For many years, Santa Clara students have participated in the Washington Semester program through American University. The Washington Semester Program offers students the opportunity to live, study, and work in our nation's capital for one semester along with other students from throughout the country, as well as from abroad. Numerous programs of study are available, including American Politics, Public Law, Foreign Policy, International Environment & Development, Economic Policy, Journalism, International Business & Trade, Peace & Conflict Resolution, and Contemporary Islam. In the Washington Semester Program students combine coursework taken at American University with hands-on experience via internships. In the past SCU students have interned at the White House, the Justice Department, the FBI, interest groups, Fox News, various non-profit organizations, and offices of Members of the House of Representatives. Students participating in the Washington Semester Program earn 18 - 24 quarter credits for one semester of study. Grades and units received at American University will count toward the student's SCU GPA and course requirements for the department and the university.WSP FAQ & Information Packet 2013 WSP Application (including Dean's Grant Application) Frequently Asked Questions about the Washington Semester ProgramShould I go as a senior, junior, or sophomore? How do I apply? When is the application deadline?
Although applications are not due until January 2012, you should consult your academic advisor as early as possible if you would like to attend this program so that you can plan your classes at SCU accordingly. How competitive is it to get into the program? Students with a GPA between 2.1 and 2.5 may be considered on an exceptional basis. How many units of credit will I receive? Here's how it breaks down (American U. is on the semester system): Research Project Course Option
* To receive credit for your Poli Senior Seminar requirement you must be a junior or senior and complete the AU Research Project with a grade of C or better. Elective Course Option
Most SCU students choose to enroll in the research project, but you may instead decide not to enroll in anything beyond your basic program, or to enroll in an elective course. If you want to enroll in an elective course, you will need to choose one that is offered after 5 p.m. to accommodate your seminar and internship classes. You are advised not to count on doing a required course at AU, as many of those courses close before you are allowed access to them.
What requirements are satisfied by the courses taken in Washington?
If you are working on the Public Sector Emphasis, any of the seminars will also count as one of the required upper division courses outside the department. Likewise, depending on course selection, some pre-law emphasis requirements may be completed at AU. Law-related WSP coursework can be approved for pre-law list A coursework. Please see Professor Izquierdo for more information. I am studying a language at SCU. Can I continue that in Washington? How much does it cost? Thanks to a $5,000 discount on WSP tuition offered by American University, students pay the same tuition rate as all other SCU students. Will my financial aid transfer to American University? Is other aid available? In the event that you need additional financial assistance, there are also scholarships available from American University. Some are need-based, while others are tied to specific academic programs at WSP. Information on the Dean's Scholarship (which is need-based) is included below. You can inquire about program-specific scholarships directly from AU. How do the internships work? Do I have to find my own? The political science department has a book listing over 2000 internships available through AU's Washington Semester Program. You can stop by A&S 230 anytime to look through the book to get an idea of possible internships you may wish to pursue while in D.C. Can I do this program and also study abroad? If you want the Washington D.C. experience as well as an overseas experience in one semester, you may want to consider one of the five Washington Semester programs that also include an overseas trip. The five programs with an overseas travel component are:

Multiple directories for dfs.name.dirnagarjuna kanamarlapudi 2012-11-17, 13:10
I was just wondering why do we specify more than one directories for dfs.name.dir . What I understand is dfs.name.dir should be valued to 2 directories one on the local and the other on the NFS. Are we trying to protect the name node from eventualities? If so, what is the role of Secondary NameNode ? I am using apache hadoop-0.20 Regards, Nagarjuna |

Hi I installed early version of SQL Katmai 2008 on my Vista. Install was smooth but When I run Management Studio and enter either SQL or windows logins at initial login page I get following: TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management StudioError connecting to 'servername\instancename' ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc.EnumeratorCore) For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&LinkId=20476 Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.UnSafeInternals.ManagementUtil.EnterMonitor(System.Object) (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc.EnumeratorCore) BUTTONS: OKit is rather annoying because I installed SQL twice but cannot get pass through this error... "Katmai"? Do you mean one of the Beta releases?
Oct 18 '09 at 03:04 PM
(comments are locked)
that's correct, however I found the solution! basically after Katmai install I installed VS SP1 which breakes most of the previous CTP installs, hence SQL logins via Management Studio (Code Name 'Katmai') was impossible! Reinstall of product in correct order resolved the issue. following is the thread where I noted solution, which worked.. many thanks to all and Ben for review/comments.. Si If this is the answer to your question, you should mark it as such (click on the big tick next to it!).

Re: Roles of Madness. Mafia Thread
That's quite the difficult win con. Survivor plus you have to night visit each person remaining in the game - successfully. If there was a blowout by either side, you would essentially lose because not enough nights occuring to visit everyone remaining. Have you been playing to help the town, hurt the town, or make the game go long?
Do you think Ankeli played any part in Noodle's death?
On a scale of 1 to 10, how curious were you about using watcher ability targeting me on N1? Using watcher on me or Ankeli N2?
26-04-2012, 06:15 #795
Re: Roles of Madness. Mafia Thread
It does seem pretty difficult, but hey you play the hand you get dealt. I must admit it is a very interesting role to play, as I am just trying to guess who will be around at the end of the game. Also I am praying as hard as I can that the repeat foreshadowed is not another global roleblock. Also, at least I don't have to survive to the end of the game, only until everyone has my wards, so not a complete survivor.
Other point you make: I play to my wincon. For this role that means 2 things - survive and hand out wards. To survive, I have been trying to play as townie as I can with scum hunting and voting for people I find suspicious, and hope this means the town doesn't lynch me. On the other hand, I am highly unlikely to vote for anyone I have given a ward to. Luckily so far that is FoE with a cop claim that was backed up by a mafia lynch.

Re: Roles of Madness. Mafia Thread
Haven' read the whole thread, will do in two hours or so.
I can confirm I have received a holy ward, that doesn't do anything.

Re: Roles of Madness. Mafia Thread
I found this on the Internets...
I don't post this to confirm Noodle's townieness/scumminess, simply to shed light on what a temptress does. I'm sure there are Mafia and town versions of this role.
- Day: You vote to eliminate scum.
- Night: You may send the name of one person to tempt and one victim to the moderator via PM.
- A tempted person is compelled to vote to lynch the victim on the following day.
- A tempted person may not tell anyone that they have been tempted.
- A tempted person is compelled to do everything they can to ensure the victim is lynched on the following day

Re: Roles of Madness. Mafia Thread
coju: you're saying that you got your role stolen?
Gory: can you confirm the above?
Well, I'll make a list..
People I consider confirmed town (/not scum):
- Myself
- Goryani
- Gwaihir
People I think are town:
- coju (due to my investigation result. Still having doubts though, considering the whole wrong result thing)
- BA (I trust his role claim, and he was after Korial from D1)
- Glib (voted first for Autti D2, and also voted for him D1 - could be that he wanted to distance him self from him, though I don't think that's likely)
that leaves:
- Pyro (D1: voted skjolde, D2: late vote on Autti, D3: voted Sath and Korial after my claim)
- Kegs (D1: me and Skjolde, D2: 4th vote on Autti, D3: Val and Korial)
- Loz (D1: Skjolde, D2: Glib and 7th on Autti, D3: didn't vote)
- Sath (D1: Glib, Asrrin, Gory, D2: Ank, D3: Val, Korial)
- Laarz (D1: Skjolde, D2: no vote, D3: Val)
- CG (D1: Skjolde, D2: 6th vote on Autti, D3: Korial)
My top suspects would be:
- Sath: pretty much ignored the hunt against Autti and (before my claim) Korial. Instead he was aggressive towards Val and Ank, who I both think were townies.
- Laarz: Also not particularly aggresive towards any of the scum we've lynched. I mostly just have a bad feeling against him.
- Loz: I don't like his vote on Glib today, as I see a lot of better targets. Also, his late vote on Autti nerves me.
Sath is my favourite for now.
Vote: Sathoris
I'm gonna hang on to my investigation power for now and use it when I've got some posts to decide from. That is if I can use it. Pyro's idea about day actions being blocked today seems possible.

For years, Stephen has been warning us about the growing threat from Mexico. Mexico's drug lords have turned the country into a crime-ridden hell-scape, and the deadly cartel violence is spilling over our border. Beyond violence, the border has also become a gateway for smugglers of dangerous contraband.
In response, The Minuteman Project formed as a volunteer force of patriots dedicated to keeping threats and contraband from crossing our borders. The Minutemen know that everything illegal that crosses the border is all about the money.
Big money has always been a part of drug smuggling, but Mexico has also become the illicit supplier for another seemingly innocuous cash cow: bologna. In this segment of "The Enemy Within," Stephen details the largest bologna bust in history, and explores the implications of black-market bologna on our wholesome American society.

Taufik Hidayat isn't done with badminton — he's just done doing it Indonesia's way.
After 12 years in the Indonesian Badminton Association, or PSBI, national training camp, the 27-year-old officially announced his withdrawal on Friday. Though he left the camp, he still plans to pursue a professional career.
"I'll still play as an Indonesian player, though not under the national team banner anymore," Taufik said at a press conference. "I will never play for another country."

An analogy is made from sets of words or concepts that have a particular relationship. Analogy problems often show pairs of words. The relationship between the first pair of words is the same as the relationship between the second pair. The kind of thinking you do to solve analogies helps you learn. It also gives you power as a problem solver. Solving analogies help you to: *process information *make connections *use information and skills to identify relationships *improve understanding and long-term memory. Analogies stimulate critical and creative thinking and can be used in all content and skill areas. They can teach and reinforce, as well as test your abilities to identify relationships and make connections.

First, roll the die to see where you live (http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/reso...ice/twelve.htm)
6: Bel Air
You also own a fluffy but rambunctious pet poodle who is just the right size to fit into your purse. Give it a name that is both unexpected and slightly cringeworthy.
List your family here:
DH: Fletcher Michael York (45)
DW: Maia Elizabeth Tilly-Knott-Levitt-York. "Maia Levitt" (25)
DD: Elizabeth "Libby" Dominique York (17)
DS: Adam William York (16)
DS: Christian Lucas York (15)
DD: Echo Sarah Knott (9)
DS: James Aaron Levitt (5)
DS: Alec Wesley Levitt-York (1)
DD: Emme Lily Levitt-York (3 mos.)
Poodle: Hummingbird
Okay so Maia was a teen mother, getting pregnant with Echo at 16. She married the guy, Olivier Knott. They divorced after a year. She then married Kevin Levitt with whom she had her son James at the age of 20. That didn't work out either. She married Fletcher York, a famous action movie star worth billions, and had Alec and Emme. Fletcher's ex wife, and mother to Libby, Adam, and Christian, ducked out right after Christian was born. Maia made a name for herself by filming mommy yoga videos on YouTube, got a deal with a famous workout company, and made her own millions by coaching woman on how to get their bodies back, post baby! Her in LA, the twenty year age gap between Fletcher and Maia doesn't even make anyone cringe.
Fletcher, Maia and their blended family!
Libby, Adam, Christian, Echo, James, Alec, and Emme!just a name nerd with lots of plans.
Childhood cancer has names too. Never forget Ronan, Talia, Ty, and all the other children suffering

Actor James Franco visited Hopkins Friday afternoon to introduce a film he made about the modernist American poet Hart Crane and participate in a question and answer session with Hopkins professor and noted Hart Crane scholar, John Irwin.
My colleague, Jess Blumberg, and I attended, and I wanted to jot down my impressions of the event before it recedes too far into memory. Jess will present her take on things in the April issue's "Charm City Chatter" column—so be on the look out for that!
We filed into Shriver Hall, which was packed with students (predominantly girls), past tables out front promoting professor Irwin's new book on Crane, Hart Crane's Poetry: "Appollinaire lived in Paris, I live in Cleveland, Ohio".
Professor Irwin didn't seem at all irked to have to share the stage with a 30-something actor, but my heart broke for him a little bit when Franco induced screaming in the crowd simply by ambling in to take his seat. Irwin has been studying Crane for most of his life, published four books of literary criticism, plus volumes of his own poetry, and he has to play second fiddle to a guy most famous for playing a good-natured pothead? That is the power of celebrity.
To give Franco his due though, he is far from a Kardashian. First of all, he's a good actor, and he's already won a Golden Globe and been nominated for an Oscar. Then, in his late 20s, he decided to go back to school, finish his undergrad degree at UCLA and then got his MFA from Columbia. He is currently pursuing his PhD at Yale. In the fall, he taught a class about adapting poetry to film at NYU and, in 2010, published a volume of short stories called Palo Alto: Stories. He's not stupid, is what I am saying. And although most of the questions were directed to him, he had the good grace to pivot and defer to Irwin on the questions dealing most directly with Crane's work.
The film itself is called The Broken Tower, after one of Crane's most famous poems. It was made as part of his master's thesis and Franco wrote, directed, edited, and starred in the film. Apparently, Franco didn't want to act in the film and tried to get other actors such as Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Paul Dano to play Crane, but niether wanted to do it. The result is—I think, anyway—largely what you'd expect from an academic student film. It's black and white. It is episodic, rather than a traditional narrative. There are lots of lingering shots of Franco's Crane staring inscutably off into the distance, and, yes, poetry is read and recited at length. Crane, a tortured artist if ever there was one, had an interesting and dramatic life, but I reached my limit about an hour into the film. Unfortunately for me, at that point, there was still about an hour left to go.
But I made it, and the question and answer session proved enlightening with Franco talking at length about his conscious decision to make an "obtuse movie." "I might bore the audience a little bit," he admitted, "but I will be true to the subject and giving the poetry out." Irwin, for his part, was eloquent when discussing Crane's poetic legacy: "The Bridge [Crane's landmark, epic poem] is the best long-form poem written in the 20th century in the English language—and it's not the best by a little bit; it's the best by a lot."
Well, alright then.
But, again, it was Franco—not Irwin or even Crane—that had drawn most attendees, and he probably got off the most memorable line of the event when he said, "If anybody has the urge to ask me to go smoke pot with them after this—I can't."
Here's a link to some professional paparazzi pictures of Franco leaving Hopkins to go catch his train at Penn Station after the event.

The San Diego–Coronado Bridge, locally referred to as the Coronado Bridge, is a "prestressed concrete/steel" girder bridge, crossing over San Diego Bay in the United States, linking San Diego with Coronado, California.[1] The bridge is signed as part of State Route 75.
The 11,179-foot-long (3,407 m or 2.1 mi) bridge ascends from Coronado at a 4.67 percent grade before curving 80 degrees toward San Diego. The span reaches a maximum height of 200 feet (61m), allowing the U.S. Navy ships which operate out of the nearby Naval Station San Diego to pass underneath it. The five-lane bridge featured the longest box girder in the world until it was surpassed by a bridge in Chongqing, China in 2008.[2] The bridge does not form a direct path to Coronado, but rather has a curve. This was done so it would be high enough for all U.S. Navy ships to pass underneath but not too steep for vehicles to ascend and descend.
Construction on the San Diego–Coronado Bay Bridge started in February 1967, and opened to traffic on August 3, 1969, during the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the founding of San Diego[3]
Tolls and tollbooths[edit]
Originally, the toll was $0.60 in each direction. Several years later, this was changed to a $1.00 toll collected for traffic going westbound to Coronado only. Although the bridge was supposed to become "toll-free" once the original bridge bond was paid (which occurred in 1986), the tolls continued for sixteen additional years. On June 27, 2002, it became the last toll bridge in Southern California to discontinue tolls, despite objections from some residents that traffic to the island would increase.[4][5] The original toll booths on the Coronado side remained intact for a short while, and were temporarily replaced with newer, more modern-looking toll booths for the filming of a car commercial in April 2007. The islands upon which the toll booths sat, as well as the canopy over the toll plaza area, are still intact, located at the western end of the bridge in the westbound lanes. Though tolls are no longer collected, beginning February 19, 2009 there was talk of resuming westbound toll collection to fund major traffic solutions and a tunnel.[6]
Lanes and traffic[edit]
The bridge contains five lanes: two eastbound, two westbound, and a reversible middle lane with a moveable barrier system which can be used to create a third lane in either direction in response to traffic volume.[3] The eastern end of the bridge connects directly to a T interchange with Interstate 5, just southeast of downtown San Diego. It is designated and signed as part of California State Highway 75. The bridge was designed entirely and exclusively for motor vehicle traffic; there are no pedestrian walkways, bike paths, or shoulders ("breakdown lanes"). Beginning in 2008, cyclists have the once-a-year opportunity to ride over the bridge in the Bike the Bay "fun ride".[7]
The pillars supporting the bridge on the eastern end are painted with huge murals as part of Chicano Park, the largest collection of Chicano art murals in the world.[8] This neighborhood park and mural display were created in response to a community uprising in 1970, which protested the negative effects of the bridge and Interstate 5 on the Barrio Logan community. Local artist Salvador Torres proposed using the bridge and freeway pillars as a giant canvas for Chicano art at a time when urban wall murals were rare in the United States, and he and many other artists created the murals when permission for the park was finally granted in 1973.
Suicide bridge[edit]
It is the third deadliest suicide bridge in the USA, trailing only the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and the Aurora Bridge in Seattle.[9] Between 1972 and 2000, more than 200 suicides occurred on the bridge.[10] Signs have been placed on the bridge urging potential suicides to call a hotline.
One "suicide" was later determined to be a murder. Authorities determined that Jewell P. Hutchings, 52, of Cerritos had been forced to jump at gunpoint; her husband, James Albert Hutchings, was subsequently charged with murdering her and pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter.[11]
General facts[edit]
This section is in a list format that may be better presented using prose. (June 2011) |
- Principal architect: Robert Mosher
- Opened on August 3, 1969
- In 1970, it won the Most Beautiful Bridge Award from American Institute of Steel Construction
- 3.4 kilometres (2.1 mi) long
- cost $50 million to build
- retrofitting cost $70–150 million
- 20,000 tons of steel (13,000 tons in structural steel and 7,000 in reinforcing steel)
- 94,000 cubic yards of concrete
- 900,000 cubic yards of dredged fill
- some caissons for the towers were drilled and blasted 100 feet into the bed of the San Diego Bay
- 4.67% grade from Coronado to San Diego
- side railings are concrete blocks only 34 inches high
Over 50 people worked to maintain the bridge and take tolls; tolls have since been discontinued.
The grade, 200 foot clearance at peak, and the 90-degree angle turn is to create clearance for an empty oil-fired aircraft carrier to pass beneath it – it is not sufficient for Nimitz-class nuclear aircraft carriers.
The bridge is the third largest orthogonal box in the country – the box is the center part of the bridge, between piers 18 and 21 over the main shipping channel.
Urban legend[edit]
A decades-old local urban legend claims the center span of the bridge was engineered to float in the event of collapse, allowing Naval ships to push the debris and clear the bay. The construction of the 1,880-foot-long center span as a hollow box of steel-reinforced concrete may have contributed to the development of the myth, but Caltrans and the bridge's principal architect, Robert Mosher, maintain that the legend is false.[12]

the bar and then tried to make off with your girlfriend.
As his mother puts it, "He was much too young to see what

Springfield ponders grant for school copSPRINGFIELD The town is again debating whether to apply for a $125,000 federal grant to help pay for a police officer for Springfield High School.
The town has twice been successful in applying for the federal funding in recent years, only to have the School Board balk at paying a share of the costs.
The Select Board debated the issue again this week, after Town Manager Robert Forguites said the 30-day window had opened for applying for a Community Oriented Policing Services, or COPS, grant. The window closes in late May.
Police Chief Douglas Johnston said he was willing to apply for the detailed grant, but after being burned twice, wanted some kind of assurance the town wouldnt turn the grant down.
Such behavior will hurt the town in the future when it applies for other federal funding, he said.
I dont want to cry wolf to the feds, he said.
Select Board members made it clear that while they were willing to help pay for part of the officers salary and benefits, the bulk of the funding, or 75 percent, should come from the School Board.
Select Board members said that while schools arent in session year round, they expected the school would keep the officer occupied even during vacation months.
Forguites and Johnston estimated that the grant, which lasts three years but requires a fourth year fully funded by the town, would only cover about half the cost of the benefits and salary of the officer.
The cost of benefits is about equal to the starting salary of an officer, which is currently estimated at $38,956. Benefits were estimated at $35,000, by Jeff Mobus, the towns finance officer.
Selectwoman Stephanie Gibson said she was willing for the town to contribute toward the schools resource officer because of the towns push to crack down on crime and drug dealing.
Budgets are right, but I would support pursuing this, she said. It would be money well spent for the children of Springfield.
And the police chief said that over the course of the grant, those costs are only expected to go up, due to new negotiations with the police union, as well as the increasing costs of benefits.
Kristi Morris, chairman of the Select Board, said he broached the issue with Scott Adnams, chairman of the School Board. He said he expected the two boards would get together in the near future to hash out the issue.
He said Adnams wanted to know why the issue had been brought up again.
Adnams didnt return a call for comment.
Forguites said later he had discussed the issue briefly with acting Superintendent Zach McLaughlin.
Doug has been directed to start preparing to do the grant, but not to put a lot of effort into it until theres a clear signal from the School Board, Forguites said.

Bill Gates' 'rude' handshake sends shock waves across South Korea
on April 23, 2013 @ 1:25 pm (Updated: 11:51 pm - 4/24/13 )Bill Gates is getting slammed by media in South Korea for a handshake perceived to be a little too casual.
The founder of Microsoft was photographed shaking hands with South Korea's President Park Geun-hye on Monday. The problem is one hand was tucked into his pants pocket.
Proper etiquette in Korea is to use both hands unless the receiving party is a good friend or with someone much younger. One hand in the pocket is considered very rude.
"Perhaps it was his all-American style but an open jacket with hand in pocket? That was way too casual. It was very regretful," said Chung Jin-suk, secretary general at the Korean National Assembly, according to ABC News.
A spokesperson for Gates has reportedly declined to comment.
It's not entirely clear if Gates knew what he was doing, but he is sort of known for his casual demeanor and appearance. He often appears in public in a sweater, sans neck tie. According to ABC's report, he's 'guilty' of an improper handshake with South Korea President Lee in 2008.

Eastern Washington upsets Oregon State, continues rise of the FCS in Week 1
Eastern Washington is one of those sneaky good FCS teams, but there are really no excuses for Oregon State here. The Beavers' quarterback competition took up much of coach Mike Riley's attention during fall camp, but following their stunning 49-46 upset loss to the Eagles in Week 1, it's clear he should have focused more on the defensive side of the ball.Oregon State gave up 23 points in the second quarter and trailed 29-17 at the break, but bounced back to take a 32-29 lead in the third. Eastern Washington, however, would not go away. The teams traded leads six times over the game's final 20 minutes, with the Beavers going up 46-43 on junior running back Terron Ward's four-yard touchdown run with fewer than five minutes remaining. But with just 18 seconds left, Eagles quarterback Vernon Adams raced two yards for the winning touchdown.
Oregon State's Sean Mannion was surprisingly good (and accurate) under center, completing 37-of-43 for 422 yards and three scores. But he was outdone by an all-world effort from Eastern Washington's Adams, a sophomore who threw for 411 yards, ran for 107 more and accounted for six touchdowns. There is absolutely no excuse for a Pac-12 team to give up 625 total yards to any opponent — whether it went to the the FCS semifinals last year or not.
It was an incredible performance by the Eagles, and another indication that the rise of the FCS is for real. Eastern Washington's blood field — though it didn't host this game — has its first sacrifice of the season:
