Even with a bullet in the leg, a worker from Punjab managed to escape from the captivity of the ISIS militia in Iraq last month. Harjit Masih, 26, was among the 40 Indian workers kidnapped from their workplace in Mosul. "He is now in the safe hands of some agencies in Erbil and recuperating from the gunshot wound," Robin Masih, his younger brother, told HT on the phone. The survivor, sole breadwinner of a family of four from Kala Afghana village in Batala tehsil of Gurdaspur district, had gone to the Middle-East country 11 months ago with the help of a Delhi-based travel agent to work as electrician in a private construction firm. He has called his brother thrice after escaping from the hands of the militia.
Masih told his family that the 40 kidnapped Indian workers had been put on a bus to Mosul, and on the way, asked to alight and surrender their belongings, including money. "He has told me it was night, and the extremists were searching their bags, when taking advantage of the darkness, he dared to run away. After a warning from behind, the militants fired upon him and a bullet lodged in his leg," said Robin Masih.
"He kept running and hiding until he came across a group of Bangladeshis in Erbil, one of whom helped him contact the Indian embassy in Baghdad over telephone. Some Indian officials met him in Erbil," said the survivor's sibling, adding: "He told us that some workers from Amritsar district remained in the custody of ISIS."

Every time I start a video it starts to play then seconds later it starts to buffer, then starts to play again for a second then starts to buffer again. It's driving me crazy!!!
How-To Geek Forums / Windows Vista
Fix Buffering(3 posts)
This could be normal...
Was it always like this or has this happened just recently?
What is going on is that you d/l whatever you want to view and it goes into a 'buffer/file'. Then the video player starts. Once it reaches the end of what has been d/l'ed, it stops and waits for some more data to be gotten, plays, hits the end of what was d/l'ed, and the cycle repeats.
What Internet speed do you have? Are you on a router sharing the Internet with other users?
Of course, busy distribution points like Youtube may also be the cause as they might not be able to satisfy all requestors at the required rate.
Irv S.
Stop the video play for a few minutes and give it a chance to buffer. Then restart it and it should play smoothly - at least for a while.

Global powertrain supplier BorgWarner is expanding operations at its plant in Water Valley to begin manufacturing a new ECO-Launch system that enables the stop-start function in automatic transmissions.
By adding the new product to its production line BorgWarner expects to create 50 new jobs at the plant.
This latest expansion marks the company's third in two years; in 2010, BorgWarner expanded its Water Valley operations to add a new type of transmission control solenoid, known as a mini direct-acting solenoid, to its line-up. For that project, the Auburn Hills, Mich.-based company created 120 new jobs.
In 2011, BorgWarner expanded production capacity of the mini direct-acting solenoid, a project that created 67 new jobs. Currently, the facility employs more than 485 workers, and since summer 2009, it has invested $47 million in a variety of projects at its Water Valley facility.
The ECO-Launch system is mounted on the transmission and filled and pressurized with transmission fluid. The pressurized fluid allows for the quick automatic transmission function necessary for compatibility with the engine stop-start strategies being implemented by automakers to improve fuel economy, Gov. Phil Bryant's office said in a press statement.
James Verrier, president and COO of BorgWarner, said the company's "advanced technologies have either created or led modern technology waves by delivering better fuel economy, lower emissions and powerful performance for drivers around the world."
The Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) provided assistance through the Momentum Mississippi incentives program, though the agency did not detail the type or amount of incentives in the press statement issued by the governor's office.
The Tennessee Valley Authority also provided assistance for the expansion.
BorgWarner operates manufacturing and technical facilities in 59 locations in 19 countries and specializes in products to improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and enhance performance. Customers include VW/Audi, Ford, Toyota, Renault/Nissan, General Motors, Hyundai/Kia, Daimler, Chrysler, Fiat, BMW, Honda, John Deere, PSA, and MAN.

What is TNM?
The classification of cancer by anatomic disease extent, i.e. stage, is the major determinant of appropriate treatment and prognosis. Stage is an increasingly important component of cancer surveillance and cancer control and an endpoint for the evaluation of the population-based screening and early detection efforts.
The UICC has published the UICC TNM classification of malignant tumours for over 50 years. The UICC TNM classification is the internationally accepted standard for cancer staging.
The UICC TNM Classification is an anatomically based system that records the primary and regional nodal extent of the tumor and the absence or presence of metastases.
Each individual aspect of TNM is termed as a category:
T category describes the primary tumor site
N category describes the regional lymph node involvement
M category describes the presence or otherwise of distant metastatic spread
Why adopt the TNM Classification?
The UICC TNM staging system is the common language in which oncology health professionals can communicate on the cancer extent for individual patients as a basis for decision making on treatment management and individual prognosis but can also be used, to inform and evaluate treatment guidelines, national cancer planning and research.
More specifically, the objectives of the TNM classification are the following:
Aid treatment planning,
Provide an indication of prognosis,
Assist in the evaluation of treatment results,
Facilitate the exchange of information between treatment centres,
Contribute to continuing investigations of human malignancies,
Support cancer control activities, including through cancer registries.
The TNM classification is a unified standard and is a prerequisite for ensuring the quality of care in all resource-settings. It goes beyond clinician practice and constitutes vital information for policy-makers developing or implementing cancer control and prevention plans and it is therefore important to include the TNM classification as part of cancer registration.
You can also read the documents:
- How to use TNM;
- How to use TNM for patients and their families;
- How to use TNM for healthcare professionals.
How is the TNM classification defined and updated?
The UICC TNM Project has updated and expanded the TNM Classification since its inception. For more than 50 years, the TNM project has benefited from an active participation of internationally renowned experts in cancer staging, who reside on the TNM Core Committee and its sub-committees, the Evaluation Committee and the Prognostic Factors Committee.
The TNM Core Committee, co-chaired by Drs Mary Gospodarowicz and James Brierley, reflects the multidisciplinary, geographical representation and objectives of the TNM project, with precise responsibilities for each of its members.
The TNM Core Committee also includes representatives, from FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics), IASLC (International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer) and the AJCC (American Joint Committee on Cancer), to maintain a unified TNM classification.
In addition, experts are recruited to serve on TNM Expert Panels to provide organ-based expertise for review of relevant literature and opinions on potential changes to, and adaptations of, the TNM classification.
The 19 national or regional TNM Committees, which form the Global Advisory Group, provide essential information and feedback on the use of the TNM classification at the national level and help evaluate its use and identify any specific regional concerns.
To submit a proposal for change to the UICC TNM Classification, please consult the document How to submit proposals for change and contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com

Increases in Crude Oil, Distillate Fuels and Gasoline Prices
I wish to thank the Committee for the opportunity to testify on behalf of Jay Hakes, Administrator of the Energy Information Administration, who regrets that he was unable to be here today. I will focus on the status of the current crude oil market and its effects on the heating oil, diesel, and gasoline markets and prices. As I will explain, world demand exceeded crude oil production in 1999, largely as a result of the decline in production by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and several other exporting countries. Inventories were used to meet the excess demand and prices rose in response. Today, world inventory levels are very low, leaving markets vulnerable to price spikes, such as that just experienced in the Northeast.
US Dependence on Petroleum
The United States is still heavily dependent on crude oil, in spite of the growth in use of other fuels like natural gas and coal. In 1998, petroleum supplied 39% of our energy needs. Natural gas and coal were the next largest fuel sources, each supplying 23% of U.S. consumption. Since 1985, domestic crude oil production has been declining while oil product consumption has been increasing, resulting in a growing reliance on imports. In 1998, net imports of crude oil and products supplied about 52% of U.S. petroleum consumption, the highest percentage ever. Transportation is the largest petroleum end use sector, accounting for 65% of petroleum consumed in this country -- mostly in the form of gasoline, which has grown an average of 1.2% per year since 1988. As crude oil prices change, so do petroleum product prices, and because of petroleum's wide use, most of our citizens see and feel the effects immediately.
Crude Oil Market and Recent Price Increases
Crude prices have changed significantly over the past year. Prices rose $18 per barrel (40 cents per gallon) from $12 per barrel in mid February 1999 -- the lowest prices in nominal terms since 1986 -- to over $30 per barrel recently. To put this in perspective, in today's dollars, prices for crude oil peaked in 1981 at about $70 per barrel ($39 per barrel in nominal terms).
Crude oil markets tightened in 1999 as OPEC and several other exporting countries reduced supply, and, at the same time, the recovery of the Asian economies increased demand growth. In 1999, world oil demand exceeded production, and inventories progressively declined. The crude oil shortfall averaged over 1 million barrels per day for the year, reducing world inventories by nearly 400 million barrels. If OPEC were to keep production in the year 2000 at the levels seen in the fourth quarter of 1999, EIA estimates the shortfall in 2000 would be 1-2 million barrels per day.
During 1999, crude oil prices rose faster than product prices, reducing refining margins. The squeeze on margins on top of high crude oil prices encouraged refiners to constrain crude oil purchases, restrict product production, and draw down inventory to meet demand. By the end of 1999, world crude oil and product stocks sank to very low levels. U.S. stocks were no exception. For example, as shown in Figure 1, U.S. distillate inventories, which were ample at the start of the winter season, fell well below normal levels by year end, setting the stage for the heating oil price spike experienced in recent weeks.
Heating Oil Price Spike
Residential heating oil and retail diesel prices (i.e., distillate fuel prices) increased steadily from early in 1999 through the middle of January 2000 largely as a result of increases in crude oil prices. But prices for these products in the Northeast turned sharply upward in the third week of January as shown in Figures 2 and 3. In the three weeks between January 17 and February 7, New England residential heating oil prices rose 78 cents per gallon (66%) from $1.18 to $1.96. In today's dollars, this high price is still lower than the U.S. average heating oil price of $2.45 ($1.29 in nominal terms) that occurred in March 1981. During the same three-week period, New England retail diesel prices rose 68 cents per gallon (47%), from $1.44 to peak at $2.12 per gallon.
While Northeast prices surged, heating oil and distillate product prices in other parts of the country rose very little. For example, heating oil prices in the Midwest rose only 10 cents per gallon during this same three-week period, highlighting the local nature of the problem. Prices are now dropping. Between February 7 and February 14, New England residential heating oil prices fell 32 cents and retail diesel fell 19 cents per gallon. The most recent New England diesel prices for February 21 fell another 19 cents to reach $1.74 -- 38 cents per gallon lower than the peak price. Heating oil prices for February 21 will be available this Friday.
Retail heating oil and diesel fuel prices follow the spot distillate price markets, and crude oil prices have been the main driver behind distillate spot price increases until recently. Figure 4 shows that since mid-January, spot crude oil prices for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) changed very little, but No. 2 heating oil spot prices in the Northeast spiked dramatically. They rose from about 76 cents per gallon in New York Harbor (NYH) on January 14 to peak at $1.77 February 4 before collapsing back to 82 cents per gallon on February 10. Gulf Coast (GC) prices did not spike, but were probably pulled slightly higher as the New York Harbor market began to draw on product from other areas, again indicating the Northeast focus of this problem.
The late-January heating oil and diesel fuel price surges in the Northeast resulted from a combination of low inventories, weather, and supply problems. Low stocks leave little cushion to absorb sudden changes in supply or demand, and increase the possibility of price runups. Distillate stocks fell rapidly in late November through December as high crude oil prices and margin pressure discouraged production. While the trade press attributed some of the inventory decline to movement of stocks from the primary to the secondary level in preparation for Y2K, the early seasonal decline was troublesome. At the beginning of January, East Coast inventories were running almost 4 million barrels or 8 percent below the low end of the normal range.
During the week ending January 21, weather in New England changed abruptly, averaging nearly 20 percent colder than normal for that time of year. The cold weather not only increased demand, but also caused supply problems, with frozen rivers and high winds hindering the arrival of new supply. It was reported that utilities were buying distillate both for peaking power and, along with industrial and commercial users, to substitute for interruptible natural gas supplies, further adding to the market pressure.
Finally, refinery outages at the end of the week sent more buyers into the market. With new supply being delayed and little inventory to cover the increased demand, prices spiked. It generally takes weeks, not days, for new supply to get to the Northeast. The region is now being resupplied, and prices have dropped substantially. Such local market imbalances do not usually last very long.
Upcoming Gasoline Season
The tight crude oil market is also affecting the gasoline market. Gasoline stocks, like other petroleum stocks, are low. Crude oil prices have pushed regular gasoline prices to $1.36 per gallon, the highest level in nominal terms since 1981. We will likely see even higher prices this spring. Refiners will need to increase crude oil runs significantly in March and April to ramp up for the high U.S. gasoline demand season. Typically refineries increase their use of crude oil over 1 million barrels per day during this period. With very little crude oil or gasoline inventory on which to draw, refiners will be purchasing crude oil in a market short on supplies. This extra demand under these circumstances could be enough to cause some gasoline price volatility as we enter the summer driving season.
In Summary
This concludes my testimony. I would be glad to answer any questions that you might have.

NASDAQ reprieve for Mercury
Dodging the drop
Posted in The Channel, 30th November 2005 22:38 GMT
Mercury Interactive has been given a temporary reprieve from NASDAQ de-listing, and has until January to file its second- and third-quarter results.
The self-styled business technology optimization (BTO) specialist must file its fiscal results by January 3, the company said Wednesday.
Mercury faced de-listing after its third-quarter results were delayed so management could spend time determining the effect on its financial statements of misdated stock allocations spanning 1998, 1999 and 2001. At the time, Mercury said its ability to file the amended reports by a US Stock Exchange Commission (SEC) deadline of November 30 was in "serious jeopardy."
Earlier this month, Mercury's CEO, CFO and general counsel resigned following the SEC's year-long investigation into the stock allocations.
While an extension will be welcomed by Mercury's management, the decision also prolongs uncertainty over the company's future. Speculation is circulating in Silicon Valley over Mercury's potential for becoming the target of an opportunistic acquisition from a large vendor interested in the company's software tuning capabilities.
The stock scandal has weakened both Mercury's prestige and its management structure. Shares in the company fell 27 per cent on the day it announced the executive departures.®

George Garrett
Poet Details
Days of Our Lives Lie in Fragments: New and Old Poems, 1957–1997 contains work from his previous six collections. Neal Bowers, reviewing the collection for the Sewanee Review, commented on Garrett's characteristic formal control and lack of pretension; he observed that Garrett's poetry "covered an astonishing array of subjects: war, love, politics, celebrities, poetry anthologies, biblical and mythological characters, teaching, and religion" and added that "one of his distinguishing characteristics is the unpredictability of his topics, though a reader quickly grows to expect and depend upon the recurrence of an irreverent, sometimes bawdy wit."
One of Garrett's best-known works is his trilogy of historical novels: Death of the Fox: A Novel of Elizabeth and Ralegh (1971), The Succession: A Novel of Elizabeth and James (1983), and Entered from the Sun: The Murder of Marlowe (1990). A selection of other titles shows his versatility as a writer: Evening Performance: New and Selected Stories (1985), Sorrows of Fat City: A Selection of Literary Essays and Reviews (1992), My Silk Purse and Yours: The Publishing Scene and American Literary Art (1992), Southern Excursions: Views on Southern Letters in My Time (2003), and Double Vision: A Novel (2007). He also wrote the screenplay Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster.
Garrett taught at Bennington College, Hollins College, and the University of Michigan, and for many years at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, where he developed the creative writing program and was Henry Hoyns Professor of Creative Writing. He was a founding member of the Association of Writers & Writing Programs' board of directors, and chancellor and founding member of the Fellowship of Southern Writers.
His awards included the Ingersoll Foundation's T.S. Eliot Award for Creative Writing, the Aiken Taylor Award for Modern American Poetry, grants from the Ford and Guggenheim foundations, the Rome Prize of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the PEN/Malamud Award for Short Fiction, and the Commonwealth of Virginia Governor's Award for the Arts.
Garrett lived in Charlottesville, Virginia for many years with his wife, the writer Susan Garrett, and their family.

Schencke's presentation will focus on her new passion: finger-painting on the iPad, a completely new art form that came into being only a couple of years ago.
Schencke began iPad painting while traveling, and often emails her paintings as digital postcards. In addition, she engages in what she considers to be "a truly thrilling art experience": painting on the iPad during live musical performances.
She feels fortunate to have painted Esperanza Spaulding, Ambrose Akinmusire, Kitty Margolis, Branford Marsalis, Allison Miller, Jenny Scheiman and Vijay Iyer during their gigs in Humboldt County, as well as many wonderful local musicians.
She finds intimate venues such as the Rotunda at the Morris Graves, Fulkerson Recital Hall and the Arcata Playhouse to be great settings for this mobile digital art. She has created iPad paintings at the Monterey Jazz Festival, the Healdsburg Jazz Festival and at Yoshi's in San Francisco.
"I create visual jazz. I used to bring a sketchbook, but now I bring a complete art studio on my iPad. In the last couple of years I've created more than 200 iPad paintings, including 45 live jazz pieces, presented my iPadJAZZart at the international conference on Mobile Digital Art in New York City and taught 'Finger-Painting on your iPad' in the OLLI program at Humboldt State University. Like jazz itself, my iPad paintings are improvised during live performances," said Schencke.
Schencke studied studio art at Konstfack and art history at Stockholm University in Sweden. Her art has since been exhibited at Stanford Art Spaces, The Broome Street Gallery in New York City, Point Reyes National Seashore, Turtle Bay Exploration Park, Humboldt State University's First Street Gallery, The Morris Graves Museum of Art, the Ink People Gallery, The Westhaven Center for the Arts, Piante Gallery and in juried exhibitions throughout the United States and Sweden.
For more information about Art Talk Sunday, contact Sasha Lyth at 442-0278 ext. 201 or visit www.humboldtarts.org. The Morris Graves Museum of Art is located at 636 F St. in Eureka.

Too Big to Adapt?
In the week that the electronics company Samsung unveiled its smartwatch, and Microsoft bought Nokia's mobile phone business, In the Balance looks at innovation. Do innovation and individualism have a place in big corporations, or are they, as someone once said, "as welcome as large meteors were to dinosaurs"?
Bob Collymore, CEO of Kenya's Safaricom, venture capitalist Simon Cook, and Warwick Business School's assistant professor of strategy, Ronald Klingebiel, discuss with Manuela Saragosa whether companies have to be small and nimble to stay ahead of their game. What does it take to foster creativity within an organisation?
And Colm O'Regan reports from Paris on the first leg of his grand tour. Will he succeed in reinventing himself?

It's Not a (Liberal) Party Without Bob
While I have great respect for his decision, I am disappointed that Bob won't run. With Bob Rae as an active participant in a conversation about the future of Canada and the Liberal Party's place in it, you won't get mindless platitudes or speeches written by someone else. You won't get canned talking points written by someone else. What you get is the sum total of the cumulative wisdom and insight -- with scars and all -- of one of the most substantial political figures of his generation.
Politics and governance is a craft, and it is not for everyone. Those that are good at it have learned through many years of learning, trial and error, of refining their craft, and of honing and tuning their message. Unlike a chief executive, for example, all of this happens under the constant and often cynical glare of the media spotlight.
In the profoundly superficial celebrity-laden culture in which we live, everyone thinks they can do a better job than you. Everyone thinks they should be leader of the party. Everyone thinks they are the best equipped to govern. But they aren't. It takes a very rare breed to reach the pinnacle, as Rae has.
He's not Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian. He's an accomplished business leader, author, academic, internationalist, and public servant. He's earned his stripes the old-fashioned way: through his brains, hard work, and incomparable talent and ability.
No one should be kidding themselves: Taking on the role of interim leader was a thankless job. Just ask those that came before. But at the worst possible moment in the history of the Liberal Party, Rae took on the job and performed masterfully. He was at his best in the House of Commons, and was incredibly tireless and resilient everywhere else. Liberals should pause to reflect on where the party would be today had Bob Rae not taken on that assignment. He did so willingly, with enthusiasm, with humour, and with his customary grace and class.
Bob Rae is an honest, decent, honourable, caring, principled man. He did not deserve the nasty and uncalled for shots he has received from within his own party. The man loves his country deeply and cares as much about his adopted party. He became a Liberal after much sober and thoughtful reflection. He understands what it is to be a Liberal much more than most Liberals do. The same can be said of Michael Ignatieff, another unceremoniously discarded and underappreciated leader.
I had not decided whom to support in the upcoming leadership campaign. I'll make that decision when I know who is in the race. I hope that many good people will stand. But I do know this: The race will be less interesting and less substantive without Bob Rae in it.
I am frankly appalled by a party culture that doesn't think twice about unceremoniously throwing good people under the bus. It started with Pierre Trudeau undermining John Turner, and it has not stopped since. But I am happy for Bob and his family. They will not have to be subjected to that again.
Canadians are wise to the Liberal modus operandi of throwing leaders and candidates overboard in the search for the next silver bullet and fad of the month. Nothing will -- or at least should -- replace a party that knows what it stands for beyond getting rid of Stephen Harper.

Anti-obesity drugs include all pharmacological treatments intended to reduce or control weight.
Because these drugs are intended to alter one of the fundamental processes of the human body, anti-obesity drugs are medically prescribed only in cases of morbid obesity, where weight loss is life-saving.
Anti-obesity drugs operate through one or more of the following mechanisms: Suppression of the appetite.
Epilepsy medications and catecholamines and their derivatives (such as amphetamine-based drugs) are the main tools used for this.
Drugs blocking the cannabinoid receptors may be a future strategy for appetite suppression.[citation needed] Increase of the body's metabolism.[citation needed] Interference with the body's ability to absorb specific nutrients in food.
For example, Orlistat (also known as Xenical and Allī) blocks fat breakdown and thereby prevents fat absorption.
The OTC fiber supplements glucomannan and guar gum have been used for the purpose of inhibiting digestion and lowering caloric absorption Anorectics (also known as anorexigenics) are primarily intended to suppress the appetite, but most of the drugs in this class also act as stimulants (dexedrine, e.g.), and patients have abused drugs "off label" to suppress appetite (e.g. digoxin).

Cooper Union Student Protests Spill into Graduation Ceremony
Cooper Union's graduating class used Wednesday's ceremony to display their disapproval for the school's plan to begin charging tuition in 2014, for the first time in its history. Many students, including the student speaker, refused to shake hands with President Jamshed Bharucha when receiving their diplomas on stage.
Wearing a red square on his gown, a symbol from Montreal's student protests against tuition increases, student commencement speaker James Allister Sprang gave part of his speech using a call and response technique known as the human microphone.
"Hope is everything, a fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing. To do a dull thing with hope will never be preferable to doing a dangerous thing with hope," he said. "To do a dangerous thing with hope, is what I call art."
Receiving an honorary degree and giving the commencement address Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he's not weighing in on the tuition issue. He said he understands the student's frustrations, and that as graduates, they should give back what they can.
"When you walk out these doors today, do not leave the passion you've shown for this institution and it's past and its future behind," Bloomberg said. "Stay involved, stay committed, and do what Peter Cooper did, donate what you can."

Microsoft's New Surface Makes A Strong Case For Device Consolidation
Posted by JP Gownder on May 21, 2014
Yesterday, Microsoft released the Surface Pro 3, a 12" touchscreen device billed as "the tablet that can replace your laptop." Sporting some hard-core computing bona fides (including Intel processors and Windows 8.1) and new innovations (like an active stylus that activates note-taking outside of the lock screen), the device in its third generation offers a new level of mobility despite having a larger screen than its predecessors in the Surface line. It's worth taking a look at:
Microsoft designed the Surface Pro 3 with a variety of seemingly incremental improvements that, once assembled in the same device, make it surprisingly innovative. In fact, you should think about it as quite a departure from the earlier Surface models. With this product, Microsoft makes its best yet argument for device consolidation for the workforce, potentially allowing some workers to stop carrying separate laptop and tablet devices in favor of Pro 3. For consumers, the Surface Pro 3 doesn't act as a substitute for popular 8" form factor tablets, but it might make for a good laptop replacement.
That's not to say it's (to quote the cliche) any sort of "iPad killer"; the starting price of a Surface Pro 3 is higher than the iPad's starting price. It's more like a successor to the laptop -- but one that takes mobility quite seriously. Altogether, it's likely to be popular among prosumers, BYOD consumers, and perhaps some other segments.
Why are we bullish on this model? My colleague Frank Gillett and I have written a Quick Take report you can read and download with the details, complete with quantitative data on what workers are looking for in their tablets, laptops, and mobile computing experiences. We invite you to read the report here.

Accommodation Policy and Procedure
I. Scope
This is the policy and procedure for all qualified students with a disability to obtain reasonable accommodations at the College of William & Mary, including the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (the university). It is for all types of students - undergraduate and graduate, degree-seeking and non-degree seeking, full-time and part-time. Only students who identify themselves as having a disability and seek accommodation using these procedures are eligible. Students who have been accepted but have not yet enrolled may also access this policy. Applicants are also covered by this policy for accommodations needed in the admissions process.
This policy defines the process for eligible students to seek reasonable accommodations in any of the university's programs and activities. Students engaged in academic work off site (such as internships for course credit and study away) should contact the Office of Student Accessibility Services (SAS) to determine whether William & Mary or the other entity (such as the business where the student is interning) is responsible for making accommodations. (The ability to accommodate a student with a disability should be a precondition to any business, agency, or organization that wants to participate in an internship or externship agreement with the university.) In the case of academic course work taken at another institution of higher learning, the Director of SAS will serve as consultant and information source for students arranging accommodations at these locations.
II. Purpose
This policy and procedure enable the university to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which require reasonable accommodations made for qualified students with disabilities and prohibit the university from excluding such students from, or denying them the benefits of, its programs or activities. They help satisfy William & Mary's Code of Ethics, Statement of Rights and Responsibilities, and Discrimination Policy.
III. Definitions
Note: The following terms are applied by the university in accordance with the definitions supplied by federal law and regulations, which are summarized here.
Accommodations are defined as any reasonable adjustment required for a student to have equal access to the university's programs and activities, inside or outside the classroom. Accommodations do not include:
- Substantial modifications to academic standards,
- Modification or adjustment of requirements essential to any program of instruction, program or activity, or essential to any directly related licensing requirement, or
- Modifications or adjustments that result in undue hardship, considering the nature, cost, impact of the accommodation, and other factors.
Disability is a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.
A student is "qualified" if he or she "meets the academic and technical standards requisite to admission or to participation in the educational program or activity, with or without reasonable modifications to rules, policies, or practices; the removal of architectural, communication, or transportation barriers; or the provision of auxiliary aids and services."
IV. Policy
It is the policy of William & Mary to provide qualified students who have disabilities with reasonable accommodation based upon relevant law, the university's educational standards, and sound ethical practice in disability services.
Decisions about whether a student is a qualified student with a disability and what constitutes reasonable accommodation are made by the Director of SAS. Accommodations are considered on a case by case, as well as a class by class, program, or activity basis.
V. Procedure for Requesting Accommodations
Documentation of Disability and Need for Accommodation
Students who may wish to document a disability include:
- those entering the university for the first time or returning after a period of non-enrollment, who have a known disability;
- those experiencing educational difficulty who are referred by a faculty member or university official for consultation regarding the possibility of disability; and
- those whose health and/or physical abilities are altered during their educational tenure resulting in disability (permanent or temporary).
Students may always choose whether or not they want to identify themselves as having a disability, but students who want the university to provide an accommodation must do so. The student assumes full responsibility for providing all diagnostic information to sufficiently support the existence of disability and the need for reasonable accommodation. An accommodation is not needed if the student would still have meaningful access to the program, service, or activity without it. The Director of SAS is responsible for deciding whether a disability or need for accommodation(s) has been adequately documented.
Information regarding a student's disability provided by someone other than a university professional must be in writing and submitted to the Office of the Dean of Students, SAS. Reports must be provided by a qualified professional, most often a physician, educational diagnostician, learning disability specialist, or mental health professional who is not a blood relative. SAS can offer outside referrals for diagnostic services not provided by the university. All costs associated with diagnostic study incurred off campus, however, are borne by the student. Further information about documentation and verification of a disability is available on the SAS website.
Students should make accommodation requests as far in advance of the relevant course, exam, activity or program, to allow for appropriate consideration and planning. Because the reasonableness of any individual accommodation request can vary substantially depending upon a student's current course load, schedule, or course content, accommodation requests must be reviewed by the Director of SAS each semester or summer session of enrollment.
When possible, students entering the university for the first time should submit information related to disability at least six weeks prior to enrollment so that reasonable accommodation can be arranged and delivered in a timely fashion.
Accommodation Determinations
Having provided sufficient evidence of a disability and need for accommodation, a student may make official requests for accommodation through the SAS Office. The Director of SAS will consider the information (documentation) provided by the student, consult with faculty and/or other university officials as needed, and determined what constitutes reasonable accommodation(s) for the student's disability. (See Section III for a definition of accommodation.)
Accommodations not provided by the university include personal aids/devices and specialized transportation.
The Director will identify a list of approved accommodations in accordance with the manifestations of the disability, a copy of which will be shared with the student. For academic accommodations, following review and approval at the start of each semester of enrollment, the Director will prepare individual letters for each professor summarizing the approved accommodations relevant to his/her course. These letters will be emailed to the student and appropriate professors through a secure email program. Faculty and other university officials then are required to provide reasonable accommodation(s) in accordance with the SAS' letter(s). If a professor or other university official does not agree to an accommodation request, the student should seek the assistance of the Director of SAS.
In addition to academic accommodation, the Director makes accommodation determinations for other university programs and activities, such as athletics programs, and coordinates the efforts of university departments such as Facilities Management, Parking Services, Residence Life, Office of the Registrar, Athletics and Student Activities to address special access and service issues related to a student's educational experience.
Disability and the Foreign Language Requirement
Students with conditions that adversely affect the learning of foreign language may request reasonable accommodation within the structure of required foreign language courses. If accommodation proves unworkable, however, students may petition the Committee on Degrees for authorization to substitute select courses for foreign language courses. They should petition as soon as possible, but no later than the pre-registration period of the first semester of their senior year.
To ensure that modification is considered only when truly needed, students must provide documentation of disability meeting specific criteria. Students experiencing exceptional difficulty with foreign language course should also consider approaching any current foreign language instructor to discuss concerns.
VI. Confidential Handling of Disability Records
All information submitted to or developed by the university related to the diagnosis, documentation, or accommodation of a disability is considered confidential and will not become part of any other student record at William & Mary. Staff of the Dean of Students Office have access to all disability records and may arrange access for other authorized university officials in the event of an emergency or other unusual necessity. Disability information may be released in confidence to faculty members or other members of the community who have an educational need to know. The Compliance and Policy Office may collect accommodation data for reporting purposes as well as quality control.
All documents supporting a disability on file in the SAS Office will be retained and destroyed in accordance with Virginia law.
VII. Appealing Accommodation Determinations
Students may petition for a review of SAS' determinations under the university's ADA/Rehabilitation Act Grievance Procedure.
VIII. Approvals and Revisions
Revisions to this policy and procedure were approved by the Provost, effective October 1, 2011.
IX. Interpretation: ADA/Rehabilitation Act Coordinator
Questions concerning the application of this policy and the application of the ADA or the Rehabilitation Act to students may be made to the Director of SAS or to the university's ADA/Rehabilitation Act Coordinator.

Tech Distributors Left in the Dust
Lately, there has been a clear divide in the performance of technology distributor stocks. Distributors of the nuts and bolts used to make electronic gadgets like cell phones—namely, Arrow Electronics (ARW) and Avnet (AVT)—have surged 25% and 43%, respectively, this year (through Feb. 26) thanks to strong demand for storage and other components. Meanwhile, the shares of distributors of finished goods like PCs, servers, and printers—such as Ingram Micro (IM) and CDW (CDWC)—have been left in the dust.
The trouble is, tech distributors of all stripes face intense competition and slim margins, says Dylan Cathers, who follows Ingram Micro, CDW, SYNNEX (SNX), and Tech Data (TECD), which have all lagged behind the market this year. His favorite stock is Ingram Micro, given its attractive valuation, strong balance sheet, and expansion into high-end home electronics systems, along with its other efforts to boost margins.
BusinessWeek.com's Karyn McCormack spoke with Cathers on Feb. 26 about the tech distributors for mostly finished goods. Edited excerpts from their conversation follow.
Note: Dylan Cathers is an S&P Equity Research analyst. He has no ownership interest in or affiliation with any of the companies on which he writes research. All of the views expressed here accurately reflect the analyst's personal views regarding any and all of the subject securities or issuers. No part of the analyst's compensation was, is, or will be, directly or indirectly, related to the specific recommendations or views expressed.
What's your overall outlook for technology distributors?
We have a neutral fundamental outlook on the industry. We think that the tech distributors are seeing pockets of demand. According to research firm IDC, packaged software is supposed to continue to be strong—with upper single-digit growth from 2006 to 2009. Sales of complete systems are expected to be a little slower, with declines in traditional workstations. Sales of desktops are also slowing down. IDC sees low single-digit growth for desktop systems, while laptops should see much stronger growth. Laptops have higher average selling prices (ASP), and though we don't have hard and fast data, we believe margins are better for laptops. Network equipment should see good growth over the next couple of years—that's the steady grower in tech.
In terms of geography, Asia/Pacific is growing the fastest, given the growth of businesses in China, India, and the rest of Southeast Asia. Essentially, companies setting up shop there need equipment. The U.S is the middle grower. And for the companies we follow, Europe has been one of the slower growth areas. There's a caveat there because HP (HPQ) went through a vendor rationalization in 2006. They were dealing with too many distributors in Europe, and some suppliers had 10% of their business with HP. When HP cut back on its distributors, some smaller companies lost business. So they had to dump their product, and that led to margin pressure in Europe.
There was some consolidation in the group a few years ago—do you see any more deals?
We don't see any major moves coming. We think you're more likely to see the large companies that we cover buying smaller companies. The large companies are looking to diversify geographically and offer new products.
What else are these companies doing to grow?
What we're finding interesting is some of them are going outside of the box. For instance, Ingram Micro is selling, through one of its businesses, high-end stereo equipment to installers (not directly to consumers).
A lot of the large houses that have been built lately have included movie studios and large rooms needing stereo equipment.
Another company, CDW, which mainly sells finished goods to corporations and schools, bought Burbee late last year to get into some services such as productivity applications. It's more on a localized basis that goes hand in hand with what they're selling.
What are the challenges faced by technology distributors?
All of them are having issues with margins. Operating margin for SYNNEX was 1.5% last year. Ingram Micro's was 1.3% last year, and Tech Data was under 1%. So these are slim margins, and any way they can offer higher-margin products, like services and electronics, will benefit them.
They're doing everything they can on the cost side. They're opening warehouses in strategic locations and installing cutting-edge inventory systems. But at the end of the day, they're just distributors—all they can do is charge the next person in the chain more money. The challenge is competition. How do they increase margins? And especially in tech when you have too many widgets, it's just a matter of time before you see price pressures. They need to run mean and efficiently. Because of competition, they try to do that in their own way.
The stocks of these companies ran up in the second half of last year, and many of them have pulled back this year because they're under margin pressure amid the competition and investments. But those investments are vital because if they don't make them, someone else will.
Which ones do you think show the most promise, and why?
We've got a strong buy on Ingram Micro—it has been 5 STARS for a while. Ingram Micro offers the most compelling valuation at the moment. It's selling at a price-to-earnings growth (PEG) ratio of about one, which is a good bit below its peers. We arrive at our $24 target price using a PEG ratio of 1.2, based on our 2007 earnings-per-share estimate of $1.68 and an expected three-year growth rate of 12%.
They also have a strong balance sheet. When you have a balance sheet like that, with $335 million (or $2 per share) in cash and a debt-to-total-capital of under 9%, the company has the flexibility to make investments that perhaps its competitors can't make.
Another reason why we like it is the company is taking steps to improve margins. For instance, it purchased a consumer-electronics business. It also opened a services business last year and it has upgraded to a more efficient warehouse-management system in its distribution center near Munich. The company sells everything—including computers, printers, software, and network equipment—throughout the world, and does a very good job of managing its portion of the supply chain.
What are your recommendations on the other companies?
We have a hold on CDW, SYNNEX, and Tech Data. (In January, we upgraded Tech Data and CDW to hold from sell after the stocks dropped following their earnings releases.) These three stocks have PEG rates that are a little high for our taste, but the growth rates are not bad. The valuations are not compelling enough to raise our recommendation at the moment. My colleague Jay Hingorani has a buy recommendation on Arrow Electronics and a hold on Avnet.
Do you see a catalyst for these stocks?
There doesn't appear to be any real impetus or catalyst over the near term to drive revenue and earnings growth. They all saw some margin pressure in the fourth quarter. We don't see a big PC refresh cycle, and don't see a lot of excitement around Microsoft's (MSFT) Vista. So there is no huge need to buy more material, especially considering our forecast for slower economic growth in 2007.

- - Legend puppy phase (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/critique-my-dog/410146-legend-puppy-phase.html)
Legend puppy phase
Legend is Patton's littermate :) There are three things about Legend that I like already: I think he has a better earset than Nikon (at least he did from 8-10 weeks, then they teepeed), possibly better/darker eye color, and so far not east/west in front. At 5 years old Nikon is still a bit east/west in front and his eyes are a tad light (for my taste) when he's looking into the sun. Legend's fur was very dark at birth and dark when I got him. He's still in the blonde phase with a black stripe down his back but I'm not worried, I think his color will be very nice. The main issue I have right now with Legend is that his nose is partially pink, it's been like that for about 3 weeks now. It doesn't really show up in pictures but it's there in person. Trying not to panic but if I can't show him, I guess I'll just save myself a boatload of UKC and USCA entries (he's not really a breeding prospect, though if we do IPO I would have liked to breed survey him as a nod to Nikon).
11 weeks
13 weeks
16 weeks (SO leggy right now!)
Such a stunning pup! Love how alert he is.
If you zoom in you can see the pink in the final photo. Did he injure it? I hope it heals or he grows out of it. Super cute. I like the color changes they go through.
I love the 2 puppies from this litter!!!!!
Little Pitter Patter (aka Patton) and Legend. :wub:
could it be snow nose?
Snow Nose: What is Snow Nose?
Oh no! Pink nose! You must send that adorable, gorgeous puppy down to me!!!
He looks great to me...can't see a pink nose...poor eye sight oh well
He looks really nice, Lies. I, personally, wouldn't worry about the nose just yet.
Not too worried, just kind of bummed since there was a UKC show last weekend and would have been nice to get him in Novice Puppy for some ring experience (for us both).

The power-guzzling paddy season opens on Tuesday, the electricity corporation is not ready to meet the enor mous demand. Neither the coal supply is restored in spite of promise nor has the Bathinda thermalenergy plant, which on Saturday hit a snag, been revived.
Because the Bathinda and Lehra Mohabbat plants are not operational, it has imposed power cuts on the domestic sector, in the rural areas particularly. The Talwandi Sabo plant also has stalled to add to worries.
Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) claims the coal crisis is resolved but it's not getting the committed six rakes a day, even though it has agreed to pay Rs 6 crore a day as advance freight and Rs 100 per ton of coal as advance payment to fuel supplier Panem mines of Jharkhand.
On June 4, PSPCL chairman and managing director (CMD) KD Chaudhri had stated that the coal crisis was over but latest input from the corporation sources suggests that the supplier has failed to keep its promise, since it loaded only four rakes each on June 4 and 5, and cut it to three rakes on June 6 and two on June 7.
This arm-twisting tactic has put the PSPCL in tight spot when it has to run full throttle from Tuesday. The power secretary took up the matter with deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal and now a Panem official will meet the power secretary in the coming week.
Sources said Panem was unhappy with the clause that imposed interest on advance payment.
Because of the "work to rule" agitation, the engineers have declined to respond to the emergency call to get two thermal-energy units at Bathinda and another at Lehra Mohabbat up and running after the technical snag on Saturday evening. They oppose the government's giving service extension to the CMD and allowing IAS (Indian Administrative Service) officers into the power corporation management.
Both plants will become fully operational from Monday. In spite of several attempts, PSPCL chairman Chaudhri could not be contacted for comments.

The murder of a minor blind girl after she was allegedly raped on Thursday triggered widespread protests in Odisha's Puri district, with people blocking the busy road from Puri to Konark, demanding strong action against the culprits.
"There have been allegations of rape before murder. Things will be clear after we obtain the post mortem report," Puri superintendent of police Anup Sahu said.
No arrest has been made so far.
The 13-year-old girl, a class 5 student in a blind school in Bhubaneswar, had gone to her village, about 65 km east of the state capital, for her summer vacation. The girl's father alleged that some people kidnapped her after midnight from the courtyard of their house where she was sleeping with her mother and grandmother.
Family members and neighbours discovered her absence after two hours and started a frantic search for her. They found her body without clothes in the morning in a bush on the outskirts of the village.
Molested and beaten, woman ends life
Molested and thrashed by goons, a widow allegedly committed suicide in Bundelkhand region's Damoh district, 250 km from Bhopal on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old woman and her two sons, aged nine and five, were the only ones at home in Hardwani village when the accused Gaurishankar Patel, Gattu Patel and Dharu Patel barged into the house and molested her.
When she raised an alarm the accused thrashed her and fled. She later consumed pesticide and died in hospital, where she was rushed by her brother-in-law.
She told him she decided to end her life because the goons frequently molested her.

The market is expecting the Australian Reserve Bank to cut interest rates today.
The Official Cash Rate across the Tasman was reduced from 3.5% to 3.25% in October.
ASB chief economist Nick Tuffley says a rates cut in Australia is not likely to influence our Reserve Bank's monetary policy statement on Thursday.
"From the Reserve Bank's point of view, their decision won't be very heavily influenced at all by an actual cut from the Reserve Bank of Australia.
"They'd be a bit more focused on the outlook for Australian growth, and how that might affect our exports."
Our 2.5% official cash rate has been unchanged since March last year.

While many of you reading this blog are just entering into Barnard, I am leaving. I am graduating from Barnard in two months.
Anticipating no longer being a student here, I have been reflecting a lot on my time here, and would like to share some of my thoughts with you.
I fell in love with Barnard during my senior year of high school when I came to visit as a prospective student. What drew me to Barnard during my visit were the students I met. Each young woman I interacted with exuded a certain vibrancy as she spoke passionately and articulately about the various activities she participated in, and classes she was taking. My initial impression of Barnard students has been repeatedly confirmed throughout my time here. I am consistently impressed with the high level of class discussion; the investment in, and quality of, my peers school assignments; and the breadth and depth of their involvement in extracurricular activities. No one here just enjoys learning Spanish, instead, if she is a Barnard student, she loves speaking Spanish, choosing to major in Spanish, spend a year studying abroad in Spain, and working to provide health care to Spanish-speaking undocumented immigrants in the city.
I can't write about the quality of Barnard students without writing about three of my closes friends here. All Barnard students, the four of us met within the first semester of our first year here. This will be our third year living together. I consider these three women part of my family. They are some of the smartest, most ambitious women I have every met. We also have incredible fun together, exploring the city, attending events on campus, and cooking some great meals. Watching how hard my friends work has inspired me to work harder myself. I do not think I would have taken on as much as I have if I hadn't seen how they were able to manage a full course load and several extra-curriulars. At the same time, these three have been the pillar of my support system here at Barnard, making this school a place where I can be both ambitious and vulnerable, with people I love to support both qualities. Here is a little bit about each of my roommates.
Amarynth switched from a Biology major to a History major. She is president of Feel Good, a non profit organization which makes grilled cheese sandwiches for donations, 100% of which go towards alleviating world hunger. She is also a Barnard Speaking Fellow, trained to develop and give workshops on public speaking. She is graduating Phi Beta Kappa and working for a law firm in Boston next year.
Cecelia is an English Creative Writing major. She is also a Barnard Writing Fellow, trained to give feedback on students writing samples. Additionally, she is the Music Director of the jazz A Cappella group on campus, Uptown Vocal.
Erin is a Physics major and an Art History minor. She conducts research with the physics departments at Barnard and Columbia. She also sings in Uptown Vocal. Next year Erin is attending Cambridge for a masters program. She is the first Barnard student in the schools history to receive the Gates Scholarship, which covers the full cost of her tuition to Cambridge. After receiving her master's degree she plans to pursue a PhD in physics.
(in the photo, from left to right, is Cecelia, Amarynth, Erin and me)
