WASHINGTON - Montgomery County School Superintendent Joshua Starr says parents have high expectations and with his $2.2 billion budget, he's making this clear: He intends to deliver.
"Education is a signature element in the Montgomery County 'brand,'" he said as he sat down to brief reporters and unveil his 2014 budget.
Even before the spending plan for the next fiscal year was formally released, the Montgomery County Council president, Nancy Navarro, issued a release pointing out that Starr's spending request exceeds a state-mandated level by $10 million.
The council has signaled that boosting spending could force the county to keep pace with a state funding formula, even as the county becomes liable for an increased budget burden: This year the county will have to pay a share of teacher pensions.
Teachers are state employees and, in the past, the state paid the entire pension bill. That changed with legislation last year that pushes more of the pension burden onto the counties.
Starr says his budget request is less than 0.5 percent above the state-required "maintenance of effort" formula, which requires local governments to provide public schools with a consistent level of funding for each student as a condition for state aid. Starr added that in the past, the council supported the school system's requests.
This year, Starr says, "If (the council members) are unable to find ways to support this most crucial element of Montgomery County, then we will have to find other ways to do what's needed for our kids and our families."
Starr's $2.2 billion budget doesn't call for pay raises for teachers.
Last year, for the first time in three years, teachers got a pay raise. On average, teachers got raises of 3.4 percent. Starr says this year, he's not requesting any added compensation.
The budget does add some staff:
- Five music teachers at the elementary level
- 30 "focus" teachers in middle schools
- Restoring staff development teachers
- Adding some administrative staff for three elementary schools where the population's exceeded 950 students

How Many Major League Players Come from Illinois?
Unlike college football, which has several major rule differences from the NFL, college baseball and professional baseball are essentially the same game. Every rule that you known and love from Major League Baseball can be applied to college baseball. While the basic games are exactly the same, there is one major difference between college baseball and the MLB. The only major difference between the two games is that aluminum bats are used in college baseball instead of the wooden bats used in Major League Baseball. The baseball travels farther and faster off of the aluminum bat, http://www.saveontvdirect.com, which makes for a more exciting game in college baseball. It also makes the defensive players have to react as if they were in the pros because most players in college are not strong enough to hit the ball with a lot of power using the wooden bat. While the aluminum bats make the game more exciting, they are used over wooden bats because of costs and safety. Wooden bats break very easily, which puts all of the players in danger of getting hit by the broken bat. It also is much cheaper for the school to only pay for a few aluminum bats instead of hundreds of wooden bats.

$10 for $25 Toward KIND Snack Bars and Healthy Grains
All-natural, gluten-free, and filled with nuts, fruit, honey, and spices, KIND bars come in cases and gift sets ranging from 16 to 96 bars. A mix of Dark Chocolate Cherry Cashew + Antioxidants, Almond & Coconut, and Cranberry Almond + Antioxidants bars pack a KIND Advantage Starter Kit ($53.50), and a KIND Cube gift box's 16 bars ($34.95) snuggle up to a greeting card. Low in sugar and high in protein and ampersands, mixed cases of 72 Nuts & Spices or Healthy Snacks bars (each $107.50) contain a sampling of flavor combinations such as almond, apricot, and coconut.
Though KIND fruit-and-nut bars reside in the snack aisle rather than behind a pharmacy counter, they've still found their way into medical research. As researcher Dr. David Katz reported to ABC News, a 2010 study found that adding two KIND bars per day to participants' diets helped them maintain—and in some cases even lose—body weight. The results confirmed a theory of snacking that KIND's founders had suspected all along—that the secret to healthy eating lies in embracing natural, whole ingredients rather than cutting foods out.
After years of helming the socially minded PeaceWorks Inc., entrepreneur Daniel Lubetzky and his team launched KIND in 2003. Based on a philosophy of unification, not compromise, KIND's products strive for a perfect merging of taste, convenience, and flavor. Its original fruit-and-nut bars, available in varieties such as Almond & Coconut and Peanut Butter & Strawberry, share digital shelf space with KIND Plus bars, which are packed with extra nutrition, and KIND Nuts & Spices, a low-sugar option that combines nuts with flavorful spices. KIND Healthy Grains come in clusters perfect for popping in one's mouth or throwing at a sleeping cubicle mate. KIND maintains its social mission with its KIND Movement, an initiative aimed at making the world a little kinder. Currently spreading kindness across the country one act at a time, KIND's products were recently lauded by the Today Show.

When in Rome
WTOP Film Critic Jason Fraley follows Woody Allen "To Rome With Love."
Jason Fraley, WTOP film critic
WASHINGTON - Say what you will about Woody Allen's personal life (his son, Ronan Farrow, recently took a Father's Day jab), but as a filmmaker, he is unbelievably prolific.
At age 76, the Woodman has written and directed 42 films - some duds, some masterpieces - but each with the same auteur staples, from black-and-white opening credits, to forbidden love swaps eloquently penned in a comedy of manners. Who but Allen could win Best Original Screenplay in three different decades? In 2011 there was no better screenwriter, just like 1986 and 1977.
The 21st century has quickly become Allen's "postcard period," the fanny-pack musings of a workaholic filmmaker in the twilight of his life. "To Rome with Love" continues his Euro Tour after stops in London for "You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger" (2010), Barcelona for "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" (2008), and Paris for "Midnight in Paris" (2011), a tough act to follow.
If "Midnight in Paris" was a warning against nostalgia, "To Rome with Love" is a commentary on fame, using four interwoven plots to expose the artificial line between the "ordinary" and the "celebrity."
1) Woody Allen and Judy Davis fly to Rome to meet their daughter's fiance, whose father wows Allen by singing opera in the shower. As a former opera director, Allen gets him an audition, but the father clams up in the spotlight. This sparks Allen's "genius" idea of bringing a portable shower on stage, lathering in the symbolism that this man is only capable of fame in his most private, naked state.
2) Jesse Eisenberg is an architect seduced by his girlfriend's sex-crazed best friend (Ellen Page), who flies in from Hollywood. Alec Baldwin sees Eisenberg as a younger version of himself and wants to warn him against Page's phony cultural pretenses. So, like the imaginary friend Bogart in "Play it Again, Sam" (1972), Baldwin pops up during intimate moments to provide advice.
3) Alessandro Tiberian and Alessandra Mastronardi are a newlywed couple who botch plans to "meet the parents" with a case of mistaken identity. The tame husband is accidentally sent a Spanish hooker, played by Penelope Cruz, while the virginal wife is seduced by her favorite Italian movie star. "I've always wondered what it would be like to kiss a movie star," she says, as the actor reveals himself to be an average, everyday horn-dog.
4) Finally, Roberto Benigni is a regular joe who's plucked from obscurity to become an overnight celebrity. Suddenly, paparazzi are following him everywhere, asking him mundane questions like how he butters his toast. It's a classic case of celebrities who are "famous for being famous." At first, Benigni demands his privacy, but when his 15 minutes are over, he's left craving the spotlight.
Such thematic musings are what make Allen's career great, providing a layer of substance beneath the sexy affairs and paranoid punchlines. The fact that this commentary unfolds with such reckless comedic abandon is a bonus, capturing the charming silliness of Bunuel's "Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" where we feel like anything can happen at any moment.
Whether or not you like the movie will depend on whether you're already a fan of Allen's work. Indeed there are folks who prefer him staying behind the camera, as was the case in gems like "The Purple Rose of Cairo," "Match Point" and "Midnight in Paris." "Rome" is more apt to please the diehards, as Allen once again casts himself as a neurotic whiner. Either you're a fan of that schtick, or you're not. Luckily I am, if only because I appreciate how effectively he has turned it into an archetype. Allen's own self-caricature has become as iconic as John Wayne's cowboy or Chaplin's Tramp.
Here, the writing is clearly not his best effort. Many of the jokes don't land, the "narrator" bookends don't fit, and Baldwin's dialogue appears half-hearted for the first third of the movie. The casting of so many non-Italians is also questionable, but just like Gene Kelly was "An American in Paris," Allen has organized a collection of "Americans in Rome," because that's the perspective he knows.
I've enjoyed his romp across Europe, perhaps because I share his outside-looking- in approach. His foreign travels are presented through the prism of pop culture references, so when Allen visits Roman landmarks -- the Coliseum, the Trevi Fountain -- I can't help but think of Rossellini's "Rome Open City," Wyler's "Roman Holiday" or Fellini's "La Dolce Vita."
Allen's wide-eyed adoration of the Eternal City drips from every frame, thanks to gorgeous cinematography from "Midnight in Paris" collaborator Darius Khondji and a catchy soundtrack with "Amada Mia, Amore Mio." Sure it's a shameless attempt to recreate the magic of Gershwin and the skyline of Manhattan, but he's tackled New York City so much we can't blame him for branching out.
At this point, he seems to be cranking out movies like a Hall of Fame ballplayer padding his stats. What truth in a scene where Allen says he's getting old, and Davis says he was a man ahead of his time. The eternally paranoid Allen wants to leave as many films behind as possible so that they'll live on after he's gone. It's his unique, artistic way of conquering his fear of death, and his career is a body of work to be cherished. So if you want to apply the "Crimes and Misdemeanors" scale of greatness, "To Rome with Love" is at least a charming misdemeanor.

you rule, this is exactly what i needed
This emblem guide is uselees i think. We have to pick item to replace our worst one. So it depends what i need most.
All guides are based on set assumptions. Veneretio's guide is explaining which items are best assuming a certain baseline of gear. If you walk into this gear guide and have blues everywhere but a GREEN chest, of course your top gear upgrade would then be t7 chest, but then I'd ask you why haven't you obtained a better chest first?
It's all subjective, this is just a rough guide as to which pieces generally are better based on a set naxx progression tank.
Calling it useless is a bit harsh.
great help mate cheers switching my dk from dps to tank ty !
Hi friends,
I am new in this site.I was only seraching for this stuff.It really helps me to guide.Thanks Kazeyonoma for such a helpful guidence.
Keep sharing and be in touch....
hey just so you know, the links are broken D:
I was bummed when I saw they were broken as well! I've used polar's guide on two characters now, and it is fantastic. If anyone is looking for it, I found it on the forums at
Sorry, I don't know how to make it say the name of the page =D
I'll likely update all of these when I can find them again, apologies.
There we go, all of the links are re-updated, be warned some of these guides are old, so use them with a level of discretion!
thanks a ton!
These are all "GUIDES".... not "THOU SHALT GEAR YOUR TOON THIS WAY". Read through them, and spend some time learning the mechanics of the game so that you can make educated, logical decisions. Gear is always changing. You need to have an understanding at to what your class's key stats and abilities are and build to support a concept, be it dps, healing, or tanking.
And please, do not get seduced by "gear score". It counts for nothing if you have mismatched gear that conflicts in its purpose, or doesn't support the talent build of your toon.
I think Feldern's pre-raid tank files for Rawr are worth a link in this sticky:
At least for paladins (what I know about), it pretty much identifies the best in slot for pre-raid items.
Updated to include TinyTankz guide!
I've got a tank gearing up priority guide (and gear list) for Cataclysm if this thread is going to be maintained.
The list itself is at http://maintankadin.failsafedesign.c...rb_v=viewtopic
Also linked via this forum at http://www.tankspot.com/showthread.p...ar-Progression

Swedish cops are on the look-out for a quintet of tattooed girls who dragged a 50-year-old man off his bicycle, pulled down his trousers and smalls and "sexually molested" the poor bloke. The incident happened on 8 July in Örebro, central Sweden, the Aftonbladet newspaper reports. One of the gang - described as 5' 7" tall and …
Do they have IT jobs in Sweden?
Fixed the IT angle for you.
Oh God.....
......please let this happen to me!!!!!!! Right now or when I'm fifty. I'm not fussy and I'll not call the old bill.
In fact I wonder how many times this has happened and NOT been reported.
There has to be some blokes with smiles on their faces who know more.......
The Warning will not stop the Trolls.
Right i'm off to by myself a bike for a tour round europe if your not molested in Sweden you can get money off in Germany.
can i be the first to say that i for one will be willing to act as a guinnea pig for the swedish police. maybe its an incentive scheme to get people riding bikes? i might bike to work if i know that i will be molested by 4 women on the way in... :)
Lovely girls...
"Perhaps there are others who've had the same thing happen to them."
Or perhaps those who spend their days dreaming of this happening to them... *sigh*
Oh the perks to be had in Sweden
I can see this town becoming a big hit with male tourists - Amsterdam, beware.
Cynicism: is this just a cunning ploy by their tourism board?
I welcome our sexually enraged female overlords. "Ooh, ooh! Slave volunteer over here, ladies!"
Did they have cold hands?
The local plod also made the comment that they were not aware of the chap being filmed. I wonder why they felt a need to say that?
Only one thing I can say to that....
Warning, no IT angle
Get rid of that! Stop publishing the comments of people complaining about the IT angle either, I'd rather see a non IT article rather than no article at all, some of them I don't have any interest in reading.. so I don't, and I don't comment that I didn't want to read it either.
Wouldn't want to be on the end of the stink-eye from the male townsfolk for fingering the suspects for that incident!
This is poor reporting; where's the mention of the location?
I have a free weekend coming up and a little trip with my bicycle in that part of the town could turn out right grand!
Mines the one with the chrome plated bicycle clips in the pocket.

Attack of the...
Phantom Fondlers?
I'm already over fifty. What's "yes please" in Swedish?
Why did he go to the police?
Because he couldn't find his way back to the place where he was "attacked" and needed directions, maybe?
The real question
is of course: were they hot?
Have to go now, there are some inner tubes to inflate.
@Scott 19
LMAO...you beat to it you b*stard :0)
Re: Warning, no IT angle
>fingering the suspects
Look, we all know, OK? Anyone who simply cannot resist is getting booted off the internet forever. Alternatively I may decide to make an example of you by letting through your sniggerings of screaming obviousness and exhorting all others to pie you. And not in the good way.
Crime Watch
I wonder if they will do a Police re-enactment? Keep 'em Peeled!
Open Your Eyes
This is Green propaganda! A disgracful attempt to get more men out of their cars and on their bikes.
What I'm wondering....
...is whether they'll recreate this on Crimewatch?
Translation required
"grabbed his bike's rack"
So what's that Swedish slang for?
How about
a playmobile re-enactment
yeah yeah getting it now
Could I become....
an undercover dick?
This may just be the incentive I needed to go and oil the jolly old velocipede this weekend and take it out. I'm not in Sweden, but there's always the danger of copycat attacks to take into consideration.
The tweed one with the leather elbow patches and the grey wig and bicycle clips in the pockets please.
PS: Apart from the bicycle, were any of the other participants equipped with a nice rack?
If it had been filmed on phone cameras
Would it make this a happy-fwapping?
Where's the playmobil reconstruction?
Get off your bike.
Re : Sarah Bee
Sarah are you trying to raise the tone of the comments?
How long have you been with El Reg?
In this country, it's usually the victims who are trying to beat off the attackers...
Surely an IT angle
How often has Google Maps rendered the location of Orebro today?
@Ms. Bee
Would it help if I were riding a bicycle at the time?
This heinous breach of order
cries out for Playmobil. With a 6' photographer and coppers and the Tour de France, as long as I'm wishing.
@ Blue Eyed Boy
"Ja tak" if I remember the getting distant past correctly. Pronunciation more or less "Ya tack".
And don't forget "Tak var" afterwards.
Erm, is it me?
If we flip the genders does this turn into a serious assault with a lifetime on the Sex Offenders Register?
On the other hand; pass my coat and where did I put my passport?
@Dork Lard: Why did he go to the police?
It was the closest place.
He then bragged in 3 stores, 2 homes, and a church. Word is, he's still telling folk, one building at a time.
Riding his bike the whole way.
Why is this not a serious assault?
If a lady was assaulted in a similar manner there would be a major investigation and it would be treated very seriously but as it's a man being assaulted by multiple women that seems less serious?
That said, I don't think I'd report it either, and probably make sure I use the same route on my bike every day....
Poor chap
I think the correct terminology is "gang rape", perhaps that only applys when men do it.
@The real question
We only have hot blondes in Sweden, didn't you know that? They are all over us...
RE: Why did he go to the police?
Or maybe they didnt finish what they started?
Fingering the suspects? I think that's what they're accused of doing to the victim.
Swedish lessons please ASAP
No! Don't! Stop!
No Don't! Stop!
I have commuted by bike to/from work twice this week and I would do it much more often if I was at risk of this. I might even take the long way home.
(Sort of reminds me of a joke I think I saw on El Reg earlier this week: Two nuns on a bicycle: "I don't come this way much.")
I want to...
...ride my bi-SEE-kal, I want to ride my biiiike....
It's a fair cop, guv.
Its been reported that the Swedish dicks are hard-on the heels of the perps. Anyone confirm?
re. Crime Watch
"I wonder if they will do a Police re-enactment?"
I think I may have seen something similar already [web address withheld]...
Did any of them look like Paris?
Israeli chewing gum
Sounds like someone in Gaza strip is already exporting the latest Isrealian weapon to Sweden...
Re: @zid
Can I remember all Dara O'Briain's comments
Let's see - they're going to dress up a copper as a cyclist - the girls will be surprised when they see the policeman's helmet, and even more surprised by the police chopper circling around. Of course, calling the station for advice and back up will be met with the comment "Roger and out", and of course everyone will want to examine the entire body of evidence.
Alas, I've been a keen cyclist for over a decade, with many thousands of molestation free miles under my belt
Mines the one with "Banned" on the back...
re Sarah Bee
can't throw pie.

Public assistance or benefit fraud occurs when individuals lie or withhold information to receive benefits they are not eligible for, or use their benefits for monetary gain. People who commit benefit fraud steal valuable resources and hurt those that need benefits the most.
Through enhanced technology and a new partnership between Buncombe County Health and Human Services, the Sheriff's Office, and the District Attorney's Office, we have joined forces to educate, report, investigate and prosecute fraud in our community.
We all have a part to play in keeping benefit fraud out of our community:
Through a newly integrated case management system called NC Fast, eligibility is better tracked across programs. Universal caseworkers have access to client information across all public assistance programs, and are able to uncover fraud more quickly.
Building on this new technology, Health and Human Services, in partnership with the Sheriff's Office and the District Attorney's Office have created a team that has expertise on public assistance and investigation skills to detect and investigate cases of benefit fraud.
This team works to investigate and prosecute offenders as well as educate the public that benefit fraud is a serious crime.
You need to know:
Together we can make sure that those who need help the most get it. Join us in this partnership to stop public assistance fraud in our community. View the full version of the fraud video here.

Even for present-day violinists, the challenges posed by the Caprices are daunting. These include wide-spaced notes to be played on the outer strings of the violin without sounding the strings in between, sustaining melody on one string while playing rapid harmonies or trills on another, imitations of other instruments, huge numbers of notes to be played in a single bow, not to mention rapid, highly chromatic figuration, trilled octaves and guitar-like chords—all of which may be required to be played at breakneck speed with the most elegantly stylish delivery. Despite the fact that there are twenty-four separate works, Paganini does not use them to cover the twenty-four available keys in the manner of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, nor does he apportion them systematically. The Caprices in minor keys tend to be concentrated towards the beginning of the collection, and certain tonalities are more favoured than others—there are five Caprices in E flat major, for example, and three in A minor, including the celebrated No 24. But each Caprice is complete and self-sufficient, no more requiring an accompaniment than J S Bach's solo violin sonatas and partitas—though in fact both Schumann and Szymanowski made versions of some of them with an accompanying piano.
Caprice No 1 in E major (Andante) is sometimes nick-named 'L'arpeggio', for obvious reasons. It contrasts chordal writing with a display of balzato (leaping) bowing, the bow ricochetting across all four strings. A development section in the minor introduces descending scales in thirds. This Caprice is modelled on No 7 from Locatelli's L'arte del violino and thus, in a sense, establishes the tradition within which Paganini intends his Caprices to be viewed. Caprice No 2 in B minor (Moderato) then focuses on détaché playing; it demands wide stretches crossing over the strings and extensions in left-hand technique. Next, Caprice No 3 in E minor (Sostenuto – Presto) opens with a rather grave introduction in octaves, again requiring extension of the fingers of the left hand. After a more rapid middle section the Sostenuto music returns.
Caprice No 4 in C minor (Maestoso) displays various kinds of double-stopping, while Caprice No 5 in A minor (Agitato), a popular encore showpiece, is a kind of rapid cadenza whose outer sections frame a passage of whirlwind scales that demonstrate spiccato bowing. Caprice No 6 in G minor (Adagio) presents an eloquent melody over a left-hand tremolo on the string below it, while Caprice No 7 in A minor (Posato) opens with an imposing passage in octaves, followed by an exhibition of flying staccato. Much of Caprice No 8 in E flat major (Maestoso) is concerned with passages played in thirds, some of them formidably difficult.
Caprice No 9 in E major (Allegretto) has earned the nickname of 'La chasse' ('The hunt'). At the start of the piece the violin's A and E strings are played sul tastiera (on the fingerboard) in order to imitate the sound of a flute (Paganini's marking is imitando il Flauto), while the G and D strings are meant to imitate that of a horn (imitando il Corno). Musically it is essentially a study in double-stopping, with passages of ricochet (bouncing staccato) in the middle section. A different kind of staccato, played martellato (hammered) is the principal focus for Caprice No 10 in G minor (Vivace), while in contrast the expressive Caprice No 11 in C major opens with solemn chords (Andante) enclosing a Presto middle section. Caprice No 12 in A flat major (Allegro) features passages of rapid tenths, played across the strings; a chromatic descent in thirds prefaces and follows a rapid central section played at the point of the bow.
Caprice No 13 in B flat major (Allegro) has gained the popular epithet 'The Devil's Laughter'. It begins with passages of scale-like double-stopping at a moderate speed, but a central section of very rapid runs exercises left-hand flexibility and shifting of position as well as détaché bowing in the right hand. Caprice No 14 in E flat major (Moderato) is a robust study in march-time, requiring its chordal writing to be attacked evenly but with panache; while Caprice No 15 in E minor (Posato) begins with expressive playing in octaves that leads to flamboyant arpeggios in the high register and passages of flying staccato. The rapid semiquaver patterns of Caprice No 16 in G minor (Presto) are contrasted across high and low registers.
Caprice No 17 in E flat major (Sostenuto – Andante) juxtaposes a simple tune in double-stopped sixths on the G and D strings with florid demisemiquaver runs and figuration on the A and E strings. There is an extended, famously difficult central section in octaves. Caprice No 18 in C major (Corrente: Allegro) has a fanfare-like introductory figure on the G string played in numerous different positions, and a central section built upon rapid scales in thirds. Considerable bowing control is called for in Caprice No 19 in E flat major (Lento – Allegro assai), while Caprice No 20 in D major (Allegretto), in its central section, resourcefully employs the D string as a bagpipe-like drone, which forms the underpinning to a sweetly lyrical melody played on the A and E strings. The beautiful opening and closing sections exploit wide-spaced double- and triple-stopped chordal writing.
Caprice No 21 in A major (Amoroso) opens with an almost operatic melody (the marking Amoroso perhaps suggests we should imagine a love scene) played in double-stopped sixths, which is followed by another scintillating display of up-bow staccato. Caprice No 22 in F major (Marcato) has outer sections of grandiose chordal writing, with martellato bowing in the central episode. Caprice No 23 in E flat major (Posato) is a more episodic display piece, demonstrating a variety of techniques, preparing the way for the twenty-fourth and last Caprice.
The climax of the whole cycle is the famous Caprice No 24 in A minor (Quasi presto). In contrast to the simple ternary or binary forms of the other Caprices, No 24 is elaborately structured as a theme, eleven variations and finale. The theme is Paganini's most famous, and has been subjected to countless variation-works by, among others, Liszt, Schumann, Brahms, Rachmaninov, Blacher, Lutoslawski and Andrew Lloyd Webber. This is because it is essentially a brilliantly conceived harmonic skeleton, which exerts an irresistible appeal to be clothed in flesh of musical substance, as Paganini himself does throughout. This splendid work not only sums up the technical challenges of the previous Caprices but adds two new ones—a scintillating section played only with downward bow-strokes and another that alternates fast bowed notes with plucked ones in the left hand, at astonishing speed.

Improved patient comfort and exceptional image quality are a reality with installation of the uniquely designed Philips Panorama High Field Open (HFO) MR system. A sweeping, nearly 360-degree open viewing angle allows patients to always see outside the magnet. They can maintain reassuring visual and in some cases, even physical contact, with staff, parent, or relative. The 160-centimeter wide aperture provides a relaxing, non-claustrophobic MR experience for all ages and sizes of patients.
And image quality is never sacrificed. The Panorama's powerful high field open magnet provides the MR signal equivalent of most closed (cylindrical) MR systems, delivering high-resolution images. Add a significantly large field-of-view, and physicians at Tanner have the opportunity to conduct critical orthopedic studies and to perform specialized interventions not possible on a closed system.
Philips Panorama HFO has been designed with the customer in mind and offers excellent patient comfort and access, particularly for children, elderly patients, clinically obese, and those suffering from painful sports injuries.For more information on Open MRI at Tanner, speak with your physician. If you have a physician's order for an MRI and would like to schedule one in our new Open MRI system, call 770.836.9721.


text: It always feels like we're waiting a long time for a new record from Hypnotic Brass Ensemble – but it's always well worth the wait! This time around, they've found a way to focus their energies even more than before – still sticking strongly in the horn-heavy groove that we love, but also opening things up a bit more on the rhythm tip, too – and going for production that, if anything, makes them sound even more earnest, honest, and spontaneous than before! The record really preserves the live energy that makes the group so compelling – that razor sharp criss-crossing of jazz traditions and styles – steeped in a Chicago legacy that includes Sun Ra and Phil Cohran, but coming across with a hell of a lot more groove than either of them too. Titles include "Touch The Sky", "Kryptonite", "Pluto", "Black Boy", "World Champions", and "Starfighter". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Ain't life a beach? It definitely is for the family members who come and go at this southern California beachfront vacation home, which includes all-encompassing A/V and automation amenities to make life easy.
"The homeowners made it very clear from the beginning that they wanted absolute total automation as well as a complete audio-video entertainment experience throughout the house with a very modern look, minimal equipment exposure and easy-to-use controls," says Dave Munkres of Oxnard, Calif.-based Elite Entertainment Systems, which outfitted the home's high tech. "This was to be a vacation home available to many family members, so maintaining a very minimal footprint in the overall decor of the home, and making it an enjoyable experience for all who used the home was the goal."
Elite worked with Sandefer Construction and the homeowners early in the design process to include the chase-ways and extra cabinet space and extended walls during construction that allowed for all of the future tech. The results managed to integrate every facet of what the homeowners sought.
The home offers a keyless access, security and fully integrated automation system with two color touchscreens all from control manufacturer HAI, says Munkres. Perimeter CCTV cameras from Leviton are fed into an HAI network DVR and are also viewable on TVs throughout the home.
UPB lighting control from Pulseworx is used throughout the home, and complemented by automated motorized shades from Somfy that allow for Pacific vistas or privacy, whichever is called for at the touch of a button.
A NuVo Grand Concerto distributed music system provides six sources of audio in every room, including two zones of surround sound, in the Great Room and Media Room. Both spaces also feature Denon audio and video equipment, a Sharp 52" and 65" Aquos LCD TV, respectively, and speakers from Bay Audio. Two URC MX-980's provide control of the systems as well as the lighting and shades.
"All A/V equipment is tucked away on two Middle Atlantic pull-out racks in a discrete cabinet," says Munkres. "Video is sent to both main LCD displays via Cat5e HDMI extenders. Both TVs have custom built LCR bars from Bay Audio that minimize appearance in the rooms without compromising sound."
The Game Room's 46" Sharp LCD floats in the corner on a Sanus articulating mount and utilizes the NuVo system's ceiling speakers. Each bedroom features its own Sharp LCD TV, a NuVo keypad, a pair of Bay Audio in-ceiling speakers and a wall port for local iPod connection, as well as a local shade control keypad. After all, the good views abound.
The master suite has an HAI touchscreen for total home control, and a TV lift at the foot of the bed hides a 37" Sharp LCD controlled by a Universal Remote Control MX-880 remote, which also controls the lights and shades. The master bath has a 32" Sharp LCD mounted above the tub surrounded by a full wall mirror that was custom cut prior to mounting, giving the TV a floating appearance.
All of these subsystems are tied together via HAI's OmniPro II, which is fully controllable from the touchscreens as well as from remote PC access via HAI's Snaplink interface. Along with the HAI security controls in the home, a Panasonic phone system adds intercom and door phone features.

Post subject: Using FC Fleet Ship Cards in SFB
This is mainly for Mike West who wrote that article on using FC cards in SFB in CL 42, but if anyone else has an opinion, give it. Here is my question:
If I want to use the fleet card side in SFB, what so you suggest doing with the scanner and sensor tracks. I realize that the repair track would have to be halved for the smaller ship, but I am not sure about those other tracks.
I don't want to have a generic number that never changes. Part of SFB is getting your systems hit and the degradation of capability. Maybe taking two boxes off?

I'd just use the original sensor/scanner tracks. It's not going to be that "wrong".

Well, in the article I just simply said to skip sensors and scanners. To do anything else would require making your own rules to use them. You could just import them from SFB like Steve suggests (and use the same tracks regardless of scale). Or, you could import them and destroy two boxes for each hit in fleet scale.
The article was written from the assumption that the player was new to SFB and didn't have all of the SFB SSDs. In that case, you won't know what the sensor and scanner tracks are "supposed" to be. So, the article just said to skip them and move on.
To simulate them anyway, the easiest way is to assign a beginning rating of 6 to size class 4 ships, a rating of 7 to size class 3 ships, and a rating of 8 to size class 2 or larger ships. This is for both sensor and scanner. Each hit will drop the rating by one (in squadron scale; two in fleet scale). Obviously, a rating above 6 counts as 6 for function, but is used to give it extra durability.
(The above is just a suggestion. It is all "do it how it makes sense to you", so I just offer the above as a suggestion to get things going.)

I have all these ship cards, and now I am moving to SFB. I just got a great deal on used SFB stuff, and have TONS of SSDs, and books. A whole SFB library up to R6. I am going to buy the e23 SSD books, however, because I like the books for the rules, but PDFs are way more manageable than loose SSDs.
Anyway, we might use fleet scale for some of the larger battles in SFB if we do a local campaign, which probably means converting some SFB SSDs to fleet scale, which seems easy enough.
And might use F&E's battle system to play out those battles we cannot do in full, either because they are mismatched or there is no time.
Thanks for the hints. I'll figure something out.

Sweet! Although, I am a bit skeptical. I hope we will be upgrading to vB 4.2 as I have noticed some problems with vB 4.1
Either way, good luck and thanks!

Thanks guys! We appreciate the work you put into this forum =]
If you need a hand with the templates by the way, I can help out a little. I have some experience with VB layouts, but I'm no veteran or anything :/

U mad bro?
So when are we becoming TOKYOBASE?
This vBulletin version is a really good, easy and normal version for NarutoBase. Whatever...I hope this new version will be a good version too...
Epic! Good work NB Staff! The VBulletin 4 layout is so much more sleek and user-friendly. I'm looking forward to the update :D!
Thanks and good luck
Thanks for the update Zise.
I wonder how many members, won't like the change to the update.

Can we have any information on what we might lose? eg. Notes, album pictures, etc. etc.
I'll probably need to back up.

On Saturday, the forums will be closed at 9:00 CET (UTC+1). A major maintenance has been planned along with the much needed upgrade of the Forums to the version 4 of vBulletin. This is a very big step for us, since our current vBulletin version is not getting automatically updated any longer.
The reason for this upgrade is that the version we currently are running has reached somewhat of a dead end, and it's started to get unstable due to our high user count. With the new version we expect the site to run a lot more smooth with less downtime, and it also opens up space for a whole lot of other upgrades and fun stuff for all. We hope we have your support on this.
This will cause a lot of changes to the site and especially its plugins; some of the ones we are using right now are not compatible with the new version and will have to be removed. However, the migration to v. 4 will allow NarutoBase to release new add ons and plugins which will make the forums a better and nicer place!
The plugins that will be lost are: the Kumi system, the gifts, the awards, and some other plugins that we have on the profiles. Some of them will be restored after the upgrade as soon as possible, so don't worry, the awards will be added back later!
As soon as the migration is finished, we will open up the forums to the public with the default vBulletin theme. A new theme will be added later on but you have to give us some time for that since the template system has changed dramatically. Along the day we will migrate back the plugins and based on the comments there might be some other changes as well. So yes, the forums will get a fresh new look as well!
Of course we will do our best to migrate without any troubles but unexpected things might occur, so your patience is much appreciated.
Thank you,
NB's staff
Awesome dude. I know that there area few plugins supported by Vb4 that allow an awards system, but as well as other goodies. I guess it depends on if were going to vb 4.0+ or 4.1+
It utilizes the points (Kumi) system to allow people to change their own names based upon the amount of kumi they have and it opens up for great amount of opportunity to allow people to do things themselves without always bugging you guys.
Not only that but it also allows awards to be given out by an automated system like 100th page post award. Or the spam award. I dont know if it would be good to use just estimating from how much data NB itself consumes. Just thought Id say that just incase you didnt know ^_^
Cool, that's awesome
Cool! ^^ An updated NB! ^^ Can´t wait for it!
D awesome

All change! A/W may be the season of brooding deep jewel colours, but if yesterday's three big shows are anything to go by, S/S '09 will see a decidedly gentler and (dare we say it) easier to wear colour palette on offer. Pale pewter, shimmering silver and smoky pinks took centre stage at Giorgio Armani, while Christopher Bailey - the man's a colour genius we tell you! - at Burberry Prorsum artfully mixed faded tobacco, slate grey, chartreuse and sea spray green to create colours that mimicked a perfect English summer's day. While Alberta Ferretti took ultra-feminine shrimp pink, violet and dusty lilac and threw them together with teal, peacock blue or russet which proved a striking and truly modern combination. Texture was also a major theme. From Armani's gauzy crinkled jackets, to Ferretti's luxurious fringing and Burberry's sequin dipped snakeskin trenches, plain simply isn't an option this spring.

If you live in the Chicagoland area, I encourage you to pay a visit to the DuPage County Genealogical Society webpage. You can find a wealth of information here such as online Cemetery, Census, Marriage, and Military records for the DuPage County area. Their meeting schedule is posted as well as classes they offer. The Society offers publications available through their website for purchase. They also have a list of ongoing and new projects for members to become involved in.
I attended the DCGS conference in February and it was fantastic! It had been a while since I attended anything like that because of busy schedules with my family. I had the pleasure of hearing Elissa Scalise Powell and John Philip Colletta speak. This was the first time I heard Elissa speak and I learned a great deal about the Research Cycle and the Research Report. Both very helpful to me since I am now beginning to write my family's history.
I heard John speak several years ago at another local conference and he was just as entertaining and informative this time. I could listen to John speak yearly because while some of the information I hear is "old," some ideas are "new". With each year I find myself in a new place in my research and some of his "old" ideas now have a great deal of meaning for me. If you have not had the opportunity to hear John speak about Naturalization and Immigration records, I encourage you to do so. You will come away with so much knowledge!
The DCGS is a resource not to be missed if you live in the area! I am looking forward to attending their conference again in February 2011.

Chicago students see a guide in President Obama
- Written by Gregory Wallace and Adam Aigner-Treworgy/CNN
- Published in News
CHICAGO – To these young men, President Barack Obama is a model of what they could become -- if they can avoid violence, unemployment and other pitfalls that have derailed some residents in their communities.
High school students enrolled in the Chicago schools' "Becoming a Man" program sat down with the president Friday in their school before he delivered a speech about the blight of gun violence on communities and the economy.
Student Vontate Stewart said Obama described his own struggles of the past and how he overcame them.
"He told us how he grew up and the situations he had been in and how he handled them," Stewart told CNN after their meeting. "And he just gave us ideas how to handle situations and let us learn from the situations he had been in. "
Their conversation "was helpful and very motivating," Stewart said.
His peer, Ronald McCormick, joined this program after a conversation with a teacher when he landed in detention. He was not a chronic troublemaker, but has seen his grades improve and said the conversation with Obama resonated with him.
"I got good advice about how he talked about how he dealt with his anger issues, his problems. So we had a good experience with him today,' McCormick said.
That teacher, Marshaun Bacon, said Obama gave the young men in his program an "example of the power of hard work, self-determination."
"So now I'm going to challenge the group to say, now that the president has spoken to you, now that you have seen the best in what you can do, how are you actually going to go out and do those things?" Bacon said. "Each man will have that challenge and will work at it individually, but also as a group. 'What is our next move?' 'How do we continue to exemplify the best of what we can do?'"
Obama was born in Hawaii but raised his own two daughters within a mile of the Hyde Park Career Academy where he spoke.
"That's really what I've come here to talk about today – raising our kids," Obama said. "I'm here to make sure that we talk about and then work towards giving every child every chance in life; building stronger communities and new ladders of opportunity that they can climb into the middle class and beyond; and, most importantly, keeping them safe from harm.'
The president spoke about the "hole in that child's heart" that comes from gun violence. In neighborhoods across the country, "it can feel like for a lot of young people the future only extends to the next street corner or the outskirts of town – that no matter how much you work or how hard you try, your destiny was determined the moment you were born."
Chicago saw more than 400 gun deaths last year and just last month, 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton was gunned down near her school a week after she participated in the festivities around Obama's inauguration. His wife, first lady Michelle Obama, attended the teen's funeral and two men have been charged with her murder.
Obama introduced the "Becoming a Man" program students in his speech and called them "exceptional young men" – especially so, he said, because of their own struggles.
"What I explained to them was I had issues, too, when I was their age. I just had an environment that was a little more forgiving," he said. "So when I screwed up, the consequences weren't as high as when kids on the South Side screw up.
"But these guys are no different than me and we had that conversation about what does it take to change," Obama continued, later adding that "for a lot of young boys and young men, in particular, they don't see an example of fathers or grandfathers, uncles, who are in a position to support families and be held up and respected.'
Student Allen Ester said Obama told the group, "if we gonna change it's gotta start within ourselves."
"I had lost a couple friends due to gun violence and you know to the streets, or whatever, so I really think it's time for a change – not just me but with a lot of people ... in Chicago," he told CNN. "It really ain't safe out here right now."
Bacon, the teacher, said he hoped the students who met with Obama would carry the conversation with them.
"He talked about the fact that he had to make a commitment to stay the path that he was on. He talked about times where he was discouraged and he thought about giving up but it stuck to it, and he's done pretty well for himself," Bacon said.
"So I'm hoping our guys can emulate that same example, and who knows what is in store for them. "Maybe we're looking at one of the next presidents."

I've made this recipe several times and, with a LOT less bread crumbs, the recipe is terrific as it stands. When forming the patties it helps keep the mixture together if your hands are wet.
Easy Salmon Cakes
From EatingWell: Winter 2004, EatingWell Serves Two, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)
If you are trying to boost your intake of omega-3s, try this simple favorite. It is a great way to use convenient canned (or leftover) salmon. The tangy dill sauce provides a tart balance.

This is the recipe for you if you want to mask the salmon with bread crumbs, celery & onion.
way to much bread crumbs should be reduced to 1/2 or 3/4 cup not 1 and 3/4 cup!!!!!! crazy

The song on which the variations are based was written by Sergio Ortega, a Chilean composer whose work was part of the cultural movement inspired by the formation of the Unidad Popular in 1969, together with the left coalition under Salvadore Allende's leadership. Its music represented a fusion of classical forms with popular melodies, or, conversely, employed traditional folk instruments in classically orientated contexts. Three months before Augusto Pinochet's military coup, Ortega heard a street singer in front of the Palace of Finance in Santiago shouting '¡El pueblo unido jamás será vencido!', a well-known Chilean chant for social change. The chant stuck in Ortega's mind. A few days later he sat at his piano, and the tune emerged in a flash. The song was performed in public two days later by the group Quilapayun and quickly became an anthem for the Chilean Resistance.
Similarly, Rzewski's variations were written at white heat during September and October of 1975, in response to a commission from pianist Ursula Oppens for a work to complement Beethoven's 'Diabelli' Variations in a recital at the Kennedy Center. Little in Rzewski's creative output up until that time hints at the determined eclecticism, breadth of scale, and unbridled, passionate virtuosity infusing every bar of this ambitious piece. At the same time, the work is specifically, even rigorously structured. The theme, for instance, contains thirty-six measures (bars), followed by thirty-six variations. There is a modulation pattern which takes the D minor theme and transposes it up a fifth with each subsequent variation, thereby covering all twelve minor keys. The variations are partitioned into groups of six, described by the composer thus:
Six cycles, each of which consists of six stages, in which different musical relationships appear in order: 1. simple events; 2. rhythms; 3. melodies; 4. counterpoints; 5. harmonies; 6. combinations of all these. Each 'cycle' embodies a distinct, albeit flexible character or emotional quality linked to its corresponding 'stage'. Thus the first six variations serve as a kind of exposition, for which the theme is displaced, inverted, paraphrased, and distilled across the keyboard's entire range. A wide variety of dynamic, pedalling and articulation indications come into play. In Variation 5 the composer requests a mode of attack for which one plays chords staccato, then catches the harmonic overtones with the pedal. Rhythmic challenges dominate cycle 2, from the caustic grace-note-like triplets in Variation 7 to Variation 10's pointillistic outbursts. The third cycle (Variations 13 to 18), is governed by a lyrical, folk-like modality, while the fourth's angular rhythms and bravura passagework (Variations 19 to 24) chart darker, virtuosic waters. Cycle 5's variations are the freest in form, encompassing the quiet, aching chordal essay of Variation 25, Variation 26's iron-clad march rhythms and the haunting Variation 27—an extended minimalist foray that commences with meditation and ends with mania. The final six variations summarize all that has come before, like familiar images being conjured up out of nowhere, only to disintegrate into the maelstrom of ideas pulling and tugging at each other. After the sixth cycle, the pianist has the option of improvising a cadenza. Mr Hamelin takes Rzewski up on his offer, unleashing a brilliant flurry of extemporized music before settling into the theme's triumphal recapitulation.
In addition to the theme, two other songs of political import interweave throughout the variations. One is the Italian revolutionary song Bandiera Rossa, which refers to the Italian people who, in the 1970s, provided refuge for victims of Chilean fascism, and the second is Hanns Eisler's 1932 anti-Fascist Solidaritätslied which also figures in Marc-Andre Hamelin's cadenza.
