We are pleased to offer the complete line of maps produced by Nepa Maps, the only registered map publishing company in Nepal. These maps are of very high quality and are essential for anyone trekking in the region. Many of the maps - particularly the 1:50,000 ones - appear to be built on the new Nepal government topographic maps and contain hiking trails, huts, and other useful information, all in English. A few of the maps - particularly the smaller scale maps - appear to be built on the soviet 1:200,000 topo series.
The large-scale maps also contain latitude and longitude markings and typically 40 meter contours. The small-scale maps usually lack latitude/longitude markings and have 200 meter contours. Each large-scale map includes a useful place-name index - the small-scale maps lack this index. These maps are recommended - by far - over the Leomann (West Col) and Nelles Verlag maps. Please note that four maps have been replaced by new maps published in a joint effort by Nepa and National Geographic/Trails Illustrated. These four are noted below.

The Honorable Richard Cheney
President of the Senate

Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Mr. President:
Enclosed is the third annual financial report to Congress required by the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002 (MDUFMA). This report covers fiscal year (FY) 2005, documenting how the conditions specified in MDUFMA for the continued collection of medical device user fees were met.
The report also presents the user fee revenues and related expenses for FY 2005, and details the amount carried over at the end of the year that remains available. For FY 2005, net MDUFMA user fee collections totaled $31.1 million, and fees obligated totaled $27.2 million. In addition, FDA received a significant increase in appropriations for its device program in FY 2005. Over 65 percent of the funds spent for device review went for staff salaries and benefits, and the remainder went toward increased support and infrastructure for the device review program.
Michael O. Leavitt

Executive Summary
The Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002 (MDUFMA) requires the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to report annually on the financial aspects of its implementation. This is FDA's report for fiscal year (FY) 2005.
MDUFMA, as amended by the Medical Device User Fee Stabilization Act of 2005 (MDUFSA), specifies that three conditions must be satisfied in order for FDA to collect and spend MDUFMA fees:
- Within FDA's salaries and expenses appropriation, the amount appropriated for devices and radiological health after FY 2004 must be at least $205,720,000 (excluding fees and adjusted for inflation).
- Fee revenues collected must be specified in Appropriation Acts.
- FDA must spend at least as much from appropriated funds for the review of medical device applications as it spent in FY 2002, adjusted for inflation.
This report describes how these specific statutory conditions or "triggers" were met in FY 2005. The report also provides information on the user fee revenues and expenditures in FY 2005, and on the carryover balance.
In FY 2005, FDA net collections totaled $31.1 million in fees—including $3.4 million of fees paid in advance for applications that had not been received. Cumulative collections since the beginning of the program were $6.1 million less than the adjusted revenue amounts set in statute through FY 2005. The shortfall is due to fewer applications that paid the highest fees, fewer supplements that paid the higher supplement fee, and to a larger number of applications than expected that qualified for exemption from fees.
In FY 2005, FDA obligated $27.2 million from MDUFMA revenues to support FDA's medical device review program, and carried forward into FY 2006 a balance of $13.9 million (including $3.4 million in fees for applications not yet submitted). Over 65 percent of the total amount spent for the device review program in FY 2005 went for personnel salary and benefit costs. The balance was primarily operating costs and infrastructure necessary to support the staff. The MDUFMA fees, and significantly increased appropriations for the medical device program, enabled FDA to dedicate 205 more staff years to device review in FY 2005 than it did in FY 2002, before MDUFMA was enacted. An additional 70 contract years were also dedicated to device review in FY 2005, compared with FY 2002 before MDUFMA was enacted. These resources have enabled FDA to achieve almost all of the performance goals associated with the enactment of MDUFMA, and to substantially strengthen FDA's medical device review program.
The Agency looks forward to continued strengthening of the device program over the two remaining years that MDUFMA is authorized.

Macintosh | Windows | Windows 95/98/ME/2000 | UNIX and Linux | Listing by Platform
Screen Readers
Henter-Joyce, Inc. has announced that JAWS for DOS 2.31, the product that brought the company to prominence in the access technology industry in 1988, is now available as a free download from the internet.
BDIR works like DOS's DIR command with the following enhancements: large character output, automatic pause at end of page, allows sorted directory listing, allows omission of fields. Freeware.
BEDIT is a text editor that uses a variety of character sizes to display all output, including help and error messages. The characters range from normal text size to large block characters that each take up 4 standard rows and 8 standard columns.
BEDIT was originally written to make a low-price editor available to users with vision impairment but might also be used on laptops, which tend to impair everyone's vision. Shareware ($30).
BLOOK reads a text file into memory and displays it using large characters. You can use the arrow keys to display any part of the file in any order. This differs from BTYPE, where once you pass some data in the file, you can't go back and look at it again unless you start all over. Files are limited to what can fit in memory. Freeware.
BPOP serves as a memory-resident magnifying glass. It pops up over text mode screens of other software and enlarges them, making them easier to read. BPOP was written for vision impaired users, but can be used in any situation where it is hard to see the computer screen, such as enlarging faint letters on a laptop or making a computer demonstration visible to people in the back of a conference room or classroom. Shareware ($27).
BTYPE works like DOS's TYPE command to display ASCII text files, but BTYPE uses large character output. Since the file is displayed top to bottom, and does not have to be in memory all at once, BTYPE has no limit on the size of files it can display. Freeware.
MEGAN'S TOY is a memory-resident utility that allows users to 'zoom' in on any 13 character (horizontal) by 4 character (vertical) section of screen display (text modes only). Features:
- original screen and magnified section are visible simultaneously
- magnified window selected by the four arrow keys
- option to force the magnified window to follow cursor
- option to splice data from many different areas of screen or different screens into one magnified window
- three separate versions: monochrome systems, CGA requiring 'snow-checking', EGA, VGA, and CGA that need no 'snow-checking'
Shareware ($5).
WPK is an easy to use large font word processor designed for young children. It uses 40 or 20 columns per screen mode. A 10 column, 3 row screen version is also available for the visually impaired. This disk has been made available from: Computer Use in Social Services Network. Freeware.
ZOOM/Share is the shareware version of ZOOM, a software magnifier which displays characters in big and huge character sizes. ZOOM works on text screens generated by CGA, EGA, VGA or Hercules video cards connected to color or monochrome displays. In addition to visually impaired users, ZOOM can be used on laptops, and to increase readability during demos and shows.
ZOOM is a Terminate and Stay Resident program. It Pops on top of any Text application at the touch of a hot key. You don't need to buy an expensive 'big character' word processor. ZOOM also works at the DOS level too, and can magnify DOS commands, directory listings, files listings, etc. Shareware ($12).
Other Magnification Information
On-Screen Keyboards
1KEY is a memory resident program designed specifically for severely physically handicapped users, who are unable to use the regular keyboard. The program enables them to use most computer programs by controlling a single key.
A predefined keyboard is displayed and scanned. The user is required to select the desired key, by hitting any key (or keys) on the keyboard. Other switches (like mouse buttons) can be used as well. A software interface for programming individual keyboards (number of keys, size, color, and scan speed) is provided. Copyright IBM Israel. Shareware (no commercial use is allowed).
No-Keys is a program designed to allow a person to input text into any program without using the keyboard. It allows a mouse, trackball, or similar device to input text to DOS or most programs. It is designed for people with disabilities who cannot use a keyboard because they have limited motion of their arms, but can still make small motions with their hands or fingers. Shareware ($25).
Word Completion / Prediction
MindReader is a type-ahead word processor. This software is a powerful text editor that uses patented artificial intelligence techniques to suggest completion of words and/or phrases. It allows an unskilled typist to complete a document in a fraction of the keystrokes normally required with a conventional word processor, and checks spelling "on-the-fly"before words are even completed. The more you use MindReader, the smarter it becomes because it learns about your style of writing. It contains a unique facility that "guesses" the word or phrase that you are trying to type and presents its "guess" in a pop-up window. A single keystroke will call the word or phrase into the text. MindReader includes most features found in good word processors, plus items like glossaries with 260 canned phrases, pop-up calendar, Rolodex, and diary. This is a fascinating program and is perfect for the slower typist as well as th busy professional. This disk has been made available from: Computer Use in Social Services Network.

Keyboard Audio Feedback
This particular package has been produced to enable a user to access the information on an IBM or suitable clone using synthetic speech. The software is loaded into the computer and then it protects itself and stays in memory while you run other programs. The program sends appropriate information to the speech synthesiser. Essentially the program will enable you to access the computer in three ways: 1) speak what you type into the computer either by character or by word (or not at all), 2) speak what is on the screen, and 3) speak what is sent to the display. Shareware.
Braille Utilities
Hot Dots is a braille translation program. It is designed to take word processing files and turn them into braille. If you do not have access to a braille embosser, then you will have difficulty evaluating this program. Demonstration.
Latching Programs (Stickey Keys)
1-KEY is a program for people with physical disabilities who can only press "one-key-at-a-time" on a computer keyboard, or who have trouble pressing a key and releasing it before the key repeats. It latches the shift, alt, and ctrl keys. Freeware.
Many handicapped individuals can only use a keyboard with one finger, a mouth stick, or a headstick. This introduces two problems; one is that the individual cannot use two-key combinations, the other is that they may not release the key before it repeats. 1-FINGER includes a "Shift Feature" that allows the user to press the shift key and then the modifier key to envoke a two-key combination and a "Key Repeat Delay" Feature that allows a user to configure the amount of time the user has to release the key. Freeware (developed at the Trace R&D Center).
Lets you type control/alt/shift (CAS), let go, then type another key for the key combination. Can substitute the CAS keys for each other. Also displays status, beep, override and other features, including a special provision for alt numeric keypad combinations. Shareware ($5).
ALT.COM locks the alt key of the keyboard to allow ASCII codes to be entered on the number pad.
KeyLock is a program to help physically handicapped persons to use a PC. For someone who can only hit one key at a time, key sequences like control-C or alt-F1 or ctrl-alt-delete become impossible. This program changes the ctrl, alt, and the left shift keys into locking keys, much like the NumLock or CapsLock keys. Freeware.
LOCK is a utility to set/reset NumLock, CapsLock, and ScrollLock.
STICKEY allows upper-case and other "mode" characters like Shift-a, Ctrl-z, or Ctrl-Alt-Del to be entered by pressing the mode and character keys one after the other, rather than holding down the mode key while pressing the character key. For example, to enter the character Ctrl-z, first press the <Ctrl> key then press the z key. Freeware.
STAYDOWN is a TSR program that permits a shifting key (shift, ctrl, alt) to be physically released while remaining logically depressed until the key it was supposed to modify is actually depressed.
Programs for Reading the Screen
Enable Reader Professional Speech System is screen reader software supporting the following seven speech synthesizers on an IBM: Artic Technologies (Speech Board), Speech Plus (CallText 5050), Digital Equipment Corp. (DecTalk), Street Electronics (Echo GP), Votrax, Inc. (Votalker IB), Votrax, Inc. (Votrax PSS), and Votrax, Inc. (Votrax PSS/B).
RALPH THE READER can display an ASCII text file, WordPerfect or Wordstar file to the computer's monitor and/or speech synthesizer a screen at a time, jump to the beginning or end of any file immediately, jump to any line number within a file, search forward or backward in a file for any text string, and search forward or backward for control characters. Shareware ($10).
Switch Access Program
SoftSwitch provides alternative input capabilities for the IBM and compatible personal computers (PC), allowing it to be controlled by one or more adaptive ("ability") switches. These switches include using the mouse, an on-screen keyboard, or morse code (one of its best features). SoftSwitch is primarily intended for anyone who has difficulty operating the computer's keyboard or mouse. SoftSwitch works in parallel with your existing keyboard or mouse, allowing supplemental or co-operative use. It can be configured to provide either keystrokes equivalent to your keyboard, or mouse operations equivalent to your mouse, depending on the program you wish to control. You should think of SoftSwitch as a tool by which you can make a wide range of DOS programs available to switch users. These programs would otherwise be inaccessible.
For other DOS software resources available, including AccessDOS, see http://trace.wisc.edu/world/computer_access/dos/
CAPTAIN'S LOG demonstrates a cognitive rehabilitation system. These programs provide a demonstration of software designed to train basic cognitive functions including attention, concentration, memory, visual-motor, numeric concepts, and reasoning skills. They are for use with individuals age 6+ with head injuries, learning disabilities, strokes, mental retardation, or to facilitate early learning. It can also be used as a pre-post drug treatment assessment tool for attention deficit disorder. A mouse is required for the program, but not for this demonstration. Color graphics required. This software has been made available from: Computer Use in Social Services Network. Demonstration.
Microsoft distributes Dvorak keyboard layouts that make the most frequently typed characters on a keyboard more accessible to people who have difficulty using the standard "QWERTY" layout. There are three Dvorak layouts: one for two-handed users, one for people who type only with their left hand, and one for people who type only with their right hand. The left or right-hand keyboard layouts can also be used by people who type with a wand. See http://www.microsoft.com/enable/products/dvorak.htm
Morse code is one of the most efficient alternative computer access methods. EzMorse is based on a modified military morse code system where dots and dashes are combined to form codes representing all the characters on the keyboard. EzMorse is most effectively used with a dual switch where one switch enters a dot and the other, a dash. No previous knowledge of morse code is necessary to start using ezMorse: the user learns while he or she goes along. It takes the average user about four hours to memorize the codes for the alphabet. Typing speeds of up to 35 words per minute are not uncommon for morse code users.
ezScan is an on-screen scanning keyboard that can be operated from a single or dual switch attached to the game or serial port. A highlight bar moves down the on-screen keyboard first by row and, after the switch is pressed, by column. By pressing the switch again, the user can make selections which correspond to each of the keys on a computer keyboard. See http://www.neilsquire.ca/prod/ezscan.htm
Unzips files ending in the extension .zip. Shareware ($47). See http://www.pkware.com/
STYPE types a file to the screen controlled by an IBM Enhanced Graphics Adaptor, using variable speed smooth scroll. If no file name is supplied, it will read from standard in (eg: STYPE < FILENAME, or PROGRAM | STYPE), and thus can act as a "MORE" type filter. Freeware.
TYPESLOW copies a file to the standard output, delaying for a short time between characters. This allows the input to be read more easily, as perhaps part of a demonstration or instructional batch file. Shareware ($5).
Typing program which allows magnification programs to easily track the text entry cursor
This collection of typing tutorial programs includes programs that operate in Windows as well as in DOS. TU.EXE is a DOS tutor. WINTU.EXE will work under Windows. T.EXE is a small typing timer program. More information is available at http://home1.gte.net/bharrell/download.htm.

Have Ford Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
It is very possible to get a bad fuel pump , especially some of the cheaper aftermarket
stuff. The only fuel filters are the one you changed and the sock on the pump.
Here are a some things to check .
First the fuel pump relay. Swap it with a similar relay and see if the problem goes
If you have access to a fuel pressure guage , connect that and see if you are in
fact loosing fuel pressure.
If you are loosing fuel pressure , (pump stops working ) try the following, this
should determine if the new pump is bad.
1. Locate the fuel pump driver module to the right of the rear seat cushion (pull the cushion to access it) and monitor voltage across the White/Red and Black/Pink wires to the fuel pump from the fuel pump driver module. If there is more than 7 volts across these wires while cranking, and the wires are OK from there to the pump, replace the pump. Also, if there is battery voltage out of the driver module on the White/Red wire, and the Black/Pink wire is jumped to ground, the fuel pressure should be over 60 PSI. If less, that confirms a bad fuel pump. 2. If battery voltage is present on the White/Red wire, but the driver module does not ground the Black/Pink wire while cranking, check Ground G302, which is the Black wire to the driver module, and grounds on the right (passenger) side of the trunk, behind the wheel well.
Note: If you get as far as dropping the tank again , take a close look at the plug to
the fuel pump. Make sure the connections are good and no signs of heat at the
Witch relay is the one for the pump? The computer was reading 38psi spicking to about 55 then dropping off fast when starting. I have the wagon model is the wire still under the seet. I see the relays up under the hood with the fuses. I am not sure witch one is for the pump. I have the computer reader is there any thing els I can look at to check it out? I realy don't want to have to take the tank out one more time. It is half full the last time it only had a few gallons in it.
Here is the location of the fuel pump relay.
Yes , it should be in the same location.
You can also check the fuel pressure regulator,
pull the vac . line off and see if there is fuel there.
pressure regulator is on the fuel injector rail.
I will have to look at it when I get home from work.
Ok , let me know what you find.
Hi I changed the fuel pump and still have the same problem. Is there anything further down the line that could be cloged, I see some sort of silver item on the fuel line. up in the engine compartment. Please I need help I need to get this car back on the road.
The silver item on the fuel rail is probably the fuel pressure regulator. That is what
i previously suggested you take the vacuum line off to see if fuel was there.
see if the car will start if you spray carb cleaner into the intake while someone
cranks it over.
The engine starts on its own without spraying carb cleaner but acts like it runs out of fuel and shuts down. After I changed the pump the second time it would stay running but if I gave it gas it would shut down like it is starving for gas. There is a small shrader valve on the fuel line that if I press down on the valve I get gas out. Could it be the regulator? There is pressure on the fuel line when I take the inlet side of the fuel filter off.
You need to check actual fuel pressure at the schrader valve not by the scan tool.
We need to find out if this is a fuel issue or not.

I projected Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) September quarter's EPS would be $8.26 on revenue of $38.1 billion, up 5.9% year over year. The company's actual EPS was $8.26 with revenue of $37.5 billion, up 4.2%. This was after I projected Apple's June quarter's EPS would be $7.47 on revenue of $36 billion, up an estimated 2.8%. The company's actual EPS was $7.47 with revenue of $35.3 billion, up 0.9%.
For both quarters I was high on my iPhone unit estimates, was too low in both quarters on my gross margin projection but was too high then too low for my iPad unit estimate. On share counts, I was too high for the June quarter but was within 134 thousand, or .01%, of the 909.131 million in the September quarter.
This is a link to a Seeking Alpha article about my June quarter estimates and this is a link to a Fortune article with my September quarter projections.
I have been following Apple for over ten years first as a buy-side analyst and now independently. My model covers over ten years and for the past seven quarters I have been submitting my estimates to Fortune magazine to be tracked against Street and independent analysts.
I have hit Apple's EPS the past two quarters, been the leading independent analyst in three of 14 categories and in the top 6 10 of 14 times. I have also been in the top 10 six times out of 14 categories when measured against all analysts.
September 2013 quarter:
Hit EPS of $8.26
8th of 22 Independent and 8th of 44 all analysts for Revenue and EPS
1st of 22 Independent and 1st of 44 all analysts for All Categories
June 2013 quarter:
Hit EPS result of $7.47
1st of 23 Independent and 9th of 57 all analysts for Revenue and EPS
10th of 23 Independent and 30th of 57 all analysts for All Categories
March 2013 quarter:
- 4th of 25 Independent and 17th of 62 all analysts for Revenue and EPS
- 5th of 25 Independent and 14th of 62 all analysts for All Categories
December 2012 quarter:
- 8th of 29 Independent and 29th of 68 all analysts for Revenue and EPS
- 11th of 29 Independent and 28th of 68 for All Categories
Sept. 2012 quarter:
- 3rd of 17 Independent and 15th of 37 all analysts for Revenue and EPS
- 1st of 17 Independent and 7th of 37 all analysts for All Categories
June 2012 quarter:
- 6th of 34 Independent and 39th of 68 all analysts for Revenue and EPS
- 3rd of 34 Independent and 35th of 68 all analysts for All Categories
March 2012 quarter:
- 2nd of 57 all analysts for Revenue and EPS
- 4th of 57 all analysts for All Categories
For the December quarter my initial estimates are $57.5 billion for revenue, 37.3% for gross margin and $14.05 for EPS. This compares to guidance of $55 to $58 billion in revenue, 36.5% to 37.5% for gross margin and based on the various components of the company's guidance the "guided" EPS range is $12.98 to $14.27 with a mid-point of $13.62.
December quarter revenue and EPS estimates
I am estimating revenue of $57.5 billion, up 5.5% year over year, which is close to the high-end of the $55 to $58 billion guidance. I derive this from both a bottoms-up and tops-down analysis focusing on iPhones and iPads, which is further down in the note.
For the past three quarters since Apple has been giving a range of revenue guidance, its actual revenue has been between below guidance by $177 million to $603 million above it. While $57.5 billion is $500 million below the high-end that is only off by 0.9%.
I am also basing my revenue projection off of the two previous years quarter-over-quarter growth rate. At $57.5 billion, revenue will increase 53% quarter over quarter, essentially the same as last year's sequential growth of 52% and lower than the 64% two years ago when there were 14 weeks in the December quarter.
I am estimating gross margins to be 37.3% vs. guidance of 36.5% to 37.5%. For the past three quarters, actual gross margins have essentially come in at high-end of guidance. Note that while March 2013's quarter gross margin was 37.5% vs. the high-end of 38.5%, Apple took additional warranty accruals that lowered gross margins by 95 basis points.
Gross margins also seem to have stabilized and while small, the additional amount of deferred revenue gives management better visibility into the next quarter's results. I believe it is worthwhile to be a bit below the high-end as gross margins could come in the middle or lower half some quarter and it is a major swing factor on EPS.
When you model the low-end of the various guidance components the company provides, EPS comes in at $12.98 when using 904 million shares, 5 million lower than September quarter's 909 million. When you use the high-end of guidance components, EPS is $14.27 with a mid-point of $13.62.
Before September quarter's results were announced, the Street was projecting revenue of $55.65 billion and EPS of $13.86. I am projecting EPS of $14.05, which is 2% higher than last year's $13.81.
|June quarter
|September quarter
|December quarter
|Revenue ($ bil.)
|Gross Margin
|iPhone units (mil.)
|iPad units (mil.)
iPhone estimate of 57 million units for the December quarter
Apple sold 33.8 million iPhones in the September quarter with 3.3 million of them coming from additional units in the channel. When you adjust for the channel fill, the 30.5 million units was an increase of 17% year over year and a decline of 4% quarter over quarter (and compares to a quarter-over-quarter decline of 1% a year ago).
In last year's December quarter, the 46.3 million iPhones that were sold (adjusted down by the 1.5 million channel fill) increased 77% quarter over quarter. I am assuming that there will be 1 million units of channel fill in the December quarter (there was 1.5 million a year ago) with total sales of 57 million. The subsequent 56 million of sell-through would be an 84% increase quarter over quarter.
I am estimating that Average Selling Prices (ASPs) at $575 will be essentially the same as the September quarter's $577 and generate revenue of $32.8 billion, up 7% year over year, and be 57% of total revenue (vs. 56% a year ago).
The iPhone 5s has had significant lead-times since it was available on September 20, especially the Gold models. Here is a link to a Google Doc where I have been tracking iPhone 5s lead-times since September 20. While this doesn't provide any unit numbers, it could be worthwhile when comparing the 5s lead-times to the iPhone 5 lead-times from a year ago to determine how fast Apple is catching up to demand.
iPad estimate of 25.5 million units
Apple sold 14.1 million iPads in the September quarter which was an increase of 2% year over year when adjusted for the extra 200,000 in last year's channel inventory. It was also an 8% decline quarter over quarter vs. last year's decline of 13%.
In last year's December quarter, the company sold 22.9 million iPads which was an increase of 48% year over year and 65% quarter over quarter. I am assuming that Apple can sell 25.5 million iPads which would be an increase of 12% year over year and 81% quarter over quarter.
I am estimating that ASPs will be $440, essentially unchanged from September's $439, and will generate $11.2 billion or 20% of total revenue which is the same as last year.
A price target of $630 seems reasonable
Calendar 2013 EPS of $39.87 would be a decline of 10% from last year's $44.10, but it does appear that calendar 2014 EPS should rebound. While I haven't run detailed numbers yet with larger screen iPhones being the biggest revenue swing factor (I'm not counting on an iWatch or television to generate much if any revenue in 2014) and stable to slightly up gross margins EPS could increase by 5% to 10% next year.
With the shares trading at 13x on a fairly stable $40 in EPS growing at 5% to 10% organically combined with the share count decreasing about 4% on the current share buyback plan, the stock doesn't seem to have much downside with upside to $630 based on a PE multiple of 14x on EPS of $45.

UMKC School of Medicine co-sponsoring upcoming panel discussion on suicide 'epidemic' U.S. Acting Surgeon General Galson among scheduled speakersRear Admiral Steven K. Galson, M.D., M.P.H., acting U.S. Surgeon General will be on hand for a special panel discussion and workshop on suicide prevention and awareness, Thursday, Sept. 4, beginning at 11:15 a.m. in the Kaufmann Foundation Conference Center, 4801 Rockhill Road in Kansas City, Mo. The event, co-sponsored by the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) School of Medicine, is intended to educate media and community leaders about the important roles they can play in preventing suicides through enlightened coverage of such events and galvanizing community action to prevent future suicides.
Betty M. Drees, M.D., dean of the UMKC School of Medicine will introduce Rear Admiral Galson, who will open the program with a discussion of this nation's "suicide epidemic." The most recent figures from the National Center for Health Statistics show that, in 2005, more than 32, 000 people died by suicide in the United States. Kansas was ranked 18th and Missouri was ranked 22nd in highest rates of death by suicide among the 50 states.
Dr. Daniel Reidenberg, executive director of SAVE (Suicide Awareness Voices of Education), will follow RADM Galson with a presentation on the media and suicide, including goals and strategies for improving suicide prevention education. They will then be joined by representatives from the Missouri Department of Mental Health and the Kansas Suicide Prevention Committee for further discussion and a question-and-answer session.
The event will conclude with an interactive workshop, conducted by Dr. Reidenberg, in which he will offer tips and guidelines for dealing with the media regarding issues or instances of suicide.
Kansas and Missouri community leaders, university and school administrators, public officials, and the media — those responsible for communicating information to the media and/or public about crisis situations involving suicide — are invited and encouraged to attend. The event is free, but reservations are required as seating is limited. To reserve your seat, e-mail email@example.com, or for more information, visit www.hqcc.lawrence.ks.us and select "Events" from the main menu.
The University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC), one of four University of Missouri campuses, is a public university serving more than 14,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students. Celebrating 75 years, UMKC engages with the community and economy based on a three-part mission: visual and performing arts, health sciences, and urban engagement.

Actually, all that we know for certain is that Shakespeare is not
recorded as having matriculated as an undergraduate, nor as having
graduated. A glance at the map will show that Oxford is on the route
from Stratford to London. If anyone is still keen on searching for the
'missing years', Oxford is a better bet than Lancashire. What a
'schoolmaster in the country' might be doing in Oxford is a wide field

Next iPhone Ready for T-Mobile's Network?: AT&T (NYSE:T) sold 6.1 million iPhones over the holiday quarter. Verizon (NYSE:VZ) sold 4.2 million. Even Sprint (NYSE:S) sold 1.2 million iPhones. How many did T-Mobile USA sell? Zero. None whatsoever. Despite persistent rumors that the Deutsche Telekom-owned company will get an iPhone of its very own one day—even without becoming an AT&T subsidiary—Apple's device remains elusive for T-Mobile. The iPhone 5 could change that, if comments made on Tuesday to CNET by T-Mobile's chief technology officer, Neville Ray, are any indication. One of the factors keeping the iPhone off of T-Mobile in the U.S. is the phone's incompatibility with the Advanced Wireless Services, or AWS band, of telecommunications spectrum used in the company's network. While extra work would have been required for Apple to make the recently released iPhone 4S compatible with the network, Ray noted that the chipset in the new iPhone 5 expected this year will accommodate the spectrum just fine. That said, he didn't rule out the possibility that Apple will still decline to support the company.
Dell Gets in the Tablet Game: While Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) Kindle Fire nips at the iPad's heels, the consumer electronics industry is gearing up for another attempt at broadening the tablet market. After sitting out 2011, Dell (NASDAQ:DELL) is ready to take on Apple's popular device. In a Wednesday Reuters report, Dell's chief commercial officer, Steve Felice, said that his company has learned from mistakes made by competitors like Research In Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM) and Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ), and will enter the consumer tablet market "toward the end of the year." Dell already makes a business-focused tablet, the Dell Streak. Felice did not confirm whether the company would partner with Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) or Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) for the consumer tablet. The company has hinted at alliances with both in the past and Felice said that both are still options for the company.
Apple Employees on the Prowl at CES: While Apple isn't officially in attendance at the International Consumer Electronics Show to show off products, that doesn't mean that its employees aren't stalking Las Vegas to check out the competition. A source cited in a Reuters (via Apple Insider) claims that the Cupertino, Calif., company has 250 employees registered at the show, and vice president Greg Joswiak is said to be among them. Whether the employees are cackling in a sinister fashion when looking at other companies' Connected TV offerings is unknown as of this writing.
As of this writing, Anthony John Agnello did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned stocks. Follow him on Twitter at @ajohnagnello and become a fan of InvestorPlace on Facebook. For more from the company, check out our previous Apple Rumors stories.

THE new $250 million Monash Children's hospital will not be built for at least four years, the state government says, despite claims Monash Medical Centre is overloaded with children and struggling to cope.
In a bid for the new hospital obtained by The Age, Southern Health staff told the Government last year that Monash Medical Centre's paediatric department was fragmented, in poor condition and overcrowded with children.
The document called for additional capacity to meet current and future demand because its number of paediatric patients was forecast to grow 17 per cent over the next 10 years from about 330,000 children last year to 385,000 in 2021.
It said the hospital admitted more than 27,000 children and treated 47,000 in its emergency department in 2009-10, not far short of the 34,000 admissions and 63,000 emergency cases at the Royal Children's Hospital for the same year.
Furthermore, the document noted that while paediatric surgery at Monash had increased by 15 per cent between 2006-07 and 2008-09, surgery decreased at the Royal Children's Hospital during the same period.
Details of the submission emerged after Health Minister David Davis told The Age that the new Monash Children's would not be built until early in the government's second term, which begins at the end of 2014 if it is re-elected.
Before last year's election, the Coalition said it would provide $60 million of the $250 million required for the hospital in its first term, but in this week's budget it allocated only $8.5 million this year for land acquisition and planning of the project.
Mr Davis said the remaining $51.5 million would be in next year's budget, allowing construction to start ''towards the end of this term''.
Opposition health spokesman Gavin Jennings said the government could not be trusted to deliver the hospital because it had not provided estimates of the remaining $51.5 million in the budget papers for coming years.
He said that if $60 million was provided in the government's first term as promised, it was a fraction of the $250 million required. In the meantime, he said Victorians could expect waiting lists to blow out, especially for paediatric care.
''The Brumby government made a conscious decision to fast-track Monash to keep up with the demonstrable need in the south-east … that's why we had committed to completing this project in the next four years,'' he said.
Meanwhile, the federal government's clinical adviser on e-health, Dr Mukesh Haikerwal, said a lack of major funding for health technology in the budget was ''a major failure''.
He said Victoria needed to act quickly so hospitals could link into the federal government's program to create electronic health records for every Australian who wants one.
''By saying nothing, you're almost saying it's too hard, too risky. But what is risky is not doing anything,'' he said.
Mr Davis said he was continuing to review the state's troubled HealthSMART project, which was supposed to link computer systems in hospitals and give medical staff immediate access to patient records.
Clinical applications are now partially running in just four hospitals and latest Treasury estimates put the cost overrun at $80 million, which would bring the total project cost to $430 million. The Department of Health has advised the government that a further $200 million will be needed to salvage the project.
AMA Victoria president Dr Harry Hemley said patient care was compromised by a lack of suitable information technology in public hospitals.

The Lakers are still the hottest ticket in town, but they may be the only show in L.A. that's recession-proof.
And that's the silver lining in the bad economy for Angelenos, who can now find deeply discounted tickets at big-name theaters, shorter waits at top restaurants and great deals on meals and sporting events.
"The reality is that anything that's not a high-demand item like Laker playoff tickets, the prices are really flexible," says Barry Ruden, owner of Calabasas-based Barry's Tickets.
"Prices are really flexible" could serve as a mantra for much of entertainment and dining these days.
So flexible that, even in this economy, the recent Coachella Music Festival - where tickets went for $269 - was the third-best attended in its history largely because almost 20 percent of the concertgoers bought their passes on a newly offered layaway plan.
"I wouldn't have gone otherwise, but this made it seem affordable," said Kevin Davis of North Hollywood.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles theatergoers are finding that the recession has led to tickets discounted at up to half-price to several local productions, including "Dirty Dancing," which is coming to the Pantages Theatre May 8.
And those who can still afford to dine out are spotting tastier prices on the menu - including those at some of the city's most high-end restaurants.
"We have specials that we've rarely had in the past," said Eli Martinez, manager of Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Woodland Hills, which has lowered its wine prices and is offering promotions for three-course steak dinners for $39.
What's also become more customer friendly at restaurants like Ruth's Chris is getting seated. On a Saturday night, figure a comfortable 15-minute wait - half what it was before the recession.
Other restaurants are also offering breaks in the form of new value menus or new special deals, like The Cheesecake Factory, which throws in a free cheesecake for every $30 you spend.
As recently as tax day, national chain restaurants such as Chick-fil-A, P.F. Chang's China Bistro, and T.G.I. Friday's offered special savings. Some Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants are advertising new value menus.
But, overall, the entertainment and leisure industry - from movies to sports to dining out - have managed to survive because in bad times, people still need their good times, maybe more than ever.
Dr. Kerby Alvy and his wife, Mary, of Sherman Oaks eat out about twice a week and say they have been pleasantly surprised how full some of the restaurants have remained.
"At the very beginning of the recession, we did notice that it was easier to get a table and that some restaurants were suffering, but not so much lately," Alvy said. "People are still eating out."
More people are also taking advantage of free shows like the 10,000 who attended the free traffic-stopping Depeche Mode concert on Hollywood Boulevard on Thursday night.
"It's the only way I was going to be able to see them this year," said longtime fan Lisa Santos of North Hollywood. "I'm out of a job, and I won't have the money to see them when they come to the Hollywood Bowl this summer."
The J. Paul Getty Museum, where admission has always been free, reports a 6 percent increase in attendance this year over last, attributed in part to belt-tightening during the bad economy.
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art allows patrons free admission on the second Tuesday of each month, as well as after 5 p.m. every day the museum is open. There is also no admission on Target Free Holiday Mondays, sponsored by the chain store, with the next one May 25.
"These programs were in place well before the current economic climate," said museum spokeswoman Christine Choi. "But they've become especially popular in recent months."
What have also quickly become popular are three entertainment sites offering discounted tickets - Goldstar.com, Stubdog.com or LAStageTix.com.
Goldstar.com has been selling half-price tickets to "Dirty Dancing" and "Ain't Misbehavin'," which opened Friday at the Ahmanson Theatre. Both Stubdog.com and LAStageTix.com have half-price tickets to several theatrical productions in Hollywood as well.
"For big-name theaters to be offering this many tickets at half price is unusual," said Los Angeles entertainment blogger Kayte Deioma. "There was a big demand last year for `Wicked,' but `Dirty Dancing' isn't `Wicked.'
"Still, the fact that they have tickets for half-price before the show even opens tells you they've got a lot of tickets they're not selling."
Even the Laker playoff tickets, perennially one of the toughest and most expensive tickets in sports to attain, lost some of their value amid the economic recession and scaled-back corporate spending on client entertainment.
According to Ruden, a low-end ticket to the Lakers' current first-round games can be had for $75 - that's $10 to $15 cheaper than the same ticket a year ago.
"But the Lakers will remain hot during the playoffs," Ruden said. "And the hottest shows and best concerts will continue holding on to their value because this is still L.A., and there's still a percentage of people who have high disposable income - and the real money people still have money."


text: The Big Show came into my Denny's last night and I got to serve him. The man is absolutely massive! I'm 6'3 270 pounds and I felt as small as I have ever felt next to another human being. He literally had to duck through the doorway! He ordered a Prime Rib Cobb salad with extra steak, and an entire bowl of Meatballs (Denny meatballs are the size of a small fist). He's really really nice guy and tipped 10$ on a 24 dollar tab. I wish I could post some pictures but I didn't want to bother him for one. I already had other guests coming up to him for pictures (some while he was eating.. ***), and I feel like I'd be very annoyed by stuff like that if I was mildly famous, even if it does come with the job. Just not something you expect to see working Graveyard shift at a Denny's. Thought it was interesting enough to share =p

I have epilogues set on nodes to clean up processes ( stray processes) after a job completes using "userid". But also I have implemented on Moab, ENFORCENODEACCESS SINGLEUSER, meaningĀ jobs of the same user can be scheduled to the same node if resources are still available. This helps with users running many single task jobs with less small memory requirements.

The issue now, I have a user saying his jobs (single tasks) are cancelled when one finishes. And I see how that can be, since epilogues will clean all processes on the node that belongs to that user.

Is there a way to work arround this issue, config sugestions etc....

Otherwise I'll have to disable epilogues and work with prologues alone.

GSA's Mary Parks Receives Small Business Leadership Award
GSA Team Expands Opportunities for Small and Disadvantaged Businesses
August 31, 2009
Contact: Diane Merriett, (202) 501-1104
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Small Business Administration presented its 2009 Administrator's Leadership Award on Friday to Mary Parks, Acting Associate Administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration's Office of Small Business Utilization.
The award recognizes leaders within government who have demonstrated results in advancing opportunities for small businesses and the small-business community.
"We're very proud of Mary Parks and her team for their hard work and accomplishments," said GSA Acting Administrator Paul Prouty. "Their success is integral to fulfilling our agency's mission and to the national priority of helping small businesses succeed."
Parks added, "This award really recognizes the men and women in GSA regional offices who put in the time and energy to establish relationships with and help small-business owners. It also recognizes the GSA contracting officers who issue contracts to small businesses each and every day."
The award was presented just a week after GSA received the highest-possible rating on the SBA's Small Business Procurement Scorecard for exceeding all of its small business contracting goals.
GSA's Office of Small Business Utilization helps provide small businesses – including disadvantaged, women-owned, HUBZone, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses – the opportunity to participate in the federal procurement process. The office provides many essential resources to help small businesses compete, including monthly webinars around the country on how small businesses can obtain a GSA schedule contract and how to market to the federal government. Small businesses make up 80 percent of GSA multiple award schedule contract holders.
The award was presented during the Annual National Minority Enterprise Development Week Conference, August 26-28, 2009 in Washington.
Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than 11 percent of the government's total procurement dollars and $24 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 213,000 vehicles.
GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 480 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did you know? GSA provides monthly webinars to minority and small businesses from around the country on obtaining a GSA schedule contract.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Super Bowl week turned into mostly a super bust for Broadway.
Data from The Broadway League shows box office grosses declined $2.4 million and ticket buyers fell by more than 15,000 for the week ending Sunday, despite the influx of thousands of tourists descending on the New York City area for the big game.
The week ending Sunday brought in $16,714,694 and 183,092 in attendance, the League said Monday. The week before, the League reported a haul of $19,122,428 for its 26 shows, with 198,773 in attendance.
Most shows took a hit in both revenue and ticket buyers, and even the stalwarts on Broadway fell: "Wicked" tumbled $195,674 from the previous week, and "The Lion King" lost $315,444. Both lost more than 1,000 patrons, too.
One bright spot was the Mark Rylance-led Shakespeare's Globe productions of "Twelfth Night" and "Richard III," which grossed $907,000, a new one-week record for the Belasco Theatre.
Broadway producers tried to grab the attention of football fans crowding Times Square with a two-for-one ticket promotion and performances around Times Square by such shows as "Pippin," ''Newsies," ''Motown the Musical," ''Rocky," ''Mamma Mia!" and "Chicago." The casts of "Jersey Boys" and "Rock of Ages" played outside MetLife Stadium in the hours before the game. Many Broadway shows altered their show schedules to take advantage of the crowds.
Three current and former NFL stars -- Randall Cobb, Joique Bell and Ahman Green -- even made their Broadway stage debuts in small parts in "Rock of Ages" last week. But for all that, the show's box office declined $61,660 to a total of $289,178 over eight performances.
Even a rare show about sports -- "Bronx Bombers" about the New York Yankees -- failed to be a home run with so many tourists in town for the big game. The show fell $20,085 from the week before to pull in only $137,015.
