Computer Science
Computer Scientists design and build software systems that operate devices from the smallest components in your cell phone and iPod to the largest satellites orbiting the globe. And, as the demand for these technologies continues to increase, so too does the need for software developers whose skills drive the next innovation.
Like many highly-rated computer science programs, our programs prepare our graduates to stay ahead of the curve, thanks to a solid theoretical foundation, a pragmatic curriculum that teaches the most widely used skills and languages, and opportunities outside the classroom, such as internships and a summer undergraduate research program.
But what sets our program apart is the understanding that software development isn't about building programs for computers. It's about building systems for people. Our curriculum helps you develop the skills employers consistently mention as highly valued, yet often absent in the profession--communication skills. At North Central you will learn to write, to speak and listen, and to work effectively with others to develop not just highly sophisticated software, but highly used software.

Draft Business Plan for Red Cliffs Recreation Area Available for Public Comment
St. George, Utah—The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah St. George Field Office is seeking public comment on the Draft Business Plan for the Red Cliffs Recreation Area. The popular Red Cliffs Recreation Area, which is located inside the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area in Washington County, Utah, saw 37,000 visitors in 2012.
The draft plan proposes to increase fees for public use of the recreation area to help cover operational costs, which have risen substantially since the last time fees were raised in 1997. The fee for day use would increase from $2 per carload to $5 per carload; the overnight camping fee would increase from $8 per night to $15 per night. Even with the proposed increases, use fees for the Red Cliffs Recreation Area would remain below the fees charged by other federal and state recreation facilities with similar amenities in the region. The draft business plan also includes information on how collected fees were used in the past and how future revenues would be used to operate, maintain, and upgrade recreation area facilities. Before the draft plan can be finalized and implemented, the BLM-Utah Resource Advisory Council must review and approve proposed changes.
Additional information about the proposed changes can be reviewed in the draft plan, which is now available for public comment. An electronic copy of the plan can be found on the St. George Field Office website at: http://blm.gov/2ykd. Copies can also be reviewed at the BLM-Utah St. George Field Office, 345 E. Riverside Drive, St. George, Utah.
The public is invited to provide written comments on the Red Cliffs Recreation Area Draft Business Plan during the 30-day comment period which is open until Feb. 8, 2013. Please reference the Red Cliffs Recreation Area when submitting comments.
Written comments should be mailed to:
St. George Field Office
Red Cliffs National Conservation Area
Attn: Kyle Voyles, NCA Outdoor Recreation Planner
345 East Riverside Dr.
St. George, UT 84790
Written comments may also be submitted via email. Please include "Red Cliffs Recreation Area" in the subject line and send comments to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment – including your personal identifying information – may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. BLM will not consider anonymous comments.

The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

I recently taught an OpenBSD system administration course for schoolteachers who were interested in maintaining, configuring, and tuning an OpenBSD system in a networked environment. I decided to use a Live CD to teach that course, so that the students wouldn't need to install anything. They didn't even need a hard disk to run OpenBSD out of the box on their PCs! The Live CD I made focused on security, network management tools, the Firefox web browser, and so on.
This article describes the process I used to create a Live CD based on OpenBSD/i386 3.7-current. It should be no problem with 3.7-release either.
Before you start, you need the following:
The first step is to fetch the -current source code. See 5.3.3--Fetching the appropriate source code in the OpenBSD FAQ.
Next, create a /livecd directory in which to keep the CD's contents. Make three backup directories in /livecd:
$ mkdir -p /livecd/backups/{var,etc,dev}
Then, tar up the whole system you want on the final system, and untar it into the /livecd directory (or copy it, directories and all, as you prefer). Copy your /var and /etc directories to /livecd/backups/{var,etc}:
# cp -pR /var /livecd/backups/var
# cp -pR /etc /livecd/backups/etc
# cp -pR /dev/MAKEDEV /livecd/backups/dev
This gives the Live CD its skeleton of files and directories. The next
step is to configure the bootable kernel. In the
/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf directory, move RAMDISK_CD to
RAMDISK_CD.OLD, and copy the kernel config file GENERIC to
RAMDISK_CD. Then edit the file. Comment out the line containing
config bsd swap generic and add the following lines:
option RAMDISK_HOOKS
option MINIROOTSIZE=3800
config bsd root on cd0a
You can also download an example RAMDISK_CD config file. This sets up a ramdisk and allows the root of the system to be on the CD.
With this in place, you'll receive an error message when adding DDB support and friends. To fix it, apply this Makefile.in diff to /usr/src/distrib/i386/common/Makefile.inc:
--- src/distrib/i386/common/Makefile.inc.orig Thu Mar 3 09:16:02 2005

Next, install the
crunch package, which helps create crunched
binaries for use on boot, install, and fixit floppies. This allows you to fit
more on the CD:
# cd /usr/src/distrib/crunch && make && make install
Finally, build the CD by doing a
make in the
/usr/src/distrib/i386/ramdisk_cd directory:
# cd /usr/src/distrib/i386/ramdisk_cd && make
In the /usr/src/distrib/i386/ramdisk_cd directory, copy the two files bsd and cdrom36.fs to the /livecd directory.
Modify /livecd/etc/{fstab,rc} and /livecd/backups/etc/{fstab,rc} to make booting work right.
Next, edit the CD version of /livecd/etc/rc and
/livecd/etc/fstab to mount the appropriate
filesystems, and include
cd. Finally, edit the backup version of
/livecd/backups/etc/rc and /livecd/backups/etc/fstab to include the CD and
memory filesystems.
There are three directories (/var, /tmp, and
/etc) that need to be writable, so the CD mounts them as memory
filesystems (using
In the /livecd directory, run the following all on one command line:
# mkisofs -b cdrom36.fs -c boot.catalog -R -v -o /tmp/livecd.iso /livecd
After another wait, you'll have a burnable ISO image waiting for you as /tmp/livecd.iso.
cdrecord to burn the ISO image to CD:
# cdrecord -v speed=24 dev=/dev/rcd0c -data /tmp/livecd.iso
I've been using an OpenBSD Live CD for NAT/firewall at school for a while
now. The setup is actually quite simple. My internal and external network
interfaces are
fxp0 and
fxp1, respectively. To
active PF, and have it start automatically on boot-up, edit
/etc/rc.conf.local file and add the line
To enable IP forwarding, make sure that
net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 is in /etc/sysctl.conf.
Finally, put your NAT/firewall rules in /etc/pf.conf:
int_if = "fxp0"
ext_if = "fxp1"
tcp_services = "{ 22, 113 }"
icmp_types = "echoreq"
priv_nets = "{ 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16, 172.16.0.0/12, 10.0.0.0/8 }"
# options
set block-policy return
set loginterface $ext_if
# scrub
scrub in all
# nat/rdr
nat on $ext_if from $int_if:network to any -> ($ext_if)
rdr on $int_if proto tcp from any to any port 21 -> 127.0.0.1 \
port 8021
# filter rules
block all
pass quick on lo0 all
# provide unrestricted Internet access to internal computers
block drop in quick on $ext_if from $priv_nets to any
block drop out quick on $ext_if from any to $priv_nets
# allow the following incoming traffic to the firewall
pass in on $ext_if inet proto tcp from any to ($ext_if) \
port $tcp_services flags S/SA keep state
pass in inet proto icmp all icmp-type $icmp_types keep state
pass in on $int_if from $int_if:network to any keep state
pass out on $int_if from any to $int_if:network keep state
pass out on $ext_if proto tcp all modulate state flags S/SA
pass out on $ext_if proto { udp, icmp } all keep state
These rules NAT all traffic from the internal network to the external network and redirect all internal traffic to port 21 (FTP) to port 8021 on the gateway. They also protect against unwanted external traffic coming in, while allowing unrestricted traffic from outgoing internal traffic. It's a good starting place for secure access that you can modify as you need.
Best yet, it's on a CD, so I can have it with me wherever I go.

An eight-run third and nine-run fourth were way too much for the Lady Trojans to recover from, and the Lady Titans captured a four-inning 19-4 victory on Tuesday night.
The loss leaves the Lady Trojans at 1-8 in district play with three games left in the season.
"We came out ready to play. We took a 4-2 lead into the bottom of the third inning," said Lady Trojan head coach Jose Flores.
"After recording the first out in the bottom of the third inning, everything they hit seemed to drop in or find a hole in the infield."
Mackenzie Delagarza scored twice for the Beeville girls while Rebecca De Los Santos and Krystal Cuellar also crossed home plate. The Lady Trojans had seven hits on the night with Lynn Puente and Amanda Gonzales each getting two doubles. Cuellar, Theresa Amador (double) and Brianna Gobel also hit safely in the contest.
The Titans pounded out 18 hits in the run-rule-shortened victory and took advantage of four Beeville errors.
The Lady Trojans hosted the Port Lavaca Sandies on Friday night. On Tuesday evening, the Beeville girls will travel to Calallen to meet the Ladycats.

Employees at the nation's largest organic food cooperative are still trying to come to grips with a devastating fire that destroyed half of its headquarters.
It took crews roughly 18 hours to finally put out the fire at Organic Valley's headquarters in La Farge.
SLIDESHOW: Pictures From Organic Valley Fire
The roof on the building's west end has collapsed. Some of the siding is missing, and the metal frame is warped.
The east end is still intact.
Firefighters arrived on the scene shortly after 4:30 Tuesday.
By then, all 400 employees had already been evacuated and accounted for.
Eleven fire departments from the surrounding area responded to the call.
They worked around the clock, but solar panels on the roof, thick windows and strong winds made the job difficult.
" Well, as you can see, first of all, the building has collapsed, and once it collapses it's very difficult to get all the hot spots put out, but it took us several hours simply to get the advancement of the fire stopped," said Chief Phillip Stittleberg of the La Farge Fire Department.
The co-op is now faced with the daunting task of how to clean up, rebuild and get back to normal.
Now a day after the fire, all Christopher Dahl can think about is work.
"You sit here, you feel guilty in doing almost anything else because you care so much about what you should be doing," said Dahl.
Tuesday afternoon, he and other co-op employees watched helplessly for hours as his office and many others went up in flames.
"(I) called my boss, who was still here at work, and he said, 'It's not good, Chris,'" said Dahl.
Dahl now has to work from home, but with the internet server system down, trying to get work done with just his phone isn't easy, especially for this week.
It's payroll week for 300 co-op farmers across the U.S.
"Those deadlines are tomorrow," said Dahl. "We're probably not going to meet those."
Headquarter employees were told not to report to work Wednesday, but even so, at least a couple dozen showed up to start the cleanup process.
"It doesn't entirely feel real," said Jamie Lamonde, public affairs director for Organic Valley. "It just all happened really fast, but everybody's really being supportive of each other."
Some employees were let back in to gather any personal belongings they could find.
"The process today is really assessing the situation here at headquarters, taking a look at placement of our headquarter employees, assessing their ability to work from home and really trying to get our communication systems restored," said Lamonde.
Lamonde said while the co-op's headquarters is badly damaged, Organic Valley customers shouldn't be affected.
"Our Cashton distribution center and all of our other facilities are fully operational, so we're accepting orders, shipping all of our deliveries on time," said Lamonde.

Boxes and Boxes of supplies have arrived at State Road Elementary School in La Crosse.
"This is all donated from Fiscars," said Jamie O'Neill, Grow Your Brain garden coordinator.
The $1,500 donation from Fiscars is just one of four grants the elementary school received to start a new school garden project.
"We want to give the children experience here at school," said Dave Gluch, State Road Elementary School principal. "We want them to go through the process of helping prepare the soil, planting the seeds, nurturing the plants along, and eventually harvesting them and getting them on the trays as they eat their lunch."
This is also the goal of a new local organization called Grow Your Brain which has partnered with the elementary school.
"We really feel that focusing on schools is really, really important because that is the way to get in the hands of all children," said O'Neill.
And children are the focus of this organization as research shows eating healthy affects behavior, eating habits and a child's overall well being.
"In fact, in a lot of classrooms that they've had kids come out to a garden at least once a week, they've actually doubled their fruit and vegetable intake," said O'Neill. "Which may sound like a lot but a lot of children are not eating anywhere near what's recommend. So, it could have very, very good effects."
The principal at State Road would like to see the habits learned at school also be used at home.
"We want to be able to provide, not just our students, but our families who can come and take a look and say you know what we can build this type of garden in our own backyard, too," said Gluch.
And the garden will provide a new resource for classroom teachers, as well.
"I see us being able to kind of incorporate math skills. Just creating graphs of watching our plants grow.," said Stephanie Callen, State Road Elementary School teacher. "Or science. We have a soils curriculum we do. Just getting the kids hands on, in the dirt, feeling it. And then I think lastly, just having the ownership of watching something grow."
Which the principal hopes will encourage students to be sustainable while using and enjoying the environment around them.
"I think sometimes we're so busy in our lives, and especially as parents, we're getting our kids all over the place," said Gluch. "And sometimes we don't take the time to enjoy our environment and the nature around us. And gardening is one excellent way to do that."

"I'm a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it." — Thomas Jefferson
Jamie Moyer should have this quote written under his cap. It was made for him.
Moyer has been in baseball longer than maybe he should be. But even nearing the end of what has been an incredible, lengthy career, Moyer was able to set an impressive record on May 7, 2010. Against the Atlanta Braves – the Phillies toughest divisional opponent – the then 47-year old went the distance allowing just two hits on the evening. Neither crossed home plate and in the process Moyer became the oldest pitcher to toss a complete game shutout in the history of this fine sport.
Think about that: for all the talk that Moyer needed to hang 'em up and go on his merry way as he inched toward 50, his performance against the Braves was basically him throwing up a middle finger to those who said he couldn't, he shouldn't, he can't.
In the 7-0 victory, Moyer's line could have been mistaken for Roy Halladay's: 9 innning, 2 hits, 0 runs, 0 walks, 5 strikeouts, 105 pitches, 71 strikes. After the performance, Moyer was asked about the game ball and if it has a special meaning.
"What did I do with the ball?" Moyer said. "I think one of my kids has it. I don't know if it's in the [batting] cage and they're hitting with it, or they're going to give it to one of the dogs at home."
When talking about looking back on some of his accomplishments later in his career, Moyer said, "I feel like there's plenty of time when I retire to reflect on things. I'm sure at home we'll talk about it tonight. It'll be a topic of conversation. As far as sitting back, tomorrow I'll probably sit and not necessarily think about what happened, but kind of rehearse the game in mind, go through the game again and be able to see pitches, and thoughts will come back.
"A lot of times at night that happens for me. I usually go sleepless when I pitch — win, lose or draw. It's usually a long night for me, but it can be fun, because it's nice to reenact things and see things. Maybe a thought that went through your head comes back. Something may come to mind."
Using a dash of luck, a pinch of hard work, and heaps of dedication, Moyer put together the finest performance by an aging baseball player ever. Of course, in true Jamie Moyer fashion, he took it in stride.

I am really going to miss Jamie's realistic and humble attitude this year. He's truly one of the all time greatest for his vision and attitude and I'm still hoping he'll be able to come back and go out in a manner more deserving of such an amazing athlete. He deserves a better ending…
Ah, yes.
The elder statesman shuts out the Braves. I remember it well.
I was at the bar with my friend and his girlfriend. She kept seeing people she knew and walking away from us, which left us free to watch and discuss the game. Once we got to the eighth, every other statement out of our mouths was, "He's going to do it! He's gonna throw the complete game shut-out!"
Someone across from us heard us as we got progressively more excited and called, "Who's on the mound?" He almost fell off his chair when he heard it was Moyer.
When the game ended, everyone in the bar gave Moyer a standing ovation. It was a great night, great game.
Outstanding effort by Jamie. He's a true freak of nature and I mean that in a good way. Having pitched in my younger days and now 53 years old, I can really appreciate what it must have taken for him to pull off this feat. Just incredible!
I am going to miss Moyer, as well. the term "crafty veteran left-hander" was made for this character. He was something special and put together four solid and enjoyable years for the Phils. Great character and person.
Oh yeah, I remember this. GREAT game for Jamie, I could hardly believe it. I don't think he could either, haha. I'm really gonna miss him too.
And he was wearing powder blue! So perfect.
I want Michael Young!
The Dipsy
Dipsy, uh – not that there's anything wrong with that.
Would be nice ….but probably has ZERO chance of happening.
Dipsy, I have an idea….TRY to fall in love with Ben Fran. You'll feel better, dude.
I'm starting to feel really optimistic about Francisco or Brown in RF. One of them will probably shine and own the RF just like Werth took it from Jenkins not too long ago…
What does Michael Young have to do with Jamie Moyer's complete game shut-out of the Braves?
Holy crap, Dipsy.. now that you mention Michael Young…
Could it be, could it be…
Phillies send Blanton and his 2 yr contract to the Rangers… Phils get Young for 3yrs to play 3B, Polanco moves back to 2nd, Utley to the outfield like you've wanted all along!!
Your dream scenario = My nightmare scenario! (I'll never like the [ill-conceived] idea of Utley switching.. that would be disgraceful!)
**This post is 100% speculation and very dark humor***
The problem with Michael Young is that he'd go from being a utility infielder/DH for one contender to being a utility infielder/PH for another contender. It's not even a sideways move for him, its kind of a downgrade.
Well, I wrote that because Michael Young has demanded a trade from the Rangers. Actually, I would just want him to go to LF. He's owed 46m over 3 years. So…….How about Raul (totally serious), Mathieson and DeFratus? Hey, they're gonna have to eat Raul (pun intended) if we're gonna take back Young's money. RE: Piping up after a long silence…there's just nothing to say in the deepest darkness of February. Hey, I love Jason Grilli? How's that? Hey, I like to think that I'm somewhat like Whitey used to be: nothing to say..don't say anything. The motor is starting to rev, though. Getting psyched. I hate this signing in business. I think the fact that we had to revisit something related to Jamie Moyer AGAIN got my typing finger moving. Go Phillies!
The Dipsy
Wait a second, Dipsy. You and I and a few others HOTLY debated…if I recall correctly….the Lee trade during the "deepest darkest" of last February. I guess this offseason is kinda tame compared to last year, huh, Maybe we need more controversy to fuel the fire and get people talking.
Seeing red are we Dipsy?
Great game by Moyer. Good luck in whatever he does from here.
I was also thinking about Michael Young – tried to work out a reasonable trade, and a scenario that he would fit. Came up with the following – trade Ibanez and Rizzoti for Young and some of Young's salary (gives Texas the DH they want for a year, plus some talented youth). Utley and Rollins need more time off, as does PP. Make PP the uber-utility guy, Young at third, Ben Fran in left, Brown in right. Start PP twice a week (2nd, 3rd, SS, lf, put Ben Fran in right against a tough lefty). This brings in a rh bat with some pop, relegates Valdez back to a defensive replacement, plus gives us that Bill Hall type utility player. If Young's D isn't quite good enough, switch roles with him and PP.
It was one of those things to bounce around while waiting for route 80 to open back up (come on spring). It seems like a pretty good idea on paper, but in practice, concerns. While PP is not a great fielder, he's steady, and has better range than Young at 3rd. Kind of screws PP – most of these guys prefer routine. It's a big contract, how much will Texas eat? Young is upset about a loss in playing time – if he's not in the line-up every day, will he be a clubhouse problem? Is Brown ready to be an everyday starter? Makes and aging team old, especially in 2012. I'm sure there are a few more issues I missed, but ultimately, i think it brings more problems than solutions. I think I'd pass unless Texas eats a lot of the contract.
bfo – Polanco had a great year in the filed last year. I thought there was a chance he might win the GG. I don't think Ibanez and Rissoto would do it. After all, Young can demand a trade all he wants but that doesn't mean he's gonna go anywhere. I would do Ibanez and Singleton if push came to shove. I just thing that Young is a perfect fit and at the right time.
The Dipsy
p.s. Did Brian Fuentes sign?
The only issue I have with Polanco at third is he has to leave his feet to go left – constantly banging his elbow. Probably not an issue if he doesn't get plunked there early in the year. There is also a part of me that thinks Young is being a bit of a baby, but this is a guy who went from 2nd to ss to 3rd without complaint (and for the most part was the best player on a bad team). I can understand if he's finally had enough.
It will be interesting to see how Ryan handles all this. I don't think Young will pull a Manny Ramirez, and chances are Kinsler will go down for a while (he does every year), so they may try to hold onto him, but I think they'll move him somewhere (probably CO).
Zimmerman deserved the gg last year, but I'd put PP in the top 3.
The best fit for Young is the Rockies (playing 2B), not the Phillies.
Plus, he's 35 in 2011… 36 in 2012… 37 in 2013… No way he'd be a good fit for this team!

FAQs about Peace Corps in Kenya
|FAQs about Peace Corps
For information see Welcomebooks
- 1 How much luggage will I be allowed to bring to Kenya?
- 2 What is the electric current in Kenya?
- 3 How much money should I bring?
- 4 When can I take vacation and have people visit me?
- 5 Will my belongings be covered by insurance?
- 6 Do I need an international driver's license?
- 7 What should I bring as gifts for Kenya friends and my host family?
- 8 Where will my site assignment be when I finish training and how isolated will I be?
- 9 How can my family contact me in an emergency?
- 10 Can I call home from Kenya?
- 11 Should I bring a cellular phone with me?
- 12 Will there be e-mail and Internet access? Should I bring my computer?
How much luggage will I be allowed to bring to Kenya?
Most airlines have baggage size and weight limits and assess charges for transport of baggage that exceeds this allowance. The Peace Corps has its own size and weight limits and will not pay the cost of transport for baggage that exceeds these limits. The authorized baggage allowance is two checked pieces of luggage with combined dimensions of both pieces not to exceed 107 inches (length + width + height) and a carry-on bag with dimensions of no more than 45 inches. Checked baggage should not exceed 80 pounds total with a maximum weight allowance of 70 pounds for any one bag.
Peace Corps Volunteers are not allowed to take pets, weapons, explosives, radio transmitters (shortwave radios are permitted), automobiles, or motorcycles to their overseas assignments. Do not pack flammable materials or liquids such as lighter fluid, cleaning solvents, hair spray, or aerosol containers. This is an important safety precaution.
What is the electric current in Kenya?
The local current is 220-240 volts/50 cycles. Small electrical appliances can generally be used with transformers. Some Volunteers' houses have electricity. We suggest that you bring a converter. Electric clocks will not keep time because of different cycles. There are power surges and fluctuations as well as outages, which take a toll on equipment. In general, do not bring electrical appliances. If you are one of the few Peace Corps Volunteers to have electricity, appliances for 220 voltage are available in-country, but are very expensive. If not, a solar battery recharger may be useful.
How much money should I bring?
Volunteers are expected to live at the same level as the people in their community. They are given a settling-in allowance and a monthly living allowance, which should cover their expenses. Often Volunteers wish to bring additional money for vacation travel. Credit cards and traveler's checks are preferable to cash. Bank cards from many U.S. banks are accepted at ATMs in the major cities. They will dispense cash from a U.S. account in Kenya shillings, but addtional fees will be assessed. If you choose to bring extra money, bring the amount that suits your own travel plans and needs.
When can I take vacation and have people visit me?
Each Volunteer accrues two vacation days per month of service (excluding training). Leave may not be taken during training, the first three months of service, or the last three months of service, except in conjunction with an authorized emergency leave. Family and friends are welcome to visit you after pre-service training and the first three months of service as long as their stay does not interfere with your work. Extended stays at your site are not encouraged and may require permission from your country director. The Peace Corps is not able to provide your visitors with visa, medical, or travel assistance.
Will my belongings be covered by insurance?
The Peace Corps does not provide insurance coverage for personal effects; Volunteers are ultimately responsible for the safekeeping of their personal belongings. However, you can purchase personal property insurance before you leave by contacting your own insurance company. Volunteers should not ship or take valuable items overseas. Jewelry, watches, radios, cameras, and expensive appliances are subject to loss, theft, and breakage, and in many places, satisfactory maintenance and repair services are not available.
Do I need an international driver's license?
Volunteers in Kenya do not need to get an international driver's license, and are prohibited from driving for safety and security reasons at their sites, and discouraged from driving while on authorized leave. Most urban travel is by bus or taxi. Rural travel ranges from buses and minibuses to trucks and lots of walking. For transportation needs with your overseas visitors, rental companies provide drivers at reasonable rates.
What should I bring as gifts for Kenya friends and my host family?
While this is not a requirement, a token of friendship is sufficient. Some gift suggestions include knickknacks for the house; pictures, books, or calendars of American scenes; souvenirs from your area; hard candies that will not melt or spoil; or photos to give away.
Where will my site assignment be when I finish training and how isolated will I be?
Peace Corps trainees are not assigned to individual sites until after they have completed their pre-service training. This gives the Peace Corps staff the opportunity to assess each trainee's technical and language skills prior to assigning sites, in addition to finalizing site selections with their ministry counterparts. If feasible, you may have the opportunity to provide input on your site preferences, including geographical location, distance from other Volunteers, or living conditions. However, keep in mind that many factors influence the site selection process and that the Peace Corps cannot guarantee placement where you might ideally like to be. Most Volunteers will live in small towns or in rural villages, but will usually be within one hour from the nearest Volunteer. A very small proportion of Volunteers live in urban areas, but not in the capital, Nairobi.
How can my family contact me in an emergency?
The Peace Corps' Office of Special Services provides assistance in handling emergencies affecting trainees and Volunteers or their families. Before leaving the United States, you should instruct your family to notify the Office of Special Services immediately if an emergency arises, such as a serious illness or death of a family member. During normal business hours, the number for the Office of Special Services is 800.424.8580, extension 1470. After normal business hours and on weekends and holidays, the Special Services duty officer can be reached at 202.638.2574. For nonemergency questions, your family can get information from your country desk staff at the Peace Corps by calling 800.424.8580.
Can I call home from Kenya?
Yes. Most large cities and provincial capitals have a domestic long-distance telephone system; regional centers and some large cities provide overseas telephone services or international calling via the Internet. In some locations, the service is fast and efficient; in other areas, it may take several hours to get calls through. Personal overseas calls cannot be made from any Peace Corps office. Volunteers must use locally available public phones for all personal calls.
Peace Corps coming by Sept 2009, can carry their laptops as they will be able to access broadband internet from purchase of mobile wireless gadgets (Flash disks). They can be found at any local Safaricom outlet shop, cost around 20$, and monthly postpaid charges of about 15$.
Should I bring a cellular phone with me?
No. The cellphone technology in Kenya is different. Kenya has low frequency while the United States has high frequency. It is easy and relatively cheap to buy a cellular phone in Kenya. The cost ranges from $50 to $150. Kenya has four service providers, Safaricom, Telcom, Orange and Zain. While 95% of Kenyans own cellphone.
Will there be e-mail and Internet access? Should I bring my computer?
There are now cybercafes in major towns that provide Internet access. In most towns, Internet is also available at the post office. However, Volunteers can access e-mail in the Nairobi office resource center on a time-available basis.
Some Volunteers choose to bring a laptop computer, and many have found it useful in their work. However, access to reliable electricity cannot be guaranteed and, as with any valuable, there is the threat of theft, loss or damage.

Set in the 1950s in the heart of the beautiful English countryside, Mark Williams stars as Father Brown, the Catholic priest who also happens to have a particular talent for solving crimes, in this adaptation of GK Chesterton's novels. Father Brown's world is quintessentially English: drawing rooms in large country houses, miles of countryside, village halls and secret gardens, as well as country fairs, railway stations and rural parish churches. Many years spent hearing his parishioners' confessions have given him an uncanny insight into the origins of evil and the workings of the criminal mind. Each episode sees the enigmatic priest investigate a crime in his own particular way. Full of humour and compassion, but with a big dramatic twist each time, this series remains true to the period charm of the original character and setting while bringing a contemporary edge to the storytelling.
I enjoyed the first show and am looking forward to watching it every Thursday. It's all we've come to expect from British shows and British mysteries in particular. Great acting, great characters, wonderful cinematography, etc.!
I like Jayne enjoyed the first show. Is this going to be a regular series? I notice that it doesn't show up on the tv schedule. Keep them coming.

|20th October 2014 05:16 PM
No problem mate ,really enjoyed the weekend and happy to help out anytime I can.
I have been round drag racing for a number of years and still amazes me the JUN R1 just turned up and ran the numbers straight off the trailer. This car obviously has lots of power but the way it puts it down is just staggering. My quickest ever 60tf in a full on tube chassis drag car was 1.228 and the car ran had 7.87 so it puts in perspective just how this street driven full weight GTR is.
I have no doubt my car will be in good hands this winter at JM Imports and if can manage to run 9 sec 1/4 I will be over the moon
|20th October 2014 03:00 PM
|Awesome car and awesome times. Well done.
|20th October 2014 11:23 AM
UKs quickest 8.3 and worlds quickest 35R turbo R35 GTR
JUN R1 - now officially quickest R35 GTR in UK 8.3
Well am a little late in bringing the news but last week we took the JUN R1 to the Santa pod Jap show finale oct 11 to try improve on our previous 8.6 time.
The aim of the weekend was to try and get that clean run/pass , we knew the car was capable of serious times from day 1.
Normally i like to drive my car there and back to events (like last year) but on this occassion, we had customers SPEC V R35 that had just been built to 1000bhp and Ryan had to fit a syvecs and map the car for me -
So i met my team there on the saturday morning around 11am - car was already fueled up and slicks on ready to run.
We proceed to warm the car up and do the drivers sign on and wait in line till it was my turn to go down the strip.
1st run Saturday - weather has not the best and a lot of headwing against us.
Car was on the line BOTL ready - boom the car feels savage as it takes off, i can feel the car fighting the grip all the way up the strip - the run felt very fast very fast, then as am making my way back to the pits - i can hear my phone ringing in my pocket but am strapped in with harness so ignore the phone and continue to the pits to await the news .
I see ryan with a big smile and thumbs up - is that the record on my first pass ?? then jeff ludgate comes over and says wow 8.4.
I then see aarin running with my time slip jumping around 8.4@163 New UK record and a record UK 60ft of 1.28 - wow am speechless but me and ryan knew the car had more left.
So ryan looks at the logs said all is good and the car can go faster so he sets me on my way again .
So off i go again before the rain comes down, am waiting on line can see the rain coming, this line needs to move quick..
Lets hope we make it just before the heavens open and am feeling confident.
2nd run -
I do my same procedure again but this time am more focused on keeping the foot fully down (those that drag race know what i mean)..
LC on and off we go - man this feels faster it has to be faster i said to myself going up the strip.. there is no phone call this time ??
Maybe it was not as good but then i see most of the team running back 8.3 8.3 shouting thumbs up from randoms aswell - wow gobsmacked i am and we maintained a better 60ft this time 1.28.
So thats the UK record done and the Uk 60ft record -backed up ( can we do the EU record 8.295 ?) well the heavens opened and we called it a day..
We then find out the car is the quickest GTR in the world on the 35R series turbos - wow my car is basically beating and keeping up with some of the big turbo cars in the world.
All this at full weight, infact 1842kg with me in the car - which is the most impressive thing and been very reliable - slipping clutches a few years back and a fuel pump failed at TOTB14.
Today was a good day..
With little bit hangover from night before and bit tired..
we arrive around 9.45am and it looks mega mega busy day - i sign on and start the car up - we let it warm up and wait around 1 hour to get a run ..
My fuel is getting low and was not sure i had enough but i was at the front and the line was getting bigger so had to proceed - vs team khan GTR
So off i go feeling confident for run 1 - LC activated but as soon as it lifts of the line - FUEL surge cut activated ;( damm - big lesson learned this car is sucking this 25l E85 drum quick very quick - back to the pits.
So i rush back to the pits get the fuel out and fill up only had 1 drum left and i hurried to get another run before lunch time..
we just make it i think the last car or so to run before lunch -
run 2
Car hooks well and goes well 8.38@166 - 1.3 60ft impressive
we have lunch and wait till after lunch i only have 2 more runs left to do..
Run 3
On the line and ready to go - i was not in the zone and did not fully activate the LC so car bogged and i aborted the run to save fuel for one last pass, time was running out and waiting lines were getting bigger
We waited and waited this time i did not keep car running - (wanted to make sure we had fuel) -
Run 4
Racing a lovely old skool - Skydat ...
Am in the zone and focused not going to spoil this run - both line up and put a great race for the show - car runs and impresive 8.4@166 with 1.42 60ft..
Thats the day done car ran well - mission accomplished a full weight street car with slicks doing these times is incredible..
I kept looking at my last slip 8.4@166 and 1.4 60ft -- man thats a possible 8.2 or 8.1. ;-)..
Special thanks
Want to thank a lot of people but cant thank them all personally -
JM team for helping me build this car and keeping it very reliable.
Ryan @ syvecs whos looked after the mapping of this car and gradually let the power out - MASSIVE THANKS mate.
JUN - for supplying this fantastic engine now touching near 10k miles
ETS - my turbo kit supplier from overseas.
PPG - for the gbox parts and support.
LITCHFIELD - For assembling my ppg gbox - its been superb from day 1.
All the other traders aswell along the journey .
There is many many more to thank including this forum and its members, other traders and also along with all the JM customers we have GTR and none GTR based - it could not be achieved with out you and your support.
Also want to thank MRw for being technically part of the pit crew all weekend (we appreciated the help martyn)..
Some stats we have picked up from over the weekend -
@2.6 bar = 1500bhp Approx
Proven Data (Based on recent 2014 Data)
0-60mph - 1.69 seconds

IBM pushes state to keep layoffs confidentialJuly 16,2013Staff Report
MONTPELIER - IBM wants to keep confidential the number of employees recently laid off at its Essex Junction facility.
IBM Monday complied with a state law requiring the company to provide the state with the names and other details of employees who were laid off last month.
However, according to the Department of Labor, "IBM asserts that all of the information provided, including the total number of affected employees, is highly sensitive and confidential commercial information."
IBM goes on to state that making public the information will cause competitive harm and damage individual employees.
The company cites Vermont's Public Record Act that exempts trade secret and competitive business information.
"While the department agrees that any information that could be used to identify individuals is exempt from disclosure, the department is not convinced that the total number of affected employees, as reflected in the notice, must be withheld from the public under Vermont law," the department said in a press release.
The department noted that it had received media requests for the total number of layoffs at the Vermont facility.
The state advised IBM to provide "any legal justification or other information to support its claimed confidentiality" and to file that information by noon on Thursday.
IBM was once the state's largest private employer with another round of layoffs, IBM has fallen to second place behind Fletcher Allen Health Care with 5,500 fulltime employees.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

National Parks and other protected areas represent a critical bastion in protecting nature as climate change impacts the function of ecosystems and the health of species. Parks also present a unique opportunity for scientists to study these unique processes how climate change will impact some of our most precious landscapes is a complex and urgent scientific problem as well as one for conservation professionals.
So, on April 27 and 28, 2011, in a tremendous show of collaboration, the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability and the National Park Service (NPS) brought dozens of professionals together for an in-depth workshop to address the impact of climate change on our regional Parks. Rarely do academic researchers, Park scientists, conservationists and land managers get an opportunity to cross their institutional boundaries. But in demonstration of the need to collaborate, the workshop at UCLA had 80 people come together from universities throughout the state, local and state agencies, non-profit organizations and the National Park Service.
The workshop was organized by the Mediterranean Coast Network of the NPS Inventory & Monitoring Program, the UCLA La Kretz Center for California Conservation Science and the UCLA Center for Climate Change Solutions. By combining efforts, tremendous progress was made over two days on the two core purposes of the workshop: to identify priority research projects that will improve our ability to understand, predict and manage ecological responses to climate change in southern California coastal parks, and to identify specific monitoring needs that will assist in documenting ecological responses to climate change.
Response to the workshop was tremendous, with surveys indicating high levels of satisfaction by participants. The first day of the workshop was dedicated to a thorough discussion of the science of climate change and its impacts on parks, leading to rich discussions about how to advance the research enterprise.
With talks from UCLA experts (and Institute of the Environment and Sustainability affiliates) including Alex Hall and Curtis Deutsch of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Rich Ambrose of Environmental Health Sciences, Victoria Sork of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and Terri Hogue of Civil and Environmental Engineering, UCLA demonstrated its unparalleled capacity and expertise in climate change and ecosystem science. By bringing in other international experts that included Kelly Redmond of the Desert Research Institute, Steve Beissinger of UC Berkeley and Dan Cayan of Scripps/USGS, the UCLA-NPS partnership also demonstrated its power as a convener of important discussions on critical interdisciplinary topics.
NPS scientists and managers brought their deep bench of expertise and invaluable expertise as professionals on the front lines of climate change impacts to researchers as well. With in-depth discussions and break-out sessions on specific topics of interest to marine systems, vegetation, fire and hydrology, wildlife, and climate science, NPS employees and researchers were able to identify critical research needs as well as critical monitoring and data needs for advancing conservation.
Results from the workshop will capitalize on the phenomenal momentum that was generated. Participants and organizers alike are committed to incorporating the breakout groups' recommendations into research plans and to create a standing committee to sustain this effort. By identifying funding and staffing resources, describing valuable research projects, and incorporating new monitoring strategies in the I&M program, this workshop will continue to live through the active collaboration of this broad and important group from NPS and UCLA.

The School Library Profiles developed by the Library Research Service are meant to be used as a comparative tool for school libraries in Colorado. The results represent data received from school libraries that completed the 2011 Colorado School Library Survey. Profiles for each participating school compare individual school data with averages for schools with similar grade level and enrollment ranges. Please note that since all data were derived from responses to the survey, schools that did not respond to the survey are not represented in the Profiles.
Use the school locator (below) to find the school for which you would like to see the 2011-2012 School Library Profile. Remember, schools that did not respond to the 2011 Colorado School Library Survey will not be represented in the Profiles.
Please Note: Starting with the 2008-09 profiles, we are using medians instead of averages for the comparison groups. Medians represent the school in the middle of each statistic - i.e., there are equal numbers of schools above and below the median. For this reason, we felt this was more representative of the "typical" school than average, which can be more strongly influenced by outliers.

The Wheelie Good Round-Up 14 May
Pedal powered sports car
Below is a picture of the world's most expensive bicycle. It is worth a cool £1.2m. Yes we know it looks like a sports car with four wheels but there is a bicycle in there and the whole thing moves by pedal power. The bike is hidden under the red carbon shell of the car, which is modelled on the Ferrari FXX supercar. Designed by Austrian artist and cycle enthusiast Hannes Langeder, the Fahrradi Farfall FFX, as it has been called, has a top speed of 16km/h. Mr Langedar has previous form with such bike/car contraptions having also made a pedal powered Porsche GT3 RS. The Fahrradi Farfall FFX also features 200 LEDs so it can be ridden at night and is totally road legal in Austria.
Danny MacAskill's Number 1 fan
As kids we all have heroes, someone who you really want to be when you grow up. The video below features Jack, a budding five year old trial bike rider. His hero is trials and stunt cyclist Danny MacAskill. Danny inspires him to cycle so much that he wanted to make a video for Danny to show him what he can do on his bike. Jack, you are a true inspiration for all us bike mad kids.
Obree's Saucepan bike
Graeme Obree quite rightly is held in high esteem by the cycling sport community for having twice broken the one hour record for cycling back in the 90s. He is known for his eccentricity, however, having built the bike for the one hour record attempts himself. Now, 46, Graeme revealed this week that he is attempting another record, this time the land speed record for bikes. The current record stands at 82.8mph. Typically, Graeme's bike for this record attempt is made from an old saucepan and was designed in a bath. The attempt will take place in September.
Suits you sir!
While on our collective commutes to the GGB office in London, we see very few people cycling in suits. This is no surprise given the likely pitfalls of a commute or turning up to work a sweaty mess. A Japanese apparel company may have the solution to some of these problems. AOKI Inc's "Les Mues" line of business suits for bicycle commuters features water resistant and stain repellent finishing with stretchy material for comfort. The trousers have patches inside to strengthen areas subjected to frequent rubbing, such as the inner thigh and hip, while the jacket hem can be snapped to the suit's pockets with snaps to allow for more comfortable riding. The suit includes reflective tape under the collar for riding in darkness.
Simplicity in functionality and design
We all know Danes live for their bikes. No more so than Danish design company Copenhagen Parts. Set up in 2009 by bike enthusiasts (who also happen to be designers), they've been busy developing products that can improve the bicycling experience. Their design ethos focuses on urban mobility, functionality and style. This ethos is encapsulated in the remarkably simple Magnetic Bike Light, which will launch later this year. The lights turn on as soon you put the Magnetic Bike Light into contact with a steel-frame bike. Remove the light unit off the bike and the light turns off automatically. The lights, which are LEDs, are battery-powered. The simplicity of the concept means that the lights do not need a holder and can be positioned anywhere on the frame.
The Wheelie Good Round-Up is brought to you by our friends at Going Going Bike, the online marketplace forused and vintage bicycles. Check out their blog for similar stories from the world of cycling.

Mia Kornelis to present "Plaza Suite" at Dordt College
November 8, 2012
Dordt College senior Mia Kornelis of Sioux Center, Iowa, will present her senior theater production, Plaza Suite. The show will be performed November 15, 16, and 17, at 7:30 p.m. in the New World Theatre on the campus of Dordt College.
Plaza Suite is a three-act comedy by Neil Simon. The setting is 1967 in a suite within New York City's Plaza Hotel. The light-hearted show looks at the complexity of married life and its relationship dynamics.
"I am really enjoying directing and coordinating with set design, sound design, actors, the graphic designer, everyone," said Kornelis who is majoring in music. "It's exciting to have a hand in all the decisions and to guide the whole process, and I am thrilled about the final product."
Tickets to this witty, slapstick comedy can be purchased at the door.

|Angel ST
|Suzuki Bandit 1250S
|TEST WINNER Sport-touring
|Angel ST: A totally well-balanced tyre that can do a lot really good. The high constant level in all test criterias brings him finally to the top. With the Angel ST the riding pleasure remains also after high mileage.
|Angel ST
|Suzuki Bandit 1250S
|TEST WINNER Sport-touring
|Pirelli: Overall a very equilibrated tire. Very high level of precision even after 4500 km. Receives the best placing by a constantly high level in all testing categories.
0° Steel belt is the technical element that ensures the versatility needed by soul product:
- Angel: the patented 0° steel belt beneath the tread translates immediately into easily appreciated handling, even to those who do not ride bikes professionally. The tyre is more stable and handles in a uniform manner, even in high speed riding conditions, yet when fully loaded it is more balanced in a corner, more stable under braking.
- Demon: with the support of the compounds, the 0° steel belt ensures maximum braking stability and maximizes the contact patch at all lean angles and speeds in terms of area, shape and pressure, helping the tread to reach an unbeatable grip and stability level.
EPT stands for Enhanced Patch Technology. It is the latest patented design technology developed by Pirelli derived from the experience in the World Superbike championship, which founds in the optimization of the contact patch the key of the performance, and focuses the entire tyre set design on this improvement.
To maximize the contact patch EPT technology brings forth an innovative concept for the tread, a new profile design, supported by the patented zero degree steel belt radial structure, and new materials.
This make ANGEL ST guarantee a level of excellence never seen before for a road product. The entire tyre set components work in coordination to keep perfectly in touch the bike and the ground.
The revolutionary tread design of the set is the ultimate state of the art of tread development which brings both excellent dry performance and high level control on wet roads. Grooves are concentrated exactly where needed, putting more rubber on the ground.
The FRONT is characterized by side-to-side grooves to maximize drainage, and short grooves inserted to reduce the mobility of the tread which maximizes stability.
The REAR design is characterized by:
- Central rib in order to ensure traction and grip but also high wear resistance.
- Longitudinal grooves that allow a reduction of the number of pitches.
This results in a reduction of the land-sea ratio without compromising drainage, at the same time an improvement of stability coming from a more compact tread.
Sport Tourers look for mileage, so for this reason we have introduced a new solution for the incline of the wall in the tread groove. The incline of the tread groove wall is also designed to ensure the same water flow throughout the tyre's life, even when the wear process is near completion.
The Angel gives you safety on wet, stability and mileage. The Demon is always present, ensuring you the rubber that you need, when you want.
The new front and rear profiles are the results of the new end count (distribution) solution of 0° steel belt, thinner than in the past, arriving at improved handling performance while reducing weight of the belt system.
The front is designed to give the best balance of linear behavior in corners and outstanding ease of handling. The rear profile is aimed to support the bike even at very high lean angles, shaping correctly the contact area in the best geometry from straight, to middle lean, to extreme lean.
The Guardian Angel offers you maximum safety during a long journey as well as in the daily urban route, no matter the weather and the road conditions.
The Guardian Angel offers you maximum safety during a long journey as well as in the daily urban route, no matter the weather and the road conditions:
- New high Silica compound using a specifically developed curing system for wear control allows ANGEL ST to reach the best compromise between stability, mileage and safety feeling.
- Maximum safety feeling on wet , keeping the groove opened for optimal drainage, is granted together.
The Demon comes out while leaning, during rapid acceleration and while pushing the brake to the limit:
- New generation of reinforcement (carbon black) and High Dispersion Silica together with specific resins (low thermo plasticity, high performance) ANGEL ST is able to reach low contact rigidity.
- High adaptability of the compound to the ground (micro contact) in order to maximize the contact patch and offer grip at every lean angle.
New chemically enhanced carcass materials specifically designed to ensure high dampening properties for variability of road surfaces.
ETERNAL DURABILITY and ECONOMICAL VALUE
New production system resulting in controlled resistance compounds ensuring regular wear even under heavy stress.
RELIABILITY and SAFETY
High Silica compound for maximum safety feeling in all weather conditions: a hand on the shoulder of the rider and his passenger.
The most balanced street usage compound to maximize contact at any an angle on public roads.
Quick handling response from application of "zero degree" steel belt: riding confidence at high speed.
New generation of profile tailored for high performance Sport-Touring bikes to ensure neutral behavior during cornering.

I was lucky enough to Meet PBW and Lootpack in Liverpool UK when they did their first tour for SoundPieces. Before the show they were interviewed on local radio (crash FM) I knew the radio host Robin Jackson so got to sit in on the interview because I provided some background on PBW for Robin. Madlid, Romes, PBW and Wildchild were so cool and friendly. After the show we all walked towards my friends car we had some records we were selling out the back of the car. I gave Madlib 2 Lp's one which he went on to sample on the Madlib Invazion 7". Anyone know the LP?
So glad that I played a very small part in some of the amazing music this man has produced.
Hello to all my fellow Stones Throw lovers old and new.
