SAN FRANCISCO -- Family and friends of a woman found dead in a San Francisco General Hospital stairwell in October expressed outrage Wednesday about documents released that show sheriff's officials apparently making light of the case in phone calls recorded at the hospital.
The sheriff's department this week released transcripts of hospital phone calls regarding the case of Lynne Spalding, a 57-year-old woman who was admitted to the hospital on Sept. 19 for an infection and was reported missing two days later.
She was found dead in a fourth-floor stairwell on Oct. 8, and the transcripts show "callous incompetency" by the sheriff's department, a spokesman for Spalding's family and friends said.
In one of the transcripts dated Oct. 8, an unnamed sheriff's deputy said, "No, I didn't smell her, but two of our guys f---ed up big time. They are both trying to blame the other one, but they didn't do their job, nothing new. I'm just laughing."
San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi has said hospital officials asked the sheriff's department to search the entire 24-acre campus after Spalding had already been missing for more than a week.
A day later, it was determined that not all stairwells had been searched and staff was directed to search them, but only half of the stairwells were searched, Mirkarimi said.
On Oct. 4, sheriff's officials also received a report of someone lying on a stairwell in the hospital, but there is no indication that anyone ever went to follow up on the report, the sheriff said.
The transcripts released this week also show confusion over the initial details of Spalding's disappearance. The first reports within the hospital indicated that she was black and wearing a hospital gown, but she was white and found dead wearing her own clothing.
In a transcript dated Sept. 21, the date of Spalding's disappearance, an unnamed deputy characterized the case as someone who "was going to be discharged anyway."
The deputy said Spalding "decided to take off and then her daughter made a stink about it, that's all that was. That's already been handled," according to the transcript.
Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi later said a physician told a deputy that Spalding was very confused and not safe to be out on her own.
A medical examiner's report on Spalding's death concluded that she died of electrolyte imbalance -- a condition that can be caused by dehydration -- and delirium due to clinical sepsis.
David Perry, a spokesman for Perry's friends and family, said in a statement today that the transcripts "reveal a dehumanizing lack of compassion and a disregard of minimum professionalism that are shameful."
Perry said, "These recordings prove what we have been saying since ... Lynne went missing: no one at SF General or the SF Sheriff's Department took this case seriously."
"No one has yet to answer for or suffer meaningful consequences following the death," he said. "Lynne's family and friends demand justice and full accountability."
Mirkarimi has since made staffing changes at the hospital, reassigning a dispatcher, two senior deputies and a sergeant away from the site.
A captain, two lieutenants, two sergeants and two senior deputies were brought in as additional security at the hospital.
Mayor Ed Lee announced that the University of California at San Francisco Medical Center is also undertaking an independent review of San Francisco General Hospital's safety and security systems.

Augusta is taking steps to keep more money in your city.
Today, it was through a one-stop workshop for dozens of minority and women business owners and anyone looking to start a business.
A question that's often asked at political forums is: how can we get more minority and small businesses in Augusta?
Plenty of people say we need them, and a business expo today was a start to making it happen.
As owner of a new catering business in town, Jonavon Harris was all ears today, asking the right questions.
"This is really helpful," he told News 12. "I'm 30 years old. I started when I was 22, trying to get into business. I didn't know what direction to go."
Giving direction is the purpose of Augusta's first-ever business expo for minorities and women who are or would like to be business owners.
It was a chance to meet with city leaders and experts to learn everything from how to get started to how to get financial help.
And aside from all of the workshops, one of the biggest parts of this expo is--of course--networking.
"I think networking is one of the biggest factors," said business owner Keith Brown. "If the people don't know you, there's no way for them to do business with you."
Perhaps no one knows the necessity of networking better than David Karangu. He spoke at the expo of his struggles starting out. Now he's considered one of Augusta's most successful minority business owners, owning Fairway Ford and Mercedes Benz of Augusta.
"I've always felt an obligation to let people see I'm real, I do exist, and there's other people like me that are working hard and running multi-million dollar businesses," Karangu said.
For the dozens who showed up, it may have been a lot of advice to absorb, but in the bigger picture, their ambition and hopes at local success could mean big things for the city.
"We want to make sure our tax dollars are staying here in Augusta, Richmond County and not going to other states," said Yvonne Gentry of the Disadvantaged Business Department.
For folks who missed this expo, the city of Augusta plans to have another one soon.
If you want to get information before then about starting a business in the city, you can contact Augusta's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise. Their number is 706-821-2406.

The notion that embryonic stem-cell research amounts to the killing of babies has always struck me as a pseudo-moralistic�falsehood having no relationship with science.
A human embryo is not a baby. It�s not even a fetus, which is defined by Webster�s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary as follows: �an unborn or unhatched vertebrate esp. after attaining the basic structural plan of its kind; specif: a developing human from usu. three months after conception to birth.�
Embryonic stem cells exist only at the earliest stages of embryonic development. A three- or four-day old human embryo, called a blastocyst, consists of about 100 cells. By comparison, the brain of a common house fly � note, just the brain, not the whole fly � consists of more than 100,000 cells.
A blastocyst has no nervous system, no heart, and no specialized tissues. Many of the cells are still undifferentiated, meaning they can become any type of cell in the human body. This gives embryonic stem cells an advantage over adult stem cells in the scientific search for therapeutic breakthroughs for disease and injury. It raises the possibility that embryonic stem cells�can be�differentiated by researchers�into any tissue or organ in the human body � a promise that does�not pertain to adult stem cells.
Despite these facts, THIS GUY from the American Family Association is bad-mouthing the Ice Bucket Challenge on grounds that it raises money for embryonic stem cell research by the ALS Association, which� he equates with killing babies.

Types of Numbers
At a Glance - How to Solve a Math Problem
How to Solve a Math Problem
Shouldn't we have started out with this? Oh, it's no big deal. You already know how to do all this business. It's just a little review of the general process, so this should all feel like old hat to you.
There are three steps to solving a math problem.
1. Figure out what the problem is asking.
2. Solve the problem.
3. Check the answer.
Simple enough.
Sample Problem
Doug went to the grocery store. He bought a bunch of bananas for $1.37 and a jar of peanut butter for $2.99. There was no tax (because he lives in the state of Simplified Math Problems—it's near North Dakota), and he paid with a ten-dollar bill. How much change will he get?
Let's work through the steps.
1. Figure out what the problem is asking.
We want to know how much change Doug will get. In other words, if he starts with $10, spends $1.37, and then spends $2.99, how much will he have left? He wants to know so that he's clear about how much he'll have to blow on scratchers.
2. Solve the problem.
There are two ways to write this word problem as an arithmetic problem. We can write:
$10 – ($1.37 + $2.99)
$10 – $1.37 – $2.99
Either way, Doug gets $5.64 in change. That'll get him five $1 scratchers, and he'll still have a bit left for laundry money. You go, Doug.
3. Check the answer.
We can check to see if the answer is reasonable or in the right ballpark by estimating. $1.37 is about $1.40, and $2.99 is about $3, so our answer should be about $10 – $4.40 = $5.60. Yep, $5.64 is indeed close to $5.60, which means our answer is probably right on the money.
We can also check to see that our answer is absolutely, perfectly correct by working backwards. In this case, the cost of the bananas plus the cost of the peanut butter plus the change should add up to $10.00. So $1.37 + $2.99 + $5.64 should equal $10.00, which it does. Weird. We just totally got a taste for banana peanut butter sandwiches. Wonder where that came from.

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), also known as marrow stromal cells, are a self-renewing population of adherent, multipotent progenitor cells with the capacity to differentiate into several cell lineages (1). In defined in vitro assays, hMSCs have been shown to readily differentiate into lineage-specific cells that form bone, cartilage, fat, tendon, and muscle tissues (1, 2). Mesenchymal stem cells also provide support and maintenance for the other major stem cell population in the bone marrow, the hematopoietic stem cells (2).
Human mesenchymal stem cells hold great promise as therapeutic agents because of their differentiation ability (thus their potential to replace damaged tissue) and for their immunomodulatory properties. A large number of clinical trials are underway that are using hMSCs in a variety of indications, including bone/cartilage disease, cancer, heart disease, gastrointestinal disease, diabetes, autoimmunity, and neurodegenerative diseases; hMSCs are also being used in drug discovery as a replacement for primary cells and animal models for initial toxicity and effector function screening of new compounds (3, 4). However, a key challenge remains for both drug discovery and clinical applications: obtaining a sufficient number of cells at reasonable cost (5).
The large-scale, industrialized production of hMSCs is necessary to advance these cells into clinical trials and to deliver the large quantities needed for drug discovery screening and lead optimization. Bridging the gap between basic research and large-scale manufacturing of stem cells for clinical trials requires the expansion of well-characterized cells produced under tightly controlled, consistent, reproducible culture conditions that adhere to cGMP standards. cGMP stem-cell culture systems require well-defined, optimized processes that support stem-cell expansion and differentiation to ensure consistent cell populations with uniform properties and predictable behaviors. Additionally, vessels used for expansion must allow rapid analysis of small volumes containing the actual cells to confirm that the expansion and harvest methods are yielding the expected cell populations. Because stem cells are the product, the sample size must be small enough to ensure that valuable product is not wasted.Human mesenchymal stem cells have historically been isolated based on the ability of these cells to form adherent cell layers in culture and the concomitant lack of adherence of other cells in the bone marrow stroma, such as hematopoietic stem cells, adipocytes, and macrophages (1). However, the multilayer flatbed culture (2D) methods currently used for stem-cell expansion are cumbersome, time-consuming, do not allow for constant monitoring of cell characteristics throughout the expansion process, and they introduce a high degree of variability. These limitations make this method suboptimal for the manufacturing of clinical-grade hMSCs. Furthermore, the culture protocols for multilayer vessels require high labor cost, which in turn results in high cost of goods overall. Thus, the development of culture conditions that can be monitored and that produce high numbers of stem cells at low cost is warranted.
One possible solution for overcoming the limitations of 2D multilayer flatbed culture methods is the use of stirred tank bioreactors in which the stem cells are grown on a microcarrier scaffold for suspension (3D). In these 3D cultures, cell samples and medium can be analyzed throughout the expansion process and the growth process can be tightly controlled (e.g., oxygen, pH, glucose, glutamine, lactate, and ammonia). This article desribes the utility of EMD Millipore's 3-L single-use, bench-scale bioreactor (Mobius CellReady bioreactor, EMD Millipore, Billerica, Mass.) for the expansion of hMSCs.

Definition of monism in English:
nounPhilosophy & Theology
1A theory or doctrine that denies the existence of a distinction or duality in some sphere, such as that between matter and mind, or God and the world.
Example sentences
- The coherence theory builds in a metaphysical bias towards monism: the idea that everything we know should somehow form one massive 'complete theory of everything'.
- Paganism on the other hand has adopted a worldview based on monism, where duality is more often perceived as aspects of an encompassing whole.
- He combined ancient classical humanism with Oriental metaphysics to ratify his own down-to-earth brand of philosophical monism.
1.1The doctrine that only one supreme being exists. Compare with pluralism.
Example sentences
- If this step from monotheism to monism goes too far, in what ways can Judaism respond to a postmodern desire for Oneness?
- Theism might always be about meaning, but what religion would look like if monism were asserted against theism is an open question.
monistnoun& adjective
- Example sentences
- Only monists and missionaries think that differences must be removed, or that differences will just disappear once everyone is 'liberated' and free to see the light.
- The other thing that interests me is that the Hippocratics were in a sense the first monists rather than dualists and by that I mean that they argued that the mind equalled the brain.
- In considering how such tensions can be resolved there is an important difference between monists and pluralists in philosophy.
- Example sentences
- It will not succeed in this task if it tries to describe reality neutrally in a perspective of observation, whether this occurs in the form of a monistic or pluralistic metaphysics.
- Totalitarianism rejects these commitments in the name of a monistic vision of human life and an all-powerful government that seeks to implement that vision.
- Instead they have refused assimilation and present themselves as the monistic alternative to the monism of Western modernity.
Mid 19th century: from modern Latin monismus, from Greek monos 'single'.

Tanker Rolls Over, Bursts Into Flames in Nashville, Tennessee
A tanker explodes in a fireball, spilling toxic fuel into an underground drainage system.
A tanker explodes in a fireball, spilling toxic fuel into an underground drainage system.
Kevin: The December 1998 bombing of Iraq (code-named Operation Desert Fox) was a major four-day bombing campaign on Iraqi targets from December 16, 1998, to December 19, 1998, by the United States and United Kingdom. The contemporaneous justification for the strikes was Iraq's failure to comply with United Nations Security Council resolutions as well as their interference with United Nations Special Commission inspectors. The operation was a major flare-up in the Iraq disarmament crisis. The stated goal of the cruise missile and bombing attacks was to strike military and security targets in Iraq that contribute to Iraq's ability to produce, store, maintain and deliver weapons of mass destruction. The bombing campaign had been anticipated since February 1998 and incurred wide-ranging criticism and support, at home and abroad. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates initially announced they would deny U.S. military the use of local bases for the purpose of air strikes against Iraq. It became one of the roots of the 2003 invasion of Iraq which resulted in the deposition of the Ba'athist Iraqi government.

Celebratory Gunfire Blamed for Boy's Injuries
Published: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 10:31 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 10:31 a.m.
JACKSONVILLE | Police say celebratory gunfire likely injured a Jacksonville boy waiting to watch New Year's Eve fireworks.
Lt. Jimmy Judge of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says that shortly before midnight Monday, the 8-year-old boy told his father that something had hurt his foot.
Judge tells The Florida Times-Union that when the boy's father examined his shoe, he found a bullet. The man carried his son to a nearby officer for help.
Judge says the boy was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Authorities statewide urged people not to fire their guns in the air in celebration because the falling bullets can kill or injure innocent bystanders, even those who are far away from the shooter.

3 MR RAMPTON: My Lord, before I call Dr Longerich, there are
4three things I think I would like to mention.
5 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I want to mention two things to you too.
6 MR RAMPTON: Then judge before counsel.
7 MR JUSTICE GRAY: All right. One I think I have actually
8discovered the answer to, but can you just confirm that
9the statements which you rely on for saying that Mr Irving
10is a Holocaust denier, are they now collective in K3 and,
11if so, are they going to be refined down, as it were, any
12more or do I take it that K3 is the selection upon which
13you rely.
14 MR RAMPTON: My belief is there was an abstract rather like the
15anti-Semitic abstract. It is on Word disk.
16 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I actually heard that. If, in due course,
17Mr Irving and I can be supplied with a copy of it, that
18will help a great deal. The other thing is, looking ahead
19a little more, and this is for you, Mr Irving, as well is
20really looking ahead to final speeches, it seems obvious
21that you must both take matters in whatever order you
22think is appropriate, but it seemed to me in this
23particular case it would be quite helpful to have a
24discussion at some stage about a possibly agreed order of
25topics to be covered, because it would help me if I knew
26what you were moving to. If you were to take things in
1the same order, you do not have to obviously, but do you
2follow what I am getting at?
3 MR RAMPTON: I do.
4 MR JUSTICE GRAY: This is quite a difficult case in the sense
5of you cannot take it chronologically and it is quite
6difficult to interrelate some of the issues.
7 MR IRVING: Your Lordship is aware that I propose not
8addressing certain issues in my closing speech.
9 MR JUSTICE GRAY: That is a matter for you.
10 MR IRVING: But I certainly agree that there should be an
11agreed order.
12 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I think so. That makes it sound a bit more
13formal than I was really intending, but if we can set
14aside maybe half an hour some time early next week.
15 MR RAMPTON: May I say straightaway my present format is to do
16what I call historical falsification first, then because
17it goes with Holocaust denial, Auschwitz, and then what
18I call racism and then finally political associations.
19I will try to order the historical distortions as I did in
20cross-examination, and my witnesses have done more or less
21in the witness box, to do that chronologically.
22 MR JUSTICE GRAY: If I can just indicate the problem I have had
23is that the issue of Hitler's knowledge of what was going
24on is quite difficult to accommodate within the structure
25you have just outlined. That is, I think, the area that
26is quite difficult to slot in.
1 MR RAMPTON: Except to this extent, it does not find a place,
2or not a significant place, in my format because I do not
3believe that it has any relevance except in so far as it
4is on the back of that topic that most of the historical
5distortions ride.
6 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Quite, but if you limit -- I am sorry to go
7on about this point; it is quite important to thrash it
8out -- what one might call the historiographical
9criticisms of Mr Irving to the points that are made,
10effectively, by Professor Evans, you slightly miss the
11whole gamut of the continuum, to use a word we have been
12using, of the evidence in relation to that issue. So I
13will just mention that as being a possible difficulty.
14 MR RAMPTON: It will have a place in the file which -- your
15Lordship I hope now has, which we have finished, I am
16afraid -- that was the other thing I was going to say and
17apologise -- a bit late yesterday. It contains what we
18think are the core history documents and that, obviously,
19bears on the Hitler knowledge question.
20 There will be in what I have to say a certain
21amount relating to Hitler's knowledge, Hitler's authority,
22Hitler's orders, if you like, but only in so far as the
23evidence leads to the conclusion reached by Sir John
24Keegan, for example, that the idea that he did not know
25defies reason.
26 MR JUSTICE GRAY: We will spend a bit more time on perhaps
1discussing that.
2 MR RAMPTON: One other thing: as to that Hitler knowledge
3question, what Miss Rogers has done is to prepare a
4reference, chronological reference document, for what are
5the most important -- it is not exhaustive -- Hitler
6statements, in our submission. Can I pass that up?
7 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Where do you want me to put it? Have you had
8this, Mr Irving?
9 MR IRVING: No, I have not.
10 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Is there a copy for Mr Irving?
11 MR RAMPTON: N1, I think it is. It is the new file anyway and
12it is ----
13 MR JUSTICE GRAY: It is called N1, thank you.
14 MR RAMPTON: There is one other thing I should say. Your
15Lordship asked for a note on the admissibility of expert
16evidence in written form. I have done a note on that. It
17will be ready by 2 o'clock. It is being typed.
18 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Obviously, Mr Irving should have a chance to
19look at it before we have any submissions there are going
20to be about it.
21 MR RAMPTON: I will attach to it, there are some pieces of
22paper showing what the statutes and the rules say.
23 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Thank you very much. Mr Irving?
24 MR IRVING: My Lord, the only thing I would wish to add to that
25is a request that there should be one clear day before the
26submission of closing speeches.

The Silverthorne Pavilion hosts a ski and snowboard film premiere series starting tonight with Absinthe Films' "Resonance" and Matchstick Productions' "Superheroes of Stoke." This is the first winter film series to be held at the pavilion. "I tour in Alaska every spring and know several of the film companies and pros from my performances and helicopter skiing while up there," said Todd Anders Johnson, who is helping to put on the event with the Risan Project, an organization that raises awareness about climate change and global warming science."With our interest in climate issues and environmental sustainability, we have partnered with Planet Earth Clothing, which uses organic cotton and recycled fabrics; Swany and their new eco-line of gloves and Alaska Brewing, which has a number of sustainability initiatives," Johnson said. The entry fee is $5 and there will be door prizes and raffle items from Alaskan Brewing Company, Swany, Planet Earth Clothing, Vail Powder Guides, Unity Snowboards and Able Planet. A portion of the proceeds will go to Friends of the Colorado Avalanche Information Center. Following the films there is an official after-party at Murphy's Irish Pub with drink specials and music. The second and final premiere in the series takes place Dec. 6 and features Level 1's "Sunny" and Standard Films' "2112."

EAGLE COUNTY - The gaping hole near the top of Tennessee Pass may force changes to one of the state's newest events.
The USA Pro Cycling Challenge is set to run its fourth stage from Aspen to Beaver Creek Aug. 23. The route includes Independence Pass, Battle Mountain, and, yes, Tennessee Pass.
But Tennessee Pass is closed indefinitely due to the hole - caused by a century-old collapsed railroad tunnel under the pass - and all traffic is being re-routed to State Highway 91 over Fremont Pass.
Adam Lueck of the Vail Valley Foundation - the local Cycling Challenge organizing group - said race organizers and Colorado Department of Transportation officials are set to meet Friday to talk about options.
Those options could include a fix to the highway, a temporary fix that would allow the race to go through the area, or, perhaps, re-routing the race stage.
Last year's Cycling Challenge, the inaugural race, featured a Vail time trial. Vail was left out of the event this year, though, even though race organizers called it one of the iconic stages last year and said it would likely be one of the stages that would return year after year.
Avon also hosted a start last year for the Avon to Steamboat stage - both of those cities are not included in this year's race, either.
Race organizers announced the returning teams Wednesday, which include riders like reigning Tour de France champion Cadel Evans, and American star and inaugural USA Pro Cycling Challenge winner Levi Leipheimer. This year's race includes six UCI ProTour teams - the highest level of professional cycling teams.
With more than 1 million spectators in the books from the inaugural event and even more expected this year, there's a lot of interest in whether a re-route would occur.
"We just don't know yet what might happen," Lueck said. "I'm real curious to learn more."
Last year, spectators slept in cars and tents on the sides of roads just to get a glimpse of the fastest cyclists in the world. Like the Tour de France, fans in Vail ran up Vail Pass alongside the cyclists, shouting, cheering and donning ridiculous costumes.
In Vail alone, town officials estimated that 27,000 spectators watched the race in town, including 7,500 packing the last kilometer of the course.

If the weather cooperates, piles of trash will probably be removed next week from the former homeless camp under the Veterans Memorial Bridge between Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg boroughs.
"We have already contacted the borough street department and (Pennsylvania Department of Transportation) to get things moving," Stroud Area Regional Police Capt. Brian Kimmins said.
"I understand that there are no more people living under there thanks to the efforts of the Stroudsburg Wesleyan Church. I also spoke with a church official, and they will be putting some folks up (at the church) due to the pending storm. Property continues to be taken out from under the bridge for storage elsewhere."
It's unknown if anyone homeless started Friday night's fire under the bridge, prompting the bridge's eastbound lanes to be closed until the flames were put out.
Firefighters at the time helped an unidentified man walk up from under the bridge, but it's unknown if that man is homeless.
Stroudsburg Wesleyan and East Stroudsburg United Methodist churches provide food for the homeless and shelter them on cold or stormy nights when the East Stroudsburg Salvation Army shelter is filled.
A recent community meeting at East Stroudsburg UMC led to the formation of various volunteer task forces to address the needs of the homeless, such as employment, affordable housing, medical/dental/pet care and case management.
Anyone interested in serving on one or more of these task forces can contact the church at 570-421-3280.

Scratch-and-sniff cards prompt natural gas scare
Published: Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 6:54 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 6:54 a.m.
GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) — Those scratch-and-sniff cards the energy company sends to customers to teach them to recognize the artificial smell added to natural gas? Turns out they work pretty well.
Energy West general manager Nick Bohr tells the Great Falls Tribune (http://gftrib.com/18u3gYG ) that workers recently discarded several boxes of expired scratch-and-sniff cards in Great Falls. But when the garbage truck picked them up and compressed the load Bohr says "it was the same as if they had scratched them."
The resulting odor prompted numerous false alarms and building evacuations as the garbage truck traveled through downtown Great Falls on Wednesday morning, leaving the smell in its trail.
Bohr says the company apologizes for the disruption.

Add numbers in Excel 2013
Watch these videos to see how Excel 2013 makes it easy to add numbers using formulas, buttons, and functions (such as the SUM and SUMIF functions).
Basic math in Excel
Let Excel be your calculator. Take this course to learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide using formulas and functions.
Create a chart
Charts provide a visual representation of your data, making it easier to analyze. Each type of chart highlights data differently. And some charts can't be used with some types of data.
Create your first Excel 2013 workbook
Watch these videos to learn how to use Excel 2013. Get started with the new version to see how to do everyday tasks.
Freeze or lock panes
You want to scroll down and see your rows of data, but when you get to the bottom of the screen, your column names in the top row have disappeared. To fix this, you freeze the top row so that it's always visible. Good news – the command is easy to get to. Click View > Freeze Panes > Freeze Top Row.
Top tips for working in Excel Online
Use Excel Online to change the formatting of numbers and text to help make your information stand out. And see 3 ways to quickly add numbers, too.
Understand and use cell references
One of the key things you'll calculate in Excel are values in cells, the boxes you see in the grid of an Excel worksheet. Each cell is identified by its reference—the column letter and row number that intersect at the cell's location. For example, a cell in column D and row 5 is cell D5. When you use cell references in a formula, Excel calculates the answer automatically using the numbers in the referenced cells.
Use AutoFill and Flash Fill
Sometimes you need to enter a lot of repetitive information in Excel, such as dates, and it can be really tedious. But the AutoFill feature can help. Or say you have information in Excel that isn't formatted the way you need it to be, and going through the entire list manually to correct it is daunting. In this case, Flash Fill (a new feature in Excel 2013) can do the work for you. AutoFill and Flash Fill are tremendous time savers, and in this course, we'll cover them in more detail.
Add or subtract time
You can add and subtract time in Excel almost like you subtract other types of numbers. For example, you might do this if you want to know how long it took to complete a project's tasks. The one exception is that Excel doesn't support a negative number formatted as time.
Average a group of numbers
When you need to find an average, you can click a button, or use a function in a formula. The AutoSum button lets you find the average in a column or row of numbers where there are no blank cells. Use the AVERAGE or the AVERAGEIF functions to find the average of numbers that aren't in a contiguous row or column. And use the SUMPRODUCT and the SUM functions to find a weighted average, which depends on the weight that's applied to the values.
Insert headers and footers
You can add headers to the top and footers to the bottom of a worksheet. When you print the worksheet, the headers and footers also print. For example, you might create a header with the file path and a footer with page numbers. Headers and footers display only in Page Layout view and on printed pages. Take this quick course to learn more.
Make the switch to Excel 2013
Watch these videos to make the switch to Excel 2013. Get started with the new version to see how to do everyday tasks.
Sort and filter data
Excel is an amazing tool for analyzing data. And Sort and Filter are some of the most commonly used features to help you. To change the order of your data, you'll want to sort it. To focus on a specific set of your data, you can filter a range of cells or a table. Take this course to learn more.
Take conditional formatting to the next level
In the course Use conditional formatting, we covered the basics of conditional formatting. Here, we'll go a few steps further and see how to apply conditional formatting to cells, tables, PivotTables, and worksheets. For example, to quickly conditionally format cells, you can use a Quick Analysis option or an option on the Conditional Formatting button in the ribbon. We'll also use formulas to apply conditional formatting, and learn how to edit and delete rules using the Conditional Formatting Rules Manager.
Use conditional formatting
It can be hard to get a lot of meaning out of numbers in a worksheet. But Excel provides a bunch of ways to quickly analyze your data using conditional formatting. For example, you can use a color scale to differentiate high, medium, and low temperature values.
VLOOKUP: When and how to use it
Learn how to use the VLOOKUP function to find data in a large spreadsheet, and on other worksheets in a large workbook. These videos explain each of the VLOOKUP arguments, and mistakes to avoid.
Webinar: Simplifying Your Excel Data
This 15-minute video goes over Conditional Formatting, the new Quick Analysis feature, and making better charts for presentations.

About the Book
The beautiful and tragic saga of the Louvin Brothers—one of the most legendary country duos of all time—is one of America's great untold stories. Charlie Louvin was a good, God-fearing, churchgoing singer, but his brother, Ira, had the devil in him and was known for smashing his mandolin to splinters onstage, cussing out Elvis Presley, and trying to strangle his third wife with a telephone cord.
With a moving foreword by Kris Kristofferson, Satan Is Real is the incredible tale of Charlie Louvin's sixty-five-year career, the timeless murder ballads of the Louvin Brothers, and the epic tale of two brothers bound together by love, hate, alcohol, blood, and music.

Officials are pushing a safety campaign in western North Dakota's oil patch, where 12 people died in oil and gas operations last year.
The Bismarck Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/VSmGDl) it is a joint project of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the National Service, Transmission, Exploration and Production Safety Network's chapter in North Dakota and Montana.
The effort was getting under way Thursday with a meeting in Minot, with OSHA officials talking about recent fatalities in the oil patch and energy company officials talking about their safety goals. The presentation was to be streamed to remote work sites. OSHA Area Director Eric Brooks says about 400 employers signed up.
OSHA says North Dakota now ranks second for work-related fatalities per capita.

It is now year three of football at Grovetown. Last year the Warriors played in a region for the first time and held their own. This year, they're thinking playoffs. Can they get there; no reason to think they can't.
They may have taken a pretty good hit in leadership with the loss of Xavier Crain and DJ Tyson, but others have stepped up their game. Rodney Holder is head coach and is very happy with the number of kids playing and how those returning are getting the job done more than ever. But with guys like Jamal Cummings, Terrell Hughes and three senior linemen, this is one confident group of young men.
"We have Jamal (Cummings) back, and a young kid named Terrell Hughes too so we feel pretty good about that," says Coach Rodney Holder. "You know our depth in our O-Line and D-Line is better because of our age and maturity, and you know hopefully early on that will help out our quarterbacks and get them to where they need to be."
"We have three senior linemen this year, and we've pretty much had the same offensive line for the past three years," adds Steven Holden.
One bug-a-boo they need to improve on is finishing games. They played in a handful of close games and came up short in three of them. Conditioning and learning how to finish off games has been a big point of emphasis here in the early going.
"All we've been focusing on is the fourth quarter and finishing and going hard. Don't give up, don't bend over, don't stop, just go hard every play," says Damon Stinger.
"We wanted to compete, and we felt at times we did pretty good," adds coach Holder. "We have to be better this year. Our region is going to be tougher this year top to bottom."
Grovetown has to ramp things up rather quickly as well seeing they play in 13 days against Greenbrier. Coach Holden doesn't mind the early start seeing it can help in the long run in finishing off those games.

CONIFER, Colo. - More residents displaced by the Colorado wildfire returned to their homes as fire crews on Sunday fought for full containment of the blaze, which charred 6 square miles of rugged terrain southwest of Denver and may be responsible for three deaths.
Residents of 50 homes were still unable to return on Sunday, nearly a week after the fire erupted. At its peak, the blaze forced mandatory evacuations of 900 homes. More than two dozen homes were damaged or destroyed.
The bodies of a couple and a set of human remains that may be those of a missing woman were discovered last week amid the debris left behind by the Lower North Fork fire. The fire apparently was sparked by a controlled burn that sprang to life March 26 in strong winds.
About 500 firefighters had the blaze 90 percent contained on Sunday. They were battling record high temperatures in the 80s and wind gusts but hoped that an approaching cold front bringing precipitation - even snow - late Sunday could help them secure the perimeter, said Jacki Kelley of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
That front was expected to deliver wind gusts as high as 50 mph late Sunday or early Monday, another concern for firefighters, said Jim Kalina, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Boulder.
Red flag warnings advising residents of high fire danger dotted much of Colorado Sunday. The state had seen minimal precipitation since February, and high temperatures and low humidity have sapped vegetation and forests of moisture both in the Rockies as well as the eastern plains.
Utilities were slowly being restored inside the fire zone. Electricity and natural gas crews worked with emergency officials to restore services in much of the area, Kelley said.
Colorado has suspended controlled burns that are designed to reduce wildfire risk after the Colorado State Forest Service acknowledged that a March 22 prescribed burn may have rekindled and triggered the North Fork Fire. High wind gusts blew embers across a containment line, the forest service said.
Search crews on Saturday found human remains in a damaged home, but Jefferson County authorities said they didn't know if the remains were those of Ann Appel, who had been reported missing.
The bodies of Sam Lamar Lucas, 77, and Linda M. Lucas, 76, were found at their destroyed home last week.

VAIL - Charles Alexander says "yes" to himself every day.
"I wake up and decide whether or not to go skiing. That choice is simple," Alexander said.
Alexander is the EpicMix leader in vertical feet skied with more than 7.5 million so far. Arapahoe Basin is still open, so he's still skiing all day every day and will be until A-Basin pulls the plug.
When he retired four years ago, (he taught electrical engineering at the State University of New York), he decided there would be no wasting away on the beach or sitting in a condo watching TV.
He promised himself he'd be outside exercising at least four hours a day, skiing, mountain biking, scuba diving - anything he felt like doing. Most days he feels like skiing.
"I was completely surprised to find out he could ski 11 and a half hours a day, from the time the lifts open in the morning until they shut off the lights for night skiing at Keystone," Alexander said.
It started simply enough. He moved to the High Country and wanted to see if he could ski three days in a row. Turns out he could, so he just kept going.
"I average about 60 hours a week skiing," he said.
Alexander calls himself the most prolific ski bum in the world.
He's not really competitive; he's just having fun.
"All this happened because I was doing what I love," he said. "The more I did it the easier it got, the better I got and the more I liked it."
The engineer in him takes over occasionally.
For example, he calculated that the best place to get vertical on any Vail Resorts mountain is Keystone's North Peak. The Santiago lift carries you up 1,600 vertical feet in 4.7 minutes.
He can ski down Starfire in about 80 seconds, so he can do a lap in about seven minutes.
He can pile up tens of thousands of vertical feet in half a day, which is fun. Then he can go anywhere and do anything, which is also fun.
His EpicMix account shows 121,072 vertical feet on March 8, then 120,664 on March 9.
The official world record was 4.16 million, he said, but it won't be for long.
He submitted his application to the Guinness Book of World Records for this year's total to be recognized as the new world record.
He has a GoPro camera so every run is on video, and he has to log everything and keep a diary.
"People tell me I must ski fast, but I'm having fun, skiing, relaxed," he said. "I know how hard I can push myself and still come back and ski the next day - and the next and the next."
Keystone has the best groomers in Colorado, he said. He goes to Vail for bowls, glades and bumps. He's a big Beaver Creek fan, too. He skied A-Basin recently, with its 16 inches of new snow.
"I love them all. They all have their own strengths," he said.
Last year, he skied 7.2 million vertical feet at Vail Resorts mountains and two million more at A-Basin.
He used to be a tournament chess player in New York and ran that circuit, renowned for his creative play with his knight, hence his email address handle "knightmoves."
Because you write about what you know about, he's writing a book about skiing.
He has five college degrees and lots of
"I enjoy visiting with people on the lifts," Alexander said.
Most rides are just under 10 minutes, enough time for introductions and a few good jokes. Which leads to the question, "What do you get when you cross Frosty the Snowman with Dracula? Frostbite."
Young people riding the lifts and gondola talk to him, calling him Mr. Epic. Then he strides by them on the way to his car when the day is done. They're tired. He's not.
"Some have a hard time believing I'm in my 60s. I have tons of people tell me this is what they want to do when they retire," Alexander said.
"We've always known that we've had passionate, die-hard loyal skiers and snowboarders who live and breath skiing (or snowboarding) and who feel as if our resorts are home to them," said Sara Lococo, a Vail Mountain spokeswoman. "Over the past two seasons, EpicMix has allowed our loyal skiers and riders to add another layer to their experience by tracking, tabulating and setting their own goals and records - either personal or in Charles Alexander's case, a Guinness Book of World Record."

Notes: Stash was unfinished. At the start of the Chalk Dust encore, the stage was engulfed by stage-diving, high-fiving fans. When a female fan's bear hug knocked a singing Trey away from the mic, he signaled "cut" to end the song, with Fish and Mike instead playing harder. Security then regained control and the song finished uninterrupted.
Song Distribution:
7 Stash
4 Rift
3 Hoist
2 A Picture of Nectar
2 Lawn Boy
2 Junta
2 The White Tape
1 The Man Who Stepped into Yesterday
Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1994 Summer Tour."
Set 2 begins innocently enough with 2001 and Sample, but the following Maze brings the heat. If I Could is a very nice departure from the intensity of Maze. Trey makes his guitar sing beautifully in this one. A quick Uncle Pen picks the energy up before a tremendous YEM with an excellent jam. The bass and drums section is especially great. A couple quick tunes leads into a very nice Hood. The jam is notable for dropping down to near silence in parts and has a strong ending. Highway to Hell makes a great set closer. Trey forgets some lyrics in the Chalk Dust Torture encore, but it ends the show on a high note. Trey also plays around with some effects during the verses, making for an interesting version.
If nothing else, give Stash->TMWSIY, Antelope, and YEM a listen.
great show overall

1. Summit was absolutely fantastic!: 02:46
The panel was _really_ fun. Well, it wasn't really run as a panel, but more as a set of quick presentations. I think I amused everyone with my eagerness to speak. <laugh> My voice was hoarse from nervousness - so much for Toastmasters! - but I survived my presentation. I was thrilled to hear my key thought (usability isn't just about the interface - we also have to tell stories!) reiterated during the breakout session and other stuff.
And of course the entire summit was _tons_ and tons of fun! The researcher in charge of the project I'm working on very, very helpfully gave me tons of ideas for my thesis. The organizers hugged me and thanked me for being there. People are looking out for me and helping me... Wow!
Happy, happy girl.

2. Welcome to the world, Daniel Karl Johnston!: 02:50
Best wishes to Daniel Karl Johnston, the newborn son of Douglas Johnston, totally awesome guy in charge of D*I*Y Planner. I'm sure Daniel Karl will be making ultracool organizer templates in no time! ;)
(If you want cool stuff for paper-based productivity, you _must_ check out D*I*Y Planner. The ads are sometimes useful, too...)
Random Japanese sentence: 台所からその猫を追い出してくれ。 Chase the cat from the kitchen.
3. Wireless presentation remote: 03:05
In response to my wishful thinking about a presenter's mouse, Chris League wrote:<blockquote> If I may be so bold, THIS is what you want: http://tinyurl.com/qg7e2
A wireless presentation remote and laser pointer in a very conveniently-sized gadget. I don't go anywhere without it, just in case I have to give an impromptu presentation. :)
I've seen people use wireless mouse instead, and it always looks awkward, balancing it in your palm, or on a table top where you have to come back to it if you're on the other side of the room. </blockquote>
That is _exactly_ what I need! =D I'm going to look for it locally and buy one!
Check out Chris' blog, too. Totally awesome!<blockquote> Today (Monday, actually) was the start of the 2006 LIU Teaching with Technology Institute. Unlike many professors, I of course have no problem adapting to new technologies, since I basically invent new technologies for a living. But the reason I like participating in this — and other workshops sponsored by our Teaching and Learning Initiative — is that it's great to get together with other passionate profs to talk about teaching. Or, more accurately, about "creating effective learning environments." Or, more pretentiously, about 'pedagogy.' </blockquote>
Way cool!

October 17, 2006
Three weeks from today, you will head to the polls for the November general election.
Absentee voting is underway, but the Richmond County Board of Elections is seeing a snag already.
You may not be prepared for just how long the ballot is for this election.
You'll have to go through nine amendments and referendums before you can even vote for mayor of Augusta.
And what you don't know could cost you a lot of time.
First there are the hotly contested, highly known governor and mayoral races. Then there are the not-so-known and downright who-the-heck-are-they seats.
Add to that several more judicial seats that haven't been on a November ballot in years and a SPLOST referendum that takes up an entire column of its own, and you've got one of the longest sample ballots that's come through Augusta's election office in 28 years.
"We've noticed people who've come in, it's taking ten to 15 minutes to vote," said Director of Elections Lynn Bailey.
Just ask Leatrice Gardner, a self-proclaimed speed reader who admits she's been defeated by the ballot.
"Some of the issues I hadn't heard of," she said. "There were some I didn't even know were an issue, so yeah some were a surprise."
Bailey says he two most common questions absentee voters have been baffled by so far are SPLOST and the Redevelopment Powers Law.
"When we get to those questions, just reading them is going to take five to seven minutes itself, not including the decision you have to make," she said. "It's quite lengthy."
But she says one way to avoid that problem is through a few simple clicks of the mouse.
"Our website gives you all the information, including what precincts you're in."
This November's absentee ballots are three pages long. On the voting machines, it will be ten pages.
So the bottom line is, educate yourself before you go to vote so you don't waste your time or anybody else's.

A trout bum's dream come true.
Not too many days go by where you're not either fishing or thinking about fishing, and since your addiction to trout doesn't usually result in long-term employment, we understand that you need to make your hard-earned cash stretch to maximize the amount of time you spend on the water. If all of this sounds familiar, then the Redington Men's Palix River Wader is most definitely for you. With a solid three-layer construction, reinforced knees, and high-density booties, the Palix River is a solid wader that doesn't cost too much more than what you'll blow in a month on the cheap beer and gas station grub that you'll grab along the way to your favorite stretch of water. The Palix River Waders come with all the essentials with gravel guards, waist belt, and suspenders all included, but they also have a single chest pocket with two vertical handwarmer pockets—a nice upgrade from those camo neoprene waders you started out with.
- 3-layer shell with DWR finish
- Reinforced knees
- Adjustable suspenders
- Belt included
- Item #RNG001G

Great Entry Level Wader
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
Great wader for the price. They have room but are not overly baggy like some waders. They are super comfy and after a year of pretty hard use they don't have any holes or any wear and tear. The pockets are nice and big and it is easy to overload them
Good entry level Waders
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
I bought these for my dad to wear. He only fishes a few times a year and takes really good care of his stuff, they are lasting great. I would recommend these to anyone in a similar situation. Those who fish a lot and beat their stuff up will blow out these waders fast.
Just what I was looking for.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium-long
I can't say anything for the durability, because I haven't used them enough to testify for that aspect. However, the sizing of these waders were perfect. I am 5'11" 175lbs and ordered the Medium-long size, the length was perfect for me. If you follow the sizing chart, you will not be disappointed. Sizing chart on these waders is very accurate. As always, shipping was very fast. Thank you Backcountry!

[18/05/2007] Press Release Outcome of the 6th AfriNIC Public Policy Meeting Rockview Hotel, Abuja, Nigeria, 28th April to 4th May 2007
AfriNIC, the Regional Internet Registry for Africa, held its 6th public policy meeting in Abuja, Nigeria from the 28 th April to 4 th May 2007 . This meeting held with AfNOG, AfREN, AfTLD and INET Africa exposed the latest works being carried out on the IPv6 as well as Internet Governance and IP number resources allocation policy in Africa . The main focus of this meeting was the IPv4 address exhaustion and what can be done by the community to address issues being raised by this exhaustion. As an incentive for greater IPv6 take-up and usage within Africa , a new fee schedule was approved for IPv6 Membership fees. Also, a 50% discount has been proposed to universities and research networks on set-up and annual membership fees.
It was a great opportunity for networking and sharing of best practices among the stakeholders in the African region. It also gave the opportunity to see how several countries ( Senegal and South Africa ) in Africa have implemented IPv6 in their network.
One of the numerous outcomes of this meeting was the setting up of Birds of Feather sessions on IPv4 exhaustion, anti-spam and the Policy Development Process.
The meeting also included two days of hands-on IPv6 training which was attended by 50 delegates. The training, which was provided by Cisco System and Consulintel, covered all aspects of IPv6 deployment, and was also used to train African trainers to whom AfriNIC will have recourse to for future training.
The meeting was attended by nearly 200 delegates from over 40 different countries. The largest proportion of attendees were from telecom operators (inc. ISPs) followed by Education Networks and governments, giving an indication of the importance that all stakeholders are now giving to the role of AfriNIC and the Internet Number Resources.
The next AfriNIC meeting (AfriNIC-7) is planned for 24 th to 28 th September 2007 in Durban , South Africa . More details will be available soon on AfriNIC meeting page.
AfriNIC-6 was sponsored by Cisco System, ConsulIntel, Internet Society, Netcom, Linkserve, Skannet and Cyber Space. More information about the meeting can be found at http://www.afrinic.net/meeting/afrinic-6.

[08/06/2007] Memorandum of Understanding AfriNIC / AfTld
[26/06/2007] Press Release – AfriNIC reduces its fees for Research & Education Institutions
Upon a proposal from the Association of African Universities (AAU), AfriNIC, the Regional Internet Registry for Africa, has agreed to provide special pricing to education and research institutions in the AfriNIC service region.
From July 1st 2007, research and education institutions in all African and Indian Ocean Countries will be entitled to a 50% discount on set-up, membership and assignment fees for IP number resources, which AfriNIC assigns to them.
This measure is expected to increase research and development at university level in IP technologies and Internet applications related development.
To the same end, AfriNIC will be holding two joint training sessions with the AAU in 2007, to increase awareness and knowledge on the latest developments in Internet technologies.
This close collaboration between AfriNIC and the Association of African Universities in enhancing Internet access and capacity development for AAU members and other education and research institutions follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding AfriNIC, AAU and AfNOG in September 2006.
Adiel Akplogan, CEO of AfriNIC stated: 'These measures are the results of AfriNIC's commitment to support the academic and research community in Africa. We have to continue working together for a better involvement of the Academic community to the development of Internet in Africa region'

Over one night, police sirens rang through the streets of Lansing.
"We had a busy night here at the Lansing Police Department. We had numerous calls, many of them serious calls," said Sgt. Joe Brown of the Lansing Police Department. " We received fight calls, burglary calls, shots fired calls, and stabbing calls."
It began when shots were fired in downtown Lansing where a man stole a tip jar from New York Burrito and fled on foot. Then, police made a traffic stop where several illegal guns were confiscated.
"With last night seisure of the guns, we have recovered 7 illegal guns within the last 2 days," said Sgt. Brown.
Shortly after, two burglaries of medical marijuana dispensaries were reported on Martin Luther King Blvd. The crime didn't stop there. On the north side of town, two people were stabbed after a house party ended just before 5 am.
"One of the two victims was stabbed in the neck and the other was stabbed in the arm," said Sgt. Brown.
More than 30 Lansing police officers were laid-off a month ago, and councilman Eric Hewitt says police are being stretched too thin. But the Lansing mayor says the force is doing more with less.
"Even after the cuts---and we've had tough cuts to make---I still feel good about the city's ability to respond to crime in a timely way. Our response time is not down," said Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero.
The mayor says some programs like Neighborhood Watch were dropped due to budget cuts.
"We can't put a policeman on every corner, we all want that. What we can do is work together.
He hopes the community will step up to help combat crime.

Netflix is beginning the price increase that it announced during its latest earnings report.
New U.S. customers of the service's streaming video plan will see a $1 increase, from $7.99 a month to $8.99. It's the first price increase since 2011. When previewing the hike in April, Netflixid existing customers would be exempt for some period of time. That window will be two years, the company said Friday.
The details of the increase were delivered to inboxes in an emailed titled "Thanks for Being a Netflix Member":
In order to continue adding more movies and TV shows, we are increasing our price from $7.99 to $8.99 for new members. As a thank you for being a member of Netflix already, we guarantee that your streaming plan and price will not change for two years.
The price increase, which was previewed as being a dollar or two, is happening in Europe and the U.K., too. (When converting currencies, a euro and a pound are more than $1, hence the dollar or two.) Netflix isn't making any changes to its other business of mailing DVDs to homes, a spokesman said.
The move comes at a time when Netflix has committed to spending billions on programming, including original shows like "House of Cards" and newer technologies like 4K video quality. The streaming service counts 34 million subscribers in the U.S., surpassing rivals like HBO.
Netflix is also reaching deals to have its service added as an app directly onto the set-top boxes of smaller cable companies, and it made "interconnection" agreements for direct access to the networks of Verizon Communications and Comcast.
