In situations where flow rates are expected to vary widely, the use of a compound weir may be an appropriate solution. A compound weir commonly consists of two stages, a rectangular notch with a 90º V-notch cut into the center of the crest, but it does not exclusively have to be so. V-notch, rectangular, and Cipoletti weirs have all been used in a variety of sizes, combinations, and number of stages.
A drawback to the use of the standard two-stage compound weir is when the discharge begins to exceed the capacity of the V-notch. Here thin sheets of water begin to pass over the horizontal crest of the rectangular notch in an irregular fashion – causing a discontinuity in the discharge curve.
To minimize the impact, the traditional approach has been to tailor the size and angle of the V-notch so that the zone of transition occurs where the discharge measurements will be of minimum importance.
Another approach to minimizing the discontinuity is to use a different compound geometry. Piratheepan et al have investigated double V-notch compounded weirs where lower a V-notch is cut into the center of the crest of an upper V-notch. Lower notch angles investigated were 60º and 90º. Upper notch angles were 90º, 120º, and 150º. The goal of the double V-notch investigation was to minimize the discontinuity experienced in the more common rectangular notch with V-notch.
Limited laboratory testing by Villemonte with 1-foot deep 90º V-notches cut into 2, 4, and 6-foot rectangular notches has resulted in the development of an equation for the combination investigated of:
Overall, the discharge over compound weirs has not been fully investigated either in the laboratory or the field. To ensure accurate flow measurement, therefore, compound weirs should be calibrated in the laboratory or field if the configuration has not been previously investigated.

Why We Need To Increase Insurance Coverage For Private Psychological Care
Increasing insurance benefits increases access to private care, which has become a necessity in Canada. Those wanting psychological treatments must either choose between public care (ex: psychologist in a hospital) or private care (ex: psychologist in private practice). Unfortunately, there tend to be unreasonable wait lists for access to public care (typically one year or longer).

Featured Project - Palatine High School Kitchen
The remodeling of the Palatine High School Kitchen required new walls to be constructed in areas where food was to be prepared and served. Extensive use of Structural Glazed Facing Tile (SGFT) was the answer. Structural Glazed Facing Tile was chosen as it provided strength, fire safety, durability and a wide option of colors and shapes. Use of the 8�� x 16�� SGFT allowed horizontal and vertical rebar to be installed in the walls for strength. The durability of the ceramic finish was also an important design decision.... View project

Someone to keep her company.
I'm on the train right now with a bunch of rowdy, drunk Yankees fans. They don't seem overly happy so I'm guessing the Yanks are losers.
I just came from having dinner with some girlfriends. A Swan doesn't have many girl friends because ::whisper:: Swan gets along better with guys. The typical girl is just too much drama and girl stuff. Swan is a loner at heart but has lots of friends and many acquaintances. None on this train though.
Did you have a good dinner?
I didn't eat what I wanted. Went to a Japanese restaurant and the girls wanted to share a roll so we got spicy tuna, crunchy spicy salmon and ack! California roll. Not my choices. No one wanted the Unagi. For my entree, I had a salmon teriyaki. Blergh. I was paralyzed by too much choice on the menu so I chose a crap dish under the pressure. It happens. If I could eat by popping a pill, I would do it.
This woman in the seat in front of me just farted.
It stinks.
Oh my Gods. Halp!

Arriving about midight and trains won't be running. There are so many choices, including taxi, but thought maybe someone would know the best value. We plan to stay somewhere downtown.
Report Abuse
Stay 1 night at one of the motels along Sandy Blvd. that have shuttle service. Check out and get downtown in the morning. For a nicer place try the Embassy Suites which is near the light rail tracks just outside the airport entrance.
Report Abuse
I would stay in downtown Portland (NOT out on Sandy!!!) and take a taxi. There are shuttles, and I have taken a few (live here), but have not been impressed with any that I have used.
Report Abuse
Thanks tomfuller and mms. I can see advantages both ways. I still have a couple of weeks, but getting excited about finally exploring Portland and the gorge area.
Report Abuse
If you are going to the gorge including Multnomah Falls, stay in Sandy and pick up the rental car in the morning at the airport. The Embassy Suites next to the airport is as good as anything you will find in Portland. Why pay big bucks to stay in a beautiful room downtown if you are going to get there about 1-2AM?
The airport area has easy access to I-84 east to the falls and Hood River. The easy access to Mulnomah Falls is from the parking area in the median of I-84 (left exit).
If the weather is nice I like Rt. 35 south from Hood River on the east side of Mt. Hood. Catch US 26 back into Portland for your second night.
Report Abuse
Don't stay 'in' Sandy, which is a town about an hour away from Portland, stay 'on' Sandy Blvd. Otherwise I agree with the Embassy Suites idea. Hotels in downtown will be more expensive and who cares where you stay when it is the middle of the night?
Depending on how much time you have in the Gorge, you may want to eat at Tad's Chicken and Dumplings on the Sandy River. Simply take I-84 east and then the first exit after you cross the Sandy River (I think it is signed Oxbow State Park). Tad's is just a couple of miles up the road, it opens at 5 or 5:30, and on Thursday they have fresh razor clams. Other nights they have other delicious food.
This is the exit you take if you want to visit the Vista House on your trip east up the Gorge.
Taking the I-84 exit at Bridal Veil gets you on the old CG Hwy (with easy access to lots of waterfalls). For short falls hikes, I suggest the very popular hike to the top of Multnomah Falls. You can also hike up Wahkeenah Falls. If you hike from the Horsetail Falls trailhead, you can visit Triple Falls which is one of my favorites. And if the water level is low enough, climb over the log jam at Oneota Creek to see the gorgeous pool about a 1/4 mile back (this involves walking in the creek itself which is cold but worth it on a hot day).
In Troutdale is McMenamins Edgefield, in my opinion it is one of the best places to drink good beer and wine in that area. Such lovely grounds too.
If you take the loop road around Mt Hood, be sure to have some huckleberry pie at Government Camp.
Report Abuse
Living here, I would stay IN Sandy before I would ever consider staying ON Sandy, FWIW.
That said, I agree with all the rest of what yodababe posted Huckleberry Inn in Government Camp is the goto place for fresh huckleberry milkshakes.
Report Abuse
LOL at what mms said. I was born in Portland and lived there until I was 31, my entire family still lives there, so I have never actually had to look for lodgings around the airport. I guess if you are close to the airport it is fine but I agree, Sandy Blvd is rather ghetto
Yes! Huckleberry Inn has the shakes and pies but their coffee sucks. You have been warned.
Hope you have a great time, I will be back for 2 weeks in August and can't wait. You'd think living in Bavaria would spoil me, but the PNW did that long ago.
Report Abuse
yodababe--LOL, yes their coffee is definitely not good. The rest makes up for it, especially since you can go in after backpacking for days and noone will give you a second look
Report Abuse
I have gone in there after time in the wilderness too, they are very forgiving LOL. But the Mt Hood Inn/microbrewery isn't in Govt Camp anymore, is it? I was in the Mazamas and we would get beer-battered onion rings there after we climbed Mt Hood. DELICIOUS.
Report Abuse
Great info--huckleberry shakes? Yowsa. Tad's sounds good, too. I love getting these kind of local tips that you just won't find in a guidebook. Thanks also for the hiking suggestions. I also read something about a boat ride in the gorge that was "not to be missed."
To clarify-- our first three nights are in Portland, where I want to stay downtown and explore. Then we will rent a car and head to the gorge area. We actually have three nights at Edgefield-- thanks for the suggestion, mms.
We have two more nights back in Portland before flying out.
I am hoping to win bids on Priceline hotels, but I guess I should go ahead now and book some backups in case that fails.
Any other comments or suggestions?
Report Abuse
yodababe--Yes, the Mt Hood Inn is still there with the brewery across the parking lot. We are Mazamas members too DH and DS climb and HI is always a stop after a climb.
Jayne--I think your plan sounds good
Report Abuse
I've stayed at several of the PDX airport hotels, mainly because they are nice basic hotels and they are so easy if you arrive really late at night. It makes even more sense if you'd be picking up a car in the morning.
A taxi will run about $50 (with tip)into NW Portland, so you'll have to decide between the costs of the hotels and between a 4 minute ride to an airport hotel vs about 25 minutes into town. I don't mind moving after just one night, so for me its an easy choice; You may feel differently..
Report Abuse
Mcmenamins haas a couple of hotels in Portland, we stayed at the Crystal Hotel and would love to stay at Kennedy School sometime. The Crystal Hotel is less than 2 blocks away from Powell's Books and has guest parking, that will save you a bundle if you are there for 3 nights. I am a light sleeper and the hotel was nice and quiet, rooms not as large as Edgefield but a totally different experience.
Kennedy School is in NE Portland and so there is a different vibe than downtown. I have never stayed there, but have heard good things about it.
If you go to Tad's be sure to make reservations, ask to be seated by the river. The windows on the back of the restaurant open on the water, it is like you are seated on the patio but you are still inside. Best ambience ever! I like the razor clams, but the chicken and dumplings is excellent too. Large portions as well, you can easily split the chicken and dumplings. Save room for dessert!
If you are based in Edgefield for your thee days on the Gorge, I would def do the Mt Hood loop, I-84 to Hood River and then Hwy 35 across to 26. It is a beautiful drive. You can check out Timberline Lodge while you are in Govt Camp too. After you hit Hwy 26 going back towards Portland, there is a kitchy restaurant just outside of Sandy called Calamity Jane's, they have a burger menu that is pretty fantastic.
If you want to get up close and personal with a glacier, head to Cooper Spur on Hwy 35 out of Hood River. Park at the end of the road to Cooper Spur and take the trail up to points overlooking a glacial moraine. You can do this as part of a day drive around Mt Hood if you start early, but it will make for a long day (give 2-3 hours for the extra driving and hiking time at Cooper Spur).
You can also go up all the way to The Dalles and cross over to Washington to visit Maryhill Museum (they have a great collection of Rodin's works there) and a mini Stonehenge, but that is a day trip within itself.
Finally, you might consider taking a day to drive to Mt St Helens if you have not been there before. It is pretty cool.
In Portland, the place for city photographs is the Rose Gardens. I also recommend the Japanese Garden, the price of entrance is completely worth it.
mms, I miss the Mazamas! I used to teach in the Basic Climbing Program, good times.
Report Abuse
I would get a hotel by the airport and use the hotel shuttle just make sure it runs that late. save the cost of going downtown.
Report Abuse
Once again, I agree with yodababe.
The Kennedy School is a great place to stay. I really like all the McMenamins properties though as they are so unique and all have a great feel to them. BTW, many of their rooms (not all though) have shared baths in the hall and we have never had an issue with that. Always spotlessly clean and never had to wait for another person, for some reason.
yodababe--When DS wanted to start climbing we made him that take that class instead of relying just on what DH had taught him. He was in high school at the time and it was so nice that all the adults really looked out for him. DH did his class with the Mountaineers.
Report Abuse
The more I think on it, the better that first night at the airport area sounds. Just simpler, probably. i wonder if most hotels in that area have shuttles. I would like to priceline bid it but then you don't know what you are getting and whether they have shuttle service. We really don't want to rent the car until we head for Edgefield in a couple of days.
Kennedy School and Crystal Hotel are booked for the dates we would need. We need wherever we stay to be good access to transportation to the airport.
Report Abuse
The Ramada Portland Airport has a complimentary shuttle and free wired and wireless internet access.
I use Expedia instead of Priceline so I know which hotel I'm getting. The Ramada is on 82nd Avenue instead of Sandy Blvd.
You can take the shuttle back to the airport in the morning to pick up your rental car.
Report Abuse
Check out this website for Portland Hotels
Will give you an idea of what is available at the airport- most offer a continental breakfast for 2 and a coupon book for Portland, shopping, dining etc
Report Abuse
Thanks so much for all the info and guidance, everyone. I finally chose Quality Inn at the airport for the first night, at $74, which includes 24-hour airport shuttle and free breakfast. Now I am booking some backups downtown in case I have an epic Priceline fail!
I will be taking all your good advice with me to the great northwest!
Report Abuse
That is a great resource, sunbum. I will be combing over it this weekend...
Report Abuse
If the breakfast looks disappointing, try Elmer's in Mall 205.
Report Abuse
I would not go clear to Elmer's at Mall 205 for breakfast. There are multiple chain restaurants at Cascade Station (the area on Airport Way) which IS the place to stay if you want to be close to the airport.
The one place I would visit on Sandy Boulevard is the German Bakery--apple strudel is great, as well as the rye bread.
Report Abuse
Thanks for the tips, tomfuller and 5alive. So much food, so little time!
Report Abuse
Off topic, but should we bring jackets? We will be there late June through July 5.
Report Abuse
Oh yes bring a light jacket or long sleeved T shirt- it can get pretty cool at night
Report Abuse
Absolutely. Lightweight, rain repellant.
Report Abuse
Thanks, sundum and 5alive. Packing light, so just wanted to make sure it was necessary.

SAGE Working Group on Vaccination in Humanitarian Emergencies (June 2011 to January 2014)
Terms of Reference
Develop a framework for public health decision-making for vaccination in humanitarian emergencies, to be reviewed by SAGE in April 2012.
The specific question that needs to be addressed:
What key scientific, ethical, economic, public health, operational and political criteria should be part of a decision-making framework to guide the use of vaccines in emergencies?
The approach to address this question may include:
Reviewing experiences with vaccination in humanitarian emergencies, compile the available data, identify the information gaps, guide the work required to address the information and action gaps, and prepare for a SAGE review of the general guidance on vaccination in humanitarian emergencies.
Specific issues to review in support of this approach would be:
- Defining the scope of humanitarian emergencies;
- Review of vaccination experiences in humanitarian emergencies with particular focus over the last 10 years and with respect to the political, ethical, public health/scientific, operational and economic aspects:
- Vaccine preventable disease (VPD) burden and other available interventions for the prevention and control of these diseases;
- Public health/scientific issues (evidence for effectiveness; purpose individual protection and/or interruption of transmission)
- Economic aspects
- Opportunity costs (due to competing public health priorities);
- Availability of vaccines and acceptability range of cost per person immunized;
- Operational/Programmatic Feasibility - supply availability, logistics need, procurement process and funding, human resources need and availability, cold chain space, training needs, supervision, injection safety, waste management, security, vaccine characteristics, regimens, regulatory issues; etc.
- Ethical issues.

All members completed a declaration of interest. Only three members reported any interests. It was concluded that all members could take part in full in all of the discussions. The reported relevant interests are summarized below:
Zulfiqar Bhutta
- Received travel reimbursements from Sabin Institute for participation in two meetings as a member of the Pneumococcal Awareness Council of Experts. This interest was assessed as personal, non-specific and financially insignificant*.
- His department received in March 2011 a research grant from Novartis Global Health Institute on a Phase II trail of Vi conjugate vaccination. This interest was assessed as non-personal, non-specific and financially significant*.
Xiaofeng Liang
- Received a travel grant in 2010 from sanofi pasteur and PAREXEL (bio/ pharmaceutical consultancy organization) to attend the Global Meningococcal Initiative's scientific secretariat's meeting. This interest was assessed as personal, non-specific and financially insignificant*.
- His institution receives funding from ten Chinese vaccine manufacturers for conducting a clinical trial on H1N1 vaccines for which he is the principal investigator. This interest was assessed as non-personal, non- specific and financially significant*.
Keymanthri Moodley
- Supervised a study funded by Novartis for hypertension in a private capacity. These interests were assessed as personal, non-specific and financially insignificant.
- Received small speaking engagement fees from a number of companies including GlaxoSmith Kline (GSK) and Pfizer. These interests were assessed as personal, non-specific and financially insignificant.
* According to WHO's Guidelines for Declaration of Interests (WHO expert), an interest is considered "personal" if it generates financial or non-financial gain to the expert, such as consulting income or a patent. "Specificity" states whether the declared interest is a subject matter of the meeting or work to be undertaken. An interest has "financial significance" if the honoraria, consultancy fee or other received funding, including those received by expert's organization, from any single vaccine manufacturer or other vaccine-related company exceeds 10,000 USD in a calendar year. Likewise, a shareholding in any one vaccine manufacturer or other vaccine-related company in excess of 1,000 USD would also constitute a "significant shareholding".

text: As the title suggests, has anyone got a slightly more detailed spec of the required position of the engine and gearbox mounts. Elsawin states that there should be a 13mm gap between the engine mounting and the support arm but that's pretty much it. I have a picture of the original position of the gearbox mounting bolts but not the engine bolts so can't refer to what it was originally like on the engine side. Any info/pics would be appreciated.

Discussion in 'Nintendo Wii Gaming' started by vashivihan, Mar 6, 2009.
Ive kinda been put off Resi 5 due to it being mostly a co-op game
In before stickmode complaining about it not being Resi 5
and before the guy starts trying to tell the company what 'we all want'.
personally, im not interested in this series.
Res. 5 demo on 360 was amazing~ you can play single player but the CPU is a tard.
I bet this "surprise" is just the wiimake of resident evil 0. big deal.
Looks like it could be a Resident Evil Veronica game, there were also rumors floating around it'd be a Resident Evil 2 port:
A portion of a Game Focus interview with Capcom's Matt Dahlgren
Game Focus: One of the staff here loves Code Veronica (Fale) and was wondering if we would see a XBLA or PSN release of this game.
Matt Dahlgren: Nothing is planned for the game regarding a remake on PSN/XBLA, but what I can say is if you are a fan of Code Veronica you should pay attention in the next couple of weeks there is some news you should be very pleased with. Tell him to pay attention on the 12th (March).
Hopefully it's an all new Code Veronica game. And NOT on-rails!!
Most excellent, though I'm hoping for an all-new game rather than a port. I actually enjoyed Umbrella Chronicles quite a bit, I wouldn't mind if we got another on-rails shooter.
How many times can they port these games over. We already got the whole series on Gamecube which as you all know can be played on the wii.
If people buy it
They will make more
Personally id like to see a upgraded version of Resident Evil 2 as that remains one of my fave games
(Not that game.com version)
I will cross my fingers for a directly port of RE5!!
I don't interested in old franchises!!
A RE5 port using the same engine "MT Framework" they used for Xbox360/Ps3 will be better, pushing the Wii's hardware to the limits!!
And add the RE4 Wii Edition controls, the result "The best RE5 version even better than the Xbox360/Ps3 versions"
Cross your fingers!!
Im not expecting to see RE5 on wii (maybe on Wii 2 ,or whatever nintendo's next console is)
Although whatever RE they make whether its RE2-make ,or RECV-make ,or some new spin off I want to see it in an upgraded version of the RE4 engine.
I found the way RE4 controls on Wii far superior to the slowness of RE5 on Xbox.
No. We already new about that. I reckon it will be Umbrella Chronicles.
I like your style dp
We've known about the RE0 wiimake, but it is Japan only afaik, so big news could point to localization for it (I doubt that though). However, given the information ResEvilWii quoted, I'd bet it's something to do with Code Veronica.
Some kind of stuck in the 80s troll in plad shirts style?
And todays word was "Kockers"
Tomorrows will be "Squelchy"
From Gamesradar:
I was wondering why RE2 was omitted in RE:UC :S
Hopefully it won't be on-rails, but UC was okay, but I would rather play it in the original formula with RE4 engine. Imagine this, your in a dark corridor looking over Claire's shoulder, when suddenly zombies pop out in your face, this is my idea for RE6, but I know Capcom'll say "NO, we would rather use our own ideas"
Capcom press release:
To celebrate the release of Resident Evil 5 on Friday, March 13th, Capcom and our friends at GameStop are throwing a launch party! On the eve of the launch, Thursday the 12th, meet us at Union Square in San Francisco to usher in Resident Evil 5. The event kicks off at 8pm and ends at midnight when you will be able to pick up your game- in-between we'll have plenty going on to keep you busy. For starters, there will be a whole tent dedicated to the game where tons of kiosks will be set up and players will get a chance to get their hands on the game before grabbing it at midnight. You'll also have the chance to win prizes and giveaways, meet the development team including co-producers, Takeuchi-san and Kawata-san and hang out with the motion capture/voice actors that played Chris, Sheva and Josh. To top it all off there will be new game announcements, stage shows, and Resident Evil activities all through out the night.
In order to guarantee you get the game at midnight, please stop by the Powell Street GameStop before the party to get your game transaction processed. You will need to get your proof of purchase wrist band and receipt for the GameStop store in order to pick-up your game at the party.
Also make sure to get there early as there will be limited space and we want to make sure you all get to enjoy the party!
Just to re-cap the details: be at Union Square in San Francisco by 8:00pm. I highly recommend getting there EARLY. We'll party until midnight, then you can get your copy of the game with proof of purchase at the Powell St. GameStop. See you there!
Notice it's plural: "new game anouncements"
Maybe they'll officially anounce Spyborgs, Monster Hunter 3 for NA, and Tatsanoko vs. Capcom for NA as well.
I'm surprised none of you mentioned all the rumors going around that this new RE wii game is going to be a remake of RE Code Veronica.
Personally I think it has the best chance of being remade on Wii using the RE4 engine considering its the only one that didn't use pre-renders it was all 3D backgrounds ,and characters.
Whats your guys thoughts.
i just hope it is something good. i didnt really like umbrella chronicles much...
hopefully whatever it is will be good enough for me to hit the eject button on my RE4. i just want a NEW GREAT Resident Evil game for the Wii. Dont get me wrong, i love my wii and re4, but Lets make the 360 and ps3 owners envious for once...
It should be noted he said "very happy". But, they're not going to put Resident Evil 5 on Wii. Why would they suddenly decide that after just releasing it on 360 and PS3? It's most likely a new Wii-specific Resident Evil game.
What do you think would sell better, a downgraded RE5, or an original game?

Freelock Computing, an open source consulting firm, was built on the same premise as open source itself. Tapping into the open source community to find the ideal solutions for clients, Freelock is in the business of sharing. They share their skills, their knowledge, their network — and even their salaries — with a pay it forward approach that benefits everyone. For John Locke, founder, it's about spreading the wealth where his company, customer, causes and planet all profit. And that's a life hack worth installing.
1. How do you define for-profit philanthropy?
We define it as recognizing that our success is built upon the works of others, and that we are an inextricable part of the fabric of our community. We need to be good custodians and do what we can to help those around us in need.
2. Please describe your philanthropic business plan and your current charitable activities.
We donate 10% of our profits to open source projects or charities. We also encourage our employees to devote 10% of their work time to volunteering on open source projects or charities.
3. How do you communicate the impact of these efforts to your customers?
We haven't much, yet. I do see charitable contributions as good marketing but that's not the impetus behind our efforts. We will, however, begin posting regularly about who we're helping on a charitable contributions page on our website, and asked to be listed as donors to the projects and charities we support. And, of course, we'll happily talk about for-profit charitable activities when asked! We're very passionate about the good we do, and I'd like to see more businesses put philanthropic activities right into their business plan. I'd like to see buyers and consumers asking why such things aren't the regular activities of a successful business. After all, no successful business got that way all by themselves so there should always be a focus on giving back. But I also think talking too much about what contributions you're making takes away from the purpose of giving, and dilutes the meaning behind it. I'm happy to promote charitable causes, but I'd rather show you what we're doing than tell you that we're doing it.
4. Why do you think it's important for companies to adopt philanthropy as part of their revenue model?
We have some dire problems we face on this planet – climate change, water issues, social justice, economic problems, health care issues, pollution, and many more. Any business that fails to account for their impact in these areas is not sustainable in the long run. Our current
economic collapse, I think, is in large part because too many businesses, for far too long, have ignored the true cost of their business, making everyone else pay the consequences. We can no longer afford to do so.
5. What would you say is the most critical element in successfully implementing philanthropic endeavors?
Supporting other people and businesses who make a conscious effort to solve problems in the world around them, and choosing not to support businesses who are motivated solely by greed.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
The dress and hat are made out of a heavyweight stretch pvc I found in a beautiful pearly bubblegum pink. Made the doctors' bag from scratch (it's missing the handle, will be added before I wear it again). All the crosses I had laser cut from 3/16" red acrylic. The button closure on the front is false - the dress actually zips up in the back. The flats I purchased were this horrible faux suede, so I painted them with fabric paints to match my pvc. I got a pretty good color match!
I didn't have time to make an accurate bone saw so I made do with a hacksaw. I'll make an accurate one before the costume is worn again.
- Personal Thoughts:
- The dress is a sauna, I can't breathe correctly due to the mask, and I can't see out of my right eye. Picking things up is pretty much impossible because my depth perception is shot to hell.
All that said... I love this costume.

Student Success Story
Student's Goals Translate to Service
Most students interested in medicine focus their internships on traditional medical fields such as biology or chemistry.
Lauren White '09 chose another path.
As an intern for Hermanas y Hermanos Mayores, a Big Brother/Big Sister program for Latino youth, the College of Arts and Sciences student combined her Spanish studies major and her interest in pediatric medicine.
The internship exposed White to an array of interpersonal, management, and human relations skills, components vital in approaching a successful medical career.
Specifically, White assisted in reference checks, conducted interviews with prospective "Bigs" and assisted in every step of the matchmaking process. Though the process was not always successful, she feels these tasks helped to make a difference.
"You can't match every kid," she says. "Sometimes there are defensive walls in place, but when it works... it has a powerful impact on a kid's life."
White plans to continue helping children. She is anxiously waiting for an acceptance letter to medical school where she hopes to continue her studies in pediatric health.

Carl von Clausewitz warned strategists never to take the first fateful step in war without considering what the last step ought to be. In recent weeks, apparently with that in mind, the Bush administration has been floating various schemes on how to rebuild Iraq after the impending war.
more Holmes columns
The plan that surfaced most often envisioned installing General Tommy Franks, who will command the invasion, as military governor for a prolonged stint of occupation. The model was General Douglas MacArthur, who oversaw the foundation of a liberal Japan after World War II.
That didn't sit well with Ahmad Chalabi, who heads up the New York-based Iraqi National Congress (INC), a loose confederation of opposition groups that styles itself a government-in-exile. Nor should it. Iraq isn't Japan, and Iraqis will be less a defeated than a liberated people.
America needs to show Iraqis that it is their benefactor - not their conqueror. Consequently, a lighter hand is in order.
Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Chalabi branded the U.S. plan ''unworkable and unwise.'' Why? He lodged two basic protests. First, the political institutions erected by Saddam's Baath Party would remain intact, albeit with American officers holding key leadership posts. This would perpetuate repression while tainting the U.S. occupation in the eyes of Iraqis.
By leaving in place the basic structure of Saddam's government, complete with the people who had been implements of totalitarianism, the United States would be leaving ''important decisions about the future of Iraq in the hands of either foreign occupiers or Saddam's officials.''
The former lacked the requisite knowledge to rebuild a Muslim society; the latter were adherents of a doctrine rooted in 1930s fascism. Neither group, said Chalabi, was a trustworthy architect for a democratic Iraq. Indeed, ''Iraq needs a comprehensive program of de-Baathification even more extensive than the de-Nazification effort in Germany after World War II.''
In short, all residue of Saddam's rule needed to be swept away - and sooner rather than later.
Second, military government would open a rift between America and a post-Saddam Iraq. U.S. military officers would be in charge of sensitive matters, forcing them to ''make difficult decisions about Iraqi society and culture with very little knowledge.'' Would, for instance, ''an American colonel at the ministry of education decide on the role of Islam in school curricula?''
It would be disastrous, concluded Chalabi, for the United States to interpose itself in such affairs. Rather, ''the task of exorcising Saddam's ghosts from the Iraqi psyche and society'' was best accomplished not by abridging Iraqi sovereignty, but by returning Iraq to the Iraqis - presumably led by Ahmad Chalabi.
Sadly for him, there's little reason to believe the INC would do any better. Chalabi and his colleagues are mostly long-time expatriates. They lack the popular support necessary to craft a liberal order for a nation long saddled with totalitarianism. And they can only tenuously claim to represent the Kurdish and majority Shiite populations.
Nor does the congress have any military capabilities that would help it contribute to victory over Saddam - and thus to reap the gratitude of the Iraqi people. Nor have the unruly factions comprising the INC shown that they can work together cohesively - an ability that will be at a premium amid the chaos of postwar Iraq.
Yet many of Chalabi's points were telling. Not so coincidentally, the Bush administration released its final blueprint for postwar Iraq hard on the heels of his WSJ missive. Gone was any mention of a MacArthur-esque occupation. Judging by the pronouncements of administration officials and past U.S. practice, several principles will guide the postwar occupation:
n General Franks will hand over control to a civil governor, most likely a former ambassador or state governor, at the earliest possible moment.
The United States will refuse to set an arbitrary deadline for ending the occupation, for fear of galvanizing resistance to its rebuilding effort.
It will commence organizing Iraqi institutions, such as a council of advisers, an indigenous constabulary, a judiciary and a parliament, almost immediately.
It will press ahead aggressively with the reconstruction of civilian infrastructure, including the all-important oil facilities, even before the shooting stops.
Equipping Iraqis with basic services, giving them a say in their affairs, and restoring oil exports will ease suspicions of America's intentions and lay the groundwork for self-rule - helping Iraq regain its rightful station in international society. Will it work? Yes - provided Americans are ready for a long, costly interval of ''nation building'' in the Persian Gulf.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of the study is to determine whether the investigational drug galantamine-CR (Reminyl- Controlled Release capsule) is useful in improving problems with memory in bipolar patients with stable mood. This study is being done because a large proportion of patients with bipolar disorder experience significant memory problems, even when their mood is stable, after adequate treatment. These memory problems have been associated with poor daily social functioning. Studying galantamine-CR in this population may provide a new clinical way to combat memory problems in stable patients with bipolar disorder.

Stream all of La Big Vic's upcoming full-length, Cold War, via Noisey. The album is due January 29th, check out what Noisey has to say about it:
"God we love La Big Vic. They just sent us a copy of their sophomore record Cold War… The music is built on pitch-perfect pop hooks that emerge from a goopy haze of synthetic keyboards and distorting echo. The songwriting is top tier, and will make you want to pick up work on that novel or start working out or some other New Years Resolution-type activity…"
Cold War homes in on the power of a soulful hook without forfeiting the cosmopolitanism that made its predecessor so unique. The arrangements are lusher and crisper than ever, thanks partly to Toshio's mastery of the bedroom recording studio, and partly to Soft Landing Studio's Steve Griesgraber, who engineered the vocals and violin. More grounded in hip-hop beats and melodic synth leads than its predecessor, Cold War also sees the band venturing deeper into narrative storytelling, darting between emotional missed connections and the romantic melancholy of wandering the city streets alone at night. It's an upside-down love letter to the city that never sleeps, and the sound of three musicians coming into their own.
Listen to the whole album below and be sure to preorder your copy from the UP Store.

The UAE is a Rising Star in FutureBrand's Index on Countries as a Brand
Italy ranks as the top overall destination, according to a first-of-its-kind global index released recently, that identifies countries as brands and suggests the pivotal role that branding could make in helping countries differentiate themselves.
The UAE achieved major recognition in the following categories: Rising Star – 2nd place, Most Improved – 4th place, Business – 5th place and Conventions – 6th place, confirming that the international perception and pull towards the UAE is developing at a steady rate. Egypt also fared extremely well and was awarded 9th overall position. Australia and the U.S. take the second and third overall positions in the FutureBrand Country Brand Index, which is comprised of a three-tiered analysis of statistics, a global quantitative survey, and expert opinions of international travel professionals.
The report examines the role and opportunity to market a country as a brand, and ranks countries according to a variety of measures. This year's index includes rankings, as well as emerging trends, travel motivations, challenges and opportunities within the world's second largest industry – travel and tourism. These include China as "most improved" country brand, the U.S. as "best country brand for business travel" and Italy as "best country brand for art and culture."
"Based on our years of experience in this category, we are excited to launch the FutureBrand Country Brand Index. Countries have traditionally under-performed and under-achieved as brands, despite enormous potential," notes Jean-Louis Dumeu, chairman, chief executive officer, FutureBrand. "We hope this study promotes dialogues, raises questions and encourages countries to look at themselves in a whole new way. A strong country brand will offer nations a tremendous competitive advantage and help build long term opportunity for business, tourism, exports and investment."
FutureBrand, a leading global brand consultancy, in conjunction with international PR agency Weber Shandwick's travel practice, intend the study to become an annual occurrence. The initiative was led by Rina Plapler, executive director, FutureBrand, and involved a variety of FutureBrand's global offices and disciplines.
