allowed to use his personal laptop or a computer provided by the academic department or university to type answers to essay tests and for in-class written assignments.
Assistive Technology — The student may require assistive technology to answer test questions. The specific technology would be listed on the student's accommodation letter and it would be provided by the student or the university.
Adaptive Equipment — The student may require specific adaptive equipment to take tests. The specific equipment would be listed on the student's accommodation letter and it would be provided by the student or the university.
The above list is not exhaustive. Because all accommodations are determined on an individual case-by-case basis, you may see additions and variations to this list.
Top of Page
What are instructors' responsibilities to ensure students with print disabilities have accessible materials?
Textbooks and other instructional materials must be converted to an alternate format for students who have difficulty reading due to a visual impairment, learning disability or another disability affecting their ability to read. For these students to have equal access, they must have their books and other instructional materials at the same time as all other students in the class. Conversion is a time-consuming, labor-intensive process; therefore, OSDS will provide timelines for instructors to submit materials when a student with a print disability requires them in an alternate format.
Top of Page
What are instructor's responsibilities for students with hearing impairments?
Students who are deaf or hard of hearing may require a sign language interpreter. If so, OSDS will make every effort to hire one who is certified to interpret at the postsecondary level. Since EIU is in a rural community it can be very difficult to secure these interpreters, therefore, Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) may be provided when an interpreter cannot be located and hired. When students require a sign language interpreter or VRI, OSDS will offer to meet with instructors to provide an in-service in order to answer questions and address concerns.

Not sure what you're up to, but I paid $99 for mine direct from Verizon. Can't imagine why you'd want to shell out $250 for a used one....
I can't upgrade riight now until fall 2010. That's why i need a used one. In fact I work for Bestbuy so I could get a new one if I wanted to spend 320 dollars.
I hear Best Buy has the phones for $49 now. How about adding a second line to your account? That might ultimately be cheaper...
Thanks that's a good idea. I'm gonna check on it. You think i can cancel it after i get?
I have a Motorola Droid that is 1 month old - barely used - that I do not need.
Hi, if you are still looking for a driod let me know. I have a droid -almost new- with docking and all accessories for whatever price work out between us.
I had the screen protector on the device from day one and I had it for only seven months.
For faster respond please contact me at my personal e-mail at email@example.com.
wondering if you found an eris yet? i have a gently used eris i'm getting ready to let go of. let me know if you are still interested and we can work out a deal.
Hell man...Pm me..I have one that's never seen more than 24 hrs of use. It was given to me to fix another device last year. Its zero blemish. Now that the Eris can be legitimately unlocked I was going to hook it up again...lol If you want it let me know. Pm me.

Dr. James CrapoApril 26, 2005
Written Statement of Dr. James D. Crapo, Professor of Medicine, National Jewish Medical and Research Center and University of Colorado Health Sciences Center Introduction My name is James Crapo, M.D. I am certified in Internal Medicine and Pulmonary Diseases. I am currently Professor of Medicine at the National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver, Colorado. National Jewish is a specialty hospital that is the nation's top ranked hospital in pulmonary disease. I am also a Professor of Medicine at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. I am a Past President of the American Thoracic Society. I am the current President of the Fleischner Society, a leading international society of selected specialists in radiology and pulmonary medicine. A copy of my curriculum vitae is attached. I have more than 25 years of experience with asbestos-related issues, including medical research and clinical treatment of patients suffering from asbestos-related diseases. I have published in the field of environmental toxicology, including the basis of asbestos-induced lung injury. My research involving asbestos was funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. My current research is funded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, and I currently serve on the Board of External Advisors for this Institute. I have previously served as an expert witness on behalf of defendants involved in asbestos litigation. This written statement is intended to supplement the statement I provided to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary on June 4, 2003, related to S.1125, The "FAIR Act of 2003." I have reviewed the Medical Criteria in S. 852 and will confine my comments to assessment of these Medical Criteria.
Occupational exposure to significant levels of inhaled asbestos causes a number of diseases including: The challenge in writing medical criteria for a national trust is that the above conditions are not always related to asbestos exposure and some do not involve functional impairment. Individuals may develop similar diseases but without contributory causation from asbestos exposure. Distinguishing non-asbestos-related cases from those caused by asbestos exposure, based on scientific and medical standards, is an important element in setting up a valid trust. One of the Primary challenges for this trust is to ensure that those individuals with a significant injury and impairment from exposure receive an appropriate compensation while minimizing inappropriate compensation of individuals who have no impairment due to asbestos exposure including those whose disease or injury is similar to, but not caused by asbestos. If large amounts of trust funds are distributed to individuals who do not have an asbestos related injury it puts the entire trust at risk and could lead to those with asbestos related injury not being compensated. I have review the medical criteria in the current version of S. 852. There are a number of changes from S. 1125 that lead to my comments below. To begin, two important changes that strengthen S. 852 are the addition of the concept of requiring a "substantial occupational exposure" to asbestos, and the deletion of compensation for Exposure-only lung cancers (old Level VII). There remain two major areas in the proposed bill that in my opinion will lead to high level compensation for large numbers of individuals who do not have an asbestos related injury or impairment. These involve those with pleural reactions and those with "other cancers."
S. 852 should include medical criteria for payment of claims for pleural reactions only when there is evidence of significant impairment related to extensive pleural disease. Pleural reactions in the lungs are different than asbestosis. Most pleural reactions are asymptomatic (i.e., do not have any discernible physical effect). For example, a pleural plaque can be characterized as a callus on the chest wall. It does not involve the lung. Pleural plaques are a marker of asbestos exposure but do not cause impairment. Pleural plaques or thickening, unless extensive, do not affect lung function. In medical textbooks these are most commonly referred to as "benign pleural plaques" and not "pleural disease." In certain rare cases, very extensive pleural thickening can lead to entrapment of the lung and cause impairment. This is called diffuse pleural thickening and is properly termed a disease. Fortunately, new cases of asbestos-induced diffuse pleural thickening are extremely rare since high-level occupational exposures have been virtually eliminated for almost 20 years. In addition, the presence of pleural plaques or pleural thickening due to asbestos exposure does not increase the risk of developing either asbestosis or lung cancer. When compared to other individuals with similar asbestos exposure but no pleural manifestations, patients with pleural plaques have not been shown to be at increased risk of more serious asbestos-related diseases. I would recommend deleting bilateral pleural disease as a qualification for compensation in the following Levels: ? Level II: Pleural plaques do not cause the airway obstructive disease that would meet the PFT requirements in Level II. A smoker with mild airway obstruction and who has pleural plaques would qualify for Level II, but would not have an impairment due to asbestos exposure.
S. 852 should not include claims for cancer other than lung cancer and mesothelioma because current medical science does not establish a causal relationship between asbestos exposure and these other cancers. At least 69 cohorts have been studied for the risk of lung cancer from occupational exposure to asbestos. Of those, nine cohorts were larger than 5,000 persons. The lung cancer risk of those nine cohorts is shown in the table below. Note that two of the cohorts showed no increase of lung cancer risk (Relative Risks (RR) of 0.84 and 1.03). Five of the cohorts showed modest increases in lung cancer risks (RR's ranging from 1.25 to 1.96), and two cohorts showed high lung cancer risk (RR's 2.64 and 3.7). Table: Lung Cancer Risk in Asbestos Cohorts >5000 Goodman et al. in 1999 did a meta-analysis on all 69 cohorts to determine the magnitude of association between asbestos exposure and lung cancer. He found that overall the increased risk of lung cancer associated with asbestos exposure was about 50%, as shown in the table below. Table: Lung Cancer Mortality - Asbestos Cohorts Meta-Analysis As of 1999, fourteen cohorts had been evaluated for various aspects of gastrointestinal cancer and its relationship to asbestos exposure. In addition, three cohorts evaluated kidney and/or bladder cancer. Two cohorts evaluated prostate cancer and one cohort has evaluated leukemia and other lymphatic or hematopoietic malignancies. A recent meta-analysis of these cohorts shows that for these cancers there is either no evidence of a significant association with asbestos exposure or no dose-response effect. The table below shows the results of that meta-analysis. Besides lung cancer and mesothelioma the only cancer for which a possible association with asbestos exists is laryngeal cancer where the meta-analysis showed an SMR of 1.57. However, variance in these studies was large and there was no evidence of a dose-response effect, raising serious question as to whether cancer of the larynx has a true correlation with asbestos exposure. (Note: A Standard Mortality Ratio (SMR) is similar to Relative Risk with the normal or control value being 1.00 and a 50% increase in death due to that disease being expressed as 1.50.) Table: Pooled Analysis of Studies of The Risk of Cancer With regard to "Other Cancers" I would recommend the following: ? Delete Level VI since this level would result in large compensations to large numbers of individuals who develop a cancer for which there is no established causal relationship to asbestos exposure. Other Recommendations on Changes to the Medical Criteria to Improve the Function of the Trust to be Established under S. 852 ? Make the requirements for Quality Assurance more rigorous. Reliable data is the cornerstone to ensuring that claims under S. 852 correctly meet the medical criteria. Currently S. 852 provides only for random audits. A comprehensive audit procedure to review all claims, including an independent B read of chest films would significantly strengthen the function of this proposed trust. No Quality Assurance is specified for Pulmonary Function testing. The medical criteria state that PFTs should substantially conform to the ATS criteria. These criteria are quite rigorous and many screening PFTs fail to meet these standards. The PFTs to be used by the proposed trust need a standardized audit procedure to ensure quality. ? Expand the definition and requirement to demonstrate "Substantial Occupational exposure." The definition of this term needs to include a requirement that the regular exposure to asbestos fibers must also be to a substantial concentration of airborne fibers. As written a claimant could qualify by doing repair or other work using a product with encapsulated asbestos fibers and which has fiber release under work conditions that are equivalent to or even an order of magnitude less than the current OSHA PEL. I would recommend that a minimum exposure fiber concentration be specified using a time weighted average. This exposure level should be on the order of 2-5 fibers per cc if it is to apply to work durations as short as 5 weighted years. This concept should also be included in the definitions of Moderate and Heavy exposure. ? Delete the use of DLCO in Level V - The gold standards for demonstrating functional disability in severe asbestosis (Level V) are decreases in TLC and in FVC. DLCO is more highly variable, non-specific and is not closely correlated with functional disability. It should not be used as a substitute for decreases in TLC and FVC to qualify for Level V. Keeping DLCO as an alternated criteria for PFT changes in Level V will result inappropriately qualifying individuals for Level V that should be Level IV. ? Delete the use of Chest CT scans - Level VIII appropriately recognizes the enhanced risk for lung cancer in individuals with asbestosis. The use of Chest CT as a diagnostic criteria is problematic because it is highly sensitive and there are no scientific standards or criteria for reliably using subtle CT findings to define individuals with enhanced risk for lung cancer. The chest radiograph should remain the standard for defining this relationship. Conclusions S. 852 is an appropriate approach to address the arbitrary and wasteful manner in which our current court system operates to compensate asbestos victims. The medical criteria in the current form of the bill will offer compensation to all individuals have an asbestos related disease or impairment, but unfortunately will also expend a large portion of the proposed trust's assets compensating individuals with pleural plaques and no impairment or with cancers that are not caused by asbestos exposure. These issues should be addressed to preserve the assets of the trust to compensate those who are truly impaired by a occupational exposure to asbestos. James D. Crapo, M.D. |

After the San Antonio Spurs beat up the Golden State Warriors in Oakland in Game 3 to take a 2-1 series lead, we're back to being in a familiar spot. We're back to playing the role of the underdog- and that's exactly where we want to be.
