Rainbow Dash
this wiki
|Rainbow Dash
ButthenIdied's version
My Little Pony
Rainbow Dash is a female Pegasus and one of the main characters in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. She is responsible for maintaining the weather and clearing the skies in Ponyville. As a huge fan of The Wonderbolts, she dreams of one day joining their elite flying group. Rainbow Dash has a pet tortoise named Tank. She represents the Element of Loyalty.
In M.U.G.E.N, several creators have made Rainbow Dash all varying in terms of quality and gameplay. A cheap edit of her, IDGCaptainRussia's Chromo Dash also exists.
Buttthenidied's version
The first version of Rainbow Dash created and the first My little Pony character to appear in M.U.G.E.N. Her sprites are screenshots taken from Pony Creator, but edited to fit whatever action the character is doing such as walking backwards, jumping, crouching, etc. This creation has become infamous in the community due to its incomplete nature, relatively broken quality and poorly ripped sprites. It is considered to be of a relatively poor quality and is said to be the worst version available for the engine. It also strangely has Homer as her win portrait.
RockRage8692's edits
The YouTuber RockRage8962 made edits to Butthenidied's version including new palettes, sprites for missing animations, added missing CLSN-boxes, a new portrait image, cleaned up the sprites, and fixed her broken intro. While these edits fix a few of the problems of the original it still has flaws that weren't ironed out. RockRage8962 announced back in 2012 that he stopped working on this version in favor of his own version that he created with his friend IDGCaptainRussia which was built off of this version.
Pingurules' edit
Pingurules edited an early beta of RockRage8962's edits of Butthenidied's Rainbow Dash. She has 3 new hypers added in, as well as modifying a few of her moves. While it's better then the first version of Rainbow Dash it is still far from perfect. This is a joke edit to test a portion of the My Little Pony fanbase on their reactions. It is offline.
RockRage8962's and IDGCaptainRussia's version
RockRage8962 created his own version of Rainbow Dash along with his friend IDGCaptainRussia, which was built off of, and designed to be better than Butthenidied's version. IDGCaptainRussia did most of the coding and came up with most of the ideas for her move set. This version uses sprites from the defunct mmorpg mlp online (made by urimas on deviantart). This version has been accepted the best out of all the other versions of Rainbow Dash available for the engine, although it still has a few issues that need to be fixed including, but not limited to; Debug Flood, move balancing and AI tweaking. This Rainbow Dash has a Brutal AI setting and as such, has been labeled as being a cheap character by some people, due to the AI spamming certain moves at times. This version is loosely based on Marvel vs. Capcom with other fighting game elements thrown in, making her somewhat of a hybrid character with a custom play style.
- It should be noted that certain special effects might cause the engine to lag due to her .sff file being over 60MB.
RockRage8962's Fighting is Magic version
RockRage8962 announced that, along with his Fighting is Magic styled Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy characters, he will be creating a Fighting is Magic styled Rainbow Dash character that uses sprites from a fan made continuation of Fighting is Magic.
SoGGy's version
A Youtuber called SoGGy made an anthropmorphic version of Rainbow Dash using custom sprites and new moves. It is unknown if SoGGy is still working on his version of Rainbow Dash as no new content has been mentioned as of 2012 when the last update was released.
PabloSSB's version
PabloSSB is also working on a Rainbow Dash character using custom sprites based on the ones seen in the now shut down Fighting is Magic and original coding. He has released a beta version, but it is an unfinished Kung Fu Man edit with some MvC and CvS elements thrown in.
Captain Russia's edit
The YouTuber IDGCaptainRussia made an edit of RockRage8692's edit's of Butthenidied's Rainbow Dash called Chromo Dash (also called Rainbow Dash XL and RDXL), it was intended to be better than the original version by Butthenidied, but ended up being a cheap character due to several invincibility frames. Like many of Captain Russia's characters it is only a W.I.P. and has not been released yet. It was also the first character to use Captain Russia's new AI method that he uses in his newer characters, like RockRage's Rainbow Dash.
HedgehogMac's version
The YouTuber HedgehogMac made a Rainbow dash that was edited from Guile, it's sprites are adapted from RockRage8962's Edit to Butthenidied's version and the 'Fighting is Magic' Rainbow Dash videos.
He has since updated Rainbow Dash with it now being at version 0.8 with a new hyper move, some new sprites to replace some of the Pony Maker ones, and a win screen, though the text in her winquotes are in Spanish.
- Buttthenidied's Version was commonly used as a base for other MLP characters, even RockRage8962's and IDGCaptainRussia's Version was edited from Buttthenidied's Version.
- PabloSSB's Rainbow Dash has a special intro and win pose against RockRage8962's characters and Butthenidied's characters and a win pose against a few Mario and Luigi characters, but due to the incomplete nature of this version the special win poses don't trigger.
- Butthenidied's and SoGGy's Rainbow Dash's have cameos in RockRage8962's Rainbow Dash. Butthenidied's Rainbow Dash is seen standing ready to battle when RockRage8962's version comes from behind and bucks her out of the battle. SoGGy's version is seen standing when she says "It needs to be about 20% cooler" and a mushroom from Super Mario Bros. falls from above and causes SoGGy's version to grow into RockRage8962's version.
- Rainbow Dash's Human form from Equestria Girls has a cameo in one of RockRage8962 and Captain Russia's Rainbow Dash's win poses where Rainbow Dash stares into the background and a pedestal falls to the ground followed by a statue of Human Rainbow Dash that lands on top of the pedestal. It also appears as Midnight Bliss compatibility in this version.
- ABOSULTE-Yveltal's Killer Lucario has an intro with Omega Tom Hanks killing Buttthenidied's Rainbow Dash.

CDMA iPhone 4 (for Verizon?) to come in Q4
Earlier this month, when Apple announced the new iPhone 4, Steve Jobs said nothing about planning to make a CDMA version of the smartphone. And yet rumors about this have started, again, to appear.
According to DigiTimes (which is sometimes right and other times wrong), CDMA iPhone 4s (made by Pegatron) will be shipped to Apple starting the fourth quarter of 2010. And what will Apple do with CDMA iPhones? Most likely, it will sell them via Verizon – we've heard about a possible Apple-Verizon deal many times until now.
If Verizon will indeed have the iPhone 4 in Q4, this could seriously hurt Motorola and HTC, as many customers may want to choose Apple's smartphone instead of their Droids.
There are also rumors that Verizon is testing CDMA iPads, so things can certainly get very interesting later this year.
Apple has already secured more than 600,000 iPhone 4 pre-orders, despite lots of problems appeared during the first pre-order day.

FIRE & SAFETY CONSULTANTS, Inc.
- Rich
Keyworth - 630-776-0284
Accidental or Arson ?
Richard J. Keyworth
It is often said "Firefighters walk where the devil dances."
Author Richard J. Keyworth stands 6'6" tall and his courage and
commitment to fighting and investigating fires stand even taller. His
account of 14 of the innumerable fires he investigated will intrigue,
inform and educate fellow firefighters and law enforcement
professionals. Because fire is mystical at times and practical at
others, "FIRE'S Accidental or Arson?" will also entrance
the general public. His investigations will twist and turn and take
place in likely and unlikely locations. Readers will be as interested in
the investigative process as the investigator's cohorts and the
investigator himself.
The real names of the perpetrators and the victims do not
appear in Keyworth's manuscript, as a courtesy to those who have tragic
memories and to those who were charged with arson and either convicted
or acquitted. Their stories are told in an entertaining manner; Keyworth
is an attention- gripping story teller. Flip up the sides of his fire
helmet and he is "Sherlock Holmes".
"Fire's Accidental or Arson" invites the reader to
stand inside incinerated buildings and follow Keyworth and his expert
associates as they explore the evidence and determine the cause. The
conclusions of his scientific investigations will illuminate the guilty
and absolve the innocent. "A fire investigator is a finder of the facts
and a seeker of the truth" says Keyworth. "A single circumstance does
not cause the fire, it is a series of events and circumstances which
come together to cause a fire". It is this series of events and
circumstances which leads him to the true cause of the fire. He brings
over 40 years of experience as well as countless hours of education and
training to this book. Mr. Keyworth is a consummate professional.

Fennel, Orange & Star Anise Vinegar
Try this vinegar infused with fennel, orange and star anise in Asian-inspired dishes. Combine with soy sauce, chopped scallions, ginger and a pinch of sugar and use it as a sauce for a chicken-broccoli stir-fry. Or try it drizzled over hot-and-sour soup. The recipe makes enough vinegar so you'll have extra to decant into a decorative bottle or two to give away as a simple homemade gift.Yield: 6 cups
Active Time: 40
Total Time: 40
- 6 cups distilled white vinegar
- 9 fronds from 1 fennel bulb
- 3 strips zest from 1 medium orange (see Tips)
- 9 whole star anise (see Tips)
- Additional fresh herbs for decoration (optional)
- Wash 3 pint-size (2-cup) heatproof glass canning jars (or similar containers) and their lids with hot soapy water. Rinse well with hot water. Fill a large, deep pot (such as a water bath canner) about half full with water. Place the jars upright into the pot; add enough additional water to cover by 2 inches. Bring the water to a boil; boil jars for 10 minutes. Add the lids to the pot, and then remove the pot from the heat. Let the jars and lids stay in the hot water as you prepare the flavoring and vinegar. (Keeping the jars warm minimizes breakage when filling with hot liquid.)
- Thoroughly rinse fennel fronds, orange zest and star anise with water. Remove the jars from the water bath with a jar lifter or tongs. Divide the flavorings among the jars. Heat vinegar in a large saucepan to a bare simmer (at least 190°F). Carefully divide the vinegar among the prepared jars, leaving at least 1/4-inch space between the top of the jar and the vinegar. Remove lids from the water bath, dry with a clean towel and screw tightly onto the jars.
- Store the jars in a cool, dark place, undisturbed, for 3 to 4 weeks. Strain vinegar through cheesecloth into another container. Repeat as needed until all the sediment is removed and the vinegar is clear. Discard all solids and pour the strained vinegar back into rinsed jars or divide among sterilized decorative bottles. Decorate with a few well-rinsed fennel fronds, strips of zest and/or star anise, if desired.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Refrigerate the vinegar for up to 1 year. Equipment: 3 pint-size (2-cup) glass canning jars; cheesecloth
- Tips: To remove citrus zest: Use a vegetable peeler to remove strips of the outer skin (zest), leaving the bitter white pith behind.
- Star anise (named for its star-shaped pods) lends a distinctive licorice-like flavor to numerous Asian dishes. The pods come from a small evergreen tree that is native to China. Look for star-anise in the bulk spice sections of natural-foods stores, in Asian markets or online at penzeys.com.

The direct anterior approach in total hip replacement anatomically offers the chance to minimise soft-tissue trauma because an intermuscular and internervous plane is explored. This motivated us to abandon our previously used transgluteal approach and to adopt the direct anterior approach for total hip replacement. Using MRI, we performed a retrospective comparative study of the direct anterior approach with the transgluteal approach. There were 25 patients in each group. At one year post-operatively all the patients underwent MRI of their replaced hips. A radiologist graded the changes in the soft-tissue signals in the abductor muscles. The groups were similar in terms of age, gender, body mass index, complexity of the reconstruction and absence of symptoms. Detachment of the abductor insertion, partial tears and tendonitis of gluteus medius and minimus, the presence of peri-trochanteric bursal fluid and fatty atrophy of gluteus medius and minimus were significantly less pronounced and less frequent when the direct anterior approach was used. There was no significant difference in the findings regarding tensor fascia lata between the two approaches. We conclude that use of the direct anterior approach results in a better soft-tissue response as assessed by MRI after total hip replacement. However, the impact on outcome needs to be evaluated further.

|Check-in before
We had some great days in the apartment. Very central situated, but the place is also very noisy. The bedrooms and kitchen were fine. The bathrooms did the job but are well used. The cleaning could have been better. The layout of the apartment (formerly two apartments) was strange with a door between the two bathrooms as the only connection (besides the staircase) between one of the bedrooms and the rest of the apartment.
If you like city break is the perfect opportunity
Located perfectly in the heart of New York. Walking distance to Macy's and the Empire and central park.
I really liked the place I selected. HOWEVER, On the day before we flew I was informed by "Mo" that the place I selected and paid for was "unavailable". He gave me the option of a VERY DIRTY APARTMENT THAT BASICALLY SUCKED ASS. There was mildew all over the bathroom. It was as if it had never been cleaned. I was there for 10 days and didn't feel clean once the entire time. There was space for six really dirty people to sleep, but GUESS WHAT? There are only two of us!!! So all the space was wasted. The TV service didn't work at all and yes, I was in NYC, but there are times I need to look at the news to see what's happening. THAT wasn't possible. There was crap left from previous tenants and I suppose from the owners of this dump. IT WAS BAIT AND SWITCH!!! I frikking hated every second I was in this stupid disease ridden dump.
The neighbourhood was alright and the apartment was fine as well, apart from one of the beds that almost fell apart. The biggest disappointment was that internet never worked, though we called them every day and were promised that it would be fixed immediately! Besides that the host "Mo" was very slow to respond to any issues. Not at all pleased with this stay!
Great apartment but a problem that water pressure is too low to use both bathrooms at the same time. Also the promised wi-fi did not work and the host did not respond to our mail and phone calls regarding this
The location was great. Near Central Park and the subway just a few blocks away. The appartment was clean and the beds made. Very nice place to stay.
all perfect very recomendable
The apartment didn't quite live up to expectations. Although advertised as 2 bedroom in reality it was a 1 bedroom with part of the original lounge area partitioned off to form a second bedroom. The apartment as a whole was well enough equipped and furnished. The toilet sink leaked when used resulting in flooding on a few occasions. This was reported at least 4 times to the leasing agency but it took 5 days before action was taken and the fault repaired which was most unsatisfactory. There was meant to be wifi availability but this did not prove to be the case. Also tv channels were limited.
In conclusion you were very much paying for the location rather than the apartment and the level of customer care was very poor indeed. I would not recommend staying at this property or booking through this agency.
The apartment is very well located. However, I did not get the service that was promised. I rented this apart due to its location and internet service, since I went to NYC for both work and pleasure. When checking in at the office, the instructions were given to me regarding internet access. I was suppossed to find a clear box with instructions... When I arrived to the apart, there were no clear box nor even modem!! DID NOT HAVE INTERNET service. I called to the office the same day to explain the situation. I did not have any solution at all during my stay. I got really disappointed since I had to pay to AT&T for a special service during my stay (USD500). In addition, the tenant did not recognize my extra expense, not even a penny!!! DISAPPOINTED!
The location is very good, wifi was perfect and the apartment is not bad, but there are many bad things you won't like:
- It is extremely noisy, sleeping will be very difficult.
- It has 2 bathrooms, but they are connected by a door and there's one room you can only access through them.
- It was very very dirty.
- Washer machine doesn't work, So, We couldn't try the drier.
- You will only get one towel per person... If washer machine doesn't work, you can imagine...
- It is located in a second floor... there's no elevator.
- Only one TV was working, the one in the dining room.
- Curtains and blinds are not enough, So, rooms are not dark enough to sleep confortably.
- You have to pick the keys up in an office; It is near the apartment and It is easy and fast, but after a long flight, It is a bit unconfortable.
I don't reccommend this apartment.
- すべてのお部屋はチェック済み
- どのホストともお電話で直接お話いただけます

Cosmetic Dentistry for Better Teeth
We all get obsessive about our skin, monitoring every incipient line, splotch, and hint of sagginess. But we don't always give that kind of scrutiny to our teeth. "Our teeth age, just as our skin does," says Jeff Golub-Evans, DDS, of the New York Center for Cosmetic Dentistry. "Most people don't even notice the changes until you point them out in the dentist's chair."
Fortunately, the signs of wear, tear, and time on your teeth can be much easier to reverse than the ones on your skin. "I have many patients who walk in thinking their next stop is the plastic surgeon's office," says Michael Apa, DDS, a cosmetic dentist in New York City, "and they find they can wait indefinitely." The trick is pinpointing the procedures that will make the biggest difference. Here, our beginner's guide to improving your smile.
Age Change: Shorter Front Teeth
Why:Teeth wear down with use. "By the time you reach 40, the two upper front center teeth are as much as two millimeters shorter than they were in your 20s," Golub-Evans says.
How It Ages You:"When you smile and reveal little or no top teeth, you can look toothless," Golub-Evans says. "As your teeth shorten, they can also cause your lips to sag inward, creating a thin, tight-looking smile — instead of the fuller, softer look you have when you're younger."
How to Fix It:Your dentist can elongate the front teeth slightly with bonding or, more dramatically, porcelain veneers. With bonding, tooth-colored material is applied and hand-sculpted to the teeth by the dentist. Veneers are thin porcelain jackets that cover the front of teeth. Whichever method they use, good dentists are adept at choosing colors that will complement those of your natural teeth. Teeth aren't actually white; they're slightly yellow with a tiny bit of blue just before the edge. "We're using shades of white that have some blue and even yellow in them," notes Marty Zase, DMD, a dentist with an emphasis on cosmetic dentistry, in Colchester, Connecticut. "Natural is always more flattering than matte, stark white, which not only looks artificial, it's like you're trying too hard to look younger."
What It's Like:"Bonding was a no-brainer," says a 44-year-old therapist from Wilton, New Hampshire. "After an hour and a half, I walked out with younger, whiter teeth." Veneers require two, sometimes three appointments, and one of them will be a bit grueling. "Your teeth have to be ground down," says Wendy Lewis, 48, a coauthor of America's Cosmetic Doctors and Dentists. "When I had mine done, it didn't hurt, but I was very aware of the temporaries, which also felt weird when I ran my tongue over them. Once the permanents were in, the end result was beautiful."
Caveats:If your dentist will be treating just the two front teeth, it's important to ask about how their colors will look. "We can lighten what's already there to make them blend or choose a natural shade for the cosmetic work," Zase says.
Age Change: Worn-Down Teeth
Why:Wear and tear smoothes and flattens tooth edges and surfaces.
How It Ages You:The tiny ripples at the bottom of your teeth, and the slight ridges on their surface, give your teeth dimension, character, and youthfulness. When they wear down, "your teeth look square, boxy, and unnatural," says Ada S. Cooper, DDS, a dentist in private practice in New York City.
How to Fix It:Most cosmetic dentists recommend veneers. "Porcelain veneers are created from a mold of your own teeth," says Zase, "so you can get a lot of the detail back."
What It's Like:Depending on how many of your teeth you want to correct, you'll sit through two and often three appointments lasting an hour to two hours each. But you'll be able to correct most aesthetic concerns: color, position, shape, and texture.

Since I had plans to be in Austin for Labor Day weekend, I kindly asked Josh if he would mind writing a post or two for the blog. He asked what he should write about and I said whatever you want or beer.
. . . and this is what I got.
I guess it's easy to confused beer with deer.
P.S. I hope you understand Josh's odd sense of humor, don't take him too seriously
Welp it's only 16 days away until September 17th. Thats right just 16 days until we can rise at the crack of dawn, sling our quiver around our back and take trail to the heart of nature. Thats right bow season is just around the corner and I can't help but think how excited everyone is getting. It is gonna be a big day down here in Sportsman's Paradise AKA Louisiana.
There is nothing quite as primitive as bow hunting compared to all the technology and other mumbo jumbo we have these days. It's almost as if hunting has become unfair. That is not the case however in bowhunting. Bowhunting is how our ancestors hunted and we can honor them by following in their foot steps. So mark it on your calender that them deers are gonna be waiting on ya come Sept. 17.
So you can think of it this way.....you still have 16 more days to practice.

revisit Orwells classic satire Animal Farm As ferociously fresh as it was more than a half century ago, this remarkable allegory of a downtrodden society of overworked, mistreated animals and their quest to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality is one of the most scathing satires ever published. As readers witness the rise and bloody fall of the revolutionary animals, they begin to recognize the seeds of totalitarianism in the most idealistic organizationand in the most charismatic leaders, the souls of the cruelest oppressors.
Author Biography
George Orwell was the pen name of Eric Blair, an Englishman born in Bengal, India, and educated at Eton in England. After service with the British colonial Indian Imperial Police in Burma, he returned to Europe to earn his living writing novels and essays. Bitterly opposed to social injustice, political oppression, and verbal cant in every form, he was a socialist who attacked both capitalism and communism, a literary critic who savaged all that he saw as false to life as it was lived and reality as it was, and a novelist who merged his profound political concerns with superbly honed narrative artistry. Besides his classic Animal Farm, his major works include a novel based on his experiences as a colonial policeman, Burmese Days; two firsthand studies of poverty, Down and Out in Paris and London and The Road to Wigan Pier; an account of his experiences in the Spanish Civil War, Homage to Catalonia; and the extraordinary novel of political prophecy whose title became part of our language, 1984. George Orwell died in 1950, of a neglected lung disease.

Squeaky Sullivan was born in a Laundromat on the east side of St. Paul in 1954. His mother had gone into labor while she was folding clothes, with his father blocks away at a hardware store. Mom went through labor alone waiting for her husband to return, but he arrived when Squeaky was already crowning and had to use his wife's freshly cleaned sheets to fashion a bed on the dirty tile floor.
"I obviously can't remember that day," Sullivan says. "But all my life, as long as I can remember, I've been most serene when the aroma of detergent is in the air. I'm always happiest inside a Laundromat."
Sullivan realized his dream of buying a Laundromat of his own last June when he opened "Squeaky Clean," a 24-hour self-serve Laundromat on St. Paul's East Seventh Street.
"We didn't cut a ribbon the day we opened," Sullivan says, "we cut a bed sheet."
Sullivan says "people show up at all hours, some to wash clothes, some to find a place to read or to curl up and sleep. Some are up to no good. Some are just lonely, looking for someone to talk to. I have magazines sitting out, and two vending machines. I come by at random hours, just to sit there myself and see how everyone's doing, maybe sweep the floor. I smell that detergent and I immediately calm down. It's restful for me."
Sullivan says last Sunday night he was unable to sleep and decided to drive over to the Laundromat to ease his worried mind.
"My mother had been battling congestive heart failure the last year or so, and lately she'd been hospitalized a couple of times. I'd been unable to stop worrying about her. The Laundromat always seemed to make me feel a little better, so I drove down there. I was thinking the place would be empty and that I could perhaps sit for a while and make peace with the fact that she wasn't going to be around a lot longer.
"But when I arrived, I found her there washing clothes. She hadn't felt strong enough to come down in over two months, so I was surprised to see her, not to mention it was one in the morning. Mom's always been a night owl, but still, this was extremely unusual.
"I scolded her for being out alone at such an hour. She laughed and said she could take care of herself. She showed me an old shillelagh at the bottom of her laundry cart and said she was 'ready for all the ruffians.'
"Then she grew kind of serious and began to tell the story of my birth. She told me that she and my father had had a rough marriage, which I already knew since they'd been divorced for decades. She said on the afternoon I was born she was on the floor of the Laundromat covered up in white sheets. I was resting on her stomach, nursing. My father told her he was going to drive to the clinic and return with a nurse or doctor. He told her not to move and that she'd be okay.
"She said that soon after he left she wrote a note to him apologizing for leaving him and the baby, but that it was for the best since she wasn't ready to be a mother. She said she was jumping on a bus and planning to leave town and that she wouldn't be coming back.
"It was as she was leaving, looking back at me, all covered up and asleep on the sheets, that she heard a strange voice. She said it seemed to come from somewhere inside her. It said, if she left, life would be a lot easier; if she stayed it would be harder. But if she stayed, she would die one day, years down the line, without regrets.
"It was then, at that moment, that she slowly crumpled up the piece of paper and, with tears in her eyes, climbed back under the sheets with me.
"She said, 56 years later she wanted me to know that voice was right.
"Just then a car pulled up in front of the Laundromat, and my brother came running inside with his pajama top on and his hair mussed up. He told me Mom had passed away at home an hour earlier.
"I turned back around, sort of puzzled, wondering why he would say such a thing with Mom standing right there. But she was gone. The Laundromat was empty."

Our group focuses on development of vaccines, antibody treatments and small molecule treatments against filoviruses Ebola and Marburg and on investigation of the mechanisms of their high pathogenicity. Our research includes the following specific topics:
To get insight into these scietific topics, we are using molecular tools, including reverse genetics (i.e. development of genetically modified filoviruses from the DNA-copies of their genomes and use of mini-genomes), immunological tools such as multi-parameter flow cytometry, and human immune cells and animal models. Our research includes experiments in a BSL-2 lab and in BSL-4 labs of the Galveston National Laboratory.
Our research is supported by multiple sources, including R01 and multiple U19 grants from NIH, and grants from DTRA (DoD) and the Department of Homeland Security.
Our collaborators include Dr. James Crowe, Jr. (Vanderbilt University), Dr. Chris Basler (Mount Sinai), Dr. Sergei Nekhai (Howard University), Dr. Thomas Geisbert (UTMB), Dr. Siba Samal (University of Maryland), Dr. Scott Weaver (UTMB), Dr. Raul Andino (UCSF), and Dr. Werner Braun (UTMB).

Ella DUBRUL
In loving memory of Ella DUBRUL, 1905-2001.
She was born Ella KENDALL in Plattsburg, N.Y., the daughter of a Baptist minister whose calls took the family to Antrim, N.H., Cranbrook, B.C., Dehli and Norwich, Ontario. She graduated first in her class from Woodstock High School. At Toronto Normal School she met Stuart CORK. They married in 1927 and raised two sons David and Kendall, and a foster-son Flight Sergeant John GARDINER who was shot down in February, 1945. Their daughter Eleanor died in infancy in 1946.
In 1935 they founded Killarney Mountain Camp, a summer resort in Baie Fine then designed and built Birch Island Lodge on the Whitefish River Indian Reserve, (Birch Island) near Little Current, Ontario, which they operated from 1940 until the beautiful lodge burned in 1953. She was a Director of Northern Ontario Outfitters Association and wrote its constitution.
From 1942 to 1945 she directed a novel recreation program at Trinity K Club, the first girl's work program undertaken by the Kiwanis Club of Toronto.
In 1946 she helped Stuart found a new program in Institutional Management at the University of Toronto. After his passing in 1950 the program was moved to Ryerson, where it eventually grew into the present degree program in Hospitality.
In 1952 she married Dr. George Harvey WORTHINGTON in Vancouver, B.C. After he passed on in 1954 she attended Columbia University in New York City where she set a record number of points taken in one semester (30) and graduated with a Master of Science degree in Public Law and Government.
In 1960 she married Stephen DUBRUL, with whom she celebrated her most cherished achievement, a 25th wedding anniversary. They lived at first in Detroit, Michigan, but mainly north of there on Lake George Road, Lake Orion. There she researched and published two books, "The Worst of the Bargain" and "What Happened in Murdochville", and served as a Director of WTVS Public TV.
After so much growth, both natural and by acquisition, she leaves a large and diverse family of CORK, FINLAY, DUBRUL, and GALVIN, extending down to great-grandchildren.
A funeral mass was held on Tuesday, July 17 at 10: 30 a.m. at Saint John's Chapel of St. Michael's Cathedral, Toronto.

The festivities will take on a different theme each week, with free entry, installations, demonstrations and activities to get stuck into. Dance workshops and arts performances come courtesy of City Academy.

An annual meteor shower will light up the night skies during the first few days of this week, with good views early Monday morning preceding the climax of the show early Tuesday morning.
Viewers will need to rise early to see the Eta Aquariids, as the best time to see them will be in the hours just before dawn.
The Eta Aquariids are particles from Halley's comet, the famous spectacle that is visible on Earth about once per century. They separated from the comet hundreds of years ago.
"The orbits of the meteors match the orbit of the comet," Mike Hankey, an amateur astronomer and meteor watcher affiliated with the American Meteor Society, said. "This is how we know that a meteor shower is linked to a comet parent body."
That means the Eta Aquariids follow a long orbit around the Sun, one that takes them to the outer solar system.
"The particles of Hally's comet that we currently encounter each May follow the basic orbit of Hally's comet," Bob Lunsford, a spokesperson for the American Meteor Society, said. "Therefore, they revolve around the sun in a very elongated orbit that stretches from the sun out to a position between the orbits of Saturn and Uranus."
The array of meteors will look like they come from the constellation Aquarius.
"All meteor showers radiate from a central point called the radiant," Hankey said. "This is what gives the meteor shower its name. For this shower the radiant is below the horizon until 3:00 am, which means it won't be very high in the sky before dawn starts."
To see the Eta Aquariids clearly, find and travel to an area with dark skies. Lay flat on your back on the ground and look about half way up the sky toward the east. To get the best viewing, assure that the horizon is at the bottom of your field of vision.
"The reason for this is that more meteor activity occurs closer to the horizon," Lunsford said. "When one looks closer to the horizon you are looking through a thicker 'slice' of the atmosphere. The thinnest 'slice' lies straight up where the fewest meteors are visible. Of course, looking too low will cause problems with the horizon blocking your view. The best compromise is looking roughly half-way up with the horizon just at the bottom of your field of view."
If you look into the constellation Aquarius in an attempt to see the meteors, the light of stars may make it difficult to do so. It is also a good idea to give your eyes about 30 minutes to acclimate to the night sky.
NASA will host an online live view of the meteor shower on Sunday night via the Marshall Space Flight Center's UStream feed.
The Orionid meteor shower, which occurs in late October, is the other night sky event that allows viewers to see remnants of Halley's comet.

10 Common Missteps in Assessment
...and How to Avoid Them
by Sherry A Woosley, Ph.D. and Amanda R. Knerr
From NASPA's NetResults June 21, 2005
Part I: Missteps in Assessment Building Blocks
Misstep 1. Doing assessment just so you can say you're doing assessment rather than doing purposeful and useful assessment to improve practice.
Misstep 2. Failing to connect assessment with practice rather than creating a culture that integrates and uses assessment as part of practice.
Misstep 3. Believing one workshop, paper, or presentation makes you an assessment expert rather than understanding that assessment requires training and expertise.
Misstep 4. Doing assessment by yourself or in isolation versus using the individual or departmental expertise and assistance that may be available to you on your campus.
Here are some proactive strategies to get in the right frame of mind:
1. Spend time upfront or frontload work.
2. Integrate assessment activities with your practice --make assessment a part of what you do.
3. Utilize all the available resources, including textbooks, conferences, professionals, etc.
Part II: Missteps in Assessment Planning and How to Avoid Them
Misstep 5: Rushing into conducting assessments rather then creating a thorough, well organized, assessment plan.
Misstep 6. Doing assessment that is disconnected from the goals of the program rather than linking assessment activities directly with the goals.
Misstep 7. Choosing the method before the purpose rather than letting the purpose guide the choice of method.
Misstep 8: Collecting "interesting" data versus collecting "useful" data.
Here are some proactive strategies to improve planning:
1. Spend time creating an assessment plan. Connected goals to outcomes by asking, "What is it that we say we are doing?" and "Are we doing what we say we are doing?"
2. Select a methodology that will gather the best information for your purpose, even if it is not the easiest, or the one you are most comfortable with.
3. Determine if you are collecting useful information or interesting information by asking, "If I collect this information, how am I going to use it?"
Part III: Missteps in Assessment Reporting and How to Avoid Them
Misstep 9: Reporting results ineffectively rather than targeting your information and reports to specific audiences and situations.
Misstep 10: Failing to evaluate an assessment project rather than taking time to assess the assessment and improve the entire process.
Here are some practical strategies to improve reporting:
1. Determine audiences' needs
2. Choose the information, format and style of the report based on the audience
3. Review all aspects of the assessment plan and make recommendations
4. Keep notes

The Big Picture
That is a very good question, Kyla. There are a few things you need to know
about before I can answer that. First, you can think of the image on your
television screen as a collection of many dots of light.
Now I see them! They were just too small for me to see individually before.
But that doesn't explain why only some of them showed up on my photograph.
There must be something else going on.
You're right. The reason you didn't see the whole picture is because not all
of the dots are shown at the same time. Take a look at the following
Oh I get it! The faster the dots are lit up, the more it looks like what I
see on my television.
Yes, if the dots light up fast enough our eyes don't see a sequence of dots, but they all look
like they are lit at once. This happens because we continue to see a dot as lit up for a short time
after it has become dark. It's called persistence of vision.

Economic Update
Labor markets continued to bring disappointing news at midyear but real estate markets improved. Significant job losses continued in June even though the pace slowed considerably from the beginning of the year. The unemployment rate, while not rising, remained elevated. Existing home prices rose for the fourth consecutive month and the inventory of unsold homes and the average number of days needed to sell a home fell.
- California lost 66,500 nonfarm jobs in June 2009, the 14th consecutive month-over-month decline. Job losses moderated a bit though, from the beginning of the year. During the four months ending with June, monthly losses averaged 63,000 jobs compared to an average of 87,500 during the four months ending with February.
- No major industry sectors gained jobs in June. However, professional and business services lost 13,700 jobs; construction, 13,300; trade, transportation, and utilities, 11,400; manufacturing, 8,100; government, 6,700; leisure and hospitality, 4,000; information, 3,300; other services, 2,700; financial activities, 1,800; educational and health services, 900; and natural resources and mining, 600.
- Nonfarm payroll employment fell by 766,300 from June 2008 to June 2009, a 5.1-percent decline.
- Only one industry sector had more jobs compared to the same month in the prior the year. Employment rose 19,500 in educational and health services
- Over the year, employment fell by 190,500 in trade, transportation, and utilities; 147,100 in construction; 130,500 in professional and business services; 124,600 in manufacturing; 64,400 in leisure and hospitality; 49,100 in financial activities; 38,800 in information; 22,500 in government; 16,600 in other services; and 1,700 in natural resources and mining.
- Since the national recession began in December 2007, California has lost 904,300 industry jobs.
- The state's unemployment rate held steady at 11.6 percent in June. The number of people unemployed in California was 2,146,000 – down 7,000 over the month, but up by 850,000 compared with June of last year.
- After sliding dramatically throughout 2006, 2007 and 2008, home building appeared to bottom out during the first six month's of 2009, with at least 30,000 permits issued each month. New home permitting during the first six months of 2009 averaged 33,900 units. In June, residential permits were issued at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 34,243 units, down over 52 percent from a year earlier. Single-family permits were down 34.3 percent, while multi family permitting was down 75 percent.
- Commercial construction, by contrast, continued to trend down during the first half of 2009. Nonresidential construction permitting fell 56 percent in June from a year earlier. For the first six months of 2009 as a whole, nonresidential permitting was down 47.6 percent from the same months of 2008.
- Real estate activity showed more signs of stability in June. Sales prices improved for the fourth consecutive month. The median price of existing, single-family homes sold in June was $274,740, down 26 percent from a year earlier. This was better than the latter half of 2008 when the median price was falling at a 40+ percent year-over-year rate.
- Lower prices boosted sales. Sales of existing, single-family detached homes totaled 514,110 units at a seasonally adjusted annualized rate in June, up over 20 percent from a year earlier. The pace of existing home sales during the first six months of 2009 accelerated over 55 percent from the first half of 2008.
- These trends are also reflected in home inventory readings. The unsold inventory index inched down to 4.1 months. The median number of days needed to sell a home dropped to 44.3 days, nearly a 10-percent improvement from a year earlier.
Monthly Cash Report
As part of the Amended 2009 Budget Act, Finance assumed an unallocated $3 billion revenue reduction to the 2009-10 May Revision forecast. The revenue reduction was assumed to occur throughout the 2009-10 fiscal year in an amount proportional to current tax collections. For July, the unallocated revenue reduction was calculated at -$148 million, reducing the total General Fund revenue forecast for July from $5.292 billion to $5.144 billion. Preliminary General Fund agency cash for July was $5.209 billion, or $65 million above the Amended 2009 Budget Act forecast, which includes the unallocated revenue adjustment.
- Personal income tax revenues to the General Fund were $74 million below the month's forecast of $2.741 billion. Withholding receipts were $148 million lower than the projected level of $2.745 billion. Other receipts were $72 million above the anticipated $281 million – July is not a significant month for income tax estimated payments or final payments – and refunds came in $1 million under the estimate of $236 million. Proposition 63 requires that 1.76 percent of total monthly personal income tax collections be transferred to the Mental Health Services Fund (MHSF). The amount transferred to the MHSF in July was $1 million below the month's estimate of $49 million.
- Sales and use tax receipts were $76 million below the month's forecast of $1.995 billion. July represents the final payment for second quarter taxable sales, which was due on July 31.
- Corporation tax revenues were $104 million above the month's estimate of $171 million. Prepayments were $68 million higher than the forecast of $157 million and other payments were $40 million above the $71 million that was expected. Refunds were $3 million over the projected level of $57 million.
- The Vehicle License Fee (VLF) rate increased from 0.65 percent to 1.15 percent from May 19, 2009, to June 30, 2011, with the additional 0.5 percent initially going to the General Fund. Of the additional revenue collected 0.35 percent remains in the General Fund and 0.15 percent is subsequently transferred to local law enforcement (Local Safety and Protection Account). Total VLF General Fund revenue reported in July was $36 million lower than the estimate of $148 million. It is estimated that at least an additional $20 million in VLF General Fund revenue attributed to July will be recorded in August.
- Revenues from the insurance, estate, alcoholic beverage, and tobacco taxes came in $8 million above the $51 million that was expected. Pooled money interest income was $9 million below the estimate of $9 million, and "other" revenues were as forecast.

The episode of "Hell's Kitchen" on Thursday night began with the continuation of last week's installment, where Jessica and Richard cooked head to head and depending on how they recreated staple dishes of "Hell's Kitchen" one would be going home. Richard appeared calm and collective, somewhat certain of his position, but Jessica stood there with such a horrendous expression that it seemed as though she was about to have a heart attack, and once chef Ramsay announced that she was the weakest cook, she begged between sobs to be allowed to remain in the competition, to no avail and she had to hand over her jacket.
Then all the chefs were taken to chef Ramsay gastro pub in Los Angeles and told that they will serve similar food that night at dinner service. And then it was cooking time and for a brief moment chefs in the Blue Team were in sync and appetizers began to fly out of the kitchen, however, and not uncommon they faltered at entrees and it was all downhill from there, Anton did not communicate well and yet feels he is a natural born leader, last night he did not show leadership qualities, Gabriel seemed lost and out of sorts, Scott produced a salad that was all liquid and yet could not accept responsibility, and Ralph as usual talked a lot and in his delusional mind felt he did not do anything wrong, but in reality he continuously served raw fish and felt he was safe because of feeling under the weather.
The Red Team on the other hand fell in rhythm and they had dishes flying out of the kitchen left and right without any objections from chef Ramsay and in turn they finished feeding their tables and then moved on to finish work in the men's side of the kitchen after chef Ramsay told all the men to get out and come up with two names that should go up for elimination.
As the chefs stood before chef Ramsay, this asked Gabriel for the name of the two chefs that should go up for elimination and he announced the first was Scott and second to the amazement of all lied and said Ralph, when in reality he, Gabriel, was the second chef chosen for elimination. Chef Ramsay asked all 3 to step down, Gabriel, Scott and Ralph and they all gave their reasons as to why they should remain in Hell's Kitchen, but chef Ramsay decided it was time for Ralph to go because he does not have the experience, nor is ready to be head chef.
"Hell's Kitchen" runs at 8 p.m. EDT on Fox.

According to Wednesday's NBC News 4, a puppy died at a Lewis Center, Ohio, training facility earlier this month when her collar became tangled and choked her to death.
On April 3, "Gracie," a six-month-old great dane/boxer mix, was at the ACME Canine dog training facility when the tragic incident took place. Gracie was wearing a choke collar and she was strangled when the collar cinched tightly around her neck after she became tangled with another dog.
Gracie's guardian, Robbi Scott, is devastated over the loss of her puppy - also devastated by the puppy's death is Laura Pakis, the woman who owns the facility where Gracie died. Pakis insists that the dogs were being supervised when the incident took place, but she has stated that the employees were unable to save Gracie after the collar cut off her air supply.
Pakis has stated that Gracie's death was the result of a freak accident - Scott believes that it was negligence.
After Gracie died, the facility switched the dogs in their care to a Martingale-style collar, but Pakis has noted that a dog could still be choked to death, even with the different type of collar.
In May 2012, a golden retriever who was playing with another dog outside of his New Jersey home, died after his choke collar got caught on the other dog's tooth. The dogs belong to a fire chief who was shocked, and devastated, after the dog's untimely death. Following the publication of the story about the golden retriever, several readers left comments to the National Dog News Examiner's Facebook page about similar, frightening collar incidents which involved both choke collars, and nylon collars.

Bluff Trail Accessibility Project
Montaña de Oro State Park to Begin Work on Bluff Trail Accessibility Project in November 2013
On Monday, November 18, 2013 California State Parks will begin accessibility work on the Bluff Trail in Montaña de Oro State Park. This $1.3 million project will consist of a variety of accessibility improvements, including:
- Replacing the two restrooms at the Coon Creek parking lot and the Bluff Trail Service Road with new ADA compliant restroom facilities;
- Re-contouring the trail surface to reduce erosion impacts, restore natural hydrology and reduce water run-off, and allow for mobility impaired access the full length of the Bluff Trail;
- Installing accessible parking spaces at the north trail head parking area and the south trail head parking lot at Coon Creek;
- Replacing the old pedestrian bridge at Coralina Cove and adding a new bridge north of Coon Creek;
- Improving scenic overlooks by installing new decking, surfaces, railings, and interpretive panels;
- Adding a new accessible picnic area, bench, and table;
Re-routing sections of trail to avoid future bluff retreat, close unsustainable and severely eroded alignments, and to protect the Coon Creek water shed and other resources.
The initial appearance of the trail will change as vegetation is removed and the trail is re-contoured and widened to correct drainage problems. After the initial re-grading and re-contouring, native vegetation will be restored and the trail tread will narrow to more conventional widths as the plants re-establish along the trail edges.
On occasion there will be heavy equipment traveling on Pecho Road between the Quonset Hut staging area at Spooner Ranch House and the Coon Creek parking lot. However, all trails and trailheads on the east side of Pecho Road will remain open.
This project will require partial periodic closures to sections of the Bluff Trail. California State Parks will inform the public of these closures via our website, social media sites, and park postings. Please check back for weekly updates on progress and temporary closures. We urge the public's cooperation in avoiding any closed sections of trail and parking areas during the duration of the project.
Work is anticipated to be completed by December of 2014.
If you have any questions, please contact Supervisory State Park Peace Officer Rob Colligan at (805) 602-6903 or at email@example.com. You may also contact State Park Interpreter II Rouvaishyana at (805) 772-2694, ext. 105 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Areas temporarily closed for construction along the Bluff Trail:
The Bluff Trail at Montana de Oro State Park is currently under renovation and portions of the trail may be closed intermittently.

Did Steve McCurry Do Justice to the Last Roll of Kodachrome?
Magnum photographer Steve McCurry pulled strings two years ago to get his hands on the last roll of Kodachrome film that Kodak produced. Now Vanity Fair has posted a slideshow of the images McCurry shot with that film.
So how did he do with the final frames of this legendary film stock? Did he do justice to the roll? And if not, to whom should Kodak have given the film instead? (View the rest of the images here.)

Country Playhouse, a local theater mainstay, is getting a facelift. The nonprofit is getting a new, 21,000 square foot facility in CityCentre near Memorial City. The facilities will open in early 2015 and will allow for some great new shows to be performed in the inaugural 2015-2016 season. To go along with this new facility, the company is changing its name to Queensbury Theatre, which reflects its location on Queensbury Lane.
"This is a transcendent moment for Country Playhouse," said Bonnie Hewett, artistic director of Queensbury Theatre. "With the building of our new theater and the unveiling of our new name we are taking a giant and important step onto center stage of the Houston theatre scene."
The group was formed in 1956 and performed all across Houston before settling down in the Memorial City area in the 1980s. Their new building, built on the same plot of land as the previous theater, will feature a main stage and a black box theater and will have seating for up to 250, box seating, and VIP areas to enhance the theater experience.

Saying to bundle up is an understatement! Temps this morning are downright cold in the single digits. Today we warm up into the low 20s, but clouds increase the later we head into the afternoon. A few flurries are possible late this afternoon into the evening commute.
Tonight, accumulating snow is likely. It looks like we will see snow move in after 8pm, and stick around through the Thursday morning rush hour. At this point, it looks like 2-5″ of snow is possible for most of the area. Totals will diminish the further north you head from Hamilton County north. Ice is possible in our southern counties if ice does indeed form… these snowfall totals for our southern counties will be cut in half. Click here to see a total accumulation map. Weather advisories and warnings are in effect for most of Central Indiana from 7pm to 1pm Thursday. Click here to see active advisories and warnings.
Thursday morning's rush hour looks messy with snow ending by midday.
More cold air rushes in for the weekend.

Wow, what a year 2011 was for the Accent Inn team.
The year began with us launching the first ever hotel rewards for Pets, the "Pet Fee Free" card back in March. The response had people talking about it online from all over North America (not just Canada). Next, one of our Vancouver Airport team members, Zully, won a Tourism Vancouver award for his service. We went from the excitement for Zully to our founder, Terry Farmer, being awarded Tourism Victoria`s first ever Lifetime Member award, which really put a spring in our steps. (more…)

The New Orleans Saints have been busy this week. And it hasn't been just about preparing for the Atlanta Falcons.
The Saints have essentially been playing roster roulette, cutting and re-signing Shayne Graham and Robert Meachem, placing Khairi Fortt on short-term IR, and waiving and then re-signing Ryan Griffin to the practice squad.
They likely have a few more moves up their sleeves before Sunday's matchup vs the Falcons.
With all that in mind, there's likely a bunch of Saints questions floating around today. So come chat about it. I'll be answering questions from 11 a.m. to noon.
Drop a question in the comment section below and I'll be back at 11 to answer as many as I can for the next hour.

We'll happily give these Leggings with Ankle Snaps ($198) center stage thanks to the great charcoal color and row of snaps gracing the ankles. Snapped shut, or left open, they add plenty of detail to your daily wardrobe.

The fifth-ranked UCLA men's volleyball team hosts a two-match, non-conference series this week against No. 15 Ball State, Mar. 14 and 16 in Pauley Pavilion. Both matches are slated to start at 7 p.m.
Darren Preston will call the action for both matches on www.uclabruins.com.
Ball State (10-7) enters the week in the middle of a five-match road trip that started with victories at Quincy (3-2) and Carthage (3-1) before a loss on Mar. 9 at Ohio State (1-3).
This week, BSU boasts at least one nationally ranked player in each of the major offensive categories. Senior outside hitter Nick Meyer ranks 13th in kills per game (4.46) and 11th in points per game (5.25). In addition, junior middle blocker Matt McCarthy ranks ninth in hitting percentage (.482) and teammate Ryan Clarke ranks in a tie for 12th in blocking (1.26).
The Bruins lead the series with Ball State 17-1 and have won three straight since suffering their only blemish to the Cardinals in 1995, a year the Bruins were 31-1 overall.
Last week, UCLA played one of its best matches in sweeping Loyola Chicago on Mar. 7. Seniors Steve Klosterman and Paul George combined for 28 kills, and sophomore Jamie Diefenbach added 10 kills and a career-high of three aces.
Two nights later, the Bruins could not sustain the magic. They committed 24 service errors -- including 12 in Game 3 -- and lost 3-0 on the road to No. 2 UC Irvine. Klosterman led all players with 21 kills and 24 points.
"We didn't get (Irvine) into the passing trouble that the previous opponents have that have beaten them," coach Al Scates said. "We weren't able to execute our serving game."
For the Ball State series, both matches will be High School/Club Volleyball Nights. Please call 310-206-3444 for more information of to register a team.
