On his October 24 Wallbuilders Live program, David Barton made a claim (at about 24:00 into the program) that that Texas prison officials use third grade reading levels as the best indicator of the need for prison beds in the future. Barton told co-host Rick Green that the government officials in Texas came to some church people and asked them to mentor young kids in reading. The objective was to get kids reading on grade level by the third grade. Why is this important? Barton said that the … [Read more...]

NYT and reparative therapy: The names are different but the narrative is the same
November 1, 2012 by 4 Comments
Reading this New York Times article was like deja vu all over again.My first reaction to this article on ex-gays was that the names are different but the narrative is the same. Some men report changes in their sexual feelings and then therapists like Joseph Nicolosi apply that self-report to all gays. Note his statement that nobody is really gay. A few men, probably bisexuals, experience a shift in their current attractions and all of a sudden no one is gay. The fluidity that some people … [Read more...]

Tired of being a Security Guard?
We'll train you to be a Professional Security Officer
Welcome! to the home of the National CSI Professional Security Officers Training Academy (National CSI) operates an outstanding Security Academy which offers a wide array of programs and courses revolving around the field of security. National CSI is the only consulting firm providing such programs in and around Tri State area of New Jersey.
National CSI Professional Security Officers Training Academy training is not only indispensable in itself but it can also serve as the basis for an individual looking to becoming a police officer, seeking to earn an associate degree in Criminal Justice or a career in security.
The National CSI Professional Security Officers Training Academy is SORA (Security Officer Registration Act) members are all state certified instructors.
Professional Security Officers
provide protection to their employers. They protect property from illegal entry,
vandalism, theft, and fire.
In the aftermath of 9/11, security has truly become a top priority. Places that already employed security Officers, such as boat docks, religious buildings, public housing, amusement parks, train yards, shopping malls, schools, and public buildings, increased their number of Officers.
Places that didn't have security
began to employ security personnel. The phrase "better safe than sorry" suddenly
rang truer than it ever did before.
Our Mission
Company Profile
Current training for private security officers is minimal, inconsistent, and sometimes non-existent. It's often left in the hands of security contractors who want to keep costs to a minimum and put officers on the job quickly because of high turnover rates.
Many security officers report that they don't receive training, or that training is very superficial. Often, more experienced officers are asked to train new hires during work hours. And when officers are transferred to new buildings, they're not trained on the new building's specific emergency procedures.
There is little oversight to enforce existing state requirements around training. When training is provided, it varies widely – from company to company and building to building. This inconsistency results in a lack of preparedness and a lack of accountability to clients, building tenants, and the public at large.
National CSI is pleased to join with the state of New Jersey and other SORA instructors to be one of the first security academy's in the state to offer SORA training to its clients. SORA or the "Security Officer Registration Act" mandates sweeping changes in the private security industry. The most significant of these is the requirement that all currently employed and future security officers complete a twenty-four hour training course.
The course includes instruction in Homeland
Security, Incident Command System, Report Writing, Use of Force, Theft
Prevention, Cultural Diversity, Ethics, The Professional Security Officer,
Criminal Street Gangs and Certification in First Aid and CPR.
Please see our our fee structure.

Dorothy Day: A Biography
What's in the book?
The life and times of Dorothy Day, in one convenient little book.

- Dorothy Day Quotes
- Trivia and Facts
- Additional Resources
Dorothy Day was an author and activist who fought tirelessly for women's equality and socialist causes during the early part of the 20th century as well as other social causes during the latter half of the 1900s. She also was one of the leaders of the Catholic Workers' Movement, which was the first organization to involve the Roman Catholic Church in social activism. Without Day's contributions to American history, modern America might be a very different country than most people know it to be, as she was instrumental in achieving freedom and equality for many groups of Americans.
Impressively, Day lived to be almost 100 years old and fought for social equality throughout her life. By studying her life, one can see the changing landscape of American society and the different issues that needed to be addressed to make America truly the free country it had been created to be. Dorothy Day fought for women's equality as a young woman and protested against the Vietnam War as an older one, making her a unique and interesting figure in American history. She lived through the women's suffrage movement, the Great Depression, both World Wars, the African-American civil rights movement and the Vietnam War — and was involved in social action related to all of these events.
Sidot Jean Avignon is an experienced writer and a member of the Hyperink Team, which works hard to bring you high-quality, engaging, fun content. Happy reading!
Although Day's commitment to Catholicism was extraordinary, she certainly did not live the traditional Catholic life. Her interest in Catholicism mainly sprung from the fact that it was a religion that gave help to the poor and needy. Her personal life, particularly her relationships, did not follow Catholic teachings regarding marriage, divorce and sex. Day was celibate and seemingly immune to sex in the early part of the 1900s, but in 1917 she met her friend Peggy Baird. Baird believed that sex was an important part of breaking down barriers between men and women that led to inequality, and to this end she recruited Day to be a nude model.
In 1919, Day married for the first and only time and dissolved the marriage a year later; however, that did not stop her from taking lovers. Sometime during the years between 1919 and 1924, she became pregnant and had an abortion, which she used as part of the basis for her first novel, The Eleventh Virgin. Also in 1924, she moved in with an anarchist named Forster Batterham. Batterham was opposed to both marriage and religion for political reasons.

AlexB posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHas anyone got a HTC Desire (or any other android phone I guess) that can tell me that it all works perfectly with the bluetooth and USB in a mk2.5 focus? Ordering one tomorrow morning unless someone says it won't work... :)
AlexB replied to jeebowhite's topic in Ford Focus Clubinstant fuel really isn't that helpful to be honest... my old fiesta didn't have it and my focus does, i can't say i've ever really looked at it. like karld said, it's just a number that jumps from really low mpg when you accelerate a bit to 99.9mpg when you let off.

It was another excuse to go outside to it... and I found that I'd left my iPhone plugged into the USB so it's a good thing I did go out really :P
I just tested it by sitting inside the car and locking with the key fob... it does lock the wheel without the need of turning it so it's all ok i guess.
my bad, that makes sense.
Checked the manual and couldn't see anything in there about the steering lock.... anyone with keyless got any idea?
AlexB posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubAfter switching the engine off how do you get the steering lock to kick in with the keyless system? I turn the wheel and it never locks when the engine is off. Normally when the key is taken out and the wheel is turned it locks at certain points.
Put the VIN into www.etis.ford.com? Should be a bit that tells you the territory, for example mine says: Territory: (+)"GB"
AlexB replied to jason4746's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubIn the car I drove before my Fiesta (which I changed yesteday :P) I was driving along at 40-50 in some country roads with my window open about two inches... a sparrow hit the edge of the door, killing itself, then landed on my lap. Wasn't any damage but it was a bit weird, I just knocked it off my lap and carried on until I could stop to get it out lol.
AlexB replied to AlexB's topic in Ford Focus ClubHehe, the 3 door do look nicer but I went from a MK7 Fiesta Zetec-S so it's nice to have 5 doors again (I drove a 5 door car for 4 years before the Fiesta)... and this one was already built and I got a nice deal :P
AlexB posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubPicked it up last night and drove it out of the dealer at midnight with '10' plates (still looks weird to me lol). Loving it so far but have one question about the keyless system... after turning the engine off the steering lock doesn't seem to kick in at all no matter how i turn the wheel, is there something special I have to do to get it to lock?

Finally got Warhammer and my computer to agree with each other by the late afternoon. Had a blast levelling a goblin shaman with two RL friends. We travelled down to the blighted Isle so it was interesting to be surrounded by elves. Also tried out a witch hunter, didn't take to the class so much --but it is hard to judge things on the under level 10 game.
Public quests are fun, I mostly healed and managed to rank high in the rolls so that was satisfying. Had a High Elf Swordmaster use collision at the tunnel entrance to block me long enough for the Khaine's Embrace effect to just catch me... smart move on his part (though the tunnel full of my allies avenged me). A solid start for me in War, looking forward to the head-start.

So he said, "Canst thou love me, Prokris, instead of Kephalos?"
Kephalos Bay was on the east side, and there, on a clear day, could be discerned the anchored shipping.
So again, in the homes of the bright heroes, Kephalos found the wife whom he had loved and slain.
Wrote double quick, then galloped over to Kephalos to see the New Army, sub rosa.
One loving look she gave to Kephalos, and the smile of parting vanished in the stillness of death.
We had to get into Kephalos Harbour before dark; otherwise the submarine indicator nets were damaged.
A doctor at Kephalos, it seems, infected them with this poison of despondency.
So Kephalos dwelt with Eos, but for all her fond words he could not love her as still he loved Prokris.
The same remarks apply to all the solar and lunar stories—to Achilles, Endymion, Kephalos, and all the rest.
So once more in the land of Erechtheus Prokris and Kephalos dwelt together in a true and deep love.

Best GPS Apps for iPhone
Hi, we are heading to Yellowstone and points east
Report Abuse
Hi CCS,
When it comes to iPhone apps, I'm partial to a free app, Waze. It seems to have the bells and whistles of the paid apps and certainly you can't beat the price. I can only think of two shortcomings and I suspect one of them is something all GPS apps share.
1) The mapset relies on user-generated information so when you're in urban areas, I can't imagine TomTom, Garmin et al besting it in any meaningful way. However, last Fall I was in Cape Breton driving the Cabot Trail and was the first user to have driven that particular route. How well the users in the States have covered the highways and biways, I couldn't say but this is one aspect where TomTom or Garmin would possibly trump for now.
2) Battery life. It can drain a fully-charged iPhone to nothing in about 2 hours or so. So being able to have the unit drawing from vehicle power is a must. This is the aspect I suspect will affect every true GPS app as opposed to ones that use cell tower triangulation.
Another consideration that might weigh against an iPhone as navigator is data download and roaming costs. Personally, I'd say if you already have a GPS device and there's nothing wrong with it, why not use it?
Just my two bits
Report Abuse
Utour, thanks for the response. I kinda want to eliminate the GPS on the basis that I already will have the iPod and iPhone and would just kinda like one less device to manage.
But just spit-ballin' here.....

I hear you. I hope a few more posters chime in to give you a better cross-section of responses. You might even want to consider re-posting this in the lounge.

I use mapquest. It's free and it gives voice directions as well. Pretty easy to use, although I've never owned a GPS dedicated device, so I can't compare. But I'm pretty happy with it and don't plan on ever buying a GPS. Like you, I like having everything on one device. Oh, and my Iphone has unlimited data usage, so I don't have to worry about that.

We just use the maps function on the iphone and it has worked fine all over the US, including Hawaii.

If you travelling and are afraid to lose your phone, check out the app Where is my Droid, it has a GPS to help you track your phone in case you lose it or it is stolen.

Hi All, just to wrap this topic up - I just used Google Maps on my iPhone, and a big old-fashioned paper map. Google Maps is perfectly adequate; but its nice to have a real map too.
I just used the AAA USA Map; in hindsight, I wish I had brought one of those old-school Rand-McNally atlas books......
Thanks for all your help!

You'll need three compasses just inc case the other two don't work.
Report Abuse
I haven't looked into this carefully for about 3 years, but my experience with different apps and brands was that that it may make a difference whether you're using it to navigate on major roads, or whether you're planning to use it for trail hikes and other off-road use. Some brands/apps may be significantly better than others for wilderness areas.

Venkiteshwaran, SP (1964) Observations in India of turbulence in the upper air from sounding balloon ascents. Technical Report. National Aeronautical Laboratory, Bangalore, India.Full text available as:

The paper describes the special features of the F-type radiosonde in distinguishing from the rotation of the fan whether the downward movement of the radiosonde balloon is due to a strong vertical downward current or due to the accumulation of snow. It shows how the rate of rotation of the fan can be used to identify regions of turbulence in the atmosphere. The observations of the turbulence with the F-type radiosonde are compared with the inferences drawn by turbasondes in the U.S.A. and the Dines meteorograph records in India, The regions where turbulence may be observed in India have been indicated. The existence of severe turbulence in the upper troposphere and in the stratosphere has been emphasised.

Chi-square difference test using WLSMV
Mplus Discussion
Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Jennifer Hartwig
posted on Tuesday, April 18, 2006 - 8:35 am
I am conducting a CFA using categorical (binary) variables (54 items) using WLSMV. I am attempting to evaluate the fit of 3 different models:
Model 1 consists of a general factor.
Model 2 is a two-factor model (based on item format: MC versus student-produced response items)
Model 3 is a four-factor model based on content areas.
My questions pertain to conducting a Chi-square difference test between Models 1 & 2 and Models 1 & 3:
1) I tried to use the command "DIFFTEST", but received an
error message indicating that my "models were not nested." Is there another method I can use to compare model fit?
2) I am unclear as to why my models are not nested. It seems as though both Model 2 and Model 3 would be nested in Model 1 (separately). I am using all 54 items in all three models.
Please advise.

Model 1 is nested in models 2 and 3. You may have your setup backwards. You should run model 1 last. If you are doing this and still having problems, send your input, data, output, and license number to

I am using DIFFTEST with WLMSV to compare the goodness of fit of 3 models based on 17 categorical items. (There are some theoretical reasons for comparing these different models.) In the first model the 17 all load on 1 factor; in the second model, 9 items are on 1 factor and 8 on a second. In the third model, also with 2 factors, 7 of the original 9 load on the first factor while the remaining 2 of Factor 1 now load on the second factor in addition to the 7 already specified in the second model. Is there any way I can compare the Goodness of fit between the second and third models since the message I get is that these are not nested. Can I use the difference between the two Chi-square difference measures, the first from comparing Models 1 and 2 and the second from comparing Models 1 and 3 as a further Chisquare difference measure?

Your second and third models are not nested so using a difference test to compare their fit is not appropriate.

I cannot use the "difftest" option in MPlus when also using the "model constraint" option. Is there any other way to calculate the chi-square difference, given that I am using the WLSMV estimator?

I think I just found the answer to my own question. I use WLSM instead of WLSMV and use the scaling correction factors I get in the output to perform a shi-sq difference test.

Canoeist Dave Warren told how desperate relatives tried to rescue the woman buried when the cliffs collapsed.
He tried to warn people as the cliff began to crumble.
He said: "I saw three lots come down.
"I canoed back as quickly as I could and tried to stop everybody."
Mr Warren, of Swindon, warned family members of the woman to get away from the cliffs.
He said: "They were trying to dig but I said, 'you have to get back the whole lot's going to come down.' "
Gary Rafferty, 36, of Bournemouth, said: "We were walking right along the path where it began to fall, we didn't hear a sound. It was just terrifying.
"I rushed to help and helped a man in his 50s out of the debris. I saw a younger man who had also been trapped. I asked him if he was okay and he said, 'no, my girlfriend's trapped under there'."
Former Bridport teacher Len Muggeridge witnessed the rock falls while fishing on his boat.
He said the noise was like 'thunder' when the cliff fell.
Dennis Gregory, of Weston-Super-Mare, said: "We were on the beach and we saw loads of rocks fall in three stages. We saw it fall on people and it was just an awful thing to happen."
Steph Chamney, 17, from Bridport, said: "We were coming down the beach and we saw it all happen.
"We heard the coastguard behind us saying there was more than 100 tonnes of earth come down and they were trying to look for people trapped.
"We saw a boy wrapped up in a foil sheet."

I'm Not Scared by Niccolo Ammaniti
This work is part of the Waterstone's 'Discover' promotion. It is the hottest summer of the twentieth century. A tiny community of five houses are enclosed by wheat fields. While the adults shelter indoors, six children venture out on their bikes across the scorched, deserted countryside. Whilst exploring a dilapidated and uninhabited farmhouse, nine-year-old Michele Amitrano discovers a secret so momentous, so terrible, that he dare not tell anyone about it. To come to terms with what he has found, Michele has to draw strength from his own sense of humanity...It is Ammaniti's ability to inhabit the mind and perspective of his young hero that makes "I'm Not Scared" such an affecting and extraordinary novel. The book is a masterpiece of coming of age; a compelling portrait of losing one's innocence and a powerful reflection on the complexities and compromises inherent in growing up.

NOAA Announces Investment in Unmanned Aircraft Systems Testing
January 24, 2008
NASA Altair Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) during NASA Fire Mission of 2006
On January 22, 2008, at the annual meeting of the American Meteorological Society in New Orleans, NOAA announced that it has invested $3 million towards testing of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Unmanned aircraft can allow for safe high-quality measurements on research flights that are too dangerous or too long for pilots and scientists. Marty Ralph, of the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory, Physical Sciences Division, is the Project Manager of the NOAA UAS program.
Working with university and industry partners, NOAA will will take instrumentation on three test projects of unmanned aircraft from Summer 2008 – Spring 2009: Atlantic and Gulf Hurricanes, Arctic Climate Change, and Pacific and West Coast Storms.
Research utilizing UAS provides many potential benefits to society including:
- improved hurricane landfall lead times;
- better determination of the extent of hurricane evacuations needed;
- improved understanding of climate to better plan for any future changes;
- development of precipitation forecasting to manage water resources and predict flooding;
- assessment of Arctic ice change and its impacts on ecosystems, coasts, and transportation;
- increased safety and effectiveness in fighting fires to protect people and property;
- broadened abilities to monitor and enforce fishing regulations;
- better protection of marine sanctuaries and national monuments, endangered species and other natural treasures; and
- increased accuracy of coastline mapping and monitoring.
UAS measurements can strongly support and complement ongoing NOAA field programs and satellite observations by providing continuous targeted sampling over long durations not possible with satellites or manned aircraft.

I'm thinking of going abroad to have a breast lift, tummy tuck, back liposuction. Will 10 days be long enough?
Is 10 Recovery Days Enough for Multiple Procedures Abroad?
Doctor Answers 16
The Surgeon's Role Does NOT End in the Operating Room
I am sorry to pick on you, Shocking666, but I don't think you are being safe.
As a plastic surgeon in California, USA, I take care of 5-10 patients annually, whose aesthetic surgeries were botched during Mexican plastic surgery adventures. To me, the thought of obtaining medical care—especially surgery—outside of the USA is ridiculous. Many plastic surgery procedures come with significant risks. For example, most honest American/European/Asian research studies of breast reductions report 30-40% rates of complications! For tummy tucks, 25-35%! Many of these complications do not manifest themselves for 2-3 weeks.
So, what are you going to do if you have a complication? Take a boat back to Thailand? Fly back to India? Who is going to take care of your complication at 3 am Sunday morning?
Well, in my community, I do. So, yes, I am bitter. I do resent going to the emergency room in the middle of the night to take care of a patient who had bad surgery done by a foreign doctor who had no intention of looking after her.
And, frequently, my hands are tied because I do not know the details of the surgery. Is the patient supplied with information regarding antibiotic usage? Suture type? Implant size and manufacturer? The answer is always, "No." Have the patients and I ever been able to obtain this information from the foreign surgeon? Almost never. Ultimately, my management of the patient's complications is necessarily suboptimal because I do not have the specifics.
I certainly admit that not every physician in the United States (or the UK) is outstanding. In fact, while there are approximately 60,000 American physicians performing cosmetic procedures, only 6,000 of us are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Certainly, we need to clean up our own backyard.
Likewise, I am more than happy to refer patients to any number of outstanding plastic surgeons from the Third World. Many of the world's leaders in plastic surgery come from Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil, Turkey, Sinagpore, etc.
But if you're going to get plastic surgery in the Third World, then do it right. Make sure that the surgeon is truly Board Certified. Which Board? The plastic surgery board or the general surgery board? Is the facility accredited? What's the policy for complications? Who do you call in the middle of the night? And, then plan to stay down there (for at least a month), so that you can follow-up with your own doctor.
In most cases, even some of my Third World plastic surgery colleagues who are fantastic surgeons are not right for my Californian patients. Follow-up is a crucial part of any surgery. Surgical care does not end when you leave the operating room! Patients need to be nursed through complications. Patients need reassurance; they must have the opportunity to come to see me, any day of the week and any time of day, to make sure that their experiences are "normal." Patients need continued compassion.
And a doctor can't do any of those old-fashioned duties across the globe.
Moreover, a doctor needs to see his/her results. How can I make improvements in my technique if I don't get to see my results after complete healing? This might be the biggest flaw of the cross-border surgeons. They don't even know that they are continuing to make mistakes, because they never see their own complications.
Some things just shouldn't be "out-sourced." Medical care is one of them.
Plastic surgery abroad: Medical tourism and length of stay
For any surgery, the major risks fall into specific time periods.
For example:
- Bleeding may occur within the first 24 hours
- Wound dehisence may occur between 7-10 days
- A Secondary period of bleeding may occur at 10 days
Of course there are multiple other complications but we tend to prefer that our out of town patients remain around for about 2 weeks.
This is not always possible and so we request that if patients leave sooner, they make arrangements or be prepared to have a local physician who can manage the complications or go to the emergency room.
Recovery for breast lift, tummy tuck and back liposuction abroad
Absolutely not! (Way too short of a recovery period in MY opinion).
I am ASSUMING you are travelling from the UK to far away exotic destinations (?South Africa, Eastern Europe, India or Thailand) where the costs are cheaper.
But you must factor a few other things in your plans.
The procedures you describe, if done well, run well over 6-7 hours and will cause soreness of the trunk (front and back) as well as of the breasts. In addition, despite the best intentions, they are associated with a high rate of blood clots in the legs and pelvis which will be exacerbated by a prolonged flight and may translate to blood clots to the lungs, which could be fatal.
Should these or ANY other serious complications supervene while you are abroad, the cost of caring for them will rise rapidly and your emotional support system would be nil.
Should you return with such a complication back to the UK (or the US), you would have a hard time finding a receptive Plastic surgeon who would be willing to assume the rather thankless job of managing and trying to correct your complication(s), especially knowing that he/she were previously passed over by you for a better "deal" abroad.
666, UNLESS you are divinely guaranteed a bump-free / complication free / 100% successful procedure (and I seriously doubt the Big Celestial Guy still spends his time communicating with us mortals on such mundane topics) - I would seriously reconsider your plans.
Good Luck either way.

Recovery from multiple surgeries
First of all, if you were my patient, I would not be willing to do back liposuction the same day as a tummy tuck and breast lift. Secondly, the minimum time for recovery where you have surgery is 2 weeks, no less. Thirdly, realize that there is nobody who will want to take care of you when you come home if you have any problems because they didn't do your surgery.
Traveling abroad also puts you at the mercy of a doctor who has not passed exams by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Why on earth would you do this????? Money is not a good reason to put yourself in harms way.

Recovery Time in a Foreign Country after Surgery?
Based on the number/nature of the procedures you are contemplating, I would suggest that you be in the surgeon's country at least for 3 to 4 weeks after surgery. Be prepared for additional time of stay if complications arise.
Best wishes

Overseas surgery for multiple procedures
I realize that the other surgeons have already said this, but I'll repeat it for the sake of stressing its importance. Please think very carefully about going overseas for surgery, and about having so many procedures done at once. You will be at high risk for complications even if you are not planning to travel afterwards. I would recommend waiting at least 2 weeks prior to travel. You should see your primary care physician in the UK for a full evaluation, as this person knows your medical condition better than your doctor overseas. Good luck, /nsn.
Tummy Tuck, Breast Lift, Liposuction time off
For your sake I hope going abroad meas to the US for your surgery. Either way 10 days is not long enough. It is not uncommon for drains to be in for 2 weeks following abdominoplasty. And you should be seeing your surgeon for at least the first 3-4 weeks. What will you do for further follow up visits or complications. Surgery in you own country or a month in another is the best.
Plastic Surgery Abroad
The procedures you are contemplating involve a substantial amount of risk and will require careful followup by your plastic surgeon. Ten days is not enough time for you to recuperate before getting on a plane and possibly risking complications such as pulmonary embolism (blood clot to the lungs). My advice is to have the surgery done in your own country by a reputable plastic surgeon who will be there for you should future problems arise.
Recovery time for surgery
Having multiple procedures over seas is certainly obtainable, but I wold caution you on the recovery period. In many cases, 10 days should be OK or even two weeks. But, if you have a complication you will need a lot more time. Being far away from your doctor is not a great thing.
Problems With Medical Tourism, and Some Solutions
I agree that 10 days is cutting it a bit short.
I realize there are financial benefits to travelling, but its important to remember that there are some things you need to consider:
- No insurance coverage: many plans wont help if you have a procedure overseas and develop a probem, so check into this before leaving
- No legal protecton: not much to do about this
- No longterm aftercare: you should find a practitioner willing to take on your care before you leave
- Increased blood clot risk from surgery + travel: check with your primiary doc and the surgeon aout preventative measure and medications you may need
- Harder to get revisions: find out your docs policy here. Are you responsible for travel, OR, and anesthesia if a touch-up is needed ?
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.

Moscow (RIA Novosti) Dec 26, 2012
Russian space agency Roscosmos experts say the destruction of a bearing inside the turbopump of the Briz-M upper stage's engine is the most likely reason for the initial failure of Russia's Yamal-402 satellite to reach its designated orbit, the Kommersant business daily reported on Tuesday.
The satellite was launched from the Baikonur Space Center in Kazakhstan on December 8 but separated from its upper stage four minutes early, failing to reach the desired orbit. A four-step recovery plan developed by aerospace company Thales Alenia Space later got the satellite into its target orbit using its engines.
The service life of the satellite will be reduced from 15 to 11 years due to the emergency use of some of its fuel reserves. The failure was not the first for Briz, which has a less than perfect reliability record.
Kommersant reported that the final results of the investigation into the failure will be announced by the end of the year. Roscosmos specialists will now check the condition of all turbopumps.
The Yamal-402 satellite, built by Thales Alenia Space, is equipped with 46 Ku-band transponders providing for the coverage zone over the most part of the territory of Russia, the CIS, Europe, Middle East and Africa.
This is the second Yamal-class telecoms satellite launched for Gazprom Space Systems (GSS), a telecommunications arm of Russia's energy giant Gazprom, this year. The Yamal-300K telecoms satellite, built by Russia's Reshetnev space company, was orbited on November 3. Its service zone covers 95 percent of the Russian territory.
The GSS, formerly known as Gazcom, also has Yamal-201 and Yamal-202 telecoms satellites in orbit. The company plans to have the Yamal satellite network in full operation by 2020.

ACA's latest comments responded to a public notice the by FCC's Wireline Competition Bureau that sought comment on the following CAF issues: How to determine which census blocks are served by an unsubsidized competitor; how price cap carriers will demonstrate they are meeting the FCC's requirements for reasonable comparability; and, what other providers need to demonstrate to be deemed unsubsidized competitors.
For several months, ACA has been on record in addressing the process for verifying the areas where price cap LECs may utilize support through the CAF program. These comments did not impact the distribution of funds for smaller telephone companies (rate of return LECs).
One criterion that the FCC must rely upon to determine whether a census block is served is whether consumers in that area have access to broadband service with minimum downstream speed of 4 Mbps and minimum upstream speed of 1 Mbps.
The FCC asked what speed threshold should be utilized as a proxy for 4 Mbps/1 Mbps and specifically whether 6 Mbps/1.5 Mbps should be used. In prior comments, ACA submitted that 3 Mbps/768 kbps should be used as the proxy for 4/1 Mbps, a position consistent with a previous Wireline Competition Bureau finding. ACA explained that cable networks employ DOCSIS technology, which does not have the same restrictions on speeds as DSL networks operated by incumbent price cap LECs. Thus, if a cable provider is shown on the NBM as offering 3 Mbps/768 kbps broadband service, it is likely actually offering a 4/1 Mbps service even if it is less than 6/1.5 Mbps.
ACA said that relying on 6/1.5 Mbps as the proxy would put at risk cable operators that are offering 4/1 Mbps service but less than 6/1.5 Mbps, and that appropriately indicated on the NBM that they are offering speeds faster than 3 Mbps/ 768 kbps. These operators would now need to provide to the FCC probative evidence that they are in fact offering 4/1 Mbps service and would need do so on a census block basis.
"This is a huge burden on a smaller operator. These operators assumed when they filed data through the State Broadband Initiatives (SBIs) in June, 2012, providing service with speeds of at least 3 Mbps/768 kbps service was enough to protect them," Polka said.
ACA told the FCC that the 6/1.5 Mbps proxy would mean that up to 6 million housing units receiving 4/1 Mbps service could be at risk of being overbuilt by a second provider receiving CAF support.
At least as a matter of equity, ACA said the FCC should use 3 Mbps/768 kbps as the proxy, and it should place the burden on the price cap LECs to challenge a cable operator claiming that while it is designated on the NBM as providing service at 3 Mbps/768 kbps, it is not actually providing 4/1 Mbps service. ACA cautioned the FCC not to alter the established baseline 4/1 Mbps benchmark because cable operators that indicated that they provide broadband at speeds of 3 Mbps/768 kbps on the NBM at the time the data was collected, can be expected to have upgraded their service to meet growing demand for higher speed service by the time that CAF money will be deployed in these areas.
ACA said it supported the FCC's proposal to establish a presumption that if a cable operator meets the speed threshold such that an area on the NBM is designated as served, the operator also meets the capacity, latency, and price requirements. ACA added that a challenger should be required to submit clear and convincing evidence to prove the competing provider is not actually meeting the requirements. ACA warned that permitting inquiries into these additional requirements would open every census block on the NBM to a challenge, placing a great burden on cable operators, which have already submitted mapping data, and on the FCC, which would need to hear and decide every challenge on potentially multiple factors.
Lastly, ACA said there are cogent reasons for the FCC to refrain from acting ambitiously to adopt benchmarks for price and terms of service, especially ones that would effectively establish either directly or effectively prices and minimum usage allowances that competitive providers must follow if an area is to be deemed served.
"The FCC should recognize that any attempt to establish hard and fast comparable rates and terms of service between urban and rural areas could threaten private investments already made in broadband plant in high cost areas or deter future such investment in these areas," Polka said.

Genbox 3.x is two years old. "CINCINNATI, OHIO February 8, 2003 --
Thoughtful Creations today announced the release of Genbox Family History
I'm trying to find out if the trial code used by 30-day software demos like
Genbox 3 and TMG 6 has a conflict with the "days remaining" shown when the
software is _installed_ a week or two after the program file download. Some
programs require uninstall of a trial version when a registered product is
loaded. I've worked with various public Beta tests of image software since
When Genbox has a new version, existing customers and researchers currently
using other products might want to work with a trial before paying for an
upgrade or whole version. Is it safe to load two or more 30 day trial
versions on the same computer to compare features? Is it safe to delay the
installation or is some hidden file written to the hard drive?
Do developers test trial versions on computers with commonly used and
competing programs? Some products have limited feature demos with 50 names
and some have a free or "lite" version that allows an unlock code to be
entered for more features. I don't expect to need to uninstall trial
software when the screen tells me it has 10 days or more left.
Registered Genbox customers and Beta testers would not be working with the
trial version for comparing features like a potential Genbox customer
looking for a different genealgoy program.
Would two trial programs have a conflict with the trial code? A trial
version installed on Jan 1 should not have expired on Jan 22 but the program
file had been downloaded on Dec 22.
Genealogy programs sometimes use program files of different versions. Trial
Dec 2004 file for PDF reports was an older version than the same file used
by a registered program. -- Elizabeth
----- Original Message -----
From: "Phil. Warn"
no trial software would require anything so dramatic as a re-formatting of
any hard drive.

Q: My signal is within the instrumentation amplifiers specified input voltage range, but the output seems saturated. Whats happening? Is the part broken?
A: On February 18, 2013, a spectacular and successful diamond heist was carried out in about five minutes, while loading the cargo onto an aircraft headed from Brussels to Zurich. An estimated value of $350 million makes it one of the largest diamond heists of all time. With thieves disguised as police officers (down to the armbands), an elaborate plot was executed quickly and with high precision, similar to what would be seen in a Hollywood movie. The passengers didnt notice until everyone had to disembark the airplane. The robbery started an international manhunt to bring the burglars to justice.
Those of us working with electronics need to be concerned with a different diamond plot. When using in-amps, designers often observe strange phenomena. The problem is sometimes accurately explained as the output is saturated, but other times the description can be a little more cryptic: the gain error is very high, or the amplifier is very nonlinear, or simply it doesnt work when it should. We dont have a flow chart to solve customer problems, but if we had one, check the diamond plot would come right after make sure the part is powered up.
In this context, the diamond plot, often found in the data sheet, shows an in-amps input common-mode voltage vs. output voltage range. If the operating conditions fall within the contour, the device should operate properly; otherwise, the output will be invalid due to saturation of internal nodes.
For readers unfamiliar with in-amps, these linear devices amplify the voltage difference between their inputs, independent of the input voltage relative to the supply voltage. The input common-mode voltage, which is the average of the two input voltages, is rejected by the amplifier.
Naturally, operation is restricted to a limited voltage range, which most people would expect to be less than the supplies, so its generally not a problem. However, the common-mode voltage does not simply disappear as it enters the circuit. Instead, its internally subtracted from the desired signal. This means that the amplified signal and the common-mode voltage must fit within the voltage rails. The mechanism by which the common-mode voltage is subtracted depends on the particular circuit topology, giving the contour a specific shape, which can be an octagon, hexagon, or parallelogram. "Diamond plot" can be a bit of a misnomer, but these contour plots provide the circuit designer with useful information regarding the proper operating range given the input voltages, desired output swing, reference voltage, and supply rails.
This problem becomes more challenging when working with low supply voltages and single-supply applications, because the diamond plot becomes much smaller and the operation range becomes even more restricted. Modern in-amps such as the AD8226, AD8227, AD8420, and AD8422 aim to expand the diamond plot as much as possible. To simplify low-voltage designs, the AD8237s diamond plot exceeds the supply, as shown in Figure 1.
So, next time youre designing with an in-amp, remember to consider the diamond plot. At least this plot wont get Interpol knocking on your door to recover the stolen rocks!

Great Case, Awesome Support 08/22/2012
This review is from: RAIDMAX Viper ATX-321WW White Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
The case is beautiful, spacious, and (I didn't notice in the diescription) both panels open up to allow cables to pass through it behind the mother board. This case is everything I asked for.
The case arrived damaged, the entire side panel with the plexi was smashed in (box had a huge dent and tear in it) but otherwise the rest of the case was structurally sound.
I called Newegg and they offered to replace the entire case for me, but I had already put my rig together inside it. I asked if they had a spare and they don't stock spares (understandable). I told them i'd contact Raidmax and get back to them.
I sent an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with my invoice, and pics of the damage and asked if i could get a new side panel instead of replacing the whole thing. I sent the email at 1am. at 11am the next day i got an email back from Raidmax stating my side panel was already in the mail with a confirmation number!
none. The customer service of both Newegg and Raidmax (See above) made this a pleasant experience and I will buy from them again and again - as well as suggest them to others.
Other Thoughts:
There are some pretty questionable negative reviews on this case (and other products) and I only have this to say. Be courteous, and respectful to the reps, ask for possibilities instead of demanding stuff. These companies live and die (especially newegg) with customer reviews. LET them help you and you will be satisfied.

Congratulations to Elliott Pinn of The George, Christchurch who last night was awarded the NZ-UK Link Apprentice of the Year 2011 in the National Hospitality Standards Institute (HSI) Modern Apprentice of the Year competition. Up against competitors from all over New Zealand, Elliott, an apprentice chef in The George's signature restaurant Pescatore, created a winning menu from a surprise box of ingredients.
To be eligible for the competition, applicants must have completed 12 months of their Cookery Modern Apprenticeship and preferably have had some competition experience. As the awards are training focused, part of Elliott's prize will be to travel to London to work with some of London's top kitchen brigades in a variety of restaurants.
Elliott follows in the footsteps of friend Tom Williams, also from The George's kitchen team, who won the very same award in 2009 and greatly benefitted from his time overseas. Although, still an apprentice, Elliott has already travelled to Melbourne where he represented New Zealand in the Fonterra 'Proud to be a Chef' final in Melbourne earlier this year.
The George takes great satisfaction in the achievements of its chefs and is proud of the excellent training they receive whilst working in its kitchen brigade.

Nothing is free, especially where kids are concerned. "I gotta have," "I want it" and "You promised" are all familiar mantras heard by parents milliseconds after the car door shuts. So why not surprise your complaining juniors with a "scared straight" time-travel expedition to 1870 that's absolutely free?
It's worth the drive to Florence just to see the shock on your spawn's faces when they realize their Native American counterparts passed their time not by shopping but by actually making baskets, pottery, quilts, arrowheads and figurines of other hardworking Native Americans. Other sobering turn-of-the-20th-century artifacts include blacksmith equipment, antique medical supplies that were a marked improvement over bloodletting, musical instruments that don't plug in, tools, historic maps and jail objects like old nooses that have swung as recently as 1965! We can't guarantee your kids will be humble and hardworking once you get back to the future, but you've given them an interactive past money can't buy.
Open April-June, and September-November, noon-4 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays; December-March, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays, noon-4 p.m. Sundays. Closed July-August.
Following September 11, our nation had collective guilt about trying to enjoy itself. After the postponement of most sporting events and the Emmys that first weekend, ducking out on a Sunday night to see a band seemed a premature and potentially depressing proposition. But the Issaquah, Washington, trio, which began its tour on September 4, hit the right chord with a video presentation that probably was a happy accident more than anything else. Whatever its genesis, it was a stroke of genius to open the show with video footage of crumbling buildings played in reverse. After a week of watching the towers collapse over and over again on television, the idea of seeing something constructive for a change brought more smiles and a more restored semblance of normalcy than even 100 stacks of "Fuck Osama" tee shirts. In its modest way, the Mouse made a difference. This band deserves to be huge.
When word got around that The Blue Ox was going to become a Mexican bar, we mourned the short life span of our favorite dive -- but not for long. Before we could shed a tear for our old haunt, The Rogue -- formerly known as Sneaky Pete's -- got a bit of a makeover and became the new destination for the same punk and rockabilly crowd. Thanks in large part to Blue Ox personality Randy, who brought his schmoozing skills to the new joint to book the same kinds of bands, The Rogue is not only a great place to kick back with a cold one and enjoy a smokin' jukebox or Saturday-night DJs Nate and Allen, but to see cheap, fun trash-rock acts.
This venerable little club doesn't look like much from the outside. No matter. Inside, the beer is always cold and the music is hot. Bob Corritore (a mean harmonica player himself) works tirelessly to keep this national-level blues joint afloat -- and right in our own backyard. For this, we thank the Blues God from the bottom of our aching, mistreated hearts. Corritore books everyone from the surviving Mississippi Delta kings to up-and-coming honkers from right here in the Valley, and at an eminently fair price to consumers. What more could a bluesbo ask for?
What do Agent Orange, the Handsome Family, Poster Children, Daniel Johnston, Death Cab for Cutie, Mike Watt and Frank Black all have in common? No, it's not a track list for a great mix CD; they're all acts that played Nita's Hideaway in 2002. The intimate venue continues to sate the hunger of deprived music fans with its cornucopia of musical goodness.
Nita's constantly provides a great balance of up-and-coming indie acts, under-the-radio-radar artists and high-quality touring acts that would normally skip our metro altogether. This is largely due to the work of local musical seer Charlie Levy, who seamlessly combines music sense, charm and passion. For years, Nita's has boasted such an amazing array of musical diversity that simply listing its acts would be testament enough to Levy's keen ear and vision.
But the Nita's we know and love is in transition. Due to re-zoning, the building on Rio Salado soon will be no more, perhaps to be replaced by another huge outdoor shopping extravaganza. But fear not. Club owner Mark Covert has a new site lined up, and Levy cannot feign retirement for long. He would never admit it, but he loves what he does.
Teen Central is cool. Too cool for our decidedly unhip vocab. And this is as it should be.
Designed by architect Will Bruder and based on the findings of teen focus groups he conducted, the 5,000-foot, ultramodern space inside Burton Barr is not your mother's library. A brushed metal reference desk is backdropped by towering stereo and computer equipment. Music jams throughout. No one is hushed for chatting, because most chatting is conducted via instant messaging.
The circular space features 20 wired, souped-up machines, free for surfing, music listening or gaming. Other amenities to attract teen people include a "living room" with comfy chairs, surround sound and a big-screen cable TV; an art gallery featuring works by young artists; and a cafe. Teen Central also has mucho multimedia. Its CDs, DVDs, videos, books and games are current titles requested by teens and evaluated by Teen Services librarian Karl Kendall. A cursory glance at the CDs offered titles ranging from Blonde Redhead to La Bohème, as well as a large, heavily trafficked rap/hip-hop section.
The Teen Central space also has hosted live local acts, including indie band Employee of the Moth, Christian MC Vocab Malone, Prism Cru, and high school rock band Drift. Cool.
