Oregon City Schools Superintendent Dr. Michael Zalar said there is a funding crisis in the public school system.
"School funding is a state-wide problem. It's in a crisis situation. We've been in this crisis for 20 years now. And nothing seems to be getting done about it," said Zalar, who spoke at a town hall meeting on April 20 at Starr Elementary School. The meeting was sponsored by Matt Szollosi, state representative from the 49th House District in Ohio.
"School funding is supposed to be a shared partnership," said Zalar. "The system was set up that way from the get-go. The state and local communities are supposed to work together to produce the funds and revenues to provide free and high quality schools for public education."
The Ottawa County Sheriff's Department is focusing its investigation on why Alan Atwater killed his family and himself, authorities said.
A report by Dr. Jerome McTague issued Tuesday said all five members of the family died of single gunshot wounds to the head, which was consistent with evidence found at the scene.
Other than traffic violations, Alan Atwater, 31, had no criminal record and that even the traffic citations were not drug or alcohol related.
Health Dept. warns of fraudulent inspectors
The callers claim to be health inspectors and law enforcement officials believe it may be an attempt to extort money from the businesses as well as allowing the scammers a chance to establish fake identities on websites to fraudulently sell goods and services online.
The Oregon City Schools district will lose millions in the next two years, according to Oregon City Schools Treasurer Jane Fruth, who provided financial information at a town hall meeting at Starr Elementary School on April 20.
The figures she provided were from the Office of Management and Budget that were incorporated into the Oregon City Schools District.
"This is the best we have right now. Obviously, these will change. We hope they will change for the better," said Fruth.
Plans for additional spending cuts have been put in place if an emergency levy on the May 3 ballot in the Woodmore School District should fail.
The Woodmore school board last week approved the list of cuts, which includes eliminating busing for student field trips, eliminating up to four teaching positions at the high school, and aligning the elementary school so that there are a maximum of three classrooms per grade level, said John Fernbaugh, district superintendent.
Establishing the three-classroom maximum at the elementary school would result in "significantly" larger class sizes, he said.

Kathleen Delano handed in her chef's hat a year ago to become a personal chef.
"I just thought the freedom to be flexible and go where I want to go, I just thought it would be fun," Delano, of Kathleen's Cuisines, tells Ivanhoe.
Today, she's working on a picnic with a salmon club sandwich. "I like it because it's easy, very tasty, lots of flavors," she says.
Delano starts the sandwich by marinating two salmon filets in olive oil, dill, lemon juice and her special blend of herbs.
She says, "I'm using an instant marinator, which makes it very quick too, so you don't have to plan too far ahead for this." In fact, a minute is equal to an hour of regular marinating.
After five minutes, Delano is ready to cook the filets. Three to four minutes on each side does the trick.
Next, grill your bread on either an indoor or outdoor grill.
Assemble the sandwich ahead of time or on site. Delano says, "This is a spicy tartar sauce that I make, it's got a little jalapeno, it's got capers, tarragon, it's got my spicy mustard." Pile on the bacon, grilled onions, tomato and lettuce. Top it off with wine and a summer berry tart and you've got a romantic picnic for two.

Fujitsu F905i approved by FCC
Few weeks ago we told abut the first phone made for Japanese market to officially go on sale outside the land of the rising sun.
It was Fujitsu F905i handset, with impressive 3.2″ display for video and a fingerprint sensor, to be introduced by Taiwan's Far East One Telecom.
Well, it looks like the preparation for the launch process of Fujitsu F905i in Taiwan is proceeding nicely. F905i version for Far East one Telecom has been approved by FCC recently and we can bring you a few live pictures of the device:
Now, don't get your hopes to see Fujitsu F905i for sale in U.S too high. The approval process only means the owners of F905i are allowed to use the phone here.
Still, I always watched some exclusively Japanese models with envy, and it is nice to see that at least some of them are making it out.

Hi Guys,
I am new to DB2 though i have installed DB2 V9.5 on Linux now want to apply S.Packs on the SAP System but i have some queries before applying the support packs.
1. How to switch off the archive log mode in DB2.
2. what are the files needs to backed up before doing any changes in Database i.e spfile / pfile in Oracle.
3. which are the parameters need to be checked for Log Management in DB2.
4. If any doc available on above mentioned points ?
Hi Jai,
1. Please don't
2. A full database backup contains everything you need to restore, if you want to backup the physical files(i.e. binaries etc) you can find the installation path using the db2ls command
3. Just do a "db2 get db cfg for db <SID>|grep LOG", there's only a few but they depend on what backup solution you're using
4. SAP has a good Admin Guide, but I usually prefer the IBM docs. Google "IBM SAP DB2 Redbook" and you'll find quite a few different Redbooks on the subject.

The Sport Pilot certificate was created in September 2004 after years of work by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). The intent of the new license was to lower the barriers of entry into aviation and make flying more affordable and accessible to aviation enthusiasts. New Mexico Flight Schools recommends this course as a great place to start your training and is the fastest way to fly solo in your own aircraft in New Mexico.
Before a trainee can start the solo phase of flight training, a Student Sport Pilot Certificate must be issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). These may be obtained from an FAA Flight Standards District Office or FAA Designated Pilot Examiner. New Mexico Flight Schools will make sure that the flight school you train with gives you all of the appropriate information to make this fast, easy and affordable. The flying lesson experts at New Mexico Flight Schools are standing by to get you started today!
Just like private pilots who are certificated to fly standard category aircraft (airplanes), the sport pilot has to go through a "final exam" or what is known in the aviation world as a "checkride" to finally obtain their license to fly with a passenger on board their aircraft and operate as pilot in command or PIC. This is done after the sport pilot candidate finishes all of their required aeronautical experience, including required training, and receives a passing sport pilot knowledge test report.
Time in light-sport aircraft can be used towards the experience requirement of other ratings on higher certificate types which makes the Sport License such a great place to start.

Want to glamp in a giant dumpling? Today's your lucky day, because the Lotus Belle tent ($1,650) looks exactly like one. These spacious tents are weatherproof and portable (though probably too heavy for backcountry camping) and stand over ten feet tall for those of you who hate the part of camping where you have to sit or lie down to get dressed. You'll probably get a few eyerolls if you drag this thing along to a public campsite, but who cares? You'll be living the high life.

163comments Bioware Rebooting Ultima Franchise
Posted Fri 13th Jul 2012 9:35pm by Kelly Miller
As if the entertainment industry is not already filled to the brim with reboots and remakes of popular franchises; Bioware Mythic is adding yet another with their take on the critically acclaimed Ultima series of role-playing games. Unless you count the free-to-play civilization builder Lord of Ultima, a proper entry hasn't been released in years. Will this game be enough to draw in fans new and old to a series that arguably brought the role-playing game genre to its creative peak?
One thing is sure; it won't cost anything for anyone to give it a try. Ultima Forever is being launched as a free-to-play title that Bioware says won't cost you a dime. They also promise that, unlike other popular free-to-play titles, they are trying to eliminate that glass ceiling effect that prevents players from enjoying themselves unless they spend some cash. What players will be able to purchase are, supposedly, vanity and convenience items that will not affect the overall balance of the game.
Ultima IV is said to be the company's main inspiration for Ultima Forever and that they will be taking many of that entry's core concepts while experimenting with their own. Paul Barnatt, the creative director behind Ultima Forever, described it as being of a similar fashion to what Christopher Nolan did with his Batman series; keep the themes, but play with the rest.
Ultima IV was rated as the #2 best PC game of all time by Computer Gaming World in 1996 and hailed as a major turning point for the franchise as it abandoned its hack and slash roots for something deeper and more story-driven.
He also described the gameplay as a four player cooperative experience with gameplay in the vein of the Diablo series without all the pesky hot-bars. The flow of combat will depend on player location on the battlefield and their equipment. Doing combat in this way will hopefully eliminate repetitive clicking and instead encourage a more Tactical approach to combat.
The game will release with only two Classes, the Fighter and the Mage, with more to be added shortly thereafter. Players will adventure across the land if Britannica searching for the eight 'virtues' that will allow them to become the 'Avatar.' Just in case some of you more hardcore Ultima Fans want to know Richard Garriot, the creator of the Ultima Franchise, is not involved in this project in any way.
Ultima Forever is set to be released on the Ipad and PC later this year. If you wish you can sign up to take part in the beta on the official Website.

Exactly. The following training should be mandatory for all teachers.Quote:
We dont hear of mass deaths of children in school fires these days: fire drills have long since been commonplace, led by trained school staff, not to mention sprinkler systems and smoke alarms and strategically placed fire extinguishers that can nip a blaze in the bud while firefighters are en route.

GRAND JUNCTION – Junior Tesho Akindele recorded his sixth game-winner and the Colorado School of Mines men's soccer team made sure the score held as the Orediggers escaped Friday evening's clash against Colorado Mesa at Walker Field with a 1-0 decision.
Akindele further etched his name in the Mines record book as his conference-leading 15th goal just 2:48 into the match brought his career total to 50, equaling Rob Zimmerman's career mark set back in 1982 to 1985. The All-American and reigning RMAC Player of the Year worked his way through the Maverick defense and notched his third score in the last two games with an unassisted shot to the far side post.
The quick strike marked the second straight outing Mines got on the board within the opening three minutes of the game, and the Oredigger defense was more than up to the challenge of preserving the advantage, limiting CMU to just four shots and two shots on goals for the night.
With the decision, Mines improved to 8-3-2 and 5-2-2 in the conference, two points behind UC-Colorado Springs in second, while the Mavericks fell for just the second time in eight games and dropped to third in the RMAC at 6-3-0 and 8-4-1 overall.
The men return to CSM Soccer Stadium this Sunday for a 2:30 p.m. start with Adams State (1-9-0, 1-7-0 RMAC) in the lone meeting of the regular season between the two squads.

The Loft is a local nonprofit cinema dedicated to creating community through film, honoring the vision of filmmakers, celebrating ideas and promoting the appreciation and understanding of the art of film.
The Loft Cinema has been a mission-driven, membership-supported nonprofit arts organization since November 2002, serving the greater Tucson area and all of Southern Arizona.
Without The Loft, audiences in Southern Arizona would not have access to the many films and visiting filmmakers who have enriched Tucson's cultural identity. The Loft's signature events are screenings with filmmaker Q&As, with more than 450 film industry professionals and scholars visiting the theatre to date. The Loft screens new independent American and foreign films and documentaries, along with classic art films, interactive events including a monthly short film contest, sing-a-longs and cult favorites. Every year The Loft has dozens of community partners working to create community and raise awareness of a myriad of issues.
The Loft hosts an annual international film festival in November and a free children's film festival every July.
The Loft is a member-supported cinema, with more than 3000 memberships representing more than 5000 individuals. Since 2002, attendance at The Loft has more than tripled, with more than 150,000 people coming to films at the cinema in 2011.

Tucson is one of the smaller communities among the list of cities with independent, nonprofit, mission-driven art houses like The Loft. While we are a member of the Sundance Art House Project and we meet annually with our colleagues from similar cinemas, we, like all the other theatres, are unique. Independent art houses reflect their own communities, and The Loft is uniquely programmed to meet the needs of the many communities-of-interest that we serve.
The Loft is one of 8 cinemas in the US to receive a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Coolidge Corner Theatre Foundation for Science on Screen, a series of films introduced by scientists.

To celebrate the anniversary of the release of Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition, the developer is offering a new skin pack DLC that is free for all to download for the following week only as detailed by the official website for Xbox Live Arcade on May 8.
The Second Birthday Skin Pack will offer players access to several new avatar skins that are based upon characters from various popular Microsoft franchises. The free DLC allows fans to change their in-game Minecraft avatars into characters from gaming series such as Halo, Fable, Viva Pinata, and Banjo. However, the free celebration pack will only be available for a limited time.
Additionally, the first birthday pack is also being re-released during this time. This gives players who missed last year's exclusive anniversary DLC another opportunity to pick up the first free birthday add-on. While this year's free DLC adds avatars inspired by various Microsoft games, last year's pack provided fans with new skins based upon different Minecraft monsters such as zombies, wolves, and even the Ender Dragon. Both are now available to download for free from now until May 18.
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition launched as a digital-only download via Xbox Live Arcade exactly two years ago today. The game later received a retail disc release in the summer of last year, allowing gamers to purchase a physical version of the game for the first time. Moving forwared, 4J Studios is currently developing future editions of Minecraft for the new generation of consoles. The game is expected to launch on both the Xbox One and PS4 later this year. It has been confirmed that fans will be able to transfer their existing save files across the same family of consoles.

We'd say this Illustrated People Sweater ($40) is more of a sweatshirt, but tomato, tomahto... The retro girl dons of-the-moment spooky clown face paint, and has the spunk to pull it off like a pro. Somehow she still looks beautiful under that spooky disguise, perfectly coy-meets-seductive. We love that the vintage curls complement the swirly face paint, too. So if we don't want to dress up for Halloween, we can just embody this cool chick and call it a day in snuggly style.

The Ups & Downs Of Downsizing
Think of all the employees that might lose their jobs, or risk being tossed around like hot potatoes. "Oh no, nothing can happen to me. I'm working for Microsoft for crying out loud." "Think again" says the wise man, because no one is ever completely immune to such an outcome. Always keep in mind that no one is indispensable.
Those who think they are invincible are people who thought that they would never have to find another job and leave this $366 billion market capital company for a small-time production line affair. But as history repeats itself, this can happen to the best of us.
A recent example is GM, who has laid off about 20% of its Wilmington, Delaware assembly plant due to poor sales of a recent new model. The employees who live in Delaware will receive 95% of their pay for the next 6 months before being put in a GM job pool to become eligible to work in other GM facilities.
The company Boeing has cut down its number of employees from 238,400 to 191,500 since February 1998, according to its company data. After spending the major part of the last two years restructuring and leaving its worst parts behind, Boeing still plans to cut 5,000 more jobs than intended during the year 2000.
ThirdAge Media recently laid off more than 30 employees in an attempt to increase focus on its web site to areas of interest for baby boomers. To name only a few others, Petstore.com, Iexchange.com, Corel, and Coke have all gone through the process of giving employees their pink slips.
This is yet another way for big corporations to throw us curve balls and rock the steady boat that we call life. As my column usually tries to get at, remember that being cautious of these possibilities, or lack thereof, can only prepare you for when they actually come about. Better safe than sorry!

Rayne Woman Charged with Medicaid Fraud
A Rayne woman has been arrested and charged with 10-counts of Medicaid fraud for filing false claims, announced Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell.
Ravin Roberts Guillory, 34, of 611 Bailey Street, surrendered to Medicaid Fraud Control Unit investigators on October 3 and was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on 10-counts of Medicaid fraud. Guillory, a personal care attendant, submitted timesheets stating that she provided caregiver services, such as cooking, cleaning, and bathing, to a Medicaid patient on the same dates and times the patient was receiving treatment at a Church Point hospital.
Personal care attendants are hired by Medicaid providers to care for physically handicapped Medicaid recipients. The personal care attendants keep service logs and records of hours worked with each client and submit the hours to the Medicaid provider for payment. In turn, the Medicaid provider submits the hours to the Medicaid program for payment of services rendered.
To report suspected Medicaid fraud, please contact the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit at 888-799-6885.

What makes a classic movie, classic? The question is a simple one asked by hundreds of people everyday. So what does make a movie live on for decades and be revered as a masterpiece? Story or character, some say you can't have one without the other. The answer, well there is no definitive answer. So let's explore.
First we will start with characters or more precisely a character's arch throughout the story. The Godfather is by many people's opinion to be the greatest film ever, but why? Michael Corleone is the answer. His character arch from a young war veteran to the leader of the family and a brutal leader at that is an amazing journey. Marlon Brando's performance is also amazing, but without Al Pacino's Michael the story is simply not there. What is even more amazing is you believe this arch. Every thing that happens in the story pushes him towards losing his soul and gaining control over the family. I have never seen a better movie that is so epic in story, but also pushes a singular character to the edge.
Another film that echoes this is L.A. Confidential, which is an epic, complicated film noir film, but this is not why most people enjoy this. Most people enjoy it for the three main characters. They all start out as bastards in there own way, they are written to be hated, but by the end of the film we love them. Kevin Spacey's "Jack Vincennes" lives to be a consultant on a 50's cop show. He's greedy and only cares about the limelight. But during the course of the film he finds his soul and redeems himself. Russell Crowe's "Bud White" is one violent son of a gun. He's not against bending the rules to get justice done, gain though by the end of the film he finds love and happiness, and most importantly we like him. Last but certainly not least in Guy Pearce's Ed Exley is a by the book cop, who is the most ambitious character. The by the book cop really gets under people's skin in the early going, but by the end he is the true protagonist of the story. Again we like him for his courage in taking on crooked cops.
Then there's story. Every good film needs a good plot. Roman Polanski's "Chinatown" is a truly amazing film and script. The story takes many twists and turns and is a true Film Noir down to the core. Of course the characters make the film as well. Jack Nicholson plays J.J. Gittes to a tee. John Huston is by far the creepiest villain ever to grace the screen for only 20 minutes. But the story and the ending in particular is what pulls this film above the rest.
Or what about Jaws, the best character is the shark, Quinn is a memorable character but the shark is what we remember. The shark is not so much a character but a force, the fact that we don't see him until the latter part of the film makes us fear the shark and keeps us on the edge of our seats. Steven Spielberg who directed this movie as a horror film is what keeps this movie head and shoulder above the rest. The technology of the large mechanical shark is frightening, and something we had not seen during that film period.
In part 2, of "What makes a classic movie, classic"? We will discuss the themes of movies and the time period in which the movie came out.

On Tuesday, April 8, Attorney General Eric Holder appeared before the House Committee on the Judiciary to express concerns about the long-term viability of virtual currencies such as Bitcoin.
In his address, Holder said, "Virtual currencies can pose challenges for law enforcement given the appeal they have among those seeking to conceal illegal activity. This potential must be closely considered. We are working with our financial regulatory partners to account for this emerging technology. Those who favor virtual currencies solely for their ability to help mask drug trafficking or other illicit conduct should think twice; the Department is committed to innovating alongside this new technology in order to ensure our investigations are not impeded by any improvement in criminals' ability to move funds anonymously. As virtual currency systems develop, it will be imperative to law enforcement interests that those systems comply with applicable anti-money laundering statutes and know-your-customer controls."
Bitcoin has become increasingly popular as an easy way to move money, but the collapse of Mt. Gox bitcoin exchange in February dealt a serious blow to the integrity of the currency. Further complicating matters are the wild fluctuations in bitcoin valuation, which has made bitcoin a popular commodity among day traders, yet may make it difficult to establish as a viable long-term currency.

SABnzbd can run a user-provided script to be executed when a job has completed without errors.
You can do whatever you like with such a script.
The script will receive the parameters described below. Use %1 in Windows scripts and $1 in Unix scripts.
Please note that in Windows the parameters will be enclosed in double quotes ("my name").
On Posix systems (OSX, Linux, Unix) the parameters will not have quotes at all.
|The final directory of the job (full path)
|The original name of the NZB file
|Clean version of the job name (no path info and ".nzb" removed)
|Indexer's report number (if supported)
|User-defined category
|Group that the NZB was posted in e.g. alt.binaries.x
|Status of post processing. 0 = OK, 1=failed verification, 2=failed unpack, 3=1+21, -1=failed download
|URL to be called when job failed (if provided by the server, it is always sent, so check parameter 7!) The URL is provided by some indexers as the X-DNZB-Failure header.2
All parameters are properly quoted so that they may contain embedded spaces.
The "return" code that your script itself returns should be 0 if all went well or non-zero if errors occurred. If the return code is something else than 0, SABnzbd's History will show that return code (also known as exit code) in green surrounded by "Exit(…)".
The console output of the script is captured by SABnzbd and is saved in the so called "Script Log": to see that log, in the History overview, click on the "More" after the green text on the right hand side .
The file will be added to the (optional) notification email and can be examined in the History page.
A post-processing script will only run when the job has completed without errors.
If you want to run the script always, you need to disable the option "Post-Process Only Verified Jobs".
A script can return an exit code. SABnzbd will show a non-zero code in the download report, but the job will not be flagged as failed.
Note: Release 0.8.0 has an option in Config->Switches to let a non-zero code mark the job as failed.
All scripts must be located in the script-directory, that can be specified in Config->Directories. Furthermore, the script must be executable. On Linux this means the x-bit must be on. On Windows, the requirement is that the script's extension is listed in your system's PATHEXT environment variable.
The scripts can be used in these contexts:
- Associated with a job entry on the Main page
- Changed for a job on the Queue page
- Associated with a user-defined category
- Associated with the empty-queue event on the Queue page
Example Python script
The get the parameters in python, you can do this:
import sys
(scriptname,directory,orgnzbname,jobname,reportnumber,category,group,postprocstatus,url) = sys.argv
# are we testing only?
directory = sys.argv[1]
print "No commandline parameters found"
# continue script

New To Board! Low and high reading question
Hi, I just started doing sugar readings at the request of my primary doctor. In the morning my levels are running about 80-91. I feel real shakey, nervous and like my thought process is not quite right. Once I eat I tend to get a spike in the reading, anywhere from 156-270, this will happen within the half hour, and then at times will drop just as fast back into the 80's. When the reading seems high I tend to get headaches but when it drop in the 80's I feel shakey, and like I will pass out if i dont eat, I feel all I am doing is eating to try to feel good. I feel completely bad almost all the time from these drastic changes in my blood sugar. When I stand I feel dizzy, I am hungry all the time, thirsty, have to urinate all the time, feel fatigued. I have an appointment set up with a Endo, but not until Oct. 4th. It is so strange one day my levels will remain high, the next day it will jump all around, and this is when I feel real bad. Any ideas?? Thank you so much for helping this newbie!!

Catholics like new Pope
October 5, 2013 - Andrea Johnson
The new Pope Francis seems to be stirring up some consternation among the most conservative Catholics, but a new poll shows that most Catholics agree with him.
According to a poll conducted by Quinnipiac University, 53 percent of the Catholics polled have a favorable view of the new pope and 36 percent have a very favorable view of him, reports the Religion News Service. Two in three Catholics who were polled agreed that the Catholic Church think that past leaders have been too focused on homosexuality, abortion and contraception. About 60 percent of the Catholics who were polled are in favor of gay marriage, with the remainder being against it, despite the Catholic Church's official opposition to gay marriage. The support for gay marriage was also strong among weekly churchgoers, to the tune of about 53 percent in favor to 40 percent opposed, so the support isn't only coming from so-called "Christmas and Easter" or "cafeteria Catholics" The Catholics surveyed also support allowing women to be priests by a margin of about 60 percent in favor to 30 percent against. As a Catholic, I share the views of the majority, so it is interesting to see that so many people agree.
From what I can tell, Pope Francis isn't in favor of gay marriage, birth control, female clergy, abortion or birth control any more than any of his predecessors, but he does seem to be in favor of shining the spotlight on other Church teachings more related to social justice for the poor. I think that's probably what Catholics are responding to after several years of a more traditionalist approach by the Church.
What do you think of the new approach being taken by the Catholic Church?

Vermont House advances pension forfeitureFebruary 16,2013
MONTPELIER — The Vermont House has advanced a proposal to block public employees convicted of certain crimes from collecting their full pensions.
The bill would allow a court to order the forfeiture of state or municipal employee or teacher pensions if a former employee is convicted of fraud or embezzlement.
Gov. Peter Shumlin made the proposal following revelations last year that a long-time Vermont State Police employee, Sgt. James Deeghan, had been padding his overtime reports.
Deeghan recently pleaded guilty and faces up to two years in prison and the repayment of more than $200,000 from his pension over six years.
Pensions typically are based on a person's last three years of income. The legislation would guard against pensions being paid out when that income was improperly inflated.MORE IN This Just In

Proto-Indo-European (PIE) phonemes included consonants, vowels, resonants, and laryngeals (see Lehmann's Proto-Indo-European Phonology and other manuals on Indo-European phonology). Click on phonemes in the tables below to access roots that exemplify their use, and then on roots to see attested words that support the reconstruction of the roots.
PIE consonant types included obstruents (stop consonants) and one fricative, /s/. Each sound is considered a phoneme here because, in roots, it appears in initial and/or final positions. In the table below, obstruents are transcribed using both traditional rendering (on the left side of '=') and "glottalic" rendering (on the right side).
|Voiceless (aspiration optional)
|P = P(h)
|T = T(h)
|K = K(h)
|Kw = Kw(h)
|Voiced ~ Voiceless glottalized
|Gw = K'w
|Voiced (aspirated)
|Bh = B(h)
|Dh = D(h)
|Gh = G(h)
|Gwh = Gw(h)
* In the table above, palatal and velar obstruents have been collapsed into a single column; distinctions between these types may be indicated elsewhere.
Two obstruent sets here are the traditionally reconstructed /p t k kw/, /b d g gw/, and /bh dh gh gwh/ vs. the "glottalic" /p(h) t(h) k(h) kw(h)/, /p' t' k' k'w/, and /b(h) d(h) g(h) gw(h)/. Equated pairs reflect two hypothetical views of Proto-Indo-European phonology: each system is based on the same attested forms, but has different implications for the way in which sounds may have changed in prehistory. Most handbooks reflect the traditional view. For more on the Glottalic Theory, see the section on phonology in Thomas V. Gamkrelidze & Vjaceslav V. Ivanov, Indo-European and the Indo-Europeans (1984 Russian original translated by Johanna Nichols; Berlin: de Gruyter, 1995, 2 vol's); a topical summary by Allan Bomhard appears in the Glottalic Theory section of our Reconstructing PIE Phonology page.
Consonants (C) and vowels (V) formed PIE roots of the shape CVC-. So, for example, the PIE root for 'foot' began with the consonant /p/ or glottalic /ph/, and ended with /d/ or glottalic /t'/. (Traditional *p corresponds to modern English /f/ and *d to modern English /t/; or, alternatively, glottalic *p(h) corresponds to modern English /f/ and glottalic *t' to modern English /t/.)
Vowels, as the nucleus of a root, might undergo vowel alternation (or ablaut). PIE was hypothesized to have one vowel, /e/, often alternating with [o] or lack of a vowel (a "zero vowel"). Such vowel alternation might vary the grammar, as it still does in English sing, sang, sung (with [in] of sing reflecting older [en]; [an] of sang, older [on]; and [un] of sung, older [n]).
Both obstruents and the fricative /S/ always behaved as consonants in the CVC- root; but resonants could behave as either consonants or vowels, depending on their environment in a syllable. Resonants could function as a syllable nucleus in the absence of a vowel. When vowel alternation varied the grammar of a word, as in English 'sing, sang, sung', the lack of a root vowel put the resonant in a vocalic position. (N.B. English sung reflects PIE *sn.-gwh as vocalic resonant *n. regularly becomes /un/ in Germanic; vocalic resonants are usually transcribed with a ring below to distinguish them from consonantal resonants, but here, '.' follows a vocalic resonant.)
|Vocalic or Consonantal
The resonsont (glide) *w in *wed- = *wet' 'wet, water' behaved as a consonant, but it too could have a vocalic counterpart. Not only did processes of vowel alternation ('wet, water') create new words but, as enlargements or suffixes created new word forms, a resonant might become a syllable nucleus. The root *wed-(r) = *wet'-(r) alternated with *ud-(r) = *ut'-(r) when the root vowel /e/ was reduced to zero; the resonant *w, as syllable nucleus, thus takes its vocalic form *u -- reflected in Greek (h)ud-or 'water', from which English borrowed hydrophobia 'water-fear'.
A theoretical class of sounds, laryngeals (H1, H2, H3), "colored" vowels on either side of them. The laryngeal H2, for example, colored an adjacent vowel /e/ with the value /a/. Similar to resonants, laryngeals also had consonantal or vocalic function depending on their position in a syllable.

The cause of the structure fire, at the Thousand Hills Pet Resort in rural San Luis Obispo November 19 was determined to be electrical.
The fire killed seven dogs. Authorities have narrowed down the cause of the fire to an electrical socket inside a kennel.
The fire, which burned unattended for at least an hour, destroyed three small dog kennels that were clustered about three-and-a-half feet apart. The seven dogs that died were housed in two of those three kennels.

The FCC on Friday approved AT&T Mobility's proposed $780 million purchase of Atlantic Tele-Network's retail wireless business, which still operates under the Alltel brand. However, the agency said the transaction "will likely cause some competitive and other public interest harms in several local markets" but that it is approving the deal due to AT&T's acceptance of a number of conditions on the transaction, including that AT&T maintain Alltel's CDMA network through June 2015.

On the campaign trail, Mitt Romney has been promising that he will cut taxes "across the board," while also instituting tax reform that will not add to the nation's deficit. But a new report from the Tax Policy Center at the Brookings Institution shows that this is much easier said than done.
In fact, if Romney were to actually implement his plan to reduce tax rates by 20 percent while eliminating tax deductions in order to pay for it, taxpayers with more than $200,000 would certainly see a tax cut. But everyone else — 95 percent of Americans — will see their taxes increase.
Do you make less than $250,000 a year? If so, Mitt Romney will raise your taxes.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) represents the most common motoneuron disorder in adulthood. It is characterized by selective degeneration of the motoneurons. About 10% of patients have a genetically determined ALS. Clinically, ALS is characterized by coexistence of signs of the first motoneuron, such as spasticity and hyperreflexia, as well as the second motoneuron, such as muscular atrophy and fasciculations. If such signs are present in at least three regions and if other possible causes have been excluded, a definite diagnosis of ALS can be made based on the revised El-Escorial criteria. Initial manifestations are often focalized and generalization develops during the course. The glutamate antagonist riluzole is worldwide the only approved ALS treatment. However, symptomatic treatments to ameliorate spasticity, drooling, speech and swallowing problems, and assisted ventilation to treat respiratory failure are essential.

Didn't feel like a new start today
Monday, April 01, 2013
Today has been a huge struggle, probably because it just started out with me being in a weird/sad/stressed/disconnecte
d (complicated) mood.
On the bright side, I had a great weekend. My two close friends and I went up to the mountains and did a one-night backpacking trip, with the possibility of having to camp in the snow, which is something I've never done before. Fortunately one friend had gone snow camping when he was young, and also did more of it in the military, so he helped my other friend and I to be prepared with the right gear and so forth; he also carried a lot of the team gear since he had the lightest and most compact camping gear.
We camped where snow held, in large patches, but were able to find places that were clear of snow to put our tents. It was a primitive campsite also - no running water (another first for me). We melted and boiled snow for our water. I got to try some snowshoeing, and we built a snow bunny!
It's trips like this that remind me that I know things can be normal. I felt totally present, happy, and relaxed. No food or emotional eating issues whatsoever. Actually food was a new experience too - we brought those dehydrated food bags for warm meals, and my other friend brought some of those MREs that she had lying around. That was the first time I'd ever tried those. They weren't even bad! One thing I enjoyed, which I only really noticed later, was being reminded of how it feels to actually be hungry, and then feel happy and satisfied when you're full. It always feels so freeing whenever food is not associated with emotions for me...completely intuitive eating. I have no idea how much I ate, really, but I was not concerned about it at all, because I ate when I was physically hungry (we also all brought a bunch of trail mix and such for snacks) until I was full and that was it.
I'm really happy I got trekking poles. I've never used them before as I've always been confident about my balance and the strength of my legs, but with my knee/hip issues this time, along with the weight of a 40lb pack, it really helped to distribute some of that weight into my arms. There were a few times where I stepped into waist-deep snow and kind of toppled over with the pack and the poles did nothing to help, but most of the time they seemed a good aid! I had a lot of fun that weekend. It was good to be out with the team again.

I'm glad that the weekend worked so well for you and your friends!
Can you post pics or reminders near your regular 'spaces' to remind you how well you and your appetite worked together this weekend? Just a way to positively reinforce your good habits?

I need some help,
My daughter seem not to like my cooking and seasoning. This is how I think this. She currently goes to daycare where she is fed breakfast and lunch plus snacks. She has been there for almost a year.
Before she was there I had no problem with her eating, but for about 5=6 months she has been slwoly not wanting anything to eat but milk, yogurt, strung cheese, oranges and other little things. Currently she only eats my food on the weekends. I cook the usual Ive always cooked which she ate before daycare.
I don't know what to do. I have tried everything form briving her to give her something she loves such as ice cream or soda if she eats to force feeding her. Now it got to the point where she sees her plate coming and she runs.
HELP PLEASE, very worried!!!!

SEATTLE – The Husky track team opened up their still-feels-new purple track for the first time this outdoor season, and just the third time ever, for the Washington Open today. It was a very productive day overall for the Dawgs, with some major progress coming from all event areas.
The throwers had a particularly strong day, with several personal-bests thrown out onto the grass infield. Sophomore shot putter Alyx Toeaina surpassed the 45-foot mark for the first time, going 45-1 ½ to take second overall to freshman teammate Gina Flint, who competed unattached but tossed a best of 46-8 ¼ on her sixth attempt.
Jack Scheideman and Brian Hutchison also had strong throws in the men's shot. Scheideman was second overall with a PR of 53-4 ¼, and Hutchison was just behind him with a best of 53-2 ¾ on his last throw. In the discus, freshman Dan Boyden had a PR by 12-feet, throwing 165-0 to finish second, and Hutchison also tossed 156-3. Sophomore Carolyn Gravelle earned her way into the women's hammer top-10 list with a PR of 156-11.
The Stueckle sisters had matching victories in the 100-meter and 400-meter hurdles to lead a nice day for the Husky sprinters. Kimberly Stueckle dropped her PR to 13.87 seconds in the 100-meter hurdles, now sitting seventh by herself on the school's top-10 list. Kayla Stueckle went under 60-seconds again in the 400m hurdles, clocking 59.85 to win by nearly two seconds. In that same heat, sophomore Krista Armstead hurdled for the first time, running a nice debut time of 1:01.79.
Sophomore Travis Marshall had a couple personal-bests in the short sprints to jumpstart his season. Marshall was second overall in the 100-meters, going 10.59 with a legal tailwind of 1.9; he followed that up with a career-best 21.70 in the 200-meters. Freshman Andrew Brown also had a day to build on with season-bests of 21.84 in the 200-meters and 48.08 in the 400-meters where he took second overall. Kaid Tipton added a win in the men's 400m hurdles in 54.12, a PR by a few hundredths.
The distance Dawgs got a lot of work in today, with most athletes in action dropping down a distance or two for some speed work. Izaic Yorks was a winner at 800-meters in 1:50.56. Freshman Sumner Goodwin led four Huskies under 3:55.00 in the 1,500-meters, as he ran 3:53.55. Eleanor Fulton had a season-best 2:10.25 in the women's 800-meters, and Erin Johnson posted a solid 2:12.34.
After a couple weeks off, the Husky pole vaulters were back in action today, and indoor All-Americans Diamara Planell Cruz and Jax Thoirs had wins despite breezy conditions. Planell Cruz went 13-1 ¾, as did Kristina Owsinski, with Ashley Schnapp and Elizabeth Quick both clearing 12-6 as well. Thoirs was clean over 16-9 ¼ before going out at 17-3. J.J. Juilfs also cleared 16-5 ¼, as did former Husky and NCAA Champ Scott Roth, who stepped away from the vault after taking third at the 2012 Olympic Trials, but was back in action this afternoon.
Next up for the track team is a pair of trips down the coast next weekend, with some athletes heading for the Oregon Relays and another group going to the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, California. The next home meet for the Dawgs will be the Ken Shannon Invite on May 10.

The Empire State Building is an iconic skyscraper located in New York City. Built between 1929 and 1931, the Empire State Building was the tallest building in the world from 1931 to 1970. The Empire State Building is located on the famed Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. It is esteemed for its roof with color-changing lights that often coincide with a holiday or event (for example, every Christmas the building it lit red and green). The Empire State Building is 1,454 feet high and visitors to its rooftop are treated to an incredible birds-eye view of the city. Although it is no longer the tallest building in the world, it is still very popular and greets approximately four million visitors each and every year!
Below is a list of facts about the Empire State Building:
• When construction started on the Empire State Building the United States was in the grip of a Great Depression. The project helped give many men work and, subsequently, many families money to live on.
• The Empire State Building is a staple of the NYC skyline. The Building was made especially famous on an international scale upon the 1933 release of "King Kong," a film that depicted a giant ape climbing the structure.
• The Empire State Building has 103 stories.
• The Empire State Building is regarded as being one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.

David Farmer Special: The Lord of the Rings [Exclusive Interview]
Here is the final article of the great David Farmer Special, an interview we had with him, talking about his work on LOTR. I tried to ask for the stuff you can't find detailed in other interviews or the BTS of the DVDs, so… Hope you enjoy it!
Designing Sound: When did you start on the films and how what were initial conversations with Peter Jackson and company like?
Read More
David Farmer: My first trip over was with Chris Boyes (who recommended me for the project – thanks Chris!), and Phil Benson (Supervisor on PJ's "The Frighteners"). Both of those guys had met Peter in person before, and Phil had done an entire show with him, so I was a bit nervous. When someone flies you halfway around the world, you feel like there's a lot on the line. We also took a little detour through Sydney. New Line was apprehensive about doing the sound job in NZ, so they wanted us to look at some alternate mix stages in Sydney. We toured several, and then continued on to NZ to check out Peter's facility. It was clear to all three of us that Peter's was where we wanted to do it. To some, it might have appeared we were just kissing up to Peter, but that was just a fringe benefit. We sincerely liked his stage the best, and thought it was where we could deliver the best work.
The first time I met Peter and Barry Osborne, we were visiting his theatre where he was reviewing dailies, and the first thing I see on screen is the ring in the snow from Fellowship. It's still probably my favorite shot of the trilogy. It's just a gorgeous shot, and it drove home in one instant what I was getting myself into. This was going to be BIG. We didn't chat much right then. Peter was going about his day, and we were getting the grand tour too. From there, we went to WETA, and saw a lot of the preliminary work being done in CGI–many of the lighting tests, Gollum skin textures, and animation tests. I was blown away by what WETA was doing, and again, could tell this was going to be BIG. Next, came the tour of WETA Workshop, led by none other than Richard Taylor. He showed us all the armor and props and went into great detail how they had come up with them and all the work that went into them. You know how costumes & props usually look fake & plastic to the naked eye? These things looked amazing even in person. Again – this was going to be BIG. In many ways, that day set the tone for how I would approach my sound process. I had to live up to all that excellent work. I was determined NOT to be the weak link in the chain. It was an incredibly inspiring day, and the inspiration carried me though all 3 shows.
I'm not sure if it was the same day, but Chris, Phil, Mike Hopkins, and I went to Peter's House where we could chat in a more relaxed fashion. Peter, Fran, and Phillipa were there, and we discussed the films for quite some time. We talked about music & sound effects, and I do remember that I got to mention my favorite "advice" regarding how effects & music can work together. Sound Effects (for events on-screen) don't have a choice where they can go. They pretty much HAVE to be in sync with the picture. Music can choose to come before or after, but it isn't necessary for music to hit action – or at least music does have a choice. If both music and effects hit the same moment on screen – neither one will have the intended impact. They'll just take away from each other. I try to make that point to every director I work with. What they do with it is up to them, but in any case, I've said my piece. Aside from that discussion, the most memorable part of the night for me, was the beer. Peter gave us each a bottle of Mac's Gold – just an off-the-shelf beer, but it has this old-fashioned pop-top. Mike explained to us that you need to pull it off fast, and gave us a little demonstration. However I did it wrong, and beer went spewing all over my lap & Peter's carpet. So off to the kitchen Peter went, came back with a towel, and cleaned me up. What a first impression I must have made!

DVD - Stephen K Amos - FindThe Funny
Wed 21st Oct, 2009 in Reviews
"You Australians love to laugh!", British comedian Stephen K. Amos gleefully notes as he prowls the stage of the Enmore Theatre. He's right, too – not a minute goes by on his new DVD, Find the Funny, when he doesn't have his Sydney audience in roars of laughter. Perhaps it's this reason that Amos himself is a regular to our shores, and why he has filmed his latest DVD right here on a sell-out tour earlier this year. This unedited start-to-finish performance captures the quick-thinking, provocative funnyman in a practically unstoppable roll of anecdotes, insults and improvised interactions with the crowd.
The title of the DVD is Find The Funny – a mission which Amos has had no qualms in accomplishing. He simply asks his audience to do the same: even in the strangest and gravest situations one encounters in life, you've just got to find the things that make you laugh. For instance, Stephen often talks of his tough upbringing in a low economic class and with strict parenting. As an adult, he is now able to bring thousands of people together to laugh about these things. In turn, he assists the audience in being able to laugh at themselves – as an English visitor to Australian cities and towns, he manages to achieve an outsider's take on observational humour. Some of the biggest laughs of the night are reserved for rants about Australian taxi drivers and the city of Adelaide ("What YEAR is it there? The mullet is still alive and well!"); as well as his side-splitting impression of the "bogan" Australian accent. It must be all the visits to Australia; the bastard does it better than we do! Don't think it's all Aussie insults, either – once he gets started on Leeds in the U.K. you'll be hard-pressed not to be in stitches.
Another highlight of the performance is Amos' irrepressible communication with crowd members. Whilst you'll laugh at his mock-tirade against Pauline, a British expat, or his interrogation of Dean (who responds to his name being asked with "uhh, Dean"); nothing comes close to his chats with Robbie, the fifteen year old in the front row. When Robbie tells Stephen he was born in 1993, a laugh quivers through the crowd. "Did you hear that?", Stephen retorts. "That's the sound of jealousy!". Stephen continuously returns to Robbie during the set to emphasise jokes or to make sure he understood older references made – even to bring home some crude sex-related jokes. Sure, it's a little patronising and very embarrassing to young Robbie, but you'll be damned if you don't get a few schadenfreude laughs out of the whole situation.
From the second he walks out onstage with a fake accent, right up to the end where he ends his set with a touching story about a close friend who was diagnosed with cancer, you'll be hard pressed to find anything to dislike about Stephen K. Amos as a brilliant comedian. You certainly won't be as hard-pressed to find the funny – guaranteed.
Find The Funny is in stores now.
