As a consequence of RNIB's Making Money Talk campaign, UK banks are introducing talking ATM's (cash machines) for their customers, which means that many blind and partially sighted people will be able to use a cash machine unassisted, often for the very first time. Using a cash machine is an extremely safe and convenient way of withdrawing cash, but they can sometimes be the focus of criminal activity.
The common sense advice below has been supplied by the Dedicated Cheque and Plastic Crime Unit of the Metropolitan and City of London Police specifically for blind and partially sighted people, and following their simple steps will reduce your chances of being a victim of fraud.
Many banks and building societies will have cash machines inside their branches, as well as out on the street. Cash Machines may also be available in places such as shopping centres, bus or train stations, or local stores. Do not use a cash machine unless you feel comfortable with your surroundings.
Before beginning your transaction check that you are happy with the machine itself. Make sure you can feel whether the slot from which your cash will be dispensed is free of any obvious obstruction. If you are unsure in any way remember that a machine inside a bank branch or retail outlet is far less likely to have been tampered with than a cash machine facing the street.
If possible shield your PIN carefully from possible hidden cameras or prying eyes. Criminals sometimes fit cameras above or around the keypad.
If using a talking cash machine only use one earpiece from your headphones to gain greater awareness of your surroundings during the transaction.
Do not get distracted during the transaction, particularly by 'well meaning' strangers.
If your card is not returned to you or the wrong amount of cash - or even no cash - is dispensed, report the matter immediately to your bank or building society. Store their card enquiries telephone number in your mobile phone and if you are able call them while you are still at the machine. If this is not possible do call them at the very first opportunity.
NEVER reveal your PIN to anyone.
On completing a transaction, discreetly put your money and card away before leaving. Never leave the machine carrying cash loose in your hand.

Last week, UFC welterweight king Georges St-Pierre candidly revealed that, while he's happy the UFC made Ronda Rousey its first female fighter, watching women's mixed martial arts simply isn't his favorite pastime. Although GSP merely said what most men might be thinking – particularly when Rousey, Gina Carano or Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos aren't involved – his comments didn't sit well with his female counterparts. Former Strikeforce bantamweight champ Miesha Tate (Pictured) – who claimed to be the UFC's second women's signee, though company president Dana White shot down her employment status this weekend – took to her official website to address St-Pierre's perspective on WMMA. Here's what Tate had to say on CupcakeTate.com: "I think the problem with GSP's view about WMMA is that he doesn't have one. If he hasn't ever watched us women fight then he can't say how he really feels about it because he's ignorant. Being old fashioned is fine, but us "modern day" girls aren't asking for your protection, we are asking for your acceptance and we are fighting for equality. If everyone felt about MMA as GSP thinks he feels about WMMA, then he wouldn't have a job. I'm hoping George St. Pierre can open his mind a little bit and actually watch some women's fights. We're coming to the UFC for a reason and it would be nice to have one of my all-time favorite fighter's full support. It won't take long for him to realize we aren't these fragile little creatures when we enter the cage, we are warriors and every bit as deserving of respect as the men." Ironically, Rousey, the archenemy Tate never sees eye-to-eye with, agreed with "Cupcake's" take wholeheartedly by re-tweeting the link to her blog and writing, "Wow. Me and @MieshaTate actually kind of agree about something…"

The Eater Wrap: Zinnia to Close, Sprinkles Arrives, and Meadowood's Xmas Celebrations
It's Friday, which means time for the Eater Wrap, the weekly recap from Eater SF on all the happenings from the local restaurant scene. Feel free to grab some popcorn. Or candy canes. 'Tis the season, after all.
1) The big news today comes from Jackson Street's Zinnia, which will be closing at the end of the year. The sad closure is being chalked up to the unforgiving economy, which not even chef/owner Sean O'Brien could overcome in the former Scott Howard space.
2) Medjool: "It is like the Nordstroms of restaurants." (!)
3) Up in Napa, the Restaurant at Meadowood is more than halfway through its annual 12 Days of Christmas guest chef bonanza. If you haven't been fortunate enough to partake in the festivities, check out Eater's behind-the-scenes recaps of Day Four (LA's Animal guys), Day Five (Naomi Pomeroy), Day Six (Michael Cimarusti), Day Seven (Nancy Oakes/Ravi Kapur) and Day Eight (Paul Liebrandt).
4) Brace: The nail-biting Hottest Chef in the Bay Area competition is down to its final three chefs: Flour + Water's Jon Darsky, the French Laundry's Timothy Hollingsworth and Aziza's Louis Maldonado. Go vote!
5) Speaking of hotness, Miketastic finally filed his big (re)review of SPQR, giving it a solid three stars this time around.
6) As Tsar Nicoulai Caviar packs up and gets ready to leave the Ferry Building, the early odds have Heath Ceramics taking the soon-to-be vacated spot.
7) Probably one of the more entertaining happenings of the last few days took place when Sprinkles and Kara's Cupcakes had an awkward cupcake-van faceoff at Justin Herman Plaza. You do hate to see that.

July 8, 2004 Morningside College receives continuing accreditation from The Higher Learning Commission The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA) has formally awarded Morningside College continuing accreditation. Morningside has held continuous accreditation from the NCA since 1913.
Dr. William Deeds, vice president for Academic Affairs and dean of the college, said, "Morningside College is very pleased with the continuing accreditation, which is an indication of the quality of our institution and allows our students to continue to receive federal financial aid."
The accreditation is for both the college's undergraduate and graduate programs. Morningside, founded in 1894 by the Methodist Episcopal Church, offers five bachelor's degrees, including bachelor of arts, bachelor of science, bachelor of music, bachelor of music education, and bachelor of nursing, and a master of arts in teaching degree.
The HLC requires NCA member institutions to undergo evaluation every 10 years. In February, a 5-member evaluation team from the HLC was on Morningside's campus to visit with college constituencies and to review supporting documents and evidence for the self-study report that college staff had prepared during the previous year.
Morningside's last evaluation had been in 1994.
Members of the HLC evaluation team included: Dr. Richard Hanson, dean of the college and vice president, Augustana College, Sioux Falls, S.D.; Dr. Elizabeth Brent, vice president for student development and administration, Rockhurst University, Kansas City, Mo.; Dr. Thomas Courtice, president, Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware, Ohio; Joni Blake, director of library and information services, Stephens College, Columbia, Mo.; and Dr. Elizabeth Fischer, health professions advisor and lecturer in chemistry, Lake Forest College, Lake Forest, Ill.
The college's 15-member self-study steering committee was co-chaired by Dr. Mary Leida, dean of advising, and Dr. Steve Nimmo, associate dean for Academic Affairs. Morningside sought input from alumni, students, faculty, staff, and the Siouxland community for the self-study report.
For more information on Morningside College and the accreditation process, go to webs.morningside.edu/hlc or contact Cathee Phillips, director of Public Relations, at 712-274-5320.

I generally would be flyfishing but I'll bring my ultralight too. If anyone has any tips on where to go and if they're are any hatches going on at that time let me know what the best flies to use are. Thanks

HEllo all ! I started here also some weeks ago and i have to say it's quite addictive ! i can't stop composing for here since i began end of decembre, trying to do a lot of different style.. It's quite a good excercice and very interesting to have some feedback directly after finishing the song… Maybe it's like that at the beginning it's exciting and in some weeks i'll be used to, but now i pass hours making music for here !
Should i see a doctor ??
Haha ))) No, my friend. Just a green tea with honey twice a day after meals. And a hot compress. We can do all without a doctor. )) (And… I like your music!)
HEhe thanks i will make some tea now !
I have 6 files pending now, and a lot to finish and upload.. Can't stop !!
It is very addictive, I guess it's because it's so rewarding having people purchase our music

Good job there, my friend. You're lucky! Most of us others only got infected with the F5-disease, also known as the "refresh-AJ-every-10-seconds" disease At least your addiction is productive
On a more serious note, AJ can be motivating quite often. I constantly think of new ways to produce sound effects and it's mostly because of the motivation I get from AJ. For example, I was smashing some vegetables yesterday and it was fuuuuuuun!

Derek Dooley's bright orange slacks have become a hot topic in the Volunteer State this fall. But while the coach is the guy who chose to wear them, he's apparently getting a little tired of talking about them:
"That's the last thing I'm worried about. I can assure you the orange slacks aren't the reason we're winning."
Those pants might not be pretty to look at, but at least Dooley knows where his pants are.

What is Xvid?
Xvid is a video codec for PC, whereas codec is an abbreviation for [co]der/[dec]oder, hence describes a program to encode and decode digital video. The purpose of encoding video data is to reduce redundancies that means to make it smaller for faster transmission over computer networks or for more efficient storage on computer disks.
Hence, Xvid can somewhat be seen as a ZIP for video. But unlike ZIP, Xvid is not lossless. That means that a video after compression and decompression with Xvid won't be identical to the original source. Typically however, a difference to the source is visually imperceptible.
So Xvid removes information that is not important for human perception, which is somewhat similar to MP3 for audio. This enables very high compression rates that allow to effectively work with digital video on home computers at all. To give an example: uncompressed digital video is huge and requires about 100 GB per hour at PAL resolution. The same video would require just 500 MB per hour at very high quality when compressed with Xvid. That is a compression ratio of 200:1.
Xvid is Free Software and released under the GNU GPL license. This means that the source code of the software is publically available and programmers are allowed to make modifications to the code. Also, redistribution of Xvid is permitted but only under the terms of the GPL license.
So the GPL grants recipients more freedoms than its common with other software. Therefore, and due to its very high image quality that has been approved in independent tests conducted by third parties the Xvid codec has gained great popularity in the recent past and has become the codec of choice when it comes to exchanging digital video.
Why use Xvid?
Since Xvid is Free Software released under the GNU GPL license, you can obtain Xvid free of charge, without time or feature limitations. Also the Xvid source code is publically available and can be reviewed by any interested programmer. Because of this, Xvid provides many advantages also to users.
The availability of source code for programmers makes it possible to have Xvid running on many different platforms. Also, even in the unlikely case the original Xvid programmers may discontinue development, Xvid could still be made available to new platforms or new operating systems by anyone interested without involvement of the original developers. With usual, so-called proprietary software where source code is not available to the public, users are stuck in case the creating company goes bankrupt or discontinues the product.
Another advantage from open-source software also for non-developers: many proprietary software supposed to be free or marketed as free of charge ship with spyware or adware that pollute your system and report about your personal interests to marketing agencies or constantly display ads while youre working. Such software may not only be annoying but could also represent a severe security threat to your system.
Xvid does not spy on you, is totally ad-free and does not transmit any of your data behind your back. Since the source code of Xvid is available to the public, everyone can check for themselves and see that theres no malicious code in Xvid. This constant review by independent third parties makes Xvid really safe to use.
Xvid and Your favorite video application
Due to its free availability and developer-friendliness, Xvid is supported by many video related applications. That means there are a lot of applications available that support playback of Xvid video or use Xvid to encode video.
Many of these applications are Free Software as well and can be used free of charge. So theres a whole ecosystem of free tools available around Xvid that help you carry out almost any task you can imagine around digital video.
video editing and playback solutions
Share Xvid video between all Your devices
Theres wide-spread support for Xvid video in hardware devices. E.g. DVD players or portable media devices can handle Xvid video. Also, a lot of devices come bundled with Xvid to permit the interoperable creation of content or enable playback of video on PC that has been recorded with devices such as digital video recorders or digital cameras, camcorders or mobile phones.
Award winning picture quality
While you can obtain Xvid free of charge, the quality of the codec is outstanding and surpasses that of competing, expensive products. The Xvid encoder has won several awards and has been found in independent tests to provide superior picture quality and more efficient video compression than any other comparable video codec.
Amazing speed
Next to delivering great quality video, Xvid is also very fast both for de- and encoding. Special optimizations also for the very latest features of PC processors like hyperthreading, dual-core or SSE3 instruction set guarantee high-performance video playback and creation.
What use Xvid for?
At home
Due to its speed, high-definition video compressed with Xvid can be easily played back on todays PCs or PAL video from e.g. a TV card can be captured in real-time using the Xvid codec. A major strength of Xvid is the premium picture quality it delivers, especially for offline, multi-pass compression. Therefore, the Xvid codec is ideal for archiving home video on DVD or CD. Consequently, many digital cameras or DVD players come bundled with the Xvid codec today.
On the road
The Xvid profiles also permit the interoperable creation of compressed video for use in hardware devices like personal media players and mobile phones. Using Xvid, several hours of video can be squeezed onto a USB stick in order to watch video on a portable device on the road.
On the network
Besides storage and archival purposes, Xvid is also always useful where video shall be transmitted over a network, e.g. in case you want to share one of your videos with your friends via the internet. Compressing such video with Xvid dramatically reduces download times and expensive traffic while retaining high quality.

Oil on canvas
In 2003, the donation by Aube and Oona Elléouët of the Portrait of André Breton was a stunning addition to the portrayal of the early years of the dawn of Surrealism in Paris.
Romanian-born Victor Brauner settled in Paris in 1930. His neighbour, Yves Tanguy, introduced him to Breton and the Surrealists at the café on the place Blanche in the autumn of 1933. To mark his membership of the group which would last until 1948, the following year Breton prefaced Brauner's first exhibition at the Pierre Gallery in the following year. The portrait was perhaps painted at this time, like those of Benjamin Péret (which came into the museum's possession via the Jacqueline Brauner bequest) and of René Char (private collection) , both also dated 1934. Brauner gives the face a hallucinatory appearance as if to place it "in the very disturbing visual circle in which the apparition fights in the twilight with appearance", conjured up by Breton in his preface.

monad mo·nad (mō'nād')
An atom or a radical with a valence of 1.
A single-celled microorganism, especially a protozoan of the genus Monas.
Any of the four chromatids of a tetrad that, after the first and second meiotic divisions, separate to become the chromosomal material in each of the four daughter cells.
(from Greek monas "unit"), an elementary individual substance that reflects the order of the world and from which material properties are derived. The term was first used by the Pythagoreans as the name of the beginning number of a series, from which all following numbers derived. Giordano Bruno in De monade, numero et figura liber (1591; "On the Monad, Number, and Figure") described three fundamental types: God, souls, and atoms. The idea of monads was popularized by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in Monadologia (1714). In Leibniz's system of metaphysics, monads are basic substances that make up the universe but lack spatial extension and hence are immaterial. Each monad is a unique, indestructible, dynamic, soullike entity whose properties are a function of its perceptions and appetites. Monads have no true causal relation with other monads, but all are perfectly synchronized with each other by God in a preestablished harmony. The objects of the material world are simply appearances of collections of monads.

Methanol fuel cells-- how cost-efficient are they?
IdaTech, a fuel-cell manufacturer in Oregon, announced a smallish new fuel-cell power supply today, the 250-watt iGen. The announcement caught my eye because I've written here a few times about fuel cells and other alternative energy sources (including the nuclear reactor piece last week), and this time I was able to figure out the device's approximate cost of operation, something that usually isn't disclosed for fuel cells.
The iGen's 250-watt output rating doesn't sound like a lot, but it's over half an average person's home electricity consumption. A continuous supply of 250 watts … Read more

Who follows dream-deadly delights Designed to tear a life to shreds-- To gladly toss all sense behind-- Hunting True Beauty without end? The Search for Beauty grabs wild wayward souls Its teeth saw-toothed-- and sure to harm But heedless-- brilliant victims venture on Afraid to lose the scent of charm Victoria Anderson-Throop 2013

Absolutely fabulous! Used cayenne pepper instead of crushed red pepper for a little kick.
Reviewed Oct. 2, 2012
I had never made Cioppino before so I didn't have anything to compare it to but I thought it was really good and it was so easy. Usually I try and follow the recipe the first time before tweaking it. But I was making this for my stepson so I left out the spinach and I also diluted the broth because I was afraid it might be to much tomato with the pasta sauce. So, I added a full can of chicken broth and probably 3/4 cup water instead of 1/4. It was a hit and I would definitely make it again.
Reviewed Aug. 1, 2011
This was the Best I have ever made !!!!
This was very easy and delicious...just the right amount of heat ....Thanks for the recipe,this is a keeper !!

Another longtime girls basketball coach has announced he won't return to the sideline next season.
Bellevue East's Scott Jensen said Thursday that he'll be leaving the school after 22 years to accept a position as assistant principal at Fremont Middle School. Jensen, who is Bellevue East's dean of students, has guided the Chieftains the past 19 seasons and led them to three state titles.
"It was a really tough decision for me," he said. "This is the first job I've applied for in 22 years so this will be something totally new for me."
Jensen's move comes eight days after Seward High School announced that Tom Tvrdy was stepping down as the girls basketball coach. Tvrdy had coached the past 12 years at Seward, guiding the Bluejays to four consecutive state titles from 2009-2012 and a 104-game win streak.
Jensen said he and his family — wife Robyn, daughter Rylie and son Jadyn — will soon be moving to Fremont. Rylie, a freshman guard who averaged almost eight points this past season, will play next season for Fremont High.
She'll join All-Nebraska forward Jessica Shepard as a newcomer for the Tigers. Shepard, a sophomore at Lincoln Southeast, will transfer to Fremont because her father, Mark, has been named the superintendent of Fremont Public Schools.
"Rylie and Jess have played together for the Cornhusker Shooting Stars (select team)," Scott Jensen said. "I think that will make leaving Bellevue East and going to Fremont High a lot easier for her."
Jensen led the Chieftains to the state tournament 12 times. Bellevue East captured titles in 2002, 2006 and 2011 and finished as the runner-up under Jensen in 2004 and 2005.
The school went 19-6 this past season, losing to eventual Class A champion Southeast in the first round of the state tourney.
It also was a season that saw former All-Nebraska guard Jayla Hobza miss several games for the Chieftains because of personal issues. Jensen said Hobza recently verbally committed to play next season at Trinity Valley Community College in Athens, Texas.
"It was a tough situation," Jensen said. "But I was proud of what our team still achieved, and I think Trinity Valley will be a good fit for Jayla."
Jensen added that the Fremont position came open a few weeks ago and he interviewed for the job last week.
"I'm excited for the potential I'll have there," he said. "This will be the next step in my professional career and I'm looking forward to the challenge."
The move to Fremont also will bring the Jensen family closer to the Fritsche family. Matt Fritsche, Jensen's brother-in-law, was the girls basketball coach at Bellevue West before leaving in 2012 to become the women's basketball coach at Midland University.
"That's another thing that will make the move a smooth one," Jensen said. "Our families are very close so it just seemed like another factor that supported the move."
Jensen, who compiled a 334-143 mark at Bellevue East, said he has no immediate plans to coach again on the varsity level. He will help coach his daughter's Shooting Stars team this summer and coach his second-grade son Jadyn's team next season.
"I can't say enough about all of the hard-working girls I got the opportunity to coach over the years at Bellevue East," Jensen said. "And to have the success that we did is something I'll never forget."

Jewish Museum in Prague |
POSTPONED EXHIBITION ADOLF KOHN - Painter of the
Prague Ghetto
exhibition was the first independent display of artworks by Adolf Kohn.
In total, there were about 120 paintings exhibited, mostly from the collect-ions
of the Jewish Museum in Prague, together with loans from the National
Museum in Prague, the City of Prague Museum and private collectors. Visitors
were given their first ever opportunity to compare Kohn's works dating
from various periods and showing different views of the hidden corners
of the Jewish Town and to appreciate their distinctive naif poetry. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue (in English and Czech), which includes over 100 full-colour reproductions and a list of his major works. This can be ordered from the Museum's address, by email: sales(z)jewishmuseum.cz, or online at: www.jewishmuseum.cz/shop/ashop.htm MUSEUM
LIBRARY CATALOGUE As well as having the opportunity
to search online for records of documents from the library collection,
registered library users are also able to extend loans, order documents
from the library depositories for a specific time or reserve books that
are out on loan. TRAVELLING EXHIBITIONS
ON JEWISH HISTORY AND TRADITIONS IN THE DĚČÍN SYNAGOGUE Each exhibition consists of
twelve wall panels which combine text and pictorial information in an
attractive graphic presentation. By viewing illustrations of ritual, historic
and artistic objects and documents, visitors have an opportunity to become
acquainted with the fundamentals of Judaism and the main Jewish festivals
and events in Jewish history. The exhibitions here also feature a group
of ritual objects related to certain Jewish communities in north Bohemia,
in particular Teplice, Děčín and Česka Lípa. Many of the exhibits also
document the contemporary life of local Jewish communities. The items
are being exhibited in display cases that have been donated to the Děčín
Synagogue by the Jewish Museum in Prague. The exhibitions are complemented by a large group of artworks by Josef Císařovský, which are on display in the synagogue gallery. Most of the paintings are inspired by the Jewish cemetery in Hostouň, Central Bohemia, from where the artist comes. This project was prepared for the European Day of Jewish Culture. RENOVATION OF THE ÚŠTĚCZKSYNAGOGUE
This important Jewish monument has been rescued largely thanks to support from the Regeneration of City Heritage Zones programme and a contribution from the International Fund for the Help of Holocaust Victims. The permanent exhibition was put together thanks to the help of the Jewish Museum in Prague and its Foundation. EUROPEAN DAY OF JEWISH
CULTURE 2003 NEW ACQUISITIONS OrliCZKlater used these precise
sketches, drawn in pencil and blacCZKchalCZK, as a basis for lithographic
portraits. His lithographs, which are more like caricatures than realistic
portraits, were printed in an album entitled "Brest-LitovsCZK1918". The set of drawings from the
OrliCZKestate were generously donated to the Museum by the artist's niece
Anita Bollag from North Caldwell, New Jersey. This was arranged via the
Project Judaica Foun- dation, which is run by a long-term supporter of
the Museum MarCZKTalisman, and with the help of another long-term friend
of our institution, Rabbi Norman R. Patz, Chairman of the Society for
the History of CzechoslovaCZKJews. Some of the drawings will be on show
at an exhibition of OrliCZKportraits that the Museum will be presenting
to the public at the beginning of next year. This donation significantly enriches the large collection of OrliCZKs works in the Museum's collection and is of particular importance as a unique historical document. UNDER PREPARATION… At present, about a fifth of
the total number of encyclopaedia entries (of which there will be several
thousand) have been completed. Photographic documents from the Museum's
archive are either attached to the entries or can be ordered separately. KAREN LEVINE PROMINENT VISITS July

What a relief to see a dilapidated downtown Albany building finally come down.
Last month, the city finally tore down one of its own; a rundown apartment building on Odom Street. Progress, yes - but there's still much more work to be done.
Eyesores have long been recognized as a deterrent to growth and development, and Albany certainly has its share. They're not only unsightly, but they are often havens for drug users and vagrants.
It's not uncommon for them to catch fire when vagrants light fires inside to try to stay warm; and that poses a threat to surrounding homes and businesses.
So we applaud the city of Albany for taking down its own eyesore, and we encourage code enforcement officers to continue to press forward in making Albany the beautiful city it once was.

In Part I, Part II, and Part III, I listed and analyzed seven options, analyzed them and also pointed out that the President's 14th amendment option, actually makes turning to the 14th as a justification for continuing to issue debt beyond the ceiling, a last resort, and also places an obligation on the President to exhaust other available options, whose legality is probable, but not finally determined by the Supreme Court. But, in his recent Press Conference, the President also failed to recognize any differences among the options in relation to his main point: that loss of public confidence caused by legal challenges would affect sales of debt instruments and other options including Platinum Coin Seigniorage (PCS).

Major, Minor & Emphasis
There are many reasons to consider a computer science major at UW Oshkosh -- both in terms of the employment opportunities afforded its graduates and the overall program objectives and learning outcomes that we strive to achieve.
As a freshman or sophomore computer science major, your focus is on a basic core of courses that are taken by all majors. Then in your junior and senior years you choose from one of three areas of emphasis -- the computer science emphasis, the software engineering emphasis, or the computer information systems emphasis. All of the emphases focus on software development, with the differences between them determined by the types of software development skills that you learn.
- The Computer Science Emphasis focuses on the fundamental practical and theoretical foundations of computer science. It is particularly appropriate for students who want to develop scientific and technical infrastructure software such as compilers, operating systems, and computer graphics. It is also the emphasis that offers the most comprehensive preparation for students who are considering a graduate degree in computer science after finishing the major at UW Oshkosh. This emphasis requires some additional math and computer science theory courses. It is the only one of the three emphases that is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 150, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, phone: (410) 347-7700.
- The Software Engineering Emphasis focuses on a study of the formal methods that help ensure software systems are reliable, maintainable, and meet their design goals. This specialization is becoming increasingly important as computer systems become larger and more complicated, often being developed by teams of programmers who must carefully coordinate their efforts.
- The Computer Information Systems emphasis focuses on the development of application software for companies such as banks, insurance companies, and other private or governmental organizations.
Much of the information about the major on these pages has been collected into an Advisement Bulletin, which you may download and use to help in planning your schedule and making sure that you are meeting all of the major requirements. Hard copies of this bulletin are also available at the departmental office. You should also feel free to make an appointment with your faculty advisor or the department chair if you have advising questions.

I am trying to clear some space on the hard drive of my laptop for a photographic trip. I have removed almost all of the images from library in LR3 and removed them from the computer hard drive. Running Windows Vista I only use this laptop for photography. I only have LR3 installed in it. The hard drive still is shown to be 3/4 full. I don't know what is taking all of this space.
Where do I look to see what is taking up this HD space and how do I clear the HD more?
A preliminary question: When you say you've removed things from LR and your hard-drive, are these backed up somewhere else, or do you really never need to see them, again?
An obvious question: Have you emptied your recycle-bin?
And another: have you checked to see that the images are actually deleted, if you used LR to do it, sometimes it doesn't actually remove the files.
How many images did you remove? How big are the images in megabytes? How big is your hard-drive? Just to check if the amount of space used by the images you deleted is what is free, now, and there's a massive amount of hidden datas to find. If you don't know how many images, then open the most recent backup copy of your catalog, before you started cleaning, and see what it tells you. The backup catalogs should be in a backup folder under where your current catalog is stored, which you can see in your preferences.
Another thing to do on a trip is to get a little USB-attached drive, the kind that doesn't use a separate power-supply, and make a copy of your images over on that so if you run out of space on your laptop you can move the images off,. Temporarily, and have an extra backup of everything even if you don't move any images off the laptop, in case something is stolen or destroyed, somehow.

Since 1958, George's Bakery has stocked everything necessary for a Mediterranean dinner party or an authentic Wednesday night. Crowding the shelves are specialty spices, fresh pita breads, olives, and all kinds of imported canned goods. Along with baklava and other pastries, the store sells hookahs and the flavored tobacco they need to survive.
Housed within the antiquated Amos Blanchard House and Barn Museum, the Andover Historical Society preserves artifacts and archival records from Andover's storied 350-year history. Within the more-than-100-year-old building, visitors can experience what it was like to live as a middle-class family in the early 19th century or peruse the vast library archives. The society also hosts events within the community, including the seasonal Tree Time display and lectures on the town's history.
Childhood friends Justin Rosberg and Jason Parent own shops in locations from Maine to California. Each branch of The Meat House, though, is nestled into its respective community and filled with local ingredients. As Justin told FOX Business, "we try to source as many products as we can from within a 100- to 200-mile radius."
The display cases brim with marbled cuts of Prime and dry-aged beef as well as chicken breasts in lemon-pepper or sun-dried tomato marinades. When available, the butchers also slice cuts of venison, alligator, or boar. The Meat House's prepackaged rubs and marinades fill the air with the aromas of garlic, peppercorns, hickory, and molasses like exam time at Scratch-and-Sniff Sticker College.
Lobster Tail is dedicated to providing you with the finest quality seafood that money can buy. We guarantee the freshest seafood delivered daily.
Our restaurants and fish markets have been serving New England's freshest lobster, fish, shellfish, and more seven days a week for over 15 years.
Since 1956, visitors to Elia's Country Store have enjoyed the shop's cozy, country feel along with a butchery of pre- and custom-cut meats, natural beef steaks, platters, and ready-made meals. Behind the counter, pork, sausage, choice beef, and Brandt all-natural beef offerings such as the bone-in rib-eye cowboy steak ($9.99/lb.) carouse with marinated chicken breast ($3.99/lb.), creating a delectable party that mouths beg for invitations to. Thinly sliced delectables splay across party platters laden with more than 10 savory cold-cut favorites such as roast beef, capicola, and a variety of cheeses ($2.75/person). Consult the meat masters about a custom cut of boneless sirloin or pork loin, or ready dinner plates for a landing of barbecue-marinated chicken wings. Stomachs racing the clock can sprint by Elia's ready-to-cook items to place stuffed portabella mushrooms into home-oven bull's-eyes in record time.

FCP X - Exporting process for youtube, web and dvd
I was hoping someone could walk me through how to export a final project for Youtube, DVD and a website. These files are going to be handed off to someone else, so I'm not looking to directly post or author a DVD at thsi time. The final project is two hours long, so I understand it will need to be split up at some point. Using FCP X 10.0.7 |

Feb 19, 2013, 10:03 AM | #2 |
I have just recently seen a nice video on how to create an exporting target that will create all the files for you. This is very comfortable if you do this more often:
Other than that: Exporting in FCPX is pretty straight forward, they have nicely working presets for most things. If you want more control over quality and filesize, you will have to go via Compressor. |

Feb 19, 2013, 10:45 AM | #3 | |
The thing I don't understand is how can you turn off FCP trying to share and post to your accounts, lets say youtube for example. I just want to create the files for youtube and then give it to someone else to use as they see fit. Is there a step I'm missing? |
0 |
Feb 19, 2013, 12:36 PM | #4 | |
So, I have two options for you: Either buy Compressor (which is very neat, by the way) or you can just export as "Quicktime (original file)" which will be huge but with very little quality loss. Then you open the file with Quicktime (you can actually check the box to have it opened automatically after export) and in Quicktime choose "File->Export for Web" and pick whatever sizes you want. Other than that, you can just try to not put in youtube Account information (make a new youtube target and leave it empty) and see where the file ends up. But I haven't tried that... Good luck! |

Exams and TestsThe typical physical exam of the torsed testicle reveals a painful scrotum with one-sided testicular swelling and elevation. Lab tests may include a urinalysis and blood count. The scrotum may also be imaged by one or more radiologic studies. Imaging may include a Doppler ultrasound of the testicles or a nuclear scan of the testicles to assess the degree of blood flow. Depending on the physical exam, and/or the time frame, imaging may not be done, since emergent treatment is essential to preserve the testicle.
