Pinochet war crimes and Universal Jurisdiction
Seán Kinane
WMNF Drive-Time News Wednesday | Listen to this entire show:
On Monday and Tuesday of this week, experts from three continents gathered at USF to discuss the crimes of former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. The two-day panel, called Human Rights, State Terrorism, and Universal Jurisdiction was sponsored by the Institute for the Study of Latin America and the Caribbean.
On September 11 1973, the democratically elected government of Chile, led by Salvador Allende, was overthrown in a military coup by General Augusto Pinochet. Juan Guzman, a Chilean Judge was able to prosecute Pinochet by devising a novel interpretation stating that the statute of limitations does not apply to kidnappings in which no body was found, since they constitute crimes that are still in progress. Guzman outlines some of the atrocities during the dictator's 17-year reign.
"More than 30 thousand people were tortured; more than 5000 killed during Pinochet's era and more than one thousand two hundred continue disappeared. I won't speak about the forms of torture because really it's disgusting."
Attorney Juan Garces was a political advisor to Allende. He later led the prosecution in Spain, bringing charges against Pinochet that led to his arrest in London in 1998. WMNF asked Garces if he thought that justice would prevail in the case of Pinochet. Garces replied that even though Pinochet is not in jail, that because he has been indicted and is wanted for arrest in countries outside of Chile, he is a fugitive.
"The fact that he's a fugitive of justice means that justice is working."
Author John Dinges has written books on the crimes of the Pinochet regime, most recently The Condor Years - How Pinochet and his Allies Brought Terrorism to Three Continents. Dinges describes how international justice has changed since the 1998 arrest of Pinochet in London.
"Before, internationally, impunity was the expectation of heads of state, almost without exception. Now, after 1998, after Pinochet's arrest, there is no automatic expectation of impunity. There is the expectation of international justice for crimes against humanity, at least in the case of crimes of humanity."
Human rights advocates hope that the concept of universal jurisdiction, which means that crimes against humanity can be prosecuted anywhere in the world, will bring other war criminals to justice. But there is rarely the political will to punish powerful countries for violations of international law. Saul Landau is a filmmaker, journalist, and author who told WMNF that Israeli officials might not be prosecuted for their recent war crimes against Lebanon.
"I don't know if the Israelis are going to face war tribunals because of the massacre of civilians in Lebanon and the wanton destruction of Lebanese civilian property. They certainly deserve it. But I don't know if it will happen. So far the powerful have been protected. They have not subjected themselves to the very laws that they have authorized. Now, as long as this happens, the rule of law will not prevail and the rule of war will prevail."
Landau feels that, like Pinochet, President Bush should be tried for crimes against humanity.
"I think George Bush should be brought to trial for dragging the American people into war and killing thousands of people in Iraq. And I think all the other members of the Bush administration who made the war should be brought to trial."
But Landau admits that the Iraq war and the 9/11 coup in Chile aren't the only examples in American history of complicity in toppling governments.
"All over America today it says '9/11, Lest We Forget' with the American Flag. And I was thinking to myself 'Do they have these in Tehran about the 1953 coup, do they have it in Guatemala on the 1954 coup, do they have it in the Congo, do they have it in Brasil, for 1964, or Dominican Republic or Indonesia.?' These are just some of many examples. 'Lest they forget' You know, it's always struck me as amazing that the country that is militarily invulnerable also thinks of itself as the primary victim in the world."
Jan Knippers Black is a professor of Latin American Studies at American University. She also pointed out the violent history of the United States and quoted something former Vice President Hubert Humphrey said not long after the coup in Chile regarding possible repercussions for national security.
"The United States is now reaping what it has sown abroad. All the methods of subversion, the criminal acts that we've perpetrated in other countries to try to overthrow their governments and so forth have finally come home to haunt us."
One of the participants in the symposium experienced those criminal acts first hand. Professor Nibaldo Calleguillos worked in the government under Allende. He described to WMNF how he was one of the first people arrested during the 1973 coup.
"I was at the time a government official, my office was raided by the military. And since I was in charge, I was detained. Yeah, I was one of the first people to be detained as the coup unfolded. I could hear the sounds of the warplanes flowing and dropping the bombs on the presidential palace."

Employee engagement has become the new buzzword of late, with many organisations wanting to get on the bandwagon and understand how to increase their levels of employee engagement.
And why not? Not only do high levels of employee engagement reduce absence rates, it also increases retention levels and productivity. Creating an environment where employees have a passion and drive to achieve the business objectives can only be a good investment of your time and budget.
However, there are many drivers that constitute an engaged employee and implementing a whole variety of solutions to convert employees that are already disengaged, can be challenging at the best of times. What's more, there will always be a small amount of individuals, the 'awkward squad', that remain disengaged no matter what you change in any organisation.
Investing the time to increase employee engagement should start before the employee is even on-board. Employee engagement is much easier to achieve if the values of the business match the values of the employees in the first place and this is where psychometric assessments are key.
Even though candidates may have the right skills and experience, it does not mean they will perform effectively in the role. By developing a personality profile and using psychometric assessments to identify the essential characteristics, you can find out if candidates are the right match for your organisation.
However, before creating your personality profile, it is worth considering the following points:
- The first and most important is to establish what your business goals and values are.
- From here you can define what an engaged employee means for your organisation, what characteristics, behaviours and motivation they require in order to achieve the values and goals of the organisation.
- After you have a clear outline of where your organisation wants to be and what employees you need to get there, you can create a personality profile that will enable you to screen candidates on fit between the business values and their personal values.
An engaged employee not only has a positive impact on achieving your business objectives, they also have a positive impact on the rest of their employees. By implementing this process, potential employees are more likely to be the right 'fit' for your organisation and there is more chance of them being engaged…which can only be a good investment of your time!

Woman held 4 days; another suspect arrested
Out of jail, 'just glad it's over'
Corry Henry is wanted for violating his probation, he said. The couple was in a car that has been spotted on surveillance photos at businesses where a victim's credit cards were used, Ruffin said.
San Diego police are looking at Cassandra Henry as a possible suspect in at least eight cases that targeted victims ranging in age from 77 to 91 years old.
The thefts in the San Diego area started in March, with victims in San Carlos, La Mesa and El Cajon, said Stewart.
The burglar would use a ruse to get into victims' homes by telling them she needed to use the phone or wanted a drink of water, Stewart said.
"She took advantage of their good nature," Stewart said.
The victims' credit cards were used within hours at local stores, Stewart said.
The Henrys are being held without bail in Los Angeles County Jail while extradition is determined. Ruffin described Henry, who is three months' pregnant, as a brazen thief who at one point called law enforcement officers and told them to give up trying to catch her because she was "too good."
"That just gave us more incentive to catch her," he said.
At her apartment Tuesday, Nicholson was smiling and laughing as she talked about her weekend in jail, which she called "crazy," "uncomfortable" and "isolated." She sometimes sang gospel songs "because the acoustics were good." She missed little things, like deodorant and condiments for the bland food. She was shocked she had to wear recycled underwear.
"Men might not think that's a big deal, but for a woman it is," Nicholson said.
When she got out Monday night, she went straight home to hug her 25-year-old son, Ellis Twine II. She stayed up most of the night telling relatives and friends about her "adventure."
Nicholson, who is unemployed after being laid off from Cox Communications where she trained sales and customer service staff, said she is awaiting an apology before deciding whether to file a lawsuit.

Full detailed profile on Tabitha Lenox Played by Juliet Mills on Passions Daytime Soap Opera.
Juliet Mills
Birthday: November 21, 1941
Tabitha goes home to see her daughter. Endora watched everything that happened in the magic bowl and thanks her mother for saving Julian. "Now we can leave," Tabitha announces, asking her daughter to materialize so they can go. Endora explains that she's tried, but the spell isn't working. "This is exactly why I didn't want to lose my powers!" Tabitha says. Now, she has no powers to help her. Endora is sure that she can figure something out. Tabitha feels terrible; she can't even hug her daughter. Endora turns into a stuffed animal for her mother to hug. Tabs cries as she clings to her. Endora tells her that they can accomplish anything if they do it together.
As the storm rages, Tabitha paces around her house, terrified that all of the evil is on the way. "I've seen worse," Endora says. Tabitha is not amused. Endora still refuses to go. "Mortals die," Tabitha explains. They just need to get used to it; soon they will be with Precious and they can forget about everyone else. Esme runs in. "Help them Tabitha! You have to save them from certain death!" she begs. Tabitha knows what's going on and jokes that everyone's in the right place to die. Esme begs her to try helping for once. Tabitha insists she's helpless. "Can you really just walk away? Do you think you could live with yourself?" Esme asks. Tabs tells her to blame her own family. The witch doesn't see why she should stop any of those families from dying out; each of them has been trying to kill her for centuries. Tabitha talks about being an outsider, even when she was at witch school. Esme thinks that she is just punishing people for never being part of the in-crowd. If she thinks that people should be kinder, she should try being a trendsetter and save some lives. Tabitha still refuses, sure that no one would even thank her for saving them. Esme tells her to take a leap of faith. The only leap Tabs wants to take is out of Harmony. Endora listens in and asks if her daddy is trapped in the church. Esme reads the word bubble and asks who her daddy is. Endora tells her it's Julian, much to Esme's shock. "He certainly gets around! We should compare notes sometime," she says before telling Endora that her daddy is probably dying a horrible death. Endora begs her mother to save him. Tabitha refuses to ignore hundreds of years of Crane cruelty. "I'm half-Crane," Endora points out, much to her mother's annoyance. Tabs still refuses and Esme accuses her of being as petty as a mere mortal. She tries quoting Scooby Doo to win Tabs over but it fails. Esme realizes there must be something else stopping the witch from going into the church. Reluctantly, Tabitha explains that if she steps foot in the church, she will lose her powers and she won't do that for anyone. Endora asks if she will do it for her. "Bad things happen to bad people," Tabitha quips. Endora offers to protect her. Tabs has always been a witch: "I couldn't bare to be a mewling, puking, sniveling mortal! Please don't ask me not to be who I am." If she loses her powers, all her enemies will come after them. Endora says she has enough magic to protect them both. She begs her mother again. Tabitha wonders... but the pressure is too much and she agrees to do it. Tabs lets her daughter out of the cage, but makes her promise to stay in the house until she gets back. Endora thanks her and wishes that she will be just like her mother when she grows up.
Tabitha and Esme arrive outside of the church. A terrified Tabitha jumps back, refusing to go in. Esme reminds her that everyone is dying. "Everyone dies sooner or later. I've died many times myself," the witch says. Esme tells her to honor her child's wishes. Tabitha says she's just a child and doesn't know what she's asked. Endora pops up and asks her to do it again. She kisses her mother's cheek and Tabitha relents, agreeing to save them all. "From this moment on, everything will change," Tabitha announces. As soon as they get inside the church, however, Vincent informs them that they are too late: Everyone is dead. They look at the floor littered with corpses. "There's no one left to take you away from me," Viki laughs to her aunt. "Doesn't everyone look so peaceful?" Vincent jokes. They cackle.
A storm begins to rage outside. At home, Tabitha calls for her daughter, telling her they can't keep Nurse Precious waiting. Norma and Edna suddenly walk in wearing surfing gear and ask her if they are doomed to die along with everyone else. Tabitha explains that they are the only ones who aren't doomed. "I don't understand. We're not supernatural beings," Norma says. "Except in the sack," Edna jokes. Tabitha explains that if you've lived in Hell, like her or them or Kay and Miguel, a demon will only smell the sulfur and pass by you. The witch sniffs at Norma and cringes. Norma explains that she's had a shower and a shave; Edna even changed her diaper today. They're thrilled by this news and start going through their "bucket list" of things to do. Tabitha doesn't want to listen to this: She still needs to find her daughter. As she complains, Endora continues to be stubborn and demands that they help the people of the town. Edna suggests that Kay help the people of the town. Tabitha explains that Kay is already off in another dimension with Miguel and Maria trying to stop the coming catastrophe, but it won't work. Everyone is destined to be dead meat. Edna tells Endora that she better listen to her mother or she'll end up like her Bethy did. Tabitha tells the women that they will have to whisper their plotting. The women suggest pretending it's Thanksgiving. Tabs doesn't think there's time and tells them to get away from Harmony. Norma can't leave her and Endora behind. Edna just wants to see Precious but Norma reminds her of all the sacrifices that Endora has made for them. "You are right. This is one time duty calls and we don't hang up," Edna says as Norma gives her a kiss. Norma pulls her and Tabitha into a bear hug and vows to find the little girl.
Tabs gets an idea and conjures up some flash cards to explain it so Endora won't clue in. The cards say that they'll pretend evil has come back to get Norma and Edna and this will force Endora to come to their rescue. Tabitha conjures up a cage for the women and traps them. "If you think Edna stinks now, you should see how she reeks when she's sweating!" Norma calls out. Tabitha plays along, saying she doesn't have the power to help them alone. She begs Endora for help, asking her to get in the cage with them. Endora zaps herself in and the women grab her. Tabitha zaps the women out of the cage and Endora into a tiny cage. "You are one clever little witchling!" Tabs says, picking up the cage. Now that she's safe in there, they can get out of town. Tabitha looks around the room and gets nostalgic: "All the time I've spent here...now it's over..." She wonders if she's really getting soft in her old age. Four hundred years is a long time to call a house a home. She remembers all the spells she cast and the people she destroyed... and then little Timmy... She thought that Endora would grow up there, get married and have children of her own. Endora asks her again to help save the town. Norma suggests that, together, they could save the town. Tabitha repeats that everything is doomed to death and destruction.
At home, Tabitha continues calling her stubborn daughter to come out of hiding. Esme suddenly arrives, bubbly in hand. As she pours, she regales the witch with the problem at the wedding rehearsal. The witch is busy packing to escape disaster and doesn't have time to drink. "Life isn't worth living without libation," Esme chirps. Tabitha tells her to go back to the church and tell everyone to run for it. Esme doesn't want to ruin everyone's last meal. She asks the witch why she's packing so much junk. Tabitha likes her things and will take whatever she can. She repeats that the town will be swallowed by the sea. "Now that you mention it, I do recall you saying that," Esme says. She downs another drink and tells the witch that she has to take her and her niece along with her. "Please? We've both been through more men and boarding schools than Elton John and George Michael combined," Esme begs. "I think you have me confused with Fancy dear," Tabitha corrects her. Esme furrows her brow and continues asking for help. Tabitha insists she can't cover a mortal's tracks and the disaster will follow a mortal no matter where they go. Esme starts to spazz: "I don't want to die! And Viki is so innocent!" Tabitha rolls her eyes at this. "Doomsday go away, let me and Viki be okay," Esme chants until Tabitha stops her. The bowl starts to bubble. Surprisingly, it has news for Esme. "Seems Viki isn't an innocent at all. She's a lean, mean killing machine," Tabitha smirks. She explains that Viki murdered her parents. "You are one whacked witch!" Esme snaps. Tabitha continues, explaining that Viki is a serial killer. She has to stop Esme from medicating herself out of grim reality. She accuses the witch of killing all of her boyfriends and threatens to go to the police. Tabs stops her. She explains that nothing Viki has done has been logical; she's just a sick teenager. Esme refuses to believe it, but Tabitha can show her proof of all the crimes in her magic bowl. Esme is still in denial. Tabs tells her that her niece is not well. "Neither am I but you don't see me killing people," Esme sobs. Tabitha pushes her to the bowl to see what she's done. Esme sadly looks and watches as the series of murders are revealed one by one. "It's true. It's true! My sweet innocent niece is a serial killer!" she finally realizes. Endora prompts them to look in the bowl again. Glancing down, they watch as Viki and Vincent poison everyone at the church. Esme swoons. "I can't let Viki and Vincent kill everyone in Harmony. No one would ever come to a dinner party I host again!" Esme cries as she runs out. Endora tells her mother they need to help. Tabitha says no; they have to leave. She refuses to go until they help. Tabs insist it's too late.
At home, Tabitha continues calling for her daughter to come out of hiding. The magic bowl starts to boil. Tabs looks in and water sprays up: It's salt water. "Another warning! The prophecy is coming true! The sea is going to reclaim everything that was taken from it!" she gasps. After she calls for her daughter again, Endora pops up and asks why they can't just take everyone with them. Tabs shakes her head and sighs. She thinks her daughter's big heart will get her into trouble. The town isn't just real estate, it's people and the evil will hunt them down no matter where they go, the old witch explains. She looks at the hourglass and notices that the sands have stopped falling. She wonders what this could mean. But it was only Endora trying to stop it and her spell is quickly broken. The sand starts running through again. The bowl boils and turns red and green. Tabitha interprets it: There are two distinct evils in Harmony, both seeking retribution. Tabs begs her daughter to show herself so they can figure this out together.
At Tabitha's, the hourglass of doom continues to run down while Tabitha searches for her sweet pea. After she calls out for her daughter, the disguised Juanita walks in. Tabs tells "Mrs. Hernandez" to call her if she sees Endora or, "anything moving that shouldn't be moving". Juanita is a little confused. The witch is sure she'll understand when it happens. As soon as Tabs walks out, Juanita pulls out her explosives and breaks into a jagged laugh about blowing up all of the Lopez-Fitzgeralds. Juanita's henchman brings in a box of stuff to make more explosives. He found everything they need at the local home building store. They laugh about how easy it is and how nothing can stop them until Tabitha sticks her head in and asks them what they're talking about. Seeing the henchman, she asks if he has a name. Juanita is confused by the question. "All these years and she doesn't know my name... I need a new job," the henchman thinks, rolling his eyes. "I call him 'Hench'," Juanita says. She asks again what they are planning. Juanita says they were just planning a little remodeling. Maybe they can finish the basement and make it a playroom... Tabitha suggests they steer clear of that part of the house and picks up some of their explosives. She plays with them, imagining it is simple clay. Juanita cringes as Tabitha tears up the plastic explosives and explains she likes to put it under her fragile objects. The witch worries when Juanita talks about doing some digging in the backyard. "There's more buried there than in Harmony's graveyard," the witch thinks, but she soon changes her mind, assuming that Mrs. Hernandez will dead with everyone else soon. "Blow it up if you like," she jokes. The witch leaves them alone. Juanita slaps her henchman when he admits he didn't get her a timing device for the bomb yet. They will plant it in the church tomorrow, she announces.
After they leave, Tabitha comes back in and stares at the hourglass again. She calls out for her daughter, who quickly announces herself and tells her mother to get a grip. The little witch still refuses to leave and runs from her mother again. Tabs is sick of these games, but Endora wants to save everyone. Her mother reminds her that they've tried and nothing has worked. What's coming to Harmony is death like they've never seen before, she warns: "Not just a temporary death like I'm used to. We'll perish."
In Tabitha's attic, the witch and Esme close in on Endora while she plays with the makeup that Esme set out to catch her. Trying to swarm in doesn't work and she escapes. "Give yourself up. I've given myself up plenty of times. It can be fun if whip cream is involved," Esme calls to the little witch. Tabs doesn't want to hear the sordid details and wonders why she asked her to help. "I know some things, most of them involve lubricants, but I still remember what it's like to be a little girl," Esme reminds her. They hear a noise in the corner and begin begging the little witch to make herself visible again. They try grabbing her but have only grabbed thin air. They chase her around but she runs down the stairs.

Online bookstore rewrites plan
- Related Stories
Cybershopping: A model for the booksDecember 31, 1996
Bookstore wants to use sites literallyJuly 18, 1996
Today, the company slashed prices up to 40 percent on cover prices for its best-selling books and doubled its inventory to 2.5 million titles.
The reductions come one day before bookselling goliath Barnes & Noble is expected to launch its first foray into online merchandising through a site on America Online, a powerful marketing combination, company sources told CNET today.
Founded in 1994, Amazon.com pioneered online bookselling through its Web site, luring users with the offer of substantial discounts on cover prices and vast inventory of in-print and out-of-print titles. The privately held company refuses to disclose sales figures, but most analysts believe Amazon.com has tapped into what could grow into a lucrative market for virtual bookshops.
Craig Bibb, a book retail analyst at PaineWebber, estimates that online book sales currently account for less than one percent of the $16 billion consumer book market, but that figure could grow to as much to six percent in the next six years.
But now Amazon.com's brick-and-mortar counterparts--companies that run book shops in the physical world--are hoping to get a piece of that market. For one, Barnes & Noble hopes to compete closely with Amazon.com on price and selection. The company has said that it will offer a 30 percent discount on hardcovers and 20 percent discount on paperbacks from the more than 400,000 books it has in stock.
After it launches its AOL site this week, Barnes & Noble plans to open a Web site in the late spring, sources said. Borders books is also preparing to sell books online, according to analysts.
With Amazon.com's new price reductions, the company appears to have a price edge over Barnes & Noble. Previously, Amazon.com had offered a 30 percent discount on best-sellers.
"Because we don't have to support bricks and mortar and operate separately, we can afford to discount these books 40 percent," said Jennifer Cast, director of marketing at Amazon.com. "Physical bookstores have higher overhead costs."
However, analysts expect Barnes & Noble to compete aggressively on price, perhaps matching and even beating Amazon.com's discount. Still, Amazon.com could retain a technological lead over its competitors because it is purely focused on online selling.
"Amazon.com has a great site, a lead, and they have mind share," said PaineWebber's Bibb. "With Barnes & Noble, they're going to be there on price and on brand, but you don't know what the site's going to look like. It's going to be hard for a brick-and-mortar business to keep pace with the technology."

As we sat down today to do some performance profiling in Shark, we came to a sudden realization - it doesn't work anymore with iOS4. After some quick Google searching I came across a thread in Apple's developer forum (registration required) that indicated there were no plans to bring iOS4 support to Shark. What we have now is Instruments.
I'll say it right off the bat - Instruments is better than Shark. It's easier to use and easier to interpret the results. Shark always had a "dated" feel to it - probably because it's a fairly old application now. Instruments has a much more cohesive user interface, allowing for simple switching between profiling a device, a simulator, or a desktop application.
Unlike Shark, getting Instruments to profile a device is a piece of cake. Once you launch it, you'll be presented with a screen where you can choose the most typical profiling options.
Since we were interested in why a certain part of our application was taking so long, I chose "Time Profiler", which will tell you where the CPU is spending most of its time.
The next thing you'll have to do it select the application to target. You'll want to go ahead and launch the application now. Since we're working on Drop & Lock, I selected that.
All that's left to do now is hit the big record button at the top to start and stop the profiler. When you're done the results will be displayed much like any other profiler (including Shark).
As you can see, most of our processing time is spent rendering the scene and might be a good place to start optimizing. An option that I found very helpful was "Show Obj-C Only". This will remove items from the output that aren't written in Objective-C. Since most of our app is written in Objective-C, this helps us find places in our code that can be improved. The option is located to the left of the results beneath the Call Tree options.
I haven't had much time to see how powerful Instruments truly is, but at first glance, it looks to have a lot of capability. So if you app is running a bit slow, or using a bit too much memory, Instruments is a great tool for discovering why.

Between GTL, scoping the Shore Store, and most importantly, fist pumping like champs, we were able to find some great Garden State style.
The best dressed by far? Snooki, JWoWW, and Sammi, who passed by while we were shooting, rocking dresses and heels to cruise the boardwalk. MTV was also shooting, so the overly tanned trio had no time to stop and be honorary street-style participants.
While one woman described Shore style as "unique and couture," another said it was "mostly guido with booty shorts and revealing tops." Hmm... seems we've got ourselves a situation.
Browse the photos in the below gallery and judge for yourself.

Gear Review
So far, I like it...
Ok, so Ive only had this product for a week, so I cant vouch for its long term durability, but a year from now I will give an update on its performance. I work (and play) outdoors - a lot, so on cold days all I ask for is a steaming hot cup of java to keep me cozy. I didnt get that with the Stanley 1.1 liter vacuum bottle that this Primus brand replaced. So far, I like it. I primed the bottle as indicated in the instructions and all day long (no exaggeration) every time I poured myself a cap full of joe, it was piping hot. This is with repeated openings of the bottle, getting my cup full of caffeine every few hours or so. By 4:00pm (bottle was filled at 7:00am), when I was down to the last cup, it was still steaming hot. There is no doubt that this can keep beverages hot for 10 + hours. The only drawback is that there is no handle, but when your briefcase is a backpack this is a minor point. Overall, its light weight (compared to the Stanley I replaced), very packable, and very very useful on cold expeditions.

Originally written on Fox Sports North | Last updated 11/7/12
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Christian Ponder has thrown for a fewer than 100 yards in two of the Minnesota Vikings' past three games, a staggering stretch that has many wondering what has caused the passing game to stall.Ponder knows he returns for a home game this week in front of a crowd that could be ready to boo and ask for backup quarterback Joe Webb to be inserted into Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. The 2011 first-round pick said after last week's game, when he completed 11 of 22 pass for 63 yards and an interception, that he wouldn't be surprised by the boos because he knows he hasn't been playing well.But Minnesota is sticking by its second-year starter. Ponder had his weekly press conference with Twin Cities media Wednesday and offered a lot shorter answers than usual. He dismissed some of the recent problems, including insisting the knee injury that bugged him earlier this season is no longer a concern and doesn't affect his game.Five questions and answers from Ponder's...

Miami Football: Former CB Phillip Buchanon Rips Hurricanes Defense on Twitter
Former Miami All-American cornerback Phillip Buchanon did not like what he saw from his alma mater's defense in its Labor Day opener against Louisville, a 31-13 loss.
Buchanon went off on Twitter on Wednesday and into Thursday, using visual evidence to gripe about things like Miami not stacking the box on obvious running plays and defensive linemen not in the proper stance.

I'm still a beginning programmer; I've been at it for 2 years. I've learned to work with a few languages, a bit of web development technologies, a handful of libraries, frameworks, and IDEs.
But over the past two years (and long before I even started, really), I keep hearing references to these...things. A million of them. Things such as C#, ADO, SOAP, ASP, ASP.NET, the .NET framework, CLR, F#, etc etc. And I've read their Wikipedia articles, in-depth, multiple times, and they all mention a million other things on that list, but I just can't seem to grasp what it all is. The only thing I've taken away with any certainty is that Microsoft is behind all of it. It sounds almost like a conspiracy.
Are all these technologies just for developing on the Windows platform? What is .NET? Do some software developers dedicate their entire career just to that side of things? Why would I want to get into it, and what advantage does...whatever it is...have over all the other technologies there are?
I hope this makes sense. It's a broad question, but inside it there's a very specific question asking about something I don't know the name of. Hopefully you can grasp my confusion.

Logically structured and systematically sequenced variation is a cornerstone of an appropriately designed periodized strength and conditioning program (1).
The ability to introduce variation into a resistance training program can include manipulating training load, number of sets and repetitions, exercise order, exercise density (i.e., number of exercises in a session, cycle, or period of training), training focus or priority, and rest intervals between sets (5,6). A relatively new method for introducing training variation into a training program involves manipulating the training set structure. This can involve varying the intraset rest (or inter-repetition rest) interval and/or training load (5,6,7). This type of set modification has been defined as a cluster set and may offer a novel stimulus for maximizing power output and movement velocity (7,8).Types of SetsWhen examining the literature there are two main set structures, the traditional and cluster set, that can be utilized in a resistance training program (5). The most common set configuration used by strength and conditioning professionals is the traditional set. This involves a series of repetitions that are performed with the same load in a continuous fashion (5,6,7). While these traditional set structures are generally better suited for inducing hypertrophy, increasing strength, or improving strength endurance, they may not be the best configurations for improving movement velocity, power endurance, or power output (5,17).The second most common set structure is the cluster set, which was developed as a means for improving the overall quality of the training set by increasing the velocity and power profile of the training set (5,6,7). Typically, the cluster set structure utilizes a 5 - 45 s rest interval between each individual or series of repetitions, which results in increases in power output, barbell velocity, and barbell displacement when compared to traditional set configurations (5,6,7,8,9,13,14). A variety of cluster set structures can be created (Table 1), but there are generally four basic variants. These variants include the standard, undulating, wave, and ascending cluster set (5). The standard cluster set involves placing a 5 - 45 s rest interval between individual repetitions or clusters of repetitions, while resistance or training load is held constant.
For example, a total of 10 repetitions at 75% of 1-repetition maximum (1RM) can be programmed for a given set with 15 s separating every pair of repetitions. This example provides the following loading pattern for a 10/2 cluster set:
Figure 1. 10/2 Cluster Set Loading Pattern
Another strategy could be to utilize a 5-s rest after each individual repetition, yielding the following loading pattern for a 10/1 cluster set:
Figure 2. 10/1 Cluster Set Loading Pattern
Overall, the standard cluster set structure can be oriented in several different fashions where the number of repetitions contained in the cluster are varied or the rest interval is manipulated to change the physiological stress stimulated by the cluster set (Table 1) (5).
Table 1. Example Cluster Set Variants
For example, if the target goals of a phase of training are strength endurance or hypertrophy, the overall number of repetitions contained in the set should be higher and the rest interval between each individual repetition, or a series of repetitions, should be lower. Conversely, if strength and power are the target goals less repetitions should be contained in the set, but longer rest intervals should be placed between the series of repetitions. The standard cluster set configuration can be further adapted by introducing variations to the resistance used during each repetition or series of repetitions (5). Three basic loading modifications can be made to the cluster set that allow for the creation of the undulating, wave, and ascending cluster set variants. With the undulating cluster, the resistance used in the set is structured in a pyramid fashion where the load is progressively increased and then decreased. For example, an undulating cluster might look like the following:
Figure 3. Undulating Cluster Set
Generally, the undulating cluster is constructed with an even number of repetitions so that a pyramid loading scheme (i.e., ascending to a target load and descending back to the original load) can be formatted. The overall programmed load for the cluster set is the average of all the intensities performed for each of the repetitions completed in the set. For example, in the 6/1 cluster above the average intensity of the set is 71%. Conceptually, the descending arm of the undulating cluster series results in a potentiation effect, with higher power outputs and velocities of movement (7). Because of this potentiation effect, the undulating cluster set is recommended for use during strength, strength-power, or peaking phase of a periodized training plan. Another potential loading modification to the structure set is the wave loading structure (5). The wave loading structure utilizes a loading pattern where loading alternates between two or more targeted loads throughout a set. For example, a wave loaded cluster set could be structured in the following fashion:
Figure 4. Wave Loaded Cluster Set
As with the undulating cluster set model, the wave loaded cluster set attempts to create a potentiation effect by performing lighter loads after the completion of higher intensity efforts. Because of the basic structure of this type of cluster set, it is generally employed during strength or strength-power phase of a periodized training plan. The ascending cluster is slightly different than the undulating cluster in that the weight is increased with each repetition, or cluster of repetitions, and ends with the highest load as the last repetition or cluster. For example, an ascending cluster might look like the following:
Figure 5. Ascending Cluster
The central premise that underlies the ascending cluster is to work the athlete up to higher intensity efforts. Because of this targeted outcome, the use of the ascending cluster is typically restricted to the strength-power or peaking phase of an overall strength and conditioning plan. More complex cluster sets can also be created by altering the number of repetitions contained in the cluster, while also employing undulating, ascending, or wave loading patterns. For example, the following set structure may be created:
Figure 6. Complex Wave Cluster Set
An additional method for varying cluster sets involves modifying the rest interval between clusters to target specific training outcomes (5,6). For example, a shorter rest interval (<10 s) will target more of the strength or power endurance end of the spectrum, while longer rest intervals (30 - 45 s) will focus more on strength and power development (Table 2). Ultimately, the structure of the cluster set is dictated by the phase of the periodized training plan and the adaptive response targeted by the employed cluster set and periodization plan implemented by the strength and conditioning coach (5,6).

Secretary General of SWAPO Interviewed by KCNA
| Pyongyang, May 14 (KCNA) -- Secretary General Nangolo Mbumba, who is leading the visiting delegation of the South West Africa People's Organization of Namibia, was interviewed by KCNA before flying back.
He said that he was deeply impressed by what he witnessed in the DPRK.
He noted that the genuine happiness of the Korean people would be unthinkable without the great leaders.
It is fortune and honor for the Korean people to hold the great leaders in high esteem, he said.
President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il made energetic efforts to build a genuine state for the people on this land and developed it into a powerful state, he noted.
He went on:
They were peerlessly great men as they performed great feats in the efforts to build a thriving nation.
Their cause is now being successfully carried forward by Marshal Kim Jong Un.
He is energetically leading various sectors including national defence and economy.
The solid foundation of the independent and modern national defense industry and the wise leadership of Kim Jong Un provide the key to bringing the defence capabilities of the DPRK on a fairly high level.
All successes made by the DPRK are greatly inspiring us, he added.

In our Jan. 26 issue, veteran screenwriter Henry Bean told The Journal he wasn't sure his provocative directorial debut, "The Believer," inspired by the true story of a Jewish Nazi, would be well-received at Sundance. He'd heard that distributors were wary of the controversial subject matter. So he was shocked last week when his film won the festival's Grand Jury Prize, the top award in the dramatic competition -- prompting serious discussions with potential distributors. Now that "The Believer" seems poised to have an audience, at least with the art-house crowd, Bean has a particular group of viewers in mind. "There is no audience I'd rather show this to than one of anti-Semites and neo-Nazis," he told The Journal. "I'd love to know what they think."

It can take months, even years, to learn a new language. Students of the tongue must become accustomed to its unfamiliar accents and the way it is used in practice, gain a feel for the social variations it reflects and build their vocabulary.
That challenge wasn't insurmountable for Nicholas Mark, a 24-year old Australian who mastered Bahasa Indonesia in a couple of years and has now published a children's book in the language.
"I've always had a lifelong fascination with learning new languages," Mark said. "I first took Indonesian as my second language when I was still a high school sophomore and from then on I've always felt a special connection with it. It was my go-to subject, I always looked forward to all my classes."
Mark's heritage is Greek and Croatian. Although he's mastered Bahasa Indonesia, he is still completing his Indonesian studies degree at the University of Sydney. He also takes classes in Chinese language and law.
"I'm not much of a writer, although I wouldn't say I'm not imaginative," he said. "Given all the years I've spent with my eyes glued to the television screen, whether it be watching movies or shows or documentaries, I've always been a well-informed person."
His 56-page book is titled "Petualangan Anak Indonesia," but is also known as "The Indoventurers." In drawing heavily from local traditions, Nick's goal was to contribute to a "resurrection" of Indonesian culture, which he argued too many children were forgoing in favor of mass-produced entertainment from the West.
"I'm glad that in some little way I can contribute to a resurrection," he said.
Mark never meant to write a book. The only reason he produced the first story, the one that started it all, was because he had to for class. It was for an assignment at university in 2007.
"It was a simple task really, and it became a whole lot simpler when I realized I could incorporate my own experiences of Indonesia," he said. "That way I wouldn't just be writing in the language, I would also be actively relating to Indonesian culture."
Mark first visited Bali when he was 10 years old. What he remembered most was the Ubud Monkey Forest.
"I can't forget how mischievous the monkeys were," he said. "Jumping about at an erratic pace, grabbing onto any loose item carried by tourists — I thought walking through the forest was pretty intimidating."
So he wrote about the adventures of Wayan, a boy who dreams of entering the monkey forest but is continually forbidden by his parents because of its dangerous reputation. "I spun a tale of perseverance and adventure, but of course I wanted all of that to fall in line with the culture of Bali, so I had to include mythological elements similar to what already exists."
His professors loved the story, deeming it quintessentially Indonesian. They liked it so much, in fact, that they said he should get it published.
"[My professor] urged me to get it illustrated and produce a bilingual story format. I was overwhelmed with the entire proposition and began to give it a thought," Mark said.
In 2010, Mark lived in Yogyakarta for six months as part of a university program supported by the Australian Consortium for In-Country Indonesian Studies. He immersed himself in the culture.
"I had the time of my life in Yogya; it is indeed a beautiful place," he said. "It was very different from Sydney; everyone was so laidback and at peace with his or her own lives. Everybody had a different sort of smile in Yogya. You could tell it was the genuine kind."
Mark made a lot of local friends during his stay, and he was able to adapt in a hurry. "Fortunately, the language wasn't a problem," Mark joked.
His Indonesian friends made such an impact on him that he borrowed their names for the characters in his stories.
"I had a few Australian colleagues with me during my trip, but at the end it seemed I had grown as comfortable with the native people as I am with my fellow mates," he said. "We even formed a band together. We proudly called ourselves, the 'Jogaroos' — a clever mix of Jogya and, well, kangaroos."
That easygoing, friendly attitude scored him an interview with Galang Press of Yogyakarta, and renowned local illustrator Bambang Shakuntala.
"Galang Press loved my 'Wayang and the Curse of the Monkeys of Ubud' tale. They thought it was very ' dongeng -like' and that the mythical qualities of the story resurface the rapidly diluting Indonesian culture," he said, using an Indonesian word approximating "fairy tale."
Mark said he wished children would pay a little less attention to Disney stories.
"It's disheartening that the children have done away with 'Bawang Merah dan Bawang Putih' ['Red Onion and Garlic'] for some 'Cinderella' and her happily-ever-after [ending]," he said. "By incorporating elements that represent the heart of Indonesia, I thought I'd remind young children of the greatness of their country."
Galang Press told Mark to produce two other stories for a three-part bedtime storybook geared toward children aged 8 to 12. They liked how exciting his first story was, and they urged him to recreate that feeling with the others.
At first Mark thought about getting an Australian illustrator. But he decided against it because he was afraid they wouldn't understand what Indonesian facial features looked like.
"When I met Bambang, I knew I had hit the jackpot," Mark said. "He was the most relaxed 50-year-old I had ever met. And his drawings were so traditionally Indonesian that I immediately asked him to join the project."
It took two and a half years, but Mark and Bambang finally finished the book. The three gripping stories span the island of Bali and the cities of Padang and Yogyakarta.
There's Wayan and his valiant battle against the evil creatures of the forest, Mutia and the cruel witch of Minangkabau, and Nanda and Dani and their mission to save Yogyakarta from dangerous volcanic eruptions.
When asked about his other aspirations, Mark had no shortage of ideas.
"I'd love to have the books not only readily accessible at local bookstores, but I would be all the more thrilled if they were also used as a part of schools' Bahasa Indonesia curriculum," he said.
"And if you're wondering whether you'll see more of my stories in the future, you should not really worry. I've only covered Java and Sumatra, so that leaves me with approximately 17,506 islands to still write about," Mark added with an ambitious smile.
It seems the story hasn't finished yet.

Technological breakthrough a relief for adults with asthma
Every year, thousands of people die in the U.S. from asthma attacks, even though they are using good medications and have it under control. And here in New Orleans, the number of people who have asthma is significantly higher.
But now there's a breakthrough in technology that is helping the most severe adult cases - Bronchial Thermoplasty.
Dr. Tejedor is now the only doctor in the region performing Bronchial Thermoplasty at Ochsner in Kenner.

News Summary: China's too close for Mongolia
(AP) - WARY NEIGHBOR: In the world's rush to get rich off China, Mongolia works mightily to ensure that Chinese investment does not become Chinese dominance.
DWARFED: Mongolia is dwarfed by China. Fully 90 percent of Mongolia's exports go to China, which in turn sends machinery, appliances and other consumer goods that account for a third of Mongolian imports.
STANDOUT: Coal country is where Mongolia's balancing act is put to the test. Chinese demand for copper and especially coal has propelled the Mongolian economy to one of the world's fastest growing and China wants a larger share of the resources.

There is is a not system in testing that is part of the release client of DAZ Studio 4.5. that may help you with what you are have doing. It a scene transfer file format called DSON. this will just mean that the person setting up the figures will need to have the same figures and outfits as you and can then just send you the scene file for you to export vie the FBX exporter.
I don't know how viable this solution as as I have not played around with the release client as I have to keep the production version of DAZ Studio on my system.

Sarah Palin Slams Cap and Trade in Op-Ed, Completely Misses the Point
Posted By dpacheco On July 15, 2009 @ 12:21 am In Politics & Public Policy,Science, Nature & Environment | No Comments
Here's what I took away from (soon-to-be-former) Governor Sarah Palin's Op-Ed [1] in the Washington Post Tuesday:
1. Sarah Palin doesn't acknowledge climate change. But if she did…
2. Sarah Palin doesn't believe humans contribute to climate change.
3. Sarah Palin doesn't understand Cap and Trade, but…
4. Sarah Palin sure can spew talking points!
Treehugger posted a devastating and highly entertaining takedown [2] of Sarah ("Failin' and Bailin'") Palin this morning that we had to share with our readers. Take a look.
Golly. Mrs. Palin has a couple problems with the cap and trade plans [3], dontcha know. Seems it'll be awful expensive, and a little risky–and why bother when there's a big natural gas pipeline we can build, and this Arctic National Wilderness Refuge that's got a whole lot of oil we can use? Plus, coal's getting a whole lot cleaner these days, so we should just burn more of that, too–otherwise, everybody's going to lose their jobs. See, we just need to drill more, get more gas and oil from the US of A, and keep on keeping on with coal–and presto. Energy problems solved.
That is, unfortunately, evidently Sarah Palin's vision for the future of America's energy economy, as explained in her op-ed in the Washington Post [4] today. She should have stuck to 'Drill, Baby, Drill.'
Sarah Palin's Anti-Cap and Trade Op Ed
At least that seemed to get people excited. In her two-page piece attacking what she calls "Obama's" cap and trade (strange, it was authored by Representatives Waxman and Markey), she breaks out all the usual talking points [5] commonly levelled against cap and trade while offering precisely no alternatives to acheiving the climate bill's goals.
In fact, it seems like she either doesn't understand the primary purpose of the bill–which is of course to begin curbing carbon emissions to fight climate change–or she just wanted an excuse to talk up her natural gas pipeline. You know, the one that may never actually get built.
To help you get an idea of the focus of Palin's article, I tallied up some of the key terms that tend to surface in articles about the climate bill:
Number of Times Each Term Used
Climate Change: 0
Global Warming: 0
'Renewable,' 'Alternative,' or 'Clean Energy': 0
Cap-and-Tax: 5
Palin literally never addresses climate change at all in her piece–not a single mention. And she doesn't discuss renewable energy either–she essentially says 'America has a lot of natural resources, and we should continue to use them.' That's it. That's the extent of her vision. For good measure, she repeatedly terms the climate bill a 'cap-and-tax' in a persistent effort to get the term to stick with the American public.

Geek Smack! Crap – Sandal Flask, Cassette Necktie, Touched Genitals Sanitizer
This week's Geek Smack! Crap includes a pair of sandals that I don't think I'd want to drink the alcohol in. A company is making ties using 50% recycled cassette tapes, but the price might hold you from buying one. Finally, if you've touched your genitals, you might want to sanitize. That is what this hand sanitizer is for.

New Vampire Books for January 2013
Here are some of the offerings in the vampire genre for the month of January 2013. Enjoy!
Contingency by Peggy Martinez
Eighteen-year-old Sage Hannigan wants to get back to her own time, preferably one that hasn't been destroyed by an underworld plot brewing in Edwardian-era South Carolina. How hard can it be? All she has to do to accomplish this; learn to use newly acquired warping skills to bend time to her will, take out a few rogue vampires, join an ancient secret society, figure out who is putting the time stream in jeopardy, and find and maim whoever invented the corset. Sage never asked to be chosen by the Druid Priestess, Amerach, to become a Warper. She also never asked to have the future hanging on her shoulders or to warp a hundred years into the past. She certainly never asked to meet Dr. Aldwin Blake, who would make her question her desire to get back to her own time. But if she fails her mission, people will die, history will change, and the present she wishes to return to will be no more.
Blood and Light by Rue Volley
Enter into the world of 16 year-old Rue Volley…who, up until one fateful night, thought she was "normal" or as "normal" as she could be.
But "normal" does not include being a vampire…a truth about herself that she will soon discover.
Rue Volley lives in the quiet little town of Calvary, Minnesota…nestled in the thick woods lining the Great Lakes. Rue, along with her
brother Kai, have lived an otherwise calm life up until their Mother was committed into Rolling River Asylum after she mysteriously stopped
speaking to anyone. Rue is convinced by her brother to attend a party on her birthday, and after she experiences something that she cannot
explain, she and everyone in her world is thrown into madness. Join Rue on this epic journey, 6 books in all, as she struggles with grief,
love, humor, old crushes, newfound infatuations, hot boys, AND vampires, lots and lots of them.
Love Calling by Joshua Grover-David Patterson
Lucy Leary's eighteen year old life is a wreck. Her parents divorced, she's earned a DUI, and her grandfather has died. He left her a single possession: A vampire slaying kit with a note that says, "They're real. Fight them."
Lucy finds answers in a place she never expected–the homeless shelter where she has to perform her community service. The Sundown Shelter is only open at night, and the man who runs it disappears during the day. But digging into the truth is dangerous. What Lucy learns will force her to abandon her life and confront an ancient vampire out to get her family.
The Vampire Within – New Blood by Drew Silver
Welcome to Triton City, California, world-renowned for its quality of life, growing economy, and prestigious university. Here one can find an easygoing commute to work, parents can feel secure with their children playing outside during the day, and there are no beggars on the street corners harassing hardworking citizens to spare a dollar or two. In fact, there aren't any homeless to be seen for miles…any homeless who are alive anyway.
Now the city that prided itself on beauty, strength, and power is at the epicenter of a twisted genetics game between two doctors battling to play God, and a group of college students has discovered they are the game's unwilling pawns. They must learn to rely on each other to defeat not only the evil hunting them, but also the vampire within, always itching to reveal itself and test the boundaries of their souls.
Piece of Me by Lexi Monroe
As if making her laptop sales quota for the month wasn't a pain in the ass all by itself, now twenty-six year old Wynter McBride suddenly finds a whole host of problems from out of a bad b-movie fantasy flick.
Vampires running fortune 500 companies, Werewolves with a biting wit, and well dressed Witches with an attitude are now part of Wynter's everyday life.
Wynter must figure out why the pesky and somewhat perverted little Will O Wisps somehow hold the key to saving the planet.
Snow Bound by Elizabeth Kirk
After learning how to use magic and fighting vampires, anyone would be bored going back to normal college life. As if that wasn't enough, Jen didn't realize how hard it would be to tiptoe around her non-magic family and friends. She can't even talk to her familiar, Rak, without making sure no one else is around! Worst of all, Jen misses the friends she made over the summer. Aside from Rak, they're the only other magics she knows and she hasn't seen them in almost five months!
Jen is all too happy to accept an invitation to go skiing with the gang. She gears up for two weeks of snow, magic, and fun. Just when everything seems to be going great, an uninvited guest turns up. Soon the skiers aren't the only things going downhill. Jen thought that vampires were just about the most dangerous thing the magical world could throw at her. Unfortunately, she's about to learn that people with no magic at all can be just as deadly …

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsFeatured Vehicles
2011 Ford Mustang Steeda StreetFighter Package
Steeda's Latest Stallion Packs A Powerful Punch In A Pretty Package
After several drawings, design studies, focus groups and iterations, the Steeda bodywork went from the computer to the real world as a prototype. From there, as you can see in the photo, the design went through a few final refinements receiving final design assistance from Ford Corporate Designers Melvin Betancourt and Garen Nicogosian who offered their assistance under the Ford/SEMA Show Program. The final version is sleek, unique, and a definite performance-orientated design that is true to the original Mustang and Steeda DNA. "When you look at other designs, sometime they are done with objectives other than performance in mind," Bob explained. "That would never happen at Steeda, as we never compromise a vehicle's performance or safety in the designs that we do."
Natural High
If you drooled over the StreetFighter, but don't make the financial jump into a top-of-the-line tuner 'Stang, Steeda offers plenty of options from parts to entry level, naturally aspirated packages. In fact, Steeda's NA cars have ranked among some of our favorite aftermarket Mustangs that we've spent time in. The final 4.6 iteration of these naturally aspirated packages is the '10 Q350, which won an Outstanding Design Achievement Award at the '10 SEMA show.
This car features the same front fascia and wing as the StreetFighter, but offers a blend of naturally aspirated performance upgrades and a complete suspension upgrade. Rolling on Steeda's own Spyder wheels, the Q350 packs a full Steeda suspension short of the coilovers and Watt's link found on his high-end brother. Underhood, it packs Steeda's own cold-air, axle-back exhaust, charge-motion delete plates, and underdrive pulleys.
With crisp NA performance, and razor-sharp handling, the Steeda Q350 offers a real-world proof-of-concept for the company's wide array of performance parts.

The Undergraduate catalog defines academic probation and the retention standards students must meet in order to avoid academic dismissal. Click here to read the catalog section titled "Academic Standing - Requirements for Continued Enrollment."
You'll see that if you're on academic probation, you must meet retention standards based on your class standing in order to avoid academic dismissal at the end of the current term. For retention purposes, your class standing is based on the credits you will have earned at the end of this current term:
First-term students who earn a term GPA of less than .85 will be dismissed immediately after their first term. There is no probation semester for first-term students if they earn less than a 0.85 term GPA.
If you're a first-term student (meaning, a first-time freshman at ISU), then you are receiving advisement from University College. Even if your major places you in the College of Arts and Sciences, University College dean Dr. Linda Maule serves as your academic dean and will make any academic decision relating to your records.
If you're on probation, you need to know the difference between two types of GPA:
If your academic status is listed as Probation (Dean's Option) or PD, then you were academically dismissed, reapplied for admission and petitioned to return after academic dismissal, and were permitted to return to your ISU studies under this special form of probation. Everything that applies to a student on academic probation also applies to you. In addition, you also have the added challenge of recovering from one (and possibly two) academic dismissals.
Generally, no. You must return to good academic standing before a new academic department will accept you as their major or minor.
However, this does not mean that you should continue to take
courses in a major in which you've already decided you cannot
succeed. Feel free to contact the department of your desired major
and find out which courses you should be taking; discuss your
situation openly with your current academic advisor.

Five years ago, Canadian astronomers found evidence for a planet orbiting a star in the constellation of Cepheus. But new observations by the same team reveal that the planet probably does not exist.
Gamma Cephei is an orange giant star 53 light years from Earth. It is only 12 degrees from Polaris, the North Star, and will take its place as the pole star in 2000 years.
Gordon Walker of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and his colleagues monitored Gamma Cephei for 11 years. They found that the star's velocity towards and away from us varied slightly with a period of 2.5 years.
In 1987, the astronomers thought that the simplest explanation for these velocity changes was a planet, similar to Jupiter, circling Gamma Cephei every 2.5 years. Such a planet would tug on the star and produce the periodic changes in its velocity (New Scientist, This Week, ...

Staff Reporter / 27 April 2013
At least four out of every 100,000 children under five in the UAE die due to gastroenteritis each year, caused by the rotavirus, which can be prevented through vaccination, according to health experts.
Marking Vaccination Week in the Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office (EMRO) region, experts highlighted the need for greater vaccination coverage.
Rotavirus causes around 111 million cases of gastroenteritis, globally, each year.
Consultant Paediatrician at Mediclinic City Hospital in the UAE Dr Kethar Saravanan said: "Rotavirus is the most common form of diarrheal virus amongst infants around the world, and one of the number one causes of hospitalisation amongst children under the age of five in the Middle East," he explained.
Due to lack of awareness and vaccination against this disease, it is estimated that as many as four out of every 100,000 UAE children under the age of five may die of the virus each year: "By simply raising awareness of the importance of vaccinating children against this virus, we can significantly reduce the prevalence of this illness and ensure protection."
Managing Director of MSD Gulf Mazen Altaruti said that each year an estimated 2.5 million lives are saved through vaccinations.
According to latest figures, around 2.2 per cent of UAE females suffer from human papillomavirus (HPV) at any given time, putting them at risk of cervical cancer, with an average of 50 UAE females being diagnosed every year.
Talking about the impact of HPV and cervical cancer in the UAE, Independent Consultant in Community Gynecology Dr Anne Phillip, who runs the Community Gynecology, Menopause & Family planning clinic said: "HPV is one of the most common viruses affecting women around the world."

Your terminology is confusing. We don't usually refer to processes
loading modules, since modules are kernel drivers. Processes may open
device files (see "lsof"), and may dynamically link with shared objects
Actually, Apache supports a different kind of "module"... but I don't know
how to see which ones are loaded.
