Meningococcal disease
Effective May 18, 2005, the State of Alaska requires that all post-secondary educational institutions must provide information about meningitis and meningitis vaccine to all students who intend to reside in campus housing and requires that students sign a form indicating that they have either been vaccinated against meningitis or have received information about meningitis. See the text of law, including required information about meningitis below:
Sec. 14.48.165 of the Alaska Statutes reads as follows:
Immunization of postsecondary students
A postsecondary educational institution in this state shall provide written notice to each student who intends to reside in campus housing before the student's initial period of residence that includes the following information:
Meningococcal disease
- is a serious illness that can cause death within a few hours of onset; one in 10 cases is fatal, and one in seven survivors of the illness is left with severe disability;
- is a contagious but also largely preventable infection of the spinal cord fluid and the fluid surrounding the brain;
- Scientific evidence suggests that college students living in campus housing are at a moderately increased risk of contracting meningococcal disease; and
- Immunization against meningococcal disease decreases the risk of contracting the illness
Student Housing applications are available for the Fall 2016 & Spring 2017 academic year and we would like to promote our Housing options by offering the chance to win a $250 Alaska Airline gift certificate. Eight total gift certificates will be awarded. This incentive is open to both new and continuing residents.

WHITEHALL, MI – After 10 years of writing and performing music, singer-songwriter Brett Dame will release his first album at a show starting at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Howmet Playhouse in Whitehall.
Dame plays acoustic rock that can be compared to Jack Johnson, John Mayer and Lifehouse. Dame recently made the five-track EP, a compilation of old and new material, at a recording studio in Ann Arbor.
The Muskegon native has performed across the country and overseas, including a recently concluded two-year stint with the nonprofit international touring group, Young Americans. During his time with the music outreach group, Dame performed in Europe and Japan alongside lBroadway stars such as Hugh Panera, Anita Whitaker and Brian Stokes Mitchell.
Howmet Playhouse Manager Katie Trzaska said the event, produced by Dame, is another example of the theater's emphasis on Michigan performers.
"The playhouse is always happy to help promote up-and-coming Michigan musicians," Trzaska said. "It's going to be a really nice night of laid back, family friendly music ... I'm actually really excited for the event, I think it's going to be a lot of fun."
Trzaska said Dame's touring experience gives him an advantage.
"He's a young guy and really talented," she said. "He's got the right look and the right sound."
Singer-songwriter Mark Daisy will perform original songs as the opening act starting at 7:30 p.m. The Alma native has opened for such artists as Ryan Cabrera and Bushwalla.
"Mark has done a lot already. We've had some really small, unknown people and sometimes we get some really big names that come through," Trzaska said. "We have all levels of talent and notoriety coming though, so it will be nice to have Mark at the Playhouse."
Tickets are $8 and can be purchased in advance at Whitehall City Hall or at the door, which will open at 7 p.m.. The price includes one free CD per person or family. For more information visit www.howmetplayhouse.org or call 231-894-4048.

Hey Folks,
Disaster recovery sucks!
Okay, that said, I'm looking for a Linux solution for mirroring data
stored on Windows 2000/2003 servers. My current solution is, ironically,
unstable because it relies on the Windows OS it's trying to protect.
It would be nice if I could capture the entire drive of the servers so
they could be replicated on new hardware if need be... but I'd settle for
mirroring the mission critical data.
I'm currently looking at the possibility of doing this with rsync.
Anyone have any experience with doing something like this with rsync or
suggestions of other services I should be looking at?

The Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT) is designed to make astrometric, spectroscopic, and photometric observations of X-ray emission from Gamma-ray Bursts and their afterglows in the energy band 0.2-10 keV. In order to provide rapid-response, automated observations of these randomly occurring objects without ground intervention, the XRT must be able to observe objects covering some 7 orders of magnitude in flux, extracting the maximum possible science from each one. This requires a variety of readout modes designed to optimize the information collected in response to shifting scientific priorities as the flux from the burst diminishes.
The XRT will support three major readout modes: imaging, timing, and photon-counting, with several sub-modes. While all of these readout modes are based on readout techniques used on other missions, there are subtle but important differences. We describe in detail the readout modes of the XRT, and compare them with similar readout modes used on ASCA/SIS, Chandra/ACIS, and XMM/EPIC instruments. We describe the flux ranges over which each mode will operate, and the automated mode switching that will occur in the XRT. We also discuss the methods used for collection of bias information for this instrument.

LG Optimus G Pro ReviewLG Optimus G Pro 8.5
LG graced the Optimus G Pro with a large 3140 mAh battery, meaning more time between charges, though official talk and standby times aren't given yet. With such a large battery unit we've no doubt you can manage a full day of heavy use with the G Pro, and even two or three if you keep the screen off most of the time. In fact, we managed to pull a full weekend with average workload after breaking in the battery.
On top of that, the 3140 mAh unit is easily swappable, so you can grab an extra one to replace the exhausted juicer if needed while on a trip, or a place without easy outlet access. A quick charging functions seems to be present as well, since we managed to top off the battery from critically low to a hundred percent in less than one and a half hours.
LG is taking a sizeable risk by putting stellar specs in a 5.5-incher – despite that the phone is surprisingly compact and light for such a screen size, thanks to the minimum bezel, it still feels a bit unwieldy for anything but a Shaq-sized hand, though less so than the Note II with the same screen size, for instance.
Other than the size which won't appeal to everybody, the phone has most everything else nailed great, save for an average call quality in the earpiece, and the sluggish auto-brightness. We loved the programmable QButton and the IR blaster, which should be a staple for every flagship out there.
A direct competitor to the LG Optimus G Pro is the Galaxy Note II, which is less compact and with HD 720p resolution at the same screen size (265ppi vs G Pro's 401ppi), but features a stylus. If you want something more manageable, you can opt for the 5" Sony Xperia Z, which is no slouch, and sports a water-tight chassis, or go even more compact and nab a 4.7" HTC One with its amplified stereo speakers and large-pixel camera.
Besides the version for Korea we reviewed, the Optimus G Pro will be arriving globally in Q2, and LG specifically notes Japan and North America. The Japanese version sports a 5" Full HD display, whereas the Korean one here is with a 5.5" one, but which one will hit the rest of the world remains to be heard. For now you can only import the G Pro north of $800 SIM-free, but when the US or EU carrier versions get specified, we'll check them out for you, too.
Software version: JZ054K/F240L10k
LG Optimus G Pro Review:
- Very light and compact for the screen size
- Large 3140 mAh battery
- Flexible design lets you add memory or swap the battery
- Programmable QButton and an IR blaster allow more usage scenarios
- Good camera with HDR video abilities
- Too large for comfortable one-handed operation
- Hollow voice quality in the earpiece
- Finicky auto-brightness adjustments

5.5 is just too large.
But for people with that size preference... Good alternative to Note
8. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Hardly a Note alternative if it doesn't come with the equipment to take a note.
24. AamirSIII (banned) (Posts: 187; Member since: 04 Oct 2012)
i dont understand why people think S-Pen is so important? i have owned Note (N7000), Note 2 and Note 10.1... u only use S-Pen for like the first 5 days and thats it! its just a gimmick! its only useful to 2 kind of people:
1- those who have good drawing...
2-those who have a lottttttt of free time to waste doodling on their phones to show-off even if they have horrible hand writing...
its a fact! sammy made the stylus return only to sell its Note line of products and it was successful!
Note 2 is nothing more than a blown and stretched S3 and so was Note to S2! as a matter of fact, the flagship of sammy is S series not Note series...
44. Droiderr (Posts: 35; Member since: 05 Mar 2013)
By saying thet 2 is a streched S3 i think you mean that they streched the RAM too and doubled it.
63. hellt1M (Posts: 20; Member since: 10 Oct 2012)
you're kidding right... it has the same amount of ram... 2GB. same quad-core thats in the international S3. its almost completely identical with a stretched look... and a gimmicky pen that like the guy above said, is only useful for those 2 kinds of people.
21. zuckerboy (banned) (Posts: 898; Member since: 22 Dec 2011)
it is not important to make 5.5 screen size phone important thing is adding a features like note 2 . so this phone never be an alternative to note
41. AnTuTu (Posts: 1580; Member since: 14 Oct 2012)
lil brother of Note 2 :)

Device is amazing.. How do u accept Samsung with such devices.. I came across an interesting review online. LG Optimus review on gadget ride.com
2. sorcio46 (Posts: 435; Member since: 27 Jul 2011)
It has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 APQ8064T, and there are no mentions in the end about the performance?
5. Diego! (Posts: 575; Member since: 15 Jun 2009)
Because if you check all the videos surfing the web, you'll see it has some lagginess...
13. lpratas (Posts: 311; Member since: 09 Nov 2011)
Where you see laginess? I don't see any laginess at all. You need glasses because you see bad. I only see fluidity and speed in this phablet. With a chipset like the one that this phone use it's dificult to see any lagginess even that the LG UI was bad.
22. Diego! (Posts: 575; Member since: 15 Jun 2009)
Check youtube.
23. lpratas (Posts: 311; Member since: 09 Nov 2011)
I already checked and watched in youtube and i don't see nothing of lagginess, Must be your eyes. You only see HTC One and Xperia Z at your forward like others because you don't see nothing at not to be those phones.
25. Diego! (Posts: 575; Member since: 15 Jun 2009)
So you now can read my thoughts??? Wow, you must be very good at forecasting the future! Congratulations! And I can see well, btw.
68. dexter_jdr (Posts: 1163; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)

The optimus g pro looks like a galaxy note 2 LG version
28. Commentator (Posts: 3692; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
And the silver ring around the camera looks like it's from the One X.
45. Droiderr (Posts: 35; Member since: 05 Mar 2013)
Spot on.. Cheap copy cat
4. Diego! (Posts: 575; Member since: 15 Jun 2009)
More CONS:
- Rip Off / Evil Twin Sister of Samsung Galaxy Note II
- No Stylus
- Screen has an "inner" bezel
- Has some hiccups while scrolling... (check youtube)
- LG UI is exactly the same as Samsung Nature UX.
My Score: 5.5 for not being innovative with either design nor UI.
6. CX3NT3_713 (Posts: 2275; Member since: 18 Apr 2011)
More like a 9.0, IMO ..
7. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Benchmarks are slightly underwhelming for such a powerhouse. Overall it's problem is looking like the Note II but not having the same level of functionality, otherwise you can't really complain.
30. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Check the gsmarena HTC One preview. The Optimus G Pro actually benches higher overall.
10. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
Would definitely get this over Samsung, it looks similar but noticeably better than the note 2...and it also has a better processor ..so lg ftw
11. ddxmms (Posts: 170; Member since: 09 Feb 2012)
note III !
15. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Note III will definitely be much better than this.
I wouldn't even trade my NOTE II for this.
26. Diego! (Posts: 575; Member since: 15 Jun 2009)
Needless to say. LG sucks
12. amiroo (Posts: 269; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
lg faild when butterfly scores is 9/10..
one will be number1 this year.
14. lovefist (unregistered)
htc one is definitely the one this year.
29. lallolu (Posts: 472; Member since: 18 Sep 2012)
4mp camera is going to be the One's downfall.
46. Droiderr (Posts: 35; Member since: 05 Mar 2013)
Not to mention a tiny screen of 4.7"
31. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
No, I highly doubt it. The HTC One already has some serioulsy flags in design from what I see.
16. yero789 (unregistered)
This phone is great,but seriously LG?! I mean it looks like Samsung Galaxy Note :D :D They could've done something better with the design,considering how good was the LG Optimus G was with it's design...
32. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
The LG Optimus G was a one time collaboration between all the different divisions of LG. Since the phone didn't really make a dent in the market, that is unfortunately the last of it. They can't justify doing it again without the returns.
17. N-fanboy (Posts: 543; Member since: 12 Jan 2013)
I have never owned an LG smartphone before and it looks like staying that way... (N8,SGS2,XperiaS & Lumia920...so far)
18. lpratas (Posts: 311; Member since: 09 Nov 2011)
This is a good phablet and the people have to admit it. Only talk about the HTC One and the Xperia Z that don't have nothing of special and are worse phones compared with the new offers of this year of the part of Samsung and LG. You have to admit that Samsung has had good smartphones from 3 years ago and since the last year LG also has good smartphones. Today these two brands have the best android smartphones in terms of funcionality and features.
19. fanboy1974 (Posts: 1345; Member since: 12 Nov 2011)
As a Note 2 owner I like it a lot. It beats my screen, processor but lacks my s-pen. The one feature I love is the ir blaster. Don't know why phone OEM took away this component given that 95% of my gear is ir controlled.
But I don't think this phone will beat the Note 3. Samsung has shown that it can get very aggressive and will be gunning big time. Exactly why I love android. I say bring it on since Apple lacks the nuts to give us real competition in the large phone arena.
20. Cesar (Posts: 139; Member since: 16 Aug 2012)
looks like a Note II
27. TheLolGuy (Posts: 483; Member since: 05 Mar 2013)
I've gotta say -- I've had a few LG phones before and I haven't really had a problem with them. (apparently the 2x was causing a lot of ruckus though)
I really thought they struck gold with the design of the Optimus G/Nexus 4 design. As a modest LG fan, I can certainly see the big effort they've put in trying to become relevant again. So why is it, then, they suddenly gave up and used Samsung's design? That's only going to take you closer to them, but not past them.
I will say that they did improve on the original design (in my personal opinion) with the metal ring around the camera and LED notification light infused with the home button. They look cool.
Still -- they could've done an evolution of the original G design. The clean uniformly black front was absolutely stunning for me and I liked the modest design with no super wavy or curved lines. The things I like that it didn't have was a center-placed rear camera and maybe the speaker grill placement. That's pretty much it.
LG made some pretty stunning original designs in the past -- are they giving up or something?
33. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
If the Optimus G sold well like it deserved to, they would do it again. They can't really justify putting in the money though since it appeared to sell poorly. The Nexus 4 doesn't make them much and the Optimus G sold like crap.
34. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
This is where 5.5+ inch displays have a justification for 1080p resolutions. 400ppi is still amazing and well above the "retina" display or anything else we have seen. Anything with 460+ is overkill but thats just imo.
47. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
łehehe...i bet you said the exact thing about 300+:]
35. scsa852k (Posts: 329; Member since: 16 Oct 2012)
3 mistakes LG made with Opt G Pro
1. They decided to make a phablet their flagship device.
(There are a lot of people who don't prefer phablets just because of the size)
2. Copying the design of Note II is an understatement.
3. Do not have an outstanding feature that pops compared to Note II.
This is a great device no doubt, but what we see in this phone, we've seen already in Note II.
36. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Agreed. while it does have the higher ppi and less bezel....which, make no mistake about it...this is not near Edge to Edge like the RAZR M, so in truth, you are still holding a beast of a device like you are holding the Note 2.
But as you stated, it lacks several "phablet" like features that the Note 2 has and really, the higher ppi, the somewhat faster processor is not a good enough reason to pick this up instead of the Note 2. We all know Samsung will blow us away with the Note 3 as they did with the Note 2.
37. AceStorm1249 (Posts: 14; Member since: 16 Feb 2013)
This looks just like the note 2...
38. OGman (Posts: 10; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
Very excited about this phone, looks great.
39. Bentos711 (Posts: 2; Member since: 05 Mar 2013)
It kinda looks like the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 combined with the HTC One X.
40. GeekMovement (Posts: 2156; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
Wow, competition is tough this year. So far LG and Sony's new flagship devices both got 8.5 from phonearena. How will the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S IV do?
43. funkshit (Posts: 16; Member since: 12 Feb 2013)
In S. Korea, Optimus G Pro are sold out, and currently, it is best-selling product(More than Note II or GS3)
Best performance was qualified by a lot of users who bought one, and design, as well.(you would feel it's not like Note II, when you see the real products off-line)
When users asked whether to buy Note II or Optimus G Pro, totally major people choose the latter.
It's not too late to judge it after launching in your countries.
48. mahawa (Posts: 6; Member since: 11 Apr 2012)
This is an amazing device , specs are the best so far .But the thing is 5.5" is not suitable for everyone ,so you'll find many people are looking for something more compact to handle more easily in their daily life .But LG have done a very nice job with this one and i see that it is not fair to compare this with the note 2 because The G Pro has way more better hardware the note 2 and the Benchmark tests say that .
So if LG releases the Japaneese 5" model of this monster worldwide it's going to be a hit .
49. yasir-921 (Posts: 81; Member since: 02 Oct 2012)
Hey Danial P.
LG Optimus G Pro should be marked 9 out of 10, not 8.5. PLEASE CHANGE YOUR MARKING.
51. debugger919 (Posts: 25; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
Why samsung fanboys are so mad? I think this is a perfect phone.
53. beefalo (Posts: 16; Member since: 10 Nov 2011)
I am confused by this review. It at least matches the Note 2 in every way and does better in a few:
Much higher resolution with no pentile
LCD screen which offers better outdoor visibility
More compact form factor
Yet the Note 2 got a 9 and this got an 8.5? I actually would not get either given I am not interested in a phablet, but I would like to see some consistency in the ratings. The only real downside I saw on this compared to the note is lower voice call quality. Now I'm not saying this deserves a 9, but it deserves better than the note 2.....

Except this was release this year while the Note 2 was released LAST YEAR. Last year, Note 2's specs was very much deserving a 9 or probably a 10.

I was thinking that a 5" is the max I would go for, my brother has the 1st Galaxy Note and I thought it was too large at 1st.... but alas, everyone eventually gets used to it, unless you have small hands or simply just dont like it.
But for LG to have made the case so slim and compact is a big Thumbs up to them!
Im seriously considering of getting this as my next phone for the next 2 years +
It covers all the bases and the best of all worlds. Simple, fast(fastest out there but im not gonna nit pick on 0.1 Ghz... ppl who do are just plain stupid), will definately be a big replacement for my laptop when im on the move (which is quite often), and apart from having the largest battery out there (and i dont think any other manufacturer is coming with anything bigger), its also replacable!!!!!
We got a big winner here folks! Dont just be haters due to the brand, (however, you cant deny that LG has gone up tremendously with their hardware over the past year)
Love the technology, dont be foolish haters.

Regarding the S-Pen not being present on the Optimus G Pro, Do all tablets (being 7,9 or 10 inches) have pens?

Haters gonna hate...

Looks like a Samsung to me. Ok, LG, we gave you a pass when it came to the N4 but now this is getting ridiculous. Please come up w/something that doesn't closely resemble a phone that's already been done by another manufacturer, just once. Just try it.

Leigh, William Robinson:William Robinson Leigh was born in 1866 and grew up in rural West Virginia where he showed a very early aptitude for art. Born into a family that had lost their fortune in the Civil War, Leigh was able to attend the Maryland Institute in Baltimore at the age of fourteen through the generosity of his aunt and uncle. He excelled at the institute and left to study at the Royal Academy in Munich only a few years later. He studied in Germany for another 12 years and returned to America with a mastery of the techniques of the Old European masters. While he had long dreamed of venturing into the American West to stoke his artistic imagination, the necessity of earning a living led to his decade long work as an illustrator for the leading illustrated publications of the day, such as Collier's and Scribner's. Like his contemporary Frederic Remington, Leigh bristled at the constraints and lack of creativity in terms of subject matter and style that were necessary in the illustration market. He felt that his true artistic talent would not reach its full potential until he could put aside his work as an illustrator. In 1897, he had made a brief trip to Wyoming for Scribner's magazine to gather material for a story on western wheat farmers. That trip whetted his appetite for more travels in the West, but economic necessity would keep him away from fulfilling that dream until 1906, when he entered into a mutually beneficial arrangement with the Santa Fe Railroad. In exchange for free passage to the Southwest, Leigh agreed to paint images of the Grand Canyon and other western subjects for use in the Railroad's advertising campaigns. Leigh had been invited by a friend from his Munich days to visit Laguna, New Mexico, and his contract with the Santa Fe railroad allowed him to spend several weeks soaking up the Southwestern landscape and culture. That initial trip was profoundly influential on his career and development as an artist. During the next several years, he traveled extensively in the Southwest, including the Yellowstone territory of Wyoming and Montana. While both Remington and Russell had highly successful but relatively brief careers, Leigh captured the beauty and drama of the American West with consistent quality for almost fifty years. In many ways his career marked the end of one era, the nineteenth century heyday of the great western illustrators and eye-witness artists, and the beginning of another, the modern era of contemporary western artists.

Newly appointed Douglas High School girls tennis coach Dan Hannah will hold a non-mandatory team meeting for Monday at 3:30 p.m. at the high school courts.
The meeting and training session is expected to cover about two hours, according to Hannah, who was named to the post on Tuesday. Susan Cowan had served as the team's coach for three seasons.
In 2013, the Douglas girls captured the Sierra League championship and advanced to the Northern Division I Region Tournament championship before losing to Reno High. Madelyn Landerfelt also finished as the region singles tournament runner-up as a freshman last fall.
Douglas County School District Superintendent Lisa Noonan said on Friday that efforts are ongoing to fill the opening for coach of the boys team.

The co-star of CBS's sitcom "Two and a Half Men" hosted the induction of three men and a woman into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame Saturday at NASA's Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida.
Emmy award-winning actor Jon Cryer served as emcee for the induction ceremony that reunited more than 20 Hall of Fame astronauts to honor 2010 inductees Guy Bluford, Ken Bowersox, Frank Culbertson and Kathy Thornton.
"So why is TV's Jon Cryer here?" the acclaimed actor and director posed to the audience. "I'm actually here because I am a 'space geek' and I think I represent space geeks everywhere. I have been one all my life and to be standing here at the Kennedy Space Center is just a fanboy dream come true."
By comparison, there was no question as to why Bluford, Bowersox, Culbertson and Thornton were selected to be the ninth class of space shuttle astronauts to be inducted into the Hall. The first African-American in space, the two space station commanders-turned-commercial spaceflight leaders and the record-setting spacewalker were a natural fit among the Hall of Fame's 73 other astronauts, 22 of whom attended the ceremony.
"One of the things that is striking to me is that in addition to the professional prowess, they are probably four of the most spectacular, just down-right good human beings that I had the opportunity to get to know during my time in the astronaut office," said 1996 enshrinee and current NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden about the 2010 class.
Dreams and plans
"I decided to chase the dream," said Bluford of his path to becoming an aerospace engineer and then an astronaut in his remarks following his induction by fellow STS-39 crew member and Johnson Space Center director Mike Coats.
"When I go out and talk to kids all the time, I tell them to work hard, aim high and chase their dreams. That's what I did," said Bluford, who flew on the first shuttle mission to launch and land at night as well as the first Spacelab flight directed by the German space agency and a Department of Defense classified mission.
"Unlike Guy I really haven't had a life plan," said Thornton, who was inducted by Dan Brandenstein, the commander of her second flight, the maiden mission of space shuttle Endeavour. "My career has been somewhat of a random walk and I owe a lot of what I have done to opportunities that came along and people who made those opportunities possible."
Thornton's "walks" included three excursions outside the shuttle, including two spent repairing the Hubble Space Telescope. Until 2007, she held the world record for the longest spacewalk performed by a female astronaut.
Thornton thanked Brandenstein for giving her the chance to do to her first spacewalk on STS-49.
"That would have been an easier decision to give to someone who was less vertically-challenged than I, but he took a chance on me and I'll forever be grateful for that."
Though Culbertson joked that he was still surprised about having been selected an astronaut, let alone being a Hall of Fame astronaut, he said flying was always the plan.
"Unlike Kathy, I did have a plan. I had planned since I was 11 to be a Navy pilot, and since I was 12 to be a test pilot and since I was 13 to be an astronaut. That was a long wait between the time I actually got selected and a lot of potential side tracks and side trips, but I always wanted to do that," Culbertson said following his induction by Bolden.
"This is a tremendous honor for me. It is a real privilege to be a member of this club. I always felt privileged to serve the country and to be a member of both the military and the astronaut corps, but most of all to be a member of the NASA team," said Culbertson, a veteran of three space missions including the third expedition to the International Space Station, when he served as commander.
"There is nothing more important than moving the frontiers further and further out and this is the community that does it. This is the one that takes the risks, whether you fly in space, you make the decisions to fly in space or you put the wrench to the bolt and tighten it to the right amount," he said.
"It takes a lot of courage to do that and allow somebody, or help somebody, get into that seat and ride that rocket," said Culbertson.
Culbertson today manages human spaceflight projects for Orbital Sciences, one of two companies with contracts to build commercial cargo spacecraft for NASA. Culbertson's counterpart at the other company, Bowersox, saw the first test flight of SpaceX's rocket successfully reach orbit just the day before his induction.
"This is a great day for me," remarked Bowersox following his enshrinement by Dick Covey, the commander of his second shuttle flight. "Yesterday was a great day because we got to launch a new rocket for the first time."
"And today I get this really neat medal and I get to sit up here with folks who taught me everything I know about space exploration and folks who I didn't get to work with when I was in the astronaut office but who inspired me when I was a kid. Even if I never became an astronaut, which was something I always wanted to do, they helped me get to study science and technology in school and learn things that were very important to accomplishing my dreams," said Bowersox.

haha voted again
that's mad cool
ahem fake accounts ahem
other than that…. it's like..a garbage dump of clip art..
Gross… this is terrible, all it is, is so clip art shit but together to make a friggen tree
If you don't want to be nice then don't leave a comment. Your negativity is not welcome here. Love the shirt btw!
how come everybody who's defending you has an account made today.
dudley is right and if you have something mean to say just keep it to yourself because this is a cool design and id love to wear it on a t shirt so sic transit gloria cool down
Sounds like we're getting a little interaction here. I think DBH may keep an eye on IP address. It would make sense if they did. Agree that Dagnis puts alot into his designs. There are others here that do the same. Real designs will win out. The best usually does.
fuck everyone whos talking shit, leave this kid be, you all are just dicking on a sophmore in high school like you need to chill out, if you dont like the shirt then say so dont try and come up with all of this criticism. if your gunna criticize him make it constructive, not an asshole thing.
you must have some stellar friends, cause I think most people would be hard pressed to find 50 friends to sign up for an account all in the same day to vote on your shirt. and on top of it they all talk in the exact same manner ! wow !
it doesnt matter anyways, you can get 1000 votes.
Judges will take one look at it and pass it on.
this sucks and u r faking accounts to vote on this shit
"The amount of time a submission remains in the running before either being selected as a winner or moving to the archive section is anywhere from 1 day to 120 days, depending on many factors such as the number of votes the submission has received, the rate at which it has received the votes, where the votes are coming from, the comments on the submission, and where/from whom comments are coming from."
— 47 votes coming from your own friends aren't really going to help you here. have a nice day.
DBH should really make a block on accounts per ISP or something… cause it's rediculous that this piece of crap is on the top of most popular because some jerk off made 100 fake accounts.
multiple accounts and all that aside im really not a big fan of this. even if all that was made by you it doesn't make any sense at all. a bone, the sun, a leaf, a parrot, a lightbulb, a load of random symbols and a hand pointing? seems like you just got a load of pre-existing shapes and jumbled them up and added some colours. next time you should do it by hand. it will look better and it will actually be your own work, not a computers. sorry to bitch but thats just my opinion.
yes but dagnis's design has composition, a good balance of colours and and has thought through how it would look on a t shirt and presented his idea well. I really don't think you should compare your skills to him just yet do you?
even if you got friends to come here… they're still making multiple accounts
either way it's not people on here that are voting for it, it's friends your hauling in who are also talking shit on other designs that took far more work than this. and THEIR negativity is not appreciated here.

Presenting his films at the conference will be the highly-acclaimed Portuguese director Pedro Costa, who, in films such as In Vanda's Room (2000), takes us into dark, squalid rooms of immigrants in the slums of Lisbon. The austere beauty of his films navigates between intimacy and distance. A major concern of the conference will be the co-extensiveness – or otherwise – of interior scenes and psychic interiority.
However, the interior will be seen not as a purely discrete or withdrawn 'personal' domain, but as informed and sometimes disrupted by the political experience of space at large. In crossing intimate thresholds, what do films reveal about those wider, geopolitical boundaries and transnational forces that inevitably come to bear upon our private existences?

I'm not all right with showing skin: Nazriya
By Rinku Gupta - CHENNAI
Published: 08th October 2013 07:42 AM
Last Updated: 14th October 2013 01:28 PM
Nazriya Nazim, is one angry 18-year-old today. The focus of her ire is the presence of certain scenes done by a body double (of a women's hip being pinched) for her film with Dhanush, Naiyyandi, slated for an October 11 release. The actor, has raised the issue with the Nadigar Sangam on Sunday. Speaking to CE, from Kerala, where she's shooting for Om Shanthi Oshana, Nazriya sheds more light on the issue.
What is the reason for your complaint to the Nadigar Sangam?
I came to know that certain scenes were released in the trailer, showing a body double instead of me. There is a close-up shot of a woman's waist being pressed. The placement of it, is suggestive that it's the heroine, when in fact I never did any such scene. I'm afraid, that if they have shown this in the trailer, there may be more scenes in the film itself. I have spoken about the matter to Radha Ravi sir of the Nadigar Sangam, and will be officially handing him a letter soon.
Did you approach director Sargunam for an explanation?
Yes, I did. He told me that since I had refused to do such scenes, he had used a body double in my place. I had made my discomfort with intimate scenes clear to him. But I never knew he would go ahead and shoot them with a dupe! To the general audience, using a dupe in such scenes would suggest that I did them, when in fact it's not so! I don't want any character I play, to be portrayed with any sort of skin show or intimacy. This is hugely upsetting.
What sort of redressal are you expecting?
I want them to remove all the scenes that I have not done. I want to see a preview of the movie, before its release.

Purchasing your next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform(s) was a major decision. Now that you have purchased a platform, how do you maximize the greatest potential for your investment? Realizing this potential requires efficient workflow strategies, careful experimental design, comprehensive targeted enrichment technologies, data analysis, management, and integration, in addition to maintaining your platform and people management all at maximum production. The central theme at Cambridge Healthtech Institute's Inaugural Beyond Sequencing: Strategies for Success is efficient utilization of your NGS platform. Sessions will focus on common bottlenecks, case studies, real-world experiences and solutions from experienced users.

A Novel Web 2.0 Solution to Address the NGS Data Analysis BottleneckAndreas Sundquist, Ph.D., CEO, DNAnexusDNA sequencing output has completely outstripped the pace of Moore's law, making a data analysis bottleneck inevitable. At the same time, sequencing costs have plummeted, bringing large-scale sequencing projects within the grasp of more institutions. New, easily accessible informatics solutions are needed to enable researchers to fully harness the advancements in DNA sequencing technology for practical use. DNAnexus will present an integrated, web-based sequence analysis platform powered by cloud computing that removes the data analysis bottleneck from next-generation sequencing.

Closing the Gap in Time from Raw Data to Real Science - Science as a Service (ScaaS)Justin H. Johnson, Director of Bioinformatics, Edge Bio
Next generation sequencing has drastically changed the traditional infrastructure within the sequencing community. There are several technologies that show promise, but it is not always intuitive where to start. This uncertainty is compounded by the fact that commonly used bioinformatics tools are difficult to build and maintain as well as require vast amounts of compute resources. Many solutions and platforms, such as cloud computing, offer promises that address one or a small number of these challenges, but the inherent challenges with these are rarely discussed. Edge Bio will present information, research and case studies on how they facilitate Science as a Service (ScaaS) to the community through a technology agnostic approach, taking each individual project from conception and design through informatics and analysis.
9:55 Networking Coffee Break, Poster and Exhibit Viewing
10:45 Striking a Balance between Sequence Production and Sequence Management
William Farmerie, Ph.D., Associate Director, Interdisciplinary Center for Biotechnology Research, University of Florida
DNA sequencing technology is rapidly evolving toward increased productivity at lower cost. These two factors combined with recently developed applications drives higher demand for DNA sequence acquisition. Keeping our capacity for sequence data management in balance with sequence production is both a concern and a dynamic challenge for facility managers. We combine commercial products with locally-derived solutions by recognizing that each approach has strengths and benefits.
11:15 Next-Generation Sequencing at the FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition: A First Year Assessment
Marc Allard, Ph.D., Research Microbiologist, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, FDA
This presentation will explore the process of setting up a next-generation sequencing laboratory, including both the laboratory instrumentation and meaningful data analysis. The milestones for this project include: the ability to provide all of the data generated from analysis of Salmonella enterica genomes of 116 foodborne pathogen cultures coming from isolates from the worst foodborne outbreaks over the last 20 years within the USA. We have also developed software that allows us to compare complete genomes of hundreds of taxa at a time, and the software outputs all the gene alignments and SNPs present in each Salmonella genome compared.
11:45 Close of Session
12:00 pm Luncheon Presentation
The $6,000 Genome and BeyondMichael Rhodes, Ph.D., Product Applications Senior Manager, Applied Biosystems, Inc.
The amazing growth in the capabilities of Sequencing Platforms has outstripped Moores law over the past few years, both in terms of increases in throughput and decreases in cost of sequencing. Life Technologies is the world's leading sequencing company and has a complete portfolio of sequencing solutions from a single capillary machine through to ultra high throughput sequencing, with single molecule solutions available soon.
This growth in throughput and range of solutions has made the decision on what solution to select challenging. With the ability to easily generate enormous volumes of data the challenges have moved to workflow and data analysis. The intellectual challenge becomes the process of designing and constructing libraries so that the desired information is sequenced and then extracting that data from the resultant sequences.
In this talk, various technologies will be presented, including the SOLiD™ system and Single Molecule Sequencing. The SOLiD 4 system generates up to 100 gigabases of mapped data in a single run, some of the applications successfully carried out on the SOLiD system include:
Complete cancer genome re-sequencing, single cell transcriptome analysis, Methylation and de Novo sequencing. The latest applications will be presented including results and data analysis and automation solutions.
The SOLiD instrument is For Research Use Only, and is not intended for any animal or human therapeutic or diagnostic use.

Statistical Challenges in mRNA-Seq
Sandrine Dudoit, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Biostatistics and Statistics; Chair, Graduate Group in Biostatistics, University of California, Berkeley
This talk concerns statistical methods and software for the analysis of high-throughput transcriptome sequencing (mRNA-Seq) data. We will report on our investigation of several mRNA-Seq datasets in organisms from yeast to human. Additionally, we will address the process of deriving accurate measures of (differential) expression for genomic regions of interest (ROI) such as individual exons or multiple isoforms of a given gene.
2:45 Defining Genome Sequences and Their Quality in an Ever-Changing Sequencing Technology Landscape
Patrick Chain, Ph.D., Scientist IV and Team Leader, NGS & Metagenomic Applications, Genome Science Group, Bioscience Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory
With an array of rapidly-adopted ultra-high throughput sequencing technologies, there also has been a wider array of genome sequencing "products." For example, while prior efforts to obtain genome sequences required international efforts and collaborations among the world's most productive genome institutes, now even small centers produce sufficient data of a novel genome to perform targeted analyses. To continue to make the most of available sequence information, we propose a graded approach to characterizing genome sequences.
3:15 An NGS Data Management and Analysis Pipeline for Studying Genetic Diversity in Maize
Qi Sun, Ph.D., Co-Director, Computational Biology Service Unit, Life Sciences Core Laboratories, Cornell University
In this study, we used the Illumina platform to sequence a large collection of maize inbred lines as well as a mapping population. A pipeline of data management, analysis and visualization tools was created for the maize project. We are developing a distributable software package with a web user interface so that this pipeline can be applied to other population studies.
3:45 Networking Refreshment Break, Poster and Exhibit Viewing
4:15 Next-Generation Infrastructure
David Dooling, Ph.D., Assistant Director, Genome Center, Washington University
Analyzing vast amounts of human cancer sequence data from dozens of sequencing instruments requires researchers to devote thought and money to issues like software engineering and storage architecture, issues which researchers have traditionally handled "behind the scenes." This talk will compare and contrast software frameworks and hardware infrastructures, including cloud computing, currently being evaluated for next-generation sequence data analysis applications like cancer and metagenomics.
4:45 Building a Genome Sequencing Center: Managing and Mining Two Years of NGS Data
Stuart Brown, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Center for Health Informatics & Bioinformatics, New York University School of Medicine
NYU has created a Genome Sequencing Center which has operated an illumina GAII for a bit less than two years and a 454 GS-FLX for about 6 months. We have created and modified our data management and data analysis workflows several times to cope with vendor upgrades while providing rapid access to processed data for our clients/investigators. We have participated in a number of projects including ChIP-seq, cancer transcriptome mutation screening, micro-RNA discovery, and de novo assembly of microbial genomes.

5:15 Buyer Beware: Limitations of Whole-Exome Sequencing Capture Methods and the Search for Rare, Mendelian Variants
Kevin Jacobs, Ph.D., Director, Scientific Operations and Bioinformatics, SAIC-Frederick, Inc. and Core Genotyping Facility, Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute
New technologies such as 'whole'-exome sequencing capture methods have led to renewed excitement about discovering rare, Mendelian, high-risk susceptibility gene variants in humans. To assess the currently available sequence capture approaches with respect to coverage across the exome, we evaluated the content and the empirical performance of the currently-available 'whole'-exome sequence capture methods [NimbleGen Sequence Capture 2.1M Human Exome Array; Agilent SureSelect Human All Exon Kit] on three sequencing platforms [454 FLX Ti (4 runs); ABI SOLiD (1 quadrant); Illumina GA II (2 lanes)]. The protein coding sequences (CDS) reported in the RefSeq database (build 36.3) served as the gold standard for our assessment. NimbleGen capture probes target 77% of CDS bases and Agilent capture probes target 83% of CDS bases. We observed 21.5 Mbps (65%), 25.0 Mbps (76%) and 23.4 Mbps (71%) of the 33.0 Mbps of CDS with ≥8x sequence depth for Nimblegen/454, Agilent/SOLiD, and Agilent/Illumina, respectively. Since identification of rare gene variants requires high per-gene coverage, we also computed the proportion of genes with >90% of CDS bases covered with ≥8X sequence depth. Only 42%, 55%, and 45% of genes were covered by Nimblegen/454, Agilent/SOLiD, and Agilent/Illumina, respectively. Since coverage across the gene CDS is incomplete, failure to identify a causal mutation should be interpreted cautiously. It is notable that many characterized genes are not included in this first generation whole-exome capture products and that only 40-50% of genes are well covered across all known exons with the amount of sequencing performed. Our results underscore the limitations of current 'whole'-exome capture products and have important implications for designing studies in families and unrelated populations. In spite of the limitations, these products may still be useful to screen for disease variants within exons that are satisfactorily covered. The design of future 'whole'-exome capture products will likely be more expansive and performance will likely improve; however, careful attention must be paid to coverage in practice.

Texte de Sarah Turnbull
The narrator is called Sarah.
« On a winter's day in January under a watery sun, my plane touches down at Charles de Gaulle airport. Once again I'm struck by the ambivalent appearance of the place. I wonder if this rundown spaceship is a sort of metaphor for France; if this country is in some respects ultramodern and sophisticated yet in other ways behind the times. But a couple of things are different from my arrival here last summer. The weather, for starters. And this time Frédéric's punctual! Waiting for me with a spare, thick woolly jumper because it's an especially cold day and he's worried I'll freeze outside. We met up for only one weekend in the last four months but we spoke a lot over the phone and gradually going to Paris had come to seem like the only sensible solution. There'd been no talk of whether I'll give it two months, six months, or a year. Like many life-changing decisions, the move to Paris was decided with little thought of the consequences. I am totally ignorant of what lies in store. Frédéric is not the sole reason for staying on in Europe, though. The truth is, I'm not ready to go home. And feeling ready is hugely important when your country is so far away from the rest of the world. No Australian or New Zealander wants to end their working holiday in London only to be haunted later by the thought of unlived adventures. Because once you go all the way back, you're there to stay, goes the logic. Oh sure, you'll travel and go abroad again but future trips will not stretch towards infinity like this one, they won't contain so many possibilities. Heading home is the fullstop marking the end of adventure; the beginning of a responsible life. And despite twelve months of travelling, I am not ready to be responsible. The television network I worked for in Sydney had given me one year leave without pay from my job. Sitting at the dining table of what is now my new home, I write to say I'm not coming back. This is not an especially difficult decision. I'd spent five good years at the Special Broadcasting Service, the national television network set up to serve Australia's ethnic communities. But now, in my late twenties, I'm wary(1) of being stuck in a professional rut(2). The time seems right to take a risk. In my mind, Europe is simmering with exciting opportunities for a journalist. It's just a matter of finding them. Still, the prospect of living in France is daunting(3). I have no job, no friends here and I barely speak the language. Frédéric and I are living together after little more than a month in each other's company – by any reasonable standards a ridiculously short time for such a serious move. This recklessness is both scary and sort of exciting. It's also totally out of character – in Australia I'd have thought this was mad, shacking up(4) before the relationship has even got off the ground. What a recipe for disaster! But risks seem less alarming in a new and foreign environment where you can't measure your behaviour by familiar yardsticks such as family or friends or society in general. Besides, it's not like we have another option. Even if I had enough money (which I don't), renting my own apartment would be almost impossible. Having entered the country as a tourist, strictly speaking I'm not allowed to remain in France longer than three months. But none of this can dampen my overriding feeling that somehow all of this is right. Frédéric; being in France; taking a professional risk. »

Expression écrite
At first, I would like to say that leaving one's home-country is quite a difficult decision to take, whatever the reason. There would probably be many causes if I had to do so. Perhaps one of them would be to follow the one I love. Another one would be to escape economic woes or religious persecution in my native country or even to apply for political asylum as it is often the case for many immigrants. The boring routine of everyday life could be another reason which could account for my desire to emigrate to another country. For all these different reasons, I think I would feel a strong wish to break away from my roots and my country and I would feel like starting anew and trying to adapt to another country. I would certainly go and settle in a land where people share about the same culture and values as mine, so it would be easier to fit in there. I do not have a precise country in mind but it would certainly be a western country. Of course I would miss a few things and it would be painful and hard to give up my way of living and to abandon my familiar surrounding. France is the place where I have my roots. Furthermore, I would certainly miss my relatives and my friends and, once in a new country, I would have to adapt to new customs. At first, I would certainly have difficulties starting from scratch. I would be torn between two cultures and two different ways of thinking. Anyway, before making such a decision it is worth weighing up all the pros and cons. But I think that in spite of all the difficulties I might encounter, I would be ready to make the decision if I had to.

Plano hit hard by federal AYP school standards
Nearly a third of Plano's schools and the district as a whole missed the federal school accountability standards, according to preliminary results released by the state today.
It is the second year in a row the district has missed the so-called "adequate yearly progress," or AYP, measures in reading and math. That means Plano must develop a district improvement plan and inform parents of the district's status. Additionally, Memorial and Huffman elementary schools also missed AYP for a second year, putting them at a Stage 1 sanction status. That means the district must allow students from those schools to transfer to another campus that did meet AYP.
It is unclear at this point what that will mean for Huffman, which was at the center of a heated boundary dispute last year aimed at easing enrollment at the school.
District spokeswoman Lesley Range-Stanton declined to comment on the results other than to say that the district needed to communicate with students and families first on the topic.
Traditionally, Plano has done well on the AYP standards established by the federal No Child Left Behind law, which has a goal of getting all children proficient in math and reading by 2014. All campuses evaluated met AYP in six of the last eight years.
But last year nine campuses missed. This year that jumped to 22 of the 70 rated, including some of the district's special early childhood programs.
The standards for meeting AYP continue to climb with schools needing to reach 87 percent passing rates in reading this year and 83 percent in math, which is equivalent to meeting the state's top two academic ratings recognized or exemplary.
This year's AYP results are further complicated by a new state tests used this spring, called the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness. The state has yet to even finalize how the new STAAR tests will be scored, but federal officials required the annual AYP measures to go forward this year.
Nearly half of the state's campuses also did not meet AYP.
Here's a look at Plano by the numbers:
Year number of campuses missing AYP
2012 23
2011 9
2008 4
2005 2
All schools evaluated met AYP in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2010.

The Physics of Speech takes a reader on a slow but logically organized journey through the complexities of speech-chain acoustics and their physical attributes. The book comprises two conceptual parts, all organized into 11 chapters. The first eight chapters treat, in detail, basic concepts of sound acoustics, providing a novice in this field with the description and nature of primary audio signal characteristics, speech sounds included. This part (chapter 2) is a somewhat lengthy and tedious account of the physical principles of sound generation and sound complexities. The conceptually difficult aspects of sound wave propagation (chapter 3) and sound absorption (chapter 4) are outlined somewhat simplistically, but in an easily accessible way, thus making this material comprehensible to all. At this point, the reader is afforded a smooth and natural transition into the principles of resonancy (chapter 5) and structural complexity of speech sounds (chapter 6), making it clear why
