Requires the date command. This also works with some other comics. Here's a bash script that displays daily Garfield, Id, and Andy Capp:
I wasn't sure how to display the image, so I thought I'd try xml for a different twist.
Same thing just a different way to get there. You will need lynx
This function displays the latest comic from xkcd.com. One of the best things about xkcd is the title text when you hover over the comic, so this function also displays that after you close the comic.
To get a random xkcd comic, I also use the following:
xkcdrandom(){ wget -qO- dynamic.xkcd.com/comic/random|tee >(feh $(grep -Po '(?<=")http://imgs[^/]+/comics/[^"]+\.\w{3}'))|grep -Po '(?<=(\w{3})" title=").*(?=" alt)';}
This bash function uses albumart.org to find the cover for an album. It returns an amazon.com url to the image.
Usage: albumart [artist] [album]
These arguments can be reversed and if the album name is distinct enough, it may be possible to omit the artist.
The command can be extended with wget to automatically download the matching image like this:
albumart(){ local x y="$@";x=$(awk '/View larger image/{gsub(/^.*largeImagePopup\(.|., .*$/,"");print;exit}' <(curl -s 'http://www.albumart.org/index.php?srchkey='${y// /+}'&itempage=1&newsearch=1&searchindex=Music'));[ -z "$x" ]&&echo "Not found."||wget "$x" -O "${y}.${x##*.}";}
A function that takes a domain name as an argument
This function uploads images to http://omploader.org and then prints out the links to the file.
Some coloring can also be added to the command with:
ompload() { curl -F file1=@"$1" http://omploader.org/upload|awk '/Info:|File:|Thumbnail:|BBCode:/{gsub(/<[^<]*?\/?>/,"");$1=$1;sub(/^/,"\033[0;34m");sub(/:/,"\033[0m:");print}';}
That makes a function you can put in your ~/.bashrc to run it when you need in any term with an IP as argument
Not my script. Belongs to mathewbauer. Used without his permission.
This script gives a single line as shown in the sample output.
NOTE: I have blanked out the IP address for obvious security reasons. But you will get whatever is your IP if you run the script.
Tested working in bash.
Yeah I know it's been up here a million times, but this service is a really clean and nice one. Nothing but your IP address on it. Actually I was to write something like this, and noticed this on appspot... ;)
Alternative to the ping check if your firewall blocks ping. Uses curl to get the landing page silently, or fail with an error code. You can probably do this with wget as well.
miss a class at UTOSC2010? need a refresher? use this to curl down all the presentations from the UTOSC website. (http://2010.utosc.com) NOTE/WARNING this will dump them in the current directory and there are around 37 and some are big - tested on OSX10.6.1
Uses curl to download page of membership of US Congress. Use sed to strip HTML then perl to print a line starting with two tabs (a line with a representative)
This will log your internet download speed.
You can run
gnuplot -persist <(echo "plot 'bps' with lines")
to get a graph of it.
Checks the Gmail ATOM feed for your account, parses it and outputs a list of unread messages.
For some reason sed gets stuck on OS X, so here's a Perl version for the Mac:
curl -u username:password --silent "https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom" | tr -d '\n' | awk -F '<entry>' '{for (i=2; i<=NF; i++) {print $i}}' | perl -pe 's/^<title>(.*)<\/title>.*<name>(.*)<\/name>.*$/$2 - $1/'
If you want to see the name of the last person, who added a message to the conversation, change the greediness of the operators like this:
curl -u username:password --silent "https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom" | tr -d '\n' | awk -F '<entry>' '{for (i=2; i<=NF; i++) {print $i}}' | perl -pe 's/^<title>(.*)<\/title>.*?<name>(.*?)<\/name>.*$/$2 - $1/'
Type the command in the terminal and press enter to create the tweet() function. Then run as follows:
tweet MyTwitterAccount "My message goes here"
It will prompt you for password. Make sure that you use escape "\" character in message for showing varialbles or markup.
Use `zless` to read the content of your *rss.gz file:
zless commandlinefu-contribs-backup-2009-08-10-07.40.39.rss.gz
If you are downloading a big file (or even a small one) and the connection breaks or times out, use this command in order to RESUME the download where it failed, instead of having to start downloading from the beginning. This is a real win for downloading debian ISO images over a buggy DSL modem.
Take the partially downloaded file and cat it into the STDIN of curl, as shown. Then use the "-C -" option followed by the URL of the file you were originally downloading.

ZF-12367: Zend_Validate_File_MimeType tries to load incompatible magic.mime file
The class tries to load incompatible magic.mime (since PHP 5.3.11 there is a new libmagic version), causing errors thrown by magic, for example: finfo_open() [function.finfo-open]: Warning: string extension `B' invalid and about thousand more similar to this one.
A simialr issue was mentioned in this ticket: http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-10461, but it never got fixed. I suggest that solution from Jarek Nowisz should be included in ZF 1.11. I tested it and it works.
"Beginning with version 5.3.0, finfo is part of PHP and uses internal magic file, ZF should not try to load it."

Mayor Williams and the City of Wilmington Welcome the King and Queen of Sweden to Wilmington; Download Parking and Transportation Map
Posted on 05/10/2013 2:35 pm
Download the Dravo Plaza and Fort Christina Swedish Jubilee Celebration parking and transportation map.
It is with great honor and privilege that Mayor Dennis P. Williams and the City of Wilmington respectfully welcome their Majesties King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden, the Speaker of the Parliament of Finland, Mr. Eero Heinäluoma and his wife, Ms. Satu Siitonen-Heinäluoma.
The visit of their Majesties is truly an experience of a lifetime, and an extraordinary honor for the City of Wilmington and the State of Delaware. The royal visit is in honor of the 375th anniversary of the first European settlement in the Delaware Valley, and the royals will celebrate with our local community on May 11, 2013.
In 1638, the first permanent European settlers of Delaware landed the Kalmar Nyckel along the Christina River. This settlement spawned the Swedish colony known as New Sweden, which spanned the Delaware River from 1638 to 1655. Fort Christina, located in our own City of Wilmington, was the very first settlement. The City will celebrate and pay tribute to these historic events with a "Welcome to Wilmington" celebration on Saturday, May 11th.
The community is invited to attend Saturday's "Welcome to Wilmington" celebration and greet Their Majesties. The celebration will be held at the Riverfront Wilmington, Dravo plaza, and will be an afternoon of festivity and fun for the entire family as there will be food, activities and exhibits to honor the rich Swedish heritage.
Mayor Williams, and the City of Wilmington, invite you to join us, as we await the arrival of the King and Queen of Sweden and the Finnish Delegations. This will be their Majestie's first public appearance in Wilmington.
The "Welcome to Wilmington," event will begin at 12:00p.m. and conclude with the Royals sailing to Fort Christina on the Kalmar Nyckel at 4:00p.m. Residents are called to act with dignity, respect and humility as we welcome our founding fathers home.

Franklin Public Library to host teen CreateSpace event
Franklin —Franklin Public Library encourages teens to "get your felt on" from 1-3p.m. on Wednesday, July 6 for a new CreateSpace event where Teen Librarian Keri Whitemore will teach participants how to create cute animal creatures out of felt.
The event is for students in grades 7 through 12. Participants will learn how to make a psychedelic bunny head, fox, squirrel, snail, and many more different animals through a process called needle felting.
Wool fibers have scales, which when rubbed against each other catch and lock into place. Needle felting uses a barbed needle to interlock the wool fibers and transform them into condensed material, which can be used to create three-dimensional figures.
Registration is not required for this workshop, and it is free of charge.
Oak Creek baseball team wins fourth straight GMC title
They were the kids who came in as freshmen right after the 2012 WIAA state champions graduated, the ones who faced down all the history that four state championships and a host of conference titles brings.
But this current 10-person senior class of the Oak Creek baseball program has lived up to expectations so far. They finished off their fourth straight Greater Metro Conference champoionship with an impressive 11-1 six-inning win opver Brookfield Central Thursday night.
Now they want to take it a step further, and join the 2012 group and the three other classes that hosted the ultimate trophy at the end of the season in saying that they are worthy of being mentioned as among the best in school history.
If they do, it'll be because they continued to do the day-by-day things, the simple, mundane things. Doing those things will help make accomplishing the bigger, more difficult tasks still coming easier and more satisfying.
As of now, that's the path the Knights are on, said outfielder/pitcher and four-year letterwinner Matt Hamilton.» Read Full Article
20,000 pounds of cheese stolen in Oak Creek
Oak Creek —In a cheesy caper, 20,000 pounds of cheese was stolen in a semi truck trailer June 30.
The trailer was parked at the 7900 block of 27th Street near Drexel Avenue and was left for a few hours while the driver "ran some errands," according to Captain Mike Bolender of the Oak Creek Police Department.
When the driver returned, the all white, unmarked, refrigerated semi trailer was gone. It was reported missing at 2 a.m.
The cheese was a variety of different types from U.S. Foods and is valued at a little over $46,000.
The police department are "looking at several leads" and "looking at all different angles" Bolender said. Security cameras are one such lead the police are pursuing.» Read Full Article
Franklin resident one of the first to use new heart monitoring device
Franklin —Franklin resident Carol Gulczynski is one of the first patients in southeast Wisconsin to use new health technology for heart failure.
The new device, called CardioMEMS, is a pulmonary artery pressure censor device the size of a paper clip that gets implanted in patient's hearts. It's a new step toward proactive health care, meaning that doctors can help patients before they actually get sick. Instead of waiting for signs that someone is experiencing heart failure, the device catches important pressure changes in the heart that may eventually lead to the patient needing to be hospitalized.
For Gulczynski, this allowed her to cut down drastically on hospital visits. Before getting the device, she was hospitalized twice in the span of six months, but 11 months after she got the device implanted last July, she has not been admitted once.
"It's a world of difference," Gulczynski said. "I know that I am being watched every day...and they'll let me know if they're is any problem. My children, they can't get over it, it's just so great."
Before, the only way to monitor heart pressures was a right heart catheterization, an invasive screening that was neither time or cost effective. The new device is able to check fluid levels and pressures daily, and Gulczynski doesn't even have to leave her home.» Read Full Article

Extra patrol has been placed in the area to deter any further damage to the area.
Franklin to celebrate 60th anniversary
Franklin — Almost exactly 60 years ago, Franklin officials were hiding in barns, marking the beginning of Franklin's process to become a city.
In June of 1956, the city of Milwaukee filed a petition to annex Franklin, which the people of the town wanted to avoid. In an attempt to evade this fate, city officials went into hiding so that they could avoid being served papers. If the papers were not delivered within a certain span of time, then Milwaukee could not continue the process of annexation.
Franklin won the game of hide-and-seek, and soon after, officials headed off to Madison to make Franklin an incorporated city.
Now, six decades later, Franklin will celebrate its 60th anniversary during the civic celebration Fourth of July weekend.
As a part of the celebration, four of the city's former mayors, Tom Taylor, Pat Murray, Fred Klimetz, and Mark Miazga, will be riding on a float in the 4th of July Parade, and July 2 the city will have an additional fireworks show at dusk in honor of the city's anniversary.» Read Full Article
Referendum will be held to decide fate of Forest Park Middle School
Franklin — The Franklin School Board has decided voters will decide the fate of Forest Park Middle School.
But whether voters will be asked if the school should be lightly or heavily modified or perhaps entirely replaced by a new building has not been decided.
Board members voted unanimously June 22 to bring the issue to a referendum, given the current problems and limitations at the middle school.
"Inefficiencies in the learning environment, security, the life span of some building systems, and planning ahead for the future educational needs of the community combined with the valuable input from the survey led to the consideration to go to a referendum," School Board President Janet Evans said.
According to a survey conducted by Community Perceptions, 62 percent of Franklin residents would support the district exploring a referendum to update Franklin Park Middle school at this time; 23 percent of residents responded no to the question, and 16 percent reported they were "undecided."» Read Full Article
Franklin continues to explore implications of Ballpark Commons project
Franklin —Franklin City Council will continue to explore the feasibility of a Tax Incremental District (TID) for the area of the proposed Ballpark Commons.
The council voted Tuesday, June 28 to extend the contract with Ehlers & Associates, who conducted the preliminary TID funding feasibility study, for tax incremental financing services related to the development. The TID, if made effective, would allow the city to use additional taxes gained from the development to fund infrastructure changes the plan required.
At the meeting, Mayor Steve Olson stressed that the city has not officially approved the project or any tax changes.
"This is a first report on financial viability of the project," Olson said, explaining that they will continue to explore the many implications of the project.
The development team is continuing to adapt the project plans to meet the conditions put in place by the council for the proposal, and has completed 10 out of 40 so far, according to a report by Planning Manager Joel Dietl.» Read Full Article

Franklin approves new self-storage facility on 27th street
drive-in storage facility proposed for 27th street, on the property that was previously Hobby Lobby, but with conditions at the meeting June 28.Franklin —The Franklin Common Council approved the
Highland Development Ventures, who will own the property, will have to add additional landscaping to the site, add architecture detail on the outside storage building, and verify their hours in the resolution.
Residents of the area had expressed concerns at the plan commission meeting June 9 about the appearance of the building, along with concerns about potential noise and light pollution.
However, Alderman Kristen Wilhelm, the representative of the district where the storage facility will be located, said that the outside storage building should be able to block the sound and the extra landscaping should make the property more visually appealing.
"It (conditions to the plan) has brought the current warehousing facility up a few notches that the residents can be satisfied with," Wilhelm said.
Franklin's Chmielewski inducted into UW-Oshkosh Hall of Fame
Simply put, recent University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Athletic Hall of Fame inductee Kay (Mikolajczak) Chmielewski makes juggling career, marriage, motherhood and the occasional marathon and basketball tournament look so easy that the Franklin graduate can scarcely believe the multitude of honors she has earned.
"This was not on my radar at all," she said of this past spring's induction. "I was at an alumni event (last fall) talking with the sports information director when he told me to be ready, that I was going to get a call about this (the hall of fame) soon.
"And I said, 'Excuse me?'"
But she shouldn't be so incredulous.
The 6-0 Chmielewski came out out of the first golden age of Franklin girls athletics. She was the rebounding machine and all-important second threat on the late Christine Rathke-led 1999 WIAA state runner-up girls basketball team. Later that spring, she was a key long sprinter on the WIAA state runner-up girls track team coached by former Saber Athletic Director Don Kurth.» Read Full Article
Oak Creek baseball team passes big test, ready for GMC stretch run
The Oak Creek baseball team has passed many tests en route to a one-game lead with just three contests left in the Greater Metro Conference race.
What it hasn't had a lot of time for is a great deal of high-level nonconference action, so the Knights made a road trip to a place where they haven't been since 2005, a place where even the legendary Tony Butler proved to be mortal.
Knight baseball coach Scott Holler could only smile at the memory.
"The last time we were at Rennicke Field (in Mequon), Tony (Butler) was playing first base, and a ground ball went through his legs, and we lost," Holler said, laughing.
The comment came shortly after the Knights put together a solid effort on Jun. 24, especially on the defensive end, in their return trip to Rennicke, with a 7-3 decision over a good Homestead team.» Read Full Article
HCFD raises around $5,000 to donate to Operation Finally Home
Hales Corners —The Hales Corners Fire Department "filled the bucket" with around $5,000 Friday, June 24 to donate to Operation Finally Home, an organization that builds homes for wounded veterans.
Off-duty firefighters and their families stood on the corner of Highway 100 and Grange in Hales Corners with buckets, asking drivers to donate to Operation Finally Home, who is currently working toward building a home for a veteran in Waukesha.
According to David Belman, a contractor who works with Operation Finally Home, the organization tries to get most of the materials for the house donated, but monetary donations are still needed to cover the price of additional materials and labor.
Wes Guajardo, captain at the Hales Corners Fire Department, says that "Fill the Bucket" is just one of the ways HCFD shows their support to the military.
"It allows us to help those who served, or their families, by giving them a home," Guajardo said.» Read Full Article

Here's the good news: "Many claims that are initially rejected are paid after the first appeal," says the Access Project's Mark Rukavina. Follow these steps to win this critical battle:
> Ask for a written copy of the denial That way you'll be able to address your insurer's objections point by point in your letter of appeal.
> Watch the clock You have only a certain amount of time to appeal the denial; the cutoff date is indicated in your denial letter. No matter what, do not miss the deadline.
> Enlist some help Contact HR to see if your policy covers the disputed treatment; if it does, a complaint from the department to the insurer typically carries additional weight. Ask your doctor to write her own appeal letter (to be attached to yours); for maximum effect, tell her why your claim was rejected, so she can better justify her recommendation, suggests Erin Moaratty of the Patient Advocate Association.
> Craft your appeal with care Your mission: to convey, in a factual, unemotional tone, the reasons thetreatment is truly "necessary." It's crucial that you state every conceivable reason, because if you later go to court, you won't be able to add to the arguments raised in this appeal. (Sample letters are at patientadvocate.org.) Besides your letter, your packet should include your doctor's letter, relevant medical records and any other documents that support your case.
> Consider further action If your appeal is rejected, you can submit a reconsideration to the insurance company. Or you can request an external review. Mandated in most states (find your insurance commissioner at naic.org) and standard policy at some insurers, an external review will bring in an outside company or a state review board to take an unbiased look. (This third party cannot, however, override limits in your policy.) If that fails and the cost of the procedure you need or have already paid for is substantial enough, you may decide it's worth hiring a specialized lawyer to take the insurance company to court.

Top-Ranked Tiger Defense Pitches 19-0 Shutout, Remains Perfect In Ivies
In one end zone was Spenser Huston, the starting left tackle who had just taken a throwback 15 yards for the game's opening score. In the other, there was defensive standout Caraun Reid, tackling Mark Kachmer for a safety to outscore the Brown offense on his own.
Everywhere in between, Princeton played its best football game in years.
Princeton snapped an Ivy League record 162-game scoring streak by Brown and stayed unbeaten in Ivy League play with a 19-0 victory in front of 6,482 at Powers Field at Princeton Stadium. The Tigers, once projected to finish eighth in the Ivy League, now join Harvard and Penn as the lone unbeatens in league play.
Princeton outrushed Brown 194-17 and held Brown to only 3-of-15 on third down conversions in the win. A significant chunk of the rushing defense came from Princeton's six sacks, including 2.5 from Reid. Princeton had nine tackles for loss in the game, including two more from Ivy League leader Mike Catapano.
While the defense continued its stellar play, it was the offense that brought the crowd to its feet first, and it came from a most unexpected source. After an eight-play drive brought the Tigers into the Brown red zone, starting quarterback Connor Michelsen rolled right before stopping, turning and throwing across the field to Huston.
The two things Huston saw were teammates and the end zone. He ran it in for a 15-yard score, which he later called the first touchdown of his career at any level, to open a 7-0 Tiger lead. Princeton took the next drive 74 yards on eight plays, and freshman kicker Nolan Bieck capped it with a 21-yard field goal to open a 10-0 lead.
Holding Princeton out of the end zone seemed like a win for the Brown defense, but a disastrous two-play scenario that followed built both the lead and the excitement for Princeton, which has now won three straight games for the first time since the 2006 Ivy League championship season.
First, Bieck's kickoff was fielded just short of the goal line, but the returner got confused by his spot on the field and downed the ball at the 1. One play later, a handoff to Kachmer was tackled six yards deep by Reid, the first-team All-Ivy defensive lineman.
Princeton would get one more touchdown from the gritty Will Powers, who led the offense with 14 rushes for 57 yards. He scored from eight yards out in the third quarter, but it was a 37-yard run on 3rd and 21 that kept the Tigers in control of field position all day.
Well, it was that and an overwhelming defense, which hasn't allowed a touchdown in eight quarters of Ivy League play this season. The Tigers forced three turnovers, including interceptions by Anthony Gaffney and Phillip Bhaya, and limited Brown to five plays or fewer on 10 of its 15 possessions.
It was clearly an inspired effort for teammate Khamal Brown, who was lost for the season after an injury at practice Tuesday night. Brown asked to wear his jersey while watching the game, and teammate Tom Moak delivered him the game ball afterwards.
Senior Mandela Schaffer led the defense with nine tackles, including eight solo stops, while junior Alex Polofsky had eight stops and a fumble recovery. Gaffney had five solo stops to go along with his interceptions and another pass breakup, while Ivy League tackle leader Andrew Starks had six tackles.
Michelsen completed 13 of 22 passes for 156 yards, while senior Shane Wilkinson led the receiving corps with three catches for 34 yards. Senior tight end Mark Hayes caught two passes for 40 yards, but it was an athletic 34-yard grab over a Brown defender that put Princeton in position for its second score.
Princeton will remain home next Saturday to take on unbeaten Harvard at 1 pm. The game will be shown live on ESPN3, the online platform for ESPN, and can be heard live on 103.3 FM or GoPrincetonTigers.com.

ZF-2606: Adding htmlentities() in createElement()
i always got this warning when using Zend_Feed,
PHP Warning: DOMDocument::createElement(): unterminated entity reference irec=1
it happens when the feed entry has "irec=1", so the entry is truncated on that part. I read in PHP Manual (http://php.oregonstate.edu/manual/en/…), and i found out there's something must be add in Zend/Feed/Element.php on line 209.
I tried to change this line 209 into :
$node = $this->_element->ownerDocument->createElement($var, htmlentities($val));
i added htmlentities(), and the warning is gone, and the entry is not truncated.
So you guys should add this htmlentities() i think,
Setting priority for release and assigning for review.
This issue should have been fixed for the 1.5 release.
This doesn't appear to have been fixed in 1.5.0. Please update if this is not correct.
Fixed in trunk (r18567) and in 1.9-release branch (r18568)

Graduate Programs
Back to Program List | Program Website
Education and Human Services - Educational Leadership: Classroom Teacher Programs (Library Media)
IntroductionIn addition to meeting requirements for admission established by the School of Graduate Studies (these requirements can be reviewed at this Web site http://www.wright.edu/academics/catalog/grad/admissions/), candidates for these degrees who do not meet the minimum cumulative GPA requirement to waive the GRE or MAT, must submit satisfactory Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or Miller Analogies Test (MAT) scores, unless otherwise noted (see Waiver of GRE/MAT).
All students considering graduate-level courses in education and human services should do so with the understanding that graduate study differs in quality expectations from undergraduate study. Graduate study requires that students be increasingly self-directed and possess strong analytical skills. Students are not guaranteed a masters degree by attending and completing courses. Exit requirements must be met in all programs.
Admission to the College of Education and Human Services is based on the candidates written statement of purpose, consideration of undergraduate and/or graduate cumulative grade point average, submission of satisfactory scores on either the MAT, GRE, and letters of reference.
Technology Policy
For admission to the college, all College of Education and Human Services students, graduate and undergraduate, part-time and full-time, will be expected to certify that they own or have access to a computer and the Internet.
In order to meet the mission of the college to prepare professionals to meet the educational, leadership, and human services needs of a diverse, democratic society, it is necessary for our students to play an active role in the technological environment the college and Wright State University are creating to assist in the completion of this mission. An increasing number of classes and options will become available to students using a variety of distributed learning formats; library resources are available in a growing number of full-text formats, and global connections via telecommunications will be part of daily operations. Students preparing to become professionals in education and human service areas must demonstrate appropriate and effective skills and knowledge in technological aspects of their work.
Minimum equipment requirements are recommended by Wright State Universitys Computing and Telecommunications Services (CaTS). Please check the following Web Site http://www.wright.edu/cats/purchase/pcguidelines.html for current information about minimum equipment requirements.
The college supports Macintosh computers in faculty and staff offices and maintains a computer lab. Wright State University has purchased a site license for most Microsoft software (see the Web page for Wright States Computing and Telecommunications Services, http://www.wright.edu/cats/ for details).
In order for an Ohio college or university to prepare educators for licensure by the Ohio Department of Education, we must demonstrate that we meet the standards of the National Council for Accreditation for Teacher Education (NCATE). Programs that meet NCATE standards are approved to prepare educators to hold licenses in Ohio. NCATE standards require that all programs that lead to an educator license (including administrators, teachers, school counselors, etc.) must document how our programs prepare our candidates successfully to meet the challenges of todays schools. This documentation must be uniform and systematic across all programs and licensure areas that the college offers. In addition, the college must show how faculty, staff and school partners utilize this information systematically to continuously improve our programs over time.
Since 2006 the college has utilized a data management system called Tk20 to collect key assessments to document the achievements of our candidates and programs. In order to do this, it is necessary for our faculty to ask students to submit certain assignments electronically. There is a one-time student fee of $100 to register for the Tk20 system. This system will be available to you and your professors for a period of seven years.
Admission Standards
Admission into regular status requires an overall undergraduate grade point average of 2.7 (based on a 4.0 grading system) or an overall undergraduate grade point average of 2.5, but with a 3.0 or better for the last 90 quarter hours (60 semester hours) earned toward the undergraduate degree. Admission into this status also requires approval by a degree program.
Candidates with a grade point average of less than 2.3 on a 4.0 grading system are not ordinarily admitted to graduate school. A petition process is available to formally request admissions not having met an admission standard. Candidates for admission to certain programs in the Departments of Educational Leadership and must meet additional requirements, which include letters of reference.
Waiver of GRE/MAT
Candidates to Educational Leadership masters degree programs, may not be required to submit passing GRE or MAT scores if their cumulative undergraduate GPA is a 3.0 or higher.
Under certain conditions, a student may be admitted provisionally (for one quarter only), pending receipt of credentials. If admission requirements are not met during the quarter in which a student was admitted provisionally, registration for future quarters will be denied and the student will lose graduate credit for any graduate courses completed during the quarter.
Students who have an undergraduate grade point average of 2.5 or better, or who have an average between 2.3 and 2.5 with 2.7 or better in the last half of undergraduate work, may be granted conditional admission.
Regular admission to the College of Education and Human Services is granted after successful completion of 12 hours of course work with a grade of B or better in each course.
Licensure Candidate
Students who wish to complete licensure requirements at the graduate level but do not wish to pursue a graduate degree may be admitted as licensure candidates with the permission of the department in which the programs are housed. Persons pursuing a library media specialist license are required to complete the Ohio Department of Education prescribed Praxis II(s) exam for their intended area of licensure.
Nondegree Status
Persons who have a bachelors degree may enroll in nondegree status for graduate courses without being admitted to a graduate program. If you are accepted into degree status at a later date, a maximum of one-half (50 percent) of the graduate hours required for completion of degree requirements may consist of applicable graduate courses completed in nondegree status. Students in a nondegree status are not considered candidates in a program.

|Each local educational agency that participates in the National School Lunch Program or other federal Child Nutrition programs is required by federal law to establish a local school wellness policy for all schools under its jurisdiction.
Local wellness policies are an important tool for parents, local educational agencies (LEAs) and school districts in promoting student wellness, preventing and reducing childhood obesity, and providing assurance that school meal nutrition guidelines meet the minimum federal school meal standards.
Wellness Policy - Helpful Links

- Monitoring
- Funding a Wellness Policy
- Joint Collaborators
Congress recognizes that schools play a critical role in promoting student health, preventing childhood obesity, and combating problems associated with poor nutrition and physical inactivity. In 2004, Congress passed the Child Nutrition and Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Reauthorization Act (Sec. 204 of Public Law 108-265). This act required by law that all LEAs participating in the National School Lunch Program or other child nutrition programs create local school wellness policies by School Year 2006. The legislation places the responsibility of developing a wellness policy at the local level so the individual needs of each LEA can be addressed.
In 2010, Congress passed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (Sec. 204 of Public Law 111-296), and added new provisions for local school wellness policies related to implementation, evaluation, and publicly reporting on progress of local school wellness policies.
On February 26, 2014, the proposed rule for wellness policies was published in the Federal Register. The public comment period closed on April 28, 2014.
Implementation Timeline
- As of School Year 2006-2007, all districts were required to establish a local school wellness policy.
- For School Year 2015-2016, LEAs are encouraged to continue reviewing and assessing their local wellness policies and implementing the new requirements. State agencies will be selecting between two options for the Administrative Review, and LEAs will be held accountable for local school wellness policy implementation, assessment, and public updates.
This portion of our site will continue to be updated to reflect the requirements of the 2010 law.

Supernova Quilt-Along: Let's Start Piecing
1. Remember the photos you took of your color progressions? You'll want to be able to reference those as you start piecing. Here's the photo for my first block.
2. Now get out the pieces you cut for the first block. Find your printed rectangles, and pull out one of each print. Then pull two 3" print squares in the corresponding prints, two solid background rectangles, and two solid background squares.
3. Mark the diagonal on each of your 3" squares. If you are using darker fabrics (as I am with my background fabric), you may need a light-colored marking pencil.
4. Now pair up the print squares with the solid rectangles, and the solid squares with the print rectangles, right sides facing. Important: Three of your marked diagonals should go in one direction, and one should go in the opposite direction, as shown above. Look at your color progression photo: The diagonal that goes in the opposite direction should always be a solid background square paired with the bottom print from your progression. It doesn't matter which direction your diagonals go in (although if you have directional fabric, check out the tips at the end of this post). The only thing that matters is that three go in one direction and the last one goes in the other.
5. Sew on the marked diagonal line. (You may want to pin your marked square onto the rectangle, to keep it from slipping around.)
6. Trim off the excess, 1/4" from your sewn line.
7. Press the whole unit flat (as shown above) to set in the seam, then carefully press back your newly-sewn triangle. Press seams open, using a dry iron. Steam can stretch and distort bias seams.
8. You will now have what essentially amounts to half of a flying-geese unit. (Be sure this half-goose unit still measures 3" x 5.5"—if it doesn't, it can affect the accuracy of your piecing as you continue.)
9. Repeat the process above with your other paired squares and rectangles, until you have four half-goose units.
10. Lay out your half-goose units, just like I did above. You'll start piecing with the two lower-left horizontal half-goose units, so pair up those two, right sides together.
11. This part can be tricky—matching up those angled, biased seams. To do that, I pin the pieces at each end, then flip down the top edge to see if the bias seams are lining up approximately 1/4" down, where the new seam will be. If it lines up (and it does in the picture above), put another pin right there in the middle and sew. If it does not line up, unpin your pieces and adjust accordingly. If you still find you're having trouble getting the seams lined up, you could always go the extra mile and baste the seams first. If it looks good after basting, sew again with a shorter stitch to make it permanent.
12. When you're done, you should have something that looks like this. Again, I pressed my seams open—in fact, I pressed all my seams open throughout the entire block. Seam-pressing is a matter of personal preference, so you could probably press to the side if you prefer, but I found pressing seams open to be more accurate, especially with the bias seams.
13. Now you'll be adding the vertical half-goose unit on the lower right. No worries about bias seams matching up on this one! : )
14. You should now have a pieced unit that looks like this. To complete the sub-unit, choose another 3" square from the pieces you cut for Block 1. I recommend choosing the top print (if you have 5 or 6 prints in your progression) or second or third print down (if you have 7 prints in your progression). I chose the yellow oval print shown above.
15. Sew your remaining half-goose unit to the 3" square, as shown above.
16. Join your final seam, again following the process in Step 9 to line up your bias seams. You should now have a completed sub-unit, measuring 8" square (6.5" square if you're using a jelly roll).
17. After you finish piecing this first sub-unit, make three more exactly like the first one. Use the same prints, same layout, and the same direction for your marked diagonals. You must stay consistent with the direction of your marked diagonals, or the seaming pattern created by this design won't be consistent. Now you should have 4 identical sub-units. (The only difference may be the orientation of directional fabric, as shown above with my yellow oval print—see below for more info on using directional fabric.)
18. Just turn each of your four sub-units 90 degrees—and ta da! You can see now how these sub-units will begin to make up your Supernova block.
NOTE ABOUT DIRECTIONAL FABRIC: If you are using any directional prints, keep the "X" formation shown above in mind, because you may need to orient your fabric differently depending on which part of the "X" you are piecing. I recommend laying out your pieces in the "X" formation shown above and piecing them from that layout, so you can easily see how your directional fabrics need to be oriented.
Repeat each of the above steps for all nine of your blocks. When you're done, you should have 36 completed 8"-square sub-units (6.5" square if you're using a jelly roll).
Next week, I'll be posting about how to complete the Supernova blocks. In the meantime, don't forget to post pictures of your progress in the Flickr group, and have fun!

Great instructions! Thorough, and understandable.
My *only* complaint is that, when I print them out, I get teeny tiny print. I have to print it out, so I can take the instructions to my sewing room. My office and sewing space are not collocated, so it's really not convenient to not have the instructions close at hand.
Is there any way we could talk you into creating a PDF version, where the text and images are large and clear? For those of us older quilters, who already need magnifiers to read... It would be a tremendous help! Thanks!

January Natasha Vasquez is a character in the HD Universe.
She is the daughter of drug lord Alfonso Vasquez, and a cocaine addict herself. She was born in Algonquin in 1986, and once lived in Mulholland with her mother before moving back (into her own $40 million, 23-room penthouse in Star Junction). She soon became a famous celebutante among Algonquin's party circuit, befriending Cloe Parker, Jill Von Crastenburg, Poppy Mitchell and Bruce Spade. She frequents Bahama Mamas, where she claims to have had "sexual relations" with an employee after hours. She has appeared on the game show "Are You An Idiot Bitch?", which she lost because she had never heard of the month January, and later believed it was named after her. She was ranked #2 among Rogue's "100 Sexiest Skanks" just behind Samantha Muldoon, and is currently filming an X reality show titled January Natasha Takes Vice Beach.
One possible inspiration for her character is Kim Kardashian - both are glamorous models and reality television personalities, and also both come from extremely wealthy families (Kim being the daughter of famous attorney Robert Kardashian). They are both described as full-figured, and her reality show is a parody of her sisters' show Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami.

Balance sheet
The balance sheet is one of four financial statements. It shows the financial position of a company as of the date issued. It lists a company's assets (e.g. cash, inventory, etc.) and its liabilities (e.g. debt, accounts payable, etc.) and shareholders' equity. Unlike the other financial statements, it is accurate only at one moment in time, not a period of time.
Expanded Definition
The balance sheet is the core of the financial statements. All other statements either feed into or are derived from the balance sheet. The income statement shows how the company's assets were used to generate revenue and income. The statement of cash flows shows how the cash balance changed over time and accounts for changes in various assets and liabilities. The statement of shareholders' equity shows how the equity portion of the balance sheet changed since the last one. Many analysts come to the balance sheet first to gauge the health of the company. It is often listed first on the quarterly or annual reports.
Basic equation
The basic equation of accounting is reflected in the balance sheet.
<math>Assets = Liabilities + equity</math>
If you look at a balance sheet, you'll note that the total assets always equals the total of liabilities and equity. This reflects what the company owns (assets) and how what it owns came about, through the funding given it by liabilities (borrowings) and equity.
The balance sheet is either laid out in a side-to-side manner, with the assets on the left and liabilities and equity on the right, or in a vertical manner, with assets listed first, then equity and liabilities.
Assets are listed in order of liquidity, starting with current assets (those which can be converted into cash within one full reporting cycle, usually one year) and starting those with cash, the most liquid of assets. As one moves down through the list, one comes across less liquid assets, such as:
- accounts receivable which must be collected from customers before they are cash, and
- inventory which must be converted into goods and / or sold before they become cash.
Long lived assets include plant, property, & equipment (usually net of accumulated depreciation), goodwill, long-term investments, etc.
Liabilities are listed in order of when they come due, starting with those due within an accounting period (usually one year), such as accounts payable and the portion of long term debt due within that period. Long term liabilities include borrowings from banks, bonds issued,
Finally, shareholder equity, is given. This includes:
- retained earnings (earnings not paid out as dividends or used to repurchase shares),
- stock at par value (the stated value of stock, such as $0.02 per share),
- additional paid in capital (what was paid to the company for its shares in excess of par value), and
- treasury stock (stock repurchased by the company on the open market, a negative number).
Things to remember
- Read the footnotes, as many, if not all, of the line items in the balance sheet are expanded upon with more detail there.
- Not all debt a company may be liable for will show up on the balance sheet. Always remember Enron!
- Different industries have different balance sheets, financial institutions being the most prominent example. Banks, for instance, show the deposits from their customers as a liability (which it is, the bank owes that money to the customers) and loans issued as assets. Both of these are debt obligations running in opposite directions, and belong in different portions of the balance sheet.
- Book value is a synonym for equity and is the "net worth" of the company (what it has left after all liabilities are paid from all assets -- go back to the equation above and solve for equity). However, if there is a lot of goodwill as part of the assets, well, you can't spend goodwill, so it's an "intangible" asset. Tangible book value removes goodwill and other intangible assets (such as intellectual property like patents) from the assets before subtracting out liabilities and is a stricter (more conservative) look at the net worth of the company.

Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Biogen Idec has ended development of its dexpramipexole for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease), after the drug candidate failed a pivotal Phase III clinical trial—though the company insisted that it remains committed to ALS research.
Dexpramipexole failed to demonstrate efficacy in primary and key secondary endpoints of the EMPOWER clinical trial, according to top-line results shared by Biogen Idec yesterday. The study's primary endpoint was efficacy in individual components of function or survival as measured by the Combined Assessment of Function and Survival (CAFS).
In addition to CAFS, the trial individually evaluated measures that included functional decline, survival, and respiratory decline. The company said it intends to present more detailed results at a future medical conference.
"As a physician who has treated people with ALS, I hoped with all my heart for a different outcome," Douglas Kerr, M.D., Ph.D., director of neurodegeneration clinical research at Biogen Idec, said in a statement. "While these results were not what we expected, we hope these data will provide a foundation for future ALS research."
EMPOWER was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that enrolled 943 people with ALS at 81 sites in 11 countries. Patients were randomized one-to-one to receive either dexpramipexole or placebo.
Eric Schmidt, an analyst with Cowen & Co., was reported last year by Bloomberg as estimating that dexpramipexole could generate as much as $1 billion annually for Biogen Idec. In a research note to investors, he said some 20 failed clinical studies examined ALS drug candidates.
To date just one drug remains approved for treatment of ALS, Sanofi's Rilutek (riluzole), which only slows down the disease, offering modest improvement for patients. The drug has been estimated to generate between $40 million and $50 million in annual sales, though in 2010, FDA approved a first generic version of Rilutek from India's Sun Pharmaceuticals.
On Dec. 19, a multiple-institution consortium of ALS researchers published results of 11 studies in Science Translational Medicine showing that transplantation of neural stem cells into the spinal cord of an ALS mouse model slowed disease onset and progression, improved its motor function, and significantly prolonged its survival.
And earlier last year, FDA granted its fast-track designation for Cytokinetics' ALS drug candidate tirasemtiv, which showed some promise in a pair of Phase II trials—specifically in measures of disease progression and changes in functional status (ALSFRS-R) and the clinical assessment of pulmonary function and endurance known as MVV. However, dexpramipexole also enjoyed promising Phase II results, prompting Biogen Idec to press forward with EMPOWER.
Biogen Idec highlighted several initiatives it said demonstrated its commitment to further ALS research. The company recently launched a research collaboration with the HudsonAlpha Institute and Duke University aimed at learning more about the disease's genetic causes, namely by sequencing the genomes of up to 1,000 people with ALS over the next five years.
The company also noted that it committed "significant" funds to the University of Massachusetts Medical School ALS Champion Fund, to support basic and clinical research into potential treatments for ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, Biogen Idec joined several top-tier academic research centers to launch a research consortium committed to identifying new treatment approaches to the disease.

If you want to use the SDL library (or any other library for that matter) in your programs, you normally would just link with the library, for instance by
-lSDL (GCC). Sometimes however, it would be more flexible to dynamically load the library at runtime. With dynamic loading, if your application supports alternative libraries (e.g.:
GLUT SFML as an replacement for SDL), it can discover and use available libraries at runtime. The system your program is running on, just needs one of those libraries installed and can switch them without the need to recompile your program. This technique is probably most commonly used to load plugins into programs at runtime.
Theres a helpful Wikipedia article about Dynamic loading, they even describe how to load the SDL library in their examples. Besides that, theres an old discussion about that at lists.libsdl.org and an article at eaten by a grue (when good libraries go bad). However I didn't find a complete example implementation for this, so I'm trying to create one with this article, although I'm not a very experienced C++ programmer.
The first thing to do is to load the library file, on POSIX/UNIX systems we do this with
dlopen(), on windows we use
LoadLibrary() and for closing
dlclose() and
FreeLibrary() respectively. The following code snippet for open/closing the library should work on both Linux and Windows systems:
#ifdef _WIN32
// [...]
#ifdef _WIN32
HMODULE libhandle;
libhandle = LoadLibrary("SDL.dll");
void *libhandle;
libhandle = dlopen("libSDL.so", RTLD_LAZY);
// ... dlsym() and GetProcAddress() calls ...
#ifdef _WIN32
You need to link your programs to the dl library for this to work (such as
-ldl in gcc).
The returned handle can be used to retrieve symbol addresses and then to convert them to function pointers. Theres
dlsym() on POSIX and
GetProcAddress() on Windows machines. The following code does that cross-platform for
SDL_Surface * (*p_SDL_SetVideoMode)(int, int, int, Uint32);
#ifdef _WIN32
p_SDL_SetVideoMode =
(SDL_Surface * (*)(int, int, int, Uint32)) GetProcAddress(libhandle, "SDL_SetVideoMode");
p_SDL_SetVideoMode =
(SDL_Surface * (*)(int, int, int, Uint32)) dlsym(libhandle, "SDL_SetVideoMode");
You need to look at the header files (
/usr/include/SDL/SDL_video.h) for the exact declaration (return and parameter types).
Theres a problem here, when casting from an void pointer that is returned by
dlsym() to a function pointer which is prohibited by the C/C++ ISO standards. I'm using a simple explicit (C-style) cast here and in practice, I not even encountered a warning with modern compilers.
Johan Petersson has written an article (When standards collide: the problem with dlsym) about that problem in Scatter/Gather thoughts, I want to quote:
You probably noticed that I omitted the C-style cast from my earlier example. Alas, most C and C++ compilers will allow the conversion when you use a C-style cast. You may not even get a warning, even though it's prohibited in ISO C as well as ISO C++. This kind of conversion is a common compiler extension. So common, in fact, that many people don't realize it's not in the standards.
The article is from 2004, I don't know if the current C/C++ standards had changed any of that.
In the last code snippet theres an redundancy that can be resolved by using a
typedef instead:
typedef SDL_Surface * (*Type_SDL_SetVideoMode)(int, int, int, Uint32);
Type_SDL_SetVideoMode p_SDL_SetVideoMode;
#ifdef _WIN32
p_SDL_SetVideoMode = (Type_SDL_SetVideoMode) GetProcAddress(libhandle, "SDL_SetVideoMode");
p_SDL_SetVideoMode = (Type_SDL_SetVideoMode) dlsym(libhandle, "SDL_SetVideoMode");
Thats everything you need to call that function:
(p_SDL_SetVideoMode)(...); The major problem here is that SDL has over 200 functions that "must" be declared and addressed this way. I've written a ruby script for Linux that does that for the SDL headers within
/usr/include/SDL, at first it reads the symbol names directly from the
libSDL.so shared library utilizing
nm, then it parses the header files for the function declarations found by
nm and generates the code for the pointer declaration and explicit casts (/dlsym calls) automatically.
I've created some example code that defines an abstract class
DLLoader and an implementation
DLLoaderSDL that includes an struct with the automatically generated function pointers etc. The test program loads the library and shows a SDL window for 3 seconds.
I've tested the program with GCC 4.5.0 (Linux), GCC 3.4.5 (Windows MinGW) and CL 14.0 (Windows VC++). I also added Makefiles for each of those compiler suites.
Update: I'm currently working on a new project that involves this dynamic loading and I've created a much more improved and flexible ruby script for parsing header files and built dynamic loader scripts:
Usage: src/dlib/dlib_generator.rb [OPTIONS] Parse shared library binary and headers to generate code for a dynamic loader. You need at least specify a name, a header file (or directory) and a prototype pattern. The binary options are optional, but can help to improve the result. Generator Options: -n, --name NAME The name used to identify the library -t, --template FILE Use FILE as generator template (Default: dlib_generator.tpl) -c, --config FILE Use FILE for configuration, overwrites other options -w, --write [FILE] Write generated code to FILE, in addition to stdout (Default file: CLibraryLoader#{options.name}.hpp) Need to be specified after name! -d, --define Create a C macro for each procedure -i, --include a.hpp,b.hpp List include header files. Library Header Options: -f, --header_file FILE Use FILE or PATH for header declarations -p, --header_path PATH -r, --file_pattern PATTERN Parse only files in header PATH that matches PATTERN (Default: \.h$) -R, --prototype_pattern PATTERN Use PATTERN to parse procedures, assumes three groups: Return, procedure name and arguments Library Binary Options: -l, --library FILE Shared library FILE parsed with nm for symbols -s, --symbol_prefix PREFIX Use symbol PREFIX to extract procedure names from shared library Miscellaneous: -v, --verbose Activates console messages -h, --help Show this message

Tiger Woods and his knee injury is, of course, a hot topic of discussion today after withdrawing from The Players Championship.
While many critics and pundits are speculating Tiger Woods is done, his injury problems have far less of an impact on his career than Grant Hill.
Tiger Woods' injury issues may prevent him from ever breaking Jack Nicklaus's record for 18 career majors. But if Tiger Woods never swings another golf club, he will still have an accomplished career.
The same can't be said for Grant Hill. Injuries derailed Grant Hill from ever reaching his potential in the NBA. Judging by Hill's college career at Duke and early days with the Detroit Pistons suggested Grant Hill was on track to be one of the elite forwards in NBA history.
But, well…Orlando Magic fans begrudgingly remember how the rest of that story finished. Grant Hill never fully recovered from a series of injuries and therefore never reached his potential in the NBA.
Despite his history with injury problems, 38-year-old Grant Hill became just the seventh player of that age to average a minimum of 13 points in the 2010-11 NBA season with the Phoenix Suns. Grant Hill's accomplishment puts him on the list with Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, Reggie Miller, John Stockton, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Robert Parish.
Don't get me wrong. Clearly, Grant Hill's career wasn't anywhere near the same ballpark as the above mentioned players.
But his accomplishment does make you wonder what the ceiling for Grant Hill's talent could have been had injuries not taken over.
What's worse? Never having the chance to reach your potential or reaching your potential and not being able to maintain it?

The role of the observer
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
"The meaning of a work of art is shaped by the artist's intentions as well as by the unique perspectives observers bring to the viewing experience. It is natural for art observers to seek answers to the question What is going on here? by reviewing their own past experiences and memories, in addition to looking for clues about what the artist is trying to communicate. The artist has used colors, shapes, textures, light and space to convey content in a representational or nonrepresentational format that may include symbolism and underlying themes. Knowledge of the artist's intended meanings may add to, but is not essential to, a viewer's recognition of forms and interpretation of a work of art. The meanings of an artwork emerge out of interaction between the artist's creative expression and viewer analysis."
As an observer in this case, my "unique perspective" is... "don't do it!"
While I celebrate the idea of an artistic rendering of a vague concept, I do not believe it appropriate in this case. What's wrong with a good 'ole bronze statue of a handful of guys all out in a bunch sprint?

Total elbow arthroplasty - discharge; Endoprosthetic elbow replacement - discharge
You had surgery to replace your elbow joint with artificial joint parts (prosthetics).
The surgeon made an incision (cut) in the back of your upper or lower arm and removed damaged tissue and parts of the bones. The surgeon then put in the artificial joint in place and closed with sutures (stitches).
You were given pain medicine and learned how to manage swelling around your new joint.
Your elbow area may feel warm and tender for 2-4 weeks after surgery.
For the first week after surgery, you may have a soft splint on your arm to hold your elbow in place. Some people need to use a harder splint or brace that has a hinge when the incision has healed
You will need help with every chores such as shopping, bathing, making meals, and housework for up to 6 weeks. You may want to make some changes around your home so it is easier for you to take care of yourself.
You will need to wait 4-6 weeks before you can drive. Your doctor or physical therapist will tell you when it is okay.
You may be able to start using your elbow as soon as 12 weeks after surgery. Full recovery can take up to a year.
The amount you can use your arm and when you can start using it will depend on the condition of your elbow. Be sure to ask your doctor what limits you may have.
Your doctor will have you go to physical therapy to help you gain strength and use of your arm. If you have a splint, you may need to wait a few weeks to start therapy.
After the first week, you may be able to use your splint only while sleeping. Ask your doctor if this okay. You will need to avoid carrying anything or pulling items even when your splint is off.
By 6 weeks, you should be able to slowly increase daily activities to help make your elbow and arm stronger.
By 12 weeks, you should be able to lift more weight. Ask your doctor what other activities you can do at this point.
Make sure you know the proper way to use your elbow before you start any activity or move your arm for any reason. Ask your doctor if you can:
The stitches on your wound will be removed about 1 week after surgery. Keep your incision and the dressing clean and dry for 2 weeks. You may change the dressing every day if you like.
Do NOT shower until after your follow-up appointment with your doctor. Your doctor will tell you when you can begin taking showers. When you do start showering again, let the water run over the incision, but do not let the water beat down on it. Do NOT scrub. Wash your incision gently and pat it dry.
Do NOT soak the wound in a bathtub, hot tub, or swimming pool.
Pain is normal after elbow replacement surgery. It should get better over time.
Your doctor will give you a prescription for pain medicine. Get it filled when you go home so that you have it when you need it. Take your pain medicine when you start having pain so pain doesn't get too bad.
Ibuprofen or another anti-inflammatory medicine may also help. Ask your doctor what other medicines are safe to take with your pain medicine.
Do NOT drive if you are taking narcotic pain medicine. This medicine may make you too sleepy to drive safely.
