On some nights, he has nowhere to sleep, on others he suffers from insomnia. "That's just how it is," thinks the warrior. "I was the one who chose to walk this path."
In these words lies all his power: He chose the path along which he is walking and so has no complaints.
Live. If you live, God will live with you. If you refuse to run his risks, he'll retreat to that distant heaven and be merely a subject for philosophical speculation. Everyone knows this, but no one takes the first step, perhaps for fear of being called insane.

You're someone who's different, but who wants to be the same as everyone else. And that, in my view, is a serious illness.
Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose--and commit myself to--what is best for me.
We all have the ability…we just don't all have the courage to follow our dreams and to follow the signs.
We wouldn't worry nearly as much about what others thought of us if we recognize how seldom they do.
...in all the woods and forests, God did not create a single leaf the same as any other… People go against nature because they lack the courage to be different.
I don't know what to do. I only know that it's taken me years to understand that life was pushing me in a direction I didn't want to go in.

Auckland McDonald's blockaded in pay and homophobia dispute
Around 30 trade union activists have today blocked entry to the Auckland branch of McDonalds. They are protesting against the dismissal of union delegate, Sean Bailey who had been sacked after exposing proof that McDonald's had been underpaying workers millions of dollars and not giving them adequate breaks. His dismissal came shortly after being threatened by his manager who told him he would be disciplined if he didn't act 'less gay'.

Drawing | Painting | Ceramics | Sculpture | Printmaking
Clay, glaze and fire are the mediums of ceramics, one of the world's oldest art forms, which continues to have a vital and expressive place in contemporary art. Students in the beginning ceramics course develop basic skills in handbuilding, throwing forms on the wheel, glazing and are introduced to different firing strategies, including raku and high-fire reduction. The integration of basic skills with principles of design and creative processes is emphasized in all courses.
Students who advance in the series build upon these skills, are introduced to glaze mixing and firing procedures, and focus on developing individual creativity in their work. Students who complete the series will have the skills and understanding to pursue their own artistic development. Ceramics courses may also be taken to fulfill the 3D concentration of the Associate of Fine Arts degree in Studio Art and may be part of a pathway to a BFA degree at a four year college.

Fast & Furious 7 resumes filming with Vin Diesel and Ludachris (pictured) after Paul Walker (far right) died in a car accident last year.
Filming on Fast & Furious 7 will resume next month in Abu Dhabi.
The seventh instalment of the blockbuster film franchise was put on hold late last year after star Paul Walker was killed in a fiery car crash .
The Abu Dhabi Film Commission has confirmed Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson and Chris "Ludacris" Bridges will travel to the United Arab Emirates capital to resume filming next month.
The loss of Paul Walker will be a huge loss to the Fast and Furious franchise.
Diesel, who is also a producer on the movie, hinted at the impending return to the Fast & Furious set in a recent Facebook post.
"The transition into that Dom (Diesel's character) state of mind has always been an interesting one. Only this time there is added purpose, a collective goal to make this the best one in the series ... P.S. The long awaited completion of Seven, begins." Diesel wrote.
Filming was half-completed at the time of Walker's death, and was due to be released in cinemas this year.
The film has now been pushed back to April 2015. Walker was killed in the smash in California on November 30 last year.
The crash also killed the driver of the 2005 Porshe Carrera GT, Walker's friend and financial adviser Roger Rodas.
Since Walker's death there have been intensive re-writes of the script amid reports Walker's character would be "retired" from the film rather than killed off.

It was while an art student at Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore that Lotfy Nathan, who grew up in Wayland, first heard the distant roar of revving motors that marked the 12 O'Clock Boys, a notorious group of urban dirt bike riders. Armed with a video camera, Nathan ventured from the Baltimore suburb of Bolton Hill, where he was living, to nearby North Avenue, a low-income, primarily African-American neighborhood. He hung with and interviewed members of the 12 O'Clock Boys, so nicknamed because of the vertical position of their bikes as they pull off wheelies.
Nathan admits he started out naively; he simply wanted to get footage and interviews for a class project. "I wasn't an intimidating presence; it was just me with a camera," he says. "There was a lot of time spent with them, but it was a quiet effort."
The effort paid off. After it premiered last year at SXSW, "12 O'Clock Boys" was picked up by Oscilloscope Laboratories. It opened Friday at Brookline's Coolidge Corner Theatre.
The investment of time — Nathan followed his subjects for three years — led to a bonanza for a first-time documentary filmmaker: He earned the trust of the bikers, who allowed him access to their subculture and eventually led him to a captivating 12-year-old named Pug. Pug, obsessed with dirt bike culture and eager to join the pack, becomes the focus of the film. Nathan not only captures the dangers and controversy of extreme dirt biking on the streets of Baltimore and the bikers' clashes with police, who for public safety reasons are prohibited from chasing the riders, he also depicts a child coming of age.
"Those [early adolescent] years are pivotal in a kid's life in Baltimore," says Nathan, who was born in England but moved to Wayland at 10, when his parents split up and his mother got a job as an anesthesiologist in a Boston hospital. Nathan says that being of Egyptian descent may have helped him to fit in more easily with the African-American bikers.
"I wasn't expecting this kind of reception to the film," says Nathan, who won the HBO Emerging Artist Award at the Hot Docs Film Festival in Toronto. The experience, and the positive response to the finished film, has led him to embrace filmmaking full time. He's developing a documentary about a computer hacker and doing research for a fiction script he's developing that's set in the Middle East.
"I never found a really healthy stride with painting. Drawing and painting are intimate but not collaborative, and I got excited about what I could do with film and the collaborative nature of it," he says. "Finding success and getting your work seen is more democratic with film than with art."

Music and drama
Director Don Argott's documentary "As the Palaces Burn" started out as a portrait of the heavy metal band Lamb of God and its legions of fans worldwide. While he was following the band on tour in 2012, the film took a sudden turn into a gripping legal tale when lead singer Randy Blythe was arrested and charged with manslaughter in connection with the death of one of the band's young fans in the Czech Republic. The courtroom drama that unfolds is set against the alcoholic Blythe's efforts to stay sober throughout. "As the Palaces Burn" will have its area premiere Feb. 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Regent Theatre in Arlington. The one-night event will include a prerecorded question-and-answer session with the band members.

Meet the filmmakers
If you haven't checked out the guests at the ongoing BU Cinemathèque, Feb. 21 at 7 p.m. is a chance to hear from Anna Wexler and Nadja Oertelt, directors of "Unorthodox," a 2013 feature documentary about the lives of three Orthodox Jewish students after they leave American high schools and travel to Israel. "Unorthodox" began in 2004 when Wexler and Oertelt were undergrads studying neuroscience at MIT. It took the filmmakers nine years to complete the film, an intimate look at the Modern Orthodox Jewish community in America. Wexler herself grew up in the community and her personal narration frames the film. The screening and discussion, co-presented by the Boston Jewish Film Festival, is free and open to the public. It takes place at the BU College of Communication, 640 Commonwealth Ave., Boston, Room 101.

Then, with a separate admission, the documentary "Maidentrip" will screen at
7 p.m. followed by a question-and-answer session with director Jillian Schlesinger. "Maidentrip" follows Laura Dekker, the 13-year-old whose dream to sail the world alone sparked resistance from Dutch authorities and a global storm of media scrutiny. A year later, she won the right to set sail. Schlesinger's debut feature mixes Dekker's own videos made at sea and intimate vérité footage from locations including the Galapagos Islands, French Polynesia, Australia, and South Africa.

There's even a couple of local nominees to root for: Rhode Island's Jennifer Lee is the writer/co-director of "Frozen," nominated as best animated film, and Daniel Sousa, a professor at Rhode Island School of Design, and Dan Golden, a RISD grad, earned a nomination for "Feral" in the best animated shorts category. The event takes place at the Vets, 1 Avenue of the Arts, Providence. For more information go to www.rifilmfest.org.

I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Mike, and I have recently purchased my first handgun. A S&W .38 special 2" barrel. Nice and lightweight, got some good kick behind it. I did get my CCW, now I feel naked when I'm not carrying.

Head Men's Coach Michael Callahan
On the team's overall performance:
"Racing went as well as we could have hoped today. Placing four of five boats in the final is a solid first step."
On his varsity eight and the level of competition:
"The varsity will have a highly-contested semifinal tomorrow. It's very fun to have the prominent programs from around the country racing here on the west coast for the national title."
Freshman Coach Luke McGee
On the freshman eight's dominating performance in the elimination heat:
"Today was a solid first race for the freshmen. It was a workman-like piece with the guys taking care of business to advance to Saturday's final. They are staying focused on having their best performance in their final race of the year."

The move will obviously bolster the financial prospects of the franchise, which has been struggling financially (claiming a $505,146 loss for the 2013 season) and at the gate (345,047
claimed paid attendance, the lowest since its current ballpark opened in 1997).
While the move may be positioned as "how much the Nationals organization values the Chiefs and the Syracuse community," it's also about ensuring that the Nationals would not be the odd man out in the next affiliate dance in September 2014. As Adam Kilgore wrote yesterday:
"If the Nationals tried to find a new affiliate, they could be stuck with an undesirable, far-flung city. Teams and Class AAA affiliates match up in the fashion of musical chairs, and some organizations are left with choices they loathe – the Mets, for example, use Las Vegas against their wishes."
Prior to this move, just four of the eleven* remaining International League teams were eligible to swap affiliations following the 2014 season, with six already extended through 2016 and a seventh, the Charlotte Knights, extended through 2020 in conjunction with its new ballpark set to open next April.
* The Gwinnett Braves are wholly owned by Atlanta while the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRilders are co-owned by the Yankees and Mandalay Enterprises.
2 Responses to "Nationals Extend PDC With Syracuse Through 2018 Season"
Tidewater has always been a preferred affiliation for the Nats AAA franchise; you have to figure the f.o. thought there was no chance to pry it away from Baltimore. Oh well.
Sure beats Las Vegas, but Syracuse ranks at the bottom attendince-wise. Here's hoping new management invigorates things.

Abortion advocates want more than to keep Roe vs. Wade intact. They want to establish an international right to abortion, overriding the decisions of individual nations to protect preborn children. But, as usual, these people have it completely wrong. The international right that has to be proclaimed and protected is the right to life.
After the horrors of the Second World War, people around the world realized that there was a need for an international body to acknowledge and protect basic human rights, in case individual nations fail to do so. This led to the development of the United Nations. The UN Charter states that its purpose is quote "to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person" end quote. Let's apply this to the unborn.

When "Porgy and Bess" premiered privately at Carnegie Hall in 1935, it was 500 pages long and clocked in at over 4 hours in length. After its initial presentation, the show underwent a 45 minute trim and ran for a swift 124 performances on Broadway. Although the piece is held in high regard and beloved internationally, many thought the show never achieved its full production potential, even after two noteworthy film adaptations. This is particularly true for Michael Strunsky, sole trustee of the Ira Gershwin estate, who had been dreaming of a contemporary retelling of the story. A reinterpretation, more palatable to a 21st century audience, would present production opportunities (meaning estate revenue) for years to come. Broadway producer Jeffrey Richards assembled a team of foremost theatre artists Diane Paulus (artistic director of the American Repertory Theatre at Harvard University) and Suzan-Lori Parks (Pulitzer Prize winning playwright) with composer Diedre L. Murray and choreographer Ronald K. Brown and a modified and amplified version bloomed from the dense, antiquated, and controversial soil of the original.
"The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess," now at the Ahmanson Theatre in Downtown LA through June 1, plays with immediacy and heart that will move you to sheer theatrical ecstasy. Paulus and Parks paired down the massive score and script to its bare bones and the result is quite breathtaking. Dialect is fresh while remaining true to the period; and what has historically appeared to be a grossly stereotypical portrayal of simple, Southern, fumbling, oversexed, and lazy blacks are new deep, meaningful, and human.
The new Bess, played by Alicia Hall Moran (originated on Broadway in 2012 by 5-time Tony winner Audra McDonald), is particularly triumphant. Paulus and Parks have created a brilliant re-envisioning of a contemporary tragic heroine who, despite every desire to live "decent" succumbs to an infernal and ferocious inclination to self-destruct with a no-good, violent, and drug-addicted man by the name of Crown. Alicia Hall Moran does a fantastic job singing the role but lacks the grit and bawdy component for the dirtier scenes that McDonald inhabited so dangerously. Hall Moran possesses a natural warmth and softness that she seems to rely on too frequently. These qualities serve her beautifully in scenes with Porgy and her neighbors on Catfish Row, but seem to get in her way just a bit in the more psychologically complex scenes with Crown.
Nathaniel Stampley shines as a magnetic Porgy with enchanting simplicity and Danielle Lee Greaves is a show-stopper as Catfish Row matriarch Mariah. Greaves lends a robust chesty mezzo to her role that feels much more indigenous to the circumstances than the more refined operatic tones of many of the other players. Alvin Crawford also proved a formidable Crown, though at times, he was a bit histrionic with his scare tactics. He could have benefitted from inhabiting a more menacing and sinister rigidity.
Scenic components are sparse, contributing to the immediacy of the storytelling. And despite a few sound issues, the orchestration is thrilling and maintains the lusty quality of the iconic songs.
Now a svelte two hours and some change, the production overall makes for a thrilling night at the theatre. The real star is the new score and script, both sizzling with a courageous form of storytelling that is sure to inspire future iterations of this timeless American Classic.

Reviews for Peanut Butter Cheesecake Pizza
"This was delicious and so quick and easy to make! I followed the directions exactly as written. I cooked and served it in a round disposable aluminum pizza pan. and sliced it into 16 pieces with a pizza cutter after it had cooler a bit.In regards to the cream cheese "sauce" being runny, I think it's supposed to be like that. Mine was runny and it came out perfect. I wouldn't have changed a thing."
"Made this recipe today. I was following the directions exactly (I had not read the reviews). My cream cheese mix was extremely runny. I then read the reviews and saw that others had the same problem. After sending my son to the store for more cream cheese, I tried again, adding only 1 egg. This worked perfectly. The pizza turned out fabulous and everyone loved it. Will Definately be making this agin."
"Does anyone besides me have problems printing the recipes? Sometimes the second page will print and sometimes it will not,no matter what I try."
"sounds great. Can't wait to try it."
"Easy to make and delicious."

Let (A,m) be a complete local Noetherian ring and let X and Y be two schemes of finite type over A (and flat over A). Let Xn and Yn be the reductions of X and Y mod mn+1.
Question: Suppose there is a compatible system of isomorphisms between Xn and Yn (for all n). Does there necessarily exist an isomorphism between X and Y over A?
In other words, suppose the formal schemes \hat{X} and \hat{Y} are isomorphic; are X and Y isomorphic?
Remark: The answer is `no' if we drop flatness (you can just stick an extra component over the generic fiber) or finite type (A[t] vs. A{t} = the completion of A[t]).

The plug-in allows artists and developers to view live motions in real-time on character. Next to the real-time plug-in, there is also a file-based approach using the FBX format to import MVN motion-capture data into Mecanim, Unity's animation system.
"The integration of Xsens MVN into Unity opens up new possibilities for developers who want to efficiently create custom animations or even bring their characters to live in real-time," explains Hein Beute, Product Manager at Xsens.
With the addition of the Unity Tools, Xsens expands its portfolio of plug-ins. Earlier, Xsens released live plug-ins for Siemens PLM Software and Autodesk MotionBuilder and Maya.

I was booked in for a circumcision In April. I ordered the Novoglan Foreskin Kit in February and used it for 2 weeks and my foreskin did stretch and I was retracting it normally. I did stretching for a another week, and have no stopped. I have cancelled my circumcision as my foreskin is now working normally...Thank you

Compared to the useless flesh tunnels that didn't even insert - this novoglan does what they say it will do. It is worth buying.

Posted by Tate, San Pedro on 28th Nov 2012
what else can I say. Worked for me. Happy with service and shipping was very discreet. Just said "skin care" LoL...
Posted by Derek on 15th Aug 2012
I am a 31 year old male who has had phimosis my entire life. I didn't know it was an issue for a long time but it did have a bit of an impact in my sex life. I wasn't sure I had something that could be fixed but I decided to give it a shot after some half-hearted attempts previously via manual stretching and betamethasone.
The novoglan was great at getting me started and I was able to finally get the foreskin retracted in back of the head while flaccid (took a little longer than expected). After that point I did have to switch to manual stretching because the balloon wouldn't expand wide enough for me.
The proceed took a little longer than expected but I did think my long standing phimosis cells take time to generate new cells. I was just very excited to see that it did work.
I am thankful to novoglan for being gentle enough to allow me to start stretching. If I had to comment on anything it'd be.. why don't you just sell a larger syringe instead of for guys like me who have a larger circumference, making it available as an additional purchase? I think I could have gotten further with the novoglan alone if that was the case. But I am thankful that I got the results as I did with.
Tips for my fellow men: i found it best to stretch in a warm tub to loosen up the foreskin first. And there is probably no reason to get circumcised! :)

The following is a conversation between myself and myself. A conversation about the movie The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which dominated its opening weekend between my Rational Mind and the Comic Book Mind that takes up the bulk of my thinking.
Rational Mind: So, what are we here to talk about today?
Comic Book Mind: The movie The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
RM: That's the second one in the reboot series, right?
CM: Yeah, that's the one, with Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and the great Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy.
RM: We really liked the first one.
CM: Yes, we did. A lot of comic book people hated it, but we enjoyed it thoroughly. We liked Andrew Garfield better than Tobey MaGuire as Spidey and the whole movie was a lot of fun. We still rank it second best of the Spider-Man movies, after the original Spider-Man 2.
RM: So, what did you think of this one?
CM: *big sigh* meh.
RM: Meh?
CM: Yeah, meh.
RM: Gonna need more than that, you know, word count and all.
CM: Well, this one brings back Garfield and Stone and Sally Field as Aunt May. However, this time Spidey faces off against the threat of Electro, played by Jamie Foxx, as a guy who ends up with electrical powers. He also has to face off against Harry Osborn as The Green Goblin and there's even an appearance by old Spidey villain The Rhino at one point.
RM: That's a lot.
CM: Plus, Pete is still trying to figure out what happened to his father, and deal with the fact that he promised Gwen Stacy's father that he would stay away from her. So, we have three villains, a mystery around Pete's parents and tons of angst over the relationship. Did I mention that this movie is two-and-a-half hours long?
RM: Sounds like it would have to be. I think I see where this is going. Is this movie Spider-Man 3 territory?
CM: It gets very close. Very close, but not quite. It's just too much. In the first movie the villain was The Lizard and, just like in the original series, facing off against one villain just tends to focus the movie. This one is so filled with things that elements get rushed. It's like: Hey, here's Max Dillon, OK, Spidey saves him, now he's obsessed, we need to make him Electro. OK, here he is over a bunch of electric eels that look more like moray eels, but whatever, and why does Oscorp have electric eels? We don't know, but he falls in and now he's Electro and now let's cram the Green Goblin stuff in!
RM: OK, so, is this a bad movie or what?
CM: Not bad, just sort of - meh. All of that stuff crammed into one movie detracts a bit from the involvement of the audience and the enjoyment of the film. If they had focused just on Electro, for example, and then set up the Green Goblin stuff for the third movie maybe that would have worked better.
RM: So are you recommending it?
CM: To fans of Spider-Man, they will probably enjoy this.
RM: You're a Spidey fan, right?
CM: Diehard. I was Spider-Man, when I was a kid and watching him on The Electric Company, for about three or four Halloweens. I am a lifelong Spidey fan.
RM: OK, just gotta establish your credentials. So, what else do you want to say?
CM: Emma Stone, as Gwen, is probably the best thing in the movie. She is funny when she needs to be and dramatic when it's required. I still like Andrew Garfield as Peter. The rest of the cast gets pushed to the background when the CGI action really kicks in at the end. The final third of the movie is very good, and it does set up the third installment in the film, as well as the reported Sinister Six movie Marvel wants to make.
RM: Anything else?
CM: I hope they tone it down a bit in the third movie in this series to focus more on story and development of the villains. Or, they can just start with developed villains like they did with the Joker in the Batman movie.

I am 17 and I'm going to Canada to get my truck worked on and I need to know if I can get over there by myself and back and can I use my birth certificate and driver's license? It's just me driving my self with my dad in a different car so he can pick me up.
There is a pretty good description of what is required to enter Canada for US citizens on the US Department of State website. According to it you will need a proof of citizenship and a proof of identity. Which a Driver's license and an Original Birth certificate might suffice. On top of this because you're under 18 you might also have to have a notarized letter from your parents allowing you to leave the country.
Now the question becomes how will you be able to re-enter the US. As @choster pointed out there is a Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative that is supposed to make travel easier. That being said you will need a NEXUS Card or an EDL along with you original birth certificate to re-enter. Something tells me that you're not in possession of the Nexus Card because it is usually obtain by frequent travelers between US and Canada.
Also according to WHTI site only 4 states in the US issue the EDLs and the more likely scenario in order to obtain one you will need to be in possession of a US Passport, though you don't have to but it makes things easier.
So in all I would suggest getting a Passport or doing the work in the US might be a lot easier if not cheaper.

My name is Thomas 'Tom' Cizauskas.
Among my interests, one which holds my profound attention is beer. I might say that I have a love affair with beer: not simply its tastes - as delicious, complex, and varied as they may be - but its history, science, lore, and evolving creation.
In the good beer trade since the early 1990s, I have been a brewer, a brewery manager, a brewpub owner, a brewery consultant, a restaurant manager, a beer writer and blogger, guest speaker on beer, and a beer and wine salesman.
Beer may be my profession, but cask ale —the beauty of beer at its freshest— is my mission.
2008 - present: Select Wines, Inc.
I am a salesman with Select Wines, Inc., a wholesaler located in Chantilly, Virginia. Despite the name of the company, my sales portfolio consists of both wine and beer.
The wines include an extensive selection from Bordeaux and Burgundy, Italy, Austria, Australia and New Zealand, Argentina, California, Oregon and Washington, and elsewhere.
The beers include those of American craft breweries Abita, Heavy Seas [formerly known as Clipper City], Oliver Breweries, Stoudt's, and others, as well as imports from Belgium, Germany, the U.K., and elsewhere.

The mystery is at last revealed. Anne Holland Ventures Inc have just released our first new online publication, a site called Which Test Won?
It's all about A/B split testing and multivariate testing. Every week we'll be featuring a new real-life testing example you can vote on, and then see how your gut stacks up against the actual test results. Plus, it's got a 125-term testing glossary and heaps of "know-how" information.
A big thank you to Google's Tom Leung who helped by reviewing the Testing Glossary content -- it's a 40-page document so it was a bigger job than you'd think. Any mistakes or subjective comments in it are mine, not his! Also, thanks to my Senior Reporter Natalie Myers who stepped in to quality control the final site most of last night and this morning when my (older) eyes started burning from too many hours of squinting at the screen. Again, any errors you'll find now are my fault, not hers.
A piece of ancient Chinese wisdom soothes me at times like these: all pots must have at least one tiny crack to let the soul in.

Los Angeles - If, but more likely, when Farmers Field opens its gates in 2016, there is a strong possibility the venue will bring some of boxing's biggest events to the City of Los Angeles.
Famers Field will be the home to one, and maybe even two, National Football League franchises. But a facility of this magnitude cannot live on football alone. Concerts and other sporting events will be hosted by AEG's new state of the art complex.

When Cowboys Stadium opened in 2012, the most modern football arena in the United States at this time, owner Jerry Jones went above and beyond to secure and present Manny Pacquiao's last two fights.
If Top Rank Promotions by passed Las Vegas casino site fees to take Pacquiao to Dallas – the United States fifth largest media market with approximately four and a half million people over the age of 12, what will boxing promoters do to bring their sport to the second largest media market (10,000,000 occupants aged 12 or older) in a venue that can seat 75,000?
As it is AEG's Los Angeles properties Staples Center and The Home Depot Center have hosted boxing events on a fairly regular basis, and the company acquired a share of Golden Boy Promotion's ownership back in 2008.
A National Public Radio reportinfers that AEG already plans to host at least one boxing event at Farmers Field every year with at least 50,000 fans in attendance every year.
When 2016 rolls around, it is highly unlikely Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, Wladimir Klitschko, or Vitali Klitschko will be the biggest names in boxing, but whoever those names might be – there is a good chance they will be appearing at Farmers Field in their biggest fights.

Western Texas College Wind Energy
The wind classes at Western Texas College (WTC) are part of a 60 credit hour AS degree transferable to Texas Tech University (TTU) for students to apply toward a BA/BS degree.
They can use the 60 hours (15 in Wind) from WTC as a minor in a BA Management program or apply them toward a BS degree in Wind Energy.
The wind program at WTC is an academic program rather than a workforce program; the students' "job" is to go to TTU. The wind classes currently only transfer to TTU as it's the only college with an undergraduate wind program. While at TTU the students will complete a minimum of 400 hours of internship either at a global wind company in the U.S. or at the International Texas Tech Center in Spain.
Upon graduation from TTU: Potential employment opportunities include; Wind Project Developer, Director of Wind Development, Wind Field Operations Manager, Wind Project Site Manager, Renewables Account Representative, and Wind Power Forecaster/ Wind Resource Assessor. While these positions require 3-5 years of experience they all have entry level assistant positions.
See the Catalog for Course Descriptions.

What stroke? Pure God's warning to those who lie. Next after October 21 d......................
Evangelical broadcaster Harold Camping, who rallied thousands of followers with a failed prophecy that the world would come to an end last month, has been hospitalized after suffering a stroke.
Camping, 89, fell ill following a broadcast of his daily "Open Forum" radio show last Thursday evening in Oakland, California, and was admitted to an undisclosed hospital in the San Francisco Bay area, Tom Evans, a spokesman for his Family Radio network, said yesterday.
"He's doing well, and that's all we want to say right now," Evans said.
Camping drew international headlines by predicting the biblical Judgment Day would occur on May 21, launching a doomsday countdown in which some followers spent their life's savings in anticipation of being swept into heaven that day.
But after Camping's prophecy failed to materialize, he said he had simply miscalculated by five months and pronounced a new date for the apocalypse, October 21.
What stroke? Pure God's warning to those who lie. Next after October 21 d......................
This old man took his chances,he is not the first to tell of a failed doomsday,Jesus,Paul, Notradamus, the Incas of Peru and Mexico on 2012,Nonqhawuse,none of these false predictions ever take place.
Which Jesus are you talking about?
Now he is dying probably the doomsday is never gonna happen. Ai! How i wanted to witness the end of the world.
The son of joseph and Mary,the descendent of David
Before you ask me which Paul.The former Pharasee,Saul of Tarso,who once persecuted followers of Jesus.The Jew with Roman citizen who became Paul and appointed himself the 13 apostle.The writer of 13 letters which are now part of the Christian book of worship.
All died,Paul said he was not going to die,he was going to be taken to heaven with those who were christians then alive.guess what,he died too.
Who is Harold Camping??? The Book stipulates: even the Son of Man does not know the date and time.May be he is predicting his own death.
The earth does come to an end.There are two possibilities one every 100 yrs a meteor as big as a car falls towards the earth, every 1000 yrs a meteor as big as a bus fall towards the eartn and every 20000 yrs a meteor as big as a moon falls towards/passes towrds the earth.I figures mat not be exact as I read this sometime ago,but if you check,I might not be that wrong.So we have a big possibility of been hit by one of these,which aspecially the last one, no one can survive,even vegitation.
The second possibility which is certain is the death of the Sun. Like any other star the life span of the sun is a certain billion years. So our sun, is left few billions before it meets its death,ie +- 6 billion years.Every shooting star we experience is the death of a star.Once the Sun/star builds an iron in its center then its dying as all the energy is spent trying to destroy the iron elements.But this is no bad new as life today as we know it,the universe and multiverses are the product of a star/sun that died billions and billions of years.
This is not controlled by any intelligent being,spirit or thing,its just the way things are.So life when it ends is not in the hands of anybody,but nature,nature take its course.Other than that the eartn, world aint ending because a Jew said so.
harold may ur doomsday will come 21 october that's where u will c heaven.
@sefolo * apologise for any inconveniences* kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaakwaaaaaaaakwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa lol!!!!!

As the problem is currently stated, $A$, $B$, $C$, and $f$, $g$, $h$ are unfortunately not relevant. Let $$W(x)=Af(x)+Bg(x)+Ch(x).$$
The problem states that $W(x)\ge 0$, presumably for all $x$, and asks for conditions under which $W'(x) \ge 0$ for all $x$.
The condition $W(x) \ge 0$ cannot be of much help. We could ask for $W(x)$ to be non-decreasing, but that is really only a minor restatement of $W'(x)\ge 0$. Apart from that sort of thing, there is no nice condition on a general function that will ensure a non-negative derivative. And despite the apparent complexity of $W(x)$, there are no conditions on it apart from $W(x) \ge 0$.

Press Conference QuotesUniversity of AlabamaNovember 27, 2006
Alabama Interim Head Coach Joe KinesOpening Statement:From our perspective, the way we are going to approach this now is to be completely focused on the student-athlete. Some of this staff have sat on the couch with their mother, their father, their grandmother or someone and assured them that we were going to take care of their child academically, physically and that the football part would come last. Now we are going to uphold that commitment. We are only about two weeks away from exams. We are not going to let any child fall through the cracks. We are not going to let any player miss a class and we are not going to lose our focus on academics. These players came to the University of Alabama to get a degree, and we are going to do that.
We are going to do it to the very best of our ability. We are going to handle the academic part up front and foremost. We are really blessed at Alabama to have (strength & conditioning coach) Rocky Colburn here, so we are going to handle the physical part of it. The only thing we know to do right now to help this team is to go to work. We are fortunate enough to have a guy (Colburn) who is so knowledgeable. We were talking to the seniors a while ago, and all across the country this month seniors are going to leave a team and then they are going to go hire somebody to work them out, and Rocky has assured them that he is going to do it for free. We are going to work them good and get everything back on track and make sure we are headed in the right direction there.
Football wise, we are hoping and praying that we get to go to a bowl game. This group wants to go. For the seniors it's one more chance to perform and to do the thing they have done all their lives. It's important to this program. If you look at the teams that go to bowls, they go every year. Once you get left out, you lose spring practice. You lose the connecting point between the fall, winter and the spring. The bowl season is probably the highlight of the year. So it's really important that if we get to go, we do that right. There is a plan in place for practice and to get done what we need to get done. We are going to work and work diligently to do that.
I just met with those young men, and there is probably every emotion known to man going through their minds. The one thing about young people is that they are real resilient. They will go where the leadership takes them. They came here for a purpose and the great thing about Alabama is that those guys came here for the right reasons. Those guys that chose to come to Alabama chose Alabama for the right reasons and those reasons are still here. We are going to work and make sure we handle everything that has to do with the student-athlete, that's what we are going to focus on in a nutshell. It's not very complicated. We are going to do that and let everyone else handle what they need to handle.
On other assistant coaches' status:We have two coaches who haven't come back in because they have been in the homes of top prospects. We are not going to let that get left undone. We have been asked to stay on top of that, so we have a plan in place to hit each of the prospects that we have offered a scholarship to. There has been a letter sent out assuring them that our commitment is there and that our focus is not going to change. We are going to work 16 or 17-hour days just like we have been doing.
On his authority to deal with players:Dealing with the players, that's what we talked about today. Those guys know right from wrong. We are going to look them in the eye and do the things we promised their mothers sitting on that couch that we were going to do. We are going to make sure they go to class, attend workouts and go to study hall. They are still going to do the things they came here to do.
All I know is what we are going to do right now. We are not going to try to get philosophical about all of this or get in to a realm that we can't handle. We are going to try to get it right, right now, and that's what we are going to focus on.
On if he had spoke to former head coach Mike Shula:I spoke to Coach (Shula) last night. This is a great game, the greatest game in America. But sometimes it's not a very good business. That's just the way it works out sometimes. We are not going to try to get into all of that, what we are trying to focus on is the players and how we can help them day-to-day. We don't want them to get lost or fall through the cracks on a day-to-day basis. That's where you get in trouble. You look up and you haven't been to class for three or four days, you wonder how you are going to pass that chemistry test. You look up and you haven't worked out for three or four days, how are you going to play as well as you can? We are going to stay on top of that day-to-day, and the things we have no control over we will leave to the folks who do.

The title is not very straightforward I understand, but you will soon realize it was not so simple to describe in few words this problem.
The problem
Consider a system consisting of:
- A process of incoming requests.
- A process of request checking. Or, better, a process of request consumers.
So, basically, in this system, some requests (or calls) are performed by requestors and they are consumed by consumers. No need to detail further. It is just a simple producer/consumer model adaptable to many existing conditions.
Model is homogeneous
There is an important condition. Consider the model being homogeneous. Which means we focus on time intervals other than time instants. So I will always consider $\Delta t = t_2 - t_1, t_1,t_2 \in \mathbb{R}, t_1 < t_2$ as the quantity indicating the time interval.
Successful request consumption
Consumers cannot consume all requests. It depends on instants where consumers check for request and instants where requests are made. Let us say that if a request arrives in a certain instant $t_r$ and a consuming-check is performed, instant $t_c$, in that same time too ($t_r = t_c$), then the probability that the request is consumed is 1. The probability for a request to be successfully processed/consumed depends on $t_c - t_r$; the higher this interval, the lower the probability.
Model so far
I modeled the process of arrivals (requests) as a homogeneous Poisson process: $\Lambda(k,\Delta t)$. The probability that in $\Delta t$ there will be $k$ incoming requests is:
$$ p_\lambda = \frac{e^{- \lambda \Delta t} \cdot (\lambda \Delta t)}{k!} $$
Where $\lambda > 0$ is the number of arrivals in $\Delta t$ experienced previously (the typical rate of arrivals).
The process of requests consumption is modeled similarly using Poisson: $M(k,\Delta t)$. The probability that in $\Delta t$ there will be $k$ request-check is:
$$ p_\mu = \frac{e^{- \mu \Delta t} \cdot (\mu \Delta t)}{k!} $$
Where $\mu > 0$ is the number of request-check in $\Delta t$ experienced previously (the typical rate of request-check).
My question
I want to get the probability, say $p_\rho$, that in $\Delta t$ there will be $k$ successfully processed requests in $\Delta t$, considering Poisson-$\lambda$-distributed request arrivals (in $\Delta t$) and Poisson-$\mu$-distributed request-checks (always in $\Delta t$).
Just one more thing
I need a solution in order to find $p_\rho$ that depends on $k$ and $\Delta t$: $p_\rho(k,\Delta t)$.
I got a feeling that...
It is just a guessing but, is it something related to process convolution or similar?
About queueing models
I know that this is a problem can can easily be related to queueing models. But I tried those and my problem is that M/M/1 and M/M/m queues are modeled using death-birth time-continuos and time-discrete Markov chains. When I apply those models I can get an ergodic model and obtain steady state probabilities but those will not depend by $\Delta t$. Of course if you have some ideas how to get this done using Markov chains, thankyou.

Facilities/Equipment 8.5 - 8.6
8.5. Keys and Swipe Card Access
Many music students have legitimate needs to access secure rooms such as piano studios, percussion studios, AE studios, and sometimes, with the faculty member's approval, even faculty offices. Students are not issued keys to classrooms. Students enrolled in MUSC 167 or MUSC 170 should see Ms. Lucy Yamakawa Cox as soon as possible after classes begin to pay a $25 key deposit (per key) and to be issued swipe card access to Rm. 124 and/or Rm. 226.
Students authorized to be in secure rooms should take the following steps:
- Go to the Music Office or online and fill out a SJSU Key and Building Card Access Request Form, Sections 1-2-3.
- Ask the appropriate faculty member to write a memo to the Director, copying Ms. Anita McClintick, authorizing your use of the room, rationale, and the duration of such use (ex: "Josephine Smith has my permission to request a key for Rm. 200 during the 2015-16 academic year so that she can open the room for my weekly masterclass").
- Bring items 1 and 2 to Ms. Wijas in the Music Office.
- In most instances, it takes about one week for your key/modified Tower card to be ready.
- At the end of the time period detailed on the Key and Building Card Access Request, keys must be returned. Students will lose their deposit and have a hold be put on their grades for keys not returned in a timely manner.
Room Key Liability:
Each student is responsible for the room key(s) issued. If a key is lost or stolen, the student must notify the School soon as possible. The student must pay for the lost or stolen key(s) and interview with the Director before the reissue of key(s).
8.6. Use of Lab Facilities
Do not take food or drink into any lab facility. Students who do not comply with this rule may lose access to the lab for the remainder of the semester, or longer.
Access to lab facilities are monitored by the faculty member(s) in charge of each lab.
Labs are limited access rooms and access cards are required for entry.
Use of labs outside of regular building hours requires instructor permission and permission from the Director of the School.

Release date: May 23, 2014
Directed by: Bryan Singer
Written by: Simon Kinberg
Hey comic book fans. Don't give up on the X-Men yet. After a run of less than stellar mutant super hero flicks, Bryan Singer returns to the director's chair with the ambitious "X-Men Days of Future Past" and manages to inject some energy into this fading franchise and right some of the mistakes that have been made along the way.
The plot, at a glance, may seem a little complicated. In a desolate future where giant robots known as sentinels have nearly wiped out the mutants, Professor X (Patrick Stewart) and Magneto (Sir Ian McKellan) must send Wolverine (again, Hugh Jackman) back in time to stop a disaster that will ultimately lead to this doomed timeline. Complicated, yes. But Singer's guidance makes it simple enough to follow even if you're not up to date on the series as a whole.
A majority of the film takes place in 1973, allowing for some fun kitschy play with costumes and settings and jumps back and forth between the '73 timeline and the 2023 timeline. This allows Singer to use his old X-gang, including Stewart, McKellan, and Halle Berry; as well as the younger models from "X-Men First Class" including James McAvoy and James Fassbender as the younger Professor X and Magneto, respectively.
Merging universes the universes helps to right some of the wrongs that have been made along the way, and ties up the plot holes (as best as he can anyway), while setting up a more cohesive future for the franchise with both sets of characters. Be sure to stay through the credits for the stinger that will set up the next movie in the series.
There are a ton of characters peppered in, some who have appeared in past films, others who are making their X-debut. Thankfully, the script from Simon Kinberg, who is penning one of the new "Star Wars" spin-off flicks, gives everyone something to do. No one really feels just thrown in, nor does anyone feel slighted. Look for a fun turn by Evan Peters as super speedster Quicksilver, a character that will also be seen – although unrelated and played by a different actor – in next summer's Avengers sequel.
Singer is clearly happy to be back among his mutant brothers and sisters. "Days of Future Past" delivers some of the best super hero action seen on screen in recent memory, as well as a lot of new and creative uses of the mutant powers. But more importantly, the film has a sense of urgency that has been lacking in recent outings.
"X-Men Days of Future Past" helps return the X-Men to the glory days state Singer had left them in when he bolted to temporarily derail the Superman's franchise. But he's back where he belongs and the film is a dark, violent, but incredibly fun summer action flick.
Running time: 131 minutes
Rating: PG- 13 for sequences of intense sci-fi violence and action, some suggestive material, nudity and language

Southern proactively addresses a complex, deep-rooted, and formidable set of housing issues in a region that has experienced long-term economic decline and stagnation. In the Delta, high unemployment and high poverty rates combined with poor housing stock mean that alarming numbers of people live in run-down homes, in overcrowded homes, in uninsulated homes, or in homes with no kitchen or even plumbing facilities. The proliferation of vacant buildings have contributed to high crime rates in many Delta communities, and poor housing conditions lead to a rash of health problems as well, including high rates of asthma and other respiratory diseases.
Housing is at the heart of rural development. By supporting the American Dream of homeownership in Delta communities, Southern is also encouraging people to invest in the safety and appearance of their neighborhoods, directly increasing the standard of living, decreasing population out-migration, increasing the property tax base (which bolsters local government and public works), and increasing asset levels and equity (which spurs additional investment in the community).

Taking the Willamette tiger by the tail
I was struck by a lot of things on our recent trip to the epicenter of Oregon's wine industry, the Willamette Valley. For starters, I'd never been as cold in the month of June as I was there (quite a statement from a Clevelander!), although our good hosts at Cherry Hill Winery in the valley's Eola Hills region kept telling me it had been 90 degrees the week before. I also felt that the Willamette Valley and its hillsides had more than a passing resemblance to Italy's wonderful Piedmont region.
What you may have read or heard about Oregon, and in particular about Pinot Noir, is true. The state really has the tiger by the tail. With this varietal's emerging popularity, the timing could not be better. But not only was I struck by the current quality of the region's wines; its potential was just as impressive. And it's not just about the reds.
Realizing that far too many wine drinkers remain unaware of what Pinot Gris is even supposed to taste like, one can learn a lot from Oregon. A great Pinot Gris, such as the one I tasted at Cherry Hill Winery, drinks more like a red wine than a white. White cherries (see what I mean?) came to mind. It's clear to me that the Willamette has a bit of a "whiteout" thing going on as well.
Please visit our stores for your own review of Oregon wines. We've brought back some truly outstanding examples. And should you have these wines before you get out there on your own trip, (because we know you'll go), just consider yourself ahead of the game.
2003 Cherry Hill Winery - Pinot Noir $32.99
This wine not only epitomizes a simply great Pinot Noir, but it also shows the promise of the Willamette Valley. Produced from the Pommard Clone, the vibrant and flavorful wine is not just delicious on its own, but it is also an incredibly versatile partner with salmon, roast poultry and red-sauced pastas. And how's this review for a debut vintage? "Relatively firm, with lively, emphatic raspberry and plum flavors that sail through the finish, lingering seamlessly. 91/100 points."
— Wine Spectator, May 31, 2005.
2004 Cherry Hill Winery – Poverty Road Pinot Gris $14.99
This juice is, hands down, the best American Pinot Gris that I have ever tasted. There are bright and alluring aromas and flavors that remind me of white cherries. What's most impressive about this wine, however, is its weight on the palate. It is rich and dense, with extraordinary balance and flavor. I'd be willing to bet that there are not many foods this one doesn't go great with. My personal tip for this one is to serve it with the chicken at your clambake. Kick up the bird with a spicy sauce or rub, and you will understand Pinot Gris as it should be.
