UAB's UNCF Merck Research Fellows Attend NIH Event
Two UAB biomedical engineering students recently attended an event hosted by the UNCF Merck Science Initiative at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.
Ophelia Johnson and Donovan White were named UNCF Merck Undergraduate Research Fellows in the spring. They were joined by UAB biology student Quincy Jones, who also was named a UNCF Merck Fellow.
The three UAB students were among just 15 undergraduates selected nationally. In addition to the trip to the NIH, each Fellow will present a research project at Merck & Company's research and development facility this fall.
Each UNCF Merck Fellow receives a $25,000 award. The BME students may share their award with the department in the form of a departmental grant worth up to $10,000 per award.
Mechanical Engineering's Ross Earns Doctor of Philosophy in Computer and Information Sciences
Douglas H. Ross, an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering since 2009, successfully defended his dissertation on July 10 to earn a Ph.D. in Computer and Information Sciences.
Ross earned a bachelor of science in mechanical engineering from the University of Illinois, Champaign in 1979. He went on to work a variety of engineering positions in Illinois before relocating to Birmingham and joining UAB in 2002. He earned a master's degree from UAB in computer science with a specialization in computer graphics in 2007.
In his role as an assistant professor in ME, Ross has primarily focused on freshman-level classes. He taught the computer methods for engineering for several years and has taught the engineering graphics class as part of the FYE since 2008. He has mentored numerous introduction to engineering projects, including the Sumobots competition he introduced this past spring. He also teaches numerical methods, machine design and automated manufacturing.
Ross is also the School of Engineering representative for the UAB QEP of "Learning in a Team Environment".
Week-long Conference Gives Opportunities for Achievement and Education
The 38th Annual Southeastern Consortium for Minorities In Engineering (SECME) Summer Institute concluded on Friday with a day of tours and demonstrations at the School of Engineering.
SOE faculty and student volunteers explained the many opportunities available to students in the various engineering disciplines taught at UAB.
"For many of these students, this is the first time they've been able to set foot on a college campus and see the opportunities that a university offers its students," said Michele Williams, interim executive director of SECME, Inc. "That's one of the real values of this week, to allow them to see firsthand what they can experience as a student at a place like the UAB School of Engineering."
More than 100 middle and high school students from across the nation participated in the event, which covered three days of workshops, tours, and competitions.
Student participants earned their way into to the UAB event by winning local or regional events. The result was some high-level competition on Thursday when they put their pitted their engineering skills against one another in competitions involving robotics and mousetrap cars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MustBeJenAgain from Gorgeous I bought these bath accessories and shower curtain for a guest bathroom. They do not get a lot of use, but they look very pretty. The green is a pretty neutral color and would also go with white, ivory or beige. These items are expensive at Kohls unless on sale, but I found them at another store for a pretty good bargain.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great Produt, Love It We Love our new shower curtain, looks great with our newly painted walls & is Very well made. Purchased ceramic curtain leaf rings (also purchased/kohls) looks great together w/light olive color throw rug. Very Happy with outcome, have been working on this for along time & I wouldn't change a thing. Highly recommend!

Rated 1 out of 5 by SiShar from So disappointed - green is not a neutral color! The curtain deserves 4 stars but I'm so disappointed that I gave it 1 star. This is necessary to save others from wasting their time. The description says the colors are neutral but one of the prominent colors is a medium olive green. My bathroom is a lighter blue, the green does not compliment that blue. I understand that colors vary by computer but the description should not say this is neutral and it should mention the green. I'm sending this back.

Had to jump start three times. Green dot indicator is no longer there (it's black). Took the V to two dealers & first one said the batt is OK; second one charged the batt (it was low on charge). Green dot is no longer there (still black). I Googled battery green dot, and there are MANY opinions, but most say once the green dot is gone, it's not coming back. The battery status indicator (green, black, white) only is for one cell. Alternator & elec sys checks OK.
The dealer who charged the batt, will not replace it because it still shows "good" on their equipment. Other than getting a lawyer, what are my options?

Hi, Jan.
We had a very good travel in Praha.
Many thanks for your kindness and we were so happy for your good apartment.
I hope to visit Prague again.
Have a nice day.
We were 8 people sharing this apartment and it worked out fine. Enough space and nice beds. We had an awesome stay thanks to our great host, Jan. We could always contact him if we needed anything. He also showed us everything we should now about Prague (the best pubs, clubs, stores etc).
A great aparment with a lot of space, fully equipped and high standard. The host is very nice and helpful. We always walked into town because the aparment is so close to the interesting sights. I´d always recommend this accomodation.
We are happy to stay in the Jan's apartment. Spacious apartment and good connection to the center and the rest of the city. Good contact with John.
We had a nice week in this apartment. Everything worked out fine - clean and tidy. Easy to reach the center with the nearby tram stop. Jan was very helpful if we needed info about where to go and how to get there.
The only complaint we had was the fact that you only have access to the balcony leaving the apartment going upstairs half way to the next floor- this should be clear in the description of the flat.
Else I can highly recommend staying here.
It was wonderful stay in Jan's apartment. We were 8 people, there is enough space for all of us. Jan was very wonderful host. Nearby has a parking, shops, bars and pubs. We recommend this apartment to all who plan to visit Prague.
5 stars for Jan and his apartment!
Jan was a very charming host. We would not hesitate to recommend this apartment to all who would like to visit Prague. Well situated and very spacious, it is close to the train station and about 20 minutes to downtown Prague.
Great place! 5 minutes by tram from the centre of Praque. This was Our first experience with Wimdu, if every host is as helpful as Jan, than is it a good way to enjoy your holiday.
The apartment was large enough for our family (5 persons). A parking was 400 meters from the appartment. In the neighbourhood were several restaurants where the dinner was very good. A tip from Jan!

text: I'm wondering about how block device multipathing works in conjunction with the high availability features of an IP-SAN. Does the iSCSI initiator's session layer's retransmission capability and the IP-takeover capability of IP-SAN switches eliminate the need for block device multipathing in an IP-SAN? Does the iSCSI initiator present redundant paths to the SCSI mid-layer? Do these answers differ with software verses hardware iSCSI initiators?

N64oid Brings N64 Emulation to Android Devices
Craving some Ocarina of Time adventures, Super Mario 64 antics, or some Star Fox 64 flying on your Android device? N64oid brings retro emulation of Nintendo's popular N64 console to Android devices.
N64oid is an N64 console emulator for Android devices. You'll need a copy of the $5.99 emulator, ROMs (from the usual sources, unless you've got a ROM ripping setup in your basement and a stack of old cartridges), and a suitably speedy Android device. Older Android devices will find the playback choppy and subpar, but newer and speedier devices like the Nexus-One and Samsung Galaxy should have no problem handling the emulator.
Like all emulators N64oid is a work in progress and emulating an entire closed-system console on a totally different set of hardware is never a perfect 1:1 emulation, but if you're a die hard fan of classic N64 titles (check out this list of top ranked titles to inspire some nostalgia) N64oid is worth the price of a burger for sure.

Key medical figures:
• 114,200 outpatient consultations
• 6,700 individual and group mental health consultations
An estimated one million Syrian refugees have made their way to Lebanon, a country with a population of only four million.
Despite tremendous efforts by the Lebanese authorities and the provision of international aid, the various structures and schemes put in place to assist refugees are unable to cope with their numbers. As a consequence of the huge increase in new arrivals, tensions grew in 2013 and refugees were living in dire conditions with very little assistance. According to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) assessments, access to hospital care and free medicines for Syrian refugees were severely limited, and obstetric care was not available. It was difficult for them to benefit from health services because of the charges they had to pay –most had left everything behind and were struggling to support themselves. In 2013, MSF was present in Tripoli, the
Bekaa Valley
Beirut and Sidon (Saïda), delivering medical care to people directly or indirectly affected by the Syrian crisis, including Syrian refugees, irrespective of registration status, vulnerable Lebanese, Palestinian refugees, and Lebanese returnees from Syria. The majority of Palestinian refugees from Syria have gathered in Sidon at the vastly overcrowded Ein-el-Hilweh refugee camp, where there are regular security incidents and clashes between political factions. The camp has existed since 1948 and is the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, with an estimated population of75,000. As many people are experiencing symptoms of trauma and distress, an MSF mental health programme at Human Call hospital and two clinics in the camp provide psychological support. They also offer medical and psychological care for victims of sexual violence. In June, a team began to carry out consultations for people with chronic diseases at Human Call hospital. Outside the camp, MSF offers mental healthcare to Palestinian and Syrian refugees, as well as local residents, at the Saïda governmental hospital and the Palestinian Red Crescent hospital. A team implemented psychosocial activities for Syrian refugees living in unfinished buildings in the area. In Tripoli, Lebanon's second largest city and home to most of the Syrian refugees, MSF provided medical care for acute and chronic diseases, reproductive healthcare and routine vaccinations at Dar al Zahraa hospital in Abou Samra district. Clinicians, staff training, emergency management and donations of medical supplies wereprovided to the Tripoli government hospital. A mental health programme run out of the government hospital was handed over to the International Medical Corps in September. Treatment for acute diseases, reproductive healthcare and routine vaccinations were available at the Jabal Mohsen and the Bab el Tabbaneh dispensaries. Bekaa Valley A large number of Syrians crossing into Lebanon enter through the Bekaa Valley. Many people arriving here have suffered as a result of disrupted treatment for chronic diseases such as hypertension, asthma and diabetes. Those who stay in the region live in overcrowded conditions with host families or in scattered settlements in unheated abandoned or unfinished buildings, courtyards and tents. MSF worked
in Baalbek, Majdel Anjar (West Bekaa), and Aarsal and Hermel (North Bekaa), providing treatment for acute and chronic diseases, as well as reproductive healthcare. Patients included Syrian and Palestinian refugees, and Lebanese returnees. As winter approached, MSF began distributing blankets, fuel vouchers, washing kits and stoves to the most vulnerable new arrivals. Teams also helped refurbish public buildings in Aarsal in order to accommodate new arrivals. Five buildings were finished by the end of the year, two of which were already sheltering Syrian families.
MSF works in the Shatila camp in Beirut, where many Palestinians from Syria have sought refuge, focusing on the basic and mental healthcare needs of children, pregnant women and patients suffering from chronic diseases. The team set up a system for supporting patients with emergency surgical needs, and refers them to two hospitals with which MSF has agreements. A small team based itself in Southern Lebanon in February to provide basic healthcare for refugees. This project is ready to expand if there is another influx of refugees.
23 years old, Syrian refugee
My mother came yesterday with my two younger brothers from Qara. She had a very difficult journey because there was constant shelling on the way. It took them 18 days to get here. They moved from one neighbourhood to another until it was safe for them to cross the border. My husband and I took a van with our two children (four and two years old) 10 days ago. People were calling on each other in all Qara to leave. The situation was going to be very dangerous. The first couple of days we didn't move; we thought they were after young men for the army service. But then we understood that even women and children would be targeted. So we left.

Journey: Az Amazing az it getz!: Azamara Journey Cruise Review by Citizenship
Overall Member Rating
Journey: Az Amazing az it getz!
Destination: Asia
Embarkation: Singapore
So when I then noticed that Az Journey was doing Singapore to Hong Kong via Thailand (Koh Samui & 2 nights BKK, Klong Toey Port), and Vietnam (Overnight in HCMC, Da Nang & yet another overnight in Halong Bay) it was simply a matter of finding and booking a still vacant cabin.
We prefer O'view cabins and had to settle for an obstructed view cabin, but as it turned out we were fortunate in being able to look straight though the tender windows, so we still hahd a view of sorts.
I wll admit to being slightly anxious about whether 14 nts on Az Journey would ever be as good as 7nts on Az Quest last June? Put simply, it was. This is a classy, More yet unpretentious cruise line, with a strong emphasis on Customer service excellence, that is found in all departments, all the way through their ships.
We stayed at The Fairmont in Singapore, and took one of their Limo's to the older Singapore (Harbourfront) Cruise Center. Once there, porters were waiting with trolleys to take our cases to the luggage drop off point. It must have been all of 30 seconds, before we were then directed to escalators up to the check-in desks. Again it wasn't that busy and we were directed to a check in agent within 2 minutes. We'd completed all formalites so it was very simple indeed. Passports were checked, pre-printed Immigation forms for Thailand were signed, Mug shots were taken for the cruise card, and away we went next to Immigration, and finally onto the security check. End to end, it was almost a walk through experience. Having decided just before boarding the ship that we wouldn't need to go ashore again before departure, we surrendered our passports in return for a receipt. We didnt see our passports again until we debarked 2 weeks later. The cruise card sufficed throughout, but we always carried photo ID in the shape of our driving licences and photocopies of our passport face pages too.
So onto the ship itself, to a waiting glass of Fizz, the first of many such glasses amongst other drinks to be offered at receptions and parties, I hasten to add. We'd left the hotel at 12.30 and were on the ship by 13.20, it was all that quick.
We made our way up to the Windows Cafe, where lunch was still being served, and it was clear that many people had checked in much earlier, but we eventually found a couple of spare seats that quickly became the many, as the 'cabins are ready' announcement was made.
Having later found our (deck 6) cabin 6040, we were quite happy with it, small and compact, yet it had everything we needed, enough storage (we dont travel light!) and the obstructed view from the big picture wasnt too bad at all. Some days it was very good when the tenders were down, or the crew were on safety drills.
After the safety muster exercise, it was swiftly along to the Meet n Mingle in Looking Glass, hosted by Criuse Director Tony Markey and Hotel Director Riszard Gussman.
Let's just say, Azamara certainly know how to put on a good party, and there were 66 people there, 10% of the ships pasengers, that how important Azamara think that Cruise critic is to them, as Tony pointed out!
We also made bookings for Prime C and Aqualina on the first day, as we wanted to secure a booking for Valentines Day.
We booked 3 tours for Vietnam online before we left home. We considered then all good value, despite the cold weather, and considering the additional discount we received for booking online. The quality of the spoken English of all 3 guides was excellent.
I could go on at length about this cruise, the food, the receptions, the outstanding service, the Azamazing evening, and the shows, it was all so very well and graciously done. From Captain Jason, HD Riszard, and CD Tony down, everything was possible and nothing was ever too much trouble.
On many cruises, meeting the Captain or any of the senior officers is reserved for special occasions, on Azamara, I've found it to be almost a daily, and sometimes a multi-daily experience.
IMO both Tony and Riszard are top of industry performers, never too busy to say hello or chat, whilst always leading by example to the rest of their departments.
Special mentions too for Star Performer; violin virtuoso Craig Halliday, (totally brilliant, go see him somewhere, even if not on a cruise ship!) and also Az Journey's lead vocalists Amanda Poulson and Andrew Perry. Both had their own shows and also a show together.
Footnote: We picked up our passports in the cabaret lounge on the morning of departure. Once again Riszard was there, handing out passports, shaking hands with everyone and wishing us and everyone else a good journey home and a speedy return. On leaving the ship once logged out for the final time, out on the deck waiting to say goodbye was Capt Jason and CD Tony, so yet more handshakes and fond farewells.
Some people snipe at the fact that these ships are no longer new ships. I've even seen them referred to as 'bath tubs' by some.
All I can say is that I hope Azamara take any opportunity they can to acquire more of these wonderful 'bathtubs' as possible, and I sincerely trust those that dont like bathtubs are quite content to go along with the rest of the shower.
Score 10/10. Less

Cabin review: 6040
Nice cabin, once used to its size. Compact but well thought out, and not to much clashing of opposing doors. Space under the bed is enough for cases, if used from the end. too tight to go sideways.Bathroom is similarly small, only one at a time possible. Extractor fan good enough to keep it from getting too steamy in there. I found the wall hairdryer good enough, for my hair although there was another in the dresser drawer.

Zoe Collins is just like any other 15-year-old. She goes to school, hangs out with her friends and dreams to become an author; in other words, the usual.
Well, at least that's what it looks like. In truth, she is hiding a dark secret she dares confess to no one: the previous year she killed someone she loved.
The guilt is destroying Zoe, but one day she comes across a simple way to channel her remorse. A nun visits her school and tells her about the people on death row in America, so Zoe looks it up on the computer and soon enough she finds Stuart. As a man who killed his wife, Stuart knows exactly how Zoe feels; he killed someone he loved too. So Zoe picks up her pen and writes him a letter, which turns out to be the first of many.
After reading Annabel Pitcher debut book My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece in my Carnegie Shadowing Club in 2012, I was first in line to read Ketchup Clouds. It is the second book by Waterstone's Children's Book Prize winning author Annabel Pitcher, and although I think My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece is slightly better in the way it is presented, Ketchup Clouds is still an amazing read.
Annabel Pitcher is great at building suspense and you read almost the whole book until you find out who Zoe has actually killed. Zoe is very easy to relate to and has a good personality with lots of interesting quirks; this helps the book along, as the voice of Zoe is an intriguing one to listen to.
While Zoe's character lacks some of the refreshing innocence and frankness found in Jamie, the protagonist in My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece, Zoe is still a great storyteller, even if her way of viewing the world isn't quite so original.
I would definitely recommend this book for anyone looking for an invigorating, coming-of-age book. The young adult category can often come off as whiney and "woe is me" but this book proves that that is not always the case, even when the main character does have a lot to whine about. There are good authors of every genre if you just know where to look and Annabel Pitcher is one of them.

Renovated Rec Center, new Locke Terrace dedicated
R.I. House Speaker Gordon Fox, left foreground, Governor Lincoln Chafee, RIC President Nancy Carriuolo and Kyla Pecchia, president of Student Community Government, at the dedication.
Rhode Island College President Nancy Carriuolo, Governor Lincoln Chafee, Rhode Island House Speaker Gordon Fox and other state dignitaries were on hand to dedicate the college's new Recreation Center on Sept. 10. Also dedicated was the Dr. Ivy Denise Locke Memorial Terrace.
Photo gallery
The center underwent an extensive $12 million upgrade over the past 16 months and is now a state-of-the-art complex for students to utilize.
Don Tencher

Chafee described the Recreation Center as "a terrific addition to the already good facilities here at RIC."
Don Tencher, director of athletics, intramurals and recreation, lauded RIC students for their part in making the center a reality. He noted that students helped lead the original effort to get the project started, had input into the facility's design and funded the project though student fees.
Kyla Pecchia, president of RIC's Student Community Government, said, "I speak on behalf of the students when I say we are very proud of our new building."
The revitalized Recreation Center features a brand new two-story fitness center as a centerpiece among the many upgrades and additions to the building. There is also a completely renovated L-shaped pool area, a multi-purpose studio, 10 fully equipped locker rooms, a Wi-Fi lounge with big screen televisions and a completely renovated and resurfaced 32,000 square foot field house.
Additionally, an extensive wing to support intercollegiate athletics was added, which includes a wrestling facility, sports medicine area, multi-media room, coaches' offices and varsity training facilities.

The façade of the building includes a clock tower that will serve as a beacon for the college's newly transformed East Campus. The tower contains a reception space to support athletic fundraising and development initiatives.
The new Dr. Ivy Denise Locke Terrace, located just outside the pool area, was named in honor of the college's former vice president of administration and finance who died in 2010. The terrace includes umbrella tables and lounge chairs, and is surrounded by shrubbery.
RIC President Nancy Carriuolo said of Locke: "Ivy had many friends and counted among them the entire campus community. Ivy was also very creative; she always had a vision for what might be."

One of those visions was a poolside terrace. Locke had long been a proponent of the terrace, a place of relaxation in an outdoor setting that adjoins the indoor pool.
Construction for the terrace was made possible in part by the financial support of Locke's family, many of whom attended the dedication. Her parents, brother and several other relatives participated in a ribbon cutting at the terrace entrance – and celebrated a vision that became a reality.

Ruud heat pump high pressure switch
Did a job a couple weeks ago for some guy, he sent me to another job.
He said service valve was leaking and he wanted me to fix it, he also said the defrost board was bad.
The leak was two copper pipes rubbing each other, the defrost board was still good he just took the H/P switch out of the loop.
I have seen this a lot with Ruud units.
So what up with Ruud H/P switchs?
Its usually not the switch. But the way its installed. Or, its overcharged.
On the old short air handlers. If the regain collar wasn't made. Techs would over charge them in cooling mode. Which made them trip the HP switch in heating mode.
The name plate said 124 oz.
The charging chart said the head pressure on a 85 degree day should be 205
I put in 120 oz. and the head was 205
House temp. was 85 supply air was 64.
Make sure both coils are clean. And check air flow.

I recently finished reading More Than Just Race: Being Black and Poor in the Inner City by William Julius Wilson. The book is a bit academic in style and therefore can't be read as quickly or easily as your usual summer fluff reading. However, I still highly recommend it as a good resource to better understanding a complicated and controversial topic.
Wilson provides an excellent overview of this issue. He navigates the multitude of studies and stats, both past and present, pertaining to poverty and race and explains them well. His main point is that there are both "structural" and "cultural" causes for the poverty of inner city blacks and that we really can't discuss the issue without considering both factors. Studies and politicians who favor pointing the finger at structural causes are critiqued as not putting enough emphasis on personal responsibility and hard work. Conversely, studies and politicians who blame cultural causes alone are critiqued as "blaming the victim." Through careful analysis and comparison of various research, White shows us that neither structural or cultural causes alone can be blamed. Instead, favors explanations that take both into consideration.
In his concluding chapter he quotes a May 2008 speech by Barack Obama:
…the path to a more perfect union means acknowledging that what ails the African-American community does not just exist in the minds of black people; that the legacy of discrimination – and current incidents of discrimination, while less overt than in the past – are real and must be addressed, not just with words, but with deeds, by investing in our schools and our communities; by enforcing our civil rights laws and ensuring fairness in our criminal justice system; by providing this generation with ladders of opportunity that were unavailable for previous generations. It requires all Americans to realize your dreams do not have to come at the expense of my dreams; that investing in the health, welfare and education of black and brown and white children will ultimately help all of America prosper.
In White's mind, this is a good example of how to discuss this issue. The structural causes are acknowledged but so is the quintessentially American idea that working hard will bring success. Or as White puts it, the speech "called for all Americans to support blacks in their struggle to help themselves." I support that idea.

- Captain's Fury
Is that book from the series Codex Alera?
did you like them? they sound interesting.
Oh yes, I love the series! It is quite hefty but it never gets boring. The main character is such a crazy lovable genius. If you are as big of a fan of wit and sarcasm as I am, then you'll like the series too :)
May the odds be ever in your favour
-Effie, The Hunger Games
"What's this I'm eating by the way?"
".... Dragon balls."
*pukes all over Snape's shoes*
"You just bought yourself a month of detention, McLaggan. Not so fast Mr. Potter."
"When Gotham is ashes, you will have my permission to die."
-Bane, from "Dark Knight Rises"
I don't think so.
When Hermione said "Merlin's pants!" as an outburst in Deathly Hallows. :)
"First they came for the communists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak out because I was Protestant.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me."
-Martin Niemöller, a German anti-Nazi pastor, speaking about the inactivity of the intellectuals in Germany to the plight of other targeted groups
Indeed it is. I'm studying the Holocaust right now, and so far it has been incredibly painful to learn about the atrocities that happened. Have you ever watched Schindler's List?
It's only one of the best movies ever made, and one based on a true story at that. It was made in 1993 by Steven Spielberg, and Liam Neeson played the main character, Schindler, a German businessman who was responsible for saving 1,200 Jews from Auschwitz. Here's a trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W74jGQ-CDTE
"Carry my soul into the night
May the stars guide my way
I glory in the sight
As darkness takes the day
Ferte in noctem animam meam
Illustre stelle viam meam.
Aspectu illo glorior
Dum capit nox diem.
Cantate vitae canticum
Sine dolore acte
Dicite eis quos amabam
Numquam obliviscar
Sing a song, a song of life
Made without regret
Tell the ones, the ones I loved
I never will forget,
I never will forget."
-A deleted song from the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince movie (you should watch the original scene from the movie - it's very moving and a shame that it was deleted - the look on Snape's face was just so painful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX08rm5jUwE)
the scenes were in the movie right? but not the song? what song did they use?
That scene was not in the movie. :( They cut both the song and the scene out.
You might have seen it on abc family harry potter marathon. They do deleted scenes and I know I have seen the scenes on that.
o yea. that must be it. i noticed that they do that. i even had to put on the movie just to check!
It is really awesome when a new scene comes on. I'm always yelling through my house to no one in particular. "It's a new scene!!! New scene!! Turn on ABC family!!"
Haha! It is a big event.
Can we only imagine our reactions when Pottermore opens up? :D
It's in Beta right now, open only to the first million people that signed up. Schmucks like me that didn't sign up aren't able to get in.
"We could go for a generation without the doctors, and it would get ugly if you were injured or sick, but civilization would continue. We could go for a generation without engineers or mechanics, and things would break down, but civilization would survive. We could even go for a generation without teachers. The next generation would have to play 'catch up ball,' and it would be hard, but civilization as we know it would still survive.
If however, we went 'but a single generation' without the warriors who are willing to confront human agression every day, then within the span of that generation we would truly be 'both damned and doomed.'"
-Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, from his book (written with Loren W. Christensen) On Combat: The Psychology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace
Hmm, what a thoughtful statement! The problem is that, if everyone thinks like that, wouldn't it just increase human aggression? It's a very interesting cycle.
On the flip side, I got another quote:
"Always being so strong when others can't. That's...well, it's sort of heroic."
It's sort of idiotic," I replied, my voice dry. "Heroism doesn't pay very well. I try to be cold-blooded and money-oriented, but I keep screwing it up."
- Dead Beat
What Grossman was saying is that civilization could continue without doctors, engineers, etc., although it would be a more aggressive and rough existence. But if you do not have someone there to protect you against evil, you will die, and then civilization will come to a screeching halt, because everyone is dead.
Harry: Right. First we need to find a place to practice where Umbridge won't find out.
Ginny: The Shrieking Shack?
Harry: It's to small.
Hermione: Forbidden Forest?
Ron: Not bloody likely.
Ginny: Harry, what happens if Umbridge does find out?
Hermione: Who cares? I mean, it's sort of exciting, isn't it, breaking the rules.
Ron: Who are you and what have you done with Hermione Granger?
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Oh what would we do without Hermione and Ron's disfunctional relationship??
It's not dysfunctional - it's adorable!
That works. :D
"Spider pig! Spider pig!
Does whatever a spider pig does.
Can he swing from a web?
No he can't. He's a pig.
Look out! He's the spider pig!"
Homer, from "The Simpsons" - cracks me up every time, because I love pigs. :)
Here's a version that's kinda like that. :)
Can I post my own quote? It's not in a book but I figure this is the place to put it :)
Go right ahead! Whatcha got to show us?
I am not afraid of the dark.
I am only afraid of what it may conceal,
And the truth it demands.
U guys like?
"Oh, I may be on the side of the angels... but don't think for one second that I am one of them."
-Sherlock Holmes, from the "Sherlock" episode "The Reichenbach Fall"
I really like your quote sarah!!
And thank you eris for posting a sherlock holmes quote, you can never have to many of those :)

Actually, I do think I have an oppurtunity coming up this Sunday, at my youth group after church. I'm going to get a lot of strange looks from them... but then again, they already think I'm odd, so what's the loss? :D
:D what i wouldnt give for the looks on their faces when you say that haha
"Besides, nothin's real scary except in books."
To Kill a Mockingbird
Scout, such a brave little eight year old.
I wanted to share this quote with you guys because I just read this Sarah Dessen book and thought it was pretty good.
"It was terrible and awful when someone left you. You could move on, do the best you could, but like Eli had said, an ending was an ending. No matter how many pages of sentences and paragraphs of great stories led up to it, it would always have to have the last word."
― Sarah Dessen, Along for the Ride
The lentil is perhaps the world's most versatile, indestructible food. One can eat the lentil unadorned; marry it off to it's first cousin, the oafish "bulgur"; or attempt to drown it in harsh vinegar for a "vegan salad". But the lentil, alas, will always survive. Indeed, at the Packwood house, the tenacious little legume will forcibly resurrect, as free,of anything resembling taste as ever, and insinuate its indefatigable, pelletlike self onto yet another dinner plate, expecting to be eaten. Again, and again, and again.---Lucius Vladescu in Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side.
Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have. - Hermione Granger in The Order of the Phoenix (This one came from my 6 year -old daughter.)
"I hope this boy-meets-girl-pretending-to-be-boy story has a happy ending, one with less bitter and more sweet." - Babe In Boyland
"Only twenty-two of the original twenty-five in Drizzt's class remained. One had been dismissed – and subsequently executed – for a foiled assassination attempt on a high-ranking student, a second had been killed in the practice arena, and a third had died in his bunk of natural causes – for a dagger in the heart quite naturally ends one's life."
The Dark Elf Trilogy
Quotes from the Fault in our stars by John Green
1. "I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, then all at once."
2. "My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations."
3. "That's the thing about pain...it demands to be felt.
4. "Some people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them," I said.
"Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. That's what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway."
5. "The marks humans leave are too often scars."
6. "Oh, I wouldn't mind, Hazel Grace. It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you."
7. "Grief does not change you, Hazel. It reveals you."
8. "The world is not a wish-granting factory."
9. "And I wondered if hurdlers ever thought, you know, 'This would go faster if we just got rid of the hurdles."
10. "Because you are beautiful. I enjoy looking at beautiful people, and I decided a while ago not to deny myself the simpler pleasures of existence
11. "But it is the nature of stars to cross, and never was Shakespeare more wrong than when he has Cassius note, 'The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves."
12. "We're as likely to hurt the universe as we are to help it, and we're not likely to do either."
#66 Wow there are a lot of good quotes in there. My favorite though is number one. Anyone else want to vote??
I like #8 in that list. Not to say that life doesn't sometimes just plain suck, but I know too many people who want their wish-granting factory.
I was going through my Discworld books today, looking for quotes to use in an embroidery sampler. Here are a few of my favorites:
"What can the harvest hope for, if not for the care of the reaper man?" -Reaper Man
"People's whole lives do pass in front of their eyes before they die. The process is called 'living'." -not sure which book, one of the Death stories.
"Humans need fantasy to be human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape." -Hogfather
I think it's funny that most of my favorite lines are from Death.
From Steve Jobs' biography, quoting Jean-Louis Gassée, Apple's manager in France:
"I am a recovering assaholic. So I could recognize that in Steve." (pg 185)
Though still young, I can identify. I may not have been as severe as these men, but I don't mind. I'm glad I could set foot on path to recovery so sooner. I'm also glad this fine Frenchman has put a word to it.
"and so the lion fell in love with the lamb..."
~Edward, twilight
Not a book, but still good.
King: Like it or not, this is a man's world.
Alexa: A woman can be just as strong as a man.
King: We're talking about your sister.
#75 Haha, where is that from??

"Living with a cat in heat is akin to listening to a badly scratched album playing heavy metal music, backwards, full blast, while you are being audited by the IRS."

I love Bones! My husband and I are almost finished with season three of Star Trek, then we'll start The Next Generation. On a related note, I came across this article yesterday: "Mr. Spock Is Dreamy!" by Isaac Asimov, written in 1967. I love it!
Edited to fix broken HTML code. Sorry 'bout that, donnao!
I'll have to see if I can find that article. I always had a crush on Spock, but didn't care for Kirk so much.

College is not an obvious setting for a Pixar movie. For all the vaunted animation studio's reputation for producing mature, adult children's films, college lends itself to a more immature brand of adult humor -- the kind with lots of nudity, profanity, and outrageous drunken antics. Sure enough, Pixar's 'Monsters University' brings new meaning to the phrase "safe school" -- this G-rated riff on 'Revenge of the Nerds' and 'Animal House' (they probably thought about calling it 'Monster House' at some point, right? They had to) doesn't push any envelopes in terms of content or humor. It's basically a formula college comedy, minus the raunch, in the world of 'Monsters Inc.' Nevertheless, it's a formula executed by some very talented animators, who've produced a lively, if mostly forgettable, movie.

2011 was a wild year in the world of sports. Sadly, much of the drama occurred off the field and left many of us vainly searching for an answer to the question, "How could they have let this happen?" But


text:
There are all sorts of ways to search for meaning in life, or give meaning to it, and we're not handed a checklist at birth. The characters in A Bright New Boise, by Samuel D. Hunter, come up with a wide array of meanings, to various and sometimes disappointing results. 2nd Story Theatre's well-performed production (through March 30), directed by Mark Peckham, helps us sympathize with their solutions, each of them fashioned in desperation.
We're in the break room of an Idaho iteration of the Hobby Lobby, a nationwide big box chain of arts and crafts supplies, protecting greater Boise from a construction paper shortage. At first we think this could be a comedy, or at least a dramedy, because one prominent character is such a stitch. Pauline (Suzy Bowen-Powers) is the store manager, so competent that she has turned this branch from a rat-infested dump into a thriving showcase. Frantic but self-possessed, she tosses F-bombs like confetti and calmly tolerates her staff's neuroses as long as they keep stocking shelves and manning cash registers.
But the central character is Will (Nathanael Lee). He has just moved here from up north, ostensibly for a change of scenery. He is also escaping a church scandal he was peripherally involved in, but his main reason for relocating is that his relinquished-at-birth teenaged son works at Hobby Lobby.
That's Alex (Patrick Saunders). He's a reclusive, nervous wreck of a kid, and when his hitherto unmet bio dad announces himself, Alex wants nothing to do with him. But his adoptive parents have made him feel unwanted, so his reluctance is bound to change.
Will presents a mystery for us, standing in the parking lot, looking up and muttering, "Now! Now! Now!" We learn that he is a fundamentalist who believes in an imminent Rapture, that glorious day of Apocalypse when all of us unworthy unchosen ones will stare up in envy as good Christians rise to heaven intact. The playwright risked our dismissing the guy as a loony, but before we learn of Will's belief we see him anchored by parental love, patient in the face of the boy's abusive resentment. Hell is hell on Earth, both Will and Alex separately, explicitly express, to dire consequences. When we learn that the scandal Will was involved with concerned the death of a teenaged boy, we know why the absent father chose this time to seek out his son.
Lightening this dark atmosphere, since Pauline and her fuck you's can't be around all the time, is Anna (Tray Gearing). Her search for meaning, apparently, is simply a search for a man to take her away from being home with her father and brothers. She and Will both usually hide as closing time approaches so they can have some peace and quiet, she to read and he to work on his online blog/novel. She's cheerful and flirtatious, at least until he shows his true personality; a hint is that when she blurts a mild swear word, he explosively objects.

HD 189773 A's companion planet (HD 189773 Ab), discovered in 2005, became the first extrasolar world to have its surface temperature accurately determined. Researchers led by Drake Deming from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center used heat-sensing infrared instruments aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope to image the star with the planet at its side and then again with the planet hidden behind it. By subtracting one from the other, the team was able to distinguish the planet's heat from that of its star. They recorded a temperature for HD 189733 Ab of 844°C (1117 K) – a high value as expected because of the planet's very small orbit.
In 2007, spectroscopic measurements obtained using Spitzer revealed the presence of water vapor in the atmosphere of HD 189733 Ab. This discovery confirmed what some theorists had predicted that "hot Jupiters," such as HD 189733 Ab, are "wet". Although the water on HD 189733b is too hot to condense into clouds, previous observations of the planet from Spitzer and other ground and space-based telescopes suggest that it might have dry clouds, along with high winds and a hot, sun-facing side that is warmer than its dark side. The discovery also suggests that water – an essential ingredient of life as we know it – occurs commonly on planets throughout the universe. In 2008, researchers found methane in the atmosphere of HD189733 Ab – the first detection ever of an organic molecule in the atmosphere of an extrasolar world.
HD 189773 Ab has the largest photometric transit depth of any so far observed; when it passes in front of its host star it results in a reduction of the amount of light received by 3%.
HD 189773A has a red dwarf companion, HD 189733 B. The two stars orbit around their common center of gravity at a mean distance of about 216 AU every 3,200 years.

text: Hi guys, I am new to the GMTruckClub forum so this question may have been asked before, but I couldn't find it by doing a search, so I am just going to ask again. I have a 2002 Chevy Silverado 4x4 5.3L V8 with a 6" RCD Lift and 35" BFG Mud Terrain tires. Its a beast off road, but what I need is something to give me a few more mpg. I drive back and forth to work 5 days a week in it and it's starting to pay a toll on my bank account. I am willing to spend around $500 to buy a programmer chip that will increase my fuel economy as well as give me that extra horse power. Please link me to a website that sells the product you are advising on (if you can) otherwise just give me the make and model of the product and a rough estimate of what it cost. Thanks a lot guys, and if your in Oregon checkout my website www.oregonquading.com

While not an entirely a new concept, there has been increased interest
in what's called the "Flipped Classroom." Typically, "flipping" is
considered to be the practice of using video segments to disseminate
content-rich lessons outside of the classroom, thereby allowing
classroom time to be used for interaction and hands-on activities.
However, the flipped classroom model can take many forms and may also

Ohio is scheduled to implement new standardized computer-based testing next school year.
John Charlton, associate director for media relations at the Ohio Department of Education (ODE), said instead of taking a cumulative exam, such as the current Ohio Graduation Test (OGT), students will take 10 end-of-course exams across the core subjects, such as social studies and math. One section of each assessment is taken three-fourths into the school year and another at the end. Students will need to earn at least 25 points across all 10 tests to graduate.
Schools will also administer similar assessments to track student progress in grades three though eight.
Charlton said the graduating class of 2018 would be the first class to be assessed by the new standard and any student set to graduate before would still have to pass the OGT.
Mike Bayer, director of curriculum and instruction at the Stark County Educational Service Center, said he is unsure of when the new standardized testing will take over completely.
"With the way legislation is going, you never know," Bayer said.
Charlton said a need for changes in legislative language may delay phasing out the OGT for a year or two.
With a move away from pencil and paper, students will be able to apply knowledge in new, more real-world ways.
Test takers will be able to answer questions by building charts and writing short answers rather than filling in bubbles, said Sherry Unger, curriculum director at Louisville City Schools.
Administrators in districts around the area are looking forward to the new assessment.
Unger said the transition makes sense as more and more education is being done online and with technology.
"We're seeing more institutions of higher learning move toward online testing," she said.
Unger's only concern is related to technology. She said there are many schools lacking the technology infrastructure necessary to administer the test.
Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC), a group developing the language arts and math portions of the assessment, and the American Institute of Research, which is developing science and social studies questions, have set minimum technology standards each district needs to meet in order to administer the test, said Rob Gress, assistant superintendent for Alliance City Schools.
Gress said despite a strained budget, the district has met those standards.
"We feel we'll be well positioned to handle it," he said.
The state is looking to help districts with a shortage in technology through the program Technology Readiness Tool. The program allows each district to make the ODE aware of its technology capacity and needs.
Charlton said the ODE would bring those needs to legislators in search of grant money. He said the state is still waiting on districts to take part in the program. However, many districts should be ready.
"We do believe a lot of districts have what they need," he said.
West Branch Local Schools Superintendent Scott Weingart isn't so much concerned with a lack of technology as he is possible tech problems, such as battery life not lasting long enough. He also wants to make sure every student will adapt to the new computer-based test.
To help with the transition and to better prepare students for technology use in the classroom in general, Weingart said, the district has been administering a few different online tests to middle school and high school students.
The Louisville and Alliance districts have taken action to prepare students as well.
Gress said Alliance started the Freshman iPad Mini Project. Louisville, Unger said, started an interactive technology class at the elementary level. The class is in its second year.
Administrators also agree the new system would take some pressure off test takers.
Gress said having 10 subject tests throughout the high school career instead of piling information from several subjects into the OGT will make it easier for nervous test takers to do well. In addition, the system is set up so that if a student scores poorly on one test, then he or she can make up for it with the score from another.
Weingart said the test will help schools assess student progress as it will follow the previously adopted Common Core, a base of education standards used in Ohio schools. Weingart said the OGT was not based on those standards.
This spring, Louisville, Alliance and West Branch, as well as the Marlington and Sebring districts, will participate in a pilot program for the test. The program will allow educators to gauge student readiness and the state to work out any kinks.
"It's a great way for us to learn what works and what doesn't work," Weingart said.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - After guiding the University of Richmond Spiders football team to a share of the CAA Championship and a five-win turnaround, head coach Danny Rocco was named one of five finalists for the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award. A four-time Liberty Coach of the Year Award finalist, Rocco was named a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award for the fourth time last month.
Following a highly successful tenure at Liberty, where he was a three-time Big South Coach of the Year winner, Rocco took over a Richmond squad this season that went 3-8 and 0-8 in conference play in 2011.
In 2012, Rocco led the Spiders to a share of the CAA Football championship, posting an overall record of 8-3 and a conference mark of 6-2. The five-win turnaround is the second-best in the history of Richmond football, while the six-conference win improvement was the best in the CAA.
The Spiders had numerous quality wins this past season, defeating Villanova in Philadelphia, while also taking down then No. 2-ranked James Madison. Richmond also defeated perennial CAA power Delaware at Robins Stadium.
The Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award recognizes college football coaches who demonstrate Sportsmanship, Integrity, Responsibility and Excellence both on and off the field. Endorsed by the College Football Hall of Fame, the program awards one winning coach from each NCAA division (I-FBS, I-FCS, II, and III) with $50,000 to donate to a charity of their choice, a $20,000 grant to each school's alumni association, and the Coach of the Year trophy.
The five FCS finalists were determined as a result of fan voting through CoachOfTheYear.com and Twitter from September 12 through December 1, and evaluated through an objective scoring model endorsed by the College Football Hall of Fame. To qualify for this model, each coach was among the top 15 in fan votes in the FCS division. Those coaches were then evaluated against a series of on- and off-field criteria; including wins, team penalties, sportsmanship, academic performance by the student-athletes, and charitable commitments in their communities and beyond.
Beginning today through December 20, Richmond fans can log their Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year vote for Coach Rocco by visiting coachoftheyear.com on their PC, tablet or mobile device and posting a pre-populated tweet. As part of Liberty Mutual's partnership with the National Football Foundation, a selection committee of more than 50 College Football Hall of Fame players and coaches, including Archie Manning, Lou Holtz, Vince Dooley, Ronnie Lott, Archie Griffin; as well as national college football media, such as Colin Cowherd, Stewart Mandel and Tim Brando, will evaluate the coaches based on their responsibility, integrity and on-field success to help determine the four coaching winners from the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), FCS, Division II and Division III. Winners are ultimately determined using the following voting weight: Fans 20 percent, College Football Hall of Fame 55 percent, and Media 25 percent.
Liberty Mutual will announce the four winners the morning of the BCS Championship game, January 7, 2013, in South Florida. The FCS coaching winner will receive a $50,000 donation from Liberty Mutual to the charity or charities of his choice, as well as a $20,000 scholarship grant in their name to their school's alumni association. Since 2006, the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award has celebrated the work of its 21 winners by donating more than $1.5 million to over 90 charities and college alumni scholarship funds.
