The Foundation for Information Technology Education (FITE) launched a new website at http://www.edfoundation.org/.
Vist the new website and read about the foundation's scholarships, conferences, and programs. Learn how you can make a tax deductible contribution to help continue and expand FITE's efforts in information management education.
The Foundation for IT Education is a not-for-profit independent organization representing practitioners, educators and researchers. FITE's mission is the development of individuals in the Information Technology Industry. It seeks to provide leadership in identifying educational opportunities that will advance the information systems profession. FITE was established in 1975 through generous donations of then DPMA members and was matched by an IT education pioneer who has since passed on….Paul Pair. Gifts and grants to the Foundation are exempt from Federal Income Tax, under section 501(c)(3), Internal Revenue Code.
The Foundation's objectives are:
The Foundation sponsors the highly successful Information Systems Education Conference (ISECON) for the professional educator, as well as the corporate professional. ISECON is a premier educational event, annually bringing together educators, professional trainers and textbook publishers in concert with the Conference on Information Systems Applied Research (CONISAR). The Education Special Interest Group (EDSIG) of the Association of Information Technology Professionals provides important management support for this distinguished event. The Foundation has been an annual sponsor of the AITP National Collegiate Conference (NCC) since 1996.
FITE sponsors a grants and awards program for colleges and universities as well as individuals and organizations, to provide funds for projects that further educate in the areas of information processing.
The Foundation also has a IT scholarship program. In some cases the Foundation, through its investment firm, manages the funds for scholarships established and conducted by local AITP chapters. In other cases the Foundation not only managers the funds, but also manages the screening/selection process. Annually, the Selection Committee screens hundreds of applications to identify the worthy recipients of these scholarships.
FITE also sponsors the DPMA Legacy Society that recognizes friends of the Foundation who have either funded or planned a deferred gift, such as a bequest or a life income plan. It is named in honor of the Data Processing Management Association (DPMA) which rose to prominence during the pioneering days of the information technology profession and provided many of us with valuable professional growth opportunities, outstanding professional fellowship, and lifelong friendships.
The Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Regents who lend their time, talent and energy to support projects, programs, and initiatives like ISECON/CONISAR, the AITP National Collegiate Conference, scholarship reviews and selections, and the scholarship fund management.
Grants are welcome from all organizations to expand these programs. Gifts and grants to the Foundation are exempt from federal income tax, under section 501(c)(3), Internal Revenue Code. This exemption also applies to contributions made by AITP chapters, regions, officers, individual members or non-members.
The gifts and grants exemption from Federal Income Tax also applies to contributions made by AITP chapters, regions, officers, individual members or non-members. Chapter and individual contributions are often placed in the Foundation's endowment fund to ensure continuity of the Foundation and to provide maximum leverage for the contribution. Your help is solicited so that the Foundation's much needed and long overdue efforts in information management education can be continued and expanded.

As Ben Franklin said: In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is
Freedom, in water there is bacteria.
In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have
Demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of
The year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli,
(E. Coli) - bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming
1 kilo of poop.
However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or
Tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go
Through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or
Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health
Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink
Water and be full of shit.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information.............I'm doing
It as a public service.
Consider this, Amateurs built the Ark, Professionals built the Titanic

I only drink Club Soda & I still talk stupid. Maybe drinking alcohol would give me an excuse.
I wonder if the Washington D.C. has a higher poop content?

I see you raised the ire of the Singletree community by first expressing no opinion, some facts, and then some more facts.
What kind of trouble-maker do you think you are, anyways? You deserve to be flamed!

I wish I lived on Singletree,
I don't think it is the Singletree community, but a single person posting under different aliases who keeps misspelling my name. Note in the discussion on elderly care that the person didn't even have anything to say about elderly care before writing about me. Seems like everything this person accuses me of they are doing themselves. I guess even when you enter the adult world, you really never leave high school.

im surprised more people haven't commented yet. Maybe they are scared?!?!?!
Its true you've posted in many forums, and at one point took what i said complety out of context and twisted my words a bit.
BUT you're rebuttals and 'devil's adovate' role in our interaction encouraged me to re-think what i say and how i say it.
On a positive note, your comments keeping me coming back to this website anticipating a response. so thanks!

Some people just can't let someone have the last word. The whole thing is just sad. If some one has an opinion it's just that, why is there a need for someone else to tear that person apart based on thier opinion.Personal attacks are horrible, but it seems there is a need for one person to elevate them selves over others. sad sad sad.
cant we all just get along

I did not understand your post completely since it just leaves open interpretation to the reader's imagination. To me it is mostly an implication that Stacey has been tearing people apart, personally attacking, in order to have a last word. That's what I interpret from your short post. If that is what you are saying, that's very untrue. I've read Stacey's posts over a period of time regarding various topics and found her comments objective, factual, non-emotional, and never insulting or attacking to anyone.
Her record of posts are memorialized in print and anyone can review them in light of this discussion and decide if she is guilty of attacking people. Your failure to point out any examples sticks out. I have noticed that those who's views are challenged by anyone in these blogs, they in turn tend to accuse the person of attacking them. In other words, if you don't agree with me, you are attacking me.

That seems to be the craze these days, I mean to say that if you don't agree with me, then you're attacking me. That's like "if you're not with us, you're against us." And we all know where that policy has taken us the last six years...

Thanks for your words. I hope you continue to contribute your thoughts too.
I wouldn't be surprised if the writers that seem only interested in harassing people aren't bored teenagers. I've noticed recently an increase in harassment on these forums against other writers. I'm finding it difficult to believe the some of the posts written here would be from an adult even though it may be signed like "parent" or "concerned resident". You can somewhat tell from their writing style...
Don't miss out on the discussion!

SC2001 Panel and Request from Co-Editor
[ Send your comments/opinions/questions to Guy, firstname.lastname@example.com . ]
Guy Robinson has been asked to comment on the Best and Worst Ideas in Supercomputing in a panel session at SC2001. At least he thinks thats what the panel is for, not "as" examples of the best and worst ideas in supercomputing. Do any readers of the newsletter have any comments they'd like to share with him?
See http://www.sc2001.org/ for more on the panel session, but here's the outline:
SC2001 Panel Session FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16
10:30am-noon Room A207/209
Topic: Supercomputing's Best and Worst Ideas
Panelists: James C. Browne, Professor Computer Science, University of Texas, Austin; Cherri M. Pancake, Professor, Oregon State University; Guy Robinson, Research Liaison/MPP Specialist, Arctic Region Supercomputing Center, University of Alaska; Charles Seitz, CEO & CTO, Myricom, Inc.; Burton Smith, Chief Scientist, Cray Inc.; Marc Snir, Professor, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
The title of this panel is, to some extent, self-explanatory-but if that were all we said, the abstract would be too short. Thus, the questions below expand on the issues that the panelists may wish to consider. We are pleased to have a very distinguished group of panelists covering a wide range of aspects of supercomputing. We invite you to join in the discussion with your answers to the following questions, and with your own questions for the panelists and audience.
Some questions to be put forth at the panel are as follows:
What makes an idea a "supercomputing idea"? (You cannot use the word "supercomputer" in your answer)
What ideas have gone, over time, from best to worst, worst to best, or both?
From ideas that were bad, what good kernels have been extracted?
From ideas that were good, what bad impacts have occurred?
Are some ideas reminiscent of a "Tale of Two Cities"-it is the best of ideas and the worst of ideas?
Is one person's best idea choice another person's worst idea choice?
[... etc ...]
[... etc ...]
2001 Bear Encounters
[ This article has NOTHING to do with computing! Feel free to skip ahead to the (ever-relevant... for someone... we hope...) Quick-Tip. ]
In Issue #223 , I invited you to share your bear encounters of summer 2001. Now that the bears are starting to hibernate, I thought I'd share the stories. Fortunately, everyone, especially Guy, survived their terrifying encounters:From Don Morton:
This happened in mid-June, I was running trails on Blue Mt. near Missoula, Montana. I had put in about 5 miles, making noise now and then to scare off any potential bears or mountain lions. This was to no avail, because I rounded a bend and saw, roughly 15 yards away, the derriere of a black bear, furiously digging away underneath a rotting log. The bear was so busy that it hadn't noticed me, so I stopped to ponder what to do. Well, it took about 3.72 seconds for me to realize that, at the very least, I should back off and get out of sight. I pondered turning around and heading back to the trailhead, but I have few opportunities for long runs in the mountains and was determined to climb the rest of the way up. So, I clapped and yelled, hoping to scare the bear off (from a distance) and, sure enough, I heard it crashing through the woods off the trail. Funny, my wife had just a few days earlier cursed all those tree stumps that look like bears and lions. Well, I'm here to tell you that after being close to a bear, those tree stumps look even MORE like bears! You're just a little on edge, and even a mouse scurrying around in the bushes can spook you for a bit!From Tom Baring:
I've seen five bears since moving to Alaska, six years ago, and three were on the drive up. This summer's was the best encounter, as I felt no threat, and the bear was in its natural element, surrounded by incredible, primordial beauty: moss covered spruce, cloudy glacial peaks, silence, the occasional eagle or raven flying overhead, and moist undergrowth. It's likely this particular bear hadn't seen a road in its whole life. I was "camping" with my family and some friends in a forest service cabin on a bay in Prince William Sound. Two of us sea kayaked, at absolute high-tide, up the estuary of a nearby creek (but not too nearby), and just where the clear water of the creek began to dominate, pushing the siltier sea water back toward the bay, and where we first started to see the schools of pink salmon swimming under our boats, my companion whispered, "look up there." It was a black bear, probably 50 yards away, walking along the creek, undoubtedly well fed on salmon. Ten more steps, and he disappeared into the woods.From Guy Robinson:
My bear encounter: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/bearcam/From Tom Bachert:
The ink of the night pressed in upon us as my dog "Scrub" and I huddled behind the shadowy hulk of my boat resting forlornly on its trailer in our driveway. Moments before, we had been part of a different world. A world of televisions blaring harsh reports of terror and disaster, of sinks of dirty dishes, and kids complaining of unfair homework assignments. A world where beepers remind us of the electronic complaints being issued by distant computers while electric lights shield us from the Alaskan night. Scrub, being of the canine persuasion, never really fit into such a world and thus had nuzzled me into taking our nightly walk in his world. Now we found ourselves in the darkness of the approaching winter listening with a mixture of fear and curiosity as teeth or claw shredded lumber and metal just outside our field of vision.
"Who goes there?" I demand, trying to sound like the confident king of my world. The night's sudden silence was my only answer.
"Is it a bear?" I whisper to Scrub but his only response is a wet lick of my hand reassuring me that I really am the king and thus all must be right in the world as far as he is concerned. "Geeezz! I live in town!" Certainly a bear wouldn't be stalking me here.
Then again this is ALASKA, and this certainly does seem to be the year of the bear.
It began in spring when I watched "bear" market eat any hopes of an early retirement. This was followed by that June night when my boat broke down miles from the nearest road and those giant grizzly tracks marked off the area where my son and I would be pitching our tent. August had brought that whole family of bruins which raided our backpacks and chased my son and me away from the best salmon fishing holes along the Talkeetna river. "Hmmm, maybe the bears are stalking me in my own neighborhood now!"
Gathering my courage I reach into my boat and retrieve a flashlight. I boldly step forward into the darkness and stab at the light's switch. To my relief, the batteries are still good and a bright yellow beam shoots into the darkness. My heart stops as I see two red eyes mirrored back at me along the edge of the cone of light, but it restarts a moment later when I realize the eyes belong to my neighbor's dog. His chain is tangled and his bowl of moose bones is stuck just out of reach under the corner of his wooden doghouse. Feeling much more like a king, I walk over to him, untangle his chain and retrieve his food bowl.
Scrub and I continue our walk under the darkness of the approaching winter, once again confident that all is well in the real world as long as one is not tangled in chains and is in possession of a warm bowl of bones.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ I have a wallop of text files. It's easy to list those which [[ contain some word, for instance, "dungarees:" [[ [[ grep -i -l "dungarees" *.txt [[ [[ However, I need the files which do NOT contain the word. This command: [[ [[ grep -i -l -v "dungarees" *.txt [[ [[ went berserk! It claimed that _every_ file does not contain dungarees, [[ which is false! Does grep have some bug? What should I do? [[ # # From Chris Edsall # All hail the power of find! The command: grep -i -l "dungarees" *.txt could be rewritten, find . -name \*.txt -exec grep -i "dungarees" {} \; -print This is making use of the result code the grep normally returns to the shell. From here it is easy to reverse the logic of the grep test: find . -name \*.txt ! -exec grep -i "dungarees" {} \; -print # # A couple of refinements are possible. # # 1- grep can be silenced, so only the file names will be listed, by # giving grep the "-q" option (AIX or UNICOS) or "-s" option (IRIX). # # 2- find can be restricted to a search of the current working # directory using the -prune option. # # The following solution (AIX or UNICOS) was sent in by Dale Clark: # find * \( -type d -prune \) -o -name "*" ! -exec egrep -iq "valid until" {} \; -print Q: I want to duplicate a file, _including_ its modification time, which is actually important to me. But I'm stuck: - "mv" retains the mod time, but doesn't duplicate the file - "cp" duplicates the file, but changes the time For example: sgi> ll my.old.file -rw-r----- 1 myname mygrp 2112 Nov 8 1981 my.old.file sgi> cp my.old.file junk sgi> ll my.old.file junk -rw------- 1 myname mygrp 2112 Oct 11 06:46 junk -rw-r----- 1 myname mygrp 2112 Nov 8 1981 my.old.file sgi> mv my.old.file junk sgi> ll junk -rw-r----- 1 myname mygrp 2112 Nov 8 1981 junk What's a guy supposed to do?

The last molar teeth in the mouth are called as wisdom teeth. While in some people they erupt completely into the mouth and function with no problem whatsoever, in others, they remain embedded in the bone, erupt incompletely, erupt at an angle, or are covered by bone or a flap of tissue. They are absent in many.
Of late, dentists recommend removal of wisdom teeth, more a preventive than remedial measure. Some of the reasons for wisdom tooth removal are listed below
Impaction: Often, wisdom teeth do not have enough space to erupt in their normal position. This can only be evaluated properly on an x-ray. If the x-ray shows that the tooth is unlikely to erupt because of being blocked by a root or bone, this needs to be removed.
Pericoronitis: The tooth partially erupts into the mouth but is covered by a flap of gum. This attracts food and bacteria to accumulate, leading to decay and infection, a condition called as pericoronitis. Very common in the lower wisdom teeth, it leads to severe tooth pain, painful swallowing and swelling of the lymph nodes. This is the most common cause for wisdom teeth to be removed. An x-ray will reveal the tooth to be infected and sometimes periapical abscess may also be present.
Cysts: Impacted teeth can develop fluid-filled cysts which can cause severe and even permanent damage to the jaw bone, adjacent teeth and nerves. Dentigerous cysts are the most common type.
Alignment: Misaligned wisdom teeth exert a constant mild pressure on the adjacent teeth which can hamper the alignment and reverse the effects produced by braces. The bite may be altered also, thereby necessitating removal.
Adjacent Tooth Damage: If the malposed wisdom tooth is causing pocket formation or decay in the adjacent teeth, it is time to get them removed.
Recurrent Sinus Infections: With their proximity to sinuses, there could be constant pain and pressure and infection of the sinuses. This is another indication for their removal.
However, not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. If they have erupted fully, are healthy, produce a good bite, and can be cleaned easily, they do not require removal.
During the teenage years and through 20s, check with your dentist on the health of the wisdom teeth. X-rays can be taken to monitor them and for early identification of problems. If they need to be removed, it is easier to take them out when you're young. The bone surrounding the impacted tooth is less dense, and therefore easier. The ability of the body in general and the jaw bones in particular to heal is also better at a younger age.

Analysis of "r00t 4 LFI Toolkit"
Recently I saw a couple of people tweet about this newly released "tool", which in essence should be able to: "This tool is a php script that assists in performing local file inclusion attacks."
Unfortunately, it only performs one type of LFI attack (via /proc/self/environ), and furthermore, it is also backdoored.

Horse Stuck in Hole Dies After Rescue Attempt
The Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region is Investigating
YODER, Colo. - El Paso County Sheriff's Deputies and the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region pulled a horse from a ditch Wednesday morning. Now the Humane Society is investigating whether or not it will charge the horse's owner with neglect.
Deputies responded to a home on Torrence Road in Yoder just after 9 Wednesday morning. When they arrived they found a horse, whose name was Elliott, stuck in the ditch.
Neighbors had tried to dig the horse out and were even using lead ropes to try to pull him out, but it wasn't until the humane society showed up with rescue equipment that they pulled Elliott out.
Neighbors say they don't think Elliott saw the hole because it was buried. "It probably had been covered up by tumbleweeds, he probably just mistook it for a regular path right there and he probably fell in because we get massive tumbleweeds here and it could cover everything," says neighbor Juan Urbina who helped pull Elliott from the ditch.
Elliott was on his way to Airways Veterinary Hospital when he died. The Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region says it used equipment that was donated to it during the Black Forest Fire to pull the horse out.

Christina is an especially nice and friendly hostess; she helped us by telephone to steer the taxi driver correctly to the flat and expected us in spite of late hour heartily in front of the house and gave afterwards us many interesting tips to Porto. The spacious and absolutely clean flat has a great view about the Douro on Old Town of Porto. The beds have really comfortable mattresses and it sleeps very well. With the equipment Christina has really thought to everything, not only the fitments are so entire as we have it seen still nowhere somewhere else so perfectly, also articles like shampoo, shower cream, nail varnish and nail remover, manicure set with- in the flight hand luggage to bring with not allowed - nail scissors and tweezers exist in the flat. We felt absolutely very well in the flat and can pronounce (in Latin said) "summa cum laude" and have to say a hearty "Multo Obrigado!" to Christina. We can recommend the flat only very well and thus we would come gladly again later, if we are able timewise. Roland and Christine from Germany
We found a beautiful appartment and met Cristina who is a perfect host and really friendly and well prepared. From the location we walked easily down to the riverside where the first part of the city center begins. Reaching the historic town from there is no problem and possible in different ways (bus, boat, by foot,....). We spent wonderful days in Porto! Thank you!
We have been in Cristinas appartment for second time and we hope we will be able to come back very soon. Highly recomanded in all. Cristina is the best owner ever. She is helpfull, very kind and very friendly. Hope to see you again, Cristina.
Cristina is great host, very friendly and helpful.The appartament is very comfortable and clean. It is also well situated and you can easily reach the touristic attractions. We had a great time. Obrigado!
The appartament is comfortable, clean and well equipeed. It is well situated you can easily get the famous places in the city. The center is 15 minutes walk so you can rich it on foot. Cristina is fantastic host, friendly and helpful. She helped us in everything we asked. It is fantastic place to stay for a few days or longer.
We spent four days at Christina's lovely apartment in Porto. She is a gracious and lovely hostess and made our stay memorable. The apartment is ideal for two couples travelling together as there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms. I highly recommend this apartment.
we spent wonderful days in the apparment of Cristina. She is very kind and she gave us lots of helpful informations even we reached there after mitnight. She already had bought stuff for our breakfast for the next day. It would be a great pleasure for us to repeat our visit in Porto at Cristinas app. for days/weeks or month. Can´t give a better place.
Thanks so much, Cristina.
Thank you for evetything Cristina. The house is perfect for a whole family or for 2 couples ,every room can be separated,so everybody can enjoy their privacy. It feels like home,as you can find anything that you can imagine( from scissor to mixer). The location is pretty good, 3 minutes from Graham's port and Porto' city center can easily be reached by bus ( bus stop is at the end of the road). Cristina provides a lot of useful informaiton about sightseeing, transportation, etc..There is only one little thing , the double bed is a little bit small,it would be really comfortable for smaller ,skinny persons. All in all we really enjoyed ourselves and had a good time,would come back again anytime.
Cristina's apartment was really nice, very clean, tastefully decorated with her own beautiful paintings. the apartment has all the amenities for a very comfortable stay. The location is excellent. Most of all, Cristina is a very warm, nice, helpful host who made our stay a very pleasant one.

Publisher: U.S. Census Bureau
Survey: Census 1960 (US, County & State)
|Nonwhite Population by Race (Volume II, Part I - Subject Reports)
U.S. Bureau of the Census. U.S. Census of Population: 1960. Subject Reports, Nonwhite Population by Race. Final Report PC(2)-1C. U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 1963.
Chapter Contents
This report, based on the 1960 Census of Population, contains 25-percent sample data on social and economic characteristics of the nonwhite population by race, for the United States, regions, and selected States and standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSA's). Data are shown for the Negro, American Indian, Japanese, Chinese, and Filipino races. This information includes nativity, residence in 1955, years of school completed, marital status, relationship to head of household, family composition and characteristics, employment status, hours worked, weeks worked in 1959, occupation, industry, and income.
The last two tables of this report contain complete-count data on nonwhite races in Hawaii and Alaska. Data are shown separately for Japanese, Chinese, Filipinos, Hawaiians, and part-Hawaiians in Hawaii, and for Aleuts, Eskimos, and American Indians in Alaska. The information in these tables includes age, marital status, and household relationship.

Data are shown separately for Japanese, Chinese, Filipinos, Hawaiians, and part-Hawaiians in Hawaii, and for Aleuts, Eskimos, and American Indians in Alaska. The information in these tables includes age, marital status, and household relationship.
Information for 1960 on racial composition for the United States and regions and for divisions, States, SMSA's, urbanized areas, urban places of 10,000 or more, and counties is given for each race by sex in Volume I, Characteristics of the Population, chapter B, for all States, Parts 2 through 52. In the same chapter, there are statistics for the white and Negro races, and for all other races combined for urban places of 2,500 to 10,000, places of 1,000 to 2,500, and minor civil divisions or census county divisions. Similar data are given for each census tract in tracted areas in 1960 Censuses of Population and Housing, Series PHC(l), Census Tracts. Statistics on State of birth, residence in 1955, educational attainment, family composition, employment status, occupation, industry, and income are presented, by color, in chapter C of Volume I, for States and their urban-rural parts, and for selected SMSA's and counties. Statistics on age, family composition, occupation, industry, and income for Negroes and all other nonwhite persons are presented in chapter D of Volume I, for the United States, regions, States, SMSA's of 250,000 or more, and counties of 250,000 or more. In addition, in Volume I and in reports in the PC(2) series, most characteristics shown for the total population are also presented for the total nonwhite population. Detailed characteristics by race for specific subjects are included in the following reports: PC(2)-3A, Women by Number of Children Ever Born; PC(2)-4A, Families ; PC(2)-6A, Employment Status and Work Experience; PC(2)-7A, Occupational Characteristics; and PC(2)-8A, Inmates of Institutions. Several other PC(2) reports which are devoted to subjects other than race call for one or more tables presenting cross-classification of the major subjects by detailed race.
Data from the 1950 Census of Population on social and economic characteristics of Negroes, Indians, Japanese, Chinese, Filipinos, and all other races are presented in 1950 Census of Population, Volume IV, Part 3, chapter B, Nonwhite Population by Race. Data on Negroes, Indians, Japanese, and Chinese for 1950 are also contained in Volume II, Characteristics of the Population, chapter B, for States and their urban and rural parts. In addition, statistics on Negroes and other nonwhite races combined are presented for counties, standard metropolitan areas (SMA's) urbanized areas, and urban places of 10,000 or more; and statistics on Indians, Japanese, and Chinese are presented for selected counties and cities. Statistics for Negroes and other nonwhite races are presented in 1950 Census of Population, Volume III, Census Tract Statistics. Data on Negroes, Indians, Japanese, and Chinese are also presented in Volume IV, Part 5, chapter B, Education. Detailed data on occupation, industry, and income for Negroes and for persons of other nonwhite races combined are presented for States and SMA's of 100,000 or more in chapter C of Volume II. Information for the same racial categories appears in the following special reports of Volume IV: Employment and Personal Characteristics, Occupational and Industrial Characteristics. Institutional Population, and Characteristics by Size of Place. The classification of the population, by color is a basic classification in the presentation of census statistics, and information on the total nonwhite population is to be found in most of the reports of the 1950 Census.
Availability Of Unpublished Data
Photocopies of unpublished tabulations containing the number of Negroes and of persons of all other non- white races combined are available at cost for each census tract in tracted areas, ward in cities of 25,000 or more, urban place, and remainder of minor civil division. These tabulations include other social characteristics relating to the total and nonwhite population within each area. Data on characteristics of each of the nonwhite races included in tables 1 to 58 are available on magnetic tape for States, SMSA's of 250,000 or more by urban-rural residence, and for the nonmetropolitan balance of States by urban-rural residence. These data can be made available on a reimbursable basis. Requests for unpublished data giving a specific description of the figures desired maybe made in writing to the Chief, Population Division, Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C., 20233. Inquiries concerning unpublished data should be transmitted to the Bureau as soon as possible because tape files are not maintained indefinitely.

Signed into law on March 23, 2010, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) continues to face legal challenges, implementation delays and the re-emergence of cost as a pressing concern. Yet even with those caveats, the law in its first five years has forged a path for major shifts in an industry that represents about 18% of GDP. Not since the Telecommunications Act of 1996, has a piece of legislation sparked such significant changes in a leading sector of the economy.
Though the groundwork was laid in advance of the law's enactment, health industry business models and imperatives will likely never be the same post-ACA. Five trends – both directly and indirectly influenced by the ACA – have ignited this transformation.
With a major US Supreme Court case looming and shifts in the balance of political power, there is still the possibility that the ACA could be further revised or defunded. And new taxes and fees add to existing downward pressure on revenues. Despite the challenges, these key trends —accentuated and accelerated by the law—continue to push forward, building opportunities and risks within the New Health Economy.
Industry leaders must recognize that traditional ways of doing business are rapidly shifting toward a post-ACA system. While many healthcare players are walking the tightrope between old and new, eventually the "new" will become the "norm." As such, each sector must be forward thinking and flexible. Paramount to remaining relevant is the willingness to innovate: to develop strategies that meet the demands of new healthcare consumers, to pursue alternative business models, to adopt new technologies and to take on new roles and activities.

The reason they were apart is because Rihanna had a hard time forgiving Chris for that fight incident. Chris Brown never wanted their relationship to end. They have history together. Don't have anything against Karrueche, but quite frankly, the girls has nothing much going for herself. Chris Brown is still very young, he will get his feelings together. Give it time.
Posted at 10:23 AM on October 9, 2012
Unfortunate incident? He cheated ion Rihanna and when she confronted him he beat her face in to the point where she had to get medical attention.. That is not an unfortunate incident that is ABUSE!!!! I am shocked at how this is being minimized and romantized !!!!!! This man is a woman abuser and cheater. He has no respect for women and Rihanna obviously has no respect for herself. I am all for forgiving but I am very sorry when it comes to physical abuse you are better off forgiving, forgetting and moving on. ABUSE is never OK!

Posted at 12:08 AM on October 7, 2012
They had an unfortunate incident but however they were kept apart because the law said they had to. Ever since they both suffered this is not a shock an awe moment ppl they weren't done. I'm glad if they are together I pray they keep it right this time! Keep in mind usaully when u date someone under those circumstances u can expect somone to get burned they had a close relationship there's no doubt ostriches did not know her position.

Really simi? It's good to make up with a man who cheats, lies and then beats you when you confront him?
I am all for forgiveness but if you have one ounce of self esteem in your soul you also move on and never look back.
That is what a mature person does forgive and forget not go back for some more abuse….

Im sorry but Rihanna is so trashy!!! She has no respect for herself and for others. She wouldnt like it if it was done to her. Jus sayin!!! Kae would be happy with Chris, if Rihanna would jus get off his ball sack and stop trying to come between them all the damn time. She should have jus moved on and thats that. Get over it but noooooo she is fckn Rihanna so she couldnt let them be!!!
Posted at 4:58 PM on October 3, 2012
Rihanna's parents sold her out
Posted at 2:23 AM on October 28, 2012
Rosa, you are so right. Rihanna needs help and looks so foolish. Chris is not hers, he said he didn't wanna hurt Kae. He is single and can date who ever he wants to. Just because Rihanna is famous doesn't mean she gets what she wants. Also, she fought Chris back when that happened in 2009, she shouldn't be such a jealous hoe. Especially when she screws anyone who gives her time of day. Damn fool professing her love on Oprah, that's sick. Of course Oprah isn't gonna judge, she needs her ratings to go up.

Endoscope image showing the materials and construction details visible inside the body cavity of horse. (XVII.9)
In the 1970s some of the carved horses were in poor condition and as part of the important research programme led by Dr Alan Borg, major restoration work was undertaken and at least two horses were repainted in the Armouries workshop . Another horse was restored in the 1980s and as the idea was developed for re-displaying a Line of Kings in the White Tower in the 1990s this process was continued and several horses were repainted by Charteris Restoration & Conservation in 1997. When major restoration work was undertaken on horse XVII.10 in 1996 paint samples were taken and sections examined by low power microscopy. This revealed that on top of the pale ground priming the oak body of the horse there were numerous layers of paint and varnish. The analysis showed that the horse had been painted in several different colours and had four coats of varnish interspersed among the various layers of paint. When the Line of Kings gallery opened in the White Tower in 1997 all except one of the twelve horses included had been repainted using late-20th century materials, several very recently. By contrast, the carved heads and hands were not repainted and showed relatively few signs of having been so for many years.
It was decided that an analysis of the paint layers on each of the horses' bodies would be worthwhile, not only to discover which colours each had originally been painted but also to determine whether some horses had more or fewer coats of paint than the others. It was hoped that identification of similarities and differences in the layers would reveal whether certain sub-groups shared a common pattern which differed from others and thereby indicated which had been painted together or separately. It was also hoped that it might be possible to recognise links between the paint colours formerly used on some horses and the descriptions found in some of the manuscript and published accounts. It was recognised that samples taken from the horses' tails would be of more limited use as the tails have in many cases been swapped or replaced in the past and may have no connection with the horses to which they are currently attached.
Catherine Hassall, a historic paint analyst, was chosen to take and analyse samples and to prepare a report and cross-sections of the paint samples from each of the twelve horses .
All the horses examined had their wood substrate primed with oil paint, not coated with gesso. This was surprising as an earlier account had referred to 'a thick coat of gesso' on a horse which was restored in the 1970s. This primer paint on most horses was a lead white oil paint, with slight variations in the case of some horses as shown below. This broad similarity between most of the primer layers suggests that the horses were delivered by the carvers in an untreated state and were primed, as required, by the Ordnance painters at the Tower of London. This was disappointing in that it eliminated a potential means of separating the horses into workshop sub-groups according to differences in their primer and undercoat layers. However, on the other hand it demonstrated the potential for the results of the physical and archival research to reinforce each other. The Board of Ordnance records include payments to their Master Painter, Valentine Bayley (or Bayly), from 1683 for 'priming, stopping, painting and laying in the colour' on horses and figures. In 1685 and 1686 Bayley was paid to paint the horses and faces which Grinling Gibbons had carved and supplied for the figures of Charles I & II. Ordnance papers also document that their painters were paid to re-paint the horses in the mid 18th century.
Three interesting features emerged from the comparisons of the primers:
Hassall's paint sections revealed that many of the horses were not given a separate undercoat but instead a thin layer of the topcoat was first applied. However, four horses have an undercoat, each different, which was distinct from the original topcoat applied over it.
Eight of the horses each have between eight and ten different paint finishes, suggesting that they have long formed part of a set which was usually repainted as a whole rather than one at a time. In addition, horse XVII.9 was partially stripped of paint when it was restored in 1987, so it is only possible to determine that it has had at least seven different paint treatments. It seems likely that it should also belong in the 'eight to ten' group except for the unintended effect of restoration (by contrast to the others, XVII.20 has only five paint finishes, which corresponds with other evidence that this is a later, probably early 19th century horse) two other horses, XVII.12 & 16, each have only seven paint finishes.
In the 19th century most horses were painted brown with black tails and manes, regardless of their original colours. In the 20th century attempts were made, sometimes incorrectly, to repaint them in their original colours. In every case except XVII.18 the horses have been repainted in the second half of the 20th century as their top paint layer includes titanium dioxide white, a pigment not used earlier.
Samples were also taken of some of the details which show different paint treatments to the rest of the horses. The mouths, where sampled, were originally painted pink. Red paint was introduced instead in the nineteenth century. In several cases the upper layers of paint on the eyes have been removed in the relatively recent past, taking the surface back to an early 19th century layer, while the outlining of the eyes in red was also started during the 19th century. In other cases, the 20th century painters have worked around the eyes rather than going over the 19th century finishes. However, several horses have fairly modern paint on their eyes.

On the evidence of the paint alone, certain horses seem to form sub-groups according to particular characteristics, while other individuals stand out as being unusual for specific reasons:
Sub-group 1: All horses except XVII.7, 8 & 30 share a broadly similar primer, consisting of lead white and oil.
Sub-group 2: Five horses with the lead white/oil primer seem to have been in storage for a considerable time during which they acquired a layer of dirt: XVII.9, 11, 14, 16 & 17.
Sub-group 3: Six horses have evidence of 9 or 10 paint treatments: XVII. 7, 8, 10, 14, 17 & 18.
Sub-group 4: Four horses have evidence of 7 or 8 paint treatments: XVII.11, 12, 16 & 30.
Individual 1: XVII.20 appears to have not formed part of the original Line but to have been acquired in the 19th century. It has only 5 paint treatments and also differs from the other horses in being somewhat larger, made of softwood, having a different body construction type and distinctive carved detailing of the mane and forelock.
Individual 2: XVII.18 is the only horse not re-painted with late-20th century paint. It physically differs from the other extant horses in being thinner and smaller, made of elm and of a different constructional technique. Its pose and the details of the mane and forelock, etc are also distinct.
Individual 3: XVII.7 has a distinctive yellowish primer, comprising yellow ochre and carbon black in a white lead oil paint.
Individual 4: XVII.30 has a dark red ochre primer which is totally different from all the other extant horses. This corresponds with it differing from most of the horses in its dimensions and construction technique. Red ochre was widely used as a primer in the 17th century.
Individual 5: XVII.8 has a chalk/ochre buff primer which is unlike all the other extant horses.
Individual 6: XVII.9 alone seems to have had some of its layers of paint stripped, during restoration in 1987, making its exact number of paint treatments uncertain. However, it would otherwise almost certainly have had 8 to 10 treatments and thus been in either sub-group 3 or 4.
Little research seemed to have been done previously on the paint of the royal heads from the Line of Kings. Catherine Hassall examined the 'royal' heads, analysed samples and reported on the evidence for repainting. Hassall concluded that most heads had been repainted only three or four times. By comparison most of the wooden horses had been repainted twice as often or more. The heads probably needed less redecoration as a result of them being better protected against dirt and damage by the helmets which encased them.
Unlike any of the horses, however, several of the 'royal' heads were stripped of paint and varnished approximately a hundred years ago. Analysis confirmed that two of the four stripped heads examined were definitely once painted in lifelike colours, and that one of the others probably was. For the fourth example, no conclusive evidence could be found. The analysis confirmed that the heads were mostly painted only at the front. However, this did not apply to William III (XVII.45), for some reason unknown. Perhaps its maker, Nicholas Alcock, was given different instructions, or the head was intended to displayed without a helmet covering it.
It was also interesting to discover that in almost all cases the original paint schemes for the kings' heads were considerably paler in skin colour than the present treatment, although the 'hair' appears to have been black. In addition, the lips were not originally picked out in bright red and this was a later introduction. The other general conclusion to emerge from the study was that, unlike all except one of the horses, none of the heads examined has been repainted since the middle of the 20th century at the latest, as only lead-based paints were found.
XVII.1: Henry VIII: five paint finishes. Uniquely, it has nailed on cheek enhancements which are original. The head has been sanded down between re-paintings. From surviving fragments it was possible to tell that the original flesh tone was very pale pink. The four subsequent finishes were much redder and darker than the first.
XVII.2: Charles I: four paint finishes. Reputedly supplied by Grinling Gibbons in 1686-7, its ground layer is lead white with carbon black. The first flesh tones were pale, tinted with red lake & vermillion. Later schemes used red ochre, producing muddy, darker tones.
XVII.3: Charles II: stripped and varnished. Reputedly supplied by Grinling Gibbons in 1685-6, the paint fragments found were too small to provide useful evidence of former treatments.
XVII.40: probably Henry VII: stripped. This was the only head to reveal no traces of paint at all. However, this does not prove that it was not painted originally but rather that it has probably been stripped more thoroughly than the rest. In view of the others, this was almost definitely once painted in life-like colours.
XVII.41: Edward III: three paint finishes only. It seems not to have been sanded, showing a ground layer of lead white & chalk, followed by an original pale flesh finish of lead white tinted with vermilion. Repainting using red ochre for a darker pink was followed by its present orange-pink treatment.
XVII.43: probably Henry VI: stripped and varnished. Fragmentary paint evidence suggests a red ochre primer followed by a greyish ground and then a dark pink tinted with vermillion and red ochre. This was followed by a buff coloured scheme.
XVII.44: Henry V: stripped and varnished. However, fragments reveal a grey ground of lead white and carbon black followed by flesh pink of lead white and red ochre. There is also a later scheme using vermillion, indicating at least two finishes before it was stripped.
XVII45: William III: five paint finishes. Probably the head commissioned from Nicholas Alcock and added to the Line in 1702, this differs from the other heads in being fully painted, not just the front. The ground is lead white with a trace of red lead while the original flesh tones were pale pink, mixed from lead white and red ochre. On the fourth scheme a black beard and moustache were added, which were painted out by the present paint treatment.
XVII.47: James I: four paint finishes. The ground appears to have been white, with an original pale pink flesh tone tinted with red ochre. The head has not been sanded down and the present finish is darker in its flesh tones and pure vermillion lips.
XVII.777: William the Conqueror: four paint finishes. The ground of lead white with red and yellow ochres was grey/buff, followed by an original pale buff flesh tone. The head has not been sanded, showing an almost white re-paint, followed by a strong brown/pink treatment and then its present pink scheme.

text: Okay, this problem is getting progressively worse and has me stumped. 2004 1500 Z71 4WD, 5.3L 323k miles. The sound is a clunk, which honestly most resembles a sound like a U-joint wearing out from the rear of the truck, but only happens when first starting out from a stop and sometimes the 1st-2nd gear shift. After that, no clunk. Even if I drive down the road and try to tap the gas while moving, no clunk. I try moving the driveshaft and pinion and nothing. Now, you can also feel it a little when driving. It feels like a slight hesitation from the rear end. There is no delay, but it feels like what a sloppy rear end feels like. Sometimes when I roll to a stop, about half a second letter, it actually feels like something is releasing or delayed stop in the rear of the truck. Obviously the truck doesn't move, but it feels like something is delayed when the truck stops. I know it's a crappy explanation, but it's the best I can do. Now, I wouldn't put it past the rear end being worn out (323k miles) but here is what baffles me. Now I will preface this is that gears are a weak spot for my trouble shooting. Any other part of the car, I can do it. Gears...I suck at. These sounds and feels only happen when the truck is unloaded or very lightly loaded in the bed. If I put a yard of dirt or I'm pulling a trailer, absolutely no sounds, delays, clanks, anything. In fact, just got back from hauling a car 400 miles yesterday and the rear was smooth as pudding. The rear end is also not whining at all in reverse (which I always used as a tell tale sign of a worn rear end). Some one once told me that these Chevy's can start to bind in the rear springs (at the bushing perhaps), so I'm wondering if that's my problem, or if it still is the rear end. Any suggestions? - - - Updated - - - I did just find this...I may give it a try to see. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=67963

Sculptures by Luis Guerrero
UTSA sponsors sculpture exhibit made from chrome car bumpers
(Jan. 21, 2005)--The University of Texas at San Antonio, the Secretaria de Relaciones Exteriores, the Consulate General of Mexico in San Antonio and the Instituto de Mexico present a sculpture installation by Luis Guerrero, "Vida de Perro de Otro Mundo (The Life of a Dog from Another World)," from Jan. 27 to March 6 at the Instituto de Mexico Casa Mexicana, 600 HemisFair Park.
An opening reception, free and open to the public, is 7-9 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 27. Exhibit hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Tuesday-Friday.

The exhibit, curated by UTSA art specialist Arturo Almeida, features 15 dog sculptures in installations with dog houses, plants, bones and food dishes to provide a complete picture of a dog's life. The one-of-a-kind sculptures by Guerrero are constructed from chrome car and truck bumpers, chains, tire tools, hammerheads and other metal parts found by the artist or bought in junkyards.
A San Antonio native, Guerrero combines his understanding of the Mexican-American community with his talent to breathe life into scrap metal, transforming thoughts, myths and memories into original art sculptures.
"My first piece 15 years ago was modeled after my dog, Chester," said Guerrero. "I buy the bumpers and then saw and weld the metal to make the sculptures. They look like they are from outer space or another world."
He says old Chevrolet vans and trucks have the best chrome for his purposes. Each sculpture is slightly more than a foot high and a foot long. The legs are made of chains and each sculpture is on casters. Two of Guerrero's sculptures are part of the UTSA art collection on display in the Durango Building Southwest Room at the Downtown Campus.
Guerrero works out of his Ay Chispas studio in Southtown at 1913 S. Flores St. ("Ay Chispas" is Spanish for "Ouch, sparks!") Gallery hours are 10 a.m.-4 p.m., the second Saturday each month. For more information, contact Guerrero at email@example.com or (210) 885-4257.

Product Updates!
The Riparium Supply product line has a couple of important new developments. Visit our online store catalog page to find out more:
Mushroom-head Fasteners: The Trellis Rafts and Hanging Planters are now equipped with mushroom-head fasteners, which replace the hook & loop fasteners that were previously included in the product packs.
These durable plastic fasteners maintain a much stronger bond than hook & loop and, significantly, each individual piece can mate with any other piece, a feature that greatly facilitates the positioning of Trellis Rafts in the riparium composition.
Plastic Planter Labels: There are hundreds of species and varities of emergent aquatic plants that can grow in a planted riparium. Unless kept with plant specimens, identification data can be easily lost. This potential hazard is especially important to keep in mind when growing the emersed forms of aquarium plants, which are often quite different from the immersed forms. We found a plastic planter label that fits perfectly in the Hanging Planter cups.
The label is slid into the space between the inside rear surface of the planter cup and the planter screen. The very top of the label is printed with black ink so that it is visually obscured against the dark aquarium background. The blank rear surface of the label has plenty of room for plant variety information, which can be written down with pencil or fine-point permanent marker.

Paramus cop shot during undercover drug buy in Garfield expected to recover
It was supposed to be a $400 marijuana purchase that was part of a sting operation conducted by undercover police officers. But three alleged dealers, authorities said, tried to rob an undercover officer and triggered a shootout Tuesday afternoon in the parking lot of a Garfield shopping center filled with people, including teenagers on spring break.
Related: Garfield lot where cop shot has reputation as favorite spot for drug dealers
When it was over, a Paramus police officer and one suspect were in the hospital with gunshot wounds, and three suspects, including the injured shooter, were under arrest, Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli said in a news conference at Hackensack University Medical Center.
The officer, who was not identified, was assigned to the prosecutor's narcotics task force and had been in the process of buying marijuana from a suspect inside his police-issued undercover vehicle, which was parked near a Marshalls store, when a second man walked up to the driver's window, pointed a gun at him, and said, "Give me everything that you have," Molinelli said.
The prosecutor said that undercover officers are taught to give in to such demands, but that this time the alleged gunman, Rafael Angel Vasquez, 25, of Passaic, became "aggressive," leading the unarmed officer to grab the gun. Other police officers, who were nearby monitoring the sale, then descended on the location and shot the gunman after he shot the officer in the right hip and left lower leg, Molinelli said.
Vasquez faces an attempted murder charge and the other suspects, Melvin Guzman, 19, of Garfield and Patrick Morel, 21, of Clifton, face first-degree charges related to the shooting, Molinelli said. The prosecutor called it a "planned robbery," adding that he does not believe the suspects ever intended to go through with the drug sale.
He said the officer made arrangements to complete a drug sale at the shopping center on Passaic Street. Guzman, he said, was sitting in the passenger seat of the officer's car when the shooting occurred, and Morel fled in the dealers' car, but was caught a short time later by state police on the Garden State Parkway near the Essex Toll Plaza.
The officer was in stable condition at Hackensack University Medical Center after undergoing surgery Tuesday afternoon. He suffered two fractures in his lower left leg, but his hip was not fractured, said Hackensack University Medical Center's chairman of emergency services, Joseph Feldman. Molinelli said the officer was expected to make a full recovery.
Molinelli said the officer would not be identified because he is expected to continue working undercover. He has been a member of the Paramus Police Department for nine years and previously has worked undercover for the Prosecutor's Office, Molinelli said. As is typical for such operations, he said, the officer was not carrying a gun or a badge and was not wearing a protective vest.
Vasquez underwent surgery at St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in Paterson after being shot in the left arm and the left leg, Molinelli said.
Patrons of the shopping center, which is anchored by a Walmart, said they heard up to five shots fired in rapid succession, then saw two men lying on the ground. One of the men was bleeding profusely from his right leg, they said. Police from Garfield, Wallington and the Bergen County Police responded.
Students on spring break were at the shopping center, and the shooting caused some panic in Marshalls, where shoppers pleaded with employees to lock the doors, fearing that the shooter would enter the store. A cashier, Carlos Loyola, 19, said he locked the doors.
Kaniya Beauvoir, 17, of Lodi said the man with the leg wound, who was wearing khaki pants and a blue-hooded sweat shirt, looked up at her and asked her for water as she stood on a hill above the parking lot. She said police officers were there to aid him within seconds. The other man, she said, was wearing a blue shirt.
"I think it's crazy that of all places it happened here," she said. "It sounded like he unloaded a full clip. Who does that? It's the middle of the day and there are kids around."
Other witnesses said they also saw two men lying on the ground shortly after they heard between three and five shots, which they said sounded like popping. Brianna Colon and Angie Salazar, both 17-year-olds from Garfield, said that one of the men was bleeding from the leg and had blood on his face.
"Yeah, I'm traumatized," Colon said.
Paramus Mayor Richard LaBarbiera, addressing a council meeting Tuesday night, described the shooting as "scary."
"Keep him, as well as all men of law enforcement, in your prayers," LaBarbiera said of the injured officer.
Molinelli said it is not unusual for undercover officers to have weapons pulled on them, and that they typically turn over whatever cash they have on them, knowing that other detectives are standing by to make an arrest.
"But this time the man with the gun got aggressive," Molinelli said. "The advance team standing by got distress signals from the officer and rushed the car. The gunman fired the first shot at the Paramus police officer and detectives returned fire."
He said the gunman's aggressive behavior led to a "scuffle," but did not go into details about that behavior. He also did not say how the officer signaled the other detectives. But he said that at least seven plainclothes detectives were standing by in three groups during the operation, adding that they reacted to the situation "perfectly."
He said such operations involving municipal police and county detectives happen "every day, every night, all the time." He said that the location of drug deals in sting operations typically are dictated by drug dealers and often are in public places. Such deals are never done in a dealer's car, he said, adding that law enforcement prefers not to be in a car at all.
"We prefer to do it out in the open," he said. "They know that when it's done in the parking lot like this there are civilians and they have to be careful."
At the news conference, Molinelli was asked to explain how a shooting stemmed from what apparently began as a small drug deal, and whether the suspects attempted the robbery believing they might get only $400.
"That's it," he said. "People do amazing things today. This is the world we live in. … We all were lucky today."

Some of my bottom boards are flippable - one side is an IPM screened bottom board for powdered sugar shake testing for varroa mites, the other is a divider-friendly bottom board with moldings into which the hive partitions fit. Each has it's own 1" entry pointing a different direction - the middle compartment points East, the right compartment exits and enters South, the left compartment exits and enters North.
I make 3 narrow inner covers that slip in between the dividers. A standard telescoping top goes over the whole thing.
Now for the kicker...there is also a slot down the middle of the short ends, allowing me to use only one hive partition, and making a 2 x 5-frame double-nuc arrangement. Of course, that means another bottom board, and half-inner covers. Obviously, I love woodwork.
Almost all of my boxes are made like this - 10-frame medium Langstroths with 3 vertical, 17/64" wide (so the 1/4" ply slips easily) x 3/16" deep (half the width of the frame shelf) slots running down the inside of the short ends. So the cool feature is that any box can be used for a standard 10-framer, a 2 x 5-frame double nuc, a 3 x 3-frame mating nuc, or a 7-3 frame queen isolation egg laying box for queen rearing. A 2-gallon Mann Lake feeder and some hive dummies allow me to make very close to ideal volume for bees to live in from 1 to 10 frames (11 frames if I'm using 1.25" wide frames instead of 1.375" wide - closer to original beespace). Additionally all boxes will soon be 6 5/8" mediums, so any frame in any box, and never more that 51 lbs! I love this setup!
I'm in the process of cutting down my deeps into 6 5/8" medium boxes - it goes slow, as I'm building the medium 6 1/4" x 1.25" wide frames and getting them drawn out, phasing out my deep frames. My goal is all medium boxes and all 11-frame medium broods, about half small-cell foundation and half foundationless frames, and 10-frame honey boxes (I'd use 9, but the frames are 1.25" wide - not very good support for heavier honey frames if you're spinning them).
A lot of my boxes now have 6 cork holes in them, for when they are in 3x3 arrangement and mating season gets hot. I do keep a good supply of corks! But I still have to brand my boxes to keep them mine! Go figure.

Margaret McEntire, president and chief executive officer of Candy Bouquet International, delivered the keynote address at Pulaski Technical College's commencement ceremony Thursday, May 19, at Alltel Arena.
