Forecast discussion: We received mostly cloudy skies through the morning and early afternoon in Boston on Sunday, keeping our temperatures in the upper 40's to lower 50's. However, increasing sunshine late in the day and a warm front passing north of Southern New England helped raise temperatures into the upper 50's, with 58 degrees reported at Logan Airport. Also, this occurred within one hour of sunset.
With the help of the warm front, temperatures will stay quite mild. Also, our dewpoint temperatures will be increasing, as the atmosphere will be able to hold more moisture. This will create some patchy drizzle, along with patchy fog. The best chance of this occurring will be along the southern coastline. Patchy fog may become dense, and create zero visibility. So, please be careful if you have to drive in those conditions.
We will see limited sunshine and breezy conditions on Monday, as a strong cold front inches closer to the east coast. We will see a high in the lower 70's, but then temperatures will fall about 20 degrees after the front passes. Along the front will be some very heavy rainfall. Due to the speed of the front, we could see up to an inch and a half of rainfall by early Wednesday morning. High pressure will build behind the front and give us mostly sunny skies into Friday. But, it will take a while for high temperatures to reach seasonable conditions.
As we look ahead to next weekend, a cold front in the Ohio River Valley Friday afternoon will bring showers ahead of it. We will see some showers by late Saturday morning. The shower activity will be steady through the middle of next Sunday morning. We may see some limited sunshine by the afternoon. High temperatures will reach the upper 50's to near 60 degrees.
72 hour forecast:
Tonight: Partly cloudy with a low of 54. Patchy fog and drizzle is possible within the Boston area by 3 a.m.
Monday: Partly sunny and windy with a high of 73. Winds will come from the south-southwest at 20-25 mph with occasional gusts of 35 mph.
Monday night: Cloudy skies and windy with showers developing by 1 a.m. and a low of 54. Winds will come from the south-southwest at 16-19 mph.
Tuesday: Breezy with moderate showers in the morning will become moderate to heavy rain by the evening commute. We will see a high of 66.
Tuesday night: Moderate to heavy rain tapers to showers by 4 a.m. Showers end by 8 a.m. It will be colder with the low falling to 37.
Wednesday: Partly cloudy and cooler with a high of 46.
Wednesday night: Partly cloudy with a low of 34.
Extended Forecast:
Thursday: Mostly sunny. Highs 45-48, lows 34-37.
Friday: Mostly sunny. Highs 49-52, lows 38-41.
Saturday: Overcast with showers developing by the late morning. Highs 54-57, lows 41-44.
Sunday: Scattered showers end by mid-morning, and becoming partly sunny by the afternoon. Highs 57-60, lows 43-46.

Lady Raiders Travel To Oklahoma To Take On Sooners
Jan. 25, 2001
Complete Release in PDF Format
#8/9 Texas Tech Lady Raiders (15-2, 6-0 Big 12)
January 28, 2001 * Norman, Okla. * Noon
Today's Game
Scouting the Opponent
On the year, Caufield paces the Sooners in scoring with a 16.6 average followed by Dales at 16.1 and Hill at 12.3. Hill is the top rebounder, grabbing 8.7 boards per outing. Dales has a team-high 133 assists, while Caufield leads the Sooners in steals with 80. Junior Jennifer Cunningham is the top shot blocker with 25 blocks. The Sooners are shooting 48.3 percent from the field, 40.4 percent from three-point range and 73.4 percent from the free throw line.
Sherri Coale is in her fifth season at the helm of the Sooners, establishing a record of 67-67.
Series Record
Last Time vs. Oklahoma
Tech had seven free throws during the final minute as foul trouble caused the Sooners to lose Caton Hill four minutes after losing Phylesha Whaley.
Tech led 36-29 at halftime but Oklahoma used 21-8 run early in the second half to get even at 50-50. Stacey Dales' basket put the Sooners ahead 52-50 with 14:08 to play.
Thirty seconds later, Dickerson tied the game with a field goal, and Aleah Johnson made a free throw moments later to put the Lady Raiders ahead for good.
Plenette Pierson contributed 18 points for Tech and Johnson, Melinda Schmucker-Pharies and Katrisa O'Neal each contributed 12.
LaNeishea Caufield led the Sooners with 29. Stacey Dales added 22 and Whaley 18.
A Look Ahead
Lady Raider Head Coach Marsha Sharp
A 1974 graduate of Wayland Baptist University, Sharp was named the National Coach of the Year in 1993 and 1994. She also reaped SWC Coach of the Year honors seven times, five consecutively.
The Last Time Out
The ninth-ranked Lady Raiders held Oklahoma State to just eight points in the first half en route to winning 82-29, Texas Tech's nation-leading 39th straight home victory.
Tech coach Marsha Sharp liberally used her reserves, including six first-year players.
There was one down point Sunday for Tech - starter Amber Tarr dislocated her knee cap early in the game. She has averaged 11.5 points this season.
The Lady Raiders limited Oklahoma State to 8-of-45 shooting from the floor, and forced 26 turnovers that led to 28 points. Texas Tech also outrebounded Oklahoma State 51-31.
But Tech (15-2, 6-0 Big 12) led 45-8 at halftime, the lowest point total ever for a Lady Raiders' opponent at the half. Katrisa O'Neal outscored Oklahoma State by herself with 10 points by the break. Freshman Jia Perkins led Tech with 19 points overall.
The Cowgirls (9-8, 1-5) were led by Jessica Spinner's nine points.
Texas Tech led 12-0 after 5 1/2 minutes, when Oklahoma State's Shelby Hutchens finally broke the drought. Then, after a 3-pointer by Oklahoma State's Kara Faulk with 13:27 left in the half, Tech closed the period with a 27-1 run. It took until 16:28 of the second half for Oklahoma State to hit double digits - a 3-pointer by Spinner prompted Tech's student section to chant "double digits" and wave red and white balloons.
It was Oklahoma State's first basket since a free throw with 8:49 left in the first half.
With just more than eight minutes left, Tech padded its lead to 47 points. That's when the Lady Raiders' freshmen took the court.

Junior Natasha Tomishima went 5-0 over the weekend, helping the Salukis improve to 6-3 on the year.
Feb. 23, 2014
SEMO Results | UT Martin Results
Tim McCaughan
CARBONDALE, Ill. - The Southern Illinois women's tennis team picked up doubleheader wins over UT Marin and SEMO at Sports Blast on Sunday. The Salukis defeated the Skyhawks 5-2 while besting the Redhawks 4-3 to pick up its sixth straight win of the season. SIU (6-3) has been on fire of late and during its current homestand they are undefeated at 5-0.
"I think we had a really solid weekend," said head coach Audra Anderson. "I can see we are making progress, especially in doubles. I'm proud of the girls."
Junior Natasha Tomishima led the Salukis over the weekend with a combined 5-0 record in both doubles and singles action. Against UT Martin, Tomishima bested Ivon Semic 6-4, 6-3 before defeating Valeriia Kashina of SEMO 7-6 (6), 6-1 in the nightcap to pick up her fourth straight singles win. Tomishima and partner Meagan Monaghan took down a Skyhawk duo at the No. 1 doubles slot, 8-2.
Polina Dozortseva won each of her matches today. She started the day with a 6-1, 6-2 win over UT Martin's Jessica Silva before clinching the win for the Salukis against SEMO with a 7-5, 6-4 win at the No. 5 spot.
Freshman Lauren Hoekstra picked a win over Katie McCall in the first match and Anita Lee won in convincing fashion against Erica Donetckova of SEMO, 6-0, 6-0. Monaghan picked up a win against UT Martin, defeating Hitomi Naito 6-3, 6-1.
Southern will be back in action Mar. 1 when they play host to Cleveland State to close out its six-match homestand. First serve set for 11 a.m.

College Hockey:Experienced roster, last season's late success make Wisconsin a favorite
After winning the postseason title in its last season in the WCHA, Wisconsin looks poised to find success in the Big Ten this season.
One thing the Badgers have going for them is experience, with the team returning a majority of its scoring leaders from last season. The lack of turnover led to the Badgers being picked as the preseason favorite in the conference by the coaches.
"It's almost a natural thing to happen because of the fact that we are an upperclassmen team," Wisconsin coach Mike Eaves said at the league's media day. "I don't think it changes anything we do in terms of our expectations and the way we want to conduct our business."
Three of the four Badgers players with 30 or more points last season — Michael Mersch, Mark Zengerle and Tyler Barnes — were juniors and will return for their senior seasons. Nic Kerdiles was one of the nation's top-scoring freshmen last season with 11 goals and 22 assists in 32 games.
This season, Kerdiles will make the move from wing to center.
"Nic has been a center in his life, I think he likes that position," Eaves said. "I think he gets more touches in the middle, so it's a pretty natural progression."
Wisconsin also will have experience between the pipes in juniors Joel Rumpel and Landon Peterson. They split time early the past two seasons, with Rumpel getting most of the calls later in the year.
"In the beginning of the year, we've done this the last couple of years, we've switched back and forth," Eaves said. "And then at the end of the year you want to see who is doing well and who has the hot hand and you try to ride them a little bit more."
Even on a team loaded with experience, Eaves said that he fully expects to need to call on his younger players at some point during the season.
"We've brought in five young men," Eaves said. "Out of that five, we'll need a couple of them to step up and hopefully be positive factors after Christmastime, because it will take a little bit to get used to this level."
The Badgers' incoming freshmen are Grant Besse, Aidan Cavallini, Tim Davison, Corbin McGuire and Jedd Soleway.
About the Badgers
2012-13 record: 22-13-7
2012-13 WCHA record: 13-8-7 (tie-fourth)
2013-14 predicted finish (coaches' poll): First
Key losses: F Derek Lee, D John Ramage
Players to watch: F Tyler Barnes, F Michael Mersch, F Mark Zengerle, G Joel Rumpel
Impact rookie: F Grant Besse
Why the Badgers will match their selection in the coaches' poll: Nic Kerdiles could be in for a big season after switching from wing to center, which could be a scary thing for opponents because he averaged more than one point per game as a freshman.
Why the Badgers will finish lower than the coaches' poll: The Badgers suffered from a slow start last season, going 2-7-5 in their first 14 games. If they have a similar start this year, and another team in the small six-team conference gets hot early, the hole may be too large to climb out of. That being said, the Badgers don't play a conference game until late November.

Is it a boy or a girl?
I know you've always wanted to know how to sex an isopod but were afraid to ask. So, here is how you do it and you don't even have to kill the poor creature. First, you catch the isopod between your thumb and 1st finger*. (No, they don't bite and if you hold the isopod gently it will survive the process without any trauma.)
Then, you turn the isopod upside down and look between its hind legs (where else?). If it is a male, there will be at least a pair of long blade-like appendages lying flat near the isopod's posterior end (arrows in the picture below). Those are the modified endopodites of pleopods (inner branches of biramous abdominal limbs) that have evolved to perform the function of sperm transfer. I have magnified pictures of them in this post.
A male Armadillidium nasatum. The arrows point at the pair of modified pleopods.
The females, on the other hand, do not have any external genitalia. So, the absence of modified pleopods means the specimen is a female. It is best to try to sex the largest specimens; I don't know how early during their development the pleopods of males become easily distinguishable from those of females.
Full frontal nudity: this is a female Armadillidium nasatum. Compare with the picture of the male above. Isopods can also be captured and hold with light-weight tweezers.
If you don't have a stereomicroscope, a magnifying glass will help during these procedures.
*I learned this from Stephen Hopkin's A key to the woodlice of Britain and Ireland (Field Studies 7:599-650, 1991; also available as a separate booklet from the NHBS Environment Bookstore).

Institutional Scholarships
To receive institutional scholarships from Calvary, a student must be degree-seeking and enrolled in at least 12 credit hours in a traditional semester program; have determined financial need (FAFSA must be completed); after the first semester, satisfactory academic progress must be maintained; Calvary must have funds available for scholarships; and certain other academic or special qualifications may be necessary, depending on the scholarship.
To apply for institutional scholarships, you must download and submit a scholarship application to the Financial Aid Office.
The Student Aid Committee awards Calvary scholarships. The Committee may modify scholarship requirements to meet available funds and other special situations, and its deliberations and decisions are confidential.
Calvary receives an institutional copy of your FAFSA (called an ISIR) approximately two weeks after you've completed it. Calvary must receive your ISIR in order to be considered for institutional scholarships.
Calvary funded scholarships are awarded to cover tuition and fees at Calvary Bible College only. Student payments including outside scholarships, Pell Grant, Student Loans, and all other sources of payments on a student account are applied to a student's billing charges first, then Calvary funded scholarships are applied to any remaining balance. Any resulting credit balance is left on the student's account, and can be used in future semesters. Calvary does not pay out credit balances created by Calvary funded scholarships to students. If the student ceases attending Calvary any remaining credit balance resulting from Calvary funded scholarships will result in a reduction of previously awarded scholarships to zero out the students balance.

Inbetweeners Movie Reviews
User reviews on Inbetweeners
Boys will be boys, which even in the UK apparently means that boys will behave badly. Thankfully for us in the audience, the bad boys in The Inbetweeners are a bunch of socially awkward and sexually frustrated nerd alerts that decide to go on vacation to, well, get some. After all, no one in their own country will so much as look at them, so there's got to be a girl abroad who will like them...or at least give them a second peek, right? Well, not exactly, so they spend a lot of time talking about going up to pretty girls but then losing their nerve at the last moment and drowning their sorrows in buckets of alcohol that they cannot possibly hold (there's a lot of barf in this movie). In the end, the movie is not about the hijinks of the four friends but the deep bond that they share and how that will sustain them as they move into adulthood. Sometimes what you want most in life - and even what you need most - is already right in your possession. You just have to wake up to the reality of your life!
Okay, so sue me, I'm a sucker for an awkward teenage boy! There's just something about the Urkel types that just really gets to me. It must be the reason that people like to root for an underdog, and in this movie we have four of them. They remind me of myself when I was younger though I'm a grown woman now. Part of what makes this buddy comedy so fun is that the main characters are so hilariously awkward and out of their element that anyone who was never head cheerleader or quarterback of the football team should be able to relate. Mind you, this is hardly high brow cinema so don't buy your ticket thinking you'll be privy to some kind of elevated form of British mass entertainment a la Wallace & Gromit. This movie is plain raunch and fun all throughout and it doesn't make any apologies for being silly, stupid, and senseless. As long as you bring your sense of humor and your memories from high school, you will have a joyous time.
I have had the good fortune of seeing the original British si. coon which this movie is based so I knew immediately what to expect and where the movie would go with these four hilariously nerdy dorks. They are the best of buds in high school though they love to tear each other apart with ribald jokes and trash talk that would make anyone even remotely sensitive blush with embarrassment. My friends and I all talk to each other like this which is why I enjoyed the movie so much. It's so relatable to anyone who's ever had a bunch of best buds in high school. I hope that when I graduate high school I get to take the trip of my dreams though I promise to myself and my folks I'll behave better than what they show in The Inbetweeners (haha). This is a fun movie to see with your buds and see how people from all over the world really are very similar in the most basic of ways. A lot of fun!
Heaven help me if this is what I can expect my teenage boys to be up to once they graduate high school and head off shore to vacation with their friends. My boys insisted that I take them to see the movie because it looks "so funny, mom!" and I relented (hey, I'm a softie) and I now regret my decision. The movie shows four teenage boys acting like lewd and randy bunny rabbits that want nothing more than to drink and ogle girls they are too scared to talk to or touch. It's supposed to be cute in a "aren't they so nerdy?" kind of way, but I wish they would make a movie that showed teenage boys on the cusp of manhood had more to do than just think about their own gratification and objectifying girls and young women. I remember being that age and even though some of what they show is true, it's a gross caricature and I think anyone who is halfway responsible will know that this is too much farce to believe. Role models, please!
The boys in this movie may be British but they remind me of every guy in my high school. All they seem to care about is breaking out of their inner nerd and becoming some kind of ladykiller cassanova, lol. Of course, none of them have a prayer and I think in that sense this movie is true to life. Of course, there are a few stipulations like how the guys involved go to Crete to drink and find pretty girls to mess around with, but since they are such dorks, they mostly just drink. I think it was funny how the group of friends tried to help one another get over their individual insecurities, but that's what you expect in a buddy comedy. It's not unlike a lot of mainstream Hollywood movies like American Pie or Superbad, though this one is smarter and I think funnier. It's supposed to be the most successful British comedy of all time so I guess it resonates with the Brits as well as some of us americanos.
Woe the weight of expectations. I went into this movie (for some reason) thinking that it would be a smarter and wittier version of the many Hollywood comedies about gawky, awkward teenage boys who seek the pleasures of the flesh while on vacation (or any random party night in the grand ol' U.S. of A). This British teenage comedy about four male friends seeking a good time is pretty much the same thing – nay, it's exactly the same thing – except that they say "holiday" instead of "vacation". Hollywood is notorious for taking edgy British entertainment and dumbing it down for American mainstream audiences. For once, the inverse is true, and there's nothing to brag about in the end result.
I am not a native of Britain but I am told that the movie is based on a cult TV hit in the UK that ran from 2008 to 2010. The "inbetween" part of the title suggests that these are four young men or old boys on the cusp of adulthood who aren't quite ready to give up their yen for behaving like unbathed and horny bunny rabbits. Their only concern
is losing their virginity (or what's left of it) and yet somehow these movies always end up being about the bond between friends. Four British teens take a holiday to Crete where wackiness ensues. There's many a bum joke, a few times when erections won't happen despite their best efforts, and plenty of scatological humor. It's basically a British rehash of Superbad and elements of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Intermittently amusing, I can sum up the whole movie in one word: "meh".
The whole thing would hardly be above the level of Saved By the Bell Goes to Hawaii were it not for the pitch perfect comic timing of Simon Bird, who plays the uber nerd Will McKenzie. His facial expressions in every close up communicate more than the other three possibly can with punchline after punchline. But apart from Simon, there is much to be desired from the rest of the movie which could certainly benefit from the presence of a parent or authority figure and a female character who was more than the sum of her flirtatious body parts. I doubt this review will change much (if anything) to the legions of raunchy bromance comedies being made as I type, but maybe next time they can opt for the path less traveled: make the foursome female, or gay, or handicapped, or Mormons.
I kind of liked this film and had fun watching it, I am not sure if it is worth seeing in the theaters but you might enjoy watching it at the comfort of your home. This film reminded me of American Pie but it is a British version of it and I definitely learned some hilarious slang. Some people might find this film to be vulgar but I thought it was really funny and it also had sweet and heartfelt moments which I really enjoyed. Overall, I think that a lot of people will be able to relate to this film and enjoy it as much as I did.

The main objectives of the mission were: 1) physical studies of the planetary system; 2) detailed study of cold circumstellar dust clouds; 3) a search for the enigmatic brown dwarfs; 4) extension of IRAS studies of forming stars to lower temperatures and luminosities; 5) identification and study of powerful infrared galaxies; and, 6) infrared measurements of all presently catalogued quasars.
The spacecraft was conceived as a long duration facility serviceable by the Shuttle or at a manned space station. Unlike IRAS (Infrared Astronomical Satellite), which swept rapidly across the sky, SIRTF was to be a true observatory, carrying a variety of focal plane instruments. The instruments selected included: 1) a wide field and high resolution camera covering the 2 to 30 micron region with large monolithic detector arrays; 2) an imaging photometer, with small arrays of high sensitivity detectors covering the spectral range from 3 to 700 microns; 3) a spectrometer operating out to 200 microns with resolving power from 50 to >1000. The instrument sensitivity was expected to be increased by a factor of 100 to 1000 over that of IRAS, and the spatial resolution was to be at least a factor of 10 times finer than IRAS.
The Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF), last of NASA's Great Observatories, was built by Lockheed Martin/Sunnyvale with the Cryogenic Telescope Assembly (CTA) built by Ball; management was by JPL with science operations at the SIRTF Science Center in Pasadena. SIRTF followed on the US/UK/Netherlands IRAS sky survey satellite (1983) and ESA's ISO observatory (1995-98). The US Defense Dept.'s MSX (1996-1997) was another notable IR mission which made a galactic plane survey. The other Great Observatories were the Hubble Space Telescope, the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, and the Chandra X-ray Observatory.
SIRTF was placed in a solar orbit. The so-called 'Earth-trailing orbit' had the advantage that the infrared-bright Earth was very far away, and didn't block out large interesting pieces of the sky SIRTF might want to look at or interfere with the cryogenic cooling of the telescope.
SIRTF had a 0.85-meter infrared telescope, with a liquid-helium cooled focal plane carrying the three main instruments, IRAC, IRS and MIPS. IRAC (built by Giovanni Fazio's team at the Harvard-Smithsonian) was a near infrared camera imaging in the 3 to 8 micron range. IRS was a spectrograph covering the mid infrared 5 to 40 micron range. The MIPS far infrared Multiband Imaging Photometer covered the 12 to 160 micron range. The spacecraft was 4.45m high and 2.11m in diameter. It had solar arrays which were mounted along one side of the telescope and acted as a sunshield. The telescope observed anywhere on a strip of sky roughly perpendicular to the line joining SIRTF to the Sun, with about 35 percent of the sky visible to SIRTF at any one time. The spacecraft had a dry mass of 851 kg; at launch it carried 50 kg of helium cryogen, 16 kg of nitrogen for attitude control, and a 6 kg telescope cover which was ejected in solar orbit, for a total mass of 923 kg.
AKA: Space Infrared Telescope Facility.

PCC in the News
News: 2014 PCC Preview: A New Cast For Women's Volleyball
After last season's Cinderella run in the regional playoffs, the Pasadena City College women's volleyball team starts the 2014 season with practically a whole new lineup under second-year, interim head coach Bill Sanchez.
The Lancers, ranked No. 14 in last year's final CCCWVCA State Top 25 poll, bring back just one player from the '13 team in defensive specialist/libero Saige Spence. She averaged 2.5 digs per set and totaled 36 digs in a 5-set loss to Orange Coast early last year.
PCC will fill in veteran leadership with two transfers from Glendale College and another from East Los Angeles. Sabrina Takeuchi takes over the important libero position after averaging 4.07 digs a set last season for the Vaqueros. Megan Williams, originally from Oregon, is the Lancers' new starting setter. She was one of Glendale's two setters last year and averaged 2.94 assists. Williams should be one of the Lancers' top serving specialists as she led the Vaqueros with 37 aces and a 0.46 per set average.
At outside hitter, sophomore Amber Maldonado is an experienced sophomore who returns to the sport after last playing at ELAC in 2010. Redshirt freshman Carmina Ortiz (Azusa High), who played on the PCC badminton team earlier this year, is slated to be a starting outside hitter while newcomer Michelle Boyd (Verdugo HIlls High) is expected to be a starter at either the right side (RS) position or OH. Another right side candidate is Hailey Abdul-Malik (Monrovia High).
PCC is hurt by the loss of its two 2013 All-South Coast Conference First Team middle hitters, Angela Banuelos and Kendra Logan, both who will not be academically eligible for this season. Despite the setback, the Lancers have discovered a duo that could be strongpoints in the middle in freshmen Chy'annea Hodges (Muir High) and Lahiz Longobardi (from Brazil). Even though she is new to the sport, Hodges has impressed the coaches, including assistants Kari Post and Jerry Checinksi, with her strength and raw blocking skills. The 5-foot-9 Hodges will also be a member of the PCC women's basketball team, her primary sport in high school.
The Lancers aren't expected to replace the power offense supplied by last year's All-Southern California Region outside hitter Nora To'omalatai, who earned a scholarship to Northwestern Oklahoma State University (expected to redshirt and play as a junior in 2015). However, Sanchez is hopeful that a different style will benefit the team.
"We're smaller, but I think more athletic and a better defensive team than last season," Sanchez said. "We're disappointed to not bring back the two middles, but Hodges is a tremendous athlete who could be impressive once she picks up some experience in early matches. We are going to work on conditioning and push the players to become a tight-knit unit on the floor."
The Lancers '14 roster is rounded out by freshmen in outside hitters Eugenia Mendez (Gladstone High) and Perla Mora (St. Genevieve), and defensive specialists Ruby Nguyen (Gabrielino) and Remington Moore (La Canada).
PCC may add a few more players to the roster in the next few weeks, according to Sanchez.
The Lancers open the new season on Friday, Aug. 29 with a 5 p.m. match at Mt. San Jacinto College. They continue a tour in San Diego County with two matches at the Grossmont Quad Tournament on Saturday, Aug. 30. Pasadena faces Palomar in a 12 noon affair before facing last season's CCCAA State runner-up Grossmont at 4 p.m.
PCC's complete 2014 schedule is at the following link:

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Justice today announced a proposed settlement with Costco resulting from violations of the federal Clean Air Act. As a result of the settlement, Costco will be fined $335,000 and required to spend nearly $2 million to fix refrigerant leaks and make other improvements.
The settlement applies to 274 of Costco's stores nationwide. The company operates 466 warehouse stores in the United States and additional stores worldwide. It has 67 stores in California, including two here in Bakersfield.
The violations resulted from Costco's failure to promptly repair refrigeration equipment leaks of R-22, a powerful ozone-depleting hydrochlorofluorocarbon refrigerant, between 2004 and 2007. R-22 is a powerful greenhouse gas as well, with 1,800 times more global warming potential than carbon dioxide.
Costco also failed to keep adequate service records of its refrigeration equipment related to leaks.
The company must now replace or retrofit refrigeration equipment at 30 of its stores as part of the settlement. In addition, it must implement a refrigerant management plan to prevent and repair coolant leaks such that its corporate-wide average leak rate is reduced by 19 percent or more by 2017. Additionally, all of its new stores will be required to have environmentally friendly glycol refrigeration systems and centrally monitored leak detection systems.
EPA estimates that the settlement will prevent the release of more than 52.5 tons of refrigerants that destroy the ozone layer. In addition, the reductions will be equivalent to 30,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year.
"Cutting harmful greenhouse gas emissions is a national priority for EPA, and this settlement will lead to significant reductions of an ozone-depleting gas that is 1,700 times more potent than carbon dioxide," said Cynthia Giles, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. "Fixing leaks of refrigerants, improving compliance and reducing emissions will make a real difference in protecting us from the dangers of ozone depletion, while reducing the impact on climate change."
The proposed settlement is subject to a 30 day public comment period.

I have seen people mention (reference) "monitors" when talking about equipment for (semi)-professional musicians, but when I google the products I find that they look just like the boxes that we used to call "loudspeakers". What is the difference, if any, between the two?
There are (at least) two types of speakers referred to as monitors, and (at least) two types of speakers referred to as loudspeakers:
The important difference between stereo loudspeakers and studio monitors is that the former are often voiced in a way that affects sound away from what is recorded; e.g. some may be bass heavy, or have a smile shaped frequency response curve etc. Ideally, studio monitors do not introduce any color of their own, but, again ideally, perfectly reproduce the recorded sound being played back on them. This reflects the different purposes: the former are designed for enjoyment, the later are designed for critical listening.
Here's a nice Sound On Sound article on the differences between regular speakers and studio monitors, and another one.
It's really just a matter of degree.
Monitors are loudspeakers, but you would expect them to be flat, clean & accurate, just the thing to use in your studio - & consequently expensive; whereas generic 'loudspeakers' could be the things in your boom box, or even your alarm clock, right up to your hi-fi.
Often they don't look particularly impressive compared to expensive hi-fi, because they aren't designed to look good, but sound accurate.
Good, clear answer by @Tetsujin.
Just one thing to add: when musicians talk about monitors in a live setting, this can refer informally to foldback monitors, also known as stage monitors. These are rear facing loudspeakers (usually) which allow musicians to hear what they are playing, and a mix of the other musicians playing with them. This allows musicians to have a clear mix of whichever instrumental/vocal parts they want to hear, and also means that musicians don't have to rely upon listening to the main PA speakers, which are usually in front of them anyway.
As mentioned in other answers there are different uses of the word "monitor". The most common usage in music production is the special speakers the sound engineer / producer uses to listen to the mix.
What does that mean?
If you look at the fourier transform (the frequency domain) of a balanced frequency spectrum (the full range of frequencies from low to high at the same amplitude (loudness)) you will see spike spikes at each frequency present. If you play that signal through a pair of small cheap speakers - recording the signal as it comes out of the speakers and then again look at the frequency domain you will most likely see that the spikes at the high frequencies are a bit distorted (bigger or smaller) from the org signal but the spikes for frequencies at the bass end (low freq) will have much less amplitude - indicating that the speakers have unintentionally removed bass frequencies (small speakers can't reproduce all the long waveforms in bass frequencies). Other speaks might distort (boost or cut) the higher frequencies.
Expensive studio monitors however should produce a freqency domain spectrum very similar to that of the original signal - the signal has not had any frequencies boosted or cut by the monitors - they faithfully reproduce the original sound by maintaining the same power at each frequency present in the signal.
As a volunteer sound guy, I feel like I have to weigh in here. I think Tetsujin and Dave have explained the technical side very well, but there's also a practical side:
If you want good sound, you must keep the stage as quiet as possible!
Even for rock concerts.
Most performers will ask for more of something in their (foldback) monitors because they can't hear it. Maybe themselves, maybe someone else that they need to sync with, etc. If the sound guy only turns things up like the performer asks, there will be a point where the PA is completely worthless because the monitors are actually that loud. It can also be difficult to mix the house when the mics have so much "background noise" from the monitors, not to mention that annoying and embarrassing feedback squeal.
Instead, a good sound guy will also listen to the monitors himself, to determine what the performers might be hearing too much of, and turn that down.
In-ear monitors are nice too. They keep the stage dead quiet except for the performers' own, direct sound. But the sound guy should still listen to them, one at a time, through the console's headphones, so that he can turn things down as before and avoid breaking the performers' ears.
Monitor speakers are speakers that play the plain sound without distortion through the frequency range. They are designed to allow you to hear exactly the electronic sound.
"Monitor" is a specialist type of loudspeaker.
Most loudspeakers do not provide such a uniform frequency response.
Most loudspeakers have all different kinds of frequency response, but it is not uniform.
So the only special thing about a 'monitor' loudspeaker is that it has a flat and uniform frequency response throughout the range.
As an aside, this flat frequency response comes usually at the expense of efficiency. Take for example a guitar cabinet, it will be very loud for the power in watts that goes in, this is great efficiency of power in -> sound out.
But to make a monitor loudspeaker it typically requires a great sacrifice in volume; monitors need more power in to deliver the same volume of perceived loudness. They tend to need to sacrifice efficiency in the design, in order to be capable of achieving the 'flat frequency response'.

HTC Hero (Predator?) apparently confirmed for Verizon
When Verizon announced that it has partnered with Google in order to launch several Android phones, it didn't unveil the phones' names.
However, everyone believes that one of them is the Motorola Droid / Tao / Sholes.
But what about the other ones? Well, Verizon has published a photo with two of its officials holding two Android devices. On the right, it looks like we have the Moto Sholes, while one the left – surprise – is an HTC smartphone that looks a bit like Sprint's HTC Hero.
BGR says that the Hero is confirmed for Verizon and it should come sometime in November, although it may have a different name. HTC Predator, perhaps? We'll find out soon. Until then, one thing's certain: Verizon is taking Android seriously.

Shaking Legs Syndrome Is Curable
General Health News - G J E 4
Restlessness and a compulsive need to shake legs while sitting or lying down is a treatable health problem, but the Indian medical fraternity is not aware of it.
The condition, called Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), makes it difficult for patients to sit down comfortably during air travel, long drives or even while watching a movie, say experts.
AdvertisementNot many people in India are aware about RLS, which is accompanied in many cases by a tingling and painful sensation in the limb.
"In India there is hardly any awareness about the syndrome among physicians, let alone the common people," said J.C. Suri, senior chest physician and head of the sleep disorder department at the Safdarjung Hospital here.
"People may not be aware that the problem can be treated after proper evaluation and diagnosis," Suri told IANS.
Most cases diagnosed by Suri were on the basis of symptoms with not even the patients or their earlier physicians recognising the problem.
"Many of the people had come to us after consultations with neurologists and other specialists. RLS is generally secondary to other problems. It is not very common as an isolated problem," said Suri.
A common indication of the problem is periodic leg movement and restlessness even during sleep. In around 70 percent of the patients, there could be muscle twitching too.
Considered to be a form of sleep disorder, RLS can have significant physical and emotional effect on sufferers, many of whom tend to get more restless towards the evening and are unable to sleep properly.
"RLS is a real medical condition like diabetes, depression or high blood pressure," said Sunil Sharma, Indian-origin director, Sleep Medicine Research, University of South Carolina.
"The symptoms may interfere with their sleep and as a result they may feel sleepy during the day, too tired to participate in their daily activities."
Results of a multi-centric trial in Europe and the US, published in the Journal of Sleep Medicine 2004, found 23,000 people suffering from RLS, indicating the large number of people who go undiagnosed for their problem.
In the US and Europe, studies have indicated that almost 10 percent of the population suffer from this problem. But in India no proper estimates have been made.
A study by the US-based NATIONAL CENTER ON SLEEP DISORDERS RESEARCH (NCSDR) however states: "A lower prevalence of the condition has been found in India, Japan and Singapore, indicating that racial or ethnic factors are associated with RLS.
"Iron deficiency and folic acid deficiency, both of which are highly prevalent in India, can lead to this problem," said Sharma, who is researching on the link between RLS and sleep apnea (severe snoring problem).
The problem could be genetic for patients aged below 40 years.
"But for those over 40 years of age with no genetic link, it could be due to underlying causes like iron and folic acid deficiency, particularly during pregnancy, diabetes or due to medications," said Sharma.
"Non-ergotamine dopamine agonist has been found very effective in 80 percent of RLS cases. Benzodiazines and other options are also available."
Sharma's advice for relief is to improve sleep schedule and reduce the intake of alcohol and tobacco, besides medication. A cold compress and massage of the affected parts can also help ease the painful sensation.
For those seeking help, the US-based Restless Leg Syndrome Foundation offers online advice.

Can a Beneficiary Waive Their Rights to an Inherited IRA to Another Person?
Original post by Nola Moore of Demand Media
When it comes to inheritance, IRAs can be a bit tricky. In most cases, the IRA owner directs succession by naming primary and secondary beneficiaries on a beneficiary form. Any of these beneficiaries can choose to disclaim the inheritance, but the results of that refusal can vary depending on who the beneficiary is and how the form was filled out (or not).
Pre-Death Spousal Waiver
If you are married, your spouse essentially has the right of first refusal on your IRA savings. If you know in advance that you want to pass your IRA directly on to someone else -- a child, for instance -- a spousal waiver is required. Fortunately, it's very easy to do. Simply fill out your IRA beneficiary form with the name of your desired beneficiary(ies) and have your spouse sign off where indicated. This remains in effect until you change the designation or die, whichever comes first.
Beneficiary Disclaiming
When an heir or other beneficiary refuses an inheritance, it's called "disclaiming." But if you disclaim an IRA, you also release your right to say what happens to the money. You don't have to refuse the entire inheritance, though -- you can keep part of it and let the rest go. Whatever portion of the account you disclaim is treated as though you had died prior to the IRA owner, and follows the IRA rules of succession. Beneficiaries must specifically disclaim their inheritance in writing, no more than nine months following the death of the IRA owner.
Rules of Succession
IRAs typically have a primary beneficiary and a secondary, or contingent beneficiary. Sometimes there is more than one beneficiary at either level. If a primary beneficiary disclaims her portion of the IRA, two things can happen. If the IRA owner made a "per stirpes" designation, the beneficiary's portion of the IRA passes in equal portions to her heirs, usually a spouse or child. If there are no heirs or there is no "per stirpes" designation, the IRA goes in full to the other primary beneficiaries. If there are no other primaries, it passes to the contingent beneficiaries. If the IRA owner did not have a beneficiary form, the probate court decides succession, and it may or may not follow the owner's will.
Spousal Priviledge
It's worth noting that spousal beneficiaries of IRA owners have special privileges. Rather than treating the IRA as an inherited account -- and taking required distributions -- a spousal beneficiary can elect to treat the IRA as his own. This means that the IRS treats the inherited account balance as if it always belonged to the spouse, and he can make a new beneficiary form. Upon death, the inherited IRA follows the new beneficiary form or probate court rulings designating the spouse's heirs.

Thank you for posting back your comments. Your blog seems to have the same problem as my other two blogs: if you have sth else using the AJAX Search (in your case the video bar) then the new widget doesn't include the new labels in the search line, but show only the "site:yoursite" content. Let me look further more on why is that.

Will consider your other a,b, c, comments in the revising widget.

Maybe you can try having a test blog with some labels, etc. without the video search bar, then try my widget, then maybe you can help me solve the mystery.

Thanks again,Hoctrohttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555010.post-22709704285666144512010-08-19T06:43:45.085-07:002010-08-19T06:43:45.085-07:00Hi! Congrats on the approach.

I have installed it but found that the first result is always my blog's address, either from the main page or from a post page.

I left it in the left column, at the bottom, in case you want to see it. It is in Spanish, but you'll see what I mean.

It would be great:

a) To be able to define # of results
b) To show a thumbnail image
c) Maybe to add other funcionality, like "Sites linking to this page" (anything from Google should be easier with all the code you've made)

Again, congratulations and thanks!Leo Picciolihttp://email@example.com

Walmart can afford the best-paid public relations team, but spin doesn't make a difference when it's immediately contradicted by a leaked document.
Warehouse workers have raised serious concerns about broken equipment and high injury rates in the warehouses they work in, moving Walmart merchandise. But when they have asked for working equipment, they have been retaliated against.
Walmart spokesperson Dan Fogelman said "workers' claims were 'either unfounded, or if they are legitimate, have been addressed.'" (Los Angeles Times, Sep. 17)
But a management document from inside the warehouse tells a different story. A worker found a company checklist with Walmart's logo on it that shows a lot of equipment is broken and even dangerous. The document is dated Aug. 8, but workers report that problems noted in the document still have not been fixed. (You can view the document here.)
Send an email to Walmart and NFI, the warehouse operator, and tell them they have been caught red handed.
This document proves Walmart and NFI know what the problems are, yet none of these serious hazards have been addressed.
Last week, warehouse workers delivered more than 120,000 signatures to Walmart in five cities. The next day, warehouse worker Javier Rodriguez cornered Walmart executive Rajan Kamalanathan, who heads the company's ethical outsourcing initiative, at a private event in Washington, D.C. In Illinois, workers at a Walmart distribution center joined warehouse workers on strike to end retaliation.
Walmart is feeling the heat and it knows there are problems. Help warehouse workers by sending Walmart and its contractor, NFI, an email today.

Being a parent is a busy lifestyle, add in working from home and it doubles how crazy the schedule can get. If you have younger kids it's even more difficult to work with a regular schedule and get everything else accomplished. So how do you make it work?
Here are some quick and easy things you can do to help add some consistency to the day and hopefully accomplish more on all your lists.
Set priorities
Knowing what's the most important and what can be pushed off for a while is the most important aspect of coordinating work and family under the same roof. You can set deadlines and meetings and goals, but unless you know exactly how much wiggle room you have and where the lines are drawn you can't stick with a schedule.
Plan ahead
Avoid creating a constant flow of last minute action oriented events if possible. Once in a while is ok, things come up and that's perfectly alright. But constantly going from one "fire" to the next is more tiring than it is productive. Instead try to plan ahead - look beyond the week and try to predict if not dictate what and how and where the hours will go.
Write it down
It's all find to be able to figure things out in your head or to have a mental idea of what's up. Yet it doesn't matter how grand your brain is -- if you add too much on to the pile you're bound to forget or overlook something and from there it's more likely to snowball. Write down your plans, your goals, your proposed schedule. Just because it's on paper doesn't mean it's permanent - it's not stone.
Balance it
The pressure of taking care of a family can be enormous - but earning an income is as important as loving the kiddos. As a result it's important to work both sides of your life into your schedule as equally as possible. Be realistic with how much work you can handle and how much time your kids can deal without your full attention. It's possible to work it out evenly, as long as your are open minded and realistic with your own needs and capabilities.
Be Flexible
No matter how much you plan, organize, look ahead, schedule or try to balance, there will be unexpected changes and snags. Sometimes good and something just plain inconvenient. Be prepared to the possibility and allow yourself the room to work with and adapt to the changes as needed. The world doesn't end when our schedules are thrown off, it just feels like it at the moment -- then we go to bed, wake up and start a whole new day.
Working from home is rewarding in so many ways, but it does take a lot of hard work on our parts to make it all flow like it needs to.
Do you have any tips for making it work?

[edit] Biographical Information
Birdie Lynn, the first of four players in the majors whose last name is Lynn, was a backup catcher on the Chicago White Sox from 1916 to 1920. He appeared for one at-bat in both the 1917 and the 1919 World Series. Although he never played in the majors after 1920, he was not one of the Black Sox players who got banned. He did not get much playing time for the White Sox as the regular catcher was Ray Schalk, a future Hall of Famer and probably the best backstop of his day.
He caught for the Phoenix Senators in 1915, getting a suspension in connection with an incident in which he broke an umpire's toe with his bat.
[edit] Notable Achievement
- Won a World Series with the Chicago White Sox in 1917

How do I compute $\text{(irrational)}^{\text{(irrational)}}$ up to a required number of decimals say m, in the fastest way ? (one way is of course compute both the irrational numbers to a precision much larger than m and then solve it... but you never know how much excess of m you will need to calculate the irrationals.. )

This is a further development on the ideas of Doug Spoonwood and phv3773.
Exponentiation $a^b$ is a continuous function, in both arguments, so we can use "interval methods" to calculate a number to any desired precision. Now I'm guessing you are only interested in real numbers, so I guess I can assume $a>0$, and since $a^{-b}=1/a^b=(1/a)^b$, we can also restrict our attention to $a>1$ and $b>0$. For fixed $b>0$, $a^b$ (the power function) is a strictly increasing function for $a\in(0,\infty)$, and for fixed $a>1$, $a^b$ (an exponential function) is strictly increasing for $b\in\Bbb R$.
Now suppose $a\in[a_-,a_+]$ and $b\in[b_-,b_+]$. In your application this would correspond to having calculated the irrationals $a$ and $b$ to some precision, and $a_-,a_+$ are your rational upper and lower bounds on the number you have calculated. (For example, if I calculate $a=\pi\approx3.14$ to that many digits of precision, rounded correctly, then $a\in[a_-,a_+]=[3.135,3.145]$.) Because $a^b$ is increasing in both arguments in the region of discussion, I know $$a_-^{b_-}\le a_-^b\le a^b\le a_+^b\le a_+^{b_+}$$ and hence $a^b\in[a_-^{b_-},a_+^{b_+}]$. This is Doug's "interval exponentiation" (suitably simplified for the case when $a>1$ and $b>0$).
These represent pessimistic bounds on the number being calculated, but they give a guarantee that the number you want is actually in that range.
A natural second question related to this process is which $a_-,a_+,b_-,b_+$ to choose. If you have an effective method for calculating $a$ and $b$ to whatever precision you need, then that means you can demand $a_+-a_-\le\delta$ and $b_+-b_-\le\delta'$ with your choice of $\delta,\delta'$. Our true goal is to get the range of our interval within some $\epsilon$, which is to say $a_+^{b_+}-a_-^{b_-}\le\epsilon$. A good estimate of what $\delta,\delta'$ to choose can be given by taking the partial derivatives of $a^b$ at the point of approximation:
$$(a+\alpha)^{b+\beta}\approx a^b+\alpha\frac\partial{\partial a}a^b+\beta\frac\partial{\partial b}a^b=a^b(1+\alpha \frac ba+\beta\log a)$$
(where $|\alpha|\le\delta/2$ and $|\beta|\le\delta'/2$). For good approximations, we want these two error terms to be comparable to one another. Thus we want $\frac{\delta a}b\approx\frac{\delta'}{\log a}\approx\frac\epsilon2a^b$. (I realize that this requires the computation of $a^b$, but this is just an estimate and need not be very accurate. The true test is when you calculate $a_+^{b_+}$ and $a_-^{b_-}$ and find that the difference is within your error bounds. If it isn't, just cut $\delta,\delta'$ in half until it is.)
As to the number of decimals m, I think that it should be possible to create an interval between upper and lower approximations using rational numbers. You can then examine how the interval between upper and lower decreases with more digits in the rational approximations.
This might work something like phv3773's idea, this probably works far too slowly for what you want, but maybe it's a decent idea. First as an example, consider calculating the product of two irrationals. We might use lower and upper approximations here. If we use lower approximations $l_1, l_2$, and upper approximations $u_1, u_2$ to irrationals $1$ and $2$, we have $$[l_1, u_1]*[l_2, u_2]=[\min\{l_1l_2, l_1u_2, u_1l_2, u_1u_2\},\max\{l_1l_2, l_1u_2, u_1l_2, u_1u_2\}]$$ where $*$ denotes interval number multiplication. We have $$\max\{l_1l_2, l_1u_2, u_1l_2, u_1u_2\} - \min\{l_1l_2, l_1u_2, u_1l_2, u_1u_2\}\le n$$ for some nonnegative $n$. Now $1$ decimal place corresponds to $n\le.1$, $2$ decimal places to $n\le.01$, and so on. So, for $k$ decimal place precision we just need to find $l_1, l_2, u_1, u_2$ such that $n$ is less than or equal to $10^{-k}$. You don't need to know what the irrationals are exactly, you just need to know that the irrationals lie between some rational numbers.
Now, interval exponentiation, like other interval arithmetic operations, if we can do such (if it "exists"), will yield an interval of numbers $[a, b]$. So, for $k$ decimal place precision we just need $n=b-a$ less than or equal to $10^{-k}$.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to do interval exponentiation. So, maybe it comes as a better idea to figure out how it works on the reals before trying this approach.
As others have suggested, I would use $a^b=\exp(b \log a)$. In this case, there is nothing special about $a,b$ being irrational. If $b$ is rational, we are probably in for irrationals because the denominator represents a root. To know the accuracy, we need to estimate how accurate each step has to be. We can take derivatives to assess this. First we need $a,b$ to be known well enough. We have $\Delta (a^b) \approx \frac {\partial (a^b)}{\partial b} \Delta a=a^b \log a \Delta b$, or the relative error in $a^b$ is a factor $\log a$ larger than the relative error in $b$. If $a$ is not too large, an extra decimal place or two will be enough. Similarly for errors in $a$, $\Delta (a^b) \approx \frac {\partial (a^b)}{\partial a} \Delta a=b\cdot a^{(b-1)} \log a \Delta a$ so if $b$ and $a$ are about the same magnitude, again a couple places will be enough. You can do similarly for errors in your $\log$ and $\exp$ functions and the multiply.

This year, Chinese New Year will be celebrated on February 14. It is the Year of the Tiger. (Twelve symbolic animals continually cycle through the Chinese lunisolar calendar, kept since ancient times.)
According to www.yearofthetiger.net, the Tiger is "the third sign in the Chinese Zodiac cycle and it is a sign of bravery. The Tiger is a courageous and fiery fighter, admired by the ancient Chinese as the sign that keeps away the three main tragedies of a household: fire, thieves and ghosts." People born in the year of the tiger (1902, 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, and 1998) are considered protectors and are generally well liked because of their charismatic personalities.
Chinese New Year will be celebrated in Charlotte by several different organizations and events are open to the public.
Chinese American Association of Charlotte: A celebration will be held on Saturday, February 6 at the Carolina Asian Center located at 701 Scaleybark Rd in Charlotte. The event will feature a Dragon Dance performance by the Hung Gar Kung Fu Academy of Morresville. The event is from 3-5:30pm and admission is $12/person for nonmembers and $29/person for VIP seats. Call 704-651-3964 for more information.
The Peaceful Dragon will also celebrate Chinese New Year on Saturday, February 6 with a free family festival from 11am-3pm. The event will open with a Lion Dance and will also feature traditional foods, crafts, games and marital arts demonstrations. The Peaceful Dragon is located at 12610 Steele Creek Road.
Families with Children from China will celebrate the new year on February 20 at the Carolina Asian Center at 701 Scaleybark Road (which is the same located at the Chinese American Association event). The event,from 4-7:30pm, features a meet and greet, dinner and entertainment. Click here for more information about ticket prices for member and non-member participants.
Are you aware of other Chinese New Year celebrations? Thank you to reader, Susannah, for this suggestion. Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com with ideas and comments.

After re-reading The Atlas of Middle Earth (excellent read recommend it to anyone) I noticed that north of the Pelori in Aman, there was a tower marked as "The Tower of Elwing". I cannot for the life of me remember anything about this tower in the Silmarillion or Unfinished Tales (but its been a while).
Thinking out of the box, I would guess that Elwing retains the ability to transform into the Bird form in which she flew to Vingilot and Earendil after the third Kinslaying, and likes to live by the sea, however this is pure guesswork from me.
Does anyone have any more info on this tower? or at least tell me where I may be able to find more info.

Conductor error is cited in a train derailment, injuring 32 passengers. Reportedly the conductor had fallen asleep allowing the train to crash through stop barriers.
According to a March 25, report by Christian Post, A CTA Blue Line train crashed through the stopping posts at O'Hare International Airport and flew up an escalator Monday, injuring 32 passengers in the process.
"There are indications she dozed off, yes," CTA Union President Bob Kelly said at a press conference, adding that she had 17 hours between shifts but "had worked a lot of hours in the past week."
Surveillance cameras at O'hare capture the train catapulting over halfway up the escalator at the normally very busy airport. The incident occurred at 2:50 a.m. during a lull in commuters,
Brian Steele, a Chicago Transit Authority spokesman, told reporters. "Normally a train pulls in at just a couple miles an hour and pulls into the station. Obviously, this train did not stop, so speed could be a factor here."
The 32 passengers and the conductor were hospitalized for treatment of minor injuries. Shuttle buses are currently in operation to get commuters and passengers to O'Hare Airport.

UAA Net Price Calculator
The UAA Net Price Calculator is designed to estimate the cost of attendance and types of financial aid you might qualify for if you were a college freshman attending school full-time in the 2014-2015 Academic Year. The Net Price calculator is updated in January to reflect the previous completed years information. For example 2015/2016 data will be entered in January of 2017.
Access our UAA Net Price Calculator here
Cost of Attendance
OSFA will estimate your Cost of Attendance based on actual enrollment.
The Cost of Attendance is the estimated cost of completing a full year as a full-time student (24+ credits for undergrad, 18+ credits for grad). The Cost of Attendance is also referred to as a "Budget" for financial aid purposes. Your Cost of Attendance is not necessarily what you will pay to go to college. It is an estimate of how much you can expect to need for college — including living expenses — throughout the year. The Cost of Attendance for military and nursing students may vary.
Your Cost of Attendance varies depending on many factors, including how many credits you're enrolled in. For example, if you enroll in 15 credits you'll have higher associated costs (fees,tuition, books, etc.) than a student that is enrolled in 6 credits. When you receive your initial award letter, it will be generated using your estimated cost of attendance based on the number of credits you're enrolled in at the time of awarding. If you are not enrolled at the time we generate your award letter, we will estimate your awards based on full-time (12 credit) enrollment.
After the fall semester add/drop period has passed we are obligated to review all cost of attendance and awards for those students whose enrollment has changed (ex: if you're enrolled in 9 credits at the time your award letter is generated and later enroll in an additional class, we'll increase your cost of attendance). If you have reduced your enrollment, since the time your award letter was generated, we are required to review any financial aid that you received for any possible overawards.
You must notify the OSFA if your enrollment has changed since receiving your initial award letter. Failure to notify our office, before disbursement, may result in repayment of financial aid that you were not eligible to receive.
For your student specific Cost of Attendance go to UAOnline; click on Financial Aid, Award, Award by Aid Year (select the appropriate year), and then click on Award Overview.
Adjustments to Cost of Attendance
The Cost of Attendance is determined annually considering survey and consumer price data. These figures represent the typical expenses incurred by students; however, there may be special circumstances that warrant an evaluation of individual costs. For example, aviation students or students that live with parents and pay rent. Students may request an evaluation of their specific cost of attendance by completing a Budget Adjustment Request Form.
Undergraduate Students (100-200 level courses)
Students whose actual expenses exceed their estimates can submit a Cost of Attendance/Budget Adjustment form.
