HYPERCALCEMIC crisis is an infrequent but very ominous manifestation of hyperparathyroidism which calls for urgent surgical attention. The published reports of such cases clearly indicate that the syndrome of hypercalcemic crisis occurring in the course of primary hyperparathyroidism is almost uniformally fatal unless it is recognized early and the hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue is promptly removed. In an excellent article published in 1958, Thomas et al 1 reviewed 23 published cases of this syndrome and added three of their own. Additional reports of 35 such instances 2-23 and six probable instances24-27 have appeared in the available literature. Surgery was carried out in 36 of the 67 patients reported. Of these, effective surgery resulted in a successful outcome in 29 patients and in a fatal outcome within 24 hours postoperatively in four patients.9,12,16,20 The responsible parathyroid adenoma was not found at surgery in three patients.4,19 In the remaining 31 patients, no surgery

I'm having a similar problem. My backup won't span two disks. I read another
recently posted message which said the problem may be in the formatting of
the disk. I reformatted but discovered that the backup exec software still
won't recognize the media. I ignored this, and pointed the software to save
the file to the CD drive anyway by giving the path: "e:\filename". It worked
until it ran out of space on the first disk, then quit. Please check your
backup exec software: in the "tools" menu select "media" when your data-formatted
CD-RW disk is inserted in the drive. Is there an entry there in the drop
down menu or does it say "no media"? If there is media indicated does it
refer to the disc or the drive?
Thanks--this will help me troubleshoot my problem. Perhaps the drive isn't
supported, but I've tried this on two different drives: Iomega ZipCD and
HP 8250i.
>Has anyone had any luck getting a multiple CD back-up to work with version

Belated response: Make sure that you have extracted the entire mod directory into it's own folder. 'modifyOBjective' is a custom variable that's defined in the mods .dll, so you're probably missing that from the mod directory.

Sikkmod is integrated with some effects created by Sikkpin exclusively for False Dawn.
Really glad to hear you enjoyed it so much. Thanks heaps for playing :)
I haven't encountered this issue before. Does your computer have any trouble loading any of the standard Quake 4 levels?
Easy! Install Q4 through Steam then Download the mod installer from here. When you install the mod it should detect your Steam installation of Quake 4. Install the mod there and run the False Dawn batch file from either your start menu or your '...steamapps\common\Quake 4\bktq4sp1\' directory.
Does it crash while loading the level or once loading is complete?
Also, what are your system specs? The level does need at least 2gb of RAM to load.
Does that occur when loading Quake 4, or just when launching False Dawn?
If it's only when launching False Dawn from the batch file, you may need to select a resolution compatible with your monitor.
Make sure that you have Quake 4 patched to 1.4.2. If you do, try out Friars solution above.
Oh wow. We never had the mod work on an Intel GPU. This is very informative!!
Yup! That's Quake 4 being 9 years old. Launch it via steam and select "False Dawn' from there mod menu.
If you're using an ATI GPU you will need to disable Catalyst A.I. in order for the Sikkmod effects to work correctly.
Do you have an ATI GPU?
I'm glad to hear it. I hope you enjoy it!
Nope, not Kane :)
Thanks mate! There's a small addition at the end that wouldn't be in there without your help :)
Use dark radiant then...
It might not be the quickest method, but sizing lights by numbers at least makes designers conscious of size/scale/dimensions. With an engine like idTech4 where the number of lights touching surfaces is so important, this isn't a bad thing.
Drag the pink light centre using the left click. You need to manually set light volume sizes using the light editor.
I have good and bad news for you. The good news is that the mod is completely single player focused. The bad news is that it's not going to be as long as you hoped. The gameplay takes place throughout a single (very big) level and depending on your playstyle/skill it should take between 60-90 minutes to complete. Don't worry though, as the level is designed to have replay value because the order in which you do your objectives changes things later in the level!
Looking good chaps! I especially like the rockwall in the 3rd shot.
Don't worry, this mod's only going destined for one place. The downloads section.
That's some crazy good detail right there!
We hope to make it as awesome as possible! We're really trying to push past the expectations people might have for a single level based mod for idTech4.
Oh it most certainly will be finished!

Music Department Audition & Scholarship Information
Audition & Scholarship Information for Prospective Music Majors, Music Minors, and Other Talented Music Performers
All of the information contained on this webpage is also available in the information document below, which you may download as a pdf file. When you have finished reviewing the audition information, you may then click on the button below to complete a Request for Audition.
Audition Information Document (.pdf)
Click Here to Request a Music Audition
Music Performance Scholarship Application (.pdf)
Music Performance Scholarship Application (Word Document)
The Asbury University Music Department is a member of the National Association of Schools of Music, and offers accredited curricula leading to either a Bachelor of Arts in Music or a Bachelor of Science in Education, Integrated Music P-12 (preparing future music educators for teacher certification covering Preschool through 12th Grade). The Bachelor of Arts degree includes optional emphases in Performance, Church Music Leadership, Music History, Composition & Arranging, or Pre-Music Therapy.
Students do not have to major or minor in music in order to be considered for Music Performance Scholarships, but an audition is required. Students who are awarded Music Performance Scholarships can renew these scholarships up to four years, as long as the student maintains the scholarship requirements. For music majors and minors, successfully passing the entrance audition also ensures admittance to the music program through the sophomore level, at which time a second audition will determine eligibility for upperclassman standing.
Music auditions are always scheduled during the visit weekends sponsored by the Asbury University Admissions Office. For the 2016-2017 school year, on-campus auditions will be held on the following dates:
- Friday, September 9, 2016
- Friday, October 7, 2016
- Friday, October 21, 2016
- Friday, November 11, 2016
- Friday, November 18, 2016
- Friday, January 20, 2017
- Friday, January 27, 2017
- Friday, February 3, 2017
- Friday, February 24, 2017
- Saturday, February 25, 2017
- Friday, March 24, 2017
- Friday, April 21, 2017
In addition, auditions may be requested for other dates or students may submit video auditions, if needed. An on-line submission form permits students to request music auditions. Note, too, that students who wish to do so are welcome to perform auditions on multiple instruments if they are skilled in more than one area of musical talent.
Before a music scholarship can be awarded, the following must be completed: (1) Music Performance Scholarship Application (for the Music Department); (2) Admissions Form (for the Admissions Office), and (3) FAFSA (for Financial Aid Office). Students who have completed the music audition and the scholarship paperwork by March 1st tend to have the greatest advantage in consideration for music scholarships for the following school year, but all scholarship applications and auditions completed before the start of classes will receive consideration if funds are available.
Specific information about instrumental, keyboard, and vocal auditions appears below, followed by information about auditions for performance ensembles.

An accompanist will be provided for on-campus vocal auditions, though a student may bring his or her own accompanist if desired. (Recorded accompaniments are not acceptable.)
Please be sure when making photocopies of music for an accompanist that all lines of the piano parts appear on the photocopy. (Overly large pages may need to be reduced slightly.) Following the prepared solos, vocalists should also be prepared for two short sight-singing demonstrations.
Students who wish to submit a videotaped audition will be asked to submit the contact information for an accompanist or other music mentor who would be willing to administer the sight-singing portion of the videotaped audition after the solo songs have been recorded.

Three South Jersey women will receive awards this week as part of a Victims' Rights Week event in Trenton on Wednesday.
Barbara Carter of West Deptford, Kathy Friess of Gloucester Township and Linda Burkett of Cherry Hill will all be honored in the very first Officer of Attorney General Excellence Awards for Victims' Justice ceremony. Victims' Rights Week is observed annually to "reaffirm New Jersey's commitment to enforce victims' rights and address their needs," according to a press release. Burkett and Carter will both receive the Endurance Award, which honors staff members and coordinators from the state Office of Victim-Witness Advocacy.
Burkett is a victim-witness coordinator for the Camden County Prosecutor's Office.
"Linda provides those affected by violence with a safe place to voice their fears and concerns, and the means to effectively address them," wrote Camden County Prosecutor Warren Falk in his nomination letter.
Carter is a victim advocate in the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office with nearly 30 years of experience in the field, beginning as a clerical assistant.
"She has helped several victims relocate their homes away from dangerous crime scenes," wrote Gloucester County Prosecutor Sean Dalton. "She arranges for Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets and children's gifts for several families each year, and gives food vouchers for those severely disadvantaged."
Friess, the human trafficking program coordinator for the state Division of Criminal Justice, is receiving the Crime Victims' Rights Award.
"Kathy played a huge role in setting up the Say Something Assemblies, which were 3-D presentations in middle schools and high schools that traveled up and down the state of New Jersey," wrote State Victim Witness Coordinator Melissa Miller in her nomination.
The three will join two award winners from North Jersey at the ceremony on Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. at the Hughes Justice Complex in Trenton.

Two Turkish pilots were kidnapped in Beirut yesterday in retaliation for the abduction of a group of Lebanese Shia pilgrims by Syrian rebels last year.
A previously unknown group calling itself Zuwwar al-Imam Rida claimed responsibility for the brazen kidnapping and said that it would release the two pilots in exchange for nine Lebanese kidnapped in the Azaz district of Aleppo in May last year who are reportedly being held in northern Syria.
The families of the kidnapped Lebanese have consistently accused Turkey of failing to exert sufficient influence over the rebel group holding the hostages to have them released.

If you've ever wondered how chefs manage to work around food all day and maintain a healthy weight, you'll want to tune into the new Food Network series The Fat Chef, which premieres on Thursday, January 26 at 10pm ET/PT. Though the media portrays images of slim chefs like Giada De Laurentiis and Sandra Lee, there are many who do not fit this stereotype but play a huge role in determining how and what people eat.
The six episode series will offer viewers a behind-the-scenes look the struggles chefs face when their love for food affects their health. Twelve overweight culinary professionals from Illinois, New Jersey, New York, and Ohio will be featured over the course of their four-month venture to overcome weight issues with the help of therapists, nutritionists, and personal trainers.
Each episode will showcase two chefs working with their health consultants, including nutritionist and author Christine Avant, fitness guru Robert Brace, and former Biggest Loser trainer Brett Hoebel as they work to overcome their abusive relationships with food.

Inspired by their mother, a pair of Summerville sisters completed their first triathlon Sunday.
Jessie Halajcsik, 20, and Dani Halajcsik, 16, participated in the latest Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series race held at James Island County Park. Joining them was mom Teri, 47, who is no stranger to distance races.
"Their mother has been an avid runner for as long as I can remember and has participated in these types of races for years but Sunday was a dream come true for her," Bruce Halajcsik said. "Teri has a (jogging) stroller that she used to push both of them (all over the place) in when they were young so I know having both of our daughters compete with her in a race is special for her. In fact, before the race they took markers and wrote Dream Team on their arms."
During each Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series event, partcipants swim 600 yards, bike 12 miles and run 5 kilometers. The sisters were already in good physical shape so training for the triathlon was mostly a matter of tweaking their workouts and spending some time in the pool.
"Jessie does the P90X workout and in December she ran a half marathon with her mother so she was used to the running," the father said. "Dani plays softball and volleyball for Summerville so she stays in good shape. Leading up to the triathlon Dani and Teri started biking to the Miler Pool and doing laps several times a week."
Teri, Jessie and Dani set the goal of finishing Sunday's race in less than two hours and all met the goal. Jessie, a trident tech student working on nursing degree, finished with a 1:39:40 time. Teri, a Register Diagnostic Medical Sonographer Independent Contractor, finished in 1:41:14. Dani, a rising Green Wave junior, finished in 1:43:39.
Several other runners with ties to Summerville participated in Sunday's triathlon.
Carole Murray of Ladson was the top overall female finisher. She came in with a 1:04:01 time.
Sandy O'Keefe (1:06:56) placed third in the Overall Female Division. Fellow Summervillians Jennifer Long (1:12:49) and Lisa Jones (1:15:13) were also among the top 20 runners for the division.
Ed Benzenberg of Summerville crossed the finish line with a 1:06:14 time to place 23rd in the Overall Male Division. Josh Hayes (1:08:12) of Ladson and Kendall Shows (1:09:35) of Summerville were also among the top 40 finishers in the division.

Peter Jackson casts 'Boondock Saints' star Billy Connolly in 'The Hobbit'
With production already completed on a large portion of "The Hobbit" films, director Peter Jackson and his wife/creative partner Fran Walsh have cast Scottish comedian Billy Connolly in the role of dwarf warrior Dain Ironfoot, a character who appears briefly in the book as well as in Appendix A of "The Lord of the Rings".
The news was broken by Deadline.
Known as "The Big Yin" by many of his fans, Connolly started his career as a folk singer/comedian in the 1960s. He has appeared in many films throughout the years including "Muppet Treasure Island", "The Impostors", "The Last Samurai" and the two "Boondock Saints" movies. He was presented with a BAFTA Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003.
Jackson resumed production on "The Hobbit" in New Zealand following a trip to Sundance last month for the premiere of "West of Memphis", an Amy Berg-directed documentary about the West Memphis Three.
Principal photography on the pair of fantasy epics should be completely finished by the summer. The films also star Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage, Graham McTavish, Christopher Lee, Elijah Wood and Orlando Bloom.
"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" is slated for release on December 14, 2012 and "The Hobbit: There and Back Again" hits theaters on December 13, 2013.
Any Connolly fans out there excited by his casting? Sound off in the comments!

Kingston: New Zealand captain Kane Williamson won the toss Saturday and chose to bowl first against the West Indies in the second one-day cricket international at Sabina Park.
Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels cracked their 20th and 3rd ODI hundreds as West Indies reached 315 for 5 in 50 overs.
Gayle smashed 8 boundaries and 9 sixes, which include 3 sixes in an over of Kyle Mills.
West indies captain Darren Sammy hit breezy 31 off 21 balls towards the end of the innings. Though, West Indies could not score as many runs as they would have liked in last 10 overs.
Williamson, Martin Guptill BJ Watling hammered half-centuries for New Zealand but they were not enough to take their team home as none of them converted their innings into a massive one.
Ravi Ranpaul was the pick of the bowler for West Indies as he ripped out 3 wickets. Sunil Narine and Samuels picked up 2 wickets each.
The West Indies are unchanged from the side that won the rain-shortened opening match by nine wickets at the same venue on Thursday.
New Zealand made two changes to its eleven with off-spinner Nathan McCullum and batsman Tom Latham replacing Dean Brownlie and the injured all-rounder Andrew Ellis.
West Indies lead the series 2-0; the third ODI will be played at Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts on 11th July.

Happy WIAW… here's what I've been eating lately:
BREAKFAST: avocado toast on Ezekial English muffin… I seriously ate this every morning for a week (with my coffee, of course).
LUNCH: best lunch lately was the yogi sandwich (I ordered it with bacon but it comes with sun-dried tomato hummus, carrots, cucumber, kale and sprouts) from Sprout near where I work.
SNACKS: potato chips, unfortunately. They taste so good but then afterwards I feel so crappy! I got these for free and after they were done, I did not buy more!

Sweet news for diabetes researchers, particularly those focused on elderly sufferers: The American Diabetes Association (ADA) and Eli Lilly have launched a three-year collaborative research program aimed at better understanding diabetes care in older adults. The program, "American Diabetes Association and Lilly Clinical Research Award: Diabetes Care in Older Adults," will grant a total of $1.2 million for targeted research awards and was made possible through funding from Lilly Diabetes. The program will be directed, managed, and overseen by the ADA.
Why the new program? The association and Lilly say that research studies in this population are crucial for several reasons including ability to assess diabetes risk, ability to assess optimal treatment approaches, ability to assess the care of older patients with multiple co-morbidities, dependent living situations, and significant hypoglycemia risk.
"This is an unmet need in diabetes care," said Robert Heine, vp, medical affairs at Lilly Diabetes. "Older adults with diabetes often face greater complications and might need different approaches to care and treatment than younger adults. With this research program and with the collaboration of the American Diabetes Association, we hope to be able to delve deeper into the challenges facing this population as they confront this disease."
The ADA says it is currently seeking research applications for clinical and translational studies focused on improving the evidence base and understanding of the goals, barriers, and effects of treatments and interventions (beneficial and adverse) in the older adult population with diabetes. The deadline for submission is September 16, 2013; awards will be announced later this year, and the grants will be three-year awards starting in early 2014.

Talk about a deluge.
In an instant - the time it took Donovan Preddy, 30, and his micro-goateed pal to gulp down their old-fashioneds at the back of the zinc bar at Parc - the scene at Philadelphia's newest and most buzzed-about restaurant was transformed from a cafe on the square to a cafe on the banks of the Seine.
With five inches of water coursing southward down 18th Street - drenched greeters huddled beneath the front awning, sidewalk diners fleeing inside, guarding their half-finished plates of duck confit - it was, perhaps, time to reflect.

Pastoral Care of "Homosexuals" - Mark Fletcher - 22-01-2007
I've just finished reading H. H. Pope Shenouda III's lecture on Homosexuality. I thought it was superb. As I am someone struggling with homosexual tendencies, I wondered if there were any Coptic or other Orthodox materials available for free download which might be of use to me, to think about or pray with. Are there any Orthodox book titles on this which anyone might know of or recommend?
How refreshing it is to read a Christian Leader "telling it like it is"! If any other members of the Fellowship have any useful tips or suggestions, then don't be shy!
Pope Shenouda mentions three men who were fornicators before becoming saints. They repented and were corrected through the Holy Spirit: Saint Augustine, Saint Moses the Black and Saint Pelagia. He says that there are many others who fall into this category.
Do members of the Fellowship have any suggestions as to a good Patron Saint for someone seeking to repent and overcome homosexual tendencies?
Pastoral care - John Charmley - 22-01-2007
Dear Mark,
I'm glad you liked Pope Shenouda's book. There is some useful advice at
http://www.mycopticchurch.com/articles/ ... urity.html,
Fr. Thomas Hopko's, Christian Faith & Same Sex Attraction, is also useful. It may be available via Amazon, but can also be found at this site
http://www.svspress.com/product_info.ph ... ts_id=2866
One of our priests will, I am sure, have good advice for you in private, but it is good to remember that Orthodox Christianity is not condemning the individual, just the sin, and that it is not just focussing on homosexuality in isolation; fornication, adultery, lustful behaviour, all these too are sinful - but He who died for our sins offers us the road to salvation; and that is the Good News for us all.
We are called to repentence and to newness of life in Christ; we are all sinners - were we not, He would not have died for us; he who says he is without sin fools only himself. What matters is not that we have sinned, but that we can repent and mend our ways. Of course, being what we are, we will fail again and again - but the more we live in Him, the less that will happen.
It is, in the real sense of that over-used word, awesome that He should have died for me - and for you.
In Christ,
Thanks - Mark Fletcher - 06-03-2007
Many thanks for your book suggestion. I have sent off for this from Dover Library this morning. As it is outside Kent, it may take longer to arrive, but I'm sure that it will be worth the wait, in spite of it being only a slim volume. I also printed off the other item you mentioned in your posting which is really just a one-page diagram.
Thanks again for your kindness and concern. It's much appreciated.
Coptic Orthodox View - Mark Fletcher - 06-03-2007
The following essay on the Coptic Orthodox View of Homosexuality by Fr. M. Mikhail D. MIN is most interesting:
I think it rather justifies my belief that there is a real need for sincere repentance rather than just assenting to the correctness of the Coptic Orthodox Church's view and not honestly and fully repenting.
Pope Shenouda III - Mark Fletcher - 06-03-2007
I also see that His Holiness Pope Shenouda III has written a very fine book entitled The Life of Repentance and Purity which I will try to download or purchase at some stage:
Care - John Charmley - 09-03-2007
Dear Mark,
I hope that you find the book and the article of assistance.
It is as well to bear in mind the cultural differences in terms of the way the language is used. Egyptians tend to adopt what we might consider a 'judgemental' tone on these matters; we might, of course, think that is entirely appropriate; but given the different linguistic sensibilities in our society here, we might also find the language a little off-putting. I am glad you have read it in the right sense, as the article (and the book) offer excellent advice.
It is a terrible shame that the media focuses on this issue as though Christianity did not equally condemn adultery, fornication and lust outside of marriage; personally I await the 'Adulterous Church movement'. The whole point is that we are God's children and He advises us what is healthy for us - and the indiscriminate indulgence of our carnal passions is not good for us - or for those round us. Whether those passions direct us towards a member of the same sex or the husband or wife of someone else, or to exploit any other human being for sexual purposes, is surely irrelevant? All are equally wrong.
The homosexual who claims he or she was 'born that way' is no different from the heterosexual male who claims he can't help sleeping with lots of women because 'I'm made that way'; all equally glory in their sin; they both transgress Divine Law; they both do damage to their own souls and those of others.
We are called to repentance and amendment of life; God does not offer 'exeats' because 'you can't help it', or because 'I was born that way.'
God knows our nature, our true nature, and He sent His only-begotten Son into the world so that we might, through His body and His blood. realise our true nature. Through Grace and Works, and through the Sacraments, we have the promise of Salvation - but we have to work at it.
How odd mankind can be. Its members are happy to pay a fortune to train their bodies in a gym, or to be able to pamper them by flying to pleasure resorts in far-flung parts of the world; but ask us to put some work in on our spiritual welfare and we're 'too busy'.
The Church as gymnasium for the soul? Not a bad analogy to accompany my usual one about it as a hospital for the sick at heart.
In Christ,
Thanks - Mark Fletcher - 09-03-2007
Thanks for your posting, John, which contains the usual wisdom and insight. I strongly agree with what you have written.
- Simon - 10-03-2007
As I can think of nothing to add to John's postings I will content myself with an AMEN
Indeed. - Mark Fletcher - 11-03-2007
Yes, indeed. Amen and amen. Thanks for that.
Re: Care - mourad - 07-10-2007

If I may humbly add to the Mr. Charmley's statement a short one from Fr. John Anthony McGuckin: Speaking of St. Cyril's Christology: how The Incarnate God experiences all other human factors:
Quote: Like the other Fathers, Cyril excludes the the experience of sin from Jesus, something which he sees as not essentially "human" in any case, merely a perversion of true humanity.
I find it cause for much joy and hope that sin was not a part of God's plan for us. In that it is comforting, when sometimes losing hope while pondering over my many sins, to bring back to mind that to which I was called: a humanity refelcting the Image and Likeness of The Godhead, fully alive, and that, in the measure of abundunce which Our Lord provides.

Coveney talks of 'golden age' for Irish food sector
Published 04/12/2013 | 02:30
"People will look back on this decade as a golden age for Irish food."
This was the Minister for Agriculture's Simon Coveney's summing up of the world of opportunity that is opening for the Irish agriculture sector.
Minister Coveney was speaking at the launch of the Government's latest commitment to food and forestry research, where 51 projects were announced as the recipients of over €26m of funding.
"Ireland is moving from being an exporter of mere commodities to one that exports premium products, not just of food, but also in terms of knowledge and innovative services," he said.
"There was a time when the Department of Agriculture was very much about farmers and fishermen, but it is now much broader than that.
"I want Ireland to be a food Silicon Valley and research and development (R&D) is central to that. We need R&D that can double the output of this sector over the coming decade," added the minister.
The Government has sunk over €100m into food research over the last two years, in everything from fluke control to reducing the cost of dealing with waste water from dairy processing.
The majority of this is going to Teagasc and our universities, but some is also being allocated to research institutions north of the border.
"I think we've an obligation to partner with Northern Ireland and I'm confident that we'll benefit too. Northern Irish facilities, data and researchers that aren't available in the South are being put at our disposal," said Minister Coveney.
Over €13.5m is being awarded to Teagasc, with UCD securing €6.6m and UCC, NUIG, TCD and DIT sharing another €6m.
It follows research grants of €6.3m that were announced last May, along with €37.5m for Teagasc research and €8.4m for the Marine Institute during the last 12 months.
Minister Coveney believes investment in the food sector is vitally important to sustain economic activity in rural areas.
"The beauty of the food sector is that it stimulates the economy all over Ireland, not just Dublin.
"Three or four extra jobs in Connemara are worth more than 20-30 jobs in Dublin in terms of maintaining the social fabric of the country," he said.

Teacher's fair
Certified teachers are invited to join the New Orleans charter school movement by attending the Eastbank Collaborative of Charter Schools' (ECCS) seventh annual New Orleans Charter Schools Certified Teacher Fair April 27, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the Third Floor Ballroom of the Xavier University Student Center, 4980 Dixon St.
"Full and part-time positions are available for certified teachers and those who will be certified by May, 2013," said ECCS President Kathy Riedlinger. Interested teachers are encouraged to register online at www.eastbankcollaborative.com by April 15.
Teacher candidates who preregister by April 15 will have exclusive access for the first hour of the event, from 9 a.m. – 10 a.m., but are required to bring a copy of their Event Brite ticket for early admission. Walk-ins and candidates who register after April 15 are welcome from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. Additionally, pre-registrants will have the option to have their resumes posted for all charter school leaders to review on the ECCS website.
"Principals and administrators will conduct on-site
screening interviews at the Teacher Fair and share information about the
benefits of working at charter schools," said ECCS Director Dr. Rose
Peterson. "Teachers and aspiring teachers should bring multiple copies
of their resume, teaching certificate, references and any other relevant
information for immediate consideration."
The fair is sponsored by the ECCS with support from the Louisiana Association of Public Charter Schools (LAPCS), School Leadership Center (SLC) of Greater New Orleans, and the Pro Bono Publico Foundation. Charter schools from across Louisiana are invited to attend. It is anticipated that over 50 schools will be represented.

Senior Counselor and College Advisor Kellie Camelford was a presenter April 15 at the Louisiana Career Development Association annual state conference.
Camelford's presentation, "Transitioning Junior and Senior High School Students for College and Career Readiness," was featured for licensed practitioners and counselors throughout the state. The presentation explored various techniques to help students discover their identities and identify their passions so they are more prepared to pick a college, a major, and a future career.
The Key Club won the non-traditional scrapbook competition as well as the Single Service Award in the Gold Division at the 70th annual District Convention in Lafayette.
The club won the award for its health fair at Marie Riviere Elementary, which was funded by the Brown Foundation.
Junior Reagan Sandoz also was elected district secretary/treasurer, and junior Kelly Owens was elected lieutenant governor for Division 4-A.

Space station arrival delayed for U.S.-Russian crew
MOSCOW -- A software glitch on a Russian spacecraft heading to the International Space Station has delayed the arrival of three astronauts, including an American.
NASA said the crew was in no danger, and the U.S.-Russia space partnership was strong despite tensions over Ukraine.
The Soyuz spacecraft carrying Russians Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Artemyev and NASA's Steve Swanson blasted off successfully early Wednesday and was scheduled to dock six hours later. But because of the glitch, the arrival was pushed back until late today.
Since the 2011 retirement of the U.S. space shuttle fleet, NASA has depended on the Russian spacecraft to ferry crews to the orbiting outpost and is paying Russia nearly $71 million per seat. This cooperation has continued despite tensions over Russia's annexation of Crimea and U.S. calls for harsher sanctions on Russia.
The Soyuz booster rocket lifted off as scheduled at 3:17 a.m. local time Wednesday from the Russian-leased Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. It entered a designated orbit about 10 minutes after the launch and was expected to reach the space station in six hours. All onboard systems were working flawlessly, and the crew was feeling fine.
NASA and Roscosmos, Russia's space agency, said the docking arrival had been delayed after a 24-second engine burn that was necessary to adjust the orbiting path.

What you have there is a "Sportsman" model 999. I have one with a four inch barrel, and bought it new in the early eighties for $125.
It has been quite accurate and reliable. Occasionally it will fail to extract one of the rounds; the extractro star will lift past or beyond the round, leaving it in the cylinder. I've not paid attention to whether it is the same cylinder every time to determine whether the extractor is at fault, or if it is just a defectively dimentioned round.
Lately, one of the two screws that give windage; lateral adjustment to the rear sight had loosened, due to vibration I presume, and I lost the rear sight blade. I bought a replacement at Numrich for $5.50 -plus a whopping $6.00 to ship a 1/10 oz. part!
Be sure to coat the sight adjusting / installation screw threads with locking compound.
By the way, the front sight blade is elevation adjustable by means of the small screw in the barrel just above the muzzle. And on a little 22 revolver.
It resembles the British Webley doesn't it. A top break action that will gather attention from enthusiasts at the range.
June 15, 2006, 10:00 PM
Lately, one of the two screws that give windage; lateral adjustment to the rear sight had loosened, due to vibration I presume
All the 999s do that, they all need locktite. He might not have a 999, though, easy is right about the multiple models.
June 16, 2006, 12:47 AM
I have a solid frame H&R. I'd like a break action.
They're the same company that still makes break-action long guns, owned by Marlin now. http://www.hr1871.com/
Some of the parts from their old revolvers are still being produced, but only to shoot blanks.
June 16, 2006, 02:41 AM
Whoa James T. Thomas, easy is right. Until we see a picture or at least a good discription it could be a Sportsman or a Mod 922 which is a solid frame swing-out cylinder 9 shot .22 Lr revolver.
June 16, 2006, 06:53 AM
Or it might be like this little Model 923 (http://xavierthoughts.blogspot.com/2006/03/hr-923-range-report.html). Without more information, it is difficult to say much about it. Most H&R .22 revolvers are worth somewhere between $50 and $125 on the used market.
I did a Range Report on this little Model 923 here (http://xavierthoughts.blogspot.com/2006/03/hr-923-range-report.html).
June 17, 2006, 08:37 PM
It's a Model 929 Itook it to the range and itshoots and feels fine any info including price would be appreciated.
June 17, 2006, 08:46 PM
An H&R 929 in decent shape usually brings $100-125 on the used market.
June 18, 2006, 12:37 AM
The H&R 999's are truely great American pistols. I lost my first 999 several years back and have only found one to relace it since then. Not as nice condition as the one I bought new in the late seventies, but still a fun revolver which I shoot it frequently.
The break top .22 is a design someone (Taurus?) should bring back.
I also have a couple of 629's- they are very basic .22 revolers with a pull pin cylinder. I'm very partial to them- the first handgun I ever shot was my Uncle Norman's 629 when I must have been about ten years old.
The H&R's and Iver Johnsons were very well made, and I always look for good specimens at gun shows.

Here is my 929 for your reference:

June 22, 2006, 09:00 AM
Mine was made in 1967 it's not as clean as yours but I like it anyway.
December 2, 2006, 03:52 PM
I just made a good ( hopefully ?) buy on a H & R 929 in great shape
I was wondering when it was made?
serial # AJ 50392
any help will be appreciated......

I had a chance to handle an 8-shot 22Magnum H&R once...seemed very well put together. It was a snubby with a swing-out cylinder.
Something like that for about $125 or so would be one hell of a good deal. H&Rs are NOT made of "pot metal" and are in my opinion under-rated.

I love those little guns. I had a lot of fun when I was a kid out in the woods
of East Texas shooting one. I would not mind getting one for plinking again.
Man that brings back memories. :)
December 2, 2006, 05:17 PM
Congrats! Neat Guns these H&Rs, maybe we all need to bug the fire out of H&R / NEF to bring these back.
Simple, easy to use, light enough for kids, new shooters to learn correct basic fundamentals on, as they do not yet have the stamina and grip strength yet.
Fun! Oh yeah, let us not forget the Fun Factor.
Another H&R that is nifty is the Break Open (999) it too had "pointability" like all the H&Rs did.
Ammo is not expensive, and being a revolver, action not dependent on ammo to run. Heck the less expensive ammo that might not work in a semi - sometimes proved to be the most accurate in these things.
Maybe we do need to bug H&R/ NEF for a return to yesteryear in making these again. Some other mfgs have forgotten "us" shooters disguised as bigger kids.
December 2, 2006, 06:34 PM
I believe the blank-firing versions of these guns are still on the market.
Marlin bought out H&R, right? Do they just have a general policy against making handguns, or liability concerns?
December 2, 2006, 07:13 PM
I do not know.
I think we need to find out and let it be known this/these Revolvers are very much wanted and there is much interest in these.
We NEED a price point priced, simple .22 revolver. Do not get "goopy" , do not get into line extensions, do not try to "modernize" it. Just a simple, functional firearm that works.
Just like a good Barlow Knife we all used to get for a $1 out of the little bucket next to the hand cranked cash register at the hardware store.
Simple .22 revolvers still work, as do them old carbon steel Barlows.

Simple .22 revolvers still work, as do them old carbon steel Barlows.
According to the West Egg inflation calculator:
What cost $1 in 1965 would cost $5.96 in 2005.
What cost $1 in 1945 would cost $10.50 in 2005.
You can still buy an Opinel in that range, and it's a heck of a good carbon-steel folder, beech handle, nickel-plated locking ring. Just wish more American stores carried 'em, instead of cheap folders from some factory in China that licensed the Winchester brandname.
Any retailers out there? Buy a case of Opinels, put 'em by the digital credit-card reader, let us know how they sell at $7.50 each. That's half what a new Schrade costs, and Schrades are made overseas since 2005.

A good friend of min collect H&R revolvers. Real easy to collect. You can usually pic on up from $50 to $125. These were very well made Saturday Night Specials, inexpensive back when they were made but well built to last a long time. My friend say most are usually in good conditions because most of these guns were nightstand guns. 20 or 30 years ago someone would buy an H&R pistol for HD buy a box of ammo, load it up and stick it in a nightstand drawer and "never" shoot the thing until they pass away or buy something better. Most of the used H&Rs out there are in great condition.
December 2, 2006, 10:41 PM
I laugh at the "Survival" threads.
Having been through Civil Unrests that vary from two legged predators upset about politics, or looters after a Tornado, Flood or similar.
Four legged /Slithering pests after natural disasters.
Hiking, Camping, Trail use...
H&R .22 revolvers and .38spls, and H&R single shot shotguns, are proven.
Old Hickory carbon steel knives are proven.
Opinels, Barlows, Scout, Stockmans, and other old classic knives are proven.
Folks have used these forever, had them put back, hoarded them, kept in tornado shelters...and these are still being used.
Two of the most overlooked tools folks never think about or have when they need them and are the least expensive to have:
Pair of Nail Clippers
Pair of Tweezers
A simple H&R will shoot snakes after flooding due to a tornado.
Moving limbs and messing with debris, tweezers remove splinters, nail clippers trim toe/fingernails that are causing discomfort, and Old Hickory knives still spread peanut butter, slice Spam, whittle sticks to make a kindling for a fire.
If Marlin brings this H&R back - put a lanyard ring on the darn thing.

RFK conspiracy theories.

H&R revolver serial numbers beginning with "AJ" were made in 1974.

Have had a 2 1/2 929 nine shooter since I bought it new in 73. Have no idea how many thousands of rounds I have ran through it. It has literally been ran over by a truck, dropped in more than one stream and lake,....has filled many a pot with rabbit and partridge. Still have it,...still shoot it regularly. Use it to teach my grandsons. Wish they'd bring them back. This little piece stays in my field pack all the time. From .22 Shorts to CCI Stingers.... hard to beat.
March 29, 2008, 05:26 PM
For those who are asking about 999 prices i have sold 2 recently on Gunbroker. One was a very clean 999 supposedly unfired in the box that brought $375.00 and the second was a well worn 999 that sold for $225.00.
There are lots of folks looking for these guns for some reason. Maybe nostalgia or just because of their uniqueness.
March 31, 2008, 07:23 PM
The 676 is only double action .22LR/.22WMR revolver around. For accuracy, I'll put mine up against any .22 around. And, I can shoot double action!
The one with the 12" barrel shoots like a rifle. My eyesight is the only limitation.

The H&R rimfires are seriously under-appreciated, with a number of cool features. You can almost always score them for less than $200 even in mint condition; any wear whatsoever causes value to drop even further. They have good reliable safeties, close tolerances, triggers are mediocre to good (about like a typical Ruger) but improve with use.
I saw a snubbie 8-shot H&R in 22Magnum once that I would have *loved* to own, didn't have the money at the time (sigh).
Some of the best value for the money out there in rimfires.
April 2, 2008, 12:23 PM
I have an H&R 922, 6" barrel, sn 129130. It is in very rough shape, was among some of my late uncle's things which I inherited 10 yrs ago. The grip on one side is broken. Not functioning as is. Has an octagon shaped barrel. With it is a box of 22 extra long rifle ammo, which fits the gun. My basic question, should I just throw it away, or is there possibly anyone who would want any of the parts to restore one? NOTE: the ammo is marked EXTRA long rifle, not LR, and the gun is not marked, but the ammo fits. I'd appreciate any remarks or advice. thanks.

Last weekend I saw an H&R 922 9-shot .22 snubnose with a nickle finish at a local shop. All this talk about H&R .22s makes we want to head there this weekend and pick it up for $125.
My big hesitation when it comes to H&R revolvers is that I always seem to talk myself out of buying them by saying to myself "if I save the $100 some dollars I can get something better."
April 29, 2008, 07:27 PM
Sad story re a Ni-finished #930, SN beginning AM4XXXX. It hits high at 10-25yd - and the front blade is fixed. The previous owner gave it to me after he had ordered parts for it - a spring and strut - and the local 'shadetree' installed them. The little cup that bears against the hammer was inverted and the saddle the strut rides in was upside down, both actions putting tremendous pre-load on the little coil spring - so he clipped it. Hard trigger, so I took the spring/strut/saddle out and re-assembled - nice trigger now. Of course, it needed the missing spring length... I get five of nine go off the first time around, so ftfs from the light hammer spring. I need a full length spring... Brownell's has a 'common' spring for H&R's... anyone know if it works? I wish I could find my Wolff catalog.
The friend who bought this from the pawn shop ($65) just gave it to me - I do want to get it going and return it to him. I've never understood the desire gunsmith wannabe's have to clip/rebend springs. I had to lose more length to ease the nasty burr he left, too. I saw it once in a trigger return spring in a LN S&W 625MG - and a hammer leaf that had been 'reformed' - out of plane - both drug, giving a horrid trigger. The owner paid for that... and dumped the gun. I fixed it for a pair of springs!
Neat little .22.

Kourtney & Kim Take New York begins with the news of Kris and Kim's breakup, then flashes back to eight weeks earlier, as the newlyweds try to adjust to their new lives together. There was trouble from the beginning.
Living arrangements, professional commitments, personal habits – it seems Kim and Kris couldn't see eye to eye on much of anything.
First, the couple, who had never lived together before, decide to live with Kourtney and her boyfriend Scott – an arrangement that quickly turns sour after Kris fails to bond with Kourtney (whose new holistic lifestyle involves naked yoga) or her baby, Mason, whose play area was right outside the newlyweds' bedroom.
At OppositesKim and Kris also seem to be opposites when it comes to cleanliness. She's a neat freak, he's not. To make matter worse, he admits to intentionally leaving clothes strewn about just to get on Kim's nerves.
Then, perhaps most significantly, Kris doesn't seem interested in Kim's professional life – and he's worried about his own.
He has no time for the pomp and circumstance of Kim's big "Welcome to New York" party, making her do all the press and bristling when told it's time to cut their welcoming cake. "You care about that. I don't give a f––," he says.
Kris, an NBA player who usually works out in Los Angeles or Minnesota, also frets about getting used to training in New York. "Everything in New York is screwing me up. I don't feel like I'm in my training element," he says, after spending a late night out with Kim.
By the end of the episode, he tells Kim he's going back to Minnesota. "We're gonna live separate? Like a long-distance marriage?" Kim asks.
Early in the episode, Kris tells Kim: "You're my wife now. It's going to take a lot to get rid of me." By the end, it's not too surprising that it didn't take much at all.

NASA Quest
+ Search Quest
Liza Coe
"It's not a life – it's an adventure!"
For over 20 years now, I've been making my way to NASA Ames nearly every weekday morning – with the exception of a few swing and graveyard shifts – and also vacations! I began my career designing and developing computer imagery system (CGI) applications for flight simulation at NASA Ames' Vertical Motion Simulator (http://www.simlabs.arc.nasa.gov/vms/vms.html). This work included development of extremely high fidelity imagery for fixed wing and rotorcraft simulation, as well as head-up and head-down displays for the Space Shuttle and military applications. I later focused on incorporating graphic visual displays into wind tunnel data representation.
Having decided to enact my not-yet-middle-age crisis on the career front, I took leave for one year to attend Stanford's Teacher Education Program (STEP) to earn a Master's in Education as well as teaching credentials in mathematics and computer science. After returning to Ames I joined the Education Division and focused on the development of teacher education workshops. However, I had been seriously bitten by the academia bug and returned to Stanford's PhD program in Curriculum and Teacher Education, focusing on science education. The day before we leave for Chile, I will hopefully be able to secure that elusive sheepskin and celebrate with a nice long nap on the plane ride down!
My research has focused on how teachers leverage informal education experiences inside their classrooms. For my dissertation I was lucky enough to be able to work with teachers who, with their students, participated in week-long residential camps at the Marin Headlands – part of the Golden Gate National Receation Area and one of the components of the environmental education-based Yosemite National Institutes. While about half of my research time was spent doing classroom observations and interviews, I got to spend the other half hiking around the gorgeous Headlands and learning as much natural science as I could absorb. My PhD minor is in geology, so I got my fill of subduction zone morphology courtesy of the San Andreas Fault which has left its mark in numerous ways on the Headands.
Prior to the arrival of my two sons I took advantage of every field experience I could talk my way into. I spent several months on a tiny little island off the Katmai coast in Alaska excavating, identifying and cataloguing artifacts from an Indian civilization thousands of years old. Another favorite was spending a summer (their winter) in Western Australia tracing the Devonian extinction boundary in massive limestone and marble exposed reefs. Wanderlust has led me to spend many months (over time) working in and exporing the desert southwest as well as Alaska and, of course, California. If you ever need a travel guide on the West Coast, just let me know!
Now my time and energy (outside of work, of course!) is spent being mom to my two explorers-in-training. I am proud to say that they are world travelers and don't think twice about taking long plane rides to interesting places. They were both born in Russia and, since coming home have dragged their small carry-ons with Mom to Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, and just about everyplace in between. In between trips they go to kindergarten while Mom earns the money for the next trip!
Spaceward Bound is an incredibly opportunity for me to combine my love
for exploration and travel with my passion for education and working
with teachers!!

Justin Wants to Sing with Britney
'N Sync heartthrob Justin Timberlake, 20, wants to lend a hand to his girlfriend, Britney Spears, 19. Actually, he wants to lend his singing voice. Timberlake has told Rolling Stone that he is helping Spears move beyond her hugely popular bubblegum sound in favor of something edgier. Ultimately, he says, he would like them to do a CD together, which he envisions would be "huge." Describing Spears, whom he has known since their days together on "The Mickey Mouse Club," as "the cream of the crop," Timberlake went on to tell the magazine about his proposed collaboration. "I want it to be somethin' new that they haven't heard us do, that they didn't think we could do. I feel like we still have artistic growth to show . . . It definitely would be a spectacle," he told the magazine. For now, 'N Sync is in the midst of a U.S. stadium concert tour promoting its new album, "Celebrity," which hit stores on Tuesday. (The album is the follow-up to last year's "No Strings Attached," which set a record by selling 2.4 million copies in its first week of domestic release.) 'N Sync member Chris Kirkpatrick, dismissing critiques that the band's music is "bubblegum" pop, is quoted by ABCNEWS.com about "Celebrity" as saying, "We're rockers too, we're rappers, we're hip-hop artists."

A Police Officer Never Forgets
Blayne Doyle, a retired Florida police officer, had several harrowing experiences during his many years on the force. He was shot and stabbed and was involved in life-threatening automobile, motorcycle, and airplane accidents. But if you were to ask him which event stuck out as the most frightening, he would tell you that it was the day he was forced to shoot and kill an 8,000-pound rampaging elephant named Janet, who was carrying a woman and five children on her back. Yesterday was the 17th anniversary of this tragic event. Sadly, not much has changed in the intervening years. For example, the Liebel Family Circus, which tours throughout Florida, is currently using an elephant named Nosey to give rides.
Blayne has reached out to the governor of Florida, Charlie Crist, asking him to ban elephant rides in Florida.
The most shocking part to me is that, in 2004, a circus worker reported that Nosey attacked him during an appearance in Clinton, Iowa. While the worker was tending to the elephant's water dish, Nosey hit him with her tusk, lifted him off his feet, and propelled him down an incline. The worker was rushed to the hospital and received stitches for a head injury. But somehow it's safe to let children ride on Nosey's back? I don't think so.
So, Gov. Crist, won't you please ban elephant rides in Florida? By doing so, not only will you send the powerful message that elephants should not be abused for entertainment, you might also prevent history from repeating itself.
Written by Liz Graffeo
Commenting is closed.
Thanks for taking a stand Blayne. I wonder how long it would take for any of us to snap if we were brutally forced into a lifetime of isolation from other humans performing acts against our nature in foreign surroundings?
I remember when this incident happened and I have seen the footage shot of Janet while this was happening. It was absolutely horrifying for everyone especially Officer Doyle and his collegues and the passengers on Janet's back. This should never have happened and should never happen again. Parents please be strong and say a flat "No!" when the kids beg for an elephant ride at the circus or zoo. You can explain why when you get home in the excitment of the moment they won't be listening to reason.
Right on Blaynethanks for caring! One of the many parts of Earthlings that always chokes me up is when the elephant in the circus runs "amuck" read behaves naturally like the wild animal she is she is summarily killed. The contrast between her gay circus attire and her painful death makes it all the more difficult to stomach.
Please everyone must write to my Governor Charlie Crist to encourage this ban as well as a ban on traveling animal acts throughout Florida and everywhere for that matter. Aside from the issues related to animal cruelty no community can afford the economic catastrophe that follows these incidences those include lawsuits residential and commercial property damage and loss of business because of property damage to businesses. Furthermore the potential loss of life injury and emotional and mental scarring of the public who has to witness an out of control wild animal is equally as damaging to our local communities.

When you begin a work. you should read not only silently to yourself but also aloud -- the whole work if it is not too long. In addition to checking footnotes. look up words and references you do not know. You should be able to paraphrase the work so that you account for the important words and ideas. The following are some questions that you will find useful to ask when reading a work of literature. Although answers to the questions can most certainly be wrong, you will realize that such questions do not have neat "right" answers.
The section headed "Poetic Forms and Literary Terminology" in volume I of the Norton Anthology (pp. 2584-2598) contains brief discussions of these and other critical terms you may encounter. For fuller accounts. see M.H. Abrams. A Glossary of Literary Terms, and C. Hugh Holman. A Hand book of Literary Terms (copies of both are on reserve for English 200 in the library).
