The South Pacific Room was located at the El Mirador Hotel in Palm Springs.
From the Historic Site Preservation Board plaque located at 1150 North Indian Canyon, in Palm Springs:
Opening in 1928, El Mirador was one of the most fashionable resorts of its day, catering to movie stars and captains of industry. When the U.S. entered WWII in 1941, the hotel was purchased by the federal government and converted into Torney General Hospital, treating wounded soldiers. After the war, the hotel reopened, but the easterly portion of the property became a community hospital. The hotel closed permanently in 1973 and Desert Hospital was built where the hotel once stood. The main hotel building and its tower remained standing, however, until destroyed by fire in July 1989. This accurate reconstruction was completed in May 1991.

Effectiveness of omega-3 fatty acids for the reduction of hyperactivity in children with autism spectrum disorder
The primary research question is as follows: Do Omega-3 fatty acids reduce hyperactivity in children with autism? In order to answer this question, this study will assess changes in hyperactivity as measured by the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) in children with ASD and elevated baseline levels of hyperactivity who are randomly assigned to use 1.3 grams of omega-3 fatty acids daily compared to placebo.
This study will also assess changes in social functioning (using the Social Responsiveness Scale), overall disease severity (using a modified Clinical Global Impression – Improvement score), and side effects in children taking omega-3 fatty acids vs. placebo.
The secondary objective is to improve and upgrade existing infrastructure of the Interactive Autism Network (IAN) to allow for the efficient and smooth conduct of internet-based RCTs of interventions for ASD. This study will be conducted entirely over the internet.
Existing participants of IAN Research who meet baseline inclusion and exclusion criteria will be invited to participate in the study. Families meeting all eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned and mailed a packet of Omega-3 or placebo which will be administered to children twice daily for six weeks. Assessment of child hyperactivity, social functioning, and overall disease severity will be measured at baseline, three and six weeks. Side effects will be assessed at weeks three and six. Parents will also receive a weekly e-mail reminder and will be asked to log the medication that was provided to their children each day of the previous week.

Ashleigh Powell can now envision herself as a career woman.
The laid-off call-center worker felt the change as she was outfitted with a Navy suit, a cream-colored blouse and a pair of understated cream earrings from the Dress for Success Triangle program.
Powell, 26, is going to school to become a medical assistant. She plans on moving from her home in Spring Hope to Raleigh, where she believes there will be more job opportunities.
"I'm trying to keep focused on being a better woman," she says. "You have to look the part. You have to be what they want."
Powell's spirit has been buoyed by Dress for Success, which provides low-income women with free business-appropriate clothing, mentoring and professional development programs. Clients can also participate in the Dress for Success' Going Places Network, which includes help with job preparation and career advancement. The Triangle chapter has boutiques in Raleigh and Durham.

What constitutes a 'successful' retirement?August 26, 2013How do you know if your retirement is living up to its potential? There isn't a standard definition of a successful retirement. (Maybe there should be, but there isn'.... audyhazeYes, below is so correct addition Europeans R given more vacation (at least 6-wks or more), shorter work hrs when compared to USA, American Workers R given the short end of the stick constantly. About the only gainers in benefits are Randolph County workers on the backs of citizens and taxpayers & landowners! The assessor's office, commissioners office & the BOE with the Levy's have "hit the lottery". In my opinion all this needs ended & refunded to citizens of Upshur and Randolph Counties. Randolph in my opinion is as crooked as a dog's hind leg! Retirements, salaries, personnel in the county has increased due to the extra levy money that was suppose to benefit schools. Oh, you will hear it is but if the FBI would dig into it will be liken to finding a whole bunch of funds not used as slated. These people in my opinion should be prosecuted and made pay back the money. Remember county clerk who was stealing? Makes me wonder just how deep this goes?

I remember being told that hiragana should be the same size as kanji when writing them by hand. However, there are times when I see handwritten kana that are much smaller than the kanji. Does this carry any nuance or is there any purpose to it?
Usually, they should be the same size, but considering the history that okurigana used to be markings (like subscripts) on the Chinese text to add Japanese inflections, it is natural that they are written smaller than kanji. In fact, in caligraphy, it is usually said that hiragana should be written smaller than kanji. |
In Japanese calligraphy and penmanship, usually kana are written slightly smaller than kanji. Basically, the more strokes a character has, the larger it should be written for proper balance and appearance. This is because simple characters look larger than complicated ones with human eyes. This article says, "漢字:10、ひらがな:8、カナ・ローマ字・数字:7~6、特殊記号:6". Addition: This is not only in handwriting and not only in Japanese. Even in typography, kana are designed slightly smaller than kanji. It is pretty common from traditional metal types to modern computer-designed fonts. Also, in Chinese calligraphy, characters with few strokes are written slightly smaller than characters with many strokes. |
In this particular case ギャル文字 is referring to the uber-feminine use of the language. Some of those characters like the ッ are like our emoticons ;-) and some are legitimate. For example in ギャル文字, the ギ{gi} is modified by ャ{ya}(small YA), so instead of reading it "Giyaru" it is read "Gyaru". Most of the time you see the smaller character it will be modifying the previous character. Mostly used with the "Y" characters (ya, yu, yo) but it can be used with others. The small TSU character makes the following character longer, so the double "P" in Sapporo is written "さっぽろ" and not pronounced "Satsuhoro" but rather "Sapporo". In the example JPG you linked they used the katakana TSU ッ and only for effect. But can also use it legit in クスッ{kusu}(swallow the last "U") and still be cutesy. |
Here is an example of the way things were traditionally written. Notice how the kana are definitely smaller than the kanji. I think the practice of making kanji and kana the same size is a more recent development. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d3/ImperialSurrenderRescript.jpg |

I installed raster 2011 and start Architecture using the RD for Architecture shortcut and there is no IMAGE tab in the ribbon. How do I get to the RD tools?
Solved! Go to Solution.
First off you might be like me and have to translate many years of using "Image" for the Menu or Ribbon tab name to "Raster Tools." It is now "Raster" for the Menubar and "Raster Tools" for the Ribbon.
Next double check that you have a Workspace loaded.
Then check that the Partial CUI for AutoCAD Raster Design 2011 is loaded:
Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ARD20
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Autodesk\ARD2010\R18.0\enu\Support\AecCo.cuix
AutoCAD Raster Design 2011 also requires these additional Support File Search Paths:
C:\program files\autodesk\raster design 2011 oe
A user profile folder:
Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AR
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Autodesk\ARD2011\R18.1\enu\Support
C:\program files\autodesk\autocad raster design 2011
C:\program files\autodesk\autocad raster design 2011\help
Let us know how things work out.
Yea, Raster tools, that's what I meant to say
Checked under workspaces, something I never use (for lack of understanding it) but found two workspaces. Architecture (checked) and Architecture - migrated from 2010. I checked the latter and sure enough there they were. Thanks much, now I need to learn about workspaces.
I noticed that happening to all my 2011 Raster installs. Try and repair the install, Raster Tab should show up.

A judge is considering evidence in the death penalty case of Reginald Clemons after four days of testimony this week.
During a press conference Friday morning, Clemons's parents stood alongside representatives from the ACLU, and the NAACP, to condemn what they call a broken justice system that's responsible for sending their son to death row.
Clemons was convicted for the 1991 rape and murder of 20-year-old Julie Kerry and 19-year-old Robin Kerry.
Bishop Reynolds Thomas is Clemons father. He says the justice system is corrupt.
Missouri death row inmate Reginald Clemons says detective interrogators beat him so badly he admitted to raping two sisters who were pushed to their deaths from the old Chain of Rocks Bridge.
Clemons testified today at a special hearing that he confessed because he feared for his life. He is on death row for the 1991 rape and murder of 20-year-old Julie Kerry and 19-year-old Robin Kerry.
After the hearing, the Missouri Supreme Court will decide whether to commute Clemons' death sentence and possibly require a new trial.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - The clock is ticking on $4 million intended to spread high-speed internet to rural West Virginia.
The West Virginia Broadband Deployment Council has set a Friday deadline for telecommunications companies and nonprofits to apply for grants to achieve that end. The Charleston Gazette reports that no applications had been returned Wednesday.
West Virginia has the lowest rural broadband access in the nation with nearly 60 percent of the rural population lacking access to broadband.
While many areas of West Virginia have access to high-speed Internet, the Federal Communications Commission has said that in other places like Hampshire, Hardy, Monroe and Pocahontas counties, more than 95 percent of their populations lack broadband access.
Despite the looming deadline, the council says 11 organizations have begun filling out paperwork.

Quinton Carter and Jonathan Wilhite grabbed the start at safety and nickel cornerback, respectively, two changes at starter on defense.
It's Carter's first career start.
The Broncos opened with their nickel package, so Wesley Woodyard also got the start at linebacker alongside Von Miller — who was up on the line as a semi-defensive end — and D.J. Williams.
Elvis Dumervil, Ryan McBean and Marcus Thomas started on the defensive line, and Brian Dawkins, Champ Bailey and Andre' Goodman rounded out the secondary.
After forcing a punt, the starting offense is now on the field.
Ryan Clady, Zane Beadles, J.D. Walton, Chris Kuper and Orlando Franklin make up the offensive line. Tim Tebow starts at quarterback, with Eric Decker and Eddie Royal at receiver. Daniel Fells is at tight end, and Willis McGahee and Spencer Larsen are in the backfield.

Modified standing squat pose (utkatasana)
yoga is in the second trimester, after 14 weeks. As your bump grows bigger, you may need to modify some poses. If any of them become uncomfortable for you, stop doing them. It's best to find an antenatal yoga class, led by a qualified teacher, to complement these home exercises.
It's a good idea to check with your doctor or midwife before starting any form of exercise while you're pregnant, especially if you haven't done it before.
The safest time to start It's a good idea to check with your doctor or midwife before starting any form of exercise while you're pregnant, especially if you haven't done it before.
Start by standing with your feet together and facing forward, and arms by your side, palms facing inwards. Place your feet a comfortable distance apart. Join your palms together in the namaste (prayer) position, thumbs against your breastbone.STEP 2
Draw up your pelvic floor muscles. Breathe out and bend your knees, squatting down gently. Move your hips down and back as if you were going to sit on the edge of a chair. Your weight should be on the heels of your feet. Do not bring your hips lower than the level of your knees or over-arch your back. Keep your tailbone tucked in and relax your shoulders down. Focus on a point on the wall or floor in front of you to help you balance. Hold the pose, focusing on your breathing, for as long as is comfortable.STEP 3
Now, as you next inhale, press down into your feet, straightening your legs to come back up to the standing position, keeping your hands together in front of your chest. Repeat several times. Flow smoothly from one position to another as you breathe slowly.Benefits:
- Strengthens the lower body
- Stretches the upper back
- Invigorates the whole body
- Keep your movements smooth and slow.
- Focus on a point on the wall or floor in front of you to help you balance.
- Hormone changes and the extra weight of pregnancy may weaken your pelvic floor. Always draw up you pelvic floor muscles when moving into or out of standing poses.
- Your centre of gravity changes as your pregnancy progresses. If you have problems balancing in the standing poses, stand near a wall or have a chair within reach to help steady you.
- Always listen to your body – never force yourself into a pose, and release any pose as soon as your breathing becomes heavy.

Which external drives have you had work when you've used them for backing up SBS 2003, SBS 2008, and SBS 2011, and which have failed you?
Windows Small Business Server 2003, 2008, 2011
After responding to a thread in the Small Business Server Forum regarding failing USB backup drives, figured we would all benefit from this list.
Please add your successes and failures using inbuilt SBS(NTBACKUP) / Windows Server Backup. Please remember to test Backup and Restore functionality and state part number and capacity of drive tested along with server USB interface level (2 or 3) tested.
Ego drives
Portable Blackbelt drives
FreeAgent GoFlex Desk 2TB
Freeagent Go
Freeagent Desk
BlacX Drive Caddy (USB Connection Only)
BlacX Drive Caddy (USB/eSata Connections)
intermittant connection with eSata
BlacX SG Drive Caddy (USB 2.0 and 3.0)
StorE Alu2 USB2.0
To return to the SBS backup information, click here.
Note that Microsoft recommend drives are reformatted as NTFS before being used with Windows Server Backup (WSB). Large drives (eg 3TB+) should be reformatted with 512 bytes per cluster as large drives tend to be factory formatted with 4096 bytes per cluster which can cause problems with WSB.
Thank you to Merv Porter, SBS-MVP, for writing up the following workaround for USB backup drives that fail to wake from sleep! - Steve
SBS 2008 administrators may notice that certain makes/models of external USB drives may go to sleep during periods of inactivity resulting in failed backups. One workaround for this utilizes Microsoft's Devcon utility with scheduled tasks to first remove the USB device and then to rescan the USB bus. Unfortunately, the original 32-bit version of Devcon does not function properly on a Windows 2008 system. However, the Windows Driver Kit (Version 7.1.0) contains a Windows 2008 compatible version.
Download Windows Driver Kit (Version 7.1.0) iso to a folder on the hard drive
Download Universal Extractor
log on as a domain administrator and copy the Devcon utility to a convenient place (like the root of the C: drive) and then create two Scheduled Basic Tasks…
Name: Devcon Remove USB before backup
Program: devcon.exe
Schedule: (10 minutes before backup)
Arguments: remove usbstor*
Start in: c:\
Name: Devcon Rescan USB Bus before backup
Schedule: (5 minutes before backup)
Arguments: rescan
Other parameters to include in each scheduled task…
Run with highest privileges
Wake computer if necessary (Note: not sure if this one is actually necessary)
Run even if user is not logged on

We are using acomdata 750gb harddrives with success, model #PQHD750USE-72 with a production date of 11/2008, SBS 2008 Enterprise
I am looking for a backup drive for 2008 and you mention the Western Digital Passport (non-NESN) I assume this is the one without the Smartware software. I have looked to try and find this version but not successful yet. Do you have a part number for this?
The Thermaltake BlacX Drive Caddy you've got "SG", do you mean the "5G"? I just purchased SBS 2011 Standard and am trying to figure out which external HDD system to use for backups. Thanks!
We are using Western Digital EESN, result = intermittent FAIL on SBS2008
Tested Iomega® Prestige™ Desktop Hard Drive 1TB (Item # 35180) with HP ML-350 G6 running SBS 2011 and hotfix 982018. This drive appears to be the same as the iomega Ego drive and emulates a CDROM drive. It does not report its "Bytes Per Physical Sector" correctly so it will not work with backup software in 2008. See Below:
C:\Users\administrator>fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo f:

Total Reserved : 0x0000000000000000
Bytes Per Sector : 4096

Added to list above as failure with 2011.
We've had issues with (and confirmed that 512e couldn't be enabled on) the WD Mybook Essential 3.0 TB drive.
Iomega Prestige Portable Hard Drive USB (2.0) 3.0 1TB (Product code:LPHD-UP3) failed on SBS 2011. Thanks for the list. I will try the HP SimpleSave.
Success with a Segate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk 2TB (PN:9ZQAN1-570) on SBS 2011. Tested with HP ProLiant ML-350 G6 and Rear External Port. Added it to the list above.
Upgraded to SBS 2011 Standard. New backup hardware is a Verbatum PowerBay (single bay) and three 1TB drive cartridges. Must set up one of the drives as primary while in the bay, then have it connected with a usb drive adapter cable in order to register the other two drives in the bay. Also the primary must be in the bay or otherwise connected in order to change schedule. Other than that, it's been working fine, no problem restoring files when needed.
I wish I found this list sooner.

Site Told To Pay $338k Because Of Someone Else's Comments
from the that's-not-right dept
We've written a few times about former Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader/former school teacher Sarah Jones' ridiculous lawsuit against TheDirty.com, because one of its users had posted some claims that were potentially defamatory towards her. The case has been something of a mess. As we noted a few years ago, she sued the wrong company, filing the actual lawsuit against the company which runs TheDirt.com (not TheDirty.com). Eventually that got sorted out, and what should have been a straight quick dismissal because of Section 230 of the CDA (which says a site is not liable for statements made by users) was muddled because a judge didn't seem to like the website. The judge flat out claims that if a site has "dirt" in its name, it may not be subject to Section 230 protections. And that's kinda scary for those of us here at Techdirt.
First, the name of the site in and of itself encourages the posting only of "dirt," that is material which is potentially defamatory or an invasion of the subject's privacy.Of course, having allowed the case to move forward and flat out contradicted pretty much every ruling on Section 230 to date, the jury has now said the site needs to pay $338,000. The lawyer for TheDirty.com is actually happy about this, because he can finally get the case out of that judge's court and bring it to an appeals court which might actually understand Section 230.
"I'm happy," says David Gingras, lawyer for the TheDirty.com. "We have spent three and a half years litigating against a federal judge who thinks the Internet is an Atari video game. To have an adverse judgment is never a good thing, but it's good for us to get out of that court."Of course, Kash Hill, at Forbes, also points out that Jones -- who claims her reputation was harmed by the claims on TheDirty.com -- seems to have done some damage to her own reputation, well beyond just suing the wrong site:
The three and a half years since the case was filed have been drama-filled. Jones originally sued the wrong site. She then amended her complaint to sue the right site, but had to take time off for her own criminal suit after she was charged with having sex with a minor. Her first trial against The Dirty ended in a hung jury. Meanwhile, she got engaged to the minor, a former student of hers. Needless to say, she is no longer teaching. Richie was happy to point out on his blog (repeatedly) that Jones ruined her own reputation in the years after his site published a warning about her.Hopefully, we won't get sued for reposting that comment. After all, we are a website with "dirt" in the domain name.

Frederick: The funeral service for Willard I. Buffalo Bill Sumption, 90, of Frederick will be 10 a.m. Saturday, May 25, 2013, at Spitzer-Miller Funeral Home, with Pastor Joanne Nagele officiating. Burial at 1 p.m. at Wayside Cemetery, Frederick. Willard died Sunday, May 19, at his home.
Visitation will be from 1 to 7 p.m., with family present from 6 to 7 p.m. Friday, at Spitzer-Miller Funeral Home, 1111 S. Main St., Aberdeen.
Willard Irving Sumption was born Sept. 5, 1922, in Aberdeen to Guy and Ada (Taskerud) Sumption. He grew up and attended school in Richland Township. He entered the U.S. Army on March 8, 1945, serving in Hawaii and the Philipine Islands. He was honorably discharged Nov. 27, 1946. He moved back to the family farm near Frederick. In 1948, he married Doris Wendling. They made their home on the ranch, where he raised cattle and buffalo. Later, he married Darlene Jennings. He continued to live on the ranch until the time of his death.
After his discharge from the Army, Willard returned to the ranch, where he raised shorthorn cattle with his brothers. They took great pride in the genetics and quality of their cattle and many calves became 4-H State and National champions. Willard was well known for his passion for buffalo. He acquired his first buffalos in 1952. He especially looked forward to the spring of the year when the new buffalo calves were born. It was a great source of enjoyment for him to see new born buffalo calves scattered throughout the prairie pasture. His involvement with the buffalo and the buffalo hunts allowed him the opportunity to connect and develop many friendships over the years. He actively maintained his herd of buffalo until the time of his death. Willard was an avid hunter and had a great passion for dancing and socializing. He had many fond memories of pheasant hunts during the 1960s and 1970s with his wide circle of friends.
Grateful for having shared Willard's life are his children: Marilyn (Jack) Goodman, Cupertino, Calif.; Gary (LaDonna) Sumption, Frederick; Lauri (Gary) Graves, Pierre; Milton (Kara) Sumption, Lake Bluff, Ill.; Nancy (Mike Sing) Sumption, McLean, Va.; grandchildren: Jae (Dawn) Goodman, Wyatt and Tyler Sumption, Tane and Colton Graves, Luke and Katelyn Sumption and Hanna Sing; greatgrandchildren: Daisy and Dean; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Willard was preceded in death by his parents: Guy and Ada Sumption and all of his brothers and sisters: Clarence Sumption, Marion Larson, Emery Sumption, Raymond Sumption, Jack Sumption, Leonard Sumption, Guy Sumption, Jr., Ada Mae McDonald and Herbert Sumption.

Navajo Code Talker Keith Little Dies
By Ashley Gross
One of the last remaining Navajo Code Talkers from World War II has died. Keith Little, who transmitted codes in important Pacific battles such as Iwo Jima and Saipan, died Tuesday at 87. He led the Navajo Code Talkers Association in recent years and fought to get recognition for the Code Talkers, who were ordered to keep their contribution to the war effort secret for decades after the war ended.

Dynamic Earth: Understanding the Processes Affecting the Earth's Crust, PLED 573
About this Course:
Among the most dramatic events on Earth are volcanic eruptions and earthquakes which are also among the most dangerous and damaging natural occurrences in human experience. While they seem instantaneous and limited in where they happen, volcanoes and earthquakes are actually the result of processes that take place over very long time spans and very great distances. In this course we will learn about the interactions among Earth systems that result in dynamic processes within and on the surface of our planet. We will explore online resources that can be used to teach about these Earth system interactions, as well as inquiry-based approaches to helping students understand them.
Who Should Attend:
This course is specifically designed to address the needs of middle school science teachers. Other K-12 teachers are also welcome to take part in the course. Please let the instructor know your specific professional motivations for taking the course so those can be accommodated to the extent possible.
Expected Outcomes:
Participants will be familiarized with:
- Basic geological principles, evidence and theories used to explain and study earthquakes and volcanoes , with an emphasis on Earth's structure, plate tectonics and Earth systems.
- Online and print materials and resources for teaching Earth science in general and the topics in Goal 1 in particular using an inquiry-based approach.
- Pedagogical approaches that promote student engagement, relevance and inquiry-based instruction.
- Methods for using current online tools, with an emphasis on user-generated content, in science instruction.
- Elements of the nature of science (e.g., reliance on evidence and an inductive approach to reasoning), especially as they apply to the topics in Goal.
Course Outline:
The Four Tasks are outlined as
Task 1 | Earthquake Event Case Study (Due middle of week 2) |
Task 2 | Dynamic Earth Measurements and Models (Due end of week 3) |
Task 3 | Volcano Webquest (Due end of week 4) |
Task 4 | Hands-on Inquiry of the Dynamic Earth (Due middle of week 6) |
