Re: Music class for 4.5 year old (Nov 2004)
I would like to recommend Deborah Bonet's classes. She teaches at the Orinda Community Center, which is a little out of your way but also has a fantastic park. Her classes have a lot of movement and my daughter really enjoys them. Deborah has a website, musictrain.net. I can't say enough about how much my children love Deborah. She is very gentle and kind and a good musician. Joan

My son is 2 yrs 3 mths. old and started going to Kindermusic in January. We both like it very much. The teacher is great and I like their program. The program is structured which, at least for my son, is good and although he normally prefers free play he accepts the class without making problems. They start with little songs and beginner instruments like bells, xylophones, wood egg shakes, tambourine (not with violins, piano and the big instruments) . We dance a lot and they learn to differentiate between sounds, e.g. different animals, trains etc. They also have a program for 0-18 mths.
For those who are interested, their phone number is 1-800-615-5415. Our teacher's name is Kerry (spelling ?) and in Berkeley they are located on College Avenue, across the Julia Morgan Theatre (in the Presbyerian? church).

My daughter Heather has been involved in Kindermusic for about a year and loves it! And the exposure to music has made her much more aware of it than I ever was at her age. She is now, at age 7, learning to read music, play songs on a glockenspiel and is making up songs all the time. Her class, which includes about 8 kids, is on Saturday mornings at our church in Alameda. Her instructor, Teresa Gacad, (who teaches piano lessons as the rest of her career) is a very gentle, effective teacher who will begin teaching Heather piano this summer when she is too old for Kindermusic. All of this has made Heather very open and excited about playing the piano. Teresa says she always prefers to teach piano to students who have had Kindermusic because they are so much better acquainted with concepts in music.

When my daughter was about 15 mos I called Kindermusik for info. They sent me a list of classes, including some that were in my area (San leandro). However, when I went to sign up, I discovered that the San Leandro teacher wasn't giving classes anymore. I ended up at St. John's in Berkeley (the same place that the Music Together courses are offered!). I've had some trouble getting the classes I want since then, and so far there are no classes for my daughter's age group in San Leandro. They keep promising next semester.... On the plus side, though, the Kindermusik program is EXTENSIVE, and there are a LOT of classes to choose from, so if one turns out to be inconvenient, there's probably another one that will work for you. That's part of why I've stuck with it. And I have found a class that is relatively convenient for me, and has enough kids in it every week to make it work for Allegra. Also, they are very understanding about make-up classes, and will pro-rate your fees if you start late in the semester. PROGRAM: She loves it! We started her at just about 18 months, the youngest age for the Beginnings class. She's often unfocussed in class, but the teachers don't seem to mind, just saying that the kids will do whatever they need to do, and they still get stuff out of the class just by being there. I have found that having her in a class with more kids (5-7 rather than 2) works better, as the other kids help keep her on track. Also, for her, the classes at St. Johns are better than the ones in Alameda, because the room is very spare, with fewer distractions. But she really does love it, and she's started doing the rhythm and pitch matching excercises on her own. I have read somewhere that kids who are exposed to pitch matching and music-making (not just listening) are much more able to become competent at these things as adults. And if you miss the window (in EARLY childhood, like before age 6), there's much less ability to pick this up later. It's not impossible, but it's much harder, much in the way that it's harder to learn a foreign language the older you are. So anyhow, I'm a big fan of this approach to music (whether Kindermusik or MusicTogether--which I am told was started by former Kindermusik teachers), and my daughter (now 26 1/2 mos) really loves it. I hope you'll like as well, if you choose to try it.
[This is in response to a request for help with a music class for a bouncy guy i.e. active (normal) toddler] Do you still have the CD's/tapes from your previous class attempts? You can always institute a music time at home, listening to the CD's together and singing them with your child. The thing I like about the Kindermusik classes we attend is that most of the songs have motions or whole body activities to with them, which I find helps both my daughter and I remember the music. And of course, that's better for an active child, as well. Regarding asking questions and being disruptive in class: Did the teacher say that, or is that YOUR worry? I find my daughter to be very unfocused ;^) a lot of time in class, and I used to worry about her being disruptive. She does get up and run around the room, and not pay attention, and want to play the instruments and not share, etc. etc. But I also find it works OK if I just let her do what she wants to do (within reason), keep her from really bothering the other kids (enforcing sharing when appropriate, for instance), and occasionally do the excercise with her (so if the kids are supposed to be dancing to the music, I might pick her up and dance around the room with her in my arms, for instance). All the teachers I have had (4 different ones so far) have told me that this behavior is normal, and no one has ever given me any trouble about it. Within the same program, different teachers have different styles, so you might just try different teachers for a while till you find a better fit. (On the other hand, it has just occurred to me that by the time the kids are your son's age, the parents might not be in the room with them, in which case, you can't do any of this! It does work for us, but she's only 2.)

So far, so good, my 6-month-old enjoyed his first Kindermusik class, and we go to the next one tomorrow. We also visited a MusicTogether class this week (I first heard of it when it was advertised recently on this list), but we had already enrolled in Kindermusik. There is another 6-month-old in the KM class, and she seems to enjoy it also. There is a lot of play with movement, voices, high/low register, and textiles and rhythm instruments along with the music, so it seems to be a very engaging experience for them.
From: Randy (4/99)
Kindermusik is an excellent program for infants on up. I've been taking my 14 month old since he was 6 months and it has been a great experience for both of us. He is becoming a very musical child and it helps increase my repertoire of songs and activities.

Kindermusik can be reached at 1-800-628-5687. They will let you attend a class for free. I signed up for one in Berkeley next week, and am looking forward to checking it out based on the postive feedback I got from this mail list.
Yes, Kindermusik does offer some weekend classes. I don't know the schedule for the other age groups, but for the Growings class (18 mos to 3 years), I'm pretty sure there is a 9:30 ish (am) class on Saturday at the Albany site. And I know for sure there is a 12 noon class at the Alameda site, because we've been to it several times. I took the couple of minutes to look this up on the web. The contact info for Kindermusik is as follows: http://kindermusik.com/ (beware: the site was VERY SLOW when I tried to access it at 11:30 am today) 1-800-628-5687 -- Dawn (4/99)

Another night of heroics by Louis Crayton, alas, came on another night of disappointment Wednesday, as United held Honduran club Marathon at bay in a scoreless first half but succumbed twice thereafter to lose, 2-0, in San Pedro Sula and drop to the bottom of Concacaf Champions' League Group A at 0-2.
Former MLS target Milton Nunez and Erick Norales scored classy goals as Marathon outclassed their American opponents, who resisted desperately yet sorely lacked the guile of Jaime Moreno and Marcelo Gallardo, both injured, in the attacking third.
Thabisco Khumalo, Fred and Luciano Emilio moved the ball upfield effectively at times, only to lack nerve and polish with their decisive touches.
Marathon wasted a few of its chances, too, but created so many others Crayton had to bound and fly about his goalmouth alertly.
The propensity of a few Marathon players to flop at the slightest contact clearly frustrated United, as did the tricky Marvin Antonio Chavez. He worked the right side almost exclusively, carving up United's back line with his runs, dribbles, and through balls into the channels.
Crayton just got a glove to a redirected shot by former MLS player Saul Martinez and needed teammate Craig Thompson to bail him out when Martinez raced onto a Chavez pass, rounded the keeper, and shot low. While racing back toward his goal Thompson got a leg on the shot and deflected it onto the goalpost.
Also during a pell-mell first half Nunez beat the defense but blasted his shot over the crossbar, and Mario Rene Barrios fired a shot from a sharp angle that Crayton fisted to safety.
Khumalo did buzz up the right side early in the second half but after veering inside a defender he shot over the bar from the edge of the penalty area. Sustained possession produced several promising buildups, only for Marathon's speed and precision to exploit a counterattack out of the blue.
In the 67th minute, with United still clinging to hopes of a goalless point, Chavez dribbled the ball laterally along the penalty-area line and lost out to a Gonzalo Martinez tackle, but Nunez collected it, dodged around a lunging Marc Burch, and drilled a right-footed shot past Crayton inside the far post.
Deprived of his best attacking options, United coach Tom Soehn brought on Gonzalo Peralta, Ryan Cordeiro and Quavas Kirk as the minutes ticked by to little effect. Marathon notched its second six minutes from time when Norales got his head to a free kick and his looping header easily cleared Crayton before bouncing off the inside of the far post.
United's long march continues Sunday in Texas against FC Dallas, after which it returns to RFK Stadium for a pair of must-win games: Wednesday against Cruz Azul in the CCL, and Oct. 4 against Chivas USA.
It has a keeper for the future, but much else needs revaluating. Staying alive in both competitions for as along as possible will aid that process.
USL UNDEFEATED RUN. The Montreal Impact 0-0 tie with Mexico's Atlante extended USL teams' unbeaten streak in Concacaf Champions League to eight games, including preliminary round play. On Tuesday, the Puerto Rico Islanders beat Mexican champion Santos, 3-1.
Montreal outshot Atlante, 9-5, but failed to convert, leaving it tied with the Mexicans with four points atop Group C -- one point ahead of Honduras' Olimpia of Honduras, which won, 3-1, in Trinidad against Joe Public.
"Maybe we can bring soccer to Canada in February for the first time ever and play in the snow," said Montreal midfielder Sandro Grande.
The knockout stage kicks off in February with the quarterfinals. The final is in April.
Stefano Pesoli and Tony Donatelli came close to scoring for Montreal.
Montreal plays at Olimpia on Oct. 1 and Atlante hosts Joe Public in Cancun Oct. 2.

A 36-year-old man is dead after being hit by a freight train near Runnymede Road and Dundas Street West on Wednesday afternoon.
Toronto EMS spokesperson Kim McKinnon said paramedics were called just before 2 p.m. where they pronounced the man dead at the scene.
Police say alcohol was found nearby. Paramedics found the man on a Canadian Pacific Railway track, according to Ms. McKinnon.
A CP representative confirmed that the incident involved one of the company's trains and occurred around 1 p.m.
"The incident did not occur at the front of the train so the crew was not immediately aware that it had occurred," said spokesperson Andy Cummings.
"We are investigating the incident and the focus of our investigation at this time is on how this individual came to be on the tracks."
The three-car train was headed west. It was later taken to the nearby GO Transit station in Milton for investigation, according to police.
A coroner was on the way and police would likely conduct an investigation, said Ms. McKinnon.
Malon Edwards, a spokesperson for GO Transit, said the incident occurred on GO's Milton line, but none of its trains were on the track at the time. He said service on the Milton line didn't start until 4 p.m. on Wednesday and GO isn't expecting any delays.

visit your site all the time, great work, thnx . i 'm in seattle, watch all the games on mlb.com . 2 q's 1. mets outfield 2010 ….beltran, F-mart & ??? .i think they will add top tier player from outside organization. ( abreau ? he should have been a priority THIS year). I want one (both!) of the Uptons. 2. do you have the sny booth phone # to call during rain delays? i missed it when they flashed it on the screen today . one last thing -my dad ,a brklyn fan 1930- '58, mets since '62, thinks your site is cool,too.
Thanks for the comments and glad you enjoy the site. In terms of the outfield next year, right now it will probably be F-Mart, Beltran, Church but I think there is a possibility Church could be traded by the deadline this year. If that's the case, then I say Matt Holliday. Sorry I don't know the number to call the booth during rain delays but will pay attention next time to see if I can get it. Your dad must have some great stories to tell from that era. Tell him I said thanks for the compliments as well.
Pretty nice post. I just came by your site and wanted to say
that I've really liked reading your blog posts. Anyway
I'll be subscribing to your blog and I hope you post again soon!

Re: Mathematica skill level snippet(s)
In my experience the students will rise to the occasion and learn what
they need to know in order to get the project done; so, unless they are
complete beginners, I don't think you need to worry too much as long as
you are around to answer questions. If they are complete beginners, then
a couple of hours of lecture followed by hands-on assignments should get
them there in short order.

I have owned this antenna since 2010. I have used this product when my cable was down during a storm. A God sent, when my cable box malfunctioned and refused to reboot. The picture quality is exceptional and it picked up a lot of channels. Comes in handy when my DVR is busy recording and I cannot view live TV. Will definitely by this product again.

Once again back it's the incredible series that dares to go where only drunken bar bets have before. This time, Jason Toon and Matthew Norman focus on a question that barely effects us all: Who would win in a fight, a bobcat or a person?
My money's on the person by Jason Toon
Zoologists are divided on whether the bobcat is the smallest of the big cats, the biggest of the small cats, or the sole member of its own phylogeneric microclass, medium-sized cats. But one question about this tufty-faced feline has been definitively resolved through empirical observation: a dude could totally whoop up on a bobcat.
Whether through strangling, judicious use of a geologist's hammer, or strangling, alert humans have bested the bobcat time and again.
Some would say that the shock of encountering a threatening bobcat would overwhelm a typical person's faculties, reducing him or her to so much defenseless bobcat chow. But Homo sapiens didn't climb out of the muck by coming in second-best to what is essentially a steroidal family pet. When the veneer of civilization falls away, man's savage animal nature takes over. Cupcakes and Snuggies aside, it turns out we can be pretty bad-ass when the bobcat hits the fan.
"A 62-year-old Florida man depended on his instincts when a bobcat attacked him, and it paid off," says the Fox News account of a 62-year-old Floridian's bobcat triumph. Even taking into account that network's notorious bias in favor of foxes, those words should give pause to any bobcat who's considering having a go. "I started choking it when got a good hold," said Dale Rippy of Wesley Chapel, Florida. "I choked it 'til he died. I got scratched up pretty good." Does that sound like prey talking?
Bobcats are also known to be genetically susceptible to the "Hey, what's that? Look over there" routine, a vulnerability that evolution has eradicated from most terrestrial predators. Combined with the bobcat's lack of natural defenses against the two-fingered eye-gouge, we can conclude that any member of the Three Stooges would be well-equipped to survive a hostile bobcat encounter, with the possible exception of Curly Joe.
Don't get me wrong: bobcats are beautiful, enchanting creatures and an essential part of the North American ecosystem. But the second it gets any ideas beyond looking pretty and patrolling the food chain, us naked apes stand ready to deliver the smackdown.
Man is the scratching post that bleeds and screams, by Matthew Norman
Jason, you ignorant slut.
This is a perfect example of the kind of inflated self-regard one commonly finds among people who die on alpine hikes, on float trips, and a quarter-mile off the snowshoeing trail.
Yeah, lah dee dah, you unearthed a few stories about unarmed humans killing wild cats. Color me a deep shade of not particularly impressed. You know why you can find stories like these to cite? Because they're SENSATIONAL. It is NOT NORMAL. It's CRAZY those people killed bobcats bare-handed. They prove a person can strangle a bobcat the way an article from ESPN might prove "a person" can throw a no-hitter.
You notice there are very few articles about people stepping on cockroaches and killing them? What you've done here is read a series of man-bites-dog pieces and extrapolated a natural order of things in which people generally bite dogs.
Ask yourself why mankind, as a species, outperforms the bobcat. It's simple. It's the same reason we have dominion over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth: Because of our high-powered, outsized brain. That big gray glob is a tremendous advantage! And a necessary one. Without it, we're just slow-moving prey. With it, we've devised traps, concocted poisons, and built weapons. We've constructed cities where our otherwise essentially defenseless species can thrive without having to enter into direct personal competition with the other, stronger beasts.
You look at humankind, apparently prosperous and strong, but you fail to see the playpen of civilization that affords us the safety to have become so. You mistake us for being fit for wilderness survival. WTF, dude?
Though your limbs are weak, your lungs feeble, your teeth dull and your nails soft, you're convinced that, in a do-or-die situation, you could shrug off the trappings of civilization—your only edge in the struggle against nature—like a boxer doffing his robe before a prizefight, and best the bobcat in a bare-handed fight to the death. Actually, you know what we might more properly call such a competition? A test of bobcat skills. I imagine somewhere in the mountains of Colorado, the Jason Toon of bobcats is convinced he'd do pretty well pitted against a human on the SATs.
Do you know what most people actually do in do-or-die situations? They die.
Have you ever seen how badly messed-up a person can be by a comparatively puny house cat when it's ornery?
Remember that THIS AMERICAN LIFE episode about the woman who got fought to a standstill by a mere raccoon?
A bobcat, of course, can eat a raccoon for breakfast. That's not a figure of speech; it's literally true. A bobcat can take down a full-grown white-tailed deer. Your average present-day American can't take himself up three flights of stairs without stopping for a breather.
And where, I wonder, do you imagine this man-on-wildcat bout taking place? Because the bobcat has a huge home-court advantage. In true wilderness, far from hospitals and taxicabs and Neosporin, a cut that's merely "pretty bad" back home could be fatal. So could a twisted ankle, for that matter. Or damp clothes. This is how fragile you are. A person sits in the comfort of his TV room watching Bear Gryllis's fantasy hour, or drives out to peep at the Grand Canyon, and imagines he's prepared for nature's savagery. He is not. He's a domesticated marshmallow.
And this is the puny, ignorant, baselessly self-assured sack of soft meat you want to bet on? seriously? Twenty-first-century, first-world man? Against 30 pounds of feline ferocity that's been killing to eat for almost two million years? Nuh-uh. In an unarmed face-off, a bobcat will cut any man I know to ribbons. And "unarmed, face off" will be an apt description of the human loser afterward, too.
Of course, I hope a bobcat attack never happens to anyone I know. Likely it won't. It is, in fact, the extreme unlikelihood of bobcat wrasslin' that affords my friends like Jason the luxury of their delusions about how well they'd fare. But if, by some truly weird series of events, some human pal of mine ever faces down a feral bobcat, and he enters into this hypothetical interspecies grudge match with anything like the overconfidence on display above, here will be the limits of my compassion:
I will not say "I told him so" at the funeral, and will refrain from forwarding his Darwin Award nomination to any grieving relatives.

And although Mr M himself seemed unavailable, Michael Howard and his pinkish proboscis could swiftly be pictured on a handy sofa, leering hopefully at the winning one's Trevor Kavanagh. This was 'the only interview', it proclaimed on its front page. Howard: 'I want to give Sun readers a better life.'
He was, he told Kavanagh, going to 'do his damnedest' to make these 10 million humble souls, sitting 'in the pub with their pint', think that: '"You can say what you like about the Tories, but they are talking sense"... It is fantastically arrogant... for Labour to say people can't be trusted to make the right choices.'
Now to be honest there are times when the Sun's political editor might have been a bit less fawning himself. 'Howard offers choice for all except Tory members'... and so sardonically on. But nobody at News International seems quite sure what line to take yet.
Here is the man they call 'Mister Right'. He 'looks and talks like a leader'. He will take over a party 'on the verge of giving Labour a run for its money'. Blair and Brown 'should be worried - very worried'. Yet it's all foreplay and no orgasm as yet. The Sun may claim that it 'won it', but reality bites deeper.
Reality means hopping on bandwagons that are already rolling to victory. Reality means taking an 11-point Labour lead on Mori and stacking it against Anthony King's bleak conclusion for the Telegraph: 'As things now stand, [Tory] chances of winning the general election outright... approach what physicists call absolute zero'.
Is the Sun ready to give the Tories a leg-up? Probably. There's nothing more boring for sales than another foregone conclusion of an election. But abandoning Blair is far more serious business. The News of the World may think Howard 'a consummate veteran politician', but consummate veteran political commentators - such as Peter Riddell in The Times - are treading very gingerly.
Riddell declared himself 'rather sickened' by the speed and blitheness of the Tory shift: he remembered the 'false harmony' of Labour once it had elected John Smith.
You want instant euphoria? 'Only Michael Howard fits the bill', said the Telegraph. Here was a man 'with the brains and edginess to drag the Conservatives into the 21st century'.
And as for the Mail, well, something 'quite astonishing' had happened. An outbreak of 'common sense, unity, loyalty and discipline'. Celebrate the 'Coronation of King Howard'. Gloat, 24 hours later, as a 'rattled Tony Blair' called an emergency Cabinet meeting. Salute a 'mellowed' unifier. And never forget that 'the Mail was the first paper unequivocally to support Michael Howard'. A claim to cut out and keep.
'Dare to believe', prayed the Daily Dacre in tremulous editorials. Here is 'the proud son of immigrant parents' who sees Britain as 'a beacon in a dark and threatening world'.
Does anyone at Associated or Telegraph Towers remember Howard finishing sixth when Hague launched the last new dawn but one? More immediately, have our star-struck euphorics examined the entrails of the first post-IDS YouGov poll, coyly positioned on page two of yesterday's Telegraph. A Labour lead re-established and expanded - with more more swing voters 'less inclined' to vote Tory because of Howard. Does the great unifier win on 'honesty and likeability', or 'appeal to floating voters'? No, Blair has him there - as on the 'best PM' question.
So these are very early days on the Hallelujah! front. It will probably take a full year of progress, and steadily growing opinion poll leads, before Kavanagh calls Murdoch and talks allegiance switches. But meanwhile the rump of what we used to call the Tory press strains mightily to turn something of the night into something like a bright new day. Can the Mail build as well as destroy? Can words and pictures and sheer desperation force us to crown old King Michael? It isn't only Howard's reputation on the line, you see.

Yes, it's a baby horse—sleeping with a teddy bear. And it's real. But this isn't simply an attempt to rack up page views. This little foal comes with a story. And as expected, it's shamelessly adorable.
This one-week-old horse is an orphan, who was found severely dehydrated and in a state of shock, wandering through Devon County, England.
With his mother nowhere to be found, the Mare and Foal Sanctuary took him in and have been providing the foal—whose new name is Breeze—with around-the-clock care ever since.
Breeze is still obviously new to the world, and like other young creatures, he needs to be snuggled, especially at night. Without a mother to provide for him, Breeze's caretakers found him the favorite choice of human toddlers everywhere—the teddy bear.
Sanctuary staff solicited the public with requests for large stuffed animals to serve as cuddle replacements in order to comfort Breeze at night.
Breeze is also the proud owner of two stuffed dogs. (Photo: Foal and Mare Sanctuary)
It's a tactic the sanctuary has used in the past, but due to a recent influx of orphaned foals, the staff was freshly out of giant stuffed animals.
Fortunately for Breeze, a handful of Good Samaritans picked up the slack and now he's got some plush company to see him through those long and lonely nights.
Domestic animals like cats and dogs are most often thought of as the types to make use of stuffed animals as toys, but using them as sleeping companions for wild foals has proven to be successful, according to sanctuary staff.
Syra Bowden, the sanctuary's executive director, said in her public statement, "It's been wonderful to see Breeze interacting with his new teddies and cuddling up to them when he goes to sleep," she said. "They are great company for him and provide comfort during the brief periods when his carers are not present."
What do you think of Breeze and his buddy, Buttons? Let us know in the Comments.

Influence-peddling for personal gain is rife. The political and business worlds are murkily awash with advisers, consultants, professional lobbyists and "communications" companies, who provide access to those with power and influence for substantial fees. Does anyone think that Khosla Ventures have appointed Tony Blair as an adviser for any other reason than that they think he can use his personal connections to open some important doors for them (Blair lands job with Silicon Valley firm, 25 May)?
Fergie's unfortunate foray into free-lance communications (Duchess 'devastated' after she is recorded promising access to Andrew for £500,000, 24 May) is only an embarrassment to her because she was naive and inept, but that hardly comes as a surprise. I hope she hangs on to her entrapment fee of £40,000 and spends it on a few more nice designer frocks and a crate of vintage Cristal; she is a lot more innocent than most.

Legal Forum Symposium: Frontiers of Consumer Protection
This Friday, November 2nd, the University of Chicago Legal Forum will present its annual topical Symposium. This year, Symposium participants will chart the "Frontiers of Consumer Protection," discussing three unsettled areas of consumer law: consumer protection and privacy online, the "federalization" of consumer protection, and product recalls. In addition to commentary and insight on these topics, the Symposium offers to students an introduction to the process of legal scholarship and to the work of the Law School's student-edited journals. The question at the heart of this year's Symposium is: how can a consumer-focused tort law regime developed by state courts in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries adapt to a set of consumer risks that is increasingly federal, financial, online, and technologically complex and unpredictable?
The panels are as follows:
Consumer Protection and Privacy Online, 9AM-10:15AM in Room V
(moderated by Professor Randal Picker)
- Professor William McGeveran of the University of Minnesota Law School will address the problematic notion of "frictionless sharing"; may Amazon.com "share" your recent purchases with all of your Facebook or Twitter contacts without your affirmative consent?
- Professor Felix Wu of Cardozo School of Law will attempt to reconcile notions of internet privacy with First Amendment protection.
- Professor Katherine Strandburg of NYU School of Law will query whether "behavioral advertising" models like Google's (which targets advertising based on a user's search history) effectively satisfy consumer preferences.
- Professor Bruce Boyden of Marquette Law School will argue that legal regimes protecting consumer privacy online have to remain adaptable to shifting subjective conceptions of privacy.
Federalization of Consumer Protection, 10:30 AM-11:45 AM, Room V
(moderated by Professor Marshall Shapo of Northwestern Law)
- Professor Todd Henderson will survey the landscape of federal agencies and self-regulatory organizations whose purpose is to protect consumers of fincancial products to develop a working model for agency interaction that promotes consumer welfare.
- Professor Catherine Sharkey of NYU School of Law will also examine the interaction of multiple agencies in the consumer protection space, particularly how to allocate Chevron deference when two agencies conflict. She will then present two possible models for agency coordination.
- Professor Sarah Cole of Ohio State University Moritz College of Law will examine the consequences produced by an increasingly federal regime for arbitration of consumer claims and will advocate for reforms aimed at promoting transparency and due process.
- James Kole, former Chief of the Chicago Consumer Fraud Bureau of the Illinois Attorney General's Office, will reflect on his five-year term and argue that federal polices (such as promoting home-ownership) are sometimes at odds with state mandates to protect consumers.
Keynote: Richard Cordray, Director of the United States Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; 12:15PM, Room II
(lunch provided)
Director Cordray is an alumnus of the Law School who clerked for Judge Robert Bork, Justice Anthony Kennedy, and Justice Byron White. He served as Treasurer and Attorney General of Ohio before President Obama appointed him to be the first Director of the new CFPB.
Product Recalls, 1:45PM-3:00PM, Room V
(moderated by Adam Hoeflich of Bartlit Beck)
- Professor Anita Bernstein of Brooklyn Law School will argue that the current products liability regime renders the concept of the "voluntary product recall" a misnomer and will propose reforms to improve consumer and manufacturer choice.
- Professor Daniel Schwarcz of the University of Minnesota Law School will enumerate the lessons that the emerging federal consumer financial protection regime can learn from existing product recall and products liability law.
- Professor Katharine Van Tassel of the University of Akron School of Law will explore the dangers to consumer health presented by the emerging use of nanotechnology, and will argue that our lack of coherent scientific understanding precludes effective identification of dangers and the need for recalls.
Reception, 3-5PM, Green Lounge
All events are open to the public. For more information, please contact Phil Kappell at email@example.com. For special assistance, please contact Rebecca Klaff at (773) 834-4326.

Example. My husband has been working on a project for work. Very stressed out. And a thought popped into my head this weekend, 'I bet the project gets delayed'. I almost told my dh, but instead kept it to myself. Today, the project was to be implemented. I texted dh to ask how it went. He texted back you'll never believe this, but it got pushed back.
Stuff like that happens all the time. Imdont know if I'm just perceptive, or actually have some psychic ability. Anyone else here have the same thing, or can you yell me how I can grow this ability?
I was just thinking about this. I went to turn my cell phone off last night, like I always do, and I had this feeling that maybe I should keep it because a friend would be texting me for a favor. This friend is someone who has maybe texted me 3 times in the last year, so not often. But I thought it was a silly idea, not sure why I even though it, so I turned it off. And guess what, in the morning there was a text from her from the night before. I was in shock. But things do happen to me like this semi often. This sounds weird even saying it. I am NOT a person who believes in anything remotely "magical".
listen to that quiet voice when it tells you to do things.
i also think this is a stage thingy. you go thru this stage and you move up. little things like that would happen to me all the time.
i delved into this many years ago - and then lost interest. to me its no big deal. i feel everyone has this ability. they either ignore it or refuse to acknowledge it or...
i would say explore. see where it takes you. take up any opportunities that come your way. dont let happiness define why you took up that project. go for it even if it did not work out.
seriously just do it.
Yep. Quite a few people have this ability, actually.
How to grow it? Pay attention to it. You might even want to write your dreams down, because sometimes they tell you things, as well. In any case, paying attention to it is the best way to grow it.
If others are uncomfortable with it, don't mention it to them. It's none of their business, anyway (and if you get a warning to relay to them, tell them in a way they can understand, and leave it up to them to accept or reject the warning).

Yes to this! I have been intuitive/psychic/other name my whole life. You can totally tune in to you psychic abilities. I would also give alone time just to meditate/think/be every day. Just let your brain turn off and let the "other" come to the foreground.

Though sometimes the. voice is.not quiet it is.screaming!!! I liken it to the law of attraction. I believe things into happening, but I must be open to it, or it will not happen. I dated a guy right after my divorce, he had the name I was thinking of, wore the exact shirt i.thought of.on our first date, drove the car I was thinking of.buying. the list goes on but you get the picture. it is all attraction, think it, feel it, and it will happen.
The problem with the law of attraction, is what about bad things? Do you believe that children who are living in poverty or squalor ( not to mention other abuse, murder) are attracting it?
or is it just your intuitive self.
a look at what is coming up. is it creating the attraction or just a heads up 'hey this is what we have in store for you'.
with dreams - its a complicated subject. some of course are prophetic dreams. others are just emotional workings and has nothing to do with the subject matter. i have so killed my parents in my dreams and they have tried to kill me too. many times.
but here is a cool story that i heard first hand from a person who does not really dream much and is not into any of this kinda stuff.
he has a series of dreams about rescuing a women from a car wreck. in minute detail night after night he saw how to extract her from her car on this twisty windy mountain road. the day after the last episode of the dream, the whole thing happened to him and kinda freaked him out. the only way he was able to pull her out was by what he saw in his dream as her car had malfunctioned. she lived and 911 got there way after he had pulled her out and before the car finally went over the edge.
i know for a lot of people their own psychic ability is a curse and a burden to carry. it is something they dont want to have and something they dont talk about. one person i know can see disease and death in a person. she just sees it. its difficult for her to live with that.

I've had some neat experiences. I used to really try to work to enhance it and improve my "skills" but that was largely around 17-19 years old. It takes a lot of mental energy (to do so purposefully with specific intent) and with kids and all.. I don't have much leftover mental energy to spare! Although last week I had a dream that I caught a friend's baby after a super fast labor and she had the most beautiful little girl. I woke up wondering if maybe she was pregnant. I texted her, and she announced her pregnancy :) One thing I got pretty good at was telepathically communicating emotions. I used to make a game of it with a friend. We would do this online, so we didn't have any cues. We would focus on sending an emotion, feel it in ourselves, then throw it to eachother. Even better, it wasn't like I'd say "okay, I sent you one, did you get it?" we would just be holding a normal IM conversation, then at random times just send, with no warning. I remember closing my eyes and concentrating on a semi complex one (a mixture of sad/scared) and by the time I'd opened my eyes she'd typed it, exactly. And I would take a guess whenever I suddenly felt an emotion that wasn't "mine". It was really cool!

Looking Away From The Grid To Power Future Lighting Solutions [Future of Light]
Designers are recapturing and repurposing the energy resources at hand to make light accessible to everyone.
A drawback to traditional grid-based lighting is that it's expensive, requires extensive infrastructure, and is difficult to maintain over time. As we begin to take stock of the amount of energy we need to power communities across the globe, sustainable design solutions are being developed to circumvent the electricity grid entirely, bringing low-cost, long-lasting lighting to everyone.
In a trend we are calling Sustaining Light, PSFK Labs has identified innovative designs that are using alternative sources of energy to power sustainable, low-cost lighting solutions, creating new opportunities for people living with limited resources. By exploring new methods for capturing and repurposing the resources at hand and making light accessible to everyone, these products showcase the power light has to improve people's lives.
Urban Green Energy Inc. has installed 120 solar and wind-powered streetlights in Pingquan, north eastern China. Its first US installation took place in 2010 in San Francisco, with installations underway on four continents, including Asia, where the population and economic booms of the last twenty years have necessitated more energy use. China uses the highest volume of electricity after the United States and depends on coal for much of its energy, greatly increasing the need for alternatives. Instead of opting for costly traditional lights that would require burying wires in the ground and connecting to the grid, the city chose a more sustainable route. UGE's Sanya lights are equipped with a wind turbine and two 280 watt solar panels, allowing them to function completely independent of the grid energy system.
Outdoor lighting is a growing category in the sustainable energy industry. Mateo Chaskel, VP of operations at UGE, explains, "One of the key markets [of development] is outdoor lighting, where the costs of wiring the electrical grid to a remote location can be prohibitive, and installing off-grid lights can lead to economic prosperity in the area and significant savings over traditional options, all while being a sustainable zero-emission option."
Circumventing the traditional energy grid is the future of sustainable lighting, says Winka Dubbeldam, principal at Architectonics. "Whatever we can do to relieve the grid is incredibly important and it's not going to be one solution. It's not going to be only solar or only wind. I think at this point we just have to do all of it at the same time."
An unexpected combination of light and gravity is already being deployed to communities in Africa and southeast Asia. GravityLight is a lamp that is powered by adding weight to a mesh bag that hangs below the device. As gravity slowly causes the weight to descend, the lamps generates 30 minutes worth of light. The device is recharged by simply returning the weight to its original position, starting the process anew. The light can also be adapted to power other electronics such as radios and battery chargers. GravityLight itself has no batteries to run out, replace or dispose of, creating a completely clean and green alternative to lighting. Created by Martin Riddiford and Jim Reeves of London-based design group deciwatt.org, GravityLight is designed for use in the developing world as a safe and low-cost alternative to kerosene lamps, which emit harmful fumes when used indoors.
Urban Green Energy's street lights and GravityLight explore use of charging solutions that leverage alternative sources of energy to power sustainable lighting solutions. These examples also fall under a larger trend we are calling Light for Life, which explores the transformative power of light and its ability to positively impact the lives of individuals and communities by promoting well-being and creating more opportunities for economies and activities to take place at all hours of the day.
The Future of Light series explores light's potential to improve lives, build communities, and connect people in new and meaningful ways. Brought to you in partnership with Philips Lighting, a full report is available as an iOS and Android app or as a downloadable PDF.

AEV JK Tire Carrier Versatility
Did you know that the AEV JK Tire Carrier is compatible with the OE steel rear bumper found on a number of special edition Jeep Wrangler models such as the 75th Anniversary and Hard Rock Edition? The special edition models featuring the OE steel rear bumper include:
• 10th Anniversary Rubicon (2013)
• Rubicon X (2014)
• Hard Rock Edition (2015-2017)
• Red Rock Limited Edition (2016)
• 75th Anniversary Edition (2017)
Installing an AEV JK Tire Carrier is a very safe and cost effective way to add a larger full-size spare to your JK Wrangler without putting additional stress on your tailgate. Additionally, by installing AEV's JK Tire Carrier, you can then take full advantage of AEV's complete line of tire carrier accessories such as our 10 Gallon Fuel Caddy, CHMSL, Rear Vision System and Hi-Lift/Pull Pal Mount. Since AEV's Rear Bumper is sold separately, when you are ready to upgrade your rear bumper, the AEV JK Tire Carrier will easily transfer over to your new setup.
The installation of the AEV JK Tire Carrier is very simple and straightforward if you have one of the special edition Wrangler models listed above, since the OE rear bumper was designed to allow AEV's Tire Carrier to pass through the bumper and mount directly to the frame without any interference or compromising the Tire Carrier's functionality in any way.
However, it is worth noting that AEV's JK Tire Carrier is NOT compatible with the optional OE Tailgate Reinforcement Kit (2017 models only). If your Jeep is equipped with this factory installed option and you wish to upgrade to the AEV Tire Carrier, then the Tailgate Reinforcement Kit must first be removed and replaced with OE tailgate hinges.

About Bethany Beach
Looking for a peaceful beach vacation getaway? You've found the spot. Bethany Beach, Delaware, and the surrounding areas of South Bethany and Fenwick Island are part of a seven-mile stretch of quiet, serene beach bliss, located in the southeastern corner of Delaware. Be the first to watch the sunrise over the Atlantic with your morning coffee from your vacation rental's deck.
While you are here, choose from an array of water sport activities, including swimming, fishing, surfing, boogie boarding, sailing, windsurfing, and crabbing. Play a game of beach volleyball in your rental's backyard, or throw a family barbeque on the back deck. With a full kitchen and plenty of space to store the water skis and kayaks, there are always opportunities for beach and water fun. If you visit during the summer, celebrate the fourth with the locals at the annual Bethany Beach Fourth of July Parade. This hour-long celebration features clowns, floats, and a mass of beach chairs filled with anxious vacationers ready to see great fireworks on the beach.
Here are some additional suggestions as you plan your trip:
- Ride the ferry: Bethany Beach is home to the Cape May- Lewes Ferry, a cruise between New Jersey and Delaware, taking guests from Bethany Beach to Cape May and back. Along the way, you'll see lighthouses and beautiful Atlantic Ocean views.
- Explore the DiscoverSea Museum: Founded in 1995 with the intent to preserve Bethany Beach's maritime heritage, this museum is located on Fenwick Island, just six miles from Bethany Beach. The ever-evolving exhibits display recovered artifacts from shipwrecks worldwide.
- Take a guided shoreline tour by boat: Rent a canoe or kayak and let an experienced guide introduce you to the native plants and wildlife of the shoreline ecosystem.
- Hear some live music: The Boardwalk bandstand at the center of town is host to a regular concert series during the summer.
- Learn to surf: Bethany Beach is home to several excellent surfing schools. Let a knowledgeable instructor help you get on your board and hit the waves.
- Explore the Bear Trap Dunes: The Bear Trap Dunes are one of the most beautiful protected dune ecosystems in the state. Come to this part of the beach to see native shorebirds and explore the tide pools.
Experience the fun, natural beauty, and tranquil ocean breezes of Bethany Beach by finding a luxury summer rental within a few steps of the ocean. The right beach condo can be the perfect place to relax and host a barbeque for your family and friends after a long day in the sun. Even if you decide to come during the spring, fall or winter, vacation rental opportunities are plentiful here. While you're visiting Bethany Beach, consider exploring nearby Rehoboth Beach or Cape May.

thanks all for the info.
I can't find an alignment shop that will do exact specs for me, I just told them to use an 03' SVT (I have SVT suspension remember) for reference and my local shop does a good job.
Its really just a matter of using a metal cutting wheel on an angle grinder, cut all the stuck bolts out, replace with new parts, torque to spec. Not fun but it wasn't hard either if you are used to working on cars. If you do order lower rear control arms, Tousley Ford has great prices and service.
I would start with:
-New lower rear control arms, inside camber bolts and outside bolts
-inspect rear-front lower control arm bushings
-inspect upper rear control arm bushings
-inspect sway bar bushings
-inspect wheel bearings
-replace front and rear sway bar end links
-replace shocks, struts, and strut mounts

The SRF Foundation (formerly known as the Society for Education and Welfare Development) was set up as the corporate social responsibility (CSR) wing of SRF Limited, a leading multi-business entity engaged in textiles, chemicals, packaging films, and engineering plastics. The Foundation builds on the heritage of its founders, the late Sir Shri Ram and late Dr Bharat Ram, who both believed in contributing to society particularly through education. They were instrumental in the establishment of institutions, such as the Lady Shri Ram College, Shri Ram College of Commerce, the Shri Ram Research Institute, the Anglo Sanskrit School and many others.
In keeping with these traditions, the SRF Foundation set up the well known Shri Ram Schools in Gurgaon and New Delhi, as well as the SRF Vidyalaya in Chennai. In addition, the Foundation is intimately connected with the running of the well-known Lady Shri Ram College for Women. It currently runs various programs to improve the quality of education in India. For more information on these programs, visit Our Programs.
Achieving quality education and training that inspires children and youth from all sections of society to achieve individual aspirations and building a better society for tomorrow, through the knowledge, skills and values acquired.
Our foundation has set up the following goals for the near future:
Expand and enhance The Shri Ram School – In an ever changing landscape, not only do we want to expand our school to satisfy its demand, we also have to keep up by improving on the infrastructure as well as the soft assets of the school.
Reaching the unreached– We have two initiatives to achieve this goal. One is to implement the "Model School" program which provides support through the direct intervention in a cluster of schools. The second is to further expand our outreach program, Shri Sambandh Program, which indirectly provides support by partnering with other organisations across the country.
Strengthen Enhancing Early Education programme for teachers– After our pilot test run in 2007/08, our Foundation has decided to continually develop this training program so that we can impart pre-primary education teaching skills to even more trainees in the coming years.
Set up Vocational Skills Centres– By setting up these vocational skills centres, we hope to integrate unemployed youths between 18-25 years old into the workforce by equipping them with the appropriate skills. Our Foundation plans to open two vocational skills centres: one in Mewat, Haryana where our Model School program is, and another in Manali, Chennai where one of our business plants is located.
Carrying CSR Action of SRF Limited– SRF Limited has a firm belief that as a corporate citizen, it has a greater role to play in society's development, beyond mere profit generation. Thus the Foundation will also carry CSR mandate of SRF Limited to the SRF business units. For instance, with the help of the Foundation, SRF Limited is deeply involved in promoting school education, vocational skills, women empowerment, natural resource management and sports promotion in and around nine of SRF plant locations spreads across India.
/|\ top
Our foundation plans to achieve our goals and vision primarily by working on Public Private Participation Model by engaging with the various organisations and stakeholders:
Government– By partnering with the government, we can work hand in hand towards improving the situation. We can help one another to cover the scope and scale of things in relation to education.
Private Industry– Not only will partnering the private sector offer us access to better technological, process-oriented and financial support, we can also encourage the workforce to be more involved in our projects and increase overall awareness. We can offer wider reach in terms of visibility for the various organisations. Support can also be shared both ways in terms of research and resource sharing.
NGOs / Foundations– By working with other NGOs and foundations, we widen the network of everyone involved and could definitely make use of each other's expertise and resources to help one another towards their cause.
Academic Institutes– With the support from the brains of our society, we work closely with them to share our findings and experiences and exchange views and opinions. Academic institutions can share their research and most up to date teaching methods. In addition, volunteers from these institutions are warmly welcomed to help as well as gain experience and contribute by sharing their knowledge.
Local Community– The essence of our projects is based on the local community. On the ground, support is needed to help out with the actual carrying out of the work and support is also needed to ensure that ownership of the projects is gradually integrated into the community.
Furthermore, with a strong history with regards to The Shri Ram Schools in the region, SRF Foundation plans to leverage on the expertise and experience of the model/design and knowledge of The Shri Ram Schools in relation to the education field.

NTFS file system will not accept chmod commands. You will need to use the mask command when mounting the drive to achieve the same effect. For example I believe that the option o umask=0000 when mounting the drive will set the permissions for the whole drive to be read/write for all users, i.e. chmod 777.Do I need to adjust mount parameters? Any ideas?
I understand that this is not what you are trying to achieve, but hope I managed to nod you in the right direction.

lights dim then go back to normal
The lights in my bathroom and bedroom go dim then back to normal. its been going on now for three days. Its not happening in any other room of the house. What could be the problem?
Likely a loose wire connection somewhere in the circuit.
If you aren't comfortable with electricity I'd hire an electrician to check it out and repair.
To DIY, you'd have to check the wiring and connections from the breaker box to each fixture/outlet, switch, junction box(es) to find the loose/broken connection. Entering the breaker box is the most dangerous place to work.
What Bob said. But what kinds of lights are in the room? Is there a dimmer? Could be the switch or lights need replacing. Start with something simple, pull the bulbs and try them in another room/fixture. If new bulbs do the same thing then it's likely the switch or wiring.
could be a motor kicking on that wasn't running before as well. Maybe a new window ac installed? shouldn't be on a shared circuit with the bath but hey WAY stranger things have happened.
What these answers have in common is that the resistance in the line is too high for the load on it. Another possibility is that an appliance is failing and so drawing excessive current.
Between a good or bad appliance and good or bad connections there are three ways to cause your problem. Complicating this is that a bad wirenut may show 0.05 ohm but this much resistance is perfectly normal for 10' of Romex.
To weed out which of these three possibilities is causing your problem, we need to know how many feet of what gauge Romex made of copper or aluminum runs back to your panel.
Just in those two rooms? With the record heat we have in the midwest/Great Lakes region, the electric company can't keep up with demand. We have had a lot of dimming lights the last few days.

been following the dsc threads for the last couple months. did check for sensor voltages and resistances. finally gave up and took it to indy shop. about 600 for new abs module and 95 for coding the new unit. i know i can get the module new for cheaper but i figure indie needs to make some money too. after the install and reset, all lights gone.
if you are in so. cal, i highly recommend south bay independent in gardena, very knowledgeable. my symptoms were dsc light always on. brake, abs on when warm. check engine light p0500 code, which is speed sensor code. thank all (especially bluebee)for contributing on this thread. i did learn a lot.

But as anyone who has dealt with contractors knows, deadlines are rarely set in stone, let alone on a project with a budget of more than $300-million.
The new timetable, head coach Jeff Tedford said, would have Cal returning home next Thursday.
"We're hoping to be in there on the morning of the 16th for a practice, but that is a moving target," he said. "And that won't be permanently. They are still working on stuff down on the field."
Right now the field is game-ready between the 20-yard lines, but the end zones are not accessible. Even the north tunnel remains unpaved.
It won't be until August 24th that Cal can practice in its own stadium on a regular basis, Tedford projected.
"It's all the other things that go along with the stadium that people really don't realize, like there has to be a water system in there, all the walls have to be padded," he said.
The upgrades have been at the center of Tedford's vision for the program since he first arrived on campus, but he has yet to step on the field.
"I have no idea what it is like down there yet," he said. "Once they get it all ready, I'll go down and check it out."
Testing the Trenches
With the NCAA-mandated acclimatization period completed, Cal practiced in full pads for the first time Wednesday, giving coaches a chance to really challenge offensive and defensive linemen.
"We got a chance to bang a little bit," Tedford said. "We're able to go low more. When we just have shells on we're not able to block below the waist. A lot of the run game is predicated on reaching and getting people on the ground. It's kind of hard to do when everybody is trying to stay up, so it really allows us to work the legs."
Much of the focus will be on redshirt sophomore Geoffrey Gibson, who is working as the first-unit right guard with projected starter Dominic Galas (pectoral) sidelined. Early reviews are mixed.
"It's still early, but he has still got a long way to go," Tedford said. "He is trying hard. He needs to keep competing and learn how to finish plays."
Redshirt sophomore Chris Adcock is also in the mix, but Tedford said it will make several more days of evaluation before a change might happen.
Individual Attention
Tedford spent time after practice working on throwing mechanics with redshirt freshman quarterback Kyle Boehm, then met with freshman wide receiver Chris Harper after concluding his daily press availability.
Tedford said he relishes such one-on-one opportunities, "especially when you see something come together.
"You see he (Boehm) is having a problem, the ball was sailing on him, and there was a fundamental thing we could fix right there. It's nice when you can see immediate results, and now he has got something to work on with it."
Quick Hits
Redshirt junior defensive lineman Keni Kaufusi (knee) missed a third consecutive practice and is unlikely to return anytime soon, Tedford said. … Redshirt freshman defensive lineman Puka Lopa left practice early with severe cramps. … Coaches are pushing freshman wide receiver Darius Powe to lose eight to 10 pounds. Tedford said Powe, who currently weighs 217 pounds, is "moving fine, but he'll move even better if we can cut his weight a little bit."

Universal Hero (Ulaga Nayagan) Kamal Hassan's real name was Parthasarathy. This was revealed recently in a reality show hosted by Actor Surya. Kamal Hassan, the all time great versatile actors in Tamil Cinema in particular and Indian cinema in general, always do total justice to the characters he portrays.
Kamal Hassan's daughter Shruti Hassan was on the Tamil KBC, Neengalum Vellalam Oru Kodi (NVOK) as a celebrity guest. NVOK is anchored by the actor Surya.
When Shruti Hassan was asked for a temple related questions as part of the quiz, she opted for the lifeline and called her father Kamal Hassan. Kamal Hassan while answering her informed his real name is Parthasarathy and his mother calls him as Parthasarathy and not by his well established name.
No wonder that many of Kamal Hassan's fans across the globe still are not aware of his real name Parthasarathy.

Remembering Victor Chang
Dr Victor Chang was one of Australia's most gifted heart surgeons, a pioneer of modern heart transplant surgery and an inspiring humanitarian. His presence, compassionate nature and intelligence affected many people in his regrettably short life. Who knows how many more lives he could have saved if he was still with us today…
We invite you to share your personal memories of this brilliant surgeon.
Memories of Victor
"My Dad's saviour ! Thank you for giving him another 15 years Dr Chang. You were our (and his) Hero – and you still are. Never forgotten and always remembered. Donor For Life." – Anna, Sydney
"A humble, darling man and cardiac surgeon who saved my precious mother at a time in her life when she was bringing up 4 teenage daughters by performing open heart 5 bypass surgery successfully and I remember how extremely grateful we all felt. Heartbreaking the way in which his life so tragically ended, forever our hero. xx " – Trish, Wollongong
"Wonderful memories of working with Victor in theatre at St Vincent's & such a tragic day waiting for him to arrive… RIP." – Julie, Brisbane
"When John' heart started failing Dr Chang along with Sir Harry Windsor did his first open heart surgery, changing the aortic valve. After surgery he came and spoke to me and he reassured me that John's surgery was successful. We met him on many occasions and he always remembered our names, he was a brilliant doctor. His loss was devastating." – Olga, Sydney
"I will never forget him, he saved my mum with open heart surgery , which in those early days were super risky , still are , mum us still here at 88 years young .rip Dr Victor Chang." – Chris, Sydney

While he and Fiona Coote awaited a 2nd new heart, Chris lost his fight. Thankfully, Fiona got hers, and is still here today!!" – Gabrielle, Brisbane
"At Bamford Medical we have the pleasure of working with an amazing a wonderful doctor who worked alongside Dr Chang as an anaethetist in Sydney. Dr Paco Munoz always talks fondly and with the utmost respect of Dr Chang and tells how he encouraged him he continued his studies to become a GP. He talks of how each morning over a coffee Dr Chang would say "Paco, you must study hard and keep going so that you become a GP." – Bamford Medical, Townsville
"He saved my Dad with a triple bypass over 30 years ago. Hope the great Doctor is at peace." – Julie

Here is what I get.
In[3]:= r = Integrate[Cos[n*Pi*x]*Cos[m*Pi*x], {x, 0, 1}]
(m*Cos[n*Pi]*Sin[m*Pi] - n*Cos[m*Pi]*Sin[n*Pi])/(m^2*Pi - n^2*Pi)
I am hard pressed to imagine a better result from Integrate. A result
littered with Piecewise to handle a non-generic (indeed, discrete) set
of values would be a really bad idea. And one that would be quite hard
to make work in any general manner.
Also observe that the result is (also) nonzero for m = -n and integral.
One way to see this is to let m approach -n.
In[5]:= Limit[r, m->-n]
Out[5]//InputForm= (2 + Sin[2*n*Pi]/(n*Pi))/4
Regarding the result from Simplify, which is (in some sense) generically
correct, see:
