Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 international model did not receive Android 4.4 KitKat due to several factors even though it sports 1 GB of RAM. But owners should know that the firmware is compatible with 512 MB RAM. So here are three reasons why users are left on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.
Hardware Limitation
Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 did not receive any official Android KitKat update due to its hardware issue of having 1 GB of RAM only unlike with Galaxy S3 GT-I9305 which boasts 2 GB of RAM. However, Android KitKat is optimised by Google to run on any Android device with the minimum 512 MB of RAM chipset provided the ROM features vanilla or near-vanilla UI.
Samsung always include Galaxy S features and other brand exclusive apps and services such as S Voice, Translator and more. In addition, a new firmware from the company will also include an updated version of TouchWiz user interface that adds size on the stock Android ROM which leads to insufficient memory.
This reason has been considered why Galaxy S3 GT-I9305 is compatible with Android KitKat plus TouchWiz UI than GT-I9300.
Galaxy S3 is a Flagship Device
Galaxy S3 is the third generation Galaxy S smartphone which made it a flagship device. Flagship devices are the lead units on a specific collection in a period which Galaxy S3 took in 2012. But the title itself has a drawback when it comes to software related features.
Galaxy S, Galaxy S2, Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S5 are all offering certain apps and services exclusively found on Galaxy S series which rarely found on mid-range and low-cost Galaxy devices. Features such as Smart Stay, Smart Alert, Direct Call, Social Tag, S Voice, S Beam, Enterprise Mobility and others bloat the firmware size and consumes more memory than devices that do not have them.
Having all these software features added to Android KitKat base firmware and TouchWiz UI can slowdown Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 even with 1 GB of RAM.
Expiration of Software Support
Aside from the lower memory capacity and tons of exclusive features, software support has reached its expiration date. Based on the details from GSMArena, Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 was released in May 2012 and the standard software support duration would only last till November 2013.
Manufacturers follow the 18 months of software support on all devices and users may expect up to two major updates within that time. But, makers can either limit the software update on a device depending on certain factors such as sales record or extend it if the device generated huge amount of shipments or sales.
A source claims that Galaxy S3 sold approximately 60 million units since its 2012 release worldwide which may have led to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update.
Users who are desperate to get Android 4.4 KitKat can always resort to custom firmware which carries all the default Android features. Additionally, custom ROM developers may also consider on developing Android L firmware in the near future.

The Minister was responding to a query on the time overruns suffered by several ROB works in Tiruchi district on account of delay in completing the land acquisition
The State government has decided to award tenders for new projects such as road overbridges (ROB) only after acquiring lands required for them, said Edapadi K.Palaniswami, Minister for Highways and Minor Ports, here on Thursday.
"During the previous regime, tenders for many projects were awarded before the land acquisition was completed. This has resulted in project delays and steps have been taken to expedite the process now. To overcome the problem, Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has ordered that tenders for all new projects be awarded only after completing the land acquisition," he told reporters. The Minister was responding to a query on the time overruns suffered by several ROB works in Tiruchi district on account of delay in completing the land acquisition.
Mr.Palaniswami, along with N.R.Sivapathi, Minister for School Education, Youth Welfare and Sports, and P.Kumar, MP, inspected the progress of the construction of a road overbridge (ROB) at Crawford and the site for a new multi-level ROB near the railway junction in the city.
The Minister disclosed that the design for the new multi-level ROB at the Madurai highway intersection near the junction in the city was in the 'approval stage' and the process would be completed by the end of August. Tenders for the project would be called for by December.
The ROB, replacing the existing narrow bridge that has turned a traffic bottleneck in the city, would be a multi-level one with seven arms.
The State government has already accorded administrative sanction for the ROB at an estimated cost of Rs.74 crore. The ROB would run for a length of 1,835 metres.
The proposed bridge would have seven lanes on the railway portion and would have separate arms with two to three lanes leading towards the Chennai Bypass Road, Aristo Hotel Junction, Dindigul Highway, Central Bus Stand, railway junction, Madurai Highway and a new road to be laid near the MSP camp.
The arms towards the Chennai Bypass Road and the Aristo Hotel junction would have three lanes each at the higher level and lower levels. Service roads would be provided at the ground level along all important arms.
Mr.Palaniswami was informed by Collector Jayashree Muralidharan and other officials that steps have been taken to expedite the land acquisition for the Crawford ROB. M.Rajamani, chief engineer, highways (construction and maintenance) and M.Natarajan, chief engineer, highways (projects), explained the salient features of the projects to the Minister.
M.Paranjothi, R.Manoharan, R.Chandrasekar and T.P.Poonatchi, MLAs, A.Jaya, Mayor, and Corporation Commissioner V.P.Thandapani were present.
Earlier, the Minister chaired a meeting with department officials to review the progress of the works being executed by the highways department in Tiruchi region covering Tiruchi, Pudukottai, Thanjavur, Tiruvarur and Nagapattinam district. He reviewed the progress of various ROB and road construction projects, including the ROBs coming up at Oyamari Road, Lalgudi and Manapparai. Works on all these ROBs have been hampered owing to delay in completing the land acquisition process. He directed the officials to initiate steps to overcome the obstacles and also requested the Collector to expedite the land acquisition process.
The Minister also held discussions with officials on the proposed ROB at Thiruvanakovil in Srirangam constituency.

baux|itePronunciation: /ˈbɔːksʌɪt/
Definition of bauxite in English:
An amorphous clayey rock that is the chief commercial ore of aluminium. It consists largely of hydrated alumina with variable proportions of iron oxides.
Example sentences
- The principal economic activities and primary sources of foreign exchange are bauxite mining and alumina production, tourism, and sugar and banana exports.
- It is among the world's leading producers of bauxite and alumina, which are exported to Canada, Norway, and the United States.
- The major exports are bauxite and alumina, apparel, sugar, bananas, coffee, citrus and citrus products, rum, cocoa, and labor.
- 1
- Example sentences
- Sequence III extends from the base of Seam 4A to the base of the bauxitic claystone beneath Seam 2.
- Seam 4A has a much higher content of alumina than the other seams, which may suggest that the detrital input into this coal mire contained a greater proportion of bauxitic weathering products than the other coals.
- The coastal lagoonal deposits are represented by bauxitic claystones resting on the undulating top of thick-bedded limestones.

"For the design, I chose the purple option. They came out vibrant against the black background. While this card is little, I had no trouble reading the text in the banner or any of the fonts I chose to print on the front. The card printed crisp and clear on the thick card stock. They arrive flat, so you will need to fold them. I placed my under a heavy book to fold them down slightly more. The accompanying envelopes are of a fine quality. I opted for the straight edge on the back. They work well with address labels."
"This card is adorable and perfect for thank-yous for my fiance's and my wedding shower/cocktail party. My only problem with the product, I didn't bother to check on dimensions and I thought it'd be larger (more like a postcard)."
"These note cards came out really well. A great choice when thank you notes will be written by both bride and groom. Simple, elegant. Wasn't sure how the burlap textured look would come out on the actual card, but it adds a really nice element."
"I personalized this card with shimmer paper and the colors: smoke for the background then coast blue for the ribbon/border."
"Loved the cards...they are gorgeous and unique! However, the paper appears creamier on screen then it does in reality and I don't love that the envelopes are pure white, because my invitation suite was ecru. Nevertheless, I love the cards themselves and am happy overall with my purchase."

Staff Correspondent
MANGALORE: The former president of the Kannada Sahitya Parishat Harikrishna Punaroor has said that all Tulu organisations from Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Kasaragod districts will meet shortly to chart out a plan for a separate State and to take it up with the Centre.
Addressing presspersons here on Wednesday, Mr. Punaroor said the people of these districts had a legitimate reason to seek a separate State. Noting that most States came into being on the basis of linguistic consideration, Mr. Punaroor said people from Tulu-speaking areas too could stake a claim in this regard. Tulu is one of the five Dravidian languages with its own script, he said.
He said that the demand for the inclusion of Tulu in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution had not materialised over the years due to the apathy of the State and Union governments.
Creating a separate State would give a fillip to the growth and sustenance of Tulu. Mr. Punaroor said that it was the responsibility of elected representatives from the region to press for this cause. He said that if the Government failed to fulfil their demand, an organised agitation would be inevitable.

Yummy! I changed it a little...I drained the water from the squash after cooking it, then I mixed in half a can of Rotel tomatoes & gr. chiles, then put in the cream cheese, melted it for a little bit, then added shredded sharp cheddar. Wow. It is good.
I knew from looking at the ingredients this had the potential for a great recipe. I was right. It is delicious. I used two smaller crookneck squash, 4oz of cream cheese, garlic powder and fresh basil from the garden. I cooked the squash in the microwave 5 1/2 minutes, cubed the cheese over it and let it set about three minutes, sprinkled on a dash or two of garlic, put in some fresh basil to taste and salt. It was absolutely divine!!!!
This recipe is awesome if you want a quick, satisfying side dish or an easy dish to serve at a party (just scale it up). I made it delicious and fairly healthy by sauteeing the squash and garlic for a few minutes in a small amount of butter, removing from heat and adding a good amount of chopped fresh basil and then adding 1-2 servings of reduced fat cream cheese before microwaving to melt the cheese. A small amount of cream cheese goes a long way and you can reduce the fat to 3-6 grams per serving with my modification. Fresh basil is essential for a "wow".

Some well thought out, solid ideas here, Mike.
Reduce time outs:
sorry Mike, as much as I agree with you, ain't gonna happen. College sports
on TV-it's all about money. Er, I mean MONEY!!!
Reduce the
physical play: great idea. The best idea of the article. Video tape five minutes
of a college game and show it without sound to an audience who aren't
interested in either team, and they would be aghast at how rough the play is
with no fouls called. As you wrote, a tap on the wrist is called, a mugging is
ignored. Also, when was the last time anyone saw a ref call a foul on a defender
forcing the ball handler out of bounds? Doesn't happen-the official would
more likely call out bounds. Games aren't in the 50's because of great
defense-it's because of the "no autopsy-no foul" mentality of the
Finally, worst idea in the article: 30 second clock. No way.
The game is bad enough now. Making it more like the pro game would be a
disaster. 30 sec. clock would mean ZERO upsets, especially in the NCAAS.

The WCC is a step down in basketball for BYU from the MWC, but I don't see how any of Sorenson's proposals would improve the competition in the WCC and would increase the stadium-size of the WCC teams. I don't mind highly-physical games or the 35 second shot clock. foul shots are not exciting so if the referees altered their foul calling the initial adjustment period to rid the physicality out of the players' systems sure wouldn't be exciting because they would be big foul shot fests. BYU and Utah's support problems are a result of the Jazz being on the market. I'm not sure the market is big enough for all 3 of the Jazz, BYU, and the U to normally sell out their stadiums. Not to mention that the college basketball season is more post-season driven with those post-season games being played on neutral courts so there are far fewer epic regular season matchups and epic in-stadium matchups that build fan attachment/loyalty. agree about the timeouts. jump ball rule is unfair for shorter players who tie up a bigger player.

The WCC is a step down for BYU, yet BYU is still struggling to dominate and won't make the NCAA tournament this year. Remember the conversation when the WCC was first announced and how many conference titles they would win? Still waiting for the first. BYU sports (the ones that matter, football and basketball) have been slowly eroding since independence. I supported independance because it was better than staying in the MWC for football, under the circumstances. But the MWC would have been better for all the other sports if the MWC would have let them stay. And, too many timeouts. :-)

I agree that tv timeouts are an issue. It is a completely different game when
teams only have the team timeouts, thus big-time programs that are on tv all the
time have an advantage.
However, the answer is not to compare it to soccer.
If we make basketball like soccer the players will be faking injuries to get a
rest. I think one analogy to soccer that could be made is sideline advertising
in the arenas. Soccer still pulls in millions of dollars in advertising without
having ANY commercial time-outs. Unfortunately, it is what it is and it's
not going to change just to preserve the integrity of the game.
clock...rubbish! Why not outlaw zone defenses, too?
If we're serious
about improving the game let's use replay better (could it be worse now?)
The refs often don't use it for, say, determining a flop/charge/block call
(even when two refs disagree).
As for the fouls late in a game,why not just
give the offense the choice of free throws or a sideout with a fresh shot clock.
That would eliminate hack-a-shaq type defenses.

It would probably be best if they abandoned ship.
Focus on the negative.
" I will screw this up less!'
While the scandals are numerous, so far nothing has penetrated the deflector shields. The biggest threat to the 'starship of state' is the crew itself. As long as the Red uniforms are unwilling to work with the blue uniforms, that Enterprise is going no where fast.
Warp Speed!
nahh… everyone in DC runs on impulse.
Everyone else's reply "Yeah, right!"
Considering that the democrats' idea of compromise is still "everyone else gives up what they want, and does exactly as we tell them to, we will do fine."
If there were a scandal to be found, this cartoon might be funny. The baseless manufactured scandals of the GOP are starting to tire out even the mainstream media.
Given what they are being told to agree with, they should be saying no.
Why manufacture when Obama does these himself? Besides, if this were a Republican President you liberals and democrats would already be voting to impeach and have the tar and feathers ready.
Given what they are being told to agree with, they should be saying no.
I agree. The Republicans had no choice but to vote against the health insurance reform package the Democrats rammed down their throats. After all, it was only based on plans Republicans had previously proposed and even implemented. How could the Republicans ever agree to a plan so awful they themselves suggested it? -
It was the Obama White House that lives by the mantra "never let a good crisis go to waste", not the Republicans.
The Republicans simply want this administration held accountalbe. Why is it that our "Justice" Department was allowed to ship thousands of firearms to Mexican drug cartels (that have killed untold numbers of Mexicans and at least two U.S. federal agents) without any accountability?
Why is it that the State Department "stood down" forces that could have saved the U.S. ambassador (three other good men)? Don't try to use the liberal/progressive drivel that the House reduced security funding. The funding available for embassy security was actually higher than the year before. They simply reduced the amount of increase. Either way, it wasn't money that stopped the reaction forces from heading into Libya that night, it was Hillary Clinton (who works DIRECTLY for Chairman O).
Those are just two instances of this administration proving that there is a total lack of leadership and any sense of obeying the Constitution and the law.
They make the Democrates Spock?
As of this morning, the mainstream media is not forgetting AP. The DOJ stomped on the mainstream media and possibly Amendment I. Their sources are starting to dry up and they are not happy.
"Activate the self destruct, Scotty."
"Urhura, pretty black lady on coms,
Notify Star thingys that all this are will to become a deep gravitation well from which NO LIGHT OR WHAT MATTERS shall ever escape."
In the mean time I am going to the hanger to inspect the shuttle. Captain only. I want time to think. -
I will bet Spunky Spitoon the Science officer never saw that coming.
What is the saying a "GOOD" captain goes down with the ship.
How fast do you think he can un-ass one???? -
Would any of this make sense if I saw the movie?
If so then I will get back to you after the home release, not worth a big screen. - Load the rest of the comments (7).

Spider-Man soared through the skies of the jam-packed Foxwoods Theatre capturing the attention of the audience. It wasn't because we were worried about an accident that had filled the news in the past; it was the 360 degree acrobats tumbling tricks overhead.
In the opening act Peter Parker (aka Spiderman) played by actor Reeve Carney, is portrayed as a high school outcast who is forced to defend himself against a team of bullies. He also finds his love interest in Mary Jane Watson, played by Kristen Martin. The two had a great chemistry throughout the show.
It was on a class trip to a lab that Peter Parker would be bitten by a technologically altered and mutated spider to gain his super powers. But the bite was not the best part of this scene.
It was the introduction of the villain and mad scientist Norman Osborn who would use his scientific knowledge to transform himself into the Green Goblin. Played by Patrick Page, he brought what I felt to be the most exciting character into the show. From his singing to his comedic lines to the captivating green costume he wore.
Most people assume Spider-Man comes from Manhattan as he is seen swinging from one high scraper to another. But when the police and ambulances were called to the aid of Peter Parker's Uncle Ben, it is proven Spider-Man hails from Queens.
As they called out the street names of their neighborhoods – one after the other ––– was no other than the greatest borough in the nation. This Queens publisher was sure to note this scene.
Besides Spider-Man, other big names attached to this production include Bono and The Edge from the rock band U2. They certainly put their stamp on the show by composing 14 songs including the hit "Rise Above. "
Spider-Man is a show to entertain the entire family from children to grandparents. It lived up to a night of action packed drama from the music to the costumes.
Spider-Man is from Queens

Rise and RunHangover 2: Cure Woes With Laughs And Fool-Proof Remedies
Who hasn't fallen victim to a brutal hangover? Of course, yours may not have involved monkeys, facial tattoos or a fake marriage, but still, the morning after too much to drink can be rough. Cure your woes with these tips!
In 2009, Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms had audiences in stitches with The Hangover, a hilarious depiction of the aftermath of a bachelor party gone wrong. On May 26, they're back for another wedding, another party and another night of misadventures in Hangover 2.
We're not even going to pretend we could hang with this wolf pack. But sometimes, just keeping up with your friends at happy hour can make for a rough morning. There are a lot of myths about curing a hangover (spoiler alert: the hair of the dog doesn't help), but only a few fool-proof remedies for feeling better. When you've over-imbibed, keep these tips in mind:
Skip Caffeine Don't feel alive until after your morning cup of joe? Avoid it after a wild night–combined with the dehydrating effects of alcohol, caffeine saps your body of even more water, resulting in a headache that may be worse than the one you already have. (News flash: it won't sober you up, either.)
Don't Gorge When you wake up with a hangover, it suddenly seems OK to include burgers, pizza and other greasy treats in your breakfast options.
Grease does slow down the rate at which your body absorbs alcohol, but not after the fact!
Post-drinking bingeing on fatty foods will only derail your diet.
Stop a hangover before it starts!
Cancel Your Sweat Session A hardcore workout won't make you feel better–instead, it will make you even more dehydrated (see above). Give your body a break and relax. If you just have to get some exercise in, try yoga–it de-stresses your body and helps you focus on the present, so you'll stop re-living cringe-worthy moments from last night.
Kill the Pain Pick ibuprofen. It inhibits prostaglandin, a pain messenger linked to increased hangover severity. Avoid aspirin, which can irritate your stomach, and ditto acetaminophen: It has to be metabolized by your liver, which is already working overtime from the alcohol.
Catch Hangover 2 in theaters tomorrow!

No Bryn Mawr alumnae/i died in the attacks, but there were close calls, and many have lost friends, colleagues and relatives, including four Haverford alumni. On September 13, the Alumnae Association set up a bulletin board on its website so that alumnae/i could share information about the whereabouts and well-being of classmates and friends. Members of the Bryn Mawr alumnae/i listserv, BMCALUM have discussed, with intelligence and passion, related topics ranging from the grieving process to encryption systems. Alumnae/i may subscribe to the BMCALUMlistserv at: www.brynmawr.edu/Alumnae/listserv.htm. The Alumnae Association's newsgroup bulletin board is at: www.brynmawr.edu/web-news/alumnaeboard.html. Additional information and Bryn Mawr community reactions can be found at www.brynmawr.edu/news/stories/response.shtml and http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/forum/newforum/11sept01-read.html.
News of the first jet crash into One World Trade Center quickly reached many on Bryn Mawr's campus through telephone calls. Stunned and disbelieving, then anguished, staff in administrative offices listened to radios, and faculty and students gathered around a large screen television in the Centennial Campus Center.
President of the College Nancy J. Vickers sent a broadcast e-mail announcing a 2 p.m. community meeting at the Campus Center, which would be used as a gathering and counseling place throughout the day and evening. At Haverford, President Tom Tritton convened a similar forum that filled the Field House. Students were asked not to travel to the University of Pennsylvania or elsewhere in Philadelphia that day, since Mayor John Street closed public offices at noon and increased security at the city's monuments and landmark buildings. Bryn Mawr and Haverford classes were not cancelled, however, and transportation between the two campuses continued to run.
Hundreds of students crowded in the main room of Bryn Mawr's Campus Center, its stairway and balcony until the forum was reconvened on Merion Green, where Vickers and four faculty members spoke briefly before opening discussion.
"We're gathered here because we believe that when events like this occur, it's incredibly important to make connections, to ask questions that we may not be able to answer but whose importance we can acknowledge as a community, and to begin to suggest ways in which people may respond and think about this in the coming days and weeks," said William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Political Science, Marc Ross.
Some students said they felt classes should be cancelled to ease the strain on those worrying about family members. Others asked for advice: "People seem to be getting up to go to the PSB (Park Science Building) or Guild (computing center)," one observed. "I personally am torn. I don't know where my loyalties should lie-should I be here with my fellow sisters and brothers who have been affected by this in many ways, or should I go to class? I and others I've talked to are looking for guidance. What should we be doing?"
Vickers and Ross emphasized that different people would have different ways of coping. "For some, going to class is what they need to do at the moment," Vickers said. "For others, it is completely contraindicated. They need to step back and take a break. Follow your instincts and conscience." Ross added, "Don't be hard on yourself. And be kind to one another." Counselors from the Health Center and deans were on call around the clock, and students were reassured that faculty would understand if they needed to miss classes or deadlines. The deans and other staff members concerned with student life continued discussions of the day's events and their ramifications in dormitory living rooms. Counseling sessions also were held for faculty and staff.
The sky over Bryn Mawr that night, usually full of jets on a long approach to Philadelphia International Airport, was traced only by the lights of military planes going north and south, and circling the city.
Some 200 students from Bryn Mawr, Haverford and Villanova joined in a candlelight vigil on the evening of September 12, walking from Villanova to Haverford and then to Bryn Mawr for a peace discussion in Thomas Great Hall. Bryn Mawr senior Brooke Conley came up with the idea, but deans, students, staff and faculty from the three schools, which rarely all come together, worked hard to organize the vigil.
On Friday, September 14, the College canceled classes between noon and 1 p.m. and allowed non-essential staff to leave campus to attend services at their preferred place of worship between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Several hundred members of the community attended an all-faith gathering in Schwartz Gymnasium conducted in the format of a Quaker meeting.
"Fall Frolic," a picnic and carnival scheduled to be held September 14 on Merion Green, was renamed and reorganized in Thomas Great Hall. Student organizations set up information tables offering ways to participate in the campus and area communities.
Groups on campus have been collecting money for rescue efforts, for survivors of the attacks and for the families of victims. Monica Schmucker of Housekeeping and Alumnae Association receptionist heard on the news that supplies were being collected for rescue workers. "I knew we had some things in House-keeping so I gathered those and made phone calls to Facilities and Com-puting Services in search of other items they needed," she said. "Janice Treen from Housekeeping and I ended up with two car loads of brand new respirators, computing equipment, tons of work gloves, new work boots, bottled water and energy bars that we helped load on a tractor trailer and watched leave for New York City. It was really cool how everyone responded when I put the word out."
Bryn Mawr and Villanova students auctioned off services in Pem East living room that included a day of kayaking on the river, a night of serenades, a bedtime story and tuck-in, and three hours of dorm room cleaning and laundry.
The bi-college Muslim Students Association (MSA), the Jewish Students Association (JSA) and the Christian Fellowship sponsored an a capella concert on September 28 to raise money for Red Cross disaster relief, with performances by the Bryn Mawr Night Owls, the Haverford Humtones and Oxford Blues, and Penn Masala, an all-Indian group. Tamar Anolic '03 and Tua Chaudhur wrote in the Bi-Co, "As an excited crowd streamed in through its huge wooden doors, Thomas GreatHall rang out with a conglomeration of voices. High and low, male and female, white, black, Hispanic, Asian and South Asian, they all came together in an impromptu version of 'The Star Spangled Banner.' People had come from all over the tri-college community to enjoy a night of music and help with a good cause. The Great Hall was packed, and by the screams and cheers that followed every song, it was clear that the rest of the audience was enjoying the performance as much as [we were]."
All appointments for a September 25 blood drive were quickly booked and community members was encouraged to continue to give blood regularly. Students were reminded that while there might not be anything else they could do immediately to help victims or volunteer workers, this was an opportunity to make longer-term commitments to community service.
"One of the ways of dealing with this kind of hate is to become part of the effort to create a better world," said Jim Martin, Associate Professor of Social Work at the Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research. "We can reach out in positive ways by starting with small actions. Volunteer in a community agency. Help a fellow student. Call a homebound relative or neighbor."
Bryn Mawr community service director Jennifer Nichols encouraged students to call or stop by the office to find a volunteer position. "There are many ways to serve this community," she wrote in an e-mail. "Some do service on and off campus. Some are activists and advocates. Some play sports or cheer on teams. Some sing in choirs. Some throw parties to help provide relief from the stresses of course work. All are important ways of celebrating who we are, learning about and serving one another."
Nichols, Associate Professor of Mathematics Victor Donnay, and 16 students traveled to New York City on October 1 with two memorial wreaths of greens collected from around campus. Condolence messages from members of the college community were folded into origami cranes and attached to the wreaths. With the help of Red Cross volunteer Jessica Bass Kirk '91, the wreaths were given to the Red Cross and to a firehouse near Lincoln Center that had lost fire fighters during the rescue attempts. The delegation had lunch with Nancy Fogelson Kirk '59 near the United Nations building, where students accompanying Donnay presented a petition to the Quaker UN Office and the U.S. mission to the UN, asking the UN to create a special International Criminal Tribunal to investigate the attacks as crimes against humanity. Nancy Kirk wrote to President Vickers of the "authentic conversation," she had with the group, "something I've been craving. So much of what people are saying to one another comes from our extreme fear, not our knowledge plus our experience. How heartening and encouraging that we are educating the young to put it all together wisely."
Message to campus from President Vickers
"As we continue to talk with one another in various contexts, I encourage us all to keep in mind the wide diversity in this community-of background, race, religion, political opinion, etc. It is important that we find ways to voice our varying views constructively, with the intention of learning from our conversation. The ground or foundation of such an exchange lies in mutual respect and openness. Bryn Mawr's roots in the Quaker tradition give us a particular commitment to honoring each person's individual beliefs and choices."
Bi-co alumnae/i respond
Laurie Granieri '93 posted to the site: "I never thought I would seek out a digital community, but here I am. I am grateful for this forum because I trust the intelligence and sensitivity of the BMC community. I live in Jersey City, NJ. The WTC was in my face each day; many neighbors in Hoboken are missing. My husband and I are both newspaper journalists, so our natural inclination was to run to the corner store to snap up a stack of papers. We read for hours, weeping and staining our finger tips black. We head for the waterfront, staring at the empty space, the plumes of dust. The thing is, the Mawrter in me-the need to read and read, to study, to digest and analyze information-it fails me here. Knowing the facts doesn't mean I understand them."
In Washington, D.C., Michelle King '98 stood for an hour on her street corner with her lantern lit for the national candlelight vigil.
In the San Francisco Bay area, Bryn Mawr alumnae were encouraged to bring their lanterns for a Bryn Mawr-Haverford gathering in memory of Douglas B. Gardner, Hfd '83, a top executive for the bond trading firm Cantor Fitzgerald who was in his office at One World Trade Center when the first plane crashed. The company's headquarters were located on floors 101-105.
Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard W. Lutnick, Hfd '83, normally would have been at his desk on the 105th floor, but had taken his 5-year-old son to his first day of kindergarten. He arrived at the Trade Center to see it in flames and after trying to find out about his employees had to flee for his life when the south tower collapsed. His younger brother Gary, also at Cantor, telephoned family from his corner office, where he was trapped, to say goodbye. Memorials have also been held for Thomas Glasser, Hfd '82; Calvin J. Gooding, Hfd '84; and Philip Haentzler, Hfd '74, who are missing in New York.
President of the Bryn Mawr Club of New York City, Laura Thomas '87, her husband John and three children, one a newborn, nearly asphyxiated in the evacuation from their apartment, just a block from ground zero. "We were told to stay there and were preparing for an orderly evacuation when the first tower collapsed and the debris cloud covered our building and us," Laura wrote in an e-mail to the Alumnae Association. "We made it down seven flights and took refuge in the refrigerator section of the grocery store in the bottom of our building. Then told by fire marshals to evacuate that area, we walked out about two minutes before the other tower fell ... and were again literally about a minute away from death in dark choking smoke, but broke our way into an apartment and had an air pocket to ride out the second cloud. After the air cleared, we left the building, walked south to a ferry, and were evacuated to New Jersey, where we are staying with my mother-in-law. Briefly hospitalized with cuts on John and some debris and smoke inhalation but nothing more, which I am sure you know is simply extraordinary. My heart is heavier than I can express for all the families and friends who have lost dear ones.
"As of October 2, we are still homeless, barred from our apartment by the federal investigation into the attack-there were plane and body parts in our building complex-and my husband's architecture firm is without office space at 225 Broadway. I've told our babies that we'll be home sooner rather than later, but realistically right now we are economic refugees, searching for a decent NYC apartment to move back into!"
Laura added:"Let me state my certainty not only that New York will rise again, but that our Book Shop will thrive again in its relocated quarters."
Aparna Mukherjee '95, a multimedia forum coordinator for Bloomberg Business News, wrote to the Bulletin "seated at a terminal in the middle of pulling an volunteer all-nighter shift at Bloomberg's emergency relief center. Rest assured the people doing some of the hardest work are in better spirits than you might imagine. But there is no rest for the weary, outside of the comfort food, showers, cots and connections to the world beyond the burning rubble we're offering them here.
"Basically, we're acting as the USO for the military support, firefighters, cops, etc., helping with the search and rescue a few blocks downtown. We provide the food, showers, cots and conversation while they're taking a break. Over the weekend, I also helped to compile the list of the missing and dead for Bloomberg's news wires. I've been talking with relatives and copying information from the thousands of posters that are intended to help locate those who are surely dead-they're really more like compact eulogies. It's mindnumbing."
Monica Schoch-Spana '86, Ph.D., of the Johns Hopkins Center for Civilian Biodefense Studies, conceived and is directing a research effort to respond to the catastrophic attack on the World Trade Center. The project aims to understand the affected communities' immense, positive and organic responses (such as volunteerism, organized non-professional emergency assistance) so that this social phenomenon can be better incorporated into bioterrorism planning and policy development efforts.
Another alumna, Beck Young '86, Ph.D., is a senior researcher on the team as well. Beck lost her office at Two World Trade Center in the attack. The non-profit research organization Beck works for, NDRI, Inc., escaped any employee casualties and hopes to rapidly rebuild.
Return to Winter 2001 highlights
President of the College, Nancy J. Vickers wrote in an e-mail to the campus: "...We are sharing with each other a range of emotions-shock, grief, fear, anger, sadness. Many of our students are learning for the first time a tough lesson about vulnerability. Our lives are never fully within our control, and the world is sometimes an unsafe place. This bitter lesson can provoke a number of creative responses, including an appreciation of every day that comes upon us, and a commitment to learning and serving to the very best of our ability. But as one faculty member said, 'Each of us reacts differently to tragedy, each of us needs to take our own path to healing. A challenge for the community is to create spaces for those differences to play out with a minimum of mutual misunderstanding.' Some of us will embrace the notion of getting back into the swing of life as part of our healing and others will find that difficult if not impossible. I ask that we all be sensitive to these differences, and particularly that faculty be prepared to understand the various needs students may have as they deal with their emotions.
Bryn Mawr and Haverford alumnae/i used the bulletin board set up by the Bryn Mawr Alumnae Association on its website to report and check on the well-being of classmates. (Haverford also has a board.)

Turn out the lights. Light the candles. Tomorrow night (March 28) from 8:30-9:30 (in your time zone)...
Combining the elements of earth and air, this beautiful display of fiery candles amid ice is elemental magic at its most basic. As you watch the flickering flames and ice melting, reflect on winter's beauty and mystery—and share stories of what you most enjoy about the season.
1. Gather your favorite evergreens. Choose a few cuttings each of holly with berries, juniper with berries, cedar, spruce, and pine branches.
2. Pour water into a rectangular plastic container until it's half full. Place 3 to 7 beeswax candles (about three to four inches tall and 2 to 4 inches wide) in the water.
3. Add the evergreens and berries in the container in a pleasing arrangement around the candles. Cover the greens with water so they'll appear to float once frozen.
4. Place in the freezer a few hours (or outdoors if it's cold enough) until frozen solid.
5. Slide out the rectangular block of ice, with greens frozen inside, onto a fireproof plate or old cookie sheet covered with foil.
6. Light the candles. Say a winter prayer, offer a blessing, and be thankful.
The Nose Knows
Make sure the fragrance your candles carry is naturally derived. Look for candles scented with essential oils extracted from berries, roots, leaves, stems, bark, or flowers. Pure essential oils have a venerable past and a tradition of healing for numerous cultures. Avoid synthetic fragrances, which smell strong, are petroleum derived, and contain suspected carcinogens.
Which Wick is Which?
Some wicks contain lead or metal alloys such as zinc or tin that contain lead, which may be unhealthy, particularly for children. Many U.S. candle makers have voluntarily agreed not to sell lead-wicked candles, reports the National Candle Association, but some candles—particularly those from China—-may still contain lead. If you're suspicious about a candle's content, test it for lead by rubbing a piece of clean white paper across the unburned wick. If there's a trace of a metallic, grayish color on the paper, that wick contains lead.

Brooke, Julia (2011) Young Mothers' Experiences of Relationship Abuse. In: Understanding the Social World Conference 2011, 13th - 15th July 2011, University of Huddersfield. (Unpublished)
Metadata only available from this repository.Abstract
Historically, domestic abuse has been constructed as an adult issue, however over recent years there has been increasing awareness that abuse can also occur in adolescent relationships. A recent study of over one thousand 13-17 year olds (Barter et al, 2009) found that at least 75% had experienced some form of relationship abuse, with a quarter of the girls reporting physical assaults. These experiences were often found to have negatively affected girls' health and wellbeing.
Young mothers have been found to be at particular risk of experiencing relationship abuse, which has been shown to have a detrimental effect on the long-term health and development both of themselves and their children (Goddard et al, 2005). In the UK despite ongoing efforts to reduce the teenage pregnancy rate, potential associations between relationship abuse and teenage pregnancy have received little consideration (Coy et al, 2010). In addition, a lack of research with young mothers who have experienced relationship abuse has contributed to a lack of understanding about their needs.
Maintaining a feminist perspective and through the use of narrative interviews, both during pregnancy and once the baby has been born, this research will enable young mothers' who have experienced relationship abuse to tell their stories. The study will contribute to a better understanding of young mothers' experiences, perceptions and support needs and have implications for developing improved professional and agency responses.
This paper will provide an overview of current knowledge regarding young mothers' experiences of relationship abuse along with an exploration of some of the definitional, methodological and ethical challenges that arise when conducting research in this area.

Am I doing it right? (pict. heavy) girls and dogs
When my sister adopted her daughters, she said that I would have to teach them about dogs. She is very busy, and they travel a lot, and while the kids do all kinds of things: dance, Tae Kwon Do (sp?), horse riding, piano, gymnastics, swimming, among other things, they do not own a dog. I have been babysitting them on Sundays and sometimes I get them for a weekend or holiday, and I have babysat them for a couple of weeks.
So, I do feel very confident that the girls will do what I tell them to do and I make sure they are safe first. I thought this would be a good place to show how they have grown. It is hard to believe that these little ones are now seven and almost finished with 2nd grade. Thanks for looking.

It looks good to me. I like how you use the ex pen to keep the children contained. Although I think they could use the trampoline in the last picture to escape.

I agree with Jason. Very clever how you set it up to appear that you are containing puppies inside the x-pen. When in fact, you are containing children.
Clever...very clever indeed..........

Thanks. I go the girls on Sunday after church. After a quick jaunt to PetsMart for more toys -- Jenna chewed all of the little one's toys, so now they must be supervised. We ate at the Home Town Buffet, and then rushed home to set up the yard.
The girls helped me drag the x-pens up and set them up. They carried the trampoline out, and filled the water bucket. The helped me set up chairs, and distribute toys. Then we carried Mufasa and Morgan out. After a few minutes, Elena came in with me and she and I scrubbed their area. I showed her how to paper a whelping box and let her help with that. Then after applying sunscreen, and returning Mufasa and Morgan to their area, we carried the little ones outside. I left Jenna out with Elena in the pen while Analisa and I cleaned their area and put more papers down. Then we all went outside. Other than playing with puppies, we did math, and studied for the religion test, watched Buck Rodgers. They played with my little people. While Analisa was working on homework, Elena told me she was bored, so I put a stool up to the sink and had her wash the dishes. She thought that was kool. LOL! I am reading them Little Town on the Prarie, and The Magician's Nephew. In the morning, I made them eggs and bacon and blueberry muffins. They like to give their leftovers to Babsy. They are all excited that Babs is wearing her "diapie." I let watch Prince Caspian, while we were eating breakfast, and another busy day. Lots of homework. But we got a lot of puppy-time in too. I was lucky to get them home by 9:30. A school night. I am hoping to train them how to train Muf. We put a collar and lead on him, and I had Elena follow him with the leash. Then, I showed each of them how to lure him into a sit with a treat, and how to give him the treat immediately. They are animal lovers. And they listen to instructions well.

I took the little guy, Mufasa, over to my other sister's kids this afternoon, and then we went to dog class, but just to sit on the sidelines. The girls I have in the classes are in heat so they are grounded, so I brought the boy.
No pictures of Gwen and Andrea with the pup. The boy passed out in the car on the way home. LOL!

York County DNA lab to help ease backlog of cases
No longer will police in York County have to wait several months to a year for a speck of saliva to match a burglary suspect or a blood stain to uncover the identity of a wanted killer.
Housed in the lower level of the York County Sheriff's Office at the Moss Justice Center in York is a fully equipped and newly opened DNA lab. The lab was recently accredited by Forensic Quality Services, the nation's longest established accrediting body for forensic laboratories.
Two technicians operate the lab – a supervisor and a DNA analyst. They work among machines that can mix chemicals in a tornado-like swirl, and storage spaces stockpiled with evidence packets.
In a room where the door is etched with a sign that reads "Danger Laser Beams: Do Not Look Directly At Laser Lights", a tall machine that makes beeping noises and glows – called a robot – dispatches silver cylinders and rotating slides that will imprint DNA profiles into a computer and help analysts determine if the DNA under a slide matches evidence in a case.
"You will see this one on the TV shows," said Cristy Kissel, the lab's DNA technical leader. "It's a genetic analyzer."
In a room next to it is the Hamilton STARlet, capable of extracting pieces of DNA from clothes and other materials and safeguard them against contamination.
With that arsenal at their disposal, Kissel and analyst Emily Campbell will be able to test DNA collected by any law enforcement agency in York County. The aim is to give authorities forensic answers and resolve cases quickly.
Before the York County lab opened, law enforcement officials relied on the State Law Enforcement Division's crime forensics lab to test DNA and evidence. But the SLED lab – which conducts similar tests from police agencies across the state – is experiencing a backlog. It was not uncommon for York County authorities to wait months, even a year, for results from a DNA test, Sheriff Bruce Bryant said.
"If we have something real serious," it can be tested immediately and the process for results expedited.
But, Bryant said, the York County lab is not meant to work miracles.
"DNA is not like what you see on TV," he said, acknowledging there is still a process to the science. "You don't just drop it in a machine" and get results.
Bryant stressed the lab isn't a tool to only incriminate; it also exonerates if DNA testing can prove someone accused of a crime is innocent.
Collecting DNA, testing it, writing reports and receiving results can take at least eight hours "if we needed to," Kissel said. Sometimes, she said, she's asked to put a rush order on certain DNA samples for "really serious" cases. Other times, she and Campbell have to process several items of clothing and submit samples for a weeks-long screening process.
Kissel said she's hoping that, for most cases, the process takes only 60 to 90 days.
The kinds of evidence the Sheriff's Office lab will test can range from blood, saliva and seminal fluid to nails, fingerprints and bones.
The lab has been three years in the making, Kissel said.
When she first started working at the Sheriff's Office, the lab was little more than a room in need of a retrofit. She spent the last three years bringing in new equipment and preparing her work space.
The lab, equipment and much of Kissel's salary for three years were funded by drug forfeiture money and grants. Now that it's been accredited, the lab falls under the auspices of county funding, costing about $125,000 a year to operate.
One day, it's possible Kissel and Campbell might start looking at some of the county's older unsolved, cold cases. But, for now, their priority rests with addressing other backlogs from police agencies.
Already, Kissel said, investigators with the Rock Hill, Fort Mill and York police departments have submitted DNA samples to be tested.

In May 2003 a memorial stone to Reverend Heathcote was re-erected in the playing field adjacent to Old School Close. Ash Parish Council saved the stone from Heathcote School when it was demolished, and has safeguarded it until it could be re-sited, in the playing field which formerly belonged to Heathcote School. The stone commemorates the service to the community of Reverend Heathcote, and the inscription reads as follows. |
THE LIBERALITY CARE AND LOVE SHEWN BY THE REV GILBERT WALL HEATHCOTE FOR THE PARISH SCHOOL WHILST RECTOR 1835-1884 THIS CLASS ROOM HAS BEEN ERECTED BY HIS FRIENDS IN THE UNAVOIDABLE ABSENCE OF MRS HEATHCOTE THIS STONE WAS LAID BY HER NIECE ST ANDREWS DAY 1894 The Reverend Gilbert Wall Heathcote MA came from a prominent Winchester family whose family home was at Hursley Park, now the headquarters of IBM in England. Sir William Heathcote was Governor of the Bank of England, and was responsible for harnessing the skills of a Frenchman in making banknote paper in Hampshire, a trade mentioned by William Cobbett in his book Rural Rides. Florence Nightingale was a great family friend of the Heathcotes. Reverend Heathcote was Rector of St Peter's Church in Ash from 1838 until 1884, the longest serving Rector in the history of the parish. He and his wife lived in the Old Rectory in Church Lane until 1863, when he was appointed Bursar of Winchester College and a curate took charge of St Peter's. The enlargement of St Peter's Church in 1864, including a new nave and chancel and a new spire, was proposed by Reverend Heathcote and carried out largely as a result of his personal generosity. It is said that Reverend Heathcote wrote the Winchester College school song, which is still sung today; and he is buried at Winchester, within the College precincts. The east window at St Peter's Church is a memorial to him given by his widow Clara Rosalie, who is buried in the churchyard at St Peter's, alongside the south wall just to the left of the priest's door in the old chancel.

While good quality and a correct prescription still remain a top concern for patients, other factors such as designer, style, and fashion have become just as high of a priority. Designer eyewear has changed the way people feel about wearing eyeglasses.

Go raibh maith agat! Thanks for Visiting Our Site The people at Bible Baptist Church Ballincollig invite you to come visit a church that cares! Our mission is to direct people to a full faith in Jesus Christ alone, according to the Bible alone, so that they can experience life that is never alone! The emphasis of every meeting is the life-changing study of the word of God, and the challenge to live for Him in this sinful age. You will find no rituals here - we just follow the Lord Jesus according to His own words! It is called Christianity! Churches, religious councils, and denominations all claim to speak for God. But Jesus basically said, "I'll speak for myself!" There truly is no other way to know what God thinks or feels about us than by studying what He said in the Bible. Our meetings therefore centre on studying the Bible to learn what is the right way to live and how to effectively care about people. Our Lord cares about people where they are at, and we are living testimonies of His life-changing love! We gather together on a Sunday as a group, and also in small Bible studies in various homes throughout each week. There are many opportunities for anyone to learn the word of God personally, even by e-mail, and the Internet! We intend for our generation to learn what it means to know, trust, love, and fully follow the world's only Saviour, Jesus Christ! Come learn how to personally know and love the Almighty Creator, who came to be your Saviour! You must understand that if Jesus is not your Saviour, then one day, He will be your Judge! If the study of the Bible interests you, or even if you are just curious, then we invite you to come and discover a place where you can see, hear, and experience simple, yet genuine love for God, His perfect word, and for each other! That's what a Christians church is all about! Contact us if you have any questions, or need further information, ring Pastor Craig at (021) 4871234, or (087) 276-6764, or email Craig. He is available day and night.

Frequently Asked Questions
Technical Help
Why doesn't my Flash video start playing?
NOTE: This answer applies to embedded videos on our full site, not the downloadable videos on the mobile site.
Situation: You are trying to view a video via our standard video player. This is the player that is embedded in our standard page design and seen in various places throughout the site, such as Disease Management Strategies or About Us. When clicking to start the video, you see a small cursor that spins clockwise indicating that the video is buffering and loading, but it never begins to play. If it is loading properly, you will see a numbered percentage in the center that gets larger and larger until the video is buffered enough and it can begin playing.
There are three possible reasons that this is happening:
- If the cursor is spinning but no numbers ever appear, 9 times out of 10 it is because you do not have the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer. Downloading and installing the latest version should resolve this.
- Streaming Flash video uses the RTMP protocol over port 1935, and that port could be blocked by an end-user's firewall. Check with your IT department about allowing traffic on port 1935.
- You may have a very slow connection to the Internet, and the video is loading but it will take a long time to buffer. If numbers appear at the center of the spinning cursor, even if it's "stuck" at 0%, that would indicate that it is working but it is taking too long to receive the video.

List: | MySQL on Win32 | « Previous MessageNext Message » | |
From: | Greg Dunko | Date: | October 1 2009 3:08pm |
Subject: | DLL plugin on Win32 doesn't log to host.err | ||
View as plain text |
We developed a freetext parser plugin for MySQL as a built-in plugin in preparation for MySQL's suppot of dynamic plugins on win32. We just downloaded the 5.1.39 release of MySQL, and converted the plugin to a DLL. Things seem to be working fine however the logging that we do to stderr does not wind up in the HOST.err file in MySQL's data directory. This was working fine with the built-in plugin but as a DLL it has failed. Does anyone know why this might be? I was starting to question static vs dynamic linking of the C runtime or differences between what compiler MySQL is built with vs what we have. Is there information on these things, as the docs don't seem to mention them and they could be important.
