iOS 6.1 Battery Life
mirbeau Florence, Italy
Am I the only one to experience a noticeable drop in battery time? I have 6.1 and don't use any Exchange account.

I'm noticing while using 3G, but its possible that while using Wi-fi as well. I believe the iOS 6.1 is not reliable in many ways. Exchange bug, unlock screen bug, 3G bug, Wi-fi bug (sometimes I lose my IP and so as my connection)... I really hope that Apple is working right now to get all of this fixed. Tell me your Usage Times, so I can compare to mine.

With a hour of normal usage, I go from 100% to 80%.

I was having a similar problem and I had to delete my iCloud account, reboot, and re-add it again. But I cannot guarantee that it will fix your problem. And actually I did several restores including a DFU restore. 20% is a lot if you only (for example) browsing and on facebook. But if your watching videos from youtube that can be normal. Close all of your apps and monitor the usage from then. I've been on this foruns for a week and no-one seems to have a clear anwser for all the iOS 6.1 problems.
My battery status right now:
Usage: 9h22m
Stand-By: 17h30m
It's not great but I believe it's normal right? I've seen a couple of videos on the web using 3G, email and some sites and I'm listening to music all the time, and 13h of those 17 hours I only had 3G (supposely consumes more battery than wi-fi)

I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch/Ipad/Iphone/Ipod Classic, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
Quoting Sbailey4:
- Do the IOS 6.0.1 update (or any other update)
- Reset All Settings: SETTINGS>GENERAL>RESET>RESET ALL SETTINGS
- Use it until it dies (automatically shuts off)
- Plug into Charge
- Leave it 1.5 hours or longer after it reaches 100% --> Undisturbed (preferably overnight)
- Give it a few days to Calibrate
This has helped me on my Ipod Touch 4th generation, running IOS 6.0.1
Hope that helps!
If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)

I am having an issue with my iPad 3, in that it now says, with all of my chargers, "Not Charging". I have finally gotten fed up, but my brother in law heard about some reports of battery issues. I am surprised that I would be having these issues, because I bought 3 new cables recently, and all of them have this issue.
I have gingerly plugged it into my 10W adapter, and it seems to be consistently charging for now, unlike before, where it would charge, and then as soon as it would power down, upon pressing the home button to reactivate it, it would say "Not Charging."
Would this be related to the issue some of you are having, or might it be the cable or, God forbid, the iPad itself? Is there any test that I can do myself to ascertain what is the source of the problem?
I am using iOS6.1 on an iPad 3.
I have an iPhone 5 as well, and it seems to be very stable with battery life. I haven't had the issues that some people in this thread have had. I do hope this is the issue for me with the iPad, as I would reinstall if necessary.

I've got an iPhone 4 and the battery is lasting about half as long as before the 6.1 update.
I hope Apple fixes this soon...
I wonder how easy/difficult it is to downgrade to the previous version?
Like (0)
I agree I have Iphone 5 and batterytime after upgrade to 6.1 is 1/3 of before
Terrible, it not manage a full day anymore, before I have normally 50 - 60% reamin at evening
Same settings and similar usage
What app / setting drain significant more battery , anyone know ??

After such an update you need to go to settings>general>reset>reset all settings.
Don't worry you will not lose any of your data or media ( a box appears on the screen when you ask phone to do this reset ).
1- After the reset you need to re-do the settings ( notifications, location services, Bluetooth, ......etc ) up to your own preference.
2- Let the battery discharge completely - till phone shuts down - then fully charge ( personally, i leave phone charging for at least 2 hours uninterrupted ).
It worked for me and for many others in this thread and other similar discussion threads.
I hope I've been of any help .....
Kind regards.

6.1.2, i5-version, is DEFINITELY an improvement. Upgraded last night and left the phone unplugged overnight since it was charged up anyway. Now, 9 hours later, I have 98% on the fuel gauge, even though I've BT, Wi-Fi, Cell Data all up, have used it as a personal hotspot on two occasions (~ 10 min each, local bozos won't let Mail contact Apple's SMTP servers... ), checked my bank account, did Weather, sent two SMS messages and took a short (< 1 min) call.
Of course, I don't have, never had and hope to never deal with any Exchange crap on my computer stuff.

Go to -> Settings -> General -> Reset -> RESET ALL SETTINGS - and confirm the changes
This will delete ALL previous settings (WON'T DELETE DATA), and after that you'll have to spend 10 minutes to adjust the new settings you want.
But that is a solution that adjusts the phone to the new iOS version, so it doesn't drain that much battery. Remember that and if you have any further problems with a next version - do the same again!!!
After doing this I had my iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.2):
26 minutes usage
40 minutes standby
and only 2% battery loss, which I think is a normal level of loss!

have anyone applied the new ios 6.1.2 update? what's about the battery life status after applying this update? if anyone has applied the update, please report back here.

I should point out some negatives (just to keep it real!). One was how unfriendly the staff were in general (waiters, room stewards, front desk staff, etc.). I really got the impression that they were not very happy in their jobs. On Princess everyone smiles and says 'hello' when they pass you anywhere on the ship. On this ship when I asked for some information at the front desk, the person I was speaking to started typing (and looking down) while I was there in front of him - as though he was too busy to stop working to answer my questions! The other shocker was having our waiter tell us on Day 5 that he gets no salary whatsoever - his only income is our tips. I couldn't believe that this could be true so I asked at the front desk (this time got the unfriendly manager). She at first said that it was private information, and then added that they are given 'perks' for getting good reviews, but do rely on tips for income. Quite frankly our waiter was not very good at all! I thought if his sole income was tips he should really figure out how to give better service. We also found the food hit and miss, but not as terrible as others have written in their reviews. And finally, it seemed to be a far more party crowd than on any Carnival ship we've been on. All the poolside games were dominated by the under 30 beautiful people (often drunk) who would vote for their friends, and kept the contest one-sided in the judging - not much fun for anyone else to join the activities.
Don't get me wrong - overall it was a really great cruise despite these things. I could tell that RCL was a step-above some of the other lines we've been on in the quality of cabins, and the shows were really first-rate. The Cruise Director & his sidekick (can't remember his title) were a riot - the best we have ever had on any cruise! We put down a future cruise deposit so we'll definitely be back on RCL.

The Journey to FreedomRetrace two of the most influential Freedom Rides of 1961: the original CORE Freedom Ride and the Nashville Student Movement Ride.
Courtesy of "Freedom Riders," a WGBH production for PBS
Washington, D.C., May 4, 1961On May 4, 1961, the CORE Freedom Ride departs Washington. Following several days of nonviolence training, 13 Freedom Riders and three journalists begin the journey on two separate buses. While the Riders attract little media attention, the Washington Post does publish a photo and short article about the Ride. Scheduled stops in Virginia to test segregated facilities meet no resistance. Photo by Getty Images

First off Robert let me thank you very much for the work you have done as treasurer of CCDG and getting the financial books into shape since you have taken over. Well done. But.... If I am not mistaken at March meeting last year after considerable discussion of number of board members as voted on by the membership (last time we had a vote) that section 3.03 you refer to was amended to 7 board members (not multiple choice). It was passed and approved that way, not as from 3-15 on the choice ... more
This is why this club will never be as great as they wish to be. The same people in office that started this mess and they don't aspire to make the necessary changes to make CCDG the club it could be.
holy **** me and billdo agree ...on one thing. CCDG let all the members be involved in "there" club and "you maybe surprised what people have to offer if given the chance". instead of some ego driven pricks picken and choosen - i quote your prez- "those that matter"
Robert 'straight shooter' Jones April 17 at 12:59am
Steve let me try to explain to you again what the bylaws state about board member size. Section 3.03 deals with the size of the board. The board decided on 7 members in the beginning, after the 2 were dismissed for lack of participation, the board decided to keep it at 5 members. Section 3.03 says "The Corporation shall have a varible-range size board of directors. The minimum number of directors shall be three and the maximum shall be fifthteen. The number of directors may be fixed or changed p ... more
Robert is exactly right in his interpretation of the bylaws. The CCDG BOD has total control over "WHO" and "HOW MANY" directors sit on the Board of Directors based on the current adopted bylaws. The membership only had one opportunity to elect the BOD at the adoption of the bylaws. I have seen this ... more
still a shame all the efforts put forth by somany to help this club grow and improve, yet it still is going down into the ****ter. appears that somany new clubs have formed from past ccdg members due to the fact that ccdg has been run into the toilet. TIME FOR A CHANGE IN DIRECTION!
Steve Moore April 17 at 12:29am
So let's try this again since it's been over a year and I do not feel this has ever been resolved properly. I still want to see the bylaws as amended a year ago to have 7 board members which was voted on and passed as the last thing and time members had a vote posted for all to see. Time went on and then 2 board members dismissed without ever being replaced. Now it seems to have got back to 5 board members which is not what was agreed to. After this dismissal of the 2 without replacements to ... more

Sorry bout leaving after talking with you Barry but looked like you and helpers had it covered, Big thanks to those involved. I can probably be available to help with netting with a little heads up once it gets decided which day and time.
Is there a gameplan or date/time for putting up the netting protection? Try to make it there if possible.

So I am at Cascade right now I have some extra shovels if anybody wants to come help dig before the work party at Woods that would be awesome.
awesome job to you and anybody else that helped, the new trees are an awesome addition to cascade.
Thanks for the work to get the trees in at Cascade course yesterday. Not sure who else was able to give Barry a hand with this as I was at Woodmansee work party. Thanks again to all involved and Barry for double duty at both courses in one day.

I would like to introduce myself as the new greenskeeper at Cascade gateway park. I would like to thank Lee for his service and great job. And I hope to continue that service and good work. I need 2 volunteers to help me plant 2 trees Sunday afternoon February 17th.
Hole 16 and 17 both have a dead tree on them. Will start at about 9:00 am and try to make it over to Wood's when where done. I was not tring to swoop on your work praty day, its just that the trees are still in they're root ball and really need to go in the ground in the next few days.I'm hoping to still make Woods by afternoon. "B"
B, if i may??? the tree that was on 13 i think could be key #1 it adds technical to gettin at that hole and if an Alternate ever went in shorter for 13 the tree would be a divide for 13short position and 14 t-pad so long as right of the road is played safe.
AMAZING somebody listened to my suggestion! the trees are freakin awesome. had to get some fresh gas through the bike so took a ride just to checkout cascade trees and i must say they are AMAZING. well done sir! and you came out to woods to do work

I feel that the board as a group and the membership in general has forgotten what our mission statement says: " We are dedicated to strengthening the community by providing and supporting committed volunteers to establish, develop, and maintain disc golf courses so families and individuals of all age and skill level can enjoy the sport in Salem." Maybe just something that all should stop and think about what it means and how each individual can live up to this to strengthen the whole gro ... more
I don't know if anyone will listen or hear what I have to say, but it should be obvious to all that all is not well in our disc community and that is sad. I can only hope for the best and maybe it's time to get back to playing and not worry about it all anymore, to bad but I'll still be on a course sometime, somewhere.
Steve Moore February 13, 2013 at 11:38pm
Just a reminder, February 17th, bring your wheelbarrows, shovels and rakes for scheduled work party at Woodmansee Park course. Will be started by 10:00 and being hosted by myself and Chain Gang Disc Golf to perform maintenance and cleanup on course for general reasons but also to prepare for CGDG Classic the 23rd. Show your support for disc golf in Salem area and give us some of your time to keep our courses in good and cleaned up shape for all to enjoy. Hopefully this can be the start of good things for all and happen at all courses in area.
Thank you very much
Woodmansee is due for some good old fashioned work party fun. CGDG & CCDG alike you enjoy this favorite of locals, so join the PARTY!!!

Chile Astronomy Tour
Join Sky & Telescope in Chile, the "astronomy capital of the world"! From March 27th to April 4th, 2014, we'll visit world-class observatories, see breathtaking landscapes, and observe in crystal-clear night skies.
Waitlist Only - Contact Spears Travel to be placed on waitlist
We'll start the adventure in Chile's capital and largest city, Santiago. In addition to a tour of this thriving economic and cultural metropolis, we'll visit the University of Chile's astronomy department to talk to the scientists and see some of their historic telescopes.
Next, we'll fly north to the beautiful coastal city of La Serena. Besides tours of La Serena and its neighboring city Coquimbo, we'll spend an evening at Observatory Collowara, where Chilean amateur astronomers will show us the glorious deep-sky wonders of the Southern Hemisphere through their telescopes. If you've never seen the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, and deep-sky spectacles such as the Tarantula Nebula and globular cluster 47 Tucanae, you're in for a real treat!
The following day we'll drive to the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, home to more than a dozen professional telescopes, including the 4-meter Blanco Telescope, which has been a workhorse of professional research since the 1970s. That night, we'll visit the Observatory El Pangue, where expert amateurs will give us views though their telescopes, including a 25-inch Dobsonian and a 16-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain.
Then we'll take yet another flight north, to the city of Calama in the Atacama Desert. We will then be transported by bus to the quaint tourist town of San Pedro de Atacama. San Pedro will be our home for the next several days as we visit spectacular desert scenery, including the Valley of the Moon, the Valley of Mars, and Rainbow Valley. We'll see an active geothermal area and you'll have the option to swim in mineral spring waters.
The trip will wind up with a flight back to Santiago, where everyone can stay a few extra days on their own, or fly back to their home countries.

Detailed Tour Itinerary
March 27: We will meet at the SCL Santiago Airport, where private vehicles will bring you to Hotel Fundador, a four-star hotel located in the heart of Santiago.
In the afternoon, we'll tour Santiago, Chile's capital and one of the safest and most modern cities in Latin America. We'll visit Santiago's civic center, which displays Chile's historical, architectural, and cultural heritage. We'll also see distinguished museums, buildings, ancient churches, squares, and parks, including the metropolitan cathedral, the Precolumbian Art Museum, the Plaza de Armas, the Palacio de la Moneda, the Stock Exchange, the Court House, the Forest Park, the ENTEL Tower, the Casa Colorada Museum, and the Club Hipico (Riding Club).
In the evening, we'll visit the Collowara Observatory, located on the summit of Cerro Churqui, 37 miles (59 km) southeast of La Serena. Inaugurated on June 25, 2004, the observatory is a scientific, tourism and education center. The 14-inch Cassegrain-Schmidt telescope and three observation decks offer plenty of opportunity to appreciate the night sky.
In the afternoon, we'll travel to Vicuña, eating a box lunch aboard the bus. We'll also have a snack at a local restaurant as we arrive before we settle in at the three-star Hotel Vicuña.
In the evening, we'll transfer to El Pangue Observatory for a night excursion. The observatory takes its name from the surrounding area, Hacienda El Pangue. The observatory's several telescopes include a 25-inch Newtonian, 16-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain, and a 12-inch Orion Sky Quest.
In the evening, we'll visit the nearby Cerro Mamalluca Observatory to do some observing with the observatory's 12-inch telescope.
April 1: Today we'll fly to the Calama airport on our way to San Pedro de Atacama. Travel includes a transfers between the hotels and the airport. Once we arrive, we'll settle in at the four-star Hotel Casa Don Tomas before heading out for the city.
San Pedro de Atacama is considered the archaeological capital of the country due to its privileged geographical surroundings. The city is located 6,600 feet above sea level and is the center of the Atacama culture. The Padre Le Peige museum downtown exhibits about 4,000 rakes, innumerable mummies, weapons and pottery from the Atacama Indians. At night, we'll observe in Ayllu de Solor.
On our return we'll travel through the imposing Andes mountain range, observing plants and animals in their pristine, natural habitat against an incomparable volcanic backdrop. We'll visit Machuca, a small village with an antique church located near El Tatio, then we'll make an excursion to the Valley of the Moon and the Valley of Mars: salt mountain ranges formed by successive foldings from the bottom of an ancient lake. An easy trek will take us to the top of a great dune, where we'll be able to appreciate the sunset and the changes of colors on the mountains.
April 4: On our final day, we'll transfer from San Pedro de Atacama to Calama Airport before making the connection in Santiago for our international flights back home.
Customer Reviews from 2011 Chile Tour
"The drivers were excellent. I felt that Sky & Telescope's reputation caused the observatories' guides to give us a much better tour than I suspect ordinary members of the public get."
"The professional observatory visits were wonderful."
"The trip was excellent."
"For novice amateurs like me who do most of our stargazing through Sky & Telescope magazine, it was quite an epiphany."

Former Ohio State student-body presidential candidate Amedeo Della Valle is winning ticket vs. Nebraska
Pat Forde at Yahoo Sports22 hrs agoINDIANAPOLIS – Ohio State's Big Ten tournament existence was saved by a mop-haired Italian bench jockey whose biggest claim to campus fame before Friday was his failed write-in campaign for student-body president.
His "platform," as seen in a comical campaign video that was produced as a brainstorm by the Buckeyes student managers: more snow days.
Hey, countryman Silvio Berlusconi came up with much worse than that as Italian prime minister. And for a college audience, I'm not sure how that isn't a winning platform. But apparently the big issue was getting Ohio State students to successfully spell "Amedeo Della Valle."
Far easier to be a write-in candidate when your name is John Smith.
Della Valle finished fifth in the voting with 479 votes. Hold a re-vote today, however, and you would have a different result. The Italian Stallion would be a landslide favorite.
"I definitely would win," Della Valle said with a smile.
Unkempt perms might become the campus hairstyle of choice, too.
Illinois comes up short against Michigan, NCAA tournament bubble bursted
Yahoo Sports1 day agoINDIANAPOLIS – Two shots in the paint. One bounces on the rim and drops, the other thuds off the iron and misses. That's the difference between Michigan's relief and Illinois' dejection.
That is tournament basketball in a condensed, compelling drama.
The Big Ten champion Wolverines won a game that was far closer than anyone expected, beating the Illini 64-63 in the conference tournament quarterfinals Friday. Ten days earlier, Michigan won by 31 in Champaign.
But the motivation to salvage a season is a powerful thing, and so Illinois took an eyebrow-raising, one-point lead into the final seconds. That's when the Wolverines won it with a smart play call and even better execution, Jordan Morgan scoring the winning basket with 7.9 seconds left. But they also had to endure a last try by Illinois, a remarkably good look by Tracy Abrams that came up short and ended any long-shot chance the Illini had of making the NCAA tournament.
'Loser State': No programs from Indiana will be dancing in NCAA tournament
Pat Forde at Yahoo Sports1 day agoINDIANAPOLIS – The last stand of college basketball's Holy Land was brief and inglorious.
Here at the Big Ten tournament, the first two teams eliminated were Indiana and Purdue. The Hoosiers bogged down late and were beaten by Illinois, 64-54. The Boilermakers gave Ohio State all it could handle before falling, 63-61. Thus Elimination Thursday officially left the Hoosier State without a school whose name will be in the 68-team NCAA tournament bracket when it is unveiled Sunday.
From Fort Wayne to Evansville, there isn't even a bubble team to be found. Three days before Selection Sunday, the state is dismissed.
And that is a cultural disaster.
How John Thompson and Nolan Richardson broke through the championship color barrier
Yahoo Sports2 days agoDuring his third season at Georgetown, John Thompson looked up into the stands right before tipoff of a 1975 game in tiny McDonough Gym and saw a bedsheet unfurled with this written on it: "Thompson the n----- flop must go."
Nine years later, his Hoyas won the national title.
During his first year at Arkansas, in 1985-86, Nolan Richardson had a daughter stricken with leukemia and a team with a losing record. Someone added to the misery by issuing a bomb threat on his home.
Nine years later, his Razorbacks won the national title.
Epithets and threats would deter neither man.
Thirty years ago, John Thompson became the first African-American basketball coach to win a national championship. Twenty years ago, Nolan Richardson became the second. As we head into March Madness in a far different time, those are anniversaries worth remembering and respecting.

Pat Forde at Yahoo Sports4 days agoForty names, games, teams and minutiae making news in college basketball, where Marcus Smart's flopping is contagious – and hilarious:
A week from now it will officially be the Most Wonderful Time of the Year: the first NCAA tournament games will be played in Dayton. But there is plenty of ball before then, and plenty to talk about in the last days before Selection Sunday. Let's fast break into it:
It's fitting that in a season where Gus Malzahn completed a journey from high school coach to BCS championship game coach at Auburn, we see some similar up-from-the-bootstraps success stories in college hoops.
Kansas' Joel Embiid to miss Big 12 tourney, 'long shot' for first weekend of NCAAs
Pat Forde at Yahoo Sports5 days agoKansas center Joel Embiid's return to the court will be prolonged, Jayhawks head coach Bill Self said in a press release Monday.
Embiid, the potential No. 1 pick in the 2014 NBA draft, visited a spinal specialist in California on Monday for a second opinion on his lower back, which he injured Feb. 8 against West Virginia and reinjured March 1 against Oklahoma State. The specialist confirmed the original stress fracture prognosis he received in Lawrence. Current treatments have Embiid in the middle of the healing process, which renders him unavailable for the Big 12 championship and unlikely to play in the first weekend of the NCAA tournament. "Based on that, this weekend (in the Big 12 championship) is out," Self said. "Next weekend, we feel like is a longshot, but the doctors are hopeful that if Joel works hard in rehab and progresses that it is possible that he could play in the later rounds of the NCAA tournament if our team is fortunate enough to advance."
What fuels Wichita State? Your hate, college basketball
Yahoo Sports5 days agoST. LOUIS – The Missouri Valley Conference extended a wonderful Arch Madness parting gift to the undefeated Wichita State Shockers on Sunday afternoon.
Seconds after they finished beating Indiana State 83-69, the players were handed T-shirts commemorating their Missouri Valley tournament championship. The shirts had a bracket on the back that said the Sycamores actually won the thing. Nobody noticed until the Shockers were wearing them.
One league's gaffe is another man's gold.
For a program that relishes bathing in the icy water of disrespect, this was perfect. Total domination of the conference ends with a printing mistake that denies the Shockers their first Valley tourney title in 27 years. The players were proudly cloaked in insult as they cut down the nets in the Scottrade Center.
"Hey, hey!" a gleeful Gregg Marshall said upon seeing the shirts. "Someone get a picture of this."
One win from 34-0, Shockers finally seem comfortable in St. Louis
Pat Forde at Yahoo Sports6 days agoST. LOUIS – Gregg Marshall and the city of St. Louis are back on decent terms.
That is a good thing for 33-0 Wichita State.
This has not exactly been Pleasantville for the coach of the Shockers. In his previous six seasons, the site of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament had been nothing but Arch Sadness for Marshall and all Wichita State fans. The Shockers have not won the Valley tourney under Marshall – or under any coach since 1987. That's an astonishing streak for a school that has arguably the best tradition of any current conference member.
Coming into this year's tourney, Wichita State was just 7-6 in Arch Madness under Marshall. Their misery in Missouri included a controversial one-point loss to Creighton in 2009, amid allegations of a clock snafu that went in favor of the Bluejays; an upset loss to Indiana State in the semifinals in 2011, relegating the Shockers to the NIT; an upset one-point loss to major underdog Illinois State in 2012; and a pair of title-game losses, once to Northern Iowa ('10) and once to Creighton ('13).
The best move for Wichita State would be ... to lose
Pat Forde at Yahoo Sports9 days agoIt has been 27 years since Wichita State won the Missouri Valley Conference tournament.
As surprising and frustrating as that streak is for the school, this is no time to end it.
It may sound shocking, but the Shockers should lose a game in St. Louis this weekend. I'm not suggesting deliberately tanking a game – but a loss wouldn't be the worst thing in the world at this point.
It might even be the best thing.
Dragging that "0" in the loss column into the fishbowl of the NCAA tournament would be like loading a 500-pound anvil in with the team travel gear. It's a huge and non-essential burden.
Especially when you're Wichita State.
[Also: Duke bows out of race for last No. 1 seed with late collapse at Wake Forest]
Forde Minutes: Which teams are in the hunt for the final No. 1 seed?
Pat Forde at Yahoo Sports11 days agoForty names, games, teams and minutiae making news in college basketball, where storming the court is an increasingly bad idea:
Major-conference teams have less than two weeks to secure (or fumble) a place in the 68-team NCAA tournament field. It is time to improve (or damage) seeding. To make a stirring (or stumbling) stretch run.
With great drama comes great pressure, and of course great debates. A few to consider heading into the stretch run:

Habitat For Humanity Builds 5 Houses At International Builders' Show
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 6 -- Habitat for Humanity International is working with Cahners publishing company and several of the country's top homebuilders to construct five houses at the Georgia World Congress Center this week in Atlanta as part of the National Association of Home Builders' annual international trade show.
"Habitat for Humanity International wants to show the nation's best and brightest homebuilders what we do, but more importantly why we do it," said Millard Fuller, Habitat's founder and president. "Our goal is to eliminate poverty housing from the face of the earth and we need everyone's help to do that."
Fuller will be available for interviews, along with a Habitat homeowner, at 2 p.m. on Thursday at the build site, located on Marietta Street beside the Georgia World Congress Center.
The project was organized by Cahners, which publishes Professional Builder and Professional Remodelor magazines. Professional homebuilders Pulte Homes, Centex Homes, Hedgewood Properties, Remodelors Council of the NAHB and First Home Builders each designed one of the houses in the build. The Wood Promotion Network donated all of the lumber being used in this week's build.
Hundreds of volunteers have been building on the Habitat houses since the build's kickoff on Monday. The homes will be transported to Atlanta area Habitat for Humanity affiliates in Milledgeville, Stone Mountain and urban Atlanta upon completion and bought by families partnering with Habitat. The houses will be dedicated to the homeowner families in a ceremony on Saturday. Those families are building on their own houses and will pay off no-profit, no-interest mortgages into a revolving fund that will be used to build more houses.
"This is a great chance for folks in Atlanta to come down and see what Habitat does every day with people who need a simple, decent place to live," said Millard Fuller, founder and president of Habitat for Humanity International. "People could spend their lunch hour downtown, hammering nails and helping someone in need."
Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. Founded by Millard Fuller, along with his wife, Linda, Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliates in more than 2,000 communities in 83 nations have built and sold more than 100,000 homes to partner families with no-profit, zero-interest mortgages.

► The crystal structure of e5NT for structure-based design of anticancer compounds ► An extensive 114° domain movement is involved in the catalytic cycle ► Structural control of the domain movement determines the selectivity for AMP ► A unique binding pocket might be explored to design selective inhibitors
In vertebrates ecto-5′-nucleotidase (e5NT) catalyzes the hydrolysis of extracellular AMP to adenosine and represents the major control point for extracellular adenosine levels. Due to its pivotal role for activation of P1 adenosine receptors, e5NT has emerged as an appealing drug target for treatment of inflammation, chronic pain, hypoxia, and cancer. Crystal structures of the dimeric human e5NT reveal an extensive 114° conformational switch between the open and closed forms of the enzyme. The dimerization interface is formed by the C-terminal domains and exhibits interchain motions of up to 13°. Complex structures with adenosine and AMPCP indicate that structural control of the domain movement determines the selectivity for monophosphate nucleotides. Binding modes of nucleotide-derived and flavonoid-based compounds complexed to the C-terminal domain in the open form reveal an additional binding pocket of ∼210 Å3 that might be explored to design more potent inhibitors.

Members of the Board of Trustees, Honored Guests, Esteemed faculty colleagues, friends and family, I am honored at your presence. There are some occasions at which the most important thing one can say is, "Thank you." For me, this is truly one of those occasions. To the Board of Trustees, thank you for allowing me the great privilege of working with you. To our honored guests, thank you for sharing this occasion with our college community. To my esteemed faculty colleagues, thank you for making Nyack the wonderful place that it is. To the gentlemen who have served in this office before me, thank you for your leadership and for making a difference, not only in the life of this institution, but in my life personally. And finally to my family, thank you for your love… thank you for your support… and thank you for being God's most precious gifts to me.
I want you all to picture a scene with me. It is only a handful of years into a new century. A college president stands before a great assembly, speaking on behalf of his school. With a voice that reflects the passion that is in his heart, the President shares his plan for the growth and development of the school. Driven by his intense longing to see this school fulfill its mission -- that President introduces a plan that is bold, even controversial in the minds of some.
In response to the mission that drives him and his school, he reaches a conclusion that is far more than an observation. It is his vision for the future of that school. And he does so with this statement. "A university alone can fill the demand. A university alone can fill the demand."
With these words, a vision is cast, and a bold course is clearly charted. But it is a vision never fully realized. And it is a course never completed.
The year these words were spoken was 1904. The President who spoke them was Dr. Albert Benjamin Simpson. And the school he was speaking about was the Missionary Training Institute, later to become Nyack College.
Our founder's vision was for his Missionary Training Institute to become a university. Simpson saw that only a university could adequately respond to the "demand" or the mission that was laid before it. That same mission lies before us this afternoon.
Obviously, Nyack is in some ways very different today than it was in 1904. When I use the name "Nyack" this afternoon, I use it in a representative, not a geographical sense. For this name envelops -- it depicts not only the Rockland undergraduate campus, but also the Alliance Theological Seminary, the undergraduate and graduate programs in Manhattan, the School of Adult and Distance Education and all of our satellite programs as well. Yes, in some ways, Nyack is a different school than it was in the days of Dr. Simpson.
But in many important regards Nyack today is quite similar to the Nyack described by A.B. Simpson in 1904. We know Dr. Simpson eagerly desired a seminary and it took another sixty years for this aspect of his vision to become a reality. We know that the entrepreneurial spirit in our founder would have embraced adult and distance education and distance learning. We know that his heart to "go" to where need was present would beat in harmony with our Manhattan, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, Kiev and Ohio campuses. So in many ways, Nyack today is very much the Nyack that our founder envisioned over 125 years ago.
Most importantly, our mission is the same, and we share his heart to see Nyack become all that it must become to accomplish this mission.
It is time for Nyack to fulfill all of its founder's vision.
This afternoon, with the help of many from our community, I want to highlight who Nyack is… and who we need to continue to be… if we are to fulfill all of A.B. Simpson's vision. Continue to Page Two: Academically Excellent>>

If you test positive for latent TB infection, your doctor may advise you to take medications to reduce your risk of developing active tuberculosis. The only type of tuberculosis that is contagious is the active variety, when it affects the lungs. So if you can prevent your latent tuberculosis from becoming active, you won't transmit tuberculosis to anyone else.
If you have active TB, keep your germs to yourself. It generally takes a few weeks of treatment with TB medications before you're not contagious anymore. Follow these tips to help keep your friends and family from getting sick:
This is the most important step you can take to protect yourself and others from tuberculosis. When you stop treatment early or skip doses, TB bacteria have a chance to develop mutations that allow them to survive the most potent TB drugs. The resulting drug-resistant strains are much more deadly and difficult to treat.
In countries where tuberculosis is more common, infants often are vaccinated with bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine because it can prevent severe tuberculosis in children. The BCG vaccine isn't recommended for general use in the United States because it isn't very effective in adults, and it causes a false-positive result on a TB skin test. Researchers are working on developing a more effective TB vaccine.

African-American hair
African American hair, and African American hairstyles are the diverse ways that African American men and women style their hair. Because many black people have hair that is thick with tighter and smaller curls than people of other races, unique hair styles have developed. In addition to this, many black hairstyles have historical connections to African cultures.
Since hair is a distinguishing feature of African origins, western beauty ideals characterized black hair, especially the hair of black women, as un-attractive. The Black is Beautiful movement played an important role in reversing these ideas in black communities.
African origins[edit]
Since the beginning of African civilizations, hairstyles have been used to convey messages to greater society. As early as the 15th century, different styles could "indicate a person's marital status, age, religion, ethnic identity, wealth and rank within the community."[1] Unkempt hair in nearly every West African culture was considered unattractive to the opposite sex and a sign that one was dirty, had bad morals or was even insane.[2]
Hair maintenance in traditional Africa was aimed at creating a sense of beauty. "A woman with long thick hair demonstrated the life force, the multiplying power of profusion, prosperity...a green thumb for raising bountiful farms and many healthy children", wrote Sylvia Ardyn Boone, an anthropologist specializing in the Mende culture of Sierra Leone.[2]
In Yoruba culture in West Africa, people braided their hair to send messages to the gods. The hair is the most elevated part of the body and was therefore considered a portal for spirits to pass through to the soul. Because of the cultural and spiritual importance of hair for Africans, the practice of having their heads involuntarily shaved before being sold as slaves was in itself a dehumanizing act. "The shaved head was the first step the Europeans took to erase the slaves' culture and alter the relationship between the African and his or her hair." [2]
After slavery[edit]
Hair straighteners suggest to blacks that only through changing physical features will persons of African descent be afforded class mobility within African American communities and social acceptance by the dominant culture" (Rooks 1998: 177). At the time, wig manufacturers were the only companies that advertised an African American standard of beauty.[3]
In Winold Reiss's Brown Madonna, the Virgin Mother is shown with straight hair. Painted toward the beginning of the New Negro movement in 1925, the work showcased the sense of racial pride popular during the 1920s and 1930s. This classically white symbol of purity and virtue was created with dark skin, asserting the value and respectability of the Black race.
This was a time when Blacks were creating their own successes in society and staking out a niche in the northern cities such as Chicago and Harlem. Part of their personal success at this time, however, was their perceived ability to assimilate, which is portrayed by mother's unnaturally straight hair. Painted lines seem to radiate from the mother's body, giving her an ethereal and heavenly affect. This type of figure—one with straight hair—was revered by Blacks and posed as an example to follow.
Civil Rights Era[edit]
The Afro, which hit its stride in the 1960s, was an expression of pride, connection, power, revolution and differentiation. The Afro first gained popularity with performers, artists, activists, youth and nationalists.[4]
Young people who did not adopt this trend were for the first time judged and subject to "blacker-than-thou" policing by their peers. African Americans began to use their hair as a way to showcase a link to their African ancestors and Blacks throughout the diaspora. The Afro, in conjunction with the Civil Rights movement, was helping to define black identity (Byrd and Tharps 2001: 51).[5]
Some artists used their actual hair as an expression of art. In David Hammons's American Costume, he pressed his own body onto paper to create an image of what being African American means and looks like. Like the way he crafted the hair on the work by applying fingerprints to the paper, during the 1960s and 1970s it wasn't uncommon for Blacks to use chemicals to artificially kink their own hair if it wasn't big enough.
Young Black Americans were 'froing their hair in great numbers as a way to emulate the style of the Black Panthers and convey their racial pride. Although the Afro started in New York, it was Angela Davis in Chicago, an associate of the Black Panther Party, who pioneered the Afro as a political statement. In embracing naturalism, she glorified the Black aesthetic and facilitated its power to connect Blacks in Civil Rights movements. Her Afro became especially notorious because of its presence in her "Wanted" ad, as it was her most prominent identifier. It became a way to celebrate African-ness and embrace heritage while politically rejecting European ideals. Men and women in Chicago and beyond wore it as a way to support a proud way of carrying oneself in the world and occupying space.
Similarly, Wadsworth Jarrell's Liberation Soldiers showcases Afros as almost halos. Combined with the shine present in the men's coats, the painting conveys the spiritual aspect of trans-African culture. These men were seen as angels not only for their place in the Rights movement but also because of their naturalism and portrayal of Black heritage.
In relation to hair, the time between the 1970s and the 1990s could be described as open and experimental. "Despite occasional political flare-ups, individual choice would increasingly dictate African-American hairstyles in this era"[4] Trendy styles like braids were even adopted by whites, especially after white actress Bo Derek wore them in the movie 10. Although braids, cornrows and dreadlocks were becoming mainstream, they stirred up controversy when worn in the professional sphere.
Hip Hop culture in the 1980s created a slew of new trends, one being the "fade" for men. The fade is a hairstyle worn predominantly by black men in which the hair starts off short at the bottom and lengthens as it reaches the top. This style afforded the wearer an opportunity for individuality, as people often cut designs into the back and sides or added different colors to the top [2]
Hip Hop also had an influence on young black women, who now could look to the popular musical artists on TV and album covers for inspiration. Asymmetric cuts like wedges, stacks or finger curls were popular during this time. Interestingly, all of these styles required some form of hair straightening. After the 1970s, men and women tended to turn away from the all-natural looks and began creating their own variety of individualized looks.[2]
Hair styling in African American culture is greatly varied. African American hair is typically composed of tightly coiled curls. The predominant styles for women involve the straightening of the hair through the application of heat or chemical processes.[6] In many cases today, the overuse of heat and chemicals has left some African American women with fairly short and damaged hair.[7] These treatments form the base for the most commonly socially acceptable hairstyles in the United States. Alternatively, the predominant and most socially acceptable practice for men is to leave one's hair natural.[8][9]
Often, as men age and begin to lose their hair, the hair is either closely cropped, or the head is shaved completely free of hair. However, since the 1960s, natural hairstyles, such as the afro, cornrows, and dreadlocks, have been growing in popularity. Despite their association with civil rights oriented political movements, the styles have attained considerable, but certainly limited, social acceptance.[10] In fact, seventy to eighty percent the customers at Ajes Salon in Chicago go natural, most commonly in the broad set or strong set styles. This harkens back to the Afros seen in Chicago in 1960s, except that "it is more tame than if it were naturally big and curly," said Tena Warren, an employee at the salon.
Facial hair[edit]
Maintaining facial hair is more prevalent among African American men than in other male populations in the U.S.[11] In fact, the soul patch is so named because African American men, particularly jazz musicians, popularized the style.[12] The preference for facial hair among African American men is due partly to personal taste, but because they are more prone than other ethnic groups to develop a condition known as pseudofolliculitis barbae, commonly referred to as razor bumps, many prefer not to shave.[13]
Popular culture[edit]
In the documentary Good Hair, Chris Rock, an American comedian, explores the role of hair in the lives of African Americans. He interviews Reverend Al Sharpton who asserts, "My relaxed hair is just as African-based as an Afro because it all came out of black culture."[14] There is a natural hair movement which is taking place in the African American community. This can be evidenced by the proliferation of YouTube videos which depict the "big chop". African American women of varied backgrounds are embracing their natural hair. There are entire websites dedicated to this movement. The most recognizable is curlynikki.com and afrobella.com. Everyday women pot their natural hair journey and give tips on transitioning.

This thread is in two parts:
Part 1 . How to stop emails. Every time I receive an email on my iMac it is duplicated on my iPad Sometimes I don't use my iPad for several days, then when I do, I find anything up to 500 emails that I have already dealt with on my iMac. Is there a way to prevent them going to the iPad?
Part 2. I know one can easily delete emails on the iPad but at any one time I can only delete the number that will fit on a page - maybe 5 or 6. To delete all the emails that come in as above takes ages. Is there a way to delete ALL emails in one fell swoop?

Book Description:We've been conditioned to think that the best way to motivate ourselves and others is through external rewards like money or fame, or by the fear of punishment - the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, Daniel H. Pink says in his transformative new book. The key to high performance and satisfaction is intrinsic, internal motivation: the desire to follow your own interests and understand the benefits in them for you. In Drive, Pink lays out the hard science for these surprising insights; describes how people and corporations can embrace them; offers details about how we can master them; and provides concrete examples of how intrinsic motivation works on the job, at home and in ourselves.
