China's rise in power presents new economic, political, and social realities that demand our engagement with Asia's most populous country. To be part of the global conversation, you want a foundation in China's culture and language.
As a Chinese major at Bryant, you will develop advanced Chinese-language proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and a full understanding of Chinese culture through a wide range of authentic texts and meaningful communication and interaction. The concentration prepares you to travel, work, and study in contexts that require knowledge and practice of Chinese language and culture. The minor provides you with an advanced level of language proficiency in Standard Mandarin, and a solid foundation for the development of cultural understanding and communicative competence.
At Bryant, you will find unique opportunities to be involved with China, a country that plays a major role in world affairs. Bryant's U.S.-China Institute and Confucius Institute, for example, forge academic, business, and cultural partnerships between Bryant and higher learning institutions, business enterprises, and governmental offices in China.
Future careers, post-grad opportunities
In addition to having completed Chinese language and culture courses, you will benefit from taking general liberal arts and critical-thinking courses and completing a business minor. With a background in Chinese, career opportunities include a broad range of professional fields. Our graduates are also accepted into prestigious graduate programs and law schools.
Chinese faculty
The faculty members who teach Chinese are dedicated educators and researchers in second-language acquisition, applied linguistics, heritage language learning, and teacher education. They make outstanding contributions in student services, research, and academic publications.
PVD to SHA – dream fulfilled
Adam Francis '03
Regional Vice President of Greater China, Chartis International – the largest subsidiary of American International Group Inc.
"Don't do anything before [AIG] gets a chance to talk to you," Kristian Moor '81, vice president of Chartis, recalls he told Adam Francis '03. Their fortuitous meeting took place when Francis gave a group of AIG executives a tour of the Bryant campus, and impressed his future employers with his grasp of Mandarin, which he had refined during a semester abroad in China. Although Francis already had several job prospects, Moor won him over. "We're going to change your career," he promised. Francis, now living in Shanghai, has realized his dream, overseeing divisions focused on the distribution of consumer insurance products in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and mainland China.
Success on the world stage
Jason Fortin '12
Management consultant, Deloitte (Boston)
During his internship at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Beijing, China, Fortin wrote policy briefs and conducted research for the center's director, tackling weighty topics from nuclear activity in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to the current think tank scene in Mongolia, Singapore, and South Korea.
"I place an extremely high value on my Bryant education," says Fortin, who also interned at the Brookings Institution, a renowned think tank in Washington D.C. and complemented his internship by taking classes at Georgetown University. "It has opened countless doors and provided unparalleled opportunities for me academically, personally, and professionally."
Turning internship into job offer
Margaret Wong '14
Path: International Business (Accounting, Global Supply Chain Management), Chinese
"I've learned how to problem solve. I've learned how to think on my toes," says Margaret Wong '14. In summer 2013, she interned in Houston, TX, with PricewaterhouseCoopers, the largest of the Big Four accounting firms. Wong spent the previous summer in Shanghai, China, where she worked as a supply chain intern for manufacturing company Kohler. One of the main advantages of working at PwC this summer is the possibility of a job offer, not to mention a company paid trip to Disney World. "The treat interns very well…and having a job lined up throughout senior year [is] very important," says Wong.

Seattle Campus
Selected topics of contemporary interest taught by a sociologist active in the field. Topics vary and may be substantive, theoretical, or methodological.
Class Description
In the decades following the Holocaust, the extermination of European Jews, an imperative emerged for thinkers as they sought to respond to the unprecedented evil of the Nazi death camps: not to give Hitler any posthumous victories; never to let it happen again. Nearly sixty years after that event, horrors that we lump together as "genocide" continue to amass, with only the better-known remembered by a single proper name. Cambodia. Biafra. Rwanda. Bosnia. Kosovo. While each of these catastrophes differs from the Holocaust and from one another in their own devastating way, they also share many common features, including violence and murder on an incomprehensible scale; vocabularies to isolate and dehumanize the victims and normalize killing for the perpetrators; and a world which largely shut its eyes to the violence and precipitating factors.
While all of these events are worthy of study in their own right, that shall not be our focus in this course. Instead, we shall take up the limited question of how groups and states have organized responses to mass violence, questioning what it teaches us about the role and power of law, the meaning of justice, and the possibilities for healing and prevention of future occurrences. Starting with the Holocaust, we shall explore early intellectual and political responses to the event, including thinkers confronting the logic of the Nazi death camps and their implications for our understanding of humanity, considerations of German guilt and world complicity, and the limits of law as a vehicle for dispensing justice and reconstructing meaning at the trials at Nuremberg and elsewhere. In subsequent weeks, we will explore responses to genocide and mass violence in the wake of the Holocaust. We shall first consider emerging understandings of human rights and crimes against humanity, the development of the International Criminal Tribunal, and ask whether human rights in general are sufficient to protect women's rights in particular, given the normalization of mass rape in conflicts including Bosnia and Rwanda. We shall then turn to a variety of innovative responses to conflict, including transnational efforts to replace conflict based on national identity with a gendered women's solidarity; the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Africa; and, through comparative analysis, critically explore and assess the many ways in which law has been used in efforts to respond and heal mass violence. In a final section of the course, we shall consider responses by the United States to atrocity, the sociology of denial, and law's relationship to history, representation, and memory.
This is an experimental course that I am very excited to be able to teach, an opportunity for us survey a recent and growing literature. It will not be easy for us to absorb it all in four and one-half short weeks: some of the readings will be difficult theoretically, and many of the readings difficult emotionally. The events we shall be discussing are chilling, horrific, and difficult to confront, but our consistent emphasis will be on the ways in which those who lived them have passed through, attempting to rebuild their lives and reconstruct meaning without forgetting, or repeating, the past.
Students should come to the first class ready to discuss Elie Wiesel's "Night."

Exterior Should have changed its shape. people may confuse whether it is old swift or new one.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very nice, except the dash board, windows size, rear seat should be given 60:40 split to use it for bigger boot.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent performance, fuel economy, gear shift is very very smooth and really appreciable. the safety features should be given to all versions lilke airbags, abs etc...
Ride Quality & Handling Very nice, only bad feeling is about the tyre size. had it been 17" alloy the ride should have been excellent and it will also give the vehicle very good look.
Final Words It should have been an excellent car, had the shape been changed a little bit and tyre size is increased.
Areas of improvement Suspension, interiors, size of the wheels should be 17" alloys, colour choice should be increased, waiting period should be decreased.

Looking for a revision specialist in CA. However, there is a very high chance I will just live with it. In October 2009 I had a hump in my nose removed.

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart Cuddle on Special 'Twilight' Issue Cover of EW (PHOTO)
While fans can expect no-shows from Robert Pattinson and ex Kristen Stewart at this year's Twilight conventions, Twihards can now indulge on a new picture of the pair cuddling and smiling on the cover of Entertainment Weekly.
But it's not what you think.
The photo, which also includes Taylor Lautner, is actually the cover for a special issue dedicated to all things Twilight and the "complete journey" that has led fans to the fifth and final film, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2.
Since news broke of Stewart's cheating scandal with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, the 22-year-old actress has kept a very low profile.
Pattinson, 26, recently wrapped a promotional tour for his new drama Cosmopolis, during which the British heartthrob tried his best to dodge questions about his former leading lady.
Earlier this week, Us Weekly reported that Pattinson is planning to sell the Los Feliz house he once shared with Stewart. Both have moved out of the digs since the cheating scandal.
The 112-page Twilight book, due in stores in October, promises "funny, intimate, often shockingly frank interviews as well as set visits, trivia, book and movie guides, and dozens of now-iconic photographs."
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2 opens in theaters on November 16.
What do you think of the EW cover featuring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart cuddling? Do you think they will cross paths in the weeks leading up to the release of the last Twilight film? Share your thoughts below.

I just got back from the NAIAS a little while ago. I'll put my pictures up on Picasa and post the link tonight or tomorrow. Edit: Ok, here's the link to the Picasa album:
Some things I noticed looking at the new F30:
There is no way to replace the front side reflectors with body color/smoke/clear reflectors because they are behind a sealed fender well and there's no easy way to get to them.
The tray that goes on top of the drink holders in the center console stores in the glovebox in a mesh net on the top of the glove box. There is a velcro strap to hold it in place and to open the mesh net. It's in the shadow in this picture but it was hard to light it.
The front and rear brakes are much better looking than the E90. As an added bonus the brake bleeder vavle is on the front of the brakes and very easy to get to.
The trunk floor of the 328i and 335i are identical with the compartment possibly a little smaller than on the E90 328i and much larger than the E90 335i
There are two bag hooks on either side of the trunk near the hinge. There's also a larger compartment with a mesh net that pulls down flush with the floor if you don't need to use the net. There's a smaller one on the right side that operates the same way. There's also an elastic band on the wheel well hump probably that would probably hold a liter of oil.
The front end is beautiful! The hood line is not distracting and looks fine in person. Same with the headlights extending to the grille. The grille and the whole front end is much more three-dimensional.
The iDrive screen does not look out of place at all, especially when you look at similar three-dimensional designs used by other manufacturers. The area behind the screen isn't as much as a dust collector as I had originally though. A swipe with a feather duster will easily clean behind it.
What is a dust collector is the upward facing screen of the HUD. It was looking pretty bad on the third public day of the show. This will probably have to be cleaned regularly with a microfiber cloth at least as often as you clean your windshield.
Oh, the Estoril Blue II on the 335i with the M Sport Package is gorgeous!
There was lots and lots of interest in this 335i with the M Sport Package. Everybody loved the color. There was also a 335is Convertible in Le Mans Blue to the right of the F30 and everyone loved that too, probably mostly because it was a convertible. It was a very popular for posed pictures. I doubt that most people knew they were looking at two different generations of the 3 Series.

Or, in some cases, maybe past/demoted Rangers vs. past/demoted Devils.
Here's the AP story:
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils are taking their rivalry to another level.
The Devils announced Thursday that the top minor league teams of the franchises will play two games at the Prudential Center this season.
The Lowell Devils will host their AHL Atlantic Division rival, the Hartford Wolf Pack, the Rangers' top affiliate, on Jan. 6 and Feb. 3. Both games are scheduled for 7 p.m.
Lowell season ticket holders will receive information on both games with their season ticket packages, the Devils said. Individual ticket information for both games will be available at the start of the 2009-10 AHL season.

YOUNGSTERS are hoping to reap what they sow after planting wild flowers in a city centre park to attract bees.
There was a buzz around Cripplegate Park as children from the gardening club at Dines Green Community Primary School transformed an old flowerbed into a haven for bees.
Linda Sammonds, after school gardening club co-ordinator, explained that the children had learned that the bee population had been in decline.
"They have found out about it in the classroom and seen it on the news and they know how important bees are for pollination and how important it was to have bees and other insects if you are planting flowers."
Nine pupils in year five and year six chose a special collection of wildflower seeds which were particularly beneficial to insects.
The club have been working alongside Michelle Newell, community engagement officer and park warden, Cripplegate Park keeper Darren Hobbs and horticultural team leader Gary Smith.
At their school on Tudor Way, they have already created a wildflower area and also grow their own fruit and vegetables.
"I have been running the club for seven years and with every group I always think what an amazing bunch of children we have.
"They choose to work through dinner times to keep the weeds out of the flowerbeds or water the flowers so we can concentrate on other activities when we meet up.
"It's great to know they could create an interest in gardening for life or even a career."

st: Creating Dummy variables with names from underlying variables
Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:14:49 -0500
Hi all,
I have been noodling around with this for a bit and although I have found
many posts of how to create dummy variables (e.g.,
, and how to apply values to labels (e.g., labmask), I have not yet found a
way to name variables after the values used to create the dummy variables.
I have a set of 30 or so zipcodes, that I want to create dummy variables
for, and which I would like to name for their respective zipcodes, e.g,
zip_08458, zip_25468, etc...
Take, for example:
set seed 1234
sysuse auto, clear
gen zipcode = 21210+ceil(5*runiform())
tab zipcode, g(zip_)
In this example I have five different zipcodes for which I created five
unique dummy variables. I would like to be able to create or change the
name of the existing dummy variables "zip_1", "zip_2" etc. to include their
respective zip codes. Therefore the names of the dummy variables would
ideally be "zip_21211", "zip_21212", "zip_21213", "zip_21214", and
Any ideas?
Thanks, as always, in advance.

Regional Reviews: New Jersey
No Place to Go: Droll and Relevant Musical Theatre Cabaret
The Marion Huber Black Box Theatre at the Two River Theatre in Red Bank has been transformed into a very comfortable cabaret for the presentation of playwright-songwriter-bandleader-singer Ethan Lipton's No Place to Go. Lipton's first effort at integrating his musical and playwriting skills has resulted in a book musical in the form of a cabaret performance of Lipton and his band. Among the vibrant pleasures on display are Lipton's gentle humanity, off-beat comic sensibility, and unique, contemporary variations on a rather wide range of traditional American music including the classic American Songbook era, jazz and folk.
No Place to Go is an autobiographic musical in which Ethan Lipton is the central character. Although you may doubt me as you read on, everything on stage is totally believable. Well, maybe that leftover sandwich on the conference room table that is sad about being unwanted and left behind is a bit beyond allegoric, but you'll see what I'm getting at.
Ethan has held his civilian job for ten years. His company sells information. His job is to "re-form" that information into language and a style suitable to his company's publication format. It is a "permanent-part time job," which means that "I'm there for most of the work, but few of the benefits." Still, Ethan really likes his job, as we learn from his jaunty "I've Got a Place To Go In The Morning"; he likes the camaraderie of his colleagues, his work, and the opportunity to earn the money that enables him to pursue his art.
One day, Ethan and his co-workers are told that the company is moving out of town, to the planet Mars. Every employee will have the option of relocating, but ...
Given the cabaret styled production, the depth, emotion and realism with which the ensuing tide of events at Ethan's company is recounted is greater than one could ever expect. It also causes the viewer to turn his thoughts empathetically to the pain and setbacks which our depressed economy has brought to so many of our fellow Americans.
Simultaneously, there is a buoyancy and joyous satisfaction that pervades the very soul of No Place to Go. This is in part attributable to Ethan Lipton's quirky music and lyrics. Just a few examples of the song titles will provide a sense of them: "Shitstorm's Comin'," "When I Move in With My Aging Parents" and "Oy!, Oy!'Oy!"
For the most part, Lipton narrates his story and plays the various roles. Thus, No Place to Go might be described as a one man show. But, not so fast. For the members of the Ethan Lipton Orchestra are members of the company. There is something about the humanism and sensibility of Lipton that makes the characters in his story, along with the characters helping him to tell the storyVito Dieterle (Saxophone), Eben Levy (Guitar and Keyboard), and Ian M. Riggs (Upright Bass, Acoustic Guitar), all played by themselves, except for certain performances when Eben Levy is played by Rich Snelland the rest of us, are all part of one family living in a nation with diminished expectations. Which leads to the next reason for the exhilarating nature of No Place to Go. It is the ability of Lipton (the artist) to make us share the upbeat attitude of Ethan, the permanent-part-timer, and believe with certainty that we are surely determined to work longer and harder than we had once thought necessary in order to continue to pursue our dreams.
Director Leigh Silverman has wisely dropped the "encore" of a rousing old Pete Seeger labor rally type song of over half century ago (have no fear, senior citizen labor pioneers and folkies, we still got a WPA tribute song in the vernacular that is a delight). There was nothing wrong with the song itself, but its employment as a cabaret show "encore" vitiated the theatrical impact of the preceding musical play. My only quibble is with the lighting design. Whether blindingly flashing or then plunging the "company" into shadows and darkness, the hyperactive lighting effects suggest a mystifying lack of faith in the material.
No Place to Go was developed and presented at Joe's Pub at the NYSF Public Theatre
For those of us who love Manhattan and would never move away from the shadow of the Empire State Building, there is the further pleasure of Lipton's joyful illumination of our delight in it.
No Place to Go continues performances (Evenings: Wednesdays 7 pm; Thursday - Saturday 8 pm/ Matinees: Wednesdays 1 pm; Saturdays and Sundays 3 pm) through November 4, 2012 at the Two River Theatre Company, Marion Huber Theatre, 21 Bridge Ave., Red Bank 07701; Box Office: 732-345-1400 / online: www.trtc.org.
No Place to Go Written by Ethan Lipton; Music composed by Ethan Lipton, Eben Levy, Ian M. Riggs and Vito Dieterle and Performed by Ethan Lipton and his Orchestra; Directed by Leigh Silverman

5 Reasons to Choose a Laptop Over a Computer Desktop
When it comes time to purchase a new computer, many of us are so used to working on a computer desktop that we don't consider other options. Today, computer notebooks - which were once called laptops - offer a number of advantages over a computer desktop. Here are just five reasons why you should take a second look at notebooks.
Of course, notebooks also make sense for those who are on the go. Students can take laptops to class and to the library, while businesspeople can take them along while traveling. With WiFi so widely available, it even makes sense to have a notebook while on vacation. With the right notebook, it's easy to take photos with your digital camera, upload them, and email them to friends and family before you even get back home. Or you can use it to write a vacation blog and include those pictures from your digital camera.
2. Better Displays
The size and quality of computer notebook displays has improved so dramatically that there's little difference between laptops and a computer desktop. For example, you can get Apple's MacBook with a 13.3-inch LCD widescreen (1280 x 800 pixels), a 15.4-inch LCD widescreen (1440 x 900 pixels) or a 17-inch widescreen (1680 x 1050 pixels). Similarly, the Compaq Presario has a 15.4-inch display.
3. Lighter Weight
Just a few years ago, even the lightest notebook was a pain to lug around. Today, though, laptops are increasingly easy on the back. The MacBook is slightly over an inch thick and the Toshiba Portege weighs in at about four pounds. While that's still heavy compared to come of the new ultralight convertibles (Fujitsu's LifeBook U810 weighs only a pound and half), it's a significant improvement over the old seven-pound laptops.
4. Better Computing and Battery Power
Historically, two drawbacks of notebooks were their limited RAM, limited space on the hard drive, and short battery life. Times have changed, though, and laptops now have as much power under the hood as their computer desktop cousins. The MacBook, for example, has 1GB of memory (configurable up to 4 GB) and a hard drive that's configurable to 250GB. This means that your software will hum right along and you'll be able to zip through programs as quickly and as easily as you do on your desktop. Likewise, batteries in today's notebooks don't heat up and don't conk out.
5. More Features
In older laptops, the computer's size and weight limited the number and types of features available. Today, with smaller processors and other components, there's room to pack more features into notebooks. For example, the MacBook has a DVD player, built-in webcam, built-in wireless capability, two USB ports and a FireWire port, built-in microphone, and audio and digital input/output.
There are so many advantages to owning notebooks that, before you buy your next computer, it's worth your while to take one for a spin.

Pharmacy student-athlete receives national academic honors
Posted on January 9, 2013 in Pharmacy, Students
Campbell University starting placekicker and second-year pharmacy student Sam Eberwein has been named to the FCS Athletics Directors Association Academic All-Star team and the College Sports Journal FCS All-Academic squads.
Eberwein and his teammate Kurt Odom are two of just 54 in the nation (five in the Pioneer Football League) to receive FCS All-Star status. The two join Jordan Cramer (fullback, 2011) as the only other Camels to make the list in the program's five seasons.
Eberwein and Odom's selections to the CSJ FCS All-Academic team are the first in program history.
A senior placekicker, Eberwein was also a semifinalist for the National Football Foundation's Scholar-Athlete Award this season, as well as First Team Academic All-District 3 by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) and First Team Academic All-PFL. Eberwein owned a perfect 4.00 GPA during his undergraduate work, and holds a 3.67 in the pharmacy program. Eberwein was a perfect 21-for-21 on extra point attempts this season and connected on 3-of-9 field goal tries with a long of 41.
A four-time PFL All-Academic selection, Eberwein is president of Campbell's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, a Campbell representative at the Big South's Leadership Conference, a pharmacy and presidential scholar at the University, and a multiple recipient of the Campbell Scholar-Athlete Award, among others, while enrolled in the PharmD/MBA dual degree program.

I have narrowed it down to a slice between two consecutive columns. Observe this behaviour using pycassa:

A two column slice took more than 2s to return. If I request the next 2 column slice:

She's editor-in-chief of an influential online lifestyle magazine that is viewed by millions and has a staff of 80 people, hangs out with Zooey Deshanel and Thom Yorke and has been called the "future of journalism" by Lady Gaga.
And she's just 17.
Tavi Gevinson was already setting the fashion world alight at 11 years old with her fashion blog, Style Rookie, which has now morphed into Rookie, a cutting-edge online and print publication that tackles everything from feminism to fashion.
Teenage girls apparently can't get enough of it.
So does Gevinson, who is visiting Australia from her native Chicago to address fans at the Sydney Opera House, get sick of the focus on her age?
"If I continue to do this sort of thing, I'm looking forward to my age not being such a topic of discussion," she says. "But it doesn't particularly bother me.
''It does seem relevant since my audience for Rookie is teenagers."
Already, she has seen the flipside of fame, with plenty of vicious criticism hurled her way accusing her of everything from having her articles ghost written to just being a novelty.
Now, she says, she avoids the nasty stuff.
"I know where that stuff comes from – it's adult writers mainly and on the internet," she says. "I'm 17 and have had a unique and lucky life. But I'm not saying it's all invalid and they are all just jealous. I'd probably feel funny about seeing a younger person doing the kind of job I do. I get it but I don't really care."
So, with the pressure of running a rapidly expanding media empire does she have time for normal teenage things?
"It would be really ironic and sad and weird if I started this website for teenagers and then I could no longer be a teenager," she says. "I've been able to determine day to day whether I have time to hang out with friends or if I have to go home and work on something. I'm passionate about what I do so when I have to make a bit of a sacrifice it's not a bad one."
It would be really ironic and sad and weird if I started this website for teenagers and then I could no longer be a teenager.
And the concerns of her teenage readers are not so different from what they have always been.
"Relationships and sex and sexuality are universally and perpetually confusing for teenagers," she says.
Feminism is also a hot button topic for Rookie readers.
"I get lots of questions like, 'I want to like this but it's not feminist...' or 'What does it really mean to be a feminist?' It's a mixed bag for sure.
"The most helpful thing I could have heard at 13 was just to keep good people around you ... and surround yourself with things that make you happy and inspire you because it's a very confusing time and there's a lot going on. You just have to do your own thing."

version 1.11 I'm assuming? Is your OPT subnet not within your WAN
subnet? There is a bug in filtered bridging under those
circumstances, in that it uses antispoofing rules on the bridged
interface where it shouldn't.
Best solution is to upgrade to 1.2b9, as that bug was discovered and
fixed several 1.2 versions ago. Or you can put in a static route on
your OPT interface for the public IP subnet on that interface,
pointing to any IP. The route doesn't actually function as a route,
but routes open the antispoofing rules to allow the subnets contained
within them. You don't want or need to disable the default rules.

SYDNEY — A Whitney Pier landmark is now history. The building at the corner of Laurier Street and Victoria Road that once housed the Whitney Pier Athletic Club was demolished by MacDonald Trucking in less than half an hour on Monday morning.
The 100-year-old building had been vacant for a number of years, but Cape Breton music fans will likely shed a tear over the demolition of a club that, under the ownership of the late Fred Tomie, gave Cape Breton musicians one of the few nightspots in the industrial area to play their own music.
Legendary Cape Breton performers like Buddy and the Boys, Sam Moon and Matt Minglewood all had an opportunity to play their original music on Tomie's stage in early stages of their careers.

Vehicle codes and violations? Check. Top 10 causes for traffic collisions and most dangerous intersections in the San Fernando Valley? No problem.
Taking a crash report? Easy.
Thanks to a new effort by LAPD's Valley Traffic Division, cadets graduating from James Monroe High School Police Academy Magnet will already have the basics of being a traffic cop down pat way before they set foot in a real police academy.
Since the school year began in August, a Valley Traffic officer has been teaching one class a week on traffic safety and other information that will come in handy for the future cops.
"It's not only to teach them traffic safety," said Officer Mark Cronin of Valley Traffic. "But those that want to go on and become law enforcement officers will have a natural progression into the field. We can teach them something that will be beneficial not only to them and families, but to society."
The new program is part of the magnet's goal of keeping students on track toward graduation and helping grow their interest in law enforcement careers. Many potential recruits are disqualified from LAPD because they may have slipped up after graduating high school, such as by using drugs or hanging with the wrong crowd, and the program is a reminder for the cadets to stay on the right path, said Grace Fabian, lead teacher at the police academy.
"It really gets the kids excited," Fabian said. "It connects the curriculum to a real-life career choice. It makes them feel valued by LAPD and it's a great learning experience because anytime you can give curriculum with the stories and connect it together, it just gives them motivation to stay excited."
Valley Traffic Division became the magnet's sponsor two years ago, and the relationship had mainly consisted of having barbecues with the cadets, or having the cadets volunteer at the division's annual Valley Car Show.
But this year, officers saw an opportunity to not only attract cadets to their ranks once they graduate from college, but to emphasize the LAPD's belief in community policing and help with career development. The division is also extending internships to several of the cadets.
"It teaches not about being a cop, but about life, how to be successful, how to focus on education, discipline," said Capt. Ivan Minsal, head of Valley Traffic. "If they come to law enforcement, we want them to come to LAPD first.
"But those that want to be doctors, politicians, attorneys, those will all have a solid foundation."
Minsal last week led the entire academy class of about 150 students on a 1.1 mile run near the North Hills campus. The cadets ran in platoon formation, much like recruits do at the LAPD Police Academy, and were escorted by motorcycle and bicycle officers.
"I enjoyed it a lot," said Aaron Lopez, a junior. "It gives us a heads up to what to expect in the LAPD.'
Lopez, who is a sergeant rank at the magnet program, has already decided that he wants to become a Valley Traffic motor officer once he gets his college degree.
"Before, I didn't know the definitions and stuff of pedestrians or jaywalking," said Lopez, 16, of North Hills. "Now, it seems more interesting, because you actually know what people are doing right from wrong."
Cadets are also taught how to observe the scene of a crash, how to determine which party is at fault, and making sure reports are accurate for use in courts.
"It helps me think of what I want to do inside law enforcement, either traffic, a gang unit, or narcotics," said Rosemary Hernandez, a senior and captain of the police academy program at Monroe.
Officers also offer mentoring for cadets who need it. Many of the students come from single-parent homes, Cronin said.
"It gives them structure that they just don't have," Cronin said. "What I'm finding is that there are many who don't have a father figure and just don't have that connection with somebody that they can come up to and ask questions that they wouldn't be able to ask."
Monroe is one of four police academy magnet school programs in L.A., with another at Reseda High School. Although all the programs have a full-time LAPD officer in the classroom, Valley Traffic Division is so far the only one that has sent officers to teach a specific topic and offer mentoring, said Roberta Weintraub, executive director of the L.A. Police Academy Magnet School Program.
The new effort is a boon in light of budget cuts to LAUSD, she said.
"I'm just thrilled about the relationship between the LAPD and LAUSD and their commitment to our kids," Weintraub said. "May this relationship continue forever."

In April 2006, the sharemarket was booming and 11 bankers at ABN Amro's "exotic" team were set on making money.
The billions of value that evaporated during the credit crunch was only a remote threat and they were keen to cash in on complex derivatives being sold to unsophisticated investors. They created synthetic derivatives called constant proportion debt obligations, and convinced ratings agency Standard & Poor's the complex instruments were worthy of a AAA rating. That was all ABN Amro needed to begin marketing the products to the large, gullible market of unsophisticated investors including councils who had tens of millions in surplus funds.
The councils signed up to a product that appeared to be as safe as bonds – if the rating could be believed – and paid out more. Within nine months of the councils buying the products, their value had plummeted and by the time the global financial crisis hit in 2008, the instruments had been all but wiped out.
On Monday, in a landmark judgment the Federal Court laid the blame squarely at the feet of ABN Amro and S&P, as well as the investment manager who sold the securities to the councils, Local Government Financial Services.
Judge Jayne Jagot called the CDPOs "grotesquely complicated" instruments which no competent ratings agency could possibly rate AAA.
She was scathing of the close relationship between the investment bank and a ratings agency which held itself out to be independent.
ABN Amro "sandbagged" and "bulldozed" S&P into getting the rating that it wanted, the judge said, which would allow the products to be sold to the lucrative market of councils. She found LGFS had breached its fiduciary duty to the councils, and said ABN Amro and S&P had both acted in a misleading manner and breached their duty.
But back in 2006, the market was booming and the 11 bankers wanted to make money. At the centre of the deal, was charismatic and charming Mike Drexler.
Based in New York, the senior member of ABN Amro's Structured Credit Marketing Group, was at the forefront of ensuring the instruments were given the required approval from S&P.
He and colleague Juan-Carlos Martorell – both of whom used to work at S&P – were responsible for liaising with the ratings agency. They knew that, to secure a AAA rating, a low volatility in the underlying assumptions was essential. The figure floated by ABN was 15 per cent.
The S&P team were initially thinking more along the lines of 35 per cent.
But both Drexler and Martorell knew a figure that high would foil their plans. They set about, the judge found this week "sandbagging" and "bulldozing" the ratings agency team to ensure the low volatility and corresponding favourable rating were achieved. Throughout May and June they "urged" S&P to adopt a 15 per cent volatility figure, claiming that was the actual historical volatility. S&P eventually agreed.
Drexler, or someone working for him, checked the historical volatility and knew it to be about 28-30 per cent, the judge said, yet he continually told S&P it was below 20. His ingenuity and opportunism in manipulating S&P was clear, the judge said, and Drexler was willing to do whatever it took in order to achieve his ends".
ABN was aware, the judge said, that if S&P cottoned on to what was happening, it could open a whole "can of worms".
According to the judge, the bad behaviour which led to the misleading rating was born within the investment bank. She said the bankers had "knowingly" deceived the team at S&P into believing that 15 per cent might be an appropriate volatility mark.
ABN Amro knew that LGFS wanted to market the instruments to councils in NSW and that in order for councils to invest, it was a "condition precedent" that the products have a AAA rating. Yet, the judge said, ABN Amro knew such a rating was "unreasonable and unjustified."
But S&P failed to make the necessary inquiries and complete the independent steps needed to assign the CDPO such a rating.
By October of 2006, S&P was reevaluating its position. There was discussion about whether they had been played and what implications that might have for S&P's business. One S&P executive based in London, Perry Inglis, told a colleague the rating afforded to the CDPO was "analytical bs at its worst". "I know the how those ratings came about and they had nothing to do with the model!"
On the same day, another S&P employee Elvyn Wong based in New York wrote to Inglis on October 27, 2006. The rating had attracted some adverse publicity and Wong said it was: "Getting the usual headlines from trade rags – some valid concerns but mostly sensationalism as you would expect from these guys."
"Drexler is a smart and charming man. Cian [Chandler] and Sriram [Rajan] [S&P employees] were, I think, sandbagged a little," he said in the email. "The model was a work in progress when Kai and Norbert [former S&P employees] left and Drexler simply bulldozed it through."
In October 2006, the volatility figure was increased by S&P to 25 per cent, still 10 per cent lower than the original figure floated by S&P.
There was no "apparent" reason, the judge said, for the change, "other than the discovery of its own error induced by ABN Amro".
Even after the October discovery, the products were not taken off the market. On October 30, S&P employee Cian Chandler emailled Cole and Martorell that the product no longer appeared to be consistent with a AAA rating. About this time, ABN Amro stopped selling the products with a AAA name and it began to dawn on councils they had not been investing in safe products as they had been told. It was not until April 2007, when a vast amount of the value of the instruments had disappeared, that the AAA rating was changed.

New setback for David Moyes as Robin van Persie is ruled out for month
David Moyes has been dealt another severe blow with Robin van Persie ruled out of action for a month with a thigh strain.
The Manchester United striker will miss at least seven matches after suffering the problem in the 1-0 Champions League win at home to Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday.
Van Persie's season has been dogged by injury but the news that the Dutchman will miss the entire festive period could not have been more poorly timed given United's on-field struggles. The Barclays Premier League champions are ninth in the table, 13 points adrift of Arsenal, the league leaders.
As well as the league game away to Aston Villa on Sunday, Van Persie will miss the Capital One Cup quarter-final against Stoke City at the…

PHILADELPHIA- The Penn baseball team took one of two against Brown on Monday afternoon and kept pace with the rest of the Lou Gehrig Division at 3-1 in Ivy League play after one weekend of conference action. Brown exploded for 10 runs in the fourth inning of Monday's opener on its way to a 12-2 win but Penn rallied from a pair of deficits in Game Two, winning on a Brandon Engelhardt RBI single in the bottom of the eighth inning, 7-5.
Game One - Brown 12, Penn 2
Box Score
Although Penn had great success in the early innings against Yale on Sunday, the offense couldn't get it going facing Brown's Heath Mayo in Monday's opening contest. Connor Cuff was in control early on for the Quakers, striking out the first two hitters he faced, but the Red and Blue missed out on a golden opportunity in the bottom of the second inning when they couldn't score with runners on second and third and only one out.
Brown began to make some noise in the third inning, loading the bases with one away before Cuff locked down, ending the frame with an infield fly and his fourth strikeout of the game. But after Penn again went down in the bottom of the third with Mayo facing the minimum, the floodgates opened for the Quakers. The Bears pounded out seven hits in the top of the fourth and took full advantage of two walks, two hit batters, a pair of wild pitches, a balk and an error as Penn couldn't seem to get out of its own way for that one particular inning. A total of four pitchers saw work in the fourth before Mike Zuppe ended it with a fielder's choice grounder.
Brown added single runs in the fifth and sixth innings to take a 12-0 lead into the bottom of the seventh before the Quakers finally broke through. Ryan Deitrich opened the last at-bat with a seeing eye single and moved into scoring position at second with two outs. Back-to-back doubles from James Mraz and Greg Zebrack put two runs on the board for Penn, giving them at least a shred of offensive momentum heading into the second half of the twinbill.
Game Two - Penn 7, Brown 5
Box Score
Penn equaled its offensive output from the afternoon's first game within the first three batters of Game Two. After Quakers' starter Sam Horn retired Brown in order in the first inning, Engelhardt led off for Penn with a walk and advanced to second on a single from Mraz. With the ever-dangerous Zebrack at the plate, Brown starter Ed Fitzpatrick uncorked a wild pitch to move both runners up to second and third and was then called for a balk, scoring Engelhardt for a 1-0 Penn lead. Zebrack finished his at-bat with a deep fly to center, bringing Mraz home and extending the lead out to 2-0.
Brown grabbed its first lead of the ballgame in the third inning, as three consecutive singles loaded the bases with no out for Graham Tyler, who lofted a ball deep into the left field corner. All three runs would come around to score for a 3-2 lead, though Tyler would be tagged out at third trying to stretch his hit to a triple.
The Quakers stormed back in the bottom of the inning to tie it at 3-3 as Zebrack doubled down the left field line and was quickly cashed in thanks to a Spencer Branigan RBI single to center.
Horn ran into some trouble in the fourth inning as Brown's offense again asserted itself. John Sheridan singled to open the inning but he was gunned down by Austin Bossart trying to steal second. Undeterred, the Bears followed up with three more base hits to load them up, chasing Horn from the game as John Cole turned to Ronnie Glenn to limit the damage. The first man Glenn faced lined a ball back up the middle to stake Brown to a 5-3 lead but the freshman responded with two strikeouts to retire the side and Deitrich cut the lead in half in the bottom of the fourth with a solo blast to left-center, making it 5-4.
Glenn had no trouble as he worked through the seventh inning and Penn squared the contest again in the sixth when Derek Vigoa and Deitrich reached base with no outs. The two advanced into scoring position off a Bossart sacrifice bunt and Vigoa scored after Matt McKinnon fell behind 0-2 but put the ball in play with a chopper to third.
After John Beasley worked a scoreless eighth, the Quakers used one final surge to nab the victory. Vigoa led off with a single and a pair of sacrifice bunts from Deitrich and Kyle Toomey advanced him and Bossart to second and third with two outs. Back at the top of the order, Engelhardt ripped a grounder past the diving second baseman to score both runners, putting Beasley in line for the win.
Dan Gautieri worked a 1-2-3 ninth to earn the save, sandwiching a pair of strikeouts around a 6-3 putout that featured some nimble footwork from Vigoa at short. The senior gloved a grounder headed up the middle, spun 360° and rocketed a throw over to Branigan at first for the second out.
Penn has one game left on the docket before earning a couple days of much-needed rest. The Quakers travel to La Salle tomorrow afternoon at 3 p.m. for a Liberty Bell Classic semifinal matchup, with the winner advancing to Citizens Bank Park on April 17 to meet the survivor of Delaware-St. Joseph's.

Server Maintenance Procedures
The Library Systems Office does server maintenance on Friday evenings, so all Library staff should close all applications and logoff from their machines before leaving work on Friday. In case of more urgent maintenance, staff may recieve e-mail asking to close applications on other days.
Many of the Library's electronic services are hosted on servers that the Library Systems Office (LSO) maintains, for example, file serving (the G: and H: drives), web serving, etc. Periodically, the LSO staff needs to update these servers with "patches", that is, software that fixes problems with the operating system. Often, these patches fixes security holes.
When fixing these server problems, usually one or more of the services on the server (e.g., the web service) needs to be stopped and restarted; sometimes, the entire server needs to be rebooted.
How does this affect me?When a service or an entire server is restarted, anyone who happens to be using the service at that time will see an interuption or a disconnection. For example, if the web service is restarted, no web pages will be served during this restart period. If a staff member is using Microsoft Access to attach to a database on LIBSYSNICK (our SQL Server), then their connection will be severed.
So what do I do?To avoid the possibilty of data loss, be sure to close all your applications that access networked files or data before any of the server or services restarts.
How do I know when a service or server is going to be restarted
The LSO performs server maintenance on Friday evenings after 5:00PM. So, a good procedure is to close all your applications and logout of your machine before leaving work on Friday.
Sometimes a patch is so urgent that the LSO cannot wait and must apply the patch and reboot the server before Friday afternoon. In those cases, the LSO will send out e-mail on the LIBNEWS list serve warning about the service interuption.

This vehicle pays $12, 532 a year in vehicle and road taxes.
Has Elizabeth Warren ever driven behind this truck on her way to a Native American get together? If she had, perhaps she would not say things such as "You built a factory out there. Good for you...you move your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for."
I suspect the factory owner would have an issue with that comment. She moves on to the factory's use of utilities...as if the factory didn't pay for the hook ups and the service. She speaks of the police and fire department's availability as if the factory doesn't pay real estate taxes.
For Elizabeth, the glass isn't half full, it is over on its side. The factory is using its employees. It is using the community. It is using the infrastructure. She fails to acknowledge the jobs created, the schools filled, the taxes paid, the ancillary businesses supporting the factory, the benefits of the created product to the community. Who are people like Elizabeth Warren? Where are their real world experiences?
Scott Brown's recent political advertisement underscores just how much these Warren and Obama 'democrats' are in stark contrast to yesterday's Democrats.

Speaking in Melbourne yesterday, Mr Quinn also called for urgent government action on housing affordability and pledged greater transparency for the remuneration of Stockland executives.
He said Stockland was not in the market for depressed assets but would instead focus on its current round of asset sales as a means of paying down debt and funding a 5 per cent share buyback.
"We are selling assets to basically use the money to repay debt and at the moment to buy back shares because of the depressed share price," he said. The proceeds from the sales would not be used to grow Stockland's residential land bank, Mr Quinn said.
"We bought very well last financial year so we can afford to be very opportunistic for the next two years," he told The Australian Financial Review.
"That puts us in a good capital position as well because our communities business has very strong positive cash flows which we can push towards buying back shares."
In the lead-up to Stockland's annual general meeting later this month, Mr Quinn said the developer was responding to shareholder concerns over executive pay by guaranteeing that employee bonuses would be linked to earnings growth next financial year.
"There's no question that pay last year was very high," he said.
"We had a very good year last year and bonuses were very high to reflect that, but it should not be taken as any kind of benchmark going forward. Our earnings growth this year will have to be significantly higher than our market guidance for us to achieve a proportion of our bonus."
Mr Quinn said he was concerned about the future strength of Sydney's office market given the high level of supply being brought online and signalled no immediate intention to return to apartment development after exiting the sector three years ago.
He said that although Stockland was the largest residential developer in the country, it was unable to sell a specially designed affordable house and land package at more than half of its projects Australia-wide.
"We've had a rapidly increasing population but not a rapidly increasing stock of housing," he said.
"The will is there for groups like us to put the stock on the ground and develop . . . we are jumping through multiple hoops of fire to get a project off the ground."
Speaking at the Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce lunch, Mr Quinn also called for fewer layers of government to help address the nation's housing affordability constraints.
"State governments put the plans in place to deliver the supply and then they leave it to local government to approve it," he said. "In a lot of cases, they actually don't like each other."
Mr Quinn said there was a case for removing one tier of the NSW government – either the upper or lower house – to guarantee "once-in-a-generation" changes to planning policy were enacted.
Stockland will hold its annual general meeting on October 25.

Gifts from Nature
Spirit Guidance from Grains
You drew the card GRAINS from the
free card readings page
or you have been led to this page by a search on pertinent keywords. Either way, perhaps the message of the GRAINS card will be helpful.
Typically, this card may appear when you are feeling truly stuck, as if facing a situation that is bigger than your ability to cope with or find a solution to it.
Someone, somewhere, wisely said that not making a choice is still a choice. In other words, we can't avoid making choices in life. Even at those times when it feels there really is no good choice, we must choose. Sometimes, it's an illusion that there is no good choice. We can't see thru that illusion because of our programming, our past, or our belief systems in the moment. Perhaps the message of Grains today will allow you to see past any illusion you may have about who is in control of your life choices.
The drawing of this card is Spirit Guidance asking you to look at anything in your life right now that you deem to be insurmountable and to challenge your own assumptions about that. In particular, if you have been beating yourself up over some situation that has now manifested, thinking that doing something different would have changed it, you are being asked to let that argument within you go for now.
Trust that the work you have done in the past was useful for where you were at the time and, in some way, has helped move you closer to your goals. Assume this, regardless of how it looks to you now because the Grains card says you are being overly hard on yourself and it's counter-productive.
The main message of grains is to trust your versatility. There is a pioneering Spirit within you that can only emerge when you have embraced versatile thinking. Grains are one of the most versatile food groups we have. They can be used in a wide range of ways, to nourish us. Reminding yourself of your innate versatility and embracing flexible thinking will help open the floodgates of potential solutions. Then, you will not be casting about for a solution but choosing from the solutions that present themselves. Assume they are there already. It's an odd paradox of spiritual manifestation that you see it when you believe it.
Think of how many grains of wheat it takes to create a loaf of bread. Which grain is unimportant to the whole?
