PYREX® Limited Two-Year Warranty
World Kitchen, LLC promises to replace any Pyrex glass product that breaks from oven heat, and any Pyrex non-glass accessory item with a manufacturing defect, within TWO YEARS from the date of purchase.
The owner must follow the Safety and Usage Instructions provided with the product. Please contact our Consumer Care Center for warranty claims. KEEP THE PRODUCT. You may be asked to return it.
Incidental and consequential damages are expressly excluded from these warranties. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation on incidental or consequential damages, so the foregoing limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Pyrex® Glass Use & Care
As with all glass products, you must exercise an appropriate degree of care, especially when cooking food at high temperatures. There are three primary risks associated with using glassware for cooking: (1) breakage due to a sudden temperature change applied to the glassware; (2) breakage due to impact if the glassware is dropped or knocked against a hard object; and (3) burning when handling hot bakeware.
- Avoid sudden temperature changes to glassware. DO NOT add liquid to hot glassware; place hot glassware on a wet or cool surface, directly on countertop or metal surface, or in sink; or handle hot glassware with wet cloth. Allow hot glassware to cool on a cooling rack, potholder or dry cloth. Be sure to allow hot glassware to cool as provided above before washing, refrigerating or freezing.
- Oven must be preheated before inserting glassware.
- DO NOT use on or under a flame or other direct heat source, including on a stove top, under a broiler, on a grill or in a toaster oven.
- Add a small amount of liquid sufficient to cover the bottom of the dish prior to cooking foods that may release liquid.
- Avoid handling hot glassware (including ware with silicone gripping surfaces) without dry potholders.
- Avoid microwave misuse. DO NOT use glassware to microwave popcorn or foods wrapped in heat-concentrating material (such as special browning wrappers), heat empty or nearly empty glassware in microwave, or overheat oil or butter in microwave (use minimum amount of cooking time).
- Be careful when handling broken glass because pieces may be extremely sharp and difficult to locate.
- Handling your glassware without an appropriate degree of care could result in breakage, chipping, cracking or severe scratching. DO NOT use or repair any glassware that is chipped, cracked or severely scratched.
- DO NOT drop or hit glassware against a hard object or strike utensils against it.

Ekdum Bengali
I am from Mumbai visiting Kolkata. Even though I am a Bengali haven't eaten our Bengali cuisine everyday. So Bhojo Hari Manna came highly recommended.
I was not disappointed. The servers are well aware of their food. The managers make recommendations as well.
We ordered many things. One thing I liked about Kolkata was that most items came in small portions, perfect as you could order some more if felt like of the same thing without being overly priced.
We enjoyed the fish recommendations as well as the vegetarian dishes.
Loved the mishti doi and choice of sweets for the day. We went here twice and had a lot of fun eating.

Nice Bengali Food
Really one can enjoy the best Bengali food out here. I went to this ballygunge branch and I liked the place very much. Although the place is not very big but they have utilized the space in the right way. Service was also quit decent. We ordered hilsa and rice and it was just awesome. Rates are also reasonable. Looking forward to going back soon.

Decent Bong fare with scope for improvement
Went there with family for a Thursday dinner. Food was good, especially the Bhetki Paturi and Mutton Kobiraji. They should increase options of starters for the Veggies surely- we could only order stuffed potato at it was not up to the mark i must say. Pricing was decent and so was the ambiance until a group of unprofessional friends(seemingly on a office party) arrived and started being extremely loud in their conversations paying no heed to the privacy of those around them. I did expect the restaurant manager to intervene and tell them to maintain some decorum but it was not to happen. Nevertheless, the food is what might make this place worth a revisit. Overall an average experience.

Bengali delights
I'm not one who believed in eating Bengali food outside , that too after paying a hefty sum . But my stance got broken after I tasted the delightful cuisines on offer at bhojohori manna. Who would have thought that a simple thing called dal , would keep me drooling over it? Add to it , specialities like the bhetki fry, prawn in green coconut , chitol machh , and chicken dakbungalow. I've realised that I'd committed grave mistake in denying the calls of the place uphill now , and I look forward to going back soon!

Bong connection
The special "chitol macher peti" and "bhetki macher paturi" are the two main dishes for which I prefer to visit this food joint again and again.....located in a very convenient place and the price range is towards the higher end. ambiance is nice and a great place to celebrate your special Bengali days when you thrive for Bangali food but do not feel like going up to the kitchen.... :)

Great food
I was there yesterday with a couple of collegues. wanting to bengali food , we landed at this place. Th ambeince is ok i would not say anything great
We ordered betki fry as the starter, it wa nicely flavoured crusted pieces of fish . after that we had the A puri kind of dish called luchi or someting and some dal.. That was also awesome .
Lastly we have the hilsa and rice it was awesome . need to start doing some serious reviewing ... but the place is awesome , must try
Not worth the dough!!
You see the owner of this place had meant it for tollywood celebs, and thus, the place serves anything for any price, bad service is like a character of this place, sorshe ilish is more sour than sorshe, and the prices are obviously higher than the other joints/branches of course because it is for Celebs you see anyway, overall not better than the other branches even if it has some items only made for the 'celebs'.
My pick would be the saltlake one!!

Jai Baba Bhojohari
I had heard a lot about this restaurant from Hyderabad itself. I believe the original Topshe and Gautam Ghosh are among the owners of this place. Bhojohori has multiple restaurants in Kolkata and I was advised by a friend to visit the Hindustan Park outlet. And I was not disappointed.
The restaurant has a nice no-nonsense ambience. The menu is elaborate and the days special items are written on a white board. We tried out Tel Koi, Chingri Malaikari and Chicken Dak Bungalow. All of them tasted great. . Dessert was Aam doi, sweet curd with distinctive mango flavor.
Enjoyed the meal. Also ogled (sic!) at the next table, where guys were tasting luchi, chholar dal and begun bhaja etc. Pity one can only eat so little at each meal. Felt like tasting all the items there.
The total bill for two persons came to Rs 550. Pretty economical for a great meal.Will be back there when I visit Kolkata next.

Bhojo's up-market version at Gariahat
This Bhojohori is at Hindustan Road and not in Sarat Bose Road.
A ground floor residential apartment converted into a restaurant. Seating arrangement is much better than the Ekdalia joint. This one runs an attached kitchen. Food is usually good, with their flagship item like Mutton Dukbangla and Degama Saheber Kankra. Not to mention the usual choice of Illish, Pabda, Chingri (Golda & Bagda both), Chicken and Mutton.
Usually I also go for Sukto (though it's not like my Mom's recipe), Mocha'r ghonto and Jhinge Posto.
Since I went out of Kolkata for the last 5 years, I visit this place whenever I come back to the city.
Of late, I observed the service is getting poorer, and the most annoying thing is not showing courtesy and care to "non-bong" customers.
Last time, a non-bong family of three (Husband, wife and a kid) next to me ordered for Loochi, Daal and some torkari. They also ordered Borishali Illish. They wanted the Illish to be served along with the meal, but the Illish came at least after half an hour once they are finished their Loochi. May be the selection of menu was not right, but in that case they should be guided with Bengali menu.
Bhojohori, if they want to become trend setter need to improve in service.

North Carolina Tourism launches new VisitNC.com
For the first time since 2009, the North Carolina Division of Tourism has significantly enhanced its digital presence with a new website for consumer travel planning. VisitNC.com features a fresh look with dynamic content and responsive web design to make travel planning easier and more interactive.
In addition to its agile design, the new website aligns with the Division's key focus of showcasing North Carolina's beauty and continued growth of downstream referrals to industry partners' sites. In 2012, downstream referrals increased 10 percent on record traffic of more than 4 million visitors.
"VisitNC.com is the preeminent consumer travel planning website for North Carolina and the centerpiece of our tourism marketing efforts," said Wit Tuttell, director of tourism marketing for the Division, which is part of the state Department of Commerce. "The site plays a critical role in promoting the state's tourism industry, which directly supports nearly 200,000 jobs for North Carolina residents and contributes $1.5 billion in state and local tax revenues."
The Division of Tourism kicks off the website launch with the "Beauty Amplified Photo Sweepstakes," which offers visitors a chance to win three exclusive trips of a lifetime. Consumers can go to visitnc.com/beauty-amplified to enter and find additional details.
A major component of VisitNC.com is its responsive design, which provides an optimal layout and user experience for any screen size — from mobile devices to web-enabled televisions. In just four years, mobile traffic on VisitNC.com has grown from 1.3 percent to 33 percent.
"With so many people using mobile devices to make their travel plans, it was important for us to provide a compelling user experience regardless of platform," Tuttell said. "Whether someone goes to the site on a cell phone, tablet or computer screen, the new VisitNC.com will showcase the state's awesome landscapes and also reflect the character — the people and places — that adds depth to the journey."
The website is part of a brand evolution that includes the Division's "beauty amplified" tagline. A custom-designed logo and typeface build on North Carolina's position as a place of unrivaled scenic beauty where deeper connections happen. The site was developed in collaboration with Charlotte-based Luquire George Andrews (LGA), the Division's marketing agency of record.
To shape the site's content-first architecture, the web team used a research-based approach that drew on consumer traveler studies, usability testing and partner input. Among the enhancements of the new VisitNC.com:
Integrated, sharable content. The website is designed to engage visitors in exploring North Carolina and sharing what they learn. Site users can find compelling content by interest, inspiration, geography and date with multiple types of content — videos, trip ideas, feature stories, listings and reviews — gathered around a specific place or topic. One-click sharing via popular social media platforms extends the site's reach.Increased rich media. A new, 90-second "Deeper Journey" video overview of the state is featured on the website and the Division of Tourism's YouTube channel. Vignettes from the popular North Carolina Weekend program are accessible from VisitNC.com through the Division's partnership with UNC-TV.Consumer reviews. Listings include third-party insights from TripAdvisor.com. The partnership with TripAdvisor.com reinforces VisitNC.com's status as the go-to source for North Carolina travel information.Improved keyword search. New content is indexed immediately so that visitors access the most up-to-date information.Industry partner enhancements. Data entry has been streamlined to make it easier for attractions, businesses, event sponsors and others to initiate and update listings. VisitNC.com's comprehensive statewide database includes 18,500 entries representing accommodations, attractions, restaurants, events, golf courses, seasonal special offers, travel professionals and 375 local and regional destination marketing organizations.

The Bryan West boys are back home after an exceptional run at the Senior League World Series in Maine. The team ended their tournament run with a 2-and-2 record and came home early Monday morning to supportive fans. The players tell News Three it was an experience of an lifetime.
"We were supposed to win state, but we went farther than that," Gilbert Vasquez said. "At least we're champions here."
The team won their first two games against Lithuania and Curacao, but consecutive losses against New Jersey and Ohio knocked Bryan West out of the tournament.
"You know we had a great run this year," Bryan West Coach Richard Martinez said. "As far as the boys are concerned it was a sacrifice. You're just going to play ball to experience a once in a lifetime deal."
They may have left the series early, but the team has reached home-town celebrity status.
"Watching it on television and actually playing, it was pretty nice," Aron Longoria said.
"I'm through signing autographs. They're going to have to start paying for it," Vasquez said.
Even though tired and a little homesick, every single player was happy about what the team accomplished.
"We can all play again," Vasquez said. "We're just going to focus on school, because we're probably going to be on varsity and looking at colleges, see where we're going from there."
"The experience was great," Martinez said. "It's not everyday that you can say you played in the world series."
The Bryan City Council will recognize the Bryan West team at its meeting on Tuesday, August 26th.

Judas Priest at the Family Arena, 11/10/11: Photos
Judas Priest brought the noise to St. Charles last night. Opener Black Label Society had skulls, DJ Lady Starlight had brown booze straight from the bottle and the fans came with rawk fists at the ready. Jon Gitchoff went with a camera and proved that you need a hell of a lot more than equipment to be a photographer. Check some highlights below.

In a few years' time, they could be the next generation of elite triathletes. Before the best in the world compete in Des Moines, the IronKids raced for a national title. Every step of the way, the crowd cheered them on.
"It cheers me up. I really like it," says 7-year-old Molly Trachta.
More than one thousand kids- as young as six and all the way up to 15- competed a swim, bike and run at Gray's Lake.
"They're from all over the Midwest, Puerto Rico. I think there's 14 different countries that have little kids here today," says Hy-Vee Ceo Randy Edeker.
Don`t let their age fool you. These triathletes qualified to get here and they`re competing for a national title.
"I finished 6th, but that like exceed my expectations," says 15-year-old Sarah Voss.
"I didn't get in the top five because it's my first year, but I'm just glad that I finished ," says 10-year-old Emma Trachta.
After crossing the finish line, every kid got a medal.
"It's an accomplishment," says Edeker. "Not all of these kids are going to be elite athletes the rest of their lives, but it does launch them maybe on a lifestyle of keeping fit and being in shape."
At 15, this is Voss' last IronKids.
"I'll be going up to the adult level which is a big jump, but it's gonna be great. I want to do triathlons for the rest of my life," she says.
While it was the kid's turn today, tomorrow, the adults and professionals take over. The Hy-Vee Tri will crown a national winner and give away a million dollars in prize money.

Tag Archive for FlashSoft
In early 2012 SanDisk, well-known manufacturer of flash memory products, acquired FlashSoft. Like a number of other companies in the virtualization storage space, FlashSoft has several different products designed to use SSD and flash memory to cache storage I/O. They have specific products for Microsoft Windows Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (and clones). They also have a product for VMware environments, SanDisk FlashSoft 3.1 for VMware vSphere.
One sure way to improve performance is to cache the non-dynamic data of any application. We did this to improve the overall performance of The Virtualization Practice website. However, there are many places within the stack to improve overall performance by caching, and this got me to thinking of all the different types. At the last Austin VMUG, there were at least three vendors selling caching solutions that were designed to improve overall performance by as little as 2x to upwards of 50x improvements. That is quite a lot of improvement in application performance. Where do all these caching products fit into the stack?

In the measurement of the distance between two immersed points using ultrasonic signals, a control beacon is located at one point and a servo-beacon at the other point. The control beacon emits a first signal which is received by the servo-beacon. After a set period of time T sufficient for the disappearance of all echoes, the servo-beacon emits a signal which is received by the control beacon. Measurement apparatus associated with the control beacon determines the distance as a function of the time between emission of the first signal by the control beacon and reception of the signal from the servo-beacon, and the velocity of the ultrasonic signal which is determined in the region of the control beacon.
1. A method for measuring the distance between a control beacon and a servo beacon immersed underwater, comprising the ordered steps of:
(a) emitting a first ultrasonic pulse signal from the control beacon,
(b) simultaneously disabling receiver means on said control beacon for a first time period greater than the travel time of said first signal between said control and servo beacons,
(c) receiving said first pulse signal at said servo beacon,
(d) simultaneously disabling receiver means on said servo beacon for a second time period T to prevent the detection of echoes or reflections of said first pulse signal from other objects,
(e) emitting a second ultrasonic pulse signal from said servo beacon at the expiration of said time period T, said second pulse signal having a freqency equal to that of said first pulse signal,
(f) receiving said second pulse signal at said control beacon,
(g) measuring the velocity of an ultrasonic pulse signal in water at said control beacon, and
(h) determining the distance between said two beacons as a function of said measured velocity and the propagation time of said first and second pulse signals between the respective beacons.
2. A method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: emitting a further pulse signal from the control beacon at the expiration of a time period T after the reception thereby of the second pulse signal from said servo beacon.
3. A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein said periods separating the instant of reception of a signal and the instant of emission of a signal by said beacons are the same for each of said two beacons.
4. A method as claimed in either claim 2 or claim 3, wherein the distance is determined as a function of the interval of time separating two consecutive emissions from said control beacon.
5. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the emission of a signal from said control beacon takes place automatically in the event of the non-reception of a signal from said servo-beacon following the emission of a signal by said control beacon.
6. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the velocity of said ultrasonic signals at said control beacon is measured each time the distance between said two beacons is determined.
7. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the signals emitted by said two beacons are identical in duration, the measurement of the velocity being effected by means of identical signals over a return path to the control beacon.
8. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the emission of a signal by a said beacon is controlled by a clock which determines the disabling time period.
9. A method as claimed in claim 8, wherein said clock controls the time of non-reception of the signal emitted by said servo-beacon.
10. A method as claimed in claim 1, in which the signals emitted by said two beacons are each controlled by a respective quartz clock, said clocks having the same frequency.
The invention relates to a process for the precise measurement of a distance in water by controlled emissions and receptions of ultrasonic signals with a view to eliminating stray echoes.
Known processes for the measurement of distance by the emission of an ultrasonic signal and reception of the echo generated on an obstacle, it being desired to know the distance between the obstacle and the point of emission of the signal, all have the major disadvantage that they give rise to an uncertainty resulting from a multiplicity of stray echoes.
Such an uncertainty is all the more troublesome because the distance to be measured may lie in a zone in which the speed of the ultrasonic signals is different from the speed at the surface of the water, because these distances can themselves vary within wide proportions, and because the desired main echo may not be received.
There exist a very large number of methods for making it possible to select echoes by filtering the echoes received, both in terms of frequency and amplitude, but these methods do not make it possible to remove the final uncertainty. In addition, they make it necessary to measure the speed of propagation of the ultrasonic signal at the point in question.
According to the invention there is provided a process for the measurement of the distance between two immersed points using the detection of the duration of propagation of ultrasonic signals between said points, comprising placing an emitting and receiving control beacon at one of said points and a receiving and emitting serve-beacon at the other of said points, causing said control beacon to emit a signal and then remain unresponsive to any signal received thereby during a period of which the duration is greater than the time of travel of a signal between said two beacons, causing said servo-beacon to remain unresponsive to any stray signals and echoes for a period of time T following the reception of a signal emitted by said control beacon, causing said servo-beacon to emit a signal at the end of said period T, which signal is received and detected by said control beacon, and determining the distance d separating said two beacons as a function of the velocity of the ultrasonic signal at one of said points and of the interval of time separating a signal emitted by said control beacon and the first signal received by said servo-beacon.
The above process can have the advantage of removing any uncertainty, since it suffices to envisage a period T, the duration of which is sufficient to be certain of removing all the echoes resulting from the signal emitted by the control beacon.
In addition, since the signal emitted by the servo-beacon can be an undeformed pure signal, the precision of the measurements can be considerably enhanced, even for substantial distances, without it being necessary to create expensive emitters and receivers.
Having determined the perior T for the maximum distance which is likely to arise, an absence of response during a determined period can easily be detected by the servo-beacon.
Preferably the control beacon is arranged to automatically emit a signal after a determined period in the event of non-response from the servo-beacon.
Similarly, the process makes it possible to check the measurements, as soon as the measuring beacon again picks up the responses from the servo-beacon, by automatic repetition of the measurements, it being possible for the duration of each cycle to be 2(t+T), in which t is the propagation time of the signal travelling the distance d and T is the period of silence for the disappearance of stray echoes.
The invention will be more fully understood from the following description of an embodiment thereof, given by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a control beacon and of a servo-beacon;
FIG. 2 is the diagram of the emission and reception signals of the beacons; and
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an example of a circuit associated with the beacons of FIG. 1.
The means for carrying out an embodiment of a process according to the invention for the measurement of the distance d between two immersed points comprise a control or measuring beacon 1 and a servo-beacon 2 placed at respective ones of these points. The beacon 1 is connected by line 4 to a control and read-out unit 5 which also receives signals from a velocity meter 3 via line 6.
The unit 5 comprises a control button 7 for operating the control beacon 1, a window 8 for displaying the calculated distance and a window 9 for displaying the speed of propagation of the ultrasonic signal at the point in question, that is to say at the point of measurement of the velocity meter 3.
The emitting-receiving devices 10 and 11 of the beacon 1 and of the servo-beacon 2 respectively can be of any suitable type. This also applies to the velocity meter 3 and it will be understood that the circuits which make it possible to register, at window 9, the speed measured by the velocity meter 3, and also the circuits for calculating the distance d displayed at the window 8, can be of any suitable type, provided they give the distance d in accordance with the process described below and represented schematically in FIG. 2.
In FIG. 2, line 12 is the representation, with time, of two successive signals emitted by the beacon 1, signal E1 being emitted at instant 13, and signal E2 being emitted at instant 17, and of the reception R'1, at instant 16, of a signal E'1 emitted at the instant 15 by the servo-beacon 2 and represented by the line 18. Line 18 also shows by R1 the reception at instant 14 by the beacon 2 of the signal E1 emitted at the instant 13.
The measuring beacon 1 can provide the value of the distance d=vt, in which v is the velocity indicated by the measuring apparatus 3 of the ultrasonic signal in water during the time taken to travel a known distance once in both directions. The value of the distance d can be obtained by measuring the time from instant 13 either to the instant 16 of the reception R'1 of the signal E'1 emitted by the beacon 2, or when the signal E2 is emitted at the time 17. In the latter case, the emission E2 at 17 takes place after a time T2. which is equal to 2(t+T), the intervals 13-14 and 15-16 being equal to t and the intervals 14-15 and 16-17 being equal to T. The distance d is then equal to (T2 -2T)(v/2). In the first case, the duration T1 between the emission time 13 and the reception time 16 of the measuring beacon is resolved into two intervals equal to t and a single period T. The distance d is then equal to (T1 -T)(v/2).
In both cases, the measurements can be very precise, the durations of silence T being known with very high precision by using a quartz clock which can be the same on each of the two beacons, and the durations t corresponding exclusively to the time of travel of the signals and not to those of possible stray echoes.
In general terms, the beacon 1, FIG. 3, emits a pulse of frequency f for a duration t0 which is short relative to the duration t for travelling the distance d. This emission is effected by closing a contact 7 of a circuit 19 connecting the feed and calculating circuits 20 to the emission circuit of the beacon 1.
When the pulse E1, emitted at the instant 13, is received after time t by the beacon 2, the signal is analysed by circuits 21 in order to ensure that this is indeed a signal emitted by the beacon 1. It is transmitted to a time counter 22, the purpose of which is to trigger the emission control circuit 23 at the end of the interval of time T, at which it is certain that all stray echoes due to the emission from the beacon 1 will have disappeared. At this instant, the circuit 23 triggers the emission of the pulse E'1 at the instant 15, and blocks the reception-detecting circuits for a further period T.
When the emission circuits of the beacon 1 have been controlled for a time greater than the period T, the reception circuits are ready to receive the pulse emitted by the beacon 2. The signal received is transmitted to a circuit 24 for analysing the signal, which triggers time counter 25. After the period T has elapsed, the circuits 26 and 19 cause the emission of a further pulse E2 at instant 17, FIG. 2. On receiving the value of the velocity of the ultrasonic signal in water from the measuring apparatus 3, the calculating circuits 20 cause the calculated distance d to be displayed on the window 8.
As has been stated, the calculating circuits can be of any suitable type and can provide the value d, either after the time T+2t or after the time 2(T+t), in particular if a re-emission E2 is envisaged.
The displays of the velocity of the ultrasonic signal at window 9 and of the distance d at window 8 can obviously be replaced or duplicated by transmitting and recording circuits. Similarly, the circuits for controlling the emissions and receptions of pulses can be of any known suitable type, provided that they are placed under the control of the time counter 25, in accordance with the above process.
As regards the analysing circuits 24, they depend on the pulses emitted and can be omitted if the medium in question does not give rise to stray signals.
In the event of the non-response of the beacon 2 after a given time, a circuit 27 triggers the automatic emission of a further pulse by the beacon 1, until the emission pulse is received from the beacon 2.
An extremely convenient, precise and safe means for determining distance, regardless of the depth, is therefore produced. Since the apparatus is of low bulk, it can be used by any diver or, in the case of very great depth, it can be lowered by any known and suitable means.

Returning student says CSUCI is 'like a family'
Aida Michael had to put her dream of going to college away while she raised her two children. But now, at age 50, she is reaching for that dream once again.
"After 21 years of being a mom, I decided to go back to school," she said. "Now, I think, it is the moment. Now I can retake a dream."
Michael is a psychology major at California State University, Northridge's off-campus center at CSU Channel Islands. Her registration may say Northridge, but she considers herself a Channel Islands student and is relishing her time at the new campus.
"I love this university," she said. "It's just like a family here. All the professors, all the personnel, they're just so helpful.
"This university is a blessing."
Trae Cotton, director of student development for CSUCI, is equally appreciative of students like Michael. She was one of the first students to take advantage of the student forums he held regarding the formation of a student government on campus.
"She showed up and expressed her interest, saying, 'I'd like to be a part of this,' " he said.
Michael's education began as a youth in Mexico's Yucatan. At 15, she immigrated with her family to Oxnard, where she has lived since. Now that her children are grown, she works full time as a caregiver for the elderly and disabled and goes to school full time.
She earned two associate's degrees at Oxnard College before transferring to CSUN's off-campus center at CSU Channel Islands. Psychology is not yet offered as a major at CSUCI but will be starting next year.
Michael said she could have gone to University of California, Santa Barbara, but chose CSUCI's campus because it offered small classes.
"The size of the classes -- it's wonderful," she said. "You are one-to-one with the teacher. The teachers are so willing to guide you, to help you."
Her goal is to complete her bachelor's degree, then go on to graduate school. She dreams of earning a doctorate and going into clinical research. She wants to study the brain, maybe look at personality disorders.
"I think there's a lot to do in that area," she said. "The brain, it's just beautiful. One of our teachers says, 'Just keep loving your brain.' Boy, do I love this brain."

Warriors welcome No. 13 Asheboro Monday
J.F. Webb's loss to Chapel Hill in Friday's Carolina Conference Tournament final set up a first-round rematch with Asheboro for the Warriors, who Saturday were handed the four seed in the Mideast Bracket of the 3-A state playoffs.
Webb knocked off Asheboro 72-56 in the first round last season in the eight-nine seed game. The Blue Comets (13-13), of the Mid-Piedmont Conference, earned a 13 seed this season.
The winner of Asheboro at Webb (Monday, 7 p.m.) will meet either No. 5 Southern Wayne (16-8) or No. 12 Mayodan (16-9) McMichael in Round 2.
By winning Friday's game, Chapel Hill earned the top seed in the Carolina Conference after the Tigers and Warriors shared first place for the regular season.
Webb's only two NCHSAA losses this season have come to Chapel Hill.
"They're a good team," said Warrior coach Leo Brunelli. "I don't think there's anything difficult (about playing them), I think it's just a matter of two teams competing. We both want the same thing."
Webb and Chapel Hill met four times last season, twice in the regular season and once in the league tourney before the Warriors won at Chapel Hill in the second round of the state playoffs.
The growing rivalry could add another chapter Friday in the third round.
"We have to get there," said Chapel Hill coach Tod Morgan. "I feel like they'll be there for sure next Friday. If we can get there, I feel like we'll see them again."
The top-seeded Tigers host No. 16 Eastern Guilford Monday and would face either No. 8 Spring Lake Overhills or No. 9 Eden Morehead in the second round.
Morgan said an emphasis on boxing out and "a lot of drills" helped his Tigers keep Isaiah Hicks away from the basket Friday. Hicks was held to four second-half points and six rebounds, all grabbed in the first quarter.
Chapel Hill is 2-2 at home in the last two seasons against Webb when Hicks has been in the lineup. Each time, the teams have played to a packed gym, highlighted by the rowdy Tiger student section.
"It's like Duke and Carolina," Morgan said of the rivalry. "It's just amazing. Coach Brunelli and his staff do a tremendous job. Everybody talks about Isaiah Hicks and certainly he is a tremendous talent. As a Carolina graduate, I'm looking forward to him in the future. But the rest of the guys are so talented too."
Warrior girls headed to Mebane
The J.F. Webb girls have the 13 seed and will visit No. 4 Eastern Alamance (21-6) of the Mid-State Conference Monday.
Webb (13-11) finished fourth in the Carolina Conference and is returning to the postseason after missing the state playoffs last season.

Site Reviews1996 - Magellan, the McKinley Internet Directory:
Mathphobics, this site may ease your fears of the subject, perhaps even help you enjoy it. The tone of the little lessons and "appetizers" on math and logic is unintimidating, sometimes funny and very clear.

Math resources for both students and teachers are given on this site, spanning the general topics of arithmetic, logic, algebra, calculus, complex numbers, and Euclidean geometry. Lessons and how-tos with clear descriptions of many important concepts provide a good foundation for high school and college level mathematics. There are sample problems that can help students prepare for exams, or teachers can make their own assignments based on the problems. Everything presented on the site is not only educational, but interesting as well. There is certainly plenty of material; however, it is somewhat poorly organized.

A federal grand jury has returned an indictment against New York hedge-fund billionaire Raj Rajaratnam, the principal in the $21 million Galleon Group hedge-fund insider trading case -- the biggest such case ever brought, and the first to use court-authorized wire taps. As ABC News reported exclusively, Rajaratnam has also provided extensive financial support to a charity linked to the Tamil Tigers terror group.
The 36-page, 17-count indictment closely tracks the criminal complaint on which Rajaratnam was arrested in October. Rajaratnam is charged with conspiracy and securities fraud, accused of operating an elaborate insider trading operation in tech and other stocks through his hedge fund. Galleon Group had made Rajaratnam one of the wealthiest men in America, with an estimated net worth of $1.3 billion.
John Dowd, Rajaratnam's lawyer, told ABC News that his client "is innocent and looks forward to his day in court when a jury of his fellow citizens will examine and evaluate all of the evidence."
Rajaratnam was a major contributor to the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and also the single largest known U.S. contributor to a charity linked to the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka, according to records obtained by ABCNews.com.
A Sri Lankan native, Rajaratnam gave more than $3.5 million to the Tamil Rehabilitation Organization (TRO), whose assets were frozen by the U.S. Treasury Department in Nov. 2007 because of alleged ties to the Tamil Tigers.
According to documents filed with the IRS, Rajaratnam's contributions to the TRO were made in 2005 and 2006 through a separate charity, which he founded in the wake of the tsunami which hit Sri Lanka in Dec. 2004.
Despite its stated relief efforts, the Treasury Department described the TRO charity as "a front" for Tamil Tigers fundraising and procurement in the U.S.
"TRO passed off its operation as charitable, when in fact it was raising money for designated terrorist group responsible for heinous acts of terrorism," said Adam Szubin, director of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control at the time.
The Tamil Tigers waged a bloody insurgency against the government of Sri Lanka in which both sides were accused of civilian atrocities. Under the Clinton administration, the State Department designated the Tamil Tigers as a terrorist organization in 1997.
Sri Lankan government officials alleged that contributions funneled through U.S. and Canadian-based charities prolonged the group's bloody campaign.
The leaders of the Tamil Tigers were killed by government forces in May, effectively putting an end to its insurgency.
Rajaratnam and his wife were also major contributors to a number of Democratic campaigns, giving a total of $118,000 to, among others, the Senate campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer and the presidential campaigns of Mrs. Clinton and Barack Obama.
"He was big with Hillary and then jumped over to Obama after Hillary lost," said one Democratic party figure involved in fundraising.
Associates of Rajaratnam formed a Tamils for Clinton fund raising group for her presidential campaign and sought her help in getting the Tamil Tigers taken off the State Department's Designated Terror List.

WASHINGTON, June 28, 2011 Recruiting and retention remain steadily on track throughout the military services, with every component reporting strong year-to-date numbers through May and full confidence in reaching fiscal 2011 goals by Sept. 30.
All four active services and five of the six reserve components met or exceeded their year-to-date accession goals through May, defense officials reported today.
The Army reported 44,950 active-duty accessions through May 31, 102 percent of its year-to-date goal, officials said. The Army National Guard recruited 34,837 members, 101 percent of its goal; and the Army Reserve, with 20,555 accessions, topped its goal by 111 percent.
The Navy reached its accessions goals of recruiting 20,942 active-duty sailors and 5,423 Navy reservists through May, officials reported.
The Marine Corps also met its active-duty accessions goal by recruiting 14,995 Marines, and signed on 6,675 Marine Corps reservists, 110 percent of its year-to-date goal.
The Air Force met its accessions goals for active duty and the Air National Guard, recruiting 18,444 active-duty airmen and 4,529 Air National Guard members.
The Air Force Reserve recruited 6,079 members, 2 percent short of its year-to-date goal of 6,194.
Retention rates remained high throughout the services. Successful recruiting and high retention rates, along with military downsizing, has impacted the number of positions available not only to first-time recruits, but also for prior-service members wishing to return to service, Pentagon spokeswoman Eileen Lainez said.
Because the services maintain most of their force structure with junior grades where service members are serving their first term, the services need a steady stream of new recruits to fill those slots, she explained.
Traditionally, the military services bring in prior-service recruits to address current or projected manning shortfalls that they are unable to fill through other force management tools and programs, she said.
"In today's recruiting environment, with improved retention and greater propensity to serve, the number of specialties identified as 'shortfalls' is greatly reduced," Lainez said. This, in turn, "reduces the number of opportunities for those wishing to return to duty."
Prior-service members historically represent about 5 percent of active-duty recruits, according to Curtis Gilroy, the Pentagon's director of accession policy. For fiscal 2010 that figure was down to 3 percent.
"Still, there remain opportunities in the active and reserve components for prior-service members to return," Gilroy said.
The services identify their needs by skill and grade, and Gilroy said he encourages those who want to return to contact a recruiter to discuss what needs exist.
Article is closed to new comments.
The opinions expressed in the following comments do not necessarily reflect those of the U.S. Department of Defense.
At a glance this is quite impressive however, it's easy to recruit when the economy leaves few choices. You fail to identify how many of those recruits actually graduate Basic Training and of those who graduate, how many go to their first Command actually ready and able to work versus how many have debt and family issues for the Command to fix. The recruiting selection process needs to be honed to accepting those who are ready to be Service Members, not simply looking for a roof over their head. The numbers will be significantly different at a considerable financial savings.

Rose Flack is a super cool blonde chick from Idaho with some killer mini-dreads. She seems very sweet and well-grounded. She went into a nice memorial to her deceased father, as well as her deceased mother. How to deal with such tragedy at a young age and come out so seemingly together. Good for her.
Simon was hot for her saying immediately that she looked "terrific." He asked her to tell him something about herself to which she responded, "I'm very charming." . . Well, true. She chose to sing one of my all time favorite songs by Carole King – "I Feel The Earth Move."
She did pretty well. It's a hard song to sing. She had nice range and a nice tone.
Paula said that she needed to work on the vocals but that everything else was there. Simon said it wasn't the best song choice but that there is something special about her that he loves – that she was memorable. Randy said she has a cool vibe. They all sent her through to Hollywood.

Straight off the boat from Samoa, Taylor Vaifanua, chose to sing a song called "Joyful, joyful" for her American Idol audition in Salt Lake City, Utah. Standing 5'11′ at 16 . . she cut an impressive visage. She had a nice soft tone to her voice.
Kara said that she was impressed with her because she had seen her practicing hard in the bathroom. Randy said that she has good natural potential. Randy said it was one of the best vocals and that she was on pitch. Simon said yes, as did everyone else. I had to re-watch it to see what they were talking about. She does have a great tone but it wasn't that memorable.

Austin Sisneros is a sweet young blonde boy who came to American Idol to let people know that it's ok to follow your dreams. That's a nice sentiment from a student body president. He was surprising to me. He had a very nice tone and a very soulful style that was unexpected given his all american look.
Randy said that he thought it was a weird song choice but that it was ok. I think it was just that it was not what you would have expected to come out of him. It was very mature. Simon was huffing and puffing. He sang another one that was equally soulful. Randy said he definitely has a voice but he was going to send him through due to perseverance. Kara said he is genuine and there is something there. Paula agreed and added that he is very charming. Simon said that he just needed to be young and that he could be great. They all sent him through.

Recently divorced mother of one, Megan Corkrey, is a cutie with a severe tattoo on her right arm and shoulder. She seems very sweet. She chose to sing "Can't Help Lovin' That Man of Mine." She definitely has an interesting voice with a good range. I'm not sure that she will be able to get through very far but maybe she can do a bit more than the jazzy thing.
Randy said he kind of liked her and that there was something there. Paula agreed and said that she loved her. Simon said that he loved it and that she was unique and memorable. Kara said she had a glow and an adorable face. They all sent her through to Hollywood.

Although I may be right into the Great Outdoors, that doesn't always mean that I'm prepared to leave all my creature comforts behind! Any camping trip that runs longer than a night or two needs to be well prepared for, and so when I headed off on a recent trip to Fort William with the family for an extended break, I reckoned that comfort was in, and mere survival was unnecessary. And it was with that thought in my head that I packed a variety of additional equipment that I wouldn't normally strap to my back…like these fabulous Colemans Standard Quad Chairs.
While these easy to use and lightweight to carry chairs may not exactly fall into the concept of 'glamping' (glamourous camping for those of you not yet in the know…), they certainly elevated my trip to something of a more comfortable nature. We had our megasized tent erected in a little under twelve hours (see image below…lol!) and settled down for an evening meal and a relaxing drink or two.
One of the features of this Colemans Chair that I really liked, was the drinks holder in the right arm, a very handy little pocket that meant I could sit comfortably without having to stretch too far to retrieve my beverage. It's also great for keeping drinks stable, rather than balancing them on the dubiously wobbly plastic camping table we had along as well.
The back rest on this folding Quad Chair seems higher than most camping chairs, and it was great to be able to sit back and relax properly. Plus, the wider seat means that there's no constant shuffling for comfort.
Just as an aside…when folded, these chairs come in a material carry case that sports a great shoulder strap and means carrying them is fairly easy. I go to a lot of spectator events that don't always have a lot of seating, so this chair has just become my new best friend!
We got our Coleman's Chairs from Outdoorkit.co.uk, and you can click here to get one all of your very own.

The three English teams remaining in the Europa League were kept apart in the quarter-final draw.
And Chelsea's opponents, Rubin Kazan, insist they want to play at their home stadium instead of Moscow.
Rubin, in the Russian republic of Tatarstan, is the furthest east of any European club in the competition but the club played their last-16 home match against Levante at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium due to problems with the pitch.
A decision on where to play the Chelsea game on April 11 will be taken after a UEFA pitch inspection next week.
The game is expected to be in Moscow, which would mean a shorter journey - though still a significant one - for Rafael Benitez's team ahead of a possible FA Cup semi-final three days later.
The Blues have played 52 matches already this season, starting from the Community Shield, and have seven games lined up for April, including the Premier League visit of Tottenham that would have to be moved should they beat Manchester United in their cup replay.
A UEFA spokesman said: "There will be a pitch inspection next week in Kazan to decide where the match will take place."
But Rubin vice-president Kamil Iskhakov told www.sports.ru: "For the decisive second leg we will have at home, we definitely want it to be at the Central Stadium of Kazan.
"I am very happy with the draw - I am familiar with Chelsea's owner Roman Abramovich from when I worked in the Far East and Abramovich was governor of Chukotka.
"We became friends from a shared loved of football and be at this stage of the Europa League against so eminent and powerful rival, which is owned by our countryman, is just fantastic."
In the other Europa League quarter-finals, Tottenham appeared to be handed the easiest draw after being paired with Swiss side Basle, while Newcastle will play Benfica from Portugal and Turkish side Fenerbahce will face Lazio of Italy.
Rubin Kazan will be tough opponents for Benitez's Chelsea team.
The Russian side have already knocked out two Spanish teams - holders Atletico Madrid in the round of 32 and Levante last night, winning 2-0 after extra time in .
Rubin were also unbeaten in a tough group that include Inter Milan, and are particularly strong defensively, having conceded only three goals in 10 European matches.
Spurs' opponents Basle scraped into the quarter-finals after Russian side Zenit St Petersburg missed a late penalty against the 10-Swiss side.
Newcastle's opponents Benfica came into the Europa League knock-out stages after finishing third in a Champions League group including Celtic and Barcelona, during which they achieved a 0-0 draw at the Nou Camp.
Rubin's coach Kurban Berdyev told www.uefa.com: "Chelsea is probably the toughest opponent we could get. But it will act only as an extra motivation and will make this tie more attractive. We will try to give our best in the matches against a top English team and be at their level."
Murat Yakin, Basle's coach, insisted his Swiss side had "nothing to lose" against Andre Villas-Boas's Tottenham.
He said: "We are extremely excited about this draw. Tottenham Hotspur are a great team from a wonderful city. We have nothing to lose against them. We have earned the opportunity to play against teams like these. It's already a huge accomplishment to be in the last eight of the Europa League."
Benfica director Rui Costa said the Portuguese team would respect Newcastle.
He added: "I felt that all the teams wanted to avoid us and that is a sign of respect for what we have been doing and shows our credibility in European football. "Newcastle deserve all our respect but we trust in ourselves. We will give it our best to go through."

The visa situation in Bali is extremely simple if you are only visiting for a short period of time. When you arrive in the airport in Denpasar, you will go through immigration and be issued a 30 day tourist visa for $30. This allows you to stay in Bali for up to 30 days. If you want to stay for over 30 days, you have a few options.
The first option would be to go to the nearest Indonesian embassy and apply for a 60 day social visa. To do this you will need to contact a travel company in Bali and get a sponsorship letter. This is fairly easy, and you can search for companies online who will give you a letter for a fee of around $35. Once you have the letter you have to take it to the Indonesian embassy, fill out an application, and bring your passport and a passport photo, after which they will decide if they will issue you the visa or not. It then takes about 1-3 weeks for them to make the visa and put it inside your passport (they will have your passport during this time). The cost is $45 per visa. I would only suggest getting this if you are going to stay exactly between 1 and 2 months in Bali. You used to have to get a social visa if you were going to stay in Bali over one month, but now you can extend a tourist visa as well as a social visa, which brings me to your next option.
The second option is to extend your tourist/social visa while in Bali. There are a few misconstrued facts about how exactly you can get this done, but generally I have heard that you have to give it to someone to extend for you. You can usually go through visa companies in Bali (ask around and youll find one), or through a private person who will do it for you. This costs 600-700,000 rupiah for each month you extend, and requires you to physically give your passport to a stranger for the time it takes to extend. This was probably the hardest thing I did in Bali, but you just have to do it. It is important to keep color copies of your passport with you at all times for this reason. It generally takes 1-2 weeks to get a visa extended, and you have to submit the request no later than a week before the visa will expire. I have also heard that you can go to the immigration office and wait in line and extend the visa yourself, but I was not able to find out where the office was or exactly how to do it. I figure its worth the money to get someone else to do it for you so you avoid the hassle of waiting in lines at an immigration potentially all day. But, I believe its only 200,000 rupiah if you can figure out how to go to the office and do it yourself, so if you can/want to attempt to do that then go for it.
If you are going to overstay your visa you can do it for a couple of days and pay a fine at the airport. The fine is 200,000 rupiah per day overstayed, so unless you are going to only overstay your visa for two days I would recommend just extending it since the cost is the same. Also, if you are pulled over or are required to show your visa during those couple of days that are expired, you could potentially get thrown in jail, so Im not sure if its really worth the risk. The best advice would be to plan your travel so you are in Bali for exactly under the time a visa is expired.

However, as you can see above, Gruul is technically a humanoid. And thanks to reader Nate S., we've got a picture of Gruul in his lair, looking as attractive as a female Orc can look. I don't know how much Mudder's Milk you have to drink to make Gruul look that attractive, but it's got to be a whole lot of alcohol.
Of course, the other thing about Gruul is that as the fight goes on, he gets bigger, so I'm still curious to see if, while wearing the Gnome glasses, you could get a picture of the raid fighting a giant Gnome (heck, who needs the glasses-- Blizz, here's my official request for a giant Gnome instance boss in Northrend). And I think a lot more experimentation is needed with these goggles, anyway-- can we see Thrall as a Gnome or Bolivar Fordragon as a female Orc?
Update: Ask and ye shall receive. Thanks, myrlin!
