AboutSenior Federal Law Enforcement Investigator assigned to the Fringe Division Science Team.
Dunham was involved in an intimate relationship with her work partner, John Scott, in the year leading up to the Flight 627 incident (Pilot). They were sharing a bed at an unidentified motel at the time the plane made its automated landing. When Olivia's cell phone rang, she addressed the caller as "sir" and immediately dressed and left the motel. She was later annoyed when Broyles trivialized her participation in the investigation by referring to her as "liaison" in a sarcastic tone, sending her on what appeared to be a useless inquiry at a storage facility and quibbling over her identification of Walter Bishop as a potentially valuable person. While investigating, Olivia has her first encounter with Nina Sharp, who mentions The Pattern. By the end of the first episode, Olivia had won Broyles' respect.
When assigned to investigate the death of a woman who died giving birth of baby who, in turn, died of old age within three hours, Olivia recognized similarities to a serial murder case she and John Scott had worked. The serial murderer killed his victims to remove their pituitary glands. Olivia has her second encounter with Nina when the Science Team needs to borrow a high technology camera. While waiting to see Nina, Olivia imagined Broyles asking her if she was "safe" the last time she was intimate. She was startled, then entered a dream sequence in which she became pregnant nearly to term; the dream ended when Nina's assistant announced that Sharp was available to talk to Olivia. After tracking down the killer, who was unable to acquire enough pituitary glands to prevent his aging. Olivia watches as the man dies of old age. Olivia is surprised when, upon returning the camera to Massive Dynamic, Nina offers her a job at Massive Dynamic, luring her away from her Federal law enforcement duties.
On her birthday (The Cure) she received an envelope with no postage containing an unsigned card. The message on the card was "Thinking of you."
Before his death, Dunham confided in her friend, Senior Agent Charlie Francis, who was aware of her secretive relationship. He consoled her on the loss of Agent Scott.
She has travelled to the alternate universe multiple times, covertly and overtly, and has met with William Bell and most of this universe's counterparts. She has been captured by US Secretary of Defense Bishop, who attempted to implant the memories of his Agent Dunham in her.
BackgroundWhen she was three years old, Olivia live in military base housing near Jacksonville, Florida, where her father was stationed. During a telephone conversation with Nina Sharp (Ability), she learns Cortexiphan, previously thought to have been tried only in Ohio, was held in Jacksonville, using school children as test subjects.
As a child, Olivia suffered because her stepfather, when drunk, would abuse her mother after accusing her of seeing other men. Olivia's mother never reported the assaults to the police. When Olivia was nine, her stepfather broke her mother's nose and left the house, driving away. Olivia heard her stepfather's car returning; she picked up his handgun and shot him twice when he entered the house. She regrets not having killed him. He recovered from his wounds and one day, without warning, departed for an unknown destination. Olivia told Peter that she first knew what she wanted to do in life since she was nine.
At some point, Olivia attended boarding school (Safe).
While serving as a US Marine Corps special investigator, Dunham helped prosecute the best friend of her current supervisor, DHS Special Agent Phillip Broyles. Charges involved the assault of three Marine Corps privates.
At some point in her life, Olivia acquired the ability to remember sequences of numbers and to count cards.
On her birthday, Olivia receives mail from her estranged stepfather to remind her that he is still out there somewhere.
While abducted (Bound), Olivia received a spinal tap ordered by David Jones to determine if she had Cortexiphan in her system. The results were positive.

Why do girls think I'm shorter than I am?
It's really annoying because I'm 5'8 and girls think I'm short. I know it's definitely not tall, but still it's NOT short... There is this one girl... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
5'8 - 5'11 is the average for American dudes I believe.
So your average height.
But I'm an amazon coming in at 5' 9, 6'2 in heels so, you'd be short to me - I'm tall for a girl though so, nothing to fret about really.
I guess height is equated with intimidation which is equated with the male fundamental icon of strength. So bigger guys just seem more appealing. Emphasis on seem.
But a man is a man - you come in a variety of shapes and sizes so.
I'm really confused that I always appear shorter than I am. I think I got side tracked and asked two different questions haha. But why do girls think I'm shorter than I am?
- Show Older Hide Older
For some reason girls around me seem about the same height as me. Which would put most girls around 5'7 to 5'8 which is way off from the accepted average of 5'5 for women. I think 5'5 is thrown off because of latinos, africans, and Asians are shorter on average. White women are way taller than 5'5...usually..
Well that'd be why. You have girls who are your height - the idea is that guys are suppose to be taller than the girls, so they think your short for a guy because your at their female height.
What Girls Said 4
5'8 is probably shorter than average for men but I think that most women are a lot shorter than that so your good. Personally I wouldn't care but I guess some girls like guys 6 foot and taller :p
It is shorter than average but I'd still call it lower average. Short is like 5'6 and below...
I don't know why girls think you are short 5'8 isn't that short it's average.
I Find that really tall guys 6+ is just really cute ( guys shorter than that are too), I think the height makes me see them differently, I don't know. Wear, high shoes with really long pants so they don't look like heels, but you can still be tall. :)
What Guys Said 3
Well, that's because most girls are led to believe they should only be with taller guys, and think there are an unlimited supply of us. It is silly. I'm 6'1", but most guys in the United States aren't that tall. I can't date all the girls out there, nor can any other tall guy. I do have some shorter male friends that are good with women though, and they generally are very funny or have something else which helps women overlook the fact that they are shorter. Hang in there man!
Thanks! For some reason girls think a man has to be 6' or taller. If he is less than that he isn't manly enough heh
- Show Older Hide Older
If it were that simple...I'm extremely serious in nature
That's tough. Girls like humor in general in guys, tall and short. That's not to say you can't be serious, but don't be serious more often than being funny, otherwise girls will think you have a "short man" complex, i.e. a short guy that is angry that he was born shorter. Hope this helps!
LOLOL, oh my god! That's so harsh, hahahaa. Wear boots. I wear boots with three inch heels. Not for height reasons, I didn't even realize until like a year after. But it makes me taller, because the only time I take my boots off is when I'm in bed. I'm 5'6, but I'm de facto 5'9.
Haha I should get boots with 3 inch heels. Then I would be almost 6' which would be amazing. I'm just curious how many more looks from girls I'd get if I were 6' tall...hmm this calls for an experiment.
Yeah. The problem is though, if you genuinely wear tall boots just to look taller, you will get caught out eventually and f***ing *railed*.
Most women are heightist, you see.
I think this is a very truthful statement.
Yup. Height matters to many women in the way that looks matter to many men. It isn't a death sentence either way, it just means you probably need to compensate somewhere else.
They did a study thing, like, where they found out that heightism in the workplace is comparable to racism and sexism in gravity.
Have an opinion?

This brilliant debut is a scathingly hilarious send-up of celebrity, sexual politics, corporate America, and the fleeting status that comes with getting to the table first before the other guy has you for lunch.
©1999 Maxx Barry; (P)2006 Blackstone Audio Inc.
"Seductively hip....Wickedly funny." (USA Today)
"Barry's delightful first novel delivers a charming and hilarious send-up of the wicked world of marketing....This terrific comic novel is certain to provoke as many belly laughs in print as it might one day on screen." (Booklist)
"A deft, satirical indictment of an industry that makes its living pushing satire, Syrup is understandably deep in hip meta references. What distinguishes the novel from, say, a Thomas Frank-style critique is that it never gets mushy, even after Scat lands the girl." (SPIN)
I love to read. With two kids and a full time job in management, audio books have emerged as my only chance to leverage this love.
"Perfect Satire"
Maxx Barry is a master of satire. Company is one of my favorite books of light reading so I was ecstatic to find another Barry book on Audible.
I'm a Credit snob and I always feel like I'm getting ripped off if the book is under 18 hours. This book is a classic case of quality over quantity. I found myself alone in the car laughing out loud on multiple occasions.
With simple efficient writing and uncomplicate characters that don't need a lot of development, Barry gets to spend the entire book making fun of big business and (in this case) marketing. With that said, I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and could relate to them as being the extreme's of people I have met before.
If you are looking for some deep thought provoking literature, this isn't it. If you just got done reading Ayn Rand and need a brain break, this is 5 star perfect.
Tell us about yourself!
"Light Reading"
This was a very fun and light read. Not many twists and turns but still very funny satire. The book presents an interesting and accurate perspective of corporate america and especially the male dominated marketing world. Scott Brick adds to the quality of the writing with his outstanding narrator skills.
"Funny and Fast"
Syrup is a hip and all-around entertaining novel. While this book was fast paced it was un predictable and well written. This story will provide you a small taste of the corporate world and the line "and I'm homeless again" will have you laughing throughout the book.
"fun book"
for people who like satire and Maxx Barry's work: the book is Amazing. I got the book when I couldn't find the book anywhere else, which leads me to believe audible is the last source for this book.
for those that don't get/comprehend satire....:find another book...?
"Syrup is sweet"
From the author of Jennifer Government and Company, Comes another satirical masterpiece. This Time his target is Marketing. When Scat comes up a Million dollar Idea for a new type of Coke, he thinks he's on the way to easy street. When his idea is stolen, he teams up with a 6 , a highly intelligent and mysterious woman to come up with the next Million idea. With shots at everything from celebrities to Coke itself. it's a great ride to follow Scat, 6 and their friends, enemies through their ups and downs. The narrator does a good job and the story is classic Max or Maxx Barry it moves at a steady pace and doesn't get tangled up. a good listen or read if you get the chance. also catch his other books if you liked them you like this one. and vice versa.
"Very Enjoyable"
I know opinions differ, but the other reviews surprised me. I totally enjoyed this and was dissappointed when I found that Audible didn't have any other of Maxx Barry's titles. Very funny, and Scott Brick is a very good narrator. I laughed out loud in many places, and that's not something I normally do.
"Never gave up on Scott Brick or Max Barry before"
I'm not sure if I should blame Scott Brick or Max Barry but I didn't finish this book. The main female character is an unrelenting bitch and the main male character is such a doormat doofus I started to hate him for putting up with her.
I think Scott Brick misread the female character. In my opinion she was meant to be coldly calculating but he reads every word she says like she's about to fly into a rage.
Just my opinion. I normally enjoy this author and narrator both.
"Maxx Barry Disappoints with Syrup"
Perhaps because advertising is my profession, I may have had more issues with this book than the average reader. Marketing and Advertising are not the same thing. Getting around that for me made the book less appealing.
Maxx Barry typically has a fantastic sense of humor and a biting satirical view of consumerist and technology culture. Syrup had some of that but lacked some of the darker insights from his previous books. This was not Jennifer Government. I wasn't a fan of either of the lead characters and though I think the flimsy love story was a metaphor for "marketing" I still found it pointless to the story. With most of Maxx Barry's work you have to suspend disbelief but in doing so, you kind of want it to go even further out there to make that worthwhile.
"Interesting for market nerds"
Mostly interesting. I had to force myself through the last few hours. It seemed to become predictable. Pretty good though.
People say I resemble my dog (and vice-versa). He can hear sounds I can't hear, but I'm the one who listens to audiobooks.
"Things Don't Necessarily Go Better At Coke"
This is the third book by Max Barry that I've read (the prior two in print), and as a former participant in the corporate work force as both employee and executive, I have enjoyed his biting satires of that world. Jennifer Government imagines a world in which corporations operate with minimal governmental regulation and go so far as killing people as part of their marketing campaigns. Company imagines a corporation in which employees don't actually know what their company produces, and what happens when one of them tries to find out.
Syrup, Barry's first novel, examines marketing techniques and internal corporate politics set inside the Coco-Cola Company. Like its successors, it starts with a smart but naive young man just trying to do his job and get ahead, a strong and sexy woman who has the power to make his personal and professional dreams come true, a cold-blooded nemesis who lies and cheats his way to the top, and a spectrum of corporate drones, mindless media types, inept executives, and hip outsiders.
All three books had the same effect on me: I loved their initial premise, liked the characters, bought into the parody for the most part, but ultimately felt that the satire, following a vicious course of logic, strayed a little too far into surrealism. They are all good in the end, all good overall, but there is something unsettling about a strict devotion to the internal logic of the premise taking the story to illogical conclusions. In Syrup, the primary result is repetition in the final act, which costs Barry one star in my estimation.
I got this audiobook when I saw Barry's name, based on past experience with him, and never even looked at the narrator. I wasn't more than three minutes in when I felt the need to increase the playback speed to 1.25, and as soon as I did so, I thought -- this must be Scott Brick. Sure enough. I didn't recognize him at first because this is not as plodding as his normal pace of narration, but it still needed that little bit of speed to pick things up.

The Bruins are ready to go, and by all accounts, the TD Garden crowd will be ready to pick up right where it left off last season on Thursday night.
That's when the B's will open their 2011-12 season in a season opener that will carry more weight than any other in a long time. To a man, the Bruins are excited about the Stanley Cup banner ceremony that will take place before the opener against the Flyers.
As excited as the Bruins are to see what's in store, they also know that once the pomp and circumstance is through, it's time to get back on the ice and try to defend their title.
See the video above from NESN Daily for more from Bruins practice on Wednesday, as well as analysis from Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley.

Miley Cyrus has officially twerked her way to the top of the Billboard charts. Her latest album, Bangerz, sold 270,000 copies over the past week–nearly three times as many copies as her previous album moved in its debut–giving the 20-year-old her fifth No. 1 album.
The news shouldn't come as much of a surprise, given the surge of publicity around Cyrus in the wake of her controversial VMA performance on August 25th. Her single,"Wrecking Ball Ball," released the same day, notched 90,000 downloads in the week that followed. The song's video, which featured Cyrus swinging naked from an actual wrecking ball, clocked over 200 million YouTube views in a month.
Throughout the leadup to Bangerz, Cyrus has earned plenty of condemnation along with all the attention. The Parents Television Council issued a press release declaring that her VMA performance "substituted talent with sex." Fellow singer Sinead O'Connor penned several open letters warning Cyrus about the dangers of being exploited by the music industry, inciting a Twitter feud between the two women. Countless parents have sounded off, some noting they'll never again buy any products related to Cyrus–or her former alter-ego, tween sensation Hannah Montana.
And that's exactly the point.
Everything that Miley Cyrus has done over the past few months has been part of a concerted effort to put as much distance between the young star and the character she once played. That's one of the specialties of her manager, Larry Rudolph–he also manages former teen star Britney Spears. And although he declined to comment for this story, he recently summed up Cyrus' VMA performance by saying, "It could not have gone better."
Cyrus herself has described the shift in her image even more clearly. In her Saturday Night Live monologue earlier this month, she declared: "I'm not going to do Hannah Montana, but I can give you an update. She was murdered."
SNL is meant to be funny, but Cyrus' statement was about as serious as it gets. Everything seems to be going according to plan. Though some have accused Cyrus and her team of chasing YouTube views and record sales at the expense of her image, the new Cyrus seems to be as marketable as ever.
"Miley went from like No. 350 on my list of most requested celebrities for brand partnerships to the top ten, practically overnight," says Adam Kluger, president of product placement firm the Kluger Agency. "She's not difficult to sell. If it's an edgy brand, it's going to work."
To be sure, by doing away with Hannah Montana, Cyrus and her team have killed a golden goose of sorts. Fueled by earnings from the final days of her portrayal of the Disney character, Cyrus pulled in $48 million in 2010. She probably won't match that total this year. But the Hannah Montana shtick wasn't going to last forever.
"It's never easy to transition from being a kid to a grown-up entertainer, particularly when you've made your mark as a G-Rated celebrity," says entertainment attorney Lori Landew of Fox Fox Rothschild, who had a hand in Britney Spears' first record deal. "Again and again, we see these young people struggling with how to be taken seriously as artists when they are so strongly associated with an image or brand."
Both Landew and Kluger believe the "new Miley" could be sustainable–as long as it truly represents part of her personality. And her antics, crude as they may be, don't seem too far from the norm for a partygoing college-aged youngster.
"This doesn't mean that this personality can't change again," adds Landew. "One need only look at the many faces of Christina [Aguilera] through her formative years or Madonna, for that matter, to know that artists can evolve and stay relevant in an ever-changing market."
In other words, as Cyrus herself said on SNL: "I'm only 20 years old, I need some freedom to grow up and make mistakes. And no matter what happens, I promise I'll always be true to Miley Cyrus."
It seems that will hold true regardless of what Hannah Montana fans–and their parents–think about it.

l just picked up the book, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder by Richard Louv and I'm really excite to give it a read.
Has anyone else out read this national best-seller?
Haven't read the book but it sounds interesting. You may be interested to know that the Sierra Club has group that leads urban youth out for camping weekends. A very rewarding and fun event to be a part of!
yes---a little repetative throughout, but certainly a critical message.
I realize this is an old post - but wondering what you thought of the book? Would you write a review of it?
I used to work in housing projects in Toronto - and it's amazing how many people in the city have never seen a starry filled sky! Thankfully I have lots of opportunities to get my little boy out on camping and fishing trips quite often.

Dr. Neil Smith's Ratings
I first saw Dr. Neil Smith in early 2011..... his lack of compassion almost cost me my life. I had an undiagnosed "lump" on or around my thyroid that was not able to be bioposied due to its location - he just blew it off that it was "probably nothing" I stuck with my gut and got a second opinion with Dr. Timothy Brown. He did my surgery and removed a 6cm lymphnode below my left side thyroid and was diagnosed with thyroid cancer AND unicentric Castleman's disease. If I had listened to Dr. Neil Smith, I would not be alive today.

After seeing two ENTs in another province who both misdiagnosed my condition, it took Dr. Smith 15 minutes to find out what was actually wrong with me. I was previously diagnosed with Meniere's Syndrome and lived like that for 15 years. In my first visit with Dr. Smith he diagnosed my condition immediately and has changed my life immensely. I have seen him on several occasions over the past 4 years and he has always been very polite, knowledgeable and extremely professional. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

I have been going to an ENT with my issues for years but Dr. Smith actually got me results!!! I was suffering with sinus pain he was the first to say well let get a CT scan to see what's going on?? He told me he would not give up until we knew exactly what was going on. He is Confident and I always know I am in good hands...

Very intelligent, diagnosed me very quickly. Surgery was a different matter. Multiple complications including being rush to the emergency room twice. I found him to be distracted, and lazy in his follow-up care. My condition was more of a nusance to him than a requirement of care.

I was reffered to see Dr. Neil Smith by my family doctor. The entire appointment went great. The staff was fast and efficient, the office was spotless clean, and most importantly, Dr. Smith was incredibly professional and very helpful. He is very knowledgable and gives all his attention to the patient. He explained to me in details the results of my sleep study, recommended solution to take care of my issue. He took the time and answered all my questions and examined my nose and mouth as well. I had a great experience and would highly recommend Dr. Neil Smith. Thank you!

Dr. Smith is very kind and compassionate. He's an outstanding professional, he explains very clearly what is happening, how he can help you and see's you though til you are on the mend. You can "believe" in what he tells you. His receptionist will schedule you when you need an appointment and is always polite. A very caring environment. I can say, I am very grateful to be in Dr. Smith's care.

Dr. Smith was excellent. He explained my problem in depth. The procedure was exactly what he said it was and my recovery has gone exactly as he said it was. All equipment was state of the art. I am an American who developed an acute problem while working in Canada. His office made a place in his schedule for me because of my problem. Dr. Smith treated me with kindness and respect. I'm sure I will be billed for the procedure but patient care was what was most important. I wish he practiced in my home town of Santa Barbara, CA.

This man gave me the creeps. He didn't explain anything and I was told not to ask him questions. He treated me as if I were a lower life form wasting his time. I barely got home before breaking down sobbing. I could not understand how he could so easily dismiss anyone the way I was dismissed. I refuse to ever see him again. My dentist wants me to see an ENT & I said ok..so long as it isn't Neil Smith.

After 7 long painfull years, Dr Smith in under 10 minutes discovered what was wrong with me (sampters triad) and set the wheels in motion for a course of action. Now four weeks after my surgery I fell amazing, I can breathe, smell, taste, sleep a full night, work without feeling like I'm about to die. The man is nothing short of a GENIUS. I know that I will have to have repeat surgey over the course of my life BUT the difference that Dr Smith has made to both me and my family cannot be rated high enough here......This was the single most effective use of time and resource that I have encountered with the endless doctor and hospital visits over the past seven years.....So in summary, this site does not have a high enough rating to score Dr Neil Smith with...he is simply a star and a credit to his profession.

MSU students get rare London chance
Annual trip coincides with Olympics
LONDON —Larry Williams has been bringing students to London each summer for the past 28 years. This year, however, is unique.
The Olympics are in town.
And this British studies group, which includes several Midwestern State students, is living just about a mile from the Olympic Park.
"It is very exciting to be in the city that opens its doors to the world," said Elena Bennett, a junior softball player at MSU. "Now that everyone is arriving, it's pretty amazing to get to see Olympic athletes walking the streets or riding the tube (subway). To walk among the people who are chosen to represent their country is an honor."
"The Olympics symbolizes a coming together of nations, and London is already a cultural hot spot where someone can experience nearly every culture," added Julian Garcia, of Burkburnett. "Although I'm not going to any events, I'm excited to see the mixture of nations from all over the world to a city where people of nearly every culture already exist."
Williams, professor of sociology and director of study abroad at MSU, came up with the idea in 1976.
But being in a city at the same time of the Olympics was not in his plans. He just wanted to help students experience a world they had never seen.
"We want our kids to have that academic experience, but we want them to also have that social experience," Williams explained. "Reality is they are going to graduate and slip into middle class respectability, and they won't ever be back in Europe. But they will always have this summer. I think it changes them."
Gary Goldberg, a photography teacher who has made this trip several times, said he has had contact with students from years ago "who tell me that London was the best experience of their life. It changes their application and their outlook of the world. They come back different people."
"My dad had to go to war to get out of town," said Williams, who grew up in Olney.
"The day after I graduated from East Texas State, I went to New York City," he added. "From Commerce, Texas, to New York City was quite a quantum leap."
But not as big as Taft Street to Downing Street.
The study features small group seminars in various disciplines, such as photography, sociology and international business.
The program is set up so that there is an American professor of record who teaches a third of the time; a guest lecturer who teaches a third of the time and site visits for the other third.
"The students get to do some really cool stuff," Goldberg said. "Today my class met with Martin Parr, probably the best known living photographer in the U.K.."
The trip is paid for with financial aid and scholarships out of Williams' office.
"I have brought a thousand kids to Europe over the years, and my office has awarded more than $700,000 in scholarships," Williams boasted. "I would love to take all the credit but the reality is you have a lot of people at MSU working to put this together."
"This program is an experience every student should have. Not only is it a fantastic opportunity to explore life in a different culture, it shows students how they can apply their schooling in real world situations," said Krtistyna Butler, of Burkburnett.

American League Game Summary - Chicago at Texas
(Friday, April 18th)
Final Score: Texas 12, Chicago 0
Arlington, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - The Texas Rangers scored 12 runs on 18 hits to back Martin Perez's first career shutout.
Perez (3-0) allowed just three hits in the Rangers' 12-0 rout of the Chicago White Sox on Friday.
The left-hander struck out eight and walked one for Texas, which has won four in a row.
"He's just consistent, he's keeping the ball down," Rangers manager Ron Washington said.
Leonys Martin went 3-for-5 with four RBI and finished a double short of the cycle for the Rangers, who went 6-for-13 with runners in scoring position. Robinson Chirinos added a two-run homer.
Felipe Paulino (0-2) gave up 10 runs on 13 hits with three walks over 3 2/3 innings for the White Sox, who have dropped three straight.
"Pretty bad game for me tonight," Paulino said. "I've been bad the last couple of starts."
The Rangers' offense got going in the first inning. Elvis Andrus started things with a one-out walk and went to third on a single by Alex Rios. Prince Fielder was intentionally walked to load the bases for Kevin Kouzmanoff, whose infield single plated a run. Jim Adduci's RBI groundout made it 2-0.
Texas tacked on seven more runs in the third to blow the game open. With runners on second and third and two outs, Martin cleared the bases with a triple to right. Chirinos followed with a two-run homer.
The Rangers kept it going. After Shin-Soo Choo doubled and Andrus walked, Texas plated three more runs on Rios' single and Fielder's double.
Martin added a solo homer in the fourth and hit an RBI single in the sixth.
Kouzmanoff's run-scoring single in the seventh made it 12-0. Kouzmanoff has now hit safely in his first nine games in a Texas uniform.
Game Notes
The White Sox went 4-2 against the Rangers in 2013 ... It was the second complete game of Perez's career ... Chicago's Alexei Ramirez extended his franchise-record hitting streak to 17 to start the season ... The White Sox started a seven-game road trip on Friday ... Texas placed pitcher Tanner Scheppers on the 15-day disabled list, purchased the contract of pitcher Aaron Poreda from Triple-A Round Rock and designated infielder Andy Parrino for assignment ... Chirinos and Adduci set career highs with three hits apiece.

Bordelon was invited by council to appear at the meeting, but he didn't show..
The council agreed to ask for Bordelon's resignation in executive session, though only the housing authority can take that action.

Did you watch Prometheus and ask yourself, 'Hey, why bother putting Guy Pearce in crummy old age make-up instead of just casting an old guy? Well, Guy Pearce wants to help you understand. While doing promotion for his new movie Lawless, the Aussie actor told reporters that there was supposed to be a scene in which David enters the slumbering Peter Weyland's dream and meets his maker in the pose of a young man. '[W]e didn't end up shooting it. We got close to shooting it, and as we got closer, Ridley just started to see it as something that would just be a little distracting, almost.'
So there you have it. Possibly the worst explanation, but an explanation nonetheless. If you wanted to know what Pearce probably would've looked like as young Weyland, check out the viral video of his character's Ted talk, circa 2023, above.

University of Houston
The School of Art at UH offers interdisciplinary programming for its students, allowing them to take classes in diverse areas such as computer science, anthropology or poetry. UH seeks to tailor its programming to the individual student's interests.
Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA)
BFA candidates begin by taking the university core curriculum, as well as art and studio courses. In sophomore year, they can apply to the BFA program by presenting a portfolio. Once admitted, students major in painting, photography/digital media, graphic communications or sculpture. Depending on the major and GPA, students may be allotted private studio space, mentors and internships. The BFA program requires completion of 42 hours of university core courses and 81 hours of major, studio and concentration courses, such as art history, drawing, sculpture, computer imaging and printmaking.
Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art (MFA)
Applicants to the MFA program need to have a bachelor's degree and at least a 3.0 GPA, in addition to submitting a portfolio of artwork. The program is comprised of 60 hours of coursework, which has to be completed within five years of starting. MFA candidates major in one of five areas: painting, sculpture, photography/digital media, graphic communications or interdisciplinary practice and emerging forms. Regardless of major, all candidates take 12 hours of art history, 12 hours of related arts, 30 hours of major courses and six hours of graduate seminar classes. Completion of the degree requires a thesis exhibition, written thesis and passage of an oral exam.
Texas Southern University
The arts programming at TSU is housed within the College of Liberal Arts and Behavioral Sciences and offered through the Department of Visual and Performing Arts. Bachelor's programming is flexible and can be designed with or without minors and/or specializations and taken over four to six years.
Bachelor of Arts in Art (BA)
The BA program is comprised of three groupings of courses: core curriculum (44 credits), major (55-58 credits) and minor or specialty (18-21 credits). Specialty options include art history, design, drawing, painting, printmaking and ceramics and sculpture. Minors are chosen after a student has been admitted as an art major and in consultation with a counselor. Major and elective class options include drawing, ancient art, ceramics and pottery and digital imaging. Completion of a total of 120-126 credits and passage of an exit exam are required to graduate.
Minor in Art
The minor in art requires 21 credit hours of coursework, such as art history, drawing, design and painting or an art seminar, and nine hours of upper-level art electives. All courses must be completed with a C or better.
Houston Baptist University
HBU offers five majors in studio arts: drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics and sculpture. In both its undergraduate and graduate programs, HBU retains permanent or temporary rights to some of the artwork produced by its students.
Bachelor of Fine Arts
The BFA program is comprised of a 55-hour liberal arts core curriculum and a 72-hour academic and studio art core curriculum. The academic art core includes nine classes in areas such as art history, 2D and 3D design and art methods and materials. The studio art component requires courses in areas such as drawing, ceramics and/or printmaking. Students are required to participate in art shows in their junior and senior years and to pass an exit exam in art prior to graduation.
Bachelor of Arts, Studio Track Major
In the BA with a studio art major program, students complete 67 credit hours of liberal arts core curriculum, six hours of academic art and nine hours of studio art classes. The studio art elective options include color theory, experimental drawing and water-media painting, while academic art courses feature design, methods and art history courses from the prehistoric to modern art periods.
Minor in Studio Art
The minor program requires completion of 25-26 hours of art coursework. The academic art component involves one method, two art history and two design courses. The studio component involves 10-11 credit hours of studio electives in areas such as ceramics, drawing and printmaking.
Master of Fine Arts
Applicants to the MFA program at HBU are required to submit undergraduate transcripts and a digital portfolio with 20-30 high-resolution samples of work. MFA candidates much of the 60-hour program in studio art courses, developing graduate-level proficiency. Graduate seminars covering writing, gallery/museum practices and thesis portfolio preparation are also important. The remaining hours are spent either in graduate-level art history or other courses focused on the liberal arts. MFA candidates must pass three major faculty critiques, prepare a thesis for exhibition and lecture, and donate a significant piece of their work to the permanent collection at HBU.

I know how to create an array of structs but with a predefined size. However is there a way to create a dynamic array of structs such that the array could get bigger?
For example:
typedef struct
char *str;
} words;
words x[100]; // I do not want to use this, I want to dynamic increase the size of the array as data comes in.
Is this possible?
I've researched this:
words* array = (words*)malloc(sizeof(words) * 100);
I don't think I explained myself clearly, my apologies.
I want to get rid of the 100 and store the data as it comes in. Thus if 76 fields of data comes in, I want to store 76 and not 100. I'm assuming that I don't know how much data is coming into my program. In the struct I defined above I could create the first "index" as:
words* array = (words*)malloc(sizeof(words));
However I want to dynamically add elements to the array after. I hope I described the problem area clearly enough. The major challenge is to dynamically add a second field, at least that is the challenge for the moment.
I've made a little progress however:
typedef struct {
char *str;
} words;
// Allocate first string.
words x = (words) malloc(sizeof(words));
x[0].str = "john";
// Allocate second string.
x=(words*) realloc(x, sizeof(words));
x[1].FirstName = "bob";
// printf second string.
printf("%s", x[1].str); --> This is working, it's printing out bob.
free(x); // Free up memory.
printf("%s", x[1].str); --> Not working since its still printing out BOB even though I freed up memory. What is wrong?
I did some error checking and this is what I found. If after I free up memory for x I add the following:
then if I try to print x I get an error which is what I want. So is it that the free function is not working, at least on my compiler? I'm using DevC??
Thanks, I understand now due to:
FirstName is a pointer to an array of char which is not being allocated by the malloc, only the pointer is being allocated and after you call free, it doesn't erase the memory, it just marks it as available on the heap to be over written later. – MattSmith
P.S. Sorry for the long page, I guess I'm now getting used to this forum.
I'm in a problem. I have no idea what to do next. Please help someone. I'm trying to modularize and put the creation of my array of structs in a function but it is not working and I've tried everything, just nothing seems to work. I'm trying something very simple and I don't know what else to do. It's along the same lines as before, just another function, loaddata that is loading the data and outside the method I need to do some printing. How can I make it work?. My code is as follows:
# include <stdio.h>
# include <stdlib.h>
# include <string.h>
# include <ctype.h>
typedef struct
char *str1;
char *str2;
} words;
void LoadData(words *, int *);
words *x;
int num;
LoadData(&x, &num);
printf("%s %s", x[0].str1, x[0].str2);
printf("%s %s", x[1].str1, x[1].str2);
void LoadData(words *x, int * num)
x = (words*) malloc(sizeof(words));
x[0].str1 = "johnnie\0";
x[0].str2 = "krapson\0";
x = (words*) realloc(x, sizeof(words)*2);
x[1].str1 = "bob\0";
x[1].str2 = "marley\0";
This simple test code is crashing and I have no idea why. Where is the bug?

Villarreal striker Giuseppe Rossi has told Manchester City it will take more than money to win the Champions League.
Rossi, a former Manchester United junior, knows Villarreal face a tough task tonight against City.
He said: "City played well against Napoli and only had problems in the last phase, although in Munich, Bayern were always on top.
"Now it's City against Villarreal and we cannot afford to miss out in Manchester if we want to maintain our chances in the competition.
"We need to get back to our normal style and habits, and avoid any pressure or nerves. That will be the key for us on Tuesday and we can do it.
"Money does not guarantee success. Manchester City have the chance to become European champions in time, but you can't fix a concrete date and say it will happen by then. Chelsea are an example of that."

Born: April 12, 1951
Born in 1951 and raised in Los Angeles, Marty's early interest in music was prompted at age 5 by chasing his baby brother in circles under a grand piano as their father played Chopin, Beethoven and Scriabin. His father also installed a remote loudspeaker in his bedroom so he could sleep with the classics, as well as music by Stravinsky, Shoenberg, Webern and other modernists. His first instrument was the clarinet, followed by saxophone in high school, and later flute and oboe. First jobs were in community opera orchestras and symphonies while still in grade school, but by this time Krystall also developed an interest in popular music and learned to transpose piano music on the Bb clarinet during lunch hour with piano players sight-reading pop, rock and jazz in the school auditorium. When he entered Venice High he joined their stage band on tenor and studied privately with Hollywood studio musicians Bill Green, Gary Gray and John Neufeld....

Jags revamp struggling secondary in roster moves
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP)
The Jacksonville Jaguars are making a last-ditch effort to revamp their struggling secondary.
The Jaguars cut safety Gerald Alexander on Saturday and traded safety Reggie Nelson to the Cincinnati Bengals. Jacksonville received cornerback David Jones and a conditional draft pick in return for the former first-round draft pick.
The team also cut nickel back Scott Starks, meaning Jones could get playing time in next Sunday's season opener against Denver.
Alexander and Starks were among 21 players cut. The list included 12 veterans, most notably receiver Troy Williamson and tight end Ernest Wilford. The team also placed linebacker Kyle Bosworth on injured reserve.
Other veterans cut: linebacker Alvin Bowen, defensive tackle Atiyyah Ellison, guard Kynan Forney, linebacker Tony Gilbert, linebacker Teddy Lehman, defensive lineman Jeremy Navarre, running back Kolby Smith and linebacker Rod Wilson.
Three first-year players - defensive tackle Walter Curry and receivers Clarence Denmark and John Matthews - were waived. Six rookies - offensive tackle Daniel Baldridge, tight end Mike Caussin, quarterback Trevor Harris, running back Chad Kackert, defensive tackle Ko Quaye and center Bradley Vierling - also failed to make the 53-man roster.
Three undrafted rookies - linebacker Jacob Cutrera, offensive tackle Kevin Haslam and defensive end Aaron Morgan - made the team. The Jaguars also kept fullbacks Greg Jones, Montell Owens and Brock Bolen.
Jacksonville will sign some of the waived players to the eight-man practice squad Sunday.
Alexander and Starks are not eligible for the practice squad. Alexander started 10 games last season and had been penciled in to start this season, but he struggled in the preseason and was benched in favor of Nelson.
Nelson wasn't much better, playing well in some games and missing tackles in others. Coach Jack Del Rio said last week that tackling needed to improve in the secondary.
Without Alexander and Nelson, Jacksonville is left with Anthony Smith, Sean Considine, Tyron Brackenridge and Courtney Greene at safety.

Item No. 5 Classification: Open Date: 26 January 2007 MEETING NAME Licensing Sub-Committee Report title: Registration under the Manufacture and Storage of Explosives Regulations 2005: NANCY'S 12 PECKHAM HIGH STREET, LONDON SE15, The Lane Director of Environment and Leisure Ward(s) or groups affected: From: RECOMMENDATION 1. That the Licensing Sub-Committee considers a request by the Licensing Unit for the revocation of the Registration under the Manufacture and Storage of Explosives Regulations 2005 granted to Nancy's Newsagents, situated at 12 Peckham High Street, London SE15 BACKGROUND INFORMATION. The Manufacturer and Storage of Explosives Regulations 2005 (MSER). 2. The Manufacturer and Storage of Explosives Regulations came into force in April 2005. The Regulation provides a new registration and licensing regime for the storage and sale of fire and explosive measures. The local authority, are responsible for ensuring that anyone who wishes to store and sell fireworks holds the appropriate registration or obtain a licence for storing larger quantities of explosives. Explosives are classified by their Hazard Type: – Hazard type 1 - having a mass explosion hazard Hazard type 2 - having a serious projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard Hazard type 3 - having a fire hazard and either a minor blast hazard or a minor projection hazard or both, but not a mass explosion hazard Hazard type 4 - having a fire or slight explosion hazard or both, with only local effect. (Fireworks generally come under Hazard Type 4) Fire and Explosion Measures. 3. Any person who manufactures or stores explosives shall take appropriate measures: a) to prevent fire or explosion b) to limit the extent of fire or explosion including measures to prevent the spreading of fires and the communication of explosions from one location to another; and c) to protect persons from the effects of fire or explosions. Registration in Relation to Storage. 4. The duty for registration falls on the person or company who is manufacturing and/or storing the explosives. The licensee is accountable for compliance with the terms of 1 the registration/licence it is therefore essential that the person who holds the registration/licence has effective control over the activities covered by the registration/licence. Therefore registration/licences are now granted to a person or a company and not to the site. 5. The maximum quantity of explosives that can be kept in a licensed store will depend on the separation distance available and may not exceed 2000kg. The maximum quantity of explosives that can be kept in registered premises may not exceed one of the following: Up to 30kg of explosive of any Hazard Type up to 100kg of Hazard Type 3 up to 100kg of Hazard Type 3 and 4 up to 250kg of Hazard Type 4 OR up to 250kg small arms ammunition and 30kg shooter's powder The weights given are calculated as the net explosive weight less packaging etc (normally taken to be 25% of the total weight). Registrations are now issued subject to conditions relating to storage methods. Until recently information on recommended storage methods was provided under a leaflet issued by Trading Standards Services. A copy of the leaflet is attached as Appendix A to the report. Separation Distance. 6. Separation Distance means the distance between the store or the building in which explosives are, or are to be, manufactured and a building, or other place in or at which people are or are likely to be present either all the time or from time to time A table of separation distances for Hazards Types 3 and 4 is attached as Appendix B to the report Storage of Fireworks. 7. The MSER Approved Code Of Practice And Guidance advises on the safe storage of fireworks for quantities of 75 kg of Hazard Type 4 pyrotechnical articles where the storage is adjacent or in the same building as domestic/sleeping accommodation. 8. The premises consists of a joint commercial and domestic premises with the ground floor as a shop, the basement as a commercial storage area and the first and second floors are domestic areas including sleeping accommodation. 9. The premises is adjacent to 14 Peckham high street that is currently closed with a premises licence under the Licensing Act 2003 pending for the ground floor, however it has operated previously as a bar with domestic accommodation on the first and second floors. A map of the local vicinity is attached as Appendix C. Registration and Licence. 10. The Local Authority is responsible for licensing storage of explosives up to two (2) tonnes. If the storage is more than two (2) tonnes, the applicant applies to the Health and Safety Executive for a licence. 2 11. There are restrictions on when sales can be made. The Fireworks Regulations 2004 allows a premises that holds a registration or licence to store explosives to sell fireworks only during the following times: 5 November (from 15 October to November 10) New Year's Eve (from December 26 to December 31) Chinese New Year (The first the day of Chinese New Year and three days immediately preceding it) Diwali (the day of Diwali and three days immediately preceding it) In order to sell fireworks outside of these times a separate licence under the Fireworks Regulations 2004 is necessary in addition to a registration/licence under the MSER. 12. The Fireworks (Safety) Regulations 1997, as amended, bans the supply of certain types of fireworks, this includes any banger. 13. In carrying out its licensing functions, a licensing authority must also have regard to a) b) c) d) e) f) g) The Manufacture Storage of Explosives Regulations 2005; The approved code of practice and guidance issued by the HSE; The Fireworks Act 2003 The Fireworks Regulations 2004 Fireworks (Safety) Regulations 1997 The application submitted Relevant representations The Current Registration. 14. The existing registration number 10273 was issued to Lan Phuong Hua of Nancy's Newsagents, 12 Peckham High Street on the 25 September 2005, it gives consent for the storage and supply of fireworks, a copy of the application form for the existing registration and a copy of the existing application is attached as Appendix D to the report. Part E of appendix D shows the quantities of explosives that the applicant stated she intended to keep. The applicant stated that she did not intend to store more than 62.5kg net in the premises of explosives that were previously registered as a 'Mode B' store and that she did not intend to store more than 75kg of ammunition or pyrotechnic articles in a building that contains or adjoins domestic premises. MATTERS FOR CONSIDERATION. The Application for Revocation (Section 17(1)(a)(b) of MSER 2005). 15. The application for revocation is sought by the Licensing Unit under Section 17(1)(a)(b) of MSER 2005 following a request from the Council's Trading Standards Service after visits made to the premises. Matters observed included the breakdown of management responsibilities; storing of fireworks prohibited from supply by current consumer safety regulations; the improper storage of fireworks and storing fireworks beyond the limits permitted by his registration. A copy of the representation from Trading Standards is attached as Appendix E to the report. Additional information on the past operating history of the premises. 16. The premises has held explosives registrations for a number of years. Mr Hua, a relative of Lan Phoung Hua, has previously sought these. Mr Hua has previous convictions (5 3 November 2002 and 28 July 2003) for unsafe storage of fireworks and storing quantities in excess of that permitted by his registration Under the Explosives Act 1975 (now repealed). RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS. 17. No fee is payable in respect of an application to revoke a registration 18. The fee for registration to store less than 250 kg of fireworks is £34 EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES IMPLICATIONS. 19. Each application is required by law to be considered upon its own individual merits with all relevant matters taken into account. CONCURRENT REPORT BY THE BOROUGH SOLICITOR. 20. The Sub-Committee are asked to determine an application for revocation under section 17(1)(a) and or (b) of The Manufacture and Storage of Explosives Regulations 2005. 21. The principles that the Sub-Committee must apply are set out below. PRINCIPLES FOR MAKING THE DETERMINATION. 22. Where the licensing authority has granted a licence or registered a person for the storage of explosives under The Manufacture and Storage of Explosives Regulations 2005, the authority may, pursuant to regulation 17(1) revoke that licence or registration: 23. (A) Where there has been a change in circumstances such that the site, or within it, any place in which explosives are stored which licence or, as the case may be, registration relates to is no longer suitable of explosives: 24. (B) Where it appears to the licensing authority on information obtained after the grant of the licence or registration that the licensee or registration that the licensee or registered person is not a fit person to store explosives, in the case of a registered person or a person licensed to store explosives. 25. Where the authority proposes to revoke a licence or registration it shall, before taking such action, notify the applicant, licensee or registered person, as the case may be, of its proposed course of action and afford him the opportunity of making representations to the licensing authority about it, within a period of 28 days from the date of notification. 26. Representations may be made in writing, or both in writing and orally. 27. Where the licensing authority decides to revoke a licence or registration it shall provide in writing to the applicant, licensee or registered person, as the case may be, the reasons for its decision. 28. Where the licensing authority decides to revoke a licence or registration, that revocation shall take effect from a date to be determined by the licensing authority that shall be a date after the 28-day notification period. Hearing Procedures. 4 29. Subject to the Licensing Hearing regulations, the Licensing Committee may determine its own procedures. Key elements of the regulations are that • • • The hearing shall take the form of a discussion led by the authority. Cross examination shall not be permitted unless the authority considered that it is required for it to consider the representations Members of the authority are free to ask any question of any party or other person appearing at the hearing The committee must allow the parties an equal maximum period of time in which to exercise their rights to o Address the authority o If given permission by the committee, question any other party. o In response to a point which the authority has given notice it will require clarification, give further information in support of their application. The committee shall disregard any information given by a party which is not relevant o to the particular application before the committee, and o the registration objectives. The hearing shall be in public, although the committee may exclude the public from all or part of a hearing where it considers that the public interest in doing so outweighs the public interest in the hearing, or that part of the hearing, taking place in private. In considering any representations or notice made by a party the authority may take into account documentary or other information produced by a party in support of their application, representations or notice (as applicable) either before the hearing or, with the consent of all the other parties, at the hearing. • • • Council's multiple roles and the role of the Licensing Sub-Committee. 30. Sub-Committee members will note that, in relation to this application, the Council has multiple roles.
