I think i would be interested in the standard bioethical issues if i were Jewish living in Hitler's time.
Thats actually a very interesting chapter in bioethics. There is an issue that I remember about Nazi experiments on jewish prisoners in Concentration camps. I dont remember the specifics, but apparently the Nazis had experimented on the prisoners in realtion to atmosphereic tolerances, cold and heat tolerances, etc. Pretty much everything was tested on these people. But there was an issue which was brought up around ten years ago as to whether or not modern medicine should use the advances gained by the Nazi experiments. For example, the Nazi's had needed a way to combat hypothermia or something like that because they needed to find out how to quickly save downed pilots in the cold nordic oceans. Well, they found out how to do it, and at a substantial loss of human life in the process. The issue comes nowadays becuase apparently the method discovered by the Nazi's is far more efficient than what we have now. So do we use a discovery made at the cost of many lives to save potentially many more?
There are some very rare circumstances in which the Nazi medical experiments generated information that just never would have been learned otherwise. Like how many seconds it takes to produce full thickness burns in water of 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 degrees C after immersion of a limb. Or the time it takes to die from hypothermia or to acquire frostbite at various temperatures. The practical medical merits of this information are not zero, but they're also not exactly breakthroughs. But the other 99% of the Nazis' medical experiments were either garbage pseudoscience or experiments in mass sterilization or euthanasia techniques. Furthermore, even by the standards of the day they used abysmally poor research design -- taking marasmic, starving people and conducting uncontrolled clinical trials would have almost no applicability beyond the study population. To say nothing of the complete absence of consent or of pain relief. Not that it mattered -- the subjects who survived the experiments were all gassed or shot anyway. The Nazi doctors were in many cases professed sadists who in addition to their experiments took part in selection for the gas chambers, and were lock-step Nazi idealogues. Their experiments were a vehicle of cruelty and power FAR beyond their scientific design.
Certailny use the advances made by the Nazi's experiments, (i hope you mean the results and not practices), what i mean is only if it does not cost more human life, (none whatsoever), as it's already done and why not make use of it especially if it helps, (but as I said as long as noone dies), the only issues here are with your own consience. But if you were to use more human life remember do unto others what you would have done to you [IMG]file:///C:/Users/Jerry/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.gif[/IMG] Surely there has to be other ways. I do understand why we tested on animals, (although not morally agree with it), in order for the greater good but i would at least make every effort to look for alternatives, it is only by pure chance that you are not in said sacrificed life's shoes so i ask you would you be willing to die for the greater good if there was an alternative, how do you know there is not another way? I think it would be nice to be asked do you mind being sacrifced for the greater good out of respect, it's not nice to take someone's life in any sense, (murder, sacrifice, manslaughter etc), because you havent got the right only in extreme self-defence.
Nazi Data on Hypothermia Termed Unscientific - The New York Times Probably one of the more horrible aspects, at least in terms of the Nazi hypothermia experiments is (like you had mentioned about poor research design) is that the data collected was scientifically unsound. So the human sacrifice, which was apparently more than 300 people, was essentially for nothing. But I think that I would be of the opinion not to use the research gained by these horrible means... even if it meant deriving some greater medical discovery for the data collected. Also, I agree that any "scientific" advancement from Nazi experimentation seems to have always had a degree of sadism in it. Especially considering the nature of some of these scientists, like Dr. Rascher.
How can you be permitting the means when it is already been permitted?
This stuff is hard to read, and the more you know about it -- and particularly if you grow up in a family that survived and witnessed it -- the more horrible you realize it was. But how can we talk about ethics without having a framework? Modernity has taught us that our (humanity's) capacity for cruelty is worse than our imagination and reason would ever predict.
not to change the subject... but i've decided to take your suggestion aedes and write about the commmercialization of prescription medication. to my enjoyment there are lots of articles about it out there which equals easy research. yay!
Does having such an enormous capacity prevent one creating a framework. Even though it is worse than we would ever predict does that actually stop us trying to create a framework that we can make ethics work?

Folks on this board have spoken about issues with the 3160. Small Janome dealer selling them swears no one has ever had any problems...that she is aware of. I am a little concerned about purchasing it. A large dealer has shown me a Necchi EX30 and it is similar. It has 30 versus 60 stitches but a newer type bobbin cover and magnifying glass in front of needle. Plus you select stitches with push of a button. Anyone have experience owning one? Searched in reviews and did not see any. Sewed some on it and liked it a lot. Thanks in advance.
Another thread of interest about this machine - EX30 thread chart and this one! Necchi is back... I think this machine is cool - I love it - in UK and AUS for two I know f it is marketed as a Janome as well. Same machine.

My Bag
0My Favorites
0J Brand proves that the denim movement toward straight and skinny is hardly a trend. With an absolutely clean, anonymous back pocket and sophisticated lines, these jeans are already a classic set for the ages.
I have these velvet leggings in a size 27. They are absolutely lovely!! The fit is very good - no bagginess at knees or bottom. The colour (Espresso) is great, a really nice dark brown - not at all chocolatey! The velvet is quite stiff to start with but does soften, however, not so they lose their shape. The length is also good - they come to my ankle (I am 5'6.5"). I have been wearing them with some brown suede Ugg Clogs which have a 2" heel and my legs look very long and slim (according to my sons!!). The only thing I would complain about are the belt loops! They are very narrow. Wider to fit normal size belts please J Brand! I would definitely recommend!

LUDLOW - Selectman Aaron Saunders proposed allowing establishments in town with liquor licenses to begin serving at 10 a.m. on Sundays instead of noon, but the proposal was defeated by a 3 to 2 vote of the board.
State legislation now allows the earlier start time, Saunders said, in what he called a repeal of "antiquated blue laws."
"I am not sure this law is antiquated," Selectmen Chairman William E. Rooney said. He added that he is "not a fan" of serving alcohol Sunday mornings at 10 a.m.
Rooney added, "If the business owners were lobbying for this, I would consider it."
Members of the Board of Selectmen said they have had no calls from any businesses lobbying for the earlier time.
Saunders said he does not feel the restriction should be kept when state law does not require it.
"I want to make the start time consistent with the 10 a.m. start time permitted every other day," Saunders said.
Selectman Jason Barroso said he would favor giving businesses the option of serving alcohol starting at 10 a.m. on Sundays.
Selectmen said liquor license owners have been notified of the change in the state law.
"I am hearing no hue and cry for this," Rooney said.
Selectmen said some businesses may appreciate the later start time since they typically serve alcohol into the early hours of Sunday morning.
"I feel comfortable with not extending the Sunday morning hours," Selectman Antonio Dos Santos said.
Selectman John DaCruz said he has had no requests from business owners to move up the time to 10 a.m.
Voting in favor of keeping the noon serving hours on Sundays were Rooney, Dos Santos and DaCruz. Voting in opposition were Saunders and Barroso.
Sunday morning alcohol rejected by Ludlow selectmen

The Curriculum Subcommittee will meet on Tuesday, October 14, 2008, at 1:30 in SAC 275 to review the Program Change Proposals contained in this list. (Response due to Academic Affairs by noon on October 14 , 2008) |
Program Proposals |
Chemistry |
NEW PROGRAM Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry Justification: Biochemistry is an expanding area of Chemistry both locally and nationally, the growth of which is reflected in the Sacramento region's burgeoning biotechnology industry. The Chemistry department at CSUS currently offers a BA in Chemistry with Biochemistry concentration (BA/BC). This degree was developed in the early 90's in recognition of the need to incorporate Biochemistry into the Chemistry curriculum. The BA/BC degree is popular, with 40% of Chemistry majors consistently choosing this degree option. We believe the time has come to offer a BS in Biochemistry. Due to its more rigorous content, we believe our graduates will be better prepared for post-graduate study and for industry jobs if they have BS, rather than BA, degrees. In a survey recently conducted of Chemistry and Biology students, nearly 80% of respondents would choose the BS in Biochemistry over the BA in Chemistry with Biochemistry concentration or the BS in Biology. An evaluation of programs around the CSU revealed that our current BA/BC degree is close to those offered within the CSU system for a BS in Biochemistry, and that formulating a new BS Biochemistry degree would require relatively minor changes. The hiring of 4 new biochemistry faculty in the last decade facilitates the offering of this degree. Therefore, we propose to add the BS in Biochemistry as an option for Chemistry students. The main curriculum changes involve the addition of three existing Chemistry courses: upper division organic and physical chemistry labs (CHEM 125 and CHEM 141) and one upper division Chemistry elective. We will retain the three units of upper division Biology electives and add Genetics (BIOL 184) as a required core course. The addition of BIOL 1 and BIOL 2 in place of BIOL 10 reflects changes in the introductory biology offered by the Department of Biological Sciences. The math (MATH 030 and 031) and physics (PHYS 005A and 005B) tracks for the BS Biochemistry will remain the same as those for the BA with Biochemistry concentration. |
Geography |
SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE Justification: The Geography Department is proposing to make our existing minor more flexible. In its new form, it can be more fully tailored to a variety of student interests and can more readily complement diverse majors. Under this proposal, a student largely interested in GIS will be able to take most of her/his geography minor units in that area, while a student focused on physical geography, human geography, or urban geography and planning will be able to focus on those. While every minor will not be as broadly educated in geography as under our old version, those who prefer greater specialization will be able to choose it. We also are proposing to reduce the required number of units from 21 to 18, which is (1) sufficient for a minor, (2) more readily completed, and (3) consistent with the minors of our sister CSUS departments of Geology and Anthropology and with numerous Geography minors in the CSU system. |

Make a beam
O.K. guys, I need some advice here for a project. A "pergola(?)" that was built two years ago and some of the lumber was not even PT. A beam made of multiple pieces of 2 x 8 with a total span of 17 ft. has now rotted to the point that some of the 2 x 6 lumber which was placed on top is falling through this beam. The 2 x 8, non PT, no staggered joints, nailed together, has to be replaced. My first thought was LVL or gluelam, BUT-this is certainly exposed to the elements. I'm wondering if I use 2 x 10's x 20 ft. long (I can't get 18 ft.), trim to length, use three (3) pieces, use an appropriate construction adhesive between them, and lag screws to hold them together, would this be sufficient? Overkill, would be fine with me. The customer has stated they DO NOT want to hear "tear it all down and start over". They really got burnt on the original job. Any suggestions, please? Thanks, David

LVL isn't an option for weather exposed applications. Gluelam is, but you'd have to get treated gluelams. Treated PSL is available in most markets but it is ugly as heck.
You'd be better off making a built-up beam from treated 2x10's or whatever dimension is needed for the span. In an outdoor application the glue's probably a waste of time. Don't use lags! You need to use hot-dipped galvanized bolts. Carriage bolts with nuts and washers are appropriate. A common bolting pattern is to put the bolts about 16-24" o.c., with a row on top and a row on bottom, staggered. If this is just a pergola with minimal or no roof load on it you can get away with less bolts. As for span, I'm hoping you're not spanning 18' if this is an actual load-bearing beam. If so, a post is going to need to be added mid-span. If it is just for looks then go for it. Advertisement |

No option to go solid with a 4x or 6x? Those pergolas look disproportionate to my eye when the spans are so long, beams so inadequate, and sagging has occurred. Does the owner expect you to levitate the cross members above thin-air and place a replacement beam atop the posts? In my view you will be taking it down and starting over only reusing the posts and cross-members. You could do piece by piece replacement of the layers of 2x8, but that would be tedious. I concur with placing a mid-span post if you're not going to up-size the beam. Consult a span table, then make a recommendation to your guy given the published data. If you purchase a few dozen hex-cap screws(bolts), pre-drill and impact them on, etc... That would be less attractive to me than paying a couple hundred bucks for a ready-to-install byoo-teaful solid beam. In his position, he's going to pay for your labor OR pay for a better beam.
This advice might be worth less than what you paid for it... |

As I sat writing the first posting I could "see" what I had and where I was going with it, but missed details in writing my request. kc--all fasteners used in this project will be hot-dipped galvanized, Thanks for the reminder. As far as "Load Bearing", that is one reason I posted here, of course there is the load of the (what do we call those) 2 x 6's which will come from the house out to this beam. These will be 14 ft. long, on 6" center with the rebuild (per the previous build). There are now six (6) 4 x 4 post holding up this gosh-awful 17 ft. pseudo beam which has started separating bad. The HO wants to remove all 4 x 4's they can and still support the Pergola. I'm replacing the two end post with 6 x 6, the beam will sit on top of these (and be attached to), then the "joist" (?) will sit on the beam. I'm looking at using three (3) runs of the 2x10's on this 17 ft. span. The HO wants 1 x 1's placed perpendicular to the joist on top for additional shading, so the 2 x 6's, and the 1 x 1's will be the load. How much shade can you get from 1x1's? NailedIt--the current Pergola is coming completely down as all joints have started to pull apart anyway. This project would be easier if I could talk them into letting me tear it down completely and start all over, placing the current lumber at the side of the road with a "FREE" sign on it. Span tables I have access to do not show using 6x6 across this span as an option, I like the LVL but exposure ruled it out, I'm going to call about treated gluelam Monday as I also have used and like those. Thanks, guys, David

I was referring to pressure treated solid timber 6x12 or 4x12 beams, not posts. They are commonly available in my Texas hometown, though I'd probably have to have them special ordered here in Indiana.
Attached is photo, on the far right you see a 6x beam. These particular beams are for sale on Craigs list for $100 each. I've built that same kind of structure using 1x2 spaced 1-1/2", 2x2 spaced 1-1/2", 2x4 spaced 3-1/2". I like the 2x4 best because they hold up better and take larger sized fasteners. BTW... when I build decks they're built like brick xxxxhouses. I like to use sonotube formed concrete piers on footings or 6x, 8x, 10x posts with 1 or 2 size larger beams/joists than called for. This necessarily drives the material costs up, but I try to allow for that in labor if that's an issue with the customer. The 8-year-old 1.3MP digital pic of the "pergola" I've attached was built with the intention of perhaps adding a translucent poly panel atop or some other roofing in the future. I hope your project goes well for you and your customer appreciates your efforts.

Good Ann. Dependable Ann. Invisible Ann. No more. It is no longer enough to be Jasha Wilder's top-notch assistant. She has been in love with her boss for years, and the urgent fax from the Ukraine is just the excuse she needs to drive to his home for a private weekend. The wine, the clothes—she has it all planned. But finding out that Jasha isn't only all man but also all wolf puts a major damper on her perfect date. Even worse, the fax is a cover. His family from the Old Country has found him and is looking to bring the rogue back into the fold to strengthen their deal with the devil. If theWilders won't yield, they will die. Dodd kicks off her new Darkness Chosen series with a bang. A multilayered heroine and a sizzling-hot hero give readers plenty of emotional—and physical—action, and the relentless game of hunter and prey adds an adrenaline ride for good measure.

Dodd dodgy about reform deadline By: Victoria McGrane January 13, 2010 04:38 AM EDT
His announcement not to seek reelection not even a week old, Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) says he'd still like to get a financial reform bill ready for committee consideration by the end of the month.
Not many people following the issue believe that's realistic.
"I don't think this is on the fast track," said one financial services lobbyist. "But it is on the track."
In short, it seems no one really knows — even those inside the meetings grinding away on the legislation — what the timeline for the Senate bill might be. But the consensus among industry players remains that the political stars are aligned and that Dodd, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, and its ranking Republican, Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby, stand a very good chance of producing a bipartisan bill.
The slow pace has supporters on the left growing anxious, especially since many of them had been urging Congress to beef up consumer protections on mortgages and other financial products for years before the latest financial crisis.
"If, given what's occurred and given all the impetus for something needing to be done, we couldn't do something in this past year or two, I don't know what it's going to take," said John Taylor, president and CEO of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition.
Dodd himself suggested in an interview Monday on CNBC that a late-January markup isn't that likely. He's tried to keep the process moving forward by setting deadlines, he said, "but they're fluid deadlines because I'm more interested in the product we're producing than meeting some arbitrary timeline."
"Now, obviously, at some point, you have to move forward even if there are some disagreements," he added. "But we're getting very close, in my view, on big questions, fundamental questions."
There's a lot of wiggle room in the statement, though. Lobbyists say that significant differences between key senators have yet to be bridged, pointing out that agreement on principles can still be a long way from agreement on specific legislative text.
Several lobbyists also told POLITICO that the media read too much into a pre-recess statement from Dodd and Shelby that declared they'd made "meaningful progress" on financial reform negotiations and that they hoped "to resolve the remaining issues before we reconvene in January."
Health care and then the much-needed Senate break made it impossible for the Senate Banking Committee to make great leaps forward. "The tough decisions require member involvement. The members were either not focused on [financial reform] or not here," said one financial services lobbyist.
The bipartisan working groups set up by Dodd to tackle the stickiest issues are proceeding, though no one is offering substantive details. Staff for Sens. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) and Judd Gregg (R-N.H.) met Monday, for instance, to work on the derivatives portion of the bill. And Dodd and Shelby staffers have been conferring for the past couple of weeks. One informed speculator said a markup could begin in late February or March, with floor debate by Memorial Day, though floor timing depends on how long it takes Congress to deal with the health care endgame and which other agenda items pop up. The uncertainty has those on the outside parsing every word for hints of progress — or lack of it. So when Dodd discussed the most politically controversial piece of the legislation — the creation of a so-called consumer financial protection agency — his exact language was noticed. He did not use the phrase "consumer financial protection agency," the Obama administration's name for the stand-alone consumer watchdog it's proposed. Instead, he noted the need for a "strong independent consumer protection function" in the overhaul legislation. "How that's structured is obviously the subject of significant debate within our committee," Dodd said. It's the latest signal that Senate Democrats could give in to Republican demands that the legislation not create a separate agency for consumer protection. That would open up Senate Democrats to some harsh attacks from the left, as consumer, labor and civil rights groups have made a stand-alone CFPA their top priority. AARP Executive Vice President Nancy LeaMond wrote Dodd and Shelby last week. "On behalf of our more than 40 million members nationally and over 600,000 in Connecticut and 460,000 in Alabama," she said, "we are writing to reiterate AARP's strong support for an independent and robust consumer financial protection agency. ... We urge you to retain the CFPA as one of the key elements of financial regulatory reform." And AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said Monday in a speech at the National Press Club: "We must ... reregulate our financial system — so that finance is the servant of the real economy and not its master, so that we have an independent consumer financial protection agency and so that we never again take the public's money and use it to rescue bank executives and stockholders. I'd like to commend President [Barack] Obama's leadership in insisting on a viable, strong and independent consumer protection agency — which is crucial to real financial reform."

The Surgery will be closed on:
Saturday 23rd May and Whit Bank Holiday Monday, 25th May.
If you require urgent medical attention or advice and cannot wait until the practice is open, please phone the NHS 111 service. Calls to this number are free from landlines or mobile phones (although the mobile will require a minimum of 1p credit to be in place.)
999 should still be used in an emergency, for example when somebody is seriously injured or there is risk to life.
Our dispensary is open between 8.30 & 10.30am on Saturdays.
Check here for any planned changes to these hours.
What can you do to help Milton Abbas Surgery?
Important information on General practice & your GP
Tips to get the most of your appointment
Appointment Booking Tel: - 01258 880210
Please make sure you are aware of where your appointment is, Milton Abbas Surgery or our branch surgery at Milborne St. Andrew.
What to do if you feel your problem is too urgent to await the next booked appointment?
If you have an urgent need you will be seen on the same day. Speak to the receptionist, giving them a brief account of your problem. The receptionist will ask one of the doctors if you can be fitted in for an appointment on the same day. If there is a doctor available the receptionist will speak to the doctor immediately. If no doctor is available the receptionist will speak to a doctor at the earliest opportunity and telephone you with a reply.
How much information should you give the receptionist if you feel your problem needs to be dealt with urgently?
You should always tell the receptionist as much detail as possible about yourself or another patient with chest pain, breathing difficulties, children with a rash and or a high temperature or any situation that you feel is an emergency and needs urgent medical attention.
Onviously you reserve the right not to reveal any information to the receptionist if you are not comfortable doing so. However, please bear in mind that all of our reception staff have received training, and have signed documents agreeing to abide by the practice confidentiality policy. Information will help reception staff to deal with your problem efficiently and appropriately.
How can you speak to a doctor on the telephone?
If you feel that your problem can be dealt with by telephone you will be able to book the same appointment as a routine face to face consultation. There are some symptoms that doctors are unable to deal with by telephone. If you are in doubt please ask the reception staff.
Choosing the most appropriate person to see
Many members of our nursing team are able to assess and give advice on many conditions such as urine infections, rashes, skin conditions and infections. If they are unable to help with your specific problem they will either speak to a doctor on your behalf or ask a doctor to give an opinion.
A routine appointment with any doctor
If you need a routine appointment and do not have a preference for a specific doctor you will often be able to be seen within the next few days. Please remember that all doctors do have access to your records and will discuss any long term problems with your usual doctor if necessary. Therefore, there should be no problem if your usual or preferred doctor is not available within the timeframe that you need to be seen.
A routine appointment with a specific doctor
If you wish to see a specific doctor for a non urgent appointment you can book this in advance. Often requests to see a specific doctor can not be met on the same day or even within a few days. Therefore, we suggest that you plan non urgent routine appointments in advance and give us as much notice as possible.
If possible please try to telephone reception before 10:30 if you require a home visit.
A doctor or nurse may phone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse, or indeed arrange a hospital attendance.
Home visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability.
Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the surgery.
The surgery supports the local Neighbour Car Scheme which is a volunteer service for those who don't have transport. You can register with the scheme for a £5 registration fee, there after you will be charged 45p per mile for journeys to the surgery. To join this scheme contact the transport co-ordinator Nigel Hodder on 01258 881709.
We are a teaching practice. From time to time the doctor will have either a final year medical student or an F2 doctor sitting in with them during the consultation. If you would rather they were not present during your consultation, please make the receptionist or doctor aware.

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Selected Papers from FGIT 2010)
With the widespread use of identification systems, establishing authenticity with sensors has become an important research issue. Among the schemes for making authenticity verification based on information security possible, reversible data hiding has attracted much attention during the past few years. With its characteristics of reversibility, the scheme is required to fulfill the goals from two aspects. On the one hand, at the encoder, the secret information needs to be embedded into the original image by some algorithms, such that the output image will resemble the input one as much as possible. On the other hand, at the decoder, both the secret information and the original image must be correctly extracted and recovered, and they should be identical to their embedding counterparts. Under the requirement of reversibility, for evaluating the performance of the data hiding algorithm, the output image quality, named imperceptibility, and the number of bits for embedding, called capacity, are the two key factors to access the effectiveness of the algorithm. Besides, the size of side information for making decoding possible should also be evaluated. Here we consider using the characteristics of original images for developing our method with better performance. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that has the ability to provide more capacity than conventional algorithms, with similar output image quality after embedding, and comparable side information produced. Simulation results demonstrate the applicability and better performance of our algorithm.Keywords:

- 09 Apr 2015 Susanne Austria
- " Clean, spacious, and nicely located (nearby cool young neighborhood with cheap eats). Pretty quiet and chill. Lockers are large and WiFi works fine. Some of the staff is very friendly and helpful while others seem bothered if you approach them with questions. Overall positive experience for independent travels who don't plan on staying in the hostel other than to sleep. "
- 23 Mar 2015 Anonymous USA
- " This hostel has the potential to be a fantastic hostel - they do extremely well with cleanliness and location. However, to be a great hostel there has to be a fostering of atmosphere. This was wholly not the case. Often, you would only hang out with people from your own party because there really isn't any place to congregate as a group. Lastly, the deal breaker for me was the fact that the kitchen was largely unusable throughout the day + you had to be out of your room from 10 am to 3 pm. "

- " Great front desk staff. It's not a five star hotel, but you get what you pay for. Nice complimentary breakfast, clean room, and fantastic location within walking distance of many of the major attractions of Rome. Will definitely recommend to other friends who pass through Rome in their travels! "

- " It wasn't clear there were two locations which made finding it with GPS kind of confusing, but in the end the location was extremely convenient. The location of the common room was not good for us in the room next to it. Loud talking and voices carried through the walls and conversations that lasted into the wee hours of the night meant poor sleep. The basics were all covered and I'd probably stay there again just for the convenience to Metro and train station. "
- 19 Dec 2014 Anonymous Canada
- " amazing free breakfast pastries, safe and central location, free pizza parties during the week, good wifi in common areas (bad wifi in rooms). As a solo traveler it was easy to meet ppl and from strong friendships -- thank god for those pizza parties! Definitely recommend this place for its location, perks, and the good ppl who stay here. "
- 06 Oct 2014 Benjamin USA
- " The common area was very small. It wasnt a major problem, but a minor inconvenience and very strange that much of the facilities had the electric power shut off between 8 am and 8 pm. The place was ok other than that, but I would look for another place next time. "

It seems like many people are under the impression that the only way to become a better runner is to become a stronger runner. You know… no pain, no gain? Chi Running is unique to most other training programs in that we use a mind-body approach, not just the purely physical approach. So, on those days when you don't feel like pushing your body, you can still get a great workout by using your mind in a productive way. Here are four workouts that engage your mind and improve your running without challenging your body's limits or requiring extra physical exertion. You can do these workouts at any pace that feels comfortable and still come away feeling like you just had a great workout.

Running is a high injury sport, but does not have to be. Learn to listen to your body, practice good running technique and follow the quieter voice of common sense to make every run safe and enjoyable.
Here are some common mistakes I see people make.
Posted by Danny Dreyer on Tue Jan 7th, 2014, 15 comments
How much extra effort are you exerting now that could be reduced if you spent time practicing good technique? And, watching and listening to your body? What if you held less tension in your body? What if you weren't toeing off, over-striding or running or walking too upright? What if your breath was deeper and more relaxed and your heart wasn't pounding so hard? What if you could minimize all the misaligned movement and over-exertion that leaves you wiped out at the end of your workout or injured at the end of the week? Ask yourself what that would feel like?

Finishing fast is certainly doable, but you'll need to reorient your mind to the idea that it's not about pushing yourself at the end of a race. It's about training yourself to create the conditions for speed to happen by making an important adjustment to your training habits – progressive pacing.

I like to arrive at a runner's high as a byproduct of running in a technically accurate, yet highly relaxed way; using the optimal blend of mind and body to do only what is required and nothing more...
Move, live, and eat well with bi-monthly Chi fitness tips, wholesome recipes, and special offers.
About three weeks ago I had a very strong memory of what it felt like to run when I was 7. The freedom, the exhilaration, the laughter. What happened in the intervening 41 years?

Indices : Type Technologies : Multiple Master
Multiple Master (MM) fonts were originated in the 1980s by Adobe as an extension of their PostScript font format. This font format was capable of generating variations of different fonts based on axes and masters. A weight axis might change the weight from light to bold. An additional axis for width might change condensed to extended, Users could dial in anything between the masters' extremes. The idea was to let the user select the degree of weight or width, &c. The maximum number of axes allowed by the format was four, i.e. sixteen principal masters.
After several years of production, Adobe abandoned the concept as an end product. However, MultipleMaster (MM) axis are used today by type designers in programs like FontLab to help generate variations of weight, &c. It is now mostly an interpolation tool and assumes some degree of cleanup by the designer afterwards but much less than starting from scratch for each variation.

Sexual fantasy is like the old soundbite from the Saturday Night Live show – "I'm Chevy Chase, and you're not". Or to put it within the context of this situation, everyone's getting IT except you. That should make your day go a lot smoother.
There are seven thoroughly implausible but reasonably entertaining vignettes on the Erotic Fantasies tape. You've seen a few of these interludes played out time and again; for instance, the "Table for Two" skit which features a guy and a girl shooting pool (guess what happens?); or the "Road Service" sketch – this time it's the guy whose automobile breaks down, and he gets his radiator hose checked out.
Four stars goes to "Curio Shoppe" both for the depth of its stylized value and allure. Overall, a highly developed theme tape, with an attractive cast and more-than-competent visual moments.
Corinna Harney is the 1992 Playmate of the Year.She falls into the cutesy, girl-next-door mold, so the fact that Corinna hails from Las Vegas is kind of surprising. Don't all women in Vegas go about 6'4" with 80 inch breasts? There are some choice moments on this tape including a dazzling visual overlay of Corinna dancing over the neon nighttime of the strip. In fact, Vegas is showcased almost as much as Corinna. A visual interlude featuring Tylyn John rounds out the show. Good entry if you've become a collector of the Playboy line.

Falco Lombardi
"Personally, I prefer the air!" Falco Lombardi is Fox McCloud's right hand man, and second in command of Star Fox. He, like Fox, is from the Star Fox series. He has a very mysterious past, which he prefers not to talk about. What is known about Falco is that he used to be in a gang, but bailed out to join the Star Fox team. Falco leaves the Star Fox team on occasions, and always reappears when needed. He is the best pilot on the team, and due to his flying skills he has a bit of a friendly rivalry with, Fox. He has a very laid back attitude and is smart mouthed. Despite this, nothing gets in the way of Falco and Fox's friendship. ContentsHistory[edit]Club Nintendo[edit]Falco made a brief appearance in the Club Nintendo comic "Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit". He is watching the Olympics together with Fox McCloud and Peppy Hare. Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
Falco is a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Melee. He is, however, unlockable, and is unlocked by beating 100-Man Melee, and then beating Falco. Falco's moves are exactly the same as Fox's, except for that his Blaster has more of a forceful effect, and isn't rapid-fire, and his Reflector attack blasts people upwards instead of sideways. He also has a longer reach, and possesses the most effective spike in the game. Falco also appears in Stage 6 of Adventure Mode. In this, he, Slippy, and Peppy will appear in their Arwings in the second half of the battle. They will proceed to shoot the player and Fox. Additionally, if Falco is unlocked, he will sometimes replace Fox in the second battle, forcing Fox into the Arwing. Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
Falco returns in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, with a different moveset this time around. His Special Moves have also taken a slight change. To unlock him, the player has to play 50 brawls, complete 100-Man Brawl (much like how the player unlocks him in Melee), or get him to join the player's team in The Subspace Emissary. His voice actors in Super Smash Bros. Melee are Hisao Egawa, during battle, and Ben Cullum during the Stage 6 cutscene or Smash Taunt. Ben Cullum also voiced Falco in Star Fox Adventures. In both games, his initial jump is the best of all characters. He is also one of the two clone characters from Super Smash Bros. Melee to return as playable characters; the other one being Ganondorf. Role in the Subspace Emissary[edit]In the Subspace Emissary, he appears after Bowser shoots Diddy Kong (and uses him and some Shadow Bugs to create False Diddy Kong) and almost shoots Fox McCloud. Falco comes in with Arwing and jumps out with his guns to shoot and destroy Bowser's Dark Cannon (causing Bowser to retreat) and sees False Diddy Kong, Fox revives Diddy Kong and they all fight the evil clone. After defeat, Falco attempts to leave but Diddy Kong tries to tells him Donkey Kong has been kidnapped and turned into a trophy. Falco however ignores him, so Diddy Kong grabs Falco and drags him, just as he did with Fox when he ignored Diddy Kong. After Falco understands, he jumps inside his Arwing so they can follow Donkey Kong. Falco drops Diddy Kong off on the plane Donkey Kong is on, and he (with Captain Olimar and Captain Falcon) rescues Donkey Kong. Falco flies by in his Arwing giving a thumbs up at Diddy Kong. After this, he wasn't seen again until the battle at the Battleship Halberd Bridge, where he joins Fox, Princess Peach, Princess Zelda, Lucario, and Solid Snake in defeating Duon. Once all of the teams unite, they enter Subspace, where they are defeated by Tabuu, with Falco being among the victims. King Dedede, however, comes to his aid with the help of Luigi and Ness, who were revived by Dedede's badges and are helping him revive most of the others. The newly revived Falco then heads with the others to stop Tabuu at the Great Maze once and for all. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U[edit]This section is referring to an upcoming or recently released game. When the game is released, or more information about this subject is found, this section may need major rewriting. Remove this only when the changes have been applied.
Falco returns as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, with his moveset being largely unchanged from its Super Smash Bros. Brawl incarnation. In the Nintendo 3DS version, Falco is unlocked by either completing Classic Mode without the use of continues or by playing 20 matches, then defeating Falco in a 1-stock match on the Corneria stage. In the Wii U version, he is unlocked by either completing Classic Mode for the first time or by playing 10 matches, then defeating Falco in a 1-stock match on the Orbital Gate Assault stage. Special Moves[edit]Blaster[edit]
Blaster is the standard special move used by Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, and Wolf O'Donnell in the Super Smash Bros. series. Once used, Fox or Falco will bring out their Blaster, and shoot the opponent. Unlike Fox's Blaster however, Falco's lacks rapid-fire. However, it can make opponents flinch during the process. Falco can fire a barrage of lasers from a distance to give the opponent a hard time approaching him. The move returns in Super Smash Bros. Brawl with the same effects. Falco's lasers are blue, unlike Fox's, whose are red. Additionally, in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the laser from Falco's blaster travels longer than Fox's. Falco Phantasm[edit]
Falco Phantasm is one of Falco's special moves in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is executed by tilting to the side, then pressing the special move button. Falco will proceed to race across the screen at light speed, damaging any player that Falco runs into. Although the attack is not that powerful, it is the perfect move for getting through large amounts of enemies. However, using this attack near an edge is dangerous, considering that he will just run off the edge. A similar move is Fox's Fox Illusion attack. Although Falco Phantasm strikes more quickly, it covers less distance. This move can be canceled to fool opponents though, and it's also usable as a recovery move if Falco is above a ledge. If this move ends in mid-air, Falco will be put into a helpless state. However, in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, it does not put him in a helpless state in mid-air and it doesn't run off edges, just like Fox's Fox Illusion. On a side note, when this move is used in mid-air, it acts as a weak Meteor Smash if it hits anyone. Fire Bird[edit]
Fire Bird is one of Falco's moves in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is basically the same as Fire Fox, except that it is a bit stronger and has less reach. It is used by pressing Up + the special move button. Falco will then hold in one spot, with fire surrounding him, and once charged enough, players must hold the direction they want Falco to move. He will fly in that direction, until the attack wears out. It can be used as a helpful third jump. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the move can deliver multiple weak hits, instead of one strong hit. Falco must be careful when using this move, as he will be vulnerable during the charging (although in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the charge flames can damage opponents). If finished in the air, Falco will be put into a helpless state. Reflector[edit]
Reflector is a move used by Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, and Wolf O'Donnell in the Super Smash Bros. series. It is known informally as a "shine". It is done by pressing down on , and pressing the special move button at the same time. Once done, Fox or Falco will use a deflector shield, which can last for a limited time. It is only useful once the attack starts, and will not do anything if it is kept out too long. Reflector can be used to deflect projectile weapons back at opponents, or it can be used to hurt foes head on. In order to do that, players must be very close to the opponent, and then activate the attack. This will send the foe flying slightly in one direction, but it doesn't have enough power for an instant KO. It is more efficient when Fox or Falco jump over the opponent, and activate it upon landing. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Falco's Reflector works exactly like Fox's, except for that the move sends foes flying upwards with low knockback when activated near them, rather than at a low angle like Fox's does. This means that the move can be used in aerial combos. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl however, he'll kick his Reflector at opponents. Landmaster[edit]
Landmaster is the Final Smash of Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, and Wolf O'Donnell in the game, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Next to the Arwing, the Landmaster Tank is the most powerful weapon the Star Fox team has in the Star Fox series. When one of them collects the Smash Ball, the Landmaster Tank will appear, and they will hop inside it. Opposing players can jump on top of it, but this can be a bad move, as they can roll them off the tank. The jump button allows the Landmaster Tank to hover, tilting downwards causes it to roll around once, which can get players off the tank, and damage them severely, and the attack button fires the very powerful cannon, which can cause massive damage to players hit, possibly an instant KO. If a player is standing on the cannon while it is being blasted, the player will be blasted also. The tank is indestructible, but it is very difficult to turn the tank around; the player must flick , to turn it, which is actually rather slow. Falco's Landmaster packs less power than Fox's Landmaster, but it can stay airborne for a longer time period. This can be useful when sending foes off-screen for a KO. On a side note, Falco has never used the Landmaster in the Star Fox series. Profiles and statistics[edit]Super Smash Bros. Melee Tropies[edit]
Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]Snake's Codec[edit]Note: this is the only codec conversation where Snake is given information from someone other than his team members, due to Falco's own teammate, Slippy Toad, hacking the channel (which does not occur for Fox's codec conversation).

Simons, the renowned family-owned fashion retailer from Quebec City, will unveil a permanent in-store art installation called Simons Aurora at its new West Edmonton Mall location on Wednesday, February 20, 2013. Designed by Canadian artist and architect Philip Beesley, Simons Aurora is a canopy of crystalline columns that uses sensory mechanisms to respond to human movement, creating a gently swelling and rippling ocean of light.
Simons stores are compelling, original environments that inspire customers through fashion, art and architecture. The West Edmonton Mall location was designed by award-winning firm Figure3 and realized by Lemay Michaud Architecture Design. The exterior showcases vertical, twisted titanium blades that create dynamic arches and a 30-foot glass cube built into the corner of the building that shines like a beacon – day and night.
"We continuously challenge ourselves to build stores that go beyond the norm. We want to inspire and delight our customers, not only with our fashion, but with the surroundings, making the Simons experience unique and memorable," said CEO Peter Simons. "Philip Beesley's Simons Aurora is a stunning piece of sculptural architecture that reflects our shared appreciation of beauty and art."
Inspired by the aurora borealis, Simons Aurora is composed of laser-cut acrylic, mylar and custom glassware. Suspended from the ceiling of the store's north atrium, the installation is 68 feet long, 26 feet wide, and has more than 40 electronically active columns of varying lengths. Philip Beesley's team used a new generation of electronics that allows a highly complex, intelligent digital fabric to create responsive chain reactions of light.
"We were excited by the idea of working with the Simons family which has a longstanding reputation for creating innovative retail spaces," said Philip Beesley. "The scale and atmosphere of the Edmonton location allowed us to envision a significant installation that would adapt to and be energized by interactions with customers."
The installation of Simons Aurora will take eight members of Philip Beesley's studio and a large team of local artists, designers and students 17 days to complete. The process will be captured on time-lapse video. While Philip Beesley's works reside in many countries around the world, Simons Aurora is Beesley's first permanent installation in Canada.

Ryan Meyer
Ryan Meyer is a senior pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Art Studio. He is concentrating in graphic design, sculpture, and time-based media. He specializes in image manipulation and illustration.
Personal Life
His work as an artist is strongly influenced by his background in the hard sciences. Ryan entered high school expecting to become an engineer or physicist, but shifted focus to art along the way. He primarily enjoys creating sculptures and time-based media, such as pieces in motion, videos, or animations. Outside of his love for art, he enjoys traveling and live music. He is a huge of fan of The White Stripes, and Ryan's favorite live show was performed by Jack White (with his solo band) at Workplay.
Student Life
Ryan recently worked at UAB's literary magazine AURA, where he held positions as a Copy Editor and Art Director. As Art Director for AURA, Ryan touched every part of the magazine from design and layout to choosing and editing submissions for publication. Ryan has also previously interned for the Bottletree Cafe, a live music venue in Birmingham. He created posters for visiting musicians and worked hospitality for the musical talent.
Ryan had two pieces in a student gallery at UAB that was juried by prominent American artist, Trenton Doyle Hancock. He submitted a sculpture and digital print.
Fellow Life
Ryan enjoys learning, and likes to be a jack-of-all-trades. He is appreciative of all the experience he gained as an intern, and seeks to continue learning and growing as a Media Fellow. He is particularly interested in digital filmmaking and sound design.
Ryan is currently working on a project that is very exciting to him. He is creating a tilt-shift video of UAB's campus, and specifically of the demolition of the former student center, Hill University Center. Tilt-shift projects use a technique that changes the perspective of the camera and viewer, often resulting in an image or video that resembles a scene-in-miniature.
Life After UAB
Ryan's focus post-graduation is becoming a successful studio artist. After completing his BFA, he will enter an MFA program. After graduate school, Ryan expects to work as a graphic designer while building his reputation as a studio artist and eventually support himself through his creative endeavors.

Honoring airmen
Veterans' Day is a special day to honor our Nation's brave men and women that have served our
country. As a Dublin High School student, we have learned about the many sacrifices our
Veterans have made though history. This month there will be important opportunities to honor
our Veterans. In Ohio, we should do more to honor the Tuskegee Airmen. We should have a
memorial at the Ohio Statehouse because more people should know about them. The Tuskegee
Airmen were the first African American fighter pilots to serve in the U.S Army Air Corps.
They overcame great barriers such as segregation and discrimination. They became one of the best
fighting groups in the history of World War II.
The Tuskegee Airmen should have a memorial at the Ohio Statehouse for several reasons. First,
to commemorate their dedicated service during and after World War II. Next, to illustrate
their importance in the Civil Rights Movement. Additionally, to help Ohioans to learn about
the Tuskegee Airmen and their connection to Lockbourne Air Field now called Rickenbacker.
Finally, this is the time to to build a memorial because of the popularity of the movie "Red Tails"
and the Ohio State Marching Band's recent tribute at halftime of the Ohio State-Illinois football
The Tuskegee Airmen earned a reputation as the Red Tails for their fighting in the skies over
Europe. Under the leadership of Colonel Benjamin Davis the Tuskegee Airmen protected and
escorted bombing missions against Germany. The Tuskegee Airmen flew P-51 Fighters and "
painted the tails of their planes red, earning the nickname the Red Tails." The U.S. Army Air
Force bombers began to recognize the abilities of and request the Red Tails because of the
skills of their pilots. They knew that their record of protecting the bombers was almost
perfect. The Tuskegee Airmen were recognized for their efforts with 95 Distinguished Flying
Crosses, 14 Bronze Stars, and 8 Purple Hearts.
Eleanor Roosevelt played a crucial role in the desegregation of the U.S Army. When Mrs.
Roosevelt heard about the mistreatment of black soldiers in the army she felt very sad for them.
She would always talk about it. Over and over,Mrs. Roosevelt explained: "What a lot we must do to
make our war a real victory for democracy." Ultimately, the U.S. Armed Forces were
desegregated through the efforts of Mrs. Roosevelt and President Truman.
The leader of the the Tuskegee airmen Benjamin Davis Jr. described it as a "tremendous
moment." Colonel Benjamin O. Davis Jr, a black West Point grad. He started his U.S military career
after graduating 35th out of 276 people in his class. He applied to the U.S Army Air Corps in 1936.
In 1936, the U.S did not have a black unit his application , and therefore, his application was
rejected not based on his knowledge or ability but the color of his skin. Shorty thereafter, many
newspapers jumped on the story claiming that all military units should be open to all African
The Tuskegee Airmen were eventually placed in different states. They moved to Lockbourne Air
Base in Columbus. Most of Columbus' black citizens came out to support the 477th as they arrived at
Lockbourne. Many of the original Tuskegee Airmen lived in Columbus, raised their
families here, and are an important part of the history of Columbus, Ohio, and the United States.
At the Ohio Statehouse, there are many statues that represent people and causes they stood up
for. I think that there is one statue missing from the many in the Statehouse. A statue
representing the Tuskegee Airmen. It is my belief that these men should be in the Statehouse not
only for being the first African American fighter pilots in the U.S Army. But because the Tuskegee
Airmen are also a part of Ohio history.
Jacob Harris, Dublin
Remembering veterans
On this Veteran's Day we remember; we remember the service and sacrifice of our nation's
veterans. The patriotism that is exhibited today is unprecedented in our nation's history. We
should be very proud as a nation and proud of how far we have come in showing gratitude and support
to anyone who is wearing or has worn the uniform and has taken the oath to preserve our liberty and
freedom. We have come a long way from the Vietnam era where many veterans were ashamed or
denigrated for their service. The political environment of the time created negativity toward
military service as Vietnam was considered an unpopular war. Make no mistake, no war should
be considered as popular and all who have ever served should be given our unending gratitude and
respect for their sacrifice. As the leader of a non-profit agency that assists veterans and their
families I am proud and humbled to have the opportunity to help and to give back to all who have
served. So on this national holiday let's not celebrate, but let us all remember those who
were lost in battle; those who have come home changed: physically and mentally; and remember those
families and friends that have also been changed because of the loss of a loved one. And let's
give thanks to all veterans for their hard work in keeping our nation safe and for ensuring
enduring freedom and liberty.

Hiring veterans
Almost 150 years ago, Abraham Lincoln set a national priority to "care for him who shall have
borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan." The Work Opportunity Tax Credit as
expanded by the VOW to Hire Heroes Act of 2011 supports that cause.
The expanded WOTC provides a significant tax credit to employers who hire certain
veterans. The credit is up to $9,600 per qualifying veteran hired by for-profit businesses
(up to $6,240 for tax-exempt organizations).
Employers hiring veterans with service-related disabilities may be eligible for the maximum
tax credit. Other factors affecting the credit amount include the length of the veteran's
employment before being hired, the number of hours the veteran works, and the veteran's wage amount
during the first year of employment.
Veterans must begin work by year's end for the employer to be eligible for the credit.
