Educated persons are prepared for lifelong learning, for continually dealing with changing perceptions and new bodies of knowledge. Beyond facts which become out-dated, they ask intelligent questions, to make informed decisions, and to think confidently for themselves.
Educated persons are capable of regulating their own lives, not only with regard to decisions made in vocational contexts, but within the larger contexts of their lives as citizens and social beings. An institution in the liberal arts tradition must take as its goal not only provision of the best possible career training, but also provision of the skills and knowledge graduates need to make contributions to the total community. At Juniata, we believe the procedures of acquiring an education are an important part of the educational process. Therefore, certain educational decisions are made by each student using the information provided by faculty advisors and the intellectual skills developed during the first few semesters at the College.
Educated persons should be able to think independently about intellectual and moral issues. Juniata's program is designed, therefore, to promote and develop the habits of mind and communications skills needed to make and implement decisions. Students wrestle with profound issues of human values, not only as dealt with in the past, but as they affect current thinking in a student's chosen field.

Ten Tips for Summer Travel Success
By Herschel J. Grangent, Jr.
Summer travel season is upon us. This is a time to relax after a long year of school, work, and sometimes a combination of both.
Whether you venture to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport for a trip alone or with loved ones, making the right travel choices can be the difference between an enjoyable journey and a forgettable one. The following tips are designed to produce positive results and get you on your way to fond vacation memories.
1. Never wait until the last minute. Book your trip as
early as possible through a travel agent or travel site to get the best
deals on flights, hotels, and rental cars to your desired destination. Popular
flights sell out quickly during the summer months. The longer you wait,
the more expensive your trip will be.
2. Travel during "off-peak" times. Major airports like Hartsfield-Jackson are normally more crowded during early morning and late afternoon. Try to travel during mid-morning through early afternoon or in the evening hours, Monday through Thursday.
3. Pack with security in mind. Security is heightened at every airport in the world, and you should pack accordingly. All of your luggage will be screened, possibly by hand. Prescription drugs, jewelry or anything of value should be in your carry-on baggage.
When packing toiletries, remember the 3-1-1 rule: three (3) ounce containers
in clear one (1) quart zip-top bags, one (1) bag per passenger that must be placed in the security bin for screening. Prohibited items such as weapons or explosives should not be brought to the airport. A visit to the Transportation Security Administration's Web site will provide you with a complete list of prohibited items.
4. ID your luggage, but don't lock it. Identification tags should be both inside and outside of your bags. All baggage should be unlocked. If security personnel need to look inside your luggage, they may have to destroy the lock to do so. There are locks on the market that can be opened only by the TSA. For more information on approved locks, visit the TSA Web site.
5. Check in early. Many airlines will allow you to check in for flights online prior to arrival at the airport. You can even print boarding passes and your receipt from your home or office.
6. Arrive at the Airport early to avoid lines. The rule at Hartsfield-Jackson is 60, 90, and 120. Arrive 60 minutes prior to your flight time if you are not checking any luggage, 90 minutes if you have luggage to check. If you are taking an international flight, allow two hours (120 minutes). Curbside check-in is available at most airports, including Hartsfield-Jackson. If you require a wheelchair or other special assistance, check with a skycap at curbside or with a ticket agent.
7. Dress for security success. Avoid wearing clothes, shoes, jewelry or other accessories that are made of metal. These items will set off the screening machines. Place any outer garments (coats, raincoats, etc.) in a screening bin. Don't take wrapped presents to the airport. Mail them in advance or wrap them when you get to your destination.
8. Don't travel without a photo identification (ID). If you are 18 years old or older, you will need a photo ID. Your ID must be in your hand at the security checkpoint and during the boarding process. Make sure the name on your boarding pass matches the name on your ID.
9. Stay close to your departure gate. Hartsfield-Jackson has a plethora of retail shops and restaurants available throughout its concourses. However, one should maybe put off buying that last minute souvenir if his flight is boarding. Board when your group number or row (printed on your boarding pass) is called.
10. Relax and enjoy your flight! You've worked hard all year, and you have more than earned this vacation, so relax. If you packed wisely, arrived at the airport early, prepared yourself for a smooth security screening, and boarded on time, you have virtually eliminated the stress that can come from travel procrastination. Congratulations, and have a nice trip.

Silence Theme of Power
Whether we like it or not, fathers are authority figures. They set the rules (and can ground us if we don't follow them…), but they can also teach us a lot of things. In "Silence," the speaker's father teaches her (and us, indirectly) how to be a "superior person." Superior people also have authority – by definition, they are higher or better than normal people, right? But in the end, it's the speaker's own choice whether she wants to follow her father's advice and wants to have this kind of superiority.
Questions About Power
- What does the speaker's father mean by "superior"? In your own words, how would you characterize these superior people? Does the father present them positively, or is he being sarcastic?
- Do you think the speaker agrees with her father's description of how superior people behave?
- Do you imagine the speaker following her father's advice, or does she seem to question it? In other words, do you think she accepts her father's authority here, or does she challenge it?
- Why is the cat like superior people? Do superior people also have "mice" that they eat? Why, or why not?
Chew on This
When the speaker quotes from her father, she is not handing over the poem to him, but rather asserting her own authority. She takes his words and makes them her own, showing that she now has control over when and how her father's words are spoken.

Mountains to Molehills: 'Kids'
Published: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 18, 2014 at 2:52 p.m.
William Suber of Tryon is anxious for midterm elections, and if current members of Congress want his vote, they're going to have to grow up in a hurry. "It's absolutely ridiculous how they are running our government," says Mr. Suber. "We, however, elected them, so what does that say about us? They are acting like a bunch of kids on a playground. You know the type. A kid brings a ball to the playground, and they all want to play ball, but one group wants them to play by their rules."
QUIPS A WISE GUY: "Know what NASCAR and politicians have in common? Both attract the same intellect — people who are fascinated by watching things go around in circles."
'WHAT AN ENDEAVOR!': "Finished! Finally!" Those words were spoken by Kathy Ziprik upon completion of the fifth annual Puzzlefest at Mills River Presbyterian Church. "After 48 days, the longest time in our five-year history, Puzzlefest has come to a close," she reports. "These were two unbelievably hard puzzles. We call them the level 'I want to kill the person who ordered these puzzles' because every piece was the same size and same shape. What an endeavor! Thanks to everyone at Mills River Presbyterian Church and our local friends who came to help out!"
A BIT OF HUMOR from Larry Mobley of Hendersonville: A priest was being honored at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish. A leading local politician and member of the congregation was chosen to make the presentation and to give a little speech at the dinner. However, he was delayed, so the priest was asked to say a few words in the meanwhile. Not being prepared to speak then, he wondered for a minute and then decided to share his experience on the first day in the parish to highlight how one should not rush to conclusions. "I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here," he began. "I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it. He had stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his employer, had an affair with his boss' wife and took illegal drugs. I was appalled. But as the days went on, I learned that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people." Just as the priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of apologies at being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and gave his talk: "I'll never forget the first day our parish priest arrived," said the politician. "In fact, I had the honor of being the first person to confess to the priest."
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: The Environmental and Conservation Organization will present a water quality orientation and screening of the documentary film "Code Blue: Water in the Mountains" this evening starting at 6 in the Henderson County Public Library at 301 N. Washington St. in Hendersonville. Admission is free. The film was directed and produced by David Weintraub. The film highlights regional water quality issues and takes a tour of five watersheds, four counties in Western North Carolina and four businesses directly tied to high quality water: summer camps, fly-fishing, farming and whitewater kayaking. A question-and-answer period will follow. This orientation will provide an opportunity for people to learn about regional water quality issues as well as upcoming volunteer opportunities with ECO's bio-monitoring, chemical monitoring, Adopt-A-Stream programs and more. u Opportunity House, the arts-and-crafts cultural center in Hendersonville, is seeking volunteers for duties in its thrift store and at the front desk. If you have a couple of hours to spare, call 692-0575.

When I work on helping people identify the underlying reasons for their health conditions, a common factor among most people is weak adrenal glands. The adrenal glands do A LOT in the body, from controlling the rate of respiration and our heartbeat to playing a lead role in sugar metabolism, so it's important to keep them healthy. This weakness is visible in people's symptoms, physical features, as well as their iris pictures.
One of the issues I'm still working on is healing my adrenal glands. In 2008 and 2009, I decided to take cortisone shots to combat severe allergy issues, at the suggestion of my ENT. The two shots stopped the allergies temporarily, but also ended up severely weakening my adrenal glands (which were already pretty weak). Many of the issues I listed when describing my symptoms a few years ago, popped up or flared up after the doses of cortisone.
Below are some tips (courtesy of A Place To Heal) to help strengthen the adrenal glands. Remember that FEAR & STRESS are the top reasons the adrenal glands are weakened over time, so devising ways to deal with these emotions, is important for any health regimen.
1. Ensure you have at least 1.5 teaspoons of good ocean sea salt daily which is very important for the adrenal glands. Ocean sea salt provides proper amounts of sodium and chloride, which are two of the seven macro minerals required in higher amounts by the body.
2. Dry Skin Brushing daily to detoxify your adrenals. It is very effective in stimulating and decongesting the lymphatic system, and helps the liver and adrenal glands function better.3. Cup your hand and tap hard on the skin overlapping the adrenal glands for 2 minutes daily. Your adrenal glands are located just above the kidneys on either side of your body near your waist.
4. Stand in the shower with your back facing the spray, allowing it to beat down on your adrenals (just above your kidneys). Do this once a day for 3 minutes in the hottest water you can stand, followed by 30 seconds of the coldest water.
5. Do reflexology: The reflex points are located 2 inches above and 1 inch to the right side of the belly button, and also 1 inch to the left side of the belly button. Rub these two points vigorously for 1 minute 3 times a week. These spots will probably be tender if the adrenals are malfunctioning.
6. Thump your thymus gland to stimulate it. The thymus gland is an important part of Lymphatic System, which helps the body detoxify itself. It is located underneath the top of the breast bone. To thump it, use your knuckles and thump gently but firmly about 10 times in a row. Do this a few times a day to wake up your thymus gland.
7. Stay off medications containing cortisone and epinephrine. If you are taking them you need to wean yourself off of them gradually. They are extremely toxic/poisonous.
8. Get out in the fresh air and let fresh air circulate in your home. Air charged with "good" ions, called "negative ions", is healing to the adrenals. This kind of air is abundant in the forest and mountains, and at the seashore. Showers also provide these good ions.
9. Get plenty of sleep 8-9 hours a night.
10. Decrease stresses in your life as much as possible. During stressful times lie down and relax. Place your hands on your forehead over your eyebrows, and stay like that for 10 minutes.
11. Deep Breathing Exercises Help You Heal that are calming and relaxing, which switches your body over from running on its sympathetic nervous system (the fight/flight nervous system) to its healing parasympathetic nervous system, helps get your lymphatic system moving and improve your adrenals.

Record and controversies
Countrywide mortgage scandal
Senator Dodd was among the prominent politicians who may have received favorable mortgage deals from Countrywide, a mortgage lender at the heart of the current mortgage crises. According to an investigation conducted by Conde Nast's Portfolio, Countrywide's V.I.P program may have bent rules to offer Senator Dodd a better deal on his Washington town house and Connecticut home mortgages.
- Main article: Countrywide Mortgage Scandal
Iraq War
Dodd voted for the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq in Oct. 2002.
Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq and Afghanistan Security and Reconstruction Act
In 2003 Dodd offered an amendment to the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq and Afghanistan Security and Reconstruction Act, 2004, which added $322 million to the $300 million already appropriated towards the purchase of "high-tech body armor, bullet-proof helmets, special water packs to keep soldiers hydrated, and other survival gear." The amendment failed when it was tabled in a 49-37 vote.
- Main article: Congressional Actions Providing Body Armor to Troops
2007 Iraq resolutions
On January 16, 2007, Sen. Dodd introduced binding legislation which would cap U.S. troop levels in Iraq at 130,000 (the number of troops in Iraq at the time), this preventing President Bush from adding an additional 21,500.
In early February of 2007, Dodd, as well as Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.), threatened to oppose a newly drafted nonbinding resolution opposing George W. Bush's plans of troop escalation in Iraq, claiming that the language of the resolution was "weak." Both senators, however, supported an earlier draft. The newer draft was the result of bipartisan discussion and compromise in attempt to ensure that the resolution would pass. [1]
Environmental record
For more information on environmental legislation, see the Energy and Environment Policy Portal
Golden Leash Award
The Golden Leash Award was presented Dodd by Public Campaign, April 29, 1998:
- "The Golden Leash is a symbol of the ties between special interest money and elected officials. It is awarded to Members of Congress who demonstrate egregious conduct in the quid pro quo practice of dollar democracy.
- "This award serves as a reminder of Senator Dodd's acceptance of $910,304 in campaign cash from January 1993 to December 1997 from the Securities, Investment, Accounting and High-Tech Computer industries... Goldman, Sachs & Co., Morgan Stanley, Salomon Brothers and others donat[ed] $523,551 in PAC and individual contributions. The accounting industry - perhaps the biggest winners in the 1995 securities litigation reform law - donated $345,903 in PAC and individual contributions. This includes such giants as Price Waterhouse, Ernst & Young and Coopers & Lybrand, among others. Deloitte & Touche's contributions to Senator Dodd increased nearly five-fold from 1995 to 1996 soon after Congress passed the reform law the industry championed. The computer industry - a fairly new player in the campaign contribution field - ponied up $40,850 in contributions."
Public Campaign's report cites the following examples: Dodd was an original cosponsor of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and he helped to organize the Senate's override of President Clinton's veto. The National Securities Market Improvement Act which ultimately weakened oversight that would have protected investors. Dodd lined up as a cosponsor of the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act, an extension of the earlier securities litigation legislation. The bill was strongly supported by The Uniform Standards Coalition, an ad-hoc group of securities, accounting and high-tech computer firms.
Illegal fundraising - John Huang
Dodd was co-chair of the Democratic National Committee during the John Huang 1996-97 fundraising scandal, sometimes known as Chinagate. John Huang was described by the New York Times as "a former trade official who had been a top fund-raising officer at the Democratic National Committee and a frequent visitor to the White House."[2] Attorney General Janet Reno launched an investigation into solitcitation of questionable campaign contributions from Asia. In the end, The task force created to investigate campaign fund-raising irregularities during the 1996 U.S. elections secured criminal convictions against 17 people by 2001, with Huang eventually pleading guilty. Dodd was not among the investigated or indicted. [3]
According to the conservative organization Judicial Watch, Dodd was a recipient of funds raised by John Huang. [4].

President Bush's recess appointment of Sam Fox
President Bush appointed Sam Fox, who contributed $50,000 to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth in 2004, as Ambassador to Belgium. The recess appointment comes one week after Bush withdrew the nomination in the face of opposition organized by Sen. John Kerry. Dodd questioned the legal validity of the appointment, which the White House said would last until Congress adjourns at the end of 2008. Dodd said he would ask the General Accountability Office, the watchdog arm of Congress, to investigate the validity of Fox's recess appointment.
2008 presidential aspirations
On January 11, 2007, Dodd announced that he planned to seek the Democratic nomination for president in 2008. He announced on "Imus in the Morning," that "problems at home and abroad meant it was time for him to 'get out of the bleachers and onto the arena floor.'" He described himself as a "black horse" in a Democratic field dominated by presidential candidates like Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama. [5]
Former lobbyist Amos Hochstein, a key member of Dodd's campaign team, was until January 2007 managing Cassidy and Associates's controversial account for the government of Equatorial Guinea.[3][4] Despite President Teodoro Obiang's reputation as a corrupt tyrant, Hochstein remained an enthusiastic supporter. In April 2006 he told the Washington Post that Obiang had "...convinced me of his deep care for his people."[5]
On January 3, 2008, Dodd dropped out of the Presidential race after failing to get a single percentage point in the Democratic Iowa caucuses."[6]
- Main article: U.S. presidential election, 2008
Dodd was born May 27, 1944,in Willimantic, Connecticut. His father was Senator Thomas Joseph Dodd. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in English Literature from Providence College in 1966, Dodd served as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic until 1968. After leaving the Peace Corps, Dodd joined U.S. Army Reserve until 1975. In 1972, earned his J.D. from the University of Louisville. The following year, he was admitted to Connecticut bar, and began practicing law in New London.[6]
In 1974, Dodd was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Connecticut's second congressional district. He served from January 3, 1975 to January 3, 1981.
Dodd was first elected to the Senate in 1980. From 1995 to 1997, he served as General Chairman of the Democratic National Committee. As General Chairman, Dodd was the DNC's spokesman.
Dodd is married to Jackie Marie Clegg, a former director for the Export-Import Bank of the United States. On September 16, 2003, Clegg was appointed to the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT). On March 10, 2004 she was appinted for a further three-year term. [7] (Pdf)
Dodd is considered a supporter of the insurance industry. The trade magazine, Independant Agent, wrote in 1995: "Among others on Senate Banking, Sen. Paul S. Sarbanes of Maryland, the Senate Banking Committee's ranking Democrat, can be expected to take a skeptical approach to financial services modernization in general, while Sen. Christopher J. Dodd of Connecticut, the No. 2 Democrat," is a strong supporter of the insurance industry. In 2003, Dodd was honored at the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America as "Legislator of the Year."[8]

Here is a collection of user reviews for the medication Cleocin sorted by most helpful.
I was prescribed this medication after a root canal. The Dr. warned me of the side effects, which made me wonder why he prescribed it! I experienced stomach pains and loose bowls. I finished my week long prescription, and feel fine now.
Honestly I cant say if i know this has worked for me. I was given this to take after I had my wisdom teeth pulled. I started on another antibiotic days earlier but after serve issues with a problem tooth the dr switched me to this antibiotic. I dont know if its something else or this med but i have EXTREME skin irratation and breakouts. Itching and the bumps are white heads. I am done with this. I took 18 of the 28 this is enough for me. Plus they taste horrible and make me want to throw up. Yuck!

Longshoreman Boss Teddy Gleason Tells Soviet 'bullyboys' to Shape Up or Shipping's Out
Last year he organized a similar boycott against cargo to and from Iran, and it has stuck. "It's funny," observes Gleason, "nobody criticized us then. But all the apologists come out on Russia." Besides, he argues, "When Carter was running for President he said that Americans should participate in the decisions of government. That's what I'm doing." So far Gleason is getting away with it. His men, who have walked off their jobs three times in 11 years, are standing behind their leader just as firmly on anti-Communism as they have on dock issues.
Getting his Irish up is a way of life to Gleason, whose parents emigrated from the Emerald Isle. The oldest of 13 children, Gleason was born Thomas but his family switched to Teddy to avoid confusion with his father and grandfather. His childhood in Greenwich Village tenements was like a scene from On the Waterfront. His mother died when he was 13; two years later he followed his dad to the docks, working variously as a checker, billing clerk, winch driver, truck loader and timekeeper. In 1932 he was blackballed by stevedoring companies for supporting a wildcat strike and was reduced to hawking hot dogs on Coney Island. But when New Deal labor reforms got his job back, Gleason rose through the ILA ranks quickly, taking over as president in 1963. He stomps on reports of ILA links to organized crime, the recent convictions of several top union leaders notwithstanding. "If someone came to me and said, 'We're taking over,' " Gleason says, "I wouldn't stand for it."
He jokes about his age and boasts, "I feel like 40. I don't walk or act like a guy 79. It's unbelievable." He starts working at 7 a.m. "I wish I could go out to the docks every day," he says, "but I seldom get there." Instead, he meets tirelessly with union deputies and shipping bosses. "Nine out of 10 days," he says, "I eat a sandwich at my desk." From his office at Battery Park he can survey New York Harbor. On the wall is a plaque from the Irish Republican Army reading, "Thanks, from the boys."
Despite his $100,000 salary, Gleason's surroundings are strictly middle-class. A bachelor since his wife Emma died in 1961, he lives alone in a one-bedroom apartment in Lower Manhattan. Weekends he may spend with his three sons (a labor lawyer, a bonding company executive and an ILA legislative aide), 14 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Or else he heads for a house in New Jersey he bought for $3,700 in 1937. "I go up to the lake and put a sweater on and go to Mass," he says. "I don't have condominiums, and I never play golf." His late wife's sister takes care of the house. "She was never married," explains Gleason. "So I'm lucky: I don't have to get married to have a housekeeper." His one extravagance (besides manicures) is taking up to five trips a year to Ireland. During these vacations the normally teetotaling Gleason also puts back "a little cognac."
Like his hero, the late George Meany, Gleason points with pride to the changes he helped bring to his men. In his 64 years on the docks he has seen wages go from 350 an hour to $10.40. "The pay was so low," he recalls, "that once in a while longshoremen had to take home a few samples to survive. In my day, we carried bananas by the stalk," he continues while watching a containership unloading. "Today," he adds nostalgically, "everything is prepackaged."

This is a discussion on [News] Op-Ed: Microsoft OOXML a Dead Debate, OOXML Lost - Linux ; -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 OOXML (And Microsoft): In Memoriam ,----[ Qoute ] | So swiftly moving on, I really don't think OOXML is worth wasting much time | over any more. Even M$ it seems doesn't really want ...
Hash: SHA1
OOXML (And Microsoft): In Memoriam
,----[ Qoute ]
| So swiftly moving on, I really don't think OOXML is worth wasting much time
| over any more. Even M$ it seems doesn't really want IS29500. The rest of us
| really care little about it, especially now there are so many other avenues
| for preservation of our data and the world is finally starting to "grok" what
| Open really means.
Microsoft: 'ODF Has Clearly Won'
,----[ Quote ]
| The battle between the OpenDocument Format and Microsoft's Open Office XML
| was long, and here and there rather nasty, but it appears as if we finally
| have a winner. The company behind OOXML already conceded by announcing it
| would implement support for ODF in Office 2007 SP2, but now it has also said
| it quite literally: ODF has won.
Red Hat Summit panel: Who 'won' OOXML battle?
,----[ Quote ]
| "ODF has clearly won," said Stuart McKee, referring to Microsoft's recent
| announcement that it would begin natively supporting ODF in Office next year
| and join the technical committee overseeing the next version of the format.
Has OOXML Broken the British Standards Institution?
,----[ Quote ]
| That the BSI, long the quintessence of standards in this country, should see
| itself dragged through the courts over something as apparently minor as a
| document standard, is truly an extraordinary development. But of course it is
| not a minor issue: at stake is the question of how something as central to
| technology and business as standards should be decided. Unless people have
| complete confidence in the process, the end-result will be deemed worthless –
| truly, little more than a "rubber-stamping".
| A good start along the road of bolstering confidence would be making the
| standards-setting process completely open, which currently it is not. The
| practice of voting on an open standard behind closed doors borders is simply
| not justifiable in the age of the Internet and of increasing openness in
| general. And as the UK government loves to remind us: if you have nothing to
| hide, you have nothing to fear....
UK standards body taken to court over OOXML
,----[ Quote ]
| The British Standards Institution has been taken to court by a group of Unix
| users in an attempt to get the standards body to recant its approval of
| Microsoft's Office Open XML document format.
| The UK Unix & Open Systems User Group (UKUUG) said on Thursday that the
| British Standards Institution's (BSI's) controversial decision to vote for
| approval of OOXML in a recent International Organization for Standardization
| (ISO) ballot followed a flawed decision-making process.
BSI faces High Court challenge over OOXML U-turn
,----[ Quote ]
| OSC director Mark Taylor told The Register that the UKUUG and chums
| were "very confident that the BSI has a case to answer". He claimed
| that "they haven't followed procedures and we want them to explain their
| controversial actions".
| However, even if legal action against the BSI leads to the UK standards body
| being forced, in the form of mandatory orders, to withdraw its vote to the
| ISO, its impact could be muted.
| Taylor agreed: "Should the BSI be asked to remove its vote, that in itself
| probably won't change the outcome."
| He added that the group hopes to see individuals in other countries mount
| similar challenges against national standards bodies in order to force the
| ISO to "sit up and take notice".
EC probes OOXML standards-setting process
,----[ Quote ]
| A spokesman for the European Commissioner for Competition, Neelie Kroes, told
| The Register that regulators were continuing to scrutinise interoperability
| issues related to Microsoft's products following complaints from the
| Committee for Interoperable Systems (ECIS) group.
| As part of that process, the EC formally contacted a number of national
| standards bodies, including the Norwegian Standards Institute (NSI),
| requesting more details about possible irregularities in the OOXML
| standardisation process.
| [...]
| "It must be stressed that it is not the Commission's intention to influence
| the outcome of this process, but the Commission considers it essential to
| ensure that European competition law is not violated in the course of the
| standard setting process," he said in an email to El Reg.
| In January the EC began formal anti-trust probes against Microsoft in two
| cases where it was alleged that the multinational firm had abused its strong
| market position. As part of the investigation into the first case, the
| Commission said that it would scrutinise OOXML on the grounds that the
| specification doesn't work with those of competitors.

Edited by shreyal999, drumm, patil_kunal27, pranavbabbar. Log in to edit this page.
This community documentation guide is about changing the look and feel of a Drupal site. The guide covers Drupal 6 & 7 and Drupal 8.
Changing Site Appearance
In the administrative settings you can modify the appearance of the theme in three ways:
- Find a prefabricated theme provided by the Drupal community or get one on a third-party website and modify the theme settings.
- Copy an existing theme and then change or extend the code.
- Build a complete theme from scratch (For doing this you need to copy files from core theme and place it under sites/all/themes and do the necessary changes on .info, template, tpl and css files.).
What else can you do?
Themes make Drupal websites beautiful – and Themers are the bridge between the science of code and the art of design.
You can do more with a theme than change the appearance of an entire site. It is also possible to "theme" specific sections of a site, certain types of content, or even individual pages or a particular regions. For example, your theme could specify a different look for just the front page of your site or your theme could specify a different look for just the particular regions like sidebar first,header etc.
Some other things that you can do with a theme:
- Change layouts, regions, images and fonts.
- Hide or display fields based on user role.
- Dynamically respond to changes in content or user input.
- Modify or replace text (e.g. labels or attributes) and variables generated by modules.
- It's also possible to port open source designs between other systems (Joomla! templates, WordPress themes, etc.) and Drupal, or convert any website layout or template into a Drupal theme.
- Create a sub-theme. Your own version of a theme (existing or one that you create) that you can modify, while protecting the functionality of the original (base-theme) for update purposes creating a sub-theme.

Today, the world is rapidly becoming a dangerous place to live.
Modern society is awash in a tidal wave of threats from "Swine Flu" (i.e., H1N1)..."Bird Flu" (SARS)....West Nile virus..."Mad Cow" disease...viral "poxes" such as shingles, herpes and the new monkeypox...
...Not to mention AIDS...chronic fatigue syndrome...Epstein Barr... cytomegalovirus ...Lyme disease...virtually incurable hospital acquired infections...mutating pathogens...drug-resistant bacteria...flesh-eating microorganisms...infected meats, vegetables and fruits...killer strains of TB (now reaching epidemic proportions in our major cities)...and a host frightening new diseases being brought into this country by a flood of foreign travelers and immigrants (transferable to you by an innocuous sneeze or cough from an infected individual) --
-- and most sobering of all is the fact that even the most optimistic of experts admit the infectious disease problem in this country is going to get a lot worse before it ever gets better!
Making the World a Lot Safer Place to Live!
But The Ultimate Immune System Repair Manual makes the world a lot safer place to live for you and your family. It gives you the practical, completely do-able solutions you need right now in order to protect yourself in the face of today's growing plague of potentially deadly infectious illness and disease. Please understand that this blockbuster new 252-page manual is not a re-hash of the usual "eat right and take your vitamins" theme. Nor will it turn you into a bacteria-phobe or a hypochondriac. Instead, it is two important manuals in one:
First, it is an eye-opening expose' unlike anything you've ever read. It reveals the suppressed story of how modern medical science has unwittingly opened a Pandora's Box of virtually uncontrollable infectious illness and disease that now threatens mankind with the most tragic loss of life since the Black Plague of the 17th century. You'll learn who's largely responsible for today's growing tidal wave of infectious illness and disease, how it happened, how they've kept the truth so well hidden (until now), and most importantly, what you can do to protect yourself.
Secondly, The Ultimate Immune System Repair Manual brings you the very latest cutting-edge research on realistic methods you can use to effectively stave off many of today's most deadly microorganisms and infectious diseases -- without the use of harmful antibiotics, chemicals or drugs...without becoming a recluse ...and without resorting to unproven remedies or "quack" cures.
It brings you brand new information on simple, proven ways to boost the strength and vitality of your immune system many times over. It shows you new methods for literally reversing age-related immune system deterioration. And it brings you full details on the proven new all-natural solutions and cures that in many cases work better than antibiotics to protect you against infectious microorganisms and disease. You'll learn the latest scientific data on a number of phenomenal life-saving remedies and cures, including how and where to get them for yourself inexpensively, and without a prescription!
Additionally, The Ultimate Immune System Repair Manual reveals the hidden, little-known reasons why age-related immune system deterioration is now so widespread. You'll learn the dirty little secrets you're not being told by your doctor, or even by government health authorities who are sworn to protect your health. And you'll discover many of the things you are unwittingly doing to damage your own immune system, and how you can repair most of the damage yourself, before it's too late.
Gives You A Decided Advantage Over Everyone Else...
In short, The Ultimate Immune System Repair Manual gives you a decided advantage over virtually everyone you know in regards to the latest techniques for protecting yourself and your family in this "Era of Strange Diseases," and for turning your body's immune system into a nearly impenetrable shield against illness, disease and infectious microorganisms. For example, you'll learn...
As you can see, The Immune Manual: How to Survive Today's Era of Strange Diseases With Your Health and Immune System Intact is no ordinary health manual. Instead, it is a unique and extraordinary new guide distilled from reams of powerful, life-saving information that is simply unavailable through any conventional published source. Much of it has been culled from the files of leading health investigators and independent practitioners working on the cutting edge of medical science. And much of this crucial information has been suppressed by powerful medical interests who do not want you to know the full story behind today's plague of deadly infectious illnesses and diseases. That's why you simply won't find this invaluable information in your local newspaper, your favorite health magazine, or even on ABC, CBS or NBC. The Immune Manual not only gives you the full inside story, it also reveals the important new solutions, innovations and proven breakthroughs that can keep you alive when nothing orthodox medical science has to offer will!
Most importantly, you'll be able to protect yourself and your family from today's growing scourge of infectious illness and disease. You'll be able to dramatically boost the vitality and effectiveness of your immune system many times over, and even reverse age-related immune system deterioration. Plus, you'll learn the latest and most effective solutions and strategies for protecting yourself against today's plague of deadly pathogenic microorganisms -- at home, in the office, and in public!
How to Get a Copy of This Potentially Life-Saving New Manual at Nearly 50% Off!
I can assure you that because of the unorthodox and suppressed nature of the crucial information this manual contains, it will probably never be available at any price through conventional publishing channels. Simply stated, The Ultimate Immune System Repair Manual is too hot for commercial publication. It steps on too many toes, destroys too many popular medical myths, reveals too many secrets the medical bureaucracy does not want you to know, and gives you too much power over your own destiny, your own health and your own well-being.
Which is exactly why it is vital for you to have this potentially lifesaving new manual right away!
Although The Ultimate Immune System Repair Manual is designed to sell for $129 with limited distribution, we've gone to great lengths to bring it to the American public at a steeply reduced rate, for a limited time only. (More on the steeply discounted price in just a moment.)
Please believe me when I tell you that the invaluable new information contained in this fully documented new 252-page manual could literally save your life, or the life of someone you love.
Considering the near total inaccessibility of this type of information through normal public channels, the vast number of specific highly-actionable "how-to" protective techniques for boosting your body's immune system and reversing age-related immune deterioration, and the proven solutions and strategies it reveals for staving off even the most deadly of infectious microorganisms and diseases in this new "Era of Strange Diseases" in which we live, the normal price of $129 is certainly legitimate -- even a bargain.
After all, this little-known, suppressed information could literally save your life. In today's "Era of Strange Diseases" (in which even the doctors are now throwing up their hands in exasperation), this potentially life-saving new information is certainly worth having at any price.
Nevertheless, by purchasing an entire print run of this manual, we are able to make it available to you at the steeply discounted price of only $69. By ordering now, while this unique new manual is still available at the steeply discounted price, you'll save nearly 50% from the regular retail price of $129, , and you'll gain an entire lifetime's worth of potentially life-saving knowledge that could spare you or someone you love from untold misery due to a deadly infectious illness or disease. You'll learn how you may be unwittingly damaging your own immune system and setting yourself up for infection and disease, plus what you can do to reverse the situation and repair the damage...You'll learn the simple techniques, strategies and solutions for boosting the strength and effectiveness of your immune system many times over, and for reversing age-related immune deterioration...And you'll learn about the powerful new all-natural solutions and cures that in many cases work better than antibiotics against pathogenic microorganisms and the diseases they cause.
In short, you'll gain invaluable knowledge that will give you tremendous health benefits on a daily basis for the rest of your life, and that could literally save your life in a time of crisis.
Look, there's just no way to put a dollar value on your health...no way to put a dollar value on being able to protect yourself and your family against the deadly new bacteria and viruses orthodox medicine is virtually helpless against...and no way to put a dollar value on the peace of mind you'll gain in the face of today's growing plague of infectious illness and disease. The steeply discounted price of only $69 is a small price to pay, indeed, for such tremendous and difficult-to-obtain life-long health benefits.
Of course, if you're unconcerned about today's growing epidemic of drug-resistant pathogenic microorganisms and the strange (and often deadly) diseases they are ushering in...if you're content to do nothing to boost your own immune system in the face of today's flood of new infectious illnesses and diseases...if dramatically slowing and even reversing age-related immune system deterioration is simply not a priority for you...then trust me when I say this manual is not for you.
But if you're willing to invest the time it takes to read this manual and implement even a few of the powerful ideas it reveals in order to help protect your health, boost your immunity and greatly enhance your body's ability to defeat infectious illness and disease, then please let me hear from you right away. There are only a limited number of these in-depth 252-page manuals available at the steeply discounted price of $69, and they will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis only. Please act within the next 72 hours to assure yourself a copy.
To order by credit card, simply call toll-free: 1-888-846-9029 (M-F, 9am-5pm AZ time)
(NV residents must include 6.75% sales tax or the order cannot be processed.)
P.S. Please be sure to act quickly and decisively in order to reap the special, nearly 50% savings being offered. Once the entire print run is sold out, the price of The Ultimate Immune System Repair Manual returns to $129 per copy. This truly is a very special once-in-a-lifetime savings offer that will pay for itself many times over, for years to come. Act now, while copies are still available at this steeply discounted price.

"Great Location Great Views"
22nd November 2012, smandkjc, New Zealand
We went with our daughter and her partner and stayed in two partially over water rooms and were pleasantly surprised with them. Unfortunately our room did have a couple of problems that affected the sleep quality but management did try to sort them out with partial success.It did mean however that we got an early start and swam to and around the Private Island before breakfast one morning which was a bonus.We were offered another room but the view was so good we did not want to move.We thought the food was not expensive and had a really good range on offer.The Latitude 61 restaurant however always managed to charge main prices when we ordered the entree /starter and it took 5 attempts to get the bill correct on one occasion.We preferred to eat at the Hurricane bar were we were only overcharged once in a 7 night stay.The Eco Tour swim with the rays and sharks was great and we got several rides on the Lemon Sharks. We normally prefer to do our own thing and see the sharks in a more natural environment but the shark rides were great fun.Our daughter had no problems with her room so ours were isolated problems.We would definitely recommend Sofitel BoraBora either Marara resort or the Private Island.View management response »

"Good value in bora bora"
11th July 2011, madrid
sofitel is a good option to stay in bora bora at a luxury hotel without breaking the bank. Location is good to explore the main island without need of a transfer. Small beaches, not perfect in orientation (sun goes down too early), but suffecient to have a bora bora experience.Room very comfortable. Toilet too small, some problem with bugs, but nothing too dramatic.During the same trip also stayed at four seasons bora bora... Much, much better, but accordingly more expensive. If you can afford, difference is justified and four seasons more recommended... But sofitel is good value for money and a very memorable place.

Stay on the Marara Beach part of Sofitel if you stay here. Limited staff and dining on the island. Not far to the mainland, but still a bit of a hassle since almost no service on the island. Do not pay extra for the romance package with in room breakfast if on the island as it does not happen.
"Absolute Bliss"
15th May 2011, Sydney
Arriving in our own private plane (66 seat Air Tahiti Niu!) and then being whisked across the lagoon in the hotel launch was a very good start... Our bungalow was spacious, comfortable, clean, had great views, and many colourful fish below. The bar is very well situated and great for cocktails. The best thing about the Sofitel is the location - you can walk to a small supermarket, a lovely beach, 4 or 5 restaurants, and even the Intercontinental where we had a scrumptious lunch or two. Would definately return.

Auburn quarterback Cameron Newton (2) celebrates with teammate Nick Fairley following the Tigers' 28-27, come-back win against Alabama on Friday in the Iron Bowl.
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) -- Lombardi Award winner Nick Fairley is skipping his senior season at Auburn to enter the NFL draft.
The potential No. 1 overall draft pick announced his decision Friday at his old high school in Mobile. He says he didn't make up his mind until a few hours earlier.
Fairley says there wasn't much left for him to accomplish at Auburn after helping lead the Tigers to a national championship.
Fairley was the defensive MVP in the BCS title game against Oregon. He had a sack, three tackles for a loss and a forced fumble. He also led the Southeastern Conference with 24 tackles for a loss and had a school-record 11.5 sacks.
Fairley played two seasons at Auburn after transferring from junior college.

Previous GeneCards Identifiers for ATP5E Gene
Summaries for ATP5E Gene
This gene encodes a subunit of mitochondrial ATP synthase. Mitochondrial ATP synthase catalyzes ATP synthesis, utilizing an electrochemical gradient of protons across the inner membrane during oxidative phosphorylation. ATP synthase is composed of two linked multi-subunit complexes: the soluble catalytic core, F1, and the membrane-spanning component, Fo, comprising the proton channel. The catalytic portion of mitochondrial ATP synthase consists of 5 different subunits (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon) assembled with a stoichiometry of 3 alpha, 3 beta, and a single representative of the other 3. The proton channel consists of three main subunits (a, b, c). This gene encodes the epsilon subunit of the catalytic core. Two pseudogenes of this gene are located on chromosomes 4 and 13. Read-through transcripts that include exons from this gene are expressed from the upstream gene SLMO2.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
GeneCards Summary for ATP5E Gene
ATP5E (ATP Synthase, H+ Transporting, Mitochondrial F1 Complex, Epsilon Subunit) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with ATP5E include mitochondrial complex iii deficiency, nuclear type 5 and isolated atp synthase deficiency. Among its related pathways are Metabolism and Respiratory electron transport, ATP synthesis by chemiosmotic coupling, and heat production by uncoupling proteins.. GO annotations related to this gene include ATPase activity and proton-transporting ATPase activity, rotational mechanism. An important paralog of this gene is ATP5EP2.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for ATP5E Gene
Mitochondrial membrane ATP synthase (F(1)F(0) ATP synthase or Complex V) produces ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton gradient across the membrane which is generated by electron transport complexes of the respiratory chain. F-type ATPases consist of two structural domains, F(1) - containing the extramembraneous catalytic core, and F(0) - containing the membrane proton channel, linked together by a central stalk and a peripheral stalk. During catalysis, ATP synthesis in the catalytic domain of F(1) is coupled via a rotary mechanism of the central stalk subunits to proton translocation. Part of the complex F(1) domain and of the central stalk which is part of the complex rotary element. Rotation of the central stalk against the surrounding alpha(3)beta(3) subunits leads to hydrolysis of ATP in three separate catalytic sites on the beta subunits (By similarity).

ANZ Frequent Flyer Black Ad
Qantas will put an Apple iPad 2 in every seat on planes in its domestic Boeing 767 fleet, using wireless streaming to beam movies, TV shows and music to the tablets.
The airline's 'Q Streaming' system, which was trialled on a single aircraft earlier this year, will be rolled out across the 767 fleet, with the devices offered free of charge to travellers in business and economy.
The 767s lack individual per-seat video for passengers: there's just a few small screens in the bulkhead and hanging from overhead.
Qantas says the first Boeing 767 with the new system will roll out in the fourth quarter of this year and will predominantly operate on east coast 'triangle' routes between Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, as well as the five-hour trek to Perth.
However, it seems that the iPads won't make their way across the Red Roo's entire 21-stong Boeing 767 fleet.
When Australian Business Traveller sought clarification on how many aircraft would be fitted with the technology, a Qantas spokesperson told us that while the airline "plans to roll out Q Streaming across the B767 fleet, we'll continue to review retirement options for some of the B767s and will have a definitive number in due course."
All passengers on an iPad-equipped 767 will find an iPad 2 sitting in their seat-back pocket, while those in business class will also get a flexible stand which can be used on the fold-down meal tray.
The planes will carry one tablet for every seat, with several spares on hand.
A special 'Q Streaming' app loaded onto the iPad act as the front-end for 'on demand' content broadcast from a central server on the aircraft.
Qantas says the iPads are "locked down", bypassing Apple's normal home screen and booting straight into the Q Streaming app.
Video: Q Streaming in action
Earlier this year Australian Business Traveller took to the skies to try Q Streaming in the trial, which used technology provided by Lufthansa Systems.
Although Qantas has opted to roll out Q Streaming using a different platform provided by Panasonic, the basics of streaming content via WiFi to the iPad will remain the same, although some aspects such as the look and feel of the Q Streaming app will change.
The video below, and the photos and report which follow, are based on the original Lufthansa Systems' implementation of Q Streaming.
How Q Streaming works
When switched on, the iPad launches straight into a welcome screen which hides all standard iPad apps and exposes only the Q Streaming app.
To connect to the 767's Q Streaming network and content server, enter your seat number.
Each iPad connects to one of five wireless access points, fitted in ceiling compartments running down the right side of the cabin.
For the technically-inclined, each hotspot uses a dual-band 802.11n WiFi box which Qantas says can handle all 254 passengers watching the same program at the same time while enjoying smooth playback.
The access points work just like the wireless hotspot in a cafe or hotel, although as these are password-protected you can't log onto them with your own tablet or laptop.
However, the Qantas-supplied iPads have all been preset with the network password and WiFi is activated on startup, for instant hassle-free connection to the network and the server. (And even if you could get onto the network you'd need special software to access the Q Streaming system.)
The Q Streaming app's clean and elegant interface is very iPad.
Content is divided content into four categories – TV, music, prerecorded radio-style programming plus shows to keep the kids occupied.
Of course there's rooms for additional types of content such as movies, ebooks, games and travel information, along with interactive features like in-seat ordering of food, drinks and (on international flights) duty-free shopping.
None of the in-flight videos or music is stored on the iPads – everything is sent from a 'content server' system located under the floor near the cockpit.
This mini-computer has a pair of identical 500GB solid state drives, each of which contains all the in-flight programming so that even if one drives fails the Q Streaming system will keep running.
The Feedback tile launches a survey to poll passenger opinion on the system, as well as what types of technology they usually travel with and other content they'd like added in future.
Some of the Q Streaming menus run several layers deep: for example, tapping TV reveals programming categories such as documentaries, comedy, drama and travel.
Tap any of these and you can see the specific shows on offer.
Another tap takes you to a list of available episodes for each TV series.
In most cases there's also a synopsis screen describing the show.
It's all very much what you'd expect on a conventional in-flight entertainment system, but done with simple taps and swipes and delivered right into your hands.
Transparent on-screen controls let you pause, forward and rewind video as well as manually 'scrub' forwards or backwards to specific points in the programme.
This control panel appears when you tap the screen and fades away a few seconds after being used.
The selection of MP3 music works much the same was TV shows: choose an album, click play, then sit back and listen.
Speaking of listening… if you find yourself on the Q Streaming 767, do your ears a favour and plug your standard iPod or iPhone earbuds into the headphone jack (either of the two sockets will do, because both carry stereo).
You'll be rewarded with richer, crisper and punchier sound compared to the Qantas-supplied headphones, even though these are the same 'noise-reducing' headphones as seen on trans-Tasman and coast-to-coast flights.
(Also, don't try to remove the double-prong headphone adaptor: it's glued to the iPad to ensure the tablet's own speaker is disabled.)
If you're sitting in economy, the tricky bit is trying to fit the iPad onto your tray table at the same as any meal or snack. Even thought the case doubles as a back-folding stand it's a very tight fit.
Passengers at the pointy end have things a bit easier, as they can fold back the case's cover and slide it into the seat-back pocket so that the iPad hangs down.
It's far from an ideal fix but once again, this is trial & testing territory and Qantas is already well aware of this situation – it will be interesting to see how the final Q Streaming system differs from these trials, and we'll being you a hands-on report on the new technology when it's rolled out towards the end of this year.

About Patents:
The International Patent Classification (IPC) is a hierarchical system in which the whole area of technology is divided into a range of sections, classes, subclasses and groups. This system is indispensable for the retrieval of patent documents in the search for establishing the novelty of an invention or determining the state of the art in a particular area of technology. US Patent Classification UPC classify a patent according to all information in patent specification while IPC classify a patent according to only patent claims. UPC stresses on the function of intrinsic characteristics of product or processing.
As IPC or UPC are not viable in themselves for assigning an invention to an industry, because they focus specifically on the technology, not on industries that may manufacture or use the technology, it is necessary to assign inventions to industries.
We have undertaken a concordance (matching) of IPC (International Patent Classification ) and (US Patent Classification) UPC to NAICS (North American Industrial Classification System -this new, uniform, industry-wide classification system has been designed as the index for statistical reporting of all economic activities of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico). This extensive exercise assigns patent classifications to industries based on NAICS codes. The results are summarized in the following categories:
- Primary Industries: Agribusiness, Fishing and Forestry, Mining
- Secondary Industries: Construction, Food & Accessory Manufacturing, Metal & Machinery Manufacturing, Electronic Goods Manufacturing, Miscellaneous Manufacturing
- Tertiary Industries: Wholesale & Retailing, Transportation, Services
- Quarternary & Quinary Industries: Information & Research, Health & Education, Cultural & Entertainment, Personal & Others

One Dead, Four Injured in Brighton Beach Building Collapse
Updated at 12:10 a.m.
By Sean Gardiner and Pervaiz Shallwani
One worker died and four were injured in a Brooklyn building collapse Tuesday, the Associated Press reported. The collapse occurred after fresh concrete was improperly poured on the third floor before the second floor.
New York City's buildings commissioner vowed to take quick action against those responsible for the gaff at the Brighton Beach construction site, which left one of the injured workers in critical condition.
"We were able to determine that they were placing the concrete in the wrong sequence, and we believe that that is a major contributor to this collapse," said Department of Buildings Commissioner Robert D. LiMandri. "What we believe happened today was that they started from the top and worked their way down."
Robert Approbato, a 53-year-old worker for Stillwell Ready Mix, confirmed that workers finished the third floor before he started pumping concrete from his mixing truck up through tubes to the second floor of a building at 2929 Brighton 5th Street. He said workers were just about finished laying the second floor when "the building just gave way."
"It just came right down," he said. "It didn't give a warning. It just buckled."
Approbato said he saw "one of the construction workers trying to run and the whole thing…started coming down like thunder. I saw slabs just come buckling down and then the screaming and the yelling."
The collapse happened just before 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday. New York City Fire Capt. William Gallagher said he and four other firefighters from Ladder 169 were the first to arrive, about three or four minutes later. They found the floors of the five-story building had collapsed in what he described as a V-shape.
"Some of the workers came out screaming that their co-workers were trapped," Gallagher said.
Two of the workers had managed to get out. Another man was visible but trapped up to his chest in debris and slushy concrete. Gallagher said the firefighters could hear two other workers who were trapped beneath the rubble screaming for help. Dozens of firefighters eventually arrived, and the three trapped men were freed.
Fire officials said one of the men was in cardiac arrest during the rescue, and he was in critical condition at Coney Island Hospital on Tuesday night. Three others were taken to Lutheran Medical Center in serious condition. One worker was treated at the scene and released.
None of the workers' identities were immediately released.
LiMandri, the buildings commissioner, said his department will be investigating the contractor, superintendent of construction and the engineer. He said investigators will be taking the wreckage apart piece by piece to do a "forensic engineering analysis."
Building officials said there were no open complaints at the building site.
On Wednesday morning demolition contractors will secure the structure, LiMandri said.
Records show that what was previously a vacant lot at Brighton 5th Street between Brighton 3rd Court and Brighton 4th Walk was permitted for new construction in January for a residential apartment building. In July, SP&K Construction of Brooklyn started work at the site.
Officials at that company did not return calls seeking comment.

By Ben Sherman, Fort SillJune 21, 2012
The Fort Sill Warrior Transition Unit celebrated the Army's 237th birthday in a special way June 14. They combined the birthday celebration with a cookout for wounded warriors and their families in observance of Father's Day.
"So many of our families are remote - Tulsa, Oklahoma City and outlying areas, and they don't get to come to Fort Sill a whole lot. We felt this gave them the motivation to come in, pick their Soldier up and have a long weekend in appreciation of Father's Day," Capt. Mike Carroll, WTU commander said.
The cookout was held on the patio area between the new WTU command center and the new Soldier and Family Assistance Center, or SFAC. Both organizations worked together to make the cookout possible.
SFAC's purpose is to provide services that aid and equip wounded warriors in making life-changing decisions as they either transition back to duty or to a civilian life.
"We are able to work together better now that the SFAC and the WTU are located together. It makes it a more cohesive unit," said Mary Ellen Saur, SFAC director. "With the new barracks coming on-line soon, it will improve even more. The whole flow of care is much more conducive to the Soldiers finding all of the resources in one place."
The cookout drew more than 100 Soldiers, spouses and their families together to enjoy the sunshine, and chow down on hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and soft drinks. There were organized games for the kids, plus face painting and family photo sessions with a big stuffed Elmo inside the SFAC.
Sgt. Spencer Skipworth enjoyed having his family at his side for the event.
"The cadre cooked for us and had gifts for the kids and stuff. It's nice because now, if you have SFAC or family readiness group business, and you also need to see your nurse-case manager or need to see the first sergeant, they are all in one area. You're not running all over Fort Sill like we were before," he said.
Skipworth served with C Company, 1-179th Infantry and was wounded in Kalagush, Afghanistan, in 2011. He came to the Fort Sill WTU in February of this year. He said Soldiers don't have to try and find somebody at Building 4700 or at Reynolds Army Community Hospital now because everybody is in one area.
Skipworth's wife shared his excitement about the cookout and the new facilities.
"It's nice to be able to come down here and be around everyone and see all of the big changes that have been made down here," said Krey Skipworth. "Events like this help Soldiers to be closer to their families."
For a long time the SFAC was separated from the WTU. It was often difficult for Soldiers and their family members to receive assistance with education and employment counseling, transition and separation guidance and Veterans Affairs issues. Now with the new facility, Soldiers can receive the help they need.
"It's all centralized now - one-stop shopping. Soldiers can bring their spouse and children when they come for an appointment, and the kids can play in the playroom," said Staff Sgt. Charles Baker, a cadre leader for the WTU. "Now you can walk through the new SFAC center on a daily basis and you will see four or five Soldiers sitting there reading, studying or just talking. It's getting a lot more use."
One area that reflects how the WTU and SFAC have become integrated is in the REALifelines program which assists wounded Soldiers and family members with employment issues as they transition out of the military. Sarah Carlson directs the program.
"My program is part of the WTU because of the career connection, but I'm located in the new SFAC building. That's because I can assist more than the Soldiers, I can assist their family members as well. That's our connection to the Soldiers and Family Assistance programs, because the career issues impact the entire family," Carlson said.
Carroll expressed his appreciation for SFAC, which is part of the Morale, Welfare and Recreation directorate.
"The services that Mary Ellen Saur and the SFAC offers are amazing. She is definitely a force multiplier for all of the WTU. She helps point the squad leaders in the right direction and gets them going. Quite frankly we couldn't do our job without the SFAC and the services they give us," said Carroll. "Just the fact that we have an SFAC and it's manned at any level is a testament to the support that MWR gives to the Warrior Transition Unit. As we become more integrated with the SFAC, thanks to the new facility and our proximity to them, we're learning about more opportunities that MWR provides for us. We're getting to give them the credit that they deserve."
The new SFAC center is located right next to the WTU command center and the new, soon-to-be-opened WTU barracks. The concept is to provide as much of an "at home" feeling as possible for the Soldiers.
Baker summed up the feelings of the wounded warriors. "It will never be exactly like their home, but it's a place for troops to come and relax and get things done. The Soldiers I talk to really like the new center."
