TUCSON - On a busy night downtown you may pull up to the last parking meter and find yourself scrambling under the seat for a few quarters.
"It's hard to get change. I just carry my debit card around," said Aurora, who parks downtown.
That's why the guys at Park Genius developed an app to pay a meter electronically in the entrepreneurship program at the u of a. just click on the app and enter the meter number. Select the amount of time you want to pay for and you are on your way.
"Coins these days are just inconvenient. They're heavy and nobody wants to have them. Nobody wants to be the person breaking a dollar in a restaurant," said Austin Weiss, co-founder of Park Genius.
The city signed on for a three month trial AT 200 of their parking meters. Locations include University Blvd, 7th St. by UA Rec Center, Helen St. outside Eller College of Management, Alameda between Toole and the I-10, and Scott Ave. between Pennington and Broadway.
"It's free to the city. It's free to download the application. The way we make money is a 35-cent transaction fee on top of the meter fee," said Weiss.
Even if you have enough change nobody will warn you your meter is about to expire. The Park Genius app lets you know five minutes in advance so you never have to leave the dinner table to feed the meter.
"The meter itself won't change but don't be worried, the enforcement officer will get a notification on their phone that lets them know your spot has been paid for electronically," said Weiss.
The app can be downloaded on the iTunes app store and the Google Play store.

JACKSONVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Authorities say a man allegedly drove around barriers and struck three emergency responders working an accident scene, killing a firefighter and critically injuring a police officer and another firefighter.
Authorities say the crash happened at about 10:30 p.m. Monday along U.S. 161 in Jacksonville. Little Rock television station KTHV reports (http://is.gd/ztCCh4 ) that one Jacksonville firefighter was pronounced dead at the scene. The other firefighter was taken by helicopter to a Little Rock hospital, while the police officer was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital.
Authorities say both are in critical condition.
The driver was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder and criminal attempt to commit second-degree murder. Police say the firefighters and police officer were responding to an accident involving the driver's mother when the collision happened.

President Barack Obama and Colorado Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet will travel to Georgia in mid May for a high dollar fundraiser as the guest of Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank, according to a Democratic party official with knowledge of the event.
The May 19 brunch, to be held at the Atlanta headquarters of the Arthur Blank Family Foundation, will benefit the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which has expressed tempered interest in Georgia's 2014 U.S. Senate contest.
A Democratic official confirmed the event in an email to Tipsheet, but could not provide details on the cost of entry. Inquiries to Blank aides and other event organizers were not immediately returned.
Along with Blank, whose nonprofit has primarily contributed to Democratic candidates and causes since 2004, the president will be welcomed to Georgia by two of the state's most prominent Democrats, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and former Gov. Roy Barnes.
Obama last visited Georgia in February as part of a two-state southern swing to drive support for the legislative agenda he unveiled at the State of the Union address earlier this year.
The May fundraiser was first reported by Creative Loafing.
UPDATE: Mayor Reed reacted strongly Wednesday to Creative Loafing's report, accusing the altweekly of taking a "cheapshot" at the president's expense by not mentioning the "purpose" of the southern jaunt.
@thomaswheatley what a cheapshot.You forgot to mention the purpose of the President's visit is to give the commencement speach @ Morehouse.
— Kasim Reed (@KasimReed) April 24, 2013
The article's author, CL news editor Thomas Wheatley, said the event's invitation made no mention of the Morehouse commencement address, but amended his story at the mayor's behest.

Can you fire a 22lr through a 22 mag revolver safely?
This is a discussion on 22 mag questions within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Can you fire a 22lr through a 22 mag revolver safely?...
Can you fire a 22lr through a 22 mag revolver safely?
Everyone comes home!
It is not recommended without a .22lr cylinder, due to variations in case size, strength and projectile differences.
"I do what I do." Cpl 'coach' Bowden, "Southern Comfort".
NO. If you have a .22lr cylinder then you can, but the 22mag cylinder cannot safely fire .22LR.
"...whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one." (Luke 22:36)
Christianity and Self Defense from a Biblical Perspective
There was an outfit or two making sleeves so .22lr could be fired in mag cylinders. Don't know if they are still made or not.
"I do what I do." Cpl 'coach' Bowden, "Southern Comfort".
No, the cylinder in the Mag is to large, you'll need the conversion kit for the 22 LR .... go to Brownells.com and you may find one , I'm not sure about where to buy it ... but you'll be a "test pilot" with a questionable outcome if you try it ... don't do it ;)
Greg Knox
HGR Firearms Instruction
Ditto. Most .22wmr revolvers that I've seen offer a .22lr cylinder. Spend the money. Some, like NAA Mini's require you to send it in to have the timing on the cylinder aligned, unless you buy it new with the spare cylinder like I did. I don't know if all manufacturers require that, but Mini's require very tight tolerances, being so small.
The case head is thicker and bigger around so the lr will go in deeper; then the case will split if it fires jamming the case in the cylinder and probably against the recoil shield as well.

Hey Miami: I have a suggestion about how to end NCAA penalties. Quit cheating!
NASCAR. It used to be about racing today it's about drama and ratings.
Would someone tell the Braves' beat guys that Chipper has retired and we don't need or want a story about him everyday.
The answer is simple No 2024 Olympics here in Atlanta. Please!
Hey Josh, no matter where you play, they will boo with terrible shots and 50% FT. Can't blame the fans for everything.
It is so heart warming to know that Author Blank and a few corrupt politicians will make a lot of money because of tax payer money and a new stadium.
A new stadium in downtown makes about as much sense as a screen door in a submarine - so move to the "burbs" where you are appreciated Falcons.
Can we start an official "One more year Tony" campaign?
All downtown can think about is the next handout.... Falcons should feel insulted.
Here is a creative idea....sign football recruits who actually ARE academically eligible then a coach doesn't feel the urge to over sign.
Free Kolton Houston!
Why does winning at Alabama trump ethics? Why does Saban get a pass at cheating?
If you know they won't be academically eligible, why bother to look at them in the first place?
I imagine it will be very expensive to attend games at a new stadium.
This is Georgia. The rich rule the rich politicians. Give up on the stadium--the rich want it, the rich get it--and you pay for it. That's that.
I was looking forward to watching the Hawks without Smith - now, more of the same.
Why not oversign.. when you know a lot of them won't be academically eligible. It's like oversold airline seats.
Why would Nike have a contract with a man with no legs or feet?
Bobby Cox has also retired. I wish he would stay home and stop looking over Fredi's shoulder. Let the new guy manage, for heaven's sake.
Every coach over signs recruits it legal. You're just mad because that coach beats your coach.
Braves fans will be shocked when the Mighty Mets finish first.
Wren: Sign Melky Cabrera, even if you have to give up Kimbrel to get him.

Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Spiced AlmondI've reviewed a couple of the new Ghirardelli panned chocolate items, but up until now they've been pretty standard items. I was intrigued enough with the description of the new Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Spiced Almond to pick them up. The perfect snack to satisfy your craving for crunchy nuts and smooth chocolate ... with a little spice. I liked the package. It's very easy to understand, the images on the front and back are appealing, clear and not too fussy. But mostly I appreciated that the nutrition label and ingredients are easy to read. The ingredients list the allergens in bold, as well as noting them at the end of the list and it was all in a typeface that was large enough for me to read without glasses. The ingredients are pretty clean with no artificial flavors or colors. They even helpfully list out what the spices are: cinnamon, allspice and cayenne. Instead of just mixing the spices into the chocolate to create something slightly gritty, Ghirirdelli instead made a spiced toffee glaze for the almonds before panning them in chocolate. These remind me of the Lindt Holiday Almonds that come out seasonally, but are also coated with powdered sugar. The almonds are big and glossy. They don't smell of spice, just a light sweet dairy note. They have a great crunch if you bite them. The glaze is crispy and the almond are tougher and have a substantial crunch. The chocolate is soft and combines readily with the elements. It's all a bit sweet, even with the neutral almonds to balance it out. The glaze has a generous touch of the spices, with quite a bit of cayenne that builds up slowly until there's a light burn after about five or six. I didn't care for the how sweet they were, maybe I just wanted a smidge of salt in them or a darker milk chocolate. But they are less sweet than the Lindt sister confection, so I'll take that as progress. I have to say that if this trend of mixing the textures of a glazed nut with chocolate takes off, there are a lot of variations that could be quite delectable. The best that I'd tried to date would be the Sconza 70% Toffee Almonds. Ghirardelli is owned by Lindt & Sprungli. They don't have a lot on their website about the sourcing of their cacao except for a statement that they're in compliance with the California transparency act and then point you to the Lindt policies. Now that Lindt owns Russell Stover, they're the third largest chocolate company in the United States, and will probably have a lot more clout when it comes to insisting on transparency and certification within their supply chain for all ingredients.

See's Bridge MixI picked up the Bridge Mix from See's Candies over the weekend, mostly because the comments from readers were so adamant that it was worth having a try. At $18 a pound it's about 2.5 times more expensive than the Brach's Bridge Mix. It also has all natural chocolate and at least lists a sample of what is probably in the mix: Bite-sized pieces of raisins, coconut, caramel, brittles, almonds, pecans, nougats and more covered in milk and dark chocolate. The kind folks at See's actually gave me a little cup of the mix to sample before I made my purchase ... because it just comes in this one pound box. The box has four little sections, which keep the mix from wandering too much. I don't know if I would necessarily serve it from the box, but the nice thing about Bridge Mix it's a panned candy, which means that it has a little glaze on each piece to keep it from sticking together and you can put it out in a bowl without worrying that it'll all melt into a lump. One of the first things I should mention is that I'm allergic to walnuts. Not deathly allergic, as I'm still alive, but for the most part my reactions to walnut traces lately has been a swollen throat and flushed skin. The See's Bridge Mix does contain walnuts. One of the items is chocolate covered nougat, which has walnuts in it. It's hard to tell, in Bridge mix, which pieces are which, so it's a little difficult for me review these in the normal manner. For any piece that is the right shape to be a nougat, I have to split open first to see what's in it. The good part is that most of the pieces are easy to just chomp. The little items that look like raisins or almonds are raisins and almonds. The pillow things that look like molasses chips are molasses chips. The lumpy things that look like pecans are pecans. It was the little cubes I had the trouble with ... which leads to the general complaint with Bridge Mix. Dark Chocolate covered Caramel Rectangles had a more stringy, chewy caramel than the little cube ones I found a few times. These were quite nice, but maybe a little heavy on the chocolate. Dark Chocolate Lump is Rum Raisin Nougat This is the piece that has walnuts in it. Milk Chocolate Cube is Caramel The picture makes this one look like it might be a chocolate caramel, but it tasted rather rich but caramelly overall. Milk Chocolate Rounded Cube is Butterscotch The See's Butterscotch is one of my favorite pieces. This version is a little drier and has a different set of ratios for the chocolate and center. I prefer the enrobed piece (not the bar), but the creamy melt of the chocolate and sort of buttery brown sugar fudge do work well, especially with the nuts. This and the caramel looked the same to me, and most of the milk cubes were Butterscotch. Dark Chocolate Cube is Toasted Coconut These are wholly unexpected for this type of mix. You can see from the cross section, these are packed with coconut, so they're not too sweet and it is nicely toasted to bring out the tropical flavor. Flat Milk Chocolate Square is Toffee (not pictured) I like the See's Toffee, it's crisp and buttery and easy to bite. The toffee notes are good, but for some reason it's never had that smooth burnt sugar dissolve that I often crave. It's a personal preference issue. Milk Chocolate Pillow is Molasses Crisp. These might have more chocolate on the regular version available by themselves. They're crisp and crunchy, with just enough aeration to the honey-molasses candy to make them easy to bite. The lingering honey notes of the center goes well with just about everything else in this mix. Milk Chocolate Pecans & Almonds - the pecans are fantastic. They're roasted perfectly, they have a great woodsy maple flavor, so you get a sweet crunch combined with the chocolate. The almonds are very small, if I didn't know any better, I would have assumed that they were peanuts. They're well toasted and decent, a good crunch and probably a different variety than the nonpareil almonds I've been eating, because they're less fibery. Dark Chocolate Covered Raisins are quite niece. The raisins are big, though the chocolate isn't particularly dark, it is generous. The mix is very strong, it doesn't have any items that feel like they're cheap filler. I did find that the almonds were left at the end, I was picking out the big bits. But I think once I figured out the code, it was easier to mix and match without worrying that I was going to get a "bad piece." I do not recommend playing roulette if you have a food sensitives when it comes to this sort of thing. I would prefer an actual guide on the package, or at least a real listing the items that are in i. I'd also like to just make my own mix… but that's not the way mixes work. I would definitely buy this again. But I play Canasta, not Bridge. Related Candies

Dove Dark Chocolate CranberriesDove Chocolate, a Mars brand, often skirts a line in their marketing and products between being a healthy indulgence and pure decadence. The new line of chocolate covered fruit goes for the former but still accomplishes the latter. Mars sent me some of their new products, including this amazingly large bag of Dove Whole Dried Cranberries in Dark Chocolate. It's 26 ounces of chocolate covered sugared dried cranberries. The package makes it look like these are plump cranberries, but they're the ordinary dried variety. There's a little bit of sugar added, which is fine, because I've had unsweetened cranberries before and they were too puckery,even with a chocolate coating. The pieces are quite large, and cutting them in half reveals why. They aren't strangely large cranberries. Instead they're covered with a lot of chocolate. Often chocolate covered cranberries are flat, but these are very appealing looking. These a plump and a little chew reveals that they're pretty moist, not leathery. They're tangy and have a sort of bitterness to them that cranberries are known for, but it's offset well by the chocolate. I often find Dove's chocolate a little bland, but dark chocolate here has a lot of flavor. It's a rich chocolate pudding vibe, a little woodsy. It's creamy without being too slick, though Dove does use dairy fats in their dark chocolate, so this is not vegan. (There's 5 mg of cholesterol in here, which serves as an indication of the level of dairy fats.) They're expensive. But there aren't that many higher quality choices at grocery stores for chocolate covered cranberries. I did find Ghirardelli's new Dark Chocolate Cranberries are just as good as these but are likely to be harder to find. Steer clear of the Nestle version in their Raisinets line as they're just terrible. Related Candies

Mint 3 Musketeers BitesWith Mars newest product, their Mint 3 Musketeers Bites, morselization of all of the classic Mars candy bars is complete. The new bite sized version of the Mint 3 Musketeers is dark chocolate and features a minty nougat center. The Mint 3 Musketeers Bars were introduced in 2007, and though it's not the powerhouse that Twix or Milky Way represent for Mars, it still fits neatly into the candy bar selection from Mars in a unique way. The regular 3 Musketeers bar only got the mini treatment earlier this year. The dark chocolate covered mint nougats are about 3/4 of an inch square, a little shorter than that. The sharing size package holds two servings, which seems like a lot, considering the fluffy nature of the pieces. (Even if you went on a binge and ate the whole bag, it would only be 360 calories.) The pieces are easy to bite. The nougat is soft and airy, the chocolate is thin but doesn't flake off easily. The nougat is almost marshmallowy, it's fluffy but doesn't quite have that latexy bounce. Instead the peppermint flavor and smooth dissolve gives it all a fresh feeling. I liked them. I didn't feel the need to overeat or stuff myself. Each piece was nicely sized, the proportion between nougat and chocolate was balanced. I'd probably buy these again ... I'm not sure how they stack up to the York Minis, which are a little denser, but also have their pleasing textural qualities. I'd say I'm just as likely to eat those, although I think the York Minis fare better in transit to the Mint 3 Musketeers Bites. 3 Musketeers items contain dairy, soy and eggs and may also have traces of peanuts. There's no statement about gluten on the package or about the sourcing of the cocoa. Related Candies

Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Speculoos Cookie Butter CupsWhile Trader Joe's has been pouring on the pumpkin around their stores, they haven't forgotten about one of their other core flavors: Speculoos. Their newest item is their Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Speculoos Cookie Butter Cups. There are a few spice mix flavors that are popular right now: Chai Spice, Gingerbread and Pumpkin Spice. Another one would be Speculoos. The odd thing about the Speculoos flavor is that it's not just the mild cinnamon and nutmeg mix which is similar to Pumpkin Spice and Gingerbread, it includes the actual cookie. The Speculoos cookie is a crispy butter cookie with some brown sugar notes along with the mild spice. I grew up eating Speculoos, though I didn't know it by that name, they were just called Windmill Spice Cookies. The tub holds 11 ounces of foil wrapped cups. This quantity doesn't fill the tub completely, but it's true to its weight. The cups are wrapped in gold foil, and inside each little piece does not actually have a fluted paper cup like the dark chocolate Peanut Butter Cups which come in a similar format. Each cup is about 11 grams, basically the same size as a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Miniature. Trader Joe's also offered up a bar version of the Cookie Butter in dark chocolate a couple of years ago. That bar was made with Belgian chocolate in Belgium. This version is made in Canada (the Peanut Butter Cups that Trader Joe's sells are made in the USA, which might also explain some of the small cosmetic differences.) They smell lightly spicy, like cloves and cinnamon. The cups are shiny and nicely formed. The bite is easy, the center is soft and mostly creamy. It's not as crumbly as a peanut butter cup can be, with a much creamier texture. The chocolate isn't overpowered by the center, the chocolate flavors are well balanced with a berry/fruit note and a little dry finish to the quite slick melt. The cookie butter center is not overly sweet, not overly grainy. There are a few little bits of cookie, but for the most part it's more like a batter than a paste. They're not completely peanut free, so it's not like these are a great option for those with allergies. But if you're a lover of candy cups but don't actually like Peanut Butter, this might be what you've been searching for. I think it's a unique new product and look forward to more cupification of Trader Joe's products, such as the new Cookies and Creme Cookie Butter. Related Candies

Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate CranberryAt first I wasn't sure what these were. The back of the package says real dried cranberries! covered in rich Ghirardelli chocolate!. But the front says that it's infused with raspberry juice and a touch of freeze-dried cherries.. A quick peek at the ingredients doesn't show anything else, except that the cranberries have some sunflower oil in them (makes them more pliable). At first I thought they were like the Brookside fruit things, a little jelly center with some dried cranberries thrown in, but instead they're actually dried cranberries with some other fruits thrown in. The Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Cranberry are packaged like the Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Cashews I also picked up at the same time, expect this package is pink instead of light blue. The stand up gusset bag reseals after opening with a zip lock, which is common in these morselized treats these days. The ingredients and other packaging don't say how dark the chocolate is, they call it semi-sweet and it has dairy fats in it. I'd guess somewhere around 55-60% cacao. They smell very fruity, like cooking jam or a baking pie. It's alluring ... and they are darling little morsels. The sizes are irregular, but each is wonderfully panned with a glossy shine. The bite is soft, softer than I would expect from a piece of dried fruit. The cranberries are plump (I guess plumped with the other fruit additions and a touch of tapioca syrup). It's immediately tangy and with that light tannic bitterness that cranberries have. The chocolate is smooth, though not quite silky, it offsets the fruit very well and brings its own dry finish. I found these very satisfying and preferred the texture of the centers to regular raisins or dried cranberries which can be grainy or overly chewy. Though there's a lot less fat in here than many chocolate treats, with only 120 calories per ounce, that means there's also more sugars, though some are obviously from the fruit and not as readily available. There's also 2 grams of fiber, 10% of your vitamin C and 8% of your RDA of iron.

Churchill's Toffee and Fudge Carousel TinOne of the fun things about candy is that it makes a great gift. But it's not terribly special to grab some pick-a-mix at the local candy shop and drop the twist-tie plastic bag on someone's lap and consider it a present. Churchill's Confectionery recognizes that half and sticks their candy in decorative tins. The company offered to send me a sample of their line. I've actually had Churchill's before, I have a little red London bus tin that doubles as a bank on my desk at work. So when they offered, I thought it would be good to have some fresh candy to try. They sent two tins, one was this classic looking embossed Carousel tin that holds English Toffees and Vanilla Fudge and another tin that held three trays of biscuits (cookies). I don't review cookies ... but I did eat them. The tin holds 14 ounces, which is separated into two 7 ounce bags of candy. So it's not quite the lush look of a tin full of candy until you dump the cellophane bags into it, but they do stay fresh. I've never quite understood fudge, and this version does little to help me out. Fudge is basically a mixture of sugar and butter ... though modern versions use more advanced ingredients. Many candies have the same ingredients; it's the texture of fudge that differentiates it from caramel or toffee. Fudge has a slight grain to it, on purpose, which is reintroduced by carefully heating it to a precise temperature and then allowing it to cool partially before stirring. Stirring too soon will make the sugar crystals too large and not stirring enough just makes the texture incomplete. (More in this excellent and slightly technical explanation.) The great thing about fudge is that it's a wonderful blank slate for so many other flavors, including chocolate or pecan penuche. As this is Vanilla, it's actually a blank slate. You can see that the ingredients are decent enough. The pieces are well formed and the color is of a camel-colored coat. Churchill's has mastered the smooth texture style of fudge (I actually like mine a little grainy). It smells sweet and buttery but has no browned sugar notes (And has no brown sugar ingredients, either.) The pieces are nice little rectangles, wrapped in silver mylar. This vanilla fudge is extremely sweet with only a slight note of actual vanilla bean. A little note of the woodsy bourbon would be nice, or some deeper toasted sugar notes would have pleased me. Overall, this is too sweet. And coming from a person who actually eats sugar lumps from time to time, that's saying a lot. I could really only eat these with a very strong cup of coffee or some salted nuts. They're just too sweet straight. Rating: 6 out of 10 One of the oddities in the confection world is how the same candy is called different things in different places. What's even more vexing is when the new word means something else completely. Take toffee. In the United States we know toffee as a hard, crunchy, caramel brittle. But in the United Kingdom, for the most part, toffee is actually what we call caramel. However, I didn't need anyone to tell me what this was ... I know a caramel when I see one. They're nice rounded pieces wrapped in gold mylar, with a soft milky scent. They're about the size of Coffee Nips, and if Coffee Nips were chewable, that's what they'd be like. They're extremely smooth. The chew is stiff but not sticky or tough. The flavor is a bit salty with burnt sugar notes. It dissolves away to nothing with very little left stuck to my teeth. Rating: 8 out of 10 Both recipes include milk and soy ingredients and may contain traces of nuts. The glucose syrup is also from wheat, so I don't think it's gluten free. There are a wide variety of tin designs available from Churchill's. They're very traditional but do feature a few classic tourist items (like the double decker red bus). I don't think it's something I'd buy for myself, but with the right contents and design, I could see them as a good quality hostess gift or thank you item. Related Candies

Marks and Spencer Percy PigThough most of the confectioners I was searching for in London were chocolate related, I knew I needed to pick up a package of Percy Pig Soft Gums from Marks & Spencer. It wasn't hard to find them, as it was hard to walk more than three blocks in central London and not run across one of their food stops. They're described as Soft gums made with fruit juice. Made without artificial colors or flavorings. Though they call them gums, they're actually gummis, as in, they're made with gelatin. The texture is a hybrid between marshmallow and gummi. Marks and Spencer came up with the idea for Percy Pig in conjunction with one of their contract manufacturers, Katjes, in Germany. Marks & Spencer wanted something fruity and foamy. The look of the candy was based off of the existing Tappsy panda-faced licorice line from Katjes. The color is definitely close to what I'd call pig skin pink. It's a light color that's more like putty than actual artificial pink common in most candies here in the United States. The scent is rather berry-like, a little floral with a tangy sort of yogurt note. The texture is soft and easy to bite, they're not too tacky or stiff. The flavor is much more intense than the similar Haribo foamy gummis I've had over the years. They're wonderfully well done, good tartness, good jammy berry flavors (strawberry and raspberry). The ears are a little more tart and less creamy (marshmallowy) than the face. It's a great product and I can see why Brits are so fond of them. There are plenty of similar products on the market now, but for a long time they really occupied a niche that was not well served by the existing candies available. I would love more flavor variations, but since I know that Katjes makes them, they have lots of other yogurt gums and other foamy gummi candies in their repertoire ... some also in amazingly cute shapes. For some more history on Percy Pig, you can read up at this feature article on The Independent. Related Candies

Graduate Advisory Council (GAC) - Executive Summary of Graduate and Post-bac Policy Review
- Based upon feedback over the past 2 years (since CGCE merger with the Graduate School) and from the academic review process in fall 2011, CGCE met with Associate Provost in fall 2011 and it was determined that a full review of the Graduate Handbook and all policies that affect graduate/post-bac/CGCE students was necessary.
- The Associate Provost then set up an official GAC Representative for Academic Policies & Procedures (AP&P) Committee of the Senate so that any CGCE/graduate/post-bac policy updating took place via official University channels. Barbara Bole Williams volunteered to serve as the GAC rep to AP&P/Senate.
- The need/task to review and update all CGCE-related policy was brought to GAC in January of 2012 by Dean Sosa. It was determined that the Assistant Dean, Rebecca Gollihur, and Barbara would work as a team to lead the GAC through the necessary updates/additions to the former Graduate Handbook/CGCE policy.
Overall Goals
- To ensure that our policies are the most up-to-date, clear and understandable, and best serve the needs of our students, faculty and staff
- To make our policies easier to locate
- The Student Handbook should be the main source for student policy information. To accomplish this, CGCE worked with the VP for Student Life Office (Student Handbook) and the Associate Provost (Academic Policies) to ensure that these documents addressed the policy needs of CGCE/graduate/post-bac students or directed those students to CGCE-specific information on the CGCE website.
Process for Organizing Needed Policy Revisions
- Between January and August 2012, the existing 2009-2010 Graduate Handbook (from the former Graduate School) was divided into:
- University-wide policies (that were untouched and simply confirmed were in the Student Handbook)
- Resources (that we confirmed were in the Student Handbook)
- Graduate/post-bac/CGCE-specific policies (which we divided into 3 phases for GAC review )
- Between March and July, GAC representatives met and reviewed the graduate/post-bac/CGCE-specific policies and collected feedback from their faculty – upon which many revisions were based.
- We removed any policies that GAC determined were obsolete or duplicated in the Student Handbook.
- We removed any policies that were not academic in nature. These were:
- Admissions and related policies
- Emergency School Closing
- Immunization Procedures
- As of 07/09/12, all old and new policies have been reviewed and approved by the GAC and are ready for the next step.
- In preparation for the next step, the set of graduate/post-bac/CGCE-specific policies were further divided into the following three categories to determine whether or not they needed further approval from AP&P and Senate:
- We removed any policies that GAC determined did not include any true policy change even though there were some re-written/clarified language/forms.
- New policies which are made up of the following:
- Academic Program Policy Category Guidelines and Information (Policy Categories by Program)
- Commencement Walking Policy (New portions added and approved by the Provost and Registrar in spring 2012)
- Graduation Application Grace Period for Thesis/Dissertation Students
- Honors Designation
- Program Dismissal and University Dismissal
- University/CGCE-wide policies vs. Program/Departmental policies
- Significantly-updated policies are:
- Appeals Process for Minimum Satisfactory Academic Progress
- Attendance Policy (updates concern online & hybrid students only)
- Audit policy
- Concurrent Application and Matriculation Policy
- Enrollment Definitions
- Graduate-level Credit by Examination
- Leaves of Absence or Withdrawal from the University
- Minimum Graduation Requirements Policy
- Registration after Program Completion
- Satisfactory Academic Progress Overview
- Senior Privilege/Taking Graduate Courses as an Undergraduate Student
- Time Limits for CGCE Program Completion
- New policies which are made up of the following:
Policies for Review
- The items listed in numbers 2 and 3 above contain the set of policies that GAC determined needed to be presented to AP&P and Senate.
- In preparation for the open forum, please click on the appropriate links above to review the policies in their proposed format.
Current Status of Policy Review
- In addition to the information shared throughout the spring 2012 term, the GAC plans to provide another opportunity for the Rowan community to review and contribute input for the policies before they were presented.
- To this end, two open forums are planned (in cooperation with the Faculty Center) for September, 2012.
- There are two opportunities to attend:
- Thursday, September 20, 10:50 AM-12:05 PM in James Hall, Rm. 2095
- Wednesday September 26, 3:15 PM-4:05 PM in James Hall, Rm. 3110
- The GAC plans to meet once more after the open forums to consider the feedback provided and to prepare the final versions of all policies to present to AP&P/Senate.
- Once approved by AP&P/Senate, GAC and CGCE will email the Rowan community and update the appropriate policy pages.
Open Forum 2012 Information
The Faculty Center, working with the Graduate Advisory Council (GAC) and the College of Graduate & Continuing Education (CGCE), is hosting an open forum to provide an opportunity for any interested Rowan faculty and staff to discuss the proposed policies/policy updates that the GAC plans to present to the Academic Policy & Procedures Committee and the University Senate in the fall/early spring.
For the past year, the GAC has been carefully reviewing all policies that affect Rowan graduate and post-bac students in an attempt to ensure they are as up-to-date as possible and also best serve the needs of our students, faculty and staff. While the GAC representatives have already sought input from their colleges throughout the 11-12 year, we wanted to provide one more opportunity for the Rowan community to review the policies and ask any questions they might have.
The policies we plan to present are listed within the Executive Summary. Please click on each policy within the Summary in order to access and review the policy before the open forum.
The open forums will be moderated by Barbara Bole Williams, GAC representative to the Senate and faculty member in the College of Education. Members of the GAC will also be on hand to answer questions and participate in a community-wide conversation.
Thursday, September 20, 10:50-12:05, James Hall rm. 2095
Wednesday, September 26, 3:15-4:05, James Hall rm. 3110

See E. J. Thompson, Suttee (1928).
Indian practice whereby a widow burns herself to death either on the funeral pyre of her husband or soon after his death. The custom may be rooted in ancient beliefs that a husband needed his companions in the afterlife, though opponents point to it as an indication of a value system deeply hostile to women. Developed by the 4th century BC, it became widespread in the 17th–18th centuries but was banned in British India in 1829. Frequent instances of suttee continued to occur for many years thereafter, and occasional instances in remote areas are still reported today.

Scotland will keep an anxious eye on events at Halifax on Sunday, hoping to avoid the same World Cup fate that befell their country's football team in 1974.
Willie Ormond's men failed to get out of their group in West Germany despite remaining unbeaten, with Yugoslavia and Brazil qualifying courtesy of a superior goal difference.
Steve McCormack's Bravehearts also went through their pool stages undefeated but will be eliminated from the Rugby League World Cup if Italy beat Tonga in the last Group C fixture at The Shay.
The Scots began their campaign with a stunning 26-24 victory over the highly-fancied Tongans but were held to a 30-30 draw by Italy, who had gained a 32-16 victory over Wales.
Although McCormack's men kept alive their hopes with a 22-8 victory over the USA at Salford on Thursday, they failed to overturn Italy's superior points difference.
That means Italy only need to win by a point on Sunday to clinch a quarter-final against holders New Zealand in Leeds next Friday.
Scotland captain Danny Brough is hoping for a favour from his Huddersfield team-mate Ukuma Ta'ai, who will be leading the Tongan Haka before doing battle with the Italians.
"We've done our bit, it's now up to Tonga," Brough said. "Hopefully, Ukuma can smash a few Italians for us and help keep our amazing run going in the process.
"Everyone in the Scotland camp will be watching the game in our hotel and you can imagine what it will be like if Tonga do it.
"Games don't come much bigger than playing against the world champions and to be part of that would be absolutely amazing."
Italy will be highly motivated as they look to claim a place in the last eight in their first World Cup.
They demonstrated their battling qualities against Scotland in Workington, coming 14-0 down to earn a share of the spoils.
"It was a great comeback by us but we have got a few things to work on," said Italy hooker Ray Nasso.
"We have to win this next game otherwise we don't qualify, so it will be a big game.
"We were a bit flat after the Scotland game but we have put it behind us and now we move on to hopefully qualify."

Nope, no need to offer him tea.
But what do the KY statues say as far as use of deadly force within the home? In Ohio, you must have a reasonable fear of being in imminent danger of grievous bodily harm or death. If the person is not making any threats towards me, how do I feel in imminent fear of my life?
He can sit on my couch and eat cheeto's until the cops show up for all I care. The phone will be on speaker, and I will be armed. If he becomes threatening, I would defend myself with an appropriate level of force. But I don't want to have to clean the blood and brain matter out of my carpet, and go through to psychological process of having shot someone, if I don't have to.

May 10, 2008 Tornadic Storms
Early in the day of May 10, 2008, a vigorous storm system moved across the Plains. Surface low pressure developed over south central Kansas in advance of an upper level wave of low pressure, and substantial jet stream. A dryline extended south from the low pressure through central Oklahoma and north central Texas while a warm front extended through Arkansas and east into portions of Mississippi. As the day progressed and the surface low pressure strengthened, elevated thunderstorms developed over northeast Oklahoma and southwest Missouri. These storms produced penny size hail as they progressed northeast. This batch of thunderstorms developed in an area of abundant wind shear, but they were unable to develop any 'near-surface' rotation due to a stable airmass throughout the lowest 2 kilometers of the atmosphere.
By early afternoon, the low pressure over Kansas began to work its way to the east, bringing a narrow area of unstable air into eastern Kansas. Some clearing took place out ahead of the surface low. This allowed temperatures to increase into the upper 70s while dew points in the mid 60s surged North. This ripe environment was characterized by ample Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE, a term for measuring atmospheric instability in terms of energy), and abundant wind shear in the lowest 6 kilometers of the atmosphere on the order of 50 to 70 knots. A modest capping inversion (a layer of warm air aloft) prevented thunderstorm development through 3:30 PM CDT. This actually allowed the airmass to further destabilize prior to thunderstorm initiation.
**TOP IMAGE: Approximate frontal positions at 4:00 PM CDT. The peach lines are contours of Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE) with values >2000 J/kg present over southeast Kansas.
**Bottom IMAGE: Indicates a moisture surge (dew point contours in yellow) south of the warm front, and a high helicity (blue contours) airmass over Eastern Kansas and Southwest Missouri.
Explosive thunderstorm development took place over extreme southeast Kansas by 4:00 PM CDT. These thunderstorms rapidly acquired mid-level mesocyclones (rotation of the updraft as a result of significant atmospheric wind shear) and progressed east. As the supercells crossed into Cherokee, Crawford, and Bourbon counties in Kansas, the southernmost storm began to take a slight turn to the south. This slight change in direction effectively increased the low level helicity (horizontal rotation caused by wind shear in the lowest levels of the atmosphere) being ingested by the storm. This additional low level rotation worked in tandem with a complex arrangement of updraft and downdraft interactions to develop a tornado near the Labette and Cherokee county line in Kansas.
**IMAGE: Explosive thunderstorm development near and South of Parsons along the dryline at 4:00 PM CDT. Tornadogenesis occurred just after this still frame.
This massive supercell continued to the east-southeast, crossing into extreme northeast Oklahoma as it struck the town of Picher. The tornado produced significant damage at this point and was reported to be approaching 3/4 of a mile wide. At the same time, significant damage to roofs, vehicles, and vegetation occurred from Baxter Springs into Joplin as hail from golfball to softball size was abundant with this storm.
**IMAGE: Intense circulation as indicated by NWS Doppler Radar at 5:00 PM CDT. Reds and yellows indicate flow to the west-southwest while greens and blues indicate flow to the east-northeast. Other rotating storms are present over Jay county Oklahoma, Jasper and Lamar counties in Missouri, and one is developing at this time in McDonald county Missouri.
The tornado's path of devastation crossed into Missouri near Iris road in Newton county where significant damage occurred. It continued on to cross Highway 43 north of Seneca and Highway 71 just North of Neosho. At this time, NWS Doppler radar in Springfield indicated over 130 knots of low level rotation (80+ knots away from the radar and 50+ knots toward the radar). The tornado continued to the east-southeast, causing significant damage in Newtonia and Purdy, as well as rural areas along the way. This tornado resulted in 15 fatalities and reports of more than 200 injuries in Missouri alone. Additional damage occurred occurred in Ottawa county Oklahoma. The Tulsa National Weather Service office has performed a damage survey on the Oklahoma portion of the tornado track.
**IMAGE: Strong areas of rotation continue over portions of Stone county at 5:00 PM CDT.
Other tornado warnings were issued to the north of this main supercell for portions of Jasper county, and even as far north as Cedar county for areas of rotation that developed under supercells embedded within a line of storms. These supercells produced significant hail and straight line wind damage, as well as one tornado east of Carthage Missouri which unfortunately resulted in one fatality.
This mass of severe thunderstorms eventually experienced a weakening trend as it progressed to the east. A slightly more stable airmass was in place over this region as it had remained north of the warm front, and been dominated by cloud cover for much of the day. Other severe thunderstorms over portions of Arkansas also acted to cut off the rich moisture feed to storms over Missouri. All of these factors acted to slightly weaken the thunderstorms, and they even became a bit elevated as they moved east of Highway 65. Damaging straight line winds of up to 80 mph, damaging hail, and a funnel cloud were reported, but the 'near-surface' layer of the atmosphere had become more stable, and the tornado threat had diminished over Missouri.
IMAGE: The severe storms move into a region of weaker atmospheric instability at 8:00 PM CDT. CAPE is contoured in peach dashed lines and values are significantly lower than earlier in the event.

- Postdoctoral: Mayo Clinic and Foundation, Rochester; Institute for Cancer Research, Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia
Major Interests:
Transcriptional regulation of hematopoietic (myeloid) development and granulocyte (eosinophil) lineage-specific gene expression. Molecular biology, structural biology (structure-function relationships) and biologic activities of eosinophil-derived enzymes (phospholipases, lysophospholipases), granule cationic proteins/cytotoxins, and galectins as mediators of eosinophil effector function in allergic inflammation, tissue damage and disease pathogenesis. Eosinophil effector functions in inflammation, tissue remodeling, and fibrosis in asthma, allergy, and other eosinophil-associated diseases.
Our research interests center on the molecular biology, biochemistry and hematopoietic development of the human eosinophil leukocyte in health and disease pathogenesis. Ongoing research projects focus on the: (1) transcriptional mechanisms that regulate eosinophil development and lineage-specific gene expression in the process of commitment and terminal differentiation of multipotential myeloid progenitors to the eosinophil lineage, (2) molecular biology, biochemistry and biologic actions of granule and cytosolic enzymes and cationic cytotoxins expressed by eosinophils, and their roles in the effector functions of this granulocyte in disease pathogenesis, (3) structural biology (structure-activity relationships) of eosinophil granule-associated cytotoxins and enzyme mediators of inflammation, (4) cytokine regulation and mechanisms of eosinophil terminal differentiation, activation and secretion, including cytokine-activated signal transduction pathways, and (5) the roles of eosinophils and their mediators in normal tissue remodeling and pathological tissue fibrosis.
Recent work has included the cloning, sequencing and characterization of cDNA and genomic clones encoding eosinophil granule-associated proteins, isolation of the regulatory regions (promoters and enhancers) of these eosinophil-specific genes, and functional characterization of the cis-acting DNA elements and transcription factors that regulate their expression during eosinophil development and post-mitotic activation. We are characterizing the regulatory regions of the genes encoding the eosinophil-specific alpha (a) subunit of the IL-5 receptor (IL-5Ra), the eosinophil granule cationic proteins [major basic protein (MBP) and eosinophil peroxidase (EPO)], and the Charcot-Leyden crystal (CLC) protein (Galectin-10). These eosinophil promoters/enhancers are being analyzed as models for the differential regulation of myeloid specific genes in general, and eosinophil specific genes in particular, in the process of the commitment and differentiation of stem cells and multipotential bone marrow-derived progenitors to the granulocyte lineages. Transcription factors thus far shown to regulate eosinophil development and/or gene expression that are under investigation include members of the C/EBP family (a , ß, e and e isoforms), GATA-binding proteins and their co-activators/co-repressors [Friend of GATA (FOGs)], members of the ets family of transcriptional regulators including PU.1 and GA-binding protein (GABP), members of the Egr family, and the RFX family of transcriptional regulators. We are particularly interested in the functional interactions of transcriptional regulators such as the C/EBPs, GATA-binding proteins (GATA-1 and 2) and PU.1 in terms of their interactions (antagonism versus synergy) on target genes in the eosinophil compared to other myeloid lineages, and the enhancer roles of the RFX and RFX-associated proteins in IL-5 receptor expression. As well, we are characterizing novel signal transduction pathways mediated via IL-5/IL-5R signaling in the eosinophil, and the mechanisms that regulate expression of the soluble versus transmembrane isoforms of the receptor.
Our work on eosinophil function focuses primarily on the pro-inflammatory effector roles of eosinophils and their unique granule cationic proteins and lipolytic enzymes in the pathogenesis of asthma, allergic and other eosinophil-associated diseases and hypereosinophilic syndromes. Research on the cytotoxic and inflammatory effector functions of eosinophils includes the expression of recombinant eosinophil proteins (CLC/galectin-10, proMBP and MBP, eosinophil lysophospholipases) and analyses of structure-function relationships for their unique enzymatic and non-enzymatic activities using site-directed mutagenesis and molecular modeling based on crystallographic 3D structure. Additional projects include investigations of the mechanisms for eosinophil activation and secretion of these mediators in response to eosinophil-active cytokines and other physiologic stimuli. Related projects characterizing eosinophil effector mechanisms in the pathophysiology of asthma and other allergic diseases include studies of the mechanisms by which eosinophils induce airways dysfunction, fibroblast and epithelial cell activation, and the production of inflammatory cytokines and other mediators of tissue remodeling and pathological tissue fibrosis in the lung, gastrointestinal tract and other tissues. In this regard, we have recently developed a model of eosinophil-fibroblast interactions in which eosinophil products, including TGFß1 and other soluble mediators, induce fibroblast activation and secretion of fibrogenic cytokines such as IL-6, and the upregulation of genes involved in extracellular matrix homeostasis.

Two Defenders Visit Bills
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Apr 7 2011 11:12AM
The Buffalo Bills announced that two more defensive prospects in the NFL Draft visited the team on Thursday.
Iowa defensive end Christian Ballard and North Carolina linebacker Bruce Carter both spent time with team officials on Thursday.
Ballard played defensive tackle in college with the Hawkeyes, but will likely transition to a three-technique defensive end in the 3-4 due to his size (6-foot-3, 285 pounds). He's thought of as a fringe first round pick, so he could be there at 34th overall when the Bills pick early in the second round.
Carter is the third Tar Heels defensive player to visit the Bills in the past week. Carter has an interesting background, playing both quarterback and safety in high school, before making the switch to outside linebacker. For what the Bills do, he'd likely be an inside linebacker in the 3-4. He and Quan Sturdivant, his teammate whom the Bills had in for a visit earlier in the week, could be available in the third round.

Networking is the process of establishing relationships with professionals as a way build a foundation of contacts that can help you though your entire career. Stop being so focused on the short-term. This could be the most vital part of securing an interview for many undergraduate students. Coming from a target school you will have the opportunity to network at on-campus recruiting sessions and with a much larger group of alumni already on Wall Street. Learn More
Frequently Asked Questions
Generally, cold-emailing works better than cold-calling for securing informational interviews. This is because a clear and concise email can be answered whenever the networking target has the time, whereas a cold-call at the wrong time may annoy a potential contact. Learn More
This is a difficult question. Networking is a very delicate balancing act because you need to put enough pressure on to get an informational interview, but not so much that the person you are trying to network with gets annoyed. While you'll have to be the one to ultimately decide how persistent to be, here are a few guidelines: Learn More
An internship is not absolutely necessary, but it is an extremely important part of the process when trying to secure a full-time position. If you are thinking about pursuing a career in finance, an internship is a good way to find out more about the day-to-day of the job. Learn More
Internships are a crucial part of the recruiting process not only because they allow you to gain experience in a specific industry, but also because they give your potential employers the opportunity to see how you work. There are a number of internship opportunities available to you and deciding which one is right depends on what industry you want to end up in. Keep in mind that one of the best aspects of getting an internship on Wall Street is the perceived selectivity. Learn More
There are a number of ways to get finance experience as a freshman or sophomore in college. While it is definitely more difficult to get an official summer internship at an investment bank, for example, it is still very possible to get some sort of internship. Learn More
Background Checks
The background check can be a stressful process for new employees worried about something in their past that may show up....orr anyone that has rounded their GPA a bit too aggressively. In general the background check is meant to double check on a few key points: Learn More
Please use common sense and protect your reputation. We would like you to succeed and lying is NOT the way to make that happen. When you are found to have lied to the company that is hiring you, you will most likely be fired. Not only that, but this likely kills all of your exit opportunities and can derail your career very quickly. Learn More
This depends on your firm, but for most large financial services firms, a drug test is a standard part of the background check. This is usually before starting your full-time or internship position. Learn More

Silgranite vs. stainless kitchen sink
I am concerned about staining and cracking/chipping in the silgranite sinks. I have heard the complaints about water spots/ scratches on ss but I am trying to decide if I should go with ss just because of its longevity. Please enlighten me if you feel granite composite sinks are as durable. Thanks!
Bottom-line - reviews from happy customers are just too numerous to ignore but I do plan to try to minimize shipping problems.
I'm going with silgranit - haven't purchased yet. I am also concerned about chipping/cracking but only during shipping. Seems like once installed, most here on gardenweb are VERY happy.
So I'm not buying from Home Depot or Lowes - their quality can be suspect and I have experienced personally the results of their very poor shipping. Also, lots of reviews on Amazon seemed to complain about having to return more than once in order to get one that is not cracked.
I haven't shopped at local plumbing places for best price but I'm thinking that will be my insurance against cracking and chipping. It will make it much easier to return (I won't have to pay shipping costs at least).
Other possibility is that I have had good luck with Plumber Surplus website shipping - they pack well and also the local delivery service was excellent on another large fragile product I ordered (after ordering 3 times from Home Depot and experiencing shipping mixup and delivery damage - it was a medicine cabinet). Maybe I'll choose frome THIS
Will be interested how others respond. Thanks for posting.

I had never heard of Silgranit before GW. After reading dozens of glowing reviews over many months of planning my remodel, I wanted this miracle sink for myself! I've been using it for 18 months and it's been carefree. Stains are few and wipe right off with a little Bon Ami. I have never read anywhere that they chip. There have been very few reports of cracking in shipping. We bought ours through the plumbing showroom where we got our faucet. It was all ordered a month before tear-out in case of a problem.
GW love for silgranit ranks right up there with love for drawers and (based on my non-scientific, non-objective, non-comprehensive and TKO reading of this board) exceeds towel pig, German brooms, and even soapstone in universality.
I could try to suggest that "the herd is wrong" as it so often is in the stock market. But I've been assimilated. I was persuaded by my torture test of a sample chip and have loved every day of the 3 months I've had 2 cinder precis sinks (one large bowl, one cascade). And I haven't yet read a report from an owner who feels differently.
Our recent re-model has a Blanco Silgranit Precis Cascade sink. I had it installed using the "Sink Setter" (proprietary), which allows the sink's removal from below should a problem develops. I really love Silgranit for clean up,use and complementation of countertops and kitchen.
Much thanks to GW members for posting about the Sink Setter.
My husband is in love with our newly installed Antracite sink because he'll never get yelled at for not rinsing the coffee down the drain! LOL And I'm loving it because I won't have to get out the baking soda and scour those coffee stains around the SS drain!
Thank you everyone for your quick responses. I was supposed to have final measurements for granite this week but postponed it due to all the positive reviews of the silgranite sinks. I have a Kraus ss sink sitting in my front room but now am "almost" convinced I want to try silgranite. I also some comments about not being able to use bleach or cleaners contains bleach. I use bleach cleaners on pots and pans and sometimes add a bit to dishwasher during cold/flu season. Will this harm the surface or discolor it? I am thinking of the truffle color, which is a deep tan.
Their website says you cannot use straight bleach.
Daily cleaning may be done with any non-abrasive cleaner (i.e. Barkeeper's friend, Soft Scrub with Bleach, or dishwasher soap). After every use, rinse and wipe the sink dry with a clean, soft cloth to eliminate any water spots or soap film build-ups.
Normal Stains ~ for stains, please use a mild abrasive cleanser, along with a soft scouring pad.
Stubborn Stains ~ A solution of 50% bleach, 50% water should only be used for tough, stubborn stains. Let the solution sit in the bottom of the sink for one hour; then scrub. Rinse well. Also, the use of BAR KEEPERS FRIEND (directions included on bottle or can) will help remove stubborn stains. (NOTE: with Anthracite or Café Brown, sink must be rinsed thoroughly with hot water).
Mags, you should avoid using bleach in a stainless steel sink as well, or so I am told.
Can I chime in on the stainless side? A good quality stainless steel sink is kitchen bulletproof, which is why it's used so extensively in pro kitchens.
I know everyone loves their Sils. I have never understood the appeal of the surface but I like a shiny sink -- perhaps it comes down to that.
A big ss sink is trouble free, and they are not inexpensive. Me, with the Kraus on the floor, I'd put the difference into a fab faucet like the Kohler Sensate or one of the Deltas or Brizos.
But whatever you decide you should have what YOU want for your kitchen and what you will love every day. Cause you'll be cleaning it LOL!
I wanted to get a Silgranite sink after everything I read here. However, picking out the granite and complementary colored quartz for the perimeter was very difficult, and I was afraid of trying to introduce another "color" into the mix -- especially with not being able to see them all side-by-side before making the decision. Therefore, I went with stainless as being more "neutral."
I just ordered a Silgranit sink to replace a 30-year old double bowl SS sink. I ordered the 33x22 single bowl drop in which will fit in the existing opening. When I redo the whole kitchen the sink can be installed as an under mount. That was a major selling point. I was planng to get another SS but decided on Silgranit based on reviews here. I ordered it online from Homeclick. Last month I got a Toto toilet from them at a great price, delivered overnight FedEx at no extra cost, great packaging, all in all a flawless transaction. The sink was shipped yesterday from the manufacturer. Fingers crossed. I'm getting a Kohler Elate faucet from a local plumbing store that gave me a competitive price. The taller faucets were much too tall for my application. I prefer buying locally when possible, but the one supplier of Toto quoted almost $200 more than online! I used an online coupon from Homeclick for a further 6% discount.
Everyone loves Silgranite so much that I figured the sink in my laundry room that I dislike so much was some other material, even though I THOUGHT it was Silgranite. In the course of looking up something else from the remodel 7 years ago I found the receipt for the sink. Yup, it's Silgranite. I also have a black Silgranite sink in our vacation home. The black sink is pretty trouble-free but I don't love it. I don't like black much, so can't really blame the material. I hate, hate, hate my off-white silgranite laundry sink. It stains and just seems dirty. I wouldn't let that discourage you since most people are so happy. But it's all stainless all the time for me :) Unless I splurge for a farm sink...but I am worried about doing anything other than SS now...I love a shiny sink!!
Chances are you have Silgranite, not Silgranite II. The new Silgranite is more stain resistant. It's been out for a few years and that's what most people are reviewing here. Several people who remodeled recently have the white Silgranite II and have reported that stains clean off easily.
If you search threads here from a few years ago and see claims of the white staining, that person was repeating anecdotal evidence about the old Silgranite, never realizing it had been replaced with Silgranite II.
I too was going to go with stainless steel, Blancowave. I fell in love with the sink. But after talking to people who had the Sigranite sink and reading the reviews, I went with the Silgranite black sink.
Purchased it from Costco for $320. There is a $30 rebate going on right now. It was delivered to my home within 3 days! Tomorrow the granite people come to my home to measure. Hopefully everything goes well.
My Silgranite sink has been in two years now and I would do it again. I have the black.
Still, I don't think you can go wrong with a good heavy-gauge stainless steel sink. it comes down to what do you associate with a nice sink? When you envision a half hour peeling potatoes and carrots for a big pot of soup, where do you see yourself standing?
I had negative associations with stainless between my first job in fast food and it's what you see in hospitals and travel trailers (my grandparents would take us camping). So, stainless just didn't fit into my vision of a home kitchen. But again, that's my vision. What's yours?
I am also going to order the précis large single basin in metallic gray. While I also believe in supporting local business, saving >$100 on line is hard to ignore. But the problems with adequate packing and chipping has me scared. I assumed it was sent well packed in the mfg packaging. Would it be taboo to ask if anyone has had a problem with the packaging from Home Perfect? They have the best price for my sink but worrying about chipping, now I am not sure.
GWers have had less than great experiences with that company and they were not a Blanco authorized retailer when I looked it up. I saved money on lights I ordered from them, but it took too much follow-up.
Here is a link that might be useful: Homeperfect.com Review
I have had some good results from HomeClick (no experience with HomePerfect) - but you might be right about the manufacturer. If I remember right, when I bought my Toto in wall toilet carrier, HOMECLICK had put the TOTO mfg boxed fixture inside of another box of theirs - it ended up being a HUGE box. This was a pricey item, $800 so that may be some kind of criteria they use on whether to add additional packaging.
Though the "not an authorized dealer" might be a deal breaker. I would call the Blanco hotline on this. Shouldn't take too much time, and you can add a couple other website names so you can ask about them at the same time.
One other tip I read here somewhere (sorry for not giving credit), if you sprinkle baby powder (or maybe baking soda?) inside the sink on the surface, this will help show any miniscule cracks that are invisible to the eye but that you don't want and that can cause trouble later on. If when the box is delivered, you are prepared with your powder, seems like this would be a quick minimal test on whether to send it back (if no large cracks). I don't know if there are any caveats to this test, probably good idea to search Google or ask the Blanco guy when you have him on the line asking about the "authorized dealer" question. (Though I wouldn't be surprised if they don't want this test advertised on a large scale... just speculating.)
Probably something good to do even if you've bought local, might as well check before you go to expense of having installed.
Kksmama, thank you for the link on Home Perfect reviews. Seems there was more complaints about lighting than sinks. I have had great experience with lumens.com for lighting. Still on the fence. I ordered a faucet from home perfect I haven't received yet. But I am feeling paranoid about a large item like a sink and may just pay more for a local blanco authorized dealer to avert any potential problem for peace of mind.

The water is pretty dumb where I live and can't find it's way to the drain unless it runs downhill. Probably 99% of the sinks these days are installed in dead flat counter tops, and spills easily drip to the floor. With top mounts, splashes have to jump over the rim to get into the sink. Even with bottom mounts (in addition to their other problems) splashes are just as likely to find their way to the floor as into the sink.
My favorite sink was in my first house: a cast iron monster with 2 drainboards and a foot-high backsplash. No seams to gather wet gunk. My second sink was stainless, totally seamless with the counter top and backsplash -- a custom job by the former owner. In my current house, I've had to make do with a stainless sink that has only one drainboard. But I want something better.
I love the Clarion Farmhouse Drainboard Sink. It's like my first one, but too overpowering for my current kitchen. Ditto the many styles of commercial sinks. Then I found the Elkay Lustertone Series. It has 2 drainboards and I can fit a dishwasher under one of them. It has a modified raised lip. It has an integrated backsplash -- though I wish it were a little higher so that I could install a wall faucet through it. And it can replace an entire 6 feet of countertop surface, thereby mitigating its cost. The kitchen is still in the planning phase, but I know which sink I'll be buying.
Take a look at it before deciding on Silgranite or the more common stainless sinks.
Here is a link that might be useful: Elkay double drainboard sink
I know those cast-iron monsters, there was one in my grandma's old farmhouse. These were especially great if you didn't have a dishwasher and needed one side for the dish rack to dry them.
My own family has an undermount silgranite, and we seem to do fine without the lip in front--I think it's because our faucet is the right size and height for our sink that there isn't a lot of spray everywhere. Also the deeper sink bowl over years ago helps eliminate spray too.
Clearly you have the integrated backsplash with this model, which is great. But for me, it's hard to tell if the lip on this Elkay will make enough of a difference for you given your usage--I hope you are able to see it in person before buying.

OS - What is paging? Why paging is used? - Feb 27, 2010, 11:35 am by Rajmeet Ghai
Paging is a memory management technique in which the memory is divided into fixed size pages. Paging is used for faster access to data. When a program needs a page, it is available in the main memory as the OS copies a certain number of pages from your storage device to main memory. Paging allows the physical address space of a process to be noncontiguous.
OS - What is paging? Why paging is used? - September 30, 2009 at 15:50 AM by Vidya Sagar
OS performs an operation for storing and retrieving data from secondary storage devices for use in main memory. Paging is one of such memory management scheme. Data is retrieved from storage media by OS, in the same sized blocks called as pages. Paging allows the physical address space of the process to be non contiguous. The whole program had to fit into storage contiguously.
Paging is to deal with external fragmentation problem. This is to allow the logical address space of a process to be noncontiguous, which makes the process to be allocated physical memory.

Tomorrow's CPR Heroes Readied For Action
by Thomas MacMillan | May 21, 2014 11:45 am
Commenting has been closed | E-mail the Author
Posted to: City Hall, Health
Days after passers-by used CPR to save the lives of two New Haveners, Mufid Bohorquez leaned over another patient, listening for the cracking of ribs as he pressed on the chest.
Bohorquez (pictured) wasn't at the scene of an accident. His patient wasn't a real person in cardiac arrest, but a practice dummy on a table in City Hall.
Bohorquez was a participant in AMR's 2014 World CPR challenge in City Hall, an effort by the emergency ambulance response company to train as many people in compression-only CPR (cardiopulminary resuscitation), a technique for keeping someone's blood circulating when her heart stops.
Civilians happened to have deployed that technique successfully at least twice in the last week, said Assistant Fire Chief Ralph Black. Once at Yale graduation and once on Chapel street, passersby initiated CPR on a person in distress, saving a life in both cases, Black said.
Then on Wednesday an already scheduled event took place to enable other civilians to come to similar rescues in the future. Between 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., AMR staff, firefighters, and cops were deployed in City Hall's first-floor atrium, poised near practice dummies laid out on the floor and ready to train.
"32 is the magic number," said R.J. Conners (pictured), an AMR EMT working as a trainer. A responder should give 32 chest compressions between checking for a pulse, he said.
Standard civilian CPR has been simplified, he said, to increase the number of people willing to do it. The protocol no longer includes mouth-to-mouth breathing, because people were reluctant to do it, and because experts found that there's enough oxygen in the blood for a few minutes even without assisted breathing.
The most important thing is to keep the blood circulating during the three to five minutes it takes for emergency responders to arrive, Conners said.
The new simplified CPR process has just three steps:
• Check for responsiveness. Feel for a pulse.
• If the person doesn't respond and you don't feel a pulse, call 911.
• Begin chest compressions. Put one hand over the other and interlace your fingers. Place your hands in the center of the chest and press down hard, 32 times. Then feel for a pulse and continue.
On the dummies, a click signals the proper depth and force of compressions. Conners said CPR is likely to crack some ribs, a small price to pay for a life saved.
Charles Babson, AMR's general manager for eastern Connecticut, said he's aiming to train 7,500 people in CPR in his region. Conners said New Haven County's "spontaneous save rate" for CPR patients is 34 percent, meaning that the pulse returns in about one in three people. That's better than the national average of 23 percent.
Bohorquez, a graphic designer for New Haven's Project Storefronts, said he stopped for a CPR refresher because "it's always good to have this current. Most people don't know how to do this."
Velma George (at right in photo), who works for City Hall's Livable City Initiative, stopped by for training with firefighter Justin McCarthy (at left in photo).
"I though it'd be good to do a quick refresher," she said.
Asked if she's ever had to use CPR, she replied, "No, praise God."
