|September 2012 RV Care-A-Vanners Update
Alice, Texas sign-up
Good luck and remember there are many affiliates that need our help besides Alice!
Featured News
Dear Care-A-Vanners,
Dave and I just returned from doing a build in our own backyard of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It had been a few years since we did a scheduled build, as we had been working the winter months doing an ongoing build, or "flying under the radar," as Mary Campbell calls it.
We both had some apprehension about the build. After all it would take two weeks out of our six weeks of summer we get here in the Upper Peninsula and it was a rehab! That apprehension soon melted away as we greeted our team one by one. What a fun and talented group. We stayed at a lovely resort on a large inland lake. Ted and Sally were the owners and they treated us like family, including a steep discount for the RV sites.
Our project was to finish a rehab on a house build around 1920. The house had good "bones" but as usual nothing was square, level or plumb. We did electrical, plumbing, painting, repairs, poured cement and spruced up an old garage. We also laid a lot of ceramic tile in the affiliate's volunteer center.
This was the affiliate's first experience with the RV Care-A-Vanners and we left an impression. They treated us very well and were very grateful for our help. They are already planning next summer's builds.
What did we learn from this build? Hey, rehab isn't all that bad. We would have loved to live in that house. We were reminded of what a wonderful group the RV Care-A-Vanners are and there are some terrific affiliates out there who can really benefit from the RV Care-A-Vanner program. And finally, we have eight new friends!
Thanks for a great build.
Mary Vandeveld
RV Care-A-Vanner Coordinator
Team leader corner
First, a big thank you to our awesome August team leaders. They are Dave and Mary Vandeveld, George Wallner and Rosanne Schoemehl, Frank and Diana Peccia, George and Karen Hopper, Mark Cotter, Jim and Betty Spencer, Kelly Sosland and Carole Westphal and Dan and Carolyn Banks, who are the ongoing leaders of our disaster response in Morehead, Kentucky.
Remember, when it comes to being a team leader, communication and organizational skills are more important than construction skills. Please don't let your lack of construction experience keep you from volunteering to be a team leader. Builds listed with the Care-A-Vanners must have a full-time construction supervisor for the build. If construction skills were a requirement, I would certainly never be a team leader!
That's it from the team leader corner. I hope you enjoy this glorious fall weather, wherever September may find you.

Please make corrections to the roster by emailing the updated information to email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at 229-410-7534.
From the registration desk
Our time here in the Berkshires in Western Massachusetts is winding down - before you know it, we'll be pointing our motorhome's wheels south before those snowflakes arrive.
A major favor to ask of our awesome Care-A-Vanners - if you have an existing account and are having trouble logging in to register for a build, please call or email us before setting up a new account. We can manually register you until we can get the log-in snafu straightened out. This has cropped up several times in the past couple of months. Having a duplicate account creates some havoc within the Care-A-Vanner database - your new account will not reflect any of your prior builds. If I can spot a duplicate account quick enough, I can ask the IT department in Americus to fix it but sometimes it slips by me and some type of transaction will occur with that new account and then it's too late to get them merged. Please call or email using the information below and we'll get it done, or if it's a build that is quickly filling up and you want to ensure a spot, call Mary Vandeveld at 920-737-0507. Thanks!
Until next time,
Lu Tillotson
Disaster Response
We have two active areas that need house leaders as well as builders right now. Can you read a blueprint, problem solve construction issues and lead a team of volunteers? Then you can be a house leader! To serve as a team member, no experience is required.
I have some tentative dates for the disaster response class. It will be held in Americus, GA, March 18 through March 22, 2013. Pencil those dates into your schedule. There will be no charge for the class and we will arrange camping at no charge. There will be more on the class in future newsletters.
Upcoming Builds
New affiliate builds RV sites:
A big welcome to the Macon, GA affiliate, which has put in six RV sites at their office/Habitat ReStore location to host RV Care-A-Vanners. We are dedicating the sites on Nov. 1, 2012, so if you are in the area, come by for the dedication. You can contact Mary Vandeveld at email@example.com for more information on the dedication. We have four builds listed with Macon this fall and will soon list more builds for after the first of the year. So let's show our appreciation and fill the Macon builds.
Special request from Hardee County, Florida
The Hardee County Florida Habitat Affiliate has a unique need-- we would like to engage a retired couple who are seeking housing to provide construction and administrative support to our affiliate.
Our offices and base of operations are in a large historic home in Bowling Green, Florida, but could easily be the retirement home for a couple. If you are interested, please contact Kathleen Roehm, volunteer coordinator.

Welcome new Care-A-Vanners
Vicki Cali-Smith, Robert Danbeck, Dick Erfle, Laura Gaisior, Dan and Merlene Goan, Bill Gott, Michael Jager, Effie Neth, Harvey Russell and Marge White, Wes and Candy Walhood, Jeffrey and Kim Zink.
My apologies if I have included a seasoned Care-A-Vanner or if this is a duplication. Habitat for Humanity is grateful for the work that you do!
Safety Corner
One of the areas that needs some consistency among all of us Care-A-Vanners is the question of what to do if you see a safety problem. If it's something that you as a team member can help correct or suggest a change to a coworker who is at risk then certainly go ahead and do it.
If you see something that is affecting a group of people or a person is asked to do something that you see as inherently unsafe and making a suggestion to the person at risk is not the solution, then express your concern to your team leaders for that build. It's their responsibility to manage the overall relationship with the affiliate and safety for the Care-A-Vanners on the job site.
Team leaders will look at the problem or unsafe condition and decide what action to take or not take. Normally if something is not able to be solved by a simple change in how something is done, then the team leaders may need to contact the construction manager on the site to resolve the unsafe situation. This usually solves the problem. If the team leaders are not able to resolve the problem with the site construction manager, then the team leaders have the option of calling the Care-A-Vanner desk to discuss the problem. Each step elevates the problem up the line of authority until there is resolution.
In summary the communication is:

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Multiplayer Hands-on Preview -- Ghost Together or Die AloneBy Kevin Kelly - Posted Apr 12, 2012
Tucked outside in a an unassuming office complex in Raleigh, North Carolina, Red Storm Entertainment has been quietly creating one of the strongest squad-based multiplayer entries to hit the shooter field. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier puts a very strong emphasis on team gameplay, and you're going to need it to survive in the field when you go online. We've taken a look at the game's co-op and guerilla modes recently, but this visit was all about the multiplayer.
When you go multiplayer in TCGRFS (can we all agree to call it GRFS? Okay, good), you'll need to choose one of three different roles: Rifleman, Engineer, or Scout. Your choice will depend on how you like to play, but feel free to experiment, as there is a lot of variety (and cool equipment) spread across all three classes. You can change in the middle of a game if you decide you need to switch things up, and you'll find that often it depends on both the game mode and the objectives to make the best call as to which class you'll grab onto.
The Rifleman uses assault rifles and LMGs, and is generally the guy who likes to storm the front lines, or to pin enemies down with suppressing fire. The Engineer uses shotguns and personal defense rifles, and has access to equipment like the UAV drone that gives you a look at the battlefield. Finally, the Scout is the sniper who also uses submachine guns, and he can also use the optical camouflage. He's also the only class that can tell when someone is scoped in on him, which can be handy to have if a sniper is picking your team off.
- VIDEO PREVIEW: Ghost Recon Network Lead Designer Interview
Of course, the game's iconic GunSmith mode is available to each of these classes, and you can customize them endlessly with over 52 different attachments for the weapons. You'll also be able to customize the look of your soldier to a high degree, although many of the customizations (different goggles, different fabrics, etc.) are unlockables, so you'll need to level up to acquire them.
Luckily, there's also a 2D GunSmith incorporated into the game, so you won't need to wait until you have downtime between matches to adjust your weapons. You can customize on the fly and keep gunning. With more than three million combinations, you'll be experimenting a lot.
The multiplayer offers four different game modes: Conflict, Decoy, Saboteur, and Siege. You'll notice that your standard team deathmatch where you run after each other, screaming like Han Solo chasing a Stormtrooper down a hallway in the Death Star, is missing. Rest assured you can kill the other team to your heart's content, it's just that you won't win the match unless you follow the objectives and work as a team.
- Conflict: This is as close as you'll get to team deathmatch, as the score is the only thing that matters here. But objectives will appear on the map, and the team that gets to them first and holds them down will reap the most benefit, and surge ahead in points. It's possible here for a team that's very behind to suddenly find themselves in the lead. You might have to hold an intel spot for a certain amount of time, and if you're successful, you'll see your enemies on the map for a period of time. Conflict is peppered with moments just like that, so look for objectives to try and change the tide of battle.
- Decoy: Teams will attack or defend alternately in this mode, but with a twist. Three objectives will appear on the map for the attacking team, but only one of them will be real. If you take a faux objective, intel will tell you it's the wrong one. Once you find the actual objective, you'll have a series of other objectives that you have to take to win the round. If you're the defending team, your goal is to keep the other team from taking objectives.
- Saboteur: This is your fairly standard bomb-planting mode, with both teams trying to take a neutral bomb and get it to the enemy's target and destroy it. One nifty addition is that you can use the bomb as a melee weapon (it looks like a briefcase), and there are three or four different animations when you whack someone with it. It's a nice touch, as you actually see the soldier carrying the case, and it's not just in their inventory somewhere.
- Siege: This classic Ghost Recon mode returns in GRFS with a bit of tweaking. This is the hardcore mode, where you have to either take your objective or take out the enemy team. There are no respawns here, although the intel system is active, meaning you can use UAVs, sensor grenades, and more to your advantage. While most of the game modes need you to work together as a team to perform well, Siege is the one mode where you can go completely lone wolf if you want. Flank the entire enemy team, get behind them, and drop them. It worked for us. Then again, if I'd worked together with my team, maybe they wouldn't have hated me so much the next round.
There are several nice additions to the multiplayer that you'll find yourself using often. One is a GPS system that is pretty similar to what Isaac Clarke used in Dead Space. Hit the RB to pull up a list of objectives, and the system will draw a line on the ground showing you the quickest route to that location. Just keep in mind that it might not be the safest route.
There's also a nifty hacking system built into the game. Let's say you stun an enemy, but don't kill him. If you're a scout, you can start "hacking" his intel system. If you pull it off, you'll have full disclosure on enemy locations for a long time.
But if your hacking victim recovers from the stun quickly enough, they can push a button to suicide and stop the hack. Or in the case of one of our matches, while I was getting hacked, an enemy teammate saw me prone on the ground and shot me in the head. It ended the hack, and really pissed off one of his teammates.
While Red Storm Entertainment is the same group that was behind Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter multiplayer modes, they've also turned to Grey Group Training who act as advisers on the game to insure authenticity. They are a group of ex-military types who provide high quality military training to active duty members of the US military, as well as to entertainment groups. Basically, they make the game more real; everything from the way the bullets sound, to the fact that when you're prone your soldier will roll left or right instead of crawl, has had their hand it.
With 10 different maps, four different modes, three different classes, and millions of weapon possibilities, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is shaping up to provide an unparalleled squad-based experience to gamers. With the inclusion of weapons that are coming "Tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow" according to Red Storm, you will want to make strong use of your equipment in your "intel loop" to keep your fellow soldiers informed and working together. We certainly hope that the masses on the internet will give teamplay a try before screaming "D-BAG!" at everyone and going solo.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will be out on May 22 for Xbox 360 and PS3, and on June 12 for PC.

A new study published in The Lancet, a British medical journal, puts Australia and New Zealand at the top of the list for the global consumption of weed. That's not an easy title to win either as there's some really good competition out there. The data also showed that pot is the world's favorite substance of choice. Yet, despite its popularity and widespread use, it also caused the least amount of harm, since you can't OD on weed, no matter how many pounds you smoke.

What in the world is the "S"? I'm assuming you're trying to do an integral sign?
So you want to find the integral of (x^3 + 5*x - 8)/(9*x^5)dx
Do you agree we can expand the above to:
1/(9*x^2) + 5/(9*x^4) - 8/(9*x^5)
Take the integral of each of the terms.
-1/(9*x) + [-5/(27*x^3)] + [2/(9*x^4)] + C, where C is some constant.

Nina F. Geiger is a staff nurse at a hospital in the Northeast. Contact author: email@example.com. The author has disclosed no potential conflicts of interest, financial or otherwise.
A positive experience is not synonymous with quality of care.
High patient satisfaction ratings have become an urgent but uncertain goal for hospitals in response to Medicare plans, starting this October, to tie a small percentage of reimbursement to "value-based purchasing" bonuses. These bonuses will be determined by comparing hospitals both on their adherence to clinical performance guidelines (70% of weighted score) and on patients' perception of the quality of care (30%)—based on postdischarge survey questions on such aspects of care as pain control, cleanliness of rooms, and whether clinicians treated patients with respect.
This mandate in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) stipulates that Medicare withhold 1% of normal reimbursements for the incentives bonus fund. While subjective patient satisfaction scores matter, the 30% weight they carry, and the penalties that low-scoring hospitals could incur, is disproportionately high. Lowering the 30% to 10%, and modifying the survey to adjust for risk, length of stay, and population, would be more reasonable.
Patient satisfaction scores are determined using the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey, which was intended to allow objective comparisons between hospitals, create incentives to improve care, and enhance accountability and increase transparency in the quality of health care provided with public money.
However, certain trends have surfaced as HCAHPS data are analyzed, causing some hospitals to criticize the weight given to HCAHPS results. Research suggests that high acuity hospitals tend to have lower patient satisfaction scores, patients in some U.S. regions may be less likely to complain, and certain hospitals with superior scores in clinical measures and outcomes suffer from bad patient reviews.
Using data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Hospital Compare Web site, USA Today analyzed death rates for nearly 5,000 U.S. hospitals and discovered that "120 of those most highly rated by patients have higher than average death rates."
Most hospitalized patients suffer from pain, some have a surgical wound inflicted to heal an underlying problem, others must spend time waiting for tests or treatments. Are we placing too much emphasis on having happy patients?
Patients' perceptions of their care do have value, and their complaints can be drivers for systemic change. As Nancy Rutledge put it in a 2008 article in Nursing Management, "Perception is indeed the new reality in health care." A hospital is neither a hotel nor a theme park, yet an industry has sprung up to provide contrivances designed to influence patients' answers on the HCAHPS survey. It's no longer enough to turn out the lights and close the door so patients can have an environment conducive to a good night's sleep. Now nurses must add the phrase, "I am closing the door and turning out the lights to keep the hospital quiet at night," so patients have a mental cue implanted when they encounter a related HCAHPS question.
So, to the love and respect that season my tasks of kindness and the superior clinical excellence to which I strive, I must now add the artifice of a token script in a calculated attempt to influence my patients' perception of my care.
Patient surveys already in use by independent accrediting agencies such as the Joint Commission can and do improve patient care. But tethering 1% of government reimbursement to subjective satisfaction scores devolves the focus from improving patient care to manipulating patient perception. While mandating and measuring compassion doesn't necessarily poison it, doing so misses the heart of nursing. Compassion, empathy, and beneficence are basic virtues from which my nursing care emanates, and I control their exercise. But on any given shift there are innumerable circumstances that I have no control over—yet I and my institution will be held accountable for the patient's satisfaction regardless.

New page

The following are Frequently Asked Questions about Peace Corps
 You are welcome to add a question!

 == What is this "Wiki ==

 "Peace Corps Wiki" invites all users to edit any page or to create new pages within the PeaceCorpsWiki website. It seeks to involve the visitor in an ongoing process of creation and collaboration that constantly changes the Web site landscape. These articles can be edited infinitely to create content that many users agree on. Edits can be compared side by side to determine their contribution to the article.

 == "Wiki" vs. "Blog" ==

 "Blog" or a "Web-Log" is a resource that is updated with new entries periodically. Check Peace Corps Journals for more info. Pasted blog entries are not acceptable on the wiki, rather the wiki is about "articles" categorized under particular areas of interest, these are meant to be condensed ponoint sources of information and links to other resources…so please if you have a long story please post it on your blog.

 == What's the point of having a Wiki for the Peace Corps? ==

 A wiki is a tool to develop documents and stories based on the
 knowledge collected by thousands of volunteers. If each volunteer and
 staff wrote one article about their experience we would have several
 HUNDRED THOUSAND ARTICLES.

 == How is from PeaceCorpsWiki.org different from Peace Wiki? ==

 Peace Wiki is run by the US Peace Corps, who control all the information as well as monitor it.
 The wiki is only available to currently serving volunteers. [Peace Wiki]...contains
 medical information and site information for country national staff"

 PeaceCorpsWiki is run by a nonprofit organization established by recently
 returned volunteers interested in promoting the third goal of Peace
 Corps. It is free to use and open for anyone to edit and add content too.

 == What's the structure of the Wiki, where do a put my article? ==

 The wiki is structured around two major category groups:
 # Countries of service
 # Years of service.
 That being said, some
 articles are quite general and can't be grouped under a country or a year. These articles
 usually pertain the the programming of the Peace Corps, as an organization, or general activities that the volunteers do across many countries or years - such as taking a bucket bath.

 Don't worry about where the article will go, it's more important that you
 take the bold step and attempt to post!

 == Who can use this wiki ? ==

 It is free to anyone

This is the second of these shirts that I buy. The cut and materials are comparable to that of a high designer, yet feels more comfortable and allows you to maneuver rather easily. The brown shirt has the logo embroiled in a yellow color rather than that hideous orange. Highly recommend it! Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes Comment | Was this review helpful?

Although much of the narrative is focused on him, Santiago Nasar remains a mystery throughout much of the novel. We are told that he was a child of a marriage of convenience and that he is open hearted. His appreciation of valor, prudence, firearms, and falconry, comes from his father, who is no longer alive. We also know that Santiago, had he lived longer, probably would have seduced Divina Flor, just as his father seduced her mother, Victoria Guzman. The narrator gives us somewhat random, fragmentary information with which to piece Santiago together.
The narrative never explains any ambitions Santiago may have had, what motivated him to do things, or whether or not he actually loved his fiancée. The narrator's sister, Margot, tells us that he is handsome and rich, but we are never shown more that these facile, superficial traits. The reader learns that Santiago Nasar frequently dreams about trees, or birds in trees, and that he wakes up with a headache, but we don't know what he dreamed about when he was awake. The narrator seems so focused on collecting others' views of the day of the murder that the narrative neglects to give the reader a comprehensive picture of the victim of the crime.
The narrator strongly implies that Santiago was innocent of the crime, and it does seem clear by Santiago's confused words right before his death that he had no idea what he was being killed for. That he was never seen with Angela Vicario also points to his innocence. But on the other hand, the reader knows that he would have had sex with Divina Flor if given the opportunity, so it is not entirely clear that he would not have been inclined to do so with Angela Vicario if given an opportunity.
Angela Vicario is in many ways the main character of the story. She is the most quoted character in the novel, and has the strongest narrative voice. In addition, she is center of the mystery that the narrator is trying to unravel, since she is the only one who knows whether or not Santiago was truly the one who took her virginity, and she remains enigmatic at the end of the story because she never reveals whether or not he was guilty.
Angela Vicario is a distant cousin of the narrator. As a young girl, she was the most beautiful of her four sisters. However, the narrator says she had a "helpless air and a poverty of spirit that augured an uncertain future for her." She used to sit in the window of her house, making cloth flowers, and the narrator thought she looked more and more destitute every year. He says that her "penury of spirit had been aggravated by the years," so much so that when people discovered that Bayardo San Roman wanted to marry her, they thought it was an outsider's plan.
Angela says she did not wish to marry him because he seemed like too much of a man for her. She thought he was stuck up, and that he was a Polack. She also felt that he did not court her, but merely ingratiated himself with her family, and that also irritated her. However, her parents would hear none of her objections; her mother told her that love could be learned.
Her mother appears to have been right, though not in the sense that either she or Angela expected—Angela fell in love with Bayardo San Roman after he returned her to her house. When the narrator went to visit her years later, she answered all his questions "with very good judgment and a sense of humor." He says that "she was so mature and witty that it was difficult to believe that she was the same person." When he asks he once again if Santiago Nasar was the guilty party who had taken her virginity, she replied, "Don't beat it to death, cousin. He was the one."
Her inexplicable obsession with Bayardo San Roman takes the form of a ritual: she begins writing letters to him, and it becomes a weekly habit of hers for seventeen years. The fact that he ultimately returns to her is no stranger than the act of writing a letter a week to someone who does not respond. Because he does come back to her, Angela Vicario triumphs in a sense-she has found the resolution she desired in her life. However, the conclusion of her love affair with Bayardo does not shed any light on the murder of Santiago Nasar-in terms of him, she would never say anything save to name him as the one who took her virginity. Though she seems like an honest person, it is difficult to tell whether she would have been willing to reveal the name of the man who truly took her virginity, especially if she still had feelings for him.

Wheels of Fire, a short story by StevenHunley. Date added: 2011-05-07. Times viewed: 2163.

- Intro: A man suffers break-up pains
Wheels of Fire
Steven Hunley
"Bitter and sarcastic? I can do bitter and sarcastic. It's easy if you're me."
His slid over the tuck and roll upholstery of his 57 Chevy to get behind the wheel. He remembered how she felt next to him, how she'd lay her hand on his thigh and he'd have to say,
"Hey! I'm driving here!" as if he was irritated as hell. And loving the hell out of how her hand felt against his tightening jeans.
That was last week.
He pulled out the ashtray, and it still had the roach in it, stacked on the pile of grey ashes. It was last week's roach too. And the caps of two Stella Artois.
They used to indulge each other. Wildest Desires, that sort of thing. Who's Next?, that sort of thing. A Teenage Wasteland kind of torrid affair for adults, that sort of thing.
He reached up on the sun visor to put on his shades. The reflection was so bright he could hardly stand it. They'd polished the hood with their bare bottoms the night before that. They did it quite a job. Detailing they called it. You shoulda seen dem details. Mmm-Mmm.
He remembered her saying, all soft in his ear, "I want this to last forever."
That was last week too.
Then it turned to this week.
She told him,
"It's not working out. I just wanna be friends."
Real cruel-like. Over the phone-like.
It was over, ended, nada, zip. It was his turn to sing the "Friend Status" blues.
She didn't care. The one who does it never does. Never cares a frig. Oops, I mean fig.
Now the ashtray is emptied. Now the warm body next to the driver disappears into Shakespeare's "Thin air."
The car couldn't be more empty. Only his heart could.
No more hand on the thigh. Not a hint of her perfume left in the air. No more taste of her coconut lip gloss on his lips. No more size four and one half lace panties carelessly tossed on the floor with reckless abandon. No more polishing the hood.
Teen age love. Only trouble is he's 45. Bad serious news to him. Like chained-lightning disguised as a plush toy.
Words that cut like a knife, pierce like the sword of El Cid, sounding friendly, but out of the mouth of a traitor, the words,
"But we can be friends forever. Forever."
Mata Hari never said it better.
She don't know the meaning of forever. Hurt is forever.
Yet she wants to be, "just friends."
What a pal.
A guy needs more pals like her. Pals like her don't grow on trees.
He couldn't figure it out. It had started out White Room and ended up Deserted Cities of the Heart.
My thanks to Jack and Ginger and Eric for the desperation, and of course, to Her. Hopes, when they're dashed, create quite a clatter and awaken the dreamer from his dream. It was good while it lasted. The best dream I ever had. Where the Wheels of Fire take us next I can hardly imagine.

Ouch! That's starting to hurt!
Why do I say that? Well, after returning from the Epcot Food and Wine Festival's Party for the Senses for the sixth year running, I still feel that it's a wonderful experience -- but the price is creeping up toward the point of diminishing returns.
This year, this annual tasting of random samples of cuisines prepared by chefs from all over, paired with wines and other beverage, jumped in price from $125 to $135 per person. (That's an increase of $40 over the price the first year I attended this event in 2002.) And while you still get the chance of sampling wares from chefs from near (Liberty Tree Tavern, Spoodles, Boma, Tony's Town Square) and far (Washington, DC, Texas, Washington state, Rhode Island), the cost/benefit ratio is perhaps slightly lower than it used to be.
The basics of this event don't change from year to year, but if you've never gone to a Party for the Senses, here's what you need to know to prepare: As part of the event, you get preferred seating for the 5:45 p.m. "Eat to the Beat" Concert staged at the America Gardens Theatre. (This year, British singer Al "Year of the Cat" Stewart opened the series.)
When you arrive at the theatre, check in with the Cast Member there and receive a wristband that will get you into the Party for the Senses later. After the concert, walk over to the World ShowPlace (located in World Showcase between the United Kingdom and Canada pavilions), where you can pick up your program, souvenir glass and notched plate for the evening. At 6:30 p.m., the doors to the venue will open and you can join the crowds rushing in to find a table. If you choose not to attend the Eat to the Beat concert, you can proceed directly to World ShowPlace, where you will have to wait to check in and receive your glass, plate and program.
Once inside the cavernous World ShowPlace, locate a table for yourself and your party. There are both large tables that seat 10, smaller tables for six, and cocktail tables with high chairs for just a few people. There's still a rush for the best tables, but finally this year they seem to provide adequate seating for most attendees.
Colored fabric streamers are draped from the ceiling inside the World ShowPlace. It's a color-coding system that matches up with the colored sections of your party program. For example, if the taste treats you read about on the pink page sound appetizing, look up to find the "pink zone" -- that's where the tables with your desired food targets will be. There's no rhyme or reason behind the arrangement of the tables, so you can visit whichever areas you want, in whatever order you want. Best of all, you can return to any table again and again as often as you'd like until closing time at 9 p.m.
The event usually does a good job of mixing Disney chefs with those from around the country, but this year it seemed a little heavy on chefs from the World. In fact, better than half (14 out of 25) of the chefs at this Party were from Disney kitchens.
No matter. They still served up some good grub.
There were a few items featuring game or off-beat ingredients this year, and each of those selections that I tried were delicious. The Root Beer Braised Bison Short Ribs came from an unexpected source -- Chef Page Weibley of Disney's Typhoon Lagoon water park. Tender and tasty, this was an interesting dish that I paired with Kaiken's Ultra Malbec Reserve. A great combo. Another game option, the Roasted Loin of Venison, was also very tender and not strong-flavored at all. But of all the non-traditional meats there, I think the true winner was the Ostrich Bobotie, prepared by Boma Chef Tjetjep Sudiswa -- a spicy, flavorful ground meat in a flaky phyllo pastry. This was one of the items that was definitely worth sampling more than once.
Since the offerings vary from week to week, it would be rather cruel of me to tell you how awesome the Beef Tenderloin with Heirloom Apple Salad was, or how big and juicy and delicious the Scallops with Cauliflower Risotto were -- since they probably won't be available when you visit. But I will tell you that you should be glad you missed the Diver Scallops in Pineapple, Pink Peppercorn and Cilantro Salsa. Shudder.
I must admit that this year there were a number of wineries that were new to me, scattered amongst the old standbys of Louis Jadot, Moet & Chandon, Rosemount and Penfolds. I found the Ultra Malbec Reserve from Kaiken (mentioned above) and the Guenoc Lake County Petite Sirah to be quite good, and will look for them on my next outing to the wine store. I also very much enjoyed the chance to again sample the Canadian wine, Mission Hill Estate Oculus, a red blend that I had tried last year at a Food & Wine Pairing event in Le Cellier (the restaurant in Epcot's Canada pavilion). That I know I can't find in a wine shop near me -- and that's a shame.
Adding an extra dash of panache to the evening are the ever-extraordinary performers from Cirque du Soleil's La Nouba, who performed periodically on a centrally located stage. (They did not stroll among the participants this year as they have done in years past -- or if they did, they never made their way to the very back of World ShowPlace, where I was seated.) These tiny tastes of the most excellent Cirque, along with occasional performances by a group of live musicians, complement the evening quite nicely.
I still do believe that if you want to splurge on just one big-ticket event during the Food and Wine Festival, the Party for the Senses is well worth the money. However, I will add that if the price continues its upward trend, this may well be the last year I attend.

A lidless box with square ends is to be made from a thin sheet of metal. Determine the least area of the metal used for which the volume of the box is 3.5m^3.
This is my solution:
A = x^2 + 4xh
Substitute h = 3.5/x^2 into A
So A = x^2 + 14x^-1
dA/dx = 2x - 14x^-2
Equating dA/dx = 0, so x = 1.91cm
Therefore, the least area of the metal used = 10.98cm^2
Also, a couple of comments- never write equations without saying what you are taking the symbols to mean:
If you had specifically written "x= length of base, h= height" you might have caught your mistake.
Before writing h= 3.5/x^2, you should first state where you got that from: V= w*b*h and you were given that the volume is 3.5 m^3.
Finally, I notice that you put units for each measurement- Good! But pay attention to the units. If the volume was given in cubic meters, m^3, are you sure the length of a side should be in centimeters?

The book Americans aren't allowed to buy
Two years ago I expressed my own criticism, and later: rounded up a number of other views, of the case brought by J.D. Salinger against a "sequel" to The Catcher in the Rye written by Fredrik Colting. : Last year, in a guest post, Matthew David Brozik added his own thoughts on the topic — right on the eve of the Second Circuit's stay of the lower-court order essentially barring publication of the book.
The topic came up again, in my mind, when reading this post at Volokh (via Instapundit) challenging the recent public suggestion that "without copyright there would have been no Shakespeare." : This is a silly assertion considering that the Shakespeare we have was, in fact, created without what we would recognize as copyright protection. : And, as well argued in the comments at Volokh, it almost certainlycould not have been created at all under today's ever-expanding copyright laws, considering how "derivative" the Bard's work was of others' — even if it was an improvement. : As I was writing my own little comment on that thread and linking to those older posts about the Colting case, it made me wonder what ever happened to the appeal there. So I checked.
Here's what happened, and only a month ago:
[A]ccording to Publishers' Weekly and the Bookseller, agreement has been reached to publish the book, which takes an aged character, who is evidently the protagonist of the original book, Holden Caulfield, on a journey similar to his original odyssey, escaping from an old people's home back to his old haunts in New York. Echoing the original, it ends with its character, 76-year-old Mr C, standing near a carousel in Central Park. . . .
Colting's lawyers were granted an appeal hearing and Publishers' Weekly says that under a settlement signed last month he has agreed not to publish or distribute his book in the US or Canada until the expiry of copyright on the original [when everyone reading this will almost certainly be dead — RDC], but is allowed to publish elsewhere. Publishers in six countries are said to be interested.
There are restrictions, though: Colting is barred from dedicating it to Salinger, mentioning The Catcher in the Rye or even referring to the previous litigation. He told the magazine: "We've come to an agreement with the Salinger Trust but I am afraid I cannot go into any specifics. Let's just say that the book will be published in a number of countries this year and I am very pleased with that."
I find this pretty surprising, considering the Second Circuit's opinion lifting the original ban. In other words, I believe the publisher has sold out surprisingly cheap in this settlement. : But I was never much of a literature man. Read more

This method should converge to the nearest root if a close enough starting point is choosen.
Maybe your derivative is wrong? Maybe your calculations are out? Are you doing them by hand or using technology?
so I have a cubic equation here with 3 roots I need to find using newtons method. Basically I wanted to know how to determine the starting point. I picked an x value close to the root from what I can tell on the graph but newtons method keeps giving me larger numbers and then smaller numbers on each recursion.
That is quite possible. Pick a different one. Without the actual function, it's a bit difficult to say where one might have failed at the process.
Starting closer is one possible solution. Given some bound on the solution, perhaps given by the failed Newton, ry a bisection or two and then go back to Newton, since the exercise seems to demand it.
I already know the roots, for example one of them is ~-1.7, I picked -2 as a starting point but the recursion isn't getting me anywhere.
so basically I started with
-2 - f(-2)/f'(-2)
and then use that value as my new x

My daughter and son had iMacs until this year. Both have been converted to PC's. My son wanted a gaming rig, so we built that first. My daughter wanted one that could handle graphic art, some rendering, 2d and some 3d, photo and some video editing, Adobe CS5 creative suite and stuff like that. She told me she wanted to play some games as well. She also said she wanted to see if I could make it lavender and purple. This is what we came up with.
I fell in love with the MICRO CENTER in Dallas, Texas when getting several of the pieces. Wish they had a store in Memphis. Got some great combo deals and discounts.
Ok its definitely girly and sparkly. It has Diamond Dust and clear on the top coat of paint. I added one fan porthole to the bottom blowing right up onto where the old hp-nvidia gtx 260 1.8gb video card is. I had the old gpu, from an older hp elite, my old g510 keyboard, used the external dvd, a copy of win7 pro, her old mouse, a 21.5 Samsung 5ms 1080p hd tv from Costco that was on sale, and her Epson V33 scanner. I let her have my Intous5 tablet and pen set (as long as I can borrow it sometime) I added two portholes on the left with Lexan to allow a view of the interior. I had to move the cosair H80 over all the way to the left at the top front, and then cut away a 1" long by 1/3" deep section out of the bottom fan to get it to fit in the case. This even with the low profile ram.
I stepped back after it was done and thought, "Man, the 80's puked up a My Little Pony PC." It runs great and the old GPU works good 55-96 fps in wow on "good" settings.( yeah its an older GPU) I chose the components either on availability, proximity, brand reliability, or just plain "It come in a pack of 3 pinkish red led fans) Yeah some of the stuff could have been cheaper, but its hers, she is overjoyed, and its built.
I hope this is "Future Proofed" for a while. I can change the GPU or SLI two when she gets the money together. I want to convince this one needs a Blueray player/dvd burner, but I haven't figured out one that includes software, is a decent price, and is reliable. Oh and that will add to her total. She is good with the old parts and an external dvd when she needs one, for now.
Got the Lexan on the two portholes and sealed them up. Moved one fan to the side and found out why you should never touch the intake side of a full throttle case fan.(took a chunk out of my finger LOL)
BTW my daughter came to me when her iMac crashed, handed me $560, and asked when we could get started. I am covering what I covered for her brother...... the ram, the case and incidentals, and the monitor.
I ran another prime 95. The temps got up to 81 for a second and it freaked me out. I cleaned and reapplied thermal paste.I lowered her overclock to 4.3. Now, with a good long prime 95 run The highest I got was 63. I am very relieved.
I took out all the red led fans because they were red and loud, and replaced then with quieter ones. I installed a NXZT Hue so she would have purple inside the case and can change it or turn it off at her whimsy. I installed her GTX 770 with the added back plate and a small support to help the card resist sagging. Now she is finally done. No SLI or anything else. The next one will be mine!!!! BTW She is thrilled with the purple color and the fans are so quiet now.
(Cable routing is a pain in the ***. Even though my daughter loves the look of her computer now, I think it looks sloppy still with the random bits of wiring here and there. I tip my hat to all those people who can hide there cables, or route them in such a way that makes the overall build look like art. Makes me want to take one more stab at the routing and placement in this case. One day I will have a build with my cable management top notch.)

Helping hand needed for Grantville woman
"If we don't do this with donations and volunteer labor she will lose the home."
That is the long and short of a predicament faced by Grantville resident whose home was severely damaged by a storm earlier this week. Coweta County home renovator and local Habitat for Humanity board member Jim Sells is working to help the woman secure the labor and materials needed to rebuild the extensively damaged portion of the home.
Sells Wednesday said he is arranging what should be sufficient labor to do the work, but the project is in need of a point person for the donations of money and materials needed for the work.
The situation, said Sells, is that the storm winds pushed a large oak tree onto the residence at 141 Grady Smith Street.
"While the folks were home, no one was injured. The kitchen and bathroom were destroyed and the house cannot be occupied," Sells told The Citizen. "The lady that owns the home has very modest means. The house valued at $23,000 was not insured. She will need help getting the tree removed and repairing her home. Would you please pass this on and put her in your prayers."
Sells said a volunteer with experience removing trees has offered his services and is expected to have that work done sometime Friday. But finding someone to coordinate the donations remains a significant need.
"Is there someone out there that would be the point person to try to organize donations and volunteers to make the repairs once the tree is removed?" Sells asked.
Sells can be contacted at 770-301-8786 or at firstname.lastname@example.com

If LeBron James opts out of his contract with the Miami Heat at the conclusion of the 2013-14 season, he'll become one of the most heavily pursued free agents in the history of sports.
That's not an exaggeration, as it's quite rare that the best player in basketball (by a wide margin right now) hits the open market and gets chased by one of the most storied athletic franchises in the world.
So, which teams are going to become his top suitors?
It's absolutely vital to note the perspective from which this is written. I don't care about where LeBron wants to go. That's utterly irrelevant. This is all about which teams will chase after him in hopes of landing the reigning MVP.
Although more teams will want to get into the running—the Charlotte Bobcats, Philadelphia 76ers, Atlanta Hawks, etc.—those squads have more pressing needs than chasing a pipe dream. The five organizations you'll see presented here have the financial ability and mental space necessary to worry about a pursuit.
The Chicago Bulls are another team that could possibly go after LeBron, but doing so would require amnestying Carlos Boozer, cutting ties with Luol Deng, shipping out Mike Dunleavy and convincing Joakim Noah not to beat up LeBron every day. Consider them the honorable mention.
Now, let's take a speculative look at the five biggest suitors.
