World's first on a camcorder!
The Optura is the world's first camcorder to incorporate a progressive scan CCD image sensor that delivers a significant improvement in performance and image quality. Each and every light gathering pixel on the CCD is used to reproduce a full frame video image 60 times per second. In contrast, the conventional interlace-type CCD reproduces only half a full frame, known as a field, in the same amount of time. During playback, the interlace method used on other camcorders combines two field images together, but a time lapse between the fields can cause a disturbing image flicker on the television screen when playback is paused. The Optura's progressive scan CCD eliminates the time lapse between fields by recording a full frame image, making it possible to output, display or even print the most exciting frame of a moving image without any loss in resolution.

I got a new carpet shampooer the other day. It was a bit different than my old one so I decided to read the directions.
Okay not all the directions, just enough to get me started. Anyway there was a warning in the document about not using the shampooer to clean up gasoline spills.
Is it just me or are the warnings that come with products getting a bit weird?
When we got a new stove we were warned not to store gas or flammable material in it. I would have never thought about storing gas in the oven. I'm also thinking that someone who would store their gasoline in their oven probable doesn't read the instruction books that come with the appliances either.
I went to get a child gate for the stairs leading to my basement. All the gates I looked at had a warning that said that the gates should not be used at the top of the stairs. I didn't need a gate for the bottom of the stairs so we put one up at the top anyway.
If you buy the cardboard heat deflectors to put in your car windshield in the summer, they come with a warning to tell you not to drive with them in place.
And of course we now have to have warnings on our coffee cups we get from fast food restaurants reminding us that coffee is hot.
What happened to common sense? Have we given up all of it to the legal system? No one should have to risk injury from using defective products or having the wrong expectation about what a product can do. I just feel it is sad that we have gotten so far out of whack that the list of warnings for products has to be so obvious.
I guess I will continue to be amused and a bit saddened as I read directions on new products I continue to buy.
And I will never store gasoline in my oven, no matter what.

|A helitac crew works to refuel a machine at the Carbon County Airport on Wednesday morning just before it left to reconnoiter the Mathis fire.
The Mathis fire continued to smoulder in spots on Wednesday. But the wildfire has burned out for the most part.
"This morning, all the outside crews are leaving," explained incident commander Hal Stevens. "Some of them are going home for a couple of days, others are being sent off to other fires."
Tuesday's rain in the Book Cliffs soaked the ground down about an inch and the moisture helped the situation, said Stevens.
However, the accompanying lightening created several problems.
"We actually had two more fires start up yesterday (Tuesday)," indicated Stevens. "One was by Desert Lake in Emery County. Some volunteers took care of that one. It burned about three acres. The other one started across the canyon from the Mathis fire. We could see it and we called in our helitac unit to dump some water on it. It looks to be out."
The incident commander said the rain received in the area is a mixed blessing because it can hide fires for up to a couple of days.
"What will happen is that it will smoulder in the brush for a few days and, then as things dry out, they will burst out in flame," stated Stevens. "We just have to keep our eyes open."
While the outside ground personnel will be gone, Stevens said the helitac crew would remain at the site through Wednesday.
Hot spots are still burning inside the confines of the Mathis fire lines, and officials are keeping a close watch on the situation.
"We don't think anything can get outside the containment area," pointed out Stevens. "But we will keep watching it."
Reports have been called in by residents since Tuesday indicating that people had seen more fire in the area, continued the incident commander.
The incident commander was going with the helitac unit on Wednesday to check out the reports.
As of Wednesday, the national fire center listed 61 major and large blazes burning in the United States.
Many firefighters involved in the Mathis incident have gone to southern Idaho and northeastern Nevada, where 12 blazes are burning.
Some of the wildfires in Idaho and Nevada are of considerable size.

There is a certain code, or there used to be used to be a certain code, amongst soldiers. (I am not sure it applies to our bearded frenemies in that East between the Far and the Near.) This story perfectly illustrates the point:
I was Artillery in the Army. In 1984 we went to Japan to exercise with the JGSDF in an exercise called Michinoku 84. We were there long enough to get a few weekends free. On one of our jaunts we went into the local city. For the life of me I can't remember it's name. I need to go back to my old journal and refresh my memory. Anyway, while there we did what all American tourists do I imagine. We hit a restaurant that looked like a little slice of home. A McDonalds. It was different. You ordered and then sat down and had the food delivered to the table. They served rice instead or french fries. There were at least a half dozen of us. Young, loud, hungry GIs, none of whom spoke a word of Japanese. After several minutes of pidgin English and wild gesticulations we were interrupted by an elderly Japanese gentleman. He got the gist of what we wanted and then shooed us off to a table. He placed our order and paid for the entire meal. It had to have cost him a bundle. Prices were high anyway and for beef they were outrageous. He came and sat with us, refusing all offers to pay him back. We talked as we ate and found out he'd been an Artillery officer in the Imperial Japanese Army during WWII. He'd seen combat.
Please do read it all. . .

Shopping for a canoe or kayak? Watch Rock/Creek paddling expert Sara Horne's boating intro!
"Getting into paddling can be pretty confusing. There are a zillion different boat options, and it can be pretty tough to decide what kind of canoe or kayak is best for what you'd like to do. Do you need a sea kayak, a recreational kayak or a touring kayak? Do you want to run creeks with multiple whitewater rapids, or load up your boat with a weekend's camping gear and paddle from island to island?"

Ex. Ord. No. 13588. Reducing Prescription Drug Shortages
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. Shortages of pharmaceutical drugs pose a serious and growing threat to public health. While a very small number of drugs in the United States experience a shortage in any given year, the number of prescription drug shortages in the United States nearly tripled between 2005 and 2010, and shortages are becoming more severe as well as more frequent. The affected medicines include cancer treatments, anesthesia drugs, and other drugs that are critical to the treatment and prevention of serious diseases and life-threatening conditions.
For example, over approximately the last 5 years, data indicates that the use of sterile injectable cancer treatments has increased by about 20 percent, without a corresponding increase in production capacity. While manufacturers are currently in the process of expanding capacity, it may be several years before production capacity has been significantly increased. Interruptions in the supplies of these drugs endanger patient safety and burden doctors, hospitals, pharmacists, and patients. They also increase health care costs, particularly because some participants in the market may use shortages as opportunities to hoard scarce drugs or charge exorbitant prices.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the Department of Health and Human Services has been working diligently to address this problem through its existing regulatory framework. While the root problems and many of their solutions are outside of the FDA's control, the agency has worked cooperatively with manufacturers to prevent or mitigate shortages by expediting review of certain regulatory submissions and adopting a flexible approach to drug manufacturing and importation regulations where appropriate. As a result, the FDA prevented 137 drug shortages in 2010 and 2011. Despite these successes, however, the problem of drug shortages has continued to grow.
Many different factors contribute to drug shortages, and solving this critical public health problem will require a multifaceted approach. An important factor in many of the recent shortages appears to be an increase in demand that exceeds current manufacturing capacity. While manufacturers are in the process of expanding capacity, one important step is ensuring that the FDA and the public receive adequate advance notice of shortages whenever possible. The FDA cannot begin to work with manufacturers or use the other tools at its disposal until it knows there is a potential problem. Similarly, early disclosure of a shortage can help hospitals, doctors, and patients make alternative arrangements before a shortage becomes a crisis. However, drug manufacturers have not consistently provided the FDA with adequate notice of potential shortages.
As part of my Administration's broader effort to work with manufacturers, health care providers, and other stakeholders to prevent drug shortages, this order directs the FDA to take steps that will help to prevent and reduce current and future disruptions in the supply of lifesaving medicines.
Sec. 2. Broader Reporting of Manufacturing Discontinuances. To the extent permitted by law, the FDA shall use all appropriate administrative tools, including its authority to interpret and administer the reporting requirements in 21 U.S.C. 356c, to require drug manufacturers to provide adequate advance notice of manufacturing discontinuances that could lead to shortages of drugs that are life-supporting or life-sustaining, or that prevent debilitating disease.
Sec. 3. Expedited Regulatory Review. To the extent practicable, and consistent with its statutory responsibility to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the drug supply, the FDA shall take steps to expand its current efforts to expedite its regulatory reviews, including reviews of new drug suppliers, manufacturing sites, and manufacturing changes, whenever it determines that expedited review would help to avoid or mitigate existing or potential drug shortages. In prioritizing and allocating its limited resources, the FDA should consider both the severity of the shortage and the importance of the affected drug to public health.
Sec. 4. Review of Certain Behaviors by Market Participants. The FDA shall communicate to the Department of Justice (DOJ) any findings that shortages have led market participants to stockpile the affected drugs or sell them at exorbitant prices. The DOJ shall then determine whether these activities are consistent with applicable law. Based on its determination, DOJ, in coordination with other State and Federal regulatory agencies as appropriate, should undertake whatever enforcement actions, if any, it deems appropriate.
Sec. 5. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) authority granted by law to an agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.Barack Obama.

Thousands of Kurds from all over Europe are expected in Paris today for what is expected to be an angry protest over the killing of three female activists shot dead at least three times in the head, giving further credence to the theory of an execution-style hit.

2012 Buick Verano Test Drive
Price: $8.99 per can
Silicone-based tire-shine products give that polished look many people like, but the shine often doesn't last, and the products have an unfortunate tendency to rub off on your hands and clothing. Dupli-Color's Tire Shine Coating is a non-silicone formula that bonds to the tire surface, forming a glossy finish that can last three months or longer. Good news for your hands and clothes, and a pretty sweet value.
Price: Four for $24.95
The common wisdom says that drivers should check their tire pressure once a month, but how many of us are that diligent in practice? Yeah, we didn't think so. And it's a shame, since low-pressure tires can be hazardous to your safety and cost you extra gas money. Right PSI provides a simple solution to this with a small gauge that replaces the cap on your tire valve. As you drive, a pressure-sensitive piece within the gauge will show one of three colors to let you know whether your tire-pressure level is lacking, just right, or excessive.

On Thursday evening, the Levelland Lobos took advantage of seven walks leading to 10 runs in the sixth inning, on their way to defeating the Borger Bulldogs 16-5 in game one of the 3A Bi-District Playoff best-of-three series.
Control issues plagued the Bulldog pitchers all evening as three pitchers combined to give up 12 walks and hit three batters through six innings of work.
Despite control issues and four errors, the Bulldogs were in position to get a late inning win by only trailing by one run, 5-6, after the fifth inning.
The first two Bulldog errors results in Curt Stafford scoring to give the Lobos a 0-1 in the top of the first inning.
In the bottom of the first inning, the Bulldogs answered back with Grant Boren hitting a lead off single and being brought in on a RBI hit by Clay Ellis.
Ellis had the hot bat for the Bulldogs on Thursday, going 2-3 with a double and two RBIs.
The Lobos scored at least one run in every inning which included converting two sacrifice flies, a RBI double by Chris Muniz, and a Borger error into runs to take a 1-5 lead halfway through the fifth inning.
Muniz got the start on the mound for the Lobos where he limited the Bulldogs to one run and two hits through the first four innings.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, the Bulldogs led off with a single by Kota Dillard and Hunter Grey reaching base on a throwing error. Two batters later Colton Hunter connected for an infield single to load the bases with one out.
At the next at bat, Lusk put the ball in play for what appeared to the second out of the inning. But another Lobos' error allowed two Bulldog runs to score and make it a 3-6 game. Before the Bulldogs were done at the plate, Ellis would bring in Hunter on a RBI double followed by Lusk scoring on a passed ball at home plate to make it a 5-6 score.
Unfortunately, the momentum for a late rally for the Bulldogs was taken away as four singles and seven walks led to the Lobos racking up 10 runs in the top of the sixth inning and forcing the 10-run rule after six innings of play.
Chayse Tracy got the loss for the Bulldog,s where he went 5 1/3 innings giving up 9 hits 8 walks, nine earned runs, while striking out two batters.
The series will continue on Friday evening in Levelland with game two getting underway at 5:00 p.m. followed by game three if necessary.

Eugene@150: Creamery still grateful 40 years after 'Dead concert
EUGENE, Ore. - A struggling dairy teamed up with The Grateful Dead on a hot summer day to make one of the most memorable events in Eugene history.
This final "Eugene at 150" story actually stretches from Eugene to encompass Springfield and Veneta as well.
A struggling natural food business decided to hold a concert to raise money. After booking one of the most popular bands of the time over 20,000 people bought tickets.
On August 27th, 1972 The Grateful Dead pack them in at a concert in the same Veneta field that is now home to the Oregon Country Fair. General Manager for the fair Charles Ruff is still amazed by how well the event played out.
"Pretty amazing what folks went through to pull off an event like that out here with far less infrastructure and facilities than we have today," said Ruff, while walking through the Oregon Country Fairgrounds.
40 years ago, the Springfield Creamery company was almost broke when owner Chuck Kesey and his brother (and Author) Ken, hatched a plan.
"Gee--maybe we could ask the Grateful Dead if they'd do a concert up here," explained Sue Kesey, Chuck's business partner and wife.
It took little coercion to get the band on board. Rare film from the Dead show survives today in a movie never released, called "Sunshine Daydream." (Highlights of the film are shown in the television
version of this story.)
Organizers had a creative approach to working within Springfield Creamery's low budget. Tickets to the concert were printed on Nancy's Yogurt labels. Hand-drawn posters advertised the gig.
Around 20,000 Dead-heads packed the field despite 107 degree heat. As for the music?
"Nobody knew that this was going to become a 'maker' of a concert, which it actually is." Sue Kesey commented.
The scene in Veneta was a little bit different 40 years ago. Charles Ruff said that Highway 126 did not exist when the concert was held, and the stage was in what's now parking space for the Country Fair.
Ruff said that to this day it's still called the Dead field.
"The Fair moved here earlier that same year ... so I think that was where the brainchild came from," said Ruff.
Springfield Creamery said that it pulled quite a profit from the show. Chuck said that they took at least $10,000, helping to cement the Creamery's place in the growing West Coast natural foods movement.
The creamery is still cranking out all that Nancy's Yogurt today from its Eugene plant on Airport Road. Chuck Kesey said it is still a miracle that the '72 concert was such a success.
"We didn't know how. We were really dumb at it -- but we did it." Kesey said.
This year Springfield Creamery celebrates 52 years in business. Springfield Creamery still makes 8,000 to 10,000 pounds of yogurt at the Eugene plant, 5 days a week.

- How is UCC Different
A Unique Alternative Health Care Solution
Upper Cervical doctors focus their efforts on locating and removing misalignments of the first two bones in your neck that may be the cause of your health condition.
Upper Cervical Care Quick Facts
- An upper cervical correction is gentle.
- There is no forceful pulling, twisting or jerking motion of your neck.
- The correction is applied using a precise and controlled touch that allows the head, neck, and spine to return to their proper positions
- Common Conditions
Common Conditions
As upper cervical doctors, do we treat diabetes, migraines, fibromyalgia, etc.? No. Legally, we can't even say we treat conditions. Upper cervical doctors treat the body. We correct the cause of the problem. We don't treat the problem. That's the problem with the health care system today, so much time is spent chasing symptoms, chasing diseases, when all healing resides within you. And if we can just remove the interference in that healing process, then the body will heal on its own. That's what upper cervical is all about.
- How Much Does UCC Cost?
How Much Does UCC Cost?
A fraction of what you have probably already spent on traditional health care. There is an initial expense at the beginning of care due to the X-rays that are so vital and necessary to determine the extent of your upper cervical misalignment. Our offices offer affordable payment options that will fit every budget. They will check on your insurance coverage prior to care. NOTE: Not all UCHC offices accept insurance. Please check with the office closest to you.

About this blog
Out for Good
The view from under South Hill, as interpreted by Luca
Wednesday, August 22, 2012
As the new academic year approaches, I, like many of our incoming class of 2016, have been reading the First Year Reading Initiative selection Ten Thousand Saints by IC faculty member Eleanor Henderson. Many themes and threads run through the book. Music, drugs, sex, spirituality, friendship, family, connection - are but a few. Students interested in LGBT themes, or in public health or history, or those intrigued by tattoos, will likely be drawn in to the story and its characters, too. So much ground is covered (literally and figuratively, for some of the characters), that even fans of the Mets or of singer Bob Seeger will find brief mentions of these within the layered design of the storyline. And those keenly attuned to aspects of equality and respect may briefly become concerned when a character uses an anti-gay invective within the first chapter. But readers who continue will find that this and other details serve to paint the picture of a particular time and place, one far removed from today's awareness of bullying and name-calling, one in which it is likely this type of language was much more common.
Finding one's way is an idea that comes up frequently for students here at IC. In this book, that's what many if not all of the characters are doing on various levels, too. Navigating relationships, ideas, passions. Grappling for understanding, forgiving, finding compassion. Wrestling with ways life, people, and relationships can be messy and complicated. And responding to the unexpected, both the good and the bad, in people, institutions, and society.
Just before the close of last semester, I had a conversation with a student about to embark upon a journey of sorts. It wasn't a journey about any of the specific themes of this book, in fact it was about something not really in the book at all. At the heart of this particular student's musings, though, was the theme of finding one's way. How do we find connection and community in a world from which we may at times feel profoundly disconnected? What does it mean when we may share particular beliefs or identities, but differ on what these mean? How does one reconcile deeply holding ideas within oneself that are seemingly at odds? We ended our talk that day this way, not unlike what some may take away from their reading of this book: I am on my path, you are on your path. We are all finding our way.

The OtherSide Players will present Arthur Miller's drama "The Price" at Helper's Rio Theatre beginning March 3.
Miller was recognized as America's foremost post-war playwright and one of the best of the 20th century. "The Price," the first Miller play to be produced on the Rio stage, is Artistic Director Morgan Lund's tribute to Miller, who died in 2005. Lund had the opportunity to work with Miller in 1984, while Lund was in the professional resident company at the Cleveland Play House in Northeastern Ohio.
In his fourth year as young professional actor, Lund was lucky enough to get the leading role of Adrian in Miller's world premiere play "The Archbishop's Ceiling." The Cleveland Play House was chosen as the venue to produce and develop Miller's script into a full-blown theatrical production.
Creating a new work brings together the actors, the director and the playwright, along with other collaborative artists in the creative process. Having the playwright be one of the most influential voices of the American stage magnifies this effort.
Lund reminisces, "What I learned during this wonderful experience was that this established legend of the American stage was more interest in what I and the other artists cold bring to his play. He gave each of us the feeling that we really were important contributors and collaborators to this creative process."
He added, "Miller was a gentleman, and a generous and giving artist. And, okay, I did ask him about his marriage to Marilyn Monroe and some other stupid stuff. He just said he didn't kiss and tell."
Though one of Miller's finest dramas - in the tradition of "The Crucible" and "Death of a Salesman" - "The Price" is also richly amusing and revealing. Sixteen years of unacknowledged anger and resentment between two brothers, as well as resentment against their selfish and financially ruined father, is unleashed on the stage. These two estranged siblings meet in the attic of the old family residence, where the furniture is to be disposed of.
The first brother, a policeman played by Lund, sacrificed his education and career to care for his invalid father. The other, an eminent surgeon played by Corey Ewan of the USU/CEU theatre department, left the demands of family to his brother while he pursued a successful medical career.
The first act of the play is a scene between the officer and a crotchety, humorous and wise old dealer, played by Ron Frederickson of the University of Utah theatre faculty. The dealer has come to buy the furniture but refuses to set a price without prolonged philosophic conversation. When the surgeon arrives, the brothers take a little time for amenities and feeling each other out before the basis of the long alienation and mutual bitterness emerges in short, blunt, enraged accusations.
Through Miller's dialog, the strengths and weaknesses of the characters emerge.
Paula Duesing from Cleveland, Ohio, joins the cast as Esther, the policeman's wife. Duesing also spent many years in the resident company at the Cleveland Play House and has always enjoed working with Lund on classic dramas. Justin Ivie, from Salt Lake City, is directing the show. He was last seen in "Greater Tuna" at the Rio and says he is glad to be back in Helper.
Grady McEvoy, chair of the USU/CEU Geary Theatre, designed the set and lights.
"The Price" will run from March 3 to 6 and 10 to 13. Curtain time Thursday through Saturday is 7:30 p.m. The Sunday performances will be matinees at 2 p.m.

LUKE AIR FORCE BASE, Ariz. — Airmen who attend a Defense Department or Tri-Service technical school can earn their Community College of the Air Force degree sooner than once thought.
There are a few ways to check the residency box off the list of degree requirements, according to Tech. Sgt. Russell Wroten, CCAF service degree programs flight chief.
This means public affairs, postal and equal opportunity Airmen can be awarded a CCAF degree before Air-man Leadership School.
The first way to fulfill the residency requirement is to convert proficiency credit into internship credit.
"In 2006, the CCAF policy council approved a policy to award six semester hours of internship credit in lieu of six semester hours of earned proficiency credit," Wroten said. "However, all other requirements must be met in order to do this."
Another option is to complete courses through the Air Force Culture and Language Center.
"Three courses are available via dis-tance learning which can be applied toward the CCAF's residency require-ment," Wroten said. "Enrollment information for these courses can be found at http://www.culture.af.mil/culture_introcultureclass.aspx."
Since details on degree progression can be complex in some situations, Wroten said he encourages students to work with their local education office for guidance.
"Each student's education record is unique, so the solutions vary," he said. "A local counselor can help determine which route is best for each student."
Don House, CCAF academic affairs associate dean, said he strongly encourages Airmen to aggressively pursue their educational goals.
"Although the CCAF degree is primarily designed for the career Airman, every effort is made to afford young, enthusiastic Airmen the opportunity to complete the degree requirements during their first enlistment," he said.
"Having a CCAF degree can enhance an Airman's value to the Air Force and the nation."Wroten agrees.
"Earning a CCAF degree early in one's career can benefit an Airman with enhanced technical and leadership skills, stronger performance reports, better opportunities in applying for special duty assignments, recognition through the awards programs, and a head start on a bachelor's program," he said.
There are many great programs offered through the education office, like the Air University associate-to-baccalaureate cooperative program, Wroten said.
"Through the AU-ABC, more than 1,000 enlisted members have earned bachelor's degrees," he said. "Of those graduates, 15 went on to receive a commission as an officer."

CANTON A spike in the regions pollen count is leaving allergy sufferers and others with stuffed-up noses, scratchy eyes and bouts of sneezing.
The blooming trees, grass and flowers may look pretty, but theyre causing a lot of discomfort for many north country residents, said Dr. Gregory J. Healey, who operates a family practice in Canton.
People with allergies are seeing severe symptoms this year. They say its the worst theyve ever had, Dr. Healey said Thursday. Im also seeing people who have allergy symptoms even though theyve never had allergies before.
Rain may bring some relief, but likely wont resolve the problem for many, he said.
For severe cases, Dr. Healey said, hes prescribed steroids to help relieve symptoms.
Paul J. Hetzler, a horticulturist and natural resource educator at Cornell Cooperative Extension, said consecutive days of warm weather this month resulted in various species of trees blooming at the same time rather than in different stages like a typical year.
Earlier this week, the regions pollen count was 10 to 12 grains per cubic meter, which he described as quite high.
Ordinarily, willow and poplar trees bloom first, followed by red and silver maple trees, but this year they all bloomed at the same time, which sent large amounts of pollen into the air.
The pollen all burst at the same time. Usually we dont have this type of overlap, Mr. Hetzler said. The hot weather has brought everything out flowering at once.
Pollen is the powdery substance produced by flowering plants that contains male reproductive cells. Its carried by the wind and insects to other plants, which it fertilizes.
Dr. Healey said closing windows in the evenings can help allergy sufferers, but mostly it will take time for the pollen counts to go down.
Its mostly a waiting game. Just sneeze and bear it, he said.

What is Academic Advising?
Academic Advising is a process of information exchange that empowers students to realize their maximum educational potential. The goal of academic advising is that students will gain a clearer understanding of themselves and the experience of higher education. The ultimate responsibility for making decisions about life goals and educational plans rests with the individual student. Academic advisors assist in this process by helping to identify and access alternatives and the potential consequences of decisions.
When do I Need to Have Academic Advising?
All students are encouraged to meet with academic advisors throughout their academic careers. Some students will be required to meet with academic advisors at various times. If academic advising is required prior to registration, a registration hold will prevent the student from registering until the hold has been removed. Students who have registration holds for advising are notified through their PAWS account. The following groups of students will have mandatory academic advising:
- New freshmen are required to meet with an academic advisor for a Mandatory Freshmen Conference during their first semester of their first year.
- All students on academic probation (cumulative GPA below 2.00) must meet with an advisor to monitor their progress and complete a probation contract for the semester.
What are my Responsibilities as an Advisee?
As an advisee you should:
- Accept responsibility for your academic plans and decisions.
- Schedule regular advising appointments.
- Arrive at advising appointments ready to share information about progress and/or obstacles.
- Take steps to clarify your values, interest, and goals.
- Make yourself aware of pertinent policies, procedures and requirements.
- Develop positive relationships with faculty, staff and fellow students.
- Read and respond appropriately to all university correspondence sent to you via U.S. mail or e-mail.
- Take advantage of all resources that will improve and enhance your educational experience.
What are the Responsibilities of my Advisor?
Your advisor should:
- Provide accurate information about policies, procedures and requirements.
- Appreciate and respect your uniqueness.
- Assist you in understanding the purpose and potential of higher education.
- Assist you in developing academic/career plans consistent with your goals, interests, and abilities.
- Refer you to additional resources when necessary or appropriate.
What are the Expected Outcomes of Academic Advising?
- Students will know how and where to access accurate information about policies, procedures and requirements.
- Students will be able to identify fields of study that are consistent with their goals, interests and abilities.
- Students will learn to select curricular and extra-curricular activities that enhance their educational experience.
- Students will know what support services are available and will use them when appropriate.
- Students will develop meaningful positive relationships with faculty, advisors, other staff, and fellow students.

This morning I got word that Mars, Incorporated, the makers of M&M's candies, inked a deal with the fashion jewelry manufacturer Monet International, Inc. to design and produce M&M's character rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and other keepsakes. For M&M's fans, here's a sneak peek at what will be in Macy's department stores starting late this September and on Monet.com starting on October 15, 2010. So cute!
The price points on the jewelry range from $15 to $45. A higher-end sterling silver line will also be available and that will start at $35 per piece. According to the Mars Retail Group, other retailers will be able to purchase the M&M's jewelry wholesale beginning New Year's Day 2011.
My first thought when I saw these necklaces was what great gifts or party favors to build an M&M's theme around. For clever ideas on how to incorporate M&M's in cakes, cupcakes, cookies, snack mixes, etc., check out BrightIdeas.com. Here are a few cakes/cupcakes I earmarked from the site. (Click on each photo for instructions on how to make them.)
Have you ever created a theme party around a candy? If so, please share!

Video: Nor'easter Hits Sandy-torn Coast
NEW YORK (AP) - One man who lives along the New Jersey coast says he just had power restored a couple of days ago following the outage caused by Hurricane Sandy -- and how, he's lost it again.
A new storm that struck the Northeast yesterday has caused hundreds of thousands of additional outages. It left a blanket of thick, wet snow on trees that were already weakened by the hurricane.
But a lot of people who were hard-hit by Sandy are grateful that the new storm didn't bring a fresh round of devastation. One Staten Island resident says his home "came through the storm just great" -- considering that it didn't have any power.
The storm covered the piles of debris from Sandy with several inches of snow. But it's now started to melt, filling the streets with filthy sludge.

Table 12.14 Cast Functions
BINARY operator casts the
string following it to a binary string. This is an easy way to
force a column comparison to be done byte by byte rather than
character by character. This causes the comparison to be case
sensitive even if the column is not defined as
BINARY or
BINARY also causes trailing
spaces to be significant.
SELECT 'a' = 'A';-> 1 mysql>
SELECT BINARY 'a' = 'A';-> 0 mysql>
SELECT 'a' = 'a ';-> 1 mysql>
SELECT BINARY 'a' = 'a ';-> 0
In a comparison,
BINARY affects
the entire operation; it can be given before either operand
with the same result.
is shorthand for
str AS
Note that in some contexts, if you cast an indexed column to
BINARY, MySQL is not able to use the index
CAST() function takes an
expression of any type and produces a result value of a
specified type, similar to
CONVERT(). See the description
CONVERT() for more
CONVERT() and
CAST() functions take an
expression of any type and produce a result value of a
specified type.
CAST() and
CONVERT(... USING ...) are
standard SQL syntax. The non-
USING form of
CONVERT() is ODBC syntax.
CONVERT() with
USING converts data between different
character sets. In MySQL, transcoding names are the same as
the corresponding character set names. For example, this
statement converts the string
'abc' in the
default character set to the corresponding string in the
utf8 character set:
SELECT CONVERT('abc' USING utf8);
type for the result can be one
of the following values:
BINARY produces a string with
BINARY data type. See
Section 11.4.2, "The BINARY and VARBINARY Types" for a description of how
this affects comparisons. If the optional length
N is given,
BINARY( causes
the cast to use no more than
bytes of the argument. Values shorter than
N bytes are padded with
0x00 bytes to a length of
causes the cast to use no more than
N characters of the argument.
Normally, you cannot compare a
value or other binary string in case-insensitive fashion because
binary strings have no character set, and thus no concept of
lettercase. To perform a case-insensitive comparison, use the
CONVERT() function to convert the
value to a nonbinary string. Comparisons of the result use the
string collation. For example, if the character set of the result
has a case-insensitive collation, a
LIKE operation is not case sensitive:
blob_colUSING latin1) FROM
To use a different character set, substitute its name for
latin1 in the preceding statement. To specify a
particular collation for the converted string, use a
COLLATE clause following the
CONVERT() call, as described in
Section 10.1.9.2, "CONVERT() and CAST()". For example, to use
blob_colUSING latin1) COLLATE latin1_german1_ci FROM
CONVERT() can be used more
generally for comparing strings that are represented in different
character sets.
LOWER() (and
UPPER()) are ineffective when
applied to binary strings (
BLOB). To perform lettercase
conversion, convert the string to a nonbinary string:
SET @str = BINARY 'New York';mysql>
SELECT LOWER(@str), LOWER(CONVERT(@str USING latin1));+-------------+-----------------------------------+ | LOWER(@str) | LOWER(CONVERT(@str USING latin1)) | +-------------+-----------------------------------+ | New York | new york | +-------------+-----------------------------------+
The cast functions are useful when you want to create a column
with a specific type in a
SELECT statement:
CREATE TABLE new_table SELECT CAST('2000-01-01' AS DATE);
The functions also can be useful for sorting
ENUM columns in lexical order.
Normally, sorting of
ENUM columns
occurs using the internal numeric values. Casting the values to
CHAR results in a lexical sort:
tbl_nameORDER BY CAST(
enum_colAS CHAR);
CAST( is the same thing as
str AS
CAST( treats the expression as a string with the default
character set.
expr AS
CAST() also changes the result if
you use it as part of a more complex expression such as
CONCAT('Date: ',CAST(NOW() AS
You should not use
CAST() to
extract data in different formats but instead use string functions
LEFT() or
EXTRACT(). See
Section 12.7, "Date and Time Functions".
To cast a string to a numeric value in numeric context, you normally do not have to do anything other than to use the string value as though it were a number:
-> 2
If you use a string in an arithmetic operation, it is converted to a floating-point number during expression evaluation.
If you use a number in string context, the number automatically is converted to a string:
SELECT CONCAT('hello you ',2);
-> 'hello you 2'
For information about implicit conversion of numbers to strings, see Section 12.2, "Type Conversion in Expression Evaluation".
When using an explicit
CAST() on a
TIMESTAMP value in a statement that
does not select from any tables, the value is treated by MySQL
5.5 as a string prior to performing any conversion.
This results in the value being truncated when casting to a
numeric type, as shown here:
SELECT CAST(TIMESTAMP '2014-09-08 18:07:54' AS SIGNED);+-------------------------------------------------+ | CAST(TIMESTAMP '2014-09-08 18:07:54' AS SIGNED) | +-------------------------------------------------+ | 2014 | +-------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec) mysql>
SHOW WARNINGS;+---------+------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | Level | Code | Message | +---------+------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | Warning | 1292 | Truncated incorrect INTEGER value: '2014-09-08 18:07:54' | +---------+------+----------------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
This does not apply when selecting rows from a table, as shown here:
USE test;Database changed mysql>
CREATE TABLE c_test (col TIMESTAMP);Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.07 sec) mysql>
INSERT INTO c_test VALUES ('2014-09-08 18:07:54');Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec) mysql>
SELECT col, CAST(col AS UNSIGNED) AS c_col FROM c_test;+---------------------+----------------+ | col | c_col | +---------------------+----------------+ | 2014-09-08 18:07:54 | 20140908180754 | +---------------------+----------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
This is a known issue which is resolved in MySQL 5.6.
MySQL supports arithmetic with both signed and unsigned 64-bit
values. If you are using numeric operators (such as
+ or
-) and one of the
operands is an unsigned integer, the result is unsigned by default
(see Section 12.6.1, "Arithmetic Operators"). You can override
this by using the
SIGNED or
UNSIGNED cast operator to cast a value to a
signed or unsigned 64-bit integer, respectively.
SELECT CAST(1-2 AS UNSIGNED)-> 18446744073709551615 mysql>
If either operand is a floating-point value, the result is a
floating-point value and is not affected by the preceding rule.
(In this context,
DECIMAL column
values are regarded as floating-point values.)
-> -1.0
The SQL mode affects the result of conversion operations. Examples:
If you convert a "zero" date string to a date,
CONVERT() and
CAST() return
NULL and produce a warning when the
NO_ZERO_DATE SQL mode is
For integer subtraction, if the
mode is enabled, the subtraction result is signed even if any
operand is unsigned.
For more information, see Section 5.1.7, "Server SQL Modes".

Be careful that this 'feature' of MySQL dosn't bit you in the ass.
For example, imagine I have a table with two 'unsigned' integer columns (still with me?). Lets call those columns 'one' and 'two'. Now imagine the following query...
# Query to select the 10 biggest differences between two colums
SELECT one - two AS diff
ORDER BY one - two
If the result of 'one - two' is negative (imagine that the value of two is bigger than one), then you end up with values of 18446744073709551615.
This isn't a bug mind you, as this fact is documented this is the expected behaviour!
So, still looking for the 10 biggest differences you might try...
# Query 2 to select the 10 biggest differences between two colums
SELECT one - two AS diff
WHERE one - two < 10000 -- Hopefuly bigger than our biggest differences
ORDER BY one - two
You find it dosn't work, (you still get the 18446744073709551615s) because the internals of subtracting unsigned columns are so messed up.
You need to do the following...
# Query 3 to select the 10 biggest differences between two colums
SELECT CAST(one - two AS SIGNED) AS diff
ORDER BY diff
I hope this example helps

To convert to numeric, the convert() and cast() functions are less forgiving then the implicit conversion when it comes to the data to be converted. If you want to convert "1a" or "1 apple", "2 apples", " 3 things" to 1, 1, 2 and 3 respectivly, the cast and convert function will produce an error. Instead use select 0+'1a', 0+'1 apple', 0+'2 apples', 0+' 3 things'.

Here's a workaround for not being able to cast/convert a value during table creation with just a create:
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tmp
SELECT 1000000.001-1000000.001 as n;
This will yield a table with the following structure:
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
| n | double(20,3) | | | 0.000 | |

The cast() function is amazingly useful when working with dates - not to mention date+time.
First, take a look at the following basic example:
select cast('2007-12-25' as DATETIME)
This naturally returns the output:
2007-12-25 00:00:00
But there are REALLY useful practical situations where we'd HAVE to use this function. Here's a case:
I want to pick all records from a table "Sales", where the "TransactionDate" field is between 25-Dec-2007 and 25-Jan-2008. Bear in mind that the field is of type DateTime.
Here's the BASIC query that I'd put in a string if I were to do it in PHP:
"SELECT * FROM Sales WHERE TransactionDate BETWEEN '$D1' and $D2"
In the above case, I'm assuming that $D1 and $D2 are posted variables in PHP. Unfortunately The above line won't work. And THIS is where we can use the CAST() function.
So here's the CORRECT STATEMENT:
"SELECT * FROM Sales WHERE TransactionDate BETWEEN CAST('$D1' as DATETIME) and CAST($D2 as DATETIME)"
This does the job without a flaw!
Happy programming,

Alphanumeric strings automatically evaluate to 0 when used in a SELECT query to match against a column of type INT.
For example:
Table T1
n: INT
n_squared: INT,
n n_squared
0 0
1 1
2 4
3 9
4 16
Q1: SELECT * FROM T1 WHERE n_squared='ABC';
Q2: SELECT * FROM T1 WHERE n_squared='ABC123';
Both queries produce identical results:
n n_squared
0 0

Here's another workaround for the lack of data types: create your own conversion function. I am working with a DB (unfortunately) converted from and used by MS Access. All the primary keys are therefor of type INT(10) SIGNED. When UNIONing a constant integer (SELECT 0 AS Key) with a queried value the result is of the wrong type. So, since "CAST(0 AS INT(10))" is not an option I created my own:
CREATE FUNCTION `IntToInt10`(TheInt INT)
RETURNS INT(10) SIGNED -- here is the trick
RETURN TheInt;
Now, whenever I need to force a result to be of type int(10) I just run it through this function. I'm sure it would work for other types too (although a bit more involved if converting between two different classes of data such as numeric to alpha). Hope that helps.

One of the glaring omissions in MySQL is the inability to convert between binary strings and integers and IP's. Here is a way to do it.
Binary string to integer:
conv(hex(binfield), 16, 10)
Binary string to IP:
inet_ntoa(conv(hex(binfield), 16, 10))

The comment by anne blankert on May 29 2006 is not correct, at least with the current version. In a script, both of these will return the expect value of 1:
select cast('1a' as unsigned);
select 0 + '1a';
However, both generate a warning (1292 Truncated incorrect … value).
When casting a character value to a numeric, the character value must be a properly formed number representation. In a script you can simply ignore the warning, the script will return the expected value and continue. However, in a stored procedure, even if you handle the warning with a condition handler, the statement:
set iValue = 0 + '1a';
will return null.
To extract the numeric part of a string, you need to create a function that will parse it using substr().

Many shuls worldwide run combined weekday Mincha/Maariv services. How long before sunset do these services tend to start? Please specify a range, measured in "number of minutes". Also, please cite your sources, if any.
In my local Shul they start Mincha at least 10 minutes earlier than that weeks earliest sunset rounded off to the 5 minutes. For example if the earliest weekly sunset is 5:33 they will start all week at 5:20
Isaac Moses, you inspired me. I've now done a Google search for [ mincha | minchah maariv minutes before sunset ]. Based on some of the first ten search results:
So I conclude that average shuls in North America tend to start their combined weekday mincha/maariv services between 10 and 25 minutes before sunset.
Yeshiva University's last mincha minyan is 15 minutes before the earlist shkia of the week rounded to the 5 minute mark before. So if the earlist shkia of the week is 7:44, mincha will be at 7:25. When I lived there, most of the synagogues in Highland Park, NJ & Edison had mincha/maariv at 15 minutes before shkia. Likely, some rounded to the nearest five minutes, and some didn't.
If I wanted to go to an unfamiliar shul that I expected to have a minyan somewhat before shkia (as opposed to say a chassidic shul that davens mincha after shkia), I'd aim to arrive 20 or 25 minutes before shkia because I'd rather wait a couple of minutes in most cases than miss the beginning, particularly for mincha.

While We're Waiting...
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sat, 05/20/06, 06:15pm:
Field Goals Attempted:
The Rest
Of course, you have to keep in mind that FGA doesn't take into account trips to the line, but those figures pretty much factor out how you'd expect they would: Brand, Cassell, Maggette leading the way, followed by about a trip each for the rest of the rotation - Livingston being the exception.
Chris Kaman is shooting over 60% from the floor from the series and, not surprisingly, Corey Maggette leads the team in points per shot. In a stroke of poeticism, both Kaman and Maggette are far and away the leaders in turnovers per minute.
What's been more encouraging about Maggette's contribution in the series is his work on the defensive glass. In the six games, Corey is averaging 8.2 boards a game; what's remarkable, but hardly without explanation, is the split (7.9 defensive, 0.3 offensive). Corey isn't a post player, despite some futile attempts in game five that prompted Dunleavy (among other reasons) to opt for Vlad and Shaun in the second half. Corey is still a lousy help defender. But good players learn to compensate their deficiencies - and Corey Maggette decided to use his athleticism to offset his...well...whatever it is that prevents him from recognizing a weak-side cut...by becoming a rebounding fiend. Brand, Kaman, Mobley, et al have pretty much maintained their rebounding averages in this series. Sam has collected a few more - largely a product of long PHX misses.
But Corey has been the difference on the defensive boards. And since I've been a vocal Corey skeptic, it's only fair that I throw some love his way.
As a Dunleavy skeptic, I guess I owe him a round of hosannas too.
Among the adjustments Dunleavy made on Thursday night at Staples was going to Ross in the post while maintaining Brand and Kaman's dominance there as well. What this did was draw Phoenix's defenders down low. This created oppotunities for Corey Maggette to go to work - take rotating defenders who aren't set off the dribble, perch himself on the arc for an open jumper once Elton drew the double-team, drive to the rim and draw contact where he saw instability in the defense.
I wrote this before and I still maintain that there's no reason that the Clips can't have their cake and eat it too against PHX. Elton Brand and Chris Kaman are not exclusively the only post players on this squad. Quinton Ross looks like a Sally Struthers case file, but he was posting Steve Nash like he's been doing all his life; Cat's most effective offensive work this series has been backing his defender down. And posting your midsize players isn't posting for posting sake either. What it does is open up the arc for guys like Maggette, Vlad and Sam to go to work. The Clippers' strength is their versatility, and by relegating themselves purely to a "big" or "small" game is handing over the answer key to PHX.
What Game Six proved is that the Clippers are at their best when they mix it up - and I don't mean game-by-game, or quarter-by-quarter, or substitution-by-substitution. No.
Possession-by-possession. Second-by-second.
Maybe Cat will back his guy down and shoot over him, or maybe he'll drop it into a slashing Corey, or maybe he'll kick it back up top to Sam who will then quickly run the side screen for EB in the post. How many teams have a candy dish full of surprises like that they can run in the halfcourt? One. The Dallas Mavericks.
When the Clippers have been unsuccessful offensively in this series (and I'm referring to Game Three and stretches of Game Five), it's because they've committed themselves to a single offensive dogma.
The trick to beating PHX is making them worry about every weapon in the arsenal simultaneously - the menacing post game from the bigs that demands a presence down low, Maggette's speed on the perimeter that requires constant surveillance, the guards' eagerness to back down Nash and Barbosa that calls for help defenders -- thereby opening up additional opportunities for the offense somewhere else.
It's one of the reasons I loved the Cassell-Maggette-Ross-Brand-Kaman lineup the Clips had on the floor during stretches Thursday night. Once Ross committed himself to posting up Nash, it created far too many defensive problems for PHX. Look at the shot chart - the Clips weren't lighting it up from long distance. They were merely getting ridiculously high-percentage shots.
You don't shoot 61.5% by accident.

Offers the performance of an 18" subwoofer in a package not much larger than a typical 15" sub.
The PRX618S 18" Portable Subwoofer is a high-performance powered compact subwoofer system. The PRX618S is comprised of a 268G 460mm (18") Differential Drive dual voice-coil and magnetic gap, neodymium woofer driven by a Crown Class-D power amplifier. The amplifier input panel offers stereo or mono line level inputs via balanced XLR connectors as well as a single channel speaker level input via a 1/4" TS phone jack. Signal processing, crossover functionality and limiting for the system is integrated into the input section functionality. Overall subwoofer input sensitivity is controlled by a single easy grip knob and a simple switch enables polarity reversal for sub/satellite system optimization. Signal present and limit lights indicate performance status.
Compact and powerful, the PRX618S offers the performance of an 18" subwoofer in a package not much larger than a typical 15" sub. With a pole receptacle (that accepts a SS3-BK or SS3-BK24) on the top panel and integrated stereo pass-thru, with selectable HP filter, this is the perfect compliment to the PRX600 full-range systems. Configured with a PRX612M or PRX615M the result is a highly transportable, high-performance subs/satellite system. The addition of polarity reverse options further enables integration with any top cabinet.
All PRX600 cabinets are built from a combination of 1" (25mm) on the top and bottom for added rigidity, and 3/4" (18mm), strong, lightweight poplar plywood made structurally sound with tongue and groove joints. All PRX600 Series cabinets are protected by JBL's tour-proven DuraFlex finish. Grilles are made from dent-resistant 16-gauge steel and handles are made from lightweight glass-filled nylon for added strength and durability.
PRX600s have been certified "Green Edge" compliant by Harman Professional.
SPECIAL NOTE: JBL highly recommends that no more than 70 lb. of weight be placed on a speaker pole that is mounted to a PRX618S or PRX618S-XLF.

Comments about JBL PRX618S 18" Portable Subwoofer System:
Bought 2 of these at a local store last week to use in tandem with our PRX718s. Right out of the box I could tell that it was a lesser quality speaker. The rear plate is very cheezy compaired to the older 718. During our show (rock band) one speaker totally died and other other one sounded so bad that I had to turn it off. I took them back and bought the 618XLF. Although I haven't tried the XLFs yet they look to be build simular to the older PRX718.
Comments about JBL PRX618S 18" Portable Subwoofer System:
JBL is the best product out there for MID to High end PA gear. Do yourself a favor and go with all PRX. This will save you having to lug around amps, crossovers, EQs. I have 2 of the PRX618s subs, and 2 each of the JBL MRX speakers on top of each subwoofer. I wish I bought the PRX tops instead. Makes setup and breakdown so much easier. Still everything sounds great together.
I just finished a 24 hour gig for RELAY FOR LIFE, and used the system constantly. Live music, DJ music," and announcements galore. The speakers sounded excellent.
Easy to move (70lbs)", easy to set up, easy to link.
It's JBL, winning ....duh!!!
On the higher end of the powered subs," but I always agree....""YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!!""
