Jonah Hill, Michael Cera and Christopher Mintz-Plasse might be relatively new acquaintances, but in the Columbia Pictures comedy "Superbad," they seem as though they've known each other forever.
The three actors play Seth (Hill), Evan (Cera) and Fogell (Mintz-Plasse), nerdy high school seniors looking for some serious fun before heading to college. The success of the film depended largely on their chemistry, and that meant creating relationships before the cameras rolled.
"We all got to know each other, and this was like a month before shooting," Cera said. "We would come in and rehearse and get to know each other and get to know the characters in Greg (Motolla's) office, the director. So, by the time the movie came, we were not only familiar with each other and the characters but with certain scenes and how the other person was going to play it. It helps a lot."
The "Superbad" protagonists, like the actors themselves, are coming of age. And Hill said he saw some of himself in each character.
"I identified to more than just my character," he said. "I think it was a mix of the three. I felt things that a lot of the characters felt in the movie."
Cera said he also saw reality in his role.
"I definitely felt like I knew guys like this," he said. "These are the guys I hung out with in high school and related to."
"Superbad" is produced in part by Judd Apatow, who directed "The 40 Year Old Virgin" and this year's "Knocked Up." Both were hits, and the "Superbad" stars said it's great working with a man at the top of his game.
For Hill, it was his third outing with Apatow, as he also had roles in "Virgin" and "Knocked Up." In fact, it was his participation in the latter film that landed him in "Superbad."
"I had known Judd and (co-writer) Seth (Rogen) for awhile, and they were having trouble finding the person to play this part," Hill said. "One day, while we were shooting 'Knocked Up,' Judd asked me if I thought I could do it. Then, Seth and I went and made a tape, and that day, I was in the movie."
For Cera and Mintz-Plasse, the audition process was more rigorous, but the payoff was high-profile roles in a movie that's getting a wide release and a lot of advance buzz.
"This is my credit," said Mintz-Plasse, who had no previous experience in the movies. "I am so happy this is my first film. "» Everybody was unbelievably nice and welcoming."
Cera, who has been acting since the late '90s and whose credits include television's "Arrested Development," said he found "Superbad" particularly enjoyable because he was able to track the progress of the film.
"We kind of saw it evolve," he said. "I saw a few different cuts before we saw what is now the final product, which is really exciting. I'd never been involved in anything like that before"
Now, Cera and company are waiting to see if "Superbad" will play to mainstream audiences. And expectations are high.
"Judd will do a lot of test screenings, and it was his highest-testing movie from the first screening," Hill said. "I think once that happened, that made the studio confident to get behind it, and it just took a lot of the pressure off."

This month, Magis features three of five Freeburg family siblings: Jim Freeburg (Santa Clara University '03), Ben Freeburg (Gonzaga University '01) and Katrina Freeburg (Gonzaga University '98, JVC '99). Each embrace and share the values of Jesuit education with their friends, family, and community, and we are grateful for their perspective on how Jesuit-education has shaped them into being men and women for others:
We grew up with two other large Catholic families, a group someone affectionately named the "Catholic Triangle." Most of the parents and all of the kids graduated from a Catholic university - Gonzaga, Santa Clara or Notre Dame – so basketball season usually elicits some intense rivalries. We can play the seven-degrees-of-separation game in most situations and almost always find a friend. These networks became our communities away from home.
The Jesuit tradition started with our grandmother, Pat Warme, who attended Seattle College (before it became Seattle University) and has been a life-long member of the Peronteau and Xavier Clubs. With our mother as a Seattle U alumna; aunts, uncles and siblings who are Gonzaga, Bellarmine Prep or Georgetown alumni; a brother serving in Jesuit Volunteer Corps NW in Ashland, MT; and Jesuit friends in the Oregon and California Provinces, we are surrounded by lives of service, and men and women for others. Blessed with strong family support, friendships and excellent Jesuit educations, it became an unspoken family expectation that we would pay back our gifts to the wider community. We each defined our journeys though philanthropy, volunteerism and/or non-profit careers.
The three of us also served in year-long volunteer programs after graduation. Katrina was a case manager with Jesuit Volunteer Corps in Los Angeles; Ben worked for the Red Cross through AmeriCorps after the September 11th bombings; and Jim served as a Franciscans International volunteer at the United Nations in New York City. Katrina also taught for several years at Dolores Mission, a Jesuit parish school in East Los Angeles, hosting several of her brothers and their friends on immersion trips from Santa Clara University.
Because we've always had a strong community, we continue our Jesuit experience by building that community for others. We frequently invite current and former Jesuit Volunteers, and friends in the Jesuit and alumni network to join our circle of family and friends through weekends at our family cabin in the mountains, through a home Mass, or sharing a Seder supper. It's a blessing and a responsibility to be Jesuit-educated, and we embrace this role wholeheartedly.

Smartweed (Polygonum spp.) may have erect or creeping rootstocks. The stem is distinctly jointed, with each swollen joint or node covered by a thin sheath. Leaves are alternate and usually linear to elliptical. Flowers are white, or pink. Smartweed may be emerged or submersed with only the flowers being displayed.
Mechanical Control
Smartweed can be cut down or the roots can be dug up. It will be difficult to control this way because it will regrow from seeds and remaining roots.
Chemical Control
Systemic herbicides, such as Shoreline Defense®, will work to kill the root of the plant.
Chemical Application Best Practices
Anytime you use chemicals treat weeds and algae, please keep in mind the following:
- Treat your pond in sections. Treat only half the pond's surface at a time, if the weather is hot, only treat 1/4-1/3 of your pond. Wait 10-14 days between treatments.
- Once the weeds have browned, use a Weed Cutter to remove as much dead material as possible. This prevents an accumulation of dead plant material and muck.
- Treat your pond with the proactive approach to pond management. Use PondClear™, MuckAway™ and Pond Dye to keep your pond looking great.

Kinetic and Hydrodynamic Representations of Coronal Expansion and The Solar Wind1216(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3395887View Description Hide Description
We consider the Lemaire‐Scherer construction of the supersonic solar wind as the kinetic escape of a collisionless (scatter‐free) plasma from an exosphere near the Sun. The radial electric field enforces equality of the electron and ion densities and also equality of the electron and ion fluxes. Consequently, the electrons form an electrostatically confined atmosphere with the temperature declining outward only slowly from the exosphere and becoming the work horse that lifts and accelerates the ions to supersonic velocity.
Half a Century of Kinetic Solar Wind Models1216(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3395971View Description Hide Description
I outline the development of four generations of kinetic models, starting with Chamberlain's solar breeze exospheric model. It is shown why this first kinetic model did not give apposite supersonic evaporation velocities, like early hydrodynamic models of the solar wind. When a self‐consistent polarization electric potential distribution is used in the coronal plasma, instead of the Pannekoek‐Rosseland's one, supersonic bulk velocities are readily obtained in the second generation of kinetic models. It is outlined how the third and fourth generations of these models have improved the agreement with observations of slow and fast speed solar wind streams.
Solar Wind Acceleration: Mechanisms and Scaling Laws1216(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3395823View Description Hide Description
The basic conservation laws for mass, momentum and energy along flow tubes from the sun to the Earth, together with observational constraints coming from remote sensing observations of the corona and in‐situ measurements of the wind may be used to derive scaling laws relating the asymptotic solar wind properties to the source regions on the sun. This paper reviews and compares theories of solar wind acceleration based on such conservation principles, stressing the different approximations involved.
Convective Instability Of The Solar Corona: Why The Solar Wind Blows1216(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3395838View Description Hide Description
Chapman's conductive model of the solar corona is characterized by a temperature varying as with heliocentric distance r. The density distribution in this non‐isothermal hydrostatic model has a minimum value at and increases with r above that altitude. It is shown that this hydrostatic model becomes convectively unstable above where the temperature lapse rate becomes superadiabatic. Beyond this radial distance heat conduction fails to be efficient enough to keep the temperature gradient smaller than the adiabatic lapse rate. We report the results obtained by Lemaire who showed that an additional mechanism is then required to transport the energy flux away from the Sun into interplanetary space. He pointed out that this additional mechanism is advection: i.e. the stationary hydrodynamic expansion of the corona. In other words the corona is unable to stay in hydrostatic equilibrium. The hydrodynamic solar wind expansion is thus a physical consequence of the too steep (superadiabatic) temperature gradient beyond the peak of coronal temperature that can be determined from white light brightness distributions observed during solar eclipses. The thermodynamic argument for the existence of a continuous solar wind expansion which is presented here, complements Parker's classical argument based on boundary conditions imposed to the solutions of the hydrodynamic equations for the coronal expansion: i.e. the inability of the mechanical forces to hold the corona in hydrostatic equilibrium. The thermodynamic argument presented here is based on the energy transport equation. It relies on the temperature distribution which becomes super‐adiabatic above a certain altitude in the inner corona.
Search for a self‐consistent solar wind model1216(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3395848View Description Hide Description
We describe here a solar wind 1‐fluid 1D model which is (1) time‐dependent (2) includes transition region down to solar surface (3) uses a moderate number of grid points to enable further generalization to 2D/3D. The present model enables to study the response of the transition region and corona to photospheric pressure perturbations, including the solar wind up to ten solar radii. A simple chromosphere model with uniform temperature is used, in two different forms, either taking into account partial ionization or not. We show here how the amplitude of the response and associated viscous heating vary when attempting to decreasing the dynamical viscosity to approach realistic values.
Coupling Photosphere and Corona: Linear and Turbulent Regimes1216(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3395858View Description Hide Description
In a recent work Grappin et al. [1] have shown that low‐ frequency movements can be transmitted from one footpoint to the other along a magnetic loop, thus mimicking a friction effect of the corona on the photosphere, and invalidating the line‐tying approximation. We consider here successively the effect of high frequencies and turbulent damping on the process. We use a very simple atmospheric model which allows to study analytically the laminar case, and to study the turbulent case both using simple phenomenological arguments and a more sophisticated turbulence model [2]. We find that, except when turbulent damping is such that all turbulence is damped during loop traversal, coupling still occurs between distant footpoints, and moreover the coronal field induced by photospheric movements saturates at finite values.
Upward and downward propagation of transverse waves due to small‐scale magnetic reconnection in the chromosphere1216(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3395867View Description Hide Description
We aim at studying the connections between the propagation of transverse waves on spicules and the small‐scale magnetic reconnections at the feet of the spicules. The observed transverse wave may be interpreted as an Alfvén wave or a kink wave. We use the observations from SOT/Hinode in the Ca II H line to study the spicule dynamics above the reconnection sites. We found in three cases that the transverse oscillations were excited by magnetic reconnection, and steepened while propagating upwardly. In case‐1, the steepening oscillations were attenuated at greater heights in association with the extension of the spicule plasma. In case‐2, the transverse wave seems to be initiated by a footpoint jump of the spicule trace in the photosphere. The transverse wave in case‐3 was found to be reflected, and then to propagate downward. These results reveal the wave dynamics in the low solar atmosphere, and provide observational evidence that is useful for the modeling of coronal heating and solar wind acceleration, involving wave generation by magnetic reconnection in the chromosphere.
Upflows in the upper transition region of the quiet Sun1216(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3395877View Description Hide Description
We investigate the physical meaning of the prominent blue shifts of Ne VIII, which is observed to be associated with quiet‐Sun network junctions (boundary intersections), through data analyses combining force‐free‐field extrapolations with EUV spectroscopic observations. For a middle‐latitude region, we reconstruct the magnetic funnel structure in a sub‐region showing faint emission in EIT‐Fe 195. This funnel appears to consist of several smaller funnels that originate from network lanes, expand with height and finally merge into a single wide open‐field region. However, the large blue shifts of Ne VIII are generally not associated with open fields, but seem to be associated with the legs of closed magnetic loops. Moreover, in most cases significant upflows are found in both of the funnel‐shaped loop legs. These quasi‐steady upflows are regarded as signatures of mass supply to the coronal loops rather than the solar wind. Our observational result also reveals that in many cases the upflows in the upper transition region (TR) and the downflows in the middle TR are not fully cospatial. Based on these new observational results, we suggest different TR structures in coronal holes and in the quiet Sun.
Turbulence, Energy Transfers and Reconnection in Compressible Coronal Heating Field‐line Tangling Models1216(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3395890View Description Hide Description
MHD turbulence has long been proposed as a mechanism for the heating of coronal loops in the framework of the Parker scenario for coronal heating. So far most of the studies have focused on its dynamical properties without considering its thermodynamical and radiative features, because of the very demanding computational requirements. In this paper we extend this previous research to the compressible regime, including an energy equation, by using HYPERION, a new parallelized, viscoresistive, three‐dimensional compressible MHD code. HYPERION employs a Fourier collocation—finite difference spatial discretization, and uses a third‐order Runge‐Kutta temporal discretization. We show that the implementation of a thermal conduction parallel to the DC magnetic field induces a radiative emission concentrated at the boundaries, with properties similar to the chromosphere—transition region—corona system.
Large‐scale energy balance and MHD turbulence in solar coronal structures1216(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3395901View Description Hide Description
The energy balance at large scales in a coronal loop is studied, using an analytical model. We generalize a previous model by including a longitudinal inhomonegeity in the background density. The dynamics is regulated by the resonance between motions at the loop basis and eigenmodes, giving rise to energy storage within the loop, and by nonlinear effects that move this energy to smaller scales. We derive a scaling law for the input energy flux, the properties of eigenmodes and of their nonlinear coupling, and estimations for the nonlinear flux and for the velocity perturbation. For typical loop conditions, the resulting values are in accordance with the energy flux required for the quiet‐Sun corona and with measured nonthermal velocities.
Solar Coronal Heating via Alfvén Wave Turbulence1216(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3395910View Description Hide Description
A short review is given about the self‐consistent MHD model of solar coronal heating recently proposed by Bigot et al. (2008) in which the dynamical effect of the background magnetic field along a coronal structure is taken into account through exact results from Alfvén wave turbulence. The main properties of the model are given as well as the heating rate and the microturbulent velocity obtained in the case of coronal loops. The conclusion is that Alfvén wave turbulence may produce an efficient background heating for the solar corona.
More than Mass Proportional Heating of Heavy Ions by Collisionless Quasi‐Perpendicular Shocks in the Solar Corona1216(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3395919View Description Hide Description
In addition to the high temperatures, SOHO/UVCS observations have shown that heavy ions in the polar corona are heated more than protons, and that heavy ion heating is more than mass proportional; further, the perpendicular temperatures are much larger than parallel temperatures. Here, we propose that the more than mass proportional heating of heavy ions in coronal holes is due to the ion reflection at supercritical quasi‐perpendicular shocks and to the ion acceleration by the motional electric field in the shock frame. We also discuss the formation of collisionless shock in the polar corona.
Modeling the Preferential Acceleration and Heating of Coronal Hole as Measured by UVCS/SOHO1216(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3395929View Description Hide Description
We have recently presented a mechanism for preferential acceleration and heating of coronal hole minor ions [1, 2]. The energization is due to the effect of multiple cyclotron resonances in the presence of sunward and anti‐sunward dispersive ion cyclotron waves, providing a second‐order Fermi interaction. The mechanism is preferential because coronal hole protons do not experience such multiple resonances. The detailed model results depend on many parameters, including poorly‐known quantities such as the wave intensities, spectral shapes and radial profiles. In this paper, we show that reasonable choices for these quantities can yield excellent agreement with the observations. We find that only a small fraction of the extrapolated wave power is needed to provide the observed heating, and there is an indication that the resonant wave levels are increasing with radial position between and
Analysis of the energy release for different magnetic reconnection dynamics within the solar environment1216(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3395940View Description Hide Description
A 2.5‐dimensional magnetohydrodynamics simulation analysis of the energy release for three different reconnection dynamics is presented. The system under investigation consists in a current‐sheet located in a medium with a strong density variation along the current layer: such system is modeled as it were located in the high chromosphere/low solar corona as in the case of pre‐ flare and coronal mass ejection (CME) configurations or in the aftermath of such explosive phenomena. By triggering different magnetic‐reconnection dynamics, that is from a laminar slow evolution to a spontaneous non‐steady turbulent reconnection [1, 2, 3], we observe a rather different efficiency and temporal behavior with regard to the energy fluxes associated with each of these reconnection‐driven evolutions. These discrepancies are fundamental key‐properties to create realistic models of the triggering mechanisms and initial evolution of all those phenomena requiring fast (and high power) magnetic reconnection events within the solar environment.
Quasilinear Wave "Reflection" Due to Proton Heating by an Imbalanced Turbulent Cascade1216(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3395950View Description Hide Description
We investigate the quasilinear effects of the resonant wave‐particle interaction under conditions of imbalanced turbulent heating in the collisionless coronal hole. We find that velocity‐space transport of protons from the heated part of the distribution leads to strong wave growth in the minority (sunward) direction. In the present quasilinear analysis, the "reflected" waves grow to unphysical levels, indicating the necessity of including nonlinear processes. This mechanism is likely to be important in development of the fast solar wind, and may explain the puzzling minor ion observations of Landi & Cranmer (2009).
Hybrid Simulations of Energy Cascade among Fast Magnetosonic Waves in a Cold Plasma1216(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3395961View Description Hide Description
We present hybrid simulations of the energy cascade among fast waves in the vicinity of the proton inertial scale. The plasma beta is set to low values typical of the solar corona. The cascade proceeds in the wavenumber space mostly in the direction across the mean magnetic field. The highly oblique fast waves can be efficiently dissipated on the protons by several mechanisms. The resulting proton heating is preferentially perpendicular to the magnetic field. If the wave intensity is constrained by the observed density spectra in the corona, the heating is fast enough to generate the solar wind.
Resonant Interactions Between Protons and Oblique Alfvén/Ion‐Cyclotron Waves1216(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3395966View Description Hide Description
Resonant interactions between ions and Alfvén/ion‐cyclotron (A/IC) waves may play an important role in the heating and acceleration of the fast solar wind. Although such interactions have been studied extensively for "parallel" waves, whose wave vectors k are aligned with the background magnetic field much less is known about interactions between ions and oblique A/IC waves, for which the angle θ between k and is nonzero. In this paper, we present new numerical results on resonant cyclotron interactions between protons and oblique A/IC waves in collisionless low‐beta plasmas such as the solar corona. We find that if some mechanism generates oblique high‐frequency A/IC waves, then these waves initially modify the proton distribution function in such a way that it becomes unstable to parallel waves. Parallel waves are then amplified to the point that they dominate the wave energy at the large parallel wave numbers at which the waves resonate with the particles. Pitch‐angle scattering by these waves then causes the plasma to evolve towards a state in which the proton distribution is constant along a particular set of nested "scattering surfaces" in velocity space, whose shapes have been calculated previously. As the distribution function approaches this state, the imaginary part of the frequency of parallel A/IC waves drops continuously towards zero, but oblique waves continue to undergo cyclotron damping while simultaneously causing protons to diffuse across these kinetic shells to higher energies. We conclude that oblique A/IC waves can be more effective at heating protons than parallel A/IC waves, because for oblique waves the plasma does not relax towards a state in which proton damping of oblique A/IC waves ceases.
Longitudinal oscillation of intensity fronts in a strand at the edge of an active region1216(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3395967View Description Hide Description
The edge of a solar active region (AR) is considered as a possible source region of the slow solar wind. Winebarger et al. (2001) observed outflows from an AR with velocities between 5 and 20 km/s. Recently, Sakao et al. (2007) reported the outflow of X‐ray‐emitting plasma from the edge of an AR. This outflow was inferred from the observation of outward traveling intensity enhancements. However, in Robbrecht et al. (2001), propagation of slow magnetoacoustic waves along the strand was considered as the possible cause for the longitudinal extension of the strand. Whether this phenomenon relates to a slow‐mode wave or the outflow of plasma or a heating process of different parts of the strand is still an open question. Here we try to identify the nature of such a traveling event through studying the longitudinal motions of certain intensity level fronts in the strand. We find that the intensity front is oscillating like a sinusoidal signal along the strand with a period of 11 minutes. This result suggests that the oscillation might be partly related with the 5‐minute p‐mode oscillation in the photosphere. Moreover, we find that such oscillation of intensity‐level fronts can be described by a model in which the strand has periodic extension. Yet, the relation between the extending strand and slow solar wind needs to be further studied.
Coronal Inflows and Giant Polar Plumes1216(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3395968View Description Hide Description
We present the first results of simulations of giant polar plumes and coronal flows. We use a 2.5D axisymmetric MHD numerical model of an isothermal corona and slow solar wind. A plume is generated just above a small magnetic bipole embedded in an unipolar flux region which is perturbed by Alfvén waves injected from the coronal base. The boundary conditions are transparent. The results are compared to those obtained previously with a 1D wind model in which plumes are generated as a consequence of variations of the heating and flux‐tube expansion parameters.

Born: August 21, 1948
Ohio connection: Birth
Sharon Draper, daughter of Victor D. and Catherine Mills, was born in Cleveland, Ohio. She was the eldest of three children raised in a close-knit community. Education was a high priority in her family, and she grew up with a deep love of reading. From childhood she had a strong desire to become a teacher. After her graduation from high school, she went on to Pepperdine University, where she received a B.A. She received an M.A. from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Married to Larry E. Draper, she is the mother of four: Wendy, Damon, Crystal, and Cory. In 1970, Draper became an English teacher at Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati, and eventually head of the English Department there. In 1997, she was named National Teacher of the Year. It is said that students are eager to sign up for her English classes, even though she is well known for assigning to seniors a lengthy, demanding research paper due in the last quarter of the school year. Dubbed "the Draper Paper," it is intended as a challenging test of writing skills, textual analysis, and research ability, and former students can be seen about town wearing "I Survived the Draper Paper" T-shirts. Draper is one of the most highly regarded African-American authors and educators in the country today, writing poetry and fiction for children, young adults, and adults. Her "Ziggy" series for children includes Ziggy and the Black Dinosaurs; Ziggy and the Black Dinosaurs: Lost in the Tunnel of Time; and Ziggy and the Black Dinosaurs: Shadow of Caesar`s Creek. Some young adult titles are Tears of a Tiger, Romiette and Julio, Jazzimagination, Double Dutch, and The Battle of Jericho. She has written a poetry book for children, Let the Circle Be Unbroken, and one for adults, Buttered Bones. She has also written non-fiction books on teaching: Teaching from the Heart: Reflections, Encouragement, and Inspiration; and Not Quite Burned Out but Crispy Around the Edges: Inspiration, Laughter, and Encouragement for Teachers. Sharon Draper continues to live and work in the Cincinnati area.

The first approach that I used a lot in the past and did the job well is using Maya paint effects. With a little effort and a few hours of work you can make some pretty good fx brushes for painting hair, I have a few custom ones done by myself but I will start from a basic one to show you the process.
This is Maya paint effects canvas:
Click on the brush presets icon and the visor will pop up. From the paint effects tab inside visor choose the "hair" folder and then the most saturated red hair there like in the picture below. You can play with other presets as you like but this one is best suited for what i need.
This is how the default brush will look like (hit the alpha channel button shown in the paint effects canvas picture to work only with alpha).
Now to customize the brush hit Ctrl + b to open the Paint Effects Brush Settings dialog box. Here you can find all the parameters you will have to modify to customize the brush and there are plenty (I did not count them but I remember in a tutorial saying that there are more than a hundred parameters for paint effects brush settings ).You will not have to play with all of them ... but some are quite useful.
Pay attention to the brush profile parameters, especially Brush Width and Stamp Density.
Also under the Tubes section you will find Creation and there you have Tubes per step which modify the density of the tubes, the segments attribute (which you will have to increase if you have curly hair) (tip: you can enter a bigger value than the maxim allowed when you drag any slider by numerically entering the value in the field).
You can also modify some parameters in the Tubes->Behavior to alter the behavior of the brush.
In the Forces sections you can modify Path Follow so that the tubes will closely follow the path if you draw curved strokes and add randomness to the tubes using Random parameter.

Smart Consumer Guide: Public Utility Services
Being a smart utility customer makes sense. By knowing how your service works, you can save yourself time and money and choose the service that best fits your needs. This booklet contains answers to questions most frequently asked by customers of electric, gas, telephone and water companies regulated by the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC). If you need additional help or have other questions, call the commission toll free at 1(800) 562-6150.
Paying for Service
When must I pay a deposit for service? Generally, homeowners and customers with good credit records will not have to pay a deposit. If you do not have a satisfactory credit rating, you might be required to pay a deposit before service can begin. Examples of conditions that might require a deposit include:
How much will my deposit be? Generally, your deposit will be about two times the monthly bill. Telephone companies base this amount on your local and long-distance bills.
When is my deposit due? Usually half of the deposit is due when service is connected, with the balance due in two monthly installments.
What if I cannot put up a deposit? Ask your utility for other options. For example, another person with good credit may be willing to assume financial responsibility for your utility bill. Or you can receive limited service (such as no long-distance) during the time that your credit is being established. Energy utilities will allow you to pre-pay an estimate of your monthly bills in lieu of a deposit.
When will I get my deposit back? When you pay your bill promptly for 12 consecutive months. At that point, your deposit will either be applied to your next bill or returned to you. In either case, you will get your deposit amount plus interest. "Prompt payment" means you cannot have received more than two past-due notices within the last 12 months, and the company has not disconnected your service for non- payment.
When does a bill become past due? Bills can become past- due after 15 days from the date issued.
Can I change my bill's due date? Upon your request, the company must change your due date to coincide with your payday.
What information must be on my bill? The bill must include the company's name, address and phone number of where to call for information or to dispute bills. In addition, the bill must include:
How do I dispute a bill? Contact the company and try to resolve the complaint with them. You must be allowed to speak to a supervisor. If you cannot get your dispute resolved with the company, contact the UTC. Once the commission initiates an investigation, companies are required to respond within two full working days. If you think there's a problem with the meter reading for your water or energy, you can request that the company re-check the meter.
How can I learn more about the rates my company charges? Many companies will send you a copy of their rates. If not, a copy must be available for public inspection at the company's office. You may also review company tariffs (a document outlining rates, terms and conditions for providing service) at UTC headquarters in Olympia or request that a copy be mailed to you. Unless the tariff is unusually large, there is no charge for this mailing.
Losing Service
Can my service be disconnected without my permission? Yes, if you do not pay bills on time, if you fail to make a deposit payment, or if you began service under false or illegal pretenses such as using another person's name.
When can service be disconnected? Utility companies may not disconnect your service on weekends, legal holidays, or on any other day when the company cannot re-establish service on the same or following day. An exception can be made if the disconnection is necessary to prevent danger to life or property.
Can a company disconnect my service while I am disputing the bill? As long as you pay undisputed portions of your bill, a company may not disconnect your service if the UTC is investigating your claim.
Must a company notify me before it disconnects my service? Yes. Before disconnection, a customer should receive at least one written notice accurately stating the amounts owed and detailing the process that needs to be followed to avoid disconnection. A company seeking disconnection must also attempt additional contacts with the customer either by telephone or by another written notice. Written notices can either be mailed or hand- delivered.
Are there any exceptions to the notification requirement? Yes. If you tamper with the gas or electricity meter, the company may disconnect service without notice.
May a company charge to reconnect my service? Yes. Utility companies can charge reconnection fees. The amount varies from company to company.
Providing Service
May a company refuse to provide me service for having an unpaid utility bill? Phone companies may refuse service but must offer you at least one chance to pay the amount owed over time. Energy and water companies, however, may not refuse service to disconnected customers. Instead, these companies can require a deposit. Failure to pay for long-distance calls and other charges unrelated to basic local phone service is not grounds for disconnection.
If I don't owe a company anything, can I still be denied service? A company can deny service if you live outside their service territory. This usually applies to people living in remote rural locations. If you need to have new lines installed, the telephone company requires that the customer has secured right-of-way access and that installation of lines doesn't pose any hazard to the installer.
How is my utility rate determined? Many factors contribute to the cost of energy, water and telecommunications services, including equipment, repair and administrative costs, employee wages, taxes and compliance with local regulations. When any of these costs increase, a company may seek approval from the UTC for a rate increase.
How will I know if my company is proposing a rate increase? Your company is required to inform all customers of proposed rate hikes before they go into effect. Customers may comment in writing about any proposed rate increase or in person at public meetings.
What can I do if I think my company raised my rates without proper notice? If you feel your rates were increased without proper notification, speak with the company supervisor. If you are still dissatisfied, contact the UTC Consumer Affairs Office.
How can I get more information about a pending rate increase? Call the UTC's voice-messaging system for information about participating in the UTC's rate-setting process. You may also request that your name be placed on an "interested persons" mailing list so that you are notified of any hearings regarding changes to your company's rates.
How does the UTC decide whether to approve a rate change? UTC staff examines all rate increase proposals to see if the request is fair, just, reasonable and sufficient. This review includes an audit of the company's expenses and verification of the quality of service provided. Letters from the public are also considered. After this review, staff makes a recommendation to the three-member commission at a public hearing at which customers are allowed to speak on the proposal. The UTC may choose to approve changes proposed by a company, grant lower rates, or postpone the rate increase for further investigation.

Process Description:
lossyWAV adds white noise to the processed output. The amount of added noise is
based on analysis of the signal levels in the frequency range 20Hz to 16kHz.
If signals above the upper limiting frequency are at an even lower level, they
can be swamped by the added noise. This is usually inaudible, but the behaviour
can be changed by specifying a higher --limit (in the range 16kHz to 20kHz).
For many audio signals, there is little content at very high frequencies, and
forcing lossyWAV to keep the added noise level lower than the content at these
frequencies can increase the bitrate dramatically for no perceptible benefit.

I created four test samples containing white noise: 16-bit/48 kHz, 16-bit/96 kHz, 24-bit/48 kHz and 24-bit/96 kHz. Then I did a frequency analysis of the difference between the original and lossy conversions (default, shaping 0, shaping 0 + dither 1). I conclude three things:

I created four test samples containing white noise: 16-bit/48 kHz, 16-bit/96 kHz, 24-bit/48 kHz and 24-bit/96 kHz. Then I did a frequency analysis of the difference between the original and lossy conversions (default, shaping 0, shaping 0 + dither 1). I conclude three things:Thank you kind sir - it looks pretty good.
So, are you more comfortable now having seen the results - I certainly am, thanks for the effort.
So (2 ^ bits-to-remove) = 32 is the clipping error, which is 1/1024th of the target signal amplitude in this case, and represents a smaller error than 32 from the original signal (presumably between 16 and 31), where the target bits-to-remove would have generated a rounding error of 15 if it had 17 bits available to round upwards instead of having to round downwards.As bits-to-remove increases, then the difference between what the sample should have been and the clipped sample increases accordingly. However if the bits-to-remove value is high then it is very likely that the audio in that codec-block channel is loud and the clipped sample may be obscured.
In this 5-bit case, this clipping error is equivalent to clipping caused by increasing gain by 0.0085 dB above full scale, which is very low-level, and might reassure other users (e.g. try amplifying a full-scale signal by 0.0085 dB and ABX the clipping distortion, which will exceed the distortion in lossyWAV [edit]when 5 bits are removed, that is[/edit]). The sample error adds energy at about -60dB relative to a full-scale sample in this case, which is only mildly indicative of what scale of event may happen in the frequency domain to which the ear responds.
Things get more complicated with noise shaping in use, though presumably there's a feed-forward of accumulated error (like with error-diffusion dither in imaging) which enables the always-negative clipping adjustment to be offset by greater likelihood of positive shifts in following samples, and presumably the instantaneous clipping is likely to be incorporated into the high frequency end of the shaped noise unless there happen to be numerous successive clipped samples, which naturally means lower frequencies.
It is worth saying again that at preset --standard, only one clip is allowed per channel per codec-block (22.7 micro-seconds.) and from testing, this does not seem to be audible.

Olympic hopefuls look to make their mark on Cook Islands
Even though there's nothing riding on this week's Oceania Olympic qualification tournament in the Cook Islands for Australia, four teams who are hoping to make it to Rio next year are looking to make a statement.
The Cook Islands event acts as a qualifier for the Asian Olympic qualifiers next year, but as host nation Australia will be guaranteed starts.
Four Australian teams, two men and two women, are competing at Raratonga, including Australia's world U23 champions, Nikki Laird and Mariafe Artacho del Solar.
"This tournament is the best opportunity to prepare for the Asian Continental Cup in June next year, as its the only other time we'll play a tournament of the same style," Laird said.
"We're going into it with the same approach we'd look to take in the final tournament, so we can see what areas we still need the most improvement in to be successful when it really counts."
Australia's top-rated women's team of Louise Bawden and Taliqua Clancy are practically guaranteed a Rio position because of their current world ranking, throwing the race wide open for a potential second Australian team.
2012 Olympian, Becchara Palmer, who played with Bawden in London, is playing with Queensland's Jordan Mowen in Raratonga.
"I think that although we are still a fairly new pairing, we made some good progress on the Asian Tour so we would like to build on from that," Mowen said.
"It is also a very new but exciting experience to be playing as a "big" team with the other girls, so we would like to contribute our best performance so we can all reap the benefits."
In the men's competition, former Danish international Bo Soderberg and Perth's Cole Durant will be looking to build on their exciting early results since coming together as a pair in recent months.
"It's a really cool format because it's not just about me or my team, it's about the greater Australian team and the whole sport of beach volleyball in Australia," Durant said.
"Earning an Olympic spot is very important for our sport's future, and of course winning this tournament puts us in the best position to win the golden ticket in June.
"I feel a bigger sense of selflessness or responsibility to perform well for our country but still just excited to compete against quality opposition in an amazing country. I'm looking forward to just stepping on court, battling it out and hopefully representing Australia with pride."
Australia's second men's team, Melbourne-based Joshua Court and Damien Schumann, will be looking to build on some reasonable recent results in Indonesia and Turkey.
The Australian teams begin their Oceania campaigns on Wednesday, Australian time.
Volleyball Australia (VA) is seeking Expressions of Interest from suitably qualified coaches for the following important national positions.

Schwartz family join Volleyball Australia team
Jerry Schwartz aims to revive Sydney 2000 spirit with partnership of Australian Volleyball.
13 October 2015: Tourism and hospitality entrepreneur, Dr Jerry Schwartz, announced today that the Schwartz Family Company would become a major sponsor of Volleyball Australia as the sport attempts to revive the highs achieved during the 2000 Olympics.
The sponsorship was announced today at Parliament House, with NSW Premier Mike Baird welcoming Dr Schwartz's support for the sport as it gears up to challenge for gold in the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Dr Schwartz, who is Australia's largest private owner of hotels in Australia, is already a major sporting supporter, keen philanthropist and supporter of charities across the State.
The sponsorship will cover all aspects of volleyball - indoor and beach volleyball, women's, men's and junior.
He joins other major partners of the sport including Mrs Gina Rinehart and Bendon Lingerie manufacturer, Eric Watson.
"Who can forget the impact our women's beach volleyball team made to the success of Sydney's Olympic Games in 2000?" said Dr Schwartz.
"The tournament captured everything that is good about Sydney and as we head down the road to Rio, we need to recapture that spirit and vitality. A successful competition on the sand in Rio will be an enormous advertisement for Australia's beach and sporting culture.
"Our beach volleyball team is ranked in the top 5 in the world, and with extra resources we can get back to our gold status.
"In particular, this support will boost women's sport. So much sporting investment favours traditionally male sports, whereas volleyball has a strong focus on women and girls, and they deserve greater support."
Volleyball Australia President, Craig Carracher, said the generous support of the Schwartz Family Company comes at an exciting time for the sport in Australia.
"Our beach teams, and our women in particular, are currently among the best in the world, while our men's indoor team is on the verge of an exciting Rio qualifying campaign," Mr Carracher said.
"Our women's indoor program has been re-launched after years of little government funding, and we have some of the biggest junior sports programs in Australia.
"None of this is possible without the support of people like Dr Jerry Schwartz. It is fantastic to have someone with his vision and generosity on board."
Volleyball Australia Chief Commercial Officer, Rod Harys, said Australian businesses were recognising what the sport has to offer.
"Volleyball is the most gender equal sport in the world, it is one of the most popular sports in the world, and whether it is indoor or beach, it is a thrilling sport to watch," Mr Harys said.
"Having the support of sponsors of the calibre of the Schwartz Family Company, Mrs Gina Rinehart and Bendon, and the recent signing of Three Threes Condiments, Mightymite, Hope Estate Wines, Sunland, Mitronics and Sails Restaurant Group underlines that this is a sport going forward.
"And that will be further exemplified on the sand of Copacabana Beach and in a Maracana stadium next year. It is an exciting time for beach and indoor volleyball."

NEWS: Hundreds of Beacon residents came out to honor the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. this morning for a community march that locals believe will become an annual tradition. The Southern Dutchess Coalition, along with the City of Beacon's Springfield Baptist Church and local religious leaders held the 36th annual Birthday Celebration for King, considered by many to be a leader in the American civil rights movement. Dutchess Junction longtime activist and folk singer Pete Seeger dreamed of uniting the community with a parade on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, said Bonnie Champion, one of the event organizers and a member of Seeger's environmental group, the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater. This morning, Springfield Baptist was packed with people preparing to march together, some holding signs or pictures of King. To the crowd's dismay, word came that Seeger wasn't feeling good and couldn't make it to the parade right before it started at 10 a.m.
Suspects who robbed two separate City of Poughkeepsie Rite Aid Pharmacy locations at knifepoint within a 24-hour period fled after stealing cash from the registers, police said. The robberies are likely connected, although it's not definite, City of Poughkeepsie police Sgt. Joseph Herring said. The suspects are described as black males who wore ski masks. On Saturday at approximately 8:02 p.m., two men with a knife stole an undisclosed sum of cash from the South Avenue Rite Aid, Herring said. One wore a red sweat suit and one wore dark pants and a blue hooded sweat shirt. The Hooker Avenue Rite Aid was robbed Sunday evening by three black males with a knife, Herring said. They stole several hundred dollars and escaped by vehicle. One suspect wore green khaki pants. No one was injured. Anyone with information about the incidents should call city police at 845-451-4000.
State budget projections show New York has a $1.7 billion deficit next fiscal year. Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he'll turn that into a $500 million surplus and start a three-year plan to cut taxes by $2 billion. Cuomo will unveil his state budget proposal on Tuesday, and he'll be banking on an improving economy and limited spending to pay for his tax plan, increases in school aid and other pet programs. Cuomo's plan is already drawing skeptics who question how he will eliminate projected budget gaps and create a surplus at a time when state revenue remains unsteady. Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli on Friday warned that tax receipts were $534 million off projections in the current fiscal year, which runs until March 31. "The state started the fiscal year strong, but it is not clear if we will end the year that way," he said. Watch the budget presentation live on the Journal website beginning at around 2 p.m.
BUSINESS: Saint Francis Hospital's case will be in federal bankruptcy court again Tuesday for a long agenda of motions, some of which bring forth objections from parties. Saint Francis filed Dec. 17, saying a troubled computer implementation added insurmountable woes to its difficult finances. Health Quest came in as an initial bidder to buy most of its assets and later was joined by Westchester Medical Center, which said it may offer a competing bid. ArchCare and Bon Secours Charity Health System said they may bid just for the home-health care business of Saint Francis. Those bids are due Feb. 10. Most of Tuesday's agenda relates to routine matters and are uncontested, but some include objections raised by parties who are owed money by Saint Francis.

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) -- The Jacksonville attorney charged with running a veterans' charity that Florida prosecutors say was a gambling operation wants a judge to try him separately from his co-defendants.
Attorneys for Kelly Mathis, who is charged with being the mastermind behind the Allied Veterans of the World gaming centers, say they plan to ask a judge to let Mathis go on trial without the other 56 co-defendants. Mathis' attorneys argue those defendants are likely to blame Mathis for their arrest.
The Florida Times-Union (http://tinyurl.com/lpc39l5) reports Mathis and six others have not waived their right to speedy trial.
The investigation into Allied Veterans of the World led to the resignation of former Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll after she was interviewed during the probe. Her firm did work for Allied but she's denied wrongdoing and wasn't charged.

Okay, sorry, couldn't resist. I think your solution to use Bootcamp is the quickest way to get it up and running. Not sure why you can't simply reload, but it must have something to do with the battery going dead. If you use Bootcamp, it ought to work as advertised, then set it to boot automatically into Windows or rebuild it Windows only.
I don't think it takes much extra time, if any, to use Bootcamp. Just some disk space, if you can live with it.

Top 25: No. 2 Syracuse 85, Connecticut 67
Published February 11, 2012 1:32 pm
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. • Scoop Jardine sparked a game-deciding rally with 3-pointers on consecutive possessions in the closing minutes, and No. 2 Syracuse beat Connecticut 85-67 on Saturday.
Jardine had a season-high 21 points as Syracuse (25-1, 12-1 Big East) earned its fifth consecutive win since suffering its only loss of the season at Notre Dame.
Connnecticut trailed the entire second half but closed to 63-61 on a free throw by Tyler Olander with 6:26 to go.
Jardine, who had six assists and only one turnover, then hit 3-pointers from the right side as the Orange closed the game with a 19-3 surge. Jardine also hit a layup and another 3 from the top of the key to key the rally.
Jeremy Lamb scored 18 points for Connecticut (15-9, 5-7).

Rashida Jones Wants To Know Why Everyone's Getting Naked
While Jones may lament this new naked era we've found ourselves in, she also wants to make it clear that she is not judging or slut-shaming. She also wants us to know that she's not a prude — but rather, she feels that all of the messages have become homogenous. "Every star interprets 'sexy' the same way: lots of skin, lots of licking of teeth, lots of bending over," she wrote. "I find this oddly...boring. Can't I just like a song without having to take an ultrasound tour of some pop star's privates?"
She was so incensed by the whole thing that she let loose on Twitter — perhaps a little too loose. She tweeted out "This week's celeb news takeaway: She who comes closest to showing the actual inside of her vagina is most popular. #stopactinglikewhores." And, naturally, the responses were less than kind or understanding. Rashida may have confidence in the fact that she's a card-carrying feminist, but that never stops the haters.
On a positive note, the backlash caused her to think about what really needs to be done in the pop culture industry. She asks everyone from record execs ("When you market young pop stars, can you please try to apply some of your own personal moral parameters? I'm just going to assume you don't take off your suit mid-meeting and do a selfie with a whipped-cream bra.") to male fans ("Please talk to us about how all this makes you feel. You are 49 percent of the population; don't sit around and let women beat one another up while you intermittently and guiltily enjoy the show.") to change their attitudes. You may not agree with everything she says, but there's no denying that she's got an impressive head on her shoulders. (Glamour)
