Re: Can Somebody Nice Explain "Don't Carry a Balance?"

I don't agree with never letting a card report a balance. The fact is that your highest balance is reported. I have allowed a 4k balance to report on chase. A 4890 balance has reported on discover and a 8625 balance has reported on nfcu.
I also paid in full immediately after statement cut.
I personally think that manual reviewers and computers give me bonus points for actually using my cards.
For the most part I don't carry balances but if one months spend is rather high on a card I will let it report just to increase my "high balance"
Highest Balance is the largest balance that's been on the card at any time. If you charged $5k, pay it the next day, and then the statement cuts showing a $0 balance, that $5k high balance will still be reported as your Highest Balance. You don't need to let the statement cut for that to show. And no, you get no bonus points for that.
Pretty much this.
I pay my cards off as soon as I get a chance--usually a few days after a balance shows up online on them. It still shows you use them on your credit report even if the current balance is $0. If your going to purposely carry a balance do so on only one card and use less than 10% of your credit line, howver carrying a balance or letting it cut is not necessary.

Baffled by castor and JavaDoc
David Nedrow
Posts: 1
posted 4 years ago
What I want: Include JavaDoc within the XSD file.
What I want to happen: When the
sources are created, any JavaDoc that was inserted in the XSD should be applied/inserted/added/whatever to the appropriate package|class|property.
Why I want it: As part of a legacy build process, Java sources are generated from the XSDs on each build. Therefore, I can't apply additional JavaDoc to the *.java files, as it would simply be overwritten on the next build. The system is fragile, so correcting the process is not "doable". Therefore, I'm left with trying to find a way to include JavaDoc in the XSD files, and have that travel through the parser to be output in the java source file.
I see examples in various places, but they all seem to involve JAXB. Gleaning from those examples, I have the following...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE DOCUMENT [ <!ENTITY CLASSNAME "ApplyCnamRulesResponse"> <!ENTITY XSDNAME "ApplyCnamRulesResponse.xsd"> ]> <schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://www.fooco.com/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:qw="http://www.fooco.com/XMLSchema" xmlns:qb="http://www.fooco.com/XMLSchema/BIM" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:jxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" jxb:version="2.0"> <include schemaLocation="MipsResponse_v01_00.xsd"/> <element name="ApplyCnamRulesResponse" type="qw:ApplyCnamRulesResponseT"> </element> <complexType name="ApplyCnamRulesResponseT"> <xsd:annotation> <xsd:appinfo> <jxb:class> <jxb:javadoc> Complete <code>&CLASSNAME;</code> JavaDoc in &XSDNAME; </jxb:javadoc> </jxb:class> </xsd:appinfo> </xsd:annotation> <complexContent> <extension base="qw:MipsResponseT"> <sequence> <element name="RetCustSiteNm" type="string" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"> <xsd:annotation> <xsd:appinfo> <jxb:property> <jxb:javadoc> Doc here. </jxb:javadoc> </jxb:property> </xsd:appinfo> </xsd:annotation> </element>
My expectation is that when I look at the castor generated source files, the class JavaDoc includes the line "Complete ApplyCnamRulesResponse JavaDoc in ApplyCnamRulesResponse.xsd", and "Doc Here" for RetCustSiteNm's JavaDoc.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how people are actually generating JavaDoc using the markup above. They never bother to include the mechanical steps of source production. Given the use of JAXB, I'm guessing there is an obvious step that I just haven't glommed on to.
Or, maybe this simply can't be done and we'll have to live with just the auto-gen'd JavaDoc, rather than being able to also include theory, special usage, etc., as when done by hand.
So, the questions:
1) Is there a way to provide extended JavaDoc commentary/markup in the XSD file, and have that carry through to the generated source?
2) If (1), can the comment be done using straight JavaDoc tags (may have to use CDATA) and not have to rely on some goofy Doclet routine?
3) If (1 && 2), could someone please point me to a documented, --working-- example.

Due to the lack of funding by the state and the poor economy currently (in 2011), at Cal poly it is difficult to get the classes you need or want sometimes. The school cannot offer as many sections...

We are a nation peopled almost exclusively by immigrants or those who are descended from immigrants. More than any other major nation, we are defined by our immigrant past, present, and future. Yet there are significant incongruities between the immigration system we currently have and the one that would best serve our economic interests and our ideals as a free society.

text: Now this may seem a bit repetitive, seeing as my last post was a similar but different version of the same scarf. But bear with me, I think you will enjoy the difference and the ease of this new project. I enjoy summer scarves almost as much as winter ones, so when I found a wonderfully soft bamboo knit cotton fabric in wicked awesome patterns I knew just what to do. I decided to turn the project into a "best friends forever bracelet" inspired shared scarf opportunity for two of my favorite ladies. Buying 1 yard of each fabric I wanted to use, gave me enough material to make 2 scarves from each option. The material I purchased feels very similar to jersey, so it isn't too stiff and drapes softly. If you wanted a more voluminous look, you could use a cotton fabric or layer two scarves together for more fullness. If you decide to participate in this project on your own, I would love to see your results. Good luck and enjoy!

Slender Mane by BrookreedWatch
You pony fetishists sure get on my nerves. If I look up "slenderman", I don't want to find a freakin pony for bloody christ's sake! No offense, just a random rant.
Please don't take this as an offense to you or your art. It's just the ponies plainly getting on my nerves in recent times and by mischance, it is you now who carries the can for that. It is just - I really don't understand how people find it enjoyable or consider it as an art crossover. Sorry, but as I said, from my POV turning random characters into derpy ponies is NOT art. It is just plain pointless and annoying since those "crossovers" spam all of the Internet. Of course this is a subjective matter. You may just ignore my comment, but maybe you want to discuss this a little; I'm usually a quite open-minded person...? Maybe you're the one to convince me and to charm me into the cross-pony fandom!
Wouldn't be a bad idea since they surely would be less annoying to me then. Right now, they are VERY annoying. And I mean that. Sorry.
And sorry for the "pony fetishist". It's just that there are LOTS of'em ponies out there - and therefore I conclude that there are enough pony fetishists left. Didn't mean you in particular.
I would actually like to discuss this, if that's okay.
What I meant by the amount of thought is that, there really is much more to making pony crossover characters than simply grabbing symbols and putting them on the pony's flank. The color scheme can take some time to develop. The position of the pony can help the character to be even more personified. Now, I will admit this particular picture didn't take as much time as others (partly because back then I didn't have a tablet, or much pony-drawing experience!). But, take a look at this crossover I did just a little over a month ago: here. I'm not sure if you're familiar with BBC's Sherlock, but that was the character I was attempting to make as a pony. To make a pony crossover, you have to first consider what type of pony (unicorn, pegasus, earth, etc.), and fit that into their personality. I made Sherlock a unicorn because we not only needed him to be a unicorn for the crossover roleplay we were doing at the time, but also because I thought it might help enhance his personality. Then, you have to consider the style. Unlike the Slendermane vector-style pony, I used a realistic style on this because I thought Sherlock deserved the effort. And then, color schemes. Some pony artists use the human skin tones for the main color, but I try to fit them into the MLP world a bit more by picking a different color. I chose a dark purple-ish gray because I wanted to bring out Sherlock's slightly darker side a bit more. And then, of course, you have to figure out the mane, while is divided into three sections: forelocks, mane, and tail. As humans don't exactly have these three things, it can be a little different changing a human hair style to a forelock hairstyle. And the tail should be similar to the mane style as well.
And of course, there is more, such as position and shading to help a character's personality shine through. For me, pony crossovers not only allow me to enjoy the MLP fandom, but also allow me to combine it with other fandoms as well. They are a way to test one's skills in combining pony anatomy with that of something entirely different. My crossovers are not meant to annoy people by any means--they are meant as admiration for not only one but two fandoms.
I can understand that there are some people who make pony crossovers that are annoying. Either if they aren't well-drawn, or are biased towards one fandom in particular, or if they simply show up way too much in the search results. But there are some artists who really care about what they do. I put a lot of effort into my art, and whether people like it or not I don't really care, the important thing is just that I can show my admiration for my favourite characters and fandoms.
Hope that maybe helps to explain why I feel strongly about letting pony crossover art pieces have at least a little appreciation? It really means a lot to me as an artist, because I have indeed spent many long hours drawing these. My time is quite valuable, so I only spend it on things that matter to me.
Thank you for giving me a chance to explain myself~
I am familiar with BBC's Sherlock indeed - I've been quite obsessed with him for a while to be honest. ^^
Still, I don't need him ponified. As I said, I approve of your efforts in ponifying him, though. It's just... not my kind of thing, sorry.
Thank you again for... well, not ignoring me, being the said self-confessed ranting pony foe that I am. I think you gave me at least a reason to stop ranting about the ponies - the ones with thought behind them, I mean.
....And now you're making me want to have this is in a template. >,<

TUCSON - The 56-ranked University of Arizona men's tennis team was topped for its sixth consecutive defeat and fourth straight Pac-10 match today to No. 12 Stanford, 5-2, in the last home match of the season. The Wildcats battled strong in doubles, claiming one of the three matches, and senior Geoff Embry and freshman Andre Vidaller tacked up singles wins for Arizona at the LaNelle Robson Tennis Center.
"We're hanging tough with some of the best teams in the country, head coach Tad Berkowitz said. "It's going to take a little bit more and we can get over the hump."
Doubles opened up with Stanford's No.4-ranked tandem of Ryan Thacher and Bradley Klahn jumping out to a 4-1 lead over the Wildcat freshman-senior combination of Giacomo Miccini and Embry. Thacher and Klahn went on to win 8-3.
Arizona evened the doubles matches at one match a piece after the duo of Vidaller and Jason Zafiros took down the Cardinal No. 67-ranked pair of Alex Clayton and Ted Kelly 8-5. The two teams were deadlocked at 3-3, before Vidaller and Zafiros built a 5-3 lead, then Clayton and Kelly bounced back with two games to give Arizona the 6-5 lead. Vidaller and Zafiros notched the next two games to win 8-5.
The clincher came in the No. 2 spot after the Cardinal pair of Denis Lin and Matt Kandath propelled their way to an 8-3 win over the Wildcat's other freshman-senior duo of Kieren Thompson and Andres Carrasco.
The Cardinal then padded their lead to 5-0, capturing the first four singles matches.
In the No. 4 slot, Zafiros dropped his sixth straight match after winning his first five matches to start the season. The junior fell in straight sets to Lin, 6-1, 6-3.
Stanford then garnered their third point in the No. 1 position after No. 11-ranked Klahn downed senior Jay Goldman in his last home match in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2.
The Cardinal sealed the win in the No. 2 spot in a tough three-setter. The No. 111-ranked Carrasco, jumped out to a 6-3 first set win over No. 32-ranked Thacher. Then the senior from Cabrils, Barcelona, Spain dropped a 6-3 second set, followed by a 6-1 third set.
Arizona dropped its fifth and final match of the day in the No. 3 slot. Stanford's No. 60-ranked Clayton battled Miccini in two tight sets. In the first set, the two were even at 5-5, before Clayton, the senior, captured the next two games, to hold off the freshman Miccini 7-5. The second set came down to a tiebreaker with Clayton earning the 7-4 tiebreaker to win 7-6 (4).
The Wildcats claimed two singles wins in the No. 5 and No. 6 positions, with both coming down to the wire in three sets. Vidaller battled Kandath in the No. 5 slot. After dropping the first set 6-4, the freshman clawed his way back to win 7-5 in the second set and clinched the super tiebreaker 10-6 to capture Arizona's first point of the day.
Embry, the senior from Phoenix, Ariz. took on Jamin Ball in the No. 6 slot in three sets. In the first set, Embry cruised to a 6-3 win, before Ball answered with a close 7-5 second set. Then in the third it was Embry marking up the 7-5 win.
With the loss the Wildcats fall to 8-11, 0-4 in the Pac-10, while Stanford upped its record to 11-5, 2-1 in the Pac-10.
Arizona will now travel on the road for the team's final four dual matches of the season. The Wildcats will first take on UCLA next Friday, April 8 in Los Angeles before facing USC on Saturday, April 9.

Biofilms May Be Responsible for Skin Diseases Becoming Chronic
by Mita Majumdar on August 23, 2012 at 11:21 AM Health Watch - G J E 4
Biofilms are thin, complex layers of diverse communities of micro-organisms (especially bacteria) that adhere to living and non-living things. The organisms within biofilms are embedded in high-molecular weight compounds called extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) that they themselves secrete. EPS is composed of polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, and extracellular DNA (eDNA).
Biofilms form on the surface of indwelling medical devices such as contact lenses, artificial joints and other transplants, pacemakers, intrauterine devices and other implants and lead to serious and lethal infections. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), 65 percent of hospital acquired infections are caused by biofilms.
AdvertisementThe formation and behavior of the biofilm community depends on the quorum sensing (sort of census taking in bacteria), which means, the bacterial populations send out chemical signals to reach a certain size for functioning. Once a quorum is reached, a variety of cellular changes occur, the pathogenic bacteria activate certain genes that can code for toxins and chemicals that cause disease as well as modulate host immunity.
Although biofilms cause about 80 percent of all human infections, detecting them through routine culture techniques is extremely difficult. De-naturating gradient gel electrophoresis and 16S rRNA sequencing are the two new methods currently being used successfully in the research setting for detection of biofilm associated organisms. These methods are not yet available for use in clinical practice.
Similarly, therapeutic approaches have also failed since conventional therapies don't work because biofilm bacteria show much greater resistance to antibiotics than their free-living counterparts.
In their article 'Biofilms in Dermatology', published in the Skin Therapy Letter, Aron Nusbaum and his colleagues, all dermatologists from USA, present the current knowledge regarding the role of biofilms in skin disorders and treatment strategies for management of biofilm associated infections.
Sixty percent of chronic wounds contain biofilms whereas only 6 percent acute wounds contain them, indicating the possible role of biofilms in making the wounds chronic.
Traditional cultures showed that aerobic bacteria Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, and Enterococcus were predominant in the biofilm; but molecular analysis revealed that majority were anaerobic bacteria.
Biofilms have a negative effect on wound healing; rather, they promote tissue damage and contribute to non-healing.
Lactoferrin inhibits bacterial adhesion and decreases biofilm mass and xylitol disrupts EPS formation. Both in combination have been shown to decrease the viability of a dual species Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm when added to a silver dressing.
Future anti-biofilm therapies may also target quorum sensing.
Atopic dermatitis
Colonized by Staphylococcus aureus.
Farnesol and xylitol, each agent alone, inhibited a different stage of biofilm formation but when used concomitantly, they inhibited biofilm formation and also disrupted mature biofilm.
'Ideal topical agents should selectively reduce pathogenic biofilm and restore the balance of skin microflora without the irritant effects typically seen with current topical germicides' say the authors.
Caused by Propionibacterium acnes biofilms. P. acnes are not only very virulent but also produce irritant fatty acids that promote inflammation and enhance the bacteria's adhesion to the sebaceous follicle.
Biofilm-associated P. acnes exhibits increased resistance to commonly used anti-acne agents.
A study found that only 0.1% triclosan, 5% benzoyl peroxide + 0.5% erythromycin, and 5% benzoyl peroxide + 1% clindamycin were effective in both reducing biofilm mass and killing more than 99 percent of biofilm-associated P. acnes.
Of all the tetracyclines that were tested, minocycline was the only agent that removed biofilm and displayed the greatest bactericidal effect.
Future therapies may incorporate agents that alter the physical and biochemical properties of the pilosebaceous unit (the hair shaft, the hair follicle, the sebaceous gland, and the erector pili muscle) in order to create an unfavorable environment for P. acnes biofilm.
Candida albicans forms biofilms on mucosal surfaces and have a key role in promoting Candida infections of the skin, nails, and mucous membranes.
The white plaques characteristic of thrush are presumed to be due to Candida biofilm formation.
Denture stomatitis is directly linked to biofilm formation as dentures are abiotic surfaces.
Traditional antifungals, such as the azoles, are ineffective in recurrent and persistent Candida infections as it is thought to result from the presence of biofilms.
Antifungal agents such as the echinocandins and liposomal formulations of amphotericin B have been shown to be effective against C. albicans biofilms, but are currently available only for intravenous administration.
Future strategies for treatment of Candida biofilm include quorum sensing inhibitors, vaccines, anti-candidal antibodies, cytokine therapy, and specific inhibitors of BCR1 and its target genes.
Persistent adverse reactions to fillers previously thought to be due to allergic or foreign body reactions have now been found to be due to biofilms.
Steroids should be avoided in treatment of adverse reactions to fillers.
Biopsy and cultures have to be performed for late onset reactions or when particulate fillers are used, since routine cultures are often negative in the case of biofilms.
'The performance of filler injections with aseptic precautions is crucial and antibiotic prophylaxis should be considered when injecting into highly colonized areas or acne affected skin' according to the authors.
Other skin disorders
Therapy with acetic acid and hydrochloric acid were found to be effective against S. aureus biofilms for bullous impetigo and pemphigus foliaceus.
Treatment with a combination of imipenem and roxithromycin significantly reduced S. aureus in lesional skin of furuncle, while treatment with either agent alone showed no effect.
There is lack of evidence to support the presence of biofilms in onychomycosis.
The reviewers conclude - 'In the field of dermatology, biofilms appear to be taking center stage, and their presence likely explains the chronic nature of many cutaneous disorders. It is expected that further knowledge regarding the molecular mechanisms that govern biofilm formation, their virulence, and drug resistance will vastly improve the limited therapeutic options currently available to today's clinician'.

Say if $f$ is continuous in $(x,y)$, concave in the first argument $x$ and convex in the second argument $y$.

Snow crystal photography
The return of cold weather with a minor snow storm provided opportunities for photographing snow crystals. Unlike the previous attempts (here and here), that were during the day using sunlight, the latest trials were at night using a flash.
Creating a suitable background that would bring out the details of the crystals was, once again, a major problem. In the 1st 4 pictures below, the crystals were on a glass plate that was raised above a piece of black cloth, while in the last picture the crystal was on a wooden surface.
Here are 3 crystals in a row.
And here is the leftmost crystal enlarged.
The next photo is the result of the serendipitous reflection of the flash from a crystal.
The last picture shows a peculiar crystal. Although it still retained its symmetry, it looks like it was starting to melt or had partially melted and then refrozen.
All of the pictures were taken outdoors using an Olympus E-500 with a 35 mm Zuiko lens attached to the camera via an Olympus 25-mm extension tube. Light was from an Olympus FL-36 flash attached to the camera with a flexible cable (Olympus FL-CB05). Both the camera and the flash were hand-held. Exposure details: 1/160 s at either f13 or f14 with an ISO setting of either 200 or 250. Exposure was controlled primarily by moving the flash closer or further away.

MEDINA TWP. — Township officials are exploring whether to change the township's name to Weymouth, the onetime seat of Medina County.
"We are just kicking the idea around," Trustee Michael Todd said.
Todd said most people he has talked with are opposed, but that he doesn't believe that is a true representation of the township as a whole.
He said people who want to see the change are concerned with reclaiming the history of the area — Weymouth was the original seat of Medina County when it was founded in 1812.
Todd said those in opposition say they don't see the point of changing the name.
He urges residents to voice their opinions to him.
Trustees have to decide before Aug. 7 whether to put a name-change issue on the Nov. 4 ballot.
If voters approved an issue, Todd said the transition would be as smooth as possible for residents and businesses alike.
"Even if we were to adopt it, we would try to give leeway and time for people to adjust," Todd said.

This fascinating and thought-provoking photography book portrays older people and moments in their lives. The B&W photographs show ordinary people, in ordinary situations, which are seen across the United Kingdom every day of the week. People go shopping, catch buses, sit, talk, walk their dog and simply look at life around them. These images capture brief moments that reflect the hopes, uncertainties and often mundane nature of lives that perhaps, look back rather than forward. A thoroughly rewarding visual portrayal of an often neglected sector of society. The pictures are keenly and imaginatively observed and invite the viewer to re-appraise their own attitudes towards the lives of others.
Philip is a photographer with a passion for street and documentary photography and enjoys any opportunity to explore the 'human condition' pictorially.

Lucky, a 12-year-old pit bull, is anything but...the elderly dog was left at the Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control facility in Baldwin Park, Calif., by his owner on January 29.
Lucky's body shows the toll that time has taken...his eyes are cloudy, his spine shows, and he moves like a senior.
This betrayed elder bull is in grave danger at the facility - potential adopters typically do not seek out a dog who is near the end of their life - they tend to be drawn to the puppies or young adults - the dogs who still have a spring in their step.
Lucky did not choose to be in this lonely kennel run, surrounded by strangers, but he is relying on the kindness of strangers to help him leave.
Please take a moment to network Lucky's information:

text: Posted November 6, 2012 Didnt the New York Giants, in 2007 get hot and win the Super Bowl because of their pass rush picking it up mid season and causing havoc the rest of the season? I would argue the same thing happened last year when they won it, but last year was more due to Eli. A good pass rush is one of the biggest things to getting hot, if you can knock around the opposing quarterback and get to him like we have the past two weeks Im not so sure we couldnt make a run. The game this week that spoke volumes was the fact that the Bears put up 50+ against the lowly Titans, a team we were dominating in every facet up to the late 4th quarter. Long story short, if we are gonna make a run, potentially to the playoffs, we could do it with the defensive line play we have been seeing as of late.

A lot of healing really. To begin with, I just spent time with my daughter and learned how to be a normal, straight person who was not on drugs. I also had to learn how to be Paige's mom all over again.
For the most part, the attention was positive. There were a few people who were like, "Uh huh, see I told you she wasn't this perfect angel or whatever."
I was like, "No kidding! That was my point from the beginning."A?
But for the most part, the feedback was wonderful. Since the book has come out, I've been able to go out and do a lot of public speaking. It still amazes me when people come up to me—and they don't even have to be addicted to anything, they just have a problem in their life—and they say, "Ashley, you've given me hope."
• 'My Life Is a Testimony'
• The Gift of a Second Chance
I'm like, "Jesus gives you hope through me."
Some people asked me whether it was God or the meth that calmed him down. To those people I said, "You know, meth doesn't calm you. It speeds you up. It makes you hallucinate, go crazy. Really, that's what it did to me. And obviously, he settled down. So the answer to the question is yes, it was God."
The first step in any program is realizing there is a greater power than yourself. When you're trying to come clean and restore your sanity, you just have to give it all to God. And that is where I left mine—with God. I don't necessarily go through a 12-step program now and I didn't then. I just leave it all to God.A?
My surroundings have totally changed. The people I hang out with, the way I live my life, all aspects of my life changed. Yes, I know how hard it is to get off meth, but I wanted to do it long before that night.

Leo Seal Jr. Football Complex
Click here to locate the Leo Seal Jr. Football Complex on the MSU campus map.
Photo Gallery
Officially opened in January 2013, the Leo Seal Jr. Football Complex is an all-encompassing football training and office facility of approximately 80,000 square feet. The facility includes a new weight room, locker room, training room and coaches' offices. Located immediately north and adjacent to the Palmeiro Center, the building overlooks the football practice fields to the east and Mississippi Highway 12 to the west.
Funding for the outstanding facility was announced in April 2011 when the largest gift in Bulldog Athletics history was made, a $12 million donation from the Seal Family Foundation of Gulfport, Miss. That gift helped fund a $20-25 million project to build the Seal Football Complex and also renovate MSU's football practice fields.
The gift, given by former Bulldog football players - twin brothers Lee and Leo Seal - was made in honor their late father Leo Seal Jr. Seal, Jr. was a former Mississippi State football player, long-time Bulldog Club donor and president of Hancock Bank.
"The generosity of the Seal family has always set a great example of philanthropic donations to Mississippi State, both academics and athletics," director of athletics Scott Stricklin said. "Not only is it the largest gift in our athletics history, it will most likely be one of the largest gifts in all of college athletics this year. Lee and Leo have carried on the legacy of giving set forth by their father and grandfather."
Lee and Leo's father, the aforementioned Leo Seal Jr., provided lead funding for the construction of the Seal M-Club Building at Davis Wade Stadium, named for Leo Seal Sr., as well as the Leo W. Seal Family Business Complex at the College of Business.
"My father and grandfather both had a love for Mississippi State and an appreciation for the opportunity to play football in the Southeastern Conference and represent their state," Lee Seal said. "My brother and I both hold that same passion for our alma mater and we're excited to help the university and our football program."
"I'm extremely appreciative of the Seals and other families who have helped make this a reality," head coach Dan Mullen said. "This is a vital addition to our football program. We've talked since I've arrived at Mississippi State about getting all of our football operations under one roof, allowing us to have daily interaction with each of our players and continuing to develop the family atmosphere around our program – this will accomplish those goals."

With the season changing, it seems only right to switch up my fragrance. When it comes to fragrance, I like anything sweet. I have grown into more floral scents lately, but a sweet scent will always be my go to. So Hooked on Carmella by Benefit literally ticks every box for me. It is quite literally, Summer in a bottle. I always seem to have a bottle lying round and as soon as I smell it I am transported to fun times in the sun.
If you've not had a whiff of this before, then I will try my best to describe it for you. The major note in this fragrance is vanilla, teamed with peony, sandalwood and amber this is definitely a Summer scent.
Benefit always have fun packaging and this bottle is no exception.This cute 30ml bottle fits perfectly in my handbag making it ideal for touch ups during the day. In my opinion, this is quite strong for an eau de toilette which means you need to go sparingly with the application. I spritz it on in the morning, and even in the afternoon I can still smell it on my clothes.

FLIR E6 Thermal Imager with MSX Technology
Introducing the FLIR E4, E5, E6 and E8
The First Real Infrared Cameras with Thermal, Visible, and MSX Imaging Starting Under $1K
Now you can afford the ultimate home inspection tool. Gain the competitive advantage, get more done, and take care of more customers. Blow them away with dramatic MSX thermal images that clearly reveal where missing insulation, air leaks, and moisture intrusion are hiding -- convincing evidence that shows where to make repairs to improve energy efficiency, structural integrity, and comfort. An E4, E5, E6 or E8 can help you solve problems and save money for property owners, leading to greater credibility and opportunities.
Your Vision Is About to Go Thermal
FLIR thermal imaging cameras let you see amazing things that your eyes alone can't, taking you beyond the visible spectrum into the infrared world of hot and cold. With the power to detect and visualize heat issues, a FLIR can show you where potential trouble is brewing. By using a thermal imager to help you find hidden problems early, you have a chance to get them fixed before they cause "self-evident" damage, waste more energy, hurt someone, or shut things down.
Which Camera is Right for You?
Whether you're new to infrared inspections or already a Level III thermographer, a variety of important factors will figure into your thermal camera decision: how often you use the camera, what you're inspecting, the angles you're shooting from, target size, high temperatures, distance, and other considerations. That's why we've created this guide to help you determine the right fit for your application, budget, and the way you like to work.
Consider the insulation contractor who got off to a fast start with a low-cost i7 and quickly became known for finding all kinds of ways to help people save on their energy bills. Needing to add a second camera to keep pace, he chose an E60 for its higher IR detail, built-in digital camera, and MSX® enhancement for clearer documentation. The FLIR app connectivity to his iPad made it easier to show results to customers. And the 320 x 240 image clarity improved his web site.
Obviously, different requirements mean one thermal imager may or may not fit all. So, along with this guide, we encourage you to consult with your FLIR dealer or representative who will gladly help you hone your decision.
MSX: A Bold New Form of Thermal Imaging
If you plan to share saved images with customers or co-workers, a thermal image alone isn't always enough to help them understand what they're seeing. That's why FLIR developed MSX ® Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging to bring together the best of both spectrums in a striking, innovative way. Now onboard the full line of new FLIR E-Series and T-Series cameras, MSX instantaneously generates a definitive, all-in-one thermal picture that easily orients you to the location of the problem as soon you see it on the screen or in a report. No more guesswork or messing around with extra photos.
Thermal Imaging for Building Diagnostics
FLIR infrared cameras give you the power to make the invisible visible. With thermal imaging, you can see, detect, and document telltale temperature differences that show moisture damage, missing insulation, air drafts, nests in walls, and more.
Thermal imagers from FLIR can help you find hidden building problems faster than any other technology, and produce customized reports to justify and validate the quality of repair work.
Missing Insulation
Locate poor insulation quickly by detecting and comparing differences with surrounding areas.
Water Damage
Find and fix hidden water damage quickly before small problems become big, expensive ones, and document proof of your repairs.
Air Leaks
Detect air leaks around windows, doors, and other structures. Repairing them saves energy and money.
Electrical Problems
Finding hidden electrical problems is easy with FLIR, allowing you to take quick action to solve them.
HVAC Problems
Discover leaking ductwork and troubleshoot heating, AC, and radiant flooring problems to maximize energy efficiency.
Mold and Rot
See temperature differences to expose hidden leaks that can lead to expensive and extensive health issues and structural damage.
Destructive Pests
Hunt down burrowing and nesting insects and rodents before they eat customers out of house and home.

I've encounter many proves of Tensorail identity that begin with assuming our tensor can be written in form of: $T^{\alpha\beta}=u^{\alpha}v^{\beta}$ . As helpful is it might be, I'm not sure if its a valid assumption, and if there are $\alpha\times\beta$ Independent components.
It's not a good asssumption: a general rank-2 tensor cannot be written in this way. Suppose the vectors live in $D$-dimensional Euclidean space for definiteness. Then the tensor
$$T_{ab} = u_a v_b$$ projects almost all vectors to zero. To be precise, if $x^a v_a = 0,$ then $(T \cdot x)^a = 0$ and similarly if $y^a u_a = 0$ then $(y \cdot T)_b = 0$. Yet the subspace $\{ x^a \, | \, x \cdot v = 0 \}$ is $(D-1)$-dimensional, and the same goes for $\{ y^a \, | \, y \cdot u = 0 \}$.
In general, a tensor can have much smaller null spaces (kernels) - $\delta_{ab}$ is a perfectly fine tensor but it has an empty null space - it doesn't project anything to zero.

In addition to clinical practice, other themes emphasized throughout the primary care courses include: an epidemiological approach to clinical problems; holism and caring; family and community systems; appropriate use of technology; cost effectiveness; collaboration; consultation and the referral process; theoretical frameworks; and the research base for primary care practice. BSN to MSN students can complete the program in four semesters and one intervening summer practicum.
Clinical practice sites are generally located in central NC, but may extend across the state and require travel of up to 1.5 hours one-way. A variety of settings are utilized: family practices; health maintenance organizations; student health services; occupational health clinics; home health services; rural clinics; and child, adolescent, adult and geriatric sites.
Student's interests and needs guide the selection of clinical placements, papers, and presentations. FNP students with an interest in community oriented primary care or global health have opportunities to focus their study in areas of special interest such as vulnerable populations or health disparities through clinical placements, elective courses, and the Master's Paper. Additionally, students may choose from a wider variety of electives outside the School of Nursing, in the many different departments and schools at Carolina. Students are encouraged to talk with their advisors about their interests in special areas for developing an individualized plan of study.

The federal regulations for Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) includes many provisions to protect the rights of parents and their child with a disability while also giving families and school systems means by which to resolve disputes. These rights are known as procedural safeguards. Parents and students have specific rights under this law to additional requirements for discipline under the statute 34 CR &300.530.
Under IDEA, the school personnel may consider any unique circumstances on a case-by-case basis, when determining whether a change of placement, is appropriate for a child with a disability who violates a school code of student conduct. This decision must be made in accordance with the following requirements related to disciplining students with disabilities.
In general, to the extent that school personnel may take action for children without disabilities, they may not remove a student with a disability for more than ten school days in a row. If a student with a disability who violates a code of student conduct is removed from their current educational placement for more than ten school days (or for the same incident of misconduct on separate occasions) then they must be placed in an appropriate interim alternative educational setting. This setting is determined by the student's IEP team. School personnel may also impose additional removals of the student of not more than ten school days in a row that same school year for separate incidents of misconduct as long as those removals do not constitute a change of placement.
The services that must be provided to a student with a disability who has been removed from the student's current placement may be provided in an interim alterative educational setting. A school district is only required to provide services to a student with a disability who has been removed from their current placement for ten school days or less in one school year if it provides services to a student without disabilities who has been similarly removed.
A student with a disability who is removed from the student's current placement for more than ten school days must:
• Continue to receive educational services, so as to enable the student to continue to participate in the general education curriculum, although in another setting, and to progress toward meeting the goals set out in the student's IEP and
• Receive, as appropriate, a functional behavioral assessment and behavioral intervention services and modifications that are designed to address the behavior violation so that it does not happen again.
If the removal is a change of placement, the student's IEP team must reconvene to determine the appropriate services which will allow the student to continue to participate in the general education curriculum while in another educational setting and to progress toward meeting the goals which were agreed upon in the IEP.
In the next article, the process of manifestation determination will be discussed.

Deer Trail Feeback
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
One of Colorado largest races went off yesterday, Deer Trail, also one of the few remaining road races in Colorado which might explain it's continued high attendance despite its remote location. This year's course was somewhat new and as always out there, weather played a big factor which usually is testing riders ability to ride with wind.
How did you think the race went (your field, organization, weather, etc)?
Other rider's experience
- SM Cat 3 rider [snippet]
The only solution to this problem is to out-organize the blocking teams or form a chasing breakaway. I have to give credit to BRC and a nod to Feedback for preventing either of these from happening. BRC in particular had a few very strong riders who would shut down any attempt to break away or organize.
As we reached the final turn around, with only about 25 riders remaining in the peloton, we could see the break headed in the opposite direction with a lead of maybe 1-2 minutes. We realized this was insurmountable and the pace slowed for the remaining few miles to the finish.
- [From Twitter] @jon_beasys Groove Subaru went Mapei on the P/1/2's Baker & Davies bridged 3' gap to break, & went 1,2,3 with Davies, Krause, Coyle

In just a few weeks, blueberries in our area will be ripe and ready to pick. Almost every time my five-year-old granddaughter comes over to visit, she runs over to our three bushes to see if any of the berries are ready to eat as this will be the fourth summer she will be able to eat blueberries fresh off the vine.
Already, thoughts of her mommy's homemade blueberry muffins are dancing in her head. Her dad makes great pancakes, so I'll share this recipe for blueberry pancakes. Since it only makes 4 pancakes, he'll have to make at least a double batch for the family.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ cup plain yogurt
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ¾ cup fresh blueberries
- Preheat griddle over medium heat.
- Stir together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon and sugar, set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the egg, yogurt, milk and oil.
- Gradually stir in the flour mixture, then fold in the blueberries.
- Pour batter onto hot greased griddle, two tablespoons at a time.
- Cook over medium heat until bubbles pop and stay open, then turn over and cook on the other side until golden.

When I login to the console of my Solaris box any command that would normally generate a bell (tab completion with more than one result, pressing an arrow key one too many times, etc) causes the physical system to beep. This is especially obnoxious because the beeps queue so a simple slip up (holding the left arrow too long) can cause it to keep beep for 5-10seconds because each bell needs to be heard.
Is there a simple way to disable this behavior in Solaris? I'm running OmniOS, but I imagine it applies equally to any version of Solaris or other Illumos based distributions (OpenIndiana, Nexenta, etc).

They Say, 'One Size Fits All'. Well, It Doesn't Always Fit!
All credit unions are not alike. Here at the NJCUL Compliance Center, we don't treat you that way when it comes to your compliance needs. Credit unions can be similar in asset size, but very different in terms of whom they serve, day-to-day operations, market, or the financial education and professional knowledge of its staff and leaders.
When it comes to compliance...why take chances? There is an ever-increasing need for credit union CEOs/managers, staff, directors, and volunteers to take advantage of customized training. Regulatory requirements for annual training as well as increased examiner expectations for directors to their fiduciary duties and responsibilities calls for credit union leaders to become more proactive about setting aside time and monies for education/training for themselves as well as their staff.
The League has a host of customized compliance training solutions to offer you. If you don't see it here, call us and we will work with you to design a program that fits your needs. Customized training is for groups or individuals and can take place at your location or ours. Don't wait, contact us today to schedule training for your credit union!
If you need help preparing and budgeting for a compliance training plan, contact us, we can help with that too!

The Washington Post reported on Tuesday, March 18 that 5 million Americans have signed up for Affordable Care Act, and with just 13 days left until the March 31 deadline to enroll, the estimate of 6 millions members is within reach.
The 6 million figure comes from the Congressional Budget Office, and only includes those who have signed up for health insurance on the exchange. Those numbers do not include the millions who have received coverage through the Medicaid expansion programs in their states.
But while it is evident that the Affordable Care Act is helping millions of Americans in need, Republicans have spent millions of dollars blasting the airwaves telling anyone who will listen of those whose lives have allegedly been devastated by the Affordable Care Act, or 'Obamacare'. Nearly every one of those stories turns out to be a fantasy woven by the law's opponents to scare Americans away from enrolling. One example is he case of a cancer-stricken patient who would in fact save money with the ACA.
Another example of a well-spun story, this time by Fox News features Larry Basich, a 62-year-old Las Vegas resident who selected a United Healthcare plan in November owes $400,000 because of a heart attack he suffered while waiting for his coverage to begin. United Healthcare, along with his employer, Xerox botched his enrollment and while the story is an appalling one, it is not the fault of President Obama, or the Affordable Care Act.
March 31 is the deadline to sign up, and after that you won't be able to sign up for a private plan until the next open enrollment period scheduled for November. Lower-income Americans may still qualify year-round for Medicaid programs.

Gerard Noonan has commented on working with CD Projekt RED with the upcoming multiplatform video game, "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt." According to a report from Otaku Study on Jan. 16, the SVP at Namco Bandai Games Asia Pacific confirmed that his company will be publishing the open-world action-role-playing games for the Australia and New Zealand regions.
Gerard Noonan called the developed studio "world class" as the employees at CD Projekt RED are passionate about their video games and the enthusiast community. He went on to state that "The Witcher" series is one of the "most revered" in the industry, adding that it will be brought to "greater heights" thanks to the advent of the PS4 and Xbox One. You can find a few "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" screens in the slideshow to the left side of this article and his comments on the partnership below:
CD Projekt RED is a world class developer that cares passionately about its games and its fans. We are therefore delighted and proud to again be their chosen partner in Australia and New Zealand and we are very excited to add the eagerly awaited 'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt' to our 2014 line-up. The Witcher series is one of the industries most revered video game franchises and with the power of the new generation of consoles we expect CD Projekt RED will take the series to even greater heights.
Although Gerard Noonan confirmed that the sequel will be coming out sometime later this year, he did not revealed a more specific release date timeframe. "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" is being developed for the PC platform as well as the two recently-launched next-generation systems.
The PS4 and Xbox One were both released last year in the North American region with the former coming out on Nov. 15th while the latter was made available on Nov. 22nd.

Wildcats Secure FAMU Sweep with 4-0 Sunday Shutout
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 04/07/2013
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The Bethune-Cookman Wildcats (18-17, 10-5 MEAC) were steady both offensively and defensively in solidifying the complete sweep of the Florida A&M Rattlers (2-32, 2-13 MEAC) in a 4-0 shutout, Sunday at Moore-Kittles Field.
The Wildcats built the lead over the Rattlers throughout Sunday's contest, showing patience provided by a solid defensive performance. B-CU opened the scoring in the top of the second inning. Anthony Stokes led off with a double to deep center, then scoring on a fielding error picking up Clay Middleton's grounder.
Despite the narrow advantage, the Wildcats played in control and added some cushion in the top of the fifth, as Josh Johnson got the Wildcats started with a double deep down the left field line. Starting his second game back in the outfield, Johnson scored from second as Eros Modena dropped a Texas League single into center field to put the Cats on top 2-0.
Combining with B-CU starter Ali Simpson, FAMU's William Carrasco turned the game to a pitcher's duel early and shut down several Wildcats' scoring opportunities before being relieved early in the ninth inning, when a pair of two-way players allowed B-CU the opportunity to build in some insurance runs.
Johnson led off the ninth against Carrasco with a triple deep to left center. With their starter well over 100 pitches on the day, the Rattlers turned to Kendal Weeks, who started at shortstop. Brandon Turner's hot shot line drive chipped the first base bag to stay fair and allowed the senior an RBI double. Turner reached third on a wild pitch and capped off the Wildcats' scoring, crossing the plate easily on Modena's RBI single through the left side. FAMU third baseman Reginald Grant then took the mound and closed out the frame for FAMU with minimal damage.
Simpson (3-4) provided the Wildcats with seven effective innings for the win, maintaining the shutout, while allowing just three hits, walking two and striking out five Rattlers batsmen. Simpson gave way to Jordan Dailey in the eighth, who collected his sixth save of the year after allowing just two hits and striking out three across his two-inning appearance.
"I think he did a great job today," Head Coach Jason Beverlin said of Simpson. "His change-up has been huge. Being able to throw that for a strike whenever he wants really compliments his other pitches."
Modena and Johnson led the Wildcats at the plate, each batting 3-for-5 in the contest, with Modena logging a pair of RBI. Of the Wildcats' 11 hits in the FAMU finale, seven were for extra bases, including six doubles and a triple.
"We got into some balls, were able to drive some gaps and burn them a little bit to get runners in scoring position right away," Beverlin said. "It helped us score runs early and tacked on a couple at the end. That was plenty with the way we pitched today."
This series sweep not only spans the weekend, but also the season, as B-CU is now 6-0 against the Rattlers on the year, providing a lift for the Wildcats in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) standings.
With all the weekend's games complete, the Wildcats were able to reclaim ownership of the top spot in the MEAC Southern Division, holding a half-game advantage on North Carolina Central after the Eagles split with North Carolina A&T in Greensboro.
"Like we talked about yesterday, we control our own destiny," Beverlin said. "We play everybody in the division one more time [except FAMU]. As long as we take care of business with all these teams, we're going to sit at first place in our division."
The Wildcats have a quick turnaround, returning to Jackie Robinson Ballpark to face Stetson (15-17) in their first, and only, Monday (April 8) contest of the season. The game is a rescheduled game from the Feb. 26 meeting which was rained out. First pitch is set for 6 p.m.

Will Tavern on the Green Move to Brooklyn?
The Central Park icon could reinvent itself as a hotel, too.
With only a couple of weeks left to go before the New Year's Eve swan song, it would seem that the sad and unusual legal saga of Tavern on the Green is coming to a close. In a profile about operator Jennifer LeRoy, who took control of the restaurant in 2001 when she was 21-years-old, Crain's catches Tavern on the Green chief operating officer Michael Desiderio (the "pseudo LeRoy") speculating about the restaurant's future. "Maybe we'll open a Tavern on the Green hotel or a Tavern on the Green [restaurant] in Brooklyn," he said, presumably pending a decision about the restaurant's trademarked name. Last week, the LeRoy family hired a consulting firm to pimp out the Tavern on the Green name as a possible franchise model, although a legal decision about trademark ownership has yet to be made.

The high school baseball season is almost half over, and despite the horrific weather the Cleveland area has had, most teams have gotten in at least 11 games. First place votes are in parenthesis.
- Cincinnati Moeller (5) 11-2
- Walsh Jesuit (19) 13-0
- Lakota West (2) 13-2
- Springboro (1) 14-1
- Mason 14-2
- St. Ignatius 14-2
- Perrysburg 8-2
- Cincinnati Elder 7-4
- Mentor (1) 10-2
- Cincinnati Anderson 15-3
- Hudson 10-2
- Grove City 12-5
- Wadsworth 9-0
- Marysville 11-5
- Olentangy Liberty 13-4
(The teams that are ranked 9th, 10th, and 11th Mentor, Cincinnati Anderson, and Hudson, are actually tied for 9th in total points. They are ranked the way they are because Mentor has a first place vote, and Anderson has more top 5 votes than Hudson).
What have we learned so far?
Moeller is good, but not unbeatable.... Moeller was the preseason pick to return to Columbus and win another state championship. The Crusaders have lost two games, but it wasn't like they were to bad competition. Both of Moeller's losses were to crosstown rival Elder in a three game series.
How can Walsh Jesuit have 19 first place votes, and still be ranked second?....Strange isn't it? The Warriors have by far and away the most first place votes. Problem is, they have only one second place vote, and two third place votes, while Moeller has 13 second place votes and 5 third place votes. Walsh has looked like a dominant team, led by Ryan Feltner and Ty Shoaff. If Walsh continues to pitch, they are a threat to anyone, since the Warriors may have the best offense in the state.
The Cleveland area is well represented.... Walsh, St. Ignatius, Mentor and Hudson are all ranked in the top ten. Watch out for Hudson. The Explorers are very balanced. They can put up runs in bunches, and have enough pitching to make them a nightmare for opposing teams.
Any team outside the Top 15 worth keeping an eye on?.... Two of them. Massillon Jackson and Brecksville. The Polar Bears of Massillon Jackson sit at 11-4, and have played a difficult schedule. They should be in great position leading up to their May 17th battle with Hudson. Brecksville always has good teams, and this year is no exception. The Bees sit at 10-4, and have big games coming up against Westlake May 5th, and Wadsworth May 9th
Of course, not all of these teams will make it to Columbus and the state final four. Much will be sorted out next week, when the district pairings will be released. No matter where these teams go to play their districts, there should be some great potential match-ups if form holds.

"Survivor" fans have always loved Rob Mariano and his wife Amber. The two met and fell in love on the show and have turned into one of the most successful reality TV love stories out there. On Tuesday, People shared the news that this reality TV couple just had another baby girl. It looks like Rob wasn't meant to have a boy considering this is their 4th daughter.
The new baby is Adelina Rose Mariano 12:51 a.m. June 20th, 2014. Rob shared on Twitter that mom and the baby are both doing great which is good news to hear. All of their daughters have the middle name Rose. Lucia is 4 1/2, Carina is 3 1/2 and Isabetta is just 2. They have their hands full at home but the couple doesn't seem to mind at all. They really seem to love being parents and have stayed out the spotlight for a while now to be parents instead.
Rob is outnumbered for sure now. It is unknown if they will have any more children in the future. Amber still looks fantastic after having four children. All of these little girls at home could keep the pair from ending up on reality TV again though. Fans would love to see them back on TV but as of right now they are pretty busy at home. You never know what the future might hold for this great couple.
Rob Mariano went to his Twitter page today simply saying "#tired." It is easy to assume that this could be from that new baby girl at home keeping him awake but she is worth it. Fans love Rob and Amber and want to wish them the best with their new little girl Adelina Rose Mariano. He also shared that his other three little girls are excited about their new little sister.

Well the poll on my profile at FanFiction.Net has come to a close, and the results were rather one-sided. All except for one miserable voter (whoever he/she is) agreed that my idea was logical, so I will be proceeding with it and will be starting the first chapter of "Legend of the Dragon Master: Kanto" today. I am looking for a Beta-reader for this story but I will still publish chapters until I get one.
Speaking of Beta-readers, I would like to publicly thank the following members at FanFiction.Net for Beta-reading my stories for me (despite me writing MA rated stuff most of the time):
- Auramaster24 for "Time's Changes" (and his OC characters – thanks also goes to those who provided their OCs for this story's tournament)
- Matthew Carter for "Trainer of Destiny" series and my future Waterflower sisters story (not many are willing to put up with incest [AshxDelia] and human/Pokemon pairings so thank you!)
- PokePenguin2459 for "Keeping Old Promises" and "Taking Responsibility" – Abilityshippers are rare so a huge thank you to you!
- beastmode953 for "Darkest Before Dawn" – Emotions are not one of my strong points, and I need the emotions to be great for this one, so thank you!
However, I still need Beta-readers for the following stories and pairings for future stories besides The Mareshipping Chronicles series:
- Ash x Maylene (for my rewrite of Jiyle's "The Aura is With Me")
- Ash x Domino
- Return of The Champion (Ash x Iris) – I don't know why this pairing is not liked by many.
- The Blue Mew series
- The FireRedShipping Chronicles (have plans for both prequels and a sequel to "The Perfect Gift")
- Stargate: Atlantis Adventures
- Love in Sinnoh (originally by Zombyra – both Pearl and Ability ships)
- Guardian Prince of Aura
If you are interested in Beta-reading any of the above, get in contact with me at FanFiction.Net or Unlimited Fan Fiction, but be advised I accept help from those aged at least 18 only due to the way I write. 😉
Until the next time I post, take care. 😉

Are we to see additional drafts for schemes to cram this information into telnet sessions, web site traffic, telephone calls, etc.? Or maybe you'd like to add options to send that information in every IP packet... On Tuesday 06 November 2007 16:58:23 Peter Saint-Andre wrote: > Gmail is an integrated service.

The outpouring of support, emotional and financial, for the "hero" and victims of last week's Seattle Pacific University shooting has been truly heartwarming. As of Monday, June 9, members of the community have donated $60,000 for help with victims medical bills, funeral preparations for one who died, and wedding registry gifts for the "hero" student who jumped into save the day.
The response to Thursday's shooting has been decidedly different. Rather than the media attention focusing on the shooter's profile, it has largely gone to one brave student named Jon Meis, who jumped in on the shooter when he was reloading, pepper sprayed him, and stopped him from exerting more damage.
When people in the community found out about Meis' identity and upcoming wedding, complete strangers bought all the items on the gift registry, and a producer from 710 ESPN Seattle started a crowd-funding page to help pay for their honeymoon, raising over $40,000. Meis has asked for privacy and help for the victim's families.
Meis released a statement Monday morning. Among other things, he said:
"When I came face to face with the attacker, God gave me the eyes to see that he was not a faceless monster, but a very sad and troubled young man. While I cannot at this time find it within me to forgive his crime, I truly desire that he will find the grace of God and the forgiveness of our community."
The shooter was identified as Aaron Ybarra, a 26 year old male who was not a student at the school. A motive is still unknown, but he has a history of mental health issues. He is currently held without bail.
