By Brad Poole
TUCSON, Arizona (Reuters) - An Iraq war veteran was leading a Republican primary in Arizona on Tuesday to pick a candidate for the seat of former Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was wounded in a shooting spree last year and later resigned.
Jesse Kelly, the leading Republican candidate, narrowly lost to Giffords in the 2010 race that saw her elected to her third term to represent southeast Arizona, including part of Tucson.
The winner of the primary held on Tuesday will compete in a June 12 special election against former Giffords aide Ronald Barber, who was also shot and wounded when a gunman opened fire on Giffords and killed six other people in January 2011.
No one from Barber's Democratic party challenged him, and he has Giffords' endorsement.
Kelly was leading with 37 percent of the vote compared to 24 percent for his closest rival, Martha McSally, with 55 percent of precincts reporting as of 10 p.m. local time, according to figures from the website of the Arizona Secretary of State.
Kelly could not be reached for comment late on Tuesday.
Kelly, a former Marine, works as a construction project manager. McSally is a former Air Force colonel who has flown over Iraq and Afghanistan and was the first American woman pilot to fly combat missions.
The other two candidates, Arizona Senator Frank Antenori and sports broadcaster Dave Sitton, were running third and fourth respectively.
Barber seized on the early voting totals to criticize his possible rival. "Kelly's priorities are the wrong priorities for Southern Arizona's middle class families and seniors," Barber said in a statement.
Giffords' former district leans Republican, with 37 percent of voters registered Republican and 31 percent as Democrats, according to statistics from the website for the Arizona Secretary of State.
Tom Volgy, a professor of government and public policy at the University of Arizona, said he expects Barber will win the special election in June and the later race in November, which will be held in a redrawn district to represent the area for a full two years in Congress.
The shooting galvanized support for Giffords and her former aide, Barber, Volgy said. "That makes it a pretty clear case for Ron Barber winning the elections," he said.
Giffords, a Democrat, stepped down in January to focus on her recovery a year after she was shot in the head at a congressional meet-and-greet event outside a Tucson supermarket.
Jared Loughner, a 23-year-old college droupout, was charged with first-degree murder, the attempted assassination of Giffords and other crimes stemming from the shooting. He pleaded not guilty and was found mentally unfit to stand trial.

La casino revenues about even with Oct 2012
State-licensed casinos in Louisiana won $187.3 million from gamblers in October, about even with a year earlier.
A $6.3 million increase in riverboat casino revenues, to $132.3 million, compensated for drops of more than $2.5 million at the New Orleans land casino and $1.2 million at race track slot machine casinos, according to state figures.
Total casino winnings were up 1.3 percent from October 2012, according to figures compiled by state police and released late last week by the Louisiana Gaming Control Board. Riverboat winnings rose 5 percent, with drops of 4.1 percent at race track casinos and 9 percent at the Harrah's New Orleans land casino.
It was an improvement from September, when the Isle of Capri in Lake Charles was the only state-licensed casino to win more than it had 12 months earlier.
The Shreveport-Bossier market, with six riverboats and a race track, remained the most lucrative at $56.9 million, up 12.7 percent from October 2012, when there were five riverboat casinos. The take rose 3.6 percent in Lake Charles, to $51.7 million. Revenues were down 5.8 percent in Baton Rouge and 8.9 percent in New Orleans, and stable in Opelousas and Morgan City.
The Northwest Louisiana market was boosted by $9.9 million in winnings at the Margaritaville riverboat casino, which opened in June. Both Boomtown's $5 million take and the $10.2 million at Eldorado were down more than $1 million from the previous year - a drop of 21.6 percent for Boomtown and 10.1 percent for Eldorado. Sam's Town took in $7.5 million and DiamondJacks $4.7 million.
The Horseshoe Casino was the only boat in that market to increase its winnings over the year, by 1.5 percent to $14.8 million. Sam's Town's take was down 4.6 percent and DiamondJacks' by less than a percentage point.
Winnings rose nearly 7 percent over the year at L'Auberge Lake Charles, to $27.9 million, and 3.1 percent at the Isle of Capri, to $10.1 million. The Delta Downs slots casino in nearby Vinton took in $13.7 million, down nearly 2 percent from a year earlier.
Evangeline Downs in Opelousas had the only race track casino that didn't see revenues fall over the 12-month period. Its $7.1 million take was about equal to the previous October's. Harrah's Louisiana Downs in Shreveport's $4.6 million in casino revenue was down 14 percent from October 2012, compared to a 5.8 percent slide to $3.7 million at the New Orleans Fair Grounds Race Track.
The Amelia Belle riverboat at Morgan City took in $4.1 million last month, an increase of less than 2 percent from October 2012.
The Boomtown casino at New Orleans took in $9.2 million, down 7.4 percent, while the Treasure Chest's revenue fell 12 percent to $7.4 million.
In Baton Rouge, the Belle of Baton Rouge riverboat continued to regain ground lost to L'Auberge Baton Rouge, though Hollywood's take was still more than 19 percent below the previous October, at $5.6 million. The Belle's take was up 4.4 percent from a year earlier, at $4.8 million, and its share of the market rose from 19.6 percent in October 2012 to 22.5 percent last month. L'Auberge, with $11 million, was down nearly 2 percent from a year earlier and held 51.5 percent of the market, down 1 percentage point from a year earlier.
The state figures do not include Louisiana's three Indian casinos, which do not have to make their revenues public.

Our adventures in Nepal
Trip Start
Oct 20, 2011
Trip End
Nov 26, 2011
When that is done it is time to go back to memory lane. We've been talking for weeks already about going to our favorite restaurant for the best Nepalese and Indian food in town only to realize that things have changed as our restaurant is nowhere to be found L. The rest of Thamel, the famous tourist area, hasn't changed at all. Restaurants, bars, tourist shops selling everything from trekking gear to Buddha statues and t-shirts is all you see here, apart from the honking cars and motorcycles.Today no sightseeing as we are too tired from the flight as the three of us nearly fell asleep during lunch. The next day we are heading to Pokhara from where we will start our 6 day trek in the Annapurna region. It is a long and bumpy 7 hour bus ride with beautiful views of the several valleys we cross with bustling villages, rice terraces, White Water Rivers and green hills. Pokhara has definitely become a lot more popular since our last visit in 1997. It looks more like a 2nd Thamel with all the restaurants and shops. Also the type of tourists has changed. In 1997 the majority of tourists were young travelers but now it is more families, pensioners and elderly Asian groups that linger in the streets. We spend the late afternoon and evening with walking around a little bit, having a beer and enjoying some nice Indian food. The next morning we wake up with the first glimpses of the Himalayan ranges from our balcony. The Machepuchare aka the "fishtail" is one of them. This mountain is the only mountain in Nepal that has not been climbed as it is a holy mountain and you are not allowed to climb it. After breakfast we take a taxi to Naya Pul from where we will start our trek. Here we realize that the guy that organized our permits was a sneaky guy. He gave us a permit for a group with porters and a guide which is cheaper than a permit for a group without porters and a guide. Off course we paid for the expensive one and he only gave us the cheaper one! Luckily at the checkpoint they didn't make a fuss about it so we could start with the trek. As the treks in this region are quite popular you basically just follow a well trotted trail with guesthouses dotted along the way. In these guesthouses they all have the same menu with the same prices as they are set by the organization that is running the national park. The first day we climb gradually through a valley with farm houses and rice terraces. It is a sunny day and warmer than we anticipated and the heat makes it more tiring to climb. We end up in a small village called Tikedunga. We stay in a small guesthouse and have dinner choosing from the standard menu and realize that we will have fried rice, fried noodles, spaghetti, pizza or curry for lunch and dinner the next 6 days. OK they also have apple pie as the treks in this region are aka the apple pie treks. The next day we gain more than 1000 meters in altitude up to 2600 meters and the first couple of hours is climbing more than 3000 steps of what looks like a never ending staircase in a forest. The altitude doesn't make it any easier as well! No mountain views yet, we only get a glimpse of Annapurna South in the morning. Late afternoon we arrive in Gorepani. A bigger village as this is the start of point for the early morning Poon hill sunrise climb so all trekkers gather in this village. The first pains and aches are starting to show as it was quite a strenuous climb. Next morning an early start at 4.30 am for the sunrise on Poon hill. Unfortunately there was quite a bit of overcast so we didn't get the full 280 degrees of mountains you can have here and the sunrise was not as spectacular as we had in 1997 the first time we did this trek, but we did get a glimpse of the Dauglari and good views of the Annapurna's and the fishtail. Back in Gorepani we got some nice views of the Annapurna's from our guesthouse! After breakfast we head off again with some of our muscles and knees protesting. But when we look at the porters carrying 2-4 backpacks, of which some of them are these huge Samsonite suitcases, we can't really complain! This day we get to see more of the Himalayan Mountains and walking through a rain forest at 2800 meters looking at snow capped peaks of over 7000 meters is quite an experience. Although we've seen it before it is still amazing to see. The last steep climb to Tadapani is killing but we are rewarded with nice views. In Tadapani you have an unobstructed view of the Annapurna South, the Hincuili and the Fishtail. Next morning we have a beautiful sunrise and again spectacular views. Our muscles are still stiff and Bert's knee is still a bit sore but he found a walking stick that will help him descending with less pain. We'll see how far we get on this 4th day. Our first break gives us an immediate bonus. While taking pictures of the mountains Ton hears something in the forest. To our surprise we see a whole family of monkeys. Beautiful white bearded Langurs and we even see a mother with a baby! All the other trekkers are not interested so we have the monkeys to ourselves. The rest of the walk is mostly descending through thick rain forest and we arrive in Gandruk for lunch. The clouds are getting thicker and it looks like it is going to rain. We are planning to walk some more but during lunch it really starts to rain. The lunch is the best meal we had on the trek and it looks like it is will rain for some time so we decide to stay in Gandruk so we can enjoy dinner here as well! After an hour the rain stops and we decide to go for a walk in the village. This turns out to be another bonus. Gandruk is not just a trekker's village but a charming medieval kind of village. Only the electricity poles and satellite dishes make you realize that you are in the 21st century. The clouds are slowly disappearing and we again get the full view of the mountain ranges. We enjoy the views from our balcony until the sun sets. The family makes us another delicious meal and although it is from the "standard" menu list here they finally use spices and herbs and not just salt! The next morning we again have clear views and after breakfast we unfortunately have to leave. We're leaving the mountain views behind and start walking back to Pedi the final destination of our trek. The last two days we have more views over farmland and forests with rice terraces as far as the eye can see. We finish the trek with a steep decent on another long staircase. It was a beautiful trek with amazing views. Strenuous at times and our muscles and tendons just made it till the end. In Pokhara, while enjoying a well deserved beer a wood oven Pizza and an Illy espresso, all the muscle pains we had during the trip are forgotten and only the good memories remain. Then it is time to head back to Kathmandu. In Kathmandu we thought we had a reservation in the same hotel as we had upon arrival in Nepal but no that is not the case. The manager tells us with a smile that yes we have a reservation but he doesn't have rooms for us! But he will take us to another hotel. The first one he shows us is just too dirty for words but hey he could try right. So he brings us to another one which is actually a lot better than his own. We are fed up with this guy so we decide to stay in this hotel. We get a good discount so we have a better room for the same price. In the evening we even found a good replacement for our favorite restaurant. All organic and very tasteful! The next days it's time for some sightseeing. As soon as you leave the tourist Thamel area you get into the real Kathmandu, the Kathmandu we like. The city is alive with people wandering on the streets either for shopping in the many little shops or going to one of the small Hindu or Buddhist temples that you find literally on every corner of the street. We go the main square, Durbar square, where you find a congregation of impressive Hindu temples and shrines. We also go to Patan which used to be a separate city but is now part of greater Kathmandu. Here Durbar square is even more impressive with more elaborate temples than the one in Kathmandu. For our last visit in Nepal we go to Baktapur. This is a village that used to be one of the 3 kingdoms in the Kathmandu valley. Patan and Kathmandu are the other two. Baktapur is the prettiest of the three. The city is surrounded by a wall and is more or less traffic free which makes it a nice place to wander through with its cobbled streets and again a Durbar square and several other squares with Buddhist and Hindu temples, statues and shrines. This was a nice place to end our trip to Nepal.
We are ready for our next chapter Bhutan so I want to leave you with one of the sayings that we saw on our trek: The grand essentials of happiness are something to do, something to love and something to hope for.
This is the start of a new adventure. This time we are taking along a good friend, Bert with whom we've traveled before. After a smooth flight to New Delhi without delays, a long and tiring wait for 8 hours at the airport and another short flight we arrive early morning at Kathmandu airport. Clearing customs and getting a visa was also a piece of cake. As this is our 4th visit to Nepal it feels a little bit like coming home. Even though traffic is chaotic and noisy with cars and motorcycles honking their horn every 5 seconds and pedestrians trying to cross the streets Kathmandu still has a certain charm that is hard to describe and it hasn't changed since our last visit in 2004. After freshening up there are only two things we need to organize and that is getting a trekking permit and collecting our bus ticket to Pokhara.
We are ready for our next chapter Bhutan so I want to leave you with one of the sayings that we saw on our trek: The grand essentials of happiness are something to do, something to love and something to hope for.

An inquiry into women''s agency--how it is developed and deployed and how it can be increased. |
From the Publisher:
Women's agency: Is it a matter of an individual's capacity for autonomy? Or of the social conditions that facilitate freedom? Combining theoretical and empirical perspectives, Carisa R. Showden investigates what exactly makes an agent and how that agency influences the ways women make inherently sensitive and difficult choicesspecifically in instances of domestic violence, assisted reproduction, and sex work. In Showden's analysis, women's agency emerges as an individual and social construct, rooted in concrete experience, complex and changing over time. She traces the development and deployment of agency, illustrating how it plays out in the messy workings of imperfect lives. In a series of case studies, she considers women within situations of intimate partner violence, reproductive decision making, and sex work such as prostitution and pornography. Each narrative offers insight into how women articulate their self-understanding and political needs in relation to the pressures they confront. Showden's understanding of women's agency ultimately leads her to review possible policy and legal interventions that could improve the conditions within which agency develops and that could positively enhance women's ability to increase and exercise their political and personal options. |

These notes are to help those parents/carers who are considering the possibility of educating their child or children at home.
The information contained in these notes should clarify legislation that effects the education of children at home and ways of working in situations like this.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact The Elective Home Education Team on 01274 385677
Information for parents/carers who are considering educating their child/children at home. This is often referred to as 'education otherwise' in Section 7 of the Education Act 1996 (previously Section of the 1944 Education Act) which states:
"It shall be the duty of the parent of every child of compulsory school age to cause her or him to receive efficient full-time education suitable to her/his age, aptitude and ability (and to any special educational needs she/he may have) either by attendance at school or otherwise".
This means that parents/carers have a legal responsibility to ensure that their child is educated but this does not have to be in school.
Deciding to educate your child/children at home is a major step which takes up a very considerable amount of your time, energy and money. It is hoped that these guidance notes will help you decide whether you can provide the best education at school, in partnership with you.
The Education Act 1996 imposes a duty on parents/carers to "secure the education of their children..... of compulsory age " (5-16 years) but this can be done "otherwise than at school". For most children this means that they will normally go to school, but for various reasons a small number of parents decide to undertake the responsibility of educating their children outside the school systems.
No. But the Local Authority (LA) has a responsibility to make sure that your child's education meets the requirements of the Education Act.
If your child is on a school register and not attending, then that non-attendance will be followed up by school and an Education Welfare Officer. It remains YOUR responsibility to notify the school.
Under Section 7 of the 1996 Act parents of children not attending a school need "to cause (the child) to receive efficient full time education suitable to his (or her) age, ability and aptitude and to any special educational needs he (or she) may have either by regular attendance at school or otherwise".
No. You do not have a legal duty to provide your child with the National Curriculum Although you may find it useful to know what it is and to follow it if practical. It will provide you with a useful framework for levels of achievement across the subjects. It will also help if your child returns to school in the future.Currently, those subjects included in the National Curriculum are English, Mathematics and Science as core subjects with Technology, History, Geography, Art, Music, Physical Education, Modern Foreign Languages (from age 11) and Religious Education (unless parents exercise their right to withdraw a child).Many of the commercially produced workbooks available from bookshops now relate their content to the National Curriculum.
No. Full time does not mean necessarily working school hours or working for 25 hours a week. The LA will want to see how you are going to organise your days and that sufficient time is being spent in study each week.
There is no one approach or style than can be recommended, but it should be as active and practical as possible. Great importance should be placed on reading and mathematics and a programme of educational visits should also be planned. You can make use of educational broadcasts but need to prepare well in advance and ensure that you plan follow-up work after the broadcast. Be varying in the style and content of the education; it will be more enjoyable for you and your child/children.
You will need to ensure that there is a special place set aside for quiet work and independent study.
No. But it is your responsibility to ensure that an efficient programme of work is provided. This can be done by the parent or parents. You can also use suitable friends or pay for specialist teaching; however, it is your responsibility to ensure that any tutors/teachers are suitably qualified and experienced to teach your child/children. You are also advised to remain at home when a tutor is teaching your child. Remember your child needs may change at different ages. The level of education you provide should not restrict opportunities for your child in their future.
No. It is the LA's responsibility to make a judgement about quality of education provided. If you decide to return your child to school, the LA will be happy to advise you.
Yes. It is called flexi schooling but this is only if the headteacher is in agreement. Some colleges of further education will support education otherwise by allowing access to courses but the financial responsibility for these courses remain with the parents.
Yes. You can seek a place in a school at anytime. If the school of your choice is full in your child's year group you do have right of admission appeal. Sometimes a decision to educate a child at home is short term but please inform the LA if you decide your child will be returning to school.
Ideally the home educator will regularly re-assess the decision to home educate as the child grows and circumstances change. The LEA and school will help with a plan for re-introduction to school.
If you have considered all aspects carefully and decided to go ahead with education other than at school, please fill in the pro-forma and return it to the LA. You will receive a letter confirming that the pro-forma has been received. The inspector will contact you in the future to discuss the provision you are providing for your child. If the provision is 'suitable' you will be able to continue to educate your child other than at school. If the provision is not suitable you will be given suggestions as to how to improve the provision.
The pro-forma may be difficult to complete at first try to complete what you can and return it. If you can't complete all sections leave these blank and send in any additional information when you are established.

List of characters |
Eugene H. Krabs (Mr. Plankton Universe) or just Krabs is Mr. Plankton's arch-rival and only appears in the episode "The Algae's Always Greener."
When his mainstream counterpart and Mr. Plankton's mainstream counterpart were arguing about their burger formula, a new universe was created/was diverged. Instead of Plankton abandoning the project, Krabs did. Krabs opened the Chum Bucket and stopped wearing clothes possibly because of insanity or he couldn't afford them. The episode "Friend or Foe" can explain that a little. He started trying to steal the Krabby Patty formula from Mr. Plankton, similar to it being the other way around in the mainstream continuity. When the mainstream Plankton took over this universe's Plankton's job, Krabs confused that Plankton to be his Plankton. He used a rope to get in the KK's kitchen and steal a Krabby Patty. SpongeBob then started shooting clothes at Krabs until he was clothed in a bra. He then gave Plankton the stolen Patty and said that even if he didn't succeed this time that he'll keep coming back.
He acts like Plankton does in the mainstream continuity, but with differences. He probably stopped wearing clothes due to insanity or he could not buy them. It appears that he doesn't even like to wear clothes.
- "Clothe me if you can, silly landlubbers!"
- "Aw, ya got me! Well, at least it's underwire."
- "Enjoy your victory screech, Plankton, because someday the Krabby Patty formula will be mine!"
- (From the phone) "And the next day...and the next day...and the next day..."

High esteem: Maria Kowroski as the Siren |
This year, Balanchine's birthday fell on a Saturday – an excellent day for a party, as any child knows – and New York City Ballet celebrated its co-founder from morning to night. Artistic director Peter Martins led a demonstration class for advanced students from the feeder school, current company members discussed what Balanchine meant to them, and of course there were the ballets – from The Prodigal Son, which Balanchine created for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in 1929, to Mozartiana, made two years before the choreographer died in 1983 at the age of 79.
In a single day we hopped from pop Americana (Stars and Stripes) to constructivist fable (The Prodigal Son) to slippery elegy (Mozartiana) and reverie (Walpurgisnacht Ballet) – each ballet a master of its kind but none reducible to genre, and all immediately identifiable as Balanchine.
After seven works in a single day, you start making new connections: for example, between the angularities in The Prodigal Son that spell moral deformation and those in The Four Temperaments, two decades later, that suggest astringent clarity. Or between the ballerinas in the late works Mozartiana and Walpurgisnacht (respectively, supple and inward-leading Wendy Whelan and silky Maria Kowroski), who glide backwards while facing forwards as if slipping inexorably into the past.
New and stirring patterns emerge within a work too. The goons in The Prodigal Son have always contained an element of the mechanical. On Saturday, in the best Prodigal I have seen, Siren Kowroski did as well – and for once you understood why her minions slavered over her. Joaquín De Luz as the Son both mastered the expressionist gestures and conveyed deep feeling, and the male corps were especially vivid.
While we're observing the passage of time, it is worth noting that two-thirds of today's principals have risen to their position in the past six years. Balanchine was dead before most of them were born. He does not cast a shadow over their attempts to, as young principal Sterling Hyltin put it, "uphold his mantle of greatness", which they know mainly through the ballets. The whole company is better off for this blessed objectivity, dancing with great daring and curiosity.

Hey everybody, I'm trying to disconnect my rear lower control arm from the axle (installing coilovers) and am having a really hard time removing the bolt that holds the arm to the axle. I got the nut off but the bolt just spins when turning and I can't get a swing at it with a hammer to punch it out because the brakes (drums) are in the way. Anybody have a helpful hint? I don't want to remove the drums just to get room to swing the hammer. Thanks.
Did you already remove the rear springs? You need to relieve the load from the control arm. Once you do that, it 'should' slide out.
I have a jack under the control arm lifting up just a bit to relieve the spring pressure. I am trying to remove this bolt so I fully lower the arm to remove the spring. These bolts have been there for 20 years!
You might be able to run it out with a electric impact gun and use a screw driver to pull/pry the head out.

CEO bonuses rose 30.5% in the past year, but are the heads of large U.S. firms really earning their hefty compensation packages by creating increased profits and shareholder value? A closer look reveals wide disparities: There are some Bargain CEOs, but also some Hogs and Value Destroyers.
The number of CEOs departures last month fell 30% to 92, compared to 132 a year ago. February's total was also slightly lower than that of January, when 96 top executives exited their posts, according to job-services firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
You only get to be an artist like Steve Jobs by turning everything in your life upside down, by making horrible, ugly, mistakes, and by cheating and lying. As I dug deeper into Jobs' life I discovered things about him I could never have imagined.
Cathay's Tony Tyler explains that when airlines last raised fares in 2008, most travelers kept right on flying. But as Mideast upheavals send oil prices skyward and airlines hike fares again to compensate, the impact on the industry's bottom line could be quite different.
Social media played a key role in the successful revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt, and more dictatorial regimes are facing protesters who use the Internet as a weapon. But could the power of social networking create similar revolutionary changes in the corporate world?
Last month, 96 CEO changes were announced by U.S. based companies, reports job-services firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, among them the heads of Google and Advanced Micro Devices. The number is down 9% from December, but 8% higher than January 2010, when 89 CEOs left their corner offices behind.
When Google co-founder Larry Page replaces Eric Schmidt as CEO, he'll have a host of things to worry about: ad revenues, growth, Facebook, privacy concerns and just how to get the company's rebel groove back. But first on his agenda will have to be reversing the flow of top employees out the door.
As Larry Page takes the reins from CEO Eric Schmidt, the questions for investors are: Will Facebook keep gaining on Google? Or will Page steer it back to its original counter-corporate spirit, to embracing risk over short-term profits? Or have the risk-takers gone soft?
President Obama brought executives from 13 major U.S. firms to the White House Wednesday to meet with Chinese Premier Hu Jintao. The corporate leaders will surely be angling for better access to China's markets, which could boost their stocks. But only a few are actually good investments now.

Discovery's re-entry to collect hypersonic research BY CRAIG COVAULT SPACEFLIGHT NOW Posted: March 27, 2009 KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. - As the space shuttle Discovery dives through re-entry to end STS-119, the aerodynamic flow on its outer left wing will be deliberately tripped from laminar to turbulent flow at Mach 15. This is much earlier than at Mach 11 when this area of the aft wing would normally go turbulent during the re-entry. The early shift to turbulent flow will send temperatures on that area of the wing soaring to 2,200 deg. F.
The objective on STS-119 and the remaining one or two flights of Discovery will be to intensively document the characteristics of how the airflow is tripped from laminar to turbulent, generating the potentially dangerous increase in heating which could damage the orbiter, according to Chuck H. Campbell, Johnson Space Center Principal Investigator for the Orbiter Boundary Layer Transition Flight Experiment. The airflow will be deliberately tripped by a four-inch wide and quarter-inch tall "speed bump" built into a test tile surrounded at various distances by about 10 tiles instrumented to document temperature changes. The speed bump fence is secured into BRI-18, a robust tile with added densification atop. Over the 30-year history of the shuttle program, protruding gap fillers have caused such early boundary layer transitions on the wing about a dozen times. These were unknown to the crew or Mission Control until charred tile areas, sometimes accompanied by gap filler evidence, was found on the runway at Kennedy or Edwards AFB, Calif.
The test has been supported by wind tunnel and analytical testing before the launch of STS-119. And during the re-entry an attempt will be made to have the U.S. Navy's Cast-Glance Infrared Optical sensor mounted on a P-3 Orion to intersect the descending shuttle for high-speed infrared imagery of the hotter than normal footprint. The success of the exercise will depend in part upon whether the orbiter flies a re-entry track that can be underflown by the Navy P-3. On the subsequent STS-128, the plan is for Discovery to carry a somewhat taller speed bump that will further broaden the science base. The Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle program is helping to provide advocacy for the BRI-18 test because of plans to use that more-robust tile on Orion.
"Because the problem of hypersonic BLT is so complex, the infrastructure requirements are also significant. This is true whether ground based experiments, high fidelity computations, instrumentation techniques or flight testing are the subject of interest. For this reason and others, effective and strategic use of infrastructure is a very important consideration. "Launch vehicles and launch systems involve infrastructure that require large investments and many technology requirements. From the standpoint of economics and infrastructure investment, opportunity cost is often used to describe the costs associated with being able to accomplish an activity. The opportunity cost of having a launch system such as the space shuttle is high. "Great accomplishments have been made by utilizing the shuttle to advance the state of the art in many technical and scientific areas - from astronomy, to liquid rocket propulsion systems, to reusable launch systems, etc. Therefore, in this context great accomplishments require significant infrastructure," Campbell says. Following the STS-119 tests, the BRI-18 speed bump and associated tiles will be pulled from Discovery and shipped to NASA Langley for runs in Langley's Mach 6 and Mach 10 wind tunnels. It will also be shipped to Buffalo, N.Y., for testing in the Calspa/Cubic shock tunnel.

Failure to agree on the electrocardiographic diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 8572445 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine the extent of interobserver agreement in the ECG diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia (VT) by using a four-step algorithm and three observers. METHODS: Simulated emergency department setting from records of an urban university teaching hospital. All ECGs taken in the ED during a 2-year period that showed a QRS duration of more than 120 msec and a heart rate faster than 110 beats per minute were reviewed. ECGs were categorized as demonstrating sinus rhythm (SR), irregular broad-complex tachycardia (I-BCT), or regular broad-complex tachycardia (BCT). Copies of the BCT ECGs and short clinical histories were given to each of three emergency physicians, who used a published, four-step algorithm (the Brugada algorithm) to categorize the BCT ECGs as indicating VT, indicating supraventricular tachycardia with aberrancy (SVT-A), or indeterminate. Interobserver agreement was assessed with the K-statistic. RESULTS: The records contained 178 ECGs, 88 of which were SR, 63 I-BCT, and 27 BCT. The 27 BCT ECGs were selected for review. The emergency physicians disagreed with each other 22% of the time in differentiating VT from SVT-A (K = .58). CONCLUSION: Application of the algorithm to actual clinical practice in the ED would probably result in the misdiagnosis of a substantial minority of patients having BCT, with potentially serious adverse consequences. |

Notary Fees
Reduced Notary fees when purcahsing a property
When a property is offered with reduced notary fees, this means that instead of the normal 7%, you pay between 1.7 and 2.5% depending on the value of the purchase. This scenario arises when a newly built villa or an apartment within a new development is sold.
Indeed, the property must not be older than 5 years and must be sold by the initial owner to fulfill the requirements.

The president of the AFL-CIO is worried that President Obama is doing poorly among white, working class, male voters -- and he plans on putting 400,000 of his troops in the field in six key states to change the equation.
Recent polls show the president doing poorly with white males with less than a college education. Mitt Romney leads the president among white males voters by more than 2-to-1 in a recent Washington Post poll, with the president favored by only 28 percent of this demographic group. Other polls show similar results. Republicans have won a majority of white males' votes in most recent elections; but the president has slipped significantly among this cohort from his last race. In 2008, Obama carried 39 percent of white male votes.
Richard Trumka, the former coal miner who now leads the 8.4 million- member AFL-CIO, hopes he can at least convince his own white male members to vote for Obama. But, apparently, he doesn't have a very high opinion of those who choose not to follow his lead. He recently told Reuters that of the 1-in-4 union members who didn't vote for Obama in 2008, "some of this I think was pure racism. Some of them would be gun owners, some of them would be right-wing. Some of them would be ... died-in-the-wool Republicans."
Trumka and the Obama team are counting on stoking class resentment to motivate union members: Portray Romney as an out-of-touch rich guy who wants to ship jobs overseas, and maybe union members will ignore the fact that far more Americans are out of work today than when Obama took office. The unemployment rate was 7.8 percent in January 2009; it's 8.2 percent now, despite massive government spending. Obama's own economic advisers predicted that the nearly trillion-dollar 2009 stimulus package would bring it down to less than 8 percent.
It should be no surprise that Trumka and other union leaders are making an all-out push for Obama. In recent decades, unions have become virtual auxiliaries of the Democratic Party -- devoting resources, money, and manpower to electing Democrats at every level of government. This election cycle will be no different. Last election, the AFL-CIO claimed they put 250,000 union members to work helping elect President Obama. And they spent hundreds of millions of dollars -- much of it union dues -- in the 2008 and 2010 elections.

Top police officer interdicted over attempted rape
From: Ghana | Daily Guide

A senior police officer, Chief Superintendent Wisdom Akorli, has been interdicted by the Police Administration for allegedly luring a teenager into a hotel room and attempting to rape her.
The Divisional Commander of Akyem Oda in the Eastern Region, Akorli is said to have invited the 17-year-old girl (name withheld) from Oda to a hideout at Akim Asene after receiving a complaint that she had destroyed someone's school certificate.
Chief Superintendent Akorli was caught red-handed by some residents of Asene when the girls shrill screams attracted them to the hotel.
The incident happened last Wednesday.
Ironically, the one who made the complaint against the teenager was Chief Superintendent Wisdom Akorlis girlfriend, who claimed the victim had destroyed her certificate following a misunderstanding.
Sources at Oda said the commander's girlfriend and the 17-year-old were close friends.
According to reports, the commander's girlfriend had an argument with the victim and in the course of the quarrel, the victim allegedly tore up her certificate.
Reports hold that as a result of the incident, Chief Supt Akorli's girlfriend told him to invite the girl for questioning over the certificate.
The commander was said to have called the girl on the phone and later invited her to the hotel, where he allegedly tried to defile her.
The good Samaritans who came to the girls aid seized the commanders car keys and uniform for use as evidence.
Saturday, Acting Director of the Police Public Affairs Directorate DSP Cephas Arthur confirmed the Oda commanders interdiction on Peace FM.
He said the Police Service interdicted Chief Supt Akorli based on the seriousness of the allegations made against him to enable the police to conduct independent investigations into the matter.
He said police officers, who are responsible for protecting the vulnerable, must not be seen as taking advantage of the very people they are supposed to protect.
Last January, the Daily Guide reported another story that raised questions about Akorlis moral character.
According to the report, Chief Supt Akorli's girlfriend of seven months had reported him to the police authorities in Accra for allegedly maltreating and constantly abusing her after their relationship went sour.
Then 21-year-old Comfort Tawiah of Akim Akroso near Oda, in the company of her mother and an uncle, went to the police headquarters in Accra to officially lodge an abuse complaint against the police boss, claiming that Oda police were not willing to listen to the story because it involves their superior.
She and her mother also accused some policemen at Oda of complicity in the alleged abuse case, saying that Akorli had been going to her house with other policemen to threaten and attack her.
Matters came to a head when on Wednesday, January 4, 2012, the Oda police boss, in the company of some policemen, went to Ms Tawiah's apartment, which the police boss had rented for her, to forcibly eject her and allegedly beat her into a coma in the process.
Ms Tawiah, who confirmed the story to the Daily Guide, said the police chief led some policemen to her chamber-and-hall apartment at Oda while her mother was visiting her and beat her until she 'fainted' and had to be rushed to the Oda Government hospital.

From the moment you walk into the restaurant, a sense of tranquility washes over you. The ambiance of the space is phenomenal - the warm lighting, the shimmery gold-plated ceiling, and every piece of furniture has a story to tell. It's easy to get lost in a space like this. The menu is exquisite. It truly has something to satisfy any palate - from a solid rib eye steak, to sake poached salmon (which is what I had), to their mouthwatering blue cheese escargot - this place offers the best world cuisines. Last but not least, the service was exceptional. Michael (waiter/magician/illusionist) not only was knowledgeable and courteous, but offered up a great show to finish our visit on a high note. This is a restaurant that I would recommend to anybody visiting Calgary for any occasions!

Have eaten at Jacqueline Suzanne's probably fifty times over the years. Top notch food every time, with great service and even better price points. $35 for a 15oz. piece of AAA prime rib? Yum! Their sake poached salmon is gorgeous, simply gorgeous. They also have vegetarian options... the butternnut squash in curry cream is delectable! Go there!

Overnight at Stone-gate Cliffs by Hsieh Ling-yün (385-433) I spent the morning digging out orchids, afraid frost would soon leave them dead, passed the night among fringes of cloud, savoring a moon up beyond all this rock, chortles telling me birds have settled in, falling leaves giving away fresh winds. Sounds weave together in the ear, strange unearthly echoes all crystalline distance, though there's no one to share wonders or the joys in wine's fragrant clarities. We'll never meet again now. I sit beside a stream, sun drying my hair for nothing. translated from the Chinese by David Hinton From MOUNTAIN HOME: THE WILDERNESS POETRY OF ANCIENT CHINA (Counterpoint, 2002)
