Drunk And Unlicensed Driver Crashes
SANTA ANA (CNS) - A drunken motorist, driving unlicensed and with a history of speeding violations, suffered critical injuries and his passenger was killed today in a speed-related crash in Santa Ana.
``The needle of the BMW's speedometer was stuck at 82 miles per hour after the impact,'' said Santa Ana police Sgt. Don Humphrey. The name of the driver, a man in his mid-20s, was not immediately released.
Paramedics rushed the driver from the reported 2:06 a.m. crash on a concrete freeway barrier on the onramp to the Santa Ana (5) Freeway at Western Avenue in Santa Ana. He was taken to Western Medical Center, Humphrey said.
The motorist's passenger, an unidentified man, was pronounced dead at the scene, he said.
The black 2001 BMW 325i had been seen speeding above 80 mph and running some red lights eastbound on First Street, It his a concrete barrier at the freeway onramp, the police sergeant said.
The impact caused the major damage to the front of the car and ``significant amount of damage to the barrier,'' he said. `
``The driver was found to be unlicensed and issued a California Index number with a history of speeding violations,'' Humphrey said. ``The investigation is still ongoing and charges against the driver are pending."

"Human chameleon" Leonard Zelig (Woody Allen) soars to celebrity with his unexplained ability to transform himself into anyone he meets. Zelig finds himself in the unlikeliest of places -- from the intensity of the Yankees dugout to the frenzy of a Nazi rally. But his doctor, brainy psychiatrist Dr. Eudora Fletcher (Mia Farrow), insists that Zelig's condition can only exist in his mind. Allen directs this newsreel-style mockumentary.

Happy Friday. Should former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush decide to follow the family tradition and run for president, he'll be starting far behind Hillary Clinton, a new poll shows. Bush would grab around 33 percent of likely voters as compared to the 47 percent Clinton takes. Of course, it's all hypothetical -- who knows who the general election candidates will be in two years -- but interesting to note how well Clinton marks this early. [
Topping the news:
Gov. Gary Herbert said he would consider vetoing House Speaker Becky Lockhart's proposal to put more technology in schools if lawmakers give the program more than $30 million. [

People wonder what's wrong with the world and the answer can be seen in Japan: the people in charge cannot do anything to solve problems because they are actors or figureheads given scripts to read while the issues are left to 'fix themselves'.
.Japan Tries to Stem Leak of Radioactive Water
David Guttenfelder/Associated Press
TOKYO — Workers at Japan's crippled nuclear plant piled up sandbags and readied emergency storage tanks on Tuesday to stop a fresh leak of highly contaminated water from reaching the ocean, opening up another front in the battle to contain the world's worst nuclear accident in decades.
As fears of further contamination grew, Prime Minister Naoto Kan said his government was in a state of maximum alert over the situation at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.
The Japanese government said the discovery of plutonium in the soil near the plant provided new evidence that the fuel in at least one of the plant's reactors had experienced a partial meltdown. A full meltdown of the fuel rods could release huge amounts of radiation into the environment.
Here is the explosion in reactor Number 3. Keep in mind, the appearance of 'reactor' and 'explosion' in one sentence is never good, (Sky TV):
Watch this video a few times and look @ the stills: you can come to your own conclusions. This camera is staged at a similar vantage point to the first seen a couple of days ago: about a kilometer away on a clear day with very little wind.
The reactors can be seen in a row with the damaged reactor 1 on the left and unit 4 on the right. Unit 1 is north and the rest are south, the camera faces east toward the ocean.
Unlike unit 1 which had a service area built out of steel framing with metal/composite panels, the service areas atop the other three reactors is made from reinforced concrete with some steel structural members and roof trusses. It is unknown what sort of roof is on these buildings but a non- flammable 'pavement'- type roof rather than a conventional built-up, slag or metallic commercial roof.
This video has a sound- track. There are five loud sounds in the track: the first is a sound like a metal object being hit @ the extreme beginning of the video, then three explosive bangs, then a sound like gravel being dropped onto a piece of sheet metal.
One interpretation of the track is that three explosions took place in series, leaving out the other sounds. Another explanation is that two of the explosive bangs were echoes of one explosive report, which is unlikely but not impossible. The listening point of the viewer is inland with the camera pointed toward the ocean. There is nothing to the ocean that would cause an echo.
Another possibility is an explosion in stages with different parts of the reactor being effected in turn. The banging sounds are almost identical which would suggest that whatever took place inside the reactor building was repeated over and over.
At the point of this video two days after the earthquake, reactors 2 and 3 have had cooling losses and have overheated like unit 1. An explosion was expected @ unit 3.
The beginning of the video recorded an 'industrial' sound of a large, ringing metallic object being struck a heavy blow or dragged. It is possible that this was 'ambient' noise from a vehicle or device nearby the camera. It could have been a reactor noise, from equipment or fixtures failing under stress.
Figure 2 Note the fireball shooting out to the side of the roof area of reactor 3.
The fireball could be hydrogen tinctured with some other hydrocarbon such as trace methane from steam effecting the boron carbide control rods. Methane is highly reactive, particularly to iodine so the fiery gas may have been some other hydrocarbon such as fumes from oxidizing paint or vaporized lubricant.
The fireball is gone in an instant the way of a gas/hydrogen explosion.
A closer look of the fireball shows that it is very large, about half the size of the reactor building next to it. The fireball looks to be about 1,200 m3. Whatever caused it involved a fairly large quantity of gas, perhaps several hundred cubic meters.
This was a larger reactor with a larger fuel load. It ran longer without coolant. The outcome would have been higher temperatures, more steam oxidation of the fuel rod cladding and more hydrogen produced within the core.
The fireball has vanished and a column of dust and debris is shooting straight up from the roof of the reactor. At the same time a lighter- colored cloud is expanding rapidly from the sides of the roof area. Both clouds are likely steam but the vertical cloud is carrying more dust and debris, probably from the damaged reactor structure. The horizontal vapors are from the roof/service area blasting out the sides.
This is the time of the first loud 'bang'.
This is the time of the second bang: it both looks and sounds as if there are two different explosions taking place simultaneously. One is a steam/hydrogen explosion centered within the service area atop the reactor containment expanding sideways while a second explosion is expanding from the center of the reactor shooting upward. This explosion is taking with it a lot of dust and debris indicating a lot of structural damage.
This is the third bang. There are large pieces of heavy debris falling out of the cloud along with trailing and falling dust. It looks like the vertical explosion is also primarily a steam explosion from the same suppression pool area as the first but much more energetic. Instead of venting upward into the service area from the basements and blowing the service area apart, this expansion is much more violent, with lower levels of the reactor acting as projectiles to blast higher levels of the containment upward and out of the way.
This is the maximum extent of the vertical explosion with what looks to be the traveling crane falling to earth out of the cloud. The crane is used to move the reactor lid(s) and fuel bundles, it spans the entire service area and weighs several tons. It appears to have been blasted vertically as much as 300m (1000 feet) into the air.
Notice the large steam cloud has completely obscured the vent stack tower behind units 1 and 2. It is likely the cloud has expanded in all directions.
Here is a comparison of this explosion with that in unit 1:
- The power of the explosion here is much greater.
- There is a large fireball which was not seen in unit 1
- Like unit 1, there is a steam component to the explosion or complex of explosions.
- There is more structural damage indicated by the flying and falling debris and dust.
- The center of this explosion is low and the axis of the blast vertical. Its source is within the reactor containment. The explosion in unit 1 was similar but lacked the force of this explosion..
- There is a 'secondary' explosive component in the service area involving hydrogen.
I believe it is likely that this reactor suffered a complete meltdown of the fuel into the pressure vessel with molten fuel coming into contact with water at the bottom of the vessel or in the suppression pool. This meeting would instantly generate a flash of live steam with explosive power equal to the amount of energy the fuel has available to transfer to the water. If the core is critical — that is, making chain reactions — the energy available could be several megawatts.
Here is a schematic of the meltdown (without the steam explosion) from Ferenc. Dalnoki-Veress:
Prof. Dalnoki-Veress arrives at a meltdown conclusion from a different analytical starting point. He wants to find out if a full meltdown would explain the quantity of 38Cl radiation reported by TEPCO at a water discharge tunnel (it doesn't, more reactions are needed). His premise indicates fuel burning through the bottom of the core would reach water in the bottom of the pressure vessel or suppression pool.
The size and power of the blast indicates a meltdown/steam explosion did indeed take place in the suppression area with a secondary hydrogen explosion taking place in the service area.
A steam explosion in the pressure vessel would either blast through the wall of the suppression pool or straight up past the various lids on top of the reactor as indicated in Figure 11. The suppression pool and related plumbing is an obvious weak area of the pressure vessel complex. The service lids, plugs and gates around the reactor top are the obvious weak areas of the containment.
The meltdown steam explosion would simply have blasted open the suppression pool and smashed aside the different floors between the pool and the top of the reactor containment. Breaching the suppression would be the first blast heard on the video. The steam explosion from containment would be the second blast. The steam- triggered hydrogen fireball would be the third. Because of the source of the first and second blasts there would be large amounts of concrete dust entrained with the steam.
Hydrogen is lighter than air and would collect under the roof of the reactor building. A hydrogen explosion would also tend to propagate in a horizontal direction the same a thermobaric bomb does. The least resistance to this kind of explosion is provided by the service area walls which are much thinner than the containment walls.
A thermobaric explosion is a 'fuel- air' type which would cause severe damage if there is sufficient fuel and air mixing. Since the atmosphere within the pressure vessel is steam and nitrogen (within the suppression pool) with little oxygen, the explosive component within the containment would be steam and the component in the service area hydrogen mixed with atmospheric air/oxygen.
Here's a thermobaric experiment:
Video 2
Here are the thermobaric bombs in action:
Video 3
Note the horizontal propagation of the thermobaric explosion and compare to the steam outflows in the stills and in the unit 1 explosion.
Damage to both service areas would be amplified by hydrogen- air explosions. The combination of explosion stresses from different directions could have caused enough structural damage to allow water to leak out of the spent fuel pools atop the containment. Heat from the thermobaric explosion could also have instantly flashed away some of the water in the pools as more steam. It is not likely that the hydrogen explosion did any damage to the core because of the amount of concrete between the service area and the pressure vessel. The service deck would have been a 'reflector' for the force of the thermobaric blast.
Note the massive amount of damage done to the reactor service area. Lazy steam emerges from parts unknown.. One fume is likely from a spent fuel pool one of which is located on the north side of the building. The fireball emerged @ the southeast corner. The core explosion may have blasted from underneath the spent fuel area or through the zone between the spent fuel pool and the core. This area includes a service gate which is removed to allow fuel components to be shifted between the two areas while keeping them underwater at all times.
There is also stacks of concrete plugs both atop the core and around the drywell area which are removed to allow service to the core itself. Any non- monolithic structure would be vulnerable to explosive forces from below as there is nothing to hold them in place besides their weight.
Here is a take on the radiation: ( from Arms Control Wonk, HT Glen):
WHAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE HIGH Cl-38 RADIOACTIVITY IN THE FUKUSHIMA DAIICHI REACTOR #1
F. Dalnoki-Veress
March 28 2011
I have been totally consumed the last few weeks by one thing, day and night, and those are the events unfolding in Japan. I keep on alternating between complete disbelief and acceptance of the gravity of the situation, but mostly disbelief. And I am not the only one. Most of the nuclear physicists and engineers with whom I have spoken since the incident cannot – will not – believe that it is possible that some of the fuel that is melting could somehow produce little pockets that could go critical. I believed them for the longest time until the following came on the Kyodo news website (relevant text italicized below for emphasis) and I did the following analysis.
"Neutron beam observed 13 times at crippled Fukushima nuke plant
TOKYO, March 23, Kyodo
Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Wednesday it has observed a neutron beam, a kind of radioactive ray, 13 times on the premises of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant after it was crippled by the massive March 11 quake-tsunami disaster.
TEPCO, the operator of the nuclear plant, said the neutron beam measured about 1.5 kilometers southwest of the plant's No. 1 and 2 reactors over three days from March 13 and is equivalent to 0.01 to 0.02 microsieverts per hour and that this is not a dangerous level.
The utility firm said it will measure uranium and plutonium, which could emit a neutron beam, as well.
In the 1999 criticality accident at a nuclear fuel processing plant run by JCO Co. in Tokaimura, Ibaraki Prefecture, uranium broke apart continually in nuclear fission, causing a massive amount of neutron beams.
In the latest case at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, such a criticality accident has yet to happen.
But the measured neutron beam may be evidence that uranium and plutonium leaked from the plant's nuclear reactors and spent nuclear fuels have discharged a small amount of neutron beams through nuclear fission."
==Kyodo News, http://english.kyodonews.jp/news/2011/03/80539.html
This entire article is worth reading because Prof. Dalnoki-Veress uses the measurements given @ the plant outflow and calculates whether a meltdown of the core would produce the indicated radiation. His conclusion is that it wouldn't by itself, that there was some other criticality taking place within the core, in his case reactor 1.
With a larger explosion in reactor 3 it is hardly surprising to find more reactivity and and more energetic isotopes hard by the reactors.
This is Meltdown Mania Part Two.
Here is Meltdown Mania Part One.
In Meltdown Mania Part Three, we will take a look at stricken deadboy number 2.

You would think after black women bore their sons for 9 months and many of them raise them the right way, they would be treated like queens by them.

Increase Budgetary Allocation for the PWDVA
Almost two out of five (37%) ever-married women in India have experienced spousal violence. It is prevalent in every State, in all socio-economic and cultural populations.
2. Domestic violence is a severe violation of the most fundamental human rights laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Various studies have also highlighted the economic, health and social consequences of this form of violence; as long as it prevails India cannot claim to be fully developing, or progressing in gaining equality and peace.
3. The cycle of domestic violence is self-sustaining; women whose mothers were beaten by their fathers are twice as likely to experience violence when they marry. Similarly, research has found that men who witness domestic violence as children are more likely to be physically and sexually abusive towards their wives.
4. Domestic violence was recognized as a criminal offence in 1983 in India. The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act became effective in 2005. However, many women are unaware of the Act's existence, too few resources are allocated for infrastructure and adequate numbers of Protection Officers, and a lack of training hinders those in charge of its implementation.
5. The National Commission for Women (NCW) and a committee with representatives from civil society this year finalised a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS), to ensure the effective implementation of PWDVA, estimating an annual budgetary requirement of 1158 crores per year.
6. This CSS is mentioned in the Draft Twelfth Five Year Plan (2012–2017) Document, however only a meager outlay of Rs.450 crores has been proposed for this Scheme. Not only is this amount grossly inadequate and far short of the estimated 1158 crores per year, the XIIth Plan Document is silent on the launch of the scheme in the coming financial year or its budgetary provisions.
7. In this current climate where we are finally seeing mass protests at the lack of protection for women, the overall budget for the Ministry of Women and Child Development has been slashed by 2,000 crores. It is therefore of utmost importance that we show the Government that we demand realistic budgetary allocations for the support and security of women in India.

This is the second palette that I have received to review from NVEY ECO. Click for link to past review.
This is #9 Hidden Pearl Mystique, a 5 Colour Collection: (click on the photos to enlarge)
Hidden Light Precious Pearl Lemoncello Mystique Moss
I wasn't sure that the photo above showed the true colour (as they would spell it in Australia) of Precious Pearl, so I have taken the photo below, to try to capture that. I used that, (and Hidden Light), wet, and this photo reflects that.
Hidden Light Precious Pearl Lemoncello Mystique Moss
Description of each:
Hidden Light: white shimmer
Precious Pearl: cream matte
Lemoncello: golden yellow shimmer
Mystique: neutral taupe shimmer
Moss: olive/golden green shimmer
NVEY ECO swatches:
I used all of the colors in the palette to create this look. I used an eye shadow primer, which I really recommend you use with these shadows.
NVEY ECO Eye Shadows include chamomile and jojoba, and also have antioxidants that are used to create a smooth, soft formula. NVEY ECO writes that this is "excellent for dry and sensitive skin."
Ingredients: Zea Mays Starch (corn starch), Zinc Stearate (plant derived), Ethyl Macadamiate (macadamia-based), Simmondsia Chinensis (jojoba seed oil), Stearic Acid (plant derived), Lauroyl Lysine (plant derived), Benzyl Alcohol (natural preservative), Salicylic Acid (natural preservative), Sorbic Acid (natural preservative), Tocopherol (vitamin e), Ascorbyl Palmitate (vitamin c), Daucus Carota Sativa (carrot seed oil), Chamomilla Recutita (matricaria flower oil), Glycerin (vegetable derived).

Are the eye shadows pigmented? My experience with Hidden Light and Precious Pearl was that I needed to wet my makeup brush a lot before applying these two. I used Hidden Light as a highlighter shade under my brow bone and in the corner of my eyes. Precious Peal was used to blend out the colours as needed. However, the other eye shadows in #9 Hidden Pearl Mystique Palette, were just as NVEY ECO described, having a "depth of colour, ease of application and long wearing ability."

So how many are we atm? 8? Didn't bother counting, heh. Hope you manage the invites soon eso. I started a private town that I played a bit earlier when it worked but I'd like to get to "proper" playing on weekend :)
I am online right at this moment, so if anyone of you are too (on EU West 2) give me a message in-game, and let's try to hook up.
Alright, that's it. No chance for any invites tonight. We'll see if the servers are more cooperative tomorrow. Goodnight.
So apparently they're refusing to give refunds to people who bought through Origin, so I'll try and stick with it.
I'm Fafhrd42 on Origin.
Well, the "join game" search tool is busted for me. Doesn't matter if I change maps or friends, it still gives me the same servers. I also don't have any game invites, but I'm not sure if they haven't been sent out yet or if that's broke too...
Servers seem to be back in health again now, so game invites were sent this morning to the first seven people to give me their Origin IDs or send me friend requests. The region is on Europe West 2, make sure to log on to that server if you want to join. If you still can't see the game invite, send me a message, and I'll see what can be done. Note: I am actually working today, and will only be able to help with this "maintenance" stuff a few times during the day, on breaks. :)
Some ground rules:
- One city per player. There are already at least nine of us interested in region play, some of whom have expressed their interest in other threads.
- Don't be an arsehat.
Yeah, I noticed. Good!
They turned Cheetah off? Teh headache...
Me, I need workers. Also, probably a commuter's train station.
I can't get on West 2 at any time of the day or night. West 4 works for me. Will have to play with you later Eso!
That is truly weird...
What specialities have you gone for with your cities?
I'm doing industry, some mining of coal and ore, trying to make the switch over to cleaner tech but finding the education system a bit opaque. Took me forever to get to build a dept. of Education, required for high schools. Finally got one up, and it turns out My education budget is at like 6000-7000 cash per hour. Then I got hit by a meteor shower. It turned out okay in the end, but looked a bit hairy for a bit.
I'd certainly be interested in joining you fine chaps if there's room, although I'm a complete newb (not had much experience with prior Sim City games either), but well versed with the likes of Settlers and Anno, so I'm hoping to pick things up as I go.
Sent out a friend request to you EsotericReverie.
Hope to play alongside you all soon!
I got the invite but the game wouldn't let me actually claim a spot. I'll try again when I get back from work. As far as specialization, I'm really torn. On the one hand, it's easy money to get coal/ore/oil out of the ground, but on the other hand, those resources are limited so you'd have to switch gears eventually. Seems like it'd be better to do something like tourism or gambling that doesn't have an end point. One thing I'm not sure about is if it is possible to work up to something like a refinery, then import the oil and still make a profit.
From my first game it is clear that education has lots of benefits. Educated sims hurt themselves less, cause fires less and resort to crime less. Plus high tech industry pollutes less, and you need educated sims to run a nuke plant without causing a meltdown. You also need a university to research top level upgrades to some buildings and for the great works.
Speaking of that, should we pick and start working toward our first great work?

Petition for refund exceptions
Exceptions to published refund policy, click here
The Registration and Records Office and the Committee on Fee Assessment and Residence are charged with the responsibility of considering and approving exceptions to the published educational fees refund policy. Any change in assessment can only be adjusted to a rate already established. The deadline for submitting a petition for refund exception is 30 days past the end of the term for which the exception is sought.
Initial petition by a student, click here
- A petition and all pertinent written documentation must be submitted in writing to the Registration and Records Office within 30 days of the end of the term. In cases of incapacitation, exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis.
- Fill out the Refund Petition form
- Minimally, each written petition must be dated and include the student's name, address and phone number, student ID number, signature of the student, statement describing specifically what is being requested and for what term, statement of any extenuating circumstances, why the request should be honored, and supporting documentation of the events described.
- All petitions must be submitted to the Registration and Records Office and must meet one or more of the following criteria to be considered and approved:
- Written documentation of an illness, accident, injury, or situation which could not be influenced, planned for, or prevented by the student and which subsequently caused a change in the class schedule, thus changing the assessment. This provision specifically excludes conditions or chronic illnesses that remain static and are known to the student at the time of registration as well as situations that involve a student's employment.
- Written documentation of substantiated circumstances involving deadlines where a student has in good faith relied on information provided by a named University official, or the official's interpretations of the text of a University document or publication, and was consequently misled or mistaken about its terms.
- In individual cases and when it is in the best interest of the student and the institution, the designated official in the Registration and Records Office may grant an exception that is not stated in the criteria elsewhere.
- Generally, failure to complete a registration transaction via Pathway will not be grounds for consideration of an appeal. Students are ultimately responsible to verify that registration transactions are completed.
- Decisions will only address whether an adjustment of charges will be made. Grade assignments and other academic issues are not within the scope of the procedures and should be addressed to the dean of the school.
- Decisions are rendered by the designated official in the Registration and Records Office and will be based solely upon any and all pertinent written documentation.
- Notification of a decision will be made in writing.
School of Medicine Adjustment of Tuition policy, click here
If a student is unable to complete an entire term of coursework, due to the need for a leave of absence, withdrawal from the Medical School, or separation from the Medical School, he/she may be eligible for adjustment of tuition through the Registration and Records Office. If approved, the tuition adjustment may adversely affect a student's financial aid and loan status. The University may be required to return a portion or all of the federal financial aid a student received which could cause the student to have a balance with the University. Thus, the student should meet with the University financial aid officer and the School of Medicine student finances counselor.
The basis for calculating the amount of tuition adjustment depends upon whether the coursework that the student is pursuing coincides with the University semester schedule or not and the date of his/her withdrawal from that coursework.
- Medical students in coursework that coincides with the normal University semester schedule are eligible to request a tuition adjustment if they are not able to complete that coursework. The reimbursement is prorated according to University policy that applies generally to UMKC students in semester-based courses. See the Cashiers and Collections web page and click on "tuition and fee refunds" and then on "fee refund schedules."
- Medical students who are in coursework that does not coincide with the University semester schedule, such as a six-week course, a month-long course, or the two-month core clinical clerkships, may request a tuition adjustment if they have been enrolled less than 60% of the University semester in which their coursework occurs. The Registration and Records Office at UMKC will review the request for tuition adjustment. The tuition will be prorated at one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual medical student tuition rate for each month of attendance. See the Registration and Records web page and click on "policies and procedures," then on "fees," and finally on "refund exception petition."
Students seeking a tuition adjustment need official documentation from the Medical School's Council on Evaluation that they are on a Medical School leave of absence, have withdrawn from the Medical School program, or have been separated from the Medical School. More specifically,
- Students going on leave of absence need to complete:
- a University leave of absence form available from the Registration and Records web page by clicking on "forms and resources," then "student forms," and finally "leave of absence request," and
- a Medical School petition for leave of absence form available at the Medical School's Council on Evaluation web page by clicking on Council on Evaluation Policy Manual and downloading the Medical School's leave of absence form (in the Appendix).
- Students withdrawing from the School of Medicine must notify the Council of Evaluation in writing of their withdrawal whereupon Council staff will forward a change of status form to the UMKC Registration and Records office for processing.
- When students are separated from the Medical School, Council on Evaluation staff will forward a change of status form to the UMKC Registration and Records office.
Students may appeal a decision rendered on a requested tuition adjustment by writing to the Committee on Fee Assessment and Residence. Such a request, including details and supporting documentation, should be addressed to the Committee on Fee Assessment and Residence, the UMKC Administrative Center, Room 336, 5100 Rockhill Road, Kansas City, MO 64110-2499.
Appeal of the decision rendered by the Registration and Records Office, click here
- Upon written request, a student may appeal the initial decision of the Registration and Records Office.
- Appeals of this decision should be in writing and include as many details as possible.
- Appeals should be addressed to:
Committee on Fee Assessment and Residence
Administrative Center, Room 336
5100 Rockhill Road, Kansas City, MO 64110-2499
- The committee meets monthly and decisions are made according to the committee's meeting schedule.
Refund of tuition and fees in the event of a student death, click here
- When a student dies prior to completing the current academic semester, the designated official in the Registration and Records Office will authorize a full refund of educational fees for the current semester.
- Any refund will be made payable to the administrator or executor of the estate of the deceased student.
- Documentation of student death should be submitted to the Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management main office, room 336 of the Administrative Center, 5115 Oak Street, 816-235-1141.
Students called to active military duty, click here
- Students who are called to active military duty and their activation conflicts with the current academic semester dates will be refunded full educational fees if they completely withdraw from all courses. Adjusted refunds will be given if you are awarded for some courses and not others.
- Students must present a copy of their military orders to the Registration and Records Office.
- Depending on the time of the student's activation, the student is advised to consult with their faculty members in regards to academic issues and grading for completed work.

Docket: 00N-1351 - Food Labeling; Use of the Term "Fresh" for Foods Processed With Alternative Nonthermal Technologies
Comment Number: EC -5
Accepted - Volume 1
Comment Record
Mrs. Deanne Engstrom

Orange Coast Foods, Inc.
Comments for FDA General
1. General Comments
RE: Docket # 00N-1351 Regarding the labeling of products that are labeled FRESH, we are submitting the following public comments and ideas. As a 25 year old small business, in the fresh juice industry, we feel that only foods that have not been chemically altered or stabilized in any way should be allowed to sayFRESH on the label. Any method of extending the shelf life of a product, other than putting it into a bacteria free container, alters the chemistry of the product. It is up to this Board of Food and Drug, if for not any other function, to protect the consumer from fraudulent and misleading labeling. Juices and products that say FRESH even though that product has been treated with new technologies or flash pasteurized or any other method of alteration should say EXACTLY WHAT IT IS, Treated Juice, even just JUICE, but not FRESH juice. Juice that has been freshly squeezed but then afterwards treated, frozen, or has had gas added, or any other method of shelf life extension, and either transported or not, should not be allowed to say FRESH because IT ISN'T FRESH any more, it has been treated and therefore altered. Marketing a product, using a new technology that extends the shelf life of a product and leading the public to believe that it is FRESH, alongside a competing product that is truly 'FRESH' and already on the market, is confusing to the consumer. Most people tend to believe a label. Also, if treated products are labeled fresh in a competitive fresh market this could put smaller business at an economic disadvantage. Sincerely, Deanne Engstrom ORANGE COAST FOODS, INC.

Subject: Re: [htdig] Installation help for newbee
From: Gilles Detillieux (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Date: Thu Aug 31 2000 - 11:58:51 PDT
According to email@example.com:
> I have just installed the binary 'htdig-3.1.5-0glibc2.i386.rpm' on a Cobalt
> Raq3 (Redhat Linux 6)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Cobalt Raq systems are
Intel-based. Don't they have MIPS processors? If your system doesn't
have an Intel x86 or compatible processor, you can't run i386 binary RPMs,
and you'll need to rebuild from the source. See also the FAQ:
> The installation and configuration documentation is UNIX oriented and I am
> confused as to what to do next.
> The file /usr/doc/htdig-3.1.5/CONFIG shows what I presume to be the default
> configuration for this binary installion.
That's correct. It's there, purely as documentation, to show how the
binary was built in the RPM. Changing this file will have no effect,
as it's a compile-time configuration, and not a run-time one.
> I need to modify the cgi and html directories (and then move the appropriate

The CONFIG file is for pre-compiliation configuration, and must be
changed in your main source directory for htdig before you run "make".
Just about all defaults can be changed at run-time in the htdig.conf,
except of course the name of the default configuration file itself, and
for htsearch, the default configuration directory as well. You may also
need to change path names in your HTML files as well, such as search.html
and common/*.html, to reflect the correct URLs for your system.
That may be a non-issue if you end up building from the source tar.gz file
instead, because then you can cofigure it as you wish before compiling.
But if you simply do an "rpm --rebuild" of the source RPM, you'll need
to change the paths after the fact.

Provost Policy Directive: Outside Academic Affiliation for Faculty
Attached please find the final version of the memorandum we have discussed previously clarifying how to interpret the UNLV and NSHE policies concerning Conflict of Interest and Outside Compensated Activity as it pertains to outside academic affiliations.
You will see the memo has been revised based on your feedback, as well as feedback from the Faculty Senate, to provide greater clarity. Also attached is a disclosure and approval form that can be used by any faculty member with an on-going outside academic affiliation or who intends to initiate one on during the spring 2013 semester. After this academic year, we intend to include this information and these questions in the standard Conflict of Interest/ Outside Compensated Activity policy and forms, so this particular form is a one-off for this year only.
A few notes to help you provide guidance to chairs. First, to be clear, this memorandum is not a prohibition on outside activity or outside compensation; the extant NSHE rules remain in effect as before. This memorandum is a clarification of what has been a grey area, whether faculty who are teaching or otherwise identified with another institution on an on-going basis need to disclose that affiliation and seek approval under the extant NSHE rules and UNLV policy. They do.
Second, the primary objective of this memorandum is to encourage conversation between faculty members and chairs, then Deans, and if necessary Provost, to ensure that the effort expended outside UNLV by our full-time faculty (whether tenured, tenure-track, FIRS/visiting, or administrative faculty) is guided by the University's and the faculty member's shared interest in ensuring every faculty members' full participation and engagement in their own professional advancement and success at UNLV.
The standard therefore to use in determining if an on-going, formal outside academic affiliation might pose a conflict of interest is first and foremost, whether or not the activity advances their professional development at UNLV -- as a scholar, teacher and participant in the campus community -- and whether it advances UNLV's interest as a research university.
Using those standards, we are asking for your offices to distribute this memorandum and form to to the chairs and faculty at the start of the fall semester; the memorandum and forms are also available in the Provost's library of forms and procedures.
Memorandum on Outside Academic Affiliation (PDF)
Disclosure and Approval form for outside academic affiliation (.doc)
The form is to be completed only by those faculty who have an on-going academic activity (which must necessary include all work as an instructor of record for another institution); these faculty members should use the form to disclose the activity and seek the approval or recommendation of the chair and dean. We ask you to request that faculty who have such an affiliation to disclose to do so by submitting this form along with the annual work report, which is due to the chair in most units in late January.
Then, we would ask that chairs add their comments, forward those forms to Deans, and Deans add comments and forward those forms to the office of the Vice Provost for Faculty, Policy and Research. We ask that you submit the completed forms for your college in a single envelope, with a list of those forms being submitted, by March 1, 2013 -- at the same time as annual evaluation forms are due.
Although this topic has been widely vetted with deans, chairs and Faculty Senate, there are certainly to be questions so please refer those questions to our office. Since this is a process merely of disclosure and request for approval, it should pose little burden for faculty to err on the side of disclosing an activity, and for chairs to err on the side of offering comments to the Dean in the case of activities that raise concerns for the chair.
Finally in the case of specific hardships that this may pose for individual faculty members or for the institutions with which they have had affiliations in the past, we ask that you bring these to our attention so that we can seek to resolve them. The purpose again is not to punish faculty or create additional work for chairs; it is to enhance our focus on improving the quality of instruction and research at UNLV

Brooke Shields proves she'll be looking fabulous at 40 as she takes the lead role in the West End musical Chicago.
The actress and former model will play femme fatale Roxie Hart in the hit show.
And she will celebrate her 40th birthday during the nine-week run.
The leggy former Calvin Klein girl posed with a smoking gun for the announcement.
Chicago will be her British stage debut and a show spokesman said: "She's going to bring some great pizzazz, sex appeal and excitement to the part of Roxie. Brooke has an amazing star quality - and she looks absolutely fantastic."
Shields follows the likes of Denise Van Outen, Jennifer Ellison and Jill Halfpenny, who have all played the role.
She will appear at the Adelphi Theatre from April 26.
Chicago producers are said to have snapped her up after seeing her in the Broadway musical Wonderful Town last year.
Her previous stage appearances include the New York productions of Cabaret, Exonerated and Grease.
The London run of Chicago marked its seventh anniversary in November.

Paris Hilton is "reflecting on her life and how to make the world better" while behind bars. The hotel heiress's lawyer, Richard A. Hutton, visited her at California's Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood yesterday (04.06.07) after her first night in jail.
As he left the facility, Hutton said: "Her attitude is - I'm going to come in here, I'm going to do my time, get it over with, and I'm going to show the world who I really am. "She's using this time to reflect on her life, to see what she can do to make the world better. "She's doing very well under the circumstances. The staff here have reported that she has been gracious, polite, and thankful for helping her.
The 26-year-old is in solitary confinement in a cell which measures just 12 by eight feet. It has a bunk bed, a toilet, wash basin and two windows - a little one in the door, and one which overlooks other buildings. Hutton insists it is the dangers facing Paris while in prison that have forced the authorities to put her in isolation. He said: "Because of who she is, they had no choice - and believe me, we are more interested in her safety more than anything else - but to place her in administrative segregation. "The one hour of the day she's out, she is allowed to take a shower or talk on the phone. "But my client's reaction to this has been fantastic. I'm very, very proud of her."
Inside sources claim Paris is wearing a short-sleeved, orange jumpsuit. Yesterday (04.06.07) she allegedly still had on the make-up she was wearing the night before at the MTV Movie Awards. Although against prison regulations the socialite has been allowed to keep her hair extensions as staff make exceptions for extensions that are "tightly wound", as hers are. According to gossip website TMZ.com Paris is "not happy, but resigned to getting it done. She's not teary, just very quiet".

Brandi Carlile
A few weeks ago, the whole fam damily (The Mom & Moe, the Sister & Smart-A husband, the Brother & Wife, Spouse and I) went to see Brandi Carlile. This is becoming a tradition of sorts. That same fam damily has seen her before.
If you've been around a couple of years, you might recall that the Rabid had her photo taken with the lovely Brandi Carlile. (Does Brandi like girls? I heard she likes girls. Is that true? Spouse... can she join us?)
Here's that photo again...
What am I holding? A signed t-shirt. And No, you can't have it.
Isn't she cute? Talented too... Do you want to know what's so great about Brandi? She has a cellist in her band. Hooked up to electricity and everything. I'm a sucker for the cello.
Anyway, Brandi (like how we're on a first-name basis) played a bunch from her new album. And wouldn't you know that same album was released today.
Oh! Oh! OH! YES! It's a good one.
There is one song that I cannot get enough of. Thought I'd share.
Touching The Ground (Run Forest Run!)
(Sorry it's live... couldn't find one from the album and I'm not about to break copyright laws by finding a way to publish it here.)

Much has been written on Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) breakout since its recent lows in the $380s. The company has posted its best two weeks of trading since 2009, rising ~20% since its intraday lows of $385 on April 19. Its recently announced $60 billion buyback and 15% dividend increase seem to have put a floor under the stock, and has also driven a measurable improvement in sentiment on the shares. This is starting to be reflected in analysts' comments and ratings. Barclay's lifted its price target the other day to $525 a share from its previous target of $465, as its analyst believes the "Apple narrative is changing and shares could rally above $500 in short order." Barron's also just ranked the company No. 1 on this week's magazine cover out of the strongest 500 firms it ranked for "stellar operating performance." Given that, even after its recent gains, AAPL sells at ~7x forward earnings once net cash is deducted, the stock has further upside.
One thing that might have been missed by many investors, as pundits focus on Apple's recent rise, is the shift in the market to reward large-cap tech stocks over the last month. I think we are at a start of nascent migration out of some of the defensive stocks that led the rally over the last six months, such as utilities (NYSEARCA:XLU) into large-cap tech. This makes sense given the far greater growth prospects of technology shares, as well as their much cheaper valuations. Some even pay utility-type dividends. Here are three large-cap tech stocks that appear to be breaking out and still sport cheap valuations (see chart).
Click to enlarge image.
IAC/InterActiveCorp (IACI): The owner of Match.com, Chemistry.com and myriad other web properties has been on a roll recently. The company posted earnings per share of 83 cents a share earlier in the month, 14 cents a share above consensus. UBS reiterated its "Buy" rating after earnings results and upped its price target to $58 from $55 a share previously. The stock is still cheap at under 11x 2014's projected earnings with a dividend yield of 2%. Analysts expect between 12% and 15% annual revenue growth over the next two fiscal years and the stock sports a minuscule five-year projected PEG (.41).
Intel (NASDAQ:INTC): Despite the decline in PC sales, Intel is holding up quite well rising from $21 to $24 a share over the last month. A good portion of the value story for Intel while investors await more products for mobile is its 3.8%. It has also raised its dividend payouts at over a 13% CAGR over the past five years. Earnings have grown more than 20% CAGR over that time frame as well, although growth has been more erratic than its 9% revenue CAGR over the last half decade. The shares are selling near the bottom of their five-year valuation range based on P/E, P/CF, P/S, and P/B. The company has an A+ rated balance sheet, the stock sports a five-year projected PEG near 1 (1.16), and the shares sell at under 12x 2014's projected earnings -- very reasonable for an equity that yields near 4%.
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT): This is another tech giant that is managing declining PC sales well. The company is rapidly growing its cloud offerings Azure and Office 365, both of which are now beyond a $1 billion annual run rate. For a "dinosaur," analysts still expect 7% to 8% revenue growth over the next two fiscal years, and MSFT has a five-year projected PEG of 1.41. The shares sell for less than 11x forward earnings and yield 2.7%. Most importantly, it has an AAA-rated balance sheet with over $70 billion in cash and short-term marketable securities on its balance sheet. Now that activists have garnered success with a more shareholder-focused capital allocation policy at Apple, I expect Microsoft will face more pressure to take similar measures. I would not be surprised to see substantial increases in Microsoft's dividend and share-repurchase program in the near future.

Because He's Hot! 'Gossip' Guy Chace Crawford Suits Up For GQ's Pop-Up Shop Party (PHOTOS)
Chace Crawford … sorta. The actor hit up GQ at PARK & BOND Holiday Pop-Shop Shop launch party on Wednesday, and was joined by talk show host Nate Berkus and a slew of other style-savvy GQ men. Despite the guy-centric event, Chace was seen on the arm of a female friend.It was a guys' night out for the Gossip Girl guy
The actor was spotted with what looked to be Canadian model Amanda Laine, who was dressed in a super sexy LBD with leopard-print embellishments. The two got cozy next to the coat check, even stopping for pictures. As you may recall, Chace was just seen with Amanda at a hockey game at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, Nov. 29.
Doesn't look like these two are afraid to go public about their romance! The hockey game was a double date with Chace's GG costar Jessica Szohr seen holding hands with her Love Bite costar, British actor Luke Pasqualino.

South Sydney Rabbitohs rugby league team co-owner Peter Holmes ? Court proved he was no bunny in the business world, launching a new sports management, digital media and investment company on Wednesday.
His new venture, The Passionate Group, also announced the acquisition of International Sports Facilities Management, a company providing specialist management services to the sports and leisure industries.
The sum of the acquisition was not disclosed.
"We have identified the sports and related sports media sectors as tremendous growth areas in the Australian economy and indeed the region, following similar rapid growth demonstrated in the US and Europe," Mr Holmes ? Court said.
"Digital media and internet broadcasting are radically reshaping the sporting landscape, creating new opportunities for sports rights holders and providing sports fans with unprecedented access to the sports they love."
The Passionate Group also said it would pursue activities in sports apparel through District Apparel Company, a 50:50 joint venture with actor Russell Crowe - who is a partner with Mr Holmes ? Court in the South Sydney Rabbitohs rugby league team.
The Passionate Group would develop internet broadcasting for sporting organisations through its Sports Club TV.
Mr Holmes ? Court said the Passionate Group was examining other investments within the sports and related digital media sectors.
It recently purchased a 10 per cent stake in internet broadcast technology company Viocorp.

I want to be able to upload and download ISO CD images to/from my Wiki (running on Ubuntu Linux). I have already done the following:
1. Set upload_max_filesize = 700M in /etc/php4/apache2/php.ini 2. Added "iso application/octet-stream" to conf/mime.conf in the Wiki.
Now, while editing some WiKi page, I get the upload popup window, select the desired namespace, pick the .iso file I want to upload, and click the Upload button. There are no complains, everything seems like working as expected.
But after a few seconds, when the operation seems to have finished (I get the cursor back on the Uploads popup window), I note that the file is not there. If I look on the directory data/media/mynamespace/ there is nothing!
I have no problems uploading other files, like images and so on. And I'm running the latest dokuwiki (2006-03-05).
Any suggestions would be appreciated,
Is ".iso" added to your conf/mime.conf file?

text: Hi all, I had to skip dmd 2.057 due to various bugs, so in the hopes that I'll be able to use my codebase with 2.058 I'm testing it early. Due to some fixes with private imports, some code I was previously using no longer works. It looks a little like this: a.d ---- private alias string[string] SS; mixin template Func() { SS someFunc(SS s) { return s; } } ---- b.d ---- import a; mixin Func; ---- Now that private aliases work, this errors as expected (SS shouldn't be visible in b.d). What this does mean however is that I have to do one of: * Type out the type in full in Func (I'm not actually using string[string] in my code, it's a rather longer named type) * Make the alias public so it's available to all modules that import Func. As it's an implementation detail, I'd rather not have it appear in user code, which rules out the latter, and typing out the full type makes a simple declaration use up several lines (or one obscenely long line!) Are there any other options I'm missing? Is there some way to make the alias visible within the mixin but not elsewhere? Thanks, -- Robert http://octarineparrot.com/

The generals vs Suu Kyi - battle resumes
With all signs pointing to the imminent release of Myanmar's democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi, she's likely to find herself living in a gilded cage.
The same generals who have ordered her release, scheduled for as early as today, are unlikely to tolerate any significant public role for the woman they have kept detained on and off for 15 of the past 21 years.
Irrespective of the first national elections in 20 years - held last Sunday - the generals still have constitutional sway.
She remains a potent force in Myanmese politics, but her release will again pit her against junta leader Senior General Than Shwe, who cannot abide even hearing her name.
'Than Shwe is only interested in preserving his own power and must have decided she no longer posed a problem to him after the election last weekend,' said Maung Zarni, a Myanmese researcher at the London School of Economics.
Suu Kyi was sentenced to 18 months' house arrest after a court convicted her in August last year of breaching the terms of her house arrest when American John Yettaw swam uninvited to her lakeside house and briefly stayed there.
Most diplomats in Yangon and analysts agree the primary aim of her current stint under house arrest was to effectively keep her out of the country's current political process.
'Aung San Suu Kyi's extended house arrest was quite obviously designed to coincide with the conclusion of the elections,' said Benjamin Zawacki, a researcher for Amnesty International in Bangkok. 'And all indications are that they achieved the desired results, making her continued detention unnecessary.'
Last time she was released in May 2002 more than a thousand supporters camped outside the headquarters of Suu Kyi's party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), near the Shwedagon Pagoda to greet her. When she toured the country, thousands turned up to hear her speak.
The junta fears the 65-year-old's Nobel Peace Prize laureate's charisma and popularity, US-based Myanmese academic Win Min said. 'It was shortly after the monks [leading the 2007 anti-government demonstrations] paid homage outside Aung San Suu Kyi's houses that the army cracked down. She is also the only one who could also appeal to the ethnic minorities.'
The years of detention have not dimmed her immense popularity or her commitment to bringing democracy to Myanmar.
'The energy is still there. The commitment is still there,' said Andrew Heyn, Britain's ambassador to Myanmar who met Suu Kyi last year during her trial. 'She's well informed, she's committed, and the message I got when I spoke to her - not only by what she said but her body language ...[was]: this is a woman who wants to stay involved.'
Clearly she is going to try to resume her political activities when she finally walks free from her house. She was instrumental in the NLD's decision not re-register as a party, and so it was barred from taking part in the elections. She also urged people to boycott the elections.
Under her instructions the NLD did monitor the polls and have since complained of fraud and manipulation. The party has set up its own committee to investigate fraud allegations, said Win Tin, the 81-year-old elder NLD spokesman who spent more than 19 years in Insein Prison.
Win Tin said Suu Kyi would be actively involved in the fraud investigation and give advice when she was released. This news won't have impressed the top generals, Justin Wintle a biographer of the democracy leader said. 'This will hardly help her cause and I fear an own goal there,' he said. 'But one thing is for sure, she won't be allowed to get on the campaign trail again.'
Most of the party's senior members who congregated at NLD headquarters yesterday are looking forward to being reunited with their inspirational leader and planning the party's future course.
'We will need to discuss many things,' Win Tin said. 'We will also be examining the impact sanctions have had on the people before deciding what the future policy should be.'
The question of sanctions against the regime has divided the international community. The West has imposed strident penalties while Myanmar's neighbours and allies, mostly in Asia, argue that such measures are ineffective.
Suu Kyi promised the junta leader in a letter to him last September that she was prepared to consider helping the Myanmese government to have sanctions against them eased. This would be welcomed by the regime - but it would only come in return for the start of genuine political dialogue involving the pro-democracy movement.
On the eve of her release, Suu Kyi appeared to be again trying to rekindle hopes that once she is released, she and the NLD could be part of a national reconciliation process.
'What we've always said is that dialogue is not a competition,' Suu Kyi told this writer in Yangon more than seven years ago, shortly before she was detained again.
'We don't want a dialogue in order to find out who is the better person, or which is the smarter organisation. We have always said that the only winner, if we settle down to negotiations, the only winner, will be the country.'

Stocks staged a sharp rally on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on Wednesday following an overnight rebound in U.S. equities, with the Nikkei ending above 17,000.
The Nikkei surged 455.02 points, or 2.72 percent, to close at 17,163.92. On Tuesday, it lost 402.01 points.
The Topix finished up 40.47 points, or 2.98 percent, at 1,400.70, after falling 32.40 points the previous day.
The Tokyo market got off to a firmer start after the Dow Jones industrial average turned sharply higher on Tuesday thanks to solid crude oil futures prices in New York.
Export-oriented issues, such as automakers and electronics producers, attracted purchases as investor sentiment improved on the back of stronger-than-expected readings of the U.S. Conference Board's consumer confidence index for January, brisk corporate earnings in the United States and the yen's fall, brokers said.
The market accelerated its upswing by the middle of the morning session, briefly pushing up the Nikkei by more than 530 points.
After being weighed down in the early afternoon session by concern over weaker Shanghai shares, Tokyo stocks drew buybacks and regained upward momentum toward the close, according to brokers.
"The sharp rebound reflected a lack of selling in thin trading" as investors retreated to the sidelines to see the results of the U.S. Federal Reserve's two-day Federal Open Market Committee meeting through Wednesday and the Bank of Japan's Policy Board meeting later this week, an official of a bank-affiliated securities firm said.
"A Fed statement to be issued after the FOMC meeting will be closely watched" amid growing speculation that the U.S. central bank will delay a second interest rate hike after December's increase, said Kenichi Hirano, market analyst at K Asset Co.
"If the Fed statement is too bullish or bearish about the U.S. economy after the recent financial market turbulence, investors will be disappointed," Hirano said.
Rising issues overwhelmed falling ones 1,831 to 78 in the TSE's first section, while 24 issues were unchanged.
Volume grew to 2,257 million shares from Tuesday's 2,157 million shares.
Among automakers, Daihatsu and Toyota surged on news reports that Toyota is considering taking full control of Daihatsu.
Another automaker Suzuki also jumped on a newspaper report that it has started talks with Toyota on a business tie-up, market sources said.
Mobile phone carrier Softbank Group rose sharply after U.S. subsidiary Sprint surged in the U.S. market Tuesday on a smaller net loss for October-December.
Banking groups Mitsubishi UFJ and Mizuho gained ground thanks to buybacks a day after peer Sumitomo Mitsui logged stronger-than-expected earnings.
Higher crude oil prices helped lift oil companies, such as JX Holdings and Inpex.
Also on the plus side were electronics giant Sony, industrial robot producer Fanuc and clothing store chain operator Fast Retailing.
By contrast, electronic parts producer Alps Electric and game maker Nintendo were downbeat.
In index futures trading on the Osaka Exchange, the key March contract on the Nikkei average ended 510 points higher at 17,170.

Director Bob Cillman took the term "Young at Heart" literally and has created a sensational choir of older people who sing classic rock, punk and R&B songs. The chorus sings The Clash, Coldplay, Sonic Youth, Jimi Hendrix and Prince songs, among others.
Cillman says the songs take on new meaning when interpreted and sung by older people. A documentary of the same name follows the group for a few weeks as they go on tour.
The deaths of two chorus members within a week of each other weren't foreseen, but Cillman said the chorus kept singing. And now, singing isn't the only thing the group does. The chorus tours the world with theatrical productions.
Cillman talks with Growing Bolder about the documentary's message and how the chorus shows people age is nothing but a number.

I have a really good Broadcom based PCMCIA card that works great in Debian (after fwcutter, older kernel) but there is a slight issue in BT4.
The card works in BT4 right after the fresh install but it sees only a half or less of APs that the Intel based card inside the laptop can see. This is odd because normally in Debian or Windows this Broadcom card can detect many more APs than any other card I've ever seen.
I know this is vague but I am looking for any ideas on how to fix this.
