Online Inquiry Form
All UI&U degrees and certificates
For new and returning students
Degree: Bachelor of Science
Credits: 120
Start: Jan, Mar, May, Jun, Aug, Oct
Because there are varied professional paths and opportunities in this field, separate areas of specialization, called concentrations, are offered. Students may choose to take courses within concentrations that focus on
Working with young children (birth through age eight), their families and their communities. The major is intended to strengthen skills, increase understanding and broaden attitudes of our students in their work with children and families. The importance of educating young children cannot be overstated in the present and for the future. The Early Childhood Studies degree is even more imperative due to federal government regulations that require each day care center and head start program to have teachers and directors with a minimum of a bachelor's degree.
It is important to note that the teacher concentration does not grant certification, but provides a sound pedagogical foundation for students who wish to apply for teacher certification in their respective states.
The Bachelor of Science degree with a Major in Early Childhood Studies is designed to provide a vehicle for professionals in the field to directly apply their knowledge. The major promotes professionalism in the field and can only improve the development of young children.
The curriculum is guided by research and adherence to best-practices in the field. Learning outcomes drive the direction of the curriculum and are adopted from the National Association of the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
There is a need for professionals in the field of early childhood studies. The federal mandate ACF-IM-HS-08-12 states that "…at least 50% of Head Start teachers nation-wide must have a baccalaureate or advanced degree." Additionally in Florida, there is a need as specified by law. Florida State Statute 1002.652 states that "…the aspiration goal that each Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) classroom will have at least one Pre-K teacher who holds a bachelor degree or higher in the field of early childhood education or child development."

From smart grids to smart cities: Japan plays key role
By: SGN Staff
Quick Take: Japan is moving forward aggressively to become a major global player in smart grids and smart cities. As you will read in the story below, it has four major smart city projects, all with a significant smart grid component. But Japan also has dozens of additional smart city initiatives underway around the country. And a robust Japan Smart Community Alliance organization that links industry, academia and policymakers.
Japan was a smart grid laggard until the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Now it is full speed ahead on smart grid projects that will let it substitute renewable energy and demand response in place of electricity from reactors. And on the expansion of smart grids into smart cities. - Jesse Berst
While Japan has been working on building smart cities since 2010, the earthquake, tsunami and resulting nuclear plant meltdown pushed those efforts into high gear with multiple trials and projects in a range of smart grid-related areas, from demand response to EV charging, according to an article in Sustainable Business.
The Japanese government has been pushing initiatives in Yokohama, Toyota City, Keihanna Science City and Kitakyushu, as well as other locations around the country. While the projects certainly are heavy on technologies, the overall intent is to provide a healthy economy, sustainable growth and an environment with a high quality of life for citizens. And citizens are expected to take a hands-on role in smart cities development, as this excerpt outlines:
"Each of these projects is varied and diverse, with some considering energy and others considering EVs. However, the main aim should be to consider the lifestyles of the citizens, which in the end will determine the form the cities should take. Smart cities are not something that should be tackled by just governments and corporations and then presented to residents. The general public must also be actively involved in sharing their own ideas and helping to formulate the cities by throwing their wisdom into the pot."
The Yokohama project recently embarked on a demand response deployment at six large commercial buildings to test the effects of drawing power from storage batteries and energy efficiency measures. Toyota City is examining keeping the lid on power demand increases as multiple EVs are charged, and the project also involves the use of battery storage and an energy management system. Part of the Keihanna project is evaluating the use of parked EVs as storage batteries combined with recycled EV storage batteries to reduce power demand from factories. And Kitakyushu is conducting a dynamic pricing trial with residents as part of its Smart Communities Creation Project.
Updates on these projects are available at the Japan Smart City Portal. The country is sharing the projects and their results through the portal to help city planners elsewhere with their own smart cities work.
Jesse Berst is the founder and chief analyst of Smart Grid News.com, the industry's oldest and largest smart grid site. A frequent keynoter at industry events in the U.S. and abroad, he also serves on advisory committees for Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Institute for Electric Efficiency. He often provides strategic consulting to large corporations and venture-backed startups. He is a member of the advisory boards of GridGlo and Calico Energy Services.

Created: 08/01/2014 10:11 PM
By: Erica Zucco, KOB Eyewitness News 4
Often when internet applications become popular, predators find ways to misuse it for inappropriate purposes.
One of the most popular applications for preteens and teenagers, Kik, is meant to be an innocent way to privately chat with friends or followers from other social websites.
"What's very popular is using other social media like Facebook Instagram and Twitter, a person will say hey, this is my Kik username, someone 'Kik' me," Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office GHOST Unit Detective Kyle Hartsock.
But you can also add people you don't know, and deputies say predators search for and target young users who do it.
"As an investigator whenever I'm on these services posing as an underage minor, it doesn't take much effort at all for these men to send me very graphic and nude photographs without even asking for them," Hartsock said. "I don't even ask for them and they just get sent."
Hartsock says bottom line: know the danger, and protect your kids by being open.
"The best practice is talk to your kids, let them know hey you can trust me - cause they're probably going to try these things no matter what. What they need to know is hey, when something bad happens, someone's trying to threaten you – someone's trying to blackmail you for pictures - you need to come tell me the parent about it so we can handle it," Hartsock said.
Kik has been proactive in trying to prevent misuse of the app. When we told them about the story, they sent us this statement:
"I really appreciate you reaching out about this! We love it when parents are involved in helping their kids make good decisions about the apps they use! Safety is really important to us, and because of that, we've put a lot of focus into providing tools and features for parents and users. For starters, we've developed a Parent Guide to provide information about how parents can help their teens to have a great (and safe) experience on Kik. It's posted, along with lots of other helpful information, on our Help Center at help.kik.com. Parents can visit our Tips for Parents section on our Help Center at: https://kikinteractive.zendesk.com/forums/22210653-Tips-for-Parents-, where they'll find our parent guide as well as other useful information. We're always available to parents and users via our Help Center and via our support email.
Kik has implemented a lot of different features inside our app, to help users enjoy a safe and fun experience on Kik. We've described those features in our Parent Guide, and I've included an overview here as well.
In case you're not familiar with Kik, we're different from other smartphone instant messengers (which are based on a users' phone number), because Kik is based on usernames. By using usernames instead of phone numbers as the unique identifier on Kik, users' personal information like cell phone numbers and email addresses are never, ever shared on Kik.
On May 20th Kik announced a unique new set of features in the app that are industry-leading in terms of safety, that mean messages from new people are treated in a totally different way, giving users even more control over who they talk to.
Messages from new people are automatically moved into a separate section, and profile pictures and any picture or content messages will be blurred until the user chooses to look at them. Users have the option to reply, delete, block or report a new person right from the message."

The Carnaby's Black Cockatoo (also known as the Short-billed Black-Cockatoo) has white tail panels, white cheek patches and a short bill. It is found only in southwest Australia where large-scale clearing for farming has fragmented much of its habitat.
Weight: 540-760g (19.0-26.6 oz).
Length: 55-60cm (21.5-23.4 in).
Birds are mature at 4-7 years. One or two eggs are laid in wood-chip lined tree hollows in July to October. It takes 29 days for the eggs to hatch, during which the female stays with them, relying on the male to bring her food. Often only one chick will hatch, and the female stays with it for the next 10 days. After this, both parents bring back food for the chick until it is old enough to look after itself.

Ball delighted with performance
by Kate Smith
Coach pleased with City display.
Under 21 manager Kevin Ball was happy with his team's performance following their 4-1 victory over Stoke City.
Ball watched his side take a first half lead against the Potters before three goals in the second period sealed the victory for a squad bolstered by the addition of a number of senior players.
We got the win today and it was fully deserved.
- Kevin Ball
Following the game, Ball told safc.com: "We were the most experienced side, therefore you would have expected us to win, but what pleased me was the way we approached the game.
"We played well and there was some good football played and superb attitude shown by the players.
Ball continued: "We created lots of chances and maybe should have scored more.
"Looking at our recent run when on occasions things haven't gone our way, we got the win today and it was fully deserved."
Campbell and Ji both scored in the win, after a deflected Bramble shot and Adam Reed penalty set Sunderland on their way.
""It was good for the younger players to get a chance to play alongside the experienced players." Ball added.
"Reed showed great attitude when stepped up to take the penalty.
"He wasn't shy, even after missing a one against Newcastle a couple of weeks ago , fair play to him, he stepped up and put it away in emphatic style. "

Sinkhole at Ridgeview Elementary School (Ron Campbell/Johnson City Press)
A roughly 8-foot-by-12-foot sinkhole was discovered Monday in the back parking lot at Ridgeview Elementary School in Gray.
But unlike the massive sinkhole found last year in Erwin about 30 feet from the Love Chapel Elementary School building, the finding at Ridgeview is not considered to be dangerous and Washington County officials have notified engineers, who are expected to examine and recommend fixes.
Washington County Schools Maintenance Supervisor Phillip Patrick was informed Monday about the sinkhole and said Thursday the perimeter was immediately cordoned off and will remain so until the problem is remedied.
There appears to be a large corrugated water or sewer pipe running through the middle of the large opening.
"I got a call early Monday morning," he said Thursday afternoon. "We decided to contact Tony Street (of Beeson Lusk & Street Architects). He's going to contact an engineer. He'll do some soil boring to determine the various types of remediation possible. I can say it has not grown in size since I was first informed about it."
More than 100 children were inside Ridgeview's hallways Thursday practicing tornado drills. They are at the school for a summer program, and all were having a good time.
Principal Peggy Greene said from the school that no one is in danger.
"It's at the very end of the back parking lot, almost as far away from the school as you can get," she said.
Love Chapel Elementary School eventually was closed due to the proximity of the sinkhole to the school. The Unicoi County Board of Education unanimously voted in April to close the school after receiving the results of testing that deemed the property unsafe.
The sinkhole at Love Chapel was discovered in August by someone near the area. Crews dumped about 100 tons of rock in the sinkhole — which grew to around 25 feet in diameter and was located only feet from the school's playground and the school itself — in order to stabilize it before measurements were taken. These measurements indicated the hole was around 120 feet deep, with the last 25 feet being water.

Grey's Anatomy
Grey's Anatomy: Remembering Mark Sloan
Grey's Anatomy's Mark Sloan (Eric Dane) was more than just a ridiculously sculpted, incredibly attractive face. He was a ridiculously sculpted, incredibly attractive body. But he was also the co-founder of the dirty mistresses club, Derek's (Patrick Dempsey) best friend, Lexie's (Chyler Leigh) love, Jackson's (Jesse Williams) mentor, every patient's fantasy, Callie's (Sara Ramirez) best friend, and Sophia's father.
In memory of such a sculpted, attractive man, we wanted to round up our favorite Mark moments. When it comes to choosing his best moments, it's very difficult not to write a novel describing every second he was on screen. But somehow we've narrowed it down to ten:
His entrance: From hitting on Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) to stitching up his own face after being punched by Derek, Mark's introduction to Seattle Grace was, well, steamy.
The towel: Need we say more?
Sitting with Derek: After Meredith drowned, Derek was left to sit in the hallway by himself and contemplate life without his true love. It was in that moment that his best friend knew exactly what he needed: someone to keep him company.
He came back for Derek: Turns out, Mark's trip to Seattle wasn't about Addison (Kate Walsh) at all. And his confession of that very fact turned out to be one of our favorite Derek-Mark bromance moments of all time. As Mark put it: "I didn't come to Seattle for Addison. I didn't come to Seattle to be chief. I came to Seattle for you. Okay? I came to Seattle to get you back."
Fatherhood: First, there was Mark's heartbreak over his non-baby with Addison, then we had his happiness about being a grandfather when Sloan showed up, and of course, baby Sophia proved to be the apple of his eye. Mark's love of babies gave us more great moments than we can count.
Saving Alex (Justin Chambers): Not only was saving Alex's life during the hospital shooting heroic, but he did it all while his heart broke over Lexie's confession of love … for Alex.
Walk tall, Torres: Mark and Callie had our favorite friendship on the show. He was always there for her, and any day she was feeling down, he was there to give her a pep talk. Our favorite? "All you can do is be brave enough to get out there. You fought, you loved, you lost. Walk tall Torres…"
You could have a husband: When Mark confessed his love to Lexie, she claimed that she was happy with Alex, her boyfriend. But Mark had the perfect response: "All I'm saying is that you could have a husband." And a hot husband at that.
Final speech to Lexie: "I love you. I've always been in love with you. I will always be in love with you... which is why you have to stay alive. We're gonna get married. And you're gonna make an amazing surgeon. And we're gonna have two or three kids [...] We're gonna be happy, Lex, you and me. We're gonna have the best life, Lex, you and me. So you can't die, okay? Because we're supposed to end up together. We're meant to be."
The wedding video: After a sweet speech to Callie and Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) about their love, Mark confessed that his lifelong dance partner was Lexie Grey. Now, we like to imagine that they're dancing in heaven. Sigh.
What was your favorite Mark Sloan moment?

A retreat for couples.
Use the joys and difficulties of important relationships to awaken and mature the tender places of our hearts.
We choose relationships that can bring experiences of joy and intimacy, and, paradoxically, can elicit our anger, fear, and anxieties. This crucible of delight and fear provides an opportunity to awaken to conditioned patterns that block an open heart. We will explore practices that allow us to join with another in difficult and tender places, as well as how to cultivate happiness, compassion, and well-being in relationship.

RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Bayern Munich defender Daniel van Buyten has admitted Arsenal are a "very attractive club" amid rumors of interest from the Emirates Stadium outfit, Sky Sports reports.
Van Buyten has hinted an offer from the North London club would be a tempting proposition as he struggles for regular first-team football at the Allianz Arena this term.

RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
The highly-rated Belgian defender has been acquired on loan by Man City from Marseille for the remainder of the season.
Seeing that Marseille paid over �7.5 million from Belgian club Standard Liege, it's unlikely that City will be able to keep van Buyten after the season is over. But keep an eye on how he does in the Premiership to see if he is worth picking up in your fantasy league.

ohhh here we go with racism comments again. seems everything these two senators do is racist. last time i checked russia was a white country. iran is a different story, though. and attacking obama's outrageous policies makes them racist? only in america can blacks pull the race card every time they have a disagreement with someone who isn't their color. sounds like reverse racism to me.
freedom applies only until someone else doesn't like it.
justcruzin, you are absolutely right.
Fair enough, ban Confederate T-shirts and all from our schools, but if they're going to do that then they need to ban Mexican, Puerto Rican, etc... flags as well.
As a recent Navy vet I find this ridiculous. The Navy has more than enough DDG 51 arleigh-burke class destroyers. It is an outdated design. They should have the newer, more advanced ships. And the worst part, our own senator voted against the ship that is built right here in Alabama, by Alabama WORKERS. Layoffs coming in Mobile.
not trying to be racist here but has anyone noticed when you go to wal mart or the grocery store that 95% of people who park in handicapped spots are simply fat black women with no handicap at all? they all get right out of their car and walk right in like everybody else. looks like a trend here to me
And for those of you who think this woman is too disabled to get a job, think again. I don't know if he's still there or not but there used to be a black man in a wheelchair that worked at the little caesar's on lorna road in hoover holding up that sign and what not. I applaud him for being disabled and still getting a job and willing to work. I work with a guy who is deaf and also has major back problems to the point where he can barely get around but he refuses to quit because he doesn't want to live like that. Too bad the moochers of b'ham don't think like that...
excuse my foul language work is a cuss word in birmingham apartments/neighborhoods
Gimme my gubbment check! I need 75 G's to sappawt my baby daddy! That'll buy me alot of rock! And I'll never ha' ta work again!
2012 can't come soon enough. Last time I checked Obama's approval rating is 40 something percent? Even so he'll be re-elected anyway for the same reason he was elected in the first place - just because he is black. Not trying to be racist here I'd vote for another black president so long as he isn't the liberal, money spending socialist that Obama is. These clowns are going to have us all in trouble before you know it with national debt, health care, etc...
Yeah just wait the liberals will be doing everything they can to take the guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens. It's a tragedy that this kid had to die, but it should serve as a lesson to the other thugs out there. For every action there is a consequence, and this case it cost him his life. The kid's family will probably find some way to sue so they can get their free money out of the deal and live of someone else's dollar a while longer. This is a perfect example of what happens when kids aren't disciplined by their parents and well educated from early childhood. No values instilled in them at all, no respect for others or their property. My prayers are with the man who shot this kid because it will affect him for the rest of his life.
First of all I have BCBS through my employer and I don't think it could get any better (other than maybe my monthly premium cut from my paycheck going down a bit). That said, if this administration forces health insurance on people, it will only drive prices up, particularly in places where there aren't many health insurance companies available or accepted by local physicians. Much like the mandatory liability insurance for cars, these days the rates are much higher than they were comparatively (also inflation adjusted) before the law was passed. Making health insurance mandatory will raise prices first of all just because the insurance companies know you HAVE to have it. Second of all, for companies and government agencies alike that provide health insurance for their employees, when these rates rise, they are going to pass that cost on to the employees and the consumer. Much like the City of Hoover employees just saw a $100 a month hike in their premiums a couple of months ago. And for those companies who don't provide insurance, their costs will also be passed along to the consumers and employees in one form or another. This is a bad idea. I agree the health care system has gotten out of hand, but rather than taking money out of the pockets of consumers and tax payers, why not start at the root of the problem that made healthcare unaffordable in the first place: malpractice suits and outrageous pricing on certain medical treatments/procedures. Regulate the malpractice suits and insurance costs. Do something to drive prices down, not up like this will. The economy is fragile as it is, don't take any more money out of the pockets of consumers and tax payers. This is the "CHANGE" we can believe in. SOCIALISM. Coming to a Dr.'s office near you...
Rationed medical care for all... No matter what's wrong with you they'll give you motrin and send you back to work. Trust me that's how government run military clinics are. 9 times out of 10 me or my family never even saw a doctor, just a wannabe with 6 months of school/training.
Well people, this is the "CHANGE" you voted for. Slowly but surely these people are trying to take away our rights. Mandatory auto insurance... an understandable law due to the damage one person would cause to another and their property in an accident, however bad for the consumer because it lowers competition and raises prices. The mandatory health insurance would be a disaster, you think medical care and insurance is high now, just wait til these idiots pass this one. Once it is mandatory then these companies and hospitals/doctors will have a field day with jacking up prices. Just wait. 2012 can't come soon enough! Get these socialists out of office!
In a few spread-option plays like bama ran sat. night if you could get grant in space, he could be deadly. As for Star Jackson, he could make a great wildcat QB. I'm just utterly amazed at how many weapons bama has on offense now. In a sloppy game 5 players had 2 or more receptions and 6 players (including mcelroy) had positive rushing yards. Let those kinks get out of that offense and it will be downright nasty.
I like what I saw Saturday night on offense. Yes, it was shaky at first with the new O-line and McElroy getting settled in in their first game, but the play calling diversity with the addition of the spread option, the wildcat formation, the pass to Julio on 3rd and 1... Will make it very hard for opposing defenses to prepare. And to put up 498 yards against THAT defense, including the rushing yards with a new O-line... For the first time in a LONG time I'm actually excited about Alabama's offense. If that line and McElroy continue to develop and get better as the season goes on, there isn't any excuse not to win the SEC and possibly the BCS. This is the kind of offense that Saban has wanted: balanced. Alabama has threats all over the field now. And with that nasty defense, it could be ugly for opponents down the road.ROLL TIDE.
All the hype about 'Bama's offensive line is warranted, however, you also have to acknowledge that in practice, that offensive line is going up against one of the best defensive fronts in the country. They should be ready for VT's front, though they may not look great on the first couple of possessions. I have faith in CNS and staff that they are prepared for this. Remember last year the D-line was a question mark, and ended up being a strength. RTR 'Bama by 10. SEC runs the table this week.
Penn State is a great non conference game, so much history there between the two schools. I would love to see an Alabama vs. USC matchup in the regular season as well, or against someone like Oklahoma, Texas, or Ohio State. Yeah that increases the Tide's chance of losing a game each year that one of those teams are on the schedule but those are the kinds of BIG games that I would love to see Alabama playing in, and it would get even more attention from recruits. ROLL TIDE! UA 31 VT 13
It will be close. Alabama has been plagued for years about not playing the second half, losing games in the 4th quarter. Maybe now with some added depth this will change.

Risk Factors for Colorectal Cancer
Genetic Factors
- Hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC)—This is a fast-growing form of colorectal cancer. It accounts for about 5%-15% of all colorectal cancer cases. Typically, people with this form develop cancer in their 40s.
- Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP)—People with this type of colorectal cancer develop hundreds of polyps at a very young age, sometimes as early as their teens. Initially, polyps are benign but do become cancerous over time. This type of colorectal cancer is rare. It only occurs in 1% of all colon cancer cases. If you have these polyps, the likelihood that you will develop colon cancer is almost 100%. Many patients have most of their colon removed as a preventive measure.
Lifestyle Factors
- Diet—Diets high in fat, particularly fat from animal sources, and low in fiber have been associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer. Eating a diet that is high in fruits and vegetables may help lower the risk.
- Lack of exercise—Regular exercise has been shown to decrease the risk of developing colorectal cancer. Even moderate exercise of 30 minutes per day is beneficial.
- Obesity —Obesity increases the risk of colorectal cancer, particularly when weight is distributed in the waist, rather than on the hips and thighs.
- Smoking —Smokers are at increased risk of getting colorectal cancer and dying due to colorectal cancer than nonsmokers.
- Alcohol —Three or more alcoholic beverages a day increases risk of colorectal cancer. Drinking alcohol is also associated with a higher risk of forming large benign tumors called colorectal adenomas.
Medical Conditions
- Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease
- Polyps
- Previous colorectal cancer

Keepers spend a lot of time developing creative enrichment ideas. You can help us brainstorm on how to keep enrichment new and exciting by submitting your own novel enrichment design.
First, start with some extensive research on the animal you would like to design a toy for. Remember, enrichment is meant to encourage natural behaviors as well as promote mental and physical activity. We also strive to provide enrichment that carries a good educational message, so naturalistic items that blend well into our habitats would be ideal.
Your device must be:
- SAFE — it can NOT be swallowed, torn, ripped or broken (and then swallowed), can NOT trap or entangle the animal and can NOT cut, poke, scrape or injure the animal in any way!
- Non-toxic
- Sturdy, durable and indestructible
- Easily cleaned
- Produced economically
- Keeper friendly- easily constructed, not labor intensive
- Easily carried in and out of the exhibit
To submit your design, please complete this form. Please understand that all enrichment ideas must be approved by our Animal Care Staff, Behavioral Programs Coordinator and Veterinarian. Some ideas may be unsuitable for the animals and/or their exhibit. If your idea is accepted, you will be notified and receive a photograph of the animal with your enrichment device. This photo, with credit given to YOU, might even be displayed in the enrichment slideshow located on this website!

Written in blood yet sheds no red
As pen caresses my mighty seed
The shadows hurled the whispers of the dark
As pleasure slithers in the moon of light.
And then decoded in the movement of your lips
You realize all of a sudden this is no paragraph
But fragments of innumerable plights
Moistened with the desire
Of some men.

Mystery POS Acoustic Guitar
All I know is that this instrument belonged to my mom, and that it was bought a long time ago, and probably for very little money. The neck is fat and thick, bowed, with frets that are super thin. It is difficult to play, and the intonation goes to hell if you wander above the 5th fret. It was intended to be a 'classical' nylon string guitar but when I replaced the frozen tuners, I strang (stringed) it up with phosphor bronze strings instead.

CSM targets Q1/2012 profit at 45.4b dong
Mien Nam (Southern) Rubber Industry Joint Stock Co (STC-coded CSM) has recently reported its business performance for the first two months of this year with revenue of 430.47 billion dong and profit at 28.4 billion dong.
Basing on this result, CSM estimates its revenue in March at 250 billion dong and profit at 17 billion dong, lifting the total revenue in the first quarter of this year to 680.47 billion dong, or 84.27 percent of the year's plan and rising 3 percent year-on-year.
The company's Q1 profit is expected at 45.4 billion dong or 151 percent of the year's plan and 4.8 times higher than the same period last year.
Up to the present time, CSM has stockpiled sufficient raw materials for production growth in the first six months of 2012.
Reportedly, in 2011, the company reached only 2.924 trillion dong revenue and 39.26 billion dong after tax profit.
March 26 will be the ex-interest date to buy 10 million additional CSM shares priced at par (10,000 dong per share).
At the same time, the company will also close the list of shareholders to organise its AGM (annual general meeting) 2012.

I am storing the video in database as byte[]. Please let me know how do I use the byte[] to play the video??
Hi RAVINDRA,
The RadMediaPlayer is basically a wrapper around the Silverlight's MediaElement control. Therefore RadMediaPlayer supports the same media formats as SIlverlight's MediaElement does. You can find a full list of the supported media formats here.
In cases when you want to use a byte stream to set the RadMediaPlayer items, you can set the RadMediaPlayer.MediaElement source:
//buffer is the byte array
Stream stream = new MemoryStream(buffer);

Dear Tina,
I am sorry.
Is it true? Telerik MEdia Player CANNOT play stream.
I am using Silverlight MediaPlayer from Windows.Controls to play Back stream from "TExt to Speech".
And Now try to use Silverilght Telerik MEdiaPLayer. And I got MediaElement equals NULL.
Tell me, please , Is it no chance to use Telerik for stream not for file?
THank you advanced.

Hi Nina,
The RadMediaPlayer.MediaElement property is of type MediaElement and you should be able to use it as the MS MediaElement, which you've previously used. But in order to access the MediaElement you'll need to make sure that the RadMediaPlayer is fully initialized. For that purpose you can handle the MediaPlayer.Loaded event and get the MeidaElement in a Dispatcher like this:
sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() =>
var mediaElement = (sender
(mediaElement !=

Hi Tina,
I am also trying to play a media item from a byte[] stored in a database. I see that there is a known bug for some time around the mediaitem being null. I have tried to use your suggested work around but I find even on the loaded event for the radmediaplayer the mediaitem is still null.
My xaml declaration is:
<telerik1:RadMediaPlayer Canvas.Left="38" Canvas.Top="37" Height="79" Name="radMediaPlayer1" Width="287"
IsPlaylistVisible="False" FullScreenChanged="mediaPlayer_FullScreenChanged"
AutoPlay="False" CurrentStateChanged="radMediaPlayer1_CurrentStateChanged"
SelectedIndex="0" IsFullScreen="False" Background="Black" Loaded="radMediaPlayer1_Loaded">
My code behind is:
private void radMediaPlayer1_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() =>
var mediaElement = (sender as RadMediaPlayer).MediaElement;
if (mediaElement != null)
I have set break points on this method and can see that the mediaitem for the player is still null even though the Loaded event has fired.
Are there any other work arounds that I can try.

Hello Barry,
We aren't aware of any workarounds. However as I am not sure how you implement your scenario, it might be better to send us a sample project demonstrating your approach. This way we'll be able to look for workarounds in your particular case.

Hi Tina,
Can we assign multiple byte[] or Streams
byte[] outputBytes = new byte[arrayA.Length + arrayB.Length];
Buffer.BlockCopy(arrayA, 0, outputBytes, 0, arrayA.Length);
Buffer.BlockCopy(arrayB, 0, outputBytes, arrayA.Length, arrayB.Length);
Stream msOut = new MemoryStream(outputBytes);
I'll be reading multiple byte[], and concatenate those to player source,
the problem now is, it's just playing the first stream.
Help appreciated
[] outputBytes =
[arrayA.Length + arrayB.Length];
Buffer.BlockCopy(arrayA, 0, outputBytes, 0, arrayA.Length);

Hello Sridhar,
RadMediaPlayer is simply a wrapper around the MediaElement control and both controls can't handle this scenario. It might be better to implement the approach we suggested in your other thread or look for a tool that allows you to merge media files. If you use a tool that merges two video files together and you give the MediaElement a proper stream of a proper media file, only then it can play and read the extended length of the movie.
Otherwise eve though you provide an extended stream, its media-related data isn't changed. The stream doesn't really represent a new (proper and longer) media file and it cannot be displayed as such by MediaElement or RadMediPlayer.
Kind regards,

Hello Tina.
I wish to play video files stored on the user's local hard drive using a Silverlight OOB application and RadMediaPlayer.
I am able to play videos in the "My Videos" folder (selected using an OpenFileDialog and creating a filestream object), but not videos in other folders on the user's hard drive.
The logged-in user definitely has permission for the other folders since the videos were placed there by the user.
Can you explain why this is occurring?

Hello Greg,
This is very strange because if you're able to create the stream object there shouldn't be any difference for the media player. Could you please elaborate a little bit more on your scenario:
1) What error do you get ?
2) What is your exact dll version ?
3) Are you using the same video file for the tests ?
4) Have you tried to directly use the Microsoft MediaElement ?
I've attached my test project so that you could examine it and tell us what you're doing differently.

Thanks Zarko for your response.
I discovered that the problem was not the location of the video but rather the format - the player will not play MP4s. WMV plays fine from any location.
Will MP4 be supported?

Posted 22 Jul 2014

Hello Greg,
Our RadMediaPlayer uses the Silverlight's MediaElement to play videos/music and if you can play a video with it you should be able to play it with the RadMediaPlayer also. Here you can find a list of the supported formats - Mp4 containers with H.264 codecs are supported so you should check your video file's codec.
I hope I was able to help you.
p.s. For testing I downloaded a sample mp4/h264 video from here and it was working fine so you could try this too.

The other requirement is that anyone interested register and request access to our forums, which can be found [URL="http://www.bkbhq.com/forum/"]here[/URL]. There will be a short probationary period before vault access is granted.
We are mainly focused on the Enforcer/Tech/Lightbearer side of the wheel, but are possibly open to accepting others. This will be a casual clan looking to have fun and build friendships.

Changelog1.9 ~ December 13, 2013
- Removed built-in support for columns shortcode — instead, we have added integration for Justin Tadlock's Grid Columns plugin (http://wordpress.org/plugins/grid-columns/), which now provides the columns shortcode functionality.

There are step by step instructions in the documentation explaining how to create a Twitter application and add the details to your site. See page 12.
- Added .po and .mo files. Fixed up internationalization issues.
- Added comment forms to pages. You can switch this off on a page-by-page basis.

One area that has officials worried is the effect on education in places affected by the drought.
Jane Brittell, the principal at Lorena Falasco Elementary School in Los Banos, a town about 35 miles north of Mendota, says she's worried the drought will force families to leave and pull their kids out of school.
"We have an agricultural community, and even if the student's parents aren't involved in the agricultural field, the community is," Brittell says. "So when that starts to dry up and there's not the money generated for the businesses, employment starts to dwindle and parents have to move for better jobs."
The Los Banos Unified School District could lose up to 5 percent of its students, says Superintendent Steve Tietjen. For a district like Los Banos, with 10,000 students, that's about 500 kids. California distributes education funding based on attendance, so losing students means losing dollars — after years of cutbacks already.

Daily Caller: Draft lesbians, then turn them straight
- Are gay servicemen getting in the way of straight men having sex with lesbians? The Daily Caller actually published this. (Photo: Associated Press)
BREAKING from the Daily Caller: The United States military can be cured of homosexuality once and for all if it allows lesbians to serve but forbids gay men to do so, according to one elderly man who has extensive experience showering with dozens of other dudes.
In short: All the straight guys will turn all the gay ladies straight, with their penises, for America. Could this be the final solution to the cultural battle over Don't Ask Don't Tell, and not simply the worst thing ever published by the Daily Caller, today? HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
1. Way back in the long ago times, "It fell to men to swing through the trees and scour the caves in search of as many women as possible to subdue and impregnate," argues Joseph A. Rehyansky, a retired member of the United States Army who has previously warned Daily Caller readers of the danger of copper creeping into their gold stockpiles.
2. "Women," Rehyansky continues, "had to be more selective because, then as now, the principal consequences of copulation were theirs: pregnancy; childbirth; most of the responsibilities of childrearing whilst their baby-daddy hunter-gatherers were about hunting and gathering and finding other women to subdue."
3. The evolutionary tapestry woven by our ancestral rapists has resulted in a frightening sexual imbalance among modern day homosexuals. "Lesbians do not face the same pressures as straight women to 'put out' for men," Rehyansky argues, encouraging them to "develop long-term, monogamous, stable, and even permanent relationships."
4. But for gay men, who are not forced to rape women in order to find sex, life is one big slutty sexual conquest, "i.e., it's 'party time' all the time" claims Rehyansky, who once watched a documentary about this.
5. Therefore, "gays spread disease at a rate out of all proportion to their numbers in our population and should be excluded from the military."
6. Furthermore, hardly anyone is even gay, as the widespread claim that 10 percent of the population is homosexual is based on a study conducted during World War II, when Rehyansky insists that "most able-bodied American male heterosexuals were elsewhere, serving as part of The Greatest Generation, leaving a larger percentage of gays at home to keep one another contented."
7. Also, feminine slutty gay men just aren't good at being in the military like monogamous butch women are.
8. Being around other men's penises could turn gay guys on, violating the Constitutional rights of straight guys to not ever turn on gay guys: "If a Constitutional right to privacy that guarantees access to abortionists can be summoned from thin air, certainly the prohibition against involuntary servitude should prevent unwilling heterosexual men from providing beefcake parades without their informed consent, at least penumbrally."
AND THEN FINALLY: Once all the lesbians are easily accessible in one place, an army of straight dudes will turn them all straight, presumably through that time-tested tactic of subduing and impregnating women against their will: "my solution would get the distaff part of our homosexual population off our collective 'Broke Back,'" Rehyansky concludes, "thus giving straight male GIs a fair shot at converting lesbians and bringing them into the mainstream."
How has no one thought of this before, and then proceeded to published it on the Internet next to a photograph of themselves?
UPDATE: After briefly removing the story, the Daily Caller has, without explanation, republished Rehyansky's piece without his final thought. The original read: "my solution would get the distaff part of our homosexual population off our collective 'Broke Back,' thus giving straight male GIs a fair shot at converting lesbians and bringing them into the mainstream." He actually said this.

Kayaker recounts dramatic Eagle River rescue
The Anchorage Fire Department Engineer Corey Roberts finishes making a cut in a sweeper as Paramedic Craig Paulus holds onto the victim during a swiftwater rescue on Eagle River on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 16, 2012. They freed the paddler who was trapped in a kayak that was pinned under a fallen tree by the rain swollen glacial fed river.
BILL ROTH/Anchorage Daily News
Clutching to a paddle that he had somehow jammed into debris beneath the frigid, rushing water, pinned and unable to free himself from his submerged kayak, Steve Rossberg wondered if anyone could hear the distress calls from his police whistle. After 90 minutes in the icy water, body numb, he could feel his will to survive ebbing. Then, with his head barely above water, he thought he saw someone on shore making a cell phone call. "I've got to hang on," he thought. "I've got to hang on."
These were some of the thoughts racing through Rossberg's mind Sept. 16 after his kayak became lodged in a sweeper along the lower portion of Eagle River. He was experienced on Alaska's rivers and had good equipment. But as he struggled to remain conscious and keep his focus, he was haunted by a single thought: "I underestimated the river."
An avid outdoorsman, Rossberg was kayaking a three-mile stretch of Eagle River Sunday afternoon between the Hiland and Glenn Highway bridges. The river is tame in comparison to some of the other rivers he has run. He thought paddling the river alone would be no problem. He was wrong. This year's high water has brought considerable debris down the river which only weeks ago was responsible for the death of two female canoeists.
At about one quarter mile from his pull out point at the Eagle River Campground, he made a critical error by paddling underneath a tree that was arching over the water. His kayak became stuck under a large log and he ended up pinned.
"There are two critical decisions that were wrong," Rossberg says. "One was kayaking alone and two was going under that arched tree. It is good to have another person there to help with judging things — to bounce things off of. If I was with my paddle buddy, I probably would not have gone under that tree."
He tried a number of things to free himself, including cutting himself out of the kayak with a knife, but finally resigned himself to the fact that he was not going to be able to get loose.
"I reached a point where I realized I needed to focus on the task at hand," he says. "Conserve my energy, keep my head above water, breathe and blow my whistle."
Initially he could see his kayak — it was about two inches under water. As time ticked on, the water pressure pulled it down and he was soon submerged up to his neck. He was in the water for 90 minutes, bracing himself with his paddle and blowing his whistle and losing strength. Then he saw something on shore. "The image is burned in my head," Rossberg recalls. "I saw a guy in a blue coat and he was on a white phone making a call."
A wave of hope washed over him. Maybe help was on the way.
And it was. The caller reached 911 and the dispatcher quickly contacted Eagle River's Ladder 11, a branch of the Anchorage Fire Department. Responders immediately sprang into action, launched a boat from the campground and in minutes went upstream to the site. By the time they reached Rossberg, hypothermia had set in. They needed to get him out of the water within minutes. The rescue team had to take a chainsaw to the large tree to free him. By the time the responders pulled him out of the water it had been two hours since he had been pinned and his core body temperature had fallen to 90 degrees. He was quickly evacuated to an Anchorage hospital and has since made a full recovery.
Rossberg is a drilling manager for BP Alaska. Humbled by the experience, he recently held a town hall meeting at the company's Anchorage office to explain the incident to employees and to properly thank the rescue team. He expressed his deep gratitude to the men, more than a dozen in all, who responded and saved his life in perilous conditions.
Following a discussion of the incident by the Ladder 11 team, one of the rescuers, Corey Roberts, said to Rossberg: "I don't know if you knew at the time how close you were to dying, but I think you do now."
Rossberg's message to his co-workers was clear: "Learn from my mistakes.
"Don't underestimate the risk. Prepare for the worst. Ask yourself do you have the right equipment, are you mentally and physically capable of surviving the worst case scenario?"
Rossberg said the rescuers' high degree of training, their quick response, his training in the military, his remaining focused at the task at hand, having proper gear (he wore a dry suit with two layers underneath) having a bright green helmet and a two dollar whistle are what saved his life.
When asked if he will go kayaking again, he replied: "The doctor told me I've been sidelined for 10 days. When I do go back out, it won't be alone."

Congrats on the new machine. New toys are always so nice.
Though I'd share the excitement too :D I picked up my first MacBook Pro on craigslist yesterday too. Got a 2009 15" 2.8ghz for 700 with a year of applecare left, I am on cloud 9, this thing is amazing.
If you're like me; you probably won't be buying a Windows PC ever again.
Enjoy your new machine!
New Macbooker
Congratulations and welcome to the forum. I know you'll never go back to Windows now - not since you got that new toy. I made the switch-over about ten years ago and haven't looked back since. I got my first laptop with the G4 Power Book 12" 1.5 GHz, 80 GB HDD. In 2008 I moved up to a Black MacBook with the 2.4 GHz, 4 GB RAM and 500 GB HDD (I added that HDD a lot later. Te Original was a 250 GB HDD.) IN 2010 I GOT MY FIRST MacBook Pro, 1 15" 2.8 GHz Core i7, 4 GB DDR3 RAM, 500 GB HDD with the Hi-res, Matte screen. I Love it as I'm sure you love your new MacBook Pro. I don't know about you, but I haven't even thought about Windows since I made the switch. I hope you enjoy your new machine. Happy computing!!!

ELECTRICAL SAFETY in the HOME – TEACH YOUR KIDS
Is your home in good condition…how does electrical safety in the home rate at your house?
Did You Know?
Electricity related incidents in the home annually cause approximately:
- 300 electrocutions
- 12,000 shock and burn injuries
- 150,000 fires…from NSC, CPSC, AND OSH
There are two kinds of home fire safety risks:
- Risk of electrical shock
- Risk of electrical faults causing fire
Make your kids aware of the various areas of possible electrical problems in the home.
Here are some tips you can follow:
- Teach your kids to NEVER put fingers or objects into electrical outlets, toasters, or any other appliance EVEN IF IT'S TURNED OFF!
I neglected to do this and my son got shocked!
- Keep appliances and cords away from kids, bathtubs and sinks.
- Use plug covers on unused outlets.
- Because electricity can travel down the strings on kites and balloons, have kids play with them only in open areas away from electrical wires, because they can cause shock or fire.
- Teach children to recognize "Danger High Voltage" signs and stay away from power lines, sub-stations and pad-mounted transformers.
- Don't let kids climb trees near power lines.
To be sure that home builders have followed the best procedures with electrical installations, and that these are not later out of date, it would be a good idea to follow the practices of Asian countries. There they run periodic inspections and give mandatory certificates to home owners.
In the U.S., certification of new developments are not enough because aging homes, or those built before 1973, don't meet the current electrical demands of today's world.
It is highly recommended to update or repair the electrical wiring in these older homes.
A few of the modern improvements to the electrical systems of homes are to:
- Install contemporary circuit breakers that are made to automatically shut off when they detect a fire.
- Consider tamper resistant outlets to protect small children from getting shocked or worse, electrocuted.
- Indoor and outdoor wiring has specific building codes…make sure they are followed for maximum safety.
So by making some simple changes, and by teaching your kids about electrical safety in the home, you might be saving lives or in the very least, helping to prevent accidents and injuries.
Be sure to learn the dreaded secret that most parents don't know…

To read a list of all my articles in this blog, click: Here
There are many areas of our well being that can be made better by just making a small change here and there. I decided to reach out to people interested in improving their family's general health by offering some simple, helpful tips and intend to cover a wide variety of areas in children's health.
I hope you find the tips useful and as a result, help improve the health of your family and our planet. Being involved in the health and wellness field over the past 28 years, I work to make a positive impact on the lives of my clients and their families in the area of wellness. It is my goal to help make a difference for anyone who desires improved health.

I have no further advice to offer re cloning with WBFS, sorry.
Please remember your manners - say Thank You if someone helped , it doesn't hurt
hi, im just wondering if i can use this loader from the homebrew chanel i dont want to install it as a chanel in the main menu.
In English that means in the Apps folder you should have a folder named in a way you can identify it such as USB LoaderGCrevxxx or just Antony's USNLOaderGX if you like. Inside the named application folder should be the boot.dol file that HBC will run.
If you ever come across a homebrew app that is not named boot.dol example USBLoaderGX.dol, you just rename it as boot.dol. That's so HBC can see and display it for you. Some updates don;t come with the folders and renamed .dol files, Most of the time the people who make guides on this site take care of that for you.
I have the usb loader gx loaded and it shows up as a channel but when I click on it, it just resets to main menu again. I can load games through neogamma from hard drive but can't get usb loader gx to work. I did the install as described step 1 the loader wad, step 2 the cios rev 14 as network, but the 3rd step cios rev10 installer doesn't show any files on sd card under that folder. I can't do the 3rd step wich is I guess why it won't work. I am totally lost as to why it won't work.
Currently, the softmod guides on this site are using cIOS38rev17-try that or at least try cIOS38rev14. I think cIOS36rev10 is too old-that might be the problem. So, bottomline-either stick with the cIOS38rev14 installer or update to cIOS38rev17.
Waninkoko will be releasing a reportedly significantly revised and updated cIOS within a week-wait and see if it's stable and worthwhile. Don;t just install the latest-for today-go with either 14 or 17.
Here is what I am trying to do. The usb loader is showing in the channel and I can select it to load it but it just goes to a black screen and then resets to wii menu. I completed steps 1-6. I don't understand the 7th step. I can load games with neogamma but not with the usb loadger gx.
1. First thing to do is backup everything on your SD card to your computer, seeing as though this is the easiest way for installation.
2. Unzip the required files to the root of the SD card, then go put it in the SD slot of your wii.
3. Turn on your wii, and once it loads up, go to the homebrew channel.
4. While in the homebrew channel, click to load the Wad Manager 1.4
5. Once the application loads up, choose IOS249 then select SD card installation. Once you do that choose to install "USB Loader GX-UNEO_Forwarder.wad" Once the installation is complete you can then press HOME on the wiimote to restart your wii.
*By installing the previous wad file, you installed a forwarder channel for the USB Loader, that means when running the USB Loader you must have the SD card in the wii because it is running the application inadvertently from the homebrew channel*
6. Once you have the Forwarder channel installed, go back into the homebrew channel. Once you are there click on the cIOS38rev14 installer. Press A and choose the network installation and make sure all the files install correctly. When finished, press HOME to reboot.
7. After the wii resets, go back into the homebrew channel. Once you are there again choose to load cIOS36rev10 installer. Like before, press A and choose network installation. Make sure all files are installed correctly.
After that, your USB Loader should be working! Sometimes you will get one that is password protected though, if so just enter ab121b as the password and you will be fine.
very informative
