He claimed he worked on an off shore rig and could only communicate via e mail due to poor weather. He wanted to pay for this through PayPal (sight unseen, only pics) and was sending the transportation payment through Western Union.
Because he could not conduct business over the phone to Western Union, he requested help from us and asked us to go to the closest W.U. store and confirm the payment.
During this time I received an email from "PayPal" stating this. There were a lot of grammatical errors in this letter, so I got a bit suspicious. I didn't think PayPal would send out such an unprofessional letter. I called PayPal and gave them the confirmation number on the e mail, they looked it up and found no such number.
I reported this to them and an e mail from PayPal (a real e mail from Pay Pal) came back stating that it was a phishing scam at identity theft. I also reported to Craigslist fraud department. I also tried warning Craigslist sellers, but they flagged it and pulled my ad. Hummm
below are the e mail addresses attached to the scam:

McDermott made Oldham striker Matt Smith his first summer acquisition earlier this month and is happy to have added another transfer target to his ranks, although the mystery man will not be revealed until next week.
"I've got a verbal agreement with one player which will happen next week," McDermott told the club's official website.
"As far as I'm concerned that agreement is a deal so that will be done."

"The problem is this is so politically incorrect. The public is still dealing with the pre-Roe ethic when it comes to men, that if a man fathers a child, he should accept responsibility."
Related quotes
"We continue to believe that Roe was wrongly decided and should be overruled. .... The court's conclusions in Roe that there is a fundamental right to an abortion and that government has no compelling interest in protecting prenatal human life throughout pregnancy find no support in ... the Constitution."
"Once it is established that some lives are less valuable and less meaningful than other lives (as happened in Roe), the rest is merely who's next and how quickly we can move forward with the disposal process."
"I don't necessarily endorse it as a strategy to overturn Roe _ it does not look as if the votes are there (on the high court)."
"She's an inkblot -- the last person who is going to look at Roe v. Wade and say, 'the reasoning is flawed,' and tell us why, ... She'll just follow the path of every justice in the last 25 years who comes to the bench without a developed philosophy and ends up in the liberal camp. People whose intellect is as thin and dubious as hers will be too intellectually timid to challenge orthodoxy."

It's extremely hard to narrow this down to just one, I know. Vince Carter had a ton of ridiculous ones, most notably when he jumped over the 7' French player in the Olympics. But, for whatever reason, my favorite in-game dunk of all time is Tom Chambers on Mark Jackson:
When you watch it in slo-mo, you can see he continues rising even after contact. He took off from the foul line circle and by the time he dunks it, his head looks to be above the rim.
It doesn't have to be the most physically amazing dunk, but what dunk resonates in your mind?
It has to be the backboard shattering dunk of SHAQ DIESEL. OH MY!!!!!
MJ over Ewing after reverse spin move on the baseline
Hah, this is awesome!
shaq or d wade. shaq cause he broke da backboard in the middle of da game. and d wade because he is just plain sick!!!
I'd say the dwyane wade dunk against Anderson Varejo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSA_Di2vliU
Julius Erving windmill on Michael Cooper
Either Scottie Pippen over Patrick Ewing
Or Lebron James over Damon Jones
The Pippen one is good, but I can't stand the poor sportsmanship afterward where he throws a little forearm shiver and then stands over Ewing.

growthink's private placement memorandum 'division' is not good. There is no attorneys that review the documents. I showed the PPM to my securities attorney and he literally tore it up and said i would be sued if i gave it to investors. My attorney likes to charge $30k for a PPM, but growthink's fee was half this, thats why i went with them. There business plans are good, but i feel that they overcharge for the PPM, espeically since no lawyers review it. Jeff Jones is in charge of the PPM writing but he is not familiar with securities laws, just generic law. I am not one to complain on the internet about poor work, but i feel i have no choice but to report this.
growthink's PPM is not worth it. Great company, but they are pretty much new at PPMs and now i have to pay my overpriced attorney to fix the whole thing.

Skill Level Beginner
Whenever you make a map, you're abstracting information about the real world and placing it on to a flat plane such as a computer screen or a piece of paper. Since the planet earth isn't flat, some distortions of the data will inevitably occur during the transformation process. These show up as distortions of area, shape, direction, distance, and scale. Various map projections try to minimize the distortions, but no projection can eliminate all distortions at once. Coordinate systems, on the other hand, are how we locate a point on the Earth. Typically, we think of the latitude and longitude values of a GPS receiver as being the coordinates of a place.
But it's only been in the last few years that GPS coordinates have been so easy to obtain. There are many other ways to locate a point. The state plane coordinate system, for example, was designed to make surveying easier. Measuring the number of feet north and east of a standard location that was used state wide. An in-depth review of the math behind these complex geographic transformations is well beyond the scope of this course. For now, though, it's good just to know that ArcMap has built in support for lots of different projections, and that it can usually transform your data on the fly between the various systems.
Now, this map that I have on the screen now is currently in the WGS84 coordinate system that is used by GPS receivers. We can change the projection by double clicking on the layers reference map here. And visiting the Coordinate System tab of the data frame properties. Now, I'm going to go up to the very top and I'm going to collapse the geographic coordinate system folder and expand the projected coordinate systems to take a look in here. Let's go ahead and scroll down and I'll open up the world folder and within that I'm going to scroll down and I'm going to find the Mercator projection here.
And go ahead and say Apply. Let's go ahead and move the Data Frame properties window out of the way so we can see the updated map. Now, the Mercator projection distorts the surface of the Earth in such a way as to create a map where straight lines represent lines of constant compass bearing. This is great if you're trying to sail a ship in the 1500s, but it does this at the expense of creating highly distorted land masses at higher latitudes. The classic example is to look at the size of Greenland up here, and compare it to the size of Africa here. In the Mercator projection, Greenland looks to be about the same size as Africa, but in reality, Africa is about 14 times bigger than Greenland.
Now, for a long time, the National Geographic Magazine used Robinson projection in order to reduce the distortion in world maps. Let's go ahead and take a look at what that looks like. I'm going to go back to the Data Frame properties. And I'm still in the World folder. I'm going to scroll down and find the Robinson projection here and press Apply again. And the map will update back here. Let's go ahead and move this out of the way again, so we can see the updates. So, this is what the world looks like in the Robinson projection. National Geographic has since shifted to the Winkel tripel projection in order to further reduce distortion. Let's go ahead and take a look at that one.
Let's scroll down. And let's use Winkel tripel. And press Apply, and once again, the map updates again. Now, for larger scale maps, you're better-suited to use a projection that's designed for the specific area that you're interested in. Let's go ahead and close the data frame properties for a moment, and I'm going to go up to my bookmarks and choose the United States bookmark. And you can see that this probably isn't a good way to represent the United States. It has this very slanted appearance here. Let's go ahead and change our projection so that it's one that's suitable for this map. Go ahead and double click on the layers again and this time I'm going to scroll up I'm going to close the world folder and I'm going to scroll up a little further until I find a continental folder here and inside of that I'll go to North America and I'm going to choose the Lambert Conformal Conic and scroll down.
I'll go ahead and press Apply and it's going to warn me that it's going to go through a geographic coordinate system transformation. We'll go ahead and say Yes, we'll accept this change, and the map updates in the background. I'll move this out of the way again. Now you can see that this projection gives the traditional bowed look to the United States. Let's go ahead and take another look at a closer view. I'll close the data frame properties once again and this time I'm going to use my zoom magnifier to zoom into the state of Washington here. Now, you can see that the state of Washington appears slanted and so this probably isn't a projection that's suited for that.
For state maps, there's individual state reference grids that can be utilized. Let's go back into the Layers property here. And the coordinate system. Once again I'm going to scroll up, close out North America and close out continental. And this time I'm going to open up the folder called state plane here. And I'm going to choose the NAD83 US feet coordinate system. And now we can see that we have different coordinate systems that are set up for each state. I'm going to scroll down until I get to the Washington group. And here I'm going to choose this one here, this NAD83 state plane Washington south.
Go ahead and press Apply, go ahead and accept the transformation warning, and we'll say OK. This creates a map that all but eliminates the distortion from Washington state, and orients the map so that it is balanced across the page. Now, if we zoom out to a world view again, we'll see that it's definitely not suited for a world map. So understanding the complex nature of the various projection systems that you'll come across, when exploring geospatial data, is a key component to becoming proficient in ArcGIS. There's lots of different pre-defined systems to choose from. But probably only a couple that apply to your particular part of the world.

EuroBusiness Media (EBM): BNP Paribas, one of Europe's largest banks reports results for the first quarter of 2013. Jean-Laurent Bonnafé welcome, what are your comments on the Group's performance in the first quarter?
Jean-Laurent Bonnafé: In the first quarter BNP Paribas reported a net income at Group level of 1.6 billion Euros despite a challenging economic context in Europe. I remind you that the first quarter 2012 represented a high comparison base and also included significant one-off elements such as the sale of a stake in Klépierre. This quarter the impact of one-off items was negligible.
> Revenues of the operating divisions were resilient in Retail Banking and Investment Solutions while CIB had a transitional quarter.
> Operating expenses were reduced at Group level, especially in CIB, in Personal Finance and in the Domestic Markets.
> Cost of risk marked a slight increase of 3.5% in the first quarter at Group level, confirming our strong risk management.
Overall, pre-tax income of the operating divisions decreased by 8% as compared with the first quarter 2012, still negatively impacted by the effects of the adaptation plan on CIB.
Deposit growth continued in all the networks with the Domestic Markets and Retail overall showing growth rates above 6% compared to the first quarter last year. In parallel, Corporate
Banking deposits in CIB increased by 14% reaching 57 billion Euros at the end of March.
In the first quarter, BNP Paribas confirmed very strong solvency and liquidity positions. Our fully loaded common equity Tier 1 ratio under Basel 3 stood at a very high 10.0% while we further increased our surplus of stable funding to 79 billion Euros.
Finally, we continued to create value for our shareholders. In fact our book value per share continued to increase steadily reaching close to 62 Euros while the tangible book value per share exceeded 51 Euros.
EuroBusiness Media (EBM): In the current challenging economic environment of the Eurozone, to what extent will productivity gains offset revenue pressure in your Domestic Markets? And how is cost of risk evolving?
Jean-Laurent Bonnafé: Thanks to the initiatives we are currently implementing, we believe that we shall be successful in contrasting revenue pressure through operating efficiency improvements.
Our Domestic Markets proved once again resilient in a difficult European context. As I just mentioned, Deposits increased significantly in all the networks, especially in Italy. On the other hand, demand for credit continued to decrease, which, combined with persisting low level of interest rates, led to slightly softer revenues in the first quarter.
However, we were yet again capable of adapting the cost base to the revenue environment, closing the first quarter with a 1.4% reduction resulting from lower costs in all markets. Hence, Domestic Markets managed to improve its cost/income ratio by 0.3 percent this quarter.
The second part of your question was on cost of risk. The macroeconomic environment, as we have said, remains challenging. However, in the Domestic Markets we must look at each country separately. In Italy, BNL bc showed increasing cost of risk in a context of recession; however, while the year-on-year increase was +35%, the increase versus the previous quarter was limited to +4.6%.
On the other hand, cost of risk remained low in our French Retail banking while the level in our Belgian Retail was particularly low. We expect cost of risk to remain low in these two countries.
EuroBusiness Media (EBM): And what about Personal Finance: how has it fared in the first quarter?
Jean-Laurent Bonnafé: Personal Finance maintained a good level of business activity in the first quarter while continuing to adapt to the new environment.
Joint-venture agreements such as the one with Commerzbank in Germany are developing well.
Savings gathering continues to grow with already 100,000 accounts and 1.2 billion Euros of outstandings.
Product innovation is ongoing as shown by the success of our recently launched online budget management offer for individual clients in France which has already had over 240,000 single visitors since February.
Revenues were 4% lower in the first quarter essentially due to the continuing reduction of mortgage loan stocks as part of the adaptation plan. On the other hand, consumer finance revenues were stable with a good drive in Belgium, Turkey and Central Europe.
Operating expenses marked a 15% reduction benefitting from the adaptation plan effects and leading to an improvement of the operating efficiency.
This, combined with a stable cost of risk, meant that Personal Finance closed the quarter with a pre-tax income of 272 million Euros, confirming its strong profit generation capacity.
EuroBusiness Media (EBM): Regarding International Retail Banking, could you provide some colour on the underlying trends in your Europe-Mediterranean geographies and in BancWest?
Jean-Laurent Bonnafé: Thank you for your question which allows me to complete the picture on our Retail Banking.
Starting with Europe-Mediterranean. The first quarter showed significant volume growth both in terms of deposits which increased by over 15% and loans which were up by 7%. The growth was driven in particular by the strong performance of TEB in Turkey.
This translated into a 16% revenue growth while costs remained well under control despite continuing investments in network expansion in Turkey and in Morocco.
Cost of risk was lower than in the first quarter 2012 but essentially in line with the average of the previous two years.
All in all, a strong performance from Europe-Mediterranean in the first quarter with a pre-tax income contribution of close to 100 million Euros.
In the US, BancWest continued to benefit from good sales and marketing drive in an improving macroeconomic environment. Deposits increased by 4.4% and loans were up 3.9% with a strong performance in terms of corporate loans. We continued to develop our Private Banking where we have already increased managed assets to 5.7 billion dollars.
Revenues were affected by the very low interest rates and fewer securities sales than in the previous year. Expenses were higher due to the investments made in the commercial set up both in Private Banking and for corporate and small business.
But a further improvement in the cost of risk meant that BancWest generated 190 million Euros of pre-tax income, confirming its strong profit generation capacity.
EuroBusiness Media (EBM): In Investment Solutions, the first quarter confirms the rebound of life insurance in France after a difficult 2012. But we're not yet seeing a rebound in revenues in your Wealth and Asset Management. What are your comments on Investment Solutions' performance in the first quarter? And what can we expect going forward?
Jean-Laurent Bonnafé: Investment Solutions showed a good operating performance in the first quarter with increasing levels of activity especially in Asia.
Asset under management increased to over 900 billion benefitting in particular from the stock markets' performance and net asset inflows particularly in Wealth Management and in Insurance, including France as you mentioned.
Revenues continued to grow driven by good development in the Insurance business in savings and protection especially in Asia and Latin America. Revenues in Wealth & Asset Management were slightly lower reflecting what you said; however, this was mainly due to lower average assets under management in Investment Partners while Wealth Management performed strongly. Securities Services was affected by the low interest rate environment and by lower transaction volumes.
Costs increased only slightly as higher expenses in the Insurance business due to the growing level of activity were mostly offset by the successful implementation of the adaptation plan in Asset Management.
Overall pre-tax income increased by close to 13% reaching 541 million Euros with a positive contribution of all businesses.
To answer your question regarding what we expect going forward, I remind you that one of the key functions of the businesses of Investment Solutions is to manage our customers' savings, which makes them very important for BNP Paribas. Moving forward, Investment Solutions will continue to innovate and expand its product offer, strengthening its leadership positions in Europe and continuing to develop relevant businesses in fast growing areas such as Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Gulf countries.
EuroBusiness Media (EBM): In Corporate & Investment Banking, your Advisory and Capital Markets revenues are down year on year, as is the case with most of your peers. What is driving this in your opinion: pricing, volumes or demand from clients? How do you see this evolving going forward?
Jean-Laurent Bonnafé: In the first quarter the level of activity in Capital Markets was particularly irregular as tensions in Europe resurfaced on more than one occasion. This affected our Advisory & Capital Markets revenues which were lower than in the first quarter 2012 which - I remind you - had benefitted from the LTRO market euphoria in Europe and hence represents a high comparison base. However, we continued to grow our revenues in Asia.
In Fixed Income we saw a good performance in Forex but sluggish activity on Rates and Credit. We retained a strong global positioning in bond issues where we confirmed our number 8 ranking for "all international bonds" and top spot for "all corporate bonds in Euro".
On the Equities & Advisory side, the combination of low transaction volumes and limited investor demand weighed on revenues. However, we saw a pick-up in structured products activity especially in Europe and in Asia. In "Equity linked" we kept a top positioning: number 2 in Europe and top 10 worldwide.
Hence, to answer your question I would say that the reason for lower revenues is due to the combination of a high comparison base last year, limited client demand reflected in sluggish volumes.
Going forward, given our leading positions in these activities, we think that we'll benefit from the evolution towards Originate to Distribute that is developing progressively in Europe. Furthermore, in view of ever increasing regulatory constraints, we expect some rationalization of market participants. In a nutshell, we think that we're very well placed to benefit from these market trends.
EuroBusiness Media (EBM): Still in Corporate & Investment Banking, the revenues of your corporate banking activities were lower, due to deleveraging last year. What are your views on the evolution of your corporate banking revenues?
Jean-Laurent Bonnafé: In the first quarter Corporate Banking revenues were lower, as you rightly said, due to our deleveraging plan. In addition, they were affected by low demand in an unfavourable European context. Loan outstandings at the end of the quarter were slightly lower than at year-end 2012 but have bounced back from a lower level during the quarter. This was due to the progressive re-launch of the origination activity which has allowed Corporate Banking to start rebuilding its deal pipeline towards the end of the quarter. At the same time we strengthened our number 1 position in syndicated loans in Europe.
Alongside the lending activity, we also continued to consolidate the development of our deposit gathering in conjunction with our Cash Management offer where we signed some significant pan-European mandates during the quarter. Moreover we continued to grow our deposit base which increased to 57 billion Euros with a strong contribution from US dollar deposits.
Having completed our deleveraging in 2012, as I mentioned before, the focus this year is on progressively re-launching the origination activity while continuing to improve the self-funding capacity of this business line.
EuroBusiness Media (EBM): Last quarter you announced your cost optimization plan 'Simple & Efficient'. Can you provide us with an update on where you stand?
Jean-Laurent Bonnafé: I remind you that our objective through "Simple & Efficient" is to simplify the Group's way of functioning and improve operating efficiency, leading to recurrent annual savings of 2 billion Euros from 2015 alongside one-off transformation costs totaling 1.5 billion Euros over 3 years.
We indicated that this plan would involve all businesses and geographies. To be more precise some 55% of the savings should come from Retail Banking with 35% in the Domestic Markets and 20% in Personal Finance and International Retail Banking. The savings contributions from CIB should be at around 30% with Investment Solutions contributing 15%.
In the first quarter we already booked 155 million Euros of transformation costs. Numerous projects are being swiftly launched as illustrated by certain aspects of the "Bank for the future" plan announced in Belgium.
In conclusion, the implementation of "Simple & Efficient" has got off to a promising start and we are cruising ahead of schedule.
EuroBusiness Media (EBM): Jean-Laurent Bonnafé, CEO of BNP Paribas, thank you very much!
Jean-Laurent Bonnafé: You're welcome! Before we conclude, I remind everyone to save the date of 16 May when we shall be officially launching our new Digital Bank in four European markets. See you then!

Advocacy center to host fundraiser to add staff
A southern Indiana center was launching a fundraising effort in hopes it can add staff to help interview children who may have been abused or neglected.
Susie's Place has seen the number of cases it handles rise from 192 in 2011 to an expected 500 this year.
Executive Director Emily Perry told The Herald-Times the nonprofit center has just one full-time child forensic interviewer and needs another.
The center hopes a June 6 fundraiser brings in $60,000 so it can hire another interviewer.
Perry said she also wants to expand the center by launching a pediatric sexual assault nurse examiner program. The program would eliminate the need for young victims of sexual abuse to travel to Indianapolis for an examination.

Skill Level Beginner
The final step in producing a song is to convert the Multi-track Live set into a Stereo Audio file appropriate for burning to an audio CD. The audio export procedure is fairly simple, but there are a number of important decisions to make as part of the process. So let's start by exporting the entire set from the Arrangement view, and this will result in a stereo audio file appropriate for burning to an audio CD. I need to start by making the selection the length or duration of the intended balance. So, I can go on a single track and make a selection that's that length or I could use the Loop Raise and I'll click the edge of that and drag that out.
Make that just a little bit longer than the last clip and let go, and then I'll select the Loop Raise. Next, I'll go up to the File menu and I'll choose Export > Audio and Video. So my choices for this bounce are to bounce from the Master track, which will give us that entire mix, or I can click that and I can choose to Export all the tracks separately as independent tracks. And that would include the Return tracks, or I can choose Individual tracks. So if I just wanted to do the Drum Rack or their Percussion Hat track or the Shaker track, so on and so forth, Individual tracks.
Let's choose the master. And the next option here is to normalize this, and what Live will do in this case is it will analyze the resulting audio file for where the peaks are at. And when it finds the highest peak it will raise or lower the level of the entire resulting file so that, that peak is just below the clipping point. Next I'll drop down here to the audio area and I'll take a look at the file type and I've got two choices here. I've got WAV and AIFF and remember that these are both uncompressed and suitable for burning to and audio CD. So, I'll choose WAV.
My sample rate if I want to burn this to an audio CD, I'll need to reduce this from 48 down to 44 or 1. I'm already at the audio CD standard of 16 bit. But if I was at 24 or 32 and I want to burn this to CD I would reduce this to 16. Now in the case that I do that, I would also want to dither anytime you reduce the bit rate you want to add dither and we have several options here. We have rectangular, triangular and then these three power dither options.
And if you read the live manual, they suggest that triangular is the most transparent. Now I would suggest that you do several bounces, and you choose the bounce that you, like the best. In any case, dither will result in a little bit of pink or white noise, that's only apparent when the, signal is really really soft. And it will help alleviate any of those other problems that might result from quantization error. So, I am not actually reducing the bit rate, so I'm not going to use any dither. And then lastly, if you want to upload this to your SoundCloud account, you can do that by enabling this switch here. But let's go ahead and let's click OK and let's do the bounce. I'm going to put this out on the desktop and I will click Save and here we go. Okay, lets go check that file.
Let's click that, and there is my file, let's just play this real quick to make sure that works. (music playing). Looks like we got it. We can also export audio from Session view, so let's take a look at that. I'm going to click my Stop All Clips button here, just to make sure that everything is set. And before I can export anything from Session view I need to make sure that the clip or the scene has focus. So I'm just going to click the Launch button on this filter pad, and then I'll press my Spacebar to stop it.
(audio playing). So that clip now has focus because I see the Launch button has turned green. Now I can back up to the File menu and choose Export > Audio and Video. And this time it's a little bit different. It shows me that I can set the duration here. So I've got an eight bar clip. Let's just set that at eight bars. The rendered track I can pull off the master or I can pull off a specific track. And I'll drop down and I'll choose filter pad. Again, I can choose to normalize this. Normally when you bounce something like I'm doing here, it's very likely that you're going to want to bring it back into Live to work with it further. So, there's no need to normalize it at this point. But I am going to enable the Render as Loop and what this does is it takes any reverb tails or delay tails and it wraps them back around to the front end of the clip, so if you loop it, you'll actually get those reverb tails. Now if you intend to use this as a model file you can enable this. I've got a stereo clip here and if I was going to bring it back and into live I would want it to be in stereo.
But it's possible if you were doing this to a base clip or something like that, you actually might want to convert it into mono. Again, the file type, I'm going to leave it WAV., the sample rate, since my set is at 48, I'm going to put that and leave that at 48, 16. And I'm not changing the bit depth, so I don't need to dither that. Now in this case, I am going to want to create an Analysis file, because if I'm going to bring this right into Live, I'm going to want Live to be able to warp it. So I'll go ahead and Enable that button. Agian, I don't need to upload to my Soundcloud account, so I won't enable that.
I'll go ahead and click OK and I'll call this Test Bounce number two. And again it's going to go the desktop and I'll click Save. Okay, so now that the bounce is done, I'll go back out to the Finder. And here we can see the Test Bounce 2 WAV that we created. And we could also see the .asv file that Live will use if we bring this audio file back in to use as a clip. And this will allow us to warp that, and use it at different tempos. So, if I click on the test bounce to WAV., again, I can audition that real quickly.
And listen to the beginning of this to see if we actually hear that tail wrap back around to the front edge of the clip. (music playing). So, we got the file that we wanted and I did hear a little bit of that tail wrapped around, that was the liitle bit of that confusion that we heard right at the very beginning of that. So the number of audio export options available, enable to live can seem daunting at first but it's really a simple process.

It was difficult but if you work hard in high school it is possible
Greek Life:
I knew where I wanted to go and fit in
Campus Housing:
I had a great dorm- even though it had no air-conditioning
Football is suffering this year, though
Off-Campus Dining:
compared to other colleges, it's great and diverse
This year sucks for Michigan football so far, but there is still always and outpouring of students who turn out on Saturdays to support the team
Michigan is a very expensive school, without the scholarship that my old superintendent set up a few years ago, I would not be able to attend here. It is very hard for me to pay for the school with scholarships and especially living in a dorm. Tuition is very expensive here and not to mention that they keep raising it, which is not good for kids who come from the middle class
Off-Campus Dining:
Pizza is a huge thing here in Ann Arbor, so there's a lot of pizza joints, but it's really cheap so that's nice
Local Area:
Ann Arbor is a beautiful place to live, there is so much to do at night and during the day. It is the perfect combination of city and college
Greek Life:
It's alright, being a girl, I have no issues getting into frat parties, just the girls might treat you a little differently
Party Scene:
no one parties harder than students at the University of Mihigan
There isn't very much supervision, which is nice as we are just beginning to enter the real world
Overall Experience:
The only reasons not to come to Michigan are if you hate fun and don't want a good education. Seriously, it is hard to find anyone with a bad thing to say about it. It is what you make of it. A lot of people worry about big schools, but having gone to Michigan I can tell you big schools are as small as you make them. You are going to find your own scene, but you will still reap the benefits of the diverse social life and practically unlimited academic programs offered by a big school. You can make a big school feel small, but you can't make a small school feel big. I guess it is a little cold in the winter though.
Off-Campus Dining:
Ann Arbor is one of the best restaurant towns in America. Options range from unhealthy but delicious places along State Street like Mr. Spots and Quickie Burger all the way to truly fantastic restaurants on Main Street like Mani Osteria and Aventura. The restaurants downtown are justifiably expensive. The only problem is that you won't have enough time to visit them all when your parents come for a weekend and take you out. If you like food make sure you eat at Aventura, Mani Osteria, Frita Batidos, Savas, Logan, West End Grill, Cafe Zola, and Isalita in that order. Pizza House and NYPD deliver until 4am, which will be really important if you ever go to Skeeps or pull an all-nighter (you will). You also have options like Chipotle and Five Guys and many more within walking distance of campus.
Party Scene:
I assume the party scene is only better at schools in the South where reading is not a prerequisite for admittance. Football pre games are the earliest I wake up all year and they are my 6 most fun days of the entire year. Michigan has everything you want. I don't go to house parties, but they are pretty common. The bars are fantastic. Some people love Rick's (and it is great), but Skeeps (Scorekeepers) is the greatest bar in America. Your friends at small schools will never be able to understand what college was like if they didn't experience a football tailgate like they have at Michigan.
School spirit is as good as it gets anywhere. Football game days are the most fun days of the entire year. The varsity facilities are incredible across the board. A++ Overall.On the flip side the intramural facilities are unimpressive. Most gyms are pretty old and overdue for a renovation. I don't use them often, but when I do they get the job done and no more. The best thing I can say about them is that they are there.
Campus Housing:
I only lived in the dorms for a year, but this is an area Michigan is pumping a ton of money. They have gutted and renovated a different dorm every summer for the past few years and now offer beautiful dorms. Avoid North Campus dorms as a Freshman.
Greek Life:
As with questions about the drug scene and LGBT acceptance and whatever else it all depends on what you want and the people you surround yourself with. Michigan has whatever you are looking for. I was not in a Fraternity because I played a Division I sport and was not allowed to pledge, but most of my non-athlete friends were and most of the (non-athlete) girls I tried to hook-up with were as well. Additionally, most of the parties and tailgates I attended were sponsored by or at fraternities. Therefore, Greek life was pretty central to my own experience and I have a generally favorable attitude towards it. There are a lot of fraternities and sororities so if you are interested in Greek life you will find one for you. However, Michigan is a very big school so if you aren't interested at all you can pursue other interests and not partake in Greek life. That being said, I would encourage anyone who is even thinking about it to seriously consider it. It is a great social network to have and is only as big of a commitment as you make it (you can always drop if you absolutely hate it). You will probably enjoy it though. As far as attitudes towards Greek life from non-Greeks, I am sure it ranges from love them to hate them and depends on the Greek organization as well.
Off-Campus Housing:
The University is mostly uninvolved in helping students find off-campus housing. You should begin looking early because most houses in any neighborhood near campus are spoken for by November of the pervious school year. Houses and apartments run the gamut from cheap to expensive and from falling apart to very nice. There are upscale apartment buildings for low New York City rents (~$1400 per month per person), and there are crappy houses that go as low as $600 per month per person and probably even lower. I have lived in a decent house on East University, a horrible house on Greenwood, and a nice house on East University. In all cases my rent was between $650 and $750. Off campus housing mostly depends on your landlord. Do a lot of research on this before you sign a lease, and for the love of God read your lease so you know what you are getting into. Some landlords will try to nickel and dime you for a house that is falling apart (Oxford Property Management... AVOID OXFORD AT ALL COSTS). And some landlords are responsive, understandable, and keep their houses in working order (we had a mostly positive experience with Sam Copi. Seriously though, don't rent with Oxford their business is charging students for anything and everything and then threatening you with eviction if you don't pay fees you can't even understand.
Most U of M students like to come back to Ann Arbor a week or so before classes start for Welcome Week. Welcome Week is basically a week full of outdoor day parties and nights at the bars/frats/house parties. The University used to have Freshman come at the beginning of the week, and they would partake in the entire week. In an effort to prevent new student from partying too hard during welcome week they now move into their dorms on Thursday (as of 2014). I would say that is pretty reasonable if not lenient. Additionally, I have never known the University to be overly strict with the fraternities or to put in place policies to seriously curb drinking.I am an Engineering student, and they take the honor code very seriously. I don't know of anyone who has been found in violation of it (it does happen), but they often emphasize its importance and remind students of it frequently. As part of the honor code for Engineering teachers are not present during the exams, and in my experience my instructors have been very diligent in following this and other policies. Lecture/recitation attendance depends on your field of study. As an engineering major all of my classes are recorded and posted online so I could feasibly never go to a single lecture. Again, this is not true for every major, and some classes/majors are heavily attendance based.I lived in the dorms one year. I would say they are no more lenient nor strict than other schools. You need your student ID and personal code to get in most dorms/bathrooms in the dorms because Michigan is such a big school. I never had a problem with people visiting other than the inconvenience of getting into the dorms/bathrooms without a card. Drinkng in the dorms happens, but students will get written up if they are too loud or obvious. This generally isn't a problem as it isn't really necessary to drink in the dorms because there are so many other options.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are a variety of restaurants in Ann Arbor and many are within walking distance. Although the best restaurants are a little more expensive, there are some on State street that are close and inexpensive. Not a lot of places have student discounts but I would definitely recommend Frita Batidos and Angelos as my favorites.
Party Scene:
The party scene is great and there are a variety of options for students. Greek life is rather large on campus and is a nice way to meet people. Club sports are also very active as well as other organizations. There are always a lot of parties during the year but syllabus week has something at least every night.
Campus Housing:
There are definitely some dorms that are better than others but I feel like that is the cause with many universities. The University is currently in the process of redoing a lot of the dorm areas so this is definitely improving. Everyone especially freshman year is very friendly and there are plenty of clubs and activities to meet friends. Many of the dorms are on campus and are very close to all the classes. North Campus is great for engineers and art students, but if you get stuck there freshman year and you are not one of the two it is rather unfortunate.
Health & Safety:
Overall the University of Michigan is very safe. While walking on campus there are often police officers around Ann Arbor and there are always a large amount of people. If you feel unsafe at night, you can call safe ride to come and pick you up from the library or somewhere else. Although some instances do unfortunately occur, it is impossible to rid the school of all crime cases with such a large student population.
Campus Housing:
I have stayed in two dorms on different ends of the spectrum, Bursley and Stockwell. Bursley needs a major overall, while Stockwell is a good place to stay.

A powerful jet shooting from a supermassive black hole at the center of a distant galaxy shines in a newly released image and video tour.
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory gathered data that was used to create the new photo of the galaxy Centaurus A — which is located about 12 million light-years from Earth. The space-based observatory collected the data from 1999 to 2012, but the space agency released the photo on Feb. 6. You also can take a full video tour of the Centarus A photo.
While the black hole jet is a prominent feature, the picture also shows what scientists think to be the leftovers of a collision between Centaurus A (Cen A for short) and a smaller galaxy millions of years ago. The "dust lane" that wraps around the middle of Cen A could be the remains of the incorporated galaxy, NASA officials said in the video.

"In this image, the lowest-energy X-rays Chandra detects are in red, while the medium-energy X-rays are green, and the highest-energy ones are blue," a NASA official said in the video explanation.
The Chandra X-ray Observatory has been observing Cen A since 1999, just after the space telescope came online. Scientists have found that point-like X-ray sources in Cen A fall into two groups. The X-ray sources come from a system where either a black hole or neutron star is siphoning gas from a companion star, NASA officials said.
"These compact objects form by the collapse of massive stars, with black holes resulting from heavier stars than neutron stars," NASA officials said. "The results suggested that nearly all of the compact objects [neutron stars or black holes] had masses that fell into two categories: either less than twice that of the sun, or more than five times as massive as the sun. These two groups correspond to neutron stars and black hole."
NASA considers the Chandra X-ray Observatory one of the space agency's "Great Observatories" with the Hubble Space Telescope, the Spitzer Space Telescope and the now defunct Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. Chandra launched to space aboard the space shuttle Columbia in 1999.

By Katya Yefimova Herald Writer
CAMANO ISLAND — Jack Archibald leaned over a table and began to fill in the missing pieces of the glass puzzle.
The panel he's working on will adorn the Mabana Fire Station, located not far from Archibald's home at the south end of Camano Island.
He measured and cut a triangular slice of iridescent burgundy glass. Paper with dimensions penciled on it peeked out from the parts Archibald hasn't yet filled in.
The finished work, he said, will represent what fascinates him most about fire stations.
"A fire station is kind of like frozen energy," Archibald said. "Just ready to go."
Archibald is donating the piece to his local fire station, just as he donated a glass mural at the entrance of the recently opened Madrona Fire Station.
Both works feature pieces made by Camano Island glassblower Marc Boutte.
Archibald and Boutte are part of a group of local artists who call themselves the South End Cultural Oxymorons and are trying to develop a creative identity for the community.
The group donated artwork to various places around the area, including Stanwood and Camano libraries, the Northwest Organization for Animal Help shelter, Skagit Valley Hospital and Hutchison County Park on Camano Island.
Archibald called the glass panels for the fire stations "the latest in a series of 'art stimulus' packages."
The Camano Island Gateway, a visitors center and adjacent park, also boasts artwork made by local artists.
"For many people, Camano Island is a bedroom community or a little summer place, but we wanted to make it different," Archibald said.
Archibald bought his house near the southern tip of Camano Island around 1970. He turned the old wooden house on the property into a studio and decorated it with his art: Colorful glass illuminates windows, skylights and even some furniture.
Archibald got into glass after taking a class about 30 years ago. He wanted to decorate his home, which he built himself. Next thing he knew, he was getting commissions for public art projects.
He buys glass that has been colored and treated using different techniques.
Archibald made the glass and steel clock mural at the Everett Station and the dining hall mural at Cascade Valley Hospital in Arlington. He also made the entryway mural at the Portland, Ore., Fire Department headquarters. It's called "The Engine."
A fire station is not just a building that houses equipment and offices. It's a community resource, and the art reflects that, said Levon Yengoyan, assistant chief of the Stanwood Camano Fire Department. "We just think it was so generous of him," he said.
Another project currently in the works would turn some of the fire department's rooms into galleries, with photo and other exhibits, Yengoyan said.
Archibald said he was inspired by the stained glass panel at a fire station in Seattle's Central District, near where he once lived.
"What we are trying to do is kind of give a sense of excitement to the fire station," Archibald said.
The glass changes color depending on lighting and the point of view, creating a sense of movement.
Movement is exactly what he wants for the Mabana Fire Station piece. He calls it a "zippy little window."
"To me, it's like a person. This is the head; this is the body," Archibald said, looking down on the panel.

Web Servers and Dynamic Content
When web servers first appeared their primary purpose was to serve up selected information from the machine on which they ran. The idea was to simply take the contents of a file and transmit them over a TCP connection in HTTP format. The inherent limitation discovered early on was that dynamic content could not be delivered, and the CGI interface was defined and added to web servers to address this.
The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) provides a way for the web server to execute a process whose output is determined by the code that it executes, and then take this output and pass it back to the client browser as if it were the contents of a static file. Since that time many variations that combine scripting engines and CGI have evolved that simplify the job of the programmer and make the execution of multiple external threads more efficient (Perl, Python, PHP, etc.). However, for the most part, these scripting languages have the drawback of needing to be interpreted. Also, they overlook the fact that enormous bodies of code already exist in such languages as C and Fortran (remember it?) to solve complex, computationally intensive applications. While building dynamic content based on the results of queries is very useful, it is not realistic to apply image data transformations or calculate Fourier Transforms using these scripting languages, as the time required to complete such calculations is very long with respect to the response time which the user expects.
Therefore, because of the existing code base and the existence of dynamic content that has to be generated by some algorithms that cannot be efficiently implemented in scripting languages, there is a definite need for developing programs that use the CGI, written in a traditional language like C or Fortran and compiled down to native code.
There are two ways in which data in the HTTP protocol is passed from the browser to the web server: the GET data (specified as part of the URL, commonly that part that appears after the "?" in the URL) and the POST data (the collected name-value pairs of all of the fields in the form that is being submitted by the web browser). To figure out the GET data, just look at the URL—http://www.mydomain.com/pages/external.cgi?additional-data.
GET data portion: additional-data
To figure out the POST data look at the source of the document generating the request, and find the form that is being submitted:
<FORM> <INPUT TYPE="text"NAME="fld01" VALUE="val01"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden"NAME="fld02" VALUE="val02"> <INPUT TYPE="checkbox"NAME="fld03" CHECKED> <SELECT NAME="fld04"> <OPTION VALUE="val03"> Val-03 <OPTION SELECTED VALUE="val04"> Val-04 <OPTION VALUE="val05"> Val-05 </SELECT> </FORM> POST data: fld01=val01&fld02=val02&fld03=on&fld04=val04As you can see, POST data is submitted in the form of a continuous string identifying each field/value pair separated by an equal sign ("="). Each field/value entity is separated by an ampersand ("&").
There are actually other complexities involved in the format for passing in POST data. Many characters need to be "escaped" in order not to confuse the web server with control characters or separator breaks. This is solved by inserting plus signs ("+") for spaces and escape sequences of the format "%[0-9,A-F][0-9,A-F]" in the place of non-printable characters, ampersands, pluses and equal signs. (For the purist, yes, it is true that spaces can be represented as either the "+" symbol or as the escape sequence "%20". All versions of Apache and IIS with which I have worked accept both.)
The web browser passes GET and POST data to the external thread by different mechanisms. GET data is placed in an environment variable visible to the context local to that thread. This environment variable is "QUERY_STRING". Therefore, gaining access to GET data in C/C++ is a simple matter of this command:
char *pszGetData = getenv("QUERY_STRING");
(This should work in all UNIX and in all Microsoft development environments.)
On the other hand, POST data is passed to the external thread on the standard input stream. For those of you not familiar with streams, it is the same data producer as the keyboard, so whatever it is you've been doing to read input from the keyboard, that is the mechanism you will use to access POST data. However, an inherent liability with streams is that you have no way of knowing how much data is waiting for you. The obvious solution is to keep reading byte by byte from that stream until there is no more data and keep resizing a dynamically allocated buffer accordingly. However, web browsers provide the developer with another piece of information that saves them the trouble of having to grow buffers, incur the added overhead and deal with handling the exceptions that occur when one of multiple dynamic memory allocations decides to fail.
When a web browser passes POST data to the standard input of an external thread, it places all of the POST data there in one shot; therefore, there is never any chance that additional data will be added to the stream after you have first encountered a data portion on that stream.
The web browser also tells the process just how much data it has placed in the standard input by writing (as ASCII text) the number of bytes waiting to be read from the standard input in an environment variable visible to the context local to that thread. This environment variable is "CONTENT_LENGTH". Therefore, gaining access to POST data in C/C++ requires a three-step process that will work in all UNIX and Microsoft development environments:
long iContentLength = atol(getenv("CONTENT_LENGTH")); char *szFormData = (char *) malloc(iContentLength * sizeof(char)); bzero(szFormData, iContentLength * sizeof(char)); fread(szFormData, (iContentLength - 1) * sizeof(char), 1, stdin);
A given browser document can contain both GET and POST data; therefore, both mechanisms may be used at the same time. In the <FORM> tag, a target may be specified which contains GET data, and the data contained in the form will be passed to the target as POST data.
Re: Web Servers and Dynamic Content
It is nice to see the CGI in C or C++. I just
noticed that there is a cross platform C++ CGI scripting
in Ch, a C/C++ interpreter.
They have nice APIs in C/C++, which is similar to ASP and
JSP. It is worth checking.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

I designed this icon for an app I'm making for my final university project. I wanted a cute mascot for it, I'll also be doing a "flat" version. The app is something useful for people who fly, and would like their phone to do more than be a tool to tweet about how shit the airport wifi is.
The icon is relatively finished, some tweaks here and there which I'll get to when I scale it and stuff but I'm happy with it for now.

Sugar Creek Art Center was a wonderful place to mount a show of my work. The Center, with its gift shop, studios, classrooms and museum, is a vibrant cultural attraction for folks in the Thorntown area. There were concurrent events at the Center the night of my opening, which brought many visitors to the building and gallery. The airy and bright exhibition space on the second floor is an artist's dream and the staff is friendly and helpful. I also appreciate that there are other small galleries in the building belonging to the various artists who rent studio space in the Center. (And don't even get me started on the white grand piano…)

Mogollon Skunk Ape Double Black IPA
RATINGS: 19 MEAN: 3.84/5.0 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.57/5 SEASONAL: Winter IBU: 83 EST. CALORIES: 300 ABV: 10%
Skunk Ape Double Black IPA, the first beer in the Mogollon Monster Mash series. The skunk Ape, a large hairy, bipedal mammal, is closely akin to the famed Sasquatch. As a rule the creatures appearance is usually preceded by a thick skunk-like odor, and its scream cuts the night air sending chills up the spine of all in ear shot. We brew this Double Black IPA as dark as midnight and stuff it full of hops. At 10% ABV and 83.44 IBUs, youll enjoy your encounter with this Skunk Ape with a much more pleasing, slightly roasted and hoppy aroma, and may find yourself running screaming into the night for more.

When preparing for the the IOUG Collaborate 12's deep dive on deploying Oracle Databases for High Availability, I wanted to provide some feedback on which hardware components are failing most and least frequently. I believe I have a reasonably good idea of the answer, but I thought that providing some more objective data would be better. I couldn't find results from a more scientific research, so I decided to organize a poll. This blog post shows the results, which I promised to share with several groups.Read More >
While doing my high availability deep dive at Collaborate 12 few weeks ago, I stated that storage replication qualifies for the cold failover licensing rules (see slide #128). During collaborate, I spoke to one person at Oracle who definitely knows the rules. Simon Haslam also reached out to me by email pointing out that things might not be that rosy. I will update the slides accordingly. In any case, please do your own homework and don't trust my conclusions here — don't take this as licensing advice by any means.Read More >

Just a quick heads up to the ODA customers — there is a critical patch 184.108.40.206.1 out that is applied on top of ODA patch bundle 22.214.171.124.0. This patch has an important fix for a bug causing ODA servers to shutdown in some situations when an ASM disk is lost.Read More >
The biggest objection to Oracle Database Appliance (ODA) we hear from customers is about 4TB usable space limit (tripple mirrored 12TB of raw storage). I think most of the times this is more a perceived barrier rather than objective — more along the lines of being afraid to hit the limit if the system grows a lot. Nevertheless, Oracle has been always listening customers' concerns when it comes to purchasing barriers. Of course, this time is no exception.Read More >

Malcolm X's life began and ended a nightmare. Born into the midst of generational racial violence and killed by the intersection of racial and religious tension, Malcolm was no stranger to the worst and most violent aspects of American society. But even in the face of such despair and struggle, Malcolm X had a guarded outlook.
His true nightmare was not the nightmare which started and helped end his life. It was that blacks would once again fall victim to another system of injustice and racism more sinister than the last because they believed their struggles would end with massive legislative victories.
Was he right? Pour over some of his speeches and written words fundamental to understanding Malcolm's evolution across the years.
Though popular memory of Martin Luther King, Jr. largely focuses on his "I Have A Dream" speech, we're taking a look at some of King's equally powerful but easily forgotten speeches. Join us in annotating King's legacy, including his critiques of American society as it dealt with poverty, racism, militarism, and materialism.
Annotate the announcement that launched 135 space missions and some 350 astronauts (no Anne Hathaway, we promise)!
The Space Transportation System (the official title for what we all know as the Space Shuttle) was born in the sixties, but didn't launch astronauts into space until 1981. Along the way, myriad obstacles – ranging from the political to the scientific – emerged for the five U.S. presidents, seven NASA administrators, and hundreds of staffers and scientists who sought to send human beings to Earth's outer orbit. In this announcement, President Nixon made all of that work public, touching off the race to the program's first mission.

'Woody Sez' delivers Guthrie's populist message with gusto
Bruce Springsteen — one of many musicians, from Bob Dylan to Kacey Musgraves, who are unimaginable as we know them without Woody Guthrie — once described Guthrie's music as "the core of what it means to be an American," adding that "such songs don't get written anymore, because no one knows how to write them."
