R1900 clog fixed!
Thank you.
I appreciate the response.
Do you have any recommendations for mixing a solution with ammonia? Essentially, a recipe?
The altitude and dry climate here make me cautious about dosing my machine without being sure of what I'm putting into it.
I am currently waiting for my hygrometer to arrive and see what the difference is between my work area when the humidifier is on v. what the workspace is like when it is off.
I have read a good deal lately in this and other forums about the issue of humidity effecting the nozzles of print heads, specifically, pizeo printheads.
I am already anticipating creating a "micro climate" for my printer if my current humidifier (and an anticipated second humidifier) dont bring humidity to an acceptable range.
Zone8-I also looked over a few threads you have posted on this forum last night looking for solutions (more of my waking hours than I care to admit). Thank you for your contribution to this forum. You are a huge asset to this community. I personally found it quite resourceful.

Gas analysis & monitoring system for semiconductor
The Cleanroom is a combined laboratory chemical, mechanical and / or electronic whose main characteristic is the presence of very pure air, that is a very low content of fine dust in suspension. In the process of semiconductor production, the airborne particles (micro-powder) go to irreparably damage the micro-photoetched that form the chip, creating an electronic circuit defective, and then discarded. This process has forced the improvement of industrial production environments, removing particles from the air, for two purposes: to increase the efficiency of production, increasing the yield of quality, and requirement of the manufacturer (of course based on the demand of the market) in shrink increasing the area of etching of semiconductors (just think of the USB storage media in a few years, went from 16 MB to 16 GB without changing the external dimensions).

Comments about Vox AV30 30W 1X10 Analog Modeling Guitar Combo Amp:
Needed a small plug & play deal for the living room and looked at everything at this price range. I wasn't sure about this as there wasn't one local I could plug into, but ordered based on what was on the internet. I'll say straight away it kills Marshall's Code50 no doubt. The Code is lifeless and sterile compared to the AV30. The Crush 35RT has some killer tones, but the AV definitely covers more ground. There are valve tones here, from clean 2 to OD 2 it really reacts, blooms, sags, cleans up and growls like an ALL valve amp would. The decay does kind of square off a bit, especially with the pre amp fat switch engaged. The valve reactor controls have a huger affect on the tone shaping, and with 60V pushing through the 12AX7s there is a lot of valve in the overall tone of this amp. This thing pushes a lot of air for a 30 watt (mostly) solid state amp with a 10" driver. The on board effects are descent, but not nearly as good as the rest of this amp. It has an effects loop, so no big deal on that though. Overall, this is well worth twice the admission price.
Comments about Vox AV30 30W 1X10 Analog Modeling Guitar Combo Amp:
It does get some cool tones and works great for practice and band rehearsals. Definitely does not get that glassy breathy EL34 tube sound. haha

Critic Reviews for Harmony and Me
All Critics (14) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (13) | Rotten (1)
Represents much of what is wonderful and fresh about the recent wave of ultra-low-budget American independent filmmaking.
Austin, Texas, has never looked more unlovely, and its residents more clueless, than in Harmony and Me, a funny, wry mumblecore comedy by Bob Byington.
In a flat, dry affect, the movie sings the breakup blues.
Despite the film's sketchy aesthetic and barely animate lead, its tone is carefully contrived: I'll wager no one in your circle is as dryly funny or spontaneously surreal as Harmony's nonsupport group.
Harmony is a finely tuned comedy, complete with precisely scripted jokes and comic set pieces that swerve toward the playfully perverse.
Slight, indifferently shot, and entirely lacking in ballast, Harmony and Me's sole justification for being is that it's consistently very funny.
Audience Reviews for Harmony and Me
A mumblecore-ish debut feature from writer-director Bob Byington that's far less interested in oblique conversational navel-gazing than in dry humor.
Enjoyed this much more than I expected to... it's nice to see ultra low-budget film making not suck. Complete with Nick Offerman cameo.
This is a surprisingly hilarious indie about a guy trying to get over a breakup. That's about it as far as plot goes. The movie just follows the poor schlubs misadventures, and there is a fine comic payoff in nearly every scene. Here's Harmony's idea of an acceptable eulogy to his departed boss: "He was often unkind to me and it didn`t seem like tough love, like he was trying to inspire me. It seemed more like simple habitual unkindness. I don`t think my memory of him will sustain anything else. Oh, and, uh, he was a pedophile." Funny, no? I`m not sure if this movie would appeal to everyone. "Harmony and Me" is extremely low budget, relentlessly deadpan and I can not figure out who the "Me" in the title is, but I laughed my head off. 4 stars. (Instant Watch on Netflix.)

Stocks discussed on Jim Cramer's Stop Trading! TV segment, Thursday November 23.
J. Crew (JCG), RadioShack (NYSE:RSH), Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE:ANF), Macy's (NYSE:M), JC Penney (NYSE:JCP), Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ:URBN), Limited (LTD), Gap (NYSE:GPS)
Concerning J.Crew's (JCG) $2.86 billion deal to go private, Cramer says CEO Mickey Drexler is a creative force of a dynamic company, and yet every time he tries to innovate, he is besieged by analysts and funds who want to "short the heck out the guy," according to Cramer. He salutes Drexler for no longer being a "hostage to the vicissitudes of hedge funds." Cramer urged viewers not to wait for a higher bid, but to be on the lookout of the "next J.Crew."
There are several companies that are rumored to be on the verge of following in J.Crew's footsteps. Since RadioShack (RSH) has not been taken over yet, it isn't likely to happen in the future, he said. Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) would not be a good target because it is a teen retailer, and such a deal would be "highly unlikely" for Macy's (M). J.C. Penney (JCP) lacks the balance sheet that would make it attractive to private equity.
Urban Outfitters (URBN), like J.Crew, wants to innovate, but The Street punishes the company for novelty. It also has an aggressive buyback. Cramer thinks Limited (LTD), which has Victoria's Secret, Bath&Body Works and White Barn Candle brands might be a good company to take private and spin off into individual companies as IPOs.
While Gap (GPS) has been suggested as a name that could be taken private, because it generates a lot of cash, Cramer doesn't think GPS is that interesting or that it has enough upside.
On a final note, Cramer says tech is "unseasonably strong" and suggests those who think the dollar will fall should buy tech stocks.

Clay Buchholz opposes CC Sabathia in the Bronx as the Red Sox open the final series of what has been a lost season.
Chara 'feels better' as he closes in on return, but won't play in Buffalo
Chara 'feels better' as he closes in on return, but won't play in Buffalo
BRIGHTON, Mass. – Zdeno Chara said he is "feeling better" after going through a full practice with the Bruins, but the captain won't be making the one game road trip to Buffalo for Saturday afternoon's matinee game vs. the Sabres.
Chara was going through line rushes and battle drills with the rest of his teammates while practicing for the second day in a row, but made it clear that his lower body injury hasn't been cleared for game action yet.
"It's day-to-day. It feels better…yeah. But it's still day-to-day," said a rather laconic Chara when it came to questions about his injury. "It would feel much better [to play] than it feels [not playing]."
Claude Julien said his 39-year-old defenseman has moved into true "day-to-day" status as he nears a return after missing what will be his sixth game in a row on Saturday afternoon, but that he isn't quite ready to go just yet.
"[Chara] and [Noel] Acciari won't be on the trip," said Julien. "I think [Chara] is getting pretty close. When you see him at practice things are going pretty well for him. I think that the term day-to-day is fitting for him right now. A lot of times when we say day-to-day we don't know whether it's going to be two days, three days or even a week. But in his case I would say that day-to-day is really day-to-day now with him."
One thing the Bruins can be heartened by is that they've managed to survive without Chara: the B's have gone 2-2-1 and allowed just nine goals in the five games since their No. 1 defenseman went down. They have been able to continue collecting points in sometimes ugly, workmanlike fashion.
That gives the Bruins the luxury of not rushing their D-man along before he's ready and gives some of their other defensemen added confidence that they can effectively do the job with or without their 6-foot-9 stopper.
Slater missing from start of Patriots practice
Slater missing from start of Patriots practice
FOXBORO -- The Patriots were without two key members of their special teams units at Friday's practice.
Both Matthew Slater (foot) and Jordan Richards (knee) were not spotted at the start of the team's most recent workout. Defensive lineman Woodrow Hamilton (illness) was also missing.
Hamilton and Richards did not participate in Thursday's practice. Slater was present on Wednesday and Thursday after missing Sunday's game against the Jets.
The Patriots did have a Gronkowski back on the field Friday, but it wasn't Rob, who was expected to undergo back surgery in Los Angeles. It was fullback Glenn Gronkowski, who has apparently been re-signed to the Patriots practice squad for his fourth go-round on New England's 10-man unit. Practice-squad tight end Kennard Backman, who has not been at Patriots practice since Wednesday, has likely been released in order to make room for Gronkowski.

Two out of the three staff members I dealt with were accommodating and nice. The first room they gave me the a/c didn't work. They were very accommodating and gave me a new one promptly. After the multiple times of my key cards and others key cards didn't work I finally got in my room. The showers smelled milldewy right away. There was still ice in the ice bucket from the previous tenant. Beds are hard and pillows were the size of my hand. I booked one night online and changed my plans and wanted to come a night early. So I called the hotel and booked another night. When I got back to the hotel for my second night again my key cards didn't work. I go to the front desk and they said that my room is not my room. The lady at the desk tried to blame this problem on me and I should have known that since I booked one room online and one by phone that I needed to check out after my first night and check back in for my second. Well all my stuff that was left in my room was not there any more. Luckily the maids were nice enough to not steal my stuff and just put it all in a garbage bag. So they booked me into my room for the second night. Turns out to be the same room that the a/c doesn't work. I said no. I also thought that since I booked one room online and one by phone that I could have the same room two nights in a row. Anyway they gave me their last available room which again the shower was smelly on mildew and the toilet seat fell off as I put it up. The place sucks and definitely not worth the $70 a night I spent on it. It's really only worth about $40 a night. Oh and the continental breakfast was worthless. Don't stay here. You will regret it.
Room had a fridge Pool was closed because it was too dirty, door to outside was out of order, TV in room and in breakfast area did not work, free breakfast offerings were very limited, carpets throughout the hotel were filthy, bed was very hard, ice machine was out of order, soda machine was empty...
I got a refund dirty and smelly.I stayed one night and rebooked my stay at another hotel
nothing the hallway smelled like vomite. People were living in the rooms around us. People were screaming at each other all night and all morning. Food scraps and garbage all over the hallway. The worst motel I have ever seen in my life
Staff were excellent
Big, clean rooms Fantastic breakfast with omelets, bacon, waffles, oatmeal, etc! Good price online, but too high if purchased at front desk. 3 MB/s internet speed too slow for 2016. And fast, cheap internet is available in the local market. This needs to be fixed to bring internet access up to the rest of the hotel's standards.
Hotel was booked solid. Not enough tables and chairs for breakfast room. Sat on floor and held plate in my hand!

location not very sound proof

The hotel staff were friendly and efficient, they could not have been nicer or more helpful and exceeded expectations. The hotel and common area is old and showing wear and age. Carpet was probably clean, but worn and a bit sad. The room was clean, but again a bit tired and in need of updating. there was a hole in the bathroom door, another sign of a good deal of wear.
Offered continental breakfast. Continental breakfast too short, only went until 9am.

The location was convenient. Breakfast was good. Staff was wonderful. The shower head in our room was totally faced out of the shower and could not be adjusted. Please fix this. Everything else was great.
Hotel Employee was the manager that was there both when we checked in and checked out. It was the best customer service we have every received at a hotel...period! She was very friendly and always eager to serve us with a genuine care for our time in
Decent breakfast.
Convrnient and nicely remodelled
Comfortable bed and pillows. Comparably good value for the price. MSNBC available on TV. Location is convenient to my business meeting. Breakfast was disappointing. Wasteful disposable plates and utensils. Foods have unhealthy preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, nitrites.

Nice clean hotel, staff were great and location was good . Will stay there next time in town. No
Every staff member was friendly! The breakfast was fresh and very good every morning. :) It was nice that the hot tub was open late, adults only from 10pm-12am. Thanks for taking care of us during our visit! I only gave low on the location cause it was a seven minute drive to the university but the area felt safe.
Quiet. Friendly staff
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Being renovated, nice staff They had booked a large group of teenagers (a sports group), who were running around all 3 floors of the hotel and unruly and out of control. I complained to front desk twice, nothing was done about it, so I found a parent chaperone and complained to them
Good breakfast, friendly staff
there was nothing I liked best The person at the check in counter-very nice...so was the individual taking care of the breakfast counter. The hotel room was really dirty. I didn't let anyone sit in the desk chair (very dirty/didn't know what I couldn't see), the bathroom was not good
This hotels staff was very kind and helpful. It was clean and comfortable. Nothing bad with this hotel.
It was nice to have popcorn the first night we stayed, front desk provided some sacks of popcorn for the guests. Our room did not get cleaned the second night of our stay. Front desk was not very friendly and we had items stolen out of our motorcycle that was parked in parking lot.
The staff were very friendly no
its quite, good location, not too far from downtown. overall its a good hotel.
Check in lady was nice and helpful. Other than that the place is a no-go. Dirty. TV wouldn't work. Heat register was busted on the ground (hazard if you have kids). You can hear other rooms. I would not feel safe here if I was not a male. I swear one guest hid from me, and then followed me to my room. Sketchy place. The room was terrible. I booked a double queen but Received single queen. Terrible experience. Would not stay again.
Pool was nice rooms were nice staff was nice Beds could updated
coffee maker in the room, continental breakfast, late check in Semi-trucks taking up 4 parking spots leaving no parking for anyone else the first night and less trucks but still searching for parking the next night.

Brunei Darussalam Residents
Brunei is considered to be the most observant Islamic country in the Southeast Asia region. The residents are very friendly and forward-thinking in their attitudes to globalisation and international trends. This does not extend to their laws on alcohol which is banned within the country, along with bringing in meat that is not halal. During Ramadan drinking, eating or smoking in front of other people who are fasting is considered to be extremely rude. Interestingly enough, criminal acts (petty theft and the like) are handled by'English Court' while a Muslim Court handles personal matters like divorce proceedings; the two courts never meet. Out of the population, 67% is of Malay and indigenous peoples while 15% are Chinese. The rest of the population demographic are Westerners, Indonesians, Indians and Bangladeshis.

Sleep Happy is the 33rd animated cartoon short subject in the Woody Woodpecker series. Released theatrically on March 26, 1951, the film was produced by Walter Lantz Productions and distributed by Universal-International.
As an exhausted Woody trudges through the streets trying to find a room for the night, he comes across a vacancy in Wally Walrus' house. Woody instantly falls asleep in Wally's bed and begins to snore in a variety of bizarre ways that drive him crazy all night long. When morning comes, Woody awakes refreshed and goes cheerfully on his way, while Wally is left to suffer the effects of sleep deprivation.
- There is no director's credit for this film. Lantz himself has claimed to have directed Sleep Happy, but does not receive on-screen credit.
- Sleep Happy was one of two 1951 Woody Woodpecker shorts that storymen Ben Hardaway and Heck Allen had storyboarded and scripted before the 1948 layoff (the other being Puny Express). When the studio reopened for business in 1950, Lantz wrote some addition material for both films but does not receive on-screen credit as writer.
- Sleep Happy marks the first use the more famous opening title card animation sequence (where Woody completely bursts through the wood plank, pecks out his name, and dances around while saying his signature line and laughing), which would be used for the remainder of the series. Also, a new big band rendition of the Woody Woodpecker theme song was first used here, which was later modified into a jazzier version, and continued until The Great Who-Dood-It when it was shortened.
- The scene of Woody walking away from the screen at the tail end was recycled from Puny Express.
- On some re-issues of this, such as with Wet Blanket Policy and Wild and Woody!, in the beginning Grace Stafford does a voice-over of what Woody's thinking.

What's Driving Mobile BI Adoption?by Monique Morgan
The bring your own device (BYOD) trend has moved from hype to reality, from nice-to-have to necessity and from business option to expectation. It's a workplace trend that's driven by worker demands, and as many as 60% of organizations will give in to allow personal devices in the workplace by the end of 2013. In the same way, the new era of business intelligence is driven by consumer technologies like mobility and collaboration, and that's one of the reasons we're seeing such an uptick in mobile BI adoption plans this year...people are simply demanding it.
Mobile BI Plans
According to a 2012 benchmark study by Ventana Research on Next Generation Business Intelligence, 53% of companies are currently deploying or plan to deploy tablets in their BI environment, a trend driven by executives who use their own mobile devices for work and are asking for support. BI vendors have been quick to respond – like others, we released our own product, arcplan Mobile, in early 2011 in anticipation of the trend.
The 2012 Successful BI Survey by BI Scorecard revealed that organizations that have already deployed mobile BI and been successful enjoy an adoption rate of 39%, much higher than industry average. BI Scorecard founder Cindi Howson thinks mobile BI "will be the technology that helps BI become more mainstream and impactful."
Most recently, the latest CIO Magazine Tech Priorities survey revealed that IT spending will increase in 2013, with the heaviest investments to be made in mobile technology and business intelligence.
So it's clear that mobile use in (and out) of the workplace is growing and will continue to do so, and that mobile BI is becoming more important over time, and may soon be the primary method by which users access BI in the not-too-distant future. In 2013, you can't afford to ignore mobility as part of your company's BI strategy.
Forces Driving Mobile BI Adoption
The needs of modern workers are changing. First, they're more remote than ever. IDC predicts significant growth in the number of mobile workers, reaching 1.3 billion or 37.2% of the total workforce by 2015. These workers need mobile devices to stay productive, to remain in touch while on the go, and to make decisions without being tethered to the office, a desk, or a desktop computer. They use smartphones and tablets which are practically ubiquitous now. According to Gartner, over one billion smartphones and tablets will be purchased in 2013 – up from 821 million in 2012. Naturally, people want to access the same things on their phones and tablets as they do on their laptops and desktops, and they increasingly want to access BI data on them. Howard Dresner's Wisdom of Crowds Mobile Business Intelligence Market Study revealed that organizations of all sizes say they will be using mobile BI substantially by 2015. Executives and other on-the-go workers can't afford to wait until they get back to the office to make decisions. They need metrics wherever they are and mobile BI is the key.
Make It Easy On Yourself
Mobile BI is on the agenda for many organizations this year and as a relatively new technology, it can be overwhelming for some. My advice is to select a tool that'll minimize the amount of work needed to deploy mobile BI apps. We've written on this blog before about the importance of designing applications specifically for mobile devices – that the adoption rate won't be nearly as high if you simply roll out a desktop app for mobile and expect people to live with it. You should consider solutions that employ responsive design, a concept that enables applications to be automatically tailored to the end user's device. It eliminates the need to redesign apps for each type of device – since your CEO might have a 9" tablet and a 4.5" smartphone, and your CFO might have a 5" phone and a 15" laptop, etc – and should save everyone a lot of time and trouble when it comes to your mobile BI rollout.
You've likely invested a lot in your business intelligence solution and you want people to use it. Mobile BI is another way to increase BI adoption at a low cost. In fact, arcplan's mobile BI solution is free for our customers and with one click can be deployed to any device from iPads and iPhones to Windows phones and Android devices.
How has mobile BI affected BI adoption at your company? Leave me a comment!

Need virtualmin and bind setup help
I have a server at ServerMatrix running RHE and I'm having a heck of a time getting Virtualmin to work.
I am under the impression I need Bind running in order for Virtualmin to work.. but I am unable to get bind to install correctly according to the many chroot how-to's I've found.
I've been messing with it for a while.. I'm wore out and tired of paying for 2 servers while I try to get this one working. I need someone (with some decent references) to get virtualmin to work so I can get rid of the more expensive server and save me some money. Or maybe a very patient soul can just walk me through some stuff but I'm pretty tired of messing with it so that might not be a good idea
I'm not a rich man but I'm losing money every second this other server is just sitting there not used. Email me or just respond here.
brad at Xceedspeed.com is my email.

BOARD OF EDUCATION OF the CITY OF NEW YORK and Irving Anker, Chancellor of City School District, Plaintiffs,
Joseph A. CALIFANO, Secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare; Ewald Nyquist, Commissioner of Education of the State of New York; New York State Division of Human Rights: Melvin Barman, Noah Gelfond and Daniel Gavrin, on behalf of themselves and on behalf of all male Health and Physical Education Teachers, etc., Claire Cohen, Cynthia Crawford and Joyce Silversmith, etc., Defendants
The Board of Education of the City of New York and Irving Anker, the Chancellor of the New York City School District (collectively, the Board), brought this action in April 1977 against the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and its Secretary, Joseph Califano, (collectively, HEW), the Commissioner of Education of the State of New York and the New York State Division of Human Rights (collectively, the state defendants), and certain male and female physical education teachers in the New York City School system, both individually and as representatives of classes of male and female teachers respectively. The Board sought declaratory and injunctive relief to resolve allegedly disparate determinations by the state defendants and HEW as to the legality of a proposed merger of seniority lists for male and female physical education teachers and to uphold the legality of the proposed merger.
Until 1973 the Board gave separate examinations for male and female physical education teachers, and consequently maintained separate lists for eligible candidates for appointment and for seniority, since the lists were based in part on the results of those examinations. On October 5, 1976, the State Commissioner of Education ordered the Board to merge the seniority lists on the grounds that the maintenance of separate lists constituted unlawful sex discrimination. While the Board was preparing to comply with the Commissioner's order,
a representative of HEW informed the Board that HEW was considering whether the proposed merger would violate Title IX, 20 U.S.C. §§ 1681 et seq.
The Board filed this action to obtain a resolution of the apparently conflicting positions of the State Commissioner and HEW.
The male teachers counterclaimed that the maintenance of separate seniority lists for male and female teachers constituted sex discrimination and that the layoffs of male teachers in 1975 based on separate lists were unlawful. They seek back pay and other benefits which they allege they would have received had they not been laid off.
On December 15, 1977, HEW's motion to dismiss was granted on the grounds that there was no case or controversy between the Board and HEW since HEW had not made a formal determination as to the legality of the proposed merger or to withhold funds. On November 17, 1979, the state defendants' motion for summary judgment was granted on the grounds that there was no controversy between the Board and the state defendants since both parties agreed that the lists should be merged.
The male teachers now move for summary judgment on their counterclaim.
They contend that in 1975, they were laid off while the Board retained female teachers who were hired after they were. They claim that this action violated their rights under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e et seq., Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U.S.C. §§ 1681 et seq., New York Executive Law §§ 296, 297 (McKinney 1972 & Supp.1980-1981), and the equal protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment and the New York Constitution.
The Board raises several defenses to the motion. First, it contends that there is a material question of fact as to whether the maintenance of separate seniority lists for men and women constitutes a "bona fide" seniority system as that term is used in Section 703(h), 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(h). If it were "bona fide" it would be valid as a matter of law under that section. Second, the Board contends that the layoffs do not constitute discrete acts occurring after the effective date of Title VII, as hence are not actionable. Third, the Board argues that according to the considerations set forth in Los Angeles Department of Water and Power v. Manhart, 435 U.S. 702, 98 S. Ct. 1370, 55 L. Ed. 2d 657 (1978), the male teachers are not entitled to retroactive relief. Fourth, the Board contends that Title IX did not require the merger of the lists until 1978, and that the failure to merge the lists earlier was a reasonable response to a letter from an HEW representative which indicated that the merger might violate the rights of the female students under Title IX. Finally, the Board argues that as to the claim under the Fourteenth Amendment, there is no evidence of intent to discriminate as required by Washington v. Davis, 426 U.S. 229, 96 S. Ct. 2040, 48 L. Ed. 2d 597 (1976) and Village of Arlington Heights v. Metropolitan Housing Development Corporation, 429 U.S. 252, 97 S. Ct. 555, 50 L. Ed. 2d 450 (1977).
A. Title VII
1. Bona Fide Seniority System
Section 703(h) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(h), provides in part:
"Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter, it shall not be an unlawful employment practice for an employer to apply different standards of compensation, or different terms, conditions, or privileges of employment pursuant to a bona fide seniority or merit system, or a system which measures earnings by quantity or quality of production or to employees who work in different locations, provided that such differences are not the result of an intention to discriminate because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, nor shall it be an unlawful employment practice for an employer to give and to act upon the results of any professionally developed ability test provided that such test, its administration or action upon the results is not designed, intended or used to discriminate because of race, color, religion, sex or national origin."
We agree with the Board that there is a material question of fact as to whether its prior maintenance of separate seniority lists for men and women constituted a "bona fide" seniority system within the meaning of the statute. The construction of the term was discussed in Acha v. Beame, 570 F.2d 57, 64 (2d Cir. 1978). Women police officers of the New York City Police Department claimed that the layoff of female police officers pursuant to a "last-hired, first-fired" seniority policy constituted illegal sex discrimination. The court, affirming the district court's decision to vacate a partial summary judgment, reviewed the principles applicable to a determination whether a seniority system is "bona fide:"
"Section 703(h) of the Act immunized only "bona fide' seniority systems. Bona fides, in the context of the statute requires, at least in part, that the seniority system be applied fairly and impartially to all employees, that it not have its "genesis in (unlawful) discrimination,' and that it be maintained free from illegal purposes.... A system designed or operated to discriminate on an illegal basis is not a "bona fide' system."
Id. (citations omitted).
The Board argues that its seniority system was bona fide in that it operated according to "last-hired, first-fired" within each teachers license. According to the Board, separate physical education programs had been administered for male and female students. The separate qualifying tests given to male and female candidates to teach physical education rated the different capabilities required for the separate programs. The teachers were licensed separately, based in part on the results of the exams. Consequently, the Board argues, the layoffs of men hired before women who were retained resulted from the neutral policy of basing seniority on the separate testing and licensing of male and female teachers.
The male teachers contend that the physical education programs for male and female students were not entirely separate according to the sex of their teachers, as the Board claims. They argue that there was cross-over by the faculty teaching these programs, that is, that male teachers taught female students and female teachers taught male students. (Notably, the male teachers do not specify how much cross-over occurred, so that it cannot now be determined whether it was de minimis or sufficient to show that the Board's stated purpose for the separate licensing system is a sham.) Moreover, they argue that the Board's discriminatory purpose in maintaining the separate seniority lists is demonstrated by its refusal to merge the seniority lists despite decisions since 1973 by the state Commissioner of Education and courts holding that the separate lists were illegal. See, e.g., Matter of Board of Education v. Stein, 47 App.Div.2d 964, 369 N.Y.S.2d 1016 (2d Dep't 1975); Matter of Daniel Gavrin v. Board of Education, 16 Ed.Dept.Rep. 109 (Comm'r of Educ. 1976).
Consequently, there is a material question of fact raised as to whether the Board's purpose in maintaining the separate lists was discriminatory, or whether it was to facilitate the maintenance of separate physical education programs for male and female students, and to meet the distinct needs of the male and female students in those programs. Accordingly, summary judgment cannot be granted either party on this issue.
2. Post-Act Discrimination
The Board argues that the male teachers have not alleged the occurrence of a discrete discriminatory act after 1972, the date Title VII became applicable to municipalities, as required by International Brotherhood of Teamsters v. United States, 431 U.S. 324, 97 S. Ct. 1843, 52 L. Ed. 2d 396 (1977), and United Air Lines, Inc. v. Evans, 431 U.S. 553, 97 S. Ct. 1885, 52 L. Ed. 2d 571 (1977).
It is not disputed that those cases establish that a bona fide seniority system's promulgation of discrimination occurring before the effective date of Title VII is not actionable unless a discrete discriminatory act occurs after that date. The male teachers argue that such a discrete discriminatory act occurred when the Board refused to merge the "illegally maintained, separate job title lists."
Resolution of this issue depends on whether the maintenance of the two licenses for male and female teachers was "illegal" or whether it constituted a bona fide seniority system under section 703(h). If it was bona fide, then the refusal to merge the lists did not violate Title VII. If it was not, then its continued operation constitutes a discrete discriminatory act occurring after Title VII became applicable. Since we conclude that there is a question of fact as to whether this seniority system was bona fide, it cannot be determined at this time whether the requisite discriminatory act occurred after 1972.
3. Retroactive Relief
In Los Angeles Department of Water and Power v. Manhart, 435 U.S. 702, 98 S. Ct. 1370, 55 L. Ed. 2d 657 (1978), the Supreme Court held that the award of retroactive monetary damages was inappropriate under the circumstances of that case. The Court concluded that a requirement that female employees contribute more to a pension fund than male employees violated Title VII. Nevertheless, the Court reversed the damages award, for several reasons. First, the Court noted that the fund administrator could not have known that the policy was illegal because the courts had not decided the question, and administrative agencies had expressed conflicting views. Second, there was no need of a threat of a backpay award to cause other pension fund administrators to conform their practices. Third, the prohibition against sex-differentiated employee contributions represented "a marked departure from past practice." Finally, if the award were upheld, "(t)he harm would fall in large part on innocent third parties," that is, the employees who would receive less from the fund, or who would have to pay more into it. Id. at 719-23, 98 S. Ct. at 1380-1382.
The Board argues that, assuming the maintenance of separate lists violated Title VII, a retroactive award of back pay would be inappropriate here, because (1) there were conflicting views expressed by HEW and the state agencies as to the legality of the Board's separate lists, (2) the failure of the Board to merge the lists was due not to recalcitrance but to the complexity of the problems created by the merger, (3) an award of backpay is not necessary to convince other school or non-school administrators to change programs where appropriate, (4) the merger of the lists represented a departure from past practices, and (5) the Board needed time to convert to a unitary physical education program as required by Title IX and "to merge the lists in a manner which would not adversely impact on female students."
We agree with the Board that even if it were held that the maintenance of separate seniority lists for men and women violated Title VII, the relief sought here an award of back pay would be inappropriate. First, the Board had received conflicting views as to whether the separate seniority lists were lawful. The New York State Commissioner of Education had determined that they were not; a representative of HEW had indicated that merger of those lists would violate the Title IX rights of the female students. Indeed, the conflict was the original precipitating cause of this suit which, at the time the suit was filed, sought protection for the Board against being caught between the conflicting views. The male teachers argue that because we ruled on HEW's motion to dismiss that HEW had not taken a position on this question, the Board was not given conflicting views by the administrative agencies. However, we ruled only that for purposes of determining whether a controversy existed between the parties, HEW had not made a final determination on the matter. It does not follow from that conclusion that the Board could not reasonably believe from the letter of the HEW representative that there was a conflict in the views of the state agencies and HEW.
Second, nothing in the record suggests, and experience renders it altogether doubtful that an award of back pay is necessary to induce other school or non-school administrators to change their practices where appropriate. Third, the current prohibition against separate seniority lists represents a departure from past practices. Finally, we note that payment of a retroactive award would be made ultimately by "innocent third parties," that is New York City taxpayers.
Accordingly, since under Manhart, it would be "inappropriate" to award back pay (the sole relief requested), the Title VII claim is dismissed.
B. Title IX
Section 901 of Title IX, 20 U.S.C. § 1681, provides:
"No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance ...."
The Board argues that under the regulations promulgated by HEW to implement this statute, it was not required to merge the two lists until July 1978. The section of the regulations which required the Board to merge the two physical education programs did not become effective until July 1978. 45 C.F.R. § 86.34(a). The Board argues that it reasonably believed that it would have violated Title IX if it had merged the seniority lists before the merger of the physical education programs was complete. The Board bases this belief on a letter to that effect from John Wodatch, a representative of HEW. That letter stated:
"As you are aware, Title IX requires an expeditious transition to a unitary physical education program in which staff and student assignment would not be predicated upon sex. Until the full merger of the male and female physical education programs is accomplished, a reduction in the number of women physical education teachers would result in female physical education classes being taught by teachers with less experience and expertise in the activities which are currently taught to female students. Conversely, male students would continue to receive instruction from teachers who have been trained, tested, and have gained experience in the activities which make up the male physical education program. Such disparate treatment would constitute a violation of Title IX's general prohibition against discrimination based upon sex.
"If the Board of Education cannot prevent such an adverse impact from occurring, I have concluded that the merger of these seniority lists for excessing and layoff purposes should not occur until there is a complete merger of the physical education departments, instructional programs and licensing examinations as mandated by Title IX."
The male teachers argue that the Board was required by another section of the regulations not to "(maintain) or establish separate lines of ... seniority systems ... for similar jobs, ... which classify persons on the basis of sex, unless sex is a bona-fide occupational qualification for the positions in question," 45 C.F.R. § 86.55(a), and that that section was effective July 1975, 45 C.F.R. § 86.1.
The Board responds that the section of the regulations on which the male teachers rely is inapplicable because, it argues, it "did not maintain or establish separate seniority systems "on the basis of sex.' "
Resolution of the question depends on whether maintenance of the separate lists was discriminatory. As indicated above, there is a question of fact raised as to this issue.
Accordingly, the motion for summary judgment on the Title IX claim is denied.
C. Fourteenth Amendment
The Board contends that there is no evidence of record which establishes that its maintenance of two seniority lists was motivated by "invidious discriminatory purposes" as required by Washington v. Davis, 426 U.S. 229, 96 S. Ct. 2040, 48 L. Ed. 2d 597 (1976), and Village of Arlington Heights v. Metropolitan Housing Development Corp., 429 U.S. 252, 97 S. Ct. 555, 50 L. Ed. 2d 450 (1977), in cases of alleged violations of the Fourteenth Amendment.
The teachers argue that they have demonstrated the requisite discriminatory purpose by virtue of the Board's refusal to merge the lists despite repeated decisions since 1973 that the separate lists were unlawful.
Matter of Board of Education v. Stein, 47 App.Div.2d 964, 369 N.Y.S.2d 1016 (2d Dep't 1975); Matter of Daniel Gavrin v. Board of Education, 16 Ed.Dept.Rep. 109 (Comm'r of Education 1976).
However, we disagree that such facts, even if true would suffice to prove discriminatory purpose. A number of purposes may be inferred with equal validity from those facts. Among such inferences is that the Board chose not to disadvantage the female students by excessing additional female teachers before the merger of the physical education programs was complete (as the Board was advised by the HEW representative would happen).
Accordingly, the motion for summary judgment on the claim under the Fourteenth Amendment is denied.
D. State Law
The teachers allege violations of their rights under sections 296 and 297 of the New York Executive Law and under the equal protection clause of the New York Constitution.
In the papers submitted on this motion, the parties fail to address the merits of the claims asserted under state law. Neither side discusses whether and how the considerations relevant to those claims differ from those pertaining to the federal claims. Therefore it cannot be determined whether either side is entitled to summary judgment on these claims.
Accordingly, the motion for summary judgment on the claims under the New York Executive Law and Constitution is denied.
The Board of Education is granted summary judgment dismissing the claim under Title VII. The motion for summary judgment on all other claims is denied.
It is so ordered.

Safest Atmore Neighborhoods
The crime rate in Atmore is considerably higher than the national average across all communities in America from the largest to the smallest, although at 35 crimes per one thousand residents, it is not among the communities with the very highest crime rate. The chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime in Atmore is 1 in 28. Based on FBI crime data, Atmore is not one of the safest communities in America. Relative to Alabama, Atmore has a crime rate that is higher than 71% of the state's cities and towns of all sizes.
Importantly, when you compare Atmore to other communities of similar population, then Atmore crime rate (violent and property crimes combined) is quite a bit higher than average. Regardless of how Atmore does relative to all communities in America of all sizes, when NeighborhoodScout compared it to communities of similar population size, its crime rate per thousand residents stands out as higher than most.
The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 18,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.
Now let us turn to take a look at how Atmore does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Atmore.
For Atmore, we found that the violent crime rate is one of the highest in the nation, across communities of all sizes (both large and small). Violent offenses tracked included rape, murder and non-negligent manslaughter, armed robbery, and aggravated assault, including assault with a deadly weapon. According to NeighborhoodScout's analysis of FBI reported crime data, your chance of becoming a victim of one of these crimes in Atmore is one in 135.
NeighborhoodScout's analysis also reveals that Atmore's rate for property crime is 28 per one thousand population. This makes Atmore a place where there is an above average chance of becoming a victim of a property crime, when compared to all other communities in America of all population sizes. Property crimes are motor vehicle theft, arson, larceny, and burglary. Your chance of becoming a victim of any of these crimes in Atmore is one in 36.

Standard Fact Sheet
Expanded Fact Sheet - Institutional Shares
3Q16 Quarterly Letter
Baron Opportunity Fund performed well during the third quarter, continuing a steady improvement from a challenging start to the year. In January and February, investors appeared to put significant weight on macro downside risks: a sharp economic slowdown in China, the end of the U.S. economic recovery, persistent low and even negative sovereign interest rates, collapsing oil prices, etc. As we have progressed through the year, concerns over those fears have turned more optimistic and the market environment has been more favorable for the Fund. But macro uncertainties always exist. Today they involve such issues as whether the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates before the end of the year, the outcome of one of our nation's most troubling presidential elections in recent history, the persistent challenges in the Middle East (Syria, Iraq, ISIS, etc.) and the seemingly ever-present threats of terrorist attacks, and, of course, what the next move in the stock market will be. While we try to stay abreast of all these issues, we remain focused on what we can control: our industry and company research and portfolio construction decisions.
The consistent strategy of the Fund has been to invest in high growth, innovative businesses capitalizing on powerful secular trends. This is how we strive to distinguish ourselves from a passive index or ETF, as well as generalized growth funds, and to provide our investors with what we believe is a unique investment vehicle in today's increasingly passive, index-driven investment mindset. In a world and market concerned about where growth will come from, we aim to differentiate not by trying to figure out the next bend in the cyclical growth curve, but by identifying powerful secular trends–generational, paradigm or tectonic shifts across industries and society–that will drive robust long-term growth regardless of the short-term fluctuations of the underlying economy. These trends are visible, impactful, and persistent. They are where the world's going, not where it's been (paraphrasing the great hockey player Wayne Gretzky). We believe many of the businesses that emerge as winners will possess significant growth opportunities, considerable moats to sustain their leadership and capture large profit pools from the legacy way of doing things.
Some of the powerful secular themes in which we invest include 1) cloud computing and software-as-a-service, 2) mobile, 3) big data and analytics, 4) digital (internet-delivered) media, 5) e-commerce, 6) genetics, 7) electronic medical records, 8) immuno-oncology, 9) targeted digital advertising, 10) cybersecurity, 11) electric drive vehicles and autonomous driving, and 12) electronic payments.
We believe wholeheartedly in the strategy for the Fund: growth based on powerful, long-term, innovation-driven secular growth trends. In the highly uncertain world we live in, we believe non-cyclical, sustainable, and resilient growth should be part of investors' portfolios.
Shares of Amazon.com, Inc., the world's largest retailer and cloud services provider, rose in Q3 after reporting strong revenue growth and improving margins in its core business. Amazon's other major business segment, Amazon Web Services (AWS), continues to gain traction with enterprise customers, and had another strong quarter of growth. Over time, we expect AWS to be the larger contributor to value creation. The company continues to invest in new and potentially large business segments such as e-finance, business supplies and apparel.
Alphabet Inc. is the world's largest search and online advertising company. Shares of Alphabet were up in Q3, driven by quarterly results that surpassed Wall Street expectations. We continue to believe that even while desktop search is becoming a more mature business for the company, Alphabet is well positioned to benefit from substantial growth in mobile and online video advertising.
Acxiom Corporation is a leader in marketing data services and identity management for enterprises. Shares of Acxiom were up in Q3, driven by rapid growth in the company's cloud-based connectivity and identity business. We believe that Acxiom is benefiting from a streamlining of operations and a focus on returning the core business to profitable growth while accelerating the growth of its new LiveRamp business.
Bristol-Myers Squibb Company is a large diversified pharmaceutical leading the development of immune stimulating therapies for oncology. These efforts are spearheaded by its product Opdivo, now approved to treat several types of cancer. After positive data was released on a rival drug to treat first-line advanced non-small-cell lung cancer, Bristol-Myers revealed that Opdivo did not meet the primary endpoint in a Phase III trial in the same indication, and shares fell. We are analyzing the competitor's trial results and Bristol-Myers data sets.
Shares of Gartner, Inc., a provider of syndicated IT research, relinquished some gains due to tougher comparisons and slightly more challenging macro conditions. We believe Gartner's key metrics are solid. The company has significant financial flexibility, and we think it will aggressively deploy capital for repurchases or mergers and acquisitions. Over time, in our view, Gartner will generate accelerating top line growth, significant growth in earnings and free cash flow, and persistent return of capital.
Shares of cloud computing pioneer salesforce.com, inc. decreased in Q3. The company reported mixed bookings results due to execution issues in the domestic market. We believe that salesforce's addressable market is more than 10 times larger than its current run rate revenue, giving it ample opportunity to compound revenue in excess of 20% annually. We believe the company is highly innovative, and has a strong track record of disrupting legacy environments with next-generation software.
When reviewing performance attribution on our portfolio, please be aware that we construct the portfolio from the bottom up, one stock at a time. Each stock is included in the portfolio if it meets our rigorous investment criteria. To help manage risk, we are aware of our sector and security weights, but we do not include a holding to achieve a target sector allocation or to approximate an index. Our exposure to any given sector is purely a result of our stock selection process.
Baron Opportunity Fund increased 6.47% in the third quarter and outperformed the Russell 3000 Growth Index by 155 basis points due to relative sector weights. Larger exposure to outperforming small cap stocks, which rose more than 10% within the index, also added value.
Consumer Discretionary, Financials, and Health Care investments and lack of exposure to the lagging Consumer Staples sector, which fell 4.8% in the index, contributed the most to relative results. Within Consumer Discretionary, outperformance of internet & direct marketing retail holdings Amazon.com, Inc. and The Priceline Group, Inc. and larger exposure to this better performing sub-industry, which rose 15.5% in the index, added the most value. Amazon was the largest contributor to absolute results, while shares of online travel agency Priceline rose on solid Q2 results and a robust outlook for Q3. Strength in Financials was mainly due to the outperformance of brokerage firm The Charles Schwab Corp. and electronic trading platform company MarketAxess Holdings Inc. Schwab's shares appreciated on strong asset growth, while shares of MarketAxess rose on robust trading activity as average daily volume grew 34% in Q3 compared to the year-ago period. MarketAxess also reported excellent Q2 results with 28% revenue growth and 36% EPS growth, both exceeding Street estimates. Within Health Care, outperformance of Illumina, Inc. and Sage Therapeutics, Inc. and lower exposure to poor performing pharmaceutical stocks, which fell 7.4% within the index, lifted relative results. Shares of DNA sequencing company Illumina increased after the company reported financial results that beat Street expectations and reiterated guidance for the year. Shares of Sage, which is developing treatments for central nervous system disorders, rose sharply after the company announced positive top-line results from its Phase II trial with SAGE-547 for the treatment of severe postpartum depression.
Underperformance of Information Technology (IT) investments detracted from relative results, but this negative effect was somewhat offset by significantly larger exposure to this strong performing sector, which increased double-digits in the index. Weakness in IT was mostly attributable to the underperformance of Gartner, Inc. and application software investments, led by Guidewire Software, Inc. and salesforce.com, inc. Gartner and salesforce were two of the largest detractors on an absolute basis, while shares of P&C insurance software vendor Guidewire fell on earnings guidance slightly below Street expectations due to an accounting-related deferral that we expect will reverse next year. Semiconductor holding Mellanox Technologies Ltd. also weighed on relative performance after the company reported disappointing Q2 results.

Mumbai 125 KM
A; Horror
Dir: Hemant Madhukar
Cast: Karanvir Bohra, Veena Malik, Vedita Pratap Singh, Vije Bhatia
Bollywood has steadily been feeding us with a unique genre of films — supposedly horror but supersilly to the point of hilarity films. Mumbai 125 KM perfectly fits into this category. The default setting is of five friends travelling to Mumbai through a jungle in the dead of the night to celebrate New Year's eve. Boys are drunk, girls are in short clothes and there is plenty of smooching and cuddling thrown in.
Somewhere in the middle of this unwittingly hilarious journey, as the characters foolishly stop the car innumerable times, trying to help out random, strange ghosts coming out of the jungle, you stop caring if any of them is left dead or alive
There is blood and gore, the background music has some suitable eerie noises now and then and there is a woman in white sashaying around aimlessly. Oh, isn't that enough to spook you? You still looking for a plot, eh? So among the five friends, three don't really like each other because one's current girlfriend is another's ex now. The film opens with a tacky item song taking you through the back story of the five friends. And it also tells you what to expect for the rest of the movie.
Somewhere in the middle of this unwittingly hilarious journey, as the characters foolishly stop the car innumerable times, trying to help out random, strange ghosts coming out of the jungle, you stop caring if any of them is left dead or alive. They seemed too stupid to be left alive anyway.
Veena Malik comes as the icing on this already inedible cake. Can't decide which is worse — Malik as the stone faced ghost that can fly, or the bikini clad, cleavage-baring frustrated woman who shrieks out insensitive gems like 'you are a f***ing gay' when she is alive and literally kicking. I will settle for the ghost version because she keeps her mouth shut in that one.
