The purpose of this study is to determine if we can reduce the incidence of cognitive dysfunction — difficulty in performing certain pencil-paper, memory, finger dexterity and thinking type of tasks called neuropsychometric tests — in patients with adult onset diabetes mellitus (DM) undergoing surgery on the carotid artery (CEA).
We hypothesize that cognitive dysfunction can be decreased in patients with type II DM by augmenting cerebral blood flow with a shunt during carotid endarterectomy compared to patients with Type II DM who are treated with "conventional" management in which a shunt is placed only if the electroencephalogram (EEG) indicates cerebral ischemia.

2 men beaten at Bothell motel
The Associated Press
BOTHELL — Police are looking for three men who beat two men with a gun or baseball bat at a Bothell motel early Wednesday.
Police say the two men had earlier met a woman who went to their room, and she apparently knew the suspects who showed up around 5 a.m.
Sgt. Cedric Collins told KING she may have left with the attackers.
One of the victims was treated at the scene and one was treated at a hospital.

Logitech G500 hands-on test
Just recently Logitech announced the G500 Laser Mouse. PC Games Hardware already got the new device and delivers a hands-on test.
A few days ago Logitech announced the G500 Laser Mouse and the G330 headset. Now PC Games Hardware already received a sample of the new gaming mouse and delivers the first impressions.
Logitech G500 hands-on:
On first sight the G500 looks a lot like the G5. But although both mice have almost the same size, there are several fine differences. The thumb rest of the G500 is a little wider than the one of the G5. Furthermore the buttons for adjusting the dpi have been moved from behind the scroll wheel to the left side of the primary mouse button and thus are operated with the index finger instead of the middle finger. Their old position holds a new button that lets you choose between the two modes of the scroll wheel - you can either use a frictionless mode for fast scrolling or a more precise mode intended for gaming. But in our hands-on test we noticed that the "firm" mode of the scroll wheel isn't as well defined as the mouse wheel of the G5 or the MX 518. Instead of two there are now three buttons on the side (above the thumb rest) of the G500.
The G500 also offers the option to adjust the handling by adding up to six weights to the mouse. All in all six weights with 4.5 grams and six weights with 1.7 grams are available. The material the mouse is made of influences the handling, too. While the top cover is smooth, the sides are a little rougher and offer more grip.
According to Logitech all buttons can be programmed with the software. Unfortunately we don't have the final Setpoint for the G500, yet, but as soon as we received it, we will of course test the software and the features it offers.
Conclusion: From what we have seen and experienced up to now, the G500 is a good gaming mouse and an adequate refresh for the G5. The programmable buttons can be a valuable benefit. Nevertheless it will depend on one's own taste if the G500 is worth the recommended retail price of about 70 USD.

Attic Ventilation
2 Attachment(s)
We are replacing our roof (Cedar to Asphalt), so I believe the attic will generate a lot more heat, thus putting more importance on proper venting.
My preference would be to go with the ridge vent, but not sure we have enough intake, output & ridge. Here are my measurements...
Hip Roof Area (main house)
- Attic space: 1200 sf
- Ridge: 20'
- Soffit: 110'
A Gable (front entrance) & A Frame (garage)
- Attic space: 944
- Ridge: 30'
- Soffit: 50'
Other information that may be helpful...
Back Soffits will be replaced. Front Soffits will NOT be replaced, because of dental molding. I do not know the manufacture of soffits in back of house. Front soffits look to be in good shape & not covered with paint or insulation.
I have had many conflicting recommendations. The attic space is all connected. Some have recommended a ridge vent over the garage & A gable + a power vent over hip. However, my research tells me that it is either one or the other, since it is the same attic space.
Ridge vent or power vent? Whole house? Split up?
Thanks for your feedback.
You have 2144 sqft in the attic, divided by 150 sqft equals 14.29 which represents the total sq feet of NFA(net fee area) ventilation you will need. To have an efficient system you need an equal amount of ventilation at both the highest point of your roof and the soffit.
At the highest point of your roof you need 7.15 sqft of ventilation.,
If you add the 50' of ridge vent (which I would do) it will get you 6.25 sqft.
I would put 2 roof vents with NFA of 50-60 flanking the power vent or add 3 and take out the power vent.
At the soffit level you need 7.15 sqft. or the equivelant of 22 -8x16 soffit vents with an NFA of 50.
Take the power vent out and go with 3 passive vents along with the ridge vents.
The more important question is why go back with asphalt and replace the beautiful shake? Have you considered any of the steel systems that look like shake?
There are some very nice systems out there.
Here is a job we did in Northern VA.
50-year roof and the look of shake.
If you figure on the replacement cost of asphalt in 18-24 years, the steel is much, much cheaper.
The box vents will act as intakes for the ridge vent.
My statement was aimed at bringing the exhaust air up to relatively close match to the intake air and in this application I would suggest putting them on the hips and near the ridge line.
Box vents will disrupt ridge venting when the balance is out of phase with more exhaust venting than intake venting.
PAVs are never a good idea when passive is an option.
Venting should always err on the side of having more intake vs. exhaust if you have to be out of balance at all. Going the other way around just drive air exfiltration from the living space below as do PAVs.
These ventilation recommendations are based on the 1:150 ratio. If the homeowner air seals and insulates the attic properly, he can probably drop down to the 1:200-250 range safely and not have any issues because of the reductions in moisture accumulation in the attic. At those levels, the box vents will not be required at all.
Windows on Wash...I appreciate your feedback.
We have so many things to replace in this house (windows, kitchen, master bath, etc.) we have to consider value. We are going with Certainteed Landmark (lifetime warranty). We did look at Grand Manor, but could not justify cost since I would rather put that into windows, garage doors, etc.
We will be removing the fiberglass insulation, sealing openings & installing blown cellulose insulation (R49).
Do you still recommend 3 passive vents vs. ridge & soffit?
What type of passive vents do you recommend?
Thanks, Patrick
Airventinc.com will disagree with everything you just said Windowsonwash.
the first bulletin point under "Mistakes to avoid"
You do realize that there is no such thing, despite the claims on paper, of a lifetime shingle. If you are going to be in the home for 15-20 years, you need to re-examine the numbers and what makes better sense. If the roof is much older than that when you put the home on the market, you are likely to being paying for it again whether or not you put a new one on the home. The roof is the first thing that most home inspectors will look at and try to depreciate the value of (somewhat for good reason).
Combine that with the fact that your asphalt roof will never look as good as the day it went down (streaking, mold/mildew) and steel looks even more favorable.
Have you even priced out that steel roof? What one person charges for asphalt varies from person to person and steel might be more affordable than you think.
I would never put a Grand Manor on my home. The idea of a 50 year asphalt shingle is laughable to say the least.
Don't remove the fiberglass unless you have had an infestation issue. There is not point in the expense and waste generated. The cellulose cap will make that blown in fiberglass function much better in this case as well.
Once you have sealed all the penetrations into the attic (top plates, lights, etc), you necessities for ventilation are not as dramatic.
You could get away with the ridge and soffit vent combo at that point without needing the additional exhaust ventilation.
My recommendation, see previous post, should have been more detailed but I do not think that the addition of a box vent on the hip side is going to short circuit the ventilation.
Archimedes' principle dictates that the warmer air is going to leave through the highest point. Nothing about the addition of a box vent is going to change that. As long as the attic has good intake square footage, it will vent properly and the warm air will rise and the bulk of the outside air will come from the soffits.
All I'm saying is that Air Vent sets the principals regarding ventilation. According to my GAF rep, they are who they base proper ventilation off of when doing warranty inspections.
What would Airvent recommend in that situation if you have a 150:1 ratio and a 3:1 intake to exhaust ratio (low slop hip roof)?
Like I said before, if the customer air seals the attic floor and seals it up, go with 250:1 and the point is moot.
I am not familiar with a steel roof. I thought it was asphalt or cedar? What manufacture do you use?
There are a couple in the steel arena but the one pictured is Decra.

CORNWALL — It is looking like Cornwall citizens will not field a Feb. 12 referendum on the Phase II natural gas pipeline after all.
Citing a recent decision by Vermont Gas to suspend its permitting efforts for Phase II, Cornwall selectboard members are poised to rescind a motion they made earlier this month to hold a townwide vote on whether the community should sign a compensation agreement with Vermont Gas.
CORNWALL — Cornwall voters on Feb. 12 will be asked if they'd like to allow the town selectboard to sign an agreement with Vermont Gas calling for the company to compensate the community for ending its opposition to its Phase II pipeline proposal.
CORNWALL — Cornwall students and teachers recently "cut the ribbon" on their new compost bin. The Cornwall School community has been composting offsite for a year, sending their snack and lunch scraps to a staff member's hot compost in Addison.
CORNWALL — The Cornwall selectboard on Tuesday evening tabled action on a negotiated agreement with Vermont Gas Systems regarding the Phase II natural gas pipeline, following pleas from most of the approximately 25 people who turned out at the board's meeting to argue the pact was flawed.
The agreement, unveiled this week, calls for Cornwall to drop its opposition to the project in exchange for Vermont Gas making some substantial financial concessions that would collectively reduce local residents' property taxes by an estimated 4 percent.
CORNWALL — A custom operator from Addison County recently visited France for a first-hand look at Michelin's agricultural tire technologies and how they help farmers improve crop performance.
CORNWALL — The spirit of the season will come to Cornwall this Sunday, Nov. 30, when the Cornwall Congregational Church hosts a special 3 p.m. Advent celebration.
Attendees will be welcome to deck the church with a traditional "Hanging of the Greens," the ceremony that readies the sanctuary for Advent, the four weeks before Christmas when Christians are called to prepare themselves spiritually for the coming of Jesus.
CORNWALL — When times are tough, you find out who your real friends are.
Three weeks after being seriously injured in a fall, Cornwall resident Brian Trombley is finding out he has more friends than he could have ever imagined. The evidence has been popping up daily in his family's kitchen in the form of casseroles and other tasty meals, courtesy of some folks he had never even met before.
CORNWALL — Vermont State Police have identified speeding as a factor in a tractor-trailer rollover that temporarily closed traffic on Route 125 in Cornwall on Tuesday morning.
CORNWALL — Kayla Selleck will have an extra special story to tell her 6-week-old daughter, Zoey, if she ever asks about the origin of her family's Cornwall home.
"I was out working (on the home) the day before I delivered her," Selleck said on Thursday.
It was all part of the obligatory "sweat equity" that Habitat for Humanity home clients pay into the construction of their homes, which are built with volunteer labor and low-cost supplies to produce affordable abodes for people of modest means.

The supported employment approach offers the potential to increase rates of competitive employment for persons with severe mental illness, but implementation and outcomes vary considerably. The authors examined regional variation in rates of employment across one state to ascertain the factors that affect outcomes. Mental health centers that emphasized supported employment programs achieved higher rates of competitive employment than centers that continued to offer pre-employment programs, such as day treatment and sheltered workshops. Mental health centers that attained high rates of competitive employment spent a larger proportion of their total budget on vocational services than other centers. Rural centers were also more likely to attain high employment rates than urban centers.

Dyspareunia (dys*pa*reu*nia) means painful sexual intercourse. The pain can occur with initial penetration, and/or during thrusting, and/or after intercourse (an after-effect).
Dyspareunia can be a source of great conflict and anxiety to the woman who suffers from it, causing marked distress and interpersonal difficulties. Although intercourse is possible, the accompanying pain has been associated with a more negative attitude toward sexuality, with more sexual function impairment, and with lower levels of sexual adjustment.
Unfortunately, many women are putting up with painful intercourse, depriving themselves of healthy intimacy, which should be the cornerstone of any relationship.
What are the causes of sexual pain during intercourse?
- Medical causes, such as vaginal infections, sexually transmitted diseases, skin conditions, hormonal problems, conditions of the intestines or genitals or urinary system
- Physical causes, such as vaginal abrasions, scars, nerve damage, complications from vaginal delivery, size incompatibility
- Functional causes, such as genital irritation due to excessive hygiene or sensitivity to cleansing agents, poor hygiene, friction irritation due to sports such as cycling or horseback riding, insufficient vaginal lubrication
- Psychophysical causes, such as vaginismus, postpartum crisis, interpersonal difficulties, forced sexual encounters
- Menopause
- Breast cancer
- Female (gynecologic) Cancer
- Sjogren's Syndrome
Learn about our proprietary treatment for sexual pain, the DiRoss Methodologysm
Our treatment for sexual pain:
- A thorough assessment is imperative in order to identify the particular type of dyspareunia the woman has and to offer the appropriate intervention. The clinician who takes the time to obtain a complete and careful medical, emotional, and sexual evaluation can help resolve most of these problems.
- It is not mandatory that the partner comes along for the sessions unless otherwise instructed.
- Treatment itself is about 2-7 sessions depending on the cause, and rarely more than 10 sessions.
- Read our Insurance page for instructions how to get reimbursed for the treatment.

This "WR's are running the wrong routes" bull**** has been spewed for YEARS with this offense. Well the WR's have changed. Maybe we need to look at the one constant.......Our QB.
Those guys are creating separation out there. this system works. As long as they O line is protecting. And they were yesterday. Eli just made some bonehead plays.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
These guys are open. They are creating separation. They are doing their job.
If there is a "communication" error (whatever the hell that is) its on the QB. HE is responsible for communication. If he has a guy who isn't sure he has to know it from practice, and fix it.
He can't be throwing it into coverage if he doesn't know exactly what the WR will do. And has done a thousand times in practice.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
Don't we use a different offensive system than other NFL teams though, morehead?
Like it's not poor accuracy if he threw a laser 6-7 feet behind his WR who was only about 15 yards out....that wouldnt make any sense to me.
edit, because he wasnt 10 yards behind him

Anyway. We saw these awesome nachos on Man v. Food the other day and I just had to make them. Of course, I'll just do this in order of should be done so you don't have to muddle through like I did. :)
Ingredient List:
- Nacho chips
- 1 lb. finely sliced steak meat (got mine pre-sliced at WholeFoods)
- 1 lb. bag of pepper strips (red, green, yellow) You can obviously substitute fresh peppers here - I'd use one good sized one of each then.
- One medium sized onion (or half of a large one - to taste)
- 1 - 8oz. bag Monterrey Jack cheese
Step one: Cut your onion into strips.
Put a splash of olive oil in a good-sized (obviously larger than the one I used below) pan and heat it. When pan is hot, add onion and lower temperature. Cook them about half way done. (This is if you're using the bag veggies - if you're using fresh cut, I'd probably cook them all at the same time.)
Step two: When your onions are about half way cooked to your liking (we like ours pretty well floppy and golden), start another pan (no oil - although I added a splash of water so it wasn't dry in the pan) and when hot, add the meat. Lower the temp. Throw in a bit of seasoning to taste (I just used some of that pre-mixed steak seasoning they make. Yeah, yeah, cheater, I know.)
Add the bag of peppers to the onions.
The meat, cut into such small pieces, really cooks super quick. So watch it - I thought I cooked ours too long, but Jon said it was excellent. I'd say about 6-7 minutes-ish.
Step four: Since you're following my great hindsight directions, your veggies and meat will be done together. Spread a layer of nachos on a plate. Add a layer of veggies. Add your meat. Sprinkle a generous layer of cheese on top. (You can melt in microwave if your cheese does not cooperate. Mine didn't either.)
Serve with a side of chunky salsa and sour cream. This should probably serve four. (Although Jon and I managed to polish off a good portion of it all by ourselves.) Mangia!!

Ulrich To Be Sworn In At Scholars'
City Councilman Eric Ulrich, who won his first full term in the November election, will be sworn in at the Scholars' Academy, 320 Beach 104 Street in Rockaway Park, at 2 p.m. on Sunday, January 17, a spokesperson says.
"Now that the election is over, I can focus all of my energy into doing the work of the people in my district," Ulrich said in a prepared statement.
Following the ceremony, refreshments will be served in the school cafeteria.

"It must be so depressing," is often the first comment. It's followed by, "Oh, you must be special because it has to be really hard." The first time I heard those comments, I was actually taken aback. But these are often the first things you hear when you tell someone that you work as a palliative or hospice nurse.
I don't work in palliative care anymore. But I had the privilege of doing so, part-time, for almost five years. It wasn't depressing and it wasn't "really hard." In fact, it was the most rewarding nursing job I've ever done.
Nursing School
In nursing school, we're taught how to help people as they recover from their illnesses, injuries, or surgeries. Death is discussed, most often in terms of us trying to avoid it. However, there are some lessons on how to deal with dying patients and their family members.
More schools are introducing a palliative care and hospice component to their nursing programs. But it is only recently that palliative and hospice care is coming into its own as a specialty that nurses want to work in.
Often, the question asked is "why?" Why would someone want to work in palliative or hospice care? To me, it's very simple. It's a completely different type of nursing career than what we're used to in the hospitals. We know that these people are dying and that they will die, sooner than later. Our goal isn't to prolong their life, but to help them live their life as comfortably as is possible in their remaining time.
It used to be that people just waited to die. But with modern medicine and know-how, we can help make those final days comfortable enough for many for them to enjoy them. They can visit with family members and friends. They can tie up loose ends. They can laugh and cry. They can take the time to say good-bye to those they love.
Hiding Death
When I was a nursing student—and later working on the floors—I came across many situations where dying patients weren't told they were dying. In fact, often the patients would ask outright; only to be told, "No, you're not dying" by their family members. They had decided it was best for the patient not to know.
Even back when I was 20 and not all that experienced, I knew that was wrong. It was wrong to rob someone of the opportunity to end their life in a way that they could finish what they could finish.
I would often say, "How lonely must it be to be dying," and know that the people around you are lying to you and won't talk about it. I say that because in my heart, I truly believe that the vast majority of dying people know that they are dying, even if they are told that it isn't so. I can't imagine what it must be like to be denied that honesty right up to the end.
Palliative care and hospice nursing allow for that honesty. It allows us, as nurses, to help the patients do what it is they need to do. We provide to them the most intimate of care possible. What is more intimate than being there to listen to them, to talk to them, to care for them, in their final days?
The Reward
The reward from palliative care comes out throughout the time we have with our patients. When they can move from one stage to another, when they can ask for help and get it, when they can talk openly about what they want and what they can do.
In the end, we know we have our job when we know that the passing has been as pain-free as is possible, when the families have had a chance to say good-bye, and when we can turn around and give the same care to the next patient who needs us.
Have you ever considered working as a palliative or hospice nurse? What are your thoughts?

Slow movies. Slow music. Slow art. The title of England's intriguing month-long AV Festival, now in its fifth edition, is "As Slow as Possible" — a counterargument to the frenzy of the upcoming London 2012 Olympics, with its feverish tagline "Faster, Higher, Stronger."
Attendees at the festival — which kicked off, slowly, on March 1 — can watch a car crash in slow motion (it will take the entire month for the Volkswagen to finish crashing, in a collision designed by artist Jonathan Schipper.) They can peruse a 20-volume set of hefty tomes created by Japanese artist On Kawara, called "One Million Years"; listen to vinyl records slowed down to a molasses crawl on Jem Finer's hacked "slowplayer" turntable; sleep through an all-night concert (beds are provided) by Steven Stapleton of the legendary band Nurse With Wound; or sit through 70 hours of screenings of "slow cinema."
But one festival highlight welcomes participants from anywhere in the world. It's a 744-hour-long radio show curated by artist Vicki Bennett, also known as People Like Us. Listeners can tune in live to the broadcast, called "Radio Boredcast," at any time, day or night, during the entire month of March.
According to Radio Boredcast's impressive companion essay, the project includes "thematic freeform radio shows, mathematical experiments and time-based compositions, field recordings of nature's cycles and underwater rumblings, musical meanderings through memory, … scientific discussions on insects and evolutionary biology, ultrasound recordings of bats, journeys through very slow cheese, soundscapes from faraway lands with long phone calls full of language removal, test card music and shipping forecasts, vast sweeping summaries of the entire history of everything, and then … Silence."
How does one go about filling a radio show that lasts 31 straight days? One obvious solution would be to loop or repeat segments, or to play pieces that are 20 hours long. But that would have been too predictable for Bennett, who spent six months planning out the broadcast, which features nearly 100 contributors and changes by the hour, if not by the minute.
"I don't see the point in putting something together without getting your hands dirty, so to speak — it's important to have your own take on it, especially since I am an artist," says Bennett in an e-mail exchange with Wired.
Reading Radio Boredcast's intense 31-day schedule is a bit like gazing at an intricate collage — fitting for Bennett, who has been working in audio and visual collage since 1991.
Bennett has had a radio show on independent station WFMU called Do or DIY since 2003. "Judging by listening stats," says Bennett, "the listeners [for Radio Boredcast] are really all over the world, and I hope they will benefit from what I've learned from listening to freeform programming on stations like WFMU — that you don't have to stick to rigid structures of form and content, that it can be an artistic medium."
The 744-hour-long broadcast includes contributions from musicians ranging from DJ/Rupture to Matmos to Chris and Cosey of Throbbing Gristle; lectures from the Long Now Foundation; archival recordings of works by artists like John Cage and Morton Feldman, and educational podcasts from Barcelona's excellent Radio Web MACBA. Though the content of Radio Boredcast is constantly shifting, the mammoth nature of the endeavor helps to illuminate the value of slow.
"Slowness is not a fad; it's not just the latest movement," says Bennett. "Or rather if it is, I hope it doesn't move too fast out of fashion. I truly believe in the quality of slow works, whether the reflection [is] durational, repetitive, monotonous, boring or 'uncreative.' There is a lot to be learned from moving away from things constantly needing or rather claiming to being new, original or immediately obvious or exciting … even from being recycled. I question the throwaway nature of the 'fast' world that we live in…. I believe in subverting, taking apart or even doing the opposite for what you're 'supposed' to do in any given situation to get to the bottom of why things are the way they are. That is why Radio Boredcast is far from boring."
The As Slow as Possible festival continues through March 31 at locations in Gateshead, Middlesbrough, Newcastle and Sunderland. The festival's title is inspired by a notorious organ piece by John Cage, currently unfolding over the course of 639 years in a church in Halberstadt, Germany.Go Back to Top.

We've been enjoying our Sundays at St. Mark's. The richness and rigor of the liturgy is refreshing after years of seeker-sensitive services. It's an eight-course meal, carefully measured out for us by church fathers – confession, forgiveness, praise, instruction, communion, giving, fellowship and benediction. It's like a spiritual multivitamin in an easy-to-swallow, hour-long pill.
St. Mark's has a lot going for it. The people are friendly, but not overly so. There is a healthy number of kids and young adults. The facility is well kept. The sermons are insightful. We love the depth of the hymns – and the people sing robustly (as opposed to most megachurches where very few people sing). It takes my wife back to the 100-member churches of her youth.
But last Sunday was different. Once a month, this little church does a contemporary service. Gina and I were surprised – unpleasantly so.
We arrived to find the pastor without his clerical robe. A projection screen had been lowered in front of the organ pipes. We sang praise choruses instead of hymns, led by a solo guitarist who had trouble keeping the beat. The congregation did not seem to know the songs, so they sang tentatively. On a positive note, the sermon was good as usual, and the pastor skillfully used PowerPoint slides to reinforce his message.
But on balance, the overall quality of the service was not up to par. Had this been our first Sunday at St. Mark's it's unlikely we would have returned.
So what went wrong? This little church was trying to be something it's not.
St. Mark's is a traditional church. And it's very good at being a traditional church. But it's a lousy contemporary church.

Cracked front air dam...
Pulled the lower air dam off of my 07 Overland- must have hit something this winter as it has a crack it it. Any ideas or tips to patch it up? Hoping I can just use some adhesive and fit it together for a quick repair.
Re: Cracked front air dam...
check out just for jeeps... i think they are really cheap.
also gorilla glue makes a plastic adhesive that works really well.
Re: Cracked front air dam...
Here is the part number. #5159125AA
They have them on amazon if you just want to order a new one.
Re: Cracked front air dam...
IMO the WK looks better without it on.

If you suffer from crow's feet, use highlight shades (light yellows) on the outside of the eyes to open them up and eliminate the red in the crows feet.
Using jewel toned eye shadows will absolutely accentuate and bring out your eyes. Don't be afraid of using shimmers, but remember that shimmers are different from glitters.
Apply false lashes for extra oomph!
Don't forget to shape your eyebrows. A clean brow will always open up the eyes especially when you apply a matte shadow to the brow bone. I use the EVE PEARL Eye Palettes in 6 vibrant shades.

A fourth man, who has eight felony convictions and was in prison six months ago, was arrested Tuesday night in connection with the 17 firearms stolen from inside a gun collector's RV that was parked on Stock Island.
Amado Cardenas, 47, of 551 5th Ave., Stock Island, was caught illegally selling two stolen rifles to his neighbor between Saturday and Monday, according to a Sheriff's Office arrest report released Wednesday.
The neighbor told deputies he paid $50 for a Colt .45-caliber rifle and $100, via two payments, for the Bushmaster rifle. Both were presents for his dad.
"When he asked Amado why the guns were so inexpensive, Amado told him he was selling them for a friend who needed the money," Deputy David Cruz wrote in the latest report from the Sheriff's Office on the case.
State records show Cardenas was released from prison Oct. 10, having served a year for felony grand theft, and has prior convictions for burglary and theft that landed him behind bars.
Another Stock Island man and two teens from the mainland were jailed Monday on charges related to the stolen guns, which included two Bushmaster rifles with scopes.
One of the trio, Jermaine Roberts, 33, on Monday fingered Cardenas as the man who provided the firearms he is charged with selling from his home at Water's Edge Colony Trailer Park in the 5700 block of Laurel Avenue, deputies said.
"Jermaine said Amado had an AR-15 (rifle) and tried to get him to sell it," Cruz wrote in the latest report. "He admitted getting the firearms from Amado Cardenas and Cardenas had been taking numerous guns from the same location and was trying to sell them to him. Jermaine also said Amado had a laptop and television he was selling."
Roberts is also fresh out of Florida prison, having finished a sentence on March 10 for cocaine possession and battery.
Cardenas is charged with possession of two firearms by a convicted felon and dealing in stolen property.
Two other witnesses have identified Cardenas as dealing with rifles, including the neighbor/buyer, Miguel Nieto, 34, of Stock Island, who was tracked down by the license plate on his white van.
That photo came from a concerned passerby, who said he snapped the picture Saturday evening when he spotted a shirtless, heavily tattooed Hispanic man carrying something in a white towel in the parking lot of Salinero Enterprises, 5570 3rd Ave.
As the Hispanic man walked by him, the witness said the towel flipped open and he clearly saw a black handle and magazine of an assault-style rifle, deputies reported.
The witness said his father is an avid gun collector who taught him how to handle firearms of all types.
Sheriff's Office detectives were dispatched at 3:30 a.m. Monday just after the gun owner called in the burglary of armfuls of weapons, Sheriff Rick Ramsay said.
Within 24 hours, investigators had worked their informants and tracked down the first three suspects, along with most of the missing firearms.
Two handguns and the Chinese AK-47-copycat assault rifle were found inside the trunk of a white Nissan whose passengers included Andrew Riley, 19, of Cutler Bay, and Romanique Williams, 18, of Miami.
Riley and Williams were additionally charged with felony possession of heroin after deputies said the trunk also held 35 small plastic baggies of the brown powder, stashed in a DVD movie case that was inside a Timberland shoebox, reports said.
A Key West gun owner reported that burglars had cleaned out his RV parked at 6475 2nd St. on Stock Island, swiping 17 firearms that had been locked up in a cabinet along with a laptop computer and a flat-screen television.
The owner, unnamed in Sheriff's Office reports, is an "avid hunter" and gun collector who had last seen his guns on April 10, said Ramsay.
The sheriff described the cabinet used to store the weapons as having a "nothing lock" that anyone could crack and said that the case should serve as a warning to all gun owners.

3 Regions • 3 Influences • 3 Projects
As a young art student I studied the classics as well as eastern art. I was fascinated by Zen, Karesansui (sand art) and the concept of Wabi Sabi in Japan. These were utterly alien concepts in the West. I fell in love with their ethereal ambiguity, their self-sufficient, esoteric and often irrational beauty. I lived and worked in Japan from 2011-2013, arriving shortly before the Great Tohoku Earthquake.
Wabi S Japan The concept of "Wabi Sabi� is what drove me to live in Japan. Though impossible to define (by nature) I would describe it as a reverence for the melancholic, transient, rustic, and empty. In other words, the beauty of the unbeautiful. The withering of fall leaves, a crumbling, overgrown statue, a humble, asymmetric folk ceramic. These items evoke the feeling of Wabi-Sabi. They exist with a kind of imperfection and ambiguity, which humanizes them.
Sabi American South I was raised in rural America, on my family's farm. In the south, we have a kind of folk art which appreciates the deteriorating state of abandoned barns. There exists a kind of poetry in their disuse and decline. A melancholic appreciation I had not understood fully until I sought Wabi-Sabi in Japan.

The Cloud
A form which exhibits continuity, connectivity and ethereality drove this proposal. Otherworldly, it became analogous to a Cloud, where the chaotic forces of nature coexist and harmonize in a light, airy space. The three dimensionality of the cloud and freedom of movement inspired the complex, yet efficient organization of this project. It exists as a hub, as a dense central district and yet as an open, democratic space for the people. Kalemegdan

Belgrade and Beton Hala
As a Post-Soviet Republic, Belgrade (Capital of Serbia) is experiencing a renaissance of culture and development. Unchaining themselves from their oppressive Stalinist civic structures, their hope is to create a new, democratic vision for the city which reconnects its history with its present. Beton Hala itself is a disused industrial port which, through adaptation, has become a night life center but suffers from a multitude of issues; namely, conflicting and often dangerous traffic patterns, disconnectivity with the Sava and surrounding areas and crime.

Marcus Breitschmid was my (very Swiss) 2nd year professor from Bern. He challenged me constantly regarding space, theory and design. From him, something resonated profoundly with me about Swiss design. Even now, many of my favorite artists, thinkers and architects are Swiss: Peter Zumthor, Giacometti, Galfetti, Jean Tinguely, Valerio Olgiati, of course Corbusier, to name a few. In 2009, I was awarded a scholarship to attend the Center for European Studies + Architecture (CESA), in Ticino Switzerland, where I spent half a year studying Swiss design.
The most valuable lesson I learned from Switzerland was the appreciation of Architecture as a holistic sensory experience. The Atmosphere of a place must exude from the treatment of light, material, of sound or procession. Swiss design is, of course, very clean, precise and theoretically rigorous but also some of the most soulful. Many spaces such as the Therme Vals by Zumthor have an almost religious purity not found in structures outside of cathedrals or abbeys. Pursuing the tactile, the phonic, the visual and the spiritual elements of Architecture have become a lifelong passion and drive for me.

Riva San Vitale
A Tectonic and Cultural Gateway As a typology, the port is typically a utilitarian point of (dis)embarkation -- a mechanism for transition. However, the port acts as both a physical and psychological threshold for the city. Therefore, in this project, the port is imagined as both a tectonic and cultural gateway to the city. As a former Roman colony and medieval village of the Lombardy,
Riva San Vitale's urban fabric is a chaotic mesh of historical anachronisms. The city grew organically, with great density, giving an extensive range of urban forms both public and private. A structure which attempts to regulate or compete against this complexity would be unsuccessful; rather the goal is to reinterpret the ur-
ban chaos with a form which achieves both complexity and simplicity. Sensual curves counter the irregular geometries of the
city center, while plasticity in the form allows one simple surface to articulate and accomplish a complex array of tasks.
The site is located in a small bay, walled from the lake, and overtaken by parking lots, a bisecting road and disused boats. The urban ges-
ture of this project is to reconnect people with the water and establish a new piazza which orients and informs the viewer about the city.
A form which reaches, welcomes, is essential. A geometry which has memory of nature, of water, of mountains, generated the undulating forms of this structure.
Simple geometry generated this elegant concrete form. Swiss Engineer Heinz Isler (1968)
Here, the concrete shells are parametrically modelled giving both unhindered fluidity and geometric precision to the form. This expressive form honors the great tradition of Swiss concrete craftsmen while modernizing it for the 21st century.

Initial explorations dealt with geometries which reached out to the water; however, the complicated form became distracting from the idea.
In later iterations a simplified version of the geometry was achieved by focusing on the manipulation of surfaces. Greater complexity was achieved.
My country of origin. America is a dynamic, sprawling country in constant flux. As in nature, vibrant ecosystems of cities, peoples and spaces exist barreling through periods of vitality and degradation. As a side effect of this delirium, a kind of blunt, face value aesthetic has evolved. Though deceptive in theory, in practice the anachronistic assembling of 'styles' and forms (as seen in the iconography of Las Vegas, for example) represents a simplicity in the taste of the population. As a response to this, I developed an anti-thesis to the status quo of building and city in America.
Growing up on a farm cultivates the imagination. Without modern distractions, the mind develops in a plastic reality. The child is challenged both physically and metaphysically to erect enigmatic worlds. Nothing is as it appears. In Architecture today, the reverse occurs. The organic form exists without narrative or mythology. A 1:1 relationship is established between the eyes and mind. My intention is to create enigmatic spaces which require physical and mental engagement to comprehend. Spaces which entice and seduce, hide and reveal, confound and reward. Spaces which evoke those feelings I had on the farm.

Project : : 5th Year Undergraduate Thesis - Virginia Tech Location : : Princeton, West Virginia - 2010 Program : : Adaptation of an abandoned post office into a vertical civic space, including a museum, shops, cafes and metting spaces.
Evolution of a Space : : Thesis
Thesis Architecture must evolve with the city through reuse and absorption. Preservation and protectionism stagnates the vitality of a city by inhibiting its ability to adapt. Generating a new thought for existing spaces increases the cultural depth of the edifice while enriching the surrounds as well. The mechanics of this theory are executed through the use of Form and Seduction.
Site Issues + Solution
(1) Civic Space : : 'Main Street America' is constricted between physical and phenomenological boundaries building facade and sidewalk edge.
This condition gives little freedom and diversity to interact with the city
(2) Facade Driven : : Main Street neglects spatial development and dialogue with the periphery.
(3) V betwe betwee
Vertical Monotony : : Pressed een floor slabs, the relationship en person to earth, to sky is cut.
Existing Post Office for Princeton, West Virginia Abandoned in Spring 2000
Hyper-individualistic Buildings : : Offer an infinite scope of moments and interrelationships between spaces.
Evolution of a Space : : Thesis
The facade is reorchestrated from a static monolith to a permeable, tectonic threshold, much like a colonnade.
Movement (1) Cut and open windows to the floor level
Movement (2) Raise a plinth to the floor level, creating an uninterrupted civic plane
Movement (3) Unburden the building of its roof
This public gesture restates the building's relationship with the street, inviting the city rather than deny them.
Movement (4) Generate a large lofted space to house program
During the day, the form exists as a mysterious cube, ghosting the space beneath
At night, the reverse happens and becomes a luminous beacon for the downtown
Evolution of a Space : : Thesis
To conceal is to create tension. To reveal is to expose order. To discover is to interact. The Ambiguous becomes Metaphor and Confusion, Enlightenment. One experiences the space as a child, through curiosity and immersion. By challenging the viewer to explore they become co-creators in the design. " I want to create something bright and cheerful, something for children to clamber and jump about, I would like something that feels good, that is spectacular, merry, crazy, also festive in a bucolic way. It will have entrances, exists and passages, people will be able to walk up and down, people will be able to pass through it . . .It is a sculpture, a pan demonic meta-meta-maxi sculpture full of harmony.� Jean Tinguely Swiss Painter + Sculptor

Craft has always been a huge part of my life. Primarily, in design, I consider myself a thinker and a crafter. I grew up with a tectonic appreciation as well as dexterity with my hands. Today it informs and influences every aspect of my design both in and out of the studio.

Epilogue My passion is the pursuit of designing an enigma, to reintroduce mysticism and provoke the imagination. I desire spaces which immerse the observer in a personal and spiritual way. Spaces which inspire and compel the observer to explore, engage, and create their own mythology. Thank you very much.

Susanne Shum May 6, 2010 Miscellaneous 0 Flares Twitter 0 Facebook 0 Google+ 0 Pin It Share 0 Reddit 0 Email -- 0 Flares × Prev2 of 2NextUse your ← → (arrow) keys to browse School Me in Gaming Culture Society teaches children at an early age about gender roles and what jobs are considered more appropriate for men versus women. Parents buy Barbie dolls for their daughters while sons get X-Men action figures. Gabrielle Toledano, executive vice-president of human resources at Electronic Arts, believes that this gender imbalance was predestined in elementary school. "It goes back to school, during those early years when you had that teacher who either encouraged you in math and science or didn't," said Toledano. "It's the same reason why the statistics on women enrolling in computer science programs have been way down. So, by the time we go out and hire, the pool of candidates is already skewed." More male candidates, more male programmers. Makes sense. Breaking into the Old Boys Club Given the current demographic shifts, more girls are enrolling into game design schools. Unfortunately, they sometimes become disappointed or drop out after attending just a few classes. They are far outnumbered by the opposite sex and, as such, these girls can feel isolated. After all, when you're the only girl in class, you either get no attention at all... or only the wrong kind of attention. Brenda Brathwaite was identified by Next Generation Magazine as the woman with the longest continuous service in video game development, having credits on twenty-two game titles since 1981. She now sits on the Board of Directors for the International Game Developers Association (IGDA). Brathwaite thinks that perhaps the biggest turnoff for women when it comes to entering the game industry is the "fratty" atmosphere still present at many game companies. Women can feel unwanted, preventing them from taking it seriously as a career. A Couple of Alpha Females It's not like there aren't any women working in the video game industry, but they are most definitely in the minority. Even so, the ones who were able to break into the business and break through the glass ceiling have quite a few achievements to put up on their mantles. Take PS3 blockbuster Heavy Rain, for example. Frederique Barkoff took on the role of marketing and sales manager at Quantic Dream Studio in the fall of 2007, overseeing the in-house motion capture studio used for both body and facial capture. She went on to be the talent coordinator for Heavy Rain, sourcing the talent of approximately fifty artists for the project. She played a big part in the game's unique art style. Prior to this, Barkoff had ten years of experience working with several game publishers. Want to go even higher up the corporate ladder? Diner Dash is one of the most popular casual games, both online and on more conventional consoles. It was developed by PlayFirst, a company whose CEO happens to be a woman: Mari Baker. Similarly, Melanie Mroz is the CEO of SouthPeak Interactive, the company responsible for the quirky Ninjatown title on the Nintendo DS. Why Women Should Be in Games Louise Murray was a Project Manager for Criterion Games before she went to Lionhead Studios to produce the original Fable for Microsoft. She was quickly promoted to Executive Producer on Fable 2, becoming "Head of Franchise" shortly thereafter. Naturally, she thinks having women on development teams is a plus: "As time has gone on, games are reaching a much broader market, so we really want to bring more women into the games industry," she said in an interview with WomenInGamesJobs.com. "They bring such a positive perspective... diversity is what's going to make better games for us." In the end, it's about the final product and how well it sells. And if you don't try to sell to women, you're leaving money on the table. Love This Article? Hate This Article? Leave a Comment or Hit The Forums! Prev2 of 2NextUse your ← → (arrow) keys to browse

Answers For:
Incoming Freshman Online Advising
Prospective Students
Continuing Students
Graduate Students
New Students
If you are just starting the Bachelor of Science program in Civil Engineering at Boise State University, you probably have many questions. Our program has been designed with the idea that our students will be recent high school graduates, who will be attending the university full time, who will not be working, and who are ready to take English, Calculus, and a full load of courses. However, most of the students who are enrolled in our BS program do not match this profile. With this in mind, we have listed here some useful information to help you get started on your path to a degree. We hope you will find these items helpful. If you need additional information, please feel free to contact us.
- What is Civil Engineering and what will I be learning?
- How is the curriculum set up and how long will it take me to complete a Bachelor's in Civil Engineering?
- What courses are "more important" than others and which ones should I take first?
- How important is Math, and where do I start?
- Why do I have to take English courses?
- How do I anticipate what courses I'll be taking when? What is the frequency of course offerings?
- What scholarships are available for students enrolled in Civil Engineering?
Continuing Students
We recommend that all students talk to an advisor whenever they have a question. On this page we have included self-advising tools concerning the schedule of required courses and the Fundamentals of Engineering exam.
- What courses are "more important" than others and which ones should I take first?
- How do I anticipate what courses I'll be taking when? What is the frequency of course offerings?
- What scholarships are available for students enrolled in Civil Engineering?
- What is the Fundamentals of Engineering test and why do I have to take it?
Graduate Students
If you are considering enrolling in the Master of Science or Master of Engineering Civil Engineering program, you should also consider taking the Fundamentals of Engineering Test. If you do not have a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, you need to take background subjects before being admitted. Please see the
Graduate Student page for more detailed information.
|How good do I have to be at math to be a successful student of Civil Engineering?
Engineering is applied math and science…
A student may enter MATH 170 Calculus I based on either their ACT or SAT test scores or by taking the placement test at Boise State.
Some students who have scored well enough to take calculus but have been away from school for a while, or don't feel quite ready for calculus may wish to begin at the step before MATH 170.
MATH 147 Precalculus or MATH 143 College Algebra may be the appropriate place to begin. MATH 143 is a 3-credit Algebra course that covers approximately 60% of the material in MATH 147. MATH 143 is a semester long course that will be followed by MATH 144 Trigonometry, before calculus may be taken. However, successful completion of MATH 143 will allow the student to take first semester Chemistry CHEM 111. MATH 147 is a 5-credit, one semester long course covering both advanced Algebra and Trigonometry. Successful completion of MATH 147 will also allow the student to take first semester Chemistry. A placement test is available to gain admittance to either MATH 147 or MATH 143.
Before MATH 147 or MATH 143, there is MATH 108. A student starting with MATH 108 should plan to add up to one year to their academic career plans. A placement test is available to gain admittance to MATH 108.
Students who have been away from formal mathematics education for some time, have a poor skill level, or have no ACT or SAT score need to start by taking MATH 025. This is a zero credit course that prepares students for university level math. No placement test is necessary to enter this class.
Test score requirements may be found on the Freshman Online Advising page.
|Why do I have to take English courses? I'm an engineering student!
Engineering is the application of scientific principles in a manner that is useful and usable. Civil Engineering requires the ability to explain an answer to a public that does not necessarily understand the math or science behind building a bridge or widening a road. In order to help our students be able to do their job in an effective manner, writing skills are a necessity.
Writing skills will be developed through the English composition courses ENGL 101 and ENGL 102. Students may enter ENGL 101 directly based on their ACT or SAT scores, or they may take a placement test to be able to enter ENGL 101 or, possibly, even ENGL 102. Test score requirements may be found on the Freshman Online Advising page.
Beyond ENGL 102, Civil Engineering requires ENGL 202 Technical Communication. This course teaches students how to write scientific reports to present the results of their research concerning different engineering topics. Students should take ENGL 202 as early as possible in their academic career because many of the engineering courses require writing an elaborate report as part of the final assignment.
|What scholarships are available for students enrolled in Civil Engineering programs?
|Boise State offers scholarship/financial aid money to a wide variety of students. The College of Engineering also allocates some of its money for scholarships for both new and continuing students. The scholarship funds of the College of Engineering are generally awarded based on scholastic achievement.To learn more about the scholarships available through the College of Engineering, visit the Scholarships page. To apply for either Boise State funds, or specifically for College of Engineering funds, you need to fill out a Scholarship Application available through the Financial Aid Office. The monies will be awarded for the following school year.Return to top
|What is the Fundamentals of Engineering test and why do I have to take it?
|The Fundamentals of Engineering test is an 8-hour examination covering the material the student has studied in the course of completing a Bachelor's program in engineering. In the civil engineering discipline, the morning exam covers material from the Freshman and Sophomore years. The afternoon covers material studied during the Junior and Senior years. The test can be taken during the senior year (within two semesters of graduation).The test is administered by the Board of Registration of Professional Engineers and Professional Land Surveyors for the State of Idaho. Taking this test is the first step in becoming a Registered Professional Engineer. Applications are available online from the Idaho Board of PE & PLS.

My analysis of the season opener is pretty simple.
Sean Kilpatrick was great. Yancy Gates was good. And the starting backcourt of Cashmere Wright and Dion Dixon was very disappointing.
"He's playing to his strengths - last year he settled for too many 3-point shots," Coach Cronin told me before the game. "He's always been a guy with talent, but I think he's matured enough to know what he's good at, what he needs to improve, and he's put a lot of time in. He's put in more time than any guy on our team in terms of ball drills, shooting drills, trying to play against older guys. He's been a pleasure to be around every day."
Wright started the game solidly by taking care of the ball and making some good passes, but once he made a couple of mistakes it all went downhill. His decision-making on the fast break was especially troubling.
"Your point guard has got to be a leader," Cronin said. "He doesn't have to be your best player, but he has to run the team, get the ball where it's supposed to go, he's got to play with confidence, and he has to give other guys confidence.
Mick told reporters after the game that "
"Jeremiah Davis is a big point guard, although he can play the two if you need him to," Coach Cronin said. "He's a legitimate 6'2" and his size is an advantage for him. The game comes easily to Jeremiah. He knows when to shoot and has great vision as a passer - stuff you can't teach. He's very calm with the basketball and makes other people better. He's going to have a great year at Huntington Prep playing with several Division 1 players. I'm really excited about him because whenever you get a guy who has the feel to make other people better - those guys are hard to find. We've been after him for three years, so we're excited to sign him."
UC still has one scholarship to give and since 6'11" Ibrahima Thomas and 7'1" Biggie McClain are seniors, the remaining target is a big guy.
"Absolutely," Mick said. "We've been going hard after a lot of targets - some junior college guys in particular because of the balance of the class (five high school seniors). We'd love to get an older big guy since Justin Jackson and Kelvin Gaines are so young, so that's definitely our focus in the April signing period.
"It's definitely the best early signing period that we've had. We still need to get a big guy, but we signed some really good players and all of them are four-year players. Our best players right now are probably our freshman, sophomores, and juniors, so it bodes well for next year."

Date of Stay: October, 2010
Nice clean park with clean bathrooms. South of town so good access to 4 wheeling trails south of Moab. We will stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2010
Really enjoyed our stay. The Durango & Silverton steam train came right through the park, that was very cool. Kids enjoyed the park, very clean, nice shade trees. Friendly staff. Will definitely stay here again on our next trip through Durango.
Date of Stay: September, 2010
We LOVED this campground. Our water and electric site was right on the river. I loved looking out at the river every morning drinking coffee sitting in the dinette in my rig. The kids played in the river all day long except when we were riding bikes on the new bike path to Carbondale. Friendly service. My experience was completely different from the July reviewer. We will definitely be back.
