An adult learner is defined as an enrolled student who meets at least one of the following:
1. Age 24 or higher
2. Veteran
3. Someone who has had a hiatus from education for 4 years
4. Someone who has multiple adult roles
Adult learners have extraordinary challenges as they attempt to fulfill responsibilities to family and work while balancing requirements of being an enrolled student. To provide better service to adult learners, certain accommodations are to be provided as they process administrative transactions within the university. Adult learners:
1. Do not have to maintain continuous fall/spring enrollment
(maximum stop-out = 3 years).
2. May move freely among campuses without a formal change of assignment, providing their academic program is offered at the campus of enrollment.
3. May stay in their original program year.
4. Are not subject to Senate Policies 83-80.2 and 83-80.3 (time for credit acquisition requirements).
The academic colleges have the responsibility of identifying their academic programs to which these adult learner accommodations would not be extended. Colleges are encouraged to include as many programs in this category as possible, but it is recognized that due to limitations such as external accreditation, selected programs might not permit such accommodations.
1. Determination of an adult learner will be made at the time of initial admission and entered in the Integrated Student Information System (ISIS) by the Undergraduate Admissions Officer or the college dean of the student's college of enrollment.
2. The ISIS system will provide an on-line screen for entry and update of an "adult student" indicator in the student record on the ISIS database. There are two possible values:
No (default value) = not an adult learner
Yes = the student is an adult learner
3. The Office of the University Registrar is responsible for maintenance of the list of those academic programs that permit adult learner accommodations. The colleges are responsible for notifying the University Registrar of changes to this list. A program cannot be removed from the list if students are actively enrolled in the program.
4. The re-enrollment process is the vehicle that will enforce the adult learner accommodations related to program year, stop-out period, and allowable academic program. Adult learners who stop-out for more than 3 years must be re-enrolled to continue their enrollment. Such re-enrollment requests will automatically require a Dean's review. The Dean may deny the re-enrollment request if the student's prior program is no longer offered.
The Degree Audit process is the vehicle that will enforce adult learner accommodations related to completion of credit requirements.

Danville boys win fourth straight All 'A' regional title
The Danville boys won their fourth consecutive 12th Region All "A" Classic championship tonight, beating Burgin 75-49 in the title game at Monticello.
The game was tied at 34-all late in the first half, but Danville (7-10) then scored 13 consecutive points while Burgin (13-4) was shut out for the final 1:18 of the first half and the first 3:46 of the second.
All five starters scored in double figures for the Admirals, led by Tryston Ford with 16 points and Devonta Alcorn with 15. Alex Beckerson led the Bulldogs with 13 points.
Danville advances to the statewide All "A" Classic, where they reached the semifinals last year before losing to eventual champion Betsy Layne. The Admirals will play DeSales (9-9), which defeated Louisville Holy Cross 65-55 tonight for the 6th Region title, in their first-round game at 9:30 p.m. Thursday at Frankfort Convention Center.
This is the sixth All "A" regional title for Danville, which also won in 1998 and '99 and is 4-5 at the statewide tourney. It is also the third time in four years that the Admirals have beaten Burgin for the championship.
Somerset won the girls All "A" regional title, rallying from an early 20-5 deficit to defeat Monticello 67-57 in double-overtime.

About Ouray
Over millions of years, volcanic eruptions, followed by periods of intense glaciations, created the rugged and scenic peaks of the San Juan Mountains. These same geologic forces laid down rich mineral deposits. Over the millennia, erosion and uplift brought these deposits to the surface and created the network of basins and gulches that characterize the mountains today.
Some of the first human inhabitants of this region were the Tabequache band of the Ute people who came here during the summer months to hunt in the game-rich forests and soak in the "Sacred Mineral Waters" or hot springs that permeated the area. Beginning in the early eighteenth century the Utes helped guide the early Spanish explorers who named these mountains the San Juans.
European settlers began arriving in earnest in the late 1800's, drawn by the discovery of abundant mineral riches, especially gold and silver. By 1873, tensions between the Utes and the European settlers were at a peak. The great Ute chief, Chief Ouray, was responsible for the peaceful transition from Ute control to European control. He reluctantly signed a government treaty transferring the land to the new settlers. In honor of his efforts, the town of Ouray was named for him when it was incorporated in 1876.
The town continued to grow, fueled by the explosion of mining claims. By 1880, Ouray had a population of 2,600 with churches, a school, a lively entertainment district, and a thriving commercial street. However, the price of silver collapsed by 1885 and many of the miners left the area. Tom Walsh's Camp Bird gold mine, one of the richest mines every found, kept mining alive in Ouray. Today, ghost towns like Sneffles, Red Mountain Town, and Animas Forks are all that remain of the extraordinary mining activity that exploded during this time.
Much of Ouray's Victorian architecture, structures built between 1880 and 1900, are still standing. The town is both a Colorado and a National Historic district, and most of the Victorian era homes and businesses have been beautifully restored. Some of the most notable buildings include the Beaumont Hotel (1886), Miners Hospital (1887) and the Walsh Library (1899). These and others are included in the Walking Tour of Ouray developed by the Ouray Historical Society. The Ouray County Historical Museum has been called one of the best small museums in the west by the Smithsonian.

Consumption-Based Tax Best Way to Enhance Savings, Investment, and Growth
PHOENIX-In a report released today by the Goldwater Institute, economist Stephen Slivinski offers Arizona policymakers three different consumption-based tax reforms. "Arizona's current tax system punishes savings and investment," Slivinski says. "A consumption-based tax system would be an enormous boon to savings, investment, and growth." The report appears as the Governor's Citizens Finance Review Commission begins deliberations over how to reform the state's tax system.
The object of tax reform, Slivinski argues, should be to decrease the tax burden on Arizonans. "We should focus on making Arizona's tax code simple, fair, neutral, and regionally competitive," Slivinski says. According to his projections, a 3-percent flat tax could save taxpayers $3 billion, a 3-percent consumed income tax $3.3 billion, and a 3-percent retail sales tax at least $2.4 billion. If phased in over a five- to ten-year period, those static losses to state government revenue could be offset by increased economic growth and fiscal restraint.
Short of comprehensive tax reform, Slivinski offers policymakers a menu of five smaller reforms: restoring inflation indexing of the personal income tax code, conforming the state tax code to new federal depreciation rules, equalizing personal and corporate income tax rates at 5.04 percent, lowering income tax rates to a regionally competitive level, and eliminating the corporate income tax. Those reforms would save Arizona taxpayers from $50 million to $266 million the first year.
Slivinski gives a mixed review to the reform principles guiding the governor's commission. Some of the commission's principles are laudable, Slivinski says, "but some are based on the notion that the current system collects too little revenue." The study shows that the sales tax, which critics claim is riddled with loopholes, is actually quite robust, growing apace with personal income growth, and the personal income tax actually grows faster than personal income growth in the boom periods. Slivinski has been invited to testify before the commission June 12.
The study, "The Right Cure for What Ails Us: A Prescription for Comprehensive Tax Reform," is available here.

Protestors shut down I-94 near Lodge Freeway in Detroit
Updated On: Mar 11 2013 03:13:42 PM EDT
Two vehicles involved in what Michigan State Police are calling a protest brought traffic to a halt on EB I-94 near the Lodge Freeway in Detroit Monday morning.
Related: Detroit EFM protesters seek federal intervention
Police were able to pull the protestors over and write them citations.
Police issued five tickets to protestors for going under 45 mph on the Interstate. Three people were arrested for violations not related to the protest.
One person was arrested for driving on a suspended license, two drivers were arrested after it was discovered they had open warrants from Eastpointe and Detroit.
The vehicles involved had signs on them, one reading "Democracy" and another reading "Detroit emergency manager."
They are upset over Governor Rick Snyder declaring the city of Detroit is in the midst of a financial emergency and the search for an emergency financial manager.

This isn't the first time EFM protestors have caused traffic tangles. On Wednesday, a handful of protestors slowed traffic on southbound Interstate 75 near Interstate 94 in Detroit. Traffic also was backed up on northbound I-75.
Detroit is abuzz over who Gov. Rick Snyder will appoint to try to right Detroit's financial ship. Two prominent names that keep getting mentioned are former Washington D.C. mayor Anthony Williams and former Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker. Yet, both men have adamantly saying they are not and will not take the job.
City courses are betting on someone from the law firm both Baker and Williams are associated with -- McKenna Long and Abridge out of Atlanta.

What it's like to ride a DMU
One of the details in Mike Sanders' rapid_rail_presentation is the proposal to use diesel multiple units (DMUs) — a passenger rail vehicle propelled by an onboard diesel engine. This is unique because most commuter rail operators run conventional locomotives pulling (or pushing) conventional passenger rail coaches. Regional examples of conventional commuter rail are Chicago's Metra, Dallas' TRE, Minneapolis' Northstar, and Nashville's Music City Star).
DMUs are easily confused with electrically-powered light rail vehicles and modern streetcars, and the difference is slight: other than the powertrain and the lack of overhead wires, DMUs that run on freight rail tracks must conform to strict crash regulations. This, unfortunately, makes them heavy. At the same time a DMU can be (arguably) cheaper to operate on routes with light demand.
To make matters even more confusing, one of the few places in America where DMUs operate — New Jersey Transit's River Line — is actually called a light rail line. We can't even tell you that the terms "commuter rail" and "light rail" are even 100% distinct, since systems bearing either label can perform similar goals — transporting commuters to and from the urban core — over similar distances. A good rule of thumb, however, is that light rail better serves urban environments with closer stops; commuter rail better serves suburbs with stops spaced further apart… regardless of the vehicle type or fuel source.
We had a chance to ride a DMU transit route on a recent trip to Portland. The TriMet's Westside Express Service has been in operation since 2009 and serves four suburbs. We'd like to be the one to tell you that this route was trouble-free to construct and operate, but that would be a lie.
Regardless, the day we rode WES it was glitch-free, on-time, full of passengers, and included in our $4.75 all-day transit pass (unusual for US commuter rail). The sensation was a mash-up of riding any other train with the subtle reminder that a large diesel engine was underfoot (and releasing particulate pollution, although not nearly as much as if all riders had chosen to drive congested I-5 instead). Bikes were onboard — you can't really avoid them in Portland, even if you tried — and the easy transfer from light rail, plush seats, and a friendly conductor made our brief trip a pleasant experience.
As for the Sanders proposal, the reliance on DMUs for all-day service on multiple lines would indeed make it unique in all of North America, perhaps the world. The company that built the WES vehicles has reincorporated in Ohio — with a Missouri-based partner, no less — and plans to resume production soon. Hopefully they will engineer improvements that make the vehicles more reliable for daily service.1 comment
Why Portland actually means something for KC
After years of struggling with a stubborn Bush administration that refused to consider streetcars a valid form of urban transit, Portland and the Federal Transportation Administration announced a reversal last week.
The flood gates are now open, and that flood includes Kansas City's streetcar proposal. Finally, Portland actually means something for Kansas City.
Cities across the country have been actively planning modern streetcar lines, mostly with the intent of reviving their urban cores. Moving more transit riders is still critical, but secondary to the economic development motive. While the previous administration dithered, cities moved ahead and proved them wrong; Portland, the darling of new urbanism, was at the forefront.
The money for Portland comes from the FTA's Small Starts program, which also is funding our Troost MAX BRT line. Federal funding requests must be less than $75 million; Kansas City's downtown streetcar proposal clocks in at $60 million.
While the federal transportation funding situation is in flux — and will continue to be throughout next year — the viability of a federal match, and potential for an early kick-start via the regional TIGER application, enhance our prospects significantly.
In short, it's Kansas City's best shot for initiating light rail service. We discourage readers from signing Clay Chastain's latest petition, or voting for it should he successfully garner enough signatures. Forcing the city to deal with yet another legal quagmire would distract from the effort to move a real plan forward. If anyone thinks the city would every actually try to implement one of Chastain's plan, we have a gondola to sell you.10 comments
Commuter rail before (or after) light rail?
Our last post about the regional commuter rail proposal unleashed questions about how the plan relates to the downtown streetcar proposal, and whether (or if) one is needed before the other. We decided to simply lay out some data so you can formulate your own conclusion.
The table below represents America's "new rail cities" — metropolitan areas that built new rail infrastructure after the expansion of highway capacity and the rise of the private auto. This excludes cities that never dismantled their urban or commuter rail infrastructure in the 1950s (Boston, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and San Francisco). This provides a more balanced comparison to what KC is up against when implementing services from scratch.
Urban Rail refers to any rail line that is designed to serve an urban core with frequent, all-day service (subways, elevateds, streetcars, light rail). Commuter Rail refers to any rail line that connects outlying suburbs with the central business district with less frequent service focused primarily on rush hours.
The year corresponds to the initial year of operation. Fully-funded rail lines under construction are listed; BRT lines are not.

Other cities applying for TIGER streetcar funds
In light of yesterday's ordinance supporting a regional TIGER application that includes $6 million for funding of a downtown streetcar, we've been keeping tabs on the following cities that are making similar applications for TIGER stimulus funds:
- Salt Lake City is applying for $35 million in TIGER funds (which augment a local match, unlike KC) to fund a two-mile streetcar line connecting a light rail station and the Sugar House business district.
- Atlanta has funded a $600,000 study and is teaming up with the local transit agency to apply for as much as $300 million in TIGER funds (the state-wide cap) to kick-start a two-line streetcar system in the "Peachtree Corridor" connecting downtown and midtown. See peachtreecorridor.org.
- Boise is applying for $40 million in TIGER funds to pay for a 16-block downtown streetcar route that could cost up to $65 million. Operations would be paid for through special fees assessed on adjacent property owners. See boisestreetcar.org.
- Dallas is applying for $48 million in TIGER funds for a three-mile streetcar line connecting Dallas Union Station and the Oak Cliff Arts District. See oakcliffta.org. Dallas already has a privately-run vintage streetcar line that serves the Uptown neighborhood (and several light rail lines, of course).
- Fort Worth is also reportedly applying for a similar amount in TIGER funds to jump-start a multi-line streetcar system.
Kansas City's $6 million request won't cover the entire project cost, of course, but will likely pay for any upfront design and engineering studies that will be required. KCATA estimate the cost of two-mile route connecting the River Market and Crown Center to be about $100-150 million. A new revenue stream would be needed for operating costs of about $2 million annually, which could be covered by a TDD assessed on adjacent property owners (who stand to gain the most from the system).9 comments

After a failed attempt at working directly with the Parks Board, Clay Chastain is starting another light rail petition initiative. He will be gathering signatures from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday at Union Station. Laugh if you must, but Chastain is the only person who's actually doing something about light rail right now. What better way to keep the city's feet to the fire than sign the petition again?
No gondolas this time — which we feel was a pretty good idea… ever walked from Union Station to Liberty Memorial? Yeah, didn't think so — but the electric buses are back, fueled this time by wind turbines on the riverfront. And if you think that's koo-koo, check out Oklahoma City's plan again.
And even though the Missouri Court of Appeals struck down Chastain's legal challenge from the last initiative, he's still threatening to take that one to the Missouri Supreme Court.10 comments
Senate takes first step on transpo bill rewrite
Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller (WV) and Sen. Frank Lautenberg (NJ) have created a marker for the next federal transportation bill being drafted by Rep. Jim Oberstar (OR). The marker dictates that the next bill:
- Reduce national per-capita motor vehicle miles traveled on an annual basis;
- Cut national motor vehicle-related fatalities in half by 2030;
- Cut national surface transportation-generated carbon emissions by 40 percent by 2030;
- Reduce surface transportation delays per capita on an annual basis;
- Get 20 percent more critical surface-transportation assets into a state of good repair by 2030;
- Increase the total usage of public transit, intercity passenger rail and non-motorized transport on an annual basis.
What affect does this have on Kansas City's chances for light rail? Any renewed emphasis on public transit usage, reducing VMT, or cutting carbon emissions would support an increase in funding for urban rail transit, which would in turn help KC's chances. Most vehicle trips are within cities, so that's where you get the most bang for the buck (second place would probably be high speed rail in popular 100-500 mile corridors). Current funding formulas would need to change dramatically since they are now focused more on commuting trips and the cost/benefit of serving them with a particular mode.
There have been rumblings, of course, that this is not a top legislative priority this session. We remain hopeful that will not be the case.
As a reminder, KC has a completed Alternatives Analysis for the "north-south" corridor along Main Street. All it takes now is the political will to go back to voters for a new, dedicated funding mechanism or the creation of a public-private partnership (see Portland Streetcar and Detroit M1-Rail).
Oh, and did we forget to mention that Oklahoma City is putting a light rail before voters in December? Yes, Oklahoma City.1 comment
KCATA pleads case for emergency funding
The KCATA and St. Louis Metro transit systems asked a Missouri House committee yesterday for emergency funding to prevent impending service cuts.
KCATA is asking for $14 million to cover shortfalls from reduced sales tax revenues and diversion of transit funds to other uses — all in the face of increased ridership and a recently-enacted fare increase.
The article references a "Ken Kohler", but we're pretty sure that it was KCATA's Mark Huffer doing the legwork at the Capitol, according to information we received from Jeff City.
UPDATE: The article has been corrected and a commenter has confirmed that Bob Kohler was representing KCATA this week in Jefferson City. Also, the request is double the amount of this year's shortfall, so we're assuming the $14 million will cover two years of operating assistance, which is in line with most stimulus timelines.2 comments
Could the state save us from the cuts?
St. Louis beats us to the punch again. Short on operating funds? Ask the state government who sits at the bottom of the list for state support of local transit. While Missouri has a shortfall like everyone else, it's possible that money allocated from the stimulus package could free up some operating support (it would save jobs and continue getting people to jobs, after all).
City Manager Wayne Cauthen — the source of the recommendation for most of KCATA's funding cut — should contact KC's state delegation immediately to determine the feasibility of such a request.
Meanwhile, here's a confirmation from our new US DOT secretary that agencies should not expect operating support directly from the feds.
UPDATE: Response from State Senator Jolie Justus… "The KCATA just made a direct request for stimulus dollars from the state. The KCATA general manager was down here today lobbying for support. I'm hoping both cities will have their requests granted."2 comments

Why coding after a long drinking night is not a good idea
March 20th, 2008 by Aviram, Filed under: Cisco, Commentary, Culture, Funny
I'd love to hear the background story behind this one:
[CiscoWorks IPM] version 2.6 for Solaris and Windows contains a process that causes a command shell to automatically be bound to a randomly selected TCP port.
Why on earth? And why a random port?
And if you're still wondering, yes – it's a remote root shell with no authentication
Remote, unauthenticated users are able to connect to the open port and execute arbitrary commands with casuser privileges on Solaris systems and with SYSTEM privileges on Windows systems.

Waiting, fully assembled on its Mobile Launch Platform, the Ares
I-X flight development vehicle carries forward a form of flight
testing that was used in the early days of launch vehicle
Ares I-X Assembled
Consisting of a single, four segment Space Shuttle SRB plus a
fifth segment simulator, a dummy upper stage, a spacecraft mock-up
and a dummy Launch Abort System the Ares I-X is designed to
validate computer modeling and gather data on suppositional issues
such as bending moments, thrust oscillation and drift at liftoff.
Testing of this kind has its roots in early projects such as the
Titan I ICBM, Mercury Redstone and Saturn I.
Prior to the "All-Up" testing method that, was first implemented
in the Minuteman ICBM, the standard for development of launch
vehicles was the step-by-step method. In that method, every aspect
of a vehicle's lower stages had to be well understood before adding
the next stage. One of the best examples of the testing with dummy
upper stages was the Titan I, Lot A, vehicles that began flying on
February 6, 1959. The four Lot-A Titan I vehicles all had dummy
upper stages that had little resemblance to the operational upper
stages, yet valued data and handling procedures were gained by
those flights.
Lot A Titan Photo Courtesy
In the summer of 1961 that first Saturn I launch vehicle was
stacked at Launch Complex 34 and launched in late October of that
year. This "Block I" launcher carried two dummy upper stages filled
with water to simulate fuel. The first four Saturn I vehicles
differed greatly from the Block II launchers that, at the time,
were intended for manned flight. The Block I vehicles had no fins,
a different adapter skirt, no Instrument Unit and no Apollo
spacecraft or escape tower. Additionally, the Block I vehicle's
fuel and LOX tanks were approximately six feet shorter than the
Block II. Although the Block I Saturns bore little
resemblance to the planned Block II and even less resemblance to
the later Saturn IB, which actually did carry astronauts into
space, the Block I launchers and their dummy upper stages provided
valuable data and revealed equipment flaws that provided the
Apollo moon program with a solid foundation on which to build.
Perhaps the most often overlooked launcher with a dummy payload
is the MRBD, or the Mercury Redstone Booster Development flight.
This flight was the result of 11 glitches that showed up in the
final Mercury Redstone "Chimp" flight. The MRBD was inserted
into the schedule to prove out fixes that were made with the launch
vehicle prior to committing a man to its use. The flight used a
dummy Mercury capsule leftover from the Little Joe 1B flight and
dummy escape tower, yet it cleared the way for Alan Shepard's
Freedom 7 flight.
Saturn SA-1 Photo Courtesy
Currently the Ares I-X vehicle waits to have its turn at making
the first step in the step-by-step testing of the next generation
of standard United States manned launch vehicles. Having stepped
away from the desperation of the old "space race," and the accepted
risk of all-up testing, NASA now has the benefit of time and the
ability to use greater care in how the new generation of human
spaceflight boosters are developed. Although the Ares I-X may not
fully resemble the final launch vehicle in some ways, its benefits
will be great. The launch date for the Ares I-X has been set for
October 27, 2009, which is the 49th anniversary of the launching of
the first Saturn I, SA-1. As the Ares I-X prepares to launch, the
arm-chair critics claim that it will shake, drift and perhaps fold
in half and explode and they often refer to it as "The world's
largest model rocket." Thus it is interesting to note that these
same sort of comments were made 49 years ago, when SA-1 was called
"Cluster's last stand" implying that the cluster concept would
shake, drift and explode. Instead- SA-1 led mankind to the

My history with this pair of 15X80 Steiners begins in 1983, in West Germany, at Franconia Jagd, a very popular hunting store in Wurzburg. I was a newly certified American Soldat, Jaeger and was eager to get into the forests to help the Jaegermeisters with their Abschuse Plan (Rehwild [Roe] deer harvest plan). I had a cheap pair of Rod & Gun Club German Prinzes 8X50 that were okay for day glassing, but were no good in the moon/star/ lowlight conditions in which I found myself on each hunt. My Jaeger friend told me to go to Franconia Jagd and check the Steiner, Swarovski, and Zeiss binos. I went, shopped and tried each version and weighed the cost (DM was 3.5 to 1 at that time). I was not concerned about size or weight; I wanted the most light gathering and clarity I could afford. And at the time it translated to about 350USD. I was very impressed with the Steiner 15X80 Senator model and bought a pair. Now fast forward through 13 Rehbock, seven white tail deer and 20 years to Bald Mountain Colorado, on the Soldier of Fortune hunt with the crew (pictured above) of hard-boned hunters—Brown, Higgs, Kartchner, and me.
The high desert of far northwestern Colorado is where the 15 x 80s, now sold under the model name
"Military," shined. I discovered that glassing for elk was effortless with these binos. I was easily able to spot elk 4 to 5miles away, and then to travel toward them or observe their progress toward me. The light gathering ability of these binos is truly phenomeonal. In night conditions with ambient light from the moon or stars, and after conditioning my eyes for 45minutes, I was able to glass and observe movement out to a mile. In low light they are equally impressive with increased range. The challenge arises when it is time to shoot; most scopes do not have near the light-gathering capacity or (until recently) magnification. I had to adjust and often wait for light to improve so my scopes could catch the imagery the Steiners had displayed 15 to 30 minutes earlier.
You may wonder about the binos' size and weight. In my case this is a non-issue because I use a hand-carved, Osage orange (hedge apple), bergstock or German hunting stick. I select the sticks from young hedge-apple trees and cut them to about 5 ft 6 inches. The stick must have a "Y" at the top, which I use to steady the binos and to shoot from. I practice both glassing and shooting from the sticks and on the last SOF hunt, using a DPMS Panther Arms LR 300 Remington Short-Action Ultra Magnum, popped three-inch groups out to 300 yards.
Technical specs for the Military model 415 include (from the Pioneer Research website: http://www.steiner-binoculars.com/binoculars/law/415.html [6]): weight 56 oz, field-of-view 195 feet at 1,000 yards, eye relief of 13mmand over all dimensions in inches, 12L x 8.6W and 3.6H. They are waterproof, rubber armored in olive drab and very shock resistant. They eliminate the need for lugging spotting scopes and tripods along with your gear for the long-range glassing sessions. Current prices vary from the mid 900s to a list price of 2,100 USD; shop around and you will find a good price.
Bottom line, they are not cheap but they are worth the money for open country long-range spotting and hunting. Various military and police agencies rely on Steiner products; the 15 X 80 definitely has its place in the hunting field, as well as on sniper teams and along the border observing drug smugglers and illegal entrants.

Do you like this story?
In my article on Tadasana, I've explained few common instructions applicable to all the asanas.
Matsya in Sanskrit means fish. Relating to this asana, it is the posture that you are going to achieve—the Half Spinal Twist yoga pose. The body assumes the wriggling state of the fish. This asana is attributed to a renowned Yogi, Matsyendranath, and the founder of stream of Hatha yogis known as the Nath Sampradaya. (Nath tradition)
Method / Technique for Ardha Matsyendrasana
- This is a half-hip twist posture that has a telling effect on the spine, as it gets rotated around the axis. It involves double twists, the arms and the knees being the levers employed to achieve these extreme twists.
- Sit erect with legs stretched outwards. Place the heel in the perineum.
- Keep the right thigh straight and place the left foot on the ground.
- Cross the right knee and ensure that the left knee rests close to the right side of the right knee.
- Let your right arm pass over the left side of the left knee.
- Move the right arm with the left calf and hold the left toe with the right thumb, index and middle fingers.
- Move your left hand across the lower portion of the hip and hold the right thigh root.
- Take a slow turn towards the left side of the trunk. In tandem with this movement, turn around the shoulders, neck and head towards the left.
- Get the chin in line with the left shoulder and view behind to the farthest extent possible.
- Ensure that your head and spine are erect. Stay in this position for the duration of your comfort level.
- Make slow movements to revert to the position from which you began the asana.
- Adopt the same procedure for the other side.
Physical/therapeutic benefits of Half Spinal Twist
- The impacts of the movements described above are on the spinal column, particularly the lumbar vertebrae, which will become supple.
- With twisting of the spine, every movable vertebra is rotated in its socket.
- Cleanses and rejuvenates the body. The internal organs receive an intense massage, the toxins are squeezed out; digestion and blood circulation improves. Pelvic region and hips get adequate blood supply. Since the secretion of adrenaline and bile is affected beneficially, this asana is recommended for the patients of diabetes, hay fever, constipation, sinusitis; good results are achieved in menstrual disorders and urinary tract disorders. This is one such complicated asana, which needs to be practiced under the supervision of a yoga therapist, until one achieves perfection.
Spiritual benefits
- Some try to establish the emotional connectivity to this asana posture. The steps of the asana and its final achievement are compared to the disciplined count of solving the knotty issues that one faces in life. The importance of the twisting asanas is they rejuvenate an individual physically and mentally.
- Twisting asanas also symbolically mean the twists and turns that one faces in life. Many twisting asanas, including the asana under discussion, are named after the sages. The suggestive meaning is how the sages are able to tackle the pair of opposites and achieve a balanced perspective of life. They are always on the correct side of the wisdom and Ajana Chakra.
- Since the beneficially affected organs correspond to the area where Manipura Chakra influences, the net result is improvement of the vitality and health of the entire body. Twist also assists the free flow of prana through the important nadis of Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The process of kundalini awakening is strengthened and accelerated.
- Since several important parts of the body like neck, shoulders and hips participate in the execution of this asana, the patients of backache and sciatica can expect improvement in their condition. But this asana needs to be practiced with utmost caution, as a wrong twist may have painful impact on the nervous system of the body.
- Barred for pregnant t women, patients suffering from peptic ulcer and hernia.
- Four rounds of the asana are fine; more depends upon your comfort level.

Evacuation Plan
May 14, 2013 | 3 comment(s)
In an emergency, it's important to have a plan so you know what to do amid the chaos. A major part of that is an emergency evacuation plan. Understanding your family's evacuation plan can help those you love know how to get out of the house and get out of the city (if needed), even if they're on their own. Evacuation plans can be useful for many different types of disasters: hurricanes, tsunamis, and statistically more common, house fires.
House fires are one of the most common disasters people face in this country so it is important that everyone has an evacuation or fire escape plan, and practice it regularly.
Watching the Family Emergency Preparedness Plan DVD can be very helpful in designing your plan. Everyone in your family should know the plan, even the little ones, so set aside an evening when the whole family can get together to make your emergency escape plan. Follow these simple steps and you will be ready for an evacuation.
In an emergency, every second counts, so you want to be as prepared as possible. Evacuation plans can be life-saving for you and the ones you love. Disasters don't just happen to other people. They are very real and can happen to anyone at any time. Take the time to plan and prepare and you will be very grateful you did.
Make a map of your home and include the following:
- Label every exit, including doors, windows, and hallways, which may become a potential fire escape.
- In every room, label the primary exit (usually a door or hallway) and a secondary exit (usually a window) in case the primary exit is blocked by smoke or flames.
- Label every room where a family member sleeps.
- Label the main shutoff valves of the gas, electricity, and water lines.
- Establish a safe meeting place outside the home so everyone can be accounted for. Practice your emergency evacuation plan.
No evacuation plan will work unless it is practiced on a regular basis.
- Involve everyone. It is important for everyone in the family to learn how to escape. You may even want to teach your children how to escape out of windows in case the door is unavailable to exit. A good fire escape ladder is essential if your exit is through a second story window. You may want to arrange the furniture so a dresser or nightstand is under the window to make it easier to escape, especially through basement windows.
- Place your 72 hour kits strategically near an exit so they are easy to grab in a hurry. When you practice, assign certain family members to be in charge of grabbing the emergency kit.
- Practice turning off utilities (gas valves, etc.). Caution: Don't really turn off the gas. If you do the gas company will have to come out and turn it on again. A gas wrench is a useful tool for this.
- Practice other life-saving habits such as always leaving a pair of shoes, gloves and a flashlight or lightstick at each person's bedside.
- Practice with time in mind. Try running through your disaster plan at least 4 times each year and adjust your plan according to the ages of family members.
Other Things to Keep in Mind:
- Designate an out-of-town and an out-of-state contact person for your family to call in case you separate. Have emergency and contact numbers posted by a phone and have everyone memorize the phone numbers.
- Practice using your 72 hour kit supplies. Make sure you include a good first-aid kit, including Burnfree pain relieving gel.

I did not know it was fire saefty month! These are good tips and I am glad to say we do have a saefty evacuation plan if we are ever faced with a fire. Just last week in Baltimore a grandmother and 5 grandchildren burn up in a row home because they did not have working smoke detectors. It is so sad because they are so important. We change the batteries in ours every time we change the clocks for the time change.Bobbie recently posted..
Bruce A. Forster | April 6, 2014
I'm very grateful that Emergency Essentials produces articles like this! Hurricane Katrina, and the INEPTITUDE of FEMA and others really opened my eyes. As far as storing food is concerned, I'm doing something I'd like to share with all of you. I have dehydrated & Freeze dried foods: Provident Pantry, Mountain House, Wise, etc. What I'm doing is opening them and putting them in VACUUM SEAL BAGS. This accomplishes two things. First, by vacuum sealing them, it extends the time they can be stored. Secondly, it reduces the space needed, so more can be stored in a smaller area. IMAGINE a 20 Gallon plastic storage container filed with these vacuum sealed freeze dried food servings-3 MONTHS worth of food for one person that weighs just 15-20 pounds! By using this method, my three day emergency backpack now holds TEN days worth of food. Something to think about!

Passwording: checklists versus heuristics
July 30th, 2012 by David Harley, Filed under: Commentary, Encryption
The trouble with lists of 'Top Umpteen' most-used passwords like Mark Burnett's is that they don't really teach the everyday user anything. (Yes, I'm another of those sad people like Rob Slade who believe that education and reducing Security unawareness is actually worth doing.)
Since I've quoted Burnett's top 500 and one or two other sources from time to time in blogs here and there, I've noticed that those articles tend to pick up a fair amount of media attention, and after the Yahoo! debacle I noticed several journalists producing lists of their own. But they're missing the point, at least in part.
Not using (say) the top 25 over-used passwords will reduce the risk for accounts that are administered with a 'three strikes and you're blocked' approach to blocking password guessing, but where authentication is less strict, 25 may not be enough. Heck, 10,000 may not be enough. At any rate, if an end user is expected to check that they aren't using a common password, 10,000 is a pretty big checklist, and still doesn't provide real protection against a determined dictionary attack. It's the difference between static signature detection and heuristics: it might be useful to know that 'password' is a particularly bad choice because everyone uses it, but which of these approaches is more helpful?
Don't use 'a'
Don't use 'aa'
Don't use 'aaa'
Don't use 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'
Don't use 'b'
Don't use 'bb'
(2) Don't use any password consisting of a single character repeated N times
See A Torrent of Abuse for a flippant attempt at approach (2) implemented through parody.
But then, any password is only as good as the service to which it gives access: it doesn't matter if the provider is incapable of providing competent security: Lessons in website security anti-patterns by Tesco. And I have some sympathy with the view that if you can find a decent password manager it saves you a lot of thinking and reduces the temptation to re-use passwords and risk a cascade of breaches when one of your providers slips up.

text: Hi all, I am currently experiencing some issues to update often the text of an osgText::Text. I m working with osg 2.8.1. While draging the mouse i need to update the text of an osgText, so this update is called very often. So i have done a class inherating of osg::Drawable::DrawCallback, wich i attach to my osgText::Text as an update callback : And in the following code ClassC is a class inherating of osg::Geode and containing the osgText. When the mouse is draging i set a flag _needUpdate of my ClassC class to true, then text is updated in the callback if needed. * class TextDrawCallback : public virtual osg::Drawable::DrawCallback { private: osg::ref_ptr <ClassC> _myElement; public: TextDrawCallback ( ClassC * element ) : _myElement ( element ) { } virtual void drawImplementation ( osg::RenderInfo& renderInfo, const osg::Drawable * drawable ) const { // if the flag is to true if ( _myElement->getNeedUpdate() ) { std::string newValue = anything computed _myElement->getOsgText()->setText( newValue ); _myElement->setNeedUpdate( false ); // no need update anymore } drawable->drawImplementation ( renderInfo ); } };* This works well under linux but make sometimes crashes under windows XP. The crash appear in the code called by * drawable->drawImplementation ( renderInfo ); *but i cant find out the main reason. Did i something wrong with this callback ? Thanks for your attention.

TUESDAY, July 16 (HealthDay News) -- The use of electronic health records can cut the costs of outpatient care by about 3 percent, compared with traditional paper records, a new study suggests.
Outpatient care includes doctor's visits, and laboratory, pharmacy and radiology services typically ordered during those visits.
University of Michigan researchers compared the health-care costs of 179,000 patients in three Massachusetts communities where electronic health records were widely adopted and six communities where that was not the case.
On average, health-care costs in the three communities -- Brockton, Newburyport and North Adams -- where electronic health records were widely used were $5.14 less per patient per month than in those communities that still relied on paper records, the study found.
Most of the savings were in radiology. This may be because doctors ordered fewer medical imaging tests since electronic health records gave them better access to patients' medical histories, according to study leader Julia Adler-Milstein, an assistant professor in the U-M School of Information and School of Public Health.
"To me, this is good news. We found 3 percent savings and while that might not sound huge, if it could be sustained or even increased, it would be a substantial amount," she said in a university news release.
"That said, when we talk about cost savings, it does not mean that the costs went down, but that the costs did not go up as quickly in the intervention communities. This suggests that adopting electronic records helped slow the rise in health-care costs," Adler-Milstein added.
The study findings were published in the July 16 issue of the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.
Opponents of the use of taxpayer dollars to fund electronic health records contend that these systems might boost costs by making it easier to order tests and could be used to justify higher reimbursement.
"I think our findings are significant because we provide evidence to support the use of taxpayer dollars to invest in electronic health records," Adler-Milstein said. "We really have not had compelling evidence that proved that they would save money. It was assumed, but there are a lot of skeptics. This study helps clarify whether there are cost savings and what the magnitude of those are in the near-term."

Contact university relations for even more information about Founders Day and other Celebrate 150 events by calling 785.670.1154.University relations
Founders Day is when Washburn University celebrates its long and storied past. From its founding on the heels of the Civil War to the 1966 tornado to the 21st century institution it is today, Washburn University is resilient, determined, well-established and standing the test of time.
In recognition of the importance of the past and the future, we celebrate the founding of Washburn University on Feb. 6 (or a date close to Feb. 6, if it falls on a weekend).
Washburn was founded as Lincoln College, a private Congregational school, on Feb. 6, 1865. Since few young people had a high school education at that time, the founders decided to offer a three year high school curriculum in addition to the college curriculum. Classes began January 3, 1866 with 38 high school students enrolled, including one African-American. The stage was set and the first two college students enrolled in Lincoln College in the fall of 1866.
The economy right after the Civil War was not conducive to raising money, so the fledgling college struggled to keep its doors open. The Board appointed Rev. Horatio Q. Butterfield, professor, Latin and Greek, to be its field agent (fundraiser) in order to solicit money to help with expenses and to create an endowment to put the college on a more secure financial footing.
In the fall of 1868, Rev. Butterfield traveled to New England, home of many Congregational churches. Someone recommended that he visit Ichabod Washburn, of Worcester, Mass., a wealthy and philanthropic businessman who made his fortune in the wire industry. Washburn had retired by 1868 and was not in good health, but upon hearing about the college in Kansas that was educating women and African Americans, causes that he supported, he pledged $25,000. In gratitude for this pledge, the Board of Trustees voted on November 19, 1868 to change the school's name to Washburn College.
Founders Day 2014 brings special events and deals to campus.
11:30 a.m. Free cupcakes, while supplies last, main level, Memorial Union.
7 p.m., Bradbury Thompson Alumni Center
Free and open to the public
John Stauffer, a leading authority on antislavery, social protest movements and interracial friendship, will present "Giants: The Parallel Lives of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass."
Stauffer is a professor of English, American literature and African American studies and the chairman of the History of American Civilization program at Harvard University. He has authored eight books including "The Black Hearts of Men: Radical Abolitionists and the Transformation of Race" and "Giants: The Parallel Lives of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln," which both won numerous awards. His essays have appeared in Time, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the New Republic, Raritan and the New York Sun. Stauffer has appeared on national radio and television shows and has lectured widely throughout the United States and Europe.
Stauffer received a doctorate from Yale University in 1999 and won the Ralph Henry Gabriel Prize for the best dissertation in American studies. He began teaching at Harvard the same year and leads courses on protest literature, southern literature, Douglass and Melville, the Civil War, autobiography, the nineteenth-century novel and historical fiction. He was raised in Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota and now resides in Cambridge, Mass., with his wife, Deborah Cunningham, and their sons Erik and Nicholas.

There are plenty of people taking the easy road on this Bigfoot thing. Hoax, rubber foot, blah blah blah. Well, don't believe them.
Oh ye of little faith--why not see the truth that stares you in the face, all beady-eyed?
Maybe, just maybe, the true nature of the Bigfoot has eluded all you middle-aged Bigfoot hunter dudes with your goatees and camouflage. I maintain--and call me crazy if you must, but remember they called Edison crazy, and Rasputin, and several actual crazy people, but I shouldn't have brought them up--that Bigfoot may in actual fact be made of "rubber" and "artificial hair."
Maybe this is a Bigfoot in the freezer. Maybe Bigfeet are impossible to find because when we do find them, we think they're fake. And that's why we never find them. They're real fakes, not fake reals. I, for one, believe.

Great for the price
Classic Allure Pocket Invitations My fiancee and I were very happy with the custom creation so our invites were different from any other customers. However we were not to happy about the delivery because we paid for writing on the back of the envelopes and it had none i was very upset because i had to go to a craft store and pay 20 extra bucks for stamps and ink pad. it was a good buy for the money to make it unique but please check the work so your customers get everything they ordered. i wouldnt have been upset if i had more time to send my wedding invites
