I started my 9 Yr. Old German Shepherd on Traumeel, on the recommendation of the Animal Chiropractor he is going to for an inflamation/neck injury. It helps to keep him off Prednisone unless he re-injures himself, playing too rough with the other dogs. I started using it, as well, for long standing injuries that give daily pain. It helps reduce usage of more dangerous over the counter pain relievers.
Amazing product. It is very convenient to use since you don't need to do anything else other than to just roll the product on the skin. I wonder how long the pain relief lasts though.
I am a diabetic and have leg nerve pain very painful. I have had two operations on both legs and still wake up several times a night with cramps. This product works, But like anything in this world Money comes in to the system. It costs about $3.00 every time you use it. It would cost me over $200.00 a month. God bless America.
Let me tell you this stuff is the best I have ever used.I have had a lot of surgeries and I use this everyday to stop the pain I have with arthritis pain..I swear by this stuff.I have used all kinds of stuff and I will never again waste my money on anything else out there.

Our opponents on Sunday had a contrasting week to us. Last year's Champions League winners were knocked out of the competition by Benfica while we progressed thanks to a Thierry Henry goal in the first-leg of our clash against Real Madrid.
Arsenal built on the delight from Wednesday night by handing Liverpool their second defeat of the week. We had the better of the first half and opened the scoring midway through the opening half when Cesc Fabregas sent a beautiful ball down the left flank for Thierry Henry, whose shot curved around the keeper and into net.
We deserved the lead and took it into the second half. Liverpool came back into the game in the second thanks to a goal from Luis Garcia who capitalised after Jens Lehmann failed to hold onto a Steven Gerrard long-range shot. Liverpool were reduced to ten men soon after and so was our lead.
Steven Gerrard's misplaced backpass in the last ten minutes handed us victory and ensured us a return to the top 5. He passed the ball back to the Liverpool keeper unaware Thierry Henry was lurking between the Liverpool goal and defence. Henry latched onto the weak back pass, rounding the keeper and prodding the ball into the then unguarded net.
Here's how the team performed:
Lehmann: The goal was Jen's fault but I won't hold it against him as he had another decent match and has been fantastic for us all season.
Touré: A solid match for our Ivory Coast defender. Kolo saved us in front of goal on many occasions and put his body on the line for our team. It is really good to have him back after the African Nations.
Senderos: Phil had a solid match alongside Kolo Touré. He is trying really hard and has undoubtedly grown from his time in the first team. He is still young and is still learning.
Eboue: Emmanuel had another good match at the back and has shown real progress since his return from the African Nations tournament. He made a lot of runs up front and provided support to our wide midfield players.
Flamini: Mathieu is doing so well in the left back position despite it not being his natural role. He has settled into the role very well and is even making runs upfront like Cole used to.
Gilberto: He had a very good match in the middle of the park alongside Fabregas. He made numerous passes to the lads upfront while still providing another wall of defence in front of our goal.
Fabregas: Cesc had another brilliant match and it is no wonder Real are sniffing around. He provided Henry with the beautiful pass that made the opening goal and outplayed Liverpool's centre pairing. He was all over the pitch on Sunday and is just getting better and better each time he plays.
Ljungberg: Freddie went off injured in the first half. However for the time he was on the pitch he was lively and looked much more like the player we know and love. Loved the hat he was wearing while on the bench (wink).
Píres: Bob replaced Freddie and had another great match. He has been really good of late and should have got on the scoresheet late on in this match. It's good to see him playing well and this form has come at the best time for us.
Hleb: Alexander had another good match and has really improved his game recently. He has found his role in our team and is now doing it to perfection. He has proved he was a good buy in the summer, to me anyway, and I just hope he keeps up this good form as we go into the season's run in.
Henry: What can I say about Thierry that hasn't been said already? He is just brilliant and is so important to our team. The first goal was typically Thierry Henry and the second just shows how determined he is to get 4th spot. He made numerous runs out there and is currently in the mindset that can terrify opponents.
Adebayor: He looked alert out there but is still trying to find his place in our team. He had a couple of chances and missed an absolute sitter. He has to work on his finishing.
Overall We played very well as a team and built on our success in midweek. We are looking more confident and comfortable in every match and it is really comforting to see as we begin the run in to the end of the season. 4th spot is looking more and more realistic and if we keep up this great run of form I don't see why we cant make it.
Next up we face Charlton at Highbury who we beat 1-0 earlier on in the season.
The Official Arsenal-Mania Man of the Match for this game is Cesc Fabregas who was just superb out there on Sunday. Cesc won the award with 48% of the votes; closely followed by Thierry Henry who had 45% and Alexander Hleb who had 4%.
Quotes from the MOTM voters:
Cesc the Genius. nidza7
Gerrard was MOTM. What a magnificent back pass with superb skill. Henry_Píres

Murdoch Firm Snags $94K For Principal Training

Posted to: Schools, School Reform
New Haven principals are learning how to use a new Web tool to analyze how teachers spend their time, thanks to Rupert Murdoch and Joel Klein.
The training follows a school-board vote last month to approve a $94,000 contract with Amplify Education, Inc., to "provide consulting services, software license, and technical assistance training" to the New Haven public schools. The contract, which runs from March 24, 2014 to June 30, 2014, is being paid for with part of a million-dollar grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for teacher-to-teacher professional development.
Click here to read the contract.
The contract raised eyebrows recently in the teachers union because of the people associated with the company: Amplify is owned by billionaire Murdoch's News Corp. and run by former New York Schools Chancellor Klein. The pair, and the Amplify venture in particular, have become flashpoints in national school reform debates. Murdoch has been both lauded for increasing access to technology—and painted as a villain who profits off the backs of schoolkids.
Teachers union President Dave Cicarella (pictured) said he has asked his vice-presidents to look into the company's associations.
"We just want to check it out," Cicarella said. "Just as I don't want to do business with Achievement First [charter school network], I don't want to be doing business with Joel Klein, either."
Superintendent Garth Harries, who served as a top adviser to Klein before joining New Haven schools in 2009, replied that the deal was approved by a panel of teachers and administrators; is being paid for by an outside grant; and is a small contract for a limited purpose—not an invasion of city schools by Murdoch and Klein.
Justin Boucher (pictured), a teacher who is administering New Haven's Gates grant, said the contract has a narrow focus: To help principals at nine schools analyze school schedules to find more time for teacher-to-teacher collaboration. He said Amplify is training principals on how to use the Web-based tool to analyze teachers' schedules. Amplify will not make recommendations on how to change those schedules, he said.
Boucher said that through a license to Amplify's Web tool, school administrators will be able to plug in school schedules and answer questions like: How many students are in a class? How much time does each teacher spend teaching, prepping, and doing other duties?
That's "largely information that we already have, but not information that's easy to aggregate," Boucher explained. With Amplify's technology, principals and their staff can take a birds-eye view of their schedules. According to the grant, the analysis has one specific purpose, Boucher said: To find time during the school day for newly appointed "teacher facilitators" to meet with their peers and conduct teacher-to-teacher training.
Amplify "won't suggest anything" in terms of how to change the schedules, Boucher said. "They'll train" principals, but the company's contract explicitly states that the company won't be making any suggestions, Boucher said.
So far, nine schools have signed up to pilot the new technology: Barnard, Hill Central, Truman, Fair Haven, Nathan Hale, Columbus Family Academy, Sound School, New Haven Academy, and Hyde Leadership Academy. Principals at that school will be trained in upcoming weeks, Boucher said.
With the Amplify technology, principals may also be able to set to work on another goal: To figure out what to do with an extra half-hour per day of teacher time that will be set aside for teacher collaboration starting next school year.
The new teachers contract, which takes effect July 1, adds 15 minutes to teachers' workday and allows schools to assign teachers duties during another 15-minute period teachers had before school, effectively creating a new half-hour block of time per day. The contract leaves it up to staff in individual schools to vote on how to use that time.
Schools have a wide range of options: They could have teachers show up early every day; stay late every Monday; or even start the school year as many as 15 days early. Teachers in each school are supposed to vote on a new schedule; if they can't come to agreement, the school will follow a "default option" set by the school district.
The Amplify contract has provoked some fear that Klein and Murdoch's company will set the terms of that "default option."
Amplify has nothing to do with the default option, Harries said. He said the default option will be determined in collaboration with the teachers and administrators unions, as per the New Haven Federation of Teachers contract.
That union-management relationship represents a departure Harries has taken from his former boss, Klein. As Klein's chief executive for portfolio development, Harries oversaw the closure of hundreds of "failing" schools in New York. In New Haven, he designed a version of school change that hard-line reformers consider "soft" because it centers around collaboration, not conflict, with the teachers union.
So far, the unions have yet to settle on a default option, Harries said. He said he hopes schools will come up with their own plans so they don't reach the point of a default option.
"I want schools to own it," he said.

Finally a useful tool—anything that gives teachers the ability and time to collaborate is a good thing—that supports teaching and learning… plus it's not on the taxpayer dime so overall, seems like a win.

"We just want to check it out," Cicarella said. "Just as I don't want to do business with Achievement First [charter school network], I don't want to be doing business with Joel Klein, either."
Sounds like Cicarella DOESN'T want to just "check it out". Sounds like his mind is already made up. The union is opposed to anything that might destroy the status quo. For the union, it's Teachers First and Students Last.

Great Idea! Everyone knows, it seems NHPS and NHFT agree, that corporations are far more efficient and managing time than municipalities and unions. The city's principals, who clearly can't do this on their own (or else they would have) need training on how to analyze teachers' schedules.

Let's see: March 24 thru June 30. A little over 3 months' work for this $94,000 contract. I wonder if we paid the principals a few bucks extra to work overtime if they couldn't figure this out themselves. Actually, shouldn't they be expected to have figured it out already?
It's hard to believe that principals don't have a notion of what their teachers are doing and how much time they spend at it. And if they are a bit foggy on that, why can't they just ask the teachers themselves, in person, what THEY think might be the best way to carve out the time for teacher-to-teacher professional development?
Now that I think of it, this looks a lot like Taylorism: a metrics-based study of workers' time and motions to calculate their productivity and therefore their value to the company. Presumably we'll have more efficient teacher production line personnel after Bill and Melinda get through with us. Oh goody.

For those who don't understand why corporate America is interested in school reform….here is your prime example, to siphon even more money out of our pockets and into theirs. Just follow the money.
Side note, what an embarrassment - these administrators laugh their way to the bank with their 6 figure salaries, but can't figure out how their staffs use their time. Unreal. Is every urban district this horribly run??
posted by: middle on May 1, 2014 10:06am
@Elm City Resident, I'm with you.
The district got a grant to do a time study, ran a competitive bid process and picked the best proposal. Bill Gates gave money to Rupert Murdoch and New Haven gets some training to help think about school schedules.
The rest of you, I know that most of you don't have any experience leading a school and fewer of you have every tried to build a master schedule; where do you get the confidence to lambaste principals so readily?
posted by: NewHavenPublic on May 4, 2014 6:59am
@middle, @Tulin, @fourfifths, @NewHavenTaxTooHigh, @Elm City Resident: Amplify is not providing a benign tool to help managers. They are a corporation at the vanguard of monetizing our public schools.
1. Most teachers AND administrators work many, many hours beyond the contractual requirements. A new schedule cannot magically "make" more time.
2. There is nothing in the Amplify product to suggest it will help teachers. It remains to be seen if it will be useful for those who directly manage teacher time. It will be leveraged against teachers by the executive "Talent Office" in their degrading "Human Capital Management" campaign.
3. The purchased, "School by Design" (SxD) advertises that it "Used scenarios at the district level to create smart master schedules by identifying school designs that accommodate upcoming budget cuts". Budget cuts are the bedrock of the corporate reformers playbook. Deeper cuts are coming soon.
4. A close reading of the $94,000 New Haven Contract with Amplify also uncovers that New Haven Schools has ALREADY contracted with Rupert Murdoch's Amplify corporation for standardized testing and student data collection via the "mClass Beacon" online product. What schools are involved? Have the parents been told their children's data is being sold? How many of our tax dollars (state and/or federal) are going to this?
5. @middle: Was there a "Request for Proposals" for a scheduling product? Why not offer the opportunity in-house first? Bruising master schedules will be flowing from this initiative.
A secret "default option" schedule? Collaboration or intimidation?
Schedules don't make great schools. Great schools are built by skilled, experienced educators. The Amplify contract illustrates how little trust and empowerment is trickling down from New Haven's education executives.

The ancient method of hair removal originated in the Eastern portion of the world known as threading has gained popularity in Western countries in recent times.
The ancient art of threading is best described as the more accurate yet less painful hair removal process. The technique is performed by professionally rolling a loop of thread and trapping unwanted hair grow around the eyebrows, lips, sideburns, and other areas of unwanted hair, gently removing the hair at the follicle level. This is an extremely difficult technique to master and therefore is not something untrained individuals should attempt at home.
Threading typically results in a much more accurate desired end result because the technique can remove an entire row of hair at once which also results in a quick and virtually painless process.
The exact origins of threading is unknown but has been popular in Asian and Middle Eastern cultures for centuries. Once only reserved for weddings or special occasions, threading has grown into a worldwide phenomenon as the new technique for facial hair grooming.
Threading Advantages
- Much healthier for the skin than waxing because no chemicals are used in the process
- No risk of negative reactions
- Eliminates ingrown hairs
- Fast, virtually painless, and inexpensive technique for hair removal
- Ideal for every type of skin even skin types too sensitive for waxing or laser hair removal
- Results last approximately for two to four weeks
All of our specialists at iBrowStudios are extensively trained and are professionals in the art of threading. Schedule an appointment today for your next threading experience!

It's been said that being a pundit means never having to say you're sorry. That's probably more true than not, given that there are few penalties for being spectacularly wrong about the big things.
But that doesn't mean pundits can't decide to tell readers that they made a mistake. And that's exactly what Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen did today (10/22/13) .
"The early denunciations of Snowden now seem both over the top and beside the point," Cohen writes. He should know–he wrote one of them. And now he says his initial reaction was "just plain wrong."
Cohen's earlier piece (6/11/13) called Snowden a "self-proclaimed martyr for our civil liberties," and predicted that he would "go down as a cross-dressing Little Red Riding Hood." Cohen closed with this:
Everything about Edward Snowden is ridiculously cinematic. He is not paranoiac; he is merely narcissistic. He jettisoned a girlfriend, a career and, undoubtedly, his personal freedom to expose programs that were known to our elected officials and could have been deduced by anyone who has ever Googled anything. History will not record him as "one of America's most consequential whistleblowers." History is more likely to forget him.
A few months later, Cohen is telling readers that "my mouth is agape at the sheer size of these data-gathering programs." Snowden is no longer some cross-dressing martyr; he is "an authentic whistleblower" who might be compared to Paul Revere; he's even "a bit like John Brown, the zealot who intensely felt the inhumanity of slavery and broke the law in an attempt to end the practice."
Well, that's something. Cohen is to be credited for re-evaluating his work, and doing something to clear up the record. Here's to hoping that some day he might do the same thing about his support for unconstitutional stop-and-frisk police harassment. But in the meantime, this is a remarkable turnaround that deserves to be noted.

Fines and Restitution:
Improvement Needed in How Offenders' Payment Schedules Are Determined
GGD-98-89: Published: Jun 29, 1998. Publicly Released: Jul 29, 1998.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8816
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed court orders of fines and restitution imposed on federal criminal offenders, focusing on: (1) identifying guidance available to probation officers on how to determine payment schedules for offenders who received orders to pay fines to the government and restitution to their victims; and (2) assessing, in two judicial districts, how offenders' payment schedules were actually determined while under court supervision.
GAO noted that: (1) in the Central District of California and the Northern District of Texas, probation officers who supervised offenders lacked clear, specific policy guidance for determining how much offenders should pay each month towards their court-ordered fines and restitution; (2) in the absence of such clear policy guidance, the officers in the two districts GAO reviewed developed their own methods for determining how much offenders could pay monthly; (3) these methods were often based on subjective decisions not associated with financial criteria; (4) GAO identified issues of inconsistency and apparent inequity in 62 percent of the Central District of California installment-payment cases GAO reviewed; (5) the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (AOUSC) has provided guidance to probation officers on how to determine payment schedules; (6) however, the guidance, which is focused on what information to collect and how to collect it, does not specify how probation officers are to analyze financial information provided by offenders to determine how much, or if all, of the fine or restitution can be paid each month; (7) the Federal Judicial Center (FJC) offered financial investigation training to probation officers that provided more specific guidance on determining repayment schedules than that contained in the AOUSC manuals and publications; (8) although AOUSC viewed the training as reflecting its policies, it did not make this clear to probation officers; (9) moreover, the FJC training is voluntary, and not all officers took it; (10) the inconsistent methods used by probation officers for determining an offender's monthly payment schedule resulted in apparently inequitable treatment of offenders and reduced or slowed payments to the Crime Victims Fund and to crime victims; and (11) although GAO's detailed reviews were limited to two judicial districts and cannot be generalized beyond those districts, the fact that probation officers in other judicial districts are working with the same limited guidance and lack of financial standards as the districts GAO visited creates the risk that the types of inconsistencies and apparent inequities GAO found could occur nationwide.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts completed work on revised guidelines for probation officers in response to GAO's recommendations. A final set of guidelines was issued on September 19, 2000.
Recommendation: The AOUSC should establish, as policy, specific guidance on how probation officers should determine how offenders should pay their fines and restitution, including criteria establishing what types of assets should be considered for immediate lump-sum payments or substantial payments; how installment schedules should be established; and the type and amount or range of expenses that should ordinarily be considered necessary when determining the amount of payments under installment schedules.
Agency Affected: Administrative Office of the United States Courts
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts completed work on revised guidelines for probation officers in response to GAO's recommendations. A final set of guidelines was issued in September 2000.
Recommendation: The AOUSC should establish as policy that personal financial statements should be obtained on a regular, timely basis, such as every 6 months or when circumstances change, from offenders on installment payment schedules.
Agency Affected: Administrative Office of the United States Courts
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts completed work on revised guidelines for probation officers in response to the recommendations. A final set of guidelines was issued in September 2000.
Recommendation: The AOUSC should implement procedures to ensure that probation officers are aware of and recognize the guidelines as AOUSC policy.

…Unto this, his Honour's exquisite appointment of a beautiful garden, an acre or more in quantity, that lieth on the north there: Wherein hard all along by the Castle wall, is reared a pleasant terrace, ten feet high, and twelve feet broad, even under foot, and fresh of fine grass; as is also the side thereof towards the garden: In which, by sundry equal distances, with obelisks, and spheres, and white bears, all of stone upon their curious bases, by goodly shew were set; To these, two fine arbours redolent by sweet trees and flowers, at each end one, the garden plot under that, with fair alleys, green by grass, even voided from the borders on both sides, and some (for change) with sand, not light, or too soft, or soily by dust, but smooth and firm, pleasant to walk on, as a sea-shore when the water is availed. Then, much gracified by due proportion of four even quarters : in the midst of each, upon a base of two feet square, and high, seemly bordered of itself, a square pilaster rising pyramidically fifteen feet high. Symmetrically pierced through from a foot beneath to two feet of the top : whereupon, for a capital, an orb of ten inches thick; every of these, with its base, from the ground to the top, of one whole piece; hewn out of hard porphyry, and with great art and heed (think me) thither conveyed and there erected. Where, further also, by great cast and cost, the sweetness of savour on all sides, made so respirant from the redolent plants and fragrant herbs and flowers, in form, colour, and quantity so deliciously variant; and fruit-trees bedecked with apples, pears, and ripe cherries.
And unto these, in the midst, against the terrace, a square cage, sumptuous and beautiful, joined hard to the north wall, (that on that side guards the garden, as the garden the Castle) of a rare form and excellency was raised : in height twenty feet, thirty long, and fourteen broad. From the ground, strong and close, reared breast-high, whereat a framing of a fair moulding was couched all about : from that upward, four great windows, in front, and two at each end, every one five feet wide, as many more even above them divided on all parts by a transom and architrave, so likewise ranging about the cage. Each window arched at the top, and parted from the other at even distances, by flat fair bolteld columns, all in form and beauty alike; these supported a comely cornice couched all along upon the bole square. Which with a wire net, finely knit, of meshes six square, an inch wide (as it were for a flat roof) and likewise the space of every window with great cunning and comeliness, even and tight was all over-strained. Under the cornice again, every part beautified with great diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and saphires : pointed, tabled, rock and round, and garnish'd with gold; by skilful head and hand, and by toil and pencil so lively expressed as it might be great marvel and pleasure to consider how near excellency of Art could approach unto perfection of Nature.
Bear with me, good countryman, though things be not showed here as well as I would, or as well as they should. For indeed I can better imagine and conceive that which I see, than well utter, or duly declare it. Holes were there also and caverns in orderly distances and fashion, voided into the wall, as well as for heat, for coolness, for roost at nights and refuge in weather, as also for breeding when time is. More, fair even, and fresh holly trees for perching and pruning, set within, toward each end one.
Here too, their diversity of meats, their fine several vessels for their water and sundry grains; and a man skilful and diligent to look to them and tend them.
But, shall I tell you, of the silver sounded lute, without the sweet touch of hand; the glorious golden cup, without the fresh fragrant wine; or the rich ring with gem, without the fair featured finger; is nothing, indeed, in his proper grace and use : even so his Honor accounted of this mansion 'till he had placed there tenants according. Had it, therefore, replenished with lively Birds, English, French, Spanish, Canarian, and I am deceived if I saw not some African. Whereby, whether it became more delightsome in change of tunes, and harmony to the ear; or else in difference of colours, kinds, and properties to the eye, I'll tell you, if I can, when I have better bethought me.
In the centre, as it were, of this goodly garden, was there placed a very fair fountain, cast into an eight-square, reared four feet high; from the midst whereof, a column upright, in shape of two Athlants, joined together a back half; the one looking east, the other west, with their hands upholding a fair-formed boll of three feet over; from whence sun-dry fine pipes did lively distil continual streams into the reservoir of the fountain, maintained still two feet deep by the same fresh falling water; wherein pleasantly playing to and fro, and round about, carp, tench, bream, and for variety, pearch and eel, fish fair-liking all, and large : In the top, the ragged staff; which, with the bowl, the pillar, and eight sides beneath, were all hewn out of rich and hard white marble. One one side, Neptune with his tridental fuskin triumphing in his throne, trailed into the deep by his marine horses. On another, Thetis in her chariot drawn by her dolphins. Then Triton by his fishes. Here Proteus herding his sea-bulls. There Doris and her daughters solacing on sea and sands. The waves surging with froth and foam, intermingled in place, with whales, whirlpools, sturgeons, tunneys, conches, and wealks, all engraven by exquisite device and skill, so as I may think this not much inferior unti Phoebus' gates, which Ovid says, and per-adventure a pattern to this, that Vulcan himself did cut : whereof such was the excellency of art, that the work in value surmounted the stuff, and yet were the gates all of clean massy silver.
Here were things, ye see, might inflame any mind to long after looking : but whoso was found so hot in desire, with the wrest of a cock was sure of a cooler : water spurting upward with such vehemency, as they should, by and by, be moistened from top to toe; the he's to come laughing, but the she's to more sport : this sometime was occupied to very good pastime. A garden then so appointed, as wherein aloft upon sweet shadowed walk of terrace, in heat of summer, to feel the pleasant whisking wind above, or delectable coolness of the fountain-spring beneath, to taste of delicious strawberries, cherries, and other fruits, even from their stalks, to smell such fragrancy of sweet odours, breathing from the plants, herbs, and flowers, to hear such natural melodious music and tunes of birds, to have in eye for mirth sometime these underspringing streams, then, the woods, the waters (for both pool and chase were hard at hand in sight), the deer, the people (that out of the east arbour in the base Court, also at hand in view), the fruit-trees, the plants, the herbs, the flowers, the change in colours, the birds flittering, the fountain streaming, the fish swimming, all in such delectable variety, order, and dignity; whereby, at one moment, in one place, at hand, without travel, to have so full fruition of so many God's blessings, by entire delight unto all senses (if all can take) at once.

For faculty and administrative departments, BCIT recommends contacting Mail and Document Services to discuss purchase of a business-class Ricoh printer/copier. If this is not suitable for your office, we currently recommend network printers: either the HP LaserJet M401dn (for monochrome) or the HP LaserJet Pro M451dn (for color). We recommend strongly against purchasing consumer-grade personal printers, for reasons of reliability, consistency of support, and cost-effectiveness.
For assistance installing, configuring, or troubleshooting a College-owned printer, please contact the BCIT Service Desk.
Starting in Fall 2011, the College has initiated a new Managed Print Services (MPS) program with Ricoh Business Solutions, under their Ikon subsidiary.
The program is currently for network printers only. Under the MPS program, departments no longer purchase toner cartridges or maintain a toner inventory or purchase repair service for their networked printers. Ricoh/Ikon will supply the toner before it runs out and will make necessary repairs. Barnard Print Services will pay Ricoh a contracted rate for all prints made, and departments will then be charged back monthly based on the number of prints made by all users in the department.
The BCIT Service Desk will do initial troubleshooting on any printers covered under this program. If the technician cannot resolve the issue, the problem will be referred to Ricoh, who will either repair or replace the printer without additional cost to the department.
Students and faculty can print to seven public computing locations around campus, via the Columbia NINJa printing system. This service includes 100 free black-and-white pages per week (more can be purchased online via the CUIT website). Staff can use the NINJa system as well, but must purchase pages in advance.
Barnard's NINJa printers are in the following locations:

Brownsville couple expands on the benefits of composting
POSTED: Tuesday, December 10, 2013 - 4:47pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, December 11, 2013 - 11:11am
BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS (KVEO NEWSCENTER 23) — If you're like most people, you don't even think twice about throwing away your food scraps. But what many people don't realize is that these scraps can help fertilize and bring new life to your soil through the use of composting.
"it's a form of recycling," said Healthy Communities of Brownsville director Rose Timmer. "You recycle your food waste, or sawdust, or leaves, instead of putting them in the landfill for the garbage, you recycle them and then re-, put them in a compost bin like this, and then you get soil. You get soil that you know that you created through the process that goes through composting."
"It has a whole lot more nutrients and it avoids the chemical makeup of fertilizer," said master composter Craig Timmer.
Composting has also been known to produce healthier flowers and plants:
"It's important because it keeps that stuff, which is compostable, recyclable, out of our landfill," said Rose.
Reports indicate that these landfills could fill up very soon, and an alternative method of recycling will be necessary.
But not everyone is content with having scraps in their backyard:
For people who are concerned with aesthetics and keeping their backyard tidy, this bin is a very easy way for them to compost.
But if you do choose to compost, it's important to do so correctly:
"you have to have two parts to a compost bin," said Craig. "You have to have a green veggie kind of a thing and a brown veggie kind of bin. The browns are dried leaves, dried grass...anything that has been growing and has died can go into your compost bin but we do stay away from animal products."
"At the end of the day, who doesn't have a slice of tomato, an apple core, a banana?" asked Rose. "All those things are compostable."

Bernie Sanders has no patience.
Bernie Sanders, one of Vermont's U.S. senators, is mulling a 2016 run for president, as either a Democrat or independent. He is expected to announce his decision in a few weeks.
President Obama said Friday that he stood by the Justice Department's decision not to file charges against the white policeman who shot to death an unarmed young black man last summer in Ferguson, Mo., citing insufficient evidence.
President Obama will mark the 50th anniversary of the civil rights march in Selma, Ala., on Saturday, but he will be focused less on the past than on the future, particularly the agenda he hopes to carry out beyond his time in office.
No GOP lawmaker worked harder than Rep. Devin Nunes to distance himself from the right flank of his party when it risked shutting down a crucial government agency this week to fight President Obama's immigration policy.
He has no campaigns left to run, President Obama likes to remind audiences of late. But he nonetheless will return to Los Angeles next week to raise money for his party as it gears up for the next presidential race.
The Senate failed Wednesday to override President Obama's veto of Keystone XL pipeline legislation, ending for now attempts by Congress to speed up approval of the controversial energy project.
Hillary Rodham Clinton's use of personal email accounts as secretary of State mimicked her predecessors but drew attention to her penchant for secrecy as she begins what appears to be a second presidential run.
The scene was as unprecedented as the topic was grave.
For a speech about which there was much controversy among Democrats, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's first applause line was reserved for an unlikely recipient: Harry Reid, the top Senate Democrat, whom he praised for a quick recovery from a recent injury.
With no political solution in sight, Congress faces another deadline to fund the Homeland Security Department by midnight Friday – a do-over of last week's bitter battle as Republicans try to stop President Obama's immigration plans.
Senator Barbara A. Mikulski announced her retirement Monday in Baltimore.
House Republican leaders flooded the Sunday TV talk shows, seeking to battle widespread criticism after an internal revolt by the party's most conservative wing nearly cut off funding Friday for the agencies that protect the nation's borders, ports, airports and other key areas.
Secretary of State John F. Kerry sought Sunday to tamp down the controversy over Israel's prime minister's plan to address Congress this week on U.S. negotiations with Iran, saying the administration does not want to see Benjamin Netanyahu's visit tuned into a "political football."
The leaders of the Republican Congress never wanted it to be like this: another cycle of lurching from crisis to crisis, fueling the impression that the GOP cannot govern.
Sen. Rand Paul was the top choice of conservatives in a straw poll for potential Republican presidential contenders at an annual conservative conference near Washington.
Congress approved a stopgap measure late Friday to keep the Department of Homeland Security funded for another week -- averting a crisis just before money was set to run out at midnight, but setting up a new standoff as conservatives press their fight over President Obama's immigration...
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush defended his credentials as a "reform-minded conservative" Friday, even as he held firm to positions that threaten to undermine his standing with party activists, telling skeptics that he hoped to be their "second choice" to win the GOP...
With money for the Department of Homeland Security set to run out at midnight Friday, Republican leaders in Congress struggled to convince their followers to fund the huge department now and fight President Obama's immigration policies later.
On a gray wintry day outside the Capitol, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) stood on the grassy East Lawn and denounced President Obama's plan to temporarily defer deportation for millions of immigrants in the country illegally.
Technology mogul Carly Fiorina muscled her way into the crowded field of Republicans positioning for a 2016 White House bid with a blistering attack Thursday on Hillary Rodham Clinton and an appeal to Republicans to consider nominating a woman.
As the two political parties begin to gear up for next year's presidential election, the public has a more positive general image of the Democrats but trust Republicans more on specifics, a newly released survey shows.
With Antonio Villaraigosa no longer a threat to her campaign for U.S. Senate, some Democratic leaders see state Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris as Barbara Boxer's inevitable successor.
Senate leaders moved toward a deal Wednesday to avoid a shutdown of the Homeland Security Department, sidestepping a fight over immigration policy, as President Obama declared his administration would curtail deportations of immigrants in the country illegally despite losing a court fight on...
Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Burbank) said that former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's decision not to run for the U.S. Senate "means that there is a profound opportunity for a strong Southern California candidate" and signaled he is open to being that person.
Venturing to the heart of Silicon Valley, Hillary Rodham Clinton gently scolded the high-tech industry Tuesday for its male-dominated culture and warned of the downside of its world-changing innovation.
Eager to spare his party political blame for a Homeland Security Department shutdown, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Tuesday he would attempt to pass a funding bill that is free of provisions targeting President Obama's immigration policies.
President Obama rejected a bill Tuesday that would have approved construction of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, the first veto of a year that seems likely to feature repeated such moves as the Democratic president confronts the Republican-led Congress.
Senate Democrats on Monday again stifled a GOP attempt to advance a Homeland Security funding bill that would undercut President Obama's immigration actions, leaving Congress' new GOP majorities in need of a new strategy ahead of a Friday deadline to avoid a department shutdown.
California has stood as a bright-blue bulwark against conservative political surges for years now, blocking at its border a series of national Republican sweeps and giving President Obama historically huge victories.
The chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee castigated former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani on Thursday for comments he made about President Obama, and she called on a field of prospective 2016 GOP candidates to also condemn the remarks.
President Obama has talked about the deadly dogma infiltrating some Muslim communities and decried the acts of terrorism carried out in the name of what he calls a "distorted" version of Islam.
Jeb Bush carefully attempted to open up distance between himself and his brother, President George W. Bush, in a much-anticipated foreign policy speech Wednesday, suggesting that in the Mideast, he would value stability even if that meant supporting autocrats rather than democratic forces.

Unusual extrahepatic metastatic sites from hepatocellular carcinoma.
Terada T, Maruo H. Int J Clin Exp Pathol. 2013 Apr 15;6(5):816-20. Print 2013.
Department of Pathology, Shizuoka City Shimizu Hospital, Shizuoka, Japan. email@example.com
The author examined unusual extrahepatic metastatic sites from liver hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) in autopsy and surgical files at our laboratory in the last 10 years. In autopsy cases (n=31), extrahepatic metastases were present in 21 cases (68%). The most common metastatic sites were lung (n=18). Unusual extrahepatic metastatic sites in the autopsy series were abdominal regional lymph nodes (n=6), bones (n=5), diaphragma (n=2), pancreas (n=2), gall bladder (n=1), stomach (n=1), colon (n=1), adrenal gland (n=1), pleura (n=1), peritoneum (n=1), cervical lymph nodes (n=1), and shoulder soft tissue (n=1). In surgical cases (n=21), in which extrahepatic tumors were excised, the lung was the most common, and accounted for 16 cases. The unusual extrahepatic metastatic sites in the surgical series were bones (n=2), brain (n=1), skin (n=1), and oral cavity (n=1). Immunohistochemical demonstration of HepPar1 and AFP were recognized in 12 of 12 surgical cases examined and 8 of the 12 surgical cases examined, respectively. Cytokeratin 8 and 18 were expressed in 6 of 6 surgical cases and 7 of 7 surgical cases examined. These data shows that HCC can metastasize in various organs other than the lung, and HepPar1 and AFP were good markers of extrahepatic metastases of these unusual sites of metastatic foci from HCC.

Hot tapping,[1][2] or pressure tapping, is the method of making a connection to existing piping or pressure vessels without the interruption of emptying that section of pipe or vessel. This means that a pipe or tank can continue to be in operation whilst maintenance or modifications are being done to it. The process is also used to drain off pressurised casing fluids.[3]
Hot tapping is also the first procedure in line stopping, where a hole saw is used to make an opening in the pipe, so a line plugging head can be inserted.
Situations in which welding operations are prohibited on equipment which contains:
Based on the above, welding on equipment or pipe which contains hazardous substances or conditions as listed below (even in small quantities) shall not be performed unless positive evidence has been obtained that welding/hot tapping can be applied safely.

When we arrived, there was no-one there. There was no sign explaining how to reacht the owners, or where we could find them. So we just started knocking on random doors around the property. No one was home, exept a little boy (8 years old?). He spoke no english off course, so we had to somehow get through to him that we had made a reservation, and for what type of room. In the end we managed to get our room and pay for it. Do not expect any staff to be present, do not expect any information.

by WILY/WRXX News Staff • July 4, 2013 • News
Today is the Fourth of July, a federal, state, and local holiday so all government offices are closed today and there is no home mail delivery.
Communities across our area will be celebrating the holiday, with events in Centralia, Salem and Mt. Vernon, as well as Farina, Patoka and Nashville.
Centralia started their celebration early, with the Veterans Parade at ten o'clock this morning.
Boy Scout Pack and Troop 260 won first place in the float category with their entry, "Let Freedom Fly-21 Flag Salute," and Kaskaskia College won second place in the float category with its entry, "Honoring those who have Served."
In the mechanized category, Meyer Family Pride took first place with their entry, and the Daughters of the American Revolution Prairie State Chapter took second place.
The Centralia Elks received first place in the marching category with their large hand carried American flag. Also in the marching category was a little girl riding a decorated bike. Dana Renée Watkins took second place for her entry.
And the Centralia High School Marching Showcase was honored with a special award for its accomplishments this school year.
Today is the final day of the Centralia American legion homecoming in Fairview park. A car show will be featured this afternoon and the carnival will be open.
The celebrations will be capped off at 10 o'clock tonight, with a fireworks display.
In Salem, the fireworks display will be over the Salem reservoir at nine o'clock tonight and in Mt. Vernon festivities begin at five o'clock tonight at the airport, with fireworks scheduled for 9 o'clock. There will be concessions, a DJ,and a Miss July 4th Pageant.

Pratt Cemetery in Patoka will be hosting a fourth of July celebration on boat dock road, lunch and dinner will be served and there will be a cake walk, raffles, kids games and music.
Nashville will start its fireworks display at dusk tonight in the Nashville Memorial Park. The display will be preceded this afternoon with entertainment on the tennis courts as part of the Sunset on the Square music series, which was moved from the courthouse due to the fireworks.
And if you miss the fireworks and celebrations today, Irvington will host its celebration on Sunday, with a 9:30 a.m. community church service at Fortmeyer Park, followed by a chicken dinner, inflatables for the kids, barbeque cook off and a car show. That will all wind up with a fireworks display at dusk.

The marshmallows should catch on fire, they are the best when they have been on fire for a few seconds.
