The Admission Process
Requirements for admission:
The following is a list of items needed to move forward in the process. If parents need help with tuition, they should contact us for options available. Different payment options are available to those who can establish a valid hardship; all financial awards are subject to availability.
1. The parent talks to the Admission department and is asked a series of questions about the child. This is referred to as the student's profile.
2. RVCA requires parents to call other programs similar to RVCA, a list of which will be provided for the parent. This is RVCA's way of remaining ethical. This is a very vulnerable time for parents and RVCA wishes to assist them in doing the best thing for their child. RVCA would love to be of assistance to each family, but RVCA's goal is to have the family feel a peace about the decision they make on behalf of their child. The families are more important to RVCA than filling up their program.
3. After RVCA reviews the profile, an appointment will be set up for a time for the parents to visit the school. The parents have the opportunity to interview current students and tour the campus. If the visit goes well and the parents are satisfied with the program, RVCA and the parents can then arrange an enrollment time.
4. The parents tour the school and, if they decide to send their child to RVCA, they will receive a contract and parent handbook.
5. Parents are requested to read the materials before returning the signed documents.
6. RVCA realizes that sometimes parents may need to move quickly. RVCA can accommodate this. RVCA has admitted new students in as little as 4 hours. However, it usually takes approximately 48 hours for an admission process to take place.
California Boarding School Programs:
River Valley Christian Academy is the only Christian residential boarding school for struggling teens in California that we know of. Established in 1993, RVCA is one of the only programs that have remained strong in California with the support of county, state, and local authorities.
Financial Hardship programs:
RVCA has financial hardship programs for those who qualify. RVCA requires the family to show a legitimate need. The applications are reviewed and approved on a case-by-case situation.
Financing options:
- Cash pay
- Credit card payment
- Installments based on contracted amount
- Student loans (contact us for a list of programs available)
Transportation to RVCA:
Ask us about transportation options for your child.
Teen Rescue knows this is a very difficult time for parents. The decision a parent makes at this time affects the direction of their child and family. Teen Rescue is committed to supporting the parents and helping them to make the correct decision on behalf of their child.
Please call us for more information regarding this process at (800) 494-2200

The Art & Design Collection from the Corcoran
As part of the Corcoran College of Art + Design's integration with the George Washington University, the collections of the Corcoran College Library will relocate to GW's Gelman Library. This collection will be kept together on the 1st floor of Gelman rather than integrated with GW's general collections.
Patrons should expect some disruption to the Gelman Library 1st floor between August 20-August 31 as 40,000+ library items are delivered to the building, unpacked, and loaded onto shelves. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause patrons. The GW Libraries staff is working to minimize both the time that the Corcoran collection is unavailable and the disruption to library patrons in both locations. The Art & Design Collection from the Cororan will be available for use beginning Tuesday, September 2 and accessible during normal Gelman Library hours.
Rare or fragile works will be managed in the Special Collections Research Center on Gelman's 7th floor where they can be maintained in a controlled environment to support their longer term preservation.

While the convention center that was introduced a couple years ago did not materialize, what goes at that site is still up for debate.
"We are optimistic good things will come in time," said Mayor Jeff Scrima, referencing the seven-acre location along the Fox River between Waukesha State Bank and Northwest Barstow St. and across from the city's transit center on St. Paul Avenue.
One of the main ideas he and others at the city have now discussed is adding another loft-style building similar to the soon-to-open 42-unit Kendal Lofts at 456 W. Main St.
"It's quality housing for young professionals and baby boomers who love the social atmosphere where they can walk to a coffee house and enjoy downtown," Scrima said.
Scrima said the site, near a 450-space parking structure, is especially attractive because it's right on the city's two-mile riverwalk.
However, Bill Huelsman, of Berg Management who owns part of the property, said that option would not happen because the parcel is zoned commercial and he would not agree to a residential change.
"The property owners, including ourselves, would oppose any zoning change," Huelsman said. "You can't just willy-nilly do that. It would never happen."
If that loft-style building doesn't materialize, another option, Scrima said, could be an ice rink, similar to what Red Arrow Park offers in Milwaukee.
He said the site could be transformed into a splash pad during the summer.
Whether these development options happen is to be determined and while they would ultimately have to get governmental approval, Scrima said talks with developers have taken place.
"We've had conceptual conversations with developers and we believe those types of options will likely come forward in due time," Scrima said.
Huelsman isn't convinced about those options and said the convention center, which included conceptual plans of 25,000 square feet of meeting space and 240 guest rooms, would have been best suited for that location. Huelsman said there was an interested hotel chain that submitted an architectural rendering and site plan.
So why did the convention center momentum come to a halt when Scrima and Huelsman both said the feasibility study concluded downtown could support this project?
The project did not move forward when how to fund it became an issue.
Scrima said Berg Management asked the city for $5 million upfront in tax incremental financing.
"We were not willing to provide that," Scrima said. "We felt it was a risk too high to the taxpayers."
Huelsman said Berg Management asked for a regular tax incremental financing plan where the city would loan the developers money that would be paid back through property taxes.
Scrima, on the other hand, wanted a pay-as-you-go tax incremental financing option where the developers would have provided all of the money upfront and would be paid back through an increase in property taxes.
"There would have been no risk to the city," Scrima said, adding Berg Management declined that offer.
Huelsman said a project like this couldn't work.
"Every cost has to be accounted for initially," Huelsman said. "You can't finance it in (a pay-as-you-go) situation. That was explained over and over and (Scrima) doesn't seem to understand that. So we can't move forward until the city gets behind a regular tax incremental financing arrangement."
Scrima added, "When we asked them why they don't just put $5 million of their own money, they said it was too risky. So we responded if you feel it's too risky, we're not going to take on the risk."
However, Huelsman said "a redevelopment in an area like this doesn't work without plenty of risk from the developers and we were willing to accept enormous risk in financing the project and to attract a national chain hotel.
"The city has over the years recognized a project like this doesn't happen without a TIF. "I feel bad about it and it still could happen. But not without the city's participation," he said.

For the first time, scientists have identified an ant species thatproduces its own natural herbicide to poison unwanted plants.
Stanford University biologist Deborah M. Gordon and her co-workersdescribe the findings in the Sept. 22 issue of the journal Nature. Thediscovery was made during a four-year field study led by Stanfordgraduate student Megan E. Frederickson in the Amazon jungle of westernPeru. The research focused on devil's gardens, mysterious tracts ofvegetation that randomly appear in the Amazonian rainforest.
"Devil's gardens are large stands of trees in the Amazonianrainforest that consist almost entirely of a single species, Duroiahirsuta, and, according to local legend, are cultivated by an evilforest spirit," write Frederickson and her colleagues in Nature. "Herewe show that the ant, Myrmelachista schumanni, which nests in D.hirsuta stems, creates devil's gardens by poisoning all plants exceptits hosts with formic acid. By killing other plants, M. schumanniprovides its colonies with abundant nest sites--a long-lasting benefit,as colonies can live for 800 years."
Devilish ants
Most tropical rainforests are densely populated with a remarkablediversity of trees, vines, shrubs and wildflowers. But devil's gardensusually consist of a single plant, D. hirsuta, which happens to be thepreferred habitat of the devil's garden ant, M. schumanni.
In addition to the evil-spirit legend, two scientific proposalshave been offered to explain why devil's gardens occur. One hypothesisis that D. hirsuta trees release toxic secretions that kill competingplants--a process botanists call allelopathy. Others argue that devil'sgarden ants are responsible for controlling vegetation, either byextensive pruning or poisoning. "The idea is that by killing otherplants, the insects create a space for young D. hirsuta saplings togrow, thereby allowing the ant colony to expand as it occupies newnesting sites in the saplings," Frederickson explains.
To test this hypothesis, she and her colleagues conducted a series ofexperiments at the Madre Selva Biological Station in the Amazonianrainforest of Loreto, Peru. The research team located 10 devil'sgardens for the study, ranging in size from one to 328 D.hirsutaplants.
Two saplings of a common Amazonian tree called Cedrela odorata, or Spanish cedar, were planted inside each garden near the base of a D. hirsutatree actively patrolled by worker ants. A sticky insect barrier wasapplied to one cedar sapling to exclude ants, while the other saplingwas left untreated. The researchers planted two additionalsaplings--one treated, one untreated--about 150 feet outside of eachgarden but within the primary rainforest.
The results were immediate. Worker ants promptly attacked the untreatedsaplings, injecting a poison called formic acid into the leaves, whichbegan to die within 24 hours. "Most of the leaves on these saplingswere lost within five days, and the proportion lost was significantlyhigher than on ant-excluded saplings," the authors write. On the otherhand, cedars treated with Tanglefoot fared well, whether inside oroutside devil's gardens.
"These results show that devil's gardens are produced by M. schumanniworkers rather than by D. hirsuta allelopathy," the authors conclude.
To find out if worker ants only attack non-hostplants, the scientists decided to mimic D. hirsuta's hollow stems,called domatia, which are the ants' primary nesting sites. Artificialdomatia were constructed out of foil-wrapped test tubes partiallyfilled with cotton. Two cedar saplings, with and without artificialtubes, were planted in devil's gardens near two D. hirsuta saplings,one with and one without domatia. After 24 hours, there was significantleaf death on all of the cedar plants, but none on any D. hirsutasaplings. "We conclude that M. schumanni attacks only non-host plants,such as C. odorata, and that it does not rely on the presence ofdomatia to discriminate between its host and other plant species," theStanford team notes.
Chemical analysis revealed that the only compound produced by the ants'poison glands is formic acid, a toxin that is common in many antspecies and, in fact, got its name from formica, which is Latin forant. "Treatment of leaves with formic acid induced leaf necrosis on allthe plants we tested," the authors write. "To our knowledge this is thefirst record of an ant using formic acid as a herbicide--although it isknown to have bactericidal and fungicidal properties."
The ants employ a very effective system of lethal injection, notesGordon, associate professor of biological sciences at Stanford. "Thesystem harnesses two fundamental tools:formic acid, which many ant species use for other purposes, and thebasic circulatory system of all vascular plants," she says.
A census of the rainforest from 2002 to 2004 revealed thatdevil's gardens grew by 0.7 percent per year. "Using this growth rate,we estimate that the largest devil's garden in our plot, with 351plants, is 807 years old," the authors conclude. They estimate that atypical garden is tended by a single ant colony with as many as 3million workers and 15,000 queens, adding that the presence of multiplequeens "undoubtedly contributes to colony longevity."
Niche construction
"The cultivation of devil's gardens by ants is an excellentexample of niche construction," Frederickson says. "By killing plantsof other species, the ant promotes the growth and establishment of D.hirsuta, thereby gaining more nest sites."
The plants also benefit by increasing their biomass andeliminating the competition, says co-author Michael J. Greene, a formerSanford postdoctoral fellow, now assistant professor of biology at theUniversity of Colorado-Denver. "This work is a truly remarkable exampleof how effectively ants can manipulate their environment in order topromote their own survival," he adds.
A devil's garden begins when a M. schumanni queen colonizes a single D.hirsuta tree, the authors write: "Over time, D. hirsuta saplings growwithin the vegetation-free area created by the ants, and the ant colonyexpands to occupy them. The devilry of M. schumanni today provideshomes for ants in the future."
Frederickson is conducting new field studies to determine whichchemical cues the ants use to discriminate between host plants andother species. She also has begun searching for devil's gardens inother parts of the western Amazon to see how widespread the herbicidephenomenon is. "Megan's work reveals a system that is amazing becausethe ants exert so much control over their environment, creatingsingle-species stands in one of the most diverse places on Earth,"Gordon says.
Funding for the Nature study was provided by the Stanford Center forEvolutionary Studies, the Stanford Center for Latin American Studies,Sigma Xi, the Stanford Graduate Fellowships Program and the NaturalSciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.

Good review, been looking at getting some of these. Question though, how do they compare to the older 595s?
Similarly priced now...
A very good question. Sadly we didn't have a set to give a direct A/B comparison at review. The grille on the old 595s is nicer, but these do have a new "family" of drivers. I think I'd keep an eye out for a clearance bargain on the HD 595 - not that they pop up often, mind.
Both sets offer the great trademark Sennheiser sound signature, but the HD 595 have less of a sense of compromise about them (even though they are still obviously a rung or two below the HD580/600/650).
The article mentions that the cables can be bought separately but I have been unable to find a 3.5mm -> 2.5mm that will a) fit and b) have the groves in the mould. Do you have a part number or anything? I tried the 091581 - 1 x HD 200 Cable 3m jack 2.5mm to 3.5mm jack but the jack won't even fit the hole on the headphones.
which model do you recommend between hd 558 and hd 598? I'm undecided and I can not try them. Thanks
Can't compare to any of the other models but I have owned these for over 12 months and the sound is incredible brought some old songs back to life. Also very comfortable which helps when it comes to ear fatigue.
I've got some 558's coming in the mail right now. You can do a mod which consists of taking the drivers out and removing a piece of foam tape and the sound stage is supposed to be on par with the 598's. I know your post was over a year ago but if you've already went ahead and bought either pair let me know what you think of them. I'm waiting for mine atm so I'm excited. As it stands right now everywhere I've looked and read up on is saying the 558's are the go-to headphones for under $200 and then the foam mod pushes them up to 598 quality which is something I'm going to try out.
i think it is the '555's that can have the foam taken out and supposedly would be the same as the 558's i would not do this to these as the drivers are different to the 598's from what i understand so u would be wasting your time.. anyway i don't think the 558's has the foam in the 555's had to have it as a dampener. these don't need that from what i gather,

This curriculum was created in response to the imminent threat of climate change. A study published in 2004 by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences predicts that California alone will lose 70-90% of their snowpack by 2090 as a result of global warming (Hayhoe et al., 2004). Educational research has shown that global warming is a complex topic, misunderstood by teachers and students alike (Rye, Rubba, and Wiesenmayer, 1997; Papadimitriou, 2004). In order to bring the concepts and solutions into classrooms, this curriculum will be available for download off of the Internet.
The lessons within this curriculum were crafted for fourth and fifth grade students due to the connections found between global warming and the state standards for these grades. The unit should be delivered during the life science or earth science focus of the school year. One lesson, the Student Home Energy Audit, offers students the ability to practice graphing and should coincide with a math unit on graphing and charting. The entire unit will take approximately five to seven weeks to deliver depending on extension choices. Most lessons will be delivered as language arts lessons with a science focus; there are two science experiments and one math lesson.

stolen ps4!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Re: stolen ps4![ Edited ]
Unfortunately there is nothing we can do here to help with your problem. What I recommend doing is changing your password via a PC so whoever now has your PS4 cannot use your account and purchase games. More info on doing that here:
You may also want to deactivate that PS4 as well to ensure the thieves cannot use the content:. More info here.
Hope this helps.
Re: stolen ps4!
My PS4 almost got stolen, i found it on the ground right near my door, the door was also open all night. There was foot steps on the snow. Don't know why they didn't take it, and just left it there on the ground.
That's why i set up an alarm system in my home, my German Shepard is good help too. I also keep my shotgun handy too.
Re: stolen ps4!
I know that you can in fact that there is something you can do Sony. And I also know that you neglect to on purpose. If i stole a console from your factory tell me what you would do? Then tell me what you do when the police files a subpoena for the information needed to track down a console through your own channel even.
Recently my PS4 was also stolen. As former CSI for military I wasn't to upset since I know how easy it is to track down. I have the S/N and MAC address of the console which is all that is needed to find it.. I filed a police report and then requested a subpoena for the IP address connected to the MAC address through the Sony channels that are provided to the police force. Now Sony should be replying back to the detective with the IP that is the PS4 is connected to so that we can then subpoena the internet provider for the physical address.
But, guess what part of that breaks down. Yeah the part where Sony does it's part. And as I was told by the detective and confirmed through research online is that after submitting the subpoena that Sony just falls off the face of the earth. Is it because you know that we will just mindlessly go pick up another system? Rather have two systems sold than help recover one and make a happy customer? This is too bad. In my house there are three Sony TVs, three PS3s, two Sony phones with two more on preorder, some Sony cameras, well one less since one of those got stolen too, and God knows how much more money thrown your way.
Before anyone states that I do not know if the System has been connected to the net or not, I do. I waited to change my account password until I I saw my name go online and for some account activity to take place. I did change my CC info to a one that would not work. After my account went active again then I changed my password. All Sony needs to do is give the police the IP address that that console connected to network from and then the Police can finish thier job in getting it back.

COLUMBIA, Mo. - A Columbia massage therapist has been arrested after being accused of doing more than just massages.
Columbia police arrested massage therapist Jack Dillender after two women reported being touched in the breasts and genital areas during their massages.
It happened at his business called The Way of Massage, at 601 Business Loop 70 West.
ABC 17 News did some digging, and found out Dillender hasn't had a business license since July of 2010.
City officials were surprised to learn about his business, and said they would be looking into possibly pressing charges for operating without a license.
He also is facing sexual misconduct charges for the reports of the inappropriate touching by the two women.
The women reported the misconduct in September of 2013 and last month. But online reviews alleged Dillender was behaving inappropriately during massages several years before.
One review, posted on Yelp in 2012, said," The line was crossed multiple times and I WILL NEVER GO BACK!"
Another review from 2013 said "Ladies, be prepared to defend your boundaries while on the table."
ABC 17 News reporter Dana Clemens went to Dillender's house to find out what he had to say about the accusations.
Clemens asked him if he ever felt like he crossed any boundaries. He paused for a long time before saying, "No."
But when she asked if he saw where the women were coming from when they went to police with these accusations, he admitted he could see where there could be some confusion.
Dillender said he developed his own pain release technique of massage.
So Clemens asked him if he ever had to get near a woman's private areas to be effective. Dillender said he did not, and that he could steer clear of them.
But when Clemens asked if he does steer clear of those areas, Dillender replied, "No comment."
The Way of Massage is now closed, and Dillender said it will remain closed.
He is facing misdemeanor charges, but the charges have not been filed yet.

John Stephen Casement
Jan. 19, 1829
Ontario County
New York, USA
Dec. 13, 1909
Lake County
Ohio, USA
Civil War Union Brevet Brigadier General, Railroad Pioneer. Born in Geneva, New York, in 1829, he and his family moved to the Ann Arbor, Michigan area when he was about 15 years old. At the age of 18, he began work as a common laborer for the Michigan Central Ralroad. By 1853, he was a contractor laying track in Ohio. He and his brother Daniel Casement built railroads in the northeast United States until the outbreak of the Civil War. He joined the Union Army in 1861, serving first as Major of the 7th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, then as Colonel and commander of 103rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. During his service he became well acquainted with Major General Grenville M. Dodge, with who he would share future railroad developing endevors. He was brevetted Brigadier General, US Volunteers on January 25, 1865 for his war service. In 1865, the Casement brothers were hired by the Union Pacific Railroad to build track in Nebraska, with Daniel being responsible for payrolls and accounting, and Jack in charge of the actual construction. Together, they supervised the laying of all the track from Fremont, Nebraska, west to Promontory Summit where the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads met to form the first transcontinental railroad. Their crews, made up of many former military personal, were run like an army, and he was known by the workers as "General Jack." On the morning of May 10, 1869, at a ceremony planned to connect the railroads, Leland Stanford, Governor of California and president of the Central Pacific, and Thomas C. Durant, vice-president of the Union Pacific, were to pound in the golden spike with silver hammers. Both men proved unable to hit the spike, so John Casement stepped up to do the job, accompanied by much cheering from the workers surrounding him. In later years, he and his brother continued to build railroads all over the western hemisphere. His wife, Frances Jennings Casement, who spent most of her married life separated from her husband, founded the Painesville Equal Rights Association in 1883 and served as president from 1885 to 1888 of the Ohio Woman Suffrage Association. She was inducted into the Ohio Women's Hall of Fame in 2001. Her influence on Jack Casement was revealed when tentatively accepting the contract from General Dodge (the then Union Pacific chief engineer), he was quoted, "I live in a democratic household, but my wife generally outvotes me."

The nonpartisan charade
On the media's growing carelessness in concealing its biases.
With the same insight, depth, and incisiveness we came to expect from The New York Times under his editorship, Bill Keller, now a columnist for the paper, recently applied his analytical powers to what he (or his headline writer) called "The Politics of Economics in the Age of Shouting." Becomingly, he began by describing the humility he feels at a wonderful institution like The New York Times, surrounded as he is by "a legion of Times reporters, editors, and columnists who know more than I will ever know about business and economics. (Look! Right over there: a Nobel-prizewinning economist!)." He didn't need to mention that this coyly alluded-to cynosure of the editorial pages was Professor Paul Krugman—presumably one of those "few economists respected for the integrity of their science and their patience with economic illiterates" to whom Keller had "reached out" in se ...

Foul odor in bathroom sink
Hello! There is a foul odor coming from our bathroom sink. It happens when I first turn on the water and after a few seconds it goes away. I have had 2 plumbers come out - one said it was the water heater and I needed to replace it. The second plumber said it was just dirty pipes and to pour Drainright down the sink and let it sit overnight. I did that and that didn't work either. I have read DIY posts on the same issue and those make more sense, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
First turn on the hot water and pour it into a container. Don't let any water go into the drain.
Turn hot off.
Turn on cold water and pour that into another container. Don't let any water go into the drain. Turn that off.
Take both containers outside the room. Remember which is hot, which is cold.
Now smell both containers. Does either smell?
And go back into the bathroom and smell the drain. Does it smell?
That will pinpoint where the problem is coming from.
Is there a p-trap under sink??? If there is to see if its working put stopper in sink and cover drain vent with tape see if smell goes away.
I'm not a professional., But I did stay at Holiday Inn Express last night.
if the sink has an overflow in it (a outlet usually nesr the top oinside of the bowl. when the sink fills it prevents the water from overflowing onto the floor. soap and water over time will foul the inside of the overflow and emit an odor. Try usung a bottle brush with a degreesing agent. use safety glasses . Just a thought

text: I have a 2002 GMC Yukon XL 1500 5.3L flex fuel model with 150,000 miles. It runs rough at an idle and cuts in and out going down the road, especially uphills, but smooths out some when i really seem to get after it and kick it down a gear or two. I borrowed a code reader and got the following codes: P1639 - 5-VOLT REFERENCE B CIRCUIT FAULT P0300 - MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRE P0332 - KNOCK SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW BANK 2 P0452 - EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM PRESSURE SENSOR LOW INPUT I have done the following: replaced spark plugs replaced fuel filter replaced fuel pressure regulator replaced intake manifold gaskets added fuel injector cleaner (twice) to gas replaced passenger side upstream O2 sensor After i replaced the fuel filter, a friend let me borrow a fuel pressure gauge and we were getting about 45 psi. I have not checked it since i replaced the fuel pressure regulator. It feels like its starving for fuel. Some suggestions i have gotten are as follows: Check catalytic converters possible injector problem? O2 sensors? Fuel pump? Would the knock sensor code cause the engine to run rough and misfire?? Please, any advice, suggestions or recommendations appreciated. John

Have your kids ever gotten head lice?

It's okay. You can tell us. There is no shame in having kids with lice. Really...

Lice are everywhere. In every city, community, and school district. From the richest to the poorest.

If you have kids and they are around other kids, they are at risk for getting head lice.

Avoiding Head Lice

Although the focus of parents and pediatricians is usually on treating head lice infestations, in this day of resistant or hard-to-treat head lice, it is probably even more important to teach your kids to avoid head lice.

And since head lice can't jump from child to child or crawl into your home, preventing head lice infestations isn't as hard as it may sound.

Here's How To Avoid Head Lice

You don't have to live in a bubble to avoid head lice, but it can help to:

Encourage your kids to avoid sharing things that have been on or near another child's head, including hairbrushes, combs, hats, scarves, towels, helmets, pillows, sleeping bags, etc.

Teach your kids to hang up their coat and hat on an individual hook, or some other separate area, when they get to school, instead of just throwing them in a pile with other classmates' clothing.

Regularly clean things that your child's head has direct contact with, such as car seats, pillows, head phones, etc., if you are sharing these items with other children.

Review some head lice pictures to help you understand what you are looking for in your child's hair, including live lice and nits (lice eggs).

Check your child for nits and live head lice at least once a week, keeping in mind that although you may find head lice anywhere, they are often found at the back of your child's head, near his neck and behind his ears.

Recognize the symptoms of head lice, which includes an itchy scalp and small red bumps or sores on the back of your child's neck and scalp. Don't panic, though, if your child must be treated for head lice.

More Tips On Preventing Head Lice

Ponytails, hairspray, and special shampoos and conditioners probably aren't going to keep your kids from getting lice, but these other tips might, including that you:

Be extra vigilant for head lice if there have been frequent reports of head lice at your child's school or in your child's classroom.

Review all of these head lice prevention steps before and after sleepovers, school field trips, or when your child goes to camp.

Wash your child's hair with a regular shampoo and hair conditioner and then check your child's hair after you rinse and dry it, but while it is still damp. The hair conditioner can make it easier to comb through your child's hair.

Remove all of the nits on your child's head when your child has lice, since missing some nits (lice eggs) is a common way for kids to have a persistent infection, as lice keep hatching and keep the infestation going.

Don't hesitate to tell other people, especially the parents of kids with which your child has close contact, that they should likely check their own kids for lice. Your child might get lice again, even after being properly treated, if the kids around her aren't treated too.

What To Know About Avoiding Head Lice

Most importantly, remember that kids most commonly get head lice through direct head-to-head contact with other children. Watching school-age kids play and interact with each other, you know that can't be eliminated, so concentrate on catching lice infestations early and do what you can to encourage your kids to not share objects that touch their heads.

GUI based client-server application with implementation of suzuki kasami algorithm
This project was successfully completed by Javagurupk for $120 USD in 3 days.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project Budget$30 - $250 USD
Completed In3 days
Total Bids11
Project Description
You are required to implement the following steps using GUI.
When the server is started, it will open a file ([url removed, login to view]) which will have a mapping of hostnames to passwords. The server will store this mapping in some storage object. You may use any type of structure (arrays, arraylists, vectors etc.) to store this information. And perform authentication.
1. One of the clients creates a new group. All the five clients must join the same group.
2. Once the group is created, the server must send to each client in the group, an array of addresses and ports of all other clients in the group.
3. Client that creates the group has the token at the beginning of the program.
4. Clients use this information when implementing the token passing algorithm. (Sending chat messages to the group still happen via the server.)
5. This chat group must have an organized conversation. This means there must be one token floating around the group. Only the client holding the token must be able to send messages on the group chat.
6. Along with the message, the client must present its badge (indicating it has the token) to the server when sending a message. If Badge = true, then the client has the token. If Badge = false, then the client does not have the token. If a client tries to talk to the server without the token, server must send the following message to that client: "Please acquire token." Assume there are no malicious clients who would try to send a dummy token to the server.
7. The chat messages are passed similar to the multicast as in the previous lab assignment, i.e., chat messages go from client to server to rest of the group.
8. There must be ACQUIRE TOKEN and SEND TOKEN buttons next to SEND button in your chat client GUI. Any client/s that want/s to send messages must send a REQ to all the other clients and wait. All the clients must update their request array.
9. Once the client holding the token is done sending messages to the group, it must send the token (last array, tail of Q) over to the head of the Q.

text: Having a problem with troubleshooting on my 06 STi. did an oil change approx 500 miles ago, and while driving a few days ago, my oil light came on in the car.... drove 3 or 4 more miles so i could park it in a safe place, and when i crunk it back up, turbo sounded like it had a million pieces of broken metal inside. Kind of guessed it was an oil pump failure that caused the low oil pressure, which resulted in the turbo failure. Tonight i removed the turbo to discover about 1/4 inch of shaft play, and a few bearings rolling around inside. Checked my oil filter for brassy or copper colored metal shavings, to ensure no engine damage was caused. Also removed old oil pump tonight, but after messing around with it for a few minutes, it seems to be in the exact working condition as the newly purchased pump.... My question is, can a turbo failure cause a sudden oil pressure drop? And if not, does anyone have any ideas where i should start looking for my oil issue? Tomorrow i am lifting the motor in order to remove the oil pan and check the oil pickup line to ensure it is in good working condition. I could really use some help on this one...my car is in a million pieces! Ready to get this resolved... thanks for the help

Marine's car bursts into flames
ONSLOW COUNTY - A Marine said he was driving his car when he noticed smoke inside the cabin. He got out minutes before the car burst into flames.
Fire officials said it happened shortly before one p.m. Monday on Burgaw Highway, near the intersection of Gurganus Road. That's in the Onslow County portion of Maple Hill.
Firefighter David Hill, with the Haws Run Volunteer Fire Department, said the vehicle was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived. Hill said the flames were so high that the fire spread to the nearby woods.
Investigators said it's difficult to pinpoint a cause.
"It could be a number of things," Hill said. "It's hard to say with a vehicle fire, especially with that much damage. It could be electrical, it could be something with the motor gone wrong."
The Marine said he's grateful that no one was injured.

Missional Without The Church?
Tony Jones recently posted some harsh critiques of homeschooling ("Death to Homeschooling!" and "Why Homeschoolers Don't Understand Missional") that have been generating quite a bit of backlash and conversation. Jamie Arpin-Ricci, for instance, has offers some great thoughts in response: "Missional Implications of Education."I agree with Tony that there some screwed up thoughts driving the way that some folks do homeschooling, but as a number of people have noted (including Mark Van Steenwyk) there are a wide range of ideologies that compel people to homeschool, and in that sense … [Read more...]

So editor Pete Clifton invited David - himself a former journalist - to spend the day with the team.
And when he came up with a few ideas of his own, Pete was keen to try them out.
The result is this trial edition of Pick of the Week, a selection of the BBC News website's output, as chosen by our guest editor.
Of course, we already have Week At A Glance for readers to catch up on the big news stories of the past few days.
But David told us he was impressed with the many ways we tell stories on the website and thought we should showcase the best.
"I wanted people to have a quick way to find the best the BBC had to offer," he said.
"A page like this gives people the chance to see a wide variety of stories, pictures and interactive graphics that they may not have seen the first time round."
This page shows some of the things David considers worth revisiting.

PVC Bonding with Primer? Just Cement?
59 Attachment(s)
Correction: Title should read PVC..
My dad just put in a 1" T on his water line coming into his house. (It is regular PVC..) He is putting in sprinklers and is coming off the main water line to the house. He primed, then cemented each joint. Then let it sit for 2 hours.. We turned on the water and POOF. One of the joints opened up.
I've never used primer before on brand new Sch 40 PCV. Do you use Primer?
The primer doesn't say how much to add, How long to wait before cement, or mention wiping it off, etc.. Is primer really ever needed?
How long should we have waited? Pressure is around 80 PSI..
Also, I didn't think PVC was used for potable water, is it just Hot water you can't use it for?
You use primer and then glue on PVC. Set time depends on temperature but a minute or two is usually enough. I suspect that if it blew apart he forgot to glue that joint or used way too much glue. A very thin light coat is all you need.
Glue and primer will make the strongest joint. I agree that the joint that blew apart was not properly done, as even just the glue should have held for a while. My waterlines in Florida were all PVC, except for the hot water. Where I live in Arkansas, the line from the meter to the house is PVC.
Do not drop PVC pipe. While it has a high PSI rating it is still brittle and dropping it can cause invisible damage.
The pipe and the fitting should both be clean and dry. Avoid touching the freshly cleaned fitting and pipe as oil from your skin can prevent a good solid connection. Do NOT sand either one of them with sandpaper as is often recommended. PVC uses an interference fit and sanding it throws that fit off. When you cut the pipe it is important that it be cut as square as possible. Once cut, the edge of the pipe should be chamfered at a 10-15 degree angle. A lot of people skip that step but almost all fitting manufacturers deem is necessary. Ridgid makes a tool for it.
Prime the fitting and the pipe. There is some debate as to whether you should let the primer dry or apply the "glue" right away. Apply glue to the inside of the fitting and the pipe. Insert the pipe into the fitting and turn it at least a quarter turn as you do so. This makes sure the glue is dispersed within the fitting properly. Inserting the pipe straight into the fitting can cause lines in the glue which weakens the weld. Hold the fitting for 30 seconds to prevent push out. Wipe excess glue off the fitting and pipe. The glue dissolves the plastic causing the two pieces to become permanently bonded.
This method should create a nice strong weld between the two pieces that is stronger than the pipe itself.
Since this is you house mainline I'd recommend leaving the water turned off for as long as possible. Both ends of the pipe are sealed and so the weld will take longer to cure than a pipe that is exposed to circulating fresh air. 24 hours would be ideal. After that turn the water on and check for leaks. I wouldn't recommend burying the pipe (if it is buried) for at least a day or two just to be sure. 1" PVC is rated for 450psi, so 80psi is nothing that will strain it.
Also, if PVC is going to be exposed to sunlight it must be painted. In my town it is code that any PVC used outdoors must be painted with latex paint. PVC is susceptible to deterioration from sunlight. It might be okay for quite sometime but eventually the sun will destroy.
Depending on the temperature you should not test your line until at least an hour has passed. :yes:
Primer and cement definitely for supply lines. for waste lines- lower pressure- some say use primer some say it is not necessary.
As someone mentioned, chamfering the edge and twisting the fitting after connection are very important.
Another thing even more important is to make sure the cement has not expired. If the cement has been sitting around for awhile and looks like gloppy gel, then toss it. The cement should be runny.

Lobo Football Team Gets a Running Start Toward 2012 Season
March 24, 2012
2012 Lobo Football Season Tickets
As soon as the whistle blew for the first period of the first day of spring football practice, the Lobos were running.
With temperatures in the 70s, the University of New Mexico football team ushered in the coach Bob Davie era a 2 hour, 20 minute workout on the practice football fields south of University Stadium on Saturday morning.
The up-tempo effort was the most noticeable aspect of Saturday's practice. No player stood around on the sidelines watching his teammates. As soon as every player finished his repetition, he ran back in line for the next repetition or exercise.
"So much of what we do is tempo-oriented," Davie said. "Half of our practice is teaching; half of our practice is tempo. The biggest thing is showing the guys what we expect and how we expect them to do it - no one getting his feelings hurt, no one taking it personally. This is how it's going to be. We won't change; we will not compromise."
The team started off with special teams drills before breaking up into individual position groups. More special teams work followed, and then the team completed the session with 10 minutes of complete offense vs. complete defense work.
"That tempo was a lot faster than what I was used to," said senior Lamaar Thomas, who played two years at Ohio State before transferring to New Mexico. "You hardly had a chance to catch your breath."
Davie told the players at the end of the practice that he appreciated their effort for the first day but said he wasn't going to make any other evaluations based on one day's worth of practice.
"This football team is starving for discipline; this football team is craving discipline," Davie said. "When I met with the players after last season, that's the one thing they told me this team needed. So we're going to learn discipline and toughness by lining it up and running the ball on offense and stopping the run on defense."
It's part of a process that Davie said he missed the most, being out coaching since 2001 - starting to build a team and getting each player to improve. He said his team can make itself better by working on the things it can control - and not worrying about anything else.
"Our plan to win has never varied," he said. "It's turnovers, it's the kicking game and no self-inflicted mistakes. The number one priority is the Lobos don't beat the Lobos."
The team returns to the field Sunday night at 5 p.m. for the second practice without pads. The first 30 minutes is open to the public. On Wednesday, the team will practice in pads.

Groton - The construction of a small neighborhood of single-family homes and duplexes that will offer independent living for those 55 and older is almost completed - and almost sold out.
Fairview, Odd Fellows Home of Connecticut is building 23 new homes on its 70-acre property that offers spectacular views of the Thames River, Gold Star Memorial Bridge and New London skyline, and 19 have been snapped up. By the time the first "members" move in later this spring, it's anticipated that contracts on the final four will have been executed.
Then Fairview will turn its attention to the second phase of Thames Edge, construction of another 17 Nantucket-inspired independent homes on its sprawling campus.
"There is strong demand for the homes and their value proposition," said James Rosenman, chief executive officer and administrator of Fairview, which was founded 122 years ago by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Grand Lodge as a nonprofit senior housing and health care provider.
Fairview is a still a nonprofit, but today, membership in the Odd Fellows is no longer a requirement for admission.
The $12 million Thames Edge development is the latest in a series of property and service upgrades at Fairview, which offers short- and long-term rehabilitation and apartment-style independent living.
But the construction of single-level homes - some detached, some duplexes - will set it apart from almost every similar provider in southeastern Connecticut.
Those 55 and older who choose to live there will pay an entry fee based on the square footage and location of their home. Fees for the first phase ranged from $225,000 to $320,000. In addition, there is a monthly fee based on square footage and the amount of the entry fee - those who pay the higher fee will pay less each month.
Members have lifetime use of their property, and when they vacate, Fairview "buys" the home back at a rate dependent on the initial entry fee. Rosenman said those who pay the top-tier entry fee will be reimbursed 90 percent of their buy-in. Those who pay a lower entrance fee will get less back.
"It's a great deal," said Rosenman, adding that in addition to a maintenance-free and worry-free lifestyle, the development will provide socialization at its clubhouse, pool and fitness center.
And members will never have to worry again about expenses such as trash collection, taxes, pest control, snow removal and utilities - that's all included in the monthly fee that on average will cost about $1,500 under the 90 percent refundable plan.
Independent living is not assisted living, but members can buy additional services already provided at Fairview off an a la carte menu, such as housekeeping, transportation, or a meal plan. And if someone at Thames Edge eventually moves to Fairview, they will be eligible for a 25 percent discount on long-term care.
Fairview's skilled nursing component has 120 beds for memory-care patients and short- and long-term rehabilitation. Rosenman said both physical and administrative changes are being made to enhance the memory-care unit, which will be relaunched in the spring.
There are also 24 independent-living apartments on the campus, similar to the Thames Edge concept, but not houses. People gravitate to independent living for various reasons, Rosenman said, sometimes because a spouse may be at Fairview.
Diversifying options at Fairview helps to make the entire facility stronger, said the administrator.
"It expands on the mission we have here and it's not putting all our eggs in one basket," he said.
Fairview has about 200 employees, and Thames Edge, which is being financed by Chelsea Groton Bank, is good for the regional economy, Rosenman said.
"This is an economic boost to the local economy, and we take that seriously," he said.
More than a century after it was started, the nonprofit is still focused on proving quality care for people with different wants and needs.
"We've always been very focused on the long term, with a long-range vision," Rosenman said. "This will help us to continue the great health care that we already have."

On the Wednesday "Today" show, Ted Koppel joined NBC's Matt Lauer in refusing to expose the lie behind the Media Matters and Democratic attack on Rush Limbaugh over "phony soldiers", choosing instead to write the controversy off as just another "foolish" thing the talk show host had said. However when asked about Dan Rather's lawsuit of CBS, the former longtime host of ABC's "Nightline" expressed sympathy: "I feel great pain for Dan."
Koppel's compassion wasn't just reserved for Rather but he extended it to criminals too, as he was invited on "Today" to promote his latest Discovery Channel documentary on overcrowded prisons. During the segment, Koppel criticized "three strikes" laws and griped about the state of prisons in this country:
"It's, it's a national problem. And again, it comes back to the subject we started on, the stupidity of the sorts of things that we debate and argue in, in our political process today. Any politician who is trying to get elected and who says, 'You know what we really need is more vocational training for prisoners, we need anger management programs.' That man or woman is not going to get elected but we should be talking about that 'cause all these people are coming back into our society again."
The following is the full segment as it occurred in the 7am half-hour of October 3 "Today" show:
Matt Lauer: "Let's bring in veteran newsman Ted Koppel who just received two news and documentary Emmy awards last week including one for lifetime achievement. First of all, congratulations on that, Ted. Nice to have you here."
Ted Koppel: "Thank you very much, thank you."
Lauer: "I watched you smiling as we were just discussing this Rush Limbaugh thing and with all due respect to the general and to Rush Limbaugh and the members of Congress, is this really, in your opinion, what Americans want their senators to be talking about on the floor of the U.S. Senate?"
Koppel: "No let's, let's have them focus on something really important like Britney Spears. I mean, no! It's ridiculous! I, I, I cannot understand. I mean this is not the first time Rush Limbaugh has said controversial things or foolish things, certainly not the first time I've said foolish things. But if, if that's the best that the U.S. Senate can, can find to debate and discuss, God help us."
Lauer: "I want to talk about your new documentary because it's something very important but I don't get you here very often so let me hit you on a couple of topics."
Koppel: "Sure."
Lauer: "Presidential politics right now. A lot being made over the fact, on the Democratic side, that Hillary Clinton is leading in a lot of the national polls and she's raising more money than Barack Obama. You've covered a lot of these races. What's important? What should we be looking at, at this stage of the game, three months out from the early primaries?"
Koppel: "Well, unfortunately, the money is important. That's what it's come down to. I mean the whole process now has been degraded to the point that whoever is up there in money and whoever is unable to raise that kind of money is effectively barred from the rest of the campaign. They're not gonna be able to keep up. It's not too late for people who are not making a ton of money, still to raise it, but unfortunately that's become the bar."
Lauer: "If you're Rudy Giuliani on the Republican side and you seem to be doing pretty well heading into these first primaries how worried should you be about the chatter that's come out, lately, from some Christian conservatives that they may go for a third party candidate, simply because they don't think Rudy is conservative enough, conservative enough on social issues?"
Koppel: "I think, I think on the Republican side there is simply has not been any, you know on the Democratic side you can say, Hillary Clinton-"
Lauer: "Broken out."
Koppel: "-is clearly the one to beat, and she, she has broken out. On the Republican side that hasn't happened so if I were Rudy Giuliani, at this point, that would disturb me."
Lauer: "Your, your new documentary is on overcrowding in the California prison system. First of all, why did you tackle this subject?"
Koppel: "Well, I mean, I think we have 2.2 million people behind bars in this country, Matt. That's more people than in any country in the world. We have more people in jail, in prison, than any other country. We have four times as many people in prison as we had 25 years ago. The overcrowding in California, which in some, in some respect, is a function of the 'three strikes and you're out' law, was intended-"
Lauer: "Because these guys are sentenced to prison terms whether they are violent or non-violent offenders."
Koppel: "Very, very long. Now the whole purpose, you, remember the Polly Klaas case, the little 12-year-old girl who was raped and then murdered. It was awful, it just outraged the whole country, it outraged voters in California. And they passed this law which now doubles the sentence for anyone who gets a second felony and then for the third felony they get 25 to life. California prisons were built to hold no more than 100,000 prisoners-"
Lauer: "What are they at 170,000 now?"
Koppel: "173,000 now. And, and the conditions are awful."
Lauer: "And 70 percent of the, of the prisoners who were released on parole return to the prison system. So you look at California but this should be, this has impact on the rest of the country."
Koppel: "It's, it's a national problem. And again, it comes back to the subject we started on, the stupidity of the sorts of things that we debate and argue in, in our political process today. Any politician who is trying to get elected and who says, 'You know what we really need is more vocational training for prisoners, we need anger management programs.' That man or woman is not going to get elected but we should be talking about that 'cause all these people are coming back into our society again."
Lauer: "As I, I prepare to let you go, Dan Rather is suing is former network, CBS, for violating his contract. I don't want to get into the case. Personally, though, how do you feel about the way this is playing out with a guy who's been a colleague of yours for a long time?"
Koppel: "It, it just hurts me. I mean, I feel great pain for Dan and you know he was with CBS for about the same length of time I was with ABC, 42, 43 years and I just hate to see a man whose career was so distinguished, you know, reaching that point right now."
Lauer: "Ted Koppel, congrats on the Emmys."
Koppel: "Thank you."
Lauer: "And that Iran documentary I watched before a recent trip I took to Iran, it was incredibly helpful and well done."
Koppel: "Well and when you do your prison story a couple of months from now."
Lauer: "I'll check this out. You're my new researcher. Ted, thanks very much. Appreciate it."
Koppel: "My pleasure."

A huge church that is usually baptist or non-denominational evangelical. The size of the church and of the parking lot might make some confuse it with an airport. It usually has a ton of money and a huge congregation willing to fork over money for whatever reason the pastor deems necessary. The church goers may seem brainwashed.

It is rather fitting that the designers behind the launch of L'Agent, the ever so slightly more demure little sister to Agent Provocateur, are Penelope and Monica Cruz. The Spanish stars have been collectors and fans of the brand for some time, while Monica fronted the campaign for autumn/winter 2012, so this continuation feels like a natural progression for all parties.
Having said that, the sense of demure restraint – and importantly comfort – of the new collection fits with a more typically British prurience than the higher-octane raunchiness of the original line. Although there is nothing workaday about the collection, much of it has been designed for something more than special occasions.
Working in conjunction with Sarah Shotton, creative director of Agent Provocateur, the sisters not only designed the collection of 16 ranges – each given a Spanish girl's name to reflect the personality it evokes – but worked to create a short campaign film, Penelope's directorial debut. "The campaign film was very personal and important for me," she says. "It was the first time that I directed and it was a very interesting experience. They gave me all the freedom and I was able to tell the story I wanted to tell."
For the film, Penelope used a cast of women of "all shapes and ages" to let women know "that this brand is for everyone". "Agent Provocateur is known for pushing the boundaries," says Monica of her involvement in the project.
"Starting something new that my sister and I have been so heavily involved in has been so rewarding. I really wanted to create lingerie that women can feel sexy, but still feel comfortable, in."
