Victim #20
As I stepped out of the party with my new friends I immediatly felt something staring at me. My other senses were very strong since my eyes were so weak. I fell to the ground as something black jumped over head. I ran down the street as fast as I could calling for help, hearing the screams behind me.
Unfortuanatly I tripped and fell extremly hard on the ground. My body was wracked with pain as i felt my face hit cement. I rolled over with a moan feeling the warm blood drip slowly down my face.
That's what drew it. My blood. It pounced on my and bit me with a lot of pain. When I awoke an old woman huddled over me apologizing that nothing more could be done. I glanced into the mirror near the bed to see a huge bloodthirsty wolf staring back. I screamed.

Adding a new course to the curriculum requires approval not only from one's department chair but also from the University. The College Curriculum Council (CCC) is the faculty-student committee charged with approving new undergraduate courses. A subcommittee of the CCC reviews new course proposals on a rolling basis; however, key deadlines for course approvals by the pre-registration period and the start of the term are posted on the Registrar's website. Proposals for new courses can be completed online and should contain the following:
- a catalogue description of 100 words
- a description of educational goals
- a discussion of workload expectations and assessment measures
Visiting faculty will be required to submit a working syllabus before approval; and graduate student instructors will be required to submit a syllabus and curriculum vitae.
Instructors who are interested in designating one of their courses as writing intensive, liberal learning, or diverse perspectives may do so on the online form or by sending a recent syllabus to Besenia Rodriguez, Associate Dean of the College for Curriculum.
The Sheridan Center for Teaching and Learning offers online resources to help faculty with some aspects of course and syllabus design.

Here's an unexpected consequence of a protracted labor battle between the NFL and its players: It could doom the Minnesota Vikings' chances of new stadium approval in 2011.
No one is sure how any of this will play out, and it's quite possible the Vikings would fall short even if the NFL and its players quickly resolve their differences. But here's the bottom line: The Vikings are counting on up to $150 million from the NFL to fund construction, but that money wouldn't be available until a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) is reached.
As we discussed last month, a stadium approved this year is likely to cost between $920 million and $1.2 billion. In previous years, the Vikings have pledged a private contribution of about one-third the cost of a roofless stadium. We estimated that total to be around $215 million.
The NFL contribution has been included in that figure in past estimates, the result of its long-standing G-3 loan program that provides upfront cash for construction and is repaid through the visitor's share of club seat revenue in the new stadium. But the G-3 fund is dry and its future is a part of the current labor disagreement.
The Minnesota state legislature typically adjourns during the third week of May. If there is no agreement by then, you would have up to a $150 million gap in financing for a plan that would already require at least $700 million in state funding.
Vikings owner Zygi Wilf could temporarily cover the difference, as could the state. But would the gap prove a deal-breaker? I don't know. During a meeting with local reporters last month, Vikings vice president Lester Bagley suggested a stadium deal could be reached and made contingent on a new CBA. That arrangement would allow for the NFL money to be plugged in and construction to begin whenever the owners and players have a new deal.
Otherwise, the funding gap could push the issue into the 2012 session, which will open about a month before the expiration of the Vikings' lease at the Metrodome.
Again, I don't know how this will play out. We're talking about less than 20 percent of the stadium's total cost. But in an already-uphill battle, every penny counts.

First day of clinic! First day of clinic!

In an analysis of privatisation plans placed in the House of Commons library this week, BZW also says: "If Sizewell B were to perform poorly, this could prejudice the privatisation of any company which owned it."
The investment bank's comments, highlighting the importance of Sizewell B's track record by the time of privatisation, are likely to reinforce opposition complaints in the Commons that the privatisation is being pushed through in a hurry.
There will be less than a year from the end of June, when Nuclear Electric has targeted Sizewell B to run at at full power, to the sell-off.
Jack Cunningham, the Labour trade spokesman, claimed on Tuesday that the privatisation was unlikely to raise more for the Government than the cost of Sizewell B.
Nuclear Electric acknowledged yesterday that the station has yet to face a crucial operating test in the run-up to full power.
It must demonstrate three full days of continuous operation at maximum output of 1,188 megawatts to gain a rating certificate that will allow continuous operation on the National Grid.
Currently, the station is running three days at a time at about half power as part of a series of tests of its shut-down mechanisms for the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate, which oversees nuclear safety.
Performance in the coming weeks is likely to be monitored closely by the Government's advisers.
The BZW document says that with the general election due by April 1997 the latest practicable date for privatisation in this parliament is like to be spring or summer next year, after the company's annual results.
The analysis says investor education will be crucial to privatisation because of a "lack of familiarity with the industry".
Institutions would see the company as a utility and their primary focus would be on its ability to produce dividends.
But they are "likely to start from the position that a nuclear generating company will be a riskier investment than other privatised generators and should therefore command a higher divident yield".
The privatised generators currently command a dividend yield of around 4 per cent.
BZW lists the critical path to privatisation as restructuring of the industry, agreeing reprocessing contracts with British Nuclear Fuels - which have in fact just been signed - and clearing restructuring proposals with the European Commission if they are considered to involve state aid.Reuse content

Palavras-chave: Villa
This is a nice 2 bedroom condo very conveniently located in Palmetto Dunes. It has an upstairs bedroom accessed by a spiral stair case. The first floor bedroom is very nice and fairly roomy. We enjoyed the deck which overlooked some natural area. The owners were great and very easy to work with! The condo was clean and just great for our wedding weekend.
Palmetto Dunes, and in particular St Andrews Commons, is THE BEST place to stay on HHI bc it has the least "touristy" feel to it. This villa we stayed in was SO COMFORTABLE and SO "homey"! The decor was beautiful, it was clean and obviously well taken care of. The bedroom up in the loft was PERFECT for our teen and tween daughters; having their own big bathroom and TV...they loved it! Our bedroom was like an oasis after a long day of swimming and island adventures. The bed was huge and comfortable. Just so relaxing. We loved the large dining table where we played cards and some games each night as a family! And we LOVED the book selection! "Take a book, leave a book"...what a great idea! I read 2 books from those shelves! There were cards and a few games available also. Fun family bonding. We really couldn't have asked for a better villa. We also used the free Dune Buggy service which was fast and easy! Better than searching for parking or loading our car with wet and sandy chairs and towels. We walked to the General Store every morning for both exercise and shopping. The pool was perfect! Never crowded, CLEAN, and really close to the villa. We even walked to Shelter Cove for the fireworks! What a convenient, safe and clean walkway UNDER the highway! Sure beats fighting traffic at Shelter Cove on fireworks night!! Overall, a fabulous, CLEAN, beautifully furnished, comfortable villa. We WILL be back!!
The condo is very well furnished and is ideal for vacationing in HHI. We enjoyed kayaking, biking (on the beach) and exploring Savannah. The fireworks display on Tuesday night in Shelter Cove and visiting Harbour Town were particular highlights. Michael and Maryellen kept in touch and provided all the information we needed for a great vacation. Thanks !
This wasn't our first trip to HH. It has become a family destination. Our time spent at your villa was great. We live St. Andrews.. (The vegetaion in HH is one of the reason we love going there).The villa was spacious and comfy. Thanks for the cable and wifi. ( a must with two teenage daughters. Lol ) everything we needed was there. The lofted second bedroom area was perfect for them especially having a full bath to themselves. Only suggestion.. An electric grill on the deck (if permitted) for those like me who love to grill steaks, and a new lock/knob on the outside closet for easier access to the beach chairs. We had a tough time getting it open. Other than that it was great. The deck was nice for morning coffee. Beaches always clean and we even relaxed by the pool one afternoon. Water was nice, and plenty of shaded areas and even a couple of sun decks. I suggest one hot mammas( great wings!), Reileys ( fabulous pot pie!), and fat baby's.. Pretty decent pizza. We rode our bikes on the beach in the evening and took a nice kayaking trip in the lagoon in Hilton head.. Can't wait for our trip back.. Although because of the heat we may try visiting in the fall. Thanks again for sharing your villa! Can't wait to revisit and will make sure your villa is whee we go!
St Andrews is ok. The pool leaves a bit to be desired. It is surrounded by trees and it was difficult to find sun on a consistent basis from 11AM-2PM. The water was so cold (last week of May) that even children who were there refused to swim in it.
The unit we stayed in was a "2 bedroom" which is a generous description. It is a 1 bedroom with beds in a loft. The loft affords absolutely no privacy so if the unit was being shared by 2 couples there could be some uncomfortable moments to say the least. The appliances were dated - the dishwasher racks had places which were rusted through on both the top and bottom racks.
To top it all off, I received a "ticket" for $100 from the local Palmetto Dunes private security for illegal parking at the beach near the Dunes House. I paid it because they charge the people you rent from if you don't but it is a racket. The place where I parked was beyond the "No parking Fire Lane sign". I parked there every day from Tuesday to Friday and got the ticket on Friday. The car behind me (which was not beyond the sign) was also ticketed, but the car behind him was not (I am sure it wasn't because that car clearly belonged to a property owner in Palmetto Dunes).
Here's a suggestion: Clearly mark the no-parking area, put the sign at the line where the no parking starts, and if you are going to paint a yellow line make it more than 2.5 inches wide and refresh the yellow paint more than once every 5 years. It would also help if you blew the leaves off of it once in a while so you could actually see it. (I thought it was really nice of the guy who wrote the ticket to scrape the leaves up so it could be seen when we returned from the beach).
All that being said Palmetto Dunes is our favorite place to stay on HHI. If we return, we would rent this place again as long as we don't bring the family..
Our favorite restaurants are Mangiamo's (Buckeye bar on the island - great pizza and if you go to the restroom you can do your business on a blue and yellow M); Guiseppi's (great antipasto salad, pizza is second to Mangiamo's, it's the Steeler's bar on HHI which would be nice if I weren't Browns fan); and San Miguel at Shelter Cove (wonderful Mexican - they serve "white" Mexican rice which is awesome and totally unique).
I am over Sea Pines, seems like the shops there are tired, the restaurants are overpriced, and we have done the lighthouse enough. Coligny has a Skillets restaurant which was good and the Fudge Shop.
My husband and I immediately felt comfortable staying in this villa. The layout of the villa was very efficiently designed , with everything centralized and convenient to use. The location was also perfect for us, with the workout club a walk away and the beach, golf and tennis a pleasant and safe bike ride on beautiful bike paths. Our hosts were most accommodating, answering all our questions, and providing many activity options, which we took advantage of: tennis, pickleball, golf, the beach, wildlife refuges, horseback riding and lots of exploring with our bikes. We didn't need to go out to eat, with all the fresh seafood available and specialty grocery stores. However, there were many options and we hope to try a few more next time. Yes, we hope to come again!

Dragon Blade Blu-ray Product Description
Please note this is a region B Blu-ray and will require a region B or region free Blu-ray player in order to play.
Two thousand years ago, a mysterious legion of extremely fearsome warriors marched along the famous Silk Road. The soldiers were part of a Roman legion led by General Lucius (John Cusack; Being John Malkovich, High Fidelity), marching east to protect Publius, the youngest son of Consul Crassus, from his vicious brother Tiberius (Adrien Brody; The Pianist, The Grand Budapest Hotel). After becoming lost in the desert they arrive at Wild Geese Gate, where Lucius meets Huo An (Jackie Chan; Rush Hour, Drunken Master), the Commander of the Silk Road Protection Squad of the Western Region. The two men - who have each been framed for treason - earn each other's respect and form an allegiance as Tiberius eventually arrives with his army, demanding Huo An hand over Lucius and Publius or witness his forces annex China. To protect his country and to clear his name of treason, Huo An gathers all the allies of China to unite together and take on Tiberius in an epic battle that will be remembered forever

Like the lady says, she's a band unto herself
Molly Gene One Whoaman Band
Folk Blues and Booze
US: 25 Oct 2011
UK: Import
Molly Gene plays slide guitar and foot-pedal drums, all while singing her guts out. Her songs are a barn-burning blend of stomping blues and earthy folk, and although spiced with occasional dashes of harmonica and tambourine, the heavy lifting is done by the pummeling guitar thrash and warbling, shaky-but-expressive vocals. Standout cuts are many, including the racy, raunchy "Smells Like Low Tide," with its unexpected tempo shifts, and the snaky, sneaky "Kiss Me Quick." Foot-stomper "White Girl From Missouri" provides a change in mood, while "Dinks Song" replaces sass and attitude with wistful introspection. The album is remarkably consistent overall, and Gene's energy never flags over its fifteen tracks. It's all rough as hell, and at times her croaking holler comes off as affectation, but far more often it comes out like a spontaneous outpouring from the gut. People who complain that "they don't make them like they used to" should take note: Molly Gene still does, and then some.

Canadian retailer leading the push towards widespread adoption of 60-ft. containers
SAINT-JEAN-SUR-RICHELIEU, Que. – Canadian Tire's vision to widely deploy 60-ft. containers took a huge step forward this week, with the Canadian invention of an extendable chassis that can carry both 53- and 60-ft. containers.
Neil McKenna, head of transportation for Canadian Tire, got his first look at the new extendable chassis at Max-Atlas's manufacturing plant here Dec. 20 and invited Truck News to accompany him. Also along for the demonstration were: Gary Fast, associate vice-president, international transportation operations and support with Canadian Tire; Gary Kunzli, account manager, CP Rail; and Jimmy Zborowsky, an Ontario-based Max-Atlas sales rep.
McKenna tasked Max-Atlas with developing a container chassis that could handle both sizes of containers and though the manufacturer set an internal deadline of seven months, just two months in it had two partial prototypes to demonstrate. Both models featured an extendable gooseneck. One featured a fabricated trombone and cam rollers while the other was a "tube-within-tube" design, also with cam rollers to facilitate the extension.
Both were easy to operate with one hand, a key design requirement. The operator just flips a lever and then easily extends or retracts the gooseneck to switch between 53- and 60-ft. configurations. The only additional maintenance required is greasing of the cam rollers. Tibor Varga, president of Max-Atlas, said both designs will work, but seemed to favor the tube-within-tube design, due to its lower manufacturing costs and relative simplicity – fewer rollers, and less welding is required. The tube-within-tube design adds about 200 kgs compared to a conventional 53-ft. container chassis.
Canadian Tire reps were clearly delighted with both designs.
"I was very impressed with the Max-Atlas team," McKenna told Truck News afterwards. "I saw a prototype of a unit that was very impressive. It's not often you get a chance to lead the world in innovation in any field, and to have a Quebec and Canadian manufacturer able to bring something like this to market is exceptional and something to be commended."
The patent-pending extendable gooseneck chassis won't be brought to market immediately. First, the prototypes will be finished and then delivered to CP's Montreal yard for testing. Canadian Tire is hoping to place an order in January and begin deploying 60-ft. containers where it's legal to do so. Not all provinces allow the 60-ft. boxes on the roads – ironically, Quebec, where they're built, does not allow them on-road – but in provinces that regulate total combination length, such as Alberta and Ontario, the containers can be deployed right away.
In fact, Canadian Tire already has one 60-ft. prototype container in use and is about to take delivery of another four 60-ft. fixed chassis.
"Our partners at CP Rail have taken this (prototype) unit to Vancouver and back with no problems on the rail network," McKenna said.
A modified Volvo tractor is used to pull the container on the road. Fast said the wheelbase was extended to accommodate the deep set kingpin.
"We took our existing (tractor) spec', brought it to Volvo and literally severed the wheelbase and added extra length to it to be able to accommodate the kingpin," Fast explained.
The extendable chassis will need to be pulled by a modified tractor while in 60-ft. configuration, but any tractor will work when it's set up for 53-ft. cans.
Canadian Tire is enjoying a 13.7% increase in payload using its first 60-ft. container, compared to traditional 53-footers.
"That's significant," McKenna said. "For a fleet our size, if we were to convert to a complete 60-ft. fleet – and by no means will this happen anytime soon – but if we could convert, we could take close to 1,000 containers and chassis out of our fleet and move 14% more payload with reduced greenhouse emissions as an additional benefit."
He thinks it's the future of intermodal transport in Canada.
"I don't think that there's anything stopping this," he said. "I believe once we've proven and demonstrated the 14% improvement it will be too much of a competitive advantage to not want for anyone moving payload – especially light payload – to seek that added capacity."
McKenna notes Canadian Tire pioneered the use of 53-ft. containers a quarter century ago and he fully expects other retailers to follow suit once Canadian Tire has proven the viability of 60-footers.
"I fully expect they will," he said. "Retail is competitive and you can't fall behind. Once we demonstrate we are moving our payload with this equipment and our carriers are on-board, I think competitors will be asking their rail and over-the-road carriers for a similar product."
Kunzli said CP Rail has had no difficulties accommodating the prototype 60-ft. container across its network. It rides atop conventional containers on CP's intermodal flatcars.
McKenna has been pursuing the use of 60-ft. containers for several years now. It began as an idea to transition to 57-ft. containers, capable of accommodating two additional pallets, but he upped the ante when he saw another retailer was pulling a 60-ft. trailer on Ontario roads.
"When we understood Ontario would accept 60-ft. (trailers) on the road several years ago, we decided if that was the case, why stop at 57? We began the design process of designing a 60-ft. container and chassis," McKenna said. "We're excited. We are seeking to grow the fleet starting in 2017 and if all goes well, will begin a conversion to a uniform 60-ft. fleet over the next decade and a half."
Why stop at 60′ why not 75′? The dangers of driving the extra lenght don't change much,they increae, and it gives larger shipping volume for shippers.Of course weigt limits would have to be increaced. What about the drivers, more responcability and stress,but who cares-not the shippers or receivers just make it on time. The nation servived with 45′ trailers but bean-counters got involved.
Unfortunately John, we are living on a nation of price roll backs and other cost saving measures. There are large savings to having bigger containers, that means we have less trucks on the road, less drivers, less perceived risk of accidents (thus: less liability) less breakdowns of mechanical parts, less downtime, and so on and so on. It is sad that the truck drivers may have to find other duties or companies to work for I would not wish that upon any family, but those are the times we live in.
Don't worry John, you won't have to pull the 60′ container…any sized container for that matter, when in a few years all the tractors are automated and self-driving.
With the 14 % increase in payload I'm sure the rates to haul these containers will also increase accordingly.
60 . They can't not even fully utilize a 53. Should be entertaining to see in action.
A large percentage of the truck drivers operating out the GTA are not qualified nor competent to operate large vehicles on our highways so I must urge the shippers to ask the carriers to prove the operators experience prior to having these vehicles on the road as the status quo.I deplore driving the 401 at night as its a dangerous place as the manners of these so called truckers are unacceptable.Good luck
I think this is something akin to Walmart's "Super-truck"–the cab-over with the 8ft cargo box on the truck chassis, and the trailer towed behind all that.
There is also the search for a way to move more cargo per truck–its the "ton-per-mile" factor (and, with carbon tax becoming a financial factor, the fuel savings and carbon reduction). The problem is, is that there is a point where there length of the trailer will become too much of a challenge to manoeuvre and safety will be compromised. I cannot imagine anything over 60ft being on our roads—given that much of our city infrastructure cannot properly accommodate 53″ trailers (or transit buses!).
While there are places where it can certainly be utilized, I would estimate that less than 35% of Canadian Tire stores can be easily accessed by trucks with longer trailers, based on their urban location. The real application would be in main warehouse to secondary ones (where everything is organized to go to specific stores), or up and down the 401.
And like Walmart's Supercab from 5 years ago, it may not become something that sees widespread use. (Manitoulin Trucking is the only company that I am aware of of successfully using a fleet of Supercabs, mainly in northern Ontario. See them often in my hometown of Timmins).
I drove a transport. But the road was too long.
Now I drive a transit bus, and the road is full of idiots.
Oh this ought to be good watching the new Canadians trying to safely pull a 60 ft. trailer. Most have trouble with just a dump truck. Way to go Ontario and Quebec on the Safety on our highways. What a bunch of crap!!!!

Can students transfer to a four-year college or university?
Students who earn the A.A.S. degree have the opportunity to transfer their coursework to a four-year institution. Students in specialized programs, or who earn an A.A.S. degree should discuss the transfer process with an advisor.
Why major in Media Arts & Design?
There is a growing need for web designers, graphic artists, advertising professionals, and photographers. Students who choose the A.A.S. degree in Media Arts and Design have the opportunity to explore a variety of directions as they gain skills. Students who select either Advertising/Graphic Design, Gaming and Animation or Professional Commercial Photography will focus more closely on one aspect of this growing field. In each case, students gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art equipment used by professional designers and photographers. Small class sizes allow students to work on individual as well as team projects, finding creative solutions to design problems, just as they would in the professional art and design fields. Students will develop their own e-portfolios of creative work which will assist them in securing employment, starting their own business, or continuing their education in the field.
Are there any requirements that must be satisfied before taking courses in the major?
Algebra I is a prerequisite for all majors. Algebra I competency may be verified with a passing score on the College's placement test or completion of the appropriate course.
How long will it take to complete this degree?
Once students complete developmental coursework (if needed), the degree can be completed in two years of full-time study. They can shorten the amount of time by taking courses in the summer and winter sessions.
Our students transfer to 4-year colleges and universities around the globe. We've had students transfer to every state, including Alaska and Hawaii.
The Statewide Transfer Agreement for New Jersey ensures that students who earn an A.A. or A.S. degree at a community college will have those credits fully transferable to a New Jersey public four-year institution, will have completed half of the credits required for a basic four-year degree and will have completed all lower division general education requirements. In addition, articulation agreements are being worked out with institutions granting baccalaureate degrees in Public Health to facilitate the transfer process. Students should discuss the transfer process with an advisor.
Are you interested in transferring to a school in New Jersey? You can use the tools at NJTransfer.org to see which of your MCC courses will transfer to a specific college.

Adrian Davis is a collaborative divorce attorney. Before you agree to use her services, make sure you have a signed statement of the agreed-upon work and that you are crystal clear on the nature of collaborative divorce and how much it hobbles your legal options. My spouse turned out to be uncooperative and collaboration was a total bust for us.
I was under the impression that if we could not reach an agreement, half the fee would be refunded, but I learned upon terminating Ms. Davis that she feels her total fee is justified after 90 days from being retained. So I'm $6000 in the hole and even further away from getting divorced than I was 14 months ago.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - July 15, 1983, New Braunfels, Texas * ie.:, .exay cr'j: CG' ^ch ao nt Ie . ;. do/ 45^3'-Jall.-s, IV/.. 75?^Reimer, county disagree over assistants'plan •y DYANNEFRY Staff writ ar County Attorney Bill Reimer doesn't much like the idea of trading one of his two assistants for some part-time help from the District Attorney's office. Comal County Commissioners broached the idea at a budget workshop Thursday afternoon. District Attorney Bill Schroeder has asked for a full-time assistant in 1914, and has suggested that this assistant could prosecute some county court cases, said County Judge Fred Clark. If commissioners were to finance this plan, could Reimer manage with just one assistant on a retainer fee? "That was not the proposition that was presented to me," said Reimer, who apparently has done some talking to Schroeder himself. Yes, they did discuss the possibility of an assistant district attorney helping out with county cases. But Reimer understood that he was supposed to reciprocate by prosecuting some felonies in district court. The arrangement would provide flexibility, but it really wouldn't save any time, he felt. Then Clark asked whether one full-time assistant county attorney might not do the work more efficiently than two part-time prosecutors? Reimer's assistants, Bruce Boyer and Irvin Boa met, both divide their time between county business and private practice. The county attorney's 1904 budget requests includes $20,740 in fees for them alone. Reliner disliked that idea for two reasons First, "I think you'd be losing more money than you'd be making for the county," he said. "For that salary, you're going to get somebody right out of law school with no trial experience, and he'll get eaten alive by some of the attorneys around here." In the second place, Reimer doesn't want to get nd of Boa met or Boyer And neither is willing to go full-time. "My policy is, if I've got somebody that's doing a good job, I'm going to remain loyal to that person," he said. Reinters total budget request comes to $93,519, just 12.7 percent over this year's That's not too extravagant, considering that County Auditor Bate Bond has predicted an 11.4 percent increase in revenues, even without raising the tax rate. Sheriff Walter Fellers and County Qerk Rosie Bosenbury also held audience with the court Thursday luke the county attorney, both want raises for their employees Fellers. in fact, is requesting four additional deputies and one more jailer Both Renner and Fellers feel that they themselves are underpaid, when you get right down to it But Renner said he'd prefer to see the hired employees get their raises And Fellers took a philosophical attitude "When you started this job 32 years ago. how much did you make then'*'' Clark asked him. "Three hundred and fifty a month," answered Fellers, without even stopping to think "And I saved more money then than I do now " LU.! New Braunfels Heir Braunfels, Texas Herald-Zeituno OO 1 yin no n____ or-_____ FRIDAY July 15,1983 25 cents Vol. 92 - No. 140 20 Pages — 2 Sections (LISPS 377SBO' Lawmakers mull future in wake of sex scandal WASHINGTON (AP) - Rep Gerry Studds, facing House reprimand for gay sex with a 17-year-old page, says he will stay in Congress, but Rep. Daniel B. Crane has left his plans unclear after admitting an affair with a female page. The two congressmen on Thursday admitted ethics committee charges they had sex with teen-age pages. Formal reprimand, the mildest discipline the full House can mete out, could take only a few minutes once scheduled, since neither is contesting the action "Of course," Studds, 46, a Massachusetts Democrat, told reporters when asked if he would serve out his term. He took the House floor, where he proclaimed his >*uw>miility serious error in judgment" in his relationship with the page IO years ago. Studds said, though, that his relationship did not involve improper conduct because it was voluntary and there was no preferential treatment or harrassment. Crane, 47, a Republican from a Bible Belt district in downstate Illinois, first sought advice from his brother, Rep. Philip M. Crane, R-Ill., the 1910 GOP White House hopeful. Than he flew home to explain his affair with a 17-year-old girl page to bis wife, Judy, and six children "I know nothing — I'm not talking," the conservative supporter of school prayer and strict morals said when asked about the liaison three years ago that began when the girl lost a six-pack of beer to him on a basketball bet and ended with repeated sessions in the bedroom of his Alexandria, Va , apartment. The talk among Illinois Republicans was that Crane might resign and that, if not, he would have a hard time getting re-elected after barely squeaking out a third term last fall "If Dan Crane came to me and asked me if he should resign," House GOP Leader Robert H. Michel of Illinois said m reply to a question, "Well, I'd like to be as much of a strength to him as possible I'd say the Good Lord sometimes moves in mysterious ways." House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill Jr., D-Mass, said the windup of the investigation by the ethics committee, formally the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, yielded findings that were "most disturbing '' The committee voted 11-1 to recommend to the full House the reprimand of the two lawmakers. Committee special counsel Joseph A. Califano Jr. also said the panel found that James C.

I have attached new files to the wiki page which show the frequency of each caller-callee pair. Seems like your assumption was correct, that most of the calls to setPosition() came from searching the B-tree. All of the calls to setPosition() came (indirectly) from BasePage.fetchFromSlot(). Of the 20.7 calls to fetchFromSlot(), 16 came from ControlRow.CompareIndexRowFromPageToKey 1.7 came from BranchControlRow.getChildPageAtSlot 1 came from B2IRowLocking3.lockRowOnPage 1 came from BTreeForwardScan.fetchRows 1 came from GenericConglomerateController.fetch All but the last method are B-tree related, right?
