Union Cites 'Exodus' of Experienced City Teachers
The city's teachers union has released its own grim analysis of teacher attrition rates in New York City, possibly a move to position itself for contract negotiations with Mayor Bill de Blasio.
The United Federation of Teachers analyzed Department of Education resignation data to find that more and more mid-career teachers were leaving the New York City school system, not including retirees.
In 2008, 15 percent of teachers with 6 to 15 years of experience made up the number of teachers that freely resigned, according to the union. By 2013, that number of mid-career teachers leaving the school system jumped to 43 percent. The union said the school system lost a total of 32,000 mid-career teachers over an 11-year period.
Higher attrition rates are often associated with new teachers having less than five years of experience. Though, according to a report by the Independent Budget Office, new-teacher attrition rates are improving slightly.
Michael Mulgrew, president of the U.F.T. said the new trend of losing experienced teachers was troubling.
"And there's two main conditions that this is predicated upon: It's the working conditions and the wages," he said.
Mulgrew said teachers have increased paperwork burdens and less time for planning lessons along with lower wages, compared to many other suburban districts. He said that the union is seeking improved working conditions, pay raises and back pay in contract negotiations with the city. (A union caucus also released its own demands on Wednesday, including a call for changes to the teacher evaluation system.)
Mayor Bill de Blasio has acknowledged teacher retention as a problem, even calling teacher attrition rates "a crisis" in New York City.
Speaking at U.F.T. headquarters Wednesday, Mulgrew acknowledged that the teaching profession in general has changed over the last several years, such as principals taking on a greater role as instructional coaches and a shift to the Common Core learning standards. But he disputed that higher expectations in the profession would lead to experienced teachers leaving the city schools.
"Just because the profession is changing doesn't mean you should be losing this many teachers," he said.
Mulgrew pointed to teachers leaving the New York City schools for suburban districts with higher pay and smaller class sizes. Of the 32,000 teachers that left the city school system, the U.F.T. tracked 4,600 of them to suburban districts in New York State.

Two concepts—one of the coupled fixed point and the other of the generalized metric space—play a very active role in recent research on the fixed point theory. The definition of coupled fixed point was introduced by Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham (2006) while the generalized metric space was introduced by Mustafa and Sims (2006). In this work, we determine some coupled fixed point theorems for mixed monotone mapping satisfying nonlinear contraction in the framework of generalized metric space endowed with partial order. We also prove the uniqueness of the coupled fixed point for such mappings in this setup.

Can't get unit to turn on need electrical help please-wiring diagram included
1 Attachment(s)
Hello everyone,
I have recenlty purchased a brand new mini-split a/c, followed installation directions to a "T" but can't seem to get unit to turn on. I have included a picture to show the wiring diagram of the unit(s), all wires are in their correct location for I have checked them countless times now. I have just purchased a multi meter as well as a 400amp clamp style amp meter, both of which I have no experience in using. So hopefully someone can help me trouble shoot this process, in hopes that I dont have a faulty unit.
Some of what I know:
the wire coming from the fuse box is hooked to a double 20amp breaker.
No fuses on the units that I can find.
the previous compressor (outdoor unit) works and still works, so I don't think the problem lies from fuse box to outdoor unit.
all wires used are wires that came with unit (installation kit) 12gauge.
using amp meter with old outdoor unit I get a reading of 7, but nothing with new unit, because it's not turning on and pulling anything I guess.
May be unsafe and silly but I've tested each connection all the way from outdoor unit to indoor unit by shocking MYSELF, thats each single wire: red, black, white all had shocking power to my finger by using the grounding wire on each unit.
The remote is supposed to turn indoor unit on, which then turns outdoor compressor on, but with the remote by pressing power on, I get nothing. the remote lcd screen works so, I don't think its bad batteries, also there is a physical on off switch on the indoor unit, but it also does nothing when pressed.
So, with all that being said I guess my question is how do I use the meters I have to see if the unit(s) are faulty, or how do I get this thing to turn on?
house and unit are 110.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Is this a Fujitsu unit? If so they need 5 wires between.
I think you will need a bit more of information. You say the wires are correctly wired but do not say how they are wired. If you explain your exact wiring configuration (i.e. I connected the black coming from the breaker to the black on the outdoor unit) I am sure some of the guys in here will be able to help you out. You have some pretty smart guys in here.
Ooops, kind of late.
What exactly is a mini-split a/c?
An air conditioner of some kind?:huh:
The manufacturer and model of the unit might help.
Do you ave anything else like a wiring diagram from the manufacturer, or a picture of the actual connections.
Have you tried to call the manufacturer to ask them, maybe there is a known issue that they can help you with.
Also you bought a multimeter... WHY WOULD YOU SHOCK YOUR SELF TO TEST FOR VOLTAGE? If you spent money to buy the proper tools, use them, and learn how to use them properly.

Thanks for all the replies guys, I will try to answer all the best as possible, also I have some additional photos as well as links so hopefully we can figure this out.
untitled.bmp is an exact copy of the manual, I scanned the manual but the file was to big so I just drew it on paint.
And the following photos are just pictures to verify that the wires are placed where they should be, also in the manual there are wires numbered 2 and 3 but my unit does not have those two. I'm guessing that is for an alternate unit. But the unit(s) and the wires that came with it are marked on the wire and where each wire connects from unit to unit for dummy proof wiring (Oh how dumb I will feel If somehow it wired incorrectly).
ground symbol=green
Model number for the indoor unit is KF-35GW/GX1b After googling this I found an indepth breakdown of the unit which maybe helpful: page 18 and 19 on this pdf are wired exactly like mine http://www.ajmadison.com/ajmadison/i...lessManual.pdf
As for AND functions, I dont know, I read that whole page but wasn't following, although I have search the unit for fuses but cant find any that are exposed. If you look at the indoor picture behind the tiny wires to the right is a circuit board which may have fuses on it, but it seems I would have to dismantle the whole unit to access. Another thing to note that your comment reminded me of, in the manual about the remote it mentions that when each button on the remote is pressed with the remote pointing toward the unit, signal is sent when the signal is recieved a sound is emitted. I have tried this, but nothing happened.
I don't have a picture of the outdoor unit to power but I have double check it just to make sure, black to black, white to white, green to ground(exposed wire). The unit I'm replacing is old but still works, where I disconnect the old unit, the black,white,ground wire, I'm simply connecting the new unit (compressor) to black,white,ground wires and I get nothing. However I can reconnect old unit and it works.
I have contacted the manufacturer but they wernt to helpful, pretty much told me to contact an electrician. So here I'am :yes:.
As for shocking myself, I wanted to see if I was recieving power from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit. I was unable to figure out how to use the multi-meter, and without the unit actually being on I couldnt get a reading using the amp meter.
If additional information would be helpful let me know, I will do my best, I want to get this thing working, any troubleshooting instructions would be aswesome and I will report the results.
Thank once agian.
Just to be clear on the second picture, the diagram in the manual has the ground to the far right to where all the wires are put into, but on the compressor there isnt a slot for the ground wire there. If you look at the picture the gold screw to the bottom right of the wires is where the ground symbol was so thats where I put it. It seems liked common sense so I hope it is.
Your link has wiring diagrams. After finding the correct one you should carefully measure voltages at component terminals with respect to the neutral terminal and post the values. Start with the 6.3A fuse.
Why don't you have the reasonable fear of electricity that most people have?
on page 18 I see the 6.3A fuse.
From the third picture I uploaded it seems I can't access this without taking it completely apart, if you take a look at page 10 from the link, it appears that I need to disassemble down to #31-38.
Should I be doing this or is there something I'm missing?
It appears you are trying to run a 120VAC unit using 240V power. :eek: I agree that your unit appears to be a 120V unit, based on the drawings. Verify with the nameplate (post a clear picture of it!).
(A) If it is 120V unit, using your meter, set on AC volts, range at least 250V, verify voltage at your incoming power at the outdoor unit. You should have:
Black to white = 120V.
Black to ground = 120V.
White to ground = <1.0V.
(B) If your power is from a true double pole breaker, you will read:
Black to white = 240V.
Black to ground = 120V.
White to ground = 120V.
(C) If your power if from a tandem breaker (frequently mistaken for a double-pole), you will read:
Black to white = 0V.
Black to ground = 120V.
White to ground = 120V.
I think you have situation "B".
If so, you need to redo the breaker panel supply power to supply power from a single pole breaker (black wire), and hook the white wire to the neutral bus in your panel.
If you don't think you can do this safely - call an electrician!
...and your unit might also be damaged if you put 240V on it...is it a Soleus unit?...
I would agree with williswires on this.... you are trying to run a 120V unit at 240V. Hopefully you haven't damaged the electronics by doing this.
2 Attachment(s)
Your right about situation "B" I used my meter and those where the results I got.
So, I feel I can do the work myself without paying an electrician, I just need to be told what to do and understand some terminology.
You need to redo the breaker panel supply power to supply power from a single pole breaker (black wire), and hook the white wire to the neutral bus in your panel.
By doing this can I leave the black wire I'm already connecting to connected? And do I have to actually run the white wire all the way to the fuse box? Please elaborate on this step.
The outdoor unit(compressor is a Chigo while the indoor unit is a Toshiba.
Thank you so much for your clarity and help thus far, cross your fingers and hope with me that I didn't damage this unit...we will soon find out.
I did some research on fuse boxes and was able to find a single pole breaker. After connecting the outdoor unit to the single pole breaker, white to white, black to black, ground to ground. Turned breaker on. Used my meter and now my results are where they should be:
Black to white 120v
black to ground 120v
white to ground <1
Grabbed remote pressed power and nothing :(.
I think I may have damaged the unit, I also used the meter to test the wires at the indoor unit and I'm getting the same readings as above, so I'm pretty sure everything is connected properly from indoor to outdoor to power.
What can I do now?

The price of Liberty: Murdoch's constant vigilance
Page Tools
Irresistible object meets immovable force. John Malone and Rupert Murdoch square off against each other as News Corp shareholder ire rises about that poison pill. Mark Coultan reports from New York.
When the city of Vail, Colorado, wanted the local cable company to provide better programming without raising its prices, John Malone pulled the regular schedule of shows off air and replaced it with a screen that showed nothing but the mayor's and city manager's names and phone numbers.
Vail backed off, according to LJ Davis, author of The Billionaire Shell Game: How Cable Baron John Malone and Assorted Corporate Titans Invented a Future Nobody Wanted.
Malone rarely gives interviews, so you can't say who's in his sights these days, but it might be fair to say that he now has Rupert Murdoch's name on a screen. It takes a lot to frighten Murdoch, but his recent actions, if not his rhetoric, suggest he is worried about Malone.
After once welcoming Malone onto the share register of News Corporation, he's now worried enough to risk the fury of all his other shareholders, including the big institutional investors in the United States whom Murdoch wanted to attract with his move to America.
Murdoch's decision to arbitrarily extend a poison pill defence mechanism, breaking a promise - if not the letter of the law - to shareholders that they would get a chance to vote on it after 12 months, can be interpreted only one way.
That is, not only is he worried that Malone could move further onto the News share registry from his current 18 per cent voting stake, threatening or at least cramping Murdoch's control, (with his 29.5 per cent of the votes) but that he was worried that a poison pill shareholder vote would fail.
Malone and Murdoch have been doing a corporate tango for years. In 1999, Malone sold Murdoch his half of their joint Fox-Liberty Sports Network for $US1.425 billion worth of Murdoch's non-voting shares. Fox Sports has been a success story for Murdoch ever since.
Murdoch bought out Malone's stake in Gemstar-TV Guide, which controls the intellectual property for some of the functions in television set-top boxes, including electronic program guides.
As he has for much of his career, Malone convinced Murdoch that it would be a great idea to bundle up Gemstar with other technology assets and float it, using the company's stock to buy DirecTV, which Murdoch had wanted for years.
It might have been a great idea, but the timing was lousy. The tech wreck put an end to any idea of taking the company public and Murdoch ended up writing off $US6 billion. He eventually got DirecTV.
Malone's record suggests he is an expert at selling things to others for inflated prices. Murdoch has always paid top dollar if it fits his global expansion plans. The two seem a match made in heaven.
Although they are both ruthless and successful media moguls, they are very different men. And the pair insist they get on well together, and continue to talk regularly.
Failed German media mogul Leo Kirch once said Murdoch was a shark, always dangerous, always on the move. On the other hand, Malone, he said, was an alligator, floating in the swamp mud, waiting for his prey to come to him.
Al Gore once called Malone Darth Vader for his attempt to control cable, while Malone himself was once quoted as identifying with Orson Welles' Citizen Kane.
Malone, depending on who you believe, is either a financial and investment genius and a technological visionary, or a bully who hates government, doesn't pay taxes and whose salesman rhetoric doesn't live up to its promise.
In the 1990s, Malone was hailed as a visionary of media convergence. More than anyone else, he talked up "convergence" and "interactive television" and the "500 channel universe" well before it existed.
LJ Davis accuses Malone of hyping the future of cable in order to sell his debt-laden company TCI.
Malone got AT&T to buy it for $US48 billion. Like many of the deals done in the dotcom boom years, the price was staggering.
Malone sold, according to Davis, because a tax avoidance strategy had run its course. "There was a limit to how long Malone could play the game he'd chosen. To reap continued benefits from accelerated depreciation and interest payments, TCI had to buy more cable systems with yet more borrowed money, piling debt upon debt."
The tactic had come from the founder of TCI, and Malone's partner, Bob Magness, whose guiding business principle was that it was cheaper to pay interest than to pay taxes.
Malone seems to have adopted the strategy. Even Murdoch says that Malone hates to pay tax. That's one of the factors in the Malone-Murdoch equation. If a deal is to be done, it will probably involve Malone paying not much tax.
Malone made his fortune out of cable television. As the price of access to his cable, he insisted on getting shares in the channels producing content. In the early 1990s, Malone was outbid by Lifetime TV to buy the US Learning Channel. Malone then dropped the Learning Channel from his cable systems, causing Lifetime to withdraw its offer. Learning was eventually sold to the Discovery Channel - 49 per cent owned by Malone's company TCI.
Forbes magazine summed it up this way: "As Malone's clout grew, he used it to bludgeon foes."
In 1981, Malone went a little too far, trying to stop Jefferson City, Missouri, from ending a cable contract. His company's behaviour was described as "commercial blackmail" and it was ordered to pay multimillion-dollar damages.
Outside of business, Murdoch and Malone appear to have very different attitudes to life. Although they share a love of sailing, Malone does not appear to be the workaholic that Murdoch is, nor someone who will be carried out of his office in a box.
Ted Henderson, a media analyst with Stifel Nicolaus & Co in Malone's home town of Denver, says Malone is deeply respected there for being a family man. "He's been extraordinarily faithful and loyal to his wife for many, many years. They have raised good kids that didn't go into the business he is in, and so, there's that underpinning of respect for the type of community man he has been."
Murdoch is more world citizen than community man - a work-obsessed mogul who is still interested in the pagination numbers or the sales figures from all parts of his far-flung empire.
Although a family crisis, an unwelcome shareholder on the register and a flagging share price would be enough to distract almost anyone, Murdoch seems as focused as ever on business.
He has recently been snapping up internet companies, enthusiastically preaching the virtues of the internet, particularly his recent purchase of MySpace, a social-networking site used by 32 million mostly young people which is growing at an astonishing rate. But as ever with the net, the trick will be turning users into dollars.
Despite the talk about Malone being the predator in their relationship, Murdoch, if he holds his nerve, appears to have Malone in a corner. Malone is holding News Corp shares, which have gone backwards in price.
Worse, Murdoch has always paid derisory dividends, preferring to keep the cash for acquisitions and hoping the shareholders would be content with gains in the share price. Unfortunately, those gains haven't materialised lately.
And Liberty is considerably smaller than News Corp. Malone is also not in Murdoch's wealth league. Forbes magazine puts Murdoch as the 32nd richest American, with $US6.7 billion ($8.9 billion), while Malone is at 153rd, with $US1.9 billion.
If the poison pill survives shareholders' anger and a court challenge in News Corp's new home of Delaware, Malone appears to have little place to go. The share price of News Corp and another company Malone holds - IAC-InterActiveCorp - is acting as a drag on the Liberty Media share price.
Liberty's senior vice-president, Mark Carleton, recently remarked: "John [Malone] has said publicly he has an extreme amount of respect for News Corp and certainly Rupert and his team's operating ability. That said, we would sure like to see the stock price go up."
Analyst Ted Henderson sees the stand-off as irresistible object meets immovable force. "I would say this: you wouldn't want to sit across the table from either one of them at the negotiating table."
Although his best bet is that nothing much will happen in the immediate future, it wouldn't surprise him if the two men came to a deal.
The first possibility that has been widely canvassed is that Murdoch could sell assets to Malone in return for Malone's shares in News Corp. Murdoch certainly has plenty that Malone might be interested in. The most plausible scenario includes Murdoch's share of the National Geographic channel - plus cash. The problem seems to have been the price.
But such a deal would put the pressure on News Corp's "independent" directors - most of whom are very close to him - to make sure there was something in it for them, especially so given the bolshie mood of some shareholders.
Henderson has a far more radical scenario. "At the end of the day there's a rather elegant argument that News Corp and Liberty could merge assets - combine the companies," he says.
But who would run it? Henderson says Malone, who is already mentoring people at Liberty, might be willing to step back and let Murdoch run the combined entity. "Malone has always trusted Murdoch as a fiduciary of his investments. Malone clearly has respect for him and trusts him," Henderson says.
But the answer lies deeper than just a cold financial decision.
Henderson says Malone, despite his fearsome reputation, might be interested in something which mere mortals think about - the work-life balance. "The concept that anyone who is successful their entire life is defined by business is a flawed assumption. There are some people for whom it's become their whole life, and I don't think that's John Malone," he says.
But it probably is Murdoch. Unlike his rival, Malone's marriage has survived his business career, but only with concessions from Malone. He very rarely gives interviews, but years ago he talked to New Yorker media writer and author Ken Auletta in surprisingly frank terms about his own marriage.
As Malone recounted it, his wife Leslie laid out her terms in the early 1970s. "I thought I was marrying an engineer at Bell Labs. You were going to be home every night. We were going to have a normal middle-class life and raise the kids and take the two-week vacation and so on. And now you're off on this ego trip of building a career. You're off running companies, things that I never bought into. If that's something you gotta go do, so do it. But I'm not coming along. Goodbye, I'm leaving."
She didn't. And Malone is reported to drive home every day for lunch with his wife on their property just outside Denver.
Murdoch, by comparison, is on his third marriage. His oldest son recently walked out of the business, apparently unable to work with his father. Murdoch seems determined to continue working forever. He always seems annoyed with questions about succession, as if he intends to work until he's 100. Although at 74 his hearing is failing, he seems as fit as ever. He jogs, and last year did a seven-minute mile.
A combined Liberty-News Corp would be a media giant, adding Malone's lucrative cable channels and distribution networks in America, Europe and Japan to Murdoch's satellite, cable, free-to-air, movie, book and newspaper empire.
But such a union would represent a clash of cultures. Malone has been pursuing a strategy of spinning off companies. Murdoch prefers to consolidate his holdings. Malone is ruthlessly unsentimental when it comes to business. In the words of Mark Carleton, Malone "doesn't fall in love" with assets. "If they are cheap, we will buy, if they have more value in someone else's hands, we will sell."
Over the years, Murdoch has generally sold only reluctantly, and he's kept some things going - the New York Post and The Australian - when hard heads would have closed them.
Such a merger would also have to deal with the issue of succession. Malone has said he intends to put his fortune into a charitable foundation, while, despite the argument with his son Lachlan, Murdoch still appears intent on passing on the empire.
But Malone is 10 years younger than Murdoch, and while he might be happy with Rupert in charge, would he be so happy with sons Lachlan, James or the media mogul's deputy, Peter Chernin?

This study will follow such an understanding of americanization.
Principles of Americanism; essentials of americanization; technic of race-assimilation.
If American women were all like you, there would be no need of americanization.
It is this strong impulse that my americanization has made the driving power of my life.
"I can not exactly count you americanization," she said honestly.
americanization means to the Jew in most cases dejudaizing himself without becoming a Christian.
From all sides come fugitives with news of the americanization of the towns.
The immigrants themselves are too old for americanization, especially when they speak a non-English language.
1816, noun of state or action from Americanize.

tanx sin^2x capital sigma [0,2p]
That is neither an equation nor a question. What is capital sigma supposed to mean?
It usually means "sum of" in a mathematical series, but you have not written a series.
Is [0, 2p] supposed to be a domain [0, 2 pi] ?
Questions must be stated accurately to be understood.
the sigma was the E
and that questions that I posted is word by word what the question actually says which now makes me think there must be a typo

Depth of Field
One day last February, Trevor Snapp '02.5 boarded a bus in Cairo, headed west along a coast springing with the neon of beach resorts, and stopped before the Libyan border in the dry, scrubby town of Saloum. He had been in Morocco only a day to photograph protests there—the nation, he had guessed, would be the next swept up in the Arab Spring—when he heard that Libya's coastal checkpoint was abandoned. A journalist had passed easily into the country. "I woke up the next morning, thought, 'I better get to Libya,' took the next plane to Cairo, and went straight for the border," he said. From Saloum, he described it like this: "I crossed over. There was a dude with a gun. He said, 'get in the van.' Next thing I knew, I was in Benghazi, and there were guns everywhere, missiles going all day long. I took a picture; rebels shot in the air. They were playing to the camera."
The rebels, Trevor found, were scrappy but unpracticed. Their bombs were the sort fishermen tossed overboard in tomato cans to send fish, dead, to the surface. When an army loyal to the revolutionaries organized a front line, the rebels charged past it, shooting then retreating to the back. At first, they pushed Muammar Qaddafi's forces west toward Sirte, the dictator's birthplace. Then they began to lose. By the time Qaddafi was nearly to Benghazi and NATO dropped bombs in the rebels' defense, Trevor had left the country.
I met him eight months later, the day Qaddafi was killed, on Avenue Bourghiba in Tunisia's capitol, Tunis. Trevor wore a blue button-down shirt, loose jeans that tapered around his calves, ankle-high brown boots, and a soft leather camera bag slung over his left shoulder. He looked his age of 31, with a trimmed beard and wry smile. He spoke slowly and with an odd accent he calls "international English" which made his eloquence seem all the more surprising. We walked north toward the Libyan embassy, and paused at a sidewalk café for coffee. It came in tall, milky glasses and with a bowl of sugar cubes. "The bang-bang is only part of the story," said Trevor, when I asked why he left Libya. "The market wants their bang-bang shots, and there are plenty of photographers to supply them. The market doesn't care as much for civilian casualties or gangs that grow up in the ashes of the war. It's hard for photographers because we risk a lot to go to these places and we want to go back. We want to finish the story. But often we have to do it on our own dime." Though wasn't it the breaking news, I asked, that first drew him to Libya? "I'm not interested in conflict for conflict sake," he said. "I'm more interested in what happens next."
Two men took the table next to ours, and a waiter placed a hookah pipe between them. He lit and fanned the coal. The sun had set, and the street was dimly lit, streaked by the yellow lights of taxis. A car passed trailing a Libyan flag. "Let's go," said Trevor, sliding two dinars onto the table. We continued north until we came to the embassy, a tall, columned building hemmed with razor wire. A few dozen men had slipped past the coils and gathered on the steps. They were sweaty and ecstatic, and chanted in breathy syllables. Some held their arms in slings; one boy leaned on crutches. On the sidewalk, a crowd gathered around a white SUV, doors splayed, a stereo blaring hip-hop in Arabic. A pretty girl who wore a flag over her hair asked me to take her photograph. "I'm so happy," she said, and asked if I had seen the pictures of Qaddafi. I had: his face contorted, pressed against another man's knee, chest soaked in blood. "I'm so happy," she said again and ran into the crowd. A legless man wheeled onto the sidewalk. When Trevor kneeled to take his picture, the man didn't notice, but leaned forward in his chair and sobbed.
I found Trevor one afternoon at a café east of Tunis, where we were to meet our translator before driving south from the city. Ammar, 29, had just voted in Tunisia's first democratic election but would return soon to Dubai, where he worked for a marketing company. He was tall, impeccably groomed, and, having expected a more glamorous employer, confounded by Trevor's nonchalance. (One night, he asked about our plans for the next day. We don't have any, Trevor replied; we make them up as we go along. "You're kidding!" said Ammar. "You're an interesting man, Trevor! You really are!")
Ammar took the back seat of our rental car, lit a cigarette, and opened a newspaper. The Islamist party, which believes faith should be the foundation for Tunisia's new democracy, had won the most seats on the constitutional assembly. This was no surprise, since practicing Muslims were jailed and tortured by the last regime. Their devotion to Islam—and their political will—had strengthened through years of isolation. The winning party, despite its religious roots, promised to uphold women's rights, even those contrary to Sharia law. But Trevor suspected these progressive values were strongest in the urban north, and in the country's southern reaches, Tunisians sought a far more conservative state. So, he suggested we get out of the city.

"I love mixing time periods and styles so they work together," says Sheridan. The combination makes the vintage seem current and the contemporary pieces less stark. In her dining room, she's mixed mass-market bargains with a few design treasures. "Adding one element can change a whole look," she says.
A midcentury Saarinen table and chair combine with a new chair from West Elm (similar-style chair $99). Pillar candles from Pottery Barn fill the fireplace; the mantel is home to several balls of string, saved by Sheridan's grandmother, plus 19th-century candelabra. Hanging over it all is a vintage George Nelson saucer lamp (new ones from $300 at

Christine's CakesClinton, MI, USA
"Christine's did an amazing job with our cakes! We had small cakes for each table as a centerpiece and one larger cake in the shape of two stacked books. It looked amazing, and tasted even better! I highly recommend their lemon cake with raspberry filling... :)"
Memorable Moments Entertainment - DJ NatalieClinton, MI, USA
"DJ Natalie worked with us long distance (my husband & I married in LA & were having a reception in Clinton Twp), and was just fabulous! We couldn't meet in person, so she hopped on the line for a conference call, was very communicative via email, and just rocked the house on the day of our reception. I can't recommend her enough!!"
Mirage Banquet Hall16980 18 Mile Rd
Clinton, MI 48038
"I was pleased with Mirage for the most part--it was affordable, the location was good, the facility was swanky, the waitstaff was excellent, and the food was good! They also helped us do some specialty stuff, like have a screen & projector. The only challenge I ran into was that the hall came with a day-of event coordinator that we didn't know about beforehand. That may sound like a good thing, but had I known, I would've very much liked to meet with them BEFORE the event so we could've discussed the details of what would happen when. We went to great lengths to plan the day, only to have the coordinator insist that many things happen in a different order & it felt like we were thrown for a loop. These changes caused some chaos with the pre-party hor d'ouevres & the cake (ie. the Cocktail Hour hor d'ouevres were only out for 20 min, and the cake was cut waaaaay too early & there were major mixups about which flavors went to which tables). Other than the coordinator, the venue was great!"

Sticking to a vegan diet can sometimes mean missing out on traditional treats like a summer barbeque. Typical BBQ recipes feature meat as the main ingredient, but there are ways to make BBQ recipes vegan-friendly. Here, vegan chef Chef Attila Hildmann shares 4 recipes for the grill.

Coarsely chop squash with a knife and place in a bowl. Add lentils and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Use a sharp knife to cut the top off of each of the bell peppers, and then use a teaspoon to carefully remove seeds and membranes. Place the bell peppers upside down on the parchment paper so that any fluid can drain out. Then fill with the lentil squash mixture.6. For the Cashew Saffron Froth, purée 2/3 cup water, cashew butter, saffron, lemon peel, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil while stirring. Season with sea salt and then use an immersion blender to make the mixture frothy.
Prep Time: 45 minutes
Shish Kebabs:½ bell pepper½ zucchini¼ eggplant4 small mushrooms4 cherry tomatoes4 small red onions3.5 ounces smoked tofu3 tablespoons olive oil½ teaspoon sweet paprikaSea salt4 wooden skewersBasil Dip:1/3 cup blanched almonds1 bunch basil1 garlic clove6½ tablespoons olive oil½ teaspoon sea salt5 pitted black olives1 tablespoon freshly squeezedlemon juiceSalsa:2 red onions4 garlic cloves1 thumb-size piece of ginger½ red bell pepper2 tablespoons olive oil½ red chili pepper (a little under 1 inch)2 rounded teaspoons tomato paste1 tablespoon agave syrup2 vine-ripened tomato4 tablespoons soy sauce1 pinch cinnamonSea saltFreshly ground black pepperDirections
1. For the shish kebabs, wash and clean the vegetables, peel the onions, and remove the seeds from the bell pepper. Cut the vegetables and the smoked tofu into pieces that are about the same size so that all ingredients will cook evenly on the skewers.
2. Alternately thread the tofu and vegetables onto the skewers. Combine the olive oil with the paprika and a little sea salt. Coat the vegetables and tofu with this mixtureand cook on each side for about 8 minutes over medium heat on the grill or in a grill pan.

4. For the salsa, peel the onions, garlic, and ginger. Wash the bell pepper and chili pepper, and remove the seeds from both. Finely chop the onions, garlic, ginger, bell pepper, and chili pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet and sauté the onions, garlic, ginger, and bell pepper for 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and the agave syrup, stir, and allow to caramelize for 1 minute.
5. Wash and finely chop the vine-ripened tomatoes. Add the tomatoes, the remaining ingredients, and 2 tablespoons water to the skillet, cook for 2 minutes, and season with salt and pepper. Serve the shish kebabs with salsa and dip.

Far East Movement
Far East Movement made their recording debut with the Audio-Bio mixtape in 2005, followed by a full-length album, Folk Music, in 2006. The band's big break arrived that same year, when the Folk Music track "Round Round" was featured on the soundtrack to the blockbuster film The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Two years later, Far East Movement released their second indie album, Animal, and began earning more buzz for singles like "You've Got a Friend," "Lowridin," and "Girls on the Dancefloor," the last of which reached the Billboard charts. As a result, Far East Movement were offered a major-label recording contract with the Interscope Records subsidiary Cherrytree Records.
After touring overseas as the opening act of Lady Gaga's Monster Ball Tour and hitting the studio with the Stereotypes (the producers credited with "Girls on the Dancefloor"), Far East Movement made their major-label debut with "Like a G6," which topped the U.S. singles charts during the summer of 2010 and went either gold or platinum in four countries. They became the first Asian-American group to top the Billboard Hot 100. The song, along with the Top Ten follow-up "Rocketeer" (featuring Ryan Tedder), appeared on Free Wired, the band's full-length major-label debut, which was released later in the year. Dirty Bass followed in 2012, with the Justin Bieber collaboration "Live My Life" issued as the lead single.
Far East Movement spent the following years working on their fifth album, traveling between Asia and the United States and producing tracks with Asian artists. In 2016, the group -- now a trio without J-Splif -- returned with Identity. The internationally inspired album included appearances by K-pop stars like Chanyeol (EXO), Jay Park, and Tiffany from Girls' Generation, as well as R&B artists like Tinashe, MNEK, and Macy Gray, and rappers like Soulja Boy and Big K.R.I.T. ~ Jason Birchmeier

Ahead of the recently confirmed spring 2013 GTA V release date, publisher Rockstar has revealed that GTA V PC and GTA V Wii U games are still "up for consideration."
Having revealed that the eagerly awaited addition to the iconic Grand Theft Auto gaming franchise would launch for PS3 and Xbox 360 early next year, Rockstar Vice President Dan Houser has suggested that PC and Nintendo Wii U bound iterations of the game have not been ruled out and that "everything else is up for consideration."
Speaking with gaming blog IGN, Houser said: "We are a third-party publisher. We're not Nintendo, we're not Sony, we're not Microsoft. We love all of them in different ways. But we can do what we want wherever there's the appropriate business opportunity and chance to find a market."
Hinting that the next GTA offering could be iPhone and iPad bound in some form in the near future, Houser added: "If that's on Apple we put something on Apple. Wherever it might be. I think that's the fun in what we do. We see ourselves as a content company that uses technology. We don't make it; we use it to make the most fun stuff."
Although Rockstar has not ruled out the possibility of the upcoming GTA V title appearing on next-generation consoles such as the heavily rumours Sony PS4 and Xbox 720, Houser has suggested the publisher did not hold off the Grand Theft Auto V release date until the next-gen devices are here as he doesn't believe the current devices are limiting.
"Some other people talk about the limitations of the [current] hardware. We don't feel there are that many limitations," Rockstar's VP said. "We feel we can do some very impressive stuff and do it for a large audience. This felt like the way.
"There'll be a much larger audience on PS3 than there will be on PS4. At a creative level, which is the most important for us, we could say everything we wanted to say and do everything we wanted to do on these machines. We didn't sit there saying, "We'd like to do this in the game, but we can't." There's plenty of power in these machines."
Are you excited by the upcoming GTA V UK release date, would you like to see the title touch down for PC and Wii U? Let us know via the Trusted Reviews Twitter and Facebook feeds or through the comments boxes below.

Biopsychology is a branch of psychology that analyzes how the brain and neurotransmitters influence our behaviors, thoughts and feelings. This field can be thought of as a combination of basic psychology and neuroscience.

Many psychology programs use alternate names for this field, including biopsychology, physiological psychology, behavioral neuroscience and psychobiology. Biopsychologists often look at how biological processes interact with emotions, cognitions and other mental processes. The field of biopsychology is related to several other areas including comparative psychology and evolutionary psychology.

If you are interested in the field of biopsychology, then it is important to have an understanding of biological processes, anatomy and physiology. Three of the most important components to understand are the brain, neurotransmitters and the nervous system.

The Brain and Nervous Systems

The Central Nervous System is composed of the brain and spinal cord. The outermost part of the brain is known as the  cerebral cortex . This portion of the brain is responsible for functioning in cognition, sensation, motor skills, and emotions.

The brain is comprised of four lobes:

Frontal Lobe: Also known as the motor cortex, this portion of the brain is involved in motor skills, higher lever cognition and expressive language.

Occipital Lobe: Also known as the visual cortex, this portion of the brain is involved in interpreting visual stimuli and information.

Parietal Lobe: Also known as the  somatosensory cortex, this portion of the brain is involved in the processing of other tactile sensory information such as pressure, touch and pain.

Temporal Lobe: Also known as the auditory cortex, this portion of the brain is involved in the interpretation of the sounds and language we hear.

Another important part of the nervous system is the Peripheral Nervous System, which is divided into two parts:

1. The Somatic Nervous System: Controls the actions of skeletal muscles.

2. The Autonomic Nervous System: Regulates automatic processes such as heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure. There are two parts of the autonomic nervous system:

The Sympathetic Nervous System: Controls the "fight or flight" response. This reflex prepares the body to respond to danger in the environment.

The Parasympathetic Nervous System: This system works to bring your body back to its normal state after a fight or flight reflex.

Neurotransmitters

Also important in the field of biopsychology are the actions of neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters carry information between neurons and enable chemical messages to be sent from one part of the body to the brain, and vice versa.

There are a variety of neurotransmitters that affect the body in different ways. For example, the neurotransmitter dopamine is involved in movement and learning. Excessive amounts of dopamine have been associated with psychological disorders such as schizophrenia, while too little dopamine is associated with Parkinson's disease. A biopsychologist might study the various transmitters to determine their effects on human behavior.

Learning Scope #328
1 contact hour
Expires March 15, 2012
The goal of this CE offering is to provide nurses with current information on transfusion reactions. After reading this article, you will be able to:
1. Identify the different types of transfusion reactions and associated signs and symptoms.
2. Discuss the range of nursing interventions for the different types of transfusion reactions.
3. Discuss the nurse's role in promoting the safe administration of blood products.
You can earn 1 contact hour of continuing education credit in three ways: 1) For immediate results and certificate; take the test online; grade and certificate are available immediately after taking the test. 2) Mail your completed exam (or a photocopy) along with the $8 fee (check or credit card) to ADVANCE for Nurses, Learning Scope, 2900 Horizon Dr., King of Prussia, PA 19406. 3) Fax the completed exam to 610-278-1426. If faxing or mailing, allow 30 days to receive certificate or notice of failure. A certificate of credit will be awarded to participants who achieve a passing grade of 70 percent or better.
Merion Publications Inc. is an approved provider of continuing nursing education by the Pennsylvania State Nurses Association (No. 008-0-07), an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation. Merion Publications Inc. is also approved as a provider by the California Board of Registered Nursing (No. 13230) and by the Florida Board of Nursing (No. 3298).
Each year, approximately 14 million blood transfusions are administered in the U.S.1 Most transfusions are given by nurses in inpatient and outpatient clinical settings. Advanced technology in screening donors and processing blood products has led to safer administration of all blood components, including whole blood, packed red cells, platelets, plasma, marrow and peripheral blood stem cells.
Despite these advances, however, a transfusion of any blood product can cause a patient to experience a transfusion reaction. A transfusion reaction is any adverse event that can be attributed to the transfusion of a blood component.2 These reactions can range from mild and self-limiting to severe and life-threatening. Whether a nurse provides one transfusion a year or several every day, recognizing and treating transfusion reactions is an essential nursing skill.
This article will review the types of transfusion reactions a nurse may encounter while caring for the patient receiving a blood transfusion and provide information on the underlying mechanisms of specific transfusion reactions. It also will discuss nursing responsibility in providing safe care to the transfused patient and managing the more common reactions.
Causes & Clinical Consequences
Transfusion reactions can be categorized as hemolytic or non-hemolytic, immune-mediated or non-immune-mediated, and acute or delayed (see Table 1). The American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) has a standardized classification system for transfusion reactions. The organization recently modified its classification of adverse events/reactions utilizing a grading scale of 1 (mild) to 5 (fatal).3
Immune-Mediated Reactions
The most serious transfusion reaction is the immune-mediated hemolytic transfusion reaction, which results from transfusing a patient with ABO incompatible blood. Transfusion of an incompatible type of RBC can be a life-threatening emergency. The transfused patient's immune system recognizes the transfused red cell antigens as foreign. This triggers an antibody response, which activates complement and results in rapid intravascular red cell hemolysis. If not recognized and emergently managed, this can lead to DIC, renal failure, circulatory collapse and death.3
Hemolytic reactions are graded from 1(mild) to 5 (fatal), depending on how much blood was transfused and how well the reaction was managed.3 Signs and symptoms may include flank pain, hypotension, fever, patients verbalizing that "something is wrong" (feeling of impending doom), hemoglobinemia, hemoglobinuria, evidence of circulatory collapse, bronchospasm and evidence of renal failure.3 Management, after stopping the transfusion, is supportive of all organ systems affected (renal, cardiovascular, respiratory). If recognized and treated quickly, patients can recover from the insult.
The cause of ABO incompatible transfusions is related to human error in the majority of reported cases. Factors, which alone or in combination may account for this potentially fatal mistake, include misidentification of patients or their blood specimen at the time of type and cross sampling; physician, nurse or laboratory staff transcription errors; or misidentification of the blood product itself and/or its intended recipient.4
The Joint Commission and the American Association of Blood Banking Standards for Blood Banks and Transfusion Services require that specimens be labeled with two unique patient identifiers, such as patient name and medical record number, and the date the specimen was obtained.5 Most institutions' policies require two medical personnel to verify at the bedside the correct patient is receiving the correct blood product, using two patient identifiers.
A less serious reaction may occur if the recipient recognizes Rh antigens as foreign. Although this reaction is immune-mediated, it does not activate complement and results in extravascular hemolysis, with destroyed RBCs eventually being removed by the spleen. The reaction is usually a delayed hemolytic reaction manifested by hemoglobinuria, anemia and possibly jaundice.6
Non-Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Reactions
Non-immune mediated hemolytic transfusion reactions are caused by the physical or chemical destruction of transfused RBCs. The destruction can be temperature-related such as too cold during blood storage or too hot during transfusion from improper use of blood warmers. Lysis can also occur from the concomitant infusion of drugs or intravenous solutions with PRBCs.
Choosing too small an intravenous catheter or using an infusion pump with high pressure also can damage the blood cells.7 The signs and symptoms vary depending on the degree of lysis occurring. Hemoglobinuria and an inadequate increase in hemoglobin after transfusion, elevated AST, LDH and indirect hyperbilirubinemia may be seen with a mild or moderate reaction. Hypotension, bronchospasm and renal failure may result in a grade 4 reaction.3
Prevention is key in avoiding this type of transfusion reaction. Always use the largest IV catheter gauge appropriate for your patient. Blood warmers should be used appropriately and per institution policy. Blood administration tubing should not come in contact with other heat sources, such as hot packs or patient warming units. Normal saline is the only solution that should be used to flush IVs or blood products. Never administer medications in the same IV line during a transfusion or mixed in with blood products.7

Lil' Kim spent this past weekend helping the gay community celebrate its annual pride celebration in her hometown of New York. Kim was reportedly spotted dancing atop an Asian-themed float while titles from her extensive catalog blared throughout the streets of Manhattan. Kim's gay pride participation went into the night as she performed at the Latin Quarters nightclub later that day.
This year's festivities were especially special given the passage of historic legislation legalizing same sex marriage in the state of New York last Friday. The Queen Bee has long been a vocal supporter of her gay fans throughout her rap career. On Twitter, Kim wrote to her fans, "Thank you Pride nyc!!! My G bf's & gf's are the best."

Students OK after car hits bus

I was on this bus last night. This served as a great warning to all of us involved about the dangers of drinking and driving. Luckily, the warning came through with no one getting hurt.
Ironically, the bar the driver came from was right across the street from teh accident and is where we ended up going to the bathroom while we waited for another bus to come get us.
Please don't drive drunk! A whole lot of people, over 30 young students at that, could have been seriously injured because of one person's bad mistake. Well, also the mistakes of the people who were at the bar and knew she was drunk but let her leave!
Since: Sep 08
#2 Sep 21, 2008
What is the name of the driver? Anyone know. I'm from Middleville and I would be curious to know1

Glad to hear everyone was okay, must have been really scary.
#11 Sep 21, 2008
she was "treated and released"? hopefully into police custody.
#12 Sep 21, 2008
It really had to be the scariest thing that has ever happened to me. We were just on our way and then all of a sudden, WHAM! no one knew exactly what was going on until our band director got us all under control.
And get this-there's a new law (that we did ahere to) that all objects on a bus need to be kept on your lap or put in a big canvas bag in case of an accident.
Of course, we were all kind of annoyed about having to follow it, seriously, a bus accident? come on...
but thanks to that law, hangers from our uniforms didn't become projectiles, didn't injure anyone.
Things that people did lose grip of could be found 2 or 3 seats ahead of them, and a binder that was under a seat hit someone in front of that seat.
A lot of people started freaking out after about 45 minutes though, just because other people were, but yeah, it is a very good thing nothing serious happend to the students.
And thank you for caring about people on the bus!
#13 Sep 21, 2008
I tell you what I know this girl, and it really doesn't suprise me.. Although she would have been going South on M-37 if it happened by Adams Rd. It really doesn't suprice me at all!!
#14 Sep 21, 2008
From what people were saying, she was with a friend doing kareoke who gave her keys and she drove off.
United States
#15 Sep 21, 2008
You kids are awesome and I am so glad you are safe! What a story you will have to tell at school on Monday huh?
#16 Sep 21, 2008
How many dead kids will it take before the courts crack down on drunk drivers?
#17 Sep 21, 2008
Schut??? Isn't that the same name that was involved in the snowmobile accident killing a 17 year old? Wonder if there is any realtion of the two?
#18 Sep 21, 2008
i was on the second bus and i was really shooken up after the accident. thank God everyone was okay but im sure im not the only one who will never get on a bus the same way again.
Since: Jul 07
#19 Sep 21, 2008
I agree they need to throw more in jail for a longer period of time. I know someone that got his 5th drunk driving this weekend YES 5TH! guess how much time he spent in jail for his fourth? 30 of 90 days he was suppose to spend. What a crock. It's also doesn't matter if they take their licenses away they drive anyways. Judges need to start becoming hard asses on these idiots.
#20 Sep 21, 2008
I was in the back of the bus when the car hit. i went to the er and they said that im on the border line of a concussion. and a few other students got hurt to but nothing really bad. im just happy that me and all my friends are ok

Have not heard of them before, what state are out of?
I ordered 200 rounds of .40 and 150 rounds of. 44 mag both in fmj.
Very next day I received a tracking number and they showed up today. Wa. s happily to see a few bonuses in the box. One hat and some kind of rag with the logo.
They did make a mistake on my order. I received 3 boxes of fmj in nickel plated brass and 1 box of jhp Olin regular brass that was marked nickel on it. However I didn't mind the Mix up so no complaints there
Shooting. 40
Fed and fired great. Every primer went off and accuracy was just as good as anything else. Clean burning
The hollow points had a little more punch to them and also fed and fired %100
.44 mag
Consistent length. Every round went boom and shot poa=poi.
Rounds were loaded light. Not much kick at all but burned clean and shot well
Have not heard of them before, what state are out of?
Believe it was Oregon. Ex employees of USA ammo
Thanks for the info. I will check them out. The freebies are always welcome.
Rubber band guns
Pea shooter
Spitball straw
Owner and Operator of:
Magnum Force Arms
From your report they must have been the "good" employees.
I say that because in the past my experience with USA ammo was all bad...
I shot 75 of the fmj 25 hollow points and 18 .44 mag. All with exceptional performance.
.40 was 10.95 a box of 50
.44 mag was 21.95 for 50
Moondawg you are correct and we at Freedom Munitions are here make sure each and every customer is a Happy Customer

I shot 100 rounds of Freedom Munitions ammo today...50 each of 9mm 115gr FMJ and JHP. They were clean and hit where I was aiming. Nothing to complain about and the price is right...I'll be ordering more when my current stock starts to run low.
well the .44 mag continues to be great, however these 2 boxes of .40 i shot today had constant failures to feed. I think they were a little longer than spec. I will continue buying the .44 but I will not buy any more .40 S&W
That's too bad. I wonder what the difference was between your first outing and today was? I think I'd contact them and take them up on their "100% Satisfaction Guarantee"
