Nour Fakhoury | Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminology | Kristine Ajrouch | Academic Achievement and Attitudes of Arab American Immigrants
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of the age at arrival, attitudes of students, reasons for migration, and the host country's reception on Arab American immigrant students and their academic achievement. Arab American students who arrived in the United States at age 10 or older will be recruited from two different high schools. Surveys will be administered to students in order to obtain information regarding these and other variables, and twenty Arab American immigrant students will discuss their experiences in depth during open-ended interviews. Official student academic records will be obtained to reveal how this group is performing academically. Findings from this study will shed light on how this specific immigrant group is faring in the United States.

Vanessa A. Lancaster | Teacher Education | Alane Starko | Academically Gifted Adolescents Transferring to an Independent Gifted School: Effects on Academic Identity
This qualitative study compares experiences of transferring to an independent gifted school on the academic identity of gifted adolescents from low-, middle-, and high-income school districts. Focus groups and interviews of gifted 6th-12th graders inform data demonstrating how changes in school SES context shape academic identity. Students discuss perceptions of academic success, how transferring schools has affected academic success, how prior school(s) prepared them academically for a gifted independent school and how that preparation affects overall experience at the independent school, and challenges they've overcome as transfer students. Suggestions are made for gifted schools to develop program plans that will best reach adolescent transfer students from various backgrounds. This study opens doors for future studies comparing academic identity of adolescent students in various school contexts. Additionally, future comparison studies can be made with students who attended a gifted school from primary through middle/high school.

Peter A. Stern | World Languages | Wendy Wang | Accent Recognition among Adult Chinese Listeners
This study addresses standard American English as a representative 'World English' and focuses on perceptions of accent as an important component in pronunciation learning. Twenty-five Chinese listeners and ten American controls were asked to listen to a short English passage read by four English-fluent speakers: two Chinese and two American. The subjects were instructed to choose whether each speaker was Chinese or American, and to indicate why they thought so. Results indicate that Chinese listeners have some difficulty in discerning between accents in their L2 and that they attribute their distinctions between accents to a wide variety of phonological phenomena: primarily, to pronunciation of vowels and to word stress or intonation. This is in keeping with previous research. Students wishing to adjust pronunciation need to be taught what to listen for in terms of both segmental and suprasegmental aspects of accent.

Sam T. Constantine | Geography and Geology | Ted Ligibel | Adaptive Reuse: A History of Electricity, Wine, and Business
This presentation will examine the re-purposing of a landmark in the community of Farmington, Michigan, which is referred to as the Power House/Winery. It has stood in situ since 1890 and is a primary example of the many benefits of adaptively reusing historic structures. It first provided power to a light rail system that ran from Detroit into the suburbs and subsequently brought electricity to community. However, it is most widely known for its first re-purposing when it was transformed into Michigan's largest winery during the 1950s. Today it is currently being used to house office space, which is carved out of the old wine vats and other storage areas. Unfortunately, this structure is not designated with in the State or National Register of Historic Places, which would allow the current owners to access tax incentives and could help with the maintenance of the massive 194,000 sq ft structure.

Carly Francescut | English Language and Literature | Sheila Most | Admiration and Fear _ Differing Reactions to the Tricksters Hermes and Loki
The archetypical figure of the Trickster appears in various mythologies across the world. Two Trickster figures in particular, Hermes of Greek mythology and Loki of Norse mythology, both exemplify many of the traits of the Trickster archetype; most notably, each character operates within and is able to challenge the boundaries that order their mythological canons. Despite these similarities, however, the way that each Trickster figure is received greatly differs due to their unique cultural context: one Trickster is admired, while the second is hated and feared. The reason for these vastly different reactions to each Trickster is due to the Trickster's ambiguous nature and his ability to challenge the boundaries of social conventions and the natural order of the world, and the level of cultural comfort present when facing these archetypical conventions.

Carly Francescut | English Language and Literature | Amanda Allen | Adolescence and the Abject in Garth Nix's Sabriel
Roberta Seelinger Trites argues that one of the common features of adolescent literature is that the text focuses on the struggles of the teenaged protagonists to learn their place within the power structures that they are surrounded by, rather than on the central character's growth over the course of the novel. While Garth Nix's Sabriel does not entirely fit into the paradigm that Trites describes, much of the text focuses on Sabriel and Touchstone's realization of their own mortality through their battle against the Dead creature Kerrigor. Although Sabriel is primarily a work of high fantasy, Nix uses abjections and ideas of the abject to highlight Sabriel and Touchstone's growing awareness as Beings-towards-death while simultaneously complicating how the boundary between life and death functions within the novel.

Bethany S. Gourley | Psychology | Alissa Huth-Bocks | Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) Quality of Life (QoL) Assessment: Online or on Paper?
For AIS, a spinal deformity, QoL is an important aspect of treatment outcome. The SRS-22r, an AIS disease-specific QoL measure, is psychometrically sound in paper-and-pencil format. Our study examined its psychometrics when administered online. Via scoliosis websites, 311 AIS adults were recruited [mean age 40.3 + 13.5 years; 95.2% female; 89.7% white]. They completed the SRS-22r (assessing functioning, pain, self-image, mental health, and satisfaction with management), the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) (assessing physical disability, social restriction, and pain) and the SF-12 (assessing general physical and mental QoL). SRS-22r floor/ceiling effects were low (<6.4%) for all domains except satisfaction with management (<10%). Internal consistency was strong (__0.80) in all domains except pain (_=.38). Concurrent validity (_.73) was moderate-strong relative to similar SF-12 and ODI domains. Overall, online and paper administrations had comparable psychometrics, suggesting that administering SRS-22r online could aid in ongoing QoL assessment to track long-term AIS treatment outcomes.

Charlene Jamula, Maria Clary, Denise Pijor, and Margaret Walsh | Health Sciences | Gretchen Dahl Reeves | Adolescent Project on Self-Injury
This study is being conducted to examine sensory processing, body awareness, and self-concept among 13- to 17-year-old girls with major mood/affective disorders. Three groups are being compared, a control and two experimental groups. The control group is composed of typically developing adolescent girls. The two experimental groups include adolescent girls seeking outpatient psychiatric services for a major mood/affective disorder. The first experimental group consists of adolescents who self-mutilate, and the second consists of participants without a history of self-mutilating behavior. This research study is utilizing four assessments: the Sensory Profile, the Piers-Harris 2, the Body Investment Scale, and the Draw a Person: Screening Procedure for Emotional Disturbance. A physiological test is also performed to evaluate heart rate, temperature, and respiratory rate of participants after being presented with various sensory stimuli. The data collection for the physiological test is done using the I-330 Compact System.

Kathleen Hlavaty | Psychology | Carol Freedman-Doan | Affective Relationship and Mothers' Actual Knowledge of Adolescent Activities
Research has indicated that a mother's actual knowledge of her adolescent's activities has a greater effect on problem behavior when compared to the number of attempts to gain this knowledge and that a positive parent/adolescent affective relationship is key in a mother's ability to gain this knowledge. The current study attempts to understand how the affective relationship between 397 mothers and their adolescents affects a mother's actual knowledge. This study uses the Childhood and Beyond sample from the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research. For female adolescents, a positive affective relationship with their mothers across adolescence is related to an increase in mother's actual knowledge of their activities and a decrease in problem behavior.

Amanda Bell | Leadership and Counseling | Eboni Zamani-Gallaher | Affirming Acts: Exploring Rawl's Theory of Social Justice, Intersectionality, and Access for Persons with Disabilities
Individuals with disabilities are among a population of disenfranchised citizens who have limited access to educational opportunities. Policies such as Affirmative Action allowed colleges to take characteristics such as race, gender, and ability into consideration when admitting students, but this was a temporary solution, and even with the use of affirmative action as an admission criterion, the number of the white students in higher education was disproportionately higher than other minorities groups. The purpose of this presentation is to examine issues of educational access for minorities, specifically those who belong to numerous subjugated populations from the perspective of Rawl's Theory of Social Justice.

Michell Reynolds | Women's and Gender Studies | Linda Pritchard | African American Women and HIV/AIDS: Tracing an Epidemic
The analytical comparison of the incidence of HIV as a leading cause of death concerning race and gender was based on the question: 'What does the incidence of HIV as a leading cause of death look like over time for African American women in comparison to African American men, White men, and White women?' Using the Center for Disease Control and Prevention annual death charts from 1987 to 2005, the study graphed the raw numbers of HIV deaths and the ranking of HIV as a number one cause of death for these demographic groups ages 25-34 and 35-44. It appeared as though gender was the primary factor when looking at the raw numbers' graphs. However, the ranking of HIV deaths' graphs illustrated that race was the primary factor which revealed that African American women ages 25-34 have the highest incidence of HIV as the leading cause of death over time.

Samantha Kies | History and Philosophy | Joseph Engwenyu | African Matriarchy: The Women of Southeast Nigeria Prior to Colonization
This presentation looks at the matriarchal foundations of Southeast Nigeria prior to the onset of colonialism. Though labeled a patriarchal society by Europeans, Southeast Nigeria was a society where women flourished, a society full of social positions and customs that empowered women and gave them a voice. From religion, politics, and the economy to women's groups and women leaders, Southeast Nigeria cultivated a culture in which women were able to flourish and thrive and be an inherent part of their society. When we look at these customs, the damage that colonialism inflicted on these people and this society is more clearly shown and defined.

Xiaoxia Lu | Economics | Mehmet E. Yaya | An Empirical Study on Yuan and Balance of Trade in China
Chinese economy is a prime example of rapid growth among developing countries. With its dynamic population, China became one of the largest exporting countries in a couple of decades. The value of Chinese Yuan, which is artificially kept low by the Chinese government in the past, is considered to be the predominant factor for the recent Chinese trade surpluses. However, since July 21, 2005, China has started to loosen its exchange rate policy, and Chinese Yuan has been appreciating since then. This paper analyzes the relationship between the value of Chinese Yuan and China's balance of trade. The results suggest that there is a significant relationship between the value of Chinese Yuan and the balance of trade. Appreciation of Chinese Yuan is found to decrease the balance of trade surplus in China.

Deidre T. Hardemon | Health Promotion and Human Performance | Donna Kay Woodiel and Megan Rickard | An Epidemiological Review and Intervention Plan for Breast Cancer in African American Women
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and leads to many deaths per year. Data from the CDC from 1999 to 2007 show that while white women had the highest incidence rate of breast cancer, black women were more likely to die from it. Additional statistical data provided by The Breast Health Center reported that from 1999 to 2006, women aged 50-69 had the highest incidence rate of breast cancer, followed by women aged 42-49. From this data, an intervention entitled 'My Sister's Keeper' is proposed in an effort to decrease the mortality rate of breast cancer in African American women aged 40-69. The intervention utilizes Best Practice methods recommended by the Community Guide to Preventative Services. This presentation will review in detail the previous summarized epidemiological data as well as the proposed intervention of 'My Sister's Keeper.'

Scott C. Roark | Teacher Education | Toni Stokes Jones | An Evaluation of the Impact of Student Response Systems on Student Achievement
Student participation is a key component to a student's academic success by engaging the student in cognitive activities, peer interaction, and teacher mentoring. However, encouraging students to participate is a difficult task because of feelings of embarrassment or lack of motivation. Furthermore, teachers may find it difficult to incorporate participatory activities in lessons because of time constrains and ineffective measurements of student learning. Still, participation is an important pedagogy for student learning, and integrating multi-media technology can encourage students to be active learners. This evaluation study tests whether using a student response system fosters participation in an effort to increase learning and academic scores by allowing students to engage in activities anonymously and take part in peer instruction, as well as giving the teacher the opportunity to modify instruction when learning gaps are evident.

Ashley A. Wiedemann | Psychology | Karen Saules | An Examination of Post-Bariatric Patients who Develop Problematic Substance Use after Surgery: New Onset Users Compared to Controls
Our laboratory has documented that post-bariatric surgery patients are overrepresented in substance abuse treatment programs. Notably, about half of such patients first develop onset of heavy substance use after surgery. We refer to these patients as New Onset Users (NOU's); this report will examine how NOU's differ from non-bariatric substance abuse patients (Controls, N=42). Despite no differences in current age, NOU's first used alcohol (33.37?13.47 vs. 18.18?6.66, p <.001), drugs (32.25?13.24 vs. 19.03?9.77, p <.01), became concerned about their substance use (41.94?10.97 vs. 27.45?13.50, p <.001, and entered treatment (44.18?10.38 vs. 34.19?14.95, p <.05) at significantly later ages than controls. NOU's also experienced a shorter latency from age of concern to age of treatment (1.71?1.99 vs. 6.74?9.16, p <.05). Results yield unexpectedly high rates of new onset substance abuse among post-bariatric surgery patients. Bariatric patients who experience new onset post-surgical substance use may differ from 'typical' substance abuse patients and may have unique treatment needs.

Andy Burghardt | Health Promotion and Human Performance | Chris Herman | An Examination of the Mortality Rates of Professional Wrestlers
Over the past few years, much attention has been given to the occurrence of premature deaths in professional wrestling. The purpose of this study was to determine whether mortality rates for professional wrestlers were in fact inconsistent compared to the general population. A comprehensive review of age, BMI, cause of death (if applicable), and age at death (if applicable) of more than 650 male and female wrestlers who were active between 1984 and 2009 was completed. Using published mortality rates from the CDC, mortality rates of the general population were compared to the wrestlers by age, time period, and cause of death for both males and females.

Aditi M. Sengupta, Allison Boone, Saroya Jamal, Catherine Lenaway | Leadership and Counseling | Marlena Bravender | An Overview of the Higher Education System in India
With strong economic growth over the past two decades, dynamic development of its political system and the second largest population in the world, India has become increasingly important in the global marketplace. Much of the continued growth and potential competitiveness of India will hinge on the future of one significant element: education. A basic understanding of some important issues pertaining to higher education in India in comparison to the United States, in addition to recommendations for future tertiary education within the country, may lead to an understanding why India is becoming a fast emerging global hub for higher education and technical training for future generations.

Tanima Banerjee | Mathematics | Tanweer Shapla | Analysis of a Multivariate Set of Data Using a Logistic Regression Model
A logistic regression model is a widely used analytical tool that allows a person to determine the association between a dichotomous or polytomous response variable and a set of predictor variables. In this technique, the logit transformation of the outcomes is used. Model selection procedures will be used by identifying the small possible set of predictors of the model which will provide the 'good' prediction of the outcomes. For the logistic model, Akaike's information criteria, Schwarz Bayesian criterion, and stepwise model selection such as forward and backward with the decision rule based on the Wald statistic will be used. After comparing the effects of above selection models, we have developed a 'good' model of the response variable.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Charles75 Comfortable Accommodations
This is a comfortable hotel with splendid accommodations. Other than the fact that it was under reconstruction during our stay, it offered a fabulous experience. The breakfast buffet was truly outstanding. The hotel is slightly overpriced. The fact that the dinner buffet was closed due to reconstruction was somewhat of a disappointment. We would stay there again, especially if there was no reconstruction in progress.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by SFLawyer98 Inconvenient but Club Lounge Saved The Day!
I agree with previous reviewers about the inconvenience caused by the construction which is occurring both inside and outside the hotel premises. For instance, on my first day in the Grand Intercontinental, the 1st floor was closed off so all the guests had to find their way to the 2nd floor elevators to get to their rooms. On the second day, the 1st floor was reopened but the 2nd floor was closed which caused a bit of confusion for guests who were not aware of the changes. Even though construction caused some confusion and inconvenience for guests, the hotel staff went out of their way to provide excellent service to hotel guests.
I was especially impressed by the service I received on the 26th Floor Club Lounge. Two employees, in particular, provided what I thought was exceptional service both to myself and my visitors. The Club Lounge is a hidden gem where you can get away from the daily grind of mind numbing meetings while you are in Seoul. I was also impressed with the breakfast service in the Grand Café.
Overall, I am looking forward to the day when all the construction will be completed and the Grand Intercontinental can return to her old majestic self. This is one of the finest hotels in Seoul.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by QatarRoyalAmbassador Amazing Stay
There are cities where a mistake is normal and the word sorry is used to cover up without any compassionate to the person we hurt for whatever reason. In a luxury hotel like Grand Intercontinental a mistake is rare and when it happens the reaction to it is aggressive leaving you looking for small mistakes to request a compensation politely and rest assure, you will be more than satisfied. Duty Manager was able to make me happy. Reception know what you want and give it to you. I have to stop people from caring too much about your state of mind. They know you are far away from your family doing business in a strange setting but they do whatever in their power to make you happy. I enjoyed Korean staff like no other and even when I act strange and unfriendly they kept on smiling and at the end you leave happy, satisfied and you look forward to stay at Intercontinental hotel one more time.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by JPL1 Excellent hotel and staff.
On an annual business trip I have stayed at and held a business dinner at the Grand Intercontinental for the past four years. The accomodations and service have always been outstanding. The staff always goes above and beyond to see that all our needs are taken care of and wee are comfortable.
This year, even though hotel rennovations are in progress, it was no exception. All inconveniences were kept to an absolute minimum and the staff provided extra assistance to accomodate for any of the rennovation inconveniences. It was as comfortable and enjoyable stay as it always have been and look forward to returning next spring.

hotel was under reconstruction without notifying us.
facilities were limited.
27 October 2013
Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by KMPeterson Don't go until the construction is complete
Unfortunately, we stayed here twice in a two week period and it was not enjoyable. The first time we checked in late and were so tired that we just didn't take much notice of the room or anything. The second time we were prepared a bit more for the situation and were more awake. We had the same type of room both times.
The room was big but definitely could use freshening up. However, the bathrooms are just horrible. They are terribly out of date and feel claustrophobic because the ceiling is quite low. The features in the room, like the storage, technology and space were quite nice but the bathroom just is not good. I did like the touch of the iPhone that you could rent during your stay; very considerate. They really must get window coverings that actually cover the windows and block out the light though. We were up with the sun because of all the light streaming into the room.
The staff were all quite friendly and tried to help where they could. However, I feel like they are lacking in the knowledge necessary to really be that helpful. For instance, no one even mentioned the City Air Terminal to us, even though it was right around the corner and would have made our flights much easier on us. Everyone's English skills were very good though.
The worst thing is all of the construction going on currently. They have sections of the hotel closed off and if you are on one side of the hotel you will certainly be disturbed by the construction noise. Our room on our second stay was on the construction side and far too near it because the next morning we were awakened by very loud construction noise. That combined with the window coverings that don't even sort of block the sun, made for a very unfortunate stay. Those factors also forced us to move to a different hotel for the rest of our stay.
I think this will be a great hotel once all of the construction and refurbishment is completed, but at this point it's really not a very pleasant stay. The location is excellent and very near public transport that make it convenient to get around the city. The restaurant up stairs, where they have breakfast, was very good and had excellent service, as well.

My name is Brenton Abel, and I would like to comment on the welcome clarification that Richard Dawkin's book, "The God Delusion" has provided me. I have grown up in an LDS home and as a result have always had a funny feeling about the idea of God. I suppose that I liked idea for the most part, but it didn't seem to make sense. I thought, 'why are there so many different religions and what makes me so special to have been born in the "true" church?' Besides the majority of believers being mostly opposed to questioning, asking a member of any kind of Christian faith for answers to my doubts would likely turn up a response of, 'you must have faith.' I was already weary of this answer years before discovering Richard Dawkins. What I needed was an intelligent and unbiased source of information to help me piece together a picture of the world as it really is and not how anyone would like it to be. "The God Delusion" has been a major source for me in my quest to find the truth. I love science because science helps us know the truth. I sense that Richard Dawkins has a profound appreciation for science and I respect him for this. I am grateful for the inspiration that he and others like him provide to those that have the sense to appreciate it. The integrity and courage it must take to accept a truth regardless of the consequences or any personal predispositions is indicative of a genuine model citizen of the human race.
Thank you Richard Dawkins.
Sincerely, Brenton Abel

Even more fun with cal and GeekTool
simple. just make multiple windows in geektool, one for each desired month and enter 'cal 6 2004', 'cal 7 2004' and 'cal 8 2004' as commands for the respective months (windows).
Even more fun with cal and GeekTool
I had a feeling I wasn't being clear enough. Obviously I can go into GeekTool and change the month range whenever I want. It would be sort of silly to have "cal 7 2004; cal 8 2004; cal 9 2004" unless you only wanted those specific months year round. Conveniently, "cal" alone assumes the current month and year, but there is not an obvious way to output "cal n-1; cal n; cal n+1" where n is the current month which can presumably be obtained from the OS. I'd like to display last-, this-, and next-month without having to hard code "this" month. Is that more clear?
Even more fun with cal and GeekTool
For clarity, and in response to the earlier points I should add that:
Even more fun with cal and GeekTool
Okay, this is crude and awful, but it seems to work. Any better solutions welcome! Anyway, after seeing the post this morning I got all excited, but I wanted to see previous and next month as well. I ended up with a small shell script.
Even more fun with cal and GeekTool
Well, no one volunteered to improve upon my code, which is too bad. But I *did* make a couple of small improvements that are worth mentioning. This will display the previous, current and next month vertically, with the current date highlighted with parenthesis.
I'm pretty sure the original post from wallybear would have had a problem highlighting the first or last days of the week, so that's been fixed here. I did NOT include the change so the week starts on Monday, I like Sunday. Here is the code:
and here is the output:
Last word on the subject, I promise!
Even more fun with cal and GeekTool
No, my code has no problem marking first or last day of the week, as I added a space before and after each line, in order to make the replace string working everywhere.
Even more fun with cal and GeekTool
there's one serious issue with your script: When the month is december or january, it wil display the wrong year, since you only calculate it once.
If it's december, you have to call only the next month with "year + 1", and if it's january, you have to call only the previous month with "year - 1"
Here's the fix:

Conservatives mock Obama's AttackWatch.com
Anticipating a nasty fight in 2012, President Obama's reelection campaign on Tuesday launched a site, called AttackWatch.com , which is designed to push back against attacks on the president's record.
"We all remember the birth certificate smear, the GOP's barrage of lies about the Affordable Care Act, and the string of other phony attacks on President Obama that we've seen over the past few years," Jim Messina, Obama for America's campaign manager, wrote in an e-mail to the president's supporters. "There are a lot of folks on the other side who are chomping at the bit to distort the president's record. It's not a question of if the next big lie will come, just when--and what we're prepared to do about it."
Currently, the site prominently features "lies" and "flawed" attacks regarding the president's record on jobs from the two Republicans leading the GOP presidential field--Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. It also counters claims regarding Obama's policies on gun rights, relations with Israel, the bank bailouts, and other flashpoints that are popular talking points among conservatives.… Read more

My First post, constant lurker....... Hopefully this helps someone else and my reasons for wanting to do the above are clarified below. I have had multiple problems with the SAS2008 HBA and Freenas 8.0x (FreeBSD 8.2) running under ESX5i as a VM. Being a FreeBSD noob did not help! All credit for solving it to the Web and Google! EVENTUALLY!!!! The cards (LSI SAS2008: IBM M1015 / Dell H200 + SAS Expander) work fine under Freenas 8 on a standalone PC. I could not get them to work under Freenas 8.0.x under ESX5 (Passed Through), ALTHOUGH, ESX5i could work with the card without any problems whatsoever. I did not want to add a VMFS layer in-between ESX5 and Freenas ZFS. OpenIndiana can also access the card fine under ESX5 (passed though) but I have already gone down the Freenas road with about 30TB of storage (Norco 24 Drive with Chenbro CK23601 6GB/s 36 Port SAS Expander) So I figured that it's the Freebsd SAS2008 Driver. Please note that the Chenbro CK23601 card played no role in my problems experienced. My problems started before I even attached it to the SAS HBA. Running an AMD FX 8150 with 16GB of RAM and a 4 port Intel Network card (LAGG on a managed switch) just for Freenas seemed like a bit of a waste. My ESX server with all my other Virtual Machines was underutilized. As I was running ESX anyway for SABNzb/Couchpotato/Sickbeard/Win Domain/ Asterix/ Exchange and various other SIP servers with multiple snapshot capability and configs I wanted to utilize it better. Installing Freenas 8.0.x under ESX5i with the SAS2008 card passed through (VMDirectpath) produced the following errors during Freenas boot: run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 60 seconds for xpt_config mps_startup run_interrupt_driven_hooks: still waiting after 120 seconds for xpt_config mps_startup and it never gets past that stage. To solve that problem: Shut down the VM Edit the Freenas VM Settings. Detach the SAS Card. Boot Freenas. Edit the loader.conf Add the following to it: hw.pci.enable_msi="0" # Driver Interrupts problem SAS2008 hw.pci.enable_msix="0" # Driver Interrupts problem SAS2008 Shut down the VM Edit the Freenas VM Settings. Add the PassThrough SAS Card. (Your reserved memory should be the same value as the memory allocated to the VM (VMDirectpath requirement) otherwise it will not boot. Boot Freenas. Problem Solved! If you use Multiple NICS for lagg with MTU 9000 you may have to add the following (I have 4 NICS) to loader.conf (or loaders in 8.0.3 p1) kern.ipc.nmbclusters="262144" # Network Buffers Problem with MTU9000 and Multiple NICS Otherwise not all my NICS are able to be utilized due to buffer constraints. (And a lot of my Jumbo frames get thrown away) Under ESX5i, if you add more than 1 CPU, I encounter "Interrupt Storm on IRQx" (IRQ18) in my case. To solve that, boot into Freenas VM Bios: Disable Floppy drive, Com ports, Printer ports and anything else that you are not going to use. Save changes. Reboot Solved! STATS: ESX5i Freenas 8.0.3 p1 Virtual Machine: Freebsd 64 Bit: 16GB RAM: 2 vCPU of 1 socket each: E1000 VMWare adapter Passthru PCIe Card: Dell H200 Flashed to LSI 9211_8i (P12) Firmware (Chipset: SAS2008) For Testing I used some old drives: 4 x 750GB WD Green Drives in Striped UFS config: [root@freenas8-test] /mnt# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/raid0/testfile bs=8192k count=1000 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 8388608000 bytes transferred in 25.843491 secs (324592679 bytes/sec) [root@freenas8-test] /mnt# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/raid0/testfile bs=8192k count=10000 10000+0 records in 10000+0 records out 83886080000 bytes transferred in 271.635798 secs (308818207 bytes/sec) 3 x 750GB WD Green Drives in Raidz1 ZFS config: [root@freenas8-test] ~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test1-raidz1/testfile bs=8192k count=1000 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 8388608000 bytes transferred in 48.232895 secs (173918817 bytes/sec) [root@freenas8-test] ~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test1-raidz1/testfile bs=8192k count=10000 10000+0 records in 10000+0 records out 83886080000 bytes transferred in 536.209856 secs (156442630 bytes/sec) 4 x 750GB WD Green Drives in Raidz1 ZFS config: [root@freenas8-test] /mnt/test1-raidz1# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test1-raidz1/testfile bs=8192k count=1000 1000+0 records in 1000+0 records out 8388608000 bytes transferred in 29.539966 secs (283974871 bytes/sec) [root@freenas8-test] /mnt/test1-raidz1# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test1-raidz1/testfile bs=8192k count=10000 10000+0 records in 10000+0 records out 83886080000 bytes transferred in 378.921389 secs (221381222 bytes/sec) Samba Transfer rate: 60MB/s Write and 75MB/s Read with AIO on: Read size: 8192 / Write size: 8192
Great guide, thank you! Now how do you enable/install Vmware Tools so that you can gracefully shutdown the system?
Thank you! I had the same problem with SuperMicro X9SCM-F and LSI 9211-8i controller. Your solution solved this! A tip could be that it is possible to add the values as "tunables" in the FreeNAS WebGUI: Variable: hw.pci.enable_msi Value: 0 Variable: hw.pci.enable_msix Value: 0
hello! thank you for those tips! i am moving my freenas (was pentium-D with 4gb ddr2(max)) to a new machine, amd fx-8320(8 core) 32gb ddr3, using 2x ibmm1015 (flashed it without boot rom) having 4x2tb/nfs/cifs/shares -raidz- , 3x1tb/htpc scsi-raidz- 4x320gb/iscsi/nfs/vm storage data-raidz- and 2xssd c300 64gb/vm's os -raid0- everything was working after your nice tip, but now im getting error, (freenas lost device - 0 outstanding 1 refs) on da10 (2tb storage) i need to fully reboot the esxi to get freenas back, but as soon as disk i/o append it commes back. when i get home i will try and remove 4x2tb to see if freenas can stay alive.... the worst thing is that when a disk disconnect for those unknown reason freenas freeze, and now it seem's as frozen my full esxi setup (pfsense not responding , )... need t o push the button when i get back home. will post development.
I have a FreeNAS 8.3 installed on a dedicated server with four gbit nics in a lagg. On the other side there are two esxi servers with a NFS-datastore on the freenas box. Sometimes my esxi servers can´t find the nfs volume on the freenas server. Could this be a solution for my problem? Is it still necessary on 8.3?
I tried your solution and it actually not the best way to do it. If you set the settings you suggest you will generally have issues with more than 1 cpu or core and samba will use up a lot of the cpu for a low transfer rate. Instead just set hw.pci.enable_msix="0" # Driver Interrupts problem SAS2008 and leave hw.pci.enable_msi set to the default of 1. This will allow the cards to use the much faster interrupt system of pcie 2.0 which will greatly improve performance but still disable the interupt system from pcie 3.0 which is causing the issue. As a bonus you will also be able to add more cpus and cores to the vm, use 10gb ethernet controllers and get samba speeds of over 150MB/s read and 300MB/s write on a small array with SSD and samba will only use < 5% cpu as long as you use VMXNET3 driver from vmware. I followed this guide to do that. http://forums.freenas.org/showthread.php?9316-VMXNET3-support I am sure i can get more out of the system if i tuned it but i am happy with those speeds for now.
Thank you seer_tenedos!!!! I have been running freenas inside esxi for a wile now with 2 x SAS2008 hba´s and have been restricted to 1 cpu 1 core because of the irq storm problem. After removing the hw.pci.enable_msi=0 tunable everything works great with more than 1 cpu. Using the vmxnet3 nic sounds very interesting, i will give that a try to. Thanks again for sharing that info!!

Celebrity Journalist
Journalist, novelist. Born October 29, 1925 in Hartford, Connecticut. The line between the personal and professional life of Dominick Dunne has always been blurred. Erudite and wealthy himself, the writer has chronicled the misfortunes and criminal acts of his peers within privileged America. His fiction has dissected the rich, the famous, and the corrupt while his nonfiction has dealt with the trials of such figures as Claus Von Bulow, William Kennedy Smith, and the Menendez brothers. Dunne even reported on the trial of John Sweeney, the man who murdered Dunne's daughter, Dominique. But few assignments have brought him so much personal disgust, and so much national attention, as the O.J. Simpson trial.
Reporting for Vanity Fair, Dunne sat in the now legendary courtroom day in and day out, observing and reporting on what was dubbed "The Trial of the Century." Dunne himself described it to Mary Murphy in TV Guide as "the biggest news story that's ever been" and a "morality tale for America." Considered a prized correspondent (Simpson trial courtroom seats were rare and coveted) Dunne was himself in front of TV cameras almost daily—on CNN, CNBC, The CBS Evening News, Geraldo, Day and Date, and many other shows. However, Dunne was credited with bringing more than a mere courtside regurgitation of the day's events to the American public—he brought years of hard-won wisdom as well as a celebrity insider's perspective which few reporters possessed.
Early Outsider
On the surface, Dunne's early life seemed charmed. Born into a very well-to-do Hartford, Connecticut family, Dunne enjoyed all the trappings of a wealthy youth. However, his family was never quite accepted by its wealthy neighbors for two reasons. First, the Dunnes were considered nouveau riche, their wealth inherited from the toil of Dominick's grandfather. Though he eventually became a tycoon, Dunne's grandfather was a butcher. Although Dunne felt the family could never "rise above" the genesis of their wealth, he remains proud of his grandfather to this day. In Harper's Bazaar, he told interviewer Gerald Clarke: "He was simply a remarkable man, my grandfather. He was knighted by the Pope for his philanthropic work, but he never forgot he had been born poor. Never!"
Within these words of praise lies the other reason the Dunnes' acceptance among their peers remained elusive. While most of their wealthy neighbors were Protestants, the Dunnes were Catholic and were looked down upon by their acquaintances. This derision of their faith, however embarrassing, did not stop the Dunnes from remaining committed to their religion.

GSA Continues to Make Progress Advancing Open Government Efforts
General Services Administration
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20, 2011 – On his first day in office, President Obama ushered in a new era of openness in government when he challenged federal agencies to strengthen America's democracy, boost government efficiency, and save taxpayer dollars by improving transparency and increasing public participation.
GSA met this challenge head on by successfully spearheading several open government initiatives and making meaningful headway towards fulfilling the aspirations set forth in the president's Open Government Directive. The agency has helped launch several flagship initiatives that aim to transform how the government and the American people interact.
For instance, the Terms of Service Agreements negotiated by GSA and the Open Government Public Engagement Tool enable federal agencies to be more open and forthcoming with the public. And GSA's Challenges and Prizes Platform allows agencies to leverage good ideas from the public and create useful products that are backed by incentives to encourage involvement.
Two other initiatives are the Business Breakthrough program and the ePubs U.S. Government Bookstore. Business Breakthrough is a program to help businesses better understanding the ins and outs of the federal marketplace and learn more about ways they can use GSA's contracting vehicles to take advantage of growth opportunities. The ePubs bookstore is a partnership with the Government Printing Office that makes popular government publications available for free via electronic download.
GSA's Public Engagement Platform focuses on government agencies' ability to use new media tools that are secure, tested, and accessible to persons with disabilities.
GSA is at the vanguard of driving change in technology and enhancing the ways in which citizens and the government use that technology to connect. Social media is one such vehicle to help meet this end.
There are more than 40 social media apps with negotiated terms of service agreements available for federal agencies. These agreements have paved the way for broader experimentation and adoption of free social media tools that expand government's ability to deliver information to citizens at little or no cost to taxpayers.
One example of this is Apps.gov. Launched in September 2009, Apps.gov is an online storefront designed to encourage and enable the federal government to adopt cloud computing and social media solutions. GSA has also unveiled a social media directory to showcase the agency's activities on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, external blogs, and RSS feeds.
Data.gov is another transparency outlet cultivated by GSA. A governmentwide GSA-led transparency success, Data.gov was launched in May 2009 to cover topics ranging from healthcare to commerce to education. The website is democratizing government data with 236 citizen-developed applications based on data posted on Data.gov.
The U.S. is now partnering with India to share the Data.gov platform to enable open government efforts in other countries. Through the U.S.-India Open Government Dialogue, the two countries have partnered to release "Data.gov-in-a-Box," an open source version of the United States' "Data.gov" data portal and India's "India.gov.in" document portal. It will be available for implementation by countries globally, encouraging governments around the world to stand up open data sites that promote transparency, improve citizen engagement, and engage application developers in continuously improving these efforts.
In addition, GSA launched a new search engine on USA.gov and made it available to other federal agencies and commercial websites at no cost. Search.USA.gov provides the functionality of commercial search engines with improved speed and relevance in its search results. GSA also redesigned Reginfo.gov to improve its ability to track the federal rulemaking process. USAspending.gov is another website that continues to assist GSA in fulfilling its strategic goals of transparency, innovation, customer intimacy, and operational excellence.
GSA's latest enhancement to Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) data is the creation of a user-friendly website, www.efaca.gov. eFACA is built to give the public quick and easy access to the most requested information, such as agency-specific data on costs and contracts.
On the acquisitions side, GSA's Federal Acquisition Service piloted two acquisitions using ideas generated through the Better Buy Project. The project is an online public dialogue that solicits advice on ways to use collaborative technology to improve federal government acquisition.
In an effort to increase collaboration and openness in GSA's sustainability program, the agency's Green Proving Ground Program is creating a registry of technologies and practices that optimize energy performance and reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with building operations.
As the president unveils his new National Open Government Action Plan today – further advancing transparency, collaboration, and participation – GSA will continue to pursue openness as an operational standard. The agency is tracking the implementation of its Open Government Plan and flagship initiatives via the Open Government Dashboard published on the agency's Open Government web page.
GSA has moved from embracing open government principles to forging an action plan of its own that will yield major benefits, including greater accountability, increased collaboration, and a stronger bond between citizens and their government.

The Bureau recalled that the Committee, at its last session, noted that the authorities responsible for the management of this site are of the view that the proposed construction of a hydroelectric dam on the Tara River and the pollution of the River by an asphalt dam situated upstream had minimal impacts on the conservation of Durmitor National Park. The Bureau acknowledged the fact that the Montenegro authorities had invited a UNESCO/IUCN mission to the site and that this mission should be undertaken as early as possible in order to ensure the conservation of this World Heritage site.
In view of Resolution 757 of the UN Security Council, the UNESCO World Heritage Centre is still unable to proceed with the organization of the UNESCO/IUCN mission to Durmitor National Park.

No Death Star
One of your letter writers has been watching too many kids' "Star Wars" movies. He thinks we should build a Death Star and mentions how we could knock out al-Qaida and the Taliban. We could do all that now by sending a thousand planes over as we did to Berlin. After those planes there was nothing left. We would certainly get the same results and it would be much cheaper.
I blame Reagan
Another Sound Off writer thinks our troubled economy is caused by President Obama in just four years. This problem was building way back before Obama, Bush or Clinton. It may have started back when Reagan was in and laid off the thousands of airport workers. Of course, the fact we have been sending soldiers overseas for the last 70 years, from Korea to Iraq, might have been a strain on the budget, don't you think?
NFL goes PC
What is wrong with this country? I see that an NFL player recently stated that he would personally have a problem playing with gay players. So what? He has a right to his opinion. We don't have to agree with him. He is now in the middle of a media firestorm due to his comments. It is ridiculous how politically correct everybody has to be nowadays. If not, you have to pay a heavy price.
Hector's rant
Hector Longo's recent rant about trading Tom Brady is a joke. All he does in the story is rant about how bad Brady is and ask what he has done for us lately. Then he switches to say teams will give up their entire draft for him. Tell me, Hector, if Brady is that bad and, as you state, benefits from being in that crappy division, then who is going to want to trade their entire draft for him? You just don't get it .
Be there
Those sick of the North Andover school administration firing coaches need to attend the School Committee meeting Monday night, 6 p.m. North Andover High library.
DE Class of '07
Raff taught all of us some amazing lessons that helped us transition to men. He was hard on us when he needed to be but for all the right reasons. The North Andover athletic program as a whole is less respectable after the way he was pushed out.
Lost asset
North Andover lost a great asset when the high school administration decided to remove Coach Rafferty from the football position. Rafferty had a track record of nipping problems in the bud. Was this his demise? I wish someone would come forward from the high school and let the community know exactly why he wasn't allowed back. The kids clearly want him back.
Why, why, why?
Can't believe Coach Rafferty was fired. We have firsthand experience with him as a coach. He teaches his players to respect each other and to work hard. He is an outstanding coach who cares about his players and truly loves the game of football. This will be a devastating blow to the football team and to the high school. And why do the signs that support Coach Rafferty get taken down every morning before the students get to school? And why are the decisions over who gets to be a coach at the high school really up to only two people?

Silver Dollar Sets New World Record
A rare 1794 U.S. silver dollar has set a record price. The Neil/Carter/Contursi specimen 1794 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar sold for $7.85 million. What makes this particular coin so rare is that it is the finest known 1794 dollar and several experts believe this could be the first silver dollar ever struck by the United States Mint.
The coin was sold by Steven L. Contursi, President of Rare Coin Wholesalers of Irvine, California, to the nonprofit Cardinal Collection Educational Foundation in Sunnyvale, California. Contursi has had the coin since 2003, acquiring it for a price he's only ever defined as "millions of dollars." He has displayed the coin in cities around the country and had a custom wooden exhibit case constructed so it could be seen more easily. When it wasn't on tour it was a featured exhibit at the American Numismatic Association's Edward C. Rochette Money Museum in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

I've been uploading a texture (glTexSubImage2D) and getting skewed results for upload-buffer sizes that are not a multiple of 4 (I think). Setting GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT to 1 fixes that, but is it a good idea? Likely to get me bad performance on certain hw?

Using a buffer size that isn't a multiple of 4 is liable to get you bad performance on quite a lot of hardware. I have one OpenGL application where the performance *doubles* when I add a dummy alpha-channel to pad my textures to 4 bytes/component...

Day 1
There is time today to go into Windhoek and explore the city at your own pace, relax at our lodge and get familiar with our bikes.
Day 2
Leaving Windhoek behind we start with a short transfer towards the Khomas Hochland and the top of the Kupferberg Pass. Getting on our bikes we get our first taste of the pleasure of cycling through Namibia's amazing landscape as we descend along winding roads past private farm and some local wildlife. Transferring up Gemsberg Pass and past the 3rd highest mountain in Namibia, from where we have views stretching 100kms, we get back on the bikes. As we cycle down we cross dry river beds and should, hopefully see troops of baboons as well as, hopefully, Hartman's Mountain zebras. Our ride ends at our camp at the Rooisand Oasis where we can enjoy a refreshing dip (60km on gravel roads, 90kms transferring).
Day 3
Leaving the camp on our bikes we continue along gravel roads up and down rolling hills. We will either cycle all the way to the Guab Pass before transferring the rest of the way to Solitaire or will cycle to part of the way, transfer up the pass and cycle some more afterwards. We aim to get to Solitaire for lunch and will, hopefully, have the opportunity to try the local apple crumble which has been called the best in the whole southern hemisphere. After lunch we transfer to Sesriem. Depending on the weather (which can often turn by the afternoon) we have the option of cycling the last 20 kms. to our camp. (70kms gravel roads, 90-100kms transferring).
Day 4
Getting up before dawn we transfer a short distance before taking to our bikes for a stunning ride along a sealed road which cuts through the tallest sand dunes in the world just as the rising sun rays hit the red-ochre sand. Arriving at Dune 45 we can climb to the top for some incredible views of the dry river valley and the towering dunes whilst the crew prepare breakfast.
We later transfer to the car park from where we will take a two-hour hike to Hiddenvlei or, for those who want, an optional 4WD to Deadvlei. Returning to Sesriem for lunch we have the opportunity to explore the small canyon by foot before transferring most of the way back towards Solitaire. As we get about 20kms out we get back on the bikes to cycle past granite boulders and along dirt tracks. (50kms sealed roads, 20kms gravel roads, 90kms transfer).
Day 5
After a short transfer we get behind the handle bar and cycle along winding roads back through Gaub Pass and Kuiseb Pass. With luck we should see ostrich, springbok and gemsbok on the side of the road. We later transfer to Walvis Bay Lagoon where we can see flamingos. We will have lunch here, enjoying the Atlantic breeze before a short transfer out of town. This afternoon we cycle along the coast with the ocean on the left and the sand dunes on the right as we head towards Swakopmund. (20kms sealed roads, 50kms. gravel roads, 210kms transfer).
Day 6
Today is a free day to enjoy the many activities available in Swakopmund. These include sandboarding, quadbiking, dolphin watching, taking a panoramic flight over the Namib Naukluft or just taking the bikes and going for a ride. Those feeling like relaxing a little, the Germanic town is famous for its cake and coffee shops.
Day 7
We head back inland and, after a transfer out of town, start cycling along gravel roads towards the pyramidal granite hills of Spitzkoppe. After lunch we transfer towards the country's highest mountain, Brandberg in Damaraland. This area is home to the rare Desert elephants and, with some luck, we may come across meerkats. We finish the day with a ride downhill towards our camp by the Ugab River. (70-80kms gravel roads, 140kms transfer)
Day 8
After another short transfer we cycle towards Himba and Herrero villages. After about 20kms we transfer out of the Ugab River region before getting back on our bikes the remaining distance to the Aba Huab area. This afternoon we visit the rock engravings at Twyfelfontein, some dating back 6,000 years. (70kms gravel roads, 200kms transfer).
Day 9 - 10
Staying off the bikes for a couple days we head to one of southern Africa's best national parks, Etosha where we will go on safari. When in camp we have the opportunity to sit by the watering hole which is flood-lit at night and enjoy the 'living theatre' which unfolds as animals come down to the water to drink.
Day 11
Heading out of the park we cycle from Tsumeb to Otavi along an undulating sealed road. We transfer to Otjiwarongwe and the Cheetah Conservation Fund's centre where we learn about cheetah biology and ecology and the many threats faced by the fastest land animal in the world. We leave the centre enjoy another bike ride for about 40kms along gravel roads and through farmland. (50kms sealed roads, 40 kms gravel roads, 180kms transfer).
Day 12
This morning we cycle 50kms along flat sealed roads before continuing along 20kms of dirt roads to the Waterberg National Park with its red sandstone table mountain. This afternoon we have the opportunity to go for a walk on the Waterberg Plateau in search of the local wildlife. (50 kms sealed, 20kms gravel)
Day 13
After a relaxing start, and the option of a morning bike ride, we transfer back to Windhoek where the tour ends.

Is Apple's TV really coming in 2013...or not at all? Video
Is Apple's TV really coming in 2013...or not at all? Video Transcript
-Hey Jim, do you have my microphone. I-- I can't find it. Well-- -Ryan, you really think I look like Jim? -No. No. Charlie-- No, I-- -You idiot. -I was just-- It's a mistake. What's happening? Brian Tong here and welcome to the Apple Byte for all the good and bad inside the world of Apple. And with Thanksgiving Holiday happening in the U.S., I just wanted to tell you that I'm thankful for all of you, the Apple Byters that-- that mean so much. Alright, let's get to the show and-- If it happens, we've been telling you 2013 will be the year for the Apple TV, but when can we expect it? Well, my favorite analyst who loves to make up things, Gene Munster, is back at it; now saying the Apple TV is coming out in November 2013. This is the same guy that was saying it would come out in December 2012 for sure. See, I wish I could get paid to make up fake news too. Now, the Apple TV will only be a unique offering if they're able to lock down the content deals for their goal of an ala-carte TV subscription service over the internet. That's what Apple needs to do to have their next big product. Now, if it doesn't happen, you're just looking at an Apple-designed TV with a mediocre Siri feature and the functionality of a current Apple TV at Apple's pricing. Is that what you guys really want? Well, we know Apple is taking with content and cable companies, but they want piles of money to make it happen. And it's not happening right now. So, my best guess is that we'll see an Apple TV in 2013 if they can lock down more than just a few, but not all content deals to make it compelling. We know ABC Disney is obviously in, but it really has to be more than that. And if you guys are holding off right now on buying a TV, hoping for something from Apple, don't. Alright. So, you guys can get an Apple TV, TV, but if you really love your kids, your nieces, or nephews, I know some of you do, you might want to pay attention to this Nielsen study where iOS devices were 4 of the top 5 gadgets wanted by kids 6 to 12 years old with the full-sized iPad ranked #1. Kids 13 and up picked the iPad as their top gift followed by a computer and the tablet other than an iPad was third. Now, if they surveyed what I want for Christmas, they would know it's a Dippin' Dots Frozen Dot Maker. -Cool creation. Lots of fun. Lots of taste sensation. -You know you want one. Now, Black Friday is going to be huge and Apple will have their own deals this year. They teased them once again this week, but don't look for anything major. And discounts off Apple product is somewhere around 10 to 15 percent. Last year saw discounts from 40 to 60 dollars off iPads and discounts around $100 off laptops, so look for more of the same. Also, if you're still wondering where are the new iMacs, multiple reports say there are no delays and the 21.5-inch iMacs are shipping to Apple distribution hubs right now. They'll be available online and in Apple retail stores before November ends with the 27-inch still on track for December and hopefully it's not the end of December. It's expected the new iMacs will also be in short supply initially and Tim Cook warned analysts about it in Apple's last earnings call. Now, very early builds of OS 10.9 have been detected on multiple websites. And according to 9to5Mac, these early builds currently integrate Apple Siri. Mountain lion currently supports the dictation feature, but nothing resembling Siri. They also say Apple maps will be integrated into OS 10.9 and this map kit framework would potentially allow developers to embed map functionality into their apps for the Mac like they do on iOS apps. And since we're talking about maps on iOS, we told you about Nokia's new offering last week for their free hear maps. It's available now to download and you could check it out, but its current rating is at a lowly 2.5 stars and it requires you to create an account to add favorite destinations. Now, Facebook is also slowly rolling out their photo sync feature for iOS users that android users have enjoyed and now allows you to upload automatically all the pictures that you've taken on your iPhone to a private photo album on Facebook with 2 gigs of complimentary storage. And yes, those pictures are private by default. It's not officially available to everyone just yet, but keep your eyes open. Alright guys, let's get to the winners for our Incase iPad Mini case giveaway. Congrats go out to Taytay Davis, sweet name; Charles Altman whose son is a fan and Charles says he raps to iPhone 5 on it; Ellen Boulanger gets one because I said so; and Amy Maghera who writes in with so, what is up with this new iPad Mini? I mean, come on, I'm sure that you agree, but size does matter. Oh well, still gotta cover it. Amy, I'm really disappointed in you. My mom watches this show and you still get a case. And for those of you who didn't win, Incase is still hooking all of you up, the Apple Byters, with a 25% off discount code off everything at goincase.com. Just use the code, Apple Byte 25, and it's good through December 1st. We also got this e-mail from Peter [unk]. He writes in with people up here in Minnesota say we look alike. I think it's just because we're Asian. My coworkers kept changing my profile picture to a picture of you for the longest time. Perhaps this is what you would look like without facial hair and bleached hair. Peter, we look nothing alike. Actually, he looks a lot better like a lot. Jamie, really? Okay, but you know Peter, to prove this, I did a little something and this is what you would look like with facial hair and bleached spiked hair. Okay. I stand corrected. Maybe we actually do look alike. Alright guys, that's gonna do it for this week's show. I'm Brian Tong. E-mail us at the firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll have a killer promo next week for you. Thanks for watching and start enjoying the holidays with your family, friends, loved ones. We'll catch you guys next time for another byte of the apple. Hey, Jamie, Jamie, where you going? What-- -What? -Jamie-- -What? -What the-- -What are you doing here? -Oh, I thought-- -You thought I was who? Idiot! -What?! Well, you guys look like you're dressed-- -Look nothing alike. -Okay.

• Transition from high school to university is seamless
• Gain skills necessary for success at the college level
• Higher likelihood of earning a high school diploma and college degree
• Students can validate their ability to complete college-level work
• Students have a head start on meeting core requirements
• Tuition is only $100 per credit hour
College credit courses for academies and high schools are:
• Interactive online (computer and internet access is required)
• Instructor-led through the School of Distance Education
• Paced with biweekly assignment deadlines and weekly quizzes
Courses are capped to 20 students per section to maximize interactivity. Additional sections will be added as needed where possible.
