Manhasset District Response to Reclaim New York Press Release
Brandon Muir, the Executive Director of Reclaim New York recently issued a press release regarding the ongoing litigation between Reclaim New York and the Manhasset School District, and specifically about the recent agreement reached between Reclaim New York and Manhasset to satisfy a request for certain financial records pursuant to the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL). Mr. Muir's press release does not correctly state the facts and ignores the District's longstanding dedication to fiscal transparency. It is troubling that Mr. Muir's organization, which claims that its purpose is to provide citizens with the facts about its government, would so blatantly misrepresent facts in its own statements to the public.
The Manhasset School District opposed Reclaim NY's FOIL request from the very beginning. This was not an effort on the District's part to withhold information from the District's residents, but because the original request was so needlessly excessive in its scope that the District would have had to make an unreasonable effort to collect, review and redact the vast quantity of information and data requested. Furthermore, complying with the request without first reviewing and redacting the records would have meant the disclosure of personal information about many of the District's students, parents and employees. This would have amounted to an invasion of the privacy of those individuals that the District was unwilling to allow. Fortunately, as Reclaim NY is well aware, FOIL does not permit disclosure of records that would violate student confidentiality or constitute an invasion of privacy of private citizens. Other government agencies may have been content to allow Reclaim NY to invade the privacy if its citizens; we are not. The reasons for the District's unwillingness to comply with the FOIL request were made known to Reclaim NY from the outset.
Recently, Reclaim NY acknowledged that its request was unreasonable based upon the fact that, following negotiations between the attorneys for Reclaim NY and the District, Reclaim NY significantly reduced the volume and narrowed the scope of its request in a way which addressed all of the District's objections. Among other things, Reclaim agreed to reduce the more than 15 data fields it had originally sought down to 4 data fields and removed those fields that would have required tremendous effort to ensure accurate and complete redaction. The modification of the document request was so dramatic that it all but constituted an admission from Reclaim NY that its original request was completely improper. In negotiating this settlement, the District acknowledged no wrongdoing, and waived none of its rights or defenses in the pending litigation. Obviously, since Reclaim NY was always aware of the District's objections, these negotiations could have been done prior to the filing of the current lawsuit, but Reclaim NY chose to take the matter to court, needlessly imposing costs on both parties. Incredibly, Reclaim NY now seeks to be compensated by the District's taxpayers for the costs it has incurred in the law suit.
Mr. Muir has stated in his press release that, "Manhasset residents shouldn't have to pay thousands of dollars, file appeals, and wait months, to see public documents that their government is legally required to maintain." We quite agree. That is why, following the significant modification of Reclaim NY's request, the District has happily disclosed the requested documents, and why the District now calls on Reclaim NY to acknowledge its error in making its initial document request, and drop its frivolous claim to legal fees for this ill-advised litigation.

The Manhasset High School offers a variety of clubs and activities for our students.
At the June 2nd Manhasset Board of Education meeting, the board awarded the home to school, field trips, athletic trips and summer transportation 2016-2017 contracts to Huntington Coach. The new contract will result in an incremental cost of 10% because of the required relocation of the Huntington Coach buses from the Town of North Hempstead's Bar Beach properties and the resulting increased costs associated with Huntington Coach's acquisition of a replacement property.
Huntington Coach has been the district's primary transporter since the 2005-2006 school year, when the district's voters made the decision to move from an in-district operation to Huntington Coach. During the 45 minute presentation and ensuing discussion, district administration and the board acknowledged the exemplary service that Huntington Coach has provided over the past eleven years. In particular, the district noted Huntington Coach's emphasis on safety, their state-of-the-art award winning green fleet, and video cameras on all their vehicles. Efficient and safe service has been provided within tightly controlled costs, as evidenced by the average annual increase of 1.74% over the same period. The district's projected 2015-2016 transportation costs remain below those budgeted in 2005-2006, without even factoring in the costs that would have been incurred for the district to purchase a state of the art fleet and video cameras.

Michael Joseph Henry, the alleged "straw man" who purchased the gun used to kill Plymouth Township Police Officer Bradley Fox, will be arraigned Dec. 5 in Montgomery County Court. Henry waived his right to a preliminary hearing in a Conshohocken district courtroom Tuesday and is being held on $1 million bail.
According to an affidavit by Montgomery County Detective James Carbo, Henry told investigators that he sold nine guns to Andrew Thomas, a convicted felon who was not allowed to possess firearms. On Sept. 13, Thomas was being pursued by police after driving on the wrong side of a road and hitting another vehicle. Fox was searching for Thomas in high grass near the Schuylkill Trail when Thomas fired multiple shots, according to the affidavit.

Caritas Veritas Symposium
The Caritas Veritas Symposium is a treasured annual tradition at Dominican University. For one day during the fall semester, the entire university comes together to explore the meaning of our mission and motto through formal papers, panel presentations and interactive workshops.
During the day, the regular class schedule is suspended so that students, faculty and staff can give presentations or attend other presentations.
Caritas et Veritas: Foundation of a Good Life?
Tuesday, September 27, 2016
With the 2016 Caritas Veritas Symposium, Dominican University continues its celebration of the 800th anniversary of the founding of the Order of Preachers. We bring all members of the university community together to consider values—namely love and truth--foundational to Dominican life and mission and ask, what are their roles in the creation or discovery of "The Good Life"? From professional, personal, religious, civic and scholarly points of view, what do we imagine the good life to be? How does one live a good life?
Informed by the Dominican University motto and mission, we invite the entire community—faculty, staff, students, trustees and alumnae/i—to contemplate these questions:
- What does it mean to be good, to lead a good life?
- How do you find your good life?
- What does it mean for a student, professional, scholar, or educator to be good?
- How have the love and truth of others shaped your life?
- How does one reconcile self-interest with a sense of broader responsibility?

Football may not start until September, but there's nothing like releasing the 2012 NFL schedule right before the draft to get fans pumped.
Let's be honest: Thursday night games were introduced because we all had come to the realization that we couldn't wait an entire week to watch football again.
This year's slate has a slew of fantastic matchups, whether they boast historic rivalries or up-and-coming teams with new pieces.
Thursday Night Football begins in Week 2 this season, and the opening TNF matchup should create plenty of fireworks.

Brända tomten (The House that Burned, 1907) is one of August Strindberg's post-Inferno plays, written after a religious and psychological crisis in the mid-1890s which is depicted in his autobiographical novel Inferno (1897). After this Inferno crisis, Strindberg's dramas became highly metaphysical and symbolic, and his dramaturgical innovations changed the course of modern drama. The House that Burned is Opus 2 of a suite of plays known as the Chamber Plays. Other plays in this group include Storm Weather (1907), The Ghost Sonata (1907), The Pelican (1907) and The Black Glove (1909). The term "Chamber Play" was inspired by the name of Max Reinhardt's (1873-1943) theater, Kammerspiele, in Berlin. Word of Reinhardt's …

Methane emissions from the oil and gas industry are significantly higher than previous official estimates, according to draft revisions of the U.S. greenhouse gas emissions inventory released Monday by the Environmental Protection Agency. At 9.3 million metric tons, revised estimates of 2013 emissions are 27% percent higher than the previous tally. Over a 20-year timeframe, those emissions have the same climate impact as over 200 coal-fired power plants. The lost gas is worth $1.4 billion at 2015 prices.
The big jump makes it crystal clear that there can be no more excuses for ignoring this huge challenge – not only controlling methane emissions from future sources, as proposed new EPA rules will do, but also controlling emissions from the tens of thousands of leaking facilities already operating now. Existing systems account for all of today's emissions, and will generate the lion's share of pollution for many years to come, yet federal rules so far don't apply to them. Read More

Anna Bradley: Head for Heights
This brilliant new track from New York's Anna Bradley comes off the third edition of Mama Coco's Funky Kitchen compilation of artists, a free download over at BandCamp.
The harmonies on this track really float all over the place channeling the best of the psychedelia of groups like the Treepeople and Pavement, some great medicine after a day of trying to shake off viewing everything though heart-shaped goggles.
Check out more from Mama Coco's below. They are apparently a DIY experimental recording studio in Brooklyn, NY, which the local musical community rallies around. Enjoy.

Two strains of acidic pH-neutralizing bacteria, E25(T) and E21, were isolated from torpedo grass (Panicum repens) that grows in highly acidic swamps (pH 2 - 4) in actual acid sulfate soil areas of Thailand. The strains were Gram-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, and rod-shaped bacteria, having a cellular width of 0.6 - 0.8 microm and a length of 1.6 - 2.1 microm. These strains showed good growth between pH 4.0 and 8.0 and between 17 and 37 degrees C. The organisms contained ubiquinone Q-8 as the predominant isoprenoid quinone and C(16 : 0), C(17 : 0) cyclo, and C(18 : 1 )omega7c as their major fatty acids. Their fatty acid profiles were similar to those reported for other Burkholderia species. The DNA G+C content of these strains was 65 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, these strains were shown to belong to the genus Burkholderia. Although the calculated 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of E25(T) to E21, B. unamae, B. tropica, B. sacchari, B. nodosa, and B. mimosarum were 100 %, 98.7 %, 98.6 %, 97.6 %, 97.4%, and 97.3 %, respectively, E25(T) and E21 formed a group that was distinct in the phylogenetic tree; and the DNA-DNA relatedness values of E25(T) to E21, B. unamae, B. tropica, B. sacchari, B. nodosa, and B. mimosarum were 90 %, 42 %, 42 %, 42 %, 45 %, and 35 %, respectively. The results of physiological and biochemical tests including whole-cell protein pattern analysis allowed phenotypic differentiation of these strains from the previously published Burkholderia species. Therefore, strains E25(T) and E21 represent a new species, for which the name Burkholderia bannensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is E25(T) (= NBRC 103871(T) = BCC 36998(T)).

Beaumont/Port Arthur
U.S. Attorney John M. Bales announced April 2 the indictment of 24 individuals who operated a major drug distribution ring and were responsible for trafficking methamphetamine to customers across the United States, including in the Eastern District of Texas.
Phone scams have been spreading and infecting areas all over the country, according to reports from the FBI, the BBB and the IRS, and the Southeast Texas community has not escaped the effects. Prior reports from The Examiner have warned of the scams reported in Jefferson and Jasper Counties. Now, Orange County reports they too have numerous reports from victims of phone scams in which the callers represent themselves as a part of the county's law enforcement agency, the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
Investigators with the Orange Police Department are searching for a suspect who reportedly robbed a Dollar General store located in the 3000 block of 16th Street in Orange on April 2.
The Beaumont Police Department reports that detectives are investigating a domestic disturbance that occurred at a house in the 3300 block of Waverly in Beaumont's south end on April 3.
According to a news release from BPD, at about 9 p.m. that evening, a 37-year-old female was involved in a disturbance with her 37-year-old estranged husband. The argument reportedly escalated, and the man used an unknown type of cutting instrument to slash the female, causing a laceration to her upper body.
Criminal District Attorney Bob Wortham announced April 3 that Trovoy Keith Jones of Beaumont was found guilty of the first-degree felony offense of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon in Judge John Stevens' Court. A jury took fifty minutes to deliberate before returning a guilty verdict following a four-day trial.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

The Torah School of Greater Washington has been established to educate, motivate, challenge, and inspire Jewish children of all backgrounds without regard to race, color, country of origin, or sex.
Our students are provided with a curriculum of excellence in both Judaic and secular studies which equips them with all the tools necessary to successfully continue their higher education.
This includes a strong emphasis on the basics and on higher thinking and comprehension skills.
Our youngsters develop pride as Jews and Americans and a strong love for Eretz Yisrael.
The ambiance which permeates the Torah School is that of warmth and caring.
Our outstanding staff members serve as role models whose main interest is what is best for each child.
They understand that, as Hiam Ginott wrote, "Concerning a teacher's influence: I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom.
It's my personal approach that creates the climate.
It's my daily mood that makes the weather.
As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous.
I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration.
I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal.
In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, and a child humanized or dehumanized.".

Palm Springs to consider hosting pentathlon
2013 event combines fencing, swimming, horse jumping, more
The Palm Springs City Council will discuss tonight hosting a 2013 competition for the Olympic sport of modern pentathlon.
The council will discuss hosting the ``Desert World Cup'' competition for the sport -- which is fencing, swimming, equestrian jumping, shooting and running -- at Palm Springs' swim center, pavilion and stadium Feb.15-26, 2013, according to the agenda.
Rancho Mirage hosted World Cup pentathlon competition in February 2011.
The event drew 30 teams from around the world, totaling 150 athletes.
The council meeting agenda also includes extending the suspension of a two-hour parking time limit on parts of downtown streets and city parking lots and structures through June 2013.
The meeting will be aired live on Palm Springs Community Television Channel 17, Time-Warner Cable Channel 121 and online at www.palmsprings-ca.gov.

The United States can no longer boast owning any of the five largest airlines in the world. That distinction now falls to Asia and Latin America. Air China, for instance, is twice the size of America's Delta Air Lines and Germany's Lufthansa. Analysts say it's just another example of the industry's shift toward countries whose economies are growing faster than the West.
"The world is changing in aviation, and it's changing very, very quickly," International Air Transport Association Chief Executive Giovanni Bisignani told a news conference in Geneva. "Rapidly developing markets are shifting the industry's center of gravity to the East." Brian Pearce, chief economist at the IATA, says that heavy debt and new taxes have hurt travel spending in Europe and North America.
"2011 is going to be a much more challenging period," he said.
Meanwhile, Bisignani predicts that if America's "archaic ownership rules" were changed, the industry might soon see the first takeover of a U.S. carrier by an Asian airline.

Excellent physician.
Excellent medical practitioner
doctor Wunder is a cool doctor who knows what he's doing is very smart and bottom line he's a great guy...the only fault I see is that he's a Duke fan and he's under the illusion that Duke Is a better basketball program than UCLA ...but in all seriousness doctor wUnder is a very intelligent man and he's a good doctor
This doctor has been the best doctor I've ever been to and I've seen many doctors due to some of my ailments. He takes the time to research your situation, thinks outside of the box, and takes pride in making his patients healthy.
Dr. Wunder is not caring or professional. He does not listen. To busy talking and checking out his female patient's. Accuracy of dignosing a problem depends on his ego that day... You will always be rushed at Dr. Wunder's office because he does not care about any of the patient's. As a cash patient I paid at the office, and was billed at my home too. His staff is unprofessional.
The Dr.Does not act in a professional manner. Do not listen to patient.
he is a kind doctor but I had alot of problems with this visit. front office staff closes the sliding door so you are unsure if they are on lunch or there to help you. I waited 2 HOURS to see the doctor. be aware you are only alotted a 30 day supply for any medication meaning that you must come back monthly and pay a full doctors appt fee just to RENEW a prescription.
I only have praise for Dr. Wunder. He has been my doctor for 14 years. Very kind and compassionate Doctor.

"It just popped in my head," said second grader Savannah Jackson.
These kids may be young, but they sure know a thing or two about being creative.
"Well, it's a jacket that has a backpack attached to the side," said second grader Chase Winner.
The Invent Idaho Competition brings the most creative kids in the state to the University of Idaho to show off their bright ideas, like Chase Winner's time-saving "Backpacket."
"You're really late for school, and you need to hurry," said Winner. "You can just put on the jacket, and you don't have to put it on, find your backpack, and then put that on."
Most of the younger kids came up with simple inventions that could improve their everyday life.
"If you have your coat and glove on, you can just put it over and you don't have to worry about getting snow in your coat and glove," said second grader Ava Hatrock.
But other inventions were a bit more complex.
"I invented the Kid D Kar, it's a magnetic levitating car, specifically designed for children," said seventh grader Maleah Harshman.
"B-G is for blood glucose, and it's basically a smart watch," said fourth grader Carson Magee.
Carson Magee invented a blood sugar testing watch because he had difficulty testing himself at recess.
"I have type one diabetes, so I invented like, something that you don't have to lug all this around," said Magee. "So like, you would poke your finger right there, and I put a solar panel on it."
There were even a few board games thrown into the mix.
"I invented Marblinko," said sixth grader Davey Breakey. "And it bounces, and it made it, but it didn't go in the right color."
Dozens of excited competitors received awards at the end of the day. But even if they didn't place, the students were equally enthusiastic about showing off their inventions.
The winning students from Saturday's competition will soon have their inventions displayed at the capitol in Boise.

It doesn't get much more romantic then to be surrounded by roses in bloom on your wedding day.
I think that's why I am so in love with the designs from Tea Rose, a designer from Sydney. Her work is so romantic and flowing and feminine. I love the idea of a bride experimenting with pattern and colour. Why not?
Catriona Rowntree chose a Tea Rose dress with soft pink rose designs for her wedding day.
Very swoon-worthy!

Find out how much of this scent to use
with our
Fragrance Calculator
English Rose:This rose smells like an English rose garden. Not as deep as other roses, this is a true, light rose that will add a nice round rose smell to your soap. One of our customers loves this rose so much she wrote, "This is the best rose I have ever smelled and it is the only one that does not turn in my CP. I have had problems with every single other rose I have ever used but I give yours an A++++." A bonus - it does not discolor! This fragrance oil accelerates trace in cold process.
Check out some amazing blends using this fragrance and Vanilla Select!

I am not a huge fan of the florals but even I could enjoy using this scent in my CP soap. It is very light and delicate and resembles a freshly picked dewy rose. It did accelerate trace quite a bit, but I wasn't doing anything fancy with this one--just added some rose clay for color so I didn't have any trouble. Unmolded it today and it smells lovely.
I used this to make a variation of the charcoal and rose clay bars on the site (since I didn't want to spring for the EO). It smells nice. Very rose-like. A bit grandma, but that is what roses remind one of for the most part.
Used in hot process soap. Be careful how much you use, this scent is very overpowering, I only used 1 oz and my house smelled like a funeral parlor for several days after, lol. I wold love some ideas of other fragrance oils I can dilute it with, so I can finish using the 8 oz bottle. It does smell like roses, but just a little to cloyingly sickly sweet (my family is mad at me).
I love Brambleberry , and I have so far never been disappointed. This scent smelled wonderfully in the container. I was SO excited to try it in my final cold process soap product. However, the scent is very acrid and has no resemblance to rose at all in the finished cold process soap product. I now have a batch of beautiful but terrible smelling soap to try to pawn off to friends and family as I can't sell this off.
I love using this fragrance. It is such a beautiful smell. I had No trouble soaping it. Please buy this one and try for yourself. I will buy again

Congress Warns MPs of Action for No-trust Move
By Express News Service - HYDERABAD
Published: 12th December 2013 09:03 AM
Last Updated: 12th December 2013 09:03 AM
Even as political heat is building up both in Delhi and in Hyderabad on the T-issue, AICC state affairs incharge Digvijaya Singh swung into action and issued a stern warning to the six Seemandhra MPs of his party either to withdraw the no-confidence notice against the UPA government or face the music.
The AICC point man indicated that they were considering disciplinary action against the six MPs, who had given the notice.
Speaking to mediapersons in Delhi on Wednesday, Singh disclosed that the party leadership was holding confabulations with the six Seemandhra MPs to persuade them withdraw the notice.
"If the six MPs don't withdraw it, the party will proceed as per the parliamentary guidelines and initiate action against them," he said.
Asked if the party high command will seek disqualification of these MPs, Digvijaya said, "Action means all such measures as per Parliamentary rules."
The six MPs are: Lagadapati Rajagopal, GV Harsha Kumar, Vundavalli Arun Kumar, A Sai Pratap, Rayapati Sambasiva Rao and Sabbam Hari.

The Economic Offences Wing of the CBI in Chennai has said that the investigation into the case relating to the alleged abuse of official position and 'extortion' by IPS officer Promod Kumar was in the final stage and that it had ample evidence to prove the charges.
Responding to the news item, 'IPS officer cries foul over CBI's manner of probe', which was based on Promod Kumar's letter to the National Human Right Commission (NHRC) and was published in this newspaper on October 29, the CBI said: "Investigations against Sri Promod Kumar does not require consent from the State Government, as the case was registered on the order of Hon'ble High Court of Madras." The CBI also claimed that it had seized "incriminating documents" from the officer's house in Chennai on March 12.

Sales Enablement
3 Tips for Sales Effectiveness
The last decade has seen the inexorable rise of the smart buyer. Simply put, the job of the B2B sales rep is more challenging. Sales reps are drowning is data. Buyers are expecting sales reps to have done their "homework" before they ever make the first introductory phone call. If you don't believe me, just consider your own reaction to the last generic sales pitch you heard from a sales rep.
The challenge for you, the sales leader, is this:How do you capitalize on the power of data to help your sales teams sell more effectively?
Here are three tips to boost your sales effectiveness:
1) Ask Profiling Questions
Unfortunately most reps do not know how to ask good questions. As a result, the quality of account profiles at most companies is limited to what can be purchased from a generic data vendor such as number of employees, number of sites, etc. Most of this information is not helpful to a front-line sales rep because it does not predict the likelihood and timing of a potential purchase. But what if your reps focused on asking questions that can predict behavior? What is the length of the contract? What are your company's outsourced functions? Are there any planned location openings? Armed with fully-profiled accounts, the sales reps are trained to ask the right questions about needs, budgets and buying cycles. Sales managers can then track their reps based on the percentage of fully-profiled accounts within each rep's portfolio. Even a partial completion rate of these profiles provides adequate information for sales and marketing to align campaigns and messages with the specific situation of the customer. By asking relevant questions the reps are able to stand head and shoulders above the competition.
2) Say the Right Words
Are you finding that even your most inspirational and compelling reps are having a harder time 'gaining access' to even schedule a first call or meeting? Increasing the number of tangible sales discussions is the top lever for growing your sales dollars, and it all starts with that first difficult interaction. Some B2B companies are gaining access to more decision makers by ensuring a rapid one-two punch with a targeted email and timely rep follow-up. However, process changes alone are not sufficient to increase engagement rates. Targeted opening lines are 1.5 times more effective at getting access to the right people. One seller of data-center software is using analytical methods to distill account intelligence into a customized, crisp and punchy 30-seconds-worth of bullet points to secure the prize: a scheduled call or meeting. These opening lines are provided to the reps and their effectiveness measured through A/B testing. Effective lines are retained while ineffective lines are retired.
3. Play and Learn
Is your rep activity aligned to segmentation strategies that you develop so diligently through market research and idea-generation exercise? Do you know if that idea – "sell to all hospitals with less than 200 beds" – will actually work out as expected? In the parlance of smart selling teams, these segmented strategies are called "plays". One global distributor of electronic equipment has aligned all its selling activity around these plays which are managed as a portfolio across all the customers. Plays provide a framework for targeting, contextual content generation and offer-creation while aligning Sales and Marketing teams. Plays are measured against predicted performance, and poorly performing plays are removed. At the same time, new plays are added frequently in-line with introduction of new-products, new-acquisitions or just plain changes in strategy against specific segments.

ECS NF650iSLIT-A Motherboard - Much more affordable than 680i
Package and Contents
First off like normal, we take a look at the extras you're supplied in the packaging. If you're spending a fortune on a board, you are going to want something for your dollar apart from a board but if you're spending very little, expect the basics.
The ECS 650i SLI board is aimed at the mid-range user who doesn't want to spend a lot on their systems but still get the performance they strive for, so the board is priced accordingly and the package reflects this. The box itself from the front is rather plain, with just the model number and the brand logo.
The back of the box has a great deal of information on the board's features as well as a full color photo of the board, so there are no surprises on what you get.
ECS has a good amount of documentation included with the board. You get one user manual that gives full information on the board's features, setup processes and BIOS settings. The other two manuals that are included are simple pamphlets for quick install of the board as well as BIOS setup. The software CD included gives drivers for XP, XP64 and Windows Vista. It's now a requirement to include Vista drivers with the boards in order to be considered a universal board for all the Windows operating systems.
Lastly we come down to the extras such as the cables. ECS only provides a couple of SATA data cables out of a total of four SATA ports, a single IDE parallel cable, a single PCB SLI bridge and an I/O shield. In all, very little is included, if you want to use all four SATA ports, you will need to purchases extra SATA data cables. If your PSU doesn't have any SATA HDD power plugs, you're going to need to buy all four separately, a bit of a disappointment as cables aren't really that expensive but clearly ECS are trying to keep the cost of the product as low as possible.

CHERRY HILL An undercover operation at a Cherry Hill hotel led police to three prostitutes who authorities said were forced by a Trenton man using violence and threats to keep working.
Brian A. Moore, 44, has been charged with human trafficking and promotion of prostitution, police announced Thursday.
The investigation began this month as authorities scoured classified ads online and discovered salacious services offered locally, said Cherry Hill Detective Sgt. Rick Humes.
"There's some pretty explicit ads there," Humes said of one site that advertises adult services. Prostitution, he said, "is pretty widespread throughout New Jersey and other states. We monitor the ads for local addresses."

I am confused about total internal reflection. I don't understandwhy it's not always possible. I was looking at the case of lighttraveling from air (where n = 1.00) into water (where n =1.33).
Can you please give both a mathematical reason (i.e. based onSnell's Law) and a physical reason (i.e. based on the whip-aroundeffect) why you can never have total internal reflection occur inthis case.
