APRIL 16, 2012 - Super Hexagon is a game that almost makes you forget that you're holding a $250-$500 piece of equipment by filling you with such rage that you want to be the Bane to its Batman and leave it a broken mess on the floor. It's not easy, but it is thoroughly rewarding. It's exactly the kind of game that's perfectly suited for the mobile platform. It's snappy, it's simplistic, it's easy to share, and you'll keep coming back to try and beat your old score.
Indie heartthrob Terry Cavanagh (VVVVVV, Don't Look Back) has devised another game to test our patience while dragging us through time, back to the days of the Apple IIE and the Commodore 64. In Super Hexagon, you move a little triangle shaped doohickey through a maze in the form of retractable walls always closing into the center hexagonal shape. You shift yourself clockwise or counterclockwise around the central shape with invisible buttons in order to avoid walls as they're sucked into the center. The whole goal is to see just how long you can last. Sounds simple, right? Well, it is. A cricket bat is also simple: that doesn't mean it can't hurt you. By radically shifting the directions, throwing more complex wall patterns, and changing center shapes, Super Hexagon is not content to just let you ride the rails to victory.
The game's difficulties come in Hard, Harder, and Hardest. That's not including the 3 unlockable difficulties that you get for beating those stages. (If you can beat those stages.) Super Hexagon very much fits into the sort of group that really gets into VVVVVV, Super Meatboy, and Dark Souls. You know you're going to lose, you're going to lose often, and each try is just for the hope of crawling that next inch further than last time. Like any good game in this realm, getting immediately back in after a failure is nearly instantaneous. Once you hear that game over, you're hitting retry with your thumb (angrily, maybe?), and diving right back into your next inevitable failure. But that's what you're here for, because it's all the sweeter when you see "New Record!" flashing.
The thing that really sells Super Hexagon is the style. In tradition with Cavanagh's previous work, the game boasts a very retro look with shades of a single color layered over a black background. The old-timey look mixes with modern standards to form a surprisingly cohesive look, if not overly simplistic. To go with that blend of old and new, the soundtrack for this game is short but sweet. 3 original tracks presented by chiptune musician Chipzel help make the game standout when you're playing it nearby some friends. The way that the music for each level starts from one of several segments of the overall song really helps feed that "Just one more try!" mentality without making you feel too burned out.
Whether on your phone, tablet, or even Steam, Super Hexagon will always be there to make you hate yourself with flying colors.
+ Chipzel soundtrack goodness
+ Sharp, but retro visuals

2017 Summer LEADS Program
Thank you for your interest in the 2017 Summer LEADS Program. The 2017 application is now closed.
Amy Moor Gaylord
Chair, LEADS Committee
The Franczek Radelet LEADS Fellowship Program
Franczek Radelet's Legal Education for the Advancement of Diversity and Scholarship (LEADS) Fellowship Program was established by the firm in 2010 to create a pipeline of talented and diverse law students in the Labor and Employment space.
The LEADS program is an intensive eight-week program designed for diverse first- and second-year law students who have an interest in pursuing a legal career in private practice representing employers in labor and employment matters. The program's goal is to provide concentrated labor and employment legal experience while developing a pipeline of highly qualified, diverse candidates for potential future employment in the legal profession.
2016 LEADS Fellows
For its 5th class of LEADS Fellows, Franczek Radelet welcomes Gautham Ganesan, Thalia Pacheco and John Swinney.
Gautham Ganesan, who will be a 2L at Notre Dame Law School this fall, is the Asian Law Students Association Class Representative and has served as an Intern with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers through the UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education. He earned his B.A. in Sociology from the University of California at Davis. From May 2012 to August 2015, Ganesan served as managing editor and head writer of "Fear the Fin," a popular San Jose Sharks-focused online publication.
Thalia Pacheco, who will be a 2L at DePaul University College of Law this fall, is the event committee chair of the Latino Law Student Association. She earned her B.A. in English with a minor in Professional Communications from Northern Illinois University. This past January, she volunteered in New Orleans for the Saint Bernard Project. She is fluent in Spanish and previously interned as a paralegal for a law firm in the Chicago suburbs.
John Swinney, who will be a 3L at Notre Dame Law School this fall, is an active member of the Education Law Forum and the Business Law Forum. John is a staff member with the Journal of College and University Law and a Student Representative for the College of Labor and Employment Lawyers for the 7th Circuit. He is returning for his second year as a LEADS Fellow with Franczek Radelet. He earned his B.A. in The Teaching of Spanish from the University of Illinois.
The LEADS Curriculum
This program, unlike most traditional law firm summer associate programs, includes specific learning and experience modules for the LEADS Fellows during an eight-week fellowship period. The curriculum combines substantive legal experience with practical training provided by Franczek Radelet attorneys. LEADS Fellows will also receive an orientation to the business of practicing law with a focus on transitioning from the life of a law student to that of a private practice attorney.
With each Fellow assigned to a small group of Franczek Radelet attorneys, Fellows will also learn first-hand the work and demands associated with being a practicing labor and employment attorney. Work experience includes substantive exposure to real time labor, employment, employee benefits, immigration and education issues facing employers.
The Firm's Diversity & Inclusion Commitment
Franczek Radelet highly values the varied perspectives and experiences which are found only in a diverse workplace. As a firm, we define diversity as inclusion of employees of different race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, religion, cultural and ethnic background, ability, nationality and other unique attributes that do not interfere with effective job performance and superior client service.

Do you have a picture of yourself when you were age 4 or 5? Take a close look at that little girl. She was pretty amazing, right? My mom gave me a picture she found recently, one of me at my third birthday party, standing on a chair in front the cake, in my little homemade dress, waving my arms and directing everyone.
Children don't have to try to be amazing, they just are. But here's the thing, inside all of us adults, that amazing child still exists. My family will tell you I am still waving my arms, telling everyone what to do!
Look carefully at that picture of yourself. You are sure to see amazing qualities like humor, persistence, physicality, artistry, love of animals, generosity, friendship, cleverness, perceptiveness, even naughtiness. These are the gifts we were born with. Our essence.
Do you remember that movie called "Hitch"? Remember the nerdy accountant who danced like a maniac? All his friends were embarrassed by his style and told him to tone it down in order to attract the cool girl he was in love with. But it turned out that's what she loved about him the most! He just couldn't help it, it was his essence. And she loved him just for that.
So take that risk, and let your inner essence out for a spin. Dance, laugh, be naughty, be assertive. See what happens! You'll be amazing. (And put that cute picture of yourself somewhere you'll see it everyday, to remind yourself of your amazing essence.)

Image Formation in the Microscope
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
The basic optics of the optical microscope and the conventional transmission electron microscope (TEM) are similar. Condenser lenses illuminate the object to be imaged with a flood of radiation, and imaging lenses form the radiation leaving the object into a magnified image. The formation, contrast and resolution of images in these microscopes can be understood with classical optics, which includes geometrical (particle) and physical (wave) optics. Both electrons and light may be considered as propagating waves with an amplitude and a phase, though only the intensity which equals (amplitude)2 can be directly observed.

Diplocarpon rosae
|Diplocarpon rosae
|Scientific classification
|D. rosae
|Binomial name
|Diplocarpon rosae
F.A.Wolf (1912)
Diplocarpon rosae is a fungus that creates the rose black spot disease.[1] Because it was observed by people of various countries around the same time (around 1830), the nomenclature for the fungus varied with about 25 different names. The asexual stage is now known to be Marssonina rosae, while the sexual and most common stage is known as Diplocarpon rosae.
Diplocarpon rosae over seasons as mycelia, ascospores, and conidia in infected leaves and canes. In the spring during moist, humid conditions, ascospores and conidia are wind-borne and rain-splashed to newly emerging leaf tissue. Upon infection, disease progresses from the lowest leaves upward, causing defoliation and black spots on leaves.[citation needed]
The black spots are circular with a perforated edge, and reach a diameter of 14 mm. Badly affected plants, however, will not show the circular patterning, as they combine to cause a large, black mass. The common treatment of the disease is to remove the affected leaves and spray with antifungal solutions. Some stems of the roses may become affected if untreated, and will cause progressive weakening of the rose.
Removing infected leaves from the plant and fallen leaves from the ground will slow the spread of the infection, as does avoiding wetting the leaves of plants during watering. An infected plant can be removed from the area, which will slow the spread of infection to other plants, but this often is not desirable. Fungicides, such as mancozeb, chlorothalonil, flutriafol, penconazole, or a copper-based product, applied upon new leaf emergence or first appearance of black spot, can be used to control the disease. If a more natural and nontoxic approach is desired, diluted neem oil is effective both against black spot and as an insecticide against aphids. It is usually necessary to repeat the spraying at seven- to 10-day intervals throughout the warmest part of the growing season, as the fungus is most active at temperatures from 75 to 90 °F.

Introduction help?!
I have a 2 year old male maine coon tuxedo I adopted from the shelter about a month ago and I decided to get another one.
I am currently trying to do the seperation process that I read online but I live in a one bed room apartment so I don't have the room to separate them apart far.
The problem is; I can't get through the house because these two are always at the door! And yesterday when my brother accidentally opened the door, they jumped on each other and started fighting. It's only day two and this is really stressful for me because I can't move around easily. Is there another way? Or do I have to return the new kitty?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
It is better to adopt cats of the opposite gender to avoid same sex dominance issues. You should have thought this through before you brought another animal home, because you seem really quick to be thinking about giving him back after only TWO DAYS!! It will be psychologically damaging for the 2nd cat to bring him back to the shelter. You should have had him in the bathroom so that the existing cat could have sniffed him out, and then provided separate visitation until you know that they were going to get along. You also need two of every thing, such as cat condos, bowls and litter boxes. If they fight, pour a glass of water over their heads. When you are not home, keep the first cat in your bedroom and the new one in the living room. Also, Maine Coons do not come in tuxedo, so what you are talking about is a medium hair black and white cat. Finally, you cannot make two animals get along, especially when confined to a small space. What if one of the cats starts spraying next?
Panda Bear answered on 4/17/14. Helpful? / 1
I'm sorry but I have to disagree with the person who posted the first answer - Maine Coons CAN be tuxedo in coloration - it is called black with white.
I think you should give them a bit more time, introductions and acceptance can take a while, keep them separated the best you can and maybe try feeding closer and closer as they will tolerate with a closed door in-between.
As far as getting through the house, you need to alert the cat whose territory you are entering and make it clear that the cat needs to remain in that area. Maybe use a squirt bottle with water or make a noise that means business.
Maybe put a sign on the door to remind your family to be careful when they open the door?
Neutered males can and will get along with each other. Just give it some time, if you can.
Maine Coons are usually pretty laid back. Two days isn't enough time to really evaluate how they will and can get along.
Good luck and purrs!

If you've got the right equipment, the next step is to check the submission requirements for the various libraries. These will vary from place to place. Some companies allow you to upload low-compression JPEG files directly to the site, while others require you to send in large uncompressed TIFF files on a CD or DVD. All of them will want to check that your work is of sufficient quality before they accept it, so you should put together a small portfolio of your best shots. These should be as varied as possible, and include generic product shots, landscapes, portraits, action and lifestyle photos.
At this point it is important to note that all stock photo libraries will require that you have full ownership of the photos you submit, and that you have permission to use those images commercially. It's important to make sure that your photos don't include anything that is already copyrighted, and this includes product logos, brand names, and even some shapes. Sometimes these can be quite surprising. I had a photo of London including the new City Hall rejected by a stock library because the building itself is a copyrighted design.
For photos of people, it is important to get formal permission from the subject to use the image commercially. This is usually via a model release form, which the model must sign to give you formal legal permission to use the photo. Stock libraries will usually not accept photos of people unless they are accompanied by a signed model release form. Most of the libraries have model release forms available for download on their websites. Download one, print off a dozen or so copies and keep them in your camera bag.
Once your work has been accepted, most of the libraries will give you the option to select what type of licence you wish to apply to it. What this means is whether the photo will be sold to a single user for a one-time use, usually for a single large fee, or whether it will be made available royalty-free, so that it may be used by several different customers over many sales, but usually for a smaller fee each time. Read the details of each company's licence terms carefully, because this will affect how your photos sell, and also how much money you make from them. The libraries themselves make their money by charging a commission each time one of your photos is sold, so be sure to check how much of a cut they are taking. The larger, more professional companies have very reasonable commission rates, which is why they are so popular.

I found a hand typed paper from my wife's grandmother. It spoke about F.D.R.
I read it and thought about how it resembled our current president and his policies. Interesting, in the 30's and now 80 some years later the still up to the same old..... I am not sure where she got the paper or who wrote it but found it interesting enough to post for you guys to enjoy.
A stranger stood at the gates of Hell,
The devil himself had answered the bell:
He looked him over from head to toe
And said: "My friend, I'd like to know
A few little things before I let you in-
Just what have you done in the line of sin?"
Then Franklin D. with his usual guile,
Stepped forth and flashed his toothy smile:
"When I took charge in '33,
"A nations faith was mine", said he;
"I promised this and I promised that"
"I calmed them down with a 'fireside chat'
I spent thier money on fishing trips,
And fished from the decks of thier battle ships.
I gave them jobs on the W.P.A.
Then raised thier taxes and took it away.
I raised their wages and closed thier shops,
I killed thier pigs and burned thier crops.
I doubled crossed both old and young,
And still the fools my praises sung.
I brought back beer and what do you think-
I taxed it so high they couldn't drink.
I furnished them money with government loans-
When they missed thier payments I took thier homes.
When I wanted to punish the folks you know,
I'd put my wife on the radio.
I paid out thier money to let their farms lie still,
And imported foodstuffs from Mr. Brazil.
I curtailed crops when I felt real mean,
And shipped in corn from Argentine.
When they'd start to worry, stew and fret,
I'd start them chanting the alphabet -
With the A.A.A. and the N.L.B.,
The W.P.A. and the C.C.C.
With these many units I got thier goats,
And still I crammed it down thier throats.
My workers worked with the speed of snails,
While the taxpayers chewed thier fingernails.
When the organizers needed dough,
I closed up plants for the C.L.O.
I ruined jobs and ruined health
I put the screws on the rich mans wealth,
And some who couldn't stand the gaff,
Would call on me - and how I'd laugh.
When they got to strong on certain things,
I'd pack up an' head for ole warm springs.
I ruined the country - thier homes and then
I placed the blame on nine old men.
Now Franklin had talked both long and loud,
The devil stood by his head was bowed:
At last he said: "lets make it clear,
You'll have to move on - you can't stay here.
For once you mingle with this mob,
I'll have to hunt myself a job."

Flu vaccine aimed at key flu spreaders -- kids

[link to www.kare11.com]Quoting: mopar28m
WASHINGTON -- Lots of youngsters on your street? Watch out: Flu may strike your community sooner and harder than it hits the hip singles neighborhood down the road.
Flu-shot season begins this month, and for the first time vaccination is being pushed for virtually all children -- not just those under 5.
It's a huge change, and one bolstered by provocative new evidence that children are key flu spreaders. Over four winters, Harvard researchers matched hacking adults' visits to Boston-area emergency rooms with Census data for 55 zip codes. Flu-like symptoms struck first and worst in the zip codes that were home to the most kids.
Every 1 percent increase in the child population brought a 4 percent increase in adult ER visits, researchers reported this summer in Annals of Emergency Medicine.
"The impact of kids and the flu is clear," says study co-author John Brownstein, an epidemiologist at Children's Hospital Boston. "It doesn't mean the areas without kids are protected from flu. It just means they experience flu later and at lower rates."
Any parent can attest that youngsters are germ factories. It takes years of nagging before they cover coughs and sneezes. Little ones tend to pick their noses. Even teenagers aren't great hand-washers. Crowded schools, preschools and day-care centers act as incubators.
Previously, flu vaccine was recommended for youngsters under 5, who can become dangerously ill from influenza. This year, the government is recommending that children from age 6 months to 18 years be vaccinated -- expanding inoculations to 30 million more school-age children. While they seldom get as sick as the younger tots, it's a bigger population that catches flu at higher rates, so the change should at least cut missed school and parents' missed work.
And it could have the added benefit of protecting entire communities if less influenza virus gets passed around.
"We're all very enthusiastic and anticipate seeing an indirect benefit, but that's something we need to study and carefully watch," says Dr. Jeanne Santoli of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
That cocooning effect could be especially important for people over age 65, who account for most of the 36,000 flu-caused deaths each winter -- possibly because the flu vaccine simply doesn't work as well inside aged bodies as it does in the young. While flu vaccine protects 75 percent to 90 percent of young healthy people, some research suggests that protection may plummet to 30 percent among their grandparents. And while more seniors are getting vaccinated, sadly there hasn't been a corresponding drop in their death rates.
Still, some protection is better than none. So scientists urge older Americans to keep getting vaccinated even as they hunt improvements. Research is under way to see if higher doses or adding immune-boosting compounds helps.
But the kid connection is getting increasing attention. Helping to drive the new inoculate-all-children advice is "a belief that if you could do that, you would limit transmission" to the elderly, says University of Rochester flu vaccine specialist Dr. John Treanor.
There's no proof yet, he cautions. But there's mounting suggestive evidence:
Two weeks ago we have already had positive flu cases and yes so far they have been in the pediactric office.

Eleven months
He loves looking at other babies, and is especially curious about the ones who are younger than him. There are a couple of really wee babies at our local playgroup that he loves to touch. He doesn't have much finesse in his hands so he mostly ends up grabbing or poking them! Eeeks.
We have been hanging out at the playground lately so he can watch the older kids. We go down on the slide together and he loves sitting in the baby bucket swing while I push. Stu and I bought him one so he can swing in our own backyard. He loves it so much, especially when Stu or I are swinging next to him.

Look at that face and those chubby hands. Time sure flies by like a jet plane. How awesome you don't have to deal with teething and wake up 10 times per night. It was an exhausting experience for the whole family.

India Series Postponed After Mumbai Attacks
England's final two one day internationals against India have been postponed and their Test fixtures are in doubt following terrorist attacks in Mumbai.
The squad are staying 900 miles away from Mumbai in Bhubaneswar but are scheduled to return for a Test match on 19 December.
Middlesex have cancelled their flights to Mumbai for the Champions League which is also in serious doubt.
"We have reviewed all our security arrangements in the light of these attacks and will be taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety and security of the team," said ECB Managing Director Hugh Morris.
"This morning I held initial discussions with the Hon Sec of BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India), Mr N Srinivasan, as well as representatives from the Indian team management at the team hotel in Bhubaneswar.
"I have also briefed the England players and management on the situation as well as liaising closely with the ECB chairman (Giles Clarke) and chief executive (David Collier) and the players' representatives.
"The events of last night were deeply distressing and the situation is still unfolding. We are urgently seeking information from expert sources regarding last night's attacks and will continue to hold further discussions with our colleagues from the BCCI over the next 24 hours."
The England squad will review the situation over the next 24 hours before making a decision on whether or not to abandon the tour.

Need help with PVC glue selection
I am preparing to insert PVC quick disconnect union into an existing pipe (pool pump application). So I need to use glue that will not set up so fast that I cant cinch the union back together tightly after gluing and inserting the permanent ends of the union into the couplers attaching it to the existing pipe. Can someone recommend to me what brand and color code if color matters to use?
That union really should be assembled as a one piece unit before gluing.
If not your taking the chance of missalignment of the two 1/2's of the union.
1 Attachment(s)
Thanks for the reply. Let me describe my task better, and perhaps you can offer some additional advice? Because I am installing it into an existing pipe, I am thinking that alignment is already set up right? My main concern is horizontally making sure the union can tighten down and seal after being glued in. As a DIY guy, I may just not know the right technique. My concern about doing this is neither side of the union is movable so I can insert the union intact. I have fixed pipes on each end, so it seems I have to glue in each half of the union individually, and if I dont measure it perfectly, the union may need to draw the pipe back out of the coupler slightly to get a solid seat right? So my plan was to measure and cut as best as I could, then quickly glue in the two halves of the union and tighten down the union as fast as possible. Otherwise I dont know how I would get it in there? I have attached a pic of where I am trying to install the union. I can't really move the pump nor the valve..
Ill have a similar problem getting the second union into the pump outlet.
You can use what's called a repair coupling to make the final connection.
Pipe gets cut leaving enough of the pipe coming from the pump to slide the union in place, short lenght of pipe gets glued to the union, slide repair coupling over the pipe.
A repair coupling has no hub in the middle of it so it can be slid over to connect the two pieces of pipe without having to move the pipes.
Another simple way to do it would be with a hubless connector. Also called a Furnco.
No gluing needed.
Thanks. I actually picked up a couple of repair couplers at the store. I'm just not sure how to apply the glue. Do you just slather the glue on the pipe, ad slide the repair coupler right over it? Never heard of the frunco option. I can look into that too though. Just need to know if I have the gluing of the repair coupler right. Thanks again!
I slide the coupling over the area where it's going to be going and make a mark on the pipe with a pencil so I know how far to push it on.
Apply the primer first, slide the coupler over to one side to get it away from where it's going to sit. Apply the glue and slide it in place quick. It's a one shot deal.
Thanks Man, I'll let ya know how it goes..

Deciding what code should be tested next can be a difficult decision. And in any given project, there is always code that isn't tested where bugs could be lurking. This section goes over how to identify these sections using a tool called gcov.
To use gcov on wine, do the following:
In order to activate code coverage in the wine source code, when running make set EXTRACFLAGS and LDFLAGS like so make EXTRACFLAGS=--coverage LDFLAGS=--coverage. Note that this can be done at any directory level. Since compile and run time are significantly increased by these flags, you may want to only use these flags inside a given dll directory.
Run any application or test suite.
Run gcov on the file which you would like to know more about code coverage.
The following is an example situation when using gcov to
determine the coverage of a file could be helpful. We'll use
the dlls/advapi32/registry.c file.
At one time the code in this file was not fully tested (as it
may still be). For example at the time of this writing, the
RegSetValueW had the following
lines in it:
if (name && name[0]) /* need to create the subkey */ { if ((ret = RegCreateKeyW( hkey, name, &subkey )) != ERROR_SUCCESS) return ret; }Currently there are a few tests written to test this function. However, these tests don't check that everything is correct. Using gcov and directed tests, we can validate the correctness of this line of code. First, we see what has been tested already by running gcov on the file. To do this, do the following:
cd dlls/advapi32 make clean && make EXTRACFLAGS=--coverage LDFLAGS=--coverage cd tests make test cd .. gcov registry.c less registry.c.gcovThe interesting code part looks like this in registry.c.gcov:
4: 1273: if (name && name[0]) /* need to create the subkey */ -: 1274: { #####: 1275: if ((ret = RegCreateKeyW( hkey, name, &subkey )) != ERROR_SUCCESS) return ret; -: 1276: }gcov output consists of three components: the number of times a line was run, the line number, and the actual text of the line. Note: If a line is optimized out by the compiler, it will appear as if it was never run. Line 1275 is never executed, most likely because
"name" is never passed to the function.
In order to validate this line, we need to do two things.
First, we must write the test:
ret = RegSetValueW(hkey_main, name1W, REG_SZ, string1W, sizeof(string1W)); ok(ret == ERROR_SUCCESS, "RegSetValueW failed: %d, GLE=%d\n", ret, GetLastError()); test_hkey_main_Value_A(name1A, string1A, sizeof(string1A)); test_hkey_main_Value_W(name1W, string1W, sizeof(string1W));Once we add in this test case, we now want to know if the line in question is run by this test and works as expected. You should be in the same directory as in the previous command example. The only difference is that we have to remove the *.gcda files in order to start the count over. (If we leave the files then the number of times the line is run is just added, e.g. line 545 below would be run 19 times.) We remove the *.gcov files because they are out of date and need to be recreated.
rm *.gcda *.gcov cd tests make make test cd .. cd .. gcov registry.c less registry.c.gcov
The interesting code part looks like this in registry.c.gcov:
5: 1273: if (name && name[0]) /* need to create the subkey */ -: 1274: { 1: 1275: if ((ret = RegCreateKeyW( hkey, name, &subkey )) != ERROR_SUCCESS) return ret; -: 1276: }
Based on gcov, we now know that line 1275 is executed once. And since all of our other tests have remain unchanged, we can assume that the one time it is executed is to satisfy the testcase we added where we check for it. Thus we have validated a line of code. While this is a cursory example, it demonstrates the potential usefulness of this tool.
For a further in depth description of gcov, the official gcc compiler suite page for gcov is http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Gcov.html.

You can kinda tell by feeling your hair while its wet. If it feels softer and kinda gummy that's a sign. Also, check a strand of shed hair, pull it and if it stretches a good deal more than you think it should that's another sign. If your curls are looking rather limp and lifeless no matter how much you've clarified then that's a sign. All these are signs your hair might be lacking in protein. Shedding, breaking, and thinning more than usual can also be indications.
If your hair needs moisture if it won't stretch, doesn't feel soft, is breaking, and dull.
If you're not sure you can always do a simple protein treatment and see how your hair reacts to it, like Joico KPak or the reconstructing treatment by Ion.

Drive from Munich to Paris. Where to stop
I am going to be driving my family after picking up our ED at the end of this week from Munich to Paris. Does anyone know a perfect place to stop for a night along the way? Good sights to see, hotels and restaurant? Going with a 14 year old foody daughter, 10 year old son and my wife.
We would love to take our time to see things along the way. Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated.
My wife and I are planning the same trip for the end of May. I'm interested in stopping one night in the Mulhouse/Colmer area and visiting the Schlumpf auto museum. Something that I've wanted to do for years It's about half way between Munich and Paris.
Our travel agent (the same one that puts together the BMW tours) has recommended the Chateau D'Isenbourg. It looks great and I suggest you check it out.
Where are you staying in Paris? Wer're still scoping out hotels there.
Bon Voyage.
We are actually renting an apartment through VRBO.com it is pretty cool since we are renting it from an owner, we don't have to worry about kitchens...etc. We are thinking about Baden Baden for the stop. It is supposed to be a very nice "Spa" town with lots of food and drinks. (Where doesn't have that) Thanks for your recommendation, I will look into Mulhouse/Colmer as well.
Baden-Baden is a nice day stop. I did the same drive last November and we instead visited the champagne region. We didn't stay anywhere spectacular but found Reims to be a nice city and enjoyed the vineyards and country roads outside of town.
Colmar is a wonderful town with lovely canals and would make a good stop. There is great food and sights in riquewihr and rebauville (2 towns near Colmar, I may have butchered their names). If with foodies, French country cooking must be experienced. The expensive Auberge de I'lll is one of the greatest meals, 3-star Michellin. http://www.viamichelin.co.uk/web/Res...poi=3838_41102
In Paris, take your family for afternoon lunch at Le Comptoir in Odeon near D'Orsay. Wow that was amazing, we spent Beaujolais Nouveau there. http://www.foodandwine.com/restauran...e-france-paris
Have a great trip.
If you're into history, the trenches in Verdun could be a good lesson or the kids (it is the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War). If i recall correctly, St. Mihiel is about 20 minutes from the highway and it was an American offensive largelyforgotten by all but most avid history fans.
Thank you so much for your insight and recommendation. We are actually getting on the plane tomorrow from Paris to go home to Orange County. We ended up going into Baden Baden but did not stay there too long as it seemed to be very commercialized. We took highway 500 which is a beautiful scenic highway through the black forest with our new car and ended up staying in a small inn in Lauf, near Sasbachwalden where a lot of wine is made. The next day was spent walking through Strasbourg with the kids and eating some Tarte Flambe'. Great drive into Paris until the last toll booth when I got pulled over by the French police.
He wrote me a ticket for averaging 158.6 km/hr and politely reminded me that the French speed limit is only 130 km/hr. "i know its not very high, especially for your car", very nice car" Wink.. "The French republic thanks you.." With a big smile, i gladly paid my 45.00
Hahaha, that ticket story is awesome!
Nice, that reminds me of the quote from Top Gear "Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket in France. Thats like asking have you ever been to France."
Signed, I got blitzed in Germany and framed my 15 euro ticket
Doing the same drive but thinking of heading south from Munich taking the Alpine route West towards Lindau, passing by the castles, then to Burgundy before heading NW to Paris. What's the best route to avoid traffic?
This year's route kept us on the Germany Autobahns longer but there were a number of construction related speed limits so the average speed was no faster than our later time through France. The unlimited stretches we're a blast though.
On the Southern Route, are there any unlimited stretches between Munich and the southern border? That will be our only German Autobahn experience. Suggestions for nearby stretches of unlimited speed driving near Munich?
Bear in mind that traffic and construction zones could limit you but there should be opportunities.
i would opt for colmar over badan -baden as an overnite. more to see & delightful to walk around in the evening. easier to park as well. planning to do the same route as aharding next ed. will be interested in ur experiences afterwards

Comments about oreilly Opa: Up and Running:
This book serves well to introduce the reader to the power and the possibilites of Opa, and is structured around several tutorials.Unfortunately, the book contains too many small, annoying errors which make it much harder to use than what it would have been otherwise.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

About Me Developer
Best Uses
Opa is a audacious language that lets developers prototype and develop faster, which is good for experimenting new things. Its promises is to let developers build entire web applications with nothing else, but the stack it provides. It is a bold claim and as more and more people try it out we're going to see if it really stands for what it promises.The book gives good explanations for those who never saw anything about the language, but must have an advanced knowledge of programming.

"Gangnam Style" takes top song prize at "K-pop Grammys"
(Reuters) - South Korean rapper Psy's quirky viral hit "Gangnam Style" took the prize for top song on Wednesday at the 27th annual Golden Disk Awards, a Korean pop event dubbed the "Korean Grammys."
The two-day celebration of all things K-pop, including performances by superstars such as the boy band Super Junior, was held in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur before hordes of screaming fans, a testimony to the soaring popularity of Korean pop music around the world.
Nowhere has that been more apparent than with "Gangnam Style," an infectious hit that made history last month when it became the first ever video on YouTube to reach 1 billion views, the latest record on the song's surge into mainstream pop.
The tune won the Song of the Year award, the final prize.
The awards were only the latest accolades for Psy, 35, in what has been a whirlwind year for the chubby rapper, the first K-pop artist to achieve mainstream success in the United States as a result of "Gangnam Style."
Decked out in a bow tie and suit jackets varying from pink to baby blue, and only a towel for one sequence set in a sauna, Psy raps in Korean and busts funky moves based on horse-riding in venues ranging from playgrounds to subways.
The song, released in July, was meant as a commentary on the rampant materialism of today's South Korea - particularly in relation to the Gangnam section of the city, which Psy has termed Seoul's Beverly Hills.
"My goal in this music video was to look uncool until the end. I achieved it," Psy told Reuters in August.
The popularity of the song, which has prompted many copycat and parody videos, has added fuel to growing international interest in Asian pop music, especially the K-pop industry, which now aims to follow Psy into mainstream Western pop music. Continued...

2.1 Admission Requirements
Applicants should be graduates of a university of recognized reputation and hold a Bachelor's degree equivalent to a McGill Honours degree in a subject closely related to the one selected for graduate work. Some Major Programs (at McGill and elsewhere) contain the necessary amount of specialization and may qualify the applicant for consideration.
The applicant must present evidence of high academic achievement. High grades are expected in courses considered by the Department to be preparatory to the graduate program.
2.2 Application and Supporting Documents
Please see "How to Apply."
2.3 Acceptance
Students accepted in the Program will receive a letter of acceptance from the Department and an official acceptance package from the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies Office. Both letters are necessary, as the department's recommendation must be confirmed by GPSO.
Note: Students who receive an acceptance and intend to register in the Program should convey their intention in writing to the Director of the Graduate Program, no later than 15 April.
2.4 Registration
New students will be notified by mail of the dates and times of registration. Students register for courses in July; the exact date changes every year. Before term begins, all students must meet with an advisor in the Graduate Program to receive advising about the program and to have their registration form signed.
Advising for new students takes place in the week before the fall term begins. Students will be notified in advance of the exact time and place. They will be asked to sign up for an appointment with an advisor.
Advising for returning students takes place in April. Specific information on advising times will be available from the Graduate Coordinator.
All students must pay their fees and/or outstanding fines before registering.
2.5 Grading System
Classification of grades:
|0-64%; failure
2.6 Incomplete Course(s)
If, in the instructor's opinion, there is sufficient reason to permit a delay in the submission of required term work in a 500-level course, an extension of deadline after the end of the course may be granted to the student. In this case, the instructor will submit a grade of "K" (incomplete). At the time of submission of the grade of "K," the instructor will indicate the date by which the work is to be completed on a "K" form (signed by the student and the instructor). For 500-level courses the maximum deadline extensions for the submission of grades will be: 30 April for Fall term courses, 31 July for Winter Term and yearlong courses. If the required work is not completed before the deadline the grade of KF (failed course) will automatically be recorded on the student's transcript. In exceptional circumstances, and with the approval of the Associate Dean, the deadlines indicated above may be extended further, in which case the grade of K* will appear. When the extended deadline has not been met, the grade of E will automatically be assigned.
The maximum extension for submission of work assigned the grade of K in a 600- or 700-level course is normally four months. A further extension, designated E, may be granted with a note from the instructor of the course(s) to the Director of the Graduate Program stating the further extension deadline. It is the student's responsibility to adhere to this deadline and to ensure the final grade has been submitted to the Graduate Office (Arts 155B).
Students with incompletes and/or uncleared Ks, will not be assigned Teaching Assistantships or Research Assistantships.
2.7 Failures
Students who have failed one course required by their department while registered as a graduate student may automatically retake that course or substitute an equivalent course. For the purposes of this policy, 'required course' includes either a course required by the student's program of study, or a course that has been designate by the department for an individual student's program of study. Students with any further failures in that course, or a failure in any other course, will be required to withdraw from their program of study. When a student retakes a course, she/he is required to pay the fee charged for the course in question. PhD students and master's students in thesis programs can also be required to withdraw from their program of study for documented lack of performance in research.
This failure policy does not pertain to the failure of comprehensive examinations, doctoral oral defenses, or thesis failures. In the case of a failed thesis or defense, the Thesis Failure Policy, detailed in the Thesis Guidelines, applies. In the case of a failed comprehensive examination, the Ph.D. Comprehensives Policy applies.
2.8 Time Limitations
Masters students are encouraged to complete all degree requirements within two years. All M.A. requirements must be completed within three years of initial registration. If the MA degree requirements are not completed within three years, the student must withdraw from the program.
By registering annually, all Doctoral candidates may maintain their connection with the University for three years after completing their residence requirements (until Ph.D.7). GPSO imposes a strict time limitation of six years for the completion of the PhD degree. If the degree requirements are not completed within six years, the student must withdraw.
In exceptional cases, a student who wishes to submit a thesis, or to complete outstanding degree requirements after withdrawing, may do so only on the recommendation of the Department. The student must apply to the Graduate Program Director for re-admission. Only students who have completed all degree requirements, including the thesis, will be considered for re-admission.
2.9 Classification of Students
2.9.1 Regular Students
"Regular Students" are those students who are proceeding to a degree and who in any given session are attending classes or receiving regular guidance relevant to their programs, who wish to write examinations, or who are making use of the University's libraries or other facilities.
All students must register annually up to the term in which they expect to graduate. This rule applies even to students who are not residing in the Montreal area.
2.9.2 Qualifying Students
Students admitted to a Qualifying Program are known as Qualifying Students. They are registered in the GPSO but have not been admitted to a degree program. These students take a full load primarily of advanced undergraduate courses as indicated by the Department. A Qualifying Program cannot be taken on a half-time or part-time basis.
2.9.3 Special Students
Students who meet the minimum entrance requirements of the GPSO and wish to take one, or at most two, 500 or graduate-level courses per term in the GPSO without intention of proceeding to a degree or diploma awarded by this Office, are termed "Special Students" by the GPSO. Special students can take a maximum of four courses.
If "Special Students" subsequently become candidates for higher degrees, they may receive academic credit for relevant graduate courses taken as special students. Credit for such courses is granted at the discretion of the Graduate Program Director. Students who wish to take further undergraduate courses only should register as "Special Students" in the undergraduate Faculty concerned, even if they already hold degrees.
2.9.4 Visiting Students
"Visiting Students" are those students who are registered in a degree program at another university and who have obtained written permission from both universities to take a course or courses for credit towards that degree program. Permission to register as a Visiting Student is granted by the Program Director. Visiting Students must make a formal application to the program, including letters of recommendation and transcripts, providing the same information required of all other applicants to Graduate Studies in English. In addition to a regular application, visiting students must have written approval from their home institution and include in their application a list of courses they wish to take at McGill.
2.9.5 Graduate Research Trainees
Graduate Research Trainees are distinguished from "Visiting Students" insofar as they do not take courses. Nevertheless, they must also submit an online application, as well as apply to the Graduate Program Director in order to attend McGill. Graduate Research Trainees will work with a particular faculty member as a supervisor. The student must be registered in a graduate degree program at another university. At McGill, the trainee will perform research only; the student may not enroll in or audit courses.
2.9.6 Transfer Credits from Quebec Universities
McGill students registering for courses at other Quebec universities will be required to pay for the course(s) at the home university. Students may enroll in appropriate graduate courses at other Quebec universities. For such courses, students register through www.crepuq.qc.ca. Credits will appear on students' transcripts, but no grade is recorded and the credits do not count towards the CGPA.
2.10 Fees
The University reserves the right to change any fee without notice. Transcripts of records, diplomas, and permission to re-register will be withheld if tuition fees, residence fees, library fines, student loans, or any other amount owing either to McGill University or the Royal Institution for the Advancement of Learning remain outstanding, and this notwithstanding any bankruptcy of the debtor under the Bankruptcy Act.
Fee Information
A fee information booklet is published in June of each year. It is available online.
2.10.1 International Students
International students are required to pay higher tuition fees than Canadian students or permanent residents (e.g., landed immigrants). Current tuition fees for new international students are shown in parentheses in this section of the Handbook. Exemption from international student fees may be claimed by students in certain categories. A list of these categories and required application forms are available at the Registrar's Office or at the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies Records Office. International students are also required to enroll in the compulsory McGill International Health Insurance Plan; see here.
2.10.2 Full-Time
The tuition fees for two terms of resident study in a degree program is $2167.80 for Quebec students, and $5858.10 for non-Quebec Canadian Masters students. Fees for full-time International Masters students are approximately $14,561.70 per year. Students in non-thesis programs must register for a minimum of 12 credits per term in order to be considered full-time. Activity fees and health insurance are not included in tuition fees. Please confirm all fees here.
2.10.3 Additional Session
Candidates requiring additional terms beyond the required period of residence currently pay the following rates for full-time enrollment: $656 (Quebec), $656 (Canadian), $656 (international).
2.10.4 Non-Resident
Students who wish to take a leave of absence from the University for one year before returning to complete their residence requirements should first obtain permission to do so both from the Department and from the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies Office. The student must register as a non-resident student and pay the non-resident fee. No other fees are levied.
2.10.5 Special
A "Special Student" is not enrolled in any degree program and tuition fees are assessed on a per course (per credit) basis.
2.10.6 Qualifying Program
Tuition fees in the "Qualifying Program" are assessed on a per course (per credit) basis. A "Qualifying Program" may consist of a maximum of two terms of full-time studies.
2.10.7 Student Accounts
Fees are levied by the university. The most up-to-date fees and regulations are available at mcgill.ca/student-accounts/fees.

Convocation ceremonies are held in May and November, at which time the degree is conferred by the Chancellor of the University.
2.12 Compulsory Health Insurance for International Students
In Quebec, holders of student visas cannot establish legal residence in the province and therefore do not qualify for inclusion in the Quebec health plan. As a result, such students who need hospitalization may find themselves facing very heavy financial charges. All full-time international students and students who are not permanent residents must enroll in the compulsory McGill International Student Health Insurance Plan at the time of registration. Full details of the plan are available available online and from International Student Services, Brown Student Services Building, Suite 3215, 3600 McTavish St., Montreal, QC H3A 1Y2, tel: 514-398-4349.

2.14 Leave of Absence
Leave of absence may be granted with permission of the Program Director and the Dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies Office to graduate students who find it necessary to interrupt their studies during the residency period. A student may have a leave of absence for no more than one year. The time so spent will not be counted as part of the limited time period allowed for completion of the degree program.
2.15 Plagiarism
No student shall, with intent to deceive, represent the work of another person as his or her own in any academic writing, essay, thesis, research report, project or assignment submitted in a course or program of study or represent as his or her own an entire essay or work of another, whether the material so represented constitutes a part or the entirety of the work submitted.
Upon demonstration that the student has represented another person's work as his or her own, it shall be presumed that the student intended to deceive; the student shall bear the burden of refuting this presumption by evidence satisfying the person or body hearing the case that no such intent existed. Failing to do so, the student may be permanently expelled from the University.

Williston Non Profit Service Dog Organization Still Operational After Losing VA Contract
WILLISTON- Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs, a Williston non profit organization is doing the best it can to remain operational without funding from the Veterans Administration.
The VA terminated its contract after a variety of reports surfaced ranging from inbreeding to unclean facilities.
Some of the accusations were serious enough to make several volunteers and employees resign from the group.
Former Guardian Angels volunteer, Debbie Shevlin says, "I have heard from very reliable sources that two females (dogs) are very ill with diarrhea and that they've even had salmonella and that one employee hasbecome very ill and been hospitalized and she feels it was from that one dog."
The organization's director, Carol Borden states the accusations aren't true and are being made by several disgruntled ex-workers.
Borden said between surprise inspections and veterinary testing, running the facility has been pricey.
She has been visited by Levy County Animal Services at least twice in the past month, both visits were unsuccessful in find any mistreatment or wrongdoing.
Borden says that medical tests from area veterinarian clinics have also turned up negative for any problems, "regardless of all these accusations that the VA has been making all these reports are proving that it is not correct information they are putting out there."
The Guardian Angel Medical Service Dog Organization is still operating as a non profit with 50 to 70 dogs on hand.

Pioneers for Successful Farm to Vineyard Diversification
In 2010, the Crows, as pioneers in rural Kent County, saw the vision that growing grapes was something that would fit well with our overall business plan. They hired their son, Brandon Hoy, as the Vineyard Manager. With attention to quality grape growing Crow Farm now has a 10 acre vineyard. They believe the quality dry premium wines are created first in the vineyard with the personal attention of many hands and talented skilled staff. Under the direction of John Levenberg, winemaker consultant, the Crow's built a state of the art winery and developed protocols for creating award winning premium style wines. Aspiring to conserve and preserve the farm, the Crow's made renovations that included using existing farming structures to make way for the winery and tasting room. Brook Schumann, the Crow's daughter in law, was hired in 2010 to assist with winery management and now supports the family business with sales. In 2014 Catrina North was hired as the full-time winemaker.
The Crows are committed to ensuring that the public has an opportunity to see firsthand via agrotourism the strengths and challenges of farming. Their commitment to quality winemaking has led them to win a variety of medals for their wines. They take pride in all aspects of their farming business including grape growing, making wine and welcoming the public.

Nas: The Tupac Hologram Was 'Genius'
'It stepped hip-hop up a notch,' Nas says of the Coachella stunt
The hologram of Tupac Shakur that appeared alongside Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg during their headlining set at Coachella on Sunday night (Apr. 15) has provoked mixed reactions, but Nas -- who discusses his relationship with Tupac on his "Behind The Music" VH1 special that premieres on Wednesday night (April 18, 9 p.m. EST) -- says that he was blown away by the visual stunt.
Opinion: The Problem With the Tupac Hologram
"Tupac has almost become Elvis, where people still think he's alive, so the hologram thing I thought was genius of Dr. Dre and Snoop," the veteran MC tells Billboard.com. "It just shows you how amazing Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg are, and how they hard they're riding for their West Coast brother Tupac, in the name of hip-hop music. I thought it was a great look for hip-hop as a whole -- it stepped hip-hop up a notch. And it was also revolutionary on a performance scale."
Nas wasn't always close with Tupac Shakur: the New York rapper once engaged in a war of words with the Oakland native, and in his "Behind The Music" special, Nas describes how he and Tupac nearly came to blows during an awards show after-party in New York's Bryant Park. The pair later made amends, and Nas was supposed to meet with Tupac in Las Vegas on the weekend that he died in September 1996.
"I'm honored to have been a part of his life, even though at one point it wasn't all good," says Nas of Tupac, who was killed at 25 years old. "It's just a beautiful thing, and in the 'Behind The Music' we share one of the moments between me and Pac that wasn't the best times, but it's still a real story about us seeing each other right before he passed away. At first we didn't know if there was beef or not, but it seemed like there was gonna be beef. Like, me and Pac could have died in Bryant Park that night. It was that bad. It wasn't his time, and it wasn't my time. But that's how serious Bryant Park was, and you get a piece of that in 'Behind The Music.'"
During Sunday's Coachella performance, a re-creation of Tupac interacted with Snoop Dogg and the Coachella crowd, and performed two songs, "Hail Mary" and "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted," before disintegrating into a million fragments of light. The spectacle was the first of its kind at a general admission hip-hop show, and Nas thinks that the Tupac hologram is only the beginning.
Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's Coachella Set: Hits, Guests & Tupac
"It's a historic thing that they did it, but I think that technology will get better and we'll find new ways of doing it," he says. "I think someone had to do it first, and who better than Dre to make a hologram of Tupac? Hip-hop shows are becoming bigger and bigger by the day, and I think as times goes on, it can be done in a way where everyone's happy -- where it's not just creepy, where you don't know how you feel about it. The first time it's done, it's the first time, so that's the experience we're having. Some people don't like it, some are gonna be creeped out by it, but all of those reactions are great."
For Nas, the hologram was a reminder of the fallen rapper's cultural significance. And who better than West Coast legends Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg -- who are celebrating the 20th anniversary of Dre's "The Chronic" later this year -- to herald that message? "It makes sense that Dre and Snoop would bring him out -- they are kings in the hip-hop business, and they prove it time and time again," says Nas. "That's what it's all about. We love Tupac, the world loves Tupac, and he's one of the greatest hip-hop artists who ever lived. He deserves that, to be celebrated like that and remembered like that."

We all have them… the messages that come in over and over, but we don't want them and no matter what we do they still keep on sending them.
The result?
A very, very crowded Inbox.
While for the most part I can't get away from the fact that my Inbox will be crowded, I can certainly work on thinning the crowd.
MS Outlook comes with the ability to block senders from your Inbox.
The feature doesn't delete the message, instead it moves them into your Junk E-mail folder – allowing you to retrieve one should it become necessary.
I can't speak for everyone, but it sounds like a great idea to me, so let's take a look at how to accomplish this task.
Start by selecting a message from the sender you wish to block. (Don't open it – just select it.)
Right-click on the message and choose Junk E-mail / Add Sender to Blocked Senders List. (The phrasing may change depending upon program version but you're looking to block the sender.)
That's all there is to it – messages from that sender will bypass your Inbox clearing the way for the stuff you actually want to see.

A nurse refused to perform CPR on a dying 87-year-old woman despite desperate pleas from an emergency dispatcher in the Unites States.
The woman's refusal has prompted outrage and triggered a criminal investigation.
Lorraine Bayless collapsed in the dining room of a retirement home in Bakersfield, California.
An unidentified woman called from her mobile phone, and asked for paramedics to be sent to help.
Later, a woman who identified herself as the nurse got on the phone and told dispatcher Tracey Halvorson she was not permitted to do CPR on her.
Ms Halvorson urged the nurse to start CPR, warning the consequences could be dire if no one tried to revive the woman, who had been laid out on the floor on her instructions.
"I understand if your boss is telling you, you can't do it," the dispatcher said. "But ... as a human being ... you know, is there anybody that's willing to help this lady and not let her die?"
"Not at this time," the nurse answered.
Ms Halvorson assured the nurse that the Glenwood Gardens care home could not be sued if anything went wrong in attempts to resuscitate the resident, saying the local emergency medical system "takes the liability for this call".
Later in the call, Ms Halvorson asked, "Is there a gardener? Any staff, anyone who doesn't work for you? Anywhere? Can we flag someone down in the street and get them to help this lady? Can we flag a stranger down? I bet a stranger would help her.
"I understand if your facility is not willing to do that. Give the phone to a passer-by. This woman is not breathing enough. She is going to die if we don't get this started, do you understand?"
The harrowing 7-minute, 16-second 911 call raised concerns that policies at senior living facilities could prevent staff from intervening in medical emergencies and prompted demands for legislation to prevent a repeat of what happened last Tuesday.
Sergeant Jason Matson of the Bakersfield Police Department said its investigation so far had not revealed criminal wrongdoing, but the probe is continuing.
State officials did not know yesterday whether the woman who talked to the emergency dispatcher actually was a nurse, or just identified herself as one during the call. She said one of the home's policies prevented her from doing CPR, according to an audio recording of the call.
"The consensus is if they are a nurse and if they are at work as a nurse, then they should be offering the appropriate medical care," said Russ Heimerich, spokesman for the California Board of Registered Nursing, the agency that licenses health care providers.
The executive director of the Glenwood Gardens home, Jeffrey Toomer, defended the nurse in a written statement, saying she followed the facility's policy.
"In the event of a health emergency at this independent living community, our practice is to immediately call emergency medical personnel for assistance and to wait with the individual needing attention until such personnel arrives," Mr Toomer said. "That is the protocol we followed."
Pat McGinnis, founder of California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform, a consumer campaign group, said independent living facilities "should not have a policy that says you can stand there and watch somebody die.
"How a nurse can do that is beyond comprehension."
