Opteron 150 and 250 processors &more
Subject: Processors | May 18, 2004 - 02:53 AM | Geoff Baker
They are bumping them up again. It's the X50 2.4Ghz model of Opteron. You should have a pretty good idea of how they perform by the time you get to the end of this massive benchmark comparison. Haven't seen these in the price engine yet, but curious what an 850 will go for. Yikes.
Quote: "TODAY AMD IS LAUNCHING its Opteron 150, 250, and 850 processors.

Sun completes 'Niagara' chip design
Subject: Processors | May 13, 2004 - 06:42 AM | Ron Goldin
Looks like Sun is finally making strides towards the x86 market, even while they adopt Opteron servers into their foray of products. The question is, just how far can they go to be a top of the line competitors of today's x86 market. If some of the uniqueness of their x86 processor line is as accurate as described below, its possible they will give everyone a run for their money.
Niagara is notable for an unusual design that includes eight processing engines, or cores, each of which is capable of handling four instruction sequences called threads.
AMD Processor Pricing Update
Subject: Processors | May 8, 2004 - 08:28 AM | Ron Goldin
Well, looks like AMD has once again slashed prices to sell their product. Updating their site on May 6th with prices for 800 series Opterons looking the sweetest of all. I mean c'mon, an 844 model for under $700 combined with Tyan's Thunder K8QS 4-way Opteron board. Talk about some Distributed Computing power!

2015-2016 Verification
Verification for the 2015-2016 aid year will require 2015-2016 Financial Aid Forms. These forms will be available online the week of March 23. Stay tuned for further updates, and check your Blue and Gold Connection regularly to view application requirements. Students should log in to Blue and Gold Connection to see what items are requested for 2015-2016. Once the forms are available, students should submit those requirements to the Office of Student Financial Aid.
2014-2015 Verification
Verification is a process used to validate certain information you entered on your FAFSA. Students are randomly selected for verification by the U.S. Department of Education. If you are selected for Verification, you will receive an email from our office describing the Verification Group you have been assigned to. The documents you are required to submit are based upon your Verification Group. You will need to complete and submit all required forms and documentation before any money can be disbursed to you. The sooner you verify your information, the sooner you'll be able to receive the aid you're eligible for.
If you know your Verification Group, you may use the links below:
- Group 1 Verification
- Group 2 Verification
- Group 3 Verification
- Group 4 Verification
- Group 5 Verification
- Group 6 Verification
Processing usually takes two to three weeks, but it can take up to four weeks during the peak season. Because verification must be completed in advance of disbursing any money from any financial aid program, it is vital to send complete and correct information as quickly as possible.
2014-2015 Verification Deadline
Per Federal regulations the final deadline to process corrections for the 2015 aid year is September 28, 2015. To allow time for accurate processing, the deadline to submit verification documents to TAMUK for 2014-2015 financial aid is September 7, 2015 or 120 days after your last day of enrollment at TAMUK, whichever comes first. You must have an official SAR and EFC processed by the Department of Education by June 30, 2015, or by the last day of your enrollment, whichever comes first. Submission of documents does not guarantee a disbursement of funds. Eligibility for a disbursement would be considered for Federal Pell Grant only (undergraduate students only). To be considered for a Direct Loan or Campus-based funds disbursement, you must submit any required verification documents to our office 15 business days before the official closing of the semester in which you are enrolled at least half time.
For more information regarding Verification please visit:
Verification Deadlines and Student Responsibility:
When a student is selected for verification, it is the responsibility of the student to submit all required documents in a timely manner to receive any aid that the student may be eligible for. All required documentation will be requested and listed in the requirements section in Blue & Gold Connection. Students will be notified via email and prompted to log into Blue & Gold to view the requirements that are needed. Students should provide all requested documentation as soon as possible after requested, but no later than 30 days before the official close of the semester in which you are enrolled to receive all aid that may be available, including Federal Pell grant and direct student loans.
NOTICE: If the Office of Student Financial Aid suspects that a student or other individual has purposely provided false or misleading information to fraudulently obtain federal funds, you may be reported to the U.S. Office of Inspector General, and may be subject to fine, sentenced to jail, or both by the U.S. Department of Education.

Beef Taquitos
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 20 mins
Like tacos, only neater to eat. In Mexico, they're often deep-fried, but baking them works well too. It's easier and healthier, and the tortillas still turn golden brown and crispy around the edges. Serve with salsa and sour cream.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more
- vegetable oil, for brushing on the taquitos
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3⁄4 lb lean ground beef
- 1⁄2 cup salsa, plus more salsa, for dipping
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 10 (6 inch) flour tortillas
- 1⁄2 cup cheddar cheese or 1⁄2 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
- sour cream
- Heat the oven to 400°. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook them for 3 minutes, stirring often. Add the beef and use a wooden spoon or a spatula to break it up while it cooks, until it is no longer red, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup of the salsa, the chili powder, and the salt and pepper. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
- Place the tortillas on a plate and cover them with damp paper towels. Microwave them until warm and pliable, about 45 seconds. Top each tortilla with 1/4 cup of the beef mixture, spreading it to an inch from the edges. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the beef.
- Roll up the tortillas and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet with the seam sides down. Brush the taquitos lightly with vegetable oil, then bake them until the filling is heated through and the tortillas are lightly browned, about 8 to 12 minutes. Serve them hot with sour cream and/or salsa.
Most Helpful
My husband loved this dish. We often buy the frozen taquitos so when I saw I could make them myself I wanted to give it a try. These far surpassed the frozen variety. I used more than 1/2 cup cheese, sprinkling about 2 tbsp on each taquito. They browned up nicely. Mine did stick to the foil lined pan so next time I will be sure to spray it first.
These were easy and delicious! I made a couple of minor variations, adding some chopped green peppers and fresh tomatoes and a pinch of cumin. I also used half flour tortillas and half corn. The flour maintained their shape much better, but the corn "crunched up" better.
I just finished eating these. Fantastic! I used olive oil, and added a pinch of cumin, but the rest the same. They are mildly spicy, so add more chili powder if you like it hot. They came out nice and crispy, as if deep fried. I'm going to have one more now........

As tickets for the planet's most hotly anticipated concerts go on sale on Friday, viagogo, the world's largest ticket marketplace, is predicting all 38,000 tickets to the Rolling Stones 50th anniversary tour in New York will sell out in under 5 minutes.
Such is the demand to see the legendary rockers, searches for their two dates at the Prudential Center (December 13 & 15) are currently outstripping searches on viagogo for World Series tickets by 25 to one, and the recorded demand for last year's Superbowl by five to one.
As well as the estimated one million Americans who are expected to try and buy tickets, Stones fans in the US will also face competition from the hundreds of thousands of British fans who missed out on tickets for the two London dates, which sold out in seven minutes. Fans from Europe have been flocking to viagogo to register interest in tickets to the New York dates, with over 300,000 Europeans – enough to sell out the entire World Series – searching for tickets to the New York shows in the past week.
Ed Parkinson, viagogo spokesperson said: "With a worldwide following and a very limited number of tickets available, The Rolling Stones are currently smashing the World Series and Superbowl in the demand stakes. "Competition for tickets is going to be incredible, but with the second date being recorded and televised on pay per view, it really will be a chance to be a part of history."

Native New Yorker Regina Peruggi is a fund raising professional
in charge of one of the toughest jobs in the city. She runs Central
Park. Stretching over more than 800 acres, the park features ponds,
fields, playgrounds, and more than 26,000 trees. Peruggi, the ex-wife
of former mayor Rudolph Giuliani, is responsible for every penny
of the $20 million it takes to operate this urban oasis. Only $3
million comes from city funding; Peruggi must raise the rest of
her budget through donations from the public.
After serving as president of Marymount Manhattan College for more
than ten years, the Peruggi has only been with Central Park Conservancy
a few months before she's sent to perform one of the lowliest jobs
in the system: Peruggi puts on a gardener's uniform and spends a
week doing manual labor. The glamorous late-night fund raising galas
will temporarily stop for this gal, who'll have to report to work
at 6:45 a.m.

In Michael Holley's book, the War Room it was stated that Carimi would have most likely been the Falcons target late in Round 1 if they hadn't traded up for Julio in 2011.
Played for Tice in Chicago, had 2 poor years there. Got benched at 1 point but seemingly did a good job when he played inside at OG. Then got traded to TB for something like a 6th round pick. Rode the pine and even though Bucs had injuries at LG and crappy play from RG Davin Joseph he never saw the field.
Worth a look, as at worst he's Mike Johnson.

What seems to be a simple documentary following Conan O\'Brien on his live tour, is also an exhausting roller-coaster ride of hilarity, melancholy, anger, arrogance, farce and gratefulness. Hilarity in the constant ways Conan tries (and succeeds) to entertain everyone around him. Melancholy and anger in seeing Conan fight with his emotions of having to cope with a broken dream of hosting The Tonight Show, with both morose moments and slapstick jabs to the people that let him down. Arrogance in his \"Mean Conan\"-persona to the people closest to him, and in trying to cope with the many demands of fans. Farce, in the moments where things boil over and Conan truly can\'t stop talking, singing, being courteous to everyone around him. Gratefulness, in the fact that he keeps on keeping on, because he knows that people care and want to live up to their expectations. Conan O\'Brien Can\'t Stop is truly the perfect title to this documentary, but you only really understand that after watching it.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals begin to move on without Darnell Dockett
GLENDALE, Ariz. - It is the cruel, seemingly insensitive nature of football.
When a player gets hurt, the sport does not stop. It moves on without you, providing an opportunity for someone else.
It's next man up, a familiar refrain around the NFL.
The next man up for the Arizona Cardinals is veteran Frostee Rucker following the season-ending knee injury suffered by Darnell Dockett in practice Monday.
"It's terrible for him," head coach Bruce Arians said of Dockett, but "it's a great opportunity for somebody else�and we'll just keep moving on like we always do. One injury is not going to change who we are or what we do."
Rucker is going into his ninth year, second with the Cardinals.
"Frostee has been playing probably the best I've ever seen him play," Arians said.
Acquired as a free agent in 2013 after spending his first seven seasons with Cincinnati and then Cleveland, Rucker played in all 16 games last season, including one start, totaling 14 tackles and one sack.
He started a career-high 16 games with the Browns in 2012 and posted 48 tackles, four sacks, a forced fumble and a pass defensed.
"Frostee is a great player. He can play the game at a high level. He's been a starter in this league," said Calais Campbell, who expects to take on a larger leadership role in Dockett's absence. "That's the way the game is you have guys that can play�backups are supposed to be capable and now they become starters. We're fortunate to have a guy who was a starter before as a starter now."
The Cardinals will also look to a pair of rookies in Kareem Martin, a third-round pick out of North Carolina, and Ed Stinson, drafted in the fifth round after a four-year run at Alabama. Both are big, physical presences -�Martin is 6'6" and 272 pounds, while Stinson is 6'4" and 287 pounds -� but, again, neither has taken a regular season snap.
"We've got young guys who have the ability to be great players in this league, but usually you have a little time to grow up. Because of this situation now they've got to grow up a little faster," Campbell said.
Added Arians, "Ed Stinson has made great progress. Kareem, in the passing game is playing pretty solid. He's got to pick it up a little bit as far as his run stopping ability."
The other option, in addition to working out a couple of players to "see if they can help us in any way" according to Arians, is to slide Dan Williams over from his nose tackle position.
"I played a little bit (at defensive end) last year, toward the end of the season," Williams said. "I'm definitely going to do anything the coaches ask me. I'll do anything for the team."
Of course none of the above will completely fill the void left by Dockett, a three-time Pro Bowler, who, dating back to 2007, has more sacks (34.5) than any other defensive tackle.
"Coach always preaches next man up," Williams said. "Everybody else on the team has to step up. Everybody just has to play better and make sure (to) be more keen on what we're doing, where we need to be because a lot times a guy like Dockett you can make a mistake, but he was athletic enough and good enough he could cover up a mistake. It's just now, we've just got to rally together and just get better with the guys that we still have and still try to attain our goal of being the best defense in the NFL."

Nothing Ive seen of Pavlik has shown me is a skillful and overly accurate on the elite level.
His best opposition have all been brawlers (Zeruche, Zuniga and Miranda) which compliments his style because he can match them for power and strength but out does them for skills.
All of his other oppostion has been extremely average and I bet even Miranda could look like PBF against them.
Im not sure what your benchmark for "very skilled" is but Kelly Pavlik falls far from it IMO. Defensive skills are one of the most important criteria in being "very skilled" and someone who gets as hit as much as Pavlik falls short of that.
As I said I like him, I certainly dont consider myself a critic of him. But that doesnt mean I cant be critical, all fighters have their weaknesess.
I'll let you guess how many rounds this unskilled fighter has lost in his career.........Maybe 7 in 31 pro fights! He was in a slugfest? with Miranda and final punch stats show Miranda landing 22% of his punches? # time national amateur champ and 31-0 as a pro and he competed very well against Jermain when Kelly was 17. Once again his critics will be sut up!

Open for dinner Tuesday through Thursday from 6 to 9:30 PM; Friday and Saturday from 5:30 to 9:30 PM.
Wheelchair Accessible: Yes
Nearby Metro Stops: Smithsonian, L'Enfant Plaza
Price Range: Very expensive
Noise Level: Chatty
Reservations: Recommended
Website: http://www.cityzenrestaurant.com
Best Dishes:
Hits from a recent tasting menu included toro with Meyer-lemon chimichurri; merlu (also known as hake) with piquillo-pepper marmalade; and a pear Linzer torte.
Price Details:
Three-course menu, $75. Five-course tasting menu, $110; vegetarian tasting menu, $90. Three-course bar menu, $50.
Special Features: Wheelchair Accessible, Valet Parking Available, Party Space, Good for Groups
Cuisine: A dazzling mix of French, Asian, and American regional influences that, for all its finesse, never seems pretentious. Chef Eric Ziebold, a Thomas Keller disciple, is equally adept at raising the eyebrows of the palate-fatigued—with, say, chili consommé with chili-powder mousse—as he is at coaxing sighs from the unsuspecting with his butter-sheened Parker House rolls.
Mood: High ceilings, stone pillars, oversize swag lamps, and a serious waitstaff make it hard to forget you're in a temple of exalted cuisine. But when the dining room is full, as it is most of the time, there's a communal hum of satisfaction.
Best for: Impressing pals or clients from New York or toasting a milestone.
Best dishes: Plumjack cocktail made with plum extract and Jack Daniel's on the rocks; a signature amuse-bouche of olive-oil custard with red-chili sauce on top; chili consommé with an oval of chili-powder mousse to cool the liquid fire; grilled sirloin of Kagoshima Wagyu beef, worth every penny of the $30 surcharge; succulent roast shoulder of shoat with caramelized salsify; rib eye with caramelized short ribs and chestnuts; cheeses from the trolley; "s'mores" crepe with marshmallow soufflé and smoky milk-chocolate sauce; Valrhona-chocolate croquettes with pears.
Insider tips: Ask for a second round of those gemlike Parker House rolls and the server will "have to check," but there's a 50/50 chance you'll get another box. If you have a child in tow, don't hesitate to inquire about an alternative to the fixed-price three-course menu ($75) or six-course tasting menu ($105). The result might be fresh fettuccine you'll want yourself. A three-course, $50 menu at the bar is a good option if you're dining alone.

Bangui — Coloured paper chains from last Christmas still hang from the ceiling of a dusty classroom in the Groupement scolaire pour une éducation fondamentale et internationale (GSEFI), a multi-faith school in Bangui, capital of the Central African Republic (CAR).
The teacher's attempt to raise some festive spirit did not save this little community. Schools officially reopened in Bangui a month ago, but children will not be studying at the GSEFI any time soon.
Apart from a hole in the outer wall just big enough to crawl through, the school buildings are largely undamaged by the fighting and insecurity of the past few months. But most of the pupils at GSEFI were Muslim and have probably now fled Bangui, or dare not approach this no-man's land between their enclave and the rest of the city.
"The anti-balaka [an anti-Muslim militia] wanted to destroy the place," a local guide told IRIN, "but the Burundians [African Union troops] drove them back."
Many other CAR schools have been damaged or destroyed since the country descended into chaos after a rebel alliance seized power last year, according to the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF).
A recent telephone survey of 355 schools contacted by aid agencies found that 52 had been looted by armed groups in recent months, 26 occupied by armed groups, 24 struck by bullets and 15 set on fire. In some rural areas entire villages have been burned and local schools, usually built of mud and sticks, would have been destroyed with them.
Since there was no information from some of the areas worst affected by violence, the overall impact could have been worse.
Looting by non-combatants was probably more widespread than the figures suggest. IRIN visited six schools in Bangui's Petevo District on 7 April, and found that at three of them, the metal roofs had been removed - "blown off by the wind" local people said, but a guide thought it more likely they had been stolen.
The Nyaragba state school, which had been occupied by the anti-balaka in December and January, had not apparently been looted or damaged, although local people said the militia had killed several of their Muslim neighbours.
Nyaragba had not yet reopened, whereas some classes were being held at the other state school that IRIN visited and at three of the other four schools, all private. One of these schools had already replaced its stolen roofing sheets, a teacher said.
Education Ministry official Kongbo Ouali told IRIN that as of 4 April about 80 percent of schools across the country had reopened.
More than two thirds of the state schools and just over half the private schools contacted by UNICEF however were still closed.
Teachers' pay in arrears
Insecurity is clearly a major reason why many schools remain closed, but the difference between the state and private sector suggests that pay arrears are also important: 32,000 public servants, including several thousand teachers at state schools, stopped receiving their salaries for several months and although these began to be paid again in March, thanks to support from donors, several months' pay has been frozen.
An Education Ministry official, Antoinette Redebale, told IRIN: "If there weren't insecurity, children could go back to school. But there is another aspect: Teachers' salary arrears must be paid, and there should be help for those teachers whose houses have been looted or burned."
Parents that IRIN spoke to in Bangui's 4th arrondissement, an area where the anti-balaka have had their main base, agreed that security is their prime concern and for the moment they preferred their children to attend a "temporary learning space" organized by UNICEF in the grounds of the Boy Rabe monastery, rather than go to other schools.
This was because the monastery grounds are a refuge for the whole population in times of danger, and they felt confident their children would be looked after there.
Teachers in the Boy Rabe area said some of the schools in the district were open, but that the children did not attend. A parent from the less violent south of the city, Simplice Vala, said: "Sometimes the children go to the state school but after one or two hours they leave, because the teacher has not arrived." State schools are not regular, he complained.
Asked why more private schools had reopened than state schools, a teacher, Christine Tronzapa, said: "What do you expect? It's because the staff [at the private schools] are better paid."
"The government does not have the money to pay the arrears and teachers, like other government workers, will have to make sacrifices," the ministry's Ouali said.
He warned that absent teachers could be sacked, while admitting that a survey of absenteeism has been postponed "until the administrative conditions are right".
Temporary learning spaces
UNICEF and other aid organizations helping the CAR education sector are concentrating in the short term on restarting education in areas where security is a major constraint.
UNICEF says an estimated 23,000 children are attending a total of 115 temporary learning spaces, including 94 in Bangui, organized with its partners.
The "temporary learning space" (known by its French acronym Etape) is basically a large tent, equipped with mats and blackboards but no desks or benches, where more than 100 children can attend a class.
The Boy Rabe monastery site hosts 16 of these tents and at 11am on 3 April was hosting classes for several hundred primary-school-age children.
The organizers said the site could cater for up to 1,600 children per day, with pre-school and primary classes in the morning and secondary classes in the afternoon.
"The idea initially was to free children from the evil spirits they have been living with, memories of killings and corpses," Eric Kitio of the Jesuit Refugee Service, one of UNICEF's partners, told IRIN.
"But after a few sessions of singing and dancing, the children's parents wanted them to have some serious schooling, so now we have more than a hundred teachers working here."
The Etape programme is paying 698 teachers a monthly incentive of the equivalent of US$65 (half of the starting salary for a qualified teacher).
"Peace education" is a key part of the programme.
Asked to sum up the core message of peace education, 15-year-old Louange Gueguere said: "We want peace in our country, and we want the truth and we want to forgive the Muslims - who have done things.
"And we want joy, and forgiveness between us - us and the Muslims."
Longer term educational needs
While they propose to continue with the Etape programme and expand it outside Bangui, UNICEF and other agencies working in the education "cluster" say they have strategies to help the return to formal schools. These include lobbying for better security, providing equipment and light repairs, distributing school-in-a-box kits and organizing school canteens.
The cluster's bulletin also says it "is concentrating strategies on the payment of teachers' salaries, on providing them with transport to school and suitable clothing" (for those whose belongings were looted).
Globally UNICEF has a policy of not paying teachers' salaries, but it can offer incentives for teachers of 'catch-up' classes, the agency's education manager in CAR, Celeste Staley, explained.
In the 2012-13 school year the nation's children lost about five months of schooling, so there is much catching up to do. But all of the above will depend on funding. This year the humanitarian system has appealed for $28.6 million for the CAR education sector, including $7 million for UNICEF programmes, none of which has been received.
The humanitarian coordinator for CAR, Abdou Dieng, told IRIN: "It is because of poor education that the country finds itself in its current state."
Statistics in UNICEF's annual publication State of the World's Children suggest the CAR scores worse on educational indicators such as literacy and school attendance than any other Central African country except Chad.
A more detailed situation analysis of the CAR's educational attainments compiled by UNICEF in 2010 suggests the rate of literacy in the country fell after 2000 and was only 35 percent in 2009.
In the countryside, it says, "only 24% of men and only 6% of women can read and write".
Years of insufficient investment mean the country has only about 9,000 teachers, of whom half are unqualified maître-parents (community volunteers) or semi-qualified trainees. CAR's only teacher training college offers just 150 places a year (for a two-year training), too few to achieve acceptable teacher-pupil ratios in a country of 4.6 million people.
UNICEF's deputy representative in CAR, Judith Léveillé, told IRIN: "The country is facing a major crisis but it's also an opportunity to build back better, making sure that the young learn to read and write, think critically, respect differences and have a chance to take part in reconstruction and reconciliation.
"Schools need to be rehabilitated, text books need to be printed, teachers need to be trained and encouraged to go to the interior. And for that to happen huge resources need to be channelled to the sector."

So last night at my midwife appointment my midwife said in a suprised tone while measuring my fundus, "Oh! Your uterus has grown quite a bit in a month!" I went from measuring 12 cm last month to being 22 cm this month. Then she pulled out her doppler and was moving around and said "Hm. I hear a heartbeat way down here and another way over here." So she then pulled out a very ancient u/s machine and said "Well there's a head, and feet. And a heart and feet way over here." So I guess we are having not one, but two babes. Luckily I can still do a home brith this just means we'll need two tubs and two midwives lol. My midwife and her mom who is also a midwife will be both in attendance. Any mommas here have experience with home birthing twins? :)
Shock of my life.
Proud Athiest FTM/SAHM to my little man Jace Micah born 8/17/11! Gold ( . Y . ) Had our 2nd boy Elijah Oliver April 23rd AT HOME! :)
Why do you need two tubs?
Please keep us updates, this is a pretty unique situation! I hope the remainder of your pregnancy is a smooth ride and you have a wonderful birth :)

Thanks ladies and my midwife said so we have fresh water for each birth :) but if they are too close together than I'll just have to squeeze both out in one tub :P Wish me luck as I try to figure out how to handle a 20 month old and 2 newbies!
Proud Athiest FTM/SAHM to my little man Jace Micah born 8/17/11! Gold ( . Y . ) Had our 2nd boy Elijah Oliver April 23rd AT HOME! :)
Awesome! Can't wait to hear how it goes :)
Tobiah (11/19/08), Levi (6/22/10) and Solomon (1/5/13)
Home birthing, breastfeeding, cloth diapering, cosleeping but that's just what's right for us!
Congrats! Wow, what a shocking way to find out. I always imagine that some how mom "knows," but that is just my dumb thinking (I've never had twins so what do I know). I can't believe how many people are like half way when they find out. You must be in really good shape that you don't feel extra tired from growing two babies. I had a co-worker who didn't know she was having twins until delivery. She had one, then said I have to push again and they were like, oh, that's the placenta, but no, it was another baby! That would be too much for me, LOL.
Yea besides having a fleeting thought about how I would do three carseats in the backseat and only feeling baby in opposite corners of my uterus but not in the middle I had NO CLUE haha. I figured it was just an anterior placenta or something haha.

Community Sanitation Overview:
Water is derived from two wells, is treated, and then stored in a 110,000-gallon tank. A combination of piped water, water delivery and individual wells serves households. A flush/haul system, septic tanks, honey buckets and outhouses are used for sewage disposal. Approximately half of all homes are plumbed. The piped water system and household septic tanks were installed in 1984. The City has received funds to repair the piped water system (repairs are on going, as needed) and to construct a piped gravity sewer system which is expected to be completed in 2010. Additional funding will be needed to complete subsequent stages of the overall project. Electricity is provided by Gwitchyaa Zhee Utilities: waste heat from the electric utility may be available for the water/wastewater utility pending available funding and agreement between the utilities: it is recommended that this option should be actively pursued.
RUBA Status & Activities This Qtr:
The Fort Yukon city treasurer, who is also serving as acting city manager until a new manager is hired, attended and successfully completed a 32-hour Financial Management for Utility Managers workshop provided by RUBA staff in Fairbanks May 9-14. RUBA staff maintained email and telephone contact with the City of Fort Yukon this quarter, providing assistance in response to miscellaneous questions from the city clerk, offering assistance with development of the FY10 budget, and requesting copies of financial reports and other documents. The City of Fort Yukon introduced its FY10 budget at a public meeting and held a public hearing on the budget. The new budget is scheduled to go into effect July 1, 2009.
RUBA Activities for the Coming Qtr:
Fairbanks RUBA staff will continue to monitor and assist as needed, and will try to make a site visit in the coming quarter.

In the meantime, we are able to confirm the following: The city adopted a balanced, realistic budget for the current fiscal year (July 1, 2008-June 30, 2009)that includes income and expenses for the utility. The budget shows that the utility does not generate sufficient revenues from user fees to cover all operating expenses, but that locally generated general fund revenues cover the difference. The city treasurer provides regular monthly financial reports to the governing body that compare year-to-date income and expenditures to the budgeted amounts. The city purchases fuel for the water/wastewater utility from the local bulk fuel distributor. Fuel expenditures are higher than anticipated because of higher per/gallon cost and increased demand caused by longer than normal periods of extreme cold this past winter.The utility has identified a repair and replacement fund.
Accounting Systems
Essential Indicators
The utility has adopted a collection policy and actively follows it.
The utility bills customers on a regular basis.
An accounts receivable system is in place which tracks customers and reports past due accounts and amounts.
An accounts payable system is in place.
The payroll system correctly calculates payroll and keeps records.
A cash receipt system is in place that records incoming money and how it was spent.
The utility has a cash disbursement system that records how money was spent.
Sustainable Indicators
A chart of accounts is used that identifies categories in a reasonable, usable manner.
Monthly bank reconciliations have been completed for all utility accounts.
The utility has a purchasing system that requires approval prior to purchase, and the approval process compares proposed purchases to budgeted amounts.
Accounting Systems Comments
The accounting systems seem to be well organized. The utility has a collection policy. The utility does not follow all the specific procedures of the collection policy, because of concern that disconnecting customer service during the winter months may result in operational problems (actual service disconnections are performed in the summer months). Nonetheless, the utility is active in trying to enforce collections. Customers are billed on a regular monthly basis and the utility mails out customer statements each month. The customer statements provide information regarding invoiced items, amounts billed, payments, and balances. The accounts receivable system tracks customers and reports current and past due accounts and amounts in a satisfactory manner: accounts receivable can be sorted by class (departments). The QuickBooks payroll system is used to correctly calculate payroll and maintain payroll records. All income received is recorded on sequentially numbered receipts in permanent receipt books, and income data is entered into the computerized system on a daily basis: the system identifies the source, amount, and purpose of each income transaction and posts the amounts to the appropriate department and line item. All expenditures are made by check (except for small petty cash expenses) and all checks are recorded in the computerized accounting system, where they are posted to the appropriate department and account. Bank reconciliations were being completed on a regular basis through March 2009, but without seeing documentation we cannot confirm that they are current. The purchasing system includes the use of purchase orders which must be submitted and approved before purchases are made.
Tax Problems
Essential Indicators
The utility has a system to accurately calculate, track, and report payroll tax liabilities.
The utility is current on filing tax reports.
The utility is current on making tax deposits.
If there are any past due tax liabilities or recorded tax liens, a lien release has been issued or a repayment agreement has been signed and repayments are current.

Personnel System Comments

The utility complies with the open meeting act for all meetings.
Organizational Management Comments
The City of Fort Yukon owns and operates the water/wastewater utility. The city council is active in making utility policy and in attempting to enforce utility policy. As expressed elsewhere in this report, there is a concern about the ability to enforce the collection policy by disconnecting service in winter months. The city has tried to deal with this issue by implementing more aggressive collection procedures during the summer months. The city council may need to change some specifics of the collection policy to deal with collection issues and concerns. The city has not yet hired a permanent city manager to fill the vacancy in that position since last year.In the meantime, the city treasurer has been serving as acting city manager until the position is filled. A copy of the organizational chart is on file. The city council meets on a regular basis and complies with the Open Meetings Act.

Article: Efficacy of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of hepatic malignant tumors using a perfused-cooled electrode.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation ofhepatic malignant tumors. An ultrasound-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation using a 17-gauge single needle perfusedcooled electrode (Cool-tip) RF ablation system was performed on 30 hepatic tumors in 26 patients between January 2009 and September 2010. The medical records, CT scan, and MRI results were assessed at one and three months after the procedure was completed. Primary technical success, local tumor progression, and complication were also evaluated. Twenty-six hepatic lesions in 23 patients were primarily hepatocellular carcinoma. Only four lesions in three patients were metastasized. Three of them were from colorectal cancer whilst another one was from malignant melanoma. At 1-month follow-up imaging post percutaneous radiofrequency ablation, complete ablation rate was 86.7%. Local tumor progression at 3-month follow-up imaging was 4.2%. The rate for minor complication was 3.8%. No major complication was found Complete ablation rate was found to increase signiJicantly in tumors size of less than 2 cm compared to those diameter larger than 2 cm (p < 0.05). Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation is one of the most effective and invulnerable therapeutic modality in treatment of hepatic malignant tumor. Size is the key factor of technical success as the smaller the size of tumor the better the outcome achieved.Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand = Chotmaihet thangphaet 01/2013; 96(1):77-82.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography (US)-guided core needle biopsy (CNB) for breast lesions. We performed US-guided CNB of 733 lesions in 674 women from January 2003 to December 2005. Surgical excision was performed on 331 lesions. We compared the histopathologic findings of the CNB specimens with those of surgical specimens or with patients' long-term follow-up images. We also calculated the agreement, underestimation, sensitivity and false-negative rates. The CNB results showed 334 breast cancers (46%), 28 high-risk lesions (5%) and 367 benign lesions (50%). Four (1%) lesions were categorised as inconclusive. The final diagnosis was breast cancer in 348 lesions. The kappa measure of agreement between the US-guided CNB results and surgical excision findings or follow-up results was 0.861 (p-value < 0.001). The underestimation rate was 40% (10 out of 25) for atypical ductal hyperplasia and 47% (14 out of 30) for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). The CNB false negative rate and sensitivity for malignant lesions was 4% (14 out of 348) and 96% (334 out of 348), respectively. US-guided CNB is an accurate diagnostic alternative to surgical biopsy in patients with breast lesions detected via US, although the high underestimation rates in DCIS and high-risk lesions are still a concern.Singapore medical journal 01/2012; 53(1):40-5. · 0.63 Impact Factor

Johnson: Hit track to gym before holidays arrive
Temperatures dipped this weekend to unseasonably chilly levels, and reminded us that summer is long gone, fall is upon us and winter is on its way.
With only a few weeks until Halloween (scary thought) I've started planning my holiday season with exercise in the forefront of my mind, because often, in the hustle and bustle of holiday happenings, it's the first thing we all drop off our list.
Personally, I love exercising at the gym between Thanksgiving and New Year's, because there aren't as many people in the classes or on the machines and I feel like I get the place to myself. Hopefully a few of you will join me this year though!
The point of having a plan is following the plan, and I know many of us start out with good intentions only to fall far short of our projected mark. We then spend the remainder of the time saying "Well, I missed my goal, so I might as well throw in the towel."
But that's not a healthy attitude to go in or to come out with. The best thing you can do is come up with a realistic idea of how much time you will have to devote to your exercise plan, and give yourself room for emergencies or other nonnegotiable obstacles that get thrown in the way, like that office holiday party you can't miss or the in-laws annual Turkey Day assault on your home.
If you normally are fitting in five to seven workouts a week during the regular year, plan to try to make three to five during the holidays. If you know you won't be up for that after-work walk when the cold really sets in for good and light is hard to find after 6 p.m., move your walk to noon. You'll still get some time in, you don't have daylight or chilly temperatures as an excuse, and you may even enjoy that break from work to bust some excess holiday stress with light activity. This switch would also be a solution if you are like me and are loath to get up early during the fall and winter to work out because it's just cold and dark. Make noon your power hour for exercise, and that evening holiday party also doesn't interfere with your exercise plans.
If you don't exercise at all but want to get a jump on the New Year's crowds, I applaud you. It's a great time to make fitness a part of your life, and the time you spend at the gym could prevent you from gaining excess holiday pounds or even allow you to lose a few between now and the first of the year.
Start slow and be sure to check with your doctor to make sure you're OK to exercise. Make a goal to fit in three workouts a week for the first few weeks, and then increase to four or five a week if you can.
Invest in a gym membership for the winter, because outside exercising offers too many excuses (like the ones listed above, cold and/or dark, too much to do) to bow out and stay home on the couch.
Enlist a buddy you know will keep you accountable and stick to your plan.
And when you meet your goal, reward yourself with a nonfood item to encourage yourself to keep going.
I've heard it said that failing to plan is planning to fail. When it comes to exercise, plan to succeed through the holidays, and watch yourself want to keep up the good work all year round.

China Xiniya, Zogenix Raise $144 Million in U.S. IPOs
Nov. 23 (Bloomberg) -- China Xiniya Fashion Ltd. sold its $88 million U.S. initial public offering at the top of the price range, while Zogenix Inc., a developer of treatments for central nervous system disorders, raised $56 million.
China Xiniya, a designer of men's business clothes in China's Fujian province, sold 8 million American depositary receipts at $11 apiece, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and data compiled by Bloomberg. San Diego-based Zogenix priced 14 million shares at $4 apiece after originally offering 6 million at $12 to $14.
The deals followed the biggest week for U.S. initial sales since March 2008, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The IPO market has stabilized after 61 offerings were postponed or withdrawn this year, with companies from General Motors Co. to LPL Investment Holdings Inc. raising more than $17 billion combined last week as the Standard & Poor's 500 Index traded near a two-year high.
"You're seeing a continuation of that confidence in the equity markets," said Sean Kraus, who oversees about $2.2 billion as chief investment officer at Citizens Business Bank in Pasadena, California. Investors are "a little bit more comfortable with IPOs, even those that may not have been able to get done a few months ago," he said.
Today's Trading
China Xiniya slipped 2 percent to $10.78 at 10:36 a.m. in New York Stock Exchange trading. Zogenix was up 4.3 percent to $4.17 in Nasdaq Stock Market trading after earlier surging as much as 34 percent.
Cowen & Co. led China Xiniya's offering. The designer and manufacturer of men's business apparel and accessories will use proceeds from the IPO to build new manufacturing facilities, open stores and develop new products, the prospectus said.
Chinese companies have posted four of this year's ten best performances among IPOs on New York exchanges this year, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The country's economy will grow 9 percent next year, more than three times as fast as the U.S., according to estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
ChinaCache International Holdings Ltd., the Beijing-based provider of content for business websites, had the biggest first-day rally on New York exchanges in three years, jumping 95 percent on Oct. 1, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
SouFun, Syswin
SouFun Holdings Ltd., the Beijing-based operator of China's largest property website, surged 73 percent on Sept. 17 after selling its $125 million IPO at the top of the forecast range.
Syswin Inc., a Beijing-based real estate agency, delayed its $135 million U.S. IPO scheduled for yesterday, data compiled by Bloomberg show. New York-based Morgan Stanley is leading the offering, the prospectus said.
Wells Fargo & Co. of San Francisco and Boston-based Leerink Swann & Co. arranged Zogenix's sale. The company will use proceeds to fund clinical trials and the commercialization of its treatment for migraines, according to the SEC filing.
Zogenix, which had no revenue until this year, posted sales of $14.6 million in the first nine months of 2010, the filing said. The company's net loss widened to $71.4 million from $39.7 million a year earlier.
GM of Detroit sold $15.8 billion of common shares last week in the second-largest U.S. IPO on record, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Boston-based LPL, the brokerage and investment advisory firm owned by TPG Capital and Hellman & Friedman LLC, raised $517 million including its overallotment option.

Mistrial declared in dragging case
The judge in the assault case of two San Antonio-based boot camp officials accused of dragging a teen behind a van in Banquete declared a mistrial Friday after the jury was unable to reach a verdict.
The jury deliberated more than 13 hours over two days and sent out about a dozen notes, many saying they were split but leaning toward not guilty verdicts.
The final vote was 9-3 in favor of not guilty for Pastor Charles Flowers, 47, and 11 -1 in favor of a not guilty verdict for Stephanie Bassitt, 21.
Flowers, who founded Love Demonstrated Ministries, International with his wife, and Bassitt, a former staff member, were accused of using a rope to tie 15-year-old Siobahn McClintock to a van on June 12 and dragging her behind it.
If convicted of the Class A misdemeanor, they faced as much as a year in county jail and up to a $4,000 fine.
Prosecutor Michael Gordon said District Attorney Carlos Valdez would decide whether to retry the case. Gordon said from talking with the jury it seemed some were hung up on when the teen received her injuries.
Flowers' lead attorney, Jimmy Parks, said the jury also asked to meet with the pastor and his wife after the judge's decision, a rare occurrence. One juror who voted for acquittals said she would send her own daughter to the boot camp, Parks said.
The two originally were charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second-degree felony. But 347th District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos lowered the felony charges to simple assault on Monday after the defense argued the van and rope could not be considered deadly weapons.
During the trial, defense attorneys proposed the Floresville teen, now 16, had intentionally injured herself and lied about the dragging incident. They also accused the girl's mother of trying to profit from the situation by suing both defendants, Flowers' church and boot camp along with helping another witness write a book about the case.
The prosecution admitted the teen was troubled but said it was Flowers and Bassitt who went beyond discipline with a brutal and criminal act.

Oh baby that's good action right there 8D
@trywizard I had the same thought when I watched that video. Although I don't know if the trailer for deep down was truly, in game, footage I do like what they are aiming for. It very well could be DD2 in it's early stages.

The structure of this book is
fun and will make reading enjoyable for young girls that are
a bit put off by large blocks of text in regular chapter
books. The book describes crushes but is in no way graphic.
It is mentioned how some kids have gone through divorce,
the loss of a parent, and the betrayal of a friend. Most
shocking of all is that Ignatow chooses to have one of her
"authors" have two fathers (homosexual, of course). The
book does not promote this lifestyle, but it does put it in
a positive light. Overall, this book is entertaining and
will make young girls keep turning the pages, giggling along
the way.
This book mentions traumatic events, as well as
