UT Dallas also offers a guaranteed tuition plan, so whatever the semester credit hour rate is when you come into your program that will not change during your program.

Small or big? Three 120mm fans, seven 3.5-inch HDDs and even high-end video cards... still think it's small?
Filter Results |
QualityPros: Light Weight Cons: The side panels do not align with the front of the case. There is a gap. This takes away from the aesthetics of the case. The material is thin and is easily damaged. This is an expensive case for what you get. The quality does not match the price point. One could spend a little more and get a silverstone case or less and get one of the dozens of plastic and steal cases. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great case, but not amazingPros: -Brushed aluminum Cons: -Top-mounted fan creates vibration noise Other Thoughts: I have owned at least 3 Lian Li cases over the years. I love the simple bare look of brushed aluminum. I usually add my own sound-dampening material to make them better. Plain aluminum sheet is also easy to modify or replace with custom parts. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
No customer supportPros: The case has a beautiful finish with a near perfect (for me) design. While i don't like the look of the back grill, the case itself is exactly what I wanted. Cons: As another reviewer has pointed out, this case may come with some broken parts. I happened to be in the same situation as another who has posted here and have two broken plastic clips that hold the front cover into place (more care should have been taken with the design of this part of the case anyway) and my front panel usb 3's don't work. I tried contacting Lian Li about this problem rather than having to RMA the case back to NewEgg for what to me is two smaller issues, but I have not had any responce back from Lian Li. Now, a month later when i decided to try again, their website is down with a site domain expiration page. I suppose I may not be getting any support from them after all... So what I am saying is RMA if you have problems from your new Lian Li case. Other Thoughts: Why does it seem that all the negative reviews get instantly down-ranked on NewEgg? There are legitimate negative reviews, if at the very least, occasionally. 3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Excellent mATX CasePros: -Beautifully crafted Cons: -HDD can get a little noisy Other Thoughts: If you have a mechanical HDD moving around, then it can be a bit noisy even with the rubber dampers LL provides, but that also depends on the HDD's themselves. The room behind the motherboard tray was not an issue for me as I have all of my cables individually sleeves, so I was able to fan them out and make them look quite pretty back there. The back panel closed easily and the case itself just looks gorgeous when completed. Did you find this review helpful? |
Nice Case, but can't get any support for broken partsPros: Nice looking and light weight Cons: Can't seem to get in contact with Lian Li customer support to get a replacement for broken parts. When the case arrived, it had two broken plastic clips that hold on the front panel. I didn't want to return the case for this because I thought I could get a replacement from Lian Li. I continued to build the case. After building the case, I discovered that the top mounted USB ports were not working. I know that the motherboard's USB header works because I tested it with an expansion slot usb port that came with the motherboard. Newegg says that they can't help me unless I return the whole case -- which is a real hassle at this point. 3 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great case, outstanding servicePros: Really cool looking. Cons: Using an ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z LGA 1155 Intel Z68, (also purchased from newegg, cause' newegg rocks!) Other Thoughts: Newegg's service and selection is top shelf. Did you find this review helpful? |
PRetty decent, could be a little thickerPros: Not sure what all the nitpicking is about, the thing is pretty sturdy. Got a greta look to it, heck , space? I got a SB CC Twister into it!! lol. Pulled out the fans though, cuz wanted Blue LEds, and that made it looks sweeter, but all in all, the fasn in it were fine. Compact fore sure, major build challenge, come on, whatever. My likey lieky. Cons: I am used to a little bit more thickness from Lian Li cases, but it isn't Raidmax/Rosewill thin by any means. Other Thoughts: If you want a nice little silver brushed compact PC to tuck away somewhere, I like this case, and haven't seen anything else around that is as sturdy, good looking, and building easy than this. (And that's with over 400 builds under the belt.) 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Nice case despite defectsPros: Looks great; aluminum finish is very nice. Interior is neat and flexible. All components installed easily with room to spare. Generally solid construction. Cons: Some of the plastic pieces are cracked or actually broken. My front panel is only held up by three pegs because the fourth was smashed on arrival. Not a great feeling. Other Thoughts: Tried to contact Lian Li support. The e-mail (sent from the form on their own website) bounced back to my inbox with a "quota exceeded" message. Guess I'm on my own. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Return? Poor quality control?Pros: Aluminum, looks good, lightweight, lots of hard drive ports Cons: came with loose screws holding together one of the hard drive bays Other Thoughts: I love Lian-Li, but this is the first time I've ever bought one for myself. It looks nice from the outside, but the screw issues and fingerprints show me that someone dropped the ball. 2 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Beautiful and QuietPros: Small Foot Print Cons: Not all bays can be used Other Thoughts: Bought this case to replace a Lian Li Full Tower as I moved into a smaller place. It has a tiny foot print and is ultra quiet. In addition, cooling is outstanding given the top cover fan. Spacing in side is at a premium so chose your components well. Although it has plenty of bays, most Micro-ATX motherboards do not have that many SATA connectors. If you use the Lian Li optical drive face plates, chose your drives carefully as they need to be a specific length. Otherwise, the backside will hit the motherboard. I had to purchase a new Optical Drive for this. Cable management is tough, although you should expect this with a small case. My full size ATI 6850 graphics card fits nicely but you will need to remove one of the 3.5 bays to allow room for the power connector. This is a great little case, provided that you chose your components carefully. You can easily build a very mid-high end PC, but over-clockers should look elsewhere. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Menachem Z. Rosensaft
Distinguished Visiting Lecturer
College of Law
Syracuse University
(315) 443-4609
B.A. and M.A., Johns Hopkins University
M.A., Columbia University
J.D.,Columbia University School of Law
Menachem Z. Rosensaft received his B.A. degree from The Johns Hopkins University in 1971, together with an M.A. degree from the Writing Seminars. He received an M.A. degree in modern European history from Columbia University in 1975, and received his J.D. degree from the Columbia University School of Law in 1979. After clerking for two years for the Hon. Whitman Knapp, United States District Court Judge for the Southern District of New York, he was a litigator at several New York law firms and an international bank, headed a foundation engaged in cultural activities in Central and Eastern Europe, and was General Counsel of a major financial services firm in New York. The son of two survivors of the Nazi concentration camps of Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, he was born in the Displaced Persons camp of Bergen-Belsen in 1948. He is the Founding Chairman of the International Network of Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and Chairman of the Editorial Board of the Holocaust Survivors' Memoirs Project, a joint publishing endeavor with Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. He is also Vice President of the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and Their Descendants, a former National President of the Labor Zionist Alliance, and Honorary President of the Park Avenue Synagogue in Manhattan.
On May 5, 1985, he organized and led a demonstration at Bergen-Belsen in protest against visits that day by President Ronald Reagan and West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl to the mass-graves of Bergen-Belsen and the German military cemetery at Bitburg. In April 1987, he played a key role in convincing the government of Panama not to give sanctuary to Nazi war criminal Karl Linnas, and in ensuring Linnas's deportation from the United States to the Soviet Union. In December 1988, he was one of five American Jews who met in Stockholm, Sweden, with senior leaders of the Palestine Liberation Organization, resulting in the PLO's first public recognition of Israel. He was appointed to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council by President Bill Clinton in 1994, reappointed to a second five-year term in 1999, and served on the Council's Executive Committee from 1996 until 2003. In June 2009, he was a member of the US delegation to the International Conference on Holocaust Era Restitution Issues in Prague.
He has contributed articles to The New York Times, The Washington Post, Newsweek, The Los Angeles Times, the International Herald Tribune, the Jerusalem Post, the Columbia Human Rights Law Review, the Columbia Journal of Environmental Law, the Fordham International Law Journal, Jewish Social Studies, the New York Law Journal, The National Law Journal and other publications. He is the editor of Life Reborn, Jewish Displaced Persons 1945-1951, published by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Washington, D.C., 2001; co-editor, with Professor Yehuda Bauer, of Antisemitism: Threat to Western Civilization, published by the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, 1988; and co-author, with his daughter, Jodi Rosensaft, of "A Measure of Justice: The Early History of German-Jewish Reparations," published as an Occasional Paper by the Leo Baeck Institute (November, 2003).

It's only fair and I find it clears the air and eliminates the need to wonder, "what exactly is he trying to say?" So here goes.
I come to yoga and life from a background in Western philosophy bridging both Analytic and Continental traditions. In other words, I can mix my Derrida and Foucault with my Hume and Locke and not miss a beat. This might not mean much to many of you, (consider yourselves fortunate), but suffice it to say, this is an unusual combination and typically finds me on the fringes of most debates.
I am okay with this and in fact relish the tendency to avoid fitting in your standard box.
Despite this, or perhaps because of this, I also like to keep things simple.
It's been my experience that more often than not when people are left scratching their heads, it's usually because someone has chosen to substitute an elaborate presentation of smoke and mirrors for actual content. Making words sound pretty, complicated, technical, profound or you can insert your favorite descriptor here, is a great way to gloss over a position's shortcomings, but is never necessary to make a good point.
With that said, we turn to the heart of the matter.
I would maintain there exists within our modern industrial Western society, as well as here on the pages of elephant journal, a dichotomy concerning knowledge. A dichotomy characterized by objective and empirical on one side and subjective and mystical on the other.
I'm sure that many of you are quite familiar with the operation of this dichotomy in your own lives. Although, it can sometimes be hard to place one's finger on it as its presence is often more implicit than explicit (most likely due to the fact that the latter would actually require at the very least an explanation if not an actual argument), in the idea that "real" knowledge only comes in one form.
And so, if you want the privilege of claiming that you know something, then you had better be able to back it up with evidence.
However, not just any old evidence will do. No, your evidence must fit the standards of modern, western, empirical science, or else you run the risk of being relegated to the arena of faith, superstition and even outright silliness. And God knows, you don't want to be one of those people who missed the Enlightenment train leaving you stuck back in the atavistic dark ages of subjective experience.
Have no fear.
For those of you who are not particularly satisfied with the above either/or of knowledge, I offer the following solution; yoga is science.
Well, maybe it's more appropriate to label yoga "a science," instead of "Science" with a capital "S," since there really is no singular entity or pursuit that we could label as such.
Science, of course, is an approach, or in the language of philosophy, an epistemology. Epistemology quite simply is the study of knowledge, but it is also often used to reference the means and methods of coming to know something. The "how" of knowing if you will.
The processes of arriving at knowledge, along with the knower, i.e., you and I, and the object of inquiry, i.e., what we want to know about, constitute the three essential components regarding any discussion of knowledge. For our purposes here we will concern ourselves most with unpacking the processes of arriving at knowledge and even more precisely the similarities between what are often viewed as very different ways of knowing. Further discussion of what is to be known and the nature of the knower will have to wait.
Let's stop and think for a moment about our relationship to the knowledge generated via western empirical science.
I would maintain that the average western citizen's relationship with science, setting aside those of you who are actually scientists, is premised almost solely on the work, research, discoveries and assertions of others. I mean the vast the majority of us are not involved on a daily basis in actual research, or implementation of the scientific method.
Thus, more likely than not, if we come to know something as a result of science it has come to us via another's publication either on the internet, in the popular media (of which I would include the semi-technical treatises published by some of the more popular and well-known scientists often outside their actual field of expertise), or in the more rare cases actual peer-reviewed journals. The latter are perhaps the least popular due to their very technically laden vocabulary and lack of sensational claims of "studies now show," or "scientists now know."
Now, this is in no way intended to minimize the power and impact of science as a way of knowing.
However, it is intended to shine a light on our actual relationship with one particular and very popular way of knowing. Of course, if one wanted to, s/he could very well undertake the necessary steps to actually repeat and verify all kinds of scientific claims.
But the fact is we don't. What we actually do is accept scientific claims on the authority of those who have.
Perhaps an example is in order.
Imagine as a college freshman you arrive at your Physics 101 class just as the professor walks in and writes "E=mc2" on the board. She launches into an elaborate lecture designed to both educate and entertain a new and eager student body about the revolution that Einstein initiated with his discovery, how it took him ten years to prove it, its implications, blah, blah, and blah.
At the end of the class, you marvel at the wealth of learning and leave "knowing" that E=mc2. But, do you really?
You were told so and if you choose to do so you can accept the claim on the authority of your teacher and perhaps Einstein. But you have not actually undertaken the process of science to prove to yourself that E=mc2. And in fact, at this point in time in your academic career you most likely lack the skills necessary to do so and yet still most would say you do in fact know that E=mc2.
I maintain that the above example serves to elucidate the majority of our relationships with the claims of science and scientific facts.
We accept them, and rightfully so, on account of other's expertise, knowledge and experience. There really is no need for the vast majority of us to go out and re-invent the wheel, the work has already been done.
I would also maintain that this is really good news for the majority of us because if we didn't proceed on the authority of others we could potentially end up wasting a lot of our time, energy and resources searching for answers beyond our comprehension.
Returning to the above example, only this time imagine that the word, experience and knowledge of your teacher and Einstein isn't enough for you. You're the inquisitive, skeptical kind, so instead of getting up and leaving, you approach your teacher and ask her to prove E=mc2 to you.
The professor, an up and coming tenure track educator eager to help a budding physicist, takes the time to put a bunch of notation on the board. Throughout the process she explains to you what all the symbols mean, the rules and laws that allow the extrapolations etc., but still at the end you are confused.
You express this to your now somewhat frazzled instructor and in exasperation she tells you that if you really want to understand this, then you will have to prime yourself for the experience.
In other words, you will have to take some more classes in mathematics and physics and then perhaps after many years of study you will be able to actually see that E=mc2. (As an aside, the professor cannot of course offer any guarantees to the student, because remembering the three components of knowledge, it could always turn out that this particular individual will lack the skills and knowledge necessary to demonstrate E=mc2. Any one individual's inability will not in any way besmirch the veracity of physics and Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity.)
Okay, so how does yoga fit into all this?
If you walk into a class and the teacher stands in front of you and tells you that with the practice of yoga you will come to realize your eternal union with the Divine, how are you any different than the above college freshman who encounters E=mc2 for the first time?
You find yourself confronted with a claim for which you lack any real experience, but yet for which there is a long line of authorities who have catalogued their realizations and experiences in support of the claim.
Of course, you have a choice. You can either choose to accept the testimony of these authorities, or you can deny them their claim to knowledge concerning the nature of yoga. However, in choosing the latter, the question becomes upon what ground do you do so?
You might very well choose to question the teacher and ask him to prove this to you. Just as in the above case, the teacher could take to demonstrating the truth of the claim you are asking about by citing numerous sources, personal experiences, studies conducted by others, etc. At this point, you might very well express confusion or even disbelief to wit the teacher will hopefully encourage you to pursue the path in order to prime yourself for the experience.
The crucial similarity between the above examples is that at any particular moment you may lack within yourself the skills, know-how and experiences necessary to make an authoritative declaration either for or against an authority's claim.
One final example to support this point.
Imagine you find yourself in a private audience with Stephen Hawking and he is explaining to you the intricate nature of string theory and the workings of the universe. He explains the details, the arguments in support of the details and the theories in support of the arguments for hours and hours.
At the end you are left numb. It all sounds too unreal and too complicated for you to understand, so you smile at Mr. Hawking and say, "Nice try, but you're crazy. I don't believe you because I don't understand you."
He smiles, acknowledges your frustration, but directs you to some remedial sources to help you grasp the building blocks necessary to arrive at a more complete understanding. Keeping in mind the three essential components for knowledge (the knower, the known and the method) the question is, does your position reveal more about what is to be known or you the knower?
Due to your good fortune, the very next day you find yourself in the intimate association of a self-realized individual who tells you about the universe and your relationship with God as both simultaneously one with, and different from you.
Furthermore, he informs you that you can come to realize the veracity of this account for yourself by chanting God's names and following some simple rules.
Again, you respond with disbelief and walk away claiming that this is simply crazy. The same question remains, does this speak more to the claims made by the self-realized individual, or about your very own limitations and predilections?
The fact of the matter is that yoga, just like all other ways of knowing we would choose to term "science," function on the very same level of practical learning, application, verification and repetition.
One should not expect to step onto her mat or into the ashram and immediately have the capacity to perceive the transcendent Supreme anymore than she should expect she will understand the higher, more complicated theories of physics, mathematics or chemistry upon first walking into the classroom.
Such knowledge and accomplishment requires committed and diligent practice, not to mention the grace and guidance of those who have gone before to confirm the legitimacy of the goal. The point remains that the practice of yoga will provide one just as much certainty regarding the validity of its discoveries as will mathematics regarding one's understanding of E=mc2.
The example of the five blind men attempting to describe an elephant by all encountering different parts and describing it from their unique perspective is well known within the world of yoga, and is the story from which elephant journal gets its name.
This is a powerful story with many, many lessons pertaining to the pursuit of knowledge. Chief among them is that each pursuer has his or her perspective on the elephant, or world. But even more importantly for our purposes here is that each pursuer is on an equal footing.
Each is using the same means to understand their encounter and there really is no ground for one blind aspirant to claim supremacy over another. They are all equally blind and equally justified in their descriptions. For those who want to assert the primacy of a western materialistic science perspective in their descriptions of reality, I would ask from where does their "God's eye" perspective come?
From upon what ground do they stand that they can assert the delusion of those describing the tail or trunk versus those at the leg or body?
Now, by way of conclusion, I would like to leave the reader with a teaser of sorts. What if within the elephant example it was in fact possible to describe the whole elephant? What would be necessary and how would one begin to approach this "God's eye" perspective? I leave this discussion for another piece.

Thank you Tanya.
I look forward to the opportunity to say more.
So what is your position on free will then?
As, the above piece concerns pursuits of knowledge, I wouldn't say that there really is anything related to a discussion of free-will within it. But outside the context of the above arguments, I hold a position in favor of free-will.
Nice piece Thaddeus!
To riff on pere Patanjali's point (Sutras 1:7, paraphrased by me): knowledge can be acquired by direct experience, inference, and the experience of those you trust. In modern western culture, we trust scientists! We trust reports of "studies" – even when we've never seen the data or met the people who analyzed them! Science is our religion (or dogma) if you ask me, with all of the nasty pitfalls that accompany religiosity of other stripes.
What appeals to me most about these EJ discussions – and about your post – is very often they seem to hit on more than one of those three cylinders of Patanjali. Their own empirical knowledge is what people often write about here. They use second-hand knowledge to complement their own (e.g. the second hand "facts" discovered by the ubiquitous and mysterious "they" who do the scientific studies we all read about.)
Yours is a provocative point of view, and I look forward to reading more of you!
Wow, that is very kind and insightful, I look forward to writing more. I couldn't agree more with your opinion and truly appreciate your feedback. Thanks.
Well observed and written. Right on that we do not generally participate in the epistemology of modern science, and respond to most of it religiously. However, most of us are aware that the priesthood of science has internal checks and balances, and that peer review generally validates knowledge, although it can definitely be corrupted by money or megalomania.
But even the structure of peer review would be novel to yoga culture, because it provides an epistemology based on the many, rather than the private revelation of the few. It is common to say "all the texts/yogis agree", but this is not true. Indian philosophy is as chaotic and ragged as anything else: every text and oral lineage says something slightly different as they talk around the elephant. But yoga cannot have peer review with a completely agreed-upon and transparent language for internal experience.
Anyway, nice to read your great points and lucidity, and ponder the big mystery moving forward.
Thank you matthew for you comment. I definitely agree with your point regarding the legitimacy and limitations of peer review, however, for me the issue really revolves more around the very nature of the scientific endeavor and more precisely in the portrayal of this undertaking within the more mainstream media. For it remains the case, with or without peer review, that science is not capable of "proving" anything (http://blog.drwile.com/?p=5725). This is an issue inherent within the scientific epistemology that is far too often either overlooked, ignored, or hidden in order to maintain the ere of legitimacy and authority enjoyed by those associated with the field.
And, you are of course correct in pointing out that "peer review" is and always will be a foreign concept to yoga, but for me this does not in any way "de-legitimate" it as a pursuit of knowledge. It clearly, and I would maintain thankfully, requires a radical responsibility on the part of the practitioner. Whereas with a "peer reviewed" approach to knowledge one may find himself lured into allowing things to fall through the cracks due to an over-arching authority, with yoga the onus lies squarely and solely on the shoulders of the individual to "know" for himself.

Enjoyed your approach of pointing out that the empirical (so called "Western") paradigm is also just one of the blind men experiencing the "haathi" (Hindi for ":elephant "). Yoga is a science and this was described long ago in Patanjali's aphorisms as well as other writings. "Knowing" in yogic practice is essentially not different from scientific investigation. It is only in Western practice that we have isolated one of the lowest rungs (Asanas) of the 8-step ladder and made it so prominent. I am happy that you mentioned "Ashtanga" yoga because that's what it is – not "what type of yoga do you do?".
Thanks Thaddeus!
Now that you made it simpler for me, I thinkI totally agree with you.
ah! and apologies if I sounded abrupt in my first comment.
At first I did not understand much of your piece, and especially after your introduction stating that you wanted to keep things simple, and I got a bit exasperated..

Fiona Southorn (left) of New Zealand competes against Greta Neimanas of the United States in the Women's Individual C5 Pursuit qualification round on Day 1 of the London 2012 Paralympic Games. (Getty Photo / August 30, 2012) |
Chicago cyclist Greta Neimanas finished seventh Thursday in the 3,000-meter individual pursuit, her first race at the 2012 Paralympics.
"Didn't have the race I wanted or that I can do," she tweeted. "Sometimes it happens. On to the next day & next race."
Neimanas, reigning world silver medalist in the event, clocked 4 minutes, 3.20 seconds. It took 3:49 to make the semifinals.
Sarah Storey of Great Britain, the favorite and eventual gold medalist, set a Para-cycling world record of 3:32.17 in the qualifying. That was a slightly more than a second better than her old world record.
Neimanas' next race is the 500-meter time trial Saturday. She also will do two road cycling events next week.

Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS) |
The World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA) developed the Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS) in 2004 to collect data on tobacco use and cessation counseling among health professional students.Description
The GHPSS is a school-based survey of third-year students pursuing advanced degrees in dentistry, medicine, nursing and pharmacy. The GHPS uses a core questionnaire on demographics, prevalence of cigarette smoking and other tobacco use, knowledge and attitudes about tobacco use, exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke, willingness to stop smoking, and training received regarding patient counseling on smoking cessation techniques. The GHPSS has a standardized methodology for selecting participating schools and classes and has uniform data processing procedures.- GHPSS Country Fact Sheets

Valparaiso Police say an elderly man reported missing by his wife Thursday night was found safe about two-and-a-half hours later. Police say the 82-year-old man, who was reported to have early stages of dementia, had left his home to pick-up dinner from a local restaurant when he failed to return after nearly two-hours. Police started checking local establishments, then he was entered into a national computer system and a phone alert was sent to local residents. At 9:45, Sgt. John Patston searching along U-S 30 found a vehicle and subject matching the description at a gas station at Sturdy Road, and the man was eventually reunited with his family.

Roman Polanski Wins Best European Picture Award
Roman Polanski's political thriller "The Ghost Writer" has won the prize for best film at the European Film Awards.
Polanski's movie also is the winner in five other key European Film Academy categories, including best director and best actor for Ewan McGregor. Sylvie Testud from France won best actress in "Lourdes."
At a ceremony in the Estonian capital late Saturday, the academy also bestowed a lifetime honor on Swiss actor Bruno Ganz.
Composer and musician Gabriel Yared was awarded for writing scores to such films as "The English Patient" and "The Talented Mr. Ripley."
The academy has granted the European film prizes since 1988 to celebrate the continent's film industry as a counterweight to the Oscars.

One Rockaways landlord can't afford to make repairs on one family's home and was denied assistance from FEMA. Now he has decided the only way out is to sell the house. NY1's Susan Jhun has the story.
Raymond Hawson and his disabled mother Lorraine have struggled to get by for more than a month without power or heat.
Lorraine said she's in daily pain and to make matters worse, she's confined to the home since she lost her wheelchair in the flood.
"My mother is disabled," Raymond said. "I worry about her everyday and we are beyond the point of stress."
Their situation got even tougher for the Rockaway Beach renters when their landlord said he can't afford to make repairs, which means electricity and heat won't be restored.
Instead, the Hawsons say their landlord intends to sell the house.
"That just left us completely, utterly stunned," Raymond said.
We contacted their landlord who confirmed he plans to sell the house, but says he has no choice because he just doesn't have the money to make repairs.
He claims FEMA denied him assistance because it's not his primary residence and that he didn't qualify for Rapid Repairs either.
The landlord went on to say he has reapplied to the Rapid Repairs program and is waiting to hear back. In the meantime, he says he's not charging the Hawsons rent and would make the repairs if he had the money.
"You know it's just not fair that he does this I'm very surprised," Lorraine said.
The Hawsons, who don't have renter's insurance, were both denied assistance from FEMA.
The mother and son renters have a year and a half left on their lease and say at this point they have no where else to go.
"Please any contractor who would donate their time, money or efforts we would greatly appreciate it," Raymond said.
We contacted the Center For Indepedance of the Disabled in New York and they're say they going to help Lorriane get a replacement wheelchair.
We will keep you updated on the plight of these Rockaway renters.

Lactic acidosis is when lactic acid builds ups in the bloodstream faster than it can be removed. Lactic acid is produced when oxygen levels in the body drop.
The most common cause of lactic acidosis is intense exercise. However, it can also be caused by certain diseases, such as:
A common medicine used to treat diabetes called metformin can also cause lactic acidosis. If you take this medicine, have your electrolyte levels checked 1 - 2 weeks after starting it.
The main treatment for lactic acidosis is to correct the medical problem that causes the condition.

Summary: We explore intelligent motion detecting using compressed sensing. Starting from the proof-of-concept that motion can be detected, we have created an algorithm to deterministically compute the speed of a known object under idealized conditions. We provide an explanation of its validity based on Parseval's Theorem and propose an upper velocity resolution limit for our computation. A framework is provided for extending our work with support vector machines to automatically classify observed motion.

The CD8+ T cell response is characterized by generation of a population of effector cells and establishment of a persistent memory pool. In this issue, Cui et al. (2011) and Siegel et al. (2011) show that cytokine receptor signaling through the transcription factor STAT3 establishes stable memory CD8+ T cells.

St. Luke's is the only program in PA to earn the CoC Outstanding Achievement Award in 2010 and for third consecutive survey cycle
St. Luke's University Health Network has earned the Outstanding Achievement Award from the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons. St. Luke's is the first and only program in Pennsylvania to have received this top distinction from the CoC three consecutive survey cycles. St. Luke's is also the only hospital in PA to receive this award for 2010.
The award is the top distinction attainable by cancer programs across the country. To be considered for the award, St. Luke's first earned the highest level of accreditation available from the CoC, a three-year Approval with Commendation as a Community Hospital Comprehensive Cancer Program.
Established in 2004, the CoC Outstanding Achievement Award (OAA) is designed to recognize cancer programs that strive for excellence in providing quality care to cancer patients. The award is granted to facilities that demonstrate a Commendation level of compliance with six standards that represent five areas of cancer program activity (cancer committee leadership, cancer data management, research, community outreach, and quality improvement), in addition to a compliance rating for an additional 30 standards. The level of compliance with the six standards is determined during an on-site evaluation by a physician surveyor.
"Receiving this type of recognition validates the quality of the work and the level of care the St. Luke's cancer team provides day in and day out," says Lee B. Riley, MD, PhD, Medical Director, Oncology Services, St. Luke's University Health Network. "I am truly honored to be a part of such an outstanding group of oncology professionals, and to know our patients are truly receiving the highest level of cancer care anywhere."
Established in 1922 by the American College of Surgeons, the CoC is a consortium of professional organizations dedicated to improving survival rates and quality of life for cancer patients through standard-setting, prevention, research, education and the monitoring of comprehensive quality care. Its membership includes Fellows of the American College of Surgeons and 42 national organizations that reflect the full spectrum of cancer care.
St. Luke's Cancer Centers provide care to approximately 2,200 new patients each year, offering general cancer care as well as advanced programs for melanoma, lung, breast, prostate, gynecological and gastrointestinal cancers, and brain and spine tumors.

CES: Huawei Ideos X5 runs stock Android
LAS VEGAS--Just as we reported yesterday, Huawei introduced a new phone for the U.S. market at this year's CES, the Huawei Ideos X5. This midrange Android handset is no stranger; it's already been released in Asia. The U.S. timetable is much murkier--Huawei is keeping the U.S. launch date, carrier, and price under wraps until later this month.
In that sense, the specs are no surprise. The slim, trim Ideos X5 has a nice 3.8-inch screen with a WVGA display (800x480 pixels). It looked bright in our hands and we liked the dark gray brushed … Read more
