General Questions
How do I know if I am a transfer student? [TOP]You are a "transfer student" if you are thinking about a career which requires a bachelor's degree, and you wish to begin your studies at a community college or tribal college and then transfer to a university to complete higher level courses for a bachelor's degree. To find out if your career requires a bachelor's degree, see a high school counselor or a community college academic advisor.
I'm undecided about a major and university, can I still get started? [TOP]Yes! Many students find their careers by taking "general education" courses first. General education includes a wide range of traditional knowledge and skills and is part of community college transfer programs and university bachelor's degrees. The community colleges and tribal colleges in Arizona have developed a package of these traditional courses called an "AGEC:" the Arizona General Education Curriculum.
Should I complete an associate's degree before transferring to a university? [TOP]It depends on the career or major you are thinking about. For some programs you are advised to complete one of the AGECs, then transfer to a university. For other programs, completing an associate's degree is beneficial. In all cases, the best advice is to speak with an academic advisor or counselor about the details of the major you have in mind.
I am a high school student. What information do I need? [TOP]If you are a High School student who plans to start at a community college and finish at a University, you should know about the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) degree. There are three transfer degree programs which include the AGEC: the Associate of Arts degree (AA) which includes the AGEC-A, the Associate of Business degree (ABus) which includes the AGEC-B, and the Associate of Science degree (AS) which includes the AGEC-S. Be sure to visit the High School Portal to learn more about Dual Enrollment and how your exam credit will transfer!
Do I need to take a foreign language as part of my major? [TOP]It depends on your major and university. The first place to check is the Major Guides which list several kinds of information, including how many semesters of second language proficiency are required. If you do not find your particular major in the Major Guides, then consult the Degrees and Pathways list. It is always an excellent idea to meet with an academic advisor or counselor to be sure.
I am an AAS student or graduate - what are my options? [TOP]Students who complete an AAS (Associate of Applied Science) degree from a regionally accredited U.S. postsecondary educational institution are eligible to pursue a BAS (Bachelor of Applied Science) program at an Arizona public university offering the degree. Generally, a student who has completed an AAS degree will receive at least 60 credit hours applied toward the BAS degree. Students should explore the range of BAS concentrations/specializations available and the admission criteria at each university to identify programs compatible with their AAS degrees. The BAS is designed specifically for students who have completed AAS degrees. Students admitted to the university having completed other types of Associate degrees may be admitted to the BAS program at the discretion of the admitting institution, pending an evaluation of the degree curriculum in relation to BAS requirements. Learn more.
Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC)
What is an AGEC? [TOP]Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) is a 35 semester-credit lower division general education curriculum block that fulfills the lower division general education requirements at ASU, NAU or U of A. The courses in an AGEC are similar to the areas required for a high school diploma or a GED [General Education Development]: (1) English Composition,(2) Mathematics, (3) Arts and Humanities,(4) Social and Behavioral Sciences, and (5) Physical and Biological Sciences. Many community colleges and tribal colleges also include a sixth area which contains such courses as speech, foreign languages, and computer science.
Are there different kinds of AGECs? [TOP]Yes. There are three AGECs which correspond to the careers you are thinking about. If you are considering art, music, or theatre, or the humanities (such as literature or philosophy), or the social and behavioral sciences (such as history, political science, psychology, or sociology), then you should think about completing an AGEC-A (Arts). If you are thinking about a business career, then the AGEC-B (Business) is the place to begin. If you are considering a career in the sciences (such as biology, physics, chemistry, geology, or pre-med), then start with the AGEC-S (Sciences).
Is the AGEC a transfer degree? [TOP]No. The AGEC is only one component of the transfer programs at community colleges and tribal colleges. There are three transfer degree programs which include the AGECs and whose names correspond to the different kinds of AGECs: the Associate of Arts degree (AA) which includes the AGEC-A, the Associate of Business degree (ABus) which includes the AGEC-B, and the Associate of Science degree (AS) which includes the AGEC-S.
How many credits are there in an AGEC and associate's degree, and how many credits transfer? [TOP]The AGEC-A and AGEC-B are 35 credits; the AGEC-S, because it allows for additional math and science credits, can range from 35 to 38 credits. The three transfer degrees (AA, ABus, and AS) typically are 64 credits; that number includes an AGEC, major courses, and elective courses. The universities will generally accept up to 64 credits (semester hours) from the community and tribal colleges. This does not include remedial or developmental coursework.
Are there some majors that don't accept the AGEC? [TOP]If you successfully complete one of the AGECs at your community or tribal college, your admission to any Arizona public university is guaranteed, and your lower-division general education requirements will be satisfied. However, there are some majors for which it doesn't make sense to do all your lower-division general education requirements in the first two years. These majors often have so many course prerequisites, and course sequencing requirements at the lower division that you really need to start working on the major within your first year. You should work with your advisor to find the best ways to meet your transfer goals.

Cedarhurst Elementary School Reviews
Cedarhusrt is a community
This school is one of the best schools I have ever subbed at. Everyone is happy and ready to be there. It's a nice community as well as school. YOU are an example of what schools should be like!
This school is rated the best in the district for their PBIS system in positive behavior management. I love this school! =)
This school has way to many fights. There was allways a fear of being picked on and bullies were extremely common. Unless you had the right friends, you were easily fought with and sent to the principle's office daily for things you didn't do. If your child is currently attending this school, look out for them because the enviorment there is deadly.

So what exactly's going to happen to Forum and "The Program"?
I'm sure by now everyone knows that Burton has dropped Forum, Foursquare, and Special Blend.
My question is, what exactly does this mean? Are they going to remain their own companies (possibly be bought out by someone else?), or are they going to be non existent? :eek:
This personally saddens me, because I've always loved Forum boards and who can forget their past teams and films?
I hope that if they do get bought out, that they don't become another M3, Lamar, Morrow type story. I would rather see them end with some dignity than to become a cheap bundle type brand sold on amazon or big box stores.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Fans coming to the Cedar Rapids Kernels game on Thursday evening will get a "bonus" military performance not often seen in Iowa.
The U.S. Air Force Honor Guard Drill Team from Washington, D.C. will do a pregame performance starting around 6:00 p.m. The 12-member team performs a series of close-order drills with World War II-era M1 rifles. Those rifles come equipped with bayonets so a slip of the wrist while tossing or twirling comes with more than the normal degree of risk.
MSgt Scott Slindee said each service has a demonstration drill team. The one from the Air Force is the most recent winner of the competition between services.
Members performed in Davenport on Wednesday and go on to Omaha for an air show after the demonstration Thursday night in Cedar Rapids.

ORCHARD MESA, Colo. Another report of sharp objects on a Grand Valley playground came in this weekend, making it the third reported incident of its kind in the past month for this area.
Jasmine Niederkruger said her 11-year-old nephew brushed his finger against a slide at Lynwood Park on Orchard Mesa Saturday and ended up cutting it on a fish hook.
"It was sitting straight up, so if a kid was to go down the slide, they would've just cut their leg open," Niederkruger said.
She said her husband then found three more fish hooks taped to the same slide Sunday.
Although parks crews haven't seen any dangerous objects themselves, Mesa County Parks and Facilities maintains Lynwood Park and it's teaming up with the Grand Junction Parks and Recreation Department to increase safety patrols from 2-3 days a week to every day.
"We are taking these reports very seriously and we're working with the city of Grand Junction and see if we can find out who's doing this. It's just unbelievable that somebody would want to hurt our children like that," said Greg Linza, for Mesa County Parks.
Parents should visually check playground equipment and mulch before their children play. They can also get onto the equipment with young children to spot any dangers that might be in their child's path.
If anybody does find a suspicious object, call 911 to report it immediately and warn others in the area.

Janay DeLoach Soukup
Age: 28
Height: 5-foot-5
Weight: 130 pounds
College: CSU
Hometown: Fort Collins
Career highlights: 2012 Olympic bronze medalist in long jump; 2013 USA Outdoors champion in long jump; 2011 and 2012 USA Indoors champion in long jump; 2012 IAAF Indoor Championships runner-up in long jump; 2014 USA Indoor Championships runner-up in 60-meter hurdles; 2011 USA Outdoors runner-up in long jump
Janay DeLoach Soukup says shes still a long-jumper, which isnt good news for world-class hurdlers.
Thats because Soukup, a bronze medalist in the long jump at the 2012 London Olympics, is fast becoming one of the worlds top hurdlers.
The 28-year-old Soukup, a former CSU athlete, beat a star-studded field to win the 60-meter hurdles Feb. 15 at the Millrose Games in New York. Sunday, she turned in the second-fastest time in the world this year, 7.82 seconds, while finishing second at the USA Indoor Championships in Albuquerque, N.M.
Nia Ali, who won in 7.80, is the only hurdler to have run a faster time this season and one of only 19 women in the world to have ever run the race faster than Soukup.
I think I even shocked myself a little bit with the level of competition I was able to hang with, Soukup said Monday after returning home to Fort Collins. Im proud of where I am and how far Ive come along, and I just hope I can continue to get better.
Although Soukup has trained for the hurdles and long jump for the past several years she finished third in the hurdles at last years U.S. indoor championships shes put a little more emphasis on competing in the hurdles while taking time off from the long jump to allow an ankle she injured last summer to heal. A competitive heptathlon, in which she had to long jump, a few weeks back convinced her to hold off a little longer.
Shes good enough in the hurdles already to earn a spot in the world indoor championships March 7-9 in Sopot, Poland, where she will be one of the top title contenders.
Soukup doesnt yet have the technical skills of the world-class hurdlers shes competing against, said her coach, Colorado State University assistant Tim Cawley. But the qualities that have made her one of the worlds top long-jumpers continue to serve her well.
Mostly what shes doing is off pure athleticism and power, Cawley said. Shes that strong. Shes that quick. And then theres her competitiveness. She always gets off to a quick start and does fine over the hurdles. But once somebody catches her, the hurdles look great, but she still needs to learn to run technically well and with just as much power when someones not there to push her as she does when someone is there.
For now, shes a hurdler. One of the best in the world.
I dont think its unrealistic to think I can go out there and medal, Soukup said. A medals a medal, whether I get it in the long jump or the hurdles.

New Gay Version of the King James Bible
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind in the temple of Molech: it is an abomination," is just one of the many revised passages in the new version of the King James Bible—the Queen James Bible. The updated version of the bible readdresses homosexuality and provides an inclusive reinterpretation of the scripture. The version, which was released by an unknown publisher, editor, and translator, is available on Amazon.com. "Anti-LGBT Bible interpretations commonly cite only eight verses in the Bible that they interpret to mean homosexuality is a sin; Eight verses in a book of thousands!" says the website. "The Queen James Bible seeks to resolve interpretive ambiguity in the Bible as it pertains to homosexuality: We edited those eight verses in a way that makes homophobic interpretations impossible." [D429]
Check out a few of the revamped passages after the jump…
Genesis 19:5
KJV: And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? Bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
QJV: And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? Bring them out unto us, that we may rape and humiliate them. (Page 21)
Leviticus 20:13
KJV: If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

State and local Missouri lawmakers are united in our desire to stop the abuse of methamphetamine in our communities. It is important, however, that we go about it the right way.
A history of prohibitive policies has led us to the point where black markets are specializing in the manufacture of these dangerous synthetic drugs. Continuing to ramp up our efforts unintentionally continues to increase the negative impacts of drugs in our state - violence, theft, addiction and the damage to our families. It empowers those criminals who will disregard any additional prohibitions we come up with.
Right now, the Springfield City Council is considering a measure that would require all citizens to obtain a doctor's prescription before buying cold and allergy medicines containing pseudoephedrine. I'm opposed to this measure because I don't believe it will address Missouri's overall meth problem. Consider the fact that according to the Drug Enforcement Agency, 80 percent of the meth found in the United States comes from Mexico - a country that banned pseudoephedrine in 2007. The agency tells us that sophisticated and relentless Mexican drug cartels supply drug dealers in St. Louis and other major U.S. cities. Through this network, Mexican meth is able to reach every corner of the United States.
So, while a prescription requirement wouldn't address the largest source of meth, it would create additional burdens for law-abiding Missourians. Not only would a prescription mandate be a big hassle (longer wait times at the doctor, forced time off work), it would lead to higher health care and fuel costs. Nobody wants that.
Missouri workers and families already have enough government in their lives. A prescription requirement for popular cold and allergy medicines is a step too far, and in the wrong direction.

I recently took in a filly who wasn't being cared for she's 2 yrs old and she's cow hocked and in the front hooves she's clubbed my farrier said he could help her but her clubbed feet worry him. The previous owners trimmed her feet themselves and had NO idea what they were doing they said calling a certified farrier out was unnecessary. She walks and runs just fine she jumps and plays out in the pasture just fine no limp or signs of pain. She's not cow hocked by birth but because of lack of hoof care. So my question is what if the farrier can't help her has any one had a horse who was like this that could live a good quality of life? What are yalls comments/opinions on her? I've never had a clubbed foot cow hocked horse before and I'm fine with her just being a pasture mate if that's what it came down to.

|Riluzole protects from motor deficits and striatal degeneration produced by systemic 3-nitropropionic acid intoxication in rats.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 9300407 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The putative neuroprotective effect of riluzole was investigated in a rat model of progressive striatal neurodegeneration induced by prolonged treatment (three weeks, intraperitoneal) with 3-nitropropionic acid, an irreversible inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase. Quantitative analysis of motor behaviour indicated a significant protective effect (60%) of riluzole (8 mg/kg/day) on 3-nitropropionic acid-induced motor deficits as assessed using two independent motor tests. Furthermore, quantitative analysis of 3-nitropropionic acid-induced lesions indicated a significant 84% decrease in the volume of striatal damage produced by 3-nitropropionic acid, the neuroprotective effect apparently being more pronounced in the posterior striatum and pallidum. In addition, it was checked that this neuroprotective effect of riluzole against systemic 3-nitropropionic acid did not result from a decreased bioavailability of the neurotoxin or a direct action of riluzole on 3-nitropropionic acid-induced inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase. We found that riluzole significantly decreased by 48% the size of striatal lesions produced by stereotaxic intrastriatal injection of malonate, a reversible succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor. Furthermore, the inhibition of cortical and striatal succinate dehydrogenase activity induced by systemic 3-nitropropionic acid was left unchanged by riluzole administration. The present results, consistent with a beneficial effect of riluzole in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, suggest that this compound may be useful in the treatment of chronic neurodegenerative diseases.

Buying activity in the microcap / penny stocks has dried up to levels typically only seen in the middle of summer. This is abnormal (and disturbing) even for this time of year. Demonstrates the level of frustration and anxiety with investors right now. This is attributable to tax loss season, fiscal cliffs, and the weak economy - but it is difficult to pinpoint anything specific.

This site is a mix of personal information and interests and pretty much anything I decide to write about or share. If you have not been here in awhile you will notice the site has changed quite a bit. I dumped the old Webpage format and went to the Blog format. This makes it easier to post on any topic I feel compelled to at anytime. I do maintain two other blogs which is where most of my writing goes but they are on more specific topics.
Switching From Iphone to Android
My wife and I just made the switch to 'Samsung Galaxy Note 4s' after years of being IPhone users. We loved the iPhones up until they would slow down and start having issues when the next new model came out. Not being able to expand memory was another issue. We decided it was time to try something new. We were originally just looking for a new smart phone, but once my wife saw the Note 4s large screen, she loved it. I liked the expandability and the S-pen and the large screen as well.
We are still learning a lot about the differences and getting them on the 24th was a good move as we got some extra time to play with them. If your thinking of making a similar move, there are a few things you should know before moving from an iPhone to an Android device. There are tons of articles that touch on most of this, and I have read a few of them. This is my take and what I recommend you do "Before" making the switch – you know the whole 20/20 thing…
Turn off Imessage:
This was one of the most frustrating items we encountered during the transition and wish the Verizon rep working with us would have passed this tidbit on. iMessage is an IOS to IOS device messaging system. If your phone is using iMessage, you need to turn it off before trading in or porting your number. If you don't, it could be weeks before your friends or family members can message you. It takes awhile for the Apple servers to stop routing messages through their iMessage server. They may not even realize that their messages are not being delivered for days until they finally get failure messages.
If you forget though, there is hope. You can call Apple support 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466) and work through it with them. They are very helpful and friendly, even Christmas day when we called. You will need your IMEI number when you call.
If you don't have your old phone or just want to skip the support call, you can go to the following website and manually deregister the phone.
Backup to Itunes or Icloud
Be sure you do a full backup of your phone on iTunes or iCloud. Itunes may be better, if your maxed on space. Be sure to transfer your app purchases. I had best results with the iTunes backup.
Email your notes or Transfer to Gmail
I had little luck with transferring notes with the Samsung Apps. The iCloud version transferred to Snotes, but they lost all formatting. The windows Samsung app would not transfer them at all. I went with Gmail option, but I am still working on getting them in to an App I am happy with.
Do the switch
When doing the deal, you may opt to trade in the phone, which my wife did. (I plan to sell mine on Amazon or open market). The phone store can typically transfer contacts for you, or just wait until you get home and use the SmartSwitch App.Download Samsung SmartSwitch on your Android Phone from the Play Store and to your PC from Samsung's Website.
If you make the switch, good luck and enjoy your new phone!

Scientists say the average temperature for the United States is about 57 degrees Fahrenheit, more than 3 degrees above the 20th century average.
According to the Boulder Daily Camera, scientists don't know if the U.S. will break the record of about 2 degrees above average recorded in 1934 because the year is not over yet.

1994 Saturn SW2 • 150,000 miles
My son just bought a 94 sw2, Automatic tranny. When driving and you slow down, the check engine light comes on and it does not shift into third.(Kinda like limp mode) If you pull over and shut the car off then restart it. Its fine for a few. It does only happen after the car warms up. Also when you put it into reverse you have to step on the gas in order for it to engage in to it. Checked the codes when light was on and had code 23 (no 3rd gear I believe). Any idea would be a great help' Thanks.

Sounds like you have a issue with the pressure regulator valve in the transmission. Thats very common on those when the pressure becomes too low you will get a delay or no reverse till you give the engine gas. It will also cause the transmission to slip and set incorrect gear ratio codes indicating a slipping clutch pack. The first thing you need to do is buy a transmission pressure gauge test kit if your going to fix this yourself. You will also need a air compressor to air check each gears clutch piston and the reverse servo piston. Otherwise you will have to take it to a transmission shop and usually theywant to take it apart and rebuild the transmission before testing anything.

Thanks for the response. I'm currently in college for Automotive but dont have much experience with diagnosing transmissions. I have access to a transmission pressure test kit and know how to use it. What should it read and is there a step by step site I can go to on how to test the gear clutch pistons? Thank you so much!
Jan 9, 2012.
Jan 9, 2012.
I can help you thru all the steps lets start by checking the pressure. First remove the air box in front battery bellow that you will see the transmission filter. Right next to the filter is the transmission temp sensor its little. Unscrew the temp sensor and remove it then screw in the transmission pressure gauge tester adapter. Then start the engine and make sure there are no leaks. It should read about 60psi. Then pull the line pressure actuator fuse it should read a min of 175psi but most of the time will read well over 200psi. If it reads bellow 175psi give it a little throttle see if the pressure raises over 200psi. Let me know what you find.

For my second rig this was the case I decided to go with, I was on air but desired the ability to upgrade to internal WC in the future, and I'm perfectly pleased with the decision to grab this. The whole setup is just a well throught design, from easy to access hard drive sliders, plenty of room in the 5.25" bays, choice of where to keep power supply, ventilation holes galore. Not many cases can comfortably hide WC loops, this gives the user plenty of space to not just install, but work with the loop without bashing your knuckles on interior parts. A nice touch was including a set of quality castors that allow it to rest higher on the floor and easily roll around when needed, but not to take off on it's own.
The only small issues I've had with it are the fact the interior is still gunmetal grey, this is one case that a powder coat on the inside is sorely needed, and the pre-drilled hole for a fillport is poorly located if you are like me and enjoy having your DVD/CD drive on the upper most part of the 5.25" drive bays. I would never hesitate to grab another one for future builds.

I spent a day and a half in Helsinki (read about the outbound flight here) before moving on to Stockholm. I tried very hard to like Helsinki, but I couldn't really find anything remarkable about it… the downtown area is quite small, and to me it just didn't have the 'big city' feel that Copenhagen had had. My hotel, the Scandic Marski, was right on Mannerheiminte (a main shopping street passing through the center of town) so I was able to walk through most of the downtown area, visiting the enormous Stockmann department store and the even bigger Kamppi shopping center.
I was able to try avantouinti, or ice swimming, while I was in Helsinki. It wasn't actually ice swimming since there wasn't any ice, but the water was still extremely cold, and I followed it up with a sauna. It was well worth the shock of the cold water – I slept like a baby that night.
The following morning I got up before dawn, packed up and dragged my suitcase over to the Rautatientori, or central railway station, to catch the Finnair bus back to Vantaa Airport.
Helsinki Vantaa Airport
Sunday, November 26, 2006
After a 35-minute drive through the soggy-looking Helsinki suburbs, we got to Vantaa right as the sun was coming up; the weather was still rainy and murky, so there wasn't much of a sunrise to see. The bus dropped us off at Terminal 2, which handles mostly Schengen flights and forms the 'elbow' between the original Terminal 1 and the smaller domestic terminal:
A view inside Terminal 2 – it's very modern inside, with check-in desks around the perimeter, although this early in the morning it was pretty dead:
After checking in I still had about an hour before my flight, so I cleared security and spent some time exploring the terminal. There wasn't much happening out on the airfield, although there were a lot of RON aircraft still parked on the remote stands and at many of the gates. A320s belonging to Air France and Lufthansa were boarding for Paris and Frankfurt respectively, and this Blue1 MD90 was going to Oulu:
One of the ubiquitous Finnair A320s getting ready for a domestic flight:
A few gates down, the E170 I'd be taking to Stockholm had arrived at the gate:
All of the terminals are connected airside, so it's possible to walk between every gate (except a select few which are used for intercontinental flights and are separated by a passport control.) This is the departure hall of the original terminal:
I stopped off at a snack bar and picked up a sticky bun and cup of coffee for breakfast. The HEL-ARN flight was only scheduled at about 45 minutes, so I wasn't sure if we'd get anything to eat or drink, but in my haste to catch the bus I hadn't made time to get breakfast. When I arrived back at our gate, boarding was just starting, so I joined the queue and filed aboard the aircraft.
Finnair Flight AY635
Helsinki Vantaa (HEL) – Stockholm Arlanda (ARN)
Departs HEL 9:30am, arrives ARN 9:30am
Embraer E170, seat 16A
Flying time: 50 minutes
This was my first flight aboard an E170 and I was eager to check out the little plane. I'd heard really good things about it in other trip reports. I didn't find the seats to be as comfortable as those on Finnair's A320, but the legroom was more than adequate. It was also surprising to see how much the plane felt like a regular mainline aircraft. Typically when I hear "Embraer" I think of the little ERJ jungle jets that I've flown from Chicago O'Hare so many times, so the spaciousness of the E170 was a nice surprise.
The flight was almost completely full and included a large party of Japanese tourists. As a matter of fact, I saw lots of Japanese visitors during my brief stay in Helsinki – they must like Finland. It's a pretty short flight for them, I guess. Rain had begun to fall harder as the crew finished up the boarding:
We pushed back about five minutes behind schedule and as we taxied out, the flight attendants conducted the safety briefing, which was read first in Finnish, then in Swedish and in English. The E170 taxied past the terminal, but due to the rain on the window none of my pictures came out.
We made the lengthy taxi out to runway 4L-22R, Helsinki's newest runway, which opened a few years ago. It's spaced far enough apart from 4R-22L to allow simultaneous operations, although traffic seemed slow enough this morning that I wondered why we weren't assigned the closer runway. Noise abatement, maybe? We seemed to be the only plane moving around on the airfield.
The E170 turned onto 22R and made a nimble takeoff to the southwest, disappearing into the gloom almost immediately after the wheels left the ground. I guess I'll have to wait for my next visit to see anything of Finland from the air!
Eventually we broke out into the early morning light – I was starting to think that maybe flying is the only time Scandinavians get to the see the sun:
Once we reached our cruising altitude and leveled off, the cabin crew began their service. To my surprise, we received a snack despite the short duration of the flight, followed by a choice of beverage. The snack was almost identical to the one I had the day before – a small ham sandwich, tub of water and candy bar:
We hit some serious turbulence shortly after the meal service – strong enough that the captain came overhead and made a garbled announcement in Finnish, which I assume was telling the crew to sit down (they all sat down right afterward.) The bumps lasted maybe three or four minutes, but once they stopped, I noticed the clouds below us were starting to thin out. A few minutes later, the clouds vanished altogether and I had a beautiful view of the Baltic Sea down below, along with a series of islands off the coast of Sweden:
The flight was very short – basically a quick hop over the Baltic. The crew cleared away our rubbish as the captain announced our descent into Stockholm. We passed over more and more islands and then the Swedish mainland came into view – a rolling blanket of pine forests, broken only by an occasional farmhouse, radio antenna, or completely empty motorway slashing across the landscape:
Although the sunshine was beautiful (I hadn't seen the sun in about five days), I was seated on the wrong side of the plane, and for the entire descent I had serious glare coming off the window and the wing, so much so that a lot of my pictures didn't come out, especially during final approach. I wasn't sure which direction we'd be coming into Arlanda from, but with the sun on my side of the plane I guessed it was from the north or the east. Either way, the approach to Arlanda is basically over open countryside – aside from the odd house or string of power lines, I saw nothing but forests and lakes during final approach:
It was sunny but windy – we were rocking all over the place as we winged lower and lower over the Swedish countryside, finally skimming over some marshland and touching down on Arlanda's runway 26, rolling basically to the end of the runway before turning off in front of the terminal area. I was sitting on the "good" side of the plane for a view of the terminals, but once again the sun made taking pictures a little difficult. First up was Pier F, where an SAS A330 had just arrived from either Chicago or Newark and two company 737s were resting as well:
Around the corner was the older international Terminal 5, with a Lufthansa A320 and another SAS 737:
A Swiss A320:
Thailand is a big vacation destination for Scandinavians, so Thai 747s visit both Copenhagen and Stockholm:
Next up was Terminal 4, which handles Swedish domestic flights from SAS, FlyNordic and FlyMe:
Finally we passed Terminal 3 (which mostly handles domestic commuter flights) and turned into the fairly modern Terminal 2, which serves European flights from a variety of airlines, although many European airlines also use Terminal 5. Terminal 2 was deserted except for a single FlyNordic MD80:
Pulling into the gate:
The engines wound down, the jetbridge was connected, and one of the ground crew made a fast announcement in Swedish (presumably about which carousel we should claim our luggage from or something.) I filed off the plane and into the antiseptically clean terminal, which was suitably modern – in keeping with the Scandinavian airport trend – heading for baggage claim:
Once outside the secure area I went down an escalator to the Arlanda Express train, which is frightfully expensive but gets you to Stockholm's Central Station in about 20 minutes. The trains are extremely modern and comfortable, and once they leave the tunnel under Arlanda Airport they literally step on the throttle, and the Swedish landscape basically flashes by in a picturesque blur for the next 15 minutes, when you slow down to come into the city. We passed through some towns along the way – Upplands Vasby and Sollentuna were the only two signs I could read as we blasted through – but the train doesn't stop in any of them.
I spent a day and a half in Stockholm – the weather was gorgeous and the city itself is amazing… probably one of my favorite, if not my favorite European city of the ones I've visited so far. It's expensive, but not as pricey as I was led to believe, and it's small and very walkable. I'll have some pictures in the final part of my report.
That's it for now… I'll cover the last section (a Stockholm-Copenhagen flight with SAS and my return trip to the States with British Airways and American) in the final installment, which I'm still putting together. Stay tuned until then!

Wind-whipped sugar cane is seen near Delcambre Thursday after Hurricane Isaac's pass over south Louisiana. By Leslie Westbrook August 30, 2012
- Filed Under
RAYNE - Endless rows of 2-foot withered plants line a field here, the dried brown leaves looking especially feeble next to vibrant green rice fields. At first glance, the wilted plants appear dead. But on each stalk there hangs soil-colored pods protecting perfect, light-yellow soybeans, ready for harvest.
In an instant, the plants are gone, devoured by the blades of a combine driven by fourth-generation farmers and brothers Paul, Philip and Fred Zaunbrecher. They maneuver the farm vehicles effortlessly through the field, the roaring combines spitting crushed stems and leaves onto the ...

Ohio police kill triple shooting suspect at Cracker Barrel
Woman, young girl killed, another young girl in hospital
Associated Press
BROOKLYN, Ohio — Police shot and killed an armed man at a Cracker Barrel restaurant in Ohio where a woman and a girl had been killed and another person was wounded.
Authorities said a woman called 911 from the restaurant Thursday night, saying her husband was upset because she told him she was leaving him.
Officers heard gunshots when they arrived and saw an armed man leaving the restaurant in Brooklyn, Ohio, near Cleveland.
Police Chief Scott Mielke says officers shot him when he refused to surrender. The wounded person was taken to a hospital.
Police couldn't immediately say Friday morning whether the other victims were shot or describe any relationship between the victims and armed man.
Authorities have not yet identified the suspect and the victims.

Contents of the Demo
Description of the Sībawayhi Project Sībawayhi and the Kitāb About this Demo List of works in the Project Hints on getting the best out of the Demo New Developments Recent support from Oslo. ARC and NFR Grant Applications. New French translations of Chs. 1-7. Related pages (also links to Kitāb on other websites, Georgetown translation) Questions of Copyright and Access Go directly to the Base Text at Ch. 1, Ch. 285 or Ch. 565
Contacts and Feedback: michael.carter "at" usyd.edu.au
The project is (still) in a state of flux, and recent developments in Norway make us wonder whether it is still alive: some more chapters have been added (see New Developments) but the framework of the site as originally conceived may have broken down.
However, we have had a chance to correct a serious error in Base text. ch. 7 with some minor consequential changes, and a few other typos have been eliminated. Grateful thanks to our friends in Moscow for pointing out the mistake in Ch. 7.From now on the website will be mirrored on both the Sydney University site and the original Oslo University site, so it should not matter, for the time being, which one you log on to. We hope Google will find them both! However, it is only fair to point out that at the time of writing (Feb. 2009) the Oslo site is rather inactive, so you would do better to go to the Sydney site anyway.
Welcome to the second edition of the Sībawayhi Project. It is no longer exclusively based in Norway, but has opened another site in Sydney, where it is hoped to continue with the digitisation of further texts in tandem with our colleagues in Norway.For the time being there will be some instability in the documents and links as we move over to a Unicode font (see below), but in principle the contents are the same as those of the first edition. You may notice the website is called "Sibawiki" now: the reason is that we are hoping to make it interactive on the model of the Wikipedia. System Requirements:
This Demo of the first and the last seven chapters of the Kitāb of Sībawayhi in Hypertext was originally formatted for the Arabic Language Version of Internet Explorer 4.** which can be run on both Arabic and standard European versions of Windows 95, Windows 98 and NT 4. It also runs on Windows XP and 2000+ and Internet Explorer 5.** when the Arabic support option is enabled (for the transliteration font see below). All the files have now been converted to UTF-8, so it will be interesting to see whether any were overlooked (please let us know). The original and still preferred Arabic font is Ahkbar MT, but this is not the default font in Explorer, so if you know someone who has Windows 98+ or Word with Arabic you can simply import this font (regular and bold) from their WINDOWS\FONTS directory.The transliteration font is Gentium, which can be downloaded free from the Gentium page of the SIL International website. It is a far more attractive and versatile font than Times. Other Unicode fonts may work, but this has not been checked (in general the standard Unicode character set does not include all the symbols necessary for transliterating Arabic).
Bad news for Netscape and Mozilla users, especially Mac: it will be a while before this website can be successfully viewed in those browsers. Be patient. At present Netscape + Mac seem to handle the Western parts of the text (but you still need Gentium for the diacriticals); however, if you cannot persuade your machine to display Arabic characters there is nothing we can do for you.If the Arabic does not display, select "Fonts" or "Encoding" from the "View" menu and then select "Arabic [Alphabet] (Windows)".
This may mean that when you return to a non-Arabic page you may have to select "Western Alphabet" from the same menu in order to display correctly. Current versions of Windows Explorer seem to be able to handle two default languages/scripts
The Pilot Project was financed by the Norwegian Research Council and the Communication, Technology and Culture Initiative of the Hist. Phil. Faculty at Oslo University. In addition the Department of East European and Oriental Languages offered its own help and encouragement both with equipment and technical support personnel. To all these we here express our sincere gratitude. The hard work of scanning, initial marking up and general design was done by Alexander Matveev of the Department of Oriental Studies, St. Petersburg, with indispensable practical and personal assistance from the Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures at the University of Bergen. Part two of the Project was made possible by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation with a grant to Dr. Lutz Edzard, of Bonn, which was again generously supplemented by the Oslo University International Department, the Faculty of Humanities and the Department of East European and Oriental Languages. This more than doubled the amount of material we can offer. A follow-up grant from the Humboldt Foundation enabled us to make a thorough revision of the files (see New Developments). The site is now accommodated in two places, in Oslo and on the Arts Faculty Research website of Sydney University.

Comedic great Sid Caesar passed away yesterday at the age of 91. If you have never seen his comedy, you missed out on a brilliance that was truly dazzling. A talented musician and gifted performer, Caesar mixed highly intellectual comedy with an incredible ability to pantomime, act, and draw laughter on virtually every subject he expounded upon. He worked with the all-time comedic giants, including close friends Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Nannette Fabray, Steve Allen, Howie Morris, and just about anyone you can name from the early and classic days of live comedy television. His Your Show of Shows was a 90 minute sketch comedy show that is as funny sixty years after its broadcast as it was when first aired. His award-winning comedy sketch, which is a close-up of his face (and in which he does not utter a single word) as his wife (the beautiful Nannette Fabray) comes home from a shopping trip and explains the great bargains she has gotten on her dresses and minks, ends with a tear running down his cheek. He was admired and emulated by virtually every comedic actor of note that followed him.
The Dick van Dyke Show, a situation comedy from the 1960s which starred Carl Reiner as the acerbic star of the fictitious Alan Brady Show, was based on Caesar's talented group of comedy writers from Your Show of Shows, with Alan Brady loosely parodying Caesar's own personality.
Caesar starred on Broadway and had dozens of movies to his credit, none more memorable than his starring role in Stanley Kramer's 1963 comedy epic It's a Mad, Mad, Mad. Mad World. He was a Coast Guard Veteran of World War II, and the son of Jewish (Polish and Russian) immigrants, who got his performing start as a saxophonist in the Catskills.
He and his brand of intellectual humor will be missed. So long, Melville Crump, DDS.

Pacific Wins the 2013 Mid-Pacific Civil Engineering Competition at San Jose State
Pacific's civil engineering students last week built more than roads, bridges and buildings. They built a reputation for winning at the 2013 Mid-Pacific Civil Engineering Competition.
Students won first place in the GeoChallenge, first place in Mini Games, and second place in the Water Treatment competition on their way to a first place overall prize. Pacific beat out University of California, Davis, for the overall prize by a point and University of California, Berkeley by five points.
"It is noteworthy that we can compete against top tier schools, such as UC Berkeley and Tongji (University in Beijing), one of the most prestigious universities in China," said Scott Merry, an engineering professor and the American Society of Civil Engineers Student Chapter adviser. "This obviously speaks well to the quality of our program - not only the students, but the faculty, staff and facilities."
Pacific was represented by 46 undergraduate students, five faculty members, and eight alumni at the April 18-20 competition hosted by San Jose State University and Santa Clara University.
"The activities are part of the American Society of Civil Engineers Mid-Pac conference and link the concepts learned in the classroom to design and fabrication of practical, yet competitive models that represent real-world engineering systems," said Merry. "The competitions emphasize lessons in teamwork, communication, and risk and reliability of systems."
There are 12 other universities in the Mid-Pac Conference beside Pacific and the host universities, including University of California, Berkeley, University of California, Davis, Stanford University in the United States; and Tongji University, Tsinghua University, and Hong Kong University.
Merry said that students received trophies for the victories "and - mostly importantly - bragging rights. Also, schools placing in the top one or two (in three of the competitions) get the opportunity to represent our region at the national championships, where students can collect additional trophies and bragging rights."
Pacific engineering students took third place overall in 2011 and again the following year, so the team was motivated to take the top prize this year, Merry said.
The GeoChallenge entailed building a simulated mechanically stabilized earth wall that is then subjected to a series of static and dynamic loads, said Merry. There is a national championship on the line, said Merry, and the Pacific team is striving to attend the February competition in Atlanta.
Pacific engineering students made a strong showing against the field of 12 teams competing in the Water Treatment challenge. The goal was to come up with a plan to treat local wastewater after a large flood has damaged the treatment facility. The system has to be designed to make the water clean enough that it could be discharged into Monterey Bay. In the subcategories, Pacific students earned first place in Design Paper, fifth place in Technical Presentation, third place in Filter Loading, and fourth place in Water Quality Testing.
"We cleaned up" said Merry of the MiniGames, a series of games from tug-o-war and volleyball to concrete bowling and ultimate Frisbee. "We won everything except the watermelon eating contest (second place). This led to a lot of points, but it isn't the entire reason we won. Our students performed well in all the competitions they entered."
The 2014 Mid-Pac conference will be held at California State University, Fresno and will be co-hosted by Pacific.

December 1, 2015
CHICAGO (AP) - A new report says energy drinks are under-studied, overused and can be dangerous for children and teens.
Doctors writing in the medical journal Pediatrics say the dangers include heart palpitations, seizures, strokes and even sudden death.
The ill effects are caused mostly by too much caffeine or similar ingredients. Some cans have four to five times more caffeine than soda.
The authors want pediatricians to routinely ask patients and their parents about energy drink use and to advise against drinking them.
The report says energy drinks often contain ingredients that can enhance the jittery effects of caffeine or that can have other side effects including nausea and diarrhea. It says they should be regulated as stringently as tobacco, alcohol and prescription medicines.

unlock(..) {
if (!isValid(..)) throw new RecordNotFoundException(); // checked
if (!isLocked(..)) throw new RecordNotLockedException(); // runtime

I'm sure that many developers use this style not only in lock, but in delete(), update() etc. But I'm not sure about this issue:
unlock(..) {
if (!isValid(..)) throw new RecordNotFoundException(); // checked
if (!isLocked(..)) throw new RecordNotLockedException(); // runtime
<unreachable, since isLocked(..) fails>
unlock(..); // manager or static member - whatever
As the result caller gets RecordNotLockedException(or no exception - depends on implementation style). But the record is already deleted, so RecordNotFoundException had to be thrown. Possible solutions: lock entire database, lock concrete record, leave as is. Any comments?
If your sequence is correct, I am not sure of why there is check for isLocked or isValid in unlock?
Originally posted by Gytis Jakutonis: The problem is how should we interpret following statements: Any methods that throw RecordNotFoundException should do so if a specified record does not exist or is marked as deleted in the database fileLocks a record so that it can only be updated or deleted by this client. So what should happen, if client breaks locking policy(second statement), e.g. tries to unlock record without owning a lock(or update or delete record, whatever). If client breaks locking policy then you should document in your design decisions that on such a condition(client breaking policy), application will not run as expected. It is beyond the scope of project to deal with issues as client breaking some afore said rules. Also many people write in their design choices that if client does not follow any policy like locking or any other policies mentioned in their design documents, then it is not guarenteed that application runs properly as expected. And they passed with good scores too. Good Luck.
Originally posted by Gytis Jakutonis: Hi Satich, thanks for your reply. While waiting for an answer I came to the same conclusion, so you post removed all doubts. Maybe I can solve in the same fasion(by documenting) another issue: isLocked(recNo) can return false(instead of throwing RNFE) then the record is deleted while isLocked() result reaches a client(because that client does not own a lock, so another client can delete the record at any time). I really do not understand what's going on here. If isLocked(recNo) is given in instructions its OK. What I do not understand is after calling isValid() to check whether record is valid or not, then why is isLocked() throwing RNFE? My understanding is that isLocked() only checks if the record is locked or not. If this is the given signature then I might be wrong as I do not have any methods of that sort. Anyway coming to the point in question. The sequence you mentioned above is not clear to me. Sorry about that. Here's what I think you were saying:
Step I: Client 1 calls isLocked()
Step II: isLocked() returns false
Step III: While false reaches client 1, client 2 deletes record
(No co-relation here, I think. If isLocked() returns false, then it means
that record is not locked and client can lock the record right? Why is it
travelling back to client?)
And vice versa - RNFE can be thrown but at the time it is catched, record may become valid(i.e. reused by create(..)). Should I leave implementation as is and just document these options, or maybe there are some other solutions to these issues? Thanks. [/qb] This is OK. For example:
Client 1, client 2, client 3, client 4 wants to delete record, read
record, create record, read record respectively.
One scenario might be like this. Client 1 deletes, client 2 gets RNFE,
client 3 creates record at same physical position as record deleted by
client 1, then client 4 reads record.
So you document the case as above.

E-A-SKI nets a film festival prize — with a little help from Danny Glover
MUSIC E-A-SKI has been in the game nearly 20 years, producing tracks with then-partner CMT for Spice 1's eponymous 1992 debut on Jive Records and subsequently working with the likes of Master P, Ice Cube, and even Dr. Dre. He's also maintained a career as a rapper. Yet despite several local radio hits and four major-label deals Priority, Relativity, Dreamworks, Columbia he's never released an album. The deals have always soured, yet the astute businessman has always made money on them, as his professional-grade studio in the middle of a huge house hidden beyond the Oakland Hills attests.
I've come by for a private screening of SKI's new video, "No Problems," the first single from The Fifth of Skithoven, an album he plans to release next year through his own label, IMGMI. If "private screening" sounds highfalutin', "No Problems" is no ordinary clip. It's a six-minute film, directed by Wayans Brothers associate Michael Tiddes, that recently won an award for best music video at the 13th Okanagan International Film Festival in Kelowna, British Columbia.
"I didn't just want to keep putting videos out there," SKI explains. "I wanted to do something more cinematic to express the music."
A John Woo-like allegory of rap integrity, "No Problems" finds SKI battling to reclaim his soul from the Devil, wagering the contents of a mysterious Pulp Fictionesque briefcase that he can do it. The "x-factor," as SKI puts it, is the actor playing the gravel-voiced, gangsta Devil: Danny Glover. After meeting years ago in activist circles SKI frequently mentors inner-city youth the two recently reconnected when they found themselves members of the same gym. Despite the demands of Glover's schedule (seven films currently in post-production, according to imdb.com), the Lethal Weapon star made time for the shoot.
"I did it 'cause SKI kept bugging me," Glover laughs during a quick phone call. "No, seriously. I respect what he does with Oakland and the community, and I thought it'd be fun." Judging by his over-the-top supervillain meltdown as SKI emerges triumphant, Glover had plenty of fun with the role.
"It was an honor for him to even want to be in a hip-hop project," SKI says. "I did my first line with him and just froze, like, 'This is Danny Glover!' I ain't gonna lie, I got star-struck! And I've done a lot of stuff."
It's hard to imagine a tongue-tied E-A-SKI, but then again, even Frank Sinatra looks intimidated alongside Marlon Brando in Guys and Dolls (1955). Getting Glover in his video is exactly the type of rabbit SKI consistently pulls out of his hat to keep himself relevant in a genre in which artists usually have short self-lives. Even on his own independent label, SKI routinely places videos on MTV, most recently 2009's "Rare Form" by IMGMI-signee and Frontline-member Locksmith. Although there's a trailer for "No Problems" on MTV's movie blog, and SKI plans more film festival screenings, the video remains unreleased.
"I want to make its debut a big thing," SKI says. "Like MTV showing the trailer, having a build up, then boom! a Jam of the Week. We have a relationship, so they're open to it. But it's still in the works because I'm trying to see what's best for my album."
Like a rap Paul Masson, SKI will serve no wine before its time, and Skithoven is no exception, though he's already lined up tracks with the likes of Tech 9ine, Freeway, and Ice Cube (whose upcoming I Am the West [Lench Mob] includes a bonus track produced by SKI). "It's like a puzzle," he says.

|Coronary computed tomography angiography.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21743316 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Significant limitations exist for traditional noninvasive cardiac imaging with regard to equivocal or indeterminate findings that result in repetitive testing or unnecessary referral to invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Recent hardware and software advances in multislice computed tomography angiography have achieved high spatial and temporal resolution to allow accurate noninvasive assessment of coronary arteries. This poses a paradigm shift in management of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). RECENT FINDINGS: Multicenter studies showed that coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has a very high diagnostic accuracy, and, in particular, a very high negative predictive value (>98%) in detecting coronary stenosis when compared with ICA. In addition to its diagnostic ability, recent evidence-based outcome data have also validated the value of CCTA in predicting cardiac events. Absence of CAD on CCTA conveys excellent prognosis, whereas increasing disease severity and extent are associated with worsening outcome. Furthermore, CCTA allows comprehensive assessment of coronary stenosis, plaque burden, left ventricular morphology, function, perfusion and viability. One concern with CCTA is the issue of ionizing radiation exposure. Recent technical progress allows dramatic reduction of radiation dose. The newest generation scanner is capable of producing CCTA of diagnostic quality with a dose of less than 1 mSv. A multisociety guideline for appropriate clinical indications for cardiac computed tomography was recently published. SUMMARY: When used appropriately, CCTA has been established as a valid noninvasive imaging alternative to ICA in selected patients at low to intermediate risk of CAD.
