Four Bruin decathletes wrapped up competition on Thursday at the Mt. SAC Relays/California Invitational Decathlon in Azusa.
Marcus Nilsson was competing in the top section of the decathlon, the Mt. SAC Relays section, and was on track for a huge score before no-heighting in the pole vault. Despite not clearing a height, the sophomore surpassed 7000 points and finished 11th overall (7025 pts.).
On the final day of the decathlon, Nilsson tallied two lifetime-bests and one season-best performance. He ran a career-best 14.99 in the 110m hurdles for the seventh-fastest time of the day (851 pts.). He then threw a lifetime-best of 144-1 in the discus for the No. 2 mark in the competition (744 pts.).
Nilsson then no-heighted in the pole vault, but rebounded with a season-best throw of 188-6 in the javelin (3rd, 700 pts.). He ended the day with the No. 2 1500m time, 4:21.17, for 7025 points.

Bridal and Engagement Rings
�With this ring, I thee wed.� As he says these words, your husband to be slips a simple gold wedding band on the fourth finger of your left hand. Then, you repeat the same words and place a ring on his finger. It is a magic moment, a tradition that is as much a part of the wedding ceremony as your vows. You probably can�t imagine getting married without the words or the rings. Yet, it might surprise you to learn that this is not an ancient custom at all, but rather a fairly new one. The double ring ceremony didn�t come into fashion until late in the nineteenth century. Furthermore, rings were not always worn on what Americans call the �ring finger.� In many parts of the world, the engagement and bridal rings are worn on the right hand, not the left. In some European countries, the wedding ring begins life as an engagement ring. It doesn�t signify marriage until it is engraved. And, among some Eastern religions, rings are not even exchanged during the wedding ceremony. So, how did this treasured part of the wedding ceremony become sacrosanct?
Wedding Ring Traditions
Today, the wedding ring � a circlet made of precious metal � symbolizes the institution of marriage. The bridal and engagement rings tell the world that you are committed to another human being, one half of a couple, �till death do you part.� They are small but mighty symbols of eternal love and fidelity. It was an ancient Egyptian who first placed a ring on the finger of his bride, but not necessarily to pledge his undying devotion. It was more a sign that he had confidence in her ability to care for his house. A Greek or Roman bridegroom gave a ring to their father-in-law, rather than their bride, which probably grew out of an even older practice of purchasing a wife.
Traditions come in and out of favor for many reasons. One is simply good marketing. The American jewelry industry tried to popularize the double-ring ceremony in the late 1800s, but this first effort proved unsuccessful. In fact, exchanging rings, or �doubling ceremonies,� as they were called, didn�t catch on until the late 1930s. Following the War, an improved economy and better marketing helped the industry considerably. By the early forties, 80 percent of all weddings had become double-ring ceremonies.
Bridal and engagement rings, as betrothal presents, comprise one long-standing tradition that has endured. But, in another marketing effort by the jewelry industry, the engagement ring is now often the first in a series of gifts, with the wedding ring given last. The series may include a promise ring, which shows that this is a serious romance; an eternity ring, which symbolizes a lasting marriage; and a trilogy ring, which represents the past, present, and future of the relationship with three brilliant cut diamonds.
Wearing the ring on the fourth finger of the left hand is a time-honored custom in America, England, and France. In other countries, however, the ring is worn on the fourth finger of the right hand. This finger is significant because it is supposed to contain the vena amoris, veia d�amore, or vein of love. This belief originated in classical times, but in actually, it is a myth with no scientific basis. By wearing their rings on that finger, a man and woman were declaring their eternal love.
In some European countries, the wedding ring is the same as the engagement ring. It is the engraving on the inside or wearing it on the hand that changes its meaning. If the wedding ring is a separate ring, there are several ways to wear it. One is for the bride to wear her engagement ring on her left ring finger and have the groom slip the bridal band on the same finger. The bride may also wear her engagement ring on her right ring finger, leaving the left hand in readiness for the bridal band. After the wedding, she may wear both rings together (in fact, they are sometimes attached to each other) or on two different hands.
There is great variation the order in which rings are placed on the bride�s finger. In one, the bride wears the wedding ring below the engagement ring to make it closer to her heart. In another, she wears the ring above the engagement ring, which symbolizes the progression from engagement to marriage. Still another is that the wedding ring is worn alone. In the US, wedding bands are often sold in sets of three, which include the engagement ring, a slender wedding band that is later attached to the engagement ring, and the groom�s ring.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Heavy snow fall and cold, blustery conditions have forced the cancellation of the series finale between Alabama and UIC on Sunday in Tuscaloosa.
The two teams were scheduled to play a four-game series this weekend, but weather forced the cancellation of two games. The series opener was cancelled due to rain and severe weather on Friday, while winter weather cancelled Sunday's finale.
Alabama had a big offensive day on Saturday, sweeping a double-header from UIC. The Tide won the opener 4-2 and cruised to a 20-4 win in the nightcap.
The Crimson Tide will look to add games to the 2009 schedule to make up for the two cancelled games this weekend. Fans should hold on to the tickets for "Game 6" and "Game 8" for later make-up games, which will be announced at a later date.
Alabama will return to action on Tuesday, March 3, at 6 p.m. when the Crimson Tide travels to face the Troy Trojans in Troy. The Tide will play in the Whataburger College Classic next weekend in Corpus Christi, Texas.

The idea of rescoring classic cinema is becoming increasingly common but I missed this. In 2008 Pixies main man Black Francis rescored the 1920s German expressionist classic The Golem: How He Came Into The World. Now there's a gorgeous new book documenting the process, with music and image from the performance and the rescored film. It's a gorgeous book, but it's $90.
On his YouTube channel though the result is there in segments including some fascinating process and behind the scenes footage. Well worth a peruse.

Hi all,Our team is working with a client on their checkout redesign
and have been utilizing the single page, accordion interaction model.
Our rationale being that
also proven to perform faster based on studies by Luke Wroblewski
(thanks Luke!): http://www.alistapart.com/articles/testing-accordion-forms/
We've spoken to our client about all of the above and have
encouraged that we conduct testing of our own. However, they are pushing
for more second party research and studies. Is anyone aware of other
studies or research they could share about the effectiveness of
accordions for checkout forms?
Any help is much appreciated.ThanksSunny MedwedSenior Experience Architect
Critical Mass
Hi Sunny,
Accordion forms have the potential to be really effective because, you have the potential designing a "clean" interface - you can combine it with a one-page-check-out or a cascading check-ou process.
If you have one unique path with just a few payment methods an accordion checkout form within just one page might be a good thing. But if you have various options and a few integrated payment methods and a few non-integrated payment methods - with the regarding comlpex validations and verification process it might be better to split the checkout in 2 to 4 steps.
My experience with check-out-processes is this - there isn't one clear way to the holy grail - it depends on your products, your client, client's validation processes, backend and payment processes and you should never the individual users and their expectations and experiences with check-outs in general and with your client and its line of business.
The Baymard Institute wrote a good E-Commerce Checkout Usability study - http://baymard.com/checkout-usability
Do beware that accordians can be problematic for accessibility, mobile devices and older users. LW's study (mentioned earlier) concluded that the accordian form was a little quicker for his somewhat young and experienced test subjects. He mentions WAI-ARIA as a means of addressing accessibility, but that is a long way off for most browsers and assistive technology, although support is building.

I had to double-check the date of Luke's article on accordian forms, because recently he's been focusing on designing for mobile first. The article doesn't mention mobile at all! And it's pretty cautious in recommending accordians:
"Our quick test seems to indicate that accordion forms may have an interesting future online."
So, as usual, don't accept any opinions or research conducted by other people without asking yourself the usual questions:
- did these researchers work with users who are the same as those in my target group?
- did these researchers ask users to perform tasks that are very similar to the one I'm trying to design?
- how big was the effect that they found? That is, did they discover that two or more methods are broadly comparable with just minor difference, in which case either might be OK, or did they discover really major differences?
And the bottom line: go back and fight for the testing! You're right, testing with your target audience and your particular design is the right thing to do.

Emergency Java Security Patch – Update Now!
Oracle released another Java fix to patch the vulnerabilities uncovered this week. In a Security Alert for CVE-2013-1493, the company advises all users to install the security patch as soon as possible considering the "severity of these vulnerabilities."
This particular update addresses a vulnerability known as CVE-2013-1493 (US-CERT VU#688246) and a security issue "affecting Java running in web browsers," affecting Java versions 1.5 Update 40, 1.6 Update 41 and 1.7 Update 15.
"These vulnerabilities may be remotely exploitable without authentication, i.e., they may be exploited over a network without the need for a username and password," the Oracle alert reads. "For an exploit to be successful, an unsuspecting user running an affected release in a browser must visit a malicious web page that leverages these vulnerabilities. Successful exploits can impact the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of the user's system."

Learn Bobbi Palmer's FLIRT System: 5 Must-Do's on Every First Date.
You know the story: You go out on a first date, have a great time, feel good chemistry, and discover you have so much in common. He tells you he likes you and wants to see you again. You get a little tingly…even breathless. You start fantasizing about your next date, or two, or three. You have a feeling you haven't had in ages: hope! Maybe it will happen for you, and maybe this is your last first date!
Then the phone doesn't ring. You wait. You start wondering and analyzing. You ask yourself, "What did I do wrong? Was I dreaming that we had great chemistry and that he liked me? Should I not have talked about my ex? Should I have let him kiss me?" You start going down the rabbit hole of whys and what ifs.
As a Dating and Relationship Coach for Women over 40, the number one question I get (and I get it EVERY day) is "Why Didn't He Call?" And that's always followed by "Should I call him?"
So, right here, right now, I am going to finally unravel the age-old mystery of "Why didn't he call?" Here it is: I don't know. Neither do you, and there's a good chance we'll never know. Therefore, my expert advice is to move on.
Maybe his dog died, or he started dating someone else, or he just changed his mind about wanting to see you again. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is he knows something you don't know: he's not right for you. You are not His One, for whatever reason.
So how do you stay out of the rabbit hole and deal with the woulda-coulda-shouldas? My FLIRT System is the answer. Use it on every date and, not only will it improve the quality of your dates and connections, but you'll never have to ask yourself those unanswerable questions again.
Here is my FLIRT System–your five must-do's on every first date:
F= Find out what is right about him. Start every date by finding at least three things you like about him. Did he show up on time? Was he nice to the waitress? Do you like his shoes? Focus first on his positive attributes, even (or especially) if you don't feel instant attraction. You never know what you'll realize if you pay attention to the positives rather than starting with what rules him out.
L= Let him know what you like. Men like to be complimented as much as women do, yet we rarely give them that gift. Tell him you like his sense of humor. Tell him you admire his great relationship his daughter. Or maybe that you respect how he's found a career that he loves so much. Let him know what you like. If you're interested, this is critical to getting your next date. If not, you're being kind. There's nothing wrong with that!

Wayne Kramer is a songwriter and one of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" according to Rolling Stone Magazine, and recently released "Lexington," his first album in 14 years.
"Lexington" features such jazz greats as:
Phil Ranelin- trombone
Dr. Charlie Moore- partner and collaborator
Tigran Hamasyan- piano
Buzzy Moore-tenor sax and oboe
Bob Hurst- upright bass
Eric Gardner-drums
Brock Avery-drums
Doug Lun- bass
- Chasing A Fire Engine
- Arc
- 13th Hour
- Burning Freeze
- The Wayne in Spain
- Elvin's Blues
- Taking the Cure
- Spectrum Suite
"Lexington" was released in a limited edition vinyl format on April 19, Record Store Day. The album will be released digitally on April 29.
When asked about the album title, Kramer stated:
"I had buried my penitentiary experience in my psyche, but after a few years of sobriety I started looking inward into how I became who I am and found that this was a turning point in my life where almost everything that I had experienced intersected— being a musician, politics, crime, ambition, art— and the effects were profound.
"Almost at the same time I was hired to score a film for PBS on the very institution I served my sentence in. So this brought everything to the surface and it occurred to me that this could be more than a film score.
"That this could actually be a musical narrative of the second half of my adult life."
Kramer was the leader of the MC5, widely recognized as the prototype for punk rock and heavy metal. The group had great commercial and critical success, but life came crashing down for the revered guitarist when he did time in at Lexington Federal Penitentiary in the late 1970s. While incarcerated, he was tutored by fellow inmate Red Rodney-- a trumpeter who played with the late jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker. It was Red who taught Kramer how to read music, and the two formed a prison band.
Upon release, the musician spent many years wondering, "Why did this happen to me?" During some of those years, he medicated his pain with drugs and alcohol, eventually realizing that these substances got in the way of answering the question that plagued him. Now, he has been sober for years, has a successful career scoring music for film and television, and is able to face some of the demons he encountered at a low point in his life-- namely his incarceration at Lexington Federal Penitentiary.
Kramer has often stated that "prison doesn't change anyone's life for the better," yet he acknowledges that he did go to prison at a time when correctional institutions cared more about rehabilitation. He mentioned that when he played music in prison, he felt liberated from the confines of his reality.
In 2009, Kramer co-founded Jail Guitar Doors USA with his wife, Margaret Saadi Kramer, and British singer-songwriter Billy Bragg. The organization provides musical instruments to inmates as a form of rehabilitation. To date, the organization has visited more than 40 prisons, and donated more then 400 guitars.

Using all cylindrical coordinates, pipe with z-axis vertically upward and radius of $r = G(z)$, flow is incompressible, inviscid and steady, Using appropriate boundary conditions I want to find the wall pressure.Flow is axis symmetric and irrotational, and of the form $(a(r,z), 0, c(r,z))$ in cylindrical coordinates.
The boundary conditions I have are the the fluid is stationary at the wall.
$a(G(z), z) = c(G(z), z) = 0, $
Using Bernoilli's equation for steady flow
$\frac{p}{\rho} + \frac{v^2}{2} + \Omega = G$
$\frac{p}{\rho} + \frac{c^2}{2} = G - \Omega$
$p_w = (G - \Omega - \frac{c^2}{2})\rho$
But I don't think this is correct for some reason.

Overall Experience
Nice place for an extended stay
June 07, 2016
Was only here overnight, but I get the feeling this place is frequented often by folks traveling on business. For those kinds of folks, the amenities offered are pretty nice. Suites have a very serviceable kitchen for preparing your own meals.
Internet access, however, is subpar. Seems to be par for the course for hotels in this category, so this isn't a slight against this particular facility so much as it's just an outdated standard. 1-2 Mbps internet is fine for checking email, but is subpar in today's rich content browsing world, and unacceptable for viewing any video content.
June 06, 2016
Clean friendly staff easy check in and out. Reasonable price , close to downtown and other shopping
Fit my needs
June 05, 2016
Clean and convenient. The room was quiet and comfortable and the location was easy to access.
Good Stay
June 02, 2016
I can't say enough about the wonderful front desk staff, not just one of them, but all of them! We had an issue with noise from construction going on next door. We were there over Memorial Day weekend and the manager went next door to inquire if the construction would be going on over the weekend. When the answer was yes, they moved us immediately.
Our only other issue was with a rude guest who used 4 of the 5 washers then left their clothes sit for hours without coming back to retrieve them and causing several other guests to be inconvenienced. None of this was the fault of the hotel staff, but they did tell me that only one washer should be used per room. A sign in the rooms and laundry room would be helpful.
We needed a place to stay with kitchen facilities and this suited our needs.

College Hockey:Idle St. Norbert Tops DIII Poll
MINNEAPOLIS — St. Norbert maintained first place in this week's USCHO.com Division III Men's Poll, despite not playing a game. The Green Knights await Wis.-Stevens Point in the NCHA semifinals on Friday. St. Norbert also stays No. 1 in the USCHO.com West Region Pairwise Rankings (PWR).
With a 3-2 overtime win over No. 4 Norwich, Middlebury finished soundly at No. 2 in the poll. However, the Panthers are No. 4 in the USCHO.com East Region PWR. Norwich received the No. 1 spot in the computer ranking, which simulates NCAA selection criteria, but ended up at No. 4 in the poll.
Three of the top five positions in the poll were filled with teams from the NCHA, as No. 3 Wis.-River Falls and No. 5 Wis.-Superior find themselves facing each other on Friday night in an NCHA semifinal game. Both schools had the week off.
Through a fluke of scheduling, many teams were off last week, and so play was spotty. Some big upsets include an 8-1 trouncing of No. 11 Colby by unranked Hamilton. Colby fell three spots as a result, despite a 5-0 victory of Amherst on Saturday. Also, No. 15 Bowdoin fell three places following a pair of ties, also against Amherst and Hamilton.
Postseason play begins in earnest next week, as the ECAC East, the MIAC, the NCHA, the NESCAC and the SUNYAC all have semifinal or quarterfinal games.
The USCHO.com Poll is compiled by U.S. College Hockey Online, and consists of 15 voters, including coaches and beat writers from across the country.
The East and West Region Pairwise Rankings attempt to mimic the process used by the NCAA Division III Selection Committee to determine participants for the men's hockey tournament. A team is only compared against Division III teams within that team's region.
The PWR can be reformatted and redistributed by any media outlet or person, provided USCHO's URL (http://www.uscho.com/) accompanies the results.

College Hockey:NCAA wants men's and women's rules enforced, not changed
Enforcing current college hockey rules, instead of rule changes, was the focus of the recent annual meeting of the men's and women's ice hockey rules committee.
According to NCAA.com, "in reviewing several key initiatives and data about the game, the committee determined that enforcement of the current rules is an area that needs improvement. The emphasis in the 2013-14 season will incorporate many pieces of past standards, but with a renewed focus in some areas that would be in similar alignment with the National Hockey League. In all cases, current rules support this renewed emphasis."
The committee will focus on protecting the puck carrier, holding and pinning along the boards, interference during faceoff plays and slashing as an illegal tactic to separate a player from the puck
"We looked at the game overall and really believe the standard of enforcement at all levels needs a renewed focus," said committee chair and Michigan State coach Tom Anastos in the report. "This is a perfect time to reset the standard a bit, since it does not require any rules changes."
One of the significant points the committee raised dealt with hitting from behind. Penalties on plays like this are getting called, but the fact of the matter is that these types of plays continue to happen. In addition, some of these violations are being penalized as a minor penalty for boarding or other penalty.
"Enforcement is part of the issue here, but improving this area has to be collaborative," Anastos said. "Coaches and players are reminded that the responsibility remains with the player approaching an opponent along the boards. Our rule is very clear."
The committee also believes officials have "become lax" with enforcing the limitations of player advancement during faceoffs.
The men's committee also continued to review the use of three-quarter face shields.

It's become a familiar refrain -- if Congress doesn't do what he wants, the president will act on his own. And he's not shy about it. During Saturday's weekly address, Barack Obama once again told Americans that he will act unilaterally, bypassing Congress if lawmakers do not legislate the way he wants.
"Republicans in Congress keep blocking or voting down almost every serious idea to strengthen the middle class," he said. "This year alone, they've said no to raising the minimum wage, no to fair pay, no to student loan reform, no to extending unemployment insurance."
But not to fear, as Obama has adopted a legislative approach of his own, The Blaze said: "My way or the highway." In short, the president is becoming something of a one-man government, doing what he pleases when he pleases.
"This obstruction keeps the system rigged for those at the top, and rigged against the middle class," the president said. "And as long as they insist on doing it, I'll keep taking actions on my own."
On Friday, the White House Twitter account gave a preview of Obama's statement, quoting the president in a tweet: "We can't afford to wait for Congress...and that's why I'm going ahead without them when I can."
The message was met with sharp criticism, with most reminding the president of something called the Constitution.
"I'm pretty sure this defeats the purpose of checks and balances," one person said.
"Which is, of course, unconstitutional, but, yeah whatever," another person added.
"'Constitutional scholar' unanimously knocked down twelve times by SCOTUS doesn't know how the Constitution works," tweeted "Shane Styles."
Recently, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, announced his intent to sue Obama over his executive actions, saying the president has overstepped his authority.
"The Constitution makes it clear that a president's job is to faithfully execute the laws; in my view, the president has not faithfully executed the laws," Boehner said. "And when there's conflicts like this between the legislative branch and the administrative branch it's, in my view, our responsibility to stand up for this institution in which we serve."
"If the current president can selectively enforce, change or create laws as he chooses with impunity, without the involvement of the legislative branch, his successors will be able to do the same," Boehner said in a memo issued Wednesday. "This shifts the balance of power decisively and dangerously in favor of the presidency, giving the president king-like authority at the expense of the American people and their elected legislators."
Predictably, the so-called "mainstream media" rushed to Obama's defense. Newsweek, for example, dismissed Boehner's concerns, using the excuse that Obama has issued fewer executive orders than other presidents, ignoring the nature of Obama's executive actions which do not always involve the use of executive orders.
Recently, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Obama's "recess" appointments to the NLRB were unconstitutional as they were not made while the Senate was in recess.
Even if Boehner is successful in his lawsuit, there is no reason to believe Obama will obey a court order. As we reported in 2011, the administration was found in contempt of court for refusing to obey an order lifting a moratorium on drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
In February, Judge Andrew Napolitano said Congress has only one clear Constitutional option -- impeachment. The only roadblock, he added, is the lack of courage exhibited by members of Congress. While the House has the power, and quite probably the votes, to impeach, a Senate ruled by Harry Reid and occupied by squishy Republicans will never vote to remove him from office.
Moreover, Judge Napolitano said, there is a "sort of a cult around him in the Democratic Party that he's 'our guy' and he can do whatever he wants."
Video of Obama's comments can be seen above.

The Runway: Makeup artist Pat McGrath spread lime green, fuchsia, and sky blue creams—one shade per model—on the lids, grounding the look with black liquid liner along the top lashes and lots of mascara. The lips, also bright, ranged from berry to orange-red.
The Real Way: With bright colors on the eyes and lips, this is a lot of look—but there's a way to do it without going overboard. Draw just the thinnest swipe of liner along the upper lashes. Make Up For Ever's new Aqua Liners come in a variety of shades. Or try using powder shadow to line the eye; it gives a softer effect than cream (we like Lancôme Design Eyeshadow in Best Dressed, a beautiful turquoise, or Yves Saint Laurent Ombre Solo Smoothing Eye Shadow in 16, a clear sky blue). Wear a stripe of turquoise with a fuchsia-berry lip shade, like Dior Addict Lipstick in Rose Shocking, or pair teal green with a coral-orange lipstick, like L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Lipstick in Volcanic.

Class is in session - EPMD has been in the rap game for over 12 years, yet have somehow managed to maintain the respect of both commercial & underground audiences throughout this time. The double limited edition LP Out Of Business with 14 new selections (along with a must-have collection of 13 classic Erick Sermon & Parrish Smith joints for all hip-hop rookies to study), still keeps them towards the front of the pack in the ever-growing MC field. Haters will maintain that they are light on the platinum plaques, but I'd bet my genitalia that Coolio would trade his double platinum crash-n-burn career for EPMD's longevity & respect. With Out Of Business, EPMD maintains their reputation & streak of making consistently banging albums.
The already released singles are the standout tracks on the album, whether its the stutter-step funk of "Right Now", the fast-paced "Check 1,2″, or sure-fire bangers "Symphony" & "Symphony 2000″ . Few will be able to front on either version of "The Symphony", whether you fiend for the M.O.P. realness (those that front please put your backpacks in the closet) or the bang-factor of Method Man & Redman on "…2000″. As for album cuts, the E. Sermon produced "Pioneers" & "The Fan" are some personal favorites. "Rap Is Still Outta Control" (f. Busta Rhymes) may leave you wishing for a revamping of the classic original track, and Erick Sermon's carefree crooning from song to song may prove annoying, but those are minor flaws that can be overlooked. Perhaps the only real dents are "Hold Me Down" (ay-yo!?!? - not a hook that I would run around chanting around the fellas) & another less-than exceptional Jane effort (" Jane 6″). As for the rhymes, neither Erick or Parrish are breaking any barriers when it comes to the mic skills these days, but the hooks are tight as usual and the production (mostly Sermon) is thumbs-up material. The only mic blaze I noticed in limited listens was Parrish boasting "As I dust bust, crush your rush, catch u flossin, turn your icebezee into slush". It sounds better than it reads, the hunt for an Erick Sermon one-line winner is ongoing.
Overall Out Of Business, is solid satisfaction all the way through, with only the occasional fast forward material; tight tracks to be enjoyed by both the Company Flow zealot & the DMX kennel member. How bout that! You've also got to respect the fact they didn't go out to make a str8 up commercial radio single, especially when isht like that is so predictable these days (see Ma$e and Soundscan). As a closing note: For all of you that were upset that EPMD is hanging up their mics after this album, you can hide your hankies. They are just retiring the Business titles (and hopefully the Jane series). Look for EPMD to continue to rep hard through 2000 & beyond.

Pets must be brought in from the cold, It will save their lives. Some animals thrive on a hearty dose of cold weather frolic, while other may suffer from even a few minutes of exposure. Bringing pets in from the cold, while extremely important, doesn't have to be serious work. It can be an opportunity for great enjoyment to the entire family.
Here is some advice from the Kentucky Humane society on protecting pets from the cold. An animal who is safe and warm, is a happy animal and will be ready to play. Spending time with a pet is its own reward, especially when they are showing their special brand of appreciation. Keeping pets warm and safe is extremely important, but so is loving them and bonding with them.
This list details a few enjoyable things to do with a pet in cold weather. The ideas range from energy expenditure and mental stimulation to keeping warm and cuddling. Sure cuddles are a part of it, but there is so much more enjoyment to be had.
Furry foot warmer
Cold weather is a good time to take advantage of a warm cuddly pet. Sitting on the couch and reading with a dog or cat curled up at the other end can be most enjoyable and comfortable.
Television Buddy
Some animals enjoy a good television show. Perhaps a wildlife program might catch their eye. Some pets might even join in what the see on the television, like cats jumping up to catch birds on the screen or dogs barking at others on the television.
Gamer pets
Pets love to be in the middle of everything. It can be quite amusing to watch an Pet track a cursor across the computer screen. Some companies have even created apps for the IPad and IPod that are specifically geared toward pets
Pet love
Simply paying attention to a pet can lead to a great deal of pleasure for all involved. In most cases pets will not hesitate to ask for the affection they need. Owners just need to listen.
New tricks
Being stuck inside during cold weather does not have to be an automatic sentence to boredom. Training a pet to do new tricks can be just as rewarding for the pet as it can be for the owner.
Extra warmth
Animals like to be warm as much as people do. Pets can provide their owners with some extra warmth and cuddling on those long cold nights. Sharing a bed with a beloved pooch or cuddly kitty can be quite pleasant,
Reap the rewards
Sending time with pets inside during cold weather is great for both pet an owner. It helps to build a bond between the two that is essential for a long happy relationship. There is nothing wrong with a good cuddle in any weather.

Women are one-and-a-half times more likely than men to have acute pancreatitis caused by gallstones. On the other hand, men are six times more likely than women to have acute pancreatitis caused by alcoholism.
Pancreatitis is the inflammation and autodigestion of the pancreas. Autodigestion describes a process whereby pancreatic enzymes destroy its own tissue leading to inflammation. The inflammation may be sudden (acute) or ongoing (chronic). Acute pancreatitis usually involves a single "attack," after which the pancreas returns to normal. Severe acute pancreatitis can be life threatening. In chronic pancreatitis, permanent damage occurs to the pancreas and its function, often leading to fibrosis (scarring).
The most common causes of pancreatitis include the following:
Other causes of pancreatitis include the following:
The following are the most common symptoms of pancreatitis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Severe abdominal pain in the upper abdomen is usually a symptom of acute pancreatitis. The symptoms of pancreatitis may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for pancreatitis may include the following:
Specific treatment for pancreatitis will be determined by your physician based on:
The overall goal for treatment of pancreatitis is to rest the pancreas and allow it to recover from the inflammation.
Treatment may include:
Individuals with chronic pancreatitis may also require:
Acute pancreatitis is self-limiting, meaning it usually resolves on its own over time. Up to 90 percent of individuals recover from acute pancreatitis without any complications. Chronic pancreatitis may also be self-limiting, but may resolve after several attacks and with a greater risk of developing long-term problems such as diabetes, chronic pain, diarrhea, ascites, biliary cirrhosis, bile duct obstruction, or pancreatic cancer.

In this phase you will create a new subdirectory within your personal public_html directory. You will open that new subdirectory for public viewing so that others can view the web pages you create for the course.
Next, you will create the basic foundation of a web page.
Throughout this assignment you will be using SSH (the acronym stands for Secure Shell). SSH is a program that encrypts data as it passes from one computer to another. It allows you to securely log onto the UH servers to manage your personal directory, create web pages, and transfer files. SSH is already available on most University of Hawai`i computers. If you wish to work at home, however, you will need to download and install SSH from the UH ITS website.
If you are working on a pc you can download a free version of SSH from the UH website: http://www.hawaii.edu/askus/778
For Mac users:
SSH is already present on your computer. When the instructions say to click on the SSH Secure Shell Client icon you should open your Macintosh HD and go to the Applications folder. Within the Applications folder open the Utilities folder. Within the Utilities folder you should see Terminal. Click on Terminal to open a terminal session.
A prompt should appear. This may take the form of a % sign. To the right of the prompt type ssh firstname.lastname@example.com. (Substitute your UH user id for "usernmame." My UH user id is donnab so I would type ssh email@example.com.) If the system asks you if you wish to proceed type yes. When prompted to do so type in your password. The instructions from then on should be the same as those for pc users.
First establish a connection to your ISP or use a computer with a permanent Internet connection.
Click on the icon marked SSH Secure Shell Client.
You should get a screen that looks something like this:
From the File menu select Connect.
For Host Name type: uhunix.hawaii.edu.
For User Name type in your UH user id, the same one you use to read your UH e-mail. (Mine is donnab).
Click on the Connect button.
The first time you log onto the UH server it may ask you if you wish to save the key. The answer is yes.
When requested to do so type in your UH password. Then press Enter.
When a % prompt appears you are connected to the system.
First, to see what files and directories are already present in your home directory type: ls -l.
You should already have a directory named public_html. If you do not have such a directory, use the command mkdir public_html to do so. (Be sure to include the underscore between public and html. Remember that UNIX cannot handle file or directory names with spaces in them.)
If you have not already done so for a previous course open up your public_html directory for public viewing by typing: chmod 755 public_html.
Now you need to move into your public_html directory. Do so by typing: cd public_html.
Check to see if you have successfully changed directories by typing: pwd. It should indicate that you are in your public_html directory.
Create an infocomm subdirectory by typing: mkdir infocomm.
Open this subdirectory for public viewing by typing: chmod 755 infocomm.
Check to see if you have successfully opened your new subdirectory for public viewing by typing ls -l.
On the left-hand side of the infocomm listing you should see the following
This means that 1) infocomm is a directory; 2) the owner of the directory (you) can read, write, or execute items in the directory, and 3) the public can read (view) files in the directory. This is an appropriate setting for your web files.
If the settings do not match the ones above, repeat the procedure.
Move into your new subdirectory by typing: cd infocomm.
Pico is a text editor. This means it is like a word processor but it only creates text files, files encoded in a universally-recognized system of coding called ASCII.
In the following steps the name Galadriel will be used as an example. You should substitute the name of the character you have selected. For example, if you have chosen Morwen then for galadriel_experiment.html you should type morwen_experiment.html instead. Note that I use all lower case letters in the file name even though galadriel is a proper name. UNIX is case sensitive. Using all lower case letters in file names makes life much easier.
Start the process by typing: pico galadriel_experiment.html. (Remember to substitute your character for galadriel.) Then press the Enter key. You should get a screen that looks like this.
The empty area in the middle is where you will type in the text and coding for your web page.
The most basic tags for your web page are the html tags. These identify your document as a HyperText Markup Language document.
Type in the following:
When you're working in Pico, your mouse can only be used to highlight text. It cannot be used to place the cursor on the screen. To move your cursor you must use your arrow keys.
Use your arrow keys to move the cursor between the two html tags. Type Aloha! between the two tags:
Now you need to exit and save the file. Do so by holding down the Control Key and hitting x (Ctrl + x). When the system asks you if you would like to save the file type y. The system should then present you with the name of your file, checking to see if that is how you want to save it. Simply hit the Enter key to accept the proferred name if it is correct.
When you see the % prompt open up the file for public viewing by typing: chmod 755 galadriel_experiment.html. (Remember to substitute the name of your character for galadriel.)
You should now be able to see your web page using your browser. Open up your
favorite browser. (I prefer Firefox.) Substituting your user id for mine (mine is
donnab, the preceding ~ indicates that this is a personal directory) and your
Tolkien character for galadriel, in the address box type:
A web file is divided into two main parts: the head and the body. These are delineated by using paired head and body tags. Material between the head tags will not appear in the main viewing window of the Web page. This area is used primarily for metadata about your page. Material between the two body tags will appear as the contents of your Web page.
Open up your file for editing. To do this at the % prompt type pico galadriel_experiment.html and hit the Enter key.
Use your down arrow key to move the cursor below the first html tag. Now add some extra line spaces using your Enter key to give yourself some room.
Below the first <html> tag enter a <head> tag. This is a paired tag so hit the Enter key a couple of times then enter the ending </head> tag. Remember to include the slash. Material between the head tags will not appear in the main viewing window of the Web page.
Now beneath the ending head tag enter the first <body> tag. Then move your cursor below the word Aloha! and add the ending </body> tag. Material between these two body tags will appear as the contents of your Web page.
When you look at this Web page notice that at the very top of the screen there is a colored bar bearing the words: "Getting a Web Page Indexed by an Internet Search Engine Phase One." This is the title of the web page. To add a title we use our title tags. These must be placed between the head tags.
Use your arrow key to move your cursor up between the two head tags. Enter a <title> tag. Leave an intervening line space, then add the ending </title> tag. Again, remember to include a slash.
Now you are ready to add your title. Use your arrow key to move the cursor between the two title tags. Type your title: "Galadriel's LIS 694 Experiment Page" (substitute the name of your character for Galadriel. Do not bother about any diacritical marks like accents.)
You can save your file without exiting it. Hold down the Control key and press the letter o (Ctrl + o). Then hit Enter. The system should then present you with the name of your file, checking to see if that is how you want to save it. Simply hit the Enter key to accept the proferred name if it is correct.
Now it is time to view your file again. Return to your browser. In order to see the changes you have made you must refresh (reload) the web page. If you are using Firefox open the View menu. Select Reload. (Or you can click on the little circular arrow.) If you are using Internet Explorer open the View menu. Select Refresh. Your title should appear in the colored band at the top of your screen.
Now it is time to add a header. Headers come in various sizes. The largest header is h1. The next largest is h2, and so forth. Header tags are paired. To avoid the problem of a missing end tag, it is best to type both beginning and ending tags, then add the material that goes between them. In this exercise we will use level 2 headers.
Use your arrow keys to place your cursor within the body tags, above your "Aloha!." Add your header tags: <h2> </h2>
Again save your file by holding down the Control key and pressing the letter o (Ctrl + o). Then hit Enter.
View your file again. Return to your browser. Remember that in order to see the changes you have made you must refresh (reload) the web page. Your header should be clearly visible. Your page should now look something like this:
This is the last step in constructing your web page for this phase.
Paragraph tags (now paired, although they were not paired previously) are used to format text with lines spaces between paragraphs. We will add two sets. The first set will surround the Aloha! you already typed. The second will be used to format a description of our indexing experiment.
Place beginning and ending paragraph tags before and after your Aloha! line as seen below.
Now let's add another pair of paragraph tags and some text describing our experiment:
Save your file. Refresh your browser. Your web page should look now like this:
This web page is part of an experiment being undertaken by the students in the LIS 694 course entitled "Seminar on Information Communication Policy Issues." In this experiment students will create similar web pages that link to the pages created by other students. Each web page will include metadata in the form of Dublin Core meta tags. Effects on indexing by search engines will be observed.
If everything looks okay, close the file by holding down the Control key and hitting x (Ctrl + x). If the system asks you if you would like to save any changes made (the system will only do this if you have made changes since your last save), be sure to say yes (y).
At the % prompt log out of unix by typing logout and pressing the Enter key.
Send a message to our course listserv letting us know that your page is ready for viewing (and soon, linking). In the To: line you should type: email@example.com. Your message should include the URL for your page. Be sure to include the protocol at the beginning (http://). Your URL should look something like http://www2.hawaii.edu/~donnab/infocomm/galadriel_experiment.html.
Once you have sent your message, you have completed Phase One of the experiment!

There are only three episodes left of "Teen Wolf" season 3, and as the extended promo of episode 22, "De-Void," MTV released Friday, March 7, teases, "Heroes will die."
In this next "Teen Wolf," Scott and Lydia work together to try to gain the upper hand, while Stilinski faces a review board. We've already seen a short promo and sneak peek teasing what comes next in Derek's loft following the end of "The Fox and the Wolf" (strife), Derek pouring gasoline on Argent, Isaac being creepy in Allison's room and Melissa's "This isn't you" to Stiles, to which he replies, "It is now."
Now, we have this new extended "De-Void" promo, and the way it begins doesn't bode well for Stiles if they find a way to get the nogitsune out of him without it resulting in his death. "What have you done?" Kira's mother asks after the nogitsune stabs Stiles.
It looks like that Scott and Allison kiss in the short promo is likely not real, as in this new preview, Scott says, "This is a trick," and Allison screams "no!" But is Allison's "Shh, it's okay, don't worry," to Scott in the midseason trailer part of that scene as well?
Then there's the question of what's going on with Isaac, especially in this preview. Is that Isaac or part of the nogitsune's tricks? If it is Isaac, he looks pretty good for someone who was severely burned and whose status was unknown last we heard, but what's he doing? If it isn't, what is going on with Isaac? Is he healing at all?
Also, check out more of what's going to happen at Derek's loft, including pain for Derek at the nogitsune's hand, trouble for one of the twins and more.
Finally, at the very end of the preview there's a quick glimpse of Stiles and the nogitsune sitting down for a game of Go in the room Stiles, Scott and Allison were in when they performed that ritual to save their parents. Are Scott and Lydia the ones in the background? Is everything that they go through in this episode a trick to keep them from finding Stiles there?
"Teen Wolf" season 3 airs Mondays at 10 p.m. on MTV. What do you think of this episode 22 "De-Void" promo? Head to the comments with who you think will die this season.

When we caught up with Jordana Brewster, fresh on the heels of filming season three of Dallas and getting ready to shoot The Fast & The Furious 7, she was as grounded as we'd heard (no makeup! in public!). Not that she doesn't work for it, "I'm very passionate about constantly working on myself, whether it be through therapy, meditation or self help books." The mother of eight-month-old Julian – who grew up in Panama City, Brazil and NYC and now lives in Santa Monica – has an adorable practice with her two best friends: "We email each other a gratitude list at the end of the day. Every day. Shifting your perspective is so important!"
Toys Schmoys
Take things you already have around the house — a rock, pine cone, paper towel tube — and put them in a bowl or basket for your baby to play with. They love the different textures and once they tire of one, they move on to the next. You don't even need traditional toys. Next up is edible paint, but he's not old enough yet. I love The Imagination Tree website for this kind of thing!
Clothes Make The Baby
I'm obsessed with Petit Bateau and Nununu baby clothes, especially Nununu's pants. Some days Julian's style is very hipster/skater, and others I dress him like Prince George: a little gentleman.
Be Present
There's no such thing as multitasking as a mom – if you're answering emails, you aren't giving the baby the attention he needs. I'm trying to be more mindful and setting aside time to devote myself to work so I can give him my full attention when I am with him. It's a work in progress. I meditate twice a day to resist the urge!
Lifesaving Baby Products
For the first 6 months, the Nuna Leaf saved me. I loved that it's not motorized, Julian found it so soothing and I had my hands free for a short while. Now he wants to be held at all times, but it was great while it lasted. Also the Baby Shusher is a genius invention. At first it felt really lazy, but all that shushing is exhausting! There's also an app, which I used after I dropped and broke the actual shusher. Oh, and buy the NoseFrida. It's so convenient and surprisingly addictive.
Skip It
Diaper bags are overrated. I just throw a Bambo diaper, Naty wipes, one toy and a sippy cup in my purse.
Insider Tricks
Find a pediatrician that answers emails or texts. It gives me so much peace of mind to be able to get timely answers without having to take the baby to the doctor. Also, I constantly start email chains with my mom friends about any question I have and they always ease my worries and have good advice.
I thought I would be this zen earth mama, but I am more paranoid about things than I used to be. People say that once you become a mom you'll know exactly what to do, but that isn't necessarily true. I find myself more anxious than before.
A Bag of Tricks
I was shooting Dallas in Texas and traveled back and forth 10 times with Julian. The trick is to give a bottle on the way up and down and to have a bag of tricks. You're basically an entertainer for the whole plane ride, so pull one toy out at a time and let him play with it until he gets bored. You have to switch up what's in the bag every trip too.
Hey, Jules
My husband and I had differing opinions on names but out of the blue one day, he said I love the name Jules. And I loved it too. And there we had it.
One day, Julian ate a leaf and then puked it up shortly thereafter. That's when I realized I have to have my eyes on him at all times.
