Three Minutes to Mindfulness

"Will my credits transfer?" "Will I have to retake intro courses?" "How many credits will count towards my major?"
We're here to help. As the Office of Admissions, our job is to make the transfer process as easy as possible. If you're considering transferring or are graduating with your associate degree and want to get your bachelor's, contact us early and we can give you an unofficial evaluation of the courses you're taking so you'll know whether or not they will transfer to Carlow University! If you're a student at a Pennsylvania community college (such as CCAC) or a Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Center (PA TRAC) participating school, you can see for yourself what courses are equivalent to Carlow courses through PA TRAC or by using the form at the bottom of this page. The Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Center (PA TRAC) is intended as a "one-stop shop" for transfer information related to Pennsylvania's statewide transfer and articulation system and participating colleges and universities such as Carlow University.
Search for your school in the tool below to determine if your credit will transfer to Carlow:
Visit PACollegeTransfer.com (PA TRAC) to create your student account and obtain comprehensive transfer information about transferring to or from participating Pennsylvania colleges and universities such as Carlow. Transfer tool above powered by PACollegeTransfer.com. If you are having trouble using the above transfer tool, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us at 412.578.6059 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
We accept transfer credits granted by an institution which is recognized as an institution of higher education or which is accredited by a regional accrediting association recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, and will make every attempt to utilize the academic credits you've earned. Our credit acceptance decisions are based on course equivalencies, including expected learning outcomes, with those of University curriculum and standards. Prior to being admitted, you may consult with our knowledgeable transfer counseling staff to obtain an unofficial evaluation of how many of your credits earned will transfer to Carlow. Once you're admitted, you will then have an official transfer credit evaluation, which will be completed within three weeks of acceptance.
Generally, credit will be given for courses in which the student has earned a "C" or better. If you transfer to Carlow, you still must meet the University's residency requirement, which is a minimum of 32 credits successfully completed at Carlow University. These 32 credits are over and above any credit earned through the CLEP examination, Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) examinations and challenge procedures. Please note that the acceptance or denial of transfer credit is not determined exclusively on the basis of the accreditation of the sending institution or the mode of delivery, but, rather, will consider course equivalencies, including expected learning outcomes, with those of the receiving institution's curricula and standards (Characteristics of Excellence, Standard 11, MSCHE). More information can be obtained from your counselor. Graduate students, please see our graduate credit transfer information on this page.
Disclaimer: There are core, support, and major requirements to be met. Those will be discussed with your advisor after applying to the University.

I'm trying to learn python scripting to compare two OSIS XML files the size of a book and out put to a third file with the corrected info from both files and formatted with the proper schema.
The problem is I have no idea what any of the syntax means or what they do, I'm thinking it would be easier just to spend 6 months doing it manually, but I would really like to try and learn scripting.
So I'm not sure where to begin, or how to start, I really need a teacher, I have been trying to find someone else's script to use to no avail.
I've tried reading through this Tutorial: http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/index.html but it's like trying to understand Greek.
What else can I do to understand what I'm looking at? instead of begging someone to do it for me.
Thanks in advance

• mortmain •
Pronunciation: mort-mayn • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: 1. Perpetual inalienable ownership of real estate, that is, without rights to sell, give, or otherwise transfer it. 2. The stultifying effect of the past on the present (US usage).
Notes: Today's word is another legalistic term that is slipping out of the law offices. There is little to say about it: it behaves itself, is pronounced pretty much the way it looks, and has few if any derivatives. You may use it as a verb, to mortmain land, which opens the door for a mortmainer. But even this derivative is stretching the word's limits.
In Play: Historically, today's Good Word has been used in connection with land owned by churches, but other institutions also own land in mortmain: "Ty Coone only contributes money to universities for the purchase of real estate to be placed in mortmain." The second meaning of today's word is found only in US dictionaries, though we have included it since it is more widely applicable: "When Spielman assumed the presidency, his first task was to lift the pall of mortmain hanging over the company and introduce a desire for innovation."
Word History: Today's word comes from a Latin phrase meaning "dead hand" from mortuus "dead" + manus "hand". The Latin word manus has had its hand in the manufacture of many words borrowed by English. Manufacture itself, for instance, literally means "hand-making", from the days when all products were made that way. Manuscripts once were written by hand (can you imagine?) and so the word comes from the phrase manu "by hand" + scriptus "written". Finally, manure comes from the same lovely French word that gave us maneuver, to wit, mainouverer a derivative of Latin manuoperare "to work with the hands". We certainly have better ways to maneuver manure these days! (Sara Goldman had a major hand in getting today's Good Word to you; she suggested it.)

Wellington Phoenix pushed their off-field woes to one side with a fighting 1-1 draw against Newcastle Jets on Sunday, but coach Ricki Herbert says they should have done better.
The Jets couldn't quite break a five-year losing hoodoo at Wellington's Westpac Stadium, coming from behind to wrestle a 1-1 draw in a game both teams finished with 10 men.
The Phoenix looked a different team to the outfit that rolled over 7-1 to Sydney FC last week, and worked hard to end a four-match losing streak.
Louis Fenton's first-half goal for Wellington was negated on 72 minutes by Emile Heskey's header from a free kick, given after Tony Lochhead received his second yellow for bringing down second-half sub James Virgili.
Earlier, Jets central defender Sam Gallaway had picked up a second yellow 15 minutes into the second half after fouling Tyler Boyd on the edge of the box.
Herbert said his team, struggling to embed a more attacking brand of football, should have come away with three points.
"It was disappointing - I thought we created a lot tonight, and I thought the momentum was good," he said.
"I thought we were quite efficient, I thought we dealt with things quite a lot better than we have been. We got our nose in front, and we should have gone on and won it.
"I probably think we threw away two points, more than got one."
The Phoenix are still last on the ladder on 17 points, five astray of the fifth-placed Jets, with nine games to go and a top-six finish still possible.
Given Newcastle's dreadful record in Wellington - the last time they won was back in 2007 - coach Gary van Egmond was satisfied to come away with a point.
"It was a call to arms from the Phoenix as far as the club was concerned. They've had a lot of issues, and you knew there was going to be a response from the players today," he said.
"For us to answer that and ensure we got something out of the game was very positive."
Van Egmond was happy with the chances created, especially in the opening 15 minutes, and with the way his team worked to control the game, even when they were down to 10 men.
"I thought we were a little bit slack on allowing them to get the opportunity to score their goal.
"But regarding the playing, and moving, and ensuring we want to keep the ball on the deck, I thought we did quite well."

FAMILIES are the biggest casualties of the Government's austerity plans, with the funding for their public services set to be cut by over £7,000 a year by 2018, a report has said.
The report commissioned by the TUC – which assesses how households and family types will be affected by spending cuts - indicates that families will miss out the most as a result of departmental spending cuts.
Poor households will miss out more than the richest ten per cent of households, with the funding for the public services they use being cut significantly more, the report found.
Bill Adams, TUC Regional Secretary for Yorkshire and the Humber, said: "Working families are the main target of the government's austerity crusade. The funding for public services that families across York, North Yorkshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire rely on every day – from Surestart centres to local police staff and higher education places – are being slashed. These cuts are already making life far harder for parents and their children, and most of the cuts are still to come."
The release of the TUC report coincided with a Government announcement that York will get £1,186,356 to deliver 15 hours a week free early years education for the poorest two-year olds by 2014.
Steps have been made so the poorest 20 per cent (308) two-year-olds will receive the service by September 2013. That is due to rise to the poorest 40 per cent by 2014.
Meanwhile, in Selby, local councillors have celebrated being one of the first town councils in the country to adopt the Joseph Rowntree Foundation recommended living wage as a minimum for all its staff.
Steve Shaw-Wright, leader of the Town Council, which employs 12 staff, said: "I believe that the town council is an example of a good employer. We wanted to adopt the living wage as confirmation of this. It is as much a moral stance as a political one. People should expect to be able live on the wages they earn.
"I would hope that other employers and local authorities follow our lead."

Young, Seager lift Mariners into Wild Card tie
Starter's solid start, lively bats combine to heat up race
SEATTLE -- It's taken much of the season for the Mariners to finally push their record over .500 at Safeco Field, but Kyle Seager and Chris Young have enjoyed the home cooking all along.
Seager belted his 15th home run at Safeco on Tuesday, while Young continued his strong pitching in his home park as Seattle topped Toronto, 6-3, and moved into a tie with the Tigers for the second Wild Card spot in the American League standings.
A large contingent of Blue Jays fans made the trek from Canada and turned Safeco Field into a largely pro-Toronto atmosphere, but the Mariners have one of the best road records in baseball at 31-23 and seemed unfazed by the unusual environment as they improved their home record to 33-32.
"It has a lot to do with the fans," Seager said after the Mariners hiked their record to 7-1 on the homestand. "There's been a lot of excitement in the ballpark. We've been playing hard and giving it our best, but there's been a different buzz, the fans have been louder and it's been a lot of fun playing out there."
With the Tigers losing in Pittsburgh, the Mariners moved into a tie for final playoff berth in the AL at 64-55. Seattle has already clinched the series with one game remaining Wednesday night against the Blue Jays, who dropped to 63-58 by losing for the eighth time in their past 11 games.
Seager has been money at home all season, with 15 of his 18 homers and 51 of his team-leading 73 RBIs coming at Safeco Field. The All-Star third baseman went 2-for-4 to put his home average at .339, compared with .211 on the road.
Young has been equally at home in Safeco, improving to 8-3 with a 2.35 ERA in 13 starts at the Seattle ballpark this year. The 6-foot-10 right-hander allowed two hits and one run in six innings, improving his season totals to 11-6 with a 3.20 ERA.
The 11 wins equal Young's best since an 11-5 season in 2006 with San Diego and the veteran is enjoying every step of his comeback season.
"We've got a great group of guys, a great coaching staff and we believe in one another," said Young. "We play the game the right way, show up every day prepared and go out and give our best effort. When you have a group of guys that believe in one another, special things can happen."
Young seemed in trouble out of the chute with a four-pitch leadoff walk, followed by a ringing RBI double to right-center by Melky Cabrera. But the big right-hander corrected course quickly and retired the next 14 batters before a double by Juan Francisco in the fifth for his only other hit allowed before being replaced by Charlie Furbush in the seventh.
"He shut 'em down pretty good after that," said manager Lloyd McClendon. "I thought he threw extremely well. It was tough taking him out at 95 pitches, but we have to stay with our game plan and our bullpen has been so good. It just made sense to do that."
The Mariners haven't allowed more than three runs in any of their 11 games in August, with that 11-game run setting a club record and tying for the fourth-longest stretch by any AL team since 2000.
"We're putting up historical type of numbers," said McClendon, whose club's 2.97 ERA is on pace to be the first sub-3.00 mark for a season since the World Series champion A's in 1974. "We don't take that lightly. Our guys are good and my hat's off to them. But they've worked their tails off to get there. It doesn't come easy."
Toronto scored twice off reliever Brandon Maurer in the eighth to cut the lead to 5-3 before Joe Beimel got out of that frame. Seattle then pushed across an insurance tally with an unearned run in the bottom of the eighth and Fernando Rodney closed out the ninth for his 34th save.
Designated hitter Kendrys Morales hit his first home run since being acquired by the Mariners on July 24, a solo shot leading off the sixth for a 5-1 lead, and added a double in the eighth. Dustin Ackley had a key two-run single in the fourth and Logan Morrison went 2-for-3 with a double, extending his hitting streak to 13 games, which ties his career best set in 2011 while with the Marlins.
"That game came down to Ackley's big hit right there," said Toronto skipper John Gibbons. "They have a good pitching staff, but we have to score for ours. [J.A.] Happ wasn't bad, but he wasn't good enough. We couldn't solve Young. We couldn't make any adjustments. We came out of the gates, we left that runner on that third, a big second run, that happens. But he basically shut us down the rest of the way and top to bottom they have a pitching staff that's one of the best in baseball."
It all added up to McClendon's 400th career victory and he was rewarded with a beer shower in the clubhouse by a happy group of players who are finding themselves in playoff contention in mid-August.
"Lloyd has done an unbelievable job," said Young. "He's one of the best managers and people I've been around in this game. Certainly to contribute on a big night for him is special. I'm extremely happy for him and hopefully there's a lot more for him to come."
McClendon hopes so as well, declining to get too caught up in No. 400.
"I'll talk to you when I get to 1,000," he said.

England's national selector James Whitaker has declined to elaborate on the end of Kevin Pietersen's international career, citing legal reasons.
Whitaker, appearing as the public face of the selection panel for the first time since replacing Geoff Miller in the post, was the first England and Wales Cricket Board employee to speak since a carefully-worded statement on Tuesday brought the curtain down on Pietersen's international career.
But those who have been calling for a greater transparency about the reasons behind the decision and an elaboration on the "need to rebuild" argument contained in the ECB press release, were left disappointed.
Asked about Pietersen's exile, Whitaker told Sky Sports News: "That is a legal position and at the moment I'm not at liberty to say."
At that point Whitaker's phone appeared to ring and the interview was temporarily suspended before the theme was picked up.
"Unfortunately I'm not in a position to reiterate what reasons there have been," he added.
Whitaker was ostensibly appearing to name England's squads for the World Twenty20 in Bangladesh and the proceeding limited-overs tour of West Indies.
Uncapped pair Moeen Ali and Stephen Parry were part of a 15-man group that will travel for both, while fellow newcomer Harry Gurney will provide cover for the West Indies trip.
While Whitaker was unable to shed much light on the Pietersen issue, he was able to speak positively about the future of the side without him.
Moeen, Parry and Gurney are clearly now part of that, but Whitaker suggested that team philosophy would be just as important as personnel.
"The one-day international team and the England Twenty20 team has played a number of matches over the last 12 months or so without Kevin and, on occasion, performed very well, and I would hope that's the case going forward," he said.
"It's still a surprise going to an ICC competition without one of your leading run-scorers but the players and management are well rehearsed in coping without him.
"What I can say is this is a group of players who can looking forward to re-energising the team going forward with different values, (to) re-evaluate the culture of the team.
"Any team has certain values, sometimes written down, sometimes just forms of communication that good teams adhere to.
"Good teams will carry forward with them and England, over the last four or five years, have shown these good values.
"Over time they can dissipate a little but now is a good time to rewrite those values."
Whitaker also came closer than any of his ECB colleagues have thus far in admitting England's wider cricketing outlook needed to change.
Having enjoyed great success, including moving to number one in the Test rankings, in recent years, the former Leicestershire stalwart accepts the dismal winter in Australia demands a positive reaction.
"I believe it starts with smart work, winning back the country's perception of what the cricket team is about," he said.
"We want to see pride back in our cricket and I believe the players we select will show that to the country.
"I believe we can perform better.
"Sometimes when performances go against us you have to re-evaluate what is going on."

Some Secrets of the Qur'an
A Small Group of Believers can Overcome a Vast Majority of Disbelievers
One of the miracles of God is that believers, despite being in the minority, always vanquish their opponents by the Will of God. This is an important secret that God reveals in many verses and leads disbelievers to be mistaken. As seen in the story of Saul, God has made believers victorious because of their obedience, despite the fact they are small in numbers. God concludes the story of Saul with the following words:
Steadfastness brings great
Yes indeed! But if you are steadfast and have fear of God and they come upon you suddenly, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand angels, clearly identified. (Surah Ali 'Imran: 125)
As stated in the verse above, if God wills, He can make people victorious in imperceptible ways. In one's endeavour to uphold God's religion, for instance, God can provide subtle support to enable the person to make the most inspiring and influential speech and turn the hearts of people who listen toward the religion. Consequently, no one can win a victory or exert an influence on others unless God wills it. The owner of all accomplishments, victories and inspiration is God. What falls to mankind is to follow the commands of God and to observe His limits. In another verse, God informs believers how to achieve great strength:
O Prophet! Spur on the believers to fight. If there are twenty of you who are steadfast, they will overcome two hundred; and if there are a hundred of you, they will overcome a thousand of those who are disbelievers, because they are people who do not understand.
Now God has made it lighter on you, knowing there is weakness in you. If there are a hundred of you who are steadfast, they will overcome two hundred; and if there are a thousand of you, they will overcome two thousand with God's permission. God is with the steadfast. (Surat al-Anfal: 65-66)
As God states in these verses, if believers do not have any weakness in themselves, and are firm in steadfastness and faith, the strength of a single believer can be equivalent to that of 10 men. In this context, the word "strength" holds other connotations other than physical strength. For example, the efforts of a believer to convey the message of religion and to call people to God's way can be equivalent to the efforts of a total of 10 people. Alternatively, the knowledge of a believer can be equivalent to the knowledge of ten people. A good deed a believer performs solely to earn God's pleasure may be equivalent to a deed that 10 people perform together. A single believer can invite as many people as ten disbelievers lead astray to the right path of God and can be a means to the improvement of their faith. A single believer can demolish the disbelief ten disbelievers communicate and replace it with the truth.
This secret that God reveals in the Qur'an is of great importance. This is because, if all Muslims race each other toward the right path, no matter how a small a group it may be, God will make them victorious in every affair they undertake. For example, if there is a whole world of disbelieving people, faithless professors from universities all around the world who lead all the people in every country to disbelief, God renders a small group of Muslims strong, competent and wise enough to show all these people the true path. God gives believers ease in their affairs while making things hard for disbelievers. For this reason, believers who know this secret should never belittle their efforts and say, "Would my efforts be of any help to change the situation?", but rather be assured that any sincere deed done with the sole purpose of pleasing God will be very effective. A piece of sincere writing on the existence of God, a word that calls people to God or an act in compliance with the moral values of the Qur'an may well lead many people to salvation and kindle in them love and fear of God. We need to keep in mind that the laws and cause-effect phenomena that apply to this world are solely what is revealed in the Qur'an by God. Anyone who thinks in accordance with the Qur'an can grasp these secrets in God's creation and, by the Will of God, attain a superior strength and wisdom above and over that any man can attain. God gives true believers the good news that they will overcome disbelievers as long as they are firm in their faith:
Do not give up and do not be downhearted. You shall be uppermost if you are believers. (Surah Ali 'Imran: 139)
As seen in verses, the requisite condition for being victorious and superior both in this life and beyond, is sincere faith. Another secret revealed on this issue in the Qur'an is having faith without ascribing partners to God.

What do you know about size acceptance? This is a topic, not only in the plus community, that pretty much wreaks havoc everywhere. Regardless, of how small, big, tall, or short you are-we should learn to love ourselves and others around us.
Starting today, the Lingerie Loves Your Curves-A Size Acceptance Charity Drive is ready to spread the word of size and self-acceptance. It's a two week "blogathon" event that is based on the much needed philosophy of health at ever size.
Let's fight back against industries that make money from women's lack of self-esteem, and share our stories so that we can help empower women everywhere. Let's celebrate our curves!
You and I both know how the media affects us and how we look at our bodies. Of course, I believe that accepting your body and yourself, starts at very young age. What our youth see portrayed in the media as "beautiful" plays a large part of how they view themselves. I'm no psychologist, but it just makes sense.
Growing up, I was surrounded by healthy curvaceous women, but I was also consumed by those teen magazines. I wanted to look like the girl dating my favorite star. And like a lot of young women, I thought I was fat and not pretty enough. Today, I love my body more than I ever have. Unfortunately, I still have moments when I wish I could lose a few pounds, but then I have to myself why? Is it for health or appearance reasons?
I tell myself that there are no "mistakes" in creation. I'm beautiful inside and out.
Accepting our own bodies and appearance is where it all starts. Once we do that, then the rest will fall into place.
The Lingerie Loves Your Curves-A Size Acceptance Charity is sponsored by About Curves and runs until August 21st. Get involved here.

Remission is the decrease in or disappearance of signs and symptoms in both mental and physical disorders, with possibly a return to normal functioning, in the context of the existence of a chronic condition. By implication is that the improvement is only temporary and the impaired functioning could return. eg her depression is in remission. In this sense their is some nderstanding of the underlying processes leading to the variation in symptoms. This contrasts with the notion of spontaneous remission which implies that these factors are not known.

March 14, 2013
By Mason Nesbitt, TMC Sports Information Intern
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. -- Ryan Shackelford (Murrieta, CA) strikes out, ending a very disappointing game and a very disappointing series for The Master's College.
Shackelford wasn't the only hitless Mustang on January 28; nobody got a hit off Biola pitching that day. The series looked promising after a 2-0 Mustang win on Saturday morning, but ended with losses in the final two games.
"All three were very close games," said Mustang coach Monte Brooks. "We just didn't come through in the clutch. Even the no-hitter, we had so many base runners, we were threatening all day, but we never got a big hit. That was the difference in the games."
But that was 22 games ago.
Since then, The Master's College has lost only two GSAC games en route to a 21-7 overall record and a conference-leading 14-4 mark. TMC can avenge its only no-hitter of the season this weekend in a three-game series against Biola in La Mirada.
Biola will have to deal with a revived Mustang offense. The turning point for TMC's bats may have come on February 8. After losing game one of a three-game series against Concordia, something had to change.
"We had a position players meeting after the first game against Concordia," said Mustang first baseman Spencer Downs (Kelso, WA). "We talked about what we were struggling with as a team and individually. A lot of it was that once we fell behind or struggled to score runs, we'd try harder instead of relaxing. I think a lot of it, too, was us having high expectations for the team and as individuals, and then feeling pressure when we weren't living up to those."
The next day, TMC trailed 4-0 entering the bottom of the sixth inning before rallying to tie and eventually winning game two in 13 innings. Downs scored the winning run on a Brett Piper (Saugus, CA) single.
"I think we started to get some clutch hits in that game," Downs said. "I think that caused a lot of guys to relax and get more comfortable and confident at the plate."
The Mustangs took game three 4-2 later that afternoon and haven't lost a GSAC game since, sweeping Vanguard, Arizona Christian and Westmont-- scoring 5.6 runs per game since February 9, up from 2.6 (not including Simpson, whom TMC outscored 43-1 in three games). Mustang leftfielder Steven Karkenny (Chatsworth, CA) has been key, hitting .479 with six home runs and 22 RBIs in the team's last 13 games.
Biola (16-12, 8-10 GSAC) has gone the opposite direction, losing nine of its last 15 GSAC games and falling six games behind TMC. The Eagles are hitting a GSAC- best .306 as a team and have posted a 3.42 team ERA, but have lost five conference games by one or two runs.
"Biola is a formidable team," Brooks said. "Biola's ace Nick Turner (5-2, 2.89 ERA, 47 SO, 6 BB) is a star and there are a couple of guys in their lineup that can really punish you, so we have to make smart pitches."
Downs thinks the velocity demonstrated by Biola's starting pitchers surprised TMC the first time around. Eagle starters combined to allow two runs in 17.2 innings and struck out 16 Mustangs. TMC's impatience at the plate also played a role in its struggles.
"We beat ourselves last time. We chased pitches out of the zone and gave their pitchers a better opportunity to stay in the game," Brooks said. "This time we need to be patient and disciplined to our zones at the plate. We just need to do what we've been doing and allow our athletic ability to unfold."
The Mustangs will lean on A.J. Work (Boise, ID), James Scott (Canyon Country, CA), and Tyler Elrod (Modesto, CA), who mirrored Biola's starters in the series, limiting Eagle hitters to two earned runs in 17 innings. On the year, TMC has a team ERA of 2.15, which is over a point lower than any other GSAC team and sixth-best in the NAIA.
Friday's game in La Mirada will be the fourth of 12 straight conference road games for the Mustangs and begins TMC's second time playing each GSAC team.
"We are excited for the second round of GSAC games," Brooks said. "The guys are stoked and ready to fire up. Our heart's desire is to honor the Lord with the effort that we put forth."
First pitch on Friday is set for 3:00 PM, and Saturday's doubleheader is scheduled for noon and 3:00 PM.

imponderable (adj): difficult or impossible to assess, without appreciable weight.
The word comes from Latin root "ponderare" which means "to weigh", this word can be split as "im" which means "not" (as in impossible) + "ponderable" which means "able to weighed".
Contextual example:
The engineer remarked "With such less data at hand the situation is imponderable".
"The newly discovered metal composite was imponderable, still had strength five times as that of steel".
Preponderance (N): the state of being greater in number.
Contextual example:
"There has been preponderance of men in the field of National defense till now."
Ponder (V): consider carefully, think.
To ponder means to figuratively weigh something out in order to evaluate it.
Contextual example:
"After pondering over the facts which showed that the ABC soft was not making much profit, the group head decided to close it down and thus quit IT segment entirely".
Equiponderance (N): equality of weight, equipoise.
This word can be split as "aequus" which means "equal" (as in equality, equity, equanimity, equipoise etc) + "ponderare" which as we have seen means "to weigh", thus state of weighing equal is equiponderance.
Ponderous (adj): having great weight; boringly solemn and long winded.
Contextual example:
"His ponderous account of business trip lulled her".

Hamels outdueled by Fernandez as Phils shut out
Lefty gives up just two solo shots; Philly can't figure out Miami rookie
PHILADELPHIA -- Charlie Manuel has had his moments this season, more than he'd like, where he's had to sit there after a game and talk about how his team didn't score many runs. In fact, the Phillies have scored three or fewer 17 times already this season. They were shut out Saturday for the fifth time in their last 18 games.
The manager is a hitting guy and more often than not, his frustration is pretty obvious. Not Saturday, though. Not even though the Phils lost, 2-0, to the last-place Marlins at Citizens Bank Park. Not even though they got just one hit. Not even though Ryan Howard and Chase Utley combined to strike out five times. Not even though they didn't get a runner past first. Not even though they only managed to get six balls out of the infield all night, wasting a terrific start by Cole Hamels.
This time, Manuel just figuratively shrugged and tipped his cap to 20-year-old Marlins right-hander Jose Fernandez.
"[Hamels] was good. He just ran into a better guy," the baseball lifer said philosophically.
Think about that for a minute. Hamels was the Phillies' Opening Day starter. He's in the first season of a six-year, $144 million contract extension. Fernandez is 20 years old, and before this season, hadn't pitched above Class A. Hamels already has 91 big league wins. Fernandez, who needed just 82 pitches to buzz through seven innings, notched his first victory. In his final inning, he threw a 97-mph fastball, according to the stadium radar.
"He was filthy," said shortstop Jimmy Rollins.
Added Hamels: "He's really impressive. He's going to be a really great pitcher for a really long time, because he came up early and he's going to learn how to pitch, if he doesn't already know how to. He's got a power heater, power curveball, pretty good changeup. And he's not afraid. And that's ultimately what separates him. He's not afraid to throw any pitch at any time. He definitely challenges hitters, and that's going to help him out in the long run. He's going to put up pretty good numbers in his career."
Only twice did the Phillies get a runner on against Fernandez. Both times it was Freddy Galvis, who started at third base to give Michael Young a rest. Galvis singled with one out in the first and walked to lead off the seventh.
Fernandez made his second career start against the Phillies on April 13 at Marlins Park and shut them out on two hits through six innings. And he was even sharper this time around.
"Down there, he was challenging with his fastball. He was just a two-pitch pitcher," said left fielder Domonic Brown. "This time he used all his pitches and mixed them up the whole game."
Added Manuel: "He was better. His breaking ball had more bite and he threw strikes."
The Phillies have scored three or fewer runs in four of Hamels' last five starts, including being shut out twice. In that span, he's 1-2 despite a 2.31 ERA, and the Phillies are 1-4 in those games.
"It stinks as a hitter," Brown said. "We're doing our best to score runs for Cole, and then we go out and buy one hit. But that's baseball."
Hamels insisted once again that he won't become frustrated.
"I don't think it's anything I haven't already learned," he said. "I've pitched a few years here in the big leagues and had some instances where I didn't get the runs. You have to keep playing the game, because it can definitely turn around."
Hamels was facing a Marlins lineup that was without slugger Giancarlo Stanton, who is on the disabled list with a strained hamstring. Which only proved once again that, in baseball, you really never know. Marlins right fielder Marcell Ozuna led off the top of the second by hitting Hamels' first pitch into the seats in left-center. Second baseman Chris Valaika followed with a one-out shot in the third.
It was Ozuna's first career home run. It was Valaika's second -- and first since Aug. 27, 2010. Or, to put it another way, they now have as many combined lifetime home runs as Stanton had in his last three games before going on the DL.
There have already been a lot of postgames this year when Manuel has been openly unhappy about the approach his hitters have had at the plate, the lack of production, the stagnant offense.
Saturday night wasn't one of them, even though the Phillies managed just one hit for the first time since 2010, and for just the third time in the 10-year history of Citizens Bank Park.
"This was just a case of a guy who has a lot of talent who was on," the manager said. "He brought his game to the yard. He was really good."
And, really, there was nothing more to say.

STOURPORT care home staff will be dressing as mad as hatters for an Alice in Wonderland-themed tea party.
The Time for a Cuppa event will be held at Ravenhurst Residential Care Home, in Lickhill Road North, to raise funds for Dementia UK on Wednesday from 10.30am to 12.30pm.
The team will be dressing as the weird and wonderful characters of Alice in Wonderland with activities leader Carla Siwicki grinning from ear to ear as the Cheshire Cat and care assistants Terri O'Neil, Nicki Evans and Sammi Brookes as Alice, the White Rabbit and the Queen of Hearts respectively.
Lead carers Natalie Emms and Shirley Evans will also be taking on Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
The home will be decorated with hand-painted vintage cups and saucers, giant pink flamingos and a table packed with cakes and sweet treats.
There will also be fun and games with a giant chess set and an egg and spoon race.
The home's manager David Armstrong said: "The team here love to dress up so we are thrilled to be having fun and raising money for such a fantastic cause at the same time.
"Do come along and join us for a cuppa and cake to support our fundraising efforts."
Time for a Cuppa is Dementia UK's annual fundraising event which raises money for the provision of Admiral nurses, who specialise in dementia care.
Amy Cudmore, community fundraiser at Dementia UK, said: "Admiral nurses provide invaluable support to families to help them in their caring role but more of these specialist dementia nurses are needed.
"Money raised from Time for a Cuppa parties will help Dementia UK to expand and develop more Admiral Nurse services to reach more families affected by dementia across the country."
This event has been funded by the MoneyBox Fund at Sanctuary Group, Sanctuary Care's parent company, who own the care home.

My techie chap (my son!) and I spent yesterday going through the Mad About Genealogy website and tweaking lots of things behind the scenes and this will make the site run faster and smoother. Also we had lots of discussions on what the direction the site should follow, the upshot of this is that I shall be blogging in a slightly different way from now on. I'll still bring you news of the latest releases and events, but I shall also be writing about my personal family history research and also answering readers queries in the main part of the blog.
Hope you enjoy the new blogging
Let's start off with the first query written in by Rosana – here is her query.
Hello Linda,
I have obtained 2nd marriage and death records for my maternal grandfather Robert Smith Lyall (1894 – 1945) for the period he was in India during the British Rule in India which ended 1947.
I only know from my relatives that he was in born in the UK and that his first wife died at Child birth.
Is it possible to find about the period he was in the UK, the place he lived etc? He served in WWI in Iraq before coming to India.
Any info would be highly appreciated.
Firstly a search for Robert Smith Lyall on Ancestry.co.uk shows that he was a member of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, the records show that he was born 27 September 1894 and that he worked in London for 2 years and in Calcutta for 9 years. The records show his education, apprenticeship, and subsequent career. It shows that he was at school in Calcutta and Lahore between 1899 – 1915 so I presume that he was living in India with his parents.
FindMyPast has an entry for him leaving England in 1929
|Mr R S Lyall
|Last UK address
|107 Anerley Road, Anerley S E 20
|Port at which passenger is landing
|Port Service
|37 years
|Country of last permanent residence
|Country of future permanent residence
The website Families in British India Society doesn't come up with any entries for Robert.
I could not identify a birth for Robert in the GRO Birth Index, did the marriage and death certificates give any clues to Roberts parents names? Also do you know which regiment he served in in WW1? There are a number of Robert Lyall's in the army records index so it is difficult to know which one if any are your Robert.
Sorry I haven't been able to help you further, perhaps you would like to let me know if there are any further information on parentage on Robert's certificates.
Kind Regards,

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
We were made to feel very welcome at Casa llaria. Location was great - right in amongst the exciting student area of Bologna - a beautiful and not too touristy city. A great sense of the medieval in Bologna. We could have done with some advice about good places to eat, as we looked around the back streets for a long time before finding a few restaurants as opposed to cafes. A list of suggested restaurants, a simple map showing location would be a great advantage.
A friendly and helpful welcome, the room was very clean and spacious with adequate facilities. Immediate access to city centre and student area location was not a problem. This is a b&b not a hotel. Parking is a problem. Sat-nav use Via de' Castagnoli, not Largo Respighi.
Location was easy walking distance to the train station. The staff was very accommodating. Rooms were clean. Comfortable beds.
It is very central and ideal if you intend to do some shoping as it is just of the main street The raid where it is located is a bit dirty.
We liked the personal touch conveyed by the staff - and the very central address of the hotel
Location was easy walking distance to the train station. The staff was very accommodating. Rooms were clean. Comfortable beds.
Proximity to centre. Premium rate due to exhibition. One would otherwise never pay this rate, for this hotel.
The location was very good We were awaken at 8 am by building works next door, we were never informed of this and when we complained the explanation was that "it was Monday" and also " it was because we chose non smoking rooms". This was unacceptable, and we should have been informed in advance of the expected noises at that time, it is the first time I am awaken in a hotel by buliding works.
The staff were very helpful, Room was basic but clean comfortable and adequate, Breakfast simple but plentiful and the location very central. There is a little renovation required here and there - window frame
It's very convenient location to centro city Bologna. The hotel made a nice base for exploring the city, Internet connection should be included. Wireless signal in my room was weak and I could have connected although I was unwilling to pay extra for it even though the rate was reasonable. I was able to connect gratis via cable in the breakfast room and the staff were very helpful in arranging this. It just wasn't especially convenient.
Great location for shops and eating out Breakfast was poor
nothing - constant building works, very small room - typical single room " stick them in a cupboard" , bed hard, hardly anything in English - good job i know Italian. I certainly would not recommend it.
It is very central and ideal if you intend to do some shoping as it is just of the main street The raid where it is located is a bit dirty.
Ever so central, verrrrry clean and helpful staff especially the male receptionist. Phone in room wasn't working & we badly needed to make a phone call home the very day we arrived.

Etch It Party Cups
These party cups have a wax covered label on each of them, meaning each guest can etch his/her name onto the cup using their fingernail. You don't even need pens! When people know which cup is theirs they usually stick with it all night, which means less waste and less to clean up the next hungover morning. Lots of fun, too!

PICTURES have been released of five medals which were stolen from a house in Worcester before Christmas.
An Africa Star campaign medals, a 1939-1945 Star, a War Medal and a Defence Medal along with a General Service Medal with Palestine Bar for services in Palestine between April 19 1936 and September 3 1939 were stolen from a house in Sherwood Lane, St John's, while the residents were away.
The residents returned home from a weekend away on Monday, December 23 to find their home had been broken into through a rear window. Neighbours said they saw lights in the house during the evening on Friday, December 20, and police said it is likely this is when the burglary took place.
Also stolen were an 18 carat gold wedding ring, an 18 carat engagement ring with three diamonds, a white gold engagement ring with a single diamond, a man's gold engagement ring with a band the shape of a buckle, a collection of antique jewellery and about $500 in cash.
West Mercia Police detective constable Thomas Birchley asked anyone with information to call police on 101 quoting incident number 0210s 231213.
"The homeowners have lost a lot of items of very high sentimental value and I cannot image a worse way to start their Christmas holidays," he said.
"We are releasing images of the medals in the hope that someone has seen these distinctive items for sale in dubious circumstances or have been offered them for sale. If so, please let us know."
Information can also be passed on anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Generic Name: bismuth subsalicylate (BIZ-muth sub-sa-LIS-a-late)
Brand Name: Examples include Kaopectate and Pepto-Bismol
Kaopectate is used for:
Treating heartburn, upset stomach, indigestion, nausea, diarrhea, or symptoms associated with eating or drinking too much. It may be used to decrease the number of bowel movements and make the stool firmer. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Kaopectate is a salicylate. The way that it works is not fully understood. It is thought to limit secretions in the digestive tract, reduce inflammation in the stomach and intestines, and inhibit the growth of certain bacteria and viruses that can cause intestinal tract diseases.
Do NOT use Kaopectate if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Kaopectate
- you have had a severe allergic reaction (eg, severe rash, hives, difficulty breathing, dizziness) to aspirin or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) (eg, ibuprofen, naproxen, celecoxib)
- you have bleeding problems (eg, hemophilia), active bleeding ulcer, black or bloody stools, or Von Willebrand disease
- you are taking another salicylate medicine (eg, aspirin)
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Kaopectate:
Some medical conditions may interact with Kaopectate. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have diabetes, gout, arthritis, fever, mucus in the stool, inflammation of the stomach, Kawasaki syndrome, kidney problems, chickenpox, the flu, or joint problems (in children), or if you are dehydrated
- if you have a history of stroke or a certain type of bulging blood vessel (aneurysm) in the brain
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Kaopectate. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Insulin, methotrexate, or valproic acid because actions and side effects may be increased by Kaopectate
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (eg, lisinopril) or sulfinpyrazone because their effectiveness may be decreased by Kaopectate
- Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin) because the risk of bleeding may be increased by Kaopectate
- Salicylates (eg, aspirin) because the risk of side effects or toxic effects may be increased
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Kaopectate may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use Kaopectate:
Use Kaopectate as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Kaopectate may be taken with or without food.
- Do not take tetracyclines (eg, doxycycline) within 2 hours before or after taking Kaopectate.
- Use Kaopectate exactly as directed on the package, unless instructed differently by your doctor.
- Drinking extra fluids while you are taking Kaopectate is recommended. Check with your doctor for instructions.
- If you miss a dose of Kaopectate and you are taking it regularly, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Kaopectate.
Important safety information:
- If the packaging blister is torn or open, do not use that particular tablet.
- Do not exceed the recommended dose or take Kaopectate for longer than 48 hours without checking with your doctor. If your symptoms do not improve within 48 hours or if they become worse or you develop a fever, check with your doctor.
- Kaopectate may color the tongue or stool gray or black. This is a temporary and harmless effect.
- Do not give Kaopectate to a child or teenager who has chickenpox, the flu, or another viral infection. Use of Kaopectate for treating the symptoms of a viral infection may cause a serious illness called Reye syndrome.
- Use Kaopectate with extreme caution in CHILDREN because they may be more sensitive to its effects.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, discuss with your doctor the benefits and risks of using Kaopectate during pregnancy. Kaopectate is excreted in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking Kaopectate.
Possible side effects of Kaopectate:
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:
Temporary and harmless darkening of the tongue or stool.
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); fever; hearing loss; nausea; ringing in the ears; severe constipation; vomiting.
This is not a complete list of all side effects that may occur. If you have questions about side effects, contact your health care provider. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. To report side effects to the appropriate agency, please read the Guide to Reporting Problems to FDA.
If OVERDOSE is suspected:

Symptoms may include coma; confusion; dehydration; dizziness; new or worsening nausea; ringing in the ears; seizures; unusual bruising or bleeding; vomiting.Proper storage of Kaopectate:
Store Kaopectate at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Keep Kaopectate out of the reach of children and away from pets.

Girls Season 2 Premiere Quotes
Girls Season 2 Premiere: Sad Karaoke and Bisexual Hookups
Last night, as Lena Dunham and her fellow Girls costars were celebrating their two Golden Globe wins — best TV series and best TV actress in a musical or comedy — the second season of the show was premiering on HBO. The funny, smart, and revealing show (in more ways than one), doesn't shy away from controversial sex and relationship topics, so we were happy to see its second season continue to push boundaries. Girls tackled abortion, HPV, and virginity in its first season, and last night we saw Hannah, Marnie, Shoshanna, and, briefly, Jessa, face new challenges in their relationships.
When we meet up with the Girls girls, Hannah is "dating," or rather, sleeping with, a black Republican college student, Sandy — played by Community's Donald Glover. She's also taking care of her post-truck-accident Adam, who doesn't know she's dating someone and kinda-sorta thinks they're still together. To further complicate matters, Hannah's living with and spooning her gay ex, Elijah. Except Elijah turns out to be bisexual, and hooks up with Marnie at the housewarming party he and Hannah throw. To be fair, poor Marnie was a bit emotionally unstable after getting fired and seeing her own ex-boyfriend, Charlie, with his new flame at the party. But the real star of the premiere is Shoshanna, who's trying to stay positive and be confident in her postvirginity state after the deflowerer himself, Ray, dumps her and then also attends the housewarming party from hell. Lastly, we get a quick look at newlyweds Thomas-John and Jessa, who appear to be getting back from their honeymoon. When they grab a taxi, Jessa starts cracking up at the fact that their courtship was so brief she doesn't even know what address to give the cab driver. But alas, they do seem to be blissfully happy (and horny).
We've rounded up the best lines on love, sex, sexual orientation, and more from the Girls season two premiere. Check them out now and tell us in the comments what you thought of the episode!

DAVID Howell endured a frustrating day at the Singapore Open as lightning storms meant he failed to hit a single ball in his second round.
Play was suspended mid-way through the afternoon with close to half the field not even making it out onto the course, and an attempt to resume play at 5.30pm local time was foiled by another storm as play was abandoned.
Howell remains two under par after a good opening round at Sentosa Golf Club, and play was set to resume at 1.30am this morning British time.
Of those that did complete their round yesterday, former monk Chapchai Nirat performed best as he kept his composure to take a share of the lead with Simon Dyson.
The 29-year-old Thai birdied two of the last three holes of his first round for a 65, and it might have been even better had he eagled the par five last, but his two-putt birdie, followed by a level par front nine of his second round, were enough to keep him in a share of the lead.
One of Nirat's three Asian Tour titles came with a record 32 under par total, but the World Number 631 admits struggles with a volatile temperament in the past has held him back – with regular visits to his local temple having helped him to adopt a calmer disposition.
He said: "I used to be very hot-tempered and got frustrated easily, especially at a young age. So my parents sent me to the monastery, and I became a monk for a while. My temper is better now, but I still try to go back to the monastery once in a while."
Dyson was four under par through 13 holes of his second round, with Dane Thomas Björn joined by Italians Francesco Molinari and Matteo Manassero on five under par.
World number one and Race to Dubai leader Rory McIlroy advanced to one under par thanks to a birdie at the 480 yard third during a 15-minute resumption between storms in the afternoon, hitting a superb iron to three feet.
Despite the interruptions, tournament director Jose Maria Zamora is still confident the remaining 72 holes will all be completed.
"At present, our aim is still to complete 72 holes, weather permitting," he said.
"We hope to finish the second round at approximately 3.15pm tomorrow, at which time there will be a re-draw for round three, which will not start before 4pm.
"The third and fourth rounds would then be played with the same draw, which would allow us to finish at approximately 5.15pm on Sunday, provided there are no further delays.
"However, if we do suffer more delays we would then decide, in consultation with the sponsor and promoter, whether to reduce the tournament to 54 holes or complete the fourth round on Monday."

Stanmore kept themselves clear of the relegation zone with a draw at home to Brondesbury in the Middlesex County League Division One on Saturday.
Batting first, the visitors eased their way to 112 for three thanks to Will Vanderspar (53) and Christopher Blake (36).
Important knocks from Thomas Kopelman (25) and Robert Nelson (23) late in the day helped Brondesbury to a total of 196 all out.
Mukesh Butt did the damage with the ball, taking five for 54 for the hosts.
Stanmore started slowly and were at 96 for five before Kunal Mehta (33) and Marc Reingold (26) put on 59 to steady the ship.
Unable to chase down Brondesbury's total, the hosts closed on 151 for five.
Sam Smith finished with figures of two for 38 for the away side.
Bottom-of-the-league Finchley suffered a 137-run thrashing at Teddington, who had Ben Williams' century to thank for a comprehensive win.
Defeat leaves Finchley rooted to the bottom of the first division after the ruthless hosts declared on 273 for three.
Williams hit an unbeaten 107 and opener James Wade scored 60.
In reply, Finchley were removed for just 136, with Francois Haasbroek (36) top-scoring as one of just three batsmen to hit double figures.
David Keightly and Elliot Hannah both finished with three for 23.
In the Saracens Hertfordshire League Premier Division, Potters Bar suffered a 120-run loss at home to table-toppers Welwyn Garden City.
Openers James Hewitt (54) and Louis Champion (88) provided the foundations for a good innings, with the visitors finishing on 250 for four.
Paul McGee was the only bowler to strike, removing two for 32.
The hosts never threatened with the bat, with only Chris Swainland (43) and Ben Taylor (38) offering any resistance en route to 130 all out.
Owais Shah claimed four wickets, conceding just one run, whilst Scott Walter took four for 38.
Old Finchleians' summer of batting woes continued with a five-wicket defeat to West Herts at Southover in the Championship.
The understrength hosts were inserted and despite losing an early wicket, Chetan Depala Snr (15) and Chetan Depala Jnr (38) saw them to 60 without further loss.
That quickly became 61 for four before young Brijesh Pujara (27) and Peter Crowe (24) staged a recovery before a few lusty blows saw the visitors removed for 162.
Old Finchleians bowled tightly and at 127 for five were in with a chance. But after a couple of chances went begging, Lewis and Gurnia saw the visitors home on 163 for five.
Totteridge Millhillians enjoyed a 78-run win at home to Langleybury in the Championship.
Batting first, Totteridge were removed for 182 before bowling their visitors out for just 104.
Old Elizabethans made minimal fuss of winning by eight wickets at Waltham Cross Rosedale.
Inserted into bat, the hosts were dismissed for 125, leaving Old Elizabethans to chase down the target with eight wickets in hand.
In Division Seven, Mill Hill Village kept up their title assault with a nine-wicket home win over Baldock Seconds.
Having opted to bowl first, three early wickets for David Overton (three for 60) had the visitors on the back foot.
Naylor (65) and Cooley (50) battled well but Naz Asif (six for 36) helped remove Baldock for 170.
Asif then smashed his way to an unbeaten 116, providing the platform for the Village to secure a comfortable victory with nine wickets in hand.

SWINDON rider Lee Smart is set to be axed from the Poole Pirates team following his poor start to the season.
The reserve has only managed eight points from five meetings for the Wimborne Road club, including failing to score in two matches.
Smart's poor performance has led to promoter Matt Ford's patience wearing thin, with a switch set to be made as early as tomorrow.
Smart currently sits 19th in the BSPA fast track draft grading list, meaning Pirates must use a rider below him who is eligible for a full-time position.
Ford told the Daily Echo: "I will apply to the BSPA in the next 24 hours and then we will inform the Pirates supporters of the change that's being made.
"We hope the new one-to-seven will be finalised some time today.
"We're going to make a change and it may be that we try something for another month or so until we find what's best for the club in that position."
Despite being close to wielding his axe, Ford admitted he felt a great deal of sympathy for 26-year-old Smart.
"If the fast track system had happened five years ago it would have been so beneficial to Lee because he was really on the verge of making it at that time," said Ford.
"I do believe whoever rides at number seven will find it very hard. There isn't anyone out there that's tearing things up and it will be no different for whoever comes in to replace Lee.
"It hasn't quite worked out for him. He's not racing enough because he's not in the Premier League, he's only in the National League and he's only had one meeting.
"Lee's been chasing from the back because of a lack of meetings. There's been no lack of effort and I wish him all the best and I hope he gets fixed up elsewhere and does himself proud."
