25% of test-takers qualify for G&T programs
There were few surprises in today's release of the numbers of children who qualified for the city's elementary gifted and talented programs. Hundreds of kids qualified from Manhattan's districts 2 and 3, compared to only a dozen from District 7 in the South Bronx, according to statistics released Monday afternoon by the Department of Education.
In total, 25 percent of the 36,413 test-takers entering kindergarten through 3rd grade were eligible for a district or citywide gifted program, just slightly below the 26 percent who were eligible last year.
The number of incoming kindergartners who scored in the 99th percentile—the score usually necessary for a chance at entry into one of the five coveted citywide G&T schools—fell from 985 in 2014 to 689 in 2015. Children who score at or above the 90th percentile are eligible for a district G&T program; those who score between the 97 and 99th percentile are eligible for a citywide gifted school. But since there are only about 300 seats in the citywide programs, students who don't score in the top percentile have little chance of getting in.
Apply to kindergarten by Wednesday, Feb. 18
Tomorrow, Feb. 18, is the last day for parents of children born in 2010 to apply to kindergarten for September 2015.
You may apply online, on the telephone or in person at a Department of Education Family Welcome Center (formerly known as an enrollment office). You'll find out in April where your child has been assigned.
Unlike pre-kindergarten for 4-year-olds, full-day kindergarten is guaranteed—and required—for all children who turn 5 during the calendar year. Children have the right to attend their zoned school (space permitting) and most do, but you may apply to other schools as well. The application allows parents to apply to up to 12 schools and submit the form online. Welcome news for parents who don't speak English: This year applications are available in nine languages and translators are on-hand for those who apply in person, or by calling 718-935-2009 between 8 am and 6 pm.
This year's elementary school directories are also better organized than previous years', neatly broken down by districts, zoned schools and unzoned schools. (Charter schools are listed in the back. Charters require a separate application and have a different due date: April 1, 2015).
Here are answers to some common questions.
What should I do before I apply?
If you haven't already done so, visit the school! You want to see the school to see if it's a good fit. Watch our short video: "What to look for on a school tour." Check a school's website or call the parent coordinator to see when tours and open houses are scheduled. The DOE lists some tour dates here. Read the school's profile on Insideschools and check out InsideStats. Do teachers recommend the school to parents? What's the average class size? Is bullying a problem?
How many schools should I apply to?
Apply to as many schools as you are interested in. There's no strategic advantage in listing just one school. The key is to rank the schools in the order that you like them. Do not list any schools you are wary about. If you want your child to attend your zoned school, list that first—or just list the zoned school. If you are concerned about overcrowding and being sent to another school, list your next favorite school to ensure that you are not assigned to a school you did not select. Keep in mind that all schools first accommodate their own zoned kids before accepting others. (The eight admissions priorities for zoned schools are spelled out in the directories and in the Chancellor's Regulation 101.
Most schools are able to accept all zoned students and if you are not accepted in the first round, you are automatically placed on a waitlist. In fact, if you list other schools, and do not get an offer from any of them, you will remain on a waitlist of schools you ranked higher than the school where you were placed. Last year some waitlisted families got offers from out-of-zone and out-of-district schools starting in June and continuing into October. If you do your research, remain persistent and are willing to wait, you may end up with several choices.
What if I don't like my zoned school?
Consider unzoned and charter schools as well as other zoned schools in your district. (Three districts have no zoned schools: District 1 on the Lower East Side, District 7 in the South Bronx and District 23 in Brownsville.)
You don't have to apply to your zoned school but keep in mind that if you are not accepted by any other school, you will most likely be assigned to your zoned school. However you will be waitlisted at the other schools and there is usually lots of movement in the spring as families accept offers to gifted programs, private schools or move. Keep in touch with schools you are interested in to make sure they know you still want a spot.
You can see in the school listings which schools had space for students outside of the zone last year and which had a waitlist after the first round of admissions; it's not likely to be much different this year.
A handful of new schools, both zoned and unzoned, are opening in the Bronx, Queens. Don't overlook those. If you like the leadership, you may want to become part of the school's first class. A new school frequently has openings beyond the school zone.
How do I apply to a dual language program?
More than 100 schools offer dual language programs, where students receive instruction in both English and another language. This year the city changed its kindergarten application process and you no longer apply directly to a dual language program using a separate code on the application. Instead, you apply only to the general ed program of that school, indicating your child's native language and your preference for dual language when prompted on the application. When accepted by the school, your child will be called in for an interview to determine her language proficiency. In April schools will conduct language assessments before making final placement decisions. The goal for dual language is for half of the students to be native speakers of another language, so while zoned students receive preference in admission, out of zone students who are native speakers of another language may have a chance of admittance, space permitting. The catch is, you won't find out until late in the process whether you've got a dual language seat. Make sure you stay in contact with the school to let them know of your continuing interest. See our post "What's new with dual language" for more information.
What about gifted and talented programs?
The admissions timeline, and the application, for gifted and talented programs is different than general kindergarten admissions. Families signed up in November for G&T testing in January and February. The results of the tests will not be sent to families until early April. Qualifying students then apply to programs and will find out in late May if they have got a spot.
Regardless of whether you are applying to a G&T program for your child, you must still apply to kindergarten between Jan. 7 and Feb. 18. If your child is later accepted to a G&T program you'll have a choice of the school you were matched with on the application and the G&T program.
What if my child has special education needs?
Children with special needs also go through the general application process; every school is supposed to offer needed special education services, although in practice this doesn't always happen. Watch our video: "Touring schools for your special needs child." If your child needs a wheelchair accessible site, you can note that on the application.
What if I move after the application due date or I miss the deadline?
If you move after you submit your application but before kindergarten offers are made, you may call the Department of Education, or visit a welcome center, to give them your new address. You will not be able to submit a new application at that time but the DOE will most likely assign you to your new zoned school. If you don't like that placement, you can reach out to other schools in the late spring to ask to be placed on a waiting list.
If you miss the deadline for applying, late applications will be accepted online, over the phone, and in person for several weeks after Feb. 18, but families who apply late will receive an offer later in the spring. Those who wait until later in the spring or summer to apply, will go directly to their zoned school, or school of interest, to register.
More questions?
The information in the directory is pretty comprehensive and straightforward but if you still have questions, or want to talk to a DOE official in person, call the DOE's enrollment office at 718-935-2009 and see the DOE's kindergarten page for more information.
What's new with dual language?
Are you interested in your child learning a new language or solidifying his French or Spanish, or maybe Japanese? The city just added 40 new or expanded programs to its roster of more than 100 dual language programs and changed how incoming kindergartners apply. Here's what you need to know.
Because the majority of the city's dual language programs begin in kindergarten, if you've got a child born in 2010, you need to apply now. Applications for September 2015 are due on Feb. 13 and are submitted online, in person at a Department of Education office or over the phone.
It's important to understand that while dual language programs help English speakers become literate in a second language, they were designed as one of several options for children who are English language learners (ELLs). In dual language classrooms, half of the instruction is in English and the other half is in the target language such as Spanish, French, Chinese, Haitian Creole and a handful of other languages.
Common Core leads to uncommon jargon in kindergarten
At the teacher's prompting, a kindergartner at PS 251 in Queens tries to define "text evidence" for the rest of the class. "Test ed-i-dence," says the 5-year-old, tripping over the unfamiliar words, "is something when you say the word and show the picture."
"Text evidence"? What's with this incomprehensible jargon in kindergarten?
This fall, I visited over a dozen elementary schools and saw firsthand how hard teachers are working to meet the new Common Core standards for reading. I also saw precious time wasted, as teachers seemed to confuse harder standards with puzzling language.
Child born in 2010? Here's how to apply to kindergarten
If you have a child born in 2010, now is the time to be thinking about kindergarten: Applications are due between Jan. 7 and Feb. 13. You may apply online, on the telephone or in person at a Department of Education Family Welcome Center (formerly known as an enrollment office). You'll find out in April where your child has been assigned.
Unlike pre-kindergarten for 4-year-olds, full-day kindergarten is guaranteed—and required—for all children who turn 5 during the calendar year. Children have the right to attend their zoned school (space permitting) and most do, but you may apply to other schools as well. The Kindergarten Connect application, in its second year, allows parents to apply to up to 12 schools and submit the form online. Welcome news for parents who don't speak English: This year applications are available in nine languages and translators are on-hand for those who apply in person, or by calling 718-935-2009 between 8 am and 6 pm.
This year's elementary school directories are also better organized than previous years', neatly broken down by districts, zoned schools and unzoned schools. (Charter schools are listed in the back. They require a separate application and have a different due date: April 1, 2015).
Here are answers to some common questions.
A push to serve gifted kids in the Bronx; G&T deadline extended to Nov. 12
All pre-kindergarten through 2nd-graders are eligible to be tested for the city's gifted and talented programs—but the overwhelming number of test applicants come from Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. Bronx children are tested at the lowest rate in the city, and some say it's because efforts to reach them are lacking.
"Information is not being disseminated widely," said Bronx parent Jonathan Ettrick, whose two children attended citywide G&T schools in Manhattan.
The tests are free but parents must fill out a short form called a Request For Testing (RFT). Families may submit online or at an enrollment office. The deadline to sign up for G&T testing for the 2015-2016 school year is midnight, Nov. 7th is Wednesday, Nov. 12. The Department of Education announced on Nov. 6 that it had extended the deadline from Nov. 7.
It's time to sign up for G&T testing. Our advice: Don't stress it
Ahh, it's that time of year again. The pumpkins are out, and sunscreen and sandals have given way to light jackets and boots. There's no denying it: gifted and talented testing is upon us.
Two years ago, I documented my elder son's attempt to penetrate the exciting, if somewhat notorious world of gifted and talented testing in New York City. Several Pearson debacles and rejection letters later, our son ended up happy and thriving at a wonderful neighborhood school. And although the G&T testing experience taught me a great deal and yielded a few laughs, I secretly vowed then that unless my youngest son was clearly a savant—say, reciting Chaucer and analyzing Bayesian statistics—I'd spare him the hours seated with strangers asking him weird questions.
My husband disagrees. In his opinion, "Delta Force"—my sweet little powerhouse of a 4-year-old—gets the shaft in everything. He wears his brother's old shoes and gets less attention, so how dare we deny him this opportunity. "And besides," he explained, "I want to know how smart he is."
It's elementary: School times are a-changin'
When I first found out in June that my son's elementary school would be ending 30 minutes earlier this year and I would have to pick up two children at the same time, ten blocks apart, my first thought, of course, was, "Yes! Now I can harness those superpowers of time travel I always knew I possessed!" Actually, just one word came into my head, and it's unprintable here.
Apparently I'm not alone. According to The Daily News, about 450 schools will be changing their start and end times this year in order to comply with the new UFT contract. In a nutshell, the contract does two things as far as the school day is concerned: First, it elmininates 37.5 minutes each day that teachers were previously devoting to small-group work and tutoring for students who were behind. Second, it reapportions that time for professional development, parent communication, preparing lessons and all the other behind-the-scenes work that teachers must complete but never have time for.
Long kindergarten waitlists persist at 5 schools
Five elementary schools have waitlists of more than 50 zoned children after the first round of kindergarten admissions and a few schools have more than doubled their waitlists from this time last year, according to a list issued by the Department of Education today. Although the number of schools that cannot accommodate all their zoned students has shrunk nearly in half since 2012 -- from 125 in 2012 to 63 this year -- overcrowding persists in some neighborhoods.
Once again, Pioneer Academy, PS 307 in Corona, Queens has the longest waitlist in the city, with 126 waitlisted zoned five-year-olds, as compared to 167 last year and 109 in 2012. PS 307, where nearly one-third of the students are new immigrants, was opened in 2008 to alleviate overcrowding in District 24.
On Manhattan's Upper West Side PS 199 has about 100 zoned students on its waitlist, up from 39 last year. PS/IS 276, one of a bevy of new downtown Manhattan schools opened over the past 10 years, has a waitlist of 52 students.
In the Bronx, gigantic PS/IS 71 has 50 kindergartners waitlisted; high-performing PS 7 in Marble Hill has 59 students on the waitlist.
G&T: Fewer qualify; rich-poor gap persists
Nearly one-third of the 14,600 rising kindergartners who sat for Gifted & Talented assessments in January and February found out today that they qualified for one of the city's district or citywide G&T programs. That's about six percent fewer than qualified in 2013, according to Department of Education data released Friday afternoon. The number of children who scored in the 99th percentile--the score usually necessary for a chance at entry into one of the five coveted citywide G&T--programs also fell, from more than 1,450 last year to about 950 this year.
Even with the lower number of qualifiers, there are still three times as many top-scoring tykes than there are seats in the five most selective citywide programs which have only about 300 seats for incoming kindergartners. Further decreasing the odds of entry, qualifying siblings of current students get first dibs at those seats.
The gap in student performance between richest and poorest districts remains wide but there were gains in Harlem and Washington Heights. In Districts 4 (East Harlem), 5 (Harlem) and 6 (Washington Heights and Inwood) nearly twice as many students scored in the top percentile than did last year.
Parents were notified of their child's score today along with an application listing their progam options. Families who do not get their results by Monday, April 7, should call the DOE at 718-935-2009. Families have until April 21 to apply one of the gifted programs, but since schools are closed for spring vacation from April 14-22, parents have only next week to visit schools. A list of open houses is posted on the DOE's website here. Letters of acceptance for regular, non-gifted, kindergarten programs will be sent during the spring break. G&T applicants won't find out until May 26 if they have been offered a spot.

Orthodox New Yorker On Hunger Strike After Months In Bolivian Prison
Supporters say he's an innocent man caught up in the tentacles of a corrupt Latin American regime.
Authorities in Bolivia allege he's a shady businessman with ties to drug dealers and money launderers.
What's certain is that Jacob Ostreicher, a 53-year-old chassidic Jew from New York, is in a state of limbo, sitting in a jail in the Bolivian city of Santa Cruz waiting to be tried or released on bail.
Five weeks ago, in a bid to pressure authorities to expedite the handling of his case, Ostreicher began a hunger strike following 10 months of appeals to the U.S. State Department.
Ostreicher, a father of five from the Boro Park section of Brooklyn, belonged to a group of investors led by Andre Zolty of the Swiss firm Lexinter that sunk $25 million into growing rice in lush eastern Bolivia. He was arrested last June by Bolivian police. During his arraignment, the judge alleged that Ostreicher did business with "people wanted in their countries because of links with drug trafficking and money laundering."
The judge also determined Ostreicher should not be allowed to post bail because "being free, the accused could destroy [or] change evidence that could lead the attorney general to discover the truth."
Since then Ostreicher, who maintains his innocence, has been waiting. He has cycled through multiple court hearings, three judges, three prosecutors and four defense attorneys. One judge released him from jail in September, only to retract the order and send him back less than a week later. As of now the case is without a judge.
While the case has dragged on, some of the 40 million pounds of rice harvested from Ostreicher's fields and later seized by the Bolivian government have begun to disappear.
The head of the Bolivian agency in charge of seized property, Moises Aguilera, told The Associated Press in December that the rice had to be sold because otherwise it would spoil. But Ostreicher's partners accuse the Bolivian government of trying to profit from the confiscated rice.
Bolivian authorities have declined to discuss the details of the case publicly.
Ostreicher's saga began when he joined Zolty's partnership in June 2008 and traveled to Bolivia to see the rice business firsthand. Over the course of several trips from 2008 to 2010, Ostreicher says he was never able to inspect the books of the Bolivian rice fields because the manager, Claudia Liliana Rodriguez Espitia, was never around.
Eventually, Ostreicher said, he came to believe Rodriguez was stealing millions of dollars from the investors. He convinced Zolty to fire Rodriguez, and Ostreicher took over the business.
When Rodriguez disappeared soon after leaving the venture, Ostreicher took out a full-page ad in a major local newspaper offering a $25,000 reward to whoever could find her.
While police investigated Rodriguez for corruption, they discovered she had purchased a portion of the rice fields from the brother of her drug dealer boyfriend, Maximiliano Dorado.
Bolivian federal prosecutors began to question Ostreicher in March 2011. He continued to travel back and forth to the United States, and approached the U.S. Embassy in Bolivia; Ostreicher says U.S. officials told him not to worry.
"The embassy told me I should be honest with the investigation. That's what I did," Ostreicher said. "I wish the U.S. Embassy had told me to get the hell out of the country."
An embassy official said he could not comment on private conversations.
On the eve of Shavuot last year, when Ostreicher was scheduled to fly home to New York, prosecutors called him in for another round of questioning. Anxious to get home for the holiday, Ostreicher asked if he could come to their office to finish the deposition as soon as possible. He arrived on June 3, responded to questions and thanked the prosecutor for adjusting his schedule.
Moments later, Ostreicher was arrested. The grandfather of 11 says he was shoved into a cell with no toilet or shower.
The next day at his arraignment, the judge charged Ostreicher with being "the representative of Andre Zolty" and having "commercial relations with Maximiliano Dorado, both people wanted in their countries because of links with drug trafficking and money laundering … proving the circle between Andre Zolty, Maxi Dorado … and Claudia Liliana Rodríguez Espitia."
Ostreicher says he has given the court documentation proving the legal origin of his business's funds and submitted proof from Interpol that Zolty has never run afoul of the law.
Bolivian authorities apparently were not convinced. In March, one federal prosecutor told AP that the case was still in its "preparatory phase."
Ostreicher's wife says State Department officials have told the family only that they are monitoring the situation and have raised the case with the Bolivian foreign minister.
By launching his hunger strike, in which he drinks only water, Ostreicher is trying to turn the case into a humanitarian issue. The family has not tried to enlist Jewish organizations to lobby on Ostreicher's behalf because they want it to be a diplomatic, not a parochial, issue.

My husband and I shared the cold appetizer platter for our dinner, which was delicious and filled us up too much for an entree. We plan to go back soon to try more of the offerings.
Went last weekend with a friend for dinner. Loved the cold appetizer plate. My friend had the doner and I had the lamp chops. Both very good. Had the kunega dessert. It was so good! I would go back just for dessert! And I love Turkish coffee. Our waiter, Alfonso, was perfect! Attentive, but not overly so. Would go back.
Foods are delicious,taste,traditional
Like home made in Turkey
Lovely staff,kind and helpfull
Nice decoration,elegant
My husband, my daughter and I all love this restaurant. We are lovers of Mediterranean cuisine and flavors, and this is great Turkish food.
We like the staples, the doner kebab and the falafel, but we like some of the other dishes better. Our collective favorite if the beef liver appetizer - it is so well flavored, it's amazing! And...
Visited this restaurant for lunch while in town and all I can is wow! My husband is Turkish and I wanted to surprise him some authentic Turkish food while visiting south Florida and found this gem of a place. Everything from the decor, quality, presentation and service was top notch! We had the pleasure of meeting the owner and he...
This delightful Mediterranean restaurant situated in Harrison street in Hollywood, fl will not disappoint you: smooth and creamy hummus, grilled branzino ( sea bass ), babagannoush , adana kebab (minced lamb breast), shish kebabs and other well prepared and full of flavor dishes. Service was prompt and friendly. Had a good conversation with the server about the "Turkish coffee", which...
Me and my husband had a donner kebap and a salad and ordered stuffed mushrooms. The restaurant was empty. Two people left there, one was sleeping on the table... Good. They brought us under the name of kebap 8-9 pieces of fries which were perhaps rewarmed for the 5ft time, and some old meat, the origine? You couldn' t tell....
We enjoyed the food including a cold mezze and a meat platter with an assortment of meat, salad, rice, and bread. It was all very tasty. The restaurant is busy and many customers look like they have experience with this type of food so we think it must be authentic. It is a nice atmosphere.
Went here before and I had to go back but now I question myself. Service horrible we ordered hummus and got some thing lumpy I question the waiter he said he was unsure it was creamy yesterday. I really question if I will go back.
We got the lamb chops! The chef prepare the lamb chops so well, plus the presentation is awesome! The appetizers are great! The Flat Breads really good. Everything we got was so delicious! We will go there for any occasions. We ate there 10 times in 3 weeks!

I have a headache. I get lots of headaches. Lots of people get lots of headaches I suppose, but mine are worse. (Well I don't know that for sure but they really feel like that to me.) If they were migraines I could get a prescription, but no, they are just plain old nagging noggin needles.
Over the last 25 years, I have tried just about everything to get rid of the headaches, but only one thing ever worked consistently for me: Excedrin.
I know plenty of folks who get relief from regular aspirin like Bayer, or from Tylenol, or maybe Advil. They are the lucky ones. Because Excedrin is made by Novartis (NYSE:NVS) and for the last 5 months my headaches and I have been out of luck - Excedrin, and all forms of it, was pulled from the shelves in January. Believe it or not, bottles of Excedrin are selling on eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY) for more than $50 bucks per bottle! (I have a bid on Excedrin Extra Strength, but I doubt if I will get it.)
Until this, I never even knew Novartis was the company that owned the company who actually makes Excedrin. (Novartis acquired Bristol-Myers Squibb's (NYSE:BMY) North American over-the-counter portfolio in mid-2005.) At first, it wasn't a big issue because I thought that it was a temporary recall and I could go to my "standby" drug of choice, Bufferin. And guess what? Strike two, folks. Bufferin is also made by Novartis. My remedies are down to ice packs and scotch - and I don't drink.
The Impact On Novartis
When I found out that Novartis was the manufacturer I decided to take a look at the company and to actually see what the heck was going on.
As you can see from this one year chart, Novartis has gone down from $62.50/share roughly to under $54.00/share as of today (5/8/2012).
This last quarter, Novartis missed the street estimates mainly because of looming patent expiration of some of their best-selling prescription drugs, most notably Diovan (valsartan).
In their conference call on April 24th, Novartis touched on the impact of generic competition;
"..... we estimated the total impacts in 2012 for Pharma would be around $2.6 billion in lower sales."
That is not chump change and the figures are running just about dead on.
Also from the call:
"It's clear from this that the third and fourth quarters of this year bears a bigger weight of generics than in the first half, obviously, largely due to U.S. Diovan. Although the patent is lost at the end of the third quarter, there's a supply chain impact that occurs in quarter 3 as inventories start to run down. The Diovan impact will peak in quarters 1 and 2 next year and then quickly decline. So that by the time we get to the second half of next year, the impact of -- the generics will lessen."
Well, there you have it in a nutshell, from my point of view. The wonderful operating margins, the strong pipeline of products, and the sheer size of Novartis itself took a backseat at that point.
Which brings me to Excedrin. What has gone virtually unnoticed by the average consumer, but probably NOT by some savvy analysts out there, Novartis had to close an entire plant in Lincoln, Nebraska due to the issues with many of their over the counter products.
Here is one of the original stories written back in January. In it, it states:
"Novartis AG said it's voluntarily recalling some over-the-counter products in the U.S., including its Excedrin headache pills and NoDoz medication, because they may contain broken or stray tablets from other products.
Novartis has temporarily suspended operations at the Lincoln, Nebraska, plant where the products were made, the company said in a statement today. The recall also affects its Bufferin and Gas-X Prevention brands."
The combination of these and other over the counter drugs equals roughly $120 million in pre tax profits which is roughly 2% of all of Novartis' profits.
It might not seem like a lot, but I recall another incident a few decades ago that impacted Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) when Tylenol was recalled because they found poison in tampered pills. Nothing like that has happened here, but just the "reminder" of what happened back then obviously could impact anyone who remembers that period of time, or JNJ's "landslide of recalls" in 2009. Both those events put Johnson & Johnson on sale also with a cheap share price. Take a moment to read this article showing some similarities.
The power of the brand works in some odd ways at times. Johnson & Johnson had a bigger brand image than Tylenol back then. Whereas to consumers, Excedrin IS the brand and Novartis is secondary, so the consumer driven lingering effects should be minimal, from the company's standpoint.
It remains to be seen if Excedrin will make a comeback.Truth be told there ARE some off-brand alternatives that carry the same ingredients (drug store brands, etc.), as mentioned in this article.
The company has said the Lincoln plant will be back in operation by the end of this year, hopefully, after saying it would sooner as this article details. Meanwhile, some of the company's new products should launch, and the initial impact of the loss of patents might diminish.
Why would anyone want to buy shares of Novartis in 2012? That is the point, folks, the price of shares is on sale! We can save about 15% from a recent high (not an all time high) and pocket a very sweet dividend yield of 4.65% while we wait for the price to rebound.
While this does NOT mean the stock will shoot up in the very near term, it could mean that we are buying a quality company with an outstanding balance sheet and a terrific dividend.
I'm still bummed that I can't buy my old standby, Excedrin. But I can take some solace knowing that if I do decide to buy shares of Novartis, I am getting it "on sale". That, and some really good scotch should do the trick.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

SPRINGFIELD - Gov. Bruce Rauner has offered state lawmakers two options to fix an unprecedented and crippling budget gridlock brought about by a lack of bipartisan cooperation, according to State Sen. Jim Oberweis (R-Sugar Grove).
During his annual Budget Address Feb. 17, the Governor outlined two budget proposals for Fiscal Year 2017 to a joint session of Illinois lawmakers in the House of Representatives.
"The Governor laid it out pretty clearly. We have two options, but we must pick one! We can work together - Senate and House; Republican and Democrat; Chicago, suburban and downstate - and do what is necessary to fix the problems in our state that hamper economic growth and drive businesses and their jobs out of state," Oberweis said. "Or we continue on the same path, but accept the stark reality that spending must be drastically reduced to fit expected revenues. We would then authorize the Governor to cut spending accordingly."
The 25th District Senator said he stands ready to work with the Governor and his fellow lawmakers to make the kind of tough decisions necessary to deal with the cumulative effect of 12 years of tax-and-spend government under the Blagojevich and Quinn administrations.
Fiscal Year 2017 runs from July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017.

Shoddy Body Shop Work
courtesy of Bob, The Auto Answer Man
Hi Bob,
I recently had my Trailblazer repaired after someone decided to do a U-turn into the side of it. There was very little damage to my truck. However, when it returned from the repair shop, I noticed two very small pinholes in the area where they fixed the small dent/scratch. Is this normal or should I take it back? I am concerned that in two or three years, water will get into these holes and it will start to rust.
If the dented area was repaired, there should be no holes. It should be like smooth metal (similar to the remainder of the vehicle). My guess is that there were air bubbles in the paint. Return the vehicle to the body shop and tell them of your dissatisfaction.
Good Luck!
Drive Safely!

Perceptual variation may represent an important aspect of genetic differences in human ingestive behavior (eg why we choose to eat and drink some foods and beverages but not others). This proposal represents a collaborative effort between investigators in chemosensory psychophysics, and molecular and quantitative behavioral genetics to examine how genetic variation in taste and pain receptors in the mouth may alter response to oral irritants that are commonly found in the food supply. Here, we propose a laboratory study to quantify the impact of variation in specific genes on the sensations that arise from capsaicin (the compound responsible for the heat of 'hot'peppers), piperine (the compound responsible for the burn of black pepper) and ethanol. Previously, we found capsaicin and piperine are bitter to some individuals but not others. Now, we ask if genetic variation in bitter taste genes can explain why. Analyses under Specific Aims 1-3 will determine if common polymorphisms (alternative forms of a gene) for the TRPV1 receptor predict differential response to the burning sensations from these irritants. Secondary aims test if certain variants of bitter taste genes can explain differences in the bitterness of these irritants. Important covariates include frequency of spicy food intake, personality factors (novelty seeking, and sensation seeking) and underlying differences in the intensity of oral sensations (supertasting). At the conclusion of this project, we will have produced a body of valuable data addressing the contribution of genetic polymorphisms on the burn and bitterness of oral irritants. Better understanding of the biology behind irritancy and bitterness will inform attempts to develop methods to block or mask these sensations and potentially remove palatability as a barrier to medication compliance. Proposed work may also provide new insight with respect to food choice behavior or causes of oral pathologies that involve burning sensations.
Taste is the main gatekeeper of ingestion: humans generally swallow what they like and reject what they don't, and what is liked may differ with genetics. This research examines whether the burning and bitterness from natural chemicals found in common spices are related to genetic differences in perception. Better understanding of the basic biology behind bitterness and irritancy will help us understand the dietary choices individuals make, and may help us tailor diets that improve health and wellness while remaining enjoyable to eat.

Red Yam Flan
c.1997, M.S. Milliken & S. Feniger, all rights reserved
- 1 recipe caramel sauce
- 1 large yam or sweet potato (about 18 ounces) or 1 cup canned pureed yams or sweet potatoes
- Vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 2 cups Homemade Condensed Milk
- 6 large eggs
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons dark rum
Prepare the caramel and coat a 9-inch round cake pan, reserving the extra caramel sauce in the refrigerator as directed above. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rub the yam with vegetable oil, place on a baking tray and bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, until a knife easily pierces the potato at its thickest part. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then peel and mash with a fork (the mashed potato should measure about 1 cup). Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees. Prepare the caramel and coat a 9-inch round cake pan, reserving the extra sauce in the refrigerator as directed. In a large bowl combine all remaining ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Pass through a strainer, pressing with a spatula, into the caramel coated cake pan. Place the cake in a water bath. Bake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes or until the center just feels firm when pressed. Set aside to cool in the water bath. Remove from the water bath, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours, or overnight. To serve cut in wedges and top with cold caramel sauce.

Festus Auto Worker Claims Fourth Harley-Davidson® Motorcycle
An employee at the DaimlerChrysler assembly plant in Fenton became the fourth Missouri Lottery player to claim a new 2006 Harley-Davidson®Fat Boy® vivid black motorcycle from the "Harley-Davidson®" Scratchers game. William Edward "Ed" Byerley, 42, of Festus said his wife, Donna, bought only one Scratchers ticket on July 7 while buying gasoline at Convenient Food Mart, 1199 Scenic Drive in Herculaneum, the day before they left for a vacation in Florida.
"I didn't want to go on vacation," said Byerley, recalling his feelings after they found out they won a motorcycle. "I tried to get her to go, and I was going to stay home."
Byerley said he and Donna, who works at St. Louis University, think they will keep the motorcycle. He said they used to have one "before we had kids." The Byerleys are the parents of two teenagers.
In addition to the motorcycle, the Lottery will pay the withholding taxes on Byerley's prize package, which is worth more than $25,000. He will also receive $250 cash and a $250 Genuine Harley-Davidson Merchandise in-store credit.
The "Harley-Davidson" game and the promotion officially started May 27. By buying a $5 "Harley Davidson" Scratchers ticket, Lottery players have a chance to instantly win up to $100,000 in cash or one of 10 2006 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy vivid black motorcycles plus $250 cash and a $250 Genuine Harley-Davidson Merchandise in-store credit.
Non-winning "Harley-Davidson" tickets can also be entered into two remaining drawings in the "Ticket to Ride" promotion for a chance to win a grand-prize 2006 Ford Harley-Davidson™ F-150 truck and $500, one of two Fat Boy motorcycles, or one of 600 Harley-Davidson prize packages. The drawings will be held Aug. 2 and Oct. 4. All entries received during the promotion will be eligible for the grand-prize truck during the final drawing on Oct. 4.
An entry into the promotion consists of one $5 "Harley-Davidson" Scratchers ticket. Players can enter the drawings in three ways: on-line at molottery.com; by depositing entries at a Missouri Lottery office; or by mailing them to:

Aus dem geist der geisterkranken
A shameless plug, but you could always consider these:
I would suggest a good amp to plug them into. My original audio setup was a Cowon J3 (still have it), running to a Schiit Lyr, to the LCD-3s.
Just a suggestion...
-HK sends
Some good choices are the ATH M50, HD25-1 II, DT1350
The PX100II would be a good choice. Forget about the Portapro. If you are okay with something closed, consider the JVC HA-S650. Imo it sounds better than the PX100. The HA-S650 has a very warm sound and nice detail. While it is closed, it doesn't isolate so well due to its small size. It is very comfortable.
The PX100 is ok but not very comfortable for extended listening.
Have you considered the HD238/9 ?
I don't know if anyone likes it here, its a bit bright for me, so I use EQ to make it kinda warm. But in general, for metal it can be good I think. Just my opinion, there might be better options.
But its very comfortable, I can use it for long periods without any discomfort.
You can also take a look at the HD 25 II or the Amperior, but they're in higher price range.
I suggest the GRADO SR225 ,which is full of passion ,and not difficult to drive.
Is this thread just to brag how many devices you own that you can browse the web from?

Publisher's Description
Use this four-session course to focus on Christ this Christmas. We can learn from Zechariah and Elizabeth how to prepare our hearts to receive all that God has for us. Mary teaches us about the true meaning of Christmas. We learn how to prioritize our Christmas from the shepherds. And Simeon and Anna teach us how to respond to the best gift of all time.
Session One
Be Prepared
Are you ready to receive what God is offering this Christmas?
Luke 1:1 25
We need real time and space markers that remind us of the great events that define our faith. But if our Christmas is to be spiritually successful, we re going to have to fight for it. And the way to do that is through preparation.
Session Two
The True Spirit of Christmas
Are you where God wants you to be this holiday season?
Luke 1:26 56
The true spirit of Christmas is not the spirit of family bonding or even the spirit of rejoicing. All of those things are well and good, but Mary teaches us that the true spirit of Christmas is a spirit of humility.
Session Three
A Christmas To-Do List
What s at the top of your list this season?
Luke 1:57 2:21
If we look hard enough, we might find a whole new piece of the Nativity scene that s been in the closet for years never unwrapped.
Session Four
The Bad (or Good) News About Jesus
Jesus birth was the best thing that could happen to you or the worst.
Luke 2:22 38
The day after Christmas can be disappointing. Perhaps Mary and Joseph felt similarly after Jesus birth. In the days to come they had to face the bad news with the good.

Low Drag coefficient! :(
Hi all!
I am trying to do find the Drag on a small underwater marine vehicle. Its .8 m in Length and comprises of two bodies: One ellipsoid on top, and a cylinder below it.
The total area is .8 sq-m and the speed at which this vehicle is supposed to travel is 0.4 m/s. Now when I solve for this vehicle using the K-epsilon realizable model for the X component of force on the vehicle, I get really low values for the force and the drag coefficient( 4.4 N and Total coefficient(pressure + viscous) as given by FLUENT is .0054).Could you please help me out with what am I doing wrong?
Also, when I had a look at the center of pressure of the object, the solver showed me a value which was like REALLY far away from the vehicle. Would you please please please help me out with this?
Thanks a lot.
Anyone? Please :|
Never mind the center of pressure problem. I got what was wrong there. But can anyone please help me out with the drag coefficient? What could I be doing wrong? Should I increase the roughness height on the hull? (Its already quite high.. 0.8 mm) Please! Any advice would be more than welcome.
Thank you.
I tried increasing the roughness height, decreasing the roughness height, but the forces dont change by much. Please please help me out. What am I doing wrong? The solution converges everytime, but the forces are not different at all. With a roughness height .0005 mm, the Cd was .067 and with roughness height .005, it remained almost the same!! Please please help me out. :( What am I doing wrong over here?
just to avoid unnecessary discussion, you know that force and moment coefficients use the reference values in the report/reference panel when evaluated? They should be consistent with your actual physical problem.
Hey Max,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, the reference values are in accordance with the problem.
Is there anything else that I can look into? The forces the solver reports after convergence, the viscous part in them is VERY low. Only about .5-.7 Newtons. This can not be right. Is there anything else that I should check?
Thanks a lot in advance.
On second thoughts, as the vehicle is totally gonna be submerged totally in water, and its gonna travel at a low velocity, around 0.5 m/s, so that is like a Re of 3*10^5. So shouldnt the drag coefficient be low? As it will only comprise of the viscous part? And by the ITTC line(can I use it?), the drag coefficient comes out to be of this order approximately. Please please correct me if I'm wrong.. Is a drag coefficient of .02 for a body (an ellipsoid and a cylinder) travelling at 0.5 m/s totally submerged in water, OK?
Please please help me out. Someone..also, this is the link to the velocity profile which I get for the vehicle after the solution has converged.
As you can see, the wake region is very long..is this normal? And also, do you think I should use a longer flow domain? Could that be causing the problem?
some thoughts to ponder...
drag on an axial cylinder is Cd ~1 for wide range of Re (check Hoerner's book on drag, or White, Introduction to Fluid Dynamics). Elipsoid can be low ~ 0.2, but you are getting unrealistic values. I would not expect your contraption to have a very low drag value.
As mentioned by coglioni, are you sure you understand how to get from the force to the coefficient and vice versa. perhaps show your equations.
It looks as if you are running a 2D case, this would (in my opinion) be a VERY BAD idea for the geometry shown in the Picassa picture. You need a 3D simulation. What is your cell count?
Start with a cylinder (2D) or sphere (3D) where there are numerous benchmarks and see how your answers compare. This might help you to gain confidence with your case.
Your simulation domain is too small. I would suggest at least 3-5 times your characteristic length L (e.g. height of vehicle) upstream and 10-15 diameters downstream. Upper and lower boundaries should also be more than one L removed from object (unless this geometry represents a physical situation). Again, running with a known configuration (e.g.sphere or cylinder) will help to test sensitivity of answers to the extents of the domain.
I lack the time and motivation to expound on the near wall meshing and turbulence modeling. Bluff drag is one of the places where CFD tend to fall over very easily because it appears as if it should be a simple problem...
May convergence be with you.
Hi Mystic,
Thanks for taking out time to reply to my post. :)
I dont think I can increase the domain size, because as it is, I have 2.1 Million cells and when I go up from this number, FLUENT starts giving me "malloc" faults. And btw, I am running a 3D case on the vehicle. And I think that I'll do this drag simulation for a sphere, as you suggested, because that might help me find out whats wrong.
But I think you should have a look at this thing.
Autosub: An autonomous unmannedsubmersible for ocean data collection
Search for this paper on IEEE. OR I can send it to you if you dont have access. I was going over this paper yesterday, and its given in the paper that AutoSub is a 7 m long AUV, 0.9 m in Diameter, a velocity of 2m/s and its mentioned in the paper that the thruster, 5 bladed, is "able to provide the required 130 Newtons thrust." Dont you think that the Cd for this is pretty low too? Please help me out.. I'm so confused. I know this is an unrealistic value, but what about the AutoSub paper?
Thanks in advance. Will wait for your replies..
Hey Mystic,
I tried modeling the Sphere like you suggested me to. I looked up on the forum and came across this thread.
So I thought why not model the same problem: For an inch diameter sphere,in airflow at 60m/s, I got a drag force of 0.1 N when it should have been .46 N. :(( what did I do wrong? Why the low drag coefficient?
BTW, did you have a look at that AutoSub paper? I did, just to be sure. And tit says that the thrust required by that 7 m long AUV,0.9 m in diameter, while traveling at 2 m/s is 130 N. That means the Cd is pretty low for this vehicle too, right?
Thanks in advance.
You might have to trust your answer as being correct. I had a look at this page:
(don't have textbook at hand for the moment).
they list many drag coefficients, and all aeroplane bodies are in the range that you first reported, i.e. Cd = 0.02 - 0.1, so a minisub should be there ot thereabouts.
The 2million cell limit means you are running 32 bit, i would really urge you to try and get onto a 64 bit platform which would allow for a larger mesh to test sensitivity.
hope my previous post did not lead you too far down the wrong avenue.
Are you freaking kidding me? Thank you for your replies. I love it when people actually try and help others over here :) And yes, I think you are right. The answer, it maybe right. And in the lab I'm in, they dont have 64 bit platforms so theres no way I can have more than 2 million cells right now. I have to run the whole thing on my computer and it almost kills it. :|
Any suggestions for the flow around a sphere? I am getting 1/5 th of the answer I should get.
Thanks again. :)
did you include roughness on your sphere model?
according to my "very reliable" wiki page, for a smooth sphere we have:
Cd = 0.1
this equates to F = 0.11N if I use V=60m/s; d = 25.4mm; rho = 1.225 kg/m3; mu = 1.8e-5 Pa.s.
values of Cd = 0.4(5) for rough spheres... would give you higher force in line with what you seem to be expecting.
you might be right again :cool: - i found that SST-kw and reliazible ke gave quite accurate drag results for bluff body work that i did in the past.
Aah..yes. About that, what range do these values(roughness height, roughness constant) lie in? I mean how do enter the value of the roughness height? Is there any page on the internet which gives the values of these for different materials?
Thanks. :)

The sheer size will boggle the mind, stretching 2km around the centre of the town with a thickness of 4m and a height of up to 12m. Five of the original gates and 46 interval towers are still intact. Take a walk along the special walkways on top of the walls and look down into the city. If you are fit, take one of the double staircases that provide access to the top of the towers. Stop in at the Catedral de Lugo, then relax at the Pastelería Don León, which serves fresh bread and sweet or savoury treats throughout the day.
