Diazepam For Sale, Today was not one of my best efforts at being human. But when you understand the desperate circumstances into which I was thrust, I'm sure you'll agree that I had no choice. I had to make that fat bitch pay.
See, Prescription drugs diazepam, when you're unemployed, you tend to sleep in. Late. Until the afternoon sun is beating in so powerfully, its rays penetrating the cracks in the soiled towels you use as curtains, that that first pull of Wild Turkey sitting on your nightstand is bound to be treacherously warm, Diazepam For Sale. So that's one problem with sleeping in that late, and the only other one I can think of is that by the time you make a D+ attempt to clean your body and pull on your sweat pants, you've only got about an hour before the Chinese lunch buffet ends, feline diazepam. And today, as you'll see, that became a problem of blue whale shit sized proportions, mess and stink. No prescription generic diazepam, (Note: I have no idea if blue whales make poos as big and hard to manage as the situation I'm about to describe. Being the largest creatures on earth, you'd think yes, those ass droppings must be fucking gargantuan. Diazepam For Sale, On the other hand, blue whales eat plankton, one of the tiniest creatures on earth, so I'm not exactly sure how it all pans out. Do they just shit a hot, more or less never ending, diazepam solution, stream of brown plankton diarrhea, or do all those plankton get gummed up in the bowel of the whale and come out what I must imagine to be a terrifyingly cavernous anus, proportionate to the rest of the sea monster's body, as VW bug sized turds. Forum for diazepam online, And are they floaters. Do oil tankers run the risk of hitting them and sustaining damage to the hull and by extension the marine environment. Or are blue whales like goldfish, with those strings of poo dangling from their asses, only on a scale more like the metal braids that hold up The Golden Gate Bridge. Or maybe because many types of plankton are encased in a chitinous shell, it's like corn, and you can see them all, undigested, in the behemothic turds, Diazepam For Sale. But I guess that latter thought is just silly, diazepam for insomnia. All I know is watching a blue whale shitting must be a life-changing event, much like that which happened to me today. So let's get back to it.)
At just after 2pm, I hopped into the Cadillac and started driving recklessly towards the Chinese buffet. Diazepam reputable sales of, If I had had one of those flashing light siren thingies Kojak used stick on the top of his Buick Century when a case came through over the CB, I would have mounted it. Diazepam For Sale, There was no time to lose. See, they shut the buffet down at exactly 3pm, and pretty much stop bringing out fresh steam trays of food not long after two. As in right when I was leaving the house, diazepam blood pressure meds. But I knew from vast past experience that if I could get a plate in my hands by 2:15, I could make four decent trips to the 40-item gut buster and leave a very full, horribly depressed, why-the-fuck-did-I-just-eat-all-that-sesame-chicken, No prescription xanax benzodiazepine alprazolam diazepam, man (but it would make for a great stomach base for happy hour, when any depression would be alleviated).
As I raced towards the restaurant, I'm not sure if I hit that nanny with the stroller when I sort of rolled at a pretty breakneck speed up onto the sidewalk as I turned through that stop sign onto 17th Street, but there was no time to stop and find out. General Tso is a tyrant who waits for no man, Diazepam For Sale.
I pulled into the parking lot of the Chinese buffet at exactly 2:24pm, cheapest diazepam no prescription no membership. I had to work fast. I barged through the door more violently than Long Island residents at a Wal-Mart on Black Friday, and though I didn't trample the tiny hostess who greeted me, I body checked her pretty good as I shot towards the buffet. Urinary diazepam follow, I didn't need a fucking table, I needed a plate. Diazepam For Sale, Eating at a Chinese buffet has been called an art. I agree. As in The Art of War. And as Sun Tzu wrote in the book by that name, "Though we have heard of stupid haste in war, photo of diazepam 2 mg, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays." And I had no time for long delays. I had 34 minutes to get my $6.95 worth, and I was going to win this war.
The first trip is always about the egg rolls, pot stickers, fried wontons and soups, Diazepam For Sale. A massive, Diazepam fast shipping, heaping plate of your standard starters. DO NOT put any salad shit on your plate at a Chinese buffet. Ever. Roughage is not your friend when you're about to put eight pounds of greasy meat in your stomach. Diazepam For Sale, The second and third trips are your entrees. Sesame chicken, General Tso's chicken, diazepam for dizziness, Lo Mein, fried rice, royal pork, moo goo gai pan, Diazepam amphetamines, beef broccoli, sweet and sour pork, all of it. Except fish. Do not eat fish at a Chinese buffet. It was probably caught in a drainage culvert out back, buy cheap diazepam guaranteed.
By this time, if you did it right, you are absolutely sickened, Diazepam For Sale. But you always must leave room for a few of those Chinese donuts, the super greasy wads of dough deep fried in MSG and crusted in sugar. These are essential ends to a hard fought battle. Again, Diazepam radiology, Sun Tzu: "The enlightened leader lays his plans well ahead."
I had timed everything impeccably, and at 2:55pm lumbered over to the buffet for what would be my last time. I grabbed a new plate and headed towards the end of the boundless oriental smorgasbord, slowly passing all of the now empty stream trays. Diazepam For Sale, And that's when I saw her. And oh sweet Jesus, she was absolutely huge, diazepam iv. Maybe 45 years old, weighing in at 10 pounds for every year of her miserable life. Her housedress did nothing to conceal the shelves of fat. I'm not sure how I missed her before. I guess she was sitting on the other side of the buffet, very close to it, in my blind spot, Diazepam For Sale. Compare diazepam rectal intravenous epilepticus, It was a grievous tactical error. Especially because she had cleverly plopped herself at the end of the buffet with the donuts, whereas I so foolishly had sat at the appetizer end. Well played, fatty. Well played, diazepam no prescription canada. Diazepam For Sale, All she had to do was stand up and she was at the donuts, whereas I had to walk the entire length of the 40-item expanse. Sun Tzu: "When the enemy is close at hand and remains quiet, he is relying on the natural strength of his position."
I was close enough to see that there were four Chinese donuts left, and there was no way that at this late hour the restaurant would be replenishing. Four donuts were, Diazepam snort, in my mind, enough for both of us, but clearly this beast didn't see it that way. Our eyes met, her lips curled into a despicable smile, and she placed all four balls of sweet fat bread onto her plate, buy diazepam online without prescription. A used plate. A clear violation of the rules of engagement, not to mention the health codes, Diazepam For Sale.
As she fell back down into her shuddering chair, I moved in. Coming around to her side of the buffet, Diazepam rectal gel for seizures, I was horrified to see how many empty plates sat in front of this woman. She had apparently even used the lazy Susan in the middle of her table to hold several fully heaped plates at once so she wouldn't have to keep getting up to restock her rations. What the fuck. Diazepam For Sale, Was this woman planning on hibernating for the winter. How could anyone possibly eat so much food. She had clearly been here since the buffet opened at 11am. I couldn't believe the proprietors allowed it, passed out from diazepam. Well, those cowards might, but I wouldn't.
"Give me two of your donuts," I said, Diazepam For Sale.
"No, Diazepam shooting up, I need them. And I got there first," she replied.
"Ma'am, if you don't give me half of the donuts, I will go all Somali pirate on your fat ass," I said.
"Bring it on," she cackled as she thrust one of the donuts into her mouth. Diazepam For Sale, And that's when I did it. I kicked that woman so hard in the belly that I swear to Christ it felt like my foot was temporarily caught in quicksand, so deep did it bury into her folds of lard. Yes, the donut flew from her mouth, but that wasn't the half of it. It's what emerged from the other end that was the life-altering event. Let's just say it answered the question of how blue whales shit, because my well-placed kick forced a VW sized piece of feces to creep out of her brown hole onto the floor of the restaurant beneath her, making her look like that elephant from Horton Hatches An Egg.
As she sat dazed on her mound of shit, I calmly took the remaining three Chinese donuts and walked out to my Cadillac, Diazepam For Sale. And I guess that's why I said at the outset that it wasn't one of my best efforts at being human. A good person would have only taken two of the donuts. But as Sun Tzu wrote, "It is a military axiom to take as many pastries as possible, for pastries make a warrior fierce."
Or something like that.

America's Cup: Team NZ 'We made one mistake'
10:57 AM Sunday Sep 15, 2013
Dean Barker describes what went wrong in race eight. That flipping horrible near-flip would have been the end of Team NZ's America's Cup dream. But the boat mercifully came back down. Oracle went on to easily win the race, before Team NZ caught their collective breath and made the start line for Race 9. The challengers were leading and the two boats were neck and neck up the vital third, upwind leg when the wind proved too much and the organisers abandoned the race.

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by TheeTFD, Sep 7, 2008.
I the the world ready for the unleashing of: MEGATRON !?
It's going to be a LOOOOONG season if they keep this up. On the first pass play of the season that the D has faced - against a rookie QB throwing his first pass in the NFL might I add - they D gives up a 60 yard TD pass. I was thinking to myself about 5 seconds before the pass "Why the heck is Travis Fisher starting over Leigh Bodden??????". What a joke.
LMAO 21-0 OH man, I have to listen to Sgt. Slaughter from the postgame podium.
It's getting ugly man. Kitna is yelling at absolutely everyone. Players, coaches, assistants, the water boy. George Foster sucks. He isn't going to get better. He needs to be benched. It's time to see what Gosder can do. Travis Fisher sucks. Bodden needs to be the #1 guy. Period. The tackling sucks. Their angles are horrible. Stan Kwan needs to be fired. On one of the last kickoffs, they had their man pinned down the sideline, yet they still managed to over pursue and allow him to cut back across the middle for a huge gain. That is ABSOLUTELY unacceptable. That has NOTHING to do with talent. USE THE SIDELINE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE!!!!!
SOL... same old lions.
I don`t even think the Lions deserve a game thread........ Please folk, going forward let`s not mention this sorry, embarrasing spectacle of of a pro football team......
detroit has a pro team? i thought they moved out of town when sanders retired.... how have they been doing? I havn't been following them.....
just plain embarrassing
the play that sealed their fate was kitna sliding 0.5 yards short of a 1st down in the 3rd quarter, forcing them to punt, when he easily had the 1st down.
I think it was the coin toss that sealed the Lions' fate.
Michael Turner baby!!
Hondo destroys them: - » Lions Embarrass Themselves and Fans with Terrible Opening Performance
So I take it he's on your fantasy team
I just don't know why people are SURPRISED by the outcome..... History teaches us that the Lions know how to let down their fans.
Well technically, they still have a professional franchise, but the team and management is far from professional.
Commitment to the ground game aye? Falcs rushed for 300 yds. That's what happens when your Dline goes 295 at the tackles. - Hey so that was Fisher checking in with the QB while the receiver ran by. The pass was a stiff piece of rope, that if he just ran between the QB and the WR he could've deflected it. - Hey D59, if you can't stand the pain try vikadin.
Do the Lions even get embarrassed anymore? This is business as usual for these guy's. They blow.
Good point. They have no pride. Gasbag Kitna went off briefly yesterday, but otherwise today is just another Monday to them. Just for a change of pace on Mondays, I wish Bill Clay Sr or Jr would rip some peoples' heads off and poop down their necks. We have pansies for owners.
Coach means well, but he can't coach. I also don't see the talent that it takes to win. I'm afraid we've been had by Ford. Too many coaches without talent or motivational skills. If we can't beat Atlanta, then who can we beat?
Separate names with a comma.

-Going to the Sun Road - Absolutely Nothing Like It
-St Mary Falls and Virginia Falls
-Golden light or eerily yellow light?
-The Pie Master is Revealed to Us.
-Hostel location seems too far away from our needs :(
We slept in a bit this morning, enjoying the comfort of our motel room.
Tried a different place for breakfast, the local golf club. Priced reasonably but the West Glacier Caf� was better - young, friendly faces from across the nation and fresher food.
Going to the Sun Road - Absolutely Nothing Like It.
Finally got onto Going to the Sun Road about nine.
This is 50 miles of cliff hanging road from West Glacier to St Mary.
Very twisty turny with dire consequences if you went off the edge.
Most of the guard rails were ankle low stone walls that many modern vehicles could easily drive over.
The road is restricted to single vehicles (no trailers) no larger than 21' long, 8' wide and 10' tall so the modern mega motor homes must make other arrangements.
Traffic was not nearly as thick as we'd been warned but there was certainly enough of it.
We drove at or below the speed limit and took many opportunities to turn out and admire the views of waterfalls, glaciers, hanging valleys, cirques, horns, ar�tes and other really, really, really spectacular landscapes.
Most of the water features were greatly reduced due to an arid summer.
We skipped stopping at Logan Pass for the Alpine Meadow and Hidden Lake walks. We will be going back go Logan Pass tomorrow for a Ranger guided walk in that area.
The air got noticeably murkier as the day wore on and we crossed the Continental Divide.
St Mary Falls and Virginia Falls
We stopped at the St Mary Falls and Virginia Falls parking area at about noon and walked in to see them.
Roughly four miles round trip.
Even though the park is drier than normal these two falls were delightful.
St. Mary is a high volume drop and pool.
Being closer to the parking area and shuttle stop it was kind of crowded.
We pressed on to what we thought was Virginia Falls.
A series of wide flat cascades, one down to the other. Frank Lloyd Wright could have built a half a dozen houses here.
Other hikers informed us we should keep going up to the true Virginia Falls.
It was worth the walk.
We arrived at the base of a 100 foot straight drop.
Golden light or eerily yellow light?
A cloud of smoke from the nearby fires passed between us and the sun as we walked these falls.
Chere thought the result was a golden glowing light on the landscape.
Too bad the camera batteries were again DOA.
We could not capture the effect in a photo.
Rory remembered the same effect yesterday evening as an eerie one.
All the spray from the falls and the moist, shady valley had kept us cool.
We began to notice the heat as we made it to the parking lot and crossed some sun exposed bare rock areas. It was about 2:30 PM.
We continued on our drive through the park - the last few miles.
Perhaps because it is higher and surrounded by prairie instead of trees, St Mary Lake appeared bigger to us than Lake McDonald.
Maybe we could just see more of it.
The books tell us McDonald is the larger.
The Pie Master is Revealed to Us.
We planned on a late lunch at the St Mary Lodge Snow Goose Restaurant.
It was 03:30 PM and they close from 03:00 to 05:00.
Boy were we lucky.
We drove around the corner and found the Park Caf�.
It was packed so we were prepared to wait with coffee on the porch.
A couple of friendly hot rod enthusiasts offered to share their table with us.
We enjoyed telling each other travel stories and the Cafe food was terrific.
Rich and Annie had recently visited Victoria, BC with three ferry loads of old Fords and were now circulating through the west in 1932 Chevy coupe along with six other cars of the same ilk.
Pies were ordered.
Chere declared the pies and especially the crust the best she has ever had.
The owner, Kathyrn, makes 40 pies every morning.
Chere is debating returning to sit at the feet of the master.
We will at least stop in the next few times we pass.
Hostel location seems too far away from our needs :(
On to East Glacier for our two night stay at Brownies Hostel.
Thirty more miles of very narrow, twisty, drop off hugging MT state roads with cows playing on the roadway.
Brownies Hostel is located in an actual log building.
The bathrooms are updated but the long hallways, uneven flooring, log walls, and badly worn furniture look and smell musty with age.
We have to reverse our path for tomorrow's 09:30 AM Highline Trail hike so we worry we have made a mistake in choosing this location for our sleeping.
East Glacier downtown does not have much going on so we went out to Two Medicine Camp Ground for the views and a ranger talk about subalpine flora and fauna.
The ranger had volunteered/worked for Glacier National Park for about 40 years.
He's seen quite a few changes in the park and the people visiting.
Back to the hostel and showers by 10:30 PM
Tomorrow we will rise at 06:00 and try to be out the door by 06:30.
Our hike is at least an hour and a half drive away and begins at 09:30.
Somewhere in there we want to catch a breakfast - hopefully Park Cafe - and maybe pick up another bottle of water.
The hostel keeper has recommended a seemingly longer but faster route for the return trip.
It crosses prairie so the road will have fewer kinks in it.
We have not decided which path to take as we go to bed.
If there are less cows in the road, the prairie route will be the one to take.

BBRY: Morgan Stanley Cuts FYQ1 View, But BB10 Upside Can Be 'Catalyst' (Update)
As the bears today ponder the prospect of upside for BlackBerry's (BBRY) fiscal Q1 report coming Friday morning, Morgan Stanley's Ehud Gelblum reiterates an Overweight rating and a $22 price target, but projects downside in the report, even though he thinks sales of recently introduced BB10-based smartphones are tracking ahead of his prior expectation.
Gelblum is modeling total revenue of $3.09 billion, below the consensus for $3.38 billion, and EPS of 2 cents, below the Street's average 5-cent estimate, and down from his prior estimate of $3.38 billion and 5 cents.
Gelblum raised his BB10 unit shipment assumption to 3.5 million units from a prior 3 million, writing that the Q10 is "off to a good start."
Gelblum sees "strong global sell-in as checks indicate good uptake of the Q10 among existing BlackBerry fans."
He adds, "Conversely, we believe BB7 units and subs are tailing off more quickly than we had modeled, as low end subs migrate to lower cost Android devices, resulting in another q/q drop in total subscribe count, which oddly enough, may result in a modest ARPU increase q/q as prepaid/low end subs contribute minimally to service revenue."
However, Gelblum cut his BB7 unit shipment estimate to 3 million units from a prior 5.5 million estimate.
Gelblum thinks the better showing from BB10 will be the takeaway, improving sentiment on the stock:
While BB10 expectations appear to be growing into earnings, and bulls and bears alike will most likely be able to find what they are looking for in this quarter's earnings, we expect strong BB10 shipments to slightly outweigh weaker BB7 units and the lack of proof of BB10 sell-through, tilting the risk-reward positive. Therefore, we believe solid execution and in-line results could still be a catalyst for the shares, given sky-high short interest at 36% of float, the highest level in our group by 2x […] We believe the mix-shift of devices away from BB6 and to BB7/BB10, along with the fruits of the company's $1B cost savings plan, should meaningfully drive gross margin and device ASPs – 2 key metrics of smartphone stock success – during 2013, the year of global BB10 sell-in. Already in FQ4, gross margin grew over 800 bps q/q to 40%, a relative level we believe is largely sustainable plus or minus 2-3 points. We believe 2013 is a year of phased global sell-in for BB10, first of the Z10, then the Q10, then followed by enterprise adoption in late summer as testing cycles are complete.
Update:There was another bullish note on BlackBerry yesterday, from Scotia Capital's Gus Papgeorgiou, who has a Sector Outperform rating on the shares and a $22.40 price target on BlackBerry's ordinary shares. Scotia does not distribute reports to press, but fortunately, a copy floated in over the transom this morning.
"Our position is that this will be a catalyst quarter for the stock, as BB 10 devices lead to improved margins and are likely to drive an EPS beat on the bottom line," wrote Papageorgiou.
Papageorgiou is modeling revenue well above consensus, at $4.1 billion, with EPS also much higher, at 72 cents, based on improved gross margin of 44%, way up from 28% a year earlier and 40% in fiscal Q4.
He sees the company having shipped 8.7 million handsets, 3.63 million of them BB10. Handset ASP may have risen to $346 from $262 in the prior quarter, Papageorgiou thinks, helped by a $550 ASP on the BB10 units.
For next quarter, Papageorgiou models 5.5 million units of BB10, helped by the forthcoming lower-priced Q5. He is modeling $5 billion in revenue and $1.28 per share in profit, which would, again, be well above the consensus for fiscal Q2 of $3.34 billion and 11 cents.
Papageorgiou writes that "supply chain feedback has been generally positive suggesting the company has increased its component orders," while demand for the Q10 "seems to be holding in longer" than the Z10, with the Q10 supply-constrained.
Papageorgious thinks the Street is misunderstanding gross margin potential, and he does not believe the company's forecast for a merely break-even quarter:
Where our expectations of the quarter differ substantially from the street are ASPs and device gross margins. Although the company does not release gross margins by line of business, or devices, we are quite comfortable suggesting the BB 10 products have higher ASPs and gross margins than the BB 7 devices. Based on our analysis of the Q4 results we believe BB 10 gross margins were roughly 45%, and ASPs roughly $550. The street expects BB 10 ASPs to come in at around $485 – a 13% difference. In addition, the street expects total gross margins to fall to 38.4% from the previous 40% last quarter. This makes no sense to us. BB 10 volumes are almost certain to increase this quarter as a proportion of sales and, all other things being equal that should lead gross margins higher. Even if we were to use the Street's device volumes we would still get a number of $0.68. We believe the big risk to our numbers is that we assume the BB 7 devices have zero gross margin. If that is untrue and they are meaningfully profitable, then the BB 10 devices would not be as accretive as we believe they are. But we are reasonably comfortable that there is a big difference between BB 7 and BB 10 profitability. The other area that has been causing some unease is the company's transitioning service revenue model. For this quarter we expect service revenue to be down 3% sequentially after being basically flat last quarter. We believe many analysts have kept their EPS numbers consistent with management's guidance of a break-even quarter. However, we just flat out do not believe that guidance. We expect both gross margins and ASPs to be significantly higher on the back of the BB 10 launches and as a result drive decent profitability for the company.

Will More Male Athletes "Come Out" in 2013?

This year, linebacker Brandon Ayanbadejo of the Baltimore Ravens and punter Chris Kluwe of the Minnesota Vikings became unlikely spokespeople for gay rights in America. When college football player Jamie Kuntz was kicked off his team for kissing his boyfriend in the press box they both took to Twitter to offer their support. There's much work to be done in terms of awareness and advocacy for queer rights in sports. Although it is widely acknowledged that there are gay athletes in all four major professional sports leagues (NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL) we are still waiting for an active player to come out.

My two new packages arrive tonight. Yesterday a friend gave me 10 frames of drawn out comb to help me get kick started. A few of the frames had some honey in the corners still.
After putting the frames into my empty hives, I ran inside for an hour, came back out and found some bees robbing honey. No clue where these bees are from. I quickly shut the hives up and totally closed the entrance.
My thoughts are, can I set up an empty hive down a few feet, and put in a bunch of empty frames, and a couple frames with honey on them? If it doesnt lure a swarm, will it keep the pressure off my new hives by giving them easy honey to rob?

Believe It or Not, Flying Is Improving
Passengers who spent Christmas night stranded at the airport as half an inch of snow and ice in Dallas crippled American Airlines flights, or fliers who endured the chaos stemming from United Airlines merging its computer system with Continental's may remember 2012 as a lousy year for airline travel.
In fact, flying domestically was better than in 2011, the numbers show. The Middle Seat's annual airline scorecard of airlines' operational performance, using data from the Department of Transportation and flight-tracking firm FlightStats, shows industrywide improvement in most important measures.
About 79% of flights on all U.S. passenger airlines arrived within 15 minutes of scheduled time, compared with 76% in 2011, according to FlightStats' tracking of more than 8 million flights. Only 1.4% of flights were canceled last year, compared with 2.1% in 2011. Fewer flights had "excessive" delays of 45 minutes or more. And fewer domestic bags were lost or delayed through October, the most recent period reported by the DOT.
On the downside, the frequency of airlines involuntarily bumping ticketed passengers increased, as did the overall rate that travelers filed complaints to the DOT.
Last year was miserable for United and American, though. The two airlines were worst among the seven largest carriers ranked on the scorecard. United had the highest rate of bumped passengers and by far the highest rate of customer complaints, according to DOT data. American had the worst on-time record and canceled the biggest percentage of flights among the seven airlines.
Best among the big carriers: Delta Air Lines , which managed smooth operations even with lots of flights in the congested, sometimes stormy skies of the East Coast. Delta had the lowest rate of flight cancellations, according to FlightStats, a unit of Conducive Technologies. It was in the top three in all six measures of airline operations studied, and that consistency put it ahead of No. 2 Alaska Airlines.
First place capped a two-year turnaround for Delta, which had ranked worst in 2010 when it merged Northwest Airlines' operations with its own, but improved significantly in 2011. Careful study of when and where cancellations are most likely, and adjusting spare aircraft availability to keep flights moving if there is a breakdown helped, as did a rebuilt baggage system at its Atlanta hub to reduce lost luggage. "We had a good 2011 and a great 2012," said David Holtz, Delta's vice president for operations control. "We set goals above 2011 and we exceeded those goals."
The key, said Mr. Holtz, was being predictable for customers on the 30 to 40 bad-weather days each year by making decisions early on cancellations and delays, and then running a clean operation without cancellations and delays on good-weather days. Instead of 10 to 12 annoying cancellations on good days, Delta now averages only about one a day when there aren't storms, for example. "We've taken the defects out of the good-day operations," said Mr. Holtz.
Both United and American found themselves apologizing to customers for their problems during the year.
United Continental Holdings Inc. Chief Executive Jeffrey Smisek apologized for widespread problems when the company moved United's passenger records onto Continental's computer system, and for unreliability in the busy summer season. Amid the computer changeover, some reservations disappeared, gate agents struggled to board flights, phone lines had waits stretching hours. The troubles led to late and canceled flights, lost baggage and angry customers.
In the summer, United had reduced spare-airplane availability and reworked its schedule, and it all backfired with increased delays and cancellations. The airline reversed course, adding back plane availability, allotting more time for flights and crew connections, and starting boarding earlier to build more flexibility into its operations.
Nearly four times as many complaints about United were filed with the DOT in the first 10 months of the year, jumping to 3,617 from 958 in the same period in 2011. United accounted for virtually all of the industrywide increase in complaints.
United spokesman Rahsaan Johnson said the airline started turning things around for the better in the fall, and improvement has continued through the winter. "Our performance was inconsistent but began to show steady improvement in September," he said.
Tom Horton, chief executive of American's parent AMR Corp. , apologized in November for widespread delays and cancellations, and offered double elite miles for frequent fliers to placate passengers. A contract dispute with pilots led to a huge slowdown in September and October, but that was only part of the problem. American's operation, which has ranked at or near the bottom in on-time performance for six consecutive years, continued to struggle. Through the first eight months of the year, American ranked No. 5 in on-time arrivals among the seven biggest carriers. In December, it ranked No. 6.
The Christmas debacle showed how fragile American's reliability was last year. The National Weather Service measured 0.4 of an inch of snow and 1.33 inches of rain at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport on Dec. 25, with some ice as temperatures dropped. Most airlines handled it well. Other carriers had 69% of flights depart on-time and only one cancellation. At nearby Dallas Love Field, Southwest Airlines canceled no flights.
Passenger complaints about United Airlines sent to the Department of Transportation from January through October.
Complaints about Delta Air Lines filed over the same period last year.
But American and its American Eagle unit, which combined have more than 600 scheduled departures at DFW, launched only 11% of flights on-time and canceled a whopping 40%. DFW airport reported 1,000 passengers were stranded overnight in terminals. On a flight to Las Vegas waiting five hours, the captain told passengers, one of whom was on the phone with local TV station WFAA during the announcement, that he had called multiple managers within American trying to get help.
"It's beyond reproach. I have no words to tell you how sorry I am for all this," said the pilot, recorded by WFAA. "This is way above our heads, by people that obviously, in my humble opinion, don't have a clue what they're doing." The flight to Las Vegas was ultimately canceled.
Spokeswoman Andrea Huguely said lengthy delays and cancellations resulted from a combination of equipment problems and a lack of employees, some of whom had a difficult time getting to work in the Christmas storm. Shortages meant American wasn't able to deice fast enough, which led to additional delays, cancellations and, at times, too many aircraft and too few gates, she said.
"Our performance on Christmas Day was not up to our standards, nor what our customers expect and deserve," Ms. Huguely said.
Overall, she noted, American had its best on-time performance in five years in the first half of the year, though it ranked no better than fifth among the largest carriers.
American's potential merger partner, US Airways , ran a much better operation, placing in the top three in several important metrics. But it was next-to-last in customer complaints. Although US Airways turned around its operation several years ago, it has continued to suffer a high rate of angry customers filing gripes about flight problems, fares and refunds to the DOT.
US Airways said complaints have dropped over the past few months, and the airline is trying to get in touch with unhappy customers quickly, spokesman John McDonald said. More workers have been added to respond to customers on Twitter and Facebook.
"We're making it a bit easier to complain to us, rather than simply default to the DOT," Mr. McDonald said.

How to Give
The Edmonds Community College Foundation helps to make higher education more accessible to our community.
You can make a difference"I wish to thank each and every one of you for the $800 that was awarded me to complete my dream of earning a paralegal degree... You will never know how much this means to me and how very grateful I am for it." ~ Elaine T.
Individuals, corporations, foundations and organizations join the Foundation in these worthwhile endeavors by making annual gifts, tributes and memorials, major gifts, in-kind donations and matching gifts, and by establishing and contributing to scholarships.
Through the generosity of private donors, Edmonds Community College Foundation is able to ensure that anyone seeking a quality education will receive one at Edmonds Community College.
Your Gift Will Enrich Lives
Since 1982, the Edmonds Community College Foundation has:
Helped thousands of students by providing more than $1 million in scholarships.
Given hundreds of thousands in grants to enhance and support college programs and to recognize and reward faculty and staff.
Ensured the best possible learning environment through capital improvements such as renovating the college library and building the new Center for Families.
Make a Real Difference: Invest in Education
There are many ways to donate to the Edmonds Community College Foundation. Each offers the opportunity to make a direct and lasting impact on the students of Edmonds Community College. Please call the Foundation at 425.640.1274 to talk about how you can make a difference.
By simply writing a check (or charging a donation to your credit card), you will immediately help fulfill the Foundation's mission. You can choose to make a one-time cash gift or make donations on a monthly, quarterly or any payment schedule. Your credit card can be automatically charged on a regular basis if you wish. Cash gifts are always welcomed and needed. Annual giving keeps the Foundation operating and giving back to the college. Checks may be mailed to:
Edmonds Community College Foundation 20000 68th Ave. W Lynnwood, WA 98036
You can also contribute to any of our already established scholarships, such as: The Walt Bubelis Horticulture Scholarship, the Mary O'Leary Emergency Fund, the Mary Pat Dennis-Andre Scholarship, or the Jack and Elaine Oharah Endowed Scholarship.

There are a variety of ways to make planned gifts to the Foundation that will not deplete lifetime assets, and in some cases, can furnish additional income and significant tax deductions. Ways to include the Foundation in your estate plans include bequests, life insurance, charitable annuities, retirement funds, trusts and real estate.
The Foundation readily accepts stocks or other securities as donations. By contributing a long-term appreciated stock or other security, you are helping secure the educational goals for students, and you may avoid capital gains taxes while taking a charitable deduction.
Gifts to honor an event or an individual are a great way to pay tribute to a person or occasion (such as an anniversary, birthday or new family member). The Foundation informs the honoree or family member of the gift with a note (the gift amount is always confidential), showing that you care not only about them, but also about the future of the community.
Many local corporations, including The Boeing Company, Wells Fargo Bank, and Expedia.com, will match gifts made by employees. This is an easy and effective way to double your donation. Check with your employer for details.

If you like Japanese food but you're sick of sushi, then you'll probably love Ebisu. Named after one of the Seven Gods of Fortune, who brings luck to fishermen and merchants, the place doesn't even serve sushi, as if the offering would be too boringly obvious.
The restaurant is modestly attractive. I remember a noodle shop in California that had dust in the corners, but by and large Japanese restaurants are obliged to be neat as a pin. It's a rule. Ebisu is sleek and simple, wanting to impress us with the food rather than the décor, the uncovered tables and paper napkins keeping prices down. One economical and whimsical touch says it all: a single chrysanthemum on each table, held upright not by pebbles but by silvery Hershey kisses.
They have 13 bottled beers and seven wines by the glass, but don't overlook their dozen-plus sakes. Only one of them is served hot, usually done to mute the harshness of cheap sakes. Premium varieties are always served cold, to better allow the flavors to come through. Premium indeed: a bottle of Divine Droplets Dai Ginjo will set you back 55 bucks. I love pearl sake, which is unfiltered and cloudy; here they serve the Momokawa brand ($6), a generous amount in a cleverly designed glass carafe that keeps the ice from diluting your drink. Mike, who comes here practically every week, had his regular Taru sake ($4.50), which is served traditional-style, a tall glass in a wooden box.
Many of the tables have electric hot pots, for shabu shabu. The term means "swish, swish," and that's just what you do with your choice of meats, vegetables, or seafood. They go into handled baskets rather than on fondue forks, so no worry about losing your goodies to the roiling broth. Selections range from $9.95 for veggies to $16.95 for meats and seafood, with à la carte options.
There are also rice dishes ($7.95-$13.95), from grilled freshwater eel to roasted barbecue pork, and vegetarian dishes with noodles ($7.25-$8.25), such as a Japanese curry and chilled buckwheat noodles with tempura sauce. The eight entrée noodle dishes ($7.95-$12) range from thin ramen egg noodles in miso broth with roasted pork loin to wide udon noodles in fish broth with vegetables, shrimp tempura, and — get this — a poached egg on top.
But Mike and fiancée Elaine like to do a kind of Japanese tapas here, picking from among the many appetizers and robata yaki, charcoal grilled items on skewers.
Although all but drooling as I perused the possibilities, I was nevertheless the model of patience and ordered soup first. The ebi tomyum ($5.50) was very Thai, the chili-red broth tangy with lemongrass and lime to make the mushrooms and shrimp more interesting. The bowl of ebi wonton soup ($5.25) across from me had a pork broth that was deliciously enhanced by many shiitake mushrooms. There are also salads ($3-$5), with dominant ingredients ranging from seaweed to raw fish.
I ended up checking out the seafood yakisoba ($10.95), and its pan-fried yellow noodles were wondrously smoky. But the real feast was the plethora of little dishes we shared: Gyoza ($5), fat pork dumplings pan-seared rather than steamed, unusually flavorful. Two crab croquettes ($7.50) with a chipotle drizzle, brightened with corn kernels.

[Article]-Book Review: A Bug Hunter's Diary
Permanent link: [Article]-Book Review: A Bug Hunter's Diary
Review by Tristan Lawson, CISSP, MCSE: Security, GCIH, OSCP et al
So often as security professionals we hear how bug hunters both black hat and white hat find vulnerabilities and release them to the vendor or use them for monetary gain. We wonder how they actually went about finding these vulnerabilities and what hurdles they had to jump to find them. "A Bug Hunter's Diary: A Guided Tour Through the Wilds of Software Security" by Tobias Klein focuses on helping different levels of security professionals understand the approaches used to uncover vulnerabilities, testing the vulnerabilities found and finally reporting on those vulnerabilities. It is short and to the point and offers nothing but valuable content with little to no fluff content.
The book was written as though Tobias was writing in a journal as he was progressing through his research of a particular application. Each chapter is a separate journal entry focused on a single application into which he dug and eventually found a vulnerability. He then determined if it was exploitable and in turn released it to either the vendor or to a vulnerability broker. This is a fascinating look into the heart of a sector of the security economy not previously exposed to a wider audience.
After the break, look for a link to a free download of Chapter 2: "Back to the 90s"

MIAMI -- Nothing comes easily for this group, and so it was that on the night they reclaimed the best record in the National League, the Giants also sent a key hitter for a concussion test.
First baseman Brandon Belt was hit by a stray throw during batting practice and was pulled early in a 5-3 win Saturday over the Miami Marlins because he had headaches and was feeling nauseous. Belt's injury cast a cloud over a night that was otherwise fully positive for the Giants, who have sole possession of first in the National League West for the first time since July 2.
For a second straight night, the Giants strung rallies together, played clean defense and got a sharp performance from their starter. They have outscored the Marlins 14-4 in two games, making up two games on the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have lost twice in St. Louis. The Giants have won seven of their past 11 games after dropping 18 of their previous 23.
"I think we just all understood that the last six weeks wasn't the team we think we are," said right-hander Tim Hudson, who pitched into the eighth. "We're playing better, we're having better at-bats. Guys are hitting the ball and having quality at-bats even when they're getting out. That's what it takes to win ballgames."
The first quality at-bat Saturday came from Belt, but it would be his only plate appearance. He drove in Pablo Sandoval with a second-inning double and scored on a wild pitch and throwing error but was pulled before the bottom of the third. Manager Bruce Bochy said there was a mistake made during a drill in batting practice, and two infielders threw balls to Belt at the same time.
"He didn't see one," Bochy said. "It hit him square in the face."
Belt was taken to the clubhouse but came back out to take his batting practice swings. When he felt dizziness early in the game, he was pulled and sent for a concussion test. The Giants didn't have the result as they left the clubhouse, but Belt was said to still be dealing with a headache.
Major League Baseball created a seven-day concussion list in 2011 to give clubs more flexibility in situations such as this. Belt has been back just two weeks after missing 50 games with a broken left thumb.
Even though Belt has slumped a bit, his presence lengthened the lineup, bringing back memories of April and May when the Giants seemingly had a different lead contributor every night. Saturday's star was a familiar one; Sandoval had three hits, raising his average to .280 for the first time this season. Sandoval shrugged off any talk of a surge, saying he's just happy the team is winning. The team is happy he's hitting.
"It's very tough, very challenging (when he's on). He's a great bad-ball hitter," Hudson said. "You make a pitch that you feel was good coming out of your hand, and he'll hit line drives. When he's going good, he can carry you."
Sandoval and the Giants got a little help from the Marlins, who also lost a player in the early innings. All-Star right-hander Henderson Alvarez was hit by a Joe Panik screamer in the third inning and exited with a shin contusion. His replacement, hard-throwing right-hander Sam Dyson, created quite the mess.
With the Giants up 2-1, Sandoval hit a leadoff single in the fourth and moved up a base when Tyler Colvin was hit by a pitch. After getting a second out, the Marlins intentionally walked slumping center fielder Gregor Blanco, choosing to face Hudson and his .056 average. Dyson walked Hudson on five pitches.
"I probably wasn't going to take the bat off my shoulder," Hudson said. "I'm glad he walked me."
Hunter Pence followed with a strong at-bat, fouling off a series of upper 90s fastballs before lining one into right to give the Giants a 5-1 lead. That was more than enough for Hudson, who needed just 81 pitches to get one out into the eighth on a night when he gave up back-to-back singles in the first in front of N.L. home run leader Giancarlo Stanton. Hudson got Stanton to hit into a double play.
"Obviously that's not the way you want to start the game," Hudson said. "That double play was heaven-sent, for sure."
Hudson got two more in the next two innings and then cruised. He gave up just one run, lowering his staff-best ERA to 2.78.
The Marlins inched closer in the ninth, with Stanton hitting a monstrous homer for the second straight night. His solo shot Friday got the Marlins back within eight; after his solo homer Saturday off Sergio Romo, the Giants still led by three.
"He's such a good hitter," Bochy said. "He's going to do some damage. You're hoping to limit it."
Thanks to the early fireworks, the Giants were able to do just that.

Aboriginal People Need Solutions, Not More Jail Time
Hon. Carolyn Bennett | Posted 11.28.2012 | Canada
Read More: Aboriginal, Crime, Tough on Crime Conservative, Aboriginal Jail, Aboriginal Women Jail, Crime Aboriginal, Conservative Tough on Crime, Aboriginal Crime, Jail Aboriginal, Canada News
The unusually forceful language in the recent government report titled "Marginalized" underscores the abject failure of this government's simplistic and outdated "tough on crime" approach, particularly for Canada's Aboriginal population. Aboriginal peoples are 4 per cent of the Canadian population, but 20 per cent of the prison population. All Canadians must realize that it is in all of our interests -- in terms of public safety, cost and untapped human potential -- to heed the call of this report and take "aggressive action" to deal with this national disgrace.

Once I played so much Solitaire that I started seeing it when I closed my eyes (cool story bro). I recommend that you don't overdo it. A little Solitaire is enough Solitaire, and this is pretty much the end-all be-all Solitaire app. No ads, works great, includes all four suits and all fifty two cards. Switch up the scoring style and personalize the backs of the cards if you wanna get ca-razy.
It's classic Solitaire. No ads is a big plus.
If you tap a card that can go somewhere, it will just fly on its own, which honestly seems a bit too much of a gimme. But to each his own.
Original review from Sep 01, 2014:
If it's Solitaire you want, it's Solitaire you need (and nothing but Solitaire will do). This app is one of the most popular on the market, and definitely a good choice if you were looking for Solitaire.
You can customize the game to play howsoever you please. Wanna draw one card or three at once? Should scoring be Standard, Vegas-style, or totally absent? Wanna use an image from your gallery to personalize the cards? What about playing in portrait or landscape mode? Auto-completing once you've gotten it all organized? Yes to all of the above.
One thing I don't care for - if you tap a card that can be placed somewhere, it will just automatically fly there on its own. That seems just far too easy, honestly. Although, I suppose Solitaire was never meant to be a serious mental workout anyway.
There are no ads. It's a smooth, uninterrupted Solitaire experience.
Original score: 7.0/10

Town Square
Skelly posts local official's letter re Duveneck OCR bullying case
Original post made by Curious, Fairmeadow, on May 18, 2013
Claude Ezran, a member of Palo Alto's Human Relations Commission, and his wife sent the letter to Skelly on May 12. [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.]
The post follows OCR's warning to Skelly that an email from the Duveneck principal to parents threatened the victim's privacy rights. OCR admonished Skelly to ensure that PAUSD treat the Duveneck case with the seriousness appropriate to potential violations of federal civil rights law, and reminded Skelly that retaliation against the complainant would itself violate federal law. See
Web Link
According to the Ezran email, the couple has no children at Duveneck school.
Ezran's email is one of several praising the Superintendent included in his weekly memo to the school board. The memo also looks forward to Skelly's day-long annual performance review by the board, scheduled for next month.

Public communications on the case is exactly what OCR warned Skelly against. Why is he using our district website to cast aspersions on the complaint? Doesn't he understand that this just makes it harder to claim that the district is dealing fairly and objectively with these issues? And obviously giving people a lesson in what happens when you bring an OCR complaint?
a resident of Barron Park
on May 18, 2013 at 1:36 pm
So to clarify this misleading post - the poster refers to one sentence on page 7 of a 28 page weekly update to the board. The memo includes a number of emails and memos on various topics, including the email mentioned, which has a single, throw-away sentence that merely states the email writer's (Mr. Ezran's wife, not Mr. Ezran) opinion about the story she read in the paper.
And please note that this memo is "posted to the PAUSD website" only because last year others made an issue of the superintendent's weekly board update not being publicly available; so now they put it on the website every week.
The poster seems to be trying to make something out of [portion removed due to reference to previously removed item] -- the "post followed a warning ... that an email threatened victim's privacy rights" (a toss-away line from a parent who seems to have no direct info on the matter doesn't seem likely to compromise anyone's privacy). Really? [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.]

on May 18, 2013 at 1:56 pm
Actually, the letter says "my husband Claude Ezran and I" and expresses the opinion about Duveneck that "we believe" etc. Why are you trying to deny that the letter is from Ezran?
Skelly clearly knows that the memo is posted to the Web, since he does it once a week. The story does a good job of capturing what is actually going on.

Fred, why is that line a "throwaway." Can you define " throwaway" I mean if I got a piece of such transparently calculated flattery I would probably throw the whole thing away not send it to my boss and put it on the web. But that line seems like the only non- throw away substantive sentence in an otherwise vapid missive.
I think Kevin Skelly was trying to use Ezran's status as an HRC member to try to erode the credibility of the OCR and the victim but only ended up eroding that of the Ezrans. Seems appropriate.
Editor I think Curious is turning out to be quite the cub reporter.

@Curious - Please, continue. I hope you will not be discouraged by the early lock of this thread. I am very curious to know what was removed from your initial post. I happened to read recently several posts prior to be removed, I must admit that I do not understand.
As to specific emails discussed above, mentioned in the link you provided - anyone has the right to email/write/stand in board meeting expressing personal opinion. I am assuming that publishing this email support was approved by the sender. You did mention in a previous thread that the $150K PR position was put on hold. Maybe, PR consultants, or just friends, are proving advice at no cost, and the recent publications are result of that advice? Nothing wrong with using no cost advice of course. PAUSD was able to use McKinsey's consulting at no cost prior, advising as to the strategic plan.
Unfortunately, it is pretty clear that not everyone feel comfortable to express their opinions, especially if those opinions are not popular with the school or district officials, and personal kids happen to attend PAUSD.

I don't know what the editor removed, unfortunately. I am struck however by the poor judgment showed by Mr. Skelly in including this statement in a message sent to the school board and posted to the Internet.
More concerning to me is the overall picture of the relation between Mr. Skelly and the school board that is indicated by these communications and others in the series of weekly memos (I found them at Web Link).
These memos are almost entirely devoid of substance. Mr. Skelly seems to assume that the school board is uninterested in details of policy, governance, or substance. Instead, these memos consist of chatty reports of visits with students and letters praising Mr. Skelly or Mr. Skelly praising others. In most of them the only substance seems to be pictures of construction projects.
Perhaps since these weekly memos are released to the public Mr. Skelly includes no actual content in them. But if they are an accurate picture, the school board is quite divorced from the substance of education. Rather, they are concerned with social trifles. That unfortunately makes some sense of what has seemed a very passive stance in reaction to the various issues confronting the school district.

The Ezran email has the subject line: "RE: Superintendent's Message: The Palo Alto Community At Its Best." That means it was responding to Skelly's May 10 Superintendent's Message entitled "The Palo Alto Community At Its Best," which I got in my email too, and which you can read at: Web Link
The email from Dr. Skelly said that he is having "days where I struggle to find much that is positive" so Skelly was kind of inviting this kind of email praising him. Ezran just took the opportunity to flatter and praise Skelly (partly by saying that the Duveneck school bullying case was overblown" in a sad effort to curry favor with Skelly for his PAUSD child:
"We still have a third daughter at Paly so we will stay in touch."
But maybe not by email next time.

@palydad, it's more than mere flattery (which apparently can get you somewhere after all) because according to the Weekly at least one of Ezran's children did attend Duveneck, though several years ago. Ezran appears to be trying to sidle up to Skelly by retailing community gossip about the Duveneck OCR case.
Web Link
Skelly for his part was happy to publicize to the board and community that a public official on the HRC who is from the Duveneck community thinks that the disability-based bullying complaint is being "blown up out of proportion." I think that's just terrible.
I have a feeling that Ezran agreed to have that email sent to the board and posted tot the web ahead of time. What better way to have the Superintendent feel a bit indebted to you than to supply him with a public attack on the OCR complaint right before his performance evaluation.

UTSA professors Chunjiang Qian and Richard Gambitta

UTSA professors receive Outstanding Teaching Awards from UT System regents
By Christi Fish and Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialists
(Aug. 20, 2009)--UTSA professors Richard Gambitta and Chunjiang Qian received Outstanding Teaching Awards from the University of Texas System (UT) Board of Regents at an awards ceremony and dinner last night in Austin. The inaugural awards, which were presented to 73 faculty members this year from across the UT System, celebrated the highest quality of undergraduate teaching and were accompanied by monetary stipends totaling $2 million. As tenured faculty, Gambitta and Qian will receive $30,000 each.
"Clearly, we have a mandate to provide an exceptional education for our students, but our universities also play a critical role in ensuring the economic vitality of Texas. We believe these efforts will foster success in the areas of pedagogy and research, and that they will significantly enhance the educational experience for our students and sharpen the competitive edge of our science and technology activities," said Francisco G. Cigarroa, M.D., UT System chancellor.
Established by the UT Board of Regents in August 2008, the Outstanding Teaching Awards program fosters innovative approaches to teaching, research and commercialization endeavors at the 15 UT System institutions. Candidates for this year's inaugural teaching awards were nominated at the campus level then evaluated on several criteria including student and peer evaluations, teaching portfolios, letters of recommendation and student learning outcomes.
Richard Gambitta, associate professor of political science and director of the UTSA Institute for Law and Public Affairs, has an educational career spanning more than 30 years at UTSA. Throughout his career, he has taught politics, constitutional law, civil liberties and public administration. He also has chaired the UTSA Department of Political Science and Geography and its master of public administration program. Currently, Gambitta is dually appointed in the UTSA College of Liberal and Fine Arts and the Honors College.
With UTSA President Ricardo Romo, Gambitta co-founded the UTSA Institute for Law and Public Affairs and designed its curricular programs, headed the legal studies minor, and has been a stalwart teacher in the annual UTSA Summer Law School Preparation Academy, which has notably increased the number of UTSA students who attend law school. In 2004, Gambitta and State Rep. Ruth Jones McClendon co-founded the UTSA Legislative Scholars Program, which allows students to earn up to $10,000 per legislative session by working as legislative assistants in the Texas House of Representatives.
"Words cannot express how deeply I feel honored in winning this inaugural, prestigious award bestowed by the UT Board of Regents," said Gambitta. "The award symbolizes the significant commitment of the UT System and UTSA to special, high-quality professorial teaching. For decades, I have attempted to challenge, motivate and illuminate, endeavoring to instill a morality of aspiration, dedication and excellence in our students so that they may meet more wisely and compassionately the significant, complex challenges of our communities and world."
The UT Regents Outstanding Teaching Award is Gambitta's 11th major teaching award since his career began in 1978.
Associate Professor Chunjiang Qian joined the UTSA Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2001 after receiving his Ph.D. from Case Western Reserve University. He soon became a favorite teacher among UTSA's undergraduate engineering students.
Early in his teaching career, Qian learned that students are most apt to retain information when it is presented practically, so he makes a point to include hands-on experiments in his classroom lectures. Additionally, he encourages his undergraduates to pursue research opportunities in engineering. Since 2001, he has published eight papers with undergraduate co-authors.
Qian frequently uses technology in the classroom. Since 2002, he has integrated WebCT (World Wide Web Course Tools, WebCT Inc.) in his teaching toolkit. The online portal lets Qian upload his class notes handouts, homework and solutions for students. Additionally, it allows students to view their class schedules, check their grades and share questions or problems with classmates and Qian. In 2005, Qian began using a Tablet PC in the classroom. The device helps him deliver vivid and colorful notes in manageable increments.
Qian's teaching has had a profound effect on his students. Nickolas Grady, a former student who is now a software engineer with Boeing Integrated Defense Systems said, "I would like to say I have the ability to grasp everything before me, but in fact I certainly would not have picked the field of controls had it not been for Dr. Qian's ability to make the difficult seem accessible to me."
Mauli Agrawal, dean of the UTSA College of Engineering, said, "It is well known in the College of Engineering that Dr. Qian is an outstanding teacher. Students talk about it in the hallways and so do the faculty. His student teaching evaluations are always very high -- high enough that I must admit I checked to see if they were driven by grade inflation. I was wrong! He is a fair grader, in fact tough at times, but students still love his teaching."
The University of Texas System is one of the nation's largest higher education systems, with nine academic campuses and six health institutions. The UT System has an annual operating budget of $11.5 billion (FY 2009) including $2.5 billion in sponsored programs funded by federal, state, local and private sources. Student enrollment exceeded 194,000 in the 2007 academic year. The UT System confers more than one-third of the state's undergraduate degrees and educates nearly three-fourths of the state's health-care professionals annually. With more than 81,000 employees, the UT System is one of the largest employers in the state.
The University of Texas at San Antonio is one of the fastest growing higher education institutions in Texas and the second largest of nine academic universities and six health institutions in the UT System. As a multicultural institution of access and excellence, UTSA aims to be a premier public research university providing access to educational excellence and preparing citizen leaders for the global environment. UTSA serves more than 28,400 students in 64 bachelor's, 47 master's and 21 doctoral degree programs in the colleges of Architecture, Business, Education and Human Development, Engineering, Honors, Liberal and Fine Arts, Public Policy, Sciences and Graduate School. Founded in 1969, UTSA is an intellectual and creative resource center and a socioeconomic development catalyst for Texas and beyond.

Ipanema Beach, Rio de Janiero, Brazil
Ipanema Beach is located in the southern region of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. There are always circles of people playing soccer, volleyball and footvolley, an invented sport that is a combination of volleyball and soccer. With waves reaching up to 9 feet in the winter, it's also a great destination for surfers.
Punta Tombo, Argentina
Just by looking at Argentina's Punta Tombo Beach, you probably wouldn't know that over a million Magellan penguins return here every autumn to mate. The beach is part of the Punta Tombo National Reserve, located in south Patagonia.
Tayrona, Colombia
Cañaveral, Arrecifes, La Piscina and El Cabo are 4 popular beaches to visit in Colombia's Tayrona National Park. Travelers looking for beaches that are off-the-beaten-path should try one of these beach destinations, but remember to pack light. Cañaveral Beach is the only beach reachable by car. The other 3 beaches will require a hike to reach the sandy shore, which is ideal for eco-friendly tourists and backpackers.
Máncora, Peru
Avid surfers head to Máncora, a small beach resort town in northwestern Peru. It's known as a popular place to ride the waves throughout the entire year. And in addition to great waves, the beach isn't crowded, but after dark, the local nightclubs attract the party crowd. If you're staying in Lima, buses run down the coast to city and vary in price and quality.
Montañita, Ecuador
Surfing, bodyboarding, scuba diving, water skiing and windsurfing are a few reasons why tourists and locals flock to Montañita, Ecuador. High tourism season for the town starts in January and hits its low in June. The town's liberal, party beach is the only place in Ecuador where it isn't illegal to smoke marijuana. And it's not uncommon to see same-sex couples holding hands freely with support from the locals.
Reñaca Beach, Viña del Mar, Chile
Reñaca Beach is a few miles north of Viña del Mar, Chile's largest and well-renown resort town. Although the Antarctica current, which travels up along the coast, makes for chilly swimming conditions year round -- this is the place to see and be seen.
Praia do Forte, Bahia, Brazil
Travel to rustic Praia do Forte, Bahia, Brazil. With only 4 main streets, tourists can relax and unwind with the locals in this old fishing village, packed with bars, restaurants, art and crafts shops, hotels and other businesses. The 7 miles of beach make it ideal for watersports and for communing with nature and the local wildlife.
Punta del Este, Uruguay
During its summer tourist season, Punta del Este, in southern Uruguay, explodes from a population of 7,300 people to more than 150,000. The town sits at the point where the Río de la Plata meets the Atlantic Ocean. The beaches here become less crowded the farther you get from the center of the town. Some of the Punta del Este's beaches include Montoya beach, Bikini Beach and Manantiales Beach.
Shell Beach, Guyana
Visit Guyana's Shell Beach if you're an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys seeing local wildlife. This beach is a popular nesting site for 4 of 8 sea turtle species. Since the 60s, conservationists have banned together to prevent the slaughter of these turtles for their meat and eggs.
Punta Carnero Beach, Salinas, Ecuador
It may look deserted, but people from all around the world travel to Punta Carnero Beach in Salinas, Ecuador, because the climate for surfing is spectacular year round. This beach has played host to numerous national and international surf competitions.
San Bartolo, Peru
Lima's San Bartolo district attracts scores of beachgoers every summer. Surfing is the popular watersport. Other districts in Lima, Punta Negra and Santa Maria del Mar, are also hot beach destinations.

The Blanding's turtle (Emydoidea blandingii) is a medium-sized, semi-aquatic freshwater turtle that is a threatened species in Massachusetts. The New England population is disjunct from the main portion of their range. They require a variety of wetland habitats, make frequent seasonal overland movements, and therefore suffer mortality not only from direct wetland habitat loss, but from landscape fragmentation as well.
