- If you do decide to travel to Haiti, you should exercise extreme caution.
- The security situation in Haiti remains unpredictable.
- You should avoid all demonstrations and protests as they may turn violent. We recommend you monitor the local media for new safety and security threats.
- Foreign aid workers have been the target of kidnapping, and other violent crimes. You should take precautions to ensure your personal security, particularly at night.
- There is an ongoing cholera outbreak in Haiti which has been active since 2010. The outbreak is especially severe in the department of Sud Est, while Port-au-Prince and other areas of Haiti are also affected. Thousands of people have died and hundreds of thousands more have been infected. See the Health section for more information.
- We strongly advise Australians who are considering going to Haiti to undertake volunteer work to ensure they have made appropriate arrangements for placement prior to arrival in Haiti. Finding a placement with a charity in Haiti on arrival is usually not possible.
- In January 2010, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake occurred 22 kilometres west of the capital Port-au-Prince, causing many thousands of casualties, and widespread damage to critical infrastructure, including health services, roads, telecommunications and other utilities.
- Hurricane season is June to November when landslides, mudslides, flooding and disruptions to essential services may occur. In the event of a hurricane, monitor local media reports and follow the instructions of local emergency officials.
- Given the unpredictable security situation, we strongly recommend that you register your travel and contact details with us, so we can contact you in an emergency. Be a smart traveller. Before heading overseas:
- organise comprehensive travel insurance and check what circumstances and activities are not covered by your policy
- subscribe to this travel advice to receive free email updates each time it's reissued.
Entry and exit
Visa and other entry and exit conditions (such as currency, customs and quarantine regulations) change regularly. Contact the nearest Embassy or Consulate of Haiti for the most up-to-date information.
We strongly advise Australians who are considering going to Haiti to undertake volunteer work to ensure they have made appropriate arrangements for placement prior to arrival in Haiti. Finding a placement with a charity in Haiti on arrival is usually not possible.
If you are travelling to Haiti through the United States of America, or if you are transiting Honolulu or another US point of entry, you are required to meet US entry/transit requirements. Make sure you check your visa requirements with the nearest US Embassy or Consulate well in advance of your travel. You should also read our travel advice for the United States of America.
Local immigration authorities may request evidence of a valid yellow fever vaccination if you are travelling to Haiti from a yellow fever endemic country. The World Health Organisation (WHO) website contains a list of yellow fever endemic countries.
Make sure your passport has at least six months' validity from your planned date of return to Australia. You should carry copies of a recent passport photo with you in case you need a replacement passport while overseas.
Safety and security
Terrorism is a threat throughout the world. See our Terrorist Threat Overseas bulletin for more information on terrorism and our General advice to Australian travellers for tips on staying safe overseas.
Civil unrest/Political tension
We advise you to reconsider your need to travel to Haiti at this time because of the unpredictable security situation and high levels of violent crime.
The political situation in Haiti remains unpredictable with the risk of violence and social unrest. Local authorities, including the police, often have limited capacity to control developing situations or provide assistance.
You should avoid demonstrations and large public gatherings as they may turn violent. Foreigners caught up in demonstrations have been attacked. We recommend you monitor the local media for new safety and security threats.
The level of crime in Haiti is very high and the police have little ability to enforce laws. Local authorities often have limited capacity to provide assistance, even if you are a victim of a serious crime.
There is a high incidence of violent crime, including murder, kidnapping, armed robbery, assault and carjacking. The risk increases at night and in isolated areas. You should avoid travel after dark. The road leading to the Port-au-Prince airport is vulnerable to carjacking. When driving, you should ensure that windows are up, doors locked and valuables are out of sight.
Due to the high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, victims of violent crime, especially rape, are strongly encouraged to seek immediate medical assistance.
There is a high risk of robbery and assault when using public transport, including taxis.
Foreigners taking photographs are often regarded with suspicion and have been assaulted, particularly in remote areas.
Money and valuables
Before you go, organise a variety of ways to access your money overseas, such as credit cards, travellers' cheques, cash, debit cards or cash cards. Australian currency and travellers' cheques are not accepted in many countries. Consult with your bank to find out which is the most appropriate currency to carry and how to access your funds in Haiti.
Make two photocopies of valuable documents such as your passport, tickets, visas and travellers' cheques. Keep one copy with you in a separate place to the original and leave another copy with someone at home.
While travelling, don't carry too much cash and remember that expensive watches, jewellery and cameras may be tempting targets for thieves.
As a sensible precaution against luggage tampering, including theft, lock your luggage. Information on luggage safety is available from Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
Your passport is a valuable document that is attractive to criminals who may try to use your identity to commit crimes. It should always be kept in a safe place. You are required by Australian law to report a lost or stolen passport. If your passport is lost or stolen overseas, report it online or contact the nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate as soon as possible.
You should be careful to avoid the loss or theft of your passport. Travellers are likely to experience significant delays and expense arranging replacement travel documents in Haiti where there is no resident Australian mission.
You are required to pay an additional fee to have a lost or stolen passport replaced. In some cases, the Government may also restrict the length of validity or type of replacement passports.
Local travel
Travel by road is dangerous due to aggressive driving practices and poorly maintained vehicles and roads. Traffic laws and speed signage are routinely ignored. You should avoid travel by public transport, or driving late in the evening as many main roads have significant damage and detours may transit narrow secondary routes through dangerous neighbourhoods. For further advice, see our road travel page.
Airline safety
Please refer to our air travel page for information on aviation safety and security.
When you are in Haiti, be aware that local laws and penalties, including ones that appear harsh by Australian standards, do apply to you. If you are arrested or jailed, the Australian Government will do what it can to help you but we can't get you out of trouble or out of jail.
Information on what Australian consular officers can and cannot do to help Australians in trouble overseas is available from the Consular Services Charter.
Penalties for drug offences are severe and may lead to imprisonment and fines.
Some Australian criminal laws, such as those relating to money laundering, bribery of foreign public officials, terrorism, forced marriage, female genital mutilation, child pornography, and child sex tourism, apply to Australians overseas. Australians who commit these offences while overseas may be prosecuted in Australia.
Australian authorities are committed to combating sexual exploitation of children by Australians overseas. Australians may be prosecuted at home under Australian child sex tourism and child pornography laws. These laws provide severe penalties of up to 25 years' imprisonment for Australians who engage in child sexual exploitation while outside of Australia.
We strongly recommend that you take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover any overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation, before you depart. Confirm that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away and check what circumstances and activities are not included in your policy. Remember, regardless of how healthy and fit you are, if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. The Australian Government will not pay for a traveller's medical expenses overseas or medical evacuation costs.
It is important to consider your physical and mental health before travelling overseas. We encourage you to consider having vaccinations before you travel. At least eight weeks before you depart, make an appointment with your doctor or travel clinic for a basic health check-up, and to discuss your travel plans and any implications for your health, particularly if you have an existing medical condition. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides information for travellers and our Health page also provides useful information for travellers on staying healthy.
There is an ongoing cholera outbreak which has been active in Haiti since 2010. The World Health Organization's (WHO) latest report indicates that the outbreak is especially severe in the department of Sud Est, while Port-au-Prince and other areas of Haiti are also affected. Thousands of people have died and hundreds of thousands more have been infected. Cholera causes diarrhoea and vomiting and can be fatal if left untreated. Correct food hygiene and preparation are essential to minimise the risk of contracting cholera. We advise you to drink only bottled or boiled water, and avoid ice cubes and raw or undercooked food. Seek immediate medical advice if you suffer from diarrhoea.
The earthquake on 12 January 2010 caused severe damage to local hospitals and placed considerable strain on the provision of healthcare. There are shortages of medicine and other medical resources. There is inadequate public sanitation posing a risk of disease outbreaks.
Medical facilities in Haiti are scarce and well below western standards. Private medical care is very expensive. Doctors and hospitals will require up-front cash payment before commencing treatment. In the event of a serious illness or accident, medical evacuation (usually to Miami) would be required, costing in excess of $A25,000.
The rate of HIV/AIDS infection in Haiti is high. You should exercise appropriate precautions if engaging in activities that expose you to risk of infection. You can find out more information at the World Health Organization website.
Mosquito-borne illnesses, including malaria, dengue fever, chikungunya virus and filariasis, are common in Haiti, particularly during the rainy season (June to December). We encourage you to consider taking prophylaxis against malaria and to take measures to avoid insect bites including using insect repellent at all times, wearing long, loose-fitting, light coloured clothing and ensuring your accommodation is mosquito proof. Seek medical advice if you have a fever, muscle pain, rash or severe headaches as they are symptoms of both dengue fever and Chikungunya virus.
Water-borne, food-borne, parasitic and other infectious diseases (including hepatitis, typhoid, rabies and leptospirosis) are prevalent with more serious outbreaks occurring from time to time. Seek medical advice if you have a fever or are suffering from diarrhoea.
Where to get help
Australia does not have an Embassy or Consulate in Haiti. You can obtain consular assistance from the nearest Australian High Commission which is in Trinidad and Tobago:
Australian High Commission, Port of Spain
18 Herbert Street, St Clair
Port of Spain
Telephone: (1 868) 822 5450
Facsimile: (1 868) 822 5490
Website: http://www.trinidadandtobago.highcommission.gov.au/
Email: email@example.com
Following the January 2010 earthquake, there has been widespread damage to telecommunications. Australians in need of consular assistance should contact the Australian High Commission in Trinidad and Tobago. If disruption to communication links prevents you from doing so, you should direct your enquiry through the Canadian Embassy in Port-au-Prince, between numbers 75 and 71 Delmas Road, telephone: (509) 2 249 9000.
If you are travelling to Haiti, whatever the reason and however long you'll be there, we strongly recommend that you register with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. You can register online or in person at any Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate. The information you provide will help us to contact you in an emergency - whether it is a natural disaster, civil disturbance or a family issue.
In a consular emergency, if you are unable to contact the High Commission you can contact the 24-hour Consular Emergency Centre on +61 2 6261 3305 or 1300 555 135 within Australia.
In Australia, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Canberra may be contacted on (02) 6261 3305.
Additional information
Natural disasters, severe weather and climate
Haiti is in an active earthquake zone and is subject to hurricanes. Emergency services in Haiti are ill equipped to cope with a major disaster. You should be prepared to evacuate at short notice in the event of a natural disaster and ensure your travel documentation remains up-to-date.
Earthquakes: On 12 January 2010, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake occurred 22 kilometres west of the capital Port-au-Prince, causing many thousands of casualties. There remains damage to critical infrastructure, including health services, roads, telecommunications and other utilities. The earthquake damaged public sanitation infrastructure and increased the risk of disease outbreaks.
For more information on earthquakes, see our Earthquakes travel bulletin.
All oceanic regions of the world can experience tsunamis, including the Caribbean. See the Tsunami Awareness brochure for more information on tsunamis.
Hurricanes: Hurricane season is June to November when landslides, mudslides, flooding and disruptions to essential services may occur. Monitor local media reports and follow the instructions of local emergency officials.
If you are travelling to Haiti during hurricane season, you should contact your tour operator to check whether services at your planned destination have been affected.
The direction and strength of hurricanes can change with little warning. You can check the latest hurricane information at the National Hurricane Center website.
In the event of an approaching hurricane, you should identify your local shelter. Flights in and out of affected areas could be delayed or suspended. Available flights may fill quickly. You should contact your airline for the latest flight information. The hurricane could also affect access to sea ports in the region. In some areas, adequate shelter from a severe hurricane may not be available to all who may choose to stay. You should familiarise yourself with your hotel or cruise ship evacuation plans. You should carry your travel documents at all times (i.e. passport, photo identification etc.) or secure them in a safe, waterproof location.
We also suggest that you contact friends and family in Australia with updates about your welfare and whereabouts. For further information, see our Severe weather page.
Information on natural disasters can be obtained from the Humanitarian Early Warning Service. If a natural disaster occurs, follow the advice of local authorities.

Starting with the top of the packaging, you see that there is the cooler naming on the left in the white area, and off to the right is a sticker denoting the award winning nature of this design, and above an image of the fan and cooler, you get a list of features.
Looking now at the front of the packaging you can see it repeats the top, sans the sticker. They do cover the awards, LGA2011 compatibility, RAM compatibility for LGA2011, the size, included fan, LNA adapter, the compatibility in general, included TIM and six year warranty are all covered.
This panel shows us specifications charts for both the tower and the fan used to cool it. You also get a box showing the inclusions with this cooler along with a pair of dimensional renderings of the cooler with the fan installed.
Noctua tells their customers in eight varying languages about what inspired this cooler and what should make it a success in your system.
Spinning the box once more we end up on a panel with eight features listed with an image and descriptions of what they are and how they benefit this coolers design.
Just like its little brother, when you pop the top on the NH-U14S, the hardware greats you immediately in these three boxes.
Packed under the hardware, you will find both the NF-A15 PWM fan and the NH-U14S cooler body surrounded in cardboard. There are shims of cardboard used to make this body fit in here very snugly, and unlike the NH-U12S where some of the fins had gotten bent, the NH-U14S arrived in much better shape.

The Gastronomic Meal of the French: A Great Tradition
A meal is not just about eating. This could be a French motto. Indeed, 95.2% of French people think a gastronomic meal is part of their identity and their cultural background. In 2010, The Gastronomic Meal of The French was listed as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO (nomination form). According to UNESCO, the gastronomic meal plays an active social role and is transmitted from generation to generation.
- Source: Flickr marie_astier
Today, 98.7% of French people believe the gastronomic meal has to be saved and passed to future generations. It is considered a ritual which helps celebrate the important moments of life. Beyond the food, what really matters in a meal is the social practice around it: the conviviality, the pleasure of taste, the sharing, the association of wine and food... As a festive moment with friends and family, the French Gastronomic meal is more than anywhere else a social time at fixed hours. At 12:30 pm, more than 54% of French people are sitting at a table eating. In comparison, in Great-Britain, the equivalent is 1:10 pm and only 17% of the population is seated at a table eating. In France at least one meal a day is spent with family. The French gastronomic meal is also characterized by the time spent at the table, the order of the courses (aperitif, starter, fish or meat with vegetable, cheese, dessert and digestive), and the pleasure of setting a beautiful table and of course the cooking of home-made food.

The preservation of this meal and its values is one of the goals of a broader French food policy (PNA, Programme National pour l'Alimentation). Throughout this program, different ministries organize concrete actions to promote products, skills and gastronomic tourism and to teach schoolchildren about all these values. It therefore seemed logical to apply for this recognition of Intangible Cultural Heritage, even though it was the first time that UNESCO so recognized a food habit.

We use top quality products and work with an extensive group of subcontractors. Littlefield Builders Inc. would be proud to build your next project big or small. We take pride in our jobs and do fine craftsmanship in all of our projects. Please check out our portfolio below.
Our family has been enjoying Kezar Lake for over 50 years. Deciding to build a new cottage in 1997 to replace the old one, we naturally looked for the best builder in the area and contracted Azel Littlefield, who, at that time, had a crew of four or five men. From the day he started until the house was completed, there was always someone on the job. We spent our summer in the old cottage, which was within 50 feet of the construction site, always being able to observe their progress. We were amazed at how meticulous they were in all aspects of the building, whether it was framing up the house or applying the finishing touches. Everything is square, plumb, and level throughout, and not a squeak in any of the floors. We can attest to their honesty, integrity, and superior workmanship. Whenever we have any future building projects, we will definitely contact Littlefield Builders and hope that they can accommodate us again. - John and Audrey Statesir

Actually, he said his girlfriend was a very different PLAYER.
I took him to be talking specifically about his way of interacting with people in game, not about his general pattern of interaction.
Agree that finding a female friend isn't the right approach.
Maybe I am an antisocial 40-year old, but I don't hang out with workmates outside of work, and I agree with those who said that guys my age aren't going to drive 12 hours to see most friends just because.
Perhaps I am just more like the original letter writer generally. I like my guild and am happy with it, but I genuinely see the other folks in the guild as in-game friends, like nice colleagues. It wouldn't occur to me to interact with them out of game.

I'd like to see coverage of the achievements for some of the newer battlegrounds. If you click on the strand of the ancients link over to the right, you get some strats and suggestions for how to complete the achievements. if you click isle of conquest, you get a brief description of the layout of the BG, and nothing about achieves. So, perhaps some suggestions for the newer BGs. (Tol Barad optional, I'd imagine, as it's not as complicated as most of the others).
The Cataclysm: A critical examination {WoW}
Oct 29th 2011 10:27AM For me, it's the trolls dungeons. Not a hardcore raider at all (part of a casual guild that may or may not get a new boss down once every couple of weeks, so haven't even set foot in firelands).
In any case, on a day to day basis, my usual activity would be a lot of heroics.
But ZA/ZG has kind of killed that for me. There are some challenging mechanics, sure, but nothing too super difficult. HOWEVER, they are really long. Now that I know all the fights, it's just a matter of taking the time to go through them all.
And if one has a newer healer or tank (or two new dps) in the group, there are fights that the group just won't get done. So you figure out at some point that that's the group you're in, and now you are left with the choice of staying with the group, in the ZG/ZA that will take even longer than it usually does, only to absolutely not be able to complete the final and thus not get any VP (the only reason you're even in there), or else you can drop group, be THAT guy and not do your part to help the newbie learn the fight.

My own question: Given that the overachiever column doesn't seem to be updated, is there anything new about the pumpkin head thing? Do I really have to do the putting out fires daily twelve times to get the achieve or is there a different way of getting pumpkin heads? Wowhead says it drops from the headless horseman, but I didn't see that happen when I killed him.

Breakfast Topic: How do you deal with self-entitled puggers? {WoW}
Aug 9th 2011 8:41AM I have actually been pretty lucky with Troll PUGS. The ratio of jerks to decent people is about 8 to 1, means there's about one jerk every other PUG. But you know what they say about a rotten apple.
I try to be patient if people aren't geared or whatnot. It's a pug, and I assume everyone else is likewise working on getting geared up and not just grinding.
I don't even mind "hey, why are you using that enchant?" or "on that fight you should have killled the kitties first" or otherwise useful advice, given in helpful spirit or not.
It's the micromanagers that get me. "OMG, your frost mage.erryone knows its pvp spec!!!" "Why don't you have [insert name of weapon that drops in dungeon we are in? Evvyone knows a bear has to have [same weapon] if they're gunna tank in here."
Time is at a premium and I can do a troll run a day most days, so i REALLY try to suck it up when there's a jerk. I don't have time to queue for another half hour or whatever.
But if someone meets the jerk trifecta (mean/critical, inconsiderate, AND bad at their role), they get a kick.

From the President: Curricular Actions
I have approved the following curricular items, which have been recommended by the appropriate dean, the College Senate, and the provost:
College Telephone Use Policy
This policy describes the assignment, use, and management of desk and cellular telephones by employees of Buffalo State College.
University Policy on Fees, Charges, and Deposits
University policy prohibits the assessment of general science fees, laboratory fees, and fees for course materials, i.e., texts and/or supplies. These fees are prohibited, as university tuition guarantees students access to the facilities and supplies considered necessary for their courses. However, campuses may establish deposits in science courses requiring laboratory work as collateral against which replacement costs for damage may be assessed.
College Senate: New Online Forum Launched
Express your thoughts, questions, and views concerning College Senate meetings and agendas through our new online forum. Registration is quick and easy.

Google Maps Update
A couple months ago, I asked for volunteers to help me improve the bike map data on Google Maps. In addition to the visual data that this provides (i.e., lines on a map), Google uses this data for creating bike directions. I got about a dozen people to help and wanted to share some of the results in some very telling before & after screenshots.
You can see that it's looking much better! There's still a few streets to fill out, but I don't know what all is missing, so if you want to fill in the data, I have some typed instructions and a video on youtube that shows how to do it (it's pretty easy).

Here's an on-field photo of the FieldTurf instillation that was going on Tuesday at Southside Ballpark. The Dickinson High baseball team will be able to play on this in the next couple weeks.
Love it or hate it, the turf has a purpose. First, games can be played on this rain or shine. Second, with no dirt to maintain in the infield, that cuts down the time between doubleheader or tournament games.
The downside is that the entire thing is turf, including the batter's box and the pitcher's mound. That could eventually give Dickinson teams a big homefield advantage. But, as Press sports reporter Royal McGregor will point out Thursday in his season preview on the Midgets, the players know that they may struggle to adjust to the change right away.
What do you think of the new turf? Comment here or on our Facebook page.

'Philomena' Trailer: Steve Coogan and Judi Dench Strike Up a Friendship
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on August 9, 2013 | Be the First To CommentIt takes a bold, thoughtless person to mess with Dame Judi Dench. Dench stars in the first trailer for Stephen Frears' Philomena as the titular Philomena Lee, a woman who was sent away to a convent as a young girl and forced to give up her son. Nearly fifty years later, she enlists the help of a former journalist to help track him down in America.
Steve Coogan steps in to play the journalist, Martin Sixsmith, who is using the opportunity to write a human-interest story about Philomena and her reunion with her son. Though we know Coogan as a gifted comedian, he's proved several times that he can hold his own in dramatic turns (The Look of Love, Our Idiot Brother); and from the trailer, the unlikely friendship blossoming between Philomena and his character looks to be one of the strongest parts of the film. Coogan also co-wrote the screenplay, which is based on the book written by the real-life Sixsmith.
The trailer devotes equal time to Philomena and Martin's stories, which makes sense when you know that the film is based on an account that Sixsmith wrote, but the real meat of the story is in what happened to Philomena and her son, and not the journalist who's telling her tale. Any good reporter should know that. Check out the trailer after the break.
Overall though, this looks like a heartwarming film about a sweet older lady trying to meet the son she never wanted to lose in the first place, and bonds she creates with the man trying to help her.
There is no U.S. release date for Philomena at this time.

Etta James is best known for her classic song ''At Last.''
Beyoncé Knowles, who plays singer Etta James in Cadillac Records, spends some time with the genuine article Monday at the film's Los Angeles premiere.
Knowles, who served as executive producer, got a bit of a history lesson while working on the film: "They were the first African Americans to cross over on the radio before Motown, and it's something that I didn't know. I didn't know that rock 'n' roll came from Chess Records. And I didn't know that the Rolling Stones and The Beatles and all these people copied their music. And it's great for them to finally get their due."

I thought it might be helpful to post up exterior siding/brick/etc for people who are making that LARGE decision.
We had to go with vinyl siding so we got Certainteed's Carolina Beaded in Heritage Cream. We chose a dark roof-- Sablewood which I believe is Elk, sorry I forget-- door is a Simpson stained Minwax Provincial, trim is white, and the brick is Glen Gary Kensington. Anybody else? |

Sure, I'll do it since I have nothing better to do right now since house is finishing up way later than expected.(slight vent) Brick is Olde Delaware by Snyder Brick Company. Stone is Austin Cut stone in a Light mix (random pattern). Shakes are James Hardie- Don't know the pattern name. Shingles are Owens Corning 30 year Driftwood is the color I believe. Retaining walls are from Home Depot. Like Demeron asked, anyone else!! |

Boy, do we ever have some fantastic news for the AOSP ROM-loving crowd: CyanogenMod nightlies are finally back, meaning the first official CM7 builds are rolling out as I type this. Sure, they're probably moderately buggy (although generally, CM nightlies are still pretty good), and yeah, they may be missing some features - but let's be frank: it'll still probably be one of the most solid Gingerbread builds around, regardless of what device you're using.
Following on from their press release on Wednesday, Sony Ericsson invited the media this morning to a designated conference room at the Hard Rock Hotel for some play time with their newest Android device. We spent over an hour with the handset to get an idea of what to expect when it hits the market.
The reps there acknowledged the difficulties they had experienced with their previous Android handsets, and showed what appeared to be decisive commitment to putting those hold-ups behind them.
Just days after Kaz Hirai teased the world with talk of Sony's future in smartphones, tablets, and the PlayStation brand (all without confirming or denying the existence of a PlayStation phone), Chinese site IT168 has posted an in-depth review of the engineering version that they managed to get ahold of. Not only is the PSP Phone very real; from the looks of it, the device is almost ready for prime time.
It's been a very confusing ride trying to figure out the official version number of Honeycomb, what exactly Honeycomb will be, and what devices will get it. Thanks to CES 2011, though, we're finally getting some answers.
At first, we all assumed that Honeycomb would be Android 3.0. Then we saw some evidence suggesting the existence of a Android 2.4. After that, we got the official, final word on the matter: it's 3.0.
As per usual, Google has updated their Android Platform Version Chart, which gives us a clear indication of how many devices are running each version of Android, based on Market usage. The results won't shock anybody, but they do say good things about the current state of fragmentation in Android. Froyo continues it dominance, taking over half of the chart, while Android 2.1 still remains strong with 35%, likely due in large part to the massive number of Galaxy S phones still running it.
Sony Ericsson has always had upgrade issues when it came to Android - with the X10, the X10 Mini, and the X10 Mini Pro just recently receiving the update to Éclair (2.1), the majority of Xperia users have been deprived of the numerous features available in Android 2.x. Recently, with leaks of the Playstation Phone (a.k.a. Xperia Play) and the Anzu (a.k.a. X12), it has been made clear that Sony is most likely coming with back with a storm of devices with up-to-date firmware and its usual competitive hardware.
A few days after releasing the Android 2.3 SDK, Google officially pushed Gingerbread to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). Shortly thereafter, developers (such as the CyanogenMod crew) immediately started working on their custom ROMs based on the AOSP code (e.g. CyanogenMod 7).
It has only been a few days since CyanogenMod released version 6.1.1, their most recent stable update, so it's still likely to be a few weeks before a stable release of CM 7 is available.
The Nexus S may have just been released, and it may be running the latest version of Android - but Samsung and Google aren't holding back on software updates. Instead, the two have teamed up to release the first OTA update for the device, which contains "important bug fixes" as well as the latest version of Google Maps. Don't feel like waiting for the update to hit your device? The file is already available to download from Google's servers, so after this, you can simply flash it as you would any other ZIP file:
As exciting as seeing the Gingerbread keyboard leak out was, the fact remained that users stuck on Android 2.1 or below couldn't join in on the fun, and the same went for users of non-rooted devices.
Fortunately, the Android community rests not, and the keyboard has been neatly packaged into an APK and posted for all to see. Thanks to XDA-Developers member hotaru, both Éclair-running and non-rooted handsets can now access Google's latest input method.
Prepare your party gear and break out the keg, people: Google is officially starting the push of Gingerbread to AOSP (Android Open Source Project) as we speak. Jean-Baptiste Queru just announced that fact, saying he was going to begin pushing the code to the AOSP, and the process is expected to take a few hours.
What does that mean for you? ROMs built on AOSP code (such as CyanogenMod) will now have access to Gingerbread, so expect CyanogenMod for Gingerbread (CM7?) to start cooking shortly.

Say goodbye to those sticky, lanolizing treatments in your sink! A spritz or two of GroVia Lanolin Spray on your wool covers is all youll need to condition and lanolize. Made with a special blend of lanolin and wonderful organic emollients and moisturizers. We do not use alcohol to dilute or use emulsifiers or any chemical dispersant in our spray.
Why Wool?
Wool is an excellent choice for baby clothing and cloth diapering because of its breathability. Wool will initially resist moisture and forces the diaper underneath to soak up as much as possible. A good, absorbent diaper underneath is a MUST. Once the diaper has reached it's maximum absorbency, the wool will then begin to absorb. Wool can soak up to 30% of it's own weight in moisture!! Keep your wool lanolized to use as a cover.

My husband Larry and I picked up a book called What Works What Doesn't by Reader's Digest. It is filled with advice from over 44 different doctors, professors and researchers. Within the book it talks about every topic of health from questions regarding: garlic, sleeping, tattoos, manicures, soda, and etc. Needless to say this book has become a favorite of mine.
One subject that caught my eye was the tanning salon section. Mainly because it's summer, I am pale, and I like to share my reasoning behind me not ever going into a tanning booth. Another reason is that so many people go to tanning booths/salons because they are going on a summer trip and have this idea that it is better to visit the tanning booth beforehand because they "don't want to burn" on their vacation. I would like to put that way of thinking to rest.
The question asked is,
"Is it safe to occasionally use tanning salons?"
The book follows with these explanations:
"No, they ravage your skin with ultraviolet radiation in far higher doses than you'd get during the same time in the sun. If wrinkles don't scare you, skin cancer should.
The lure of tanning salons is unmistakable: Enter one, and after 20 minutes or so, you can emerge with a tan that may have taken you several hours on the beach to achieve. But there's a serious health tradeoff. You tan fast in a salon because the tanning bed bombards your skin with a far more powerful dose of ultraviolet radiation than you'd get from natural sunlight in the same time period. This can cause cellular damage, premature aging, and skin cancer-not to mention a scaly sunburn if you stay in too long or temporary blindness because you neglected to wear eye shields.
Studies have even found that some people become addicted to using tanning beds, continuing to use them several times a week as they watch their skin suffer irreparable damage. The dangers are clear. A study conducted at Dartmouth University Medical School found that adults who had ever used tanning beds were 1.5 to 2.5 times more likely to develop basal or squamous cell carcinomas, respectively, which are the most common skin cancers. Another study of 100,000 women in Norway and Sweden found that those who used tanning beds twice a month were 55 percent more likely to develop melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.
Bottom line: Just like cigarettes, all tanning beds should carry a large-print warning that reads, "The US National Health Institutes of Health has determined that exposure to sunbeds and sunlamps is known to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in humans, which indicates a casual relationship between exposure to sunbeds and sunlamps and cancer." "
The article was followed with another significant question.
"But isn't using a tanning bed a good way to boost vitamin D levels?"
The answer is no.
"It is known that people can receive their daily vitamin D intake from just 10-15 minutes of being outside without sunscreen, even just through their face and hands."

I cannot tell you how many emails and facebook questions I received last month. It was astounding. Everyone wanted to know what happened to spring. It was abnormally cold as we all know. It was not just Georgia, as much of the eastern two-thirds of the country saw below average temperatures. After doing a considerable amount of research, I found it was the second coldest spring on record, after 1975!
The unseasonably chilly air did have a silver lining. We had far fewer tornadoes across the country than average. I know there was the big outbreak with 16 reported tornadoes near Dallas, Texas on May 16th, however the overall numbers were way down compared to seasonal averages. One reason for the lower tornado numbers was the unseasonably cool air that covered much of the country. Tornado outbreaks are the result of "weather wars" between cold air and warm air. There was no "battle zone" and no clash of air masses taking place. That of course, was certainly good news for us and for those that live in the heart of the nation's tornado alley.
Summer officially begins this month on June the 21st. The Summer Solstice will be at 1:04 a.m. The question of the day now is, will we have an unusually hot summer after the cooler than average spring. The Climate Prediction Center certainly thinks so. It has predicted 85 percent of the country, everyone except the west coast, to have above average temperatures. I know the lake is up at full pool with the abundance of rainfall we have seen this year. The rainfall prediction gives us even odds of above or below average rainfall. That being said, the lake is full, soil moisture is good, and the underground aquifers are all in great shape to withstand a hot summer. Honestly, I cannot remember reporting anything like that in about 15 years!
While summer officially begins this month, hurricane season also begins. Predictions are all over the board. This is what is called a "neutral" year. We have no El Nino and no La Nina. When we have an El Nino year, we see strong winds from west to east across the Atlantic Ocean. This inhibits hurricane development because the strong high altitude winds tend to shear the storms apart before they have a chance to grow. La Nina years increases hurricane formation. However, we have neither and that is why the predictions range from above or below average numbers of tropical systems. The breeding ground for any tropical storm formation this month is down in the Gulf of Mexico. In July the favored breeding ground shifts to the Caribbean. During August and September, the "big ones" form off the west coast of Africa and "feed" on the warm ocean waters for days or even weeks, as they get stronger. My bet is for a typical hurricane season. That would mean 11 tropical storms, six of which will become hu

Help help! What is perinephric straining???
0May 7, '02 by NurseDennieHi guys -
This is so lame, I know it. I apologize in advance.
I went to see my doc today for back/flank pain and hematuria. I had about a week of back/flank pain, and finally did a dip-stick UA -- you don't have to drop a house on me.... Small amount of blood (none visible). Called up doc, and got Cipro for 5 days.
Pain carried on pretty much unchanged for about another week, and then I've had a week pain-free. Pain came back yesterday afternoon, and I did another dipstick UA and this time I had moderate blood and protein. Also some ketones, but the sp.gr was also high, so obviously some dehydration going on.
So. Pain's worse, dipstick is worse, so I call the doc and say I need to be seen. Okay. Doc sends me off to the lab for SGPT, SGOT, lactic acid.....I don't remember what-all else. Then I went off to radiology for a spiral CT, to rule out renal calculi.
I got home and the lab calls my home number, asking for my DOC!! Apparently the people who collected the blood entered my phone number instead of his. So I'm immediately all paranoid, of course. There must be some panic value, right?
So, carrying on being paranoid (and uncomfortable as he!!, I might add), I called the radiology line and listen to my CT reading. They didn't find any renal calculi, but I've got cholilithiasis!! Several stones > 1 cm. Great.
But there was a line that I just didn't understand, the radiologist said that perinephric straining was noted bilaterally.
What the heck is that???? Is it just evidence of straining at stool or something tha is manifested in the perinephric area???
I'll call doc in the morning, but I'm just a patient, I'm sure I'll wait hours and hours for a callback.
If anybody can give me a clue, I'd appreciate it. Very much.
Dennie -
0May 8, '02 by NurseDennieThanks aus nurse. That was all I could get from it. Straining..... So of course, in my fevered imaginings, I've torn my kidneys out from having constipation. Sheeeeesh
You know, if it's not one thing, it's several dozen others.

0May 8, '02 by live4todayMY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU NURSE DENNIE. I SURE HOPE THE DOCS ARE ABLE TO RETURN YOU TO OPTIMAL WELLNESS SOON. (((HUGS)))
0May 8, '02 by NurseDennieThanks guys!
I got that info from listening to the radiology report. Another doc suggested that what she (radiologist) meant was perinephric STRANDING. And *that* I could find - it's a secondary sign of ureteral obstruction.
So I guess it's kind of a mixed report, huh? They didn't *see* any stones, and the spiral CT is the modality of choice, and has 95% specificity and 95% sensitivity. I guess maybe it's possible that I already maybe passed a stone and I just have residual pain???
The proteinuria from yesterday scared me, so I just went and did another dipstick UA. Blood is in the "large" region and no protein. I guess I'm relieved? I don't know.
I am diabetic, so of course, the possibility of kidney failure is something I think about (especially when I had protein in the urine!) I held my metformin last night and this morning, so if I do end up having to have an IVP, at least I'm ready for it.
So what do you think? Should I:
1) Sit tight and wait for the doc to call me back. He said he was going to be sending me to a renal guy anyway, so maybe he's talking with somebody.
2) Call the office and ask to be seen AGAIN so I can be sure of getting the information. As opposed to having a call from the NONNURSE in his office and getting second-hand information filtered through somebody who didn't demonstrate understanding of ANY of the blood tests.
3) STOP doing dipstick UA's and scaring myself, and just shut up
4) Begin drug-seeking behavior and just ride this out.
5) Some other option, which you will specify?
6) Nothing. There is no sixth option.

0May 9, '02 by NurseDennieHi again. I rang my doctor twice yesterday and he didn't ring me back! He told me he was going to send me to a specialist no matter which way the CT turned out, and I imagine that is going on, but I think he owes me a FYI call, don't you?
So, today my plan is to be the squeaky wheel and be so annoying that somebody BEGS that man to talk to me. Like I said before, I don't want a call from somebody in the office who can't possibly answer any questions!

Been there done that. Same thing happened to me after my son was born. I began having severe right sided pain. It was diffuse at times--but I knew that it was not like any kind of pain I had ever had (or would want again)
I was breast feeding-so I waited until the pain episodes occured more than 3 times (wouldn't want to go to the doc until I was not able to diagnose my own self first you know.) I had various tests done. U/S showed cholelithiasis and Left sided renal calc in pelvis of kidney.
Since I was not having any sxs on left side a cholecystectomy was decided to be my tx. I pumped milk for weeks to have enough to feed my 4 month old during the two days or so that I was not able to nurse. (I remember once my mom got out a bag with a good 6 ounces, warmed it up--Sean did not want it--so she had to throw out--I was in tears) Anyway, I had surgery. Lap chole. Fast recovery. All is well.
Except 1 week later I begin having the pain again, only this time I am not able to void--and am having bladder spasms. Go to ED--CT scan shows calc in ureter/bladder junction. I am having spasms because the stone is trying to pass and can't. It was nasty
I had a ERCP and guess what pain went away. Amazing. I still wonder if they could have left me with my gallbladder and done the lithotripsy in the first place. Well I was able to experience conscious sedation on the other side of the bedrail.
Good luck keep me informed of what they find. It sounds suspiously like what I went through.
Take care. Cheryl:kiss -
0May 9, '02 by NurseDennieThanks, Cheryl. It does sound familiar, doesn't it? I almost wish they'd been able to visualize a kidney stone, because then I'd be able to stop worrying about it!
My question is the same as yours - why didn't they get rid of your kidney stone when they first found it? Surely they knew it was going to cause problems sooner or later, didn't they?
My liver tests came back WNL (got the bloody call from the bloody MA, not the doc. Grrrr!!!) so I can go back on meds. No other word, though.
I can't seem to make myself stop the dipstick ua's though. Seems like the response for the blood was a bit less this morning, and definitely less protein. I'm afraid whatever is causing the pain might be causing me permanent damage???
I'm so paranoid that yesterday, during a particularly unpleasant moment, I was trying to figure out how I'd do my work schedule when I have to go on dialysis!!
So obviously, I don't have a LOT of objectivity about this. The pain is wearing me down. I think I'll sit in the doc's office tomorrow after I see my patients. Maybe I'll ge some pain meds to at least get me through the weekend.
Thanks so much for caring about this and me, and for letting me blather on and on and on with this whining.

As the media have been talking, today, about the "race card" being officially "played" in the presidential campaign, we've heard a lot of back-and-forth bickering: Obama said this, McCain said that. Obama Spokesperson X said this, McCain Spokesperson Y said that. Reporter A said this, Reporter B said that. Et cetera. There have been a lot of accusations (or, as Liz put it yesterday, a lot of schoolyard-esque did not!s and did so!s), with very few conclusions. And, at this point, we're hurting for some non-MSM perspective on the whole thing.
Below, then, are some selections from African-American group blogs discussing the "race card" story. Some of the bigger sites, it's worth noting—The Root, Colorlines's Racewire, Richard Prince's Journal-isms—have thus far kept mum on the issue.
Faye Anderson, Anderson@Large: "Race and the Presidential Race v.6.0"
The deck is stacked against voters who hoped the general election campaign would not degenerate into a race about race.
The latest racial dust-up was triggered by comments Barack Obama made during a campaign stop in Missouri….
Sadly, the promised "respectful campaign" is now stuck on race….
The race card is on the table and up both candidates' sleeve. So, it's time to crank up Etta James' "Stacked Deck." As Etta reminds us, "If you're going to play cards, baby, you know you got to deal sometime."
Jack and Jill Politics: "McCain Loses His Mind to PlayaHate"
A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Especially on playahatin'. McCain released this ad comparing Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Um, is it just me or is this a weird attempt to do a more subtle "Harold, Call Me" blond girl thing to Obama? I don't think it's working since even Paris Hilton is dissing McCain over it.
And Obama — playing the race card? Um, guess that's going to be the McCain response to everything. Iraq War, healthcare, education, foreclosures, foreign relations — just Obama playing the race card again! Is this a sign of desperation from the GOP or part of an ongoing strategy? What do you think?
Black Spin: "The McCain Card - Blame Race In The Presidential Race"
The race for the White House has degenerated into a race about race. The latest racial flare-up was triggered by comments Barack Obama made during a campaign stop in Missouri….
Sure, McCain is using Obama's celebrity status against him and mocking his alleged "fame without portfolio." But by linking Obama with young white women, albeit celebutards, the ad subliminally evokes racial stereotypes of black men lusting after white women.
McCain is scheduled to give a keynote address today at the National Urban League's annual conference. It will be interesting to see whether he tells a ballroom full of black folks that he's "proud of that commercial" comparing Obama to two skanks.
The Vanel Journal: "Kerry Destroys Kyl and Confronts the 'Race Card'"
Perhaps Senator Kerry is still smarting from his 2004 loss and feels that it is his duty to make sure that another Democrat does not get swiftboated. Had he shown the same fervor back then, who knows?…Ah those reveries.
The MSM isn't helping, instead of taking McCain to task for the audacity to accuse Obama of playing the race card, they are promoting this narrative. The internal polling must be terrible for them to go negative this early. The Olympics games will start next week and the conventional wisdom is that the news cycle will be dominated by the games during the month of August. The McCain camp figured that they could not allow Obama to coast through the month without taking some shots at him to bring up his negatives, unfortunately it appears to be working, new Gallup polls show the race tightening. The Obama camp needs an aggressive response to these scurrilous attacks and Kerry appears to be leading this charge. Yes, the swiftboating of Obama has begun and I noticed it over a month ago when I wrote this letter to Washington Times editor, Tara Wall. That was the trial ballon and Dems should have had the same reaction when Gen. Wes Clark challenged McCain's leadership cred. Remember the over the top hyperventilating?

Andy Murray can be world number one - Roger Federer
Roger Federer believes Andy Murray is capable of taking over his mantle as world number one.
Following his US Open victory, Murray said he was targeting the consistency over the coming year to make him the world's best player.
The Swiss said: "Yes, he can do it. He should be able to have that goal. He has results that back up his chances.
"His next nine months are going to be extremely interesting to follow. I hope for him he can achieve it eventually."
The 17-time Grand Slam winner joins Murray and Novak Djokovic in China for next week's Shanghai Masters.
Roger Federer on Andy Murray"It would be very wrong if he said he wanted to become world number two now"
The Scot, who is defending his title, arrives after losing in the semi-finals of the Rakuten Open in Tokyo on Sunday to Canada's Milos Raonic.
That was Murray's first tournament since his maiden Grand Slam win in New York in September.
After breaking his Majors duck, Murray, currently third in the world, said: "All players, once you get near to the top of the game, one of the goals is to try to get to world number one.
"I can't say this year it's necessarily possible for me to do it because I didn't have a particularly good clay-court season and I didn't do well in the Masters Series in Cincinnati and Montreal and also in Indian Wells.
"But that is the next step. To do that, you need to be consistent throughout the whole year.
"That's something that Novak and Roger and Rafa [Nadal] have done incredibly well the last few years."
Federer, with more than 300 weeks at the top, has spent longer in the number one spot than any other player in history and he believes Murray has given himself a good chance of following suit.
"It would be very wrong if he said he wanted to become world number two now," he said.
"I think maybe at the end of the year [he can do it], maybe the beginning of next year. Or, if not then, he's got a shot until next Wimbledon almost - if he were to win there."
The Swiss feels Murray's fine summer could prove the catalyst for such an achievement.
"I think he's done so well," Federer added. "His reaction was amazing after not winning Wimbledon against me.
"Then coming back to win the Olympics and bringing the victory home for his first Grand Slam at the US Open was great to see.
"I was very impressed and I'm sure that's going to give him confidence for what's to come.
"How me, Novak and Rafa - whenever he comes back - and the rest of the players will play will have a little bit of an impact.
"But, overall, Andy has some control over that himself now."

Don't believe I've ever seen a classier top 4 in any sport than what exists now. Andy is the latest arrival, but the same certainly applies to Roger, Novak and Rafa. Brilliant players and sportsmen all. This is really the golden age of men's tennis. Unfortunately, the same does not apply to the women's game. -

9th October 2012 - 10:35So now that the US Open has rendered the stock question of tedious journalists, "Is-he-going-to-win-a-Grand-Slam?" redundant the idiots have moved onto a new one to make up insubstantial stories and trivial headlines.

Although European champions Spain were widely backed to take Group H by storm, it is Chile and Switzerland who will battle for top spot in the section after the less-fancied duo both recorded wins in their initial outings.
Having been humbled by the Swiss, Spain now need to get their tournament up and running against a Honduras side that put in a valiant effort before losing 1-0 to Chile. Still considered one of the clear favourites to clinch the 19th edition of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, La Roja must demonstrate that their previous performance was nothing more than a blip.
In Group G, meanwhile, fate has delivered echoes of one of the most spectacular FIFA World Cup games of all time, with Portugal and Korea DPR due to meet for the first time since the Europeans' breathtaking 5-3 triumph during the quarter-finals at England 1966. Portugal's most popular player of all time, Eusebio, plundered four goals that day and current linchpin Cristiano Ronaldo will be desperate to rediscover his form as he attempts to follow in the legendary striker's footsteps.
The matches
Portugal-Korea DPR, Group G, Cape Town, 13.30 (local time)
Chile-Switzerland, Group H, Nelson Mandela Bay/Port Elizabeth, 16.00 (local time)
Spain-Honduras, Group H, Johannesburg (Ellis Park), 20.30 (local time)
The big game
"Chile are without doubt the team that has played the best football since the start of the World Cup," is the verdict of the country's iconic former forward Ivan Zamorano. Impressively compact, the South Americans have a decidedly attacking philosophy and boast a certain verve gained by plucking talent from the country's U-20 side.
The task of blunting their ambitions will not be an easy one, but Switzerland will once again rely on the strengths of discipline and team spirit that bear the unmistakable stamp of coach Ottmar Hitzfeld. His message was dutifully respected against Spain, yet Die Nati must make adjustments to cope with the absence of injured centre-back Philippe Senderos. Chile won the only previous meeting between the two teams at a FIFA World Cup when they prevailed 3-1 at home in 1962, a distant 48 years ago.
In focus
Spain v Honduras: make or break
Spain touched down in South Africa pointing to a record of 44 wins and just one loss in 48 matches stretching back over a period of three years. Those figures did not protect them in their surprise defeat by Switzerland, of course, and that result has left them once again facing the demons that have haunted them since 1950 and their solitary semi-final finish. "We now have to approach the Honduras match as if it was a final and try to take the three points before doing the same against Chile," commented Gerard Pique, blocking out the criticisms swirling around back home.
What they said
"The standard of the various national teams has become more balanced in the last few years. Predicting the final result or underestimating the other teams is the first step towards certain failure," Vicente del Bosque, Spain coach.
Did you know?
Curse lifted: After 48 barren years and 13 final tournament matches without victory – encompassing failed attempts in 1966, 1974, 1982 and 1998 – Chile finally ended their curse by defeating Honduras 1-0 in their opening assignment at South Africa 2010. Their most recent prior success had been a 1-0 win over Yugoslavia in the match for third place on 16 June 1962, and Bielsa's charges will surely now feel capable of moving mountains as they prepare to meet Alpine rivals Switzerland.
Swiss strongbox: Switzerland have not conceded at a FIFA World Cup final tournament in 16 years, dating back to their 3-0 reverse at the hands of Spain in June 1994. Although they have only disputed five games on the global stage since then, Die Nati can feel justifiably proud of their efforts. They managed four clean sheets at Germany 2006 before exiting to last-16 opponents Ukraine on penalties following a goalless draw and last Wednesday's 1-0 win against Spain promptly confirmed their reputation for miserliness at the back.
Asian Rooney: Nicknamed 'The Asian Rooney' or 'The People's Rooney', Korea DPR forward Jong Tae-Se is a formidable goalscorer and free-kick specialist who has already registered 16 times in 25 internationals. Born in Japan and raised in Korea Republic before moving north of the border, he possesses triple nationality and opted to represent Korea DPR on the field of play. Before South Africa 2010, he expressed his excitement at being drawn in a group that would allow him to rub shoulders with two of his idols – and having swapped shirts with Kaka last time out, he is sure to make a beeline for Cristiano Ronaldo at the final whistle.

From the Statistics you have, you can see that taking a SAT prep course does not guarantee success. However, if you do not even enroll in a SAT prep course, there is little, if any, chance of success. Most college-bound students are wise to take the prep courses.
P.S. Here is a GOOGLE Search on AP Stats in case you haven't seen it:
I will get my book out but perhaps a stats teacher can help before I get at it.
make a "tree" of possiblilites
start with two branches
A) took SAT prep test
B) did not take SAT prep test
mark each with a prob of .5
Split A) into two more braches
C) got in to first choice college, prob .3
D) did not get into first choice college, prob .7
Split B) into two similar branches
E) prob .2
F) prob .8
<<..You overhear a high school student say he got into the college he wanted. What is the probability he didn't take an SAT prep course..>
Sounds like BE which would have a prob of
(.5)(.2) = .1 or 10%
I assume that the entire sample took the SAT
Call total number of students t
.05 t took prep
.3*.05 t = .015 t = number who took prep and got in
.95 t did not take prep
.2*.95 t = .19 t = number who got in and did not take prep
So 19%
notice my possible outcomes are
AC - took the prep test and got in -- (.5)(.3) = .15
AD - took the prep test, did not get in -- (.5)(.7) = .35
BE - did not take prep test but still got in --- (.5)(.2) = .1
BF - did not take prep test, did not get in --- (.5)(.8) = .4
my 4 prob add up to 1, as they should
It said 5% not 50%
Damon is right, (time to get new reading glasses at the dollar store)
thanks for your help!!:)
the answer is 93% but i have no idea how to get there
93% is right, instead of making a tree with .5 for the first two branches. The branch for taking prep should be .05 since 5% of the people taking the SATs have taken a prep course, then the branch for people who haven't taken a prep course for the SATs should be .95
