RELEASE: Third Year for Nyack College on "Great College to Work For" List
July 22, 2013
Nyack College Named a 2013 Great College to Work For
by The Chronicle of Higher Education
Employees give high marks to the 131-year-old higher education pacesetter
Nyack, NY—Nyack College has been named a "2013 Great College to Work For" by The Chronicle of Higher Education, for the third consecutive year. This year Honor Roll distinction is added to the recognition because of high marks in most of the twelve categories rated. In the Chronicle's sixth annual report, The Academic Workplace, Nyack College is a higher education leader in the areas of compensation & benefits, job satisfaction, work/life balance, confidence in senior leadership, supervisor/department chair relationship, and respect and appreciation.
Senior leadership at Nyack has established and articulated a culture of valuing and celebrating employees. During the annual academic year-end awards and appreciation luncheon, President Michael G. Scales reassured faculty and staff of the important role they play in the life of the institution and in the lives of the more than 3,400 students enrolled in the undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degree programs. "At Nyack College, everybody is somebody," he said, "and our commitment to an egalitarian environment makes Nyack College a great place to work."
School of Business and Leadership Professor James Muckell, Sr., the 2013 faculty winner of Nyack's Commitment to Mission award presented at the luncheon, commented "I have enjoyed the privilege of teaching at Nyack College since 1987. It is indeed a great place to work. I have academic freedom, the liberty to express my Christian beliefs, the satisfaction of positively influencing young lives desiring to raise families and impact the workplace, and the honor of working with congenial men and women of esteem from various professional and ethnic backgrounds."
According to Director of Human Resources Karen Davie, Nyack's generous benefits package includes "100% college-paid medical insurance for employees and their families, tuition benefits for employees and their families, summer research grants for faculty, and special events that bring faculty and staff from the two New York campuses together."
This spring the Manhattan campus, where nearly 1,400 students are enrolled, relocated to historic Battery Park to occupy nearly 170,000 square feet in a modern structure, double the space of its previous facility. Nyack College New York City is surrounded by landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, the 9/11 Memorial and Reflecting Pool, the New York Stock Exchange, and Ellis Island. "Being in the financial hub of this Gateway City will help us reach our goal of becoming a world class institution of higher education," said President Scales.
Nyack College was founded in 1882 by Dr. Albert Benjamin Simpson and currently serves more than 3,400 students in its undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degree programs. In addition to its suburban campus in Nyack, NY and a city campus in Manhattan's historic Battery Park, an extension site is located in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Nyack is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and is chartered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York.

Kidney morphological changes in relation to long-term renal function and metabolic control in adolescents with IDDM

For the past 10–15 years all the children at our unit with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus have been repeatedly followed-up with renal function tests. Renal biopsy, examined by light and electron microscopy, was included in the follow-up of 36 adolescents and young adults, aged 13–25 years, with a disease duration of 7–19 years. All subjects had undergone at least three renal function tests before biopsy and none had persistent microalbuminuria. Renal function was evaluated as glomerular filtration rate and effective renal plasma flow determined by clearances of inulin and para-amino hippuric acid. Glomerular filtration rate and filtration fraction were increased before and at the time of the biopsy. Glomerular basement membrane thickness (331–858 nm) and mesangial matrix volume fraction (7.4–17.1 %) were increased. Long-term hyperfiltration and hyperperfusion before biopsy correlated inversely with mean glomerular volume. Increased filtration fraction before the biopsy correlated directly with mean of all HbA1c (r = 0.485, p < 0.01) and both variables correlated directly with mesangial matrix volume fraction, basement membrane thickness and structural index (r = 0.433, p < 0.01 and r = 0.626, p < 0.001, respectively). Urinary albumin excretion rate correlated directly with foot process width (r = 0.645, p < 0.001). By multiple regression analysis the most important variable for the increase in basal membrane thickness was the metabolic control while the mean of previous filtration fraction was most important for the increase in mesangial matrix volume. In conclusion, although none of the patients showed constant microalbuminuria, early diabetic structural changes were evident with basal membrane thickening and increased mesangial matrix volume. The structural changes related to long-standing hyperfiltration and poor metabolic control. [Diabetologia (1998) 41: 1047–1056]

Thursday started off with many hugs and goodbyes to the host family and all the new friends in Tome. I was sad to part from them, but I was also a bit excited to be going home soon. It's always a strange feeling on trips, isn't it? You want to stay forever, but you also can't wait to get home.
Overall, Thursday was a fairly relaxed day. After a fair amount of travel from Tome to Tokyo, we met up with Mr. Sasaki's daughter ...

Earthquakes Get Old, Fast
Had a bit of a rude awakening this Monday morning. My first earthquake? Kind of fun. Waking up at four o'clock in the morning to another huge earthquake? Not so much.
The day (officially) started out quite formally, with another ceremony by the Japanese. I hadn't realized they were so fond of formal occasions, and the morning meeting with the mayor, the superintendant, the council member and the vice was certainly that. It was an interesting experience, and something I'll ...

Suggest that anyone replying check their use of kinesiology terms - search first on the internet and include a few links.
There is a common tendency to look at the body part, for example, the knee, that moves or rotates and to call that motion 'knee rotation'. In kinesiology terminology the joint is identified and the motion associated with that joint. If you sit on a table with the leg hanging over the edge and rotate the foot that is 'knee rotation'.
I have noticed that a small percent of the numerous Google illustrations are wrong or misleading. Best to get an anatomical definition.

Brothers' family walks marathon - 0 Comments
Around mile 23 of the 26.2-mile course of the Boston Marathon, Peter Brown could confirm 33 blisters on his feet, but the uncle of J.P and Paul Norden — two brothers who lost legs in the bombings — put pain aside to finish walking the marathon for the nephews he loves.
On the one-month anniversary of the terror attack, this family showed their solidarity for all to see. They all embraced at the finish line, many wearing "Stoneham Strong" shirts.

Gesell Development Schedules, Preschool Test, and School Readiness Test
Evaluates the physical, emotional, and behavioral development of infants and young children.
The Development Schedules are a set of four timetables devised by Arnold Gesell (1880-1961) at Yale University to evaluate the physical, emotional, and behavioral development of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. They describe typical behavior at specified ages in the following areas: ability to adapt; motor functioning; use of language; and social interaction. The Development Schedules are useful to pediatricians, child psychologists, and other professionals who work with children. They also serve as the basis for evaluating a child's performance on the Gesell tests. The Preschool Test, which is administered individually to children between the ages of 2½ and 6, consists of a variety of tasks and activities. Oral sections measure language skills, attention span, and accuracy of personal knowledge. Besides talking...

The Suns host the Mavs Thursday night in what used to be headlined as the Nash & Nowitzki Reunion Show.
Tonight's game looks more like the Shawn Marion Bowl...hardly the same effect.
Tonight, these two former powers in the Western Conference are playing in a super star's league without one of their own (Dirk Nowitzki is still out following knee surgery). I can only imagine how difficult it is for Alvin Gentry and Rick Carlisle find consistency without a marquee name in the lineup.
In Phoenix's heartbreak loss at Memphis Tuesday night, there was one play in the 2nd quarter that spoke volumes. Markieff Morris was smothered on a turnaround shot in the post. As he looked to the referee in shock, P.J. Tucker got the rebound and put up a shot of his own. Tucker, too thought he got mauled inside. While the Griz quickly headed downcourt following two misses, Markieff and P.J. were both still beside themselves in the backcourt looking at the refs. That pretty much sums up the task of trying to win in the NBA without a super star player.
Nash and Nowitzki used to do more than lead their teams to victory, their mere presence allowed role players to get All-Star respect. Even their supporting casts fed off of that referee respect.
This season, the Suns and Mavs are both in the bottom half in free throws attempted. They also give up more than they shoot, averaging in the bottom third. Phoenix has shot 390 free throws while their opponents have gotten 442. Dallas, meanwhile, have totaled 378 while giving up 475 (only one team gives up more).
Winning consistently in the NBA is hard enough without this 'charity discrepancy'. So, as the Suns host the Mavs in a nationally televised game, anticipate a very competitive contest.
But don't expect to hear "and one" very often.
The Phoenix Suns are coming off a disastrous road trip in each they dropped five of six games and now sit in 13th place in the Western Conference after only 19 games, primed for the number seven pick in the draft if the season ended today.
But the season does not end today. There are 63 games - more than 75% of the season - left to play. The Suns had the same record a year ago, even getting as bad as seven games under before rallying to a 33-30 record (a 26-18 run) and the edge of the playoffs before dropping their final three.
The year before, they started 15-21 before rallying to a high water mark of 33-30 (a 18-9 run) before fading to 40-42.
The year before that, they started hot-hot-hot at 14-3 before drooping to 26-21 (a 12-18 run) and then killing it over the last two months by finishing on an amazing 28-7 run and a third appearance in the Conference Finals.
The moral of this story is that just because the Suns have started 7-12 doesn't mean that Alvin Gentry won't be able to find the right mix and guide these guys to a very competitive season. Is that a playoff appearance? Probably not, but who knows.
Sure, Dave, but there's a big difference between this team and prior teams. You Know Who was running the point, and now he's gone!
I argue against that because historically Alvin Gentry has gotten more out of his team in the second half of each season, just when Nash would start winding down. I recall a Nash who struggled to shoot as the season wore on, and struggled to stay loose as each individual game wore on as well.
I would cringe if Nash had to be brought back in a tight game at any point in the fourth. You bring him back early - at the 9-minute mark or so - and he'd start well but become a non-factor beyond passing before the two-minute mark. You bring him back at the 6-minute mark or 4-minute mark and he'd come in cold, unable to loosen up enough to make a difference. I did not envy Alvin Gentry's job.
So to me, there's no reason to equate Steve Nash with late-season success any more than Alvin Gentry. And until I see otherwise, I will expect the team to improve (incrementally) each month of the season.
Even to pull a bit of Bright Side out of the 1-5 road trip, the Suns were within one score of winning or tying the game in the final seconds of three of those losses (two of which were against winning teams).
These guys are competitive, with only one really bad loss on the entire season so far. They have won 7 and come within a possession of winning 5 more. And this with no big-time scorer or go-to guy, and half the rotation not playing up to par yet.
Keep the faith, Suns fans. Don't give up hope.
Starting with Satisfaction Guaranteed Night on Thursday December 6 against the Dallas Mavericks, these Suns might just surprise you.
You (or at least I) always hate to blame the outcome of a game on a single play. After 47.5 minutes and like 90 different possessions which all count for the same amount on the scoreboard, it's a mistake to focus on a single attempt.
Let's focus on the Suns final attempt to win Tuesday's game in Memphis...and ignore the inability to defend Zach Randolph, the coaching decision not to double-team Z-bo, the inability to rebound (-18), and the lack of talent.
Before we get into the play itself, remind yourself that the Suns don't have a LeBron James (who failed in crunch time to beat the Wizards last night) or a Kobe Bryant (who's team got beat in the fourth quarter by Craig Smith and Toney Douglas).
In other words, winning on the final possession is always a crap shoot (horse dead and beaten) and for the Suns with this roster, the odds are never going to favorable.
Here's the play. When you watch it a few dozen times, it's pretty clear that getting O'Neal the ball for a fadeaway over Gasol wasn't the plan...at least we can hope it wasn't.
You can see here the Suns appear to be setting up for a high screen and roll but with a double screen using the combined beef of Jermaine O'Neal and Luis Scola to try and create some space for Goran to work.
On the execution front, the bigs probably set up for the double screen too soon which made the play too easy to read.
Mike Conley, a good defender who's 4th in the league in steals, reads the play (it wasn't exactly rocket science to see what's coming here) and hedges over to deny Dragic the opportunity to use the screens.
At this point, the play is now broken and we are in improv mode.
Goran takes the path open to him and drives down the sideline which forces Darrell Arthur to help off Scola and deny Dragic a path to the rim.
O' Neal reads the play and being the unguarded dude, breaks towards the rim.
Marc Gasol is forced to switch on to O'Neal and retreat down the lane. Scola, you can see below, sets up to rescreen Conley but Mike is quicker than Goran and cuts off that angle brilliantly and forces Dragic back.
By this point, Scola has flared off and pulled his man (Arthur) with him b/c he's still a threat to shoot and can't be ignored. Goran has Conley isolated but instead of trying to beat him, delivers the ball to O'Neal in the post with about four seconds on the clock.
At this point, J.O. is matched up with a big, strong and very good defender and has no real option other than the prayer he threw up.
One thing that jumps out when you watch all that was just described is how badly Dragic got stuffed by Conley. We have to give Mike credit, but you also would hope Goran would have found a way to be more aggressive and made something else happen.
You can just imagine the voice in his head saying "DONT TURN THE BALL OVER" and knowing Conley's reputation as a thief being afraid to try anything too fancy.
In other words, Goran Dragic is no Chris Paul, Derrick Rose or Russell Westbrook.
Maybe after more experience in these kinds of situations he'll learn what he can and can't do or simply have the confidence to try and do what he is able to but in this case, didn't attempt. Or maybe, this is just his ceiling.
Before dumping all the blame on Goran, let's also take our eyes off the action near the ball and look at the weak side where Dudley and Beasley were about as helpful as you and I on the play.
When you go back and watch the action on the far side, what stands out is Dudley doing nothing. Beasley, when he sees Goran get denied the chance to use the screens and start moving baseline, at least takes a few steps and looks like might have wanted to screen Dudley's man.
Dudley, however, doesn't move an inch and Beasley gives up on the screen (if he ever really intended to set one).
In an alternate universe, Beasley sets a hard screen on Dudley's man and Jared flares to the open spot at the top of the key where he potentially could have received the pass from Goran and got off a better shot.
Or maybe, Beasley's man switches on to Dudley and denies that but then Beasley is able to cut baseline and get open for a quick pass from O'Neal.
Or maybe none of that works, but regardless, have some weak side action that at least opens the door to a different outcome once Goran is stuffed twice by Conley and denied the opportunity to run off those screens.
Have a nice day.

EWG will give you better boost control.
TGV deletes are never necesary but can help add a little bit of power up top.
I have seen people run a gt30r on the utec and have no issues. you will get more power out of a MAP based system like the AEM or the Hydra but again if your ona budget i say stay with the utec. STi utec wont work.... with that said i would spend the extra money and go to a standalone ems if you dont have to deal with inspections.
you cant run a standard map with the green you NEED a custom tune.

The Naked 2 is definitivly a must-have, with alots of matte or glittery shades that let you create a natural, neutral to smokey eye makeup. The colors are amazing, my fav's : ''Chopper'' - ''Half-Baked'' - ''Tease'' - ''Snakebite''. But they ate soooooo fally!! It is thought a little expensive, but can be affordable for some.

This is a fantastic palette. I received it as a gift about a year and a half ago and it is still going strong. None of the shades have broken and even through constant almost daily wear there is still plenty of product left. The versatility of this palette is great, very easy to create simple, yet beautiful, day and work looks as well as effortlessly transitioning to night looks. I love the nude base color, foxy, as well as bootycall, which I use to brighten up my inner corners. It's ridiculous how many looks you can achieve by using this palette and the colors blend really well. The staying power is quite good, and I have oily lids. Definitely would recommend this palette to anyone. A must have for any makeup collection.

My favourite from the NAKED -series palettes. A nice everyday makeup palette, that has shadows that work well to work, school etc. with some darker colors you can use in evening makeups too.
The packaging is a lot better than in NAKED1, it stays much cleaner and nicer, and feels like better quality too.
Would maybe repurchase but i belive i dont need to in a looong time from now!

I love this naked palette. It was my first purchase of the naked trio. Loved all the shades. Shortly after, the black shadow chip fell out when I opened it! Hadn't used it for a bit and I was trying to pry it open, 5 shadow chips fell out all over the carpet and broke!!!! I took pictures and hope to have it replaced by Urban Decay (probably won't happen but I can hope). I was happy that at least my favorite, verve, stayed in place! My absolute favorite shade!

LOVE this palette, the colours are pigmented, great quality and last all day. You can choose between day and night looks and mix and match the colours to create natural, quirky or seductive eyes. Colours in Naked2 are more bronze colours and all these colours are perfect for green eyes. I feel that I move towards using Tease for the day which I apply in the crease and then blend out. Then just play around with the other colours! Great product!

Love, love, love this! Mix and match any combination of the colours. With primer colours last long time. Love all the colours although some get more use then the others. And a little goes a long way. Can use this palette for everyday looks or glam it up for extra beautiful eyes too.

I'm absolutely in love with this palette! I got it as a Christmas gift from my mom this year and I have been using it almost everyday. The shadows are pigmented, go on easy, blend wonderfully, and are just over-all spectacular. I have received so many compliments on my everyday makeup, I would recommend this palette to anyone.

I bought this palette when it first came. I just started using it. The first color the one for the brow bone sucks. The best color is blackout I use it for smoky eye. It is a great palette for wedding makeup. Always use it with other colors because except for blackout and the violet one these are not highly pigmented colors. I like chopper and suspect as wedding eye shadows.

I absolutely love the NAKED2 palette. the colors are very neutral tones with shimmery finishes. stunning. you can go natural or dramatic with the variety of shadows the palette contains. the colors stay on lovely with Urban Decay's shadow primer. it's a bit expensive but worth the splurge.

I bought this product recently after watching a series of reviews and tutorials beforehand. I'm not entirely disappointed with this product- however urban decay hasn't entirely won me over with this one. I find that many of the tones in the palette come off, "ashy," on dark skin and although the colour pay off is nice on most of the colours that there is a significant amount of fallout after application. I suggest using this palette prior to applying your foundation and what not. I'm not sure if I'd buy this palette again because although the colours are gorgeous in the pan... Urban decay doesn't keep in mind that WOC purchase this as well and targets mainly towards lighter skin tones. Overall, I'm not disappointed with this purchase but I did expect a lot more due to all of the hype!

High Penetration Photovoltaic Case Study Report.
Author: Bank, J.; Mather, B.; Keller, J.; Coddington, M.
Pages/Volumes: 27 pp.
Publication Year: 2013
Document Type: Research Report
NTIS/GPO Number: 1062441
Subject Code Description: Electricity, Resources, and Buildings Systems
Abstract: Technical concerns with integrating higher penetrations of photovoltaic (PV) systems include grid stability, voltage regulation, power quality (voltage rise, sags, flicker, and frequency fluctuations), and protection and coordination. The current utility grid was designed to accommodate power flows from the central generation source to the transmission system and eventually to the distribution feeders. At the distribution level, the system was designed to carry power from the substation toward the load. Renewable distributed generation, particularly solar PV, provides power at the distribution level challenging this classical paradigm. As these resources become more commonplace the nature of the distribution network and its operation is changing to handle power flow in both directions. This report is focused on large PV installations in which penetration is significantly greater than 15% of maximum daytime feeder load. These case studies are intended to demonstrate success stories with integration of large PV plants at the distribution level as well as some of the solutions used by the utility to ensure safe, reliable operation of both the PV system and the distribution network.

I second this. Sometimes when I fire up paperboy or zelda, I find it hard to believe it still works.
My school has very small desktops and I needed a laptop that I could balance on a small surface. I finally ended up with the small macbook air as the surface's keyboard does not support the computer. If I always had access to a big flat surface that would be one thing but you can't use that on your knee!
I've recently started school and shopped around for a small device that would allow me to take notes in class. It came down to the Mac Book Air and the Surface Pro 2. Ultimately, I realized that there was no way the Surface would balance on those half desks in the lecture halls of my school. I decided I needed a keyboard that would support the screen. The Surface just can't do that. The designers assume you will be sitting a full desk.
If the builder didn't use mortar to hold the bricks together, he's going to be done faster, spending less time, than had he used it. So imagine if the wall was built correctly. We'll say that this represents 100% of the needed programming time. If I throw some crappy wall together quickly, most likely because my boss is saying, "Don't worry, you can come back and put the mortar in later once we are keeping the bears out", I've saved myself, say, 30% of those coding hours. Now the wall is falling apart, bears are all over the place, and someone is saying it was a poorly built wall with bugs. In reality, it was a poorly built wall on the cheap.
Of course now you have the job of sticking mortar into a built wall which sucks and is gonna cost you a lot more.
Best solution, fire that guy, hire someone else who is going to come in, tell you the last guy sucked and he's going to do it right and will just build another wall around the existing wall.
I've used Linux for a very very long time. I've suffered through hardware compatibility issues, sudden changes in software stacks, everything we've all gone through. Then Ubuntu came out and things seemed to stabilize. I was a happy camper. Then they decided to replace the gui with something I didn't like and all. KDE is really ugly and I don't like it either. I hate that stupid wallet. Well, I got a new laptop and of course, step number 1 was to wipe the drive and put on some distro. But I didn't burn it yet and put it off. It's been a year now and I have to say, evilness aside, Windows 8.1 is fine. I just work. Netbeans, mysql workbench, putty they work fine, no problems. (I'm a LAMP developer).
I get the whole Windows sucks thing, I just think that if the Linux world is going back to the days of big uncertainty, I'll take a little stability.
Sit them in front of a nice clean virtual machine and tell them to get a basic PHP page up and running. They have to install apache/php/mysql. If you want to cut down on the time, download the stuff first. Should take about 20 minutes.
This trend of supplying every person with a programmable device packed full of sensors could very well be the beginnings of mainstream robotics. I mean sure, an iphone or samsung that sports bada may not look like Asimo, but it's certainly gaining the environmental sensing capabilities. Imagine one day driving up to a restaurant, docking your phone, and having it valet your car. Dock into your lawn mower and have it cut your grass... Plug it into a multi-purpose robotic platform and have it make you tea. With the sensing and computational power that's increasing in sophistication, we are watching robot brains grow in our pants pockets.
the sell-out?
They've been watching our tv and listening to our news for a while now...how about we greet them with, "Let me explain..."
Thanks for writing this.
no doubt
I wish I could do that, but I gotta get work done.
First time was kind of mandated by moneyless employer. With my own Windows Compaq laptop in hand, I flew to Atlanta and was greeted by a bunch of old Unix hippies. I was to write PHP/miniSQL code for them but had only one computer to do it on, mine. Problem was that I had windows and they wanted me to run RH. So, I totally wiped my machine and installed RH. Even at that time (years ago), I had no problem getting Red Hat installed (5.2?) on my presario.
Ever since then my tolerance of Windows has been in nothing but decline.

NDR 2013: Paya Lebar Airbase to be moved to Changi, area freed up for homes and industry
Published on Aug 18, 2013 9:48 PM
A new military airbase and a fourth runway will be built at Changi East, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said in his National Day Rally speech on Sunday.
Paya Lebar Airbase will be moved there later on. This will free up an area bigger than Bishan and Toa Payoh - around 800 ha - for new homes, offices, and factories.
Relocating the airbase also removes height restrictions around Paya Lebar and frees up the authorities to develop new and exciting plans for the eastern part of Singapore.
PM Lee also touched on other bold plans that are in progress.
These include building a new port in Tuas which is bigger and more efficient than current facilities, to maintain the country's premier position as one of the world's leading ports.
All container ports in Tanjong Pagar, Keppel, Brani and Pasir Panjang will be moved there when leases expire from 2027.
This will also free up prime land in Tanjong Pagar, where a new southern waterfront city will be built. Occupying a space of about 1,000 ha, or 2.5 times the size of Marina Bay, it will stretch from Shenton Way to Pasir Panjang.
There will also be a fifth terminal at Changi Airport, to double its current capacity.
PM Lee said the plans were examples of how Singapore needs to think and plan for the future.
"If we can carry off these plans, we will not have to worry about running out of space or possibilities in Singapore," he said.

Dear Editor,
It's inevitable. In offices around the world, there's always that special someone: the man or woman who ruins office parties for everyone else. Typically, it's a man; women ruin a lot in the workplace—fun, jokes, atmosphere, basically everything, but parties are generally the exception. Women also tend to ruin things outside the office like Monte Python, naps and anything pertaining to Kate Hudson, but I digress.
Last week, CT Scan, an internet startup specializing in products that let owners safely photocopy their cats, hosted a 'Till Next Time Party' for me, as I am leaving the company to start a band in Seattle.
I was mid-speech when I heard an altercation take place. I was explaining to everyone that it's not goodbye, it's 'See ya later' and next thing I know, Devaughn is shouting about the pizza. Turns out, my co-worker, Devaughn Bryant, had witnessed office party-pooper Craig Futrell splitting apart slices of communal pizza in an effort to reach large pieces that weren't touching. Devaughn confronted Craig and a shouting match ensued.
Festivities were quickly shut down, effectively ruining my party, and possibly slighting my entire length of employment with the struggling company. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time Craig has been responsible for an abrupt party demise. As recently as St. Patrick's Day, he was caught eating more than the permitted two donuts per employee in the break room, inciting bedlam among the staff when word got out that the snack guidelines and honor system had been compromised. Holiday donut parties were subsequently abolished. Now it appears as if the revered pizza party will follow suit.
Do I hate Craig for this? Yes. I'm leaving, though, which leaves all of you to fend for yourselves against his dastardly ways. My advice: keep Craig Futrell away from your office parties or soon, there will be no more office parties.

Take in the Sceanery
If you are not going to ski or snowboard it is worth you while still going up on the mountain purely for the sceanery alone, its amazing. Sit down and have a hot chocolate and people watch. There are a couple of cafes in the main building near the gondola and a bar / restaurant over on the right hand side beyond the magic carpet.
The Snake
This is a common site in Arinsal, instructor leading his charges (students) down the slope.
The snake can be a nuiscancewhen you are trying to ski on your own, but if you lose your nerve and feel out of your depth, you can wait for a snake and follow it a few hundred metres until your confidence returns.
Chair lift
The best invention on the slopes, you can only fall off at the start or finish.
1)Until you are at ease getting off, sit on the outside, especially on 4 seaters!
2)Hang on to your gloves and poles.
3)On the long 4 seater to the top, be sure your jacket is closed, or you can close it without dropping a glove or pole, it is a long trip, and cold in places!
Did I mention that there are lots of beginners?
This is a portion of the queue for the absolute beginners classes- It runs very efficiently, but the lower slopes are quite full (and when I was there the Green slope was closed at the start of the week). But a mere 4 hours on a dry slope took us away from all that, 100s of metres above it in fact, to empty slopes where you were at ease either in a class or on your own.
Moral of the story- Get a lesson or two before you go!!!!
Skis, poles, boots and Gondolas
Skis are useful on snow, but they are a pain to carry around. A much better plan is to get a locker at the top or bottom of the gondola. Some of the shops have lockers, and some of the travel companies have cages at the base of the piste, much handier than going to the pub carrying skis and poles and unable to go down a stairs!
The Mountain
The is virtually nothing to do in Arinsal during the day other than go up on the mountain. The mountain is bustling throughout the day as ski and snowboarding schools times are staggered which means there are always people coming and going.
- Skiing and Boarding
Climb Pic de Coma Pedrosa
From Arinsal it is a 4hr trek to the summit of Pic de Coma Pedrosa, Andorra's highest mountain at 2942m. It is great hike with stunning views and the terrain never gets too difficult. It is an excellent day out.
Follow the road upwards out of Arinsal and through the tunnel, here take the signposted track to the right, this is part of the long distance GR11. The track soon turns to the left, and climbs steadily following the side of the valley above the Rui de Coma Pedrosa. The track turns sharply right at at a cattle grid, don't follow the track, instead follow the sign posted foot path forwards, bridging streams and climbing all the while to the Collet de Coma Pedrosa.
At the Collet de Coma Pedrosa, there is an information board, and a path to the left that climbs to the Refugi de Coma Pedrosa where food, drink and lodgings are available. However the route to Pic de Coma Pedrosa continues forward along the valley bottom.
At the valley bottom, the path climbs steeply next a stream, into a natural amphitheatre called Les Canyorques. Excellent views eastwards. Here the path turns northwards and climbs to the small lake called Basses de l'Estany Negre. Pass the lake and look out for the sign post that that points the direction of both the GR11 northwards and a path to the right that climbs up the scree to a ridge.
Once the ridge is gained, follow it upwards to the summit of Coma Pedrosa.
Descend via the same way.

The staff are friendly the entertainment is very good live bands every night any one whos into that. Its right beside the hotel crest which is situated beside the 2 man chair lift also.
It also is a small restaurant which is very nice to eat in and cheap enough aswell (Y)
Check This Place Out !!!(Y)
What about the village
Poor ole Arinsal gets ignored! No one ever pays much attention to the village, and it is very picturesque, for the few hours (am) when the sun reaches down into the valley.
Rope Drag
This is the most basic form of lift- used on the nursery. Simple, but not fool proof- don't think you cannot fall off

I was led from here to here to here, and got intrigued by the 9-digit problem. Here is the description, copied verbatim from here :
Find a number consisting of 9 digits in which each of the digits from 1 to 9 appears only once. This number must also satisfy these divisibility requirements:
- The number should be divisible by 9.
- If the rightmost digit is removed, the remaining number should be divisible by 8.
- If the rightmost digit of the new number is removed, the remaining number should be divisible by 7.
- And so on, until there's only one digit (which will necessarily be divisible by 1).
There are solutions in many languages in those webpages, but I wanted to write my own in Haskell, just for kicks. Here it is :
(length xs) == 0
onemore [] = [[x] | x <- thelist]
onemore list = [list ++ [l] | l<-thelist,elem l list == False, check (list ++ [l]) == True]
testmore [] = []
testmore (x:xs) = (onemore x) ++ (testmore xs)
result = foldl (.) id (replicate 8 testmore) (onemore [])
Here is another version in Haskell, just for comparison.

Frontier Based Multiple Goal Search in Unknown Environments
- V. R. Jisha,

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
We present a frontier based algorithm for searching multiple goals in a fully unknown environment, with only information about the regions where the goals are most likely to be located. Our algorithm chooses an "active goal" from the "active goal list" generated by running a Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) routine with the given centroid locations of the goal regions. We use the concept of "goal switching" which helps not only in reaching more number of goals in given time, but also prevents unnecessary search around the goals that are not accessible (surrounded by walls). The simulation study shows that our algorithm outperforms Multi-Heuristic LRTA* (MHLRTA*) which is a significant representative of multiple goal search approaches in an unknown environment, especially in environments with wall like obstacles.

Program Goals
The Master of Music in Conducting degree is designed for the preparation of professional conductors, with options in choral, orchestral, and band/wind ensemble music.
The degree program provides students the opportunities to develop their conducting and rehearsal techniques, explore a large body of literature appropriate to the area of study, refine skills in music analysis and score preparation, and expand their knowledge in music theory and history.
Students are also encouraged to continue their studies in individual performance or composition.
Program Description
The curriculum includes individual instruction in conducting gesture, score preparation, and rehearsal technique. Significant conducting experiences with University ensembles are included, and students are assigned to at least one year of service as the assistant conductor of one or more ensembles.
The conducting degree requires a minimum of 36 credits of course work. At least half of these credits must be at the 500-level or above, and at least 30 credits must be taken at the University Park campus. A conducting recital, master's paper, and an oral examination are also required.
Knowledge of the history and theory of Western art music must be demonstrated by satisfactory completion of competency examinations. These examinations occur prior to the start of each semester. Unsatisfactory performance on the competency examinations may result in the necessity for enrollment in remedial course work without credit toward the degree.
Degree candidates receive extensive podium time and, therefore, enrollment is limited to ensure that all candidates can receive this important experience. Before beginning the application process, please contact the appropriate faculty member to ensure that applications for new students are being accepted.
The 36-credit requirement is as follows:
|Choral conducting
|Studies in choral literature
|Integrative conducting seminar
|Music theory, music history, or music literature in an area other than the chosen option
|Introduction to music reference and research materials
|Graduate degree performance
|Master's Paper
In addition, choral conducting students must demonstrate competency in vocal pedagogy and in English, German, French, Italian, and Latin diction. Competency may either be determined by completion of diction and vocal pedagogy courses taken during the undergraduate degree (with a grade of B or better), or by the successful completion of placement tests. Students failing to meet minimum competencies in one or more parts of these tests must either enroll in appropriate courses or complete special projects administered in the choral conducting and literature classes.
Admission Requirements
A candidate applying for admission to the master's program in choral conducting should have completed a recognized degree in music with at least a 2.8 junior-senior grade-point average. Transcripts should include the following:
- 12-16 credits in music theory and analysis
- 6-9 credits in music history
- Courses in conducting, counterpoint, form and analysis, and orchestration
Candidates who are deficient in any area above may be considered for admission, but should be prepared to make up the deficiency without credit toward the degree if accepted.
Student Aid
For an overview of current tuition and fees as well as the financial assistance programs available to graduate students at Penn State, see Graduate Financial Aid.
