It applies to all TAP routes.
Checked Luggage
This is luggage handed over to TAP for which a claim tag is issued.
This luggage is transported in the plane's cargo hold and, for security reasons, in the same plane in which the passenger travels.

Checked luggage must not contain:
- Fragile and perishable items;
- Essential medication;
- Keys;

If the geographically longest or most significant stretch of your journey is not operated by TAP, but by another airline, this airline's rules and charges may also apply to TAP flights or TAP flight numbers.
If TAP operates the geographically longest or most significant stretch of the journey, then the rules and charges currently in effectiveness will apply.
USA DOT (Department of Transportation Office) rule effective since 23rd August 2012
For passengers whose ultimate ticketed origin or destination is a U.S. point, U.S. and foreign carriers must apply the baggage allowances and fees that apply at the beginning of a passenger's itinerary throughout his or her entire itinerary. In the case of code-share flights that form part of an itinerary whose ultimate ticketed origin or destination is a U.S. point, U.S. and foreign carriers must apply the baggage allowances and fees of the marketing carrier throughout the itinerary to the extent that they differ from those of any operating carrier.

International Applicants
The Cleveland Institute of Music welcomes students from many countries. Today, nearly 30% of students enrolled at CIM are from outside the United States. Admission requirements are the same for all applicants, regardless of citizenship. Additional procedures, however, result from immigration regulations, different educational backgrounds, and financial considerations.
CIM's International Student Advisor, Kristen Zalar, offers many resources to support international students and enrich their educational experience. Please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Zalar with your questions or concerns.
Required documents
To be considered, each document you submit in a language other than English must be accompanied by a notarized English translation from the issuing institution or a recognized translation service. If degree equivalency cannot be determined, you will be required to provide the transcript through World Education Services. We will not accept documents submitted without notarized translations.
For a complete list of required supporting documents, please see the page that corresponds with your situation:
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
If English is not an official language in your home country, you must complete the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). The CIM school code for TOEFL is 1124. When registering for the test or when ordering a score report, no departmental code is necessary. Log into your TOEFL iBT account to order a score report.
You must upload your TOEFL score report at the time of application. No audition will be scheduled without the required TOEFL score (see below).
Minimum scores required to schedule an audition:
- Bachelor of Music - 61 (iBT)
- Master of Music - 61 (iBT)
- Doctor of Musical Arts - 90 (iBT)
- Artist Certificate, Artist Diploma, and Professional Studies - 61 (iBT)
Minimum scores required to be considered for acceptance:
- Bachelor of Music - 79 (iBT)
- Master of Music - 79 (iBT)
- Doctor of Musical Arts - 100 (iBT)
- Artist Certificate, Artist Diploma, and Professional Studies - 61 (iBT)
Passport and visa requirements
Before leaving your home country, you must obtain a passport from your country of citizenship. The passport expiration date must be at least six months later than your intended date of entry into the United States. International applicants who are already in the U.S. must also be prepared to provide authoritative documentation concerning entry into the U.S. (passport, visa, etc.).
During the application process, we will email audition date confirmations to everyone planning live auditions in Cleveland. Once your audition date is confirmed, you may use a copy of this email to obtain a B-2 visa for entry into the United States. A U.S. Consular Post may, in some cases, additionally require a "letter of invitation" from CIM for the visa interview. You may request an invitation letter from the CIM Admission Office at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Financial aid for international students
Prior to confirming your student status, the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security requires you to document the ability to pay for the first year at CIM. You must obtain the I-20 needed to get the F-1 visa. While this requirement only pertains to ability to pay for the first year, please plan ahead and consider your ability to fund your remaining time at CIM.
If you have a sponsor or other aid to help pay the first year, and it is not available in subsequent years, CIM shall not be expected to make up the difference. Remember, the CIM Scholarship is renewable at the SAME dollar amount each year for the normal duration of the program (assuming GPA, academic and artistic progress requirements are being met). Newly admitted international applicants must show documentation of ability to pay prior to being confirmed as a new student and this process should be complete by the April 15 (graduate) or May 1 (undergraduate) Intent to Enroll deadlines.

Top Story
Book Review: When Truth Lies: A Journey With Schizophrenia by Terry Garahan
Louis Publishing Group (2011), $11.99
By Doug Bradley, NAMI Information & Referral Assistant
This novel is an honest and at times raw description of living with schizophrenia. When Truth Lies, while a work of fiction, realistically portrays the onset of schizophrenia in a young man, the response of society to his behaviors, his often contentious relationship to the mental health system, and his long term coping with his illness.
At the novel's beginning in 1967, Kevin has just graduated from high school in upstate New York. While Kevin is experiencing some mental discomfort, such as feeling that classmates are looking at him like they know something secret about him, these feelings do not get in the way of his finishing school. Nor do they interfere with his helping his father's construction business and having his first romance, although the intrusive thoughts and voices do make life increasingly difficult.
As the book progresses, Kevin joins the army but gets discharged due to his behavior. He then goes to work on a commune where he is hailed as a visionary until he frightens the hippies he works with. Incoherent, unable to get out of his bed and soiling his pants, Kevin is abandoned at an emergency room by the people who had preached universal love and charity. The leader of the commune believed that "society was mad, not the people in it." Nonetheless, the commune people wash their hands of Kevin who enters the state psychiatric system.
The description of hospital life is also unflinching. From doctors who try to help but are often naïve to those who are downright cruel, from staff who are marking time until their retirement to those who are kind and could get better paying jobs elsewhere but for some reason stay on, the good and the bad are shown.
Another subject the book does not shy away from is sex and its complications, particularly for someone with mental illness. When Truth Lies shows how individuals in institutions experience relationships, whether consensual, inappropriate, or downright predatory, with other patients and staff members. While these passages may be discomforting to some readers, this is an aspect of institutional life that happens but is not often discussed.
The book also deals with Kevin living on the streets outside the hospital. While this portion of the book is no doubt familiar and painful to family members, it is enlightening for how some individuals living with mental illness experience everyday reality and life on the streets.
I have two quibbles with When Truth Lies. The first is that the setting and treatments (e.g. the large state hospital, the medicines) seem dated. While some individuals with mental illness still in large institutions and older medicines are used, the picture now is more varied. I don't mean to imply that everything is better, just that there are (in theory) more options now for consumers and families. Some of the characters could have been more fully drawn, but this is a minor complaint.
When Truth Lies goes beyond bland clinical terms and describes in detail what many people go through. This book puts a human face, and an often uncomfortable one, on severe mental illness and the treatment system.

I'm very inclined to go for the mac mini over the iMac
I have been waiting for the iMac since Nov 2011, and after the long wait, I found the update very disappointing because (for the iMac 21"):
- No firewire (I wouldn't mind FW 800 only, but nothing?), I don't want another adapter
- No audio input (why??)
- Sub-par HDD (5400rpm, why?), the SSD is too small, and fusion doesn't convince me and it is more expensive than a standard 7200 HDD and an extra SSD
- Not user upgradeable (so no chance to save some more and in the future upgrade by myself the RAM and HDD or add an extra SSD). This is one of the main points for my upcoming decision, I'm not going to pay almost 4 times what I can get at Crucial, or changing the HDD in the future isn't possible.
- All in one, the screen could get damaged and the all unit has to be sent for repair, or the opposite, the motherboard could die and the screen could be rendered useless.
Looking at all these, and I never even payed much attention to the mac mini, I started to look at it and what I really like:
- user upgradeable (I can get 16GB of RAM for about 80 EUR, and at Apple they charge 300 EUR and don't even give me the original 4 GB); I can change the HDD, or even swap it with another HDD or SSD.
- I can add another HDD or SSD!
- it has firewire
- it has an audio input
- comes with the adapter for a DVI monitor, I can plug it already to my monitor
- cheaper
I'm inclined to ditch the iMac purchase and go for the mac mini (i7 2.6GHz), the only doubt is if it will perform as well as the iMac, the advantages of the iMac for me are:
- nice screen (I do have a nice one already and will probably buy another one, but nothing compared to the one on the iMac)
- dedicated graphics card
- more powerful (?)
Will the mac mini perform as well? User upgradeability is important for me, and also the silence and temperature, I don't know if the mac mini is silent or warm/hot...
Is this a good idea? I mean, Apple could listen to the consumer (cough, cough) and maybe release an updated iMac with a proper HDD and user upgradeable RAM, chance to add an extra HDD or SSD (let me dream, ok?)
Your input will be helpful, thanks!
|Nov 14, 2012, 01:47 PM
IMO it's a GREAT idea. Despite the integrated display, the Mini is a better value purchase.

Depends what you're using it for really.
Focusing on the graphics, the Intel HD 4000 will suffice for many people, but if you're doing video editing or gaming, you'd be much better off getting a computer with a dedicated card, like the iMac.
The points you listed are agreeable, but bear in mind that the iMac has two Thunderbolt ports over a FireWire and Thunderbolt port, and you can get an adapter for FireWire to Thunderbolt. I know you said you don't want to fiddle with another adapter, but the one from Apple is very short, it's not a big deal. I bought one and it's perfectly adequate.
I think the headphone port doubles as audio in...at least it should do...bit stupid to leave it out.
Go for what you feel is best, if you need a dedicated graphics card, go for the iMac. At the end of the day, I think the Mac mini is going to be cheaper, but you're not going to have as good specs.
|Nov 14, 2012, 06:07 PM
I was looking at doing this myself but want the good and lightweight screen that comes with the iMac. It will cost less to get the that i7 2.6, with fusion and 16 gig of RAM (especially if you do that yourself) than the 21.5 iMac that allows fusion. For me the iMac seems to be winning. I am going to wait for the teardown to make a final decision. Now that my mid 2007 (running Snow Leopard) has 4gig of ram, I can hold off a bit.
If you have not been following the threads over in the mini section, you might want to take a look. There are apparently known issues with the HD4000 graphics. Apparently Intel is having trouble fixing.
|Nov 15, 2012, 04:39 AM
What really makes me go away from the iMac is the fact that if I want to upgrade it, it should be done at the time of purchase, and I will have to pay premium. Also the HDD or Fusion option (nevermind the small SDD), I really would prefer a HDD and a separate SSD, if they removed the ODD why not use the space?
And the price, that is the most important here, the iMac became more expensive and its much more expensive than the Mac Mini (I do have a monitor, so that could be a plus for the Mini).
Aditionaly, the lack of FW, not such a big deal, but that means I would have to spend more money on an adapter (all my backups are done on external FW drives).
The audio input I doubt the single connection on the iMac serves both ways, really strange move from Apple, I wonder why they did that? That isn't a big deal, but it will make have to get another adapter, more money, more rubish on the desk.
Finally, the time of purchase, I would like to take advantage of the black friday discounts (not from Apple apparently, but other vendors can discount the Mac Mini), and finally the release of the iMac, because if it rocks I may consider getting it. Decisions, I wish I had more money to spend on the Mac.
I think the main concern for me is to know if the graphic card will stand for the work I do with it. I believe I can return it if I don't like it, correct?
EDIT: I just read the iMac may be delayed to the start of 2013, that is a big weight on anyones' decision, you can't buy something that isn't available.

I use two monitors, 1280x1024 (4x3 ratio), so I will have to get an adapter for the second monitor, I suppose the Mini will stand both monitors without much lag?
For the software I do have CS4 but will have to go for open source or cheaper, money is really an issue right now, that's why the Mini feels like the better purchase right now. And if the iMac gets delayed as rumoured, this may suffice.
I plan to get the 16GB of RAM very soon after the purchase I know it will make a nice diference, and add an extra SSD along the way (not right now), the 5400rpm is sad, (not that slow, because I've used a 5400 on a MBP, but still not as fast as a 7200rpm HDD). A SSD is never a bad drive to have, I think most will agree, I just can't stand the idea of an SSD only setup (unless it would be one of those 700MB ultra-expensive drive).
Indeed I will probably buy at Apple or somewhere where they accept returns, either for the iMac or the Mac Mini.
Is the Mini silent and not very hot?
|Nov 15, 2012, 05:37 AM
With the new uncertainty surrounding the new Imac's and with two buddies waiting for 21.5" models, I'm starting to think that the Mini with a Fusion drive might suit them just as well...My only concern is the purchase of a separate monitor which would push up the price a little.
If Apple don't confirm November delivery dates for the Imac soon, I think I may start looking closely at the Mini as a viable alternative. Neither of them does any real heavy lifting, and I was looking at the base 21.5's for both of them anyway....What's the general take on monitors? There is no way either of them could afford an Apple screen, but I hear various reports on Dell Ultrasharp offerings etc.
It's been a good few years since I bought or even priced a non-Apple screen.
Thats Not All Folks
|Nov 15, 2012, 05:58 AM
I totally agree. The Mac Mini is an interesting alternative. Especially when you already have a good (big) monitor or want to buy one. I like the fact that it's easier to do upgrades, such as install a new harddisk or more memory.
The thing that kills it for me is the GPU. The previous mini's had a dedicated graphics chip. As I'm also into gaming, the Intel HD 4000 isn't good enough. It's a good chip, but it's weak at anti-aliasing and such. Not really futureproof. Maybe it's an option when external GPU's via Thunderbolt are common.
|Nov 15, 2012, 06:04 AM
The mini supposedly gets pretty hot. I don't know how noisy it gets. I can tell you my macbook pro can get noisier than my mac pro, but in Creative Suite, it's not constantly noisy, and painting is generally very smooth. I keep gpu path anti-aliasing turned off as it makes paths too difficult to see against certain backgrounds.

Second, w.r.t. what you mentioned, I think thunderbolt and USB3.0 are enough for any kind of input. USB3.0 can be used as an audio input. The real trick component I think is the Fusion Drive. It is a good way to bypass the expensive pure SSD and the low-speed HDD. It has convinced me as a good option for large and fast storage, even though it will cost around extra $250.
The idea 'all in one' itself is very attractive to me, since it helps me to get a power desktop and me to maintain a clean, simple and beautiful working room.
I would not compare any Mac product with PC. If your wish is a power game center, the PC, Xbox, etc., are all better options. Mac is rather a personal addiction which maintains the pursue of simple and nice computer culture.
|Nov 15, 2012, 06:30 AM
Also why not keep the FW? the Mini has it (probably not for long as it was taken out on the iMac).
The lack of these two inputs would make me have to get two adapters, more money spent...
I'm not convinced because I wonder what happens if the HDD has a problem? both units (HDD + SSD) are useless, correct?
|Nov 15, 2012, 08:46 AM
|Nov 15, 2012, 08:47 AM
The Mac mini I bought for my parents has FW, but the time I or my parents use it is ZERO .
I think you do not need an adapter for audio in, there are plenty of audio-in devices support USB.
By the way, a friend of mine has a five year old macbook, it never shows problems on the HDD. I personally trust the quality of Apple product .
|Nov 15, 2012, 09:32 AM
|Nov 15, 2012, 09:46 AM
thought so..
I also thought to buy the mac mini and add 27" screen, if you do the math you will get to the price of the Imac 27 more or less with even worse machine.
So no option but to wait.
The good side in this story is that we see some apple history, by far this is the first time they ****ed up so big.
(when we buy our 27" imac in the jan or fab we can say that we bought it in the year where apple missed the dead line for a year...)
|Nov 15, 2012, 09:51 AM
They will sell in Jan/Feb and ship just in time when the other companies start selling machines with the new 2013 intel CPUs
|Nov 15, 2012, 10:00 AM
By "keeping the HDD" I meant buying the Mac with the HDD and afterwards getting the extra SSD, this way I will spend the extra 300 EUR but with the advantage of keeping the original HDD that I can use or sell helping me to maybe buy a faster HDD.
If I were to buy the SSD only, they don't give me the HDD, see my point?
Anyone know if we can use the Fusion + an extra SSD?
|Nov 15, 2012, 10:44 AM
The second half is more likely.
There are a couple other things I should mention. Search the existing threads. Some people have experienced some trouble with hdmi on the mini, and HD4000 bugs. I mean bugs, not so much raw power. I can't imagine you're dealing with 10k+ resolution in your files. I've dealt with some huge files, and it would take quite a bit to lag the OpenGL drawing under normal circumstances. When I mention others having specifically lagged it, they were dealing with files that went into GB combined with large displays. These applications also aren't upping their requirements very quickly. Even the original creative suite moved around a lot of data. It's just pushing more through ram and less through scratch disks now.

I'm using CS6 from the creative cloud subscription on my old 2008 24" bottom of the line iMac... my biggest issue is ram... I use it all constantly. But everything is usable. I just have to close illustrator to use photoshop and vice versa.
The more I think about this, the more I want to just get a mini. If only they had not gone with integrated graphics... That is the one thing I'm just not sure about. I'd also prefer to max out ram at 32GB but 16 would be better than what I've got now.
A mini i7 maxed out + a couple dell u2713hm monitors is becoming more and more attractive to me
|Nov 15, 2012, 11:38 AM
but the more I read the integrated graphics would not work out for what I want to do... if Apple had kept the option to add a gfx card, or released the 27" imac right now, I'd be pleased...

I very rarely do anything video intensive. I mostly use photoshop + aperture + illustrator + xcode/coda etc on a daily basis.
Also wishing the samsung series 9 monitors were as cheap as the dell, but right now they're on sale $200 off at best buy for $999, the same as the thunderbolt... not sure if one is really better than the other.
Can a mini effectively push two 2560x1440 displays? guessing it can't push 2 thunderbolts + hdmi

Well…simply put, I am tempted to believe that a loving Creator couldn't possibly judge people to eternal punishment. Like you, I don't think the punishment really fits the crime, so to speak. Of course, these thoughts are exceptionally selective, and don't give the big redemptive picture. Love is rooted in God's nature, but so is righteous indignation and wrath against sin. The Santa Claus sky daddy that even many Christians say they believe in is a false god, one based on their own feelings. Secondly, I perceive that the punishment doesn't fit the crime, because I only think in finite terms and I don't take sin against God seriously enough. The God of Scripture cannot bear sin in his presence and his wrath is always against it…hence the atonement of Christ to salvation for all who believe. If that seems a little harsh, imagine a god who created all the world and doesn't care at all about sin…the picture is far worse.
Yes and no. Your explanation would make sense if the existence of hell was a matter of fact. It doesn't matter how I feel about the idea of, say, plate tectonics - it simply IS true, regardless of how it makes me feel. But the existence of hell is not a matter of fact. It is a matter of belief - and more to the point, it is a matter of acceptance or rejection of a pre-packaged idea. And in the absence of any evidence in support of the existence of hell, the potential believer's emotion on the subject is very relevant indeed.
Just as I believe that the most basic of all facts is the existence of the Triune God, so I believe that Hell is also a fact.
That's kind of circular, though, Clay, isn't it? You are presuming that God is indeed just and good and therefore concluding that hell must serve a purpose that is just and good. When unsettled by the horror of the idea of torturing anyone for eternity, you quell this discomfort with the circular reasoning that it MUST be OK, good and just because God is just and good - by definition! Or more to the point, by fiat! Is this how you justify the God-ordained genocide of the Amalekites? The slaughter at Jericho? God, whom you declare a priori to be good and just, ordered it, therefore it IS good and just?
With all due respect and deference to your intelligence, Clay (and I am not being sarcastic here), this is simply an act of refusing to actually practice discernment, to really think about this issue. It is giving up by saying God wants it this way, it MUST be good and just.
Well everyone has to start somewhere, Rami. All worldviews are circular at bottom. The simplest answer to your questions is I don't have to justify God in using Israel to judge the Amalekites. God's will and His holiness stands wholly apart from my ability to judge him. And as Van Til put it, a finite person judging the Creator of all things is like a child, held up on his father's knee, slapping his father in the face. I believe the existence of God provides the only basis for rationality and moral indignation. You shouldn't have any reason to be upset about God killing the Amalekites anymore than I should, because a "godless" universe (as Doug Wilson told Hitchens in debate) doesn't care what happens to Amalekites, or anything else for that matter. It's really not giving up. In the context of the Christian worldview, it makes sense that God has good and just purposes for doing what he's doing. I could even explain some of those…but for someone who is picking out things they don't like from Scripture, the overarching themes and redemptive purposes will make no difference.
Hell is a way of keeping the faithful faithful.
Again, I don't this does the Christian faith justice, in fact I know personally that it doesn't. If this were true, no one would believe. Hell is one piece of a complete Christian faith based in Scripture and God's revelation that best explains life and existence. If Hell is what keeps the faithful faithful, then this should be at the forefront of believers' minds when you ask them why they believe, right? In my experience, it is the riches of Christ and the work of the Spirit of God that keeps the faithful faithful, by evidence and testimony.
I hope your reasoning is more sophisticated than that.
Again, there is no reasoning outside of the revealed will of God. The reality of Hell is what drives (or should drive) a Christian to public testimony and the preaching and teaching of the Gospel. You have to at least admit that Rami…the Christian who accepts the truths of Scripture and keeps it himself and hides it away is acting in direct defiance to the mandates of Scripture…a city on a hill cannot be hidden. Indeed, I don't believe anyone will be in Hell unjustly…does that take faith? Sure it does.
But again, the fear creeps in when doubt creeps in. Faith is the means by which one is saved. When doubt erodes faith, salvation is in jeopardy. Doubt leads to hellfire, basically. And the Bible is full of passages that teach that one must not doubt, but trust and obey.
Actually its interesting how little language there is connecting doubt with hell, or loss of salvation - which of course, is impossible. The Bible says to work out your salvation with fear and trembling…which is essentially to say that we should be sober-minded and constantly striving. Faith has an object, which is Christ. It's not some esoteric state of mind that we need to maintain and if we don't we lose it. Our salvation is built on faith that Jesus is the Christ and died in our place. There is no point of no return… And, of course, when we do trust and obey, we see God's grace at work in our lives. It's more than just a feeling. I've gone through about two years now of fighting my own thoughts and working things out in my own mind. I don't feel like a "strong Christian" as I once did, but I'm still resting ultimately on the promises of God.
And no Rami, I certainly would take no pleasure at the thought of you in Hell, I would rather you turn to the living God and be freed from the bondage of sin. I imagine we could be very good friends!
As a side note…you mentioned something about heavenly bliss for believers. It is often misunderstood by unbelievers (and many believers too) that heaven is some kind of eternal cloud party of monotonous singing and kneeling. However, the historic Christian faith holds that we will "live" again, with a new heavens and earth and new bodies, free of sin and death, in fellowship with and worshipping the Triune God. That's not meant to try and win you or anything, its just a distinction I think needs to be made. I think its likely that there will be good beer, food, and conversation in the life hereafter…can't say that for sure, but I don't think God would get rid of these things, among many others!

Multicultural Ambassadors work to raise awareness during Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week, November 9-18, 2012.
Kirsten and Aaron, two of our amazing Multicultural Ambassadors, share facts about hunger and homelessness in our communities and helpful information with passers-by. Donations of food and funds were accepted throughout the week. All of the food goes to a local soup kitchen to help out the Stephenville-area. The funds go to the Red Cross to help with shelter needs for victims of Super Storm Sandy.
Students participate in the Night Out event - sleeping outside and braving the wind and weather - to kick off Hunger & Homeless Awareness Week, November 9, 2012.
After a windy evening worrying about food and shelter items to block the wind, students considered what they would do without a home. Students crafted signs and held a discussion about privilege as Dr. and Mrs. Dottavio visited. Over the evening, students had discussions about food and shelter insecurities while exploring a night out in the elements. See more about this event from the perspective of our student bloggers.

Terry call me I got our ringer for the 3 man throw down
Hi Terry, got your message and I appreciate it. I will always be there to help with any course I can. I too am confused as to why some feel the need for two clubs. This thing started, I think because a few people got upset over what I don't know, and started another club. A few people have caused this whole thing with a bunch of lies and egos in conflict. I have been accused of a lot of crap along with DLG. I would like to see the clubs combine someday, but for now I am trying to further cooperation between the groups and see what happens. I will stick with the LDGC because I was in the original group that started the old Louisville Frisbee disc Club back in 1979, The LDGC traces it's roots back to then. Our club has the long history in this area and it is my "home"club. Maybe I'll see you at the Goat Farm. By the way, thanks to you for all your work. You have been there working most of the time I have been, so you have kudos coming as much as I do.
Wiggle me wiggle this.. wiggle is no more.
Hey Man,
I have no R-Bosses but did you check with Eddie and see if he had any?
Hey Terry, I had a rough night of drinking but still ended up going out to Buffalo and I played the shorts the first round and shot 8 over and then the longs and i wont mention that score it was horrible. I did leave the Orange Champion Roadrunner that you gave me there somewhere on the shorts but no idea where so if you can keep an eye out I hope to go back tomorrow and walk thru and look again couldnt find it today so its marked I hope somebody will call. Give me a shout when u get some free time
Happy Birthday Terry!

Federal contracts aren't slowing down any time soon, according to base officials; and local businesses have ample opportunity to make a bid for them.
The Swansboro Area Chamber of Commerce held a general membership meeting on Wednesday with a guest speaker from the office of small business programs aboard
"Contracts will continue to be funneled through the Naval Acquisition System," said Rozier, the deputy of the program. "No formal decision has been made regarding the reduction of contracting."
Nearly 50 residents, elected officials and Chamber of Commerce members gathered at the Icehouse Waterfront Restaurant in Swansboro on Wednesday to discuss local affairs, as well as an upcoming event at
"The expo is … so small business owners can learn about current and changing procurement procedures," Rozier said. "More importantly it reassures those that are interested that the opportunity remains."
The government is looking for numerous contracts to be awarded, Rozier said after the presentation.
"We are looking across the board," he said. "It's a broad spectrum of things we procure, and it's a dynamic environment with a lot of contracting opportunities."
For one Swansboro resident attending the meeting, the path to obtaining a federal contract was a difficult one.
"It's not as easy as they say it is," said Linwood Hood, 53, the owner of 24/7 Electrical Services. "There's a whole lot more to it than they say.
"If you're not in a small business of at least 15 people you don't have a chance. We contract with ECIM and Atlantic Communities and we had to bid, bid and bid."
Tomorrow will not be like yesterday, said Rozier; and the mayor of Swansboro, Scott Chadwick said he is glad to hear that.
"We love to keep some of the federal money the government is spending in our local economy," Chadwick said. "We are happy they came and made an effort to bring in small businesses. They presented information every business owner needs to know. It takes some of the fear out of it."
It's more than just a business relationship, Chadwick said.
"Our local economy has been somewhat sheltered by the base and we are very appreciative," Chadwick said. "Our relationship with the base is very important to us."

The plain white house squats on a dead-end street. A few feet away, a twin pair of steel tracks bisect South Lafayette Street.
At the front of 1024 Railroad Ave., the mesh fabric is missing from the screen door and lined up on the inner ledge of the closed-in porch are a dozen Dos Equis beer bottles, glinting emerald green in the weak winter sunlight. Someone else lives here now. But in the fall of 2003, it belonged to 79-year-old Margaret Tessneer.
An elderly neighbor, still afraid to give her name, remembers the Saturday morning 10 years ago when Tessneer's daughter beat on her front door, hysterical and crying that her mother was sick.
When emergency responders arrived, they pronounced Tessneer dead.
It was just before 11 a.m. on Sept. 20, 2003.
Woman found dead, raped
For the second time in two months, the lifeless body of an elderly Shelby woman was found lying on her bed.
In two more months, another woman would die a couple miles away.
In each of the three cases, the women died alone, phone lines cut or damaged. Autopsies determined either a natural cause of death or couldn't pinpoint a conclusive explanation.
Although no cause of death could be discovered in Tessneer's case, in the medical examiner's report it states suffocation could not be proven or ruled out. Despite no obvious signs of foul play — no gunshot or knife wounds — the details surrounding her death were disturbing.
Not only were the phone lines pulled out of the interface box, rendering the line useless, but the screen door had been slit and the front door left unlocked. Underneath her bedroom window, police found a cement block. In the autopsy report, numerous bruises are documented all over her body — from her feet, to her chest, thighs, arms and abdomen.
She had also been raped.
In the following months, detectives poured hours into the investigation, creating suspect lists, interviewing neighbors and questioning a homeless man the family suspected. Investigators followed up on any and every lead thrown their way.
Person sought for questioning
Ultimately, it was the rape that led to one man's arrest six years after Tessneer died.
After the third woman's death on Nov. 10, 2003, neighbors told police they had seen Donald Eugene Borders hurrying away from Lillian Mullinax's Chestnut Street house carrying a bag. Police questioned him about the incident and he told detectives, in a written statement, that he had been in the neighborhood to retrieve a Jeep he loaned to a friend. He denied being near the elderly woman's house.
In the spring of 2004, police put out a notice via the media that they were searching for Borders in order to question him about the three deaths.
Then-Police Chief Tandy Carter said the man was a possible witness, but not a suspect. When Borders saw his name in the news, he contacted police. He was staying at a homeless shelter in Charlotte.
In March, police said they spoke with Borders. Then he went his way and they went theirs.
For nearly four years, the case was quiet.
DNA a match
Then, in 2009, news that Borders was arrested and charged with the murder and rape of Margaret Tessneer made headlines across the region.
Police said Borders' DNA was a match with DNA from Tessneer's underwear.
Last year, Borders' attorney, David Teddy, filed a motion to suppress the DNA evidence on the grounds that law enforcement officers violated his rights when they collected a cigarette without Borders' knowledge.
A DNA sample was collected from the cigarette butt.
Superior Court Judge Richard Boner denied the motion to suppress.
The trial is scheduled to begin Monday with jury selection.
Teddy said he has no comment about the upcoming trial or the alleged connection between Borders and Mullinax.
There have been no charges in the deaths of the two other women, and the cases remain under scrutiny.
Police recently said there wasn't enough evidence to tie Borders back to the other women, but the possibility of solving the cases is still there.
Family maintains innocence
Donald Eugene Borders has been in jail since his 2009 arrest.
He has a strong family support system, including his daughter, who regularly visits him.
Taft Borders, Donald Borders' uncle, said he is the unofficial spokesman for the family and that his nephew has maintained his innocence over the years.
Taft Borders said he was aware of Donald Borders criminal history in the past — including multiple convictions for breaking into homes from the late 1990s up until he served a two year prison sentence in 2000 — but wasn't close to the situation.
He said his nephew lived a transient life, staying in and out of homeless shelters and other times with his mother at her home on Doc Wehunt Road near Cherryville.
"We don't understand," Taft Borders said. "He didn't have a permanent place he called home."
He said Donald Borders has always been a very intelligent person.
Married in the past, he has a son in Greesboro and a daughter who lives in Cherryville.
Taft Borders said as recently as Wednesday, Donald Borders told his uncle he was innocent.
"We just hope we get true justice" Taft Borders said. "The only thing we have to say is we are a very religious family, and we are trusting and hoping in the Lord for a fair trial."
Taft Borders said he worries the recent publicity surrounding Donald Borders, and The Star's series on the three women, will impact a jury.
He hopes they will remain impartial.
"We support him 100 percent as a family," Taft Borders said.

Changing Men - Coach DeVries
It is Wednesday afternoon (August 13, 2008), and I decided to bring my computer the training session at ABC FC in order to write my thoughts of the last few days as Beto takes take the guys through their routine. As I sit here I am still amazed at the love for the sport that the Brazilians have. We started our session as the ABC FC senior team was going through a post game workout. While ABC FC was practicing the must have been 20-25 people that showed up just to watch the practice. The most fascinating thing about this was the fact that they stay long after ABC FC was done to watch the young Americans from Minnesota complete their practice. My time here with the team is more then I could ever expect as a coach. I have sat back and watched every single one of these young men be changed somehow. They are all leaving this incredible country better men – I feel it is best for you to read of their transformation then me to write of them – enjoy – Coach DeVries

Chu's Day
Chu's Day (Hardcover)
Chu is a little panda with a big sneeze.
When Chu sneezes, bad things happen.
Will Chu sneeze today?
About the Author
Neil Gaiman has written award-winning books for children and adults, including the Newbery Medal-winning novel The Graveyard Book and Coraline, Stardust, and Odd and the Frost Giants. His picture books include Instructions and Blueberry Girl, illustrated by Charles Vess; The Wolves in the Walls, The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish, and Crazy Hair, illustrated by Dave McKean; and The Dangerous Alphabet, illustrated by Gris Grimly. A baby giant panda once sat on his lap and ate bamboo in Chengdu, China.
Praise for Chu's Day…
"Kids will find the idea of a monstrous sneeze funny, and it may prompt some attempts of their own. Rex's richly detailed illustrations are brimming with fantastic touches. Share this one at toddler storytime for lots of giggles, or one-on-one for spotting details in the art."
"Gaiman's comic timing gets a boost from strategic book design and from Rex's hyperreal paintings, which emphasize Chu's round, fuzzy form and apparent harmlessness. Gaiman and Rex deliver a classic one-two-three punch, making hay from the notion that a cuddly baby panda is not to be trusted."

Dynamic Compilation and Adaptive Optimization in Virtual Machines
- Authors: ''Matthew Arnold, Stephen Fink, David Grove, and Michael Hind''
- Instructor: Michael Hind
- Conference: ACACES'06, July 24-28, 2006 (This is an updated version of the PLDI'04 tutorial)
- Abstract:
- The past decade has witnessed the widespread adoption of programming languages designed to execute on virtual machines, such as the Java and C# programming language. However, such languages face significant performance challenges beyond those confronted by traditional languages. First, portable program representations and dynamic language features, force the deferral of most optimizations until runtime, inducing runtime optimization overhead. Second, modular program representations preclude many forms of whole-program inter-procedural optimization. Third, virtual machines incur additional costs for runtime services such as security guarantees and automatic memory management. To address these challenges, mainstream virtual machine implementations include substantial infrastructure for online profiling, dynamic compilation, and feedback-directed optimization. As a result, adaptive optimization has begun to mature as a widespread production-level technology.
- This course will survey the state-of-the-art in the areas of dynamic compilation and adaptive optimization in virtual machines. Dynamic compilation is the process of dynamically optimizing a portable representation, such as Java byte codes, into native code. Adaptive optimization is the online decision process that determines the overall strategy for profiling and employing dynamic compilation. In addition to surveying the state-of-the-art, and highlighting the many topics for open research in this area, this course will also debunk several misconceptions about these two topics, such as
- Dynamic compilers must be blazingly fast.
- Dynamic class loading is a fundamental roadblock to cross-method optimization.
- A static compiler can always get better performance than a dynamic compiler.
- Sophisticated profiling is too expensive to perform online.
- Program optimization is a dead field.
- Lack of a suitable infrastructure is a significant barrier to research in this area.

- The Jikes Research Virtual Machine (RVM) is a software infrastructure designed to execute Java programs typically used in programming language implementation research. The Jikes RVM is available as an open source project. The Jikes RVM provides the academic and research communities with a flexible open testbed to prototype new virtual machine technologies and experiment with various design alternatives. A large number of academic research groups have already adopted it. It runs on AIX, Linux, and OS X platforms and demonstrates industrial strength performance for many benchmark programs. The Jikes RVM includes state-of-the-art technologies for dynamic compilation, adaptive optimization, garbage collection, thread scheduling, and synchronization.
- This tutorial presents an overview of the Jikes RVM optimizing compiler. The first part of the tutorial covers the structure of the compiler, focusing on the requirements, goals, and design of its intermediate representation (IR). The second part of the tutorial covers some of the compiler's extensive set of analyses and optimizations, ranging from simple local analyzes to SSA-based flow-sensitive optimizations with type-based heap analysis. The last part covers the integration of the optimizing compiler into the adaptive optimization system, focusing on instrumentation compilation and feedback-directed optimizations.
- Specific issues to be covered include: optimizing the memory model, precise exceptions, and dynamic class loading; compiler requirements for runtime support of garbage collection maps, scheduling (yield points), exception tables, line number information; compiler/runtime system cooperation for fast object allocation and runtime services (for example dynamic type checking or invokeinterface); compiler structure for multiple platforms; tracing an interesting method (for example, one of our enumeration loops from the compiler) through key optimizations to illustrate how type analysis, inlining, scalar replacement, plus a set of traditional optimizations work together; etc.

- Conference: PLDI '02, June 16, 2002 (PLDI '02 Tutorial)
- Abstract:
- The Jikes Research Virtual Machine (RVM) is a software infrastructure designed to execute Java programs typically used in programming language implementation research. The system runs on the AIX™/PowerPC™ Linux ®/PowerPC, and Linux/IA-32 platforms and demonstrates industrial strength performance for many benchmark programs. Many academic groups have adopted the Jikes RVM as their primary research infrastructure, resulting in publications in leading conferences such as PLDI '02 and ISMM '02. In the first six months since its open source release the VM has been downloaded by over 1000 different IP addresses, including over 70 universities around the world.
- This two-hour tutorial presents an overview of the Jikes RVM optimizing compiler. The first part of the tutorial covers the structure of the compiler, focusing on the requirements, goals, and design of its intermediate representation (IR). The second part of the tutorial covers some of the compiler's extensive set of analyses and optimizations, ranging from simple local analyses to SSA-based flow-sensitive optimizations with type-based heap analysis. Time permitting, we will highlight the integration of the optimizing compiler into the adaptive optimization system.

The Design and Implementation of the Jalapeño Research VM for Java
- Presentors: ''Dick Attanasio and Michael Hind''
- Conference: International Conference on Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques, September 9, 2001 (PACT01 Tutorial)
- Abstract:
- The design and implementation of a high-performing Java virtual machine is a formidable task. Over the past three years IBM researchers have developed the Jalapeno research virtual machine for Java as a high-performing server platform. To address the requirements of servers, performance and scalability in particular, Jalapeño was designed from scratch to be as self-sufficient as possible.
- Key design features of Jalapeño include
- the entire VM is implemented in the Java programming language,
- a flexible online adaptive optimization infrastructure, implemented as concurrent Java threads, utilizes two compilers and no interpreter guided by a cost-benefit model
- a family of parallel, type-exact garbage collectors,
- a lightweight thread package with compiler-supported preemption, and
- an aggressive optimizing compiler with multiplel optimization levels.
- This full-day tutorial will share the lessons learned from the design and implementation of Jalapeño. Design decisions will be contrasted to other Java implementations.

Issues in High-Performance Programming in Java
- Authors: ''Bowen Alpern and Susan Flynn-Hummel''
- Conference: High Performance Computing System, June 13th, 1999 (HPCS '99 Tutorial)
- Abstract:
- Java is a modern object-oriented type-safe programming language with automatic memory management. These features make it attractive to anyone responsible for developing and maintaining a large software project. Its multithreading support is a further inducement to those anxious to exploit parallel processing hardware. To date, however, there has been a performance penulty for using the language. For the vast majority of programming efforts, this is marginal concern at most. But, for performance programming, any degradation in performance is a potential show stopper.
- Java performance has improved markedly in the last year or two. The advent of a second generation of Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler technology promises to further close the performance gap between Java and traditional languages for most applications. This raises the question: will Java ever be the language of choice for performance-critical applications?
- Unfortunately, the jury is still out. The Java Grande forum has been established to address the problems with using Java for computationally intensive science and engineering applications. Under its auspices, a number of interesting projects are underway. Proposals for improving Java performance run a bewildering gamut from idioms to be used by the programmer, through bytecode and JIT optimization techniques, to major language changes.
- This tutorial will systematically identify and classify the aspects of Java that are problematic from the performance point of view. It will then chart the terrain upon which such issues might be addressed. Finally, it will survey approaches to improving Java performance.

Channel surfing with the Watcher ...
"American Idol" presented us this week with the most shocking result in ages: The judges judged!
Given the opportunity at last to judge live performances – and allow us to judge their capabilities – Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey exceeded any expectations. They spoke in complete sentences, made specific comments about the performances and managed to disagree with each other without dissolving into tickle fights.
Even the notorious lump Randy Jackson seemed inspired by his compatriots, as he never once said "you could sing the phone book."
The only downside to the new crew: Four judges are too many. By the time Mariah gets her turn to speak, everything that needs to be said about a particular performance has been exhausted.
But given the world of improvement over last year's indifferent crew of Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez and the old Randy – and let's not even mention past horrors Paula Abdul and Kara DioGuardi – we'll take a little too much judging over far too little.
•The powers that be at "American Idol" are taking a novel approach to severing the winning streak of the "white guy with guitar": They aren't letting any in the contest. The guys getting put through are an interesting combination of talents and personalities, but no one will mistake Charlie Askew for Phillip Phillips.
•"America's Got Talent," which last year had its own judging upgrade by trading Piers Morgan for Howard Stern, will bring on ex-Spice Girl Mel B to take the place of Sharon Osbourne. Like Sharon and Piers, Mel B is British – because you don't want too many Americans judging "America's Got Talent."
•It's been a tough 2013 for the broadcast networks. Their new and returning series have been seriously underperforming compared with the shows they replaced. Even CBS hasn't been immune. Its new reality series "The Job" made it through all of two episodes before being yanked from the schedule. We knew the show would have trouble when it couldn't even assemble a decent promo, and our fears were realized when we saw the dreary and silly show. "Undercover Boss" is returning to take its place.
•The best new show of the season belongs to cable network FX. But "The Americans" has done only moderately well in the ratings, falling short of the FX's big hits like "Sons of Anarchy" and "Justified." Nonetheless, it has done well enough to earn a second season. FX renewed the show last week.
•Am I the last person to realize that Stassi Schroeder, the breakout star of "Vanderpump Rules," is the same Stassi Schroeder who participated in "The Amazing Race: Family Edition" back in 2005?
•The Watcher's Oscar predictions: Seth Macfarlane will be funnier than many expect, the show will run over the scheduled three hours and we will be bored for the bulk of the evening.
What the Watcher is watching this week.
1. "Top Chef" (Bravo, Wednesday) – The finale: Brooke wins?
