High School Graduation
- What are the high school graduation course requirements in California?
The state sets minimum requirements. Local school districts have the authority and responsibility for establishing any requirements for awarding a California high school diploma from their secondary schools. These must include the set of 13 minimum courses required under California Education Code. Most school districts in California require between 22 and 26 one-year courses (or the equivalent) for graduation.
- Are students of a California approved charter school required to complete the 13 minimum courses mandated for graduation?
The answer to this question depends on a variety of factors. For further assistance, please contact the Charter Schools Division of the California Department of Education at 916-322-6029.
- Are students of private high schools required to complete the 13 minimum courses for graduation?
No. Private high schools have the authority to set their own graduation requirements. However, many private high schools do include at least the state minimum courses in order to ensure that students transitioning to or from public schools have less disruption in their progress toward graduation.
- How many units are required to earn a California high school diploma?
Local school districts establish the total number of units required to earn a California high school diploma. Most California public high schools require the equivalent of between 22 and 26 yearlong courses. Two semester courses equal one yearlong course. A yearlong course constitutes one Carnegie unit. Semester courses constitute one-half of a Carnegie unit. But most school districts award ten local units for each Carnegie unit and five local units for a semester course. These districts require between 220 and 260 local units for high school graduation. However, local school districts vary in how local credit units are awarded for one year of study. To determine how many credits entering students have earned toward local graduation requirements, multiply the local credit units awarded for one year of study times the number of qualifying yearlong courses they have completed.
- What constitutes a year of study in terms of instructional minutes for a specific subject area?
A year of study is two semesters of study in the same or related subject area. In general, the course is about 50 minutes per day, five days a week, for two semesters. However, local school districts determine the actual organization of instructional time depending on their master schedule. Variances apply depending on holidays, professional development days, and block scheduling.
- We are relocating to a new school district in California and my child is in high school. Will my child be able to graduate
at the same time as his current classmates?
While California has a set of 13 minimum course requirements for high school graduation, each local school district in California may add its own requirements. Therefore, it is very important that students entering a new California school district contact the new high school as soon as possible to have their progress toward fulfilling the graduation requirements of the new district reviewed. The local school district officials can evaluate the transcripts and advise you on when your child can graduate. School contact information can be located through the CDE California School Directory.
- Do I have to complete Algebra I to graduate?
Yes, beginning in the 2003-04 school year, all students must successfully complete coursework that meets or exceeds the rigor of the content standards of Algebra I prior to receiving a diploma of graduation from a high school. For additional information, see the Algebra I Graduation Requirement Frequently Asked Questions.
- Do students with disabilities have to complete Algebra I in order to earn a high school diploma?
Yes, students with disabilities have to meet all state and local graduation requirements. Algebra I is a state graduation requirement. Your local school district may require additional math courses. Some students with disabilities, due to the specific nature of their disability, may request a waiver of the Algebra I graduation requirement if, after all support services have been provided, the student cannot pass the course. For additional information regarding the Algebra waiver process, please visit the Algebra I Graduation Requirements .
- My child has completed all but a couple of courses required for high school graduation but the school counselor says he or she
must enroll in five courses each semester. Is this true?
This depends on the circumstances. California Education Code Section 46145 states: "Commencing with the first semester or quarter that begins after January 1, 1984, pupils in grade 12 shall be enrolled in at least five courses each semester or the equivalent number of courses per quarter." California Education Code provides exceptions: "However, this requirement shall not apply to pupils enrolled in regional occupational programs, regional occupational centers, courses at accredited postsecondary educational institutions, independent study, special education programs where the pupil's individualized education program establishes a different number of courses, continuation education classes, work experience education programs approved under the provisions of Article 7 (commencing with Section 51760) of Chapter 5 of Part 28, or any other course of study authorized by the governing board which is equivalent to the approved high school course of study. " California Education Code sections 46146-46147 provide additional exceptions to the five-course requirement.
- I have completed all of the courses required for high school graduation but the school says I must complete a senior project in order to graduate. Is this a state requirement for graduation?
The California Education Code currently does not require that students complete a senior project. However, in California, local school districts have the authority and responsibility for determining graduation requirements. Therefore, local school districts do have the authority to require students to complete a senior project in order to receive a high school diploma.
- The high school counselor at my child's school has told my child that he or she does not have enough credits to graduate. What are my options for getting this situation resolved?
All parents and guardians have the right to be fully informed about their children's academic progress toward graduation. As a parent or guardian, you should schedule a conference with the counselor. If the issue cannot be resolved to your satisfaction at this level, then make an appointment with the school administrator, usually the principal, in charge. If you still have concerns after this meeting, your next option is to contact the school district office and speak with the administrators, including the superintendent, in charge of the academic program. If the administrators indicate that it is local district policy that sets the requirements, then you may appeal to your local school board. At this point, you should request the Uniform Complaint Procedures (Updated 01-Feb-2008) and maintain written records of your efforts to resolve your issues. Local school boards are citizen boards that have primary authority to set the policies of the school district. If they indicate that the California Education Code specifies the requirements, ask for the specific code section to which they are referring. For more information on the Education Code, see California Law .
- If a student with disabilities is unable to meet all state and local graduation requirements, can they be recognized for their efforts?
The EC allows a district to award certificates or documents of achievement or completion to students with IEPs who are unable to meet all state and local graduation requirements.
- I participate in a competitive sport that is not directly associated with my high school. Can I use my time practicing and participating in this sport to satisfy the physical education graduation requirement?
The authority to determine course equivalencies resides with the local school districts. Because California public schools are seeking to align their physical education programs with the Physical Education Framework for California Public Schools, the use of outside-of-school sports as equivalent credit is discouraged.
- How can I find out about graduation requirements in other states?
The National Center on Educational Outcomes (NCEO) provides online information on state graduation requirements as well as state policy information about assessments, special accommodations, alternate assessments, participation, reporting, and standards.
- How can I find out what the California high school graduation requirements were in a specific year?
Historical editions of the California Education Code contain prior years' high school graduation requirements. Please request this information from your local library or contact the State Library at: 916-654-0261.
California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE)
- Does a student in a California public school have to pass the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to be eligible for a high school diploma?
All California public school students, except eligible students with disabilities, must satisfy the CAHSEE requirement, as well as all other state and local requirements, to receive their high school diploma. The CAHSEE requirement can be satisfied by passing the examination, or for eligible students with disabilities, meeting the exemption requirements pursuant to EC Section 60852.3, or receiving a local waiver pursuant to EC Section 60851(c).
- Do California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) in order to graduate with a high school diploma?
No, beginning with the 2009–10 school year, eligible students with disabilities are exempt from the requirement to pass the CAHSEE as a condition of graduation from high school (EC Section 60852.3). An eligible student, as defined in the law, is a student with an individualized education program (IEP) or Section 504 plan that indicates that the student has satisfied or will satisfy all other state and local requirements to receive a high school diploma on or after July 1, 2009.
This CAHSEE exemption will continue until the State Board of Education implements alternative means for students with disabilities to show that they have achieved the same level of academic achievement as students passing the CAHSEE, unless such means are not feasible. More information about the exemption is available on the CDE Questions and Answers regarding the CAHSEE Exemption Web page.
Students with disabilities are still required, in grade ten only, to take the CAHSEE for purposes of fulfilling the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
- Does a student in a private school in California have to pass the CAHSEE to be eligible for a high school diploma from that school?
No. In fact, students in private schools are prohibited from taking the CAHSEE, with the exception of students with disabilities who are placed in nonpublic schools pursuant to their IEPs (as mentioned in the response to the preceding question).
Early High School Completion
- I would like to complete high school early. How can I do that?
First of all, talk with your high school counselor about your interest in completing high school early. The local school district's graduation requirements must be completed if you are to receive a high school diploma. While most high schools are organized to accommodate a standard four-year schedule to graduation, some California public high schools offer options for accelerated learning plans. To be eligible to enroll directly at a University of California (UC) or a California State University (CSU) campus, the required high school courses for freshman admission are much more extensive and rigorous than the state's minimum graduation requirements. If you plan to attend a California community college and/or a four-year university as your first step after high school, several opportunities are available to you. High school juniors and seniors, with the permission of their parents and schools and subject to certain conditions, can enroll as special part-time students at community colleges and four-year colleges and universities (some at no cost) to begin their college education while still enrolled in high school and completing their high school diploma. For additional information about attending college, please see CaliforniaColleges.edu . There are also other options for completing high school early:
- California High School Proficiency Exam (CHSPE): A person may take the CHSPE if he or she is at least 16 years old, or he or she has been enrolled in the tenth grade for one academic year or longer, or he or she will complete one academic year of enrollment in the tenth grade at the end of the semester during which the CHSPE regular administration (i.e. spring or fall) will be conducted. For more information about this test, see CHSPE (Updated June 17, 2011). While the UC and CSU recognize the CHSPE as the equivalent of a high school diploma, to be eligible for admission, applicants must also have successfully completed the full set of required high school course requirements and standardized admission tests. See CaliforniaColleges.edu for complete admission requirements for California public colleges and universities.
- General Education Development Test (GED): In California, students who are 18 (and some 17-year olds that meet specific criteria) may take the GED test. The GED test covers reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. See the CDE GED website (Updated Oct. 3, 2011) for more information about this test.
- If I pass the GED or CHSPE, can I use those results to satisfy minimum course requirements for graduation?
The authority to determine course equivalencies resides with the local school districts. However, in the case of the GED, such use of the test results is prohibited.
- How do I obtain a copy of my General Educational Development (GED) Test results?
Results of GED exams can be obtained from the State GED Office or call 866-370-4740.
- How do I obtain a copy of my California High School Proficiency Exam (CHSPE) results?
For more information on how to obtain copies of CHSPE, see the CHSPE Results and Transcripts . If you have questions about the CHSPE or your results, you can e-mail email@example.com or call 1-866-342-4773.
- What if I am missing a few units or did not complete all of my units when I was in high school?
Contact your local adult school. Adult education is a public education program for all adults. Adult schools offer free to low-cost classes for adults 18 and older. Students can get a high school diploma, general education diploma (GED), learn about jobs, learn to speak English, and learn how to become a U.S. citizen. Adult schools are located in many cities and towns. Visit the CDE Adult Education for more information.
AB 1330 (Career Technical Education Option)
- What does Assembly Bill (AB) 1330 mean for high school students and schools? When does it begin and end?
Assembly Bill 1330 (Chapter 621, Statutes of 2011) authorizes local educational agencies to accept a Career Technical Education (CTE) course as an optional high school graduation requirement, beginning with the 2012-13 school year (class of 2013).
AB 1330 was signed into law on January 1, 2012 and can be implemented as early as the 2012-13 school year. The provisions of AB 1330 will be repealed as of the beginning of the 2017-18 school year (July 1, 2017), unless these provisions are extended by legislative action.
Pursuant to AB 1330, a local governing board may elect to adopt an optional requirement that graduating high school students must have completed one course in visual or performing arts, foreign language, or CTE. Existing state law otherwise requires that all graduating high school students must have completed one course in visual or performing arts or foreign language.
- What is the definition of a Career Technical Education (CTE) course?
California Education Code Section 51225.3 defines a CTE course as "a course in a district-operated career technical education program that is aligned to the career technical model curriculum standards and framework adopted by the state board, including courses through a regional occupational center or program operated by a county superintendent of schools or pursuant to a joint powers agreement."
- If my school district decides to implement AB 1330, what does the school district have to do? Do school district governing boards have to provide notice to the public that they are electing to implement AB 1330?
If a local governing board elects to adopt an optional CTE graduation requirement, AB 1330 requires all of the following: Prior to offering the optional CTE graduation requirement to students, the local governing board shall notify parents, teachers, pupils, and the public at a regularly scheduled meeting of the governing board. The notification shall include the intent to offer CTE courses to fulfill the graduation requirement, and specify the impact that offering CTE courses will have on the availability of courses that meet the eligibility requirements for admission to the California State University (CSU) and the University of California (UC), and whether these CTE courses would satisfy those eligibility requirements. The notification shall also include the distinction between the high school graduation requirements of the school district or county office of education and the eligibility requirements for CSU and UC admission.
- If the school district does not currently operate a CTE program, is the school district required to begin a new one?
AB 1330 provides that a district or a school that currently does not offer CTE courses is not required to start new CTE programs for purposes related to the optional CTE graduation requirement. What if I am at a school that accepts CTE courses as a high school graduation requirement and transfer to a school that does not accept a CTE course as a requirement? Can that CTE course still be used to meet high school graduation requirements? We recommend that you contact your school counselor to attain assistance with transferring to another high school. High school graduation requirements are set by each school district. The local high school graduation requirements may go beyond the state's minimum high school graduation requirements. It is up to each school district to determine what courses will or will not be accepted.
- How do I obtain a copy of my high school transcript?
In order to obtain a copy of your high school transcript, you should contact the high school from which you graduated or its school district office. School districts are required by law to maintain copies of your high school academic record (transcript). School contact information can be located through the CDE School Directory.
- How can I get information about college opportunities and requirements in California?
For more information about postsecondary education opportunities and requirements in California, see CaliforniaColleges.edu .
- I need an Apostille from a California state official to study or work abroad. Can the CDE help me with this?
An Apostille is an authentication of a notarized copy of a school record issued by the California Secretary of State. It verifies that a California Notary Public's signature is valid. When an American is seeking an educational opportunity or work abroad, the receiving school, college, or employer may request a verification of the student's educational record. This involves the American acquiring a notarized copy of his or her high school transcripts from the educational institution issuing the transcript. This notarized record then goes to the California Secretary of State, who issues an Apostille verifying that the signature of the California Notary Public is valid. The CDE is not involved in the Apostille process. For more information about the Apostille process, see Notary Public Authentication Information Apostille or Certification .

David Dague has responded to a fan complaint in regards to the upcoming multiplatform software product, "Destiny." According to a report from Push Square on April 29, the community manager of Bungie was asked why his company has been ignoring the Xbox 360 and Xbox One communities. Before working on the new intellectual property, the development team was responsible for the popular "Halo" series on Xbox consoles.
For "Destiny," however, Bungie decided to partner with Sony Computer Entertainment. As a result, the PS3 and PS4 versions will be getting exclusive contents such as first access to the looming multiplayer beta test. The media assets shown so far came from the PS4 version as well. Due to these factors, some of the Xbox fans may feel somewhat slighted.
David Dague replied to the complaint by saying that Bungie is not ignoring the Xbox 360 and Xbox One players. The development team has been listening and answering as many questions as they can. He went on to disclose that prospective buyers from all platforms are "very much" on their minds day in and day out. You can find his full remarks below (courtesy of Bungie):
Who's ignoring you? We're right here; making a game we hope you'll love. We're listening to your questions, and answering the ones we can. If you're a gamer who wants to play a Bungie game, you're very much on our mind – every day.
The community manager also talked a little bit about the pre-alpha build of "Destiny." Despite the milestone, the studio still has plenty of work to do to get the video game to alpha and beta states. Due to the incomplete nature of the current build, Bungie is only letting friends and family members test out the multiplayer pre-alpha.
The general public will have to wait for the aforesaid multiplayer beta, which is due to launch sometime later this summer. The final product, which is being published by Activision, has an official release date of Sept. 9 on the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One consoles in the North American region. You can find a screen from the official Twitter page of the shared-world first-person shooter with the image located near the top side of the article. The first-person shooter can be ordered from Amazon.com in the following link: "Destiny."

I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on an old Dell Centrino/512mb machine that was running too slow with Windows to be useful. I am completely new to Linux and muddling my way through as well as I can. The machine still runs pretty slow on Ubuntu. So I loaded the Gnome shell and the classic (no effects) runs fairly well. Everything seemed to be fine up until this. But still not as fast as I'd like.
I read that Lubuntu is even lighter, so I installed Lubuntu-desktop. It still defaulted to the "Ubuntu login" or as I came to discover it's called, lightdm. I changed this to lxdm. Once I did that I suddenly could not login to Ubuntu 2d or Gnome classic (there are a few other options added when I installed Lubuntu-desktop that I also can't login to but i don't even know what these are). When I try to login to Ubuntu 2d or Gnome classic from lxdm it looks like it will load and then returns to the user prompt. I can still login to Lubuntu and others (oddly I can login to Ubuntu, and even more oddly Ubuntu shows up twice on the list). I can also switch back to lightdm and login to everything. I suppose I could just leave it on lightdm, but for lightness' sake as well as consistency, lxdm is nice. And more I just feel like it should work so I'd like to get to the source of the problem.
I looked extensively for answers. The closest I found is an issue for people upgrading from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 and getting returned to the login screen. In that case it was the .Xauthority file being taken over by root (I'm probably saying this wrong). It seemed to be fixed by deleting the .Xauthority file. But since I'm not convinced mine is the same problem I don't want to just start deleting files, the purpose of which I don't even understand. I also found one other post on here with a very similar question, but with no answer.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

|Armando Mendez's safe
|Diaz's Mansion, Starfish Island, Vice City
Domo Arigato Domestoboto is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories given by Ricardo Diaz to protagonist, Victor Vance.
Diaz and Lance have got a deal and Lance has actually borrowed some money from him. After a drink, Victor appears in the scene angrily asking Lance what Diaz is talking about. After a brief argument Lance suddenly falls on the sofa, drunk and sleeps while Victor leaves the mansion outside. When outside one of the Vance Crime Family gang members meets Victor telling him about some high-tech gear stuff ordered outside the Mendez's mansion to destroy Armando Mendez's bearer bonds. Victor drives over to the Boxville with the things in it. After a moment he takes control of a Domestobot inside the mansion who is ordered by Armando to do his tasks, this includes giving him a snack, cleaning the toilet, lighting his cigar and all of them can come randomly in any order whilst doing the mission. After doing at least one of Armando's tasks, Victor uses the domestobot to find Armando's bearer bonds and after finding it, he uses the bot to setting it on fire. Once Armando finds about the accident he shoots the robot with his Colt Python several times and destroys it.
(Diaz and Lance inside the Diaz's mansion.)
Ricardo Diaz: So, we got a deal, O?
Lance Vance: We got a deal, baby! We'll repay everything we borrowed at 25% interest a week OR we work for you.
Ricardo Diaz: Yeah, salut!
Lance Vance: Cheers. That's good stuff.
Ricardo Diaz: I kill you and your brother with a blunt instrument.
(Diaz and Lance both laugh just as Victor enters.)
Ricardo Diaz: Vic! We were just talking about you.
Lance Vance: YEAH!
Victor Vance: Yeah?
Ricardo Diaz: About you boys repaying that money I lent you.
Victor Vance: What fucking money? Hey, what's he talking about?
Lance Vance: Look, I borrowed some money for us from Ricardo and we're gonna pay him back, OK?
Victor Vance: What the fuck have you done now?
Lance Vance: I invested back in the business. I'm sorry, Ricardo baby, but sometimes brothers get alpha male on you, you know.
Ricardo Diaz: I know. That's why I killed mine. Boys, relax. Just go do that thing for me and all will be good.
Lance Vance: Yeah...
Ricardo Diaz: For now.
Victor Vance: Wait, what is he talking about?
Lance Vance: Look, Ricardo wants us to destroy all of Armando Mendez's bearer bonds. I know it sounds risky, but trust me. I got it... I got it going, 'cause I done this a million times. Let's just pop, baby... You know... Let's just... pop...
(Lance falls asleep on a sofa.)
Victor Vance: Guess I'm doing this one on my own.
(Victor and a Vance Crime Family goon outside.)
Vance goon: Hey, boss. Have you seen Lance?
Victor Vance: Unfortunately, yes. What is it?
Vance goon: Some high-tech gear he ordered. It's up near the Mendez mansion, ready to go.
Victor Vance: What high-tech gear? What's it for?
Vance goon: Er, Lance said something about getting around Mendez's security; destroying their bonds or something.
Victor Vance: Leave it with me.
(Victor takes control of the robot, Armando Mendez sitting inside the mansion.)
Armando Mendez: Domestobot! Where are you? How did Diego talk me into buying that electric trash can?
Domestobot: Domestobot loves cleaning. Remote control override! I live to serve.
(Armando randomly orders the bot something.)
Armando Mendez: Domestobot! Light my cigar.
(The bot lights Armando's cigar.)
Domestobot: I'm here for your pleasure!
(Victor uses the domestobot and destroys Armando's safe. Armando shoots it.)
Armando Mendez: Domestobot! You lousy piece of crap! You've ruined me!
Domestobot: Do you require a light?
Post-Mission pager
(Upon completing the mission, Victor receives a pager.)
Phil Cassidy: Thanks for looking after Louise, man. I appreciate it. Any time I can help - just call...
Once this mission is completed you'll receive $2,000.
- The name was taken and parodied from the song "Mr. Roboto" by Styx.
- In the PSP version of the mission, Armando Mendez shoots the domestobot with a pistol, not a python.

Do You Own the Ultimate Hedge Against Political Chaos?
Over the past month, the VIX has surged 25% while the S&P 500 has remained flat.
With Congress stuck in a political deadlock, the US government still partially closed, and the nation on the verge of a possible debt default, what's been the one asset that's proven to be the single best hedge?
While most Wall Street pundits were dismissing the significance of stock market volatility, we told our readers that owning volatility or the
CBOE S&P 500 Volatility Index
(INDEXCBOE:VIX), was an ideal way to capitalize on the chaotic state of affairs. And since then, the VIX has effortlessly outperformed virtually all other investments.
Over the past month, the VIX has surged 25% while the
(INDEXSP:.INX) has remained flat. Interestingly, gold (NYSEARCA:GLD) even managed to lose 2%, which shows its hedging ability against political mayhem has badly failed.
In October, just days ahead of the latest volatility pop, we wrote:
Since the end of last year, the VIX has experienced a price jump nearly every two months and as we've consistently noted, the S&P 500 has been making new highs, yet the VIX hasn't bottomed. This is a rather large discrepancy and the previous times stocks have made new highs without the VIX hitting new all-time lows, it warned of a short term market top. We think hedging volatility still makes sense and we're buying the DEC 2013 VIX call options at $540.
The first leg of our VIX trade resulted in a 46% gain when we sold our December call options at $790. That's not a typo, nor is it an unusual return for us. From May 24 to June 20, we rode a similar surge in stock market volatility, bagging an 84% gain on VIX related trades.
Despite the inability of Washington, DC, to come up with a piecemeal deal, the Congressional Budget Office says the US Treasury has enough cash flow to cover expenses and to avoid a debt default through Oct. 22.
In the meantime, owning the VIX has been among the single best ways to profit from the political stalemate.

We offer advanced training opportunities for outstanding graduates of General Surgery programs.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
The Minimally Invasive Surgeons of Texas (MIST) Fellowship Consortium is a designated group of surgeons who promote the advancement of minimally invasive, laparoscopic, and endoscopic surgical techniques. All MIST members have academic affiliations with The UTHealth Department of Surgery, specializing in minimally invasive surgery or advanced gastrointestinal surgery. By offering the opportunity to rotate with several of the busiest MIS practices in Houston and San Antonio, we offer one of the widest training experiences for fellows in the country. We are accredited by the Minimally Invasive Surgery Fellowship Council.
The MIST Fellowship Consortium, directed by Dr. Erik Wilson, is composed of four unique fellowship programs. Fellows of each practice will spend a majority of time with their accepted faculty but all fellows will have the opportunity rotate through the practices of other groups to obtain their unique operative, clinical and academic experiences.
The strength of the University of Texas Minimally Invasive Surgery Fellowship Consortium is the power it brings through the depth and concentrated knowledge of the faculty, all of whom bring a wealth of advanced, broad-based laparoscopic experience.

Pediatric Surgery
Plastics and Burns
The University of Texas Medical School at Houston Plastic Surgery Program is a 3 year program using the independent model, designed to prepare the trainee to meet all requirements needed for certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
Memorial Hermann – TMC is the primary teaching hospital for the Program and is a Level 1 Trauma Center and general care not-for-profit hospital. The curriculum is designed to fulfill the requirements of the American Board of Plastic Surgery for training programs. Extensive training in general reconstructive plastic surgery with an emphasis on post-traumatic reconstruction, microvascular surgery including replantation and free flap transfer, general burn reconstruction, maxillofacial, cranio-facial surgery and aesthetic surgery are offered to the resident staff. Currently two months of the Plastic Surgery rotation are carried out at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center emphasizing head and neck, breast and trunk oncological reconstruction. Additional experience in aesthetic, congenital and general Plastic Surgery is obtained in a two-month junior resident exchange with the Plastic Surgery Program at the St. Joseph's Medical Center. Effective July 1, 2011 mandatory rotations in Oculoplastic Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, Otolaryngology, Dermatology, Anesthesiology and Oral-Maxillo-Facial Surgery will be incorporated into the curriculum.
Two Plastic Surgery residents per year are admitted into the Program and retain responsibilities for all phases of patient management to include diagnosis and treatment, particularly in the preoperative, operative and postoperative phases of care. All surgery, elective, urgent and emergent, is directly supervised by Attending Staff. When possible, a training mission to a foreign country, in which management of cleft lip and palate is emphasized, is available to the senior residents. This unique experience is arranged in conjunction with various philanthropic plastic surgical organizations.
Formal rounds are conducted twice a week in which didactic presentations of current topics in Plastic Surgery with discussion are featured. Other regular teaching conferences include a monthly Morbidity and Mortality Conference, combined ENT/OMF/Plastic Surgery Rounds, Mock Oral Examinations, Research and Burn Grand Rounds, Journal Club and a Service Meeting addressing QA/PI issues. Teaching sessions in conjunction with other services are available to the resident staff.
Research projects can be carried out in conjunction with the many other disciplines available in the Medical School and all residents must carry out a research project during the residency. Basic microvascular training is a mandatory component of the program.
The training program provides equitable wage and benefits package of life, health and disability, and professional liability insurances for the resident trainees. This information is available by contacting us directly. The On-Call schedule is designed to allow adequate off-duty time for the residents and to allow for outside reading and recreation in accordance with ACGME duty hour restrictions. The Medical School facility provides a readily accessible library of texts and journals, both in the academic offices of the Division of Plastic Surgery and the Jesse Jones Library. Computer facilities are provided specifically for the resident staff in the Division along with a library of current DVD's and other teaching materials.
The UTHealth Program participates in the Plastic Surgery Match, sponsored by the Association of Academic Chairmen of Plastic Surgery. Information is available at www.sfmatch.org. All applicants applying to the program must have pre-requisite training approval from the American Board of Plastic Surgery as outlined in the American Board of Plastic Surgery Inc BOOKLET of information. This information is available at www.abplsurg.org.
Surgical Critical Care and Trauma
The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHSCH) is one of only two ACS-verified level 1-trauma centers serving Houston, Texas, the fourth largest city in the United States. The trauma center and main teaching institution is located at Memorial Hermann Hospital, an 800-bed facility within Texas Medical City. It is home of Life Flight aero-medical services and the John S. Dunn Helistop, the busiest heliport in the United States for its size. UTHSC admits well over 5,000 trauma patients annually with the most severely injured cared for in the 25-bed Shock-Trauma ICU (STICU).
The fellowship was initiated in 1994 and currently supports three (3) Surgical Critical Care Fellows (with a request to ACGME to expand to six), three (3) research fellows, and one to two Clinical Trauma Fellows. The Acute Care Surgery Division has eleven (11) faculty members. We offer multiple fellowship opportunities ranging from purely clinical to those with a research emphasis. One-year fellowship positions in (1) Surgical Critical Care, (2) Clinical Trauma or (2) Trauma Research are available. In addition, two-year positions are available in (1) Surgical Critical Care and Clinical Trauma, (2) Surgical Critical Care and Trauma Research, and (3) Two-year Trauma Research (T32).
The majority of the Surgical Critical Care year is spent in the STICU, allowing exposure to a wide variety of severely injured patients, often with multiple co-morbid conditions. Additionally, the STICU serves as the highest level of care for critically ill patients from general surgery services, head and neck surgery, and obstetrics and gynecology. The STICU has approximately 975 admissions annually. Other rotations such as the medical ICU, cardiovascular ICU, Neuro-trauma ICU, Burn ICU and Pediatric ICU enhance exposure to a wide variety of patient populations and ICU practices. The Clinical Trauma Fellowship is individualized to each applicant and is focused on developing their future practice whether it will be in academics or a private setting. The year is also customized to address specific deficits that the candidate feels that he/she might have with respect to operative, non-operative, and interventional management.
Critical reviews of research and the medical literature form an integral part of the daily ICU bedside teaching rounds and didactic conferences. Each Monday both administrative and research issues are addressed at the Trauma/Critical Care Faculty Meeting. In addition, changes in practice and proposed research topics are discussed in detail at the monthly Practice Management Guidelines meeting. Recently implemented Surgical Critical Care Conference and the Trauma Operative Conference deliver Grand Rounds-quality lectures by the institution's (and visiting) Faculty that are aimed specifically at "fellow-level" education (PGY-6 and above). The SCC resident is expected to deliver at least one Grand Rounds lecture throughout the year. The SCC resident is also encouraged to participate in ongoing projects and to develop their own research interests. Research time is made available on an individual basis to those residents who wish to further their own scientific investigations.
For further information please contact our Program Director, Dr. Bryan Cotton.

My idea is to have a Terra blade + Vampire knives + broken hero blade = a life drain Terra blade with a new sprite. (or maybe a vampire boss that drops a material to craft this?)

"We hope negotiations can continue so we can come to a negotiated agreement," she said. "That's really too bad."
In an e-mail, board member Tom Koehler said the two parties can't get to a settlement if they aren't talking.
But two board members -- Buel and Koehler, both newcomers this year -- failed to sign on to the letter, revealing some factions within the board.
"I didn't believe that was a good way to go," he said.
Koehler wrote he was "uncomfortable with kicking health care reform down the road and not addressing it in this contract. I cannot agree to a contract that does not reward individual responsibility towards cost effective health care and leaves the District with an unfunded liability."
Community members are watching, but few city or county leaders seem ready to jump in to save the day.

A well-known Bay County school administrator is officially back on campus, after retiring in November.
Wednesday afternoon superintendent Bill Husfelt recommended school board members approve Mackie Owens to return to his position as Bay High School Principal, which board members approved.
Owens retired late last year under the drop program. Under school board policy he can reapply for his old job, at a lower rate. Owens is taking a $23,000 dollar pay cut, returning on annual contract with five years experience.
"My final statement a year and a half ago 'you can count on Bay High School being in good hands'. I have completed 40 1/2 years now, but I still have the energy and enthusiasm, the get-up and go and good health that allows me to continue going, and that's what I intend to do," said Mackie Owens, Bay High Principal.

Rapiscan is unable to meet a deadline for producing more generic images of passengers being screened for weapons.
15:01, UK, Friday 18 January 2013
The Transportation Security Administration has cancelled its contract with a company that supplies some of the more controversial full-body scan machines used at US airports.
The Los Angeles Times has reported the termination of the contract with Rapiscan, the maker of nearly half of the full-body scanners used by the TSA to screen passengers for weapons and other banned items.
The move reportedly came because Rapiscan would not be able to meet a June deadline for updating its scanning software.
Rapiscan's machines have been controversial because they produce what looks like a naked image of each passenger.
Other scanner manufacturers have been able to create a generic human outline that highlights any hidden object, and Rapiscan had been tasked with switching to that model.
The 174 Rapiscan machines now deployed will be removed and replaced with generic-image scanners made by L-3 Communications Holdings.
Some health officials have also questioned whether Rapiscan's machines expose passengers to harmful levels of x-ray radiation. L-3's machines use radio waves.

Los Angeles Angels 2016 News and Updates
The Los Angeles Angels won their most recent series against the Athletics 2-1. In the first game, the Athletics got on the board first, but the Angels quickly equalized. Then, the Athletics got ahead again by one run in the fourth inning. After four scoreless innings, the Angels tied it up in the top of the ninth. Unfortunately, the Athletics were able to score to win the game. The Angles came back the next night to dominate the Athletics and win 7-1 and then shutout the Athletics in the final game. They next play the Astros. They lost the first game but will look to win when they play on the 21 and 22. Tickets are available for just $4.
… more
The Los Angeles Angels went 2-1 against the Pirates in their latest series. They dominated the first game on June 3, winning 9-2. Game two was much closer, with the Angels losing 7-8 despite a strong rally in the eighth inning. The final game was also decided by just one point, but the victory went to the Angels this time. The Angels next face the Yankees for a four game series. It started on June 6, and the Angels found themselves losing an early 2-0 lead when the Yankees had a two run seventh and followed it by a three run eighth. The two teams play again on the 7, 8, and 9, with tickets available for $4 and up.
After a rough stretch in early May that featured back-to-back sweeps at the hands of Tampa Bay and St. Louis, the Angels put together a sweep of their own against the division rival Seattle Mariners. The Halos look to keep the momentum going as they prepare for two more divisional showdowns at the end of the month. After a three-game set in Texas, your Los Angeles Angels will return to Anaheim for a series against the struggling Astros. Houston plans to bring its top prospect up from the minors, so expect that series to be infused with some added excitement. The first game of that series is on Friday, May 27, with tickets starting as low as $8.
The AL West is up for grabs this season, and behind the scorching-hot bat of Mike Trout the Los Angeles Angels should be contenders all year long. The Halos have dropped four of their last five after sweeping the World Series Champion Kansas City Royals, and have lost the last two series against the Rangers and the Brewers. There are two perennial National League favorites coming to Anaheim this month, with a three-game set against the Cardinals starting on May 10 and then a quick two games against the Dodgers on May 18 and 19. Razorgator has tickets available for the Cardinals series for under $10, and a starting price of $19 for the two-game Freeway Series.
Fans were counting on the Los Angeles Angles using their home series against the Texas Rangers to turn their season around. Unfortunately, despite having the home field advantage, they were only able to win two of their four matchups. There is good news however. The Angels hit the road and completely dominated the Oakland Athletics, taking a victory in each game. This strong winning streak has brought the Angles' season record up to 5-4, meaning they are really starting to gain some momentum. They have a long way to go before they can return to Los Angeles on April 22nd, but if they still have their energy then, you will not want to miss their home series against the Seattle Mariners.
The Los Angeles Angels had a tough start to the season with two losses against the Cubs. Andrew Heaney, who started on Tuesday night, is now on the 15-day disabled list due to a flexor muscle strain. During his six innings on the mound, he allowed four runs and seven hits. After the game, he felt tight and went for an MRI to find the cause. The team is unsure how long he will need to avoid throwing to rest the muscle and heal the strain. The Angels will look to turn their season around when they start a four game series against the Rangers on April 7 at home. You can still get tickets, for prices starting at $14.
The preseason is a time for teams to find their footing and prepare for the official season, but it looks like the Los Angeles Angels are already ready. So far, they have taken 11 victories, most recently against the Oakland Athletics on March 22nd with a final score of 6-5. Fans anticipate the Angels being ready on April 4th when they have their season and home opener against the Chicago Cubs. Tickets are still available for the very first game, so you can attend for as little as just $45. Be there at the beginning to cheer the Angels to their first victory and set the tone for the entire season.
3/16/16 - The new season is less than three weeks away for the Los Angeles Angels. It all kicks off on April 4th when they host the Cubs. You do not have to wait for the official season to start to catch the Angels in action, however. They are already blazing through the preseason and tickets are still available. So far, they have won seven matches and lost six. It is not the best record so far, but they seem to be gaining momentum as they have not lost any of the last six matches. You can attend the home game against the Colorado Rockies on March 18th for as little as $29.
2015 Season
10/6/15 - It was an up-and-down season for the Los Angeles Angels, who made a thrilling run in the closing weeks to get within striking distance for a playoff spot. Mike Trout and company even had a chance to take the AL West up until Game 162, but a potent Texas Rangers offense had other ideas. The Angels will hang up the cleats and return to the drawing board, reflecting on a 2015 season which saw the triumphant return of starter Garrett Richards, a resurgent power-hitting performance from veteran Albert Pujols, and plenty of excitement from start to finish. The 2016 MLB season has been announced and tickets are on sale now—secure the best seats in the house at Angel Stadium today!
9/29/15 - The Los Angeles Angels are finishing the season strong. They are bringing the final home series to a close, and are currently on an incredible seven game winning streak. This domination late in the season rockets the Angels to a record of 83-74, which puts them just two wins behind the division leader, the Texas Rangers. With four games remaining in the season and the Angels on a roll, they may actually finish on the top of the AL Western Division. Plus, there's a chance they could play in the postseason, in the American League Division Series or World Series. Even though the season is nearly over, there's still some Los Angeles Angels action in store for fans.
9/23/15 - The month of September has brought good things for the Los Angeles Angels. They have won their last six of nine games and are currently on a two game winning streak. Their last game was played on September 23 against the Houston Astros and the Angels were able to barely pull off the 6-5 win. During each inning, the Angels and Astros battled both offensively and defensively and continued to have an answer to each other's runs brought in to home plate. That was until David Freese, from the Angels, hit a two-out, two-run go-ahead double in the eighth inning that brought the Angels ahead of the Astros. Watch the excitement continue as they face off against the Seattle Mariners this weekend. Tickets are still available.
9/15/15 - After winning three games in a row, one against the Dodgers and two against the Astros, the Los Angeles Angles have had a string of losses. They lost the final game in a three game series against the Astros and then went 1-2 against the Mariners. Their one win against the Mariners was close, but thanks to a three run homer from David Murphy and another homer by Mike Trout, they were able to get the victory. They are just 3.5 games away from the wild card spot. The Angeles will be looking to get a few more wins in the bag when they head to Minnesota for a four game series that begins on the 17th. You still have a chance to catch the Angels play in person, with ticket prices starting at just $7.
9/9/15 - The Los Angeles Angels earned a short winning streak last week, but they have done slightly worse since then. This week also marks their return to their own field in LA. Total, the Angles have won one less game than they lost. While it is slightly disappointing, it is a good sign that they are still scoring victories. If you were hoping to catch the Angels in action while they were in town, there is only one set remaining before they hit the road again. They will be hosting the Houston Astros, starting on September 11th, and their final match will be on the 13th. Tickets are still available, so order now. If you miss this chance, you will have to wait until September 25th for the next time they are in Los Angeles.
9/3/15 - The Los Angeles Angels are basically where they started at the beginning of the season. Looking even on both the winning and losing side of things, the Angels currently have 67 wins and 66 losses. The Angels are holding tight to their third place standing in the AL West division and are working hard to sneak past the New York Rangers. Lately things have been looking good for the Angels as they have completed two wins in a row against the Oakland Athletics. On September 2, the Angels came out of the dugout blazing hot and managed to score six runs in the first two innings. Their hot start led them to a 9-4 victory against the Athletics. Watch them live as they start an important series of games against the Rangers starting on September 4.
8/25/15 - After losing four games in a row, the Los Angeles Angels beat the Tigers 8-7 in the opening game of a three game series. The Angels started the game off strong with a four run first inning, thanks to a three run homer by Albert Pujols and a run by David Murphy on a wild pitch. Detroit evened the score in the third, but the Angels drew ahead again with two runs in the fourth and fifth. The Tigers tried to rally but fell short, and the Angels took the win. The two teams meet again on the 26th and 27th before the Angels head to Cleveland for a three game series that starts on the 28th. You can still get your tickets, with prices starting at just $3.
8/20/15 - Back-to-back victories have lifted the Los Angeles Angels back into the second Wild Card spot in the American League, as the Halos look to erase the memory of last year's postseason sweep at the hands of the Royals. Albert Pujols was instrumental in win No. 62 for L.A., belting his 33rd home run of the season to add on early against the White Sox. Kole Calhoun struck first for the Angels, knocking his own homer out of the park to score two runs off of starter John Danks. Next up, the Angels will turn their attention to a pair of dangerous AL teams in Toronto and Detroit. Get your tickets for Tigers vs. Angels on Tuesday night at Comerica Park—seats are available starting at just $4!
8/12/15 - An uncharacteristic sweep at the hands of the White Sox has made it tough on the Los Angeles Angels, who are still looking to retake first place in the AL West after a precipitous slide following the All Star break. The Halos are just 4-6 over their last 10 contests, their offense sputtering on the road—the typically-potent squad managed just four runs over three games in Chicago. Mike Trout and company will play a crucial series in Kansas City this weekend, facing off with the Royals who ousted them from last year's ALDS with a three-game sweep. Then it's back to the Big A on Monday night, when the Angels will get the opportunity for payback as the White Sox visit for four games. Get your tickets for 8/17 starting at just $2!
8/5/15 - The Los Angeles had a very difficult time as they were finishing up their series of away games. Their final away game before returning to California marked their sixth consecutive loss. Very rarely did the Angels lose by more than two runs, but they unfortunately were not able to get that little extra push they needed to come away with a victory. Fans could tell they were ready to play on their own field again, because they blew away the Cleveland Indians in their homecoming game, ending with five strong runs. Their victory was repeated on August 5th with a 3-4 win. The Angels will now be hosting the Baltimore Orioles before hitting the road again on August 9th. Be sure to catch them in action before then.
7/29/15 - A loss against the Twins ended the Los Angeles Angels' seven game winning streak, and two more losses followed. However, they were able to get one win against the Rangers in the final game, largely thanks to a five run sixth inning in which Mike Trout hit a grand slam. Trout had a great game, going 4 for 4 and tallying 5 RBIs. However, they were unable to capitalize on the win when they faced the Astros in the first of three games and lost. Despite the losses, the Angles are tied with the Astros for the number one spot in the AL West Division. They have two more chances to beat the Astros, and you can still get tickets to watch it in person, with prices as low as $16.
7/22/15 - The Los Angeles Angels are in a six game winning streak. They beat the Red Sox in a four game series that included a postponed game that was made up in a double header the next night. Then, the Angles beat the Twins 7-0 in the first of a three game series that began on the 21. The Angels had a five run sixth inning, thanks to three runs brought in by Chris Iannetta's homer. Matt Shoemaker was on the mound for six innings, during which he allowed only two hits and had 10 strikeouts. You can still get tickets to see the two teams battle it out on the 22nd and 23rd, as well as the next three game series against the Rangers that begins on the 24. Prices start at $4.
7/14/15 - The Los Angeles Angels have won half of their games since their five-game winning streak ended last week. Even though the Houston Astros have more wins than the Angels, fewer losses mean Los Angeles maintains the top position in the AL Western Division. As they return home from several away sets in a row, the Angels are in a good position to increase that lead. Before hitting the road again, they will be hosting the Boston Red Sox, the Minnesota Twins, and the Texas Rangers. Be sure to secure your spot in the stands before they leave town again. The Los Angeles Angels are sure to put on a very exciting show in these upcoming matchups. Tickets for the Minnesota Twins opener start at just $10.
7/8/15 - Albert Pujols has found his swing recently, going on a home run spree as the Los Angeles Angels have stormed their way up the AL West standings. The Halos find themselves just 2.5 games behind the Astros for tops in the division, and Albert's contributions have not gone unnoticed by the league. The first baseman will make his 10th All-Star appearance next week, replacing the injured Miguel Cabrera in the starting lineup. Pujols will also compete in this year's Home Run Derby, matching up against some of the game's top sluggers in Cincinnati as MLB switches to a new faster-paced format for 2015. Before the festivities begin, L.A. will play a critical series in Seattle this weekend against the Mariners. Tickets for Safeco Field are on sale now at $18!
7/1/15 - Despite an apparent shakeup in the front office ranks, the Los Angeles Angels have committed to remaining focused on the field. It's working, too—the Halos have put together four straight wins against the Mariners and Yankees, climbing to second place in the AL West. Albert Pujols and Erick Aybar led off the bottom of the sixth inning with back-to-back homers to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 advantage, and Joe Smith combined with Huston Street to close out two scoreless innings for the victory. L.A. will take to the road to face off with Colorado at Coors Field in interleague play starting 7/7 and tickets are available now. Claim your seats for Angels vs. Rockies on Tuesday night starting at just $6 each!
6/24/15 - Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels stands as just one of two players currently slated to start in the 2015 All Star Game despite not being a member of the Kansas City Royals. Exuberant KC fans have run away with this year's vote, leaving just a few select players the opportunity to break through in this year's Fall Classic starting lineup. Trout is almost a sure thing to appear in the outfield, as the slugger is among AL leaders in HRs, batting average, and RBIs this season. Teammate Albert Pujols is making his own case as well, leading the American League with 23 homers including a historic 15 jacks in 24 games. Can he maintain the pace when the Halos host the Mariners this weekend? Get seats at Angel Stadium for Friday night starting at just $9!
6/18/15 - The Los Angeles Angels started the season right by bringing home a lot of wins. Currently their wins and losses have continued to go back and forth. Last week they competed against the Arizona Diamondbacks where each team left the series with two wins a piece. June 18 was their fourth and final game against the Diamondbacks, which ended in the Angels favor. It was a big game for Angels, Taylor Featherstone, as he sent a ball flying in to homerun range giving him his first career homer. Pitcher, C.J. Wilson, played an exceptional game, striking out nine Diamondbacks, which fueled the Angels offense to a 7-1 win. Their next series of games is versus the Oakland Athletics and starts on June 19. Get your tickets today starting at $13 a piece.
6/9/15 - With just one game remaining on their current six-game road trip, the Los Angeles Angels can't wait to get back home. The Halos have won just two games since the start of June with only a single W on the road to speak of. Wednesday night put a damper on Tuesday's 8-2 victory, as the Rays claimed a 4-2 decision thanks to a timely homer from Evan Longoria, who had been virtually missing in action on offense for nearly 30 games. L.A. will tangle with Tampa Bay once more on Thursday before returning to Angel Stadium to open a three-game set versus division rival Oakland. Get your tickets for the opener on Friday with seats starting at just $15 each! Tickets for Saturday evening start at $10 and you can check out the Sunday matinee for as little as $4.
6/3/15 - The Rays snapped the Los Angeles Angels' five game winning streak, in 6-1 finish on Tuesday's game. The Rays came out strong, with two runs in the first inning and held the Angels to one run, a homer in the bottom of the fourth by first basemen Albert Pujois. The Angels have a 28-26 record, for second place on the AL West leaderboard. They're out on the road over the upcoming weekend, coming back to their home stadium on Friday (6/12) for a three-game series against the Oakland Athletics. Wrap up your week with an evening game. Tickets start at $10, and there are still plenty of great seats available for you to bring out the whole crew. Get out to the ballpark and cheer for your home team.
5/27/15 - A pair of tough losses against the Padres has dropped the Los Angeles Angels back to third place in the AL West. Seattle has won three straight to take a half-game lead over the Halos, although the bottom four teams in the division have shuffled the deck throughout the season and will likely continue to do so. The Angels rallied twice to tie things up on Wednesday versus San Diego but could not complete a final rally after a two-run seventh inning put the Padres up 5-3. The eventual 5-4 defeat came on the heels of an odd 4-0 loss in extra innings which saw San Diego bust out for four runs in the top of the 10th. L.A. will play their next seven at home, starting with four matchups against the Tigers. Get your tickets for Friday night's showdown starting at just $10!
5/19/15 - The Los Angeles Angels have been doing very well lately, but they still have a long way to go to catch up to the division leader, the Houston Astros. The Angels were up to five consecutive wins, but their streak has come to an end. They took a couple disappointing losses, even getting shut out on May 17th, but it looks like they have found their stride again. On May 19th, against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Angels took the lead in the eighth inning and held on to it through the end, winning 3-2. There are two more matches against the Blue Jays, and then one more set against the Boston Red Sox, before the Angels return to Los Angeles to take on the San Diego Padres.
5/12/15 - The Los Angeles Angels have picked up two wins in the last couple of days, putting them in second in the AL West with a 16-17 record. In Tuesday's game against the Rockies, the teams were tied after the fourth inning at two runs. The Angels rallied in the eighth, with left fielder Matt Joyce earning a two-run double after second baseman Johnny Giavotella had already picked up the go ahead run on a single. The Angels gave the Rockies their 10th straight loss. The Angels are out on the road for 10 games beginning on Friday (5/15). Their next home game is on Monday (5/25) against the San Diego Padres. Tickets start at $10. Get yours now to get the best seats and to cheer for the home team!
5/5/15 - The Los Angeles Angels are back from their series of away games, and they are ready to start playing on their own field again. While the Angles won most of their games on the Oakland Athletics' field, they lost all three games against the San Francisco Giants. This short losing streak has tied them up with the Seattle Mariners, who are the first team the Angels will play in their own city. Unfortunately, the Mariners were able to edge out a slim 3-2 victory. Both teams are now sitting at 11-15 and tied for second in the AL Western Division. Tickets for the next matchup, on May 6th, are available and start as low as $5. Be sure to come see how the Angels do against Seattle.
4/27/15 - Locked in a tie with the Seattle Mariners for second place in the AL West, the Los Angeles Angels are working to cope with the losses of key players from last year's squad. Howie Kendrick moved across town to the National League's Dodgers, while Josh Hamilton was recently traded to the Texas Rangers after violating terms of his contract. The Angels have lost their last two, including a 6-2 defeat in Oakland on Tuesday night. L.A. managed to open against the Athletics with two runs off of ace Sonny Gray in the first inning, but Oakland responded with a five-run explosion and never looked back. The Angels will continue their three-game set in the Bay Area on Wednesday night and you can get into O.Co Coliseum with tickets as low as $19!
4/22/15 - After three losses in a row, the Los Angeles Angels dominated against the Oakland Athletics on April 21, with a final score of 14-1. The sixth inning was the Angels' golden inning, as they scored six runs. Johnny Giavotella had a great night, hitting a homer that brought in three runs and a single for another RBI. Kole Calhoun also had a strong night, with a homer that likewise brought in three runs. Hector Santiago pitched a great game that included eight strikeouts. The Athletics won in the first meeting between the two teams the night before. The teams have two more games in their current series on the 22nd and 23rd. Then, the Angles host the Rangers for a three game series starting on April 24. Tickets remain available for all games, with prices starting at $5.
4/16/15 - After losing three in a row to the Royals, the Los Angeles Angels came back and beat the Rangers 6-3 in their first match of a three game series. The Angels gave up three runs in the first inning, but Collin Cowgill and David Freese each hit two-run home runs during the fifth inning to help the Angels defeat the Rangers. In the next match, the Angles lost 2-8. The Angels were able to end the Rangers' starting pitcher Nick Martinez' 13-inning scoreless streak with an unearned run during the seventh inning. Southpaw Hector Santiago is set to start on the mound to defend his perfect record when the teams meet again on the 15. Then, the Angels head to Houston to meet the Astros on Friday, April 17. Tickets remain available, starting at $40.
4/7/15 - Opening Day 2015 was not kind to the Los Angeles Angels. Centerfielder Mike Trout homered in the first inning, but the Angels couldn't overcome the Mariners. The final score was 4-1, after Mariners' pitcher Felix Hernandez struck out 10 Angels.

Doesn't look like a particular supermodel is too impressed with Kim Kardashian's and Kanye West's recent Vogue cover. US Magazine reports that Naomi Campbell, who appeared on Australia's 'The Morning Show' today, didn't have much to say when asked about the now infamous cover.
"I do not want to comment," Campbell stated, before erupting in a fit of laughter. When pressed, she responded, "I'm a fashion model and I've been working for 28 years. And when you get a Vogue cover, it's a build in your career…. a stepping stone to achieve that."
The host, digging for more information, asked if Kim and Kanye hadn't earned the privilege to be on the cover. Campbell immediately reacted, "Those are your words, not mine. I'm being politically correct."
The supermodel isn't the only one who seemingly has an opinion on this topic. Last week, Sarah Michelle Gellar took to Twitter to say, "Well……I guess I'm canceling my Vogue subscription. Who is with me???"

I was wondering about good masculine colors for making a scarf. The best ones I've found so far are the various browns that are available in the dk weight cashmere. All you men out there--does brown/tan sound good for a scarf and hat set? I was thinking of making it in an aran pattern for my father. I haven't knitted anything special for him yet, but I've done stuff for my mother and sister. So it's high time that I make him a scarf and a hat. Plus, I can use the leftovers to make something else to sell! Depending on when I have it done, I'll either give it to him for Father's Day in June or his birthday in November. I'm the type of knitter who has 20 projects going at once, so it has to knit up fairly quickly if I'm going to have it done in a reasonable amount of time.

Thanks, Beverly. Actually, I've finally figured out what I want now. I'm thinking that cashmerino in Air Force is a good color for my father. Blue is his favorite color, according to my mother. And I'm getting the same yarn in Aqua Moon for myself. Now to figure out which top to make with it of the two I like. I'm knitting practice tops of both styles. That should be very helpful.
This post relates to the following product: 100% extra fine merino dk and aran weights, other dk merinos

Bravo! Very well done. You're creative skills are definitely improving. I too, recently published my first photobook on Blurb. I didn't spend too much time with adding text to the photos so if the experiment is successful I'm going to do another one for next year's tournament.
Search for 'Karate BC' and you'll find the 2010 KBC Provincials photo album.

ZF-7281: Refactor Zend_Cache_Backend::getTmpDir()'s way to detect the temp dir
Currently the function uses a loop to detect where the temp dir is. Since we now require PHP >= 5.2.4 we can use sys_get_temp_dir() instead
I was said that sys_get_temp_dir is not always available or returns proper data.
Also note that this methodology is available multiple times in the framework. Changing one means of course to change also the others.
If it's not broken don't fix it ;). Seriously though, while the change would be attractive there remains doubt about it's cross-system behaviour. For Zend Framework 2.0 the approach would be better suited if a unified approach was defined somewhere all components could utilise. Zend_Environment might be a possible target for this.
