- Strung rabbit's feet are more worthy to wear when cutting ivy. The only gain out of ivy is woodcutting experience, since there are no logs associated with it.

Transfer Credits
Credits earned in graduate-level courses taken at URI as a non-matriculating student are called "Advanced Standing Credits." Credits earned in graduate courses taken at other Universities are called "Transfer Credits."
Advanced Standing Credits: For 400-level classes and higher taken at URI within 5 years and not used for another degree plan, students may transfer no more than 14 credits into the MESM program as long as the classes are relevant to the MESM track the student is enrolled in.
Transfer Credits: For 400-level classes and higher taken at an accredited University other than URI and taken within 7 years and not used for another degree plan, students may transfer no more than 7 credits into the MESM program as long as the classes are relevant to the MESM track the student is enrolled in.
400- and 500-level graduate credits taken as an undergraduate but NOT used toward the bachelors degree can be transferred in and used for the MESM degree. This, however, requires a letter from the Academic Dean of the College stating that the credits were not part of the undergraduate program.
No more than 14 total credits of transfer and advanced standing credits may be counted toward the MESM degree. Classes must be in topics relevant to the MESM degree track that the student is enrolled in. The MESM track chair will determine the suitability of the classes to the MESM degree and the students Program of Study.
Transfer guidelines are presented in Section 7.2, Section 5.2, and Section 3.30 of the URI Graduate Manual.
In Your Program of Study: When credit is desired for work taken at another University, the course(s) should be listed in the Transfer Credit section of the POS. An official transcript (sent directly from the other institution) should be on file in the Graduate School Office. A catalog description of the course and an explanation of the school's numbering system should also be submitted. These courses must satisfy the requirements for transfer credit stated above and in Section 7.20 of the Graduate Student Manual.
Classes taken as a non-matriculating student at URI (advanced standing credit) are entered directly into the list of Program Credit Courses in the POS.

Mine was waiting at my door today, too. I'll bet there were quite a few people doing happy dances this evening ...
Update: The outer carton didn't seemed damaged, but when I opened it up, the box showed some damage (uh oh). When I lifted the fuselage up, there was an open crack at the intakes, and the area where the front gear doors are showed some crushing/bending

Okay, got some work done tonight. I had to finish up my P-40 so that's why I got started late. The first part of the manual states to dry fit the wings and wing tubes into the fuselage, then glue them in. I found that the wing tubes didn't go fully into the fuselage but a couple of turns with a 3/16" drill bit fixed that. So while the epoxy was drying, I thought I'd update the thread.

got one in for a friend today,looks great but gear door latches were broken, I told HL to look at this and see if they can get them shipped with the doors closed
can't wait til monday to get my airframe,my best friend and I are each building one to fly formation etc,can u say dual flatspins?
I'm planning to use my Mega 22/30/ 2 on 5-6s and my Ice 100 esc
I'm very impressed at the size and look forward to flying her next week
Thankyou very much.. also if you do not mind when you do a power test can you video holding it in your hand with the nose straight up so I can see if it hoovers, fall backs, or trys to pull from your and.... remember straight up no angle. Thanks, jack
Got both wings glued on. Man, it's late. Enjoy the pics, I'm crashing for the night. Will post more tomorrow.

Got a lot more work done this afternoon. Was chomping at the bit to get to the workshop but had some honey-do's to take care of first.
First I made my electrical connections for the wing. Pulled out the trusty dental floss to make sure the connectors don't come apart in the air. I neatly shoved them into the channels for the wire then covered them up with packing tape.
Next I got the elevators out of the box and dry-fitted everything. The two screws that hold the mounting plate into the wood seemed to not snug down to my satisfaction so I wicked some thin CA into the screw holes and then secured them. They still seem to be a bit wobbly but they do feel secure. Then I glued the foam covers in with hot glue.
While the hot glue gun was heating up, I glued on the nose cone with foam-safe CA. Didn't make too much of a mess but I could have been a little neater.
Next was to make the electrical connections for the vertical stabs and glue them into place. Very simple; tied the connectors together with more detal floss and glued them both into place. The epoxy is still drying but the plane is pretty much ready to go, with the exception of installing my receiver.
Further examination of the TV system looks to be easier to remove than I thought earlier. I will take the hatches off, remove the servos and wiring, and lock the nozzles in place. There are marks on the nozzles that I assume are to make them straight.
Enjoy the pics, will do some more work tonight/tomorrow and who knows, I may maiden it after all tomorrow.
I hope you do not have the same issues I found below.....Good thread here - great info.
Well I got my Freewing F18 from Hobby Lobby yesterday - built her last night and maidened her today. She flies OK....still some trimming to do and getting the TV squared away. I might just glue it at nominal. It is very sloppy. The left side TV nozzle has about 4mm play fore/aft and never allows the TV to set nominal.
The plane has great power -sounds awesome.
Gear is great....no issues at all. 4 solid landings (on blacktop - not grass)
Here are the issues I have seen with this V1 of this bird:
1.) TV is sloppy (one nozzle is horrible - worst I have seen - not happy with this quality issue at all). Not sure what to do here.
2.) TV from factory was all messed up - HL please get FW to get the nominal mechanical setting figured out before install - pain in rear, but can be tuned.
3.) Fuse has 2mm gap along top bottom halve glue seam.....poor QC....concerned about strength.
4.) From shipping across the pond and drops along the way - front of fuselage has some stress creases....no cracks that I can tell yet.
5.) EDF balanace was way out....I changed to a Midi Rotor before maidem.
6.) From factory only 2 wires attached to motor - luckily it was just a banana connector that was undone - again - poor QC.
7.) Finally the red pin striping is coming off the paint.....what??? Plane has been out of the box for 24 hours.... looks like I will need to do something here too.
Overall the plane is OK. For the money to deal with all this BS.....kind of makes it less GOOD. If I were doing it again..........again get the ARF and do things right. Once again the Chinese factory is a big quality / craftsmanship hurdle. I hope Hobby Lobby reads this and passed these issues back to Freewing. People expect better quality for nearly $400. Things still need to get better. They might be petty in general....but the expectation for $400 is much greater than what was received.
Enough of my commentary....take it or leave it, this is what I found last night upon build and today upon maiden.
Now Go Fly.

Thanks for the update Kydawg1. I had a few of your issues as well:
Well, the plane is just about ready to go. I finished installing everything and tomorrow morning before the maiden will be some minor things such as enlarging the battery compartment, setting neutral points for the control surfaces, etc. It was a quick build, even for someone as slow as me.
Once the glue for the vertical stabs was dry, I decided to disable the TV. It was simpler than I thought; the hard part was getting to the center servo (it was glued in the pocket pretty well). The TV nozzles seemed to be sloppy - like the previous poster mentioned - so I'm glad I decided to do without. I carefully removed the covers and simply pulled the servos out. I lined up the nozzles to center as best I could, and drilled two pilot holes into each nozzle. Secured with a couple of screws and voila, no TV. I saved the weight of three servos, four pushrods, and what appears to be three 24" extensions. I glued the covers back in place and it was done.
Next was to solder on some REAL connectors. I had to remove the ESC to so this and I'm glad I did... I found one of the bullet connectors connecting the motor to the ESC to be completely loose. Threw on some APP connectors and since the motor wires are so short (and I was too lazy to extend them), I used servo tape to hold at least the back end of the ESC into the radio compartment. For those that do use Deans and will be using two packs in series, the plane comes wired as such.
I ran the fan up on a 3s pack and my initial impression is 'meh'. Granted it seems to push A LOT of air - even on 3s - but vibrates a little and it isn't the smoothest-sounding fan I've ever heard. I was hoping it was the same fan that was in the Eurofighter as the ones I've seen in them are smooth. I'll certainly fly it as-is, but a change to a balanced, higher-quality fan may be in the future of this plane.
I then took the time to neaten up the wires as best I could and I installed one of my trusty Futaba FASST 617FS 2.4 GHz receivers. I powered up the system once making all of the connections and had no issues. All control surfaces worked (and in the proper direction, no less), and the fan spun in the correct direction once I reversed a pair of motor wires.
Cycled the gear a few times and they worked flawlessly. They sure do seem tough. The only issue I see is that the steering arm rubs the left-half gear door. I have to center the nose gear (steering) anyway so I'll just shave the arm a bit.
Now that I'm done running around the plane, I glued in the wingtip missile rails and the missiles to the rails. The instructions didn't mention a thing about them. I'm sure I would have bumped/broken them at some point so I waited to do them last.
Finally I checked my batteries. They will fit but I'lll have to hog out a little foam as I'm using slightly larger packs (3s 4000 x 2). The plane is a little nose-heavy but not by much. I prefer a nose-heavy plane anyway but I'll check it again once I get the batteries mounted properly.
Enjoy the pics and video; I've had enough for one day. I apologize for the shaking in the video; I was recording with one hand and operating the radio with the other. Barring any disasters, the maiden flight will be tomorrow after I do the following:

Okay, the problems have been fixed, control throws set, batteries charged, and car is packed. Will be heading to the field shorty. A couple of notes from this morning:

ONTARIO, Calif. (AP) — Two leaders of a San Bernardino County street gang have been convicted on federal racketeering charges in a case that accused them of violent crimes and the distribution of illegal drugs.
The Riverside Press-Enterprise reports (http://bit.ly/1fk5QEt ) 50-year-old Armando "Mando" Barajas of Pomona and 43-year-old Juan "Nito" Gil were convicted Monday after a nine-day trial. Gil was serving a 10-year prison term when he was indicted in 2010.
Both men are purported to be members of the U.S. organized crime group the Mexican Mafia.
U.S. attorney's spokesman Thom Mrozek said as leaders of Ontario's Black Angels, Barajas and Gil extorted drug dealers who paid "rent" in order to operate in the gang's territory.
The Black Angels is a multi-generational Latino street gang that is blamed for distributing methamphetamine and heroin.

"The NATIONAL SEMINAR SERIES is without a doubt a great way to learn the shortcuts to fishing sucess, regardless of your level of experience," says SWS editor at large and Seminar Series host George Poveromo.
"The amount of information revealed up on the stage borders on the unbelievable at times. There are no secrets withheld, and I'm constantly amazed at just how specific the members of our faculty get. The best endorsement of the program's qualify and valuable fishing content, however, is the fact that it has been packing major auditoriums for well over two decades – 24 years to be exact! You certainly can't do that with a second-rate show!"
Make no mistake about it. This is not your run-of-the-mill fishing clinic at a local tackle shop. As the nation's premier educational seminar on saltwater fishing tactics, the National Seminar Series is an elaborate production that's held in some of the most prestigious and luxurious auditoriums in the country. With many of the very best authorities on saltwater fishing covering in explicit detail the how-tos and where-tos of locating and catching inshore, nearshore and offshore gamefish within the respective seminar region, each session is supported by informative images, diagrams, video clips and onstage demonstrations. These specifically tailored visuals help reinforce the critical points discussed by our nationally and regionally acclaimed teaching teams. Furthermore, image-magnification technology allows the audience to view detailed fishing charts, step-by-step rigging instructions, lures, baits, knots and much, much more on a pair of 10-by-10-foot screens that flank the instructors onstage.
The series will once again be hosted by George Poveromo. He will be joined at each location by fellow SWS editors and nationally recognized fishing pros, such as John Brownlee, Barry Gibson, Gary Caputi, Ric Burnley, Spud Woodward, Mike Marsh, Dr. Mitchell Roffer, Harry Vernon III, and captains Trey Rhyne, John Oughton, Jimmy Price and Bouncer Smith. These national faculty members will be joined by teams composed of top regional anglers. A minimum of eight faculty members will be present at each location!
The seminars are help on Saturdays, beginning at 9 a.m. and concluding by 4 p.m. There is one-hour lunch break at noon. Long considered the best bargain in sport fishing, a Seminar Series ticket is only $55. The ticket price covers six hours of instruction from the best pros in the business, a course textbook, a one-year subscription to our extension of Salt Water Sportsman, one Roffer's Ocean Fishing Forecasting Service analysis, a 16-ounce bottle of OrPine Wash & Wax, one spool of Sufix fishing line, a $20 discount card for any purchase of $150 or more from Capt. Harry's Fishing Supply and chances to win valuable door prizes. The grand prize at each location is a Bahamas fishing trip for two to the prestigious Bimini Sands Resort & Marina. The super grand prize, to be awarded two weeks after the conclusion of the 2011 series, is MAKO's new 18-foot Light Tackle Skiff!
As it enters its 24th consecutive year of touring, the Salt Water Sportsman National Seminar Series continues to draw huge crowds. Why? The formula for its success is really quite simple: Round up the top national and regional sport-fishing authorities and have them divulge their most productive fishing tactics. The Seminar Series' no-holds-barred format also requires these pros to reveal their prime fishing spots, the best times to fish them, and the vest baits and lures to use. The 2011 Series will be no different.

Another in a series about social media and how those engaged in the issue of hunger might use them to build community. If you're already using these tools, this will be elementary stuff. If you're not, I encourage you to try them out.
Twitter is a social media tool that's seen explosive growth recently. Kind of a cross between instant messaging and blogging (sometimes called "micro-blogging") Twitter allows you to send updates—"Tweets"—of 140 characters or less to a network of "followers" Tweets can be received either via the Web or an instant-messaging device.
Twitter is used to inform, promote, stimulate discussion, build networks, and communicate among friends. Its most effective adherents use it for all of these.
I won't go into much detail about how to effectively use Twitter. Too many have already done a great job of that, and some links are posted below.
There are a number of other Twitter-like applications—Pownce, Plurk, and others, but Twitter is the most widely-used.
Twitter is definitely an acquired taste. I can almost assure you, you won't "get it" when you first sign up for it. In order to understand its potential, you'll need to begin following several people. A recommended "starter list" is included below. It's also important that you send updates of your own.
I believe you will be using Twitter, or a Twitter-like application someday. Might as well start now. Go to http://twitter.com and sign up (it's free). You're welcome to "follow" me. Do that by going to http://twitter.com/ederdn and clicking the little "follow" button under my name. Then send an update that includes @ederdn, and I'll follow you back. Let me know that you read this message. Let's see if we can build a group of Twitter users within this community.

Henry Ford's father William Ford (1826–1905), was born in County Cork. Henry was particularly proud of the fact that both his father and his maternal foster grandfather were men from Cork.
The family initially settled in Co. Cork during the latter half of the sixteenth century. At the time, Queen Elizabeth I granted some 600,000 acres of confiscated land to English gentlemen, prompting the Ford family to leave Somerset, England and join other Protestant settlers in the Irish province of Munster.
John Ford, Henry's grandfather, lived in the family home on the Madame Estate in Crohane, Ballinascarthy. But in 1847, at the height of the Famine, John was forced to uproot his family and make the gruelling voyage from Queenstown (Cobh) to Quebec. William, then 21 years old, also joined the family on the trip, which his mother, Tomasine Smith Ford – Henry Ford's grandmother – did not survive.

WASHINGTON - The White House environmental adviser, who was under fire for inflammatory statements made before he joined the administration, resigned after what he called a "vicious smear campaign against me."
Van Jones "understood that he was going to get in the way" of President Obama's agenda, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said.
The resignation was disclosed without advance notice by the White House in a dead-of-the-night e-mail on a holiday weekend. It came as Obama is working to regain his footing in the contentious health care debate.
Jones, who specialized in environmentally friendly "green jobs" with the White House Council on Environmental Quality, was linked to efforts suggesting a government role in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans.
Gibbs said Obama did not endorse Van Jones' comments, but thanked him for his service.
Recent news reports cited a derogatory comment Jones made in the past about Republicans, and separately, of Jones' name appearing on a petition connected to the events surrounding the Sept. 11 attacks.

Pope County Judge Jim Ed Gibson announced Thursday night during the monthly Quorum Court meeting the county would soon benefit financially from an upcoming highway project on Weir Road.
According to Gibson, the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department needed to purchase land in front of the county complex on Weir Road to expand the four-lane road to a five-lane road.
"If you've ever tried to turn out of the complex, you'll notice there's only one lane going southbound, but there's two lanes going northbound, with a turn lane in the middle," the judge explained, noting the expansion would begin at the Interstate 40 interchange and end at East Main Street.
The highway department would pay the county $45,050 for the land, but Gibson said some of the funds would be spent for the rebuilding of the curb in front of the Pope County Health Department.
He also said the parking lot would undergo some changes. With less space in the parking lot, he said straight spaces may have to be made diagonal.
"We don't want to hold up other progress," Gibson said.
Bids for the project are expected to be taken in August.
Committee reports
Public Safety - Justice of the Peace Roger Freeman said although the Public Safety Committee had not met regarding the topics Gibson requested the committee review, he had researched the issue of juvenile housing at the detention center. He said he toured Faulkner County's and Yell County's juvenile facilities and was busy gathering information to work on with the committee. He said he was not yet ready for a public meeting on the matter, but would accept any suggestions or information from other court members or the public.
Solid Waste - Justice Madelyn Ginsberg said the Solid Waste committee would meet this month to discuss a proposal from Jim Kelley, facility coordinator for the Recycle Works drop-off center. Kelley requested at a meeting Tuesday the county furnish $7,500 toward the operating cost of the drop-off center.
"As we all know, this benefits the entire county," Ginsberg said, adding the committee expected to present a recommendation at next month's court meeting.
Road - Justice Edwin Shinn said with rising fuel costs this summer, he still hoped the road department could operate and perform as many jobs as possible with its budget. Gibson added work on tile damage from late winter floods on Quicker Still Lane had been completed.
Gibson introduced Jack Smith as the new Veteran's Service Coordinator for Pope County after Betty Sorrell's recent retirement. Smith, a retired Navy officer, has been a Veteran's Service Officer for the county and drives a van to the VA and Senior Activity Center.
The Office of Emergency Management received the used Bookmobile from the Pope County Library, who recently purchased a new vehicle. OEM refurbished the vehicle to use at its facility.
The judge sold three of the old Pope County Sheriff's patrol cars to Perry County, which he said was in dire need of vehicles. Two cars were appraised at and sold for $900, while another was sold for $750. Two cars registered more than 160,000 miles, and one was inoperable.
Ginsberg shared positive comments she received recently from her constituents. She commended the road department for their courtesy in taking old appliances and equipment at the county complex, and thanked County Clerk Laura McGuire for her work.
Virginia Jones of the Order of the Eastern Star announced the group's annual spaghetti dinner will be held beginning at 11 a.m. May 2. Proceed go toward charitable events.
In other business

Inspirational: Meet The Man Behind The Food Revolution In South Central L.A
"Wake Up And Change Your Life," Says Renegade Gardener Growing A Food Forest In the unlikeliest of places
Ten years ago, Ron Finley was issued an arrest warrant by the City of Los Angeles for 'illegal use of public space.' His crime? Urban gardening. Ron had become so sick of driving miles for healthy food he decided to plant a few herbs in a space between the sidewalk and the road. "At first it was the beauty; it was the smell," he explains. "Lavender, jasmine, rosemary…" He says in this great video from Take Part above.
Next, Ron added a banana tree and some veg. He quickly discovered that while his neighbors didn't mind a bit, the law wasn't quite as supportive of his green fingers. "I planted a carrot and all hell broke loose," Finley told NBC last week. "It was almost, OK, we got a black man with a carrot in the ground in South Central. We need back up. Are you serious? It's a carrot, dude."
Ron's sense of humor and passionate stance on healthy eating have made him a well-known guerilla gardening hero. He fought the law, and he won. He describes himself as "a renegade gangster provocateur game-changing gardener." A TED talk he gave in 2013 has been watched by over 2 million people, and as a fashion designer Ron appreciates beauty. "For me, the whole urban gardening thing is about art," Ron says. "I want everyone to be able to design their own life."
By this, he means giving his neighbors the opportunity to eat local, healthy food. That's not so easy in South L.A, where there are over 1000 fast food restaurants. One in seven people have diabetes, and one in three children is obese. These statistics are twice those of wealthier neighboring communities. For Ron, this is a disgrace. "I call them food prisons," he says wearily. "Because you literally have to break out of these situations to get anything healthy."
"People ask me what was my inspiration," he goes on. "Cancer, diabetes, asthma…We don't know where our food comes from, nor do we care."
But things are changing. Ten years after he first began, Ron has acquired an acre of land behind an old public library, and he has grand plans for it. "I don't even want to call it an urban community; I just want to turn it into a food forest," Ron says. "it's going to be "the most healing, sexiest garden in America." The land is already attracting bees, hummingbirds, people who want to eat fresh for free, and lots of small children who are learning about nature for the first time. Ron says: "I don't grow food, I grow people."

Google Authorship – rel="author"
As i was reading up today i realized that i have been telling folks for a while now about Google Authorship, and i was reminded by Bronson Harrington within a comment about doing so. So here is a simple step by step guide layed out by the folks over at YOAST.
That is what it looks like. Pretty neat i would have to say!
"My buddy Arjan discovered yesterday that Google is now allowing rel="author" markup through a <link> element in the head of your site. This makes adding rel="author" to your site properly a lot easier,"
3 step process:
- Add the above link to the <head> of the URLs you'd like your face to appear on.
- On your Google+ profile, you need to make sure to have a link pointing back to the site you want the author highlight to work on.
- Make sure your +1′s are public on your Google+ profile or it won't work.
Yes its that simple to do and not what i expected. So it should look like this:
<link rel="author" href="http://plus.google.com/101236821655490344517"

Well-known submarine sandwich joint Subway has blown over $3,000,000 on plans for new stores out to sea.
With sales falling, Subway needed a new gimmick of some kind - and so, Submarineway was born, a renamed version of the famous store set out to sea - underwater and on oil rigs and even on desert islands, all serving the famous Subway meals like Meatball Marinaras and sourdough bread. It was a genius vision and was planned to run in the US and UK in the most frequently travelled oceans across the world. There would be special new foods introduced for the Submarineway chains, including the Undersea Sub - which had blue food dye - and the Squid Supersub, the chain's very first two-footer sub.
The project ran into problems from day one, however. The original plan was for people working on oil rigs to be able to purchase subs for their lunch break - but then, they discovered that all the oil rigs in the areas selected for the Submarineway stores were unmanned. With half a dozen stores already being built and food supplies being poured into them, Subway's executives had to quickly cancel that idea.
The second suggestion to go was the desert island Subways. The plan for that was that around-the-world cruises and liners could stop at the chains - which were planned to be very tall for people on the liners to get their meals - and get food in case they were running low on supplies or just fancied a sub. However, it turned out that they had once again chosen the wrong location. To give you an idea of just how desolate the areas were, whilst planning the places where the new stores would go, the Subway execs discovered several previously unknown islands. With the first island Submarineway nearing completion, the idea was cancelled.
And finally, the underwater Submarineways were planned to be built on large undersea spreads of rock near to the surface so they could be jutting out of the water. However, after the first Submarineway was finally completed, set underwater, they were ordered to remove it by angry mariners who kept on narrowly avoiding it. A second one was planned, but when it was discovered it would have to be built on the sea floor, the builders quit for fear of their safety.
So, finally, Submarineway was scrapped at great expense to the company for the planning permission, construction and deconstruction of their new stores. At the time of writing, despite their great loss, regular Subway stores remain open worldwide. In a passing comment made to The Spoof, the owner of Subway's said that "he would find someway to keep the stores open and pay back the debt". We'll bring you the exciting drama of how Subway's will keep their stores open as it breaks! Stay online with The Spoof!

loging out with session.Abandon()
i was thinking of having a hyperlink which would log the user out. currently iam using a session object to log people in, ie session("permission") = true and then checking this on every page. i was woundering how i make a link run a script which sets session("permission") = false. but for some reason the user is only logged out out of every page only if they double refresh the page, otherwise the page detects the person as loged in. i think i need to set some cache to something. can anybody help? thanx in advance.

you're a bit vague about the actual situation where users can see earlier pages.
I assume they browse through the history?

Tennis team 'unoffically' awesome at league tourney
Tuesday's win was sweet because it was Andrew Konetzni's last action for a week. It was sweet because it was first place in the unofficial Frontier League tennis tournament, because it was a big step toward securing a top-three seed at next month's regional tournament and because it represented Konetzni's progress and his growth in his freshman year.
Mostly, it was sweet because it was revenge. Konetzni avenged one of his four losses on the season with a 6-3, 6-4 two-set victory over Nathan Dick of Baldwin, balancing the series between the two at one win apiece after Dick won a 6-3 match April 12.
The win should give the De Soto freshman an edge over Dick come tournament seeding time, and in it Konetzni showed just how dangerous he can be.
"It feels a lot better," Konetzni said. "It feels good to get that win back."
The Frontier League is without a true tennis tournament as only four schools field teams. The Cats proved they were the class of those that do, however. Fueled by championship efforts from Konetzni in No. 1 singles and Dan Hoschouer and Andy Edwards in No. 1 doubles, the Cats edged Baldwin for the unofficial crown. Matt Edwards was third in No. 2 singles and Matt L'Ecuyer and Trevor Elmer were fifth in No. 2 doubles.
De Soto finished with 28 points, tied with Baldwin. Konetzni's win gave De Soto a head-to-head advantage, however, and pushed the Cats over the top.
"One of the biggest goals today was for Andrew to have a strong showing," De Soto coach Michael Sullivan said. "We wanted him to have a strong showing to get another chance at Nathan Dick. That was a big key for us."
Konetzni credited his win to adopting his opponent's style -- "pushing," he said -- but early in the first set he used his own power and creativity to set the style.
Up 3-1, Konetzni let one game slip, then was in danger of losing another. He scraped a soft changeup just over the net and landed it well in front of Dick -- a perfectly executed shot that sent Dick skidding hopelessly toward the ball on his knees. Konetzni then broke up a string of powerful forehands with a drop shot, a ball Dick hammered back hard into the net to give Konetzni the game and a 4-2 lead.
The freshman closed out the second set in equally thrilling fashion. Playing for the championship point he twice blasted a ball off the top of the net. Dick easily handled the first, then attacked the second with a slick spin and an accurate strike. Dick finally ended the match several returns later with another ball into the net.
"I was trying to stretch him wide, and it worked," Konetzni said. "I was able to stay a lot more consistent and played his game."
Hoschouer and Andy Edwards did it without the theatrics, but their final-round victory wasn't exactly easy. The pair was mired in a 2-2 first set before breaking open for a 6-2 win, then took the first three games of the second set, paving the way to a 6-3 win.
Tuesday's success came after an outstanding performance across the varsity roster Saturday at the Baldwin Invitational.
Both Hoschouer and Edwards and Konetzni cruised their brackets with 5-0 records. Hoschouer won the No. 1 singles division while Konetzni took first in the No. 2 singles. Matt Edwards was third in No. 1 singles.
De Soto's season is coming to an end, but the Cats have two huge meets looming in the next week. De Soto will host its own invitational Saturday, starting at 8:30 a.m. Then the team will play May 4 in the regional tournament for a chance to advance to the Class 4A state meet.

U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/762,553 entitled "Remote-Control System for Large Rooms Having a Reception Range Assigned to Each Receiver" and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/762,845 "Remote-Control System for Large Rooms Having Multiple Decoders Coupled by a Bus" were filed on even date herewith and assigned to the same assignee. The disclosures in these applications are hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates generally to remote-control systems, and more particularly to a remote-control system which permits grouping of transmitters that send wireless messages, and which permits grouping of receiving decoders, which preferably control actuators.
German Patent document No. DE-A-3 803 920 discloses assigning specific transmitting commands in the decoder to specific outputs through programming. The known decoder is set up to learn information words from a given transmission format and, after that, to recognize them again. Infrared signalling is used as the transmitting medium between the transmitter and the decoder.
In building systems engineering, one often needs to selectively trigger various actuators with a single transmitter command, whereby the actuators control devices that are connected at any one time. In addition to lights, such devices can be motors for window shutters or diverse apparatus and devices used in building systems engineering. Also, in particular, one often needs to trigger several actuators with a single transmitter command, so that a grouping results.
The present invention is directed to the problem of developing a remote-control system for large rooms with free grouping.
The present invention solves this problem by means of storage devices, which are programmed as an association table, through which the decoders permit one or more key addresses to be assigned to each received key address. This association table is freely definable and is located on the output of the actuators. The received key address is oriented according to command keys.
According to the selection that is made, when the transmitter sends a key address, one or more of the decoder's outgoing sections can receive it. The association table constitutes a sort of matrix between the outputs of the transmitter and the outputs of the decoder.
Another development consists in that the key addresses, both of the transmitters and also on the output sides of the decoders, work with base addresses. These base addresses, with respect to transmitters and decoders, correlate according to an ordering principle, which results in a specific allocation through the selection of an ordering element. Various transmitters can act thereby on different kinds of outgoing sections by using the same key addresses in the same decoder. Organizing base addresses and key addresses in this way gives one complete freedom in assigning command signals from diverse transmitters to diverse decoder outputs.
It is therefore possible to install devices, and then later on to set up command lines for operating the system and the devices from the individual transmitters. Manually operated components on the transmitter units can be operated in this case in the same way as customary installation switches and regulating units. Many different types of manually operated components are consolidated here under the term "keys". The important thing is the command output that is acquired and its processing.
It is favorable for the key addresses on the output side of the association table to be assigned in each case according to the place value of the bits to the output whose ordinal number corresponds to the place value. In this manner, the allocation can be carried out simply.
The base addresses can be advantageously set on each transmitter, for example by means of a binary coding switch. The setting at the decoder can follow accordingly or be determined by the message.
A straightforward allocation of transmitters to devices or consumers is furthered, when the key address that is addressed on the input side of the decoder is displayed by a pointer.
FIG. 1 illustrates the interaction of messages from the transmitters with the association tables of the decoders and the occupancy of the decoder outputs.
FIG. 2 schematically depicts a transmitter and a decoder with an association table, which is connected by circuit wiring to actuators.
FIG. 3 illustrates a bus connection between a plurality of decoders and a plurality of actuators.
FIG. 4 illustrates a decoder including an association table and a pointer.
FIG. 5 illustrates a remote control system in which decoders are interconnected via a bus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 6 illustrates a remote control system with remote-control reception ranges according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 7 illustrates the conversion of transmitted or received messages in an association table, and the retransmission of commands via a bus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The remote-control system works with transmitters 100, Se1, Se2 and Se3, and with decoders 200. One can compare the association tables 300 of FIG. 1. Infrared light is particularly suited as a transmitting medium for the messages emitted by the transmitters 100, since when provided with appropriate coding, it is not easily susceptible to interference. The infrared signal is emitted by the actual transmitter 400 and received by a receiver 500 according to FIG. 2. The decoders 200, De1, De2, are connected to actuators 600, preferably via a bus 601. While decoders 200 are connected to actuators 600 via bus 601 in FIG. 2, any other connection (such as, for example, discrete circuit wiring) may be used between decoders 200 and actuators 600 according to the present invention. By way of the decoders 200 and their association table 300, predetermined actuators 600 receive the messages output by the transmitter 100. For their part, the predetermined actuators 600 actuate or control installation equipment. In addition to lights, such installation equipment can include many different kinds of devices used in building systems engineering and installation engineering, for example servo-motors, as well as controlling and regulating devices, such as heating systems or burglar-alarm systems. These types of systems can be switched on and off, as well as armed and disabled by the remote-control system.
The decoders 200 have storage devices, which are programmed as association tables 300. One or more key addresses on the output side 800 of the association tables 300 relative to the actuators 600 are able to be assigned by means of the association tables and in a freely definable manner to each received key address of a message, whereby the received key address corresponds to command keys 700.
The transmission of a key address by the transmitter 100 can be received by one out of four outgoing sections 800, "e,f,g,h" as selected, or by several outgoing sections. Thus, in FIG. 1, the outputs "e,f,g,h" are assigned to the incoming side 900 of the association table 300 of the decoder 200 with the identification "De1", and to the input "0" on the output side 800. A key address "a" supplied by the transmitter 100 with the identification "Se2" is received by the outputs "e,f,g,h" in the decoder "De1", as illustrated by the crosses. A decoder 200 designated as "De1" with the association table 300 works with 16 base addresses "BO-B15". In the exemplified embodiment according to FIG. 1, the transmitter 100 designated as "Se2" acts in the case of the decoder 200 designated as "De1" in the base address "BO" upon the inputs "0, 1 and 2", and upon the outputs on the output side 800 with the identifications "e,f,g,h", as well as in the decoder with the identification "De 2"in the base address "BO" upon the inputs "0" and "1". The storage device is not occupied at the input 1, so that none of the four outputs in the example has a relationship with the input 1.
The transmitter 100 designated as "Se3" acts with its key address "a" in the decoder "De1" in the base address "B4" upon the input 12 and the outputs "e,f,g", as well as in the decoder "De 2" in the base address "B4" upon the input "12" and the outputs "e,f,g,h". The key addresses b and c are received by the inputs "13 and 14" and the outputs "f" or "g", respectively. The transmitter 100 designated as "Se1" is to be understood programmably as a double, that is its individual key assignment and its function conform with those of the transmitter "Se2".
In the exemplified embodiment according to FIG. 1, according to the selection made, one or more outgoing sections of the decoders are assigned to receive the transmission of a key address by a transmitter. At the same time, various transmitters with the same key addresses can act upon diverse outgoing sections in the same decoder. As a comparison, one can consider the key address "a" in the transmitter 100 designated as "Se2" and the transmitter "Se3" with the key address "a".
Based on the place value of the bits, in each case the outgoing section, whose ordinal number corresponds to the place value, can be assigned in the association tables on the output side. The base addresses can be set on every transmitter, for example by means of a binary coding switch. The key address that is addressed on the input side can be advantageously displayed by a pointer on the decoder 200. In this connection, one also speaks of indirect addressing.
It is clear that the remote-control system renders possible a free grouping, for example an internal grouping relative to a transmitter, in that namely several outputs of the decoder, as well as groupings which encompass several decoders, receive a key address. In the case of a four-channel system, therefore four keys of a transmitter unit, and sixteen base addresses, as provided by commercial units, one obtains an address space of 4�16=64. A long-term storage device, for example an EEPROM, is particularly suited for the association table.
The programming can proceed as follows: by dividing all necessary control outputs for a specific application by the number of channels, that is four channels in the exemplified embodiment, one obtains the number of required decoders. The number of single functions plus group functions of control outputs yields the total number of keys, which divided by the number of channels yields the minimum number of transmitters. When doubles are desired, the required number of transmitters increases. The transmitters allocate and adjust the base addresses in turn, that is continually. The decoder outputs can be randomly connected up to consumers or to their actuators. It is practical for all of the decoders to have a programming key to get into the learning mode, or else the learning mode can also be initiated by a special message from the transmitter. Each transmitter advantageously has a special key then, for example a so-called ball-point-pen key, which can be operated by the tip of a pen, to deliver messages in order to initiate the learning mode. A lesser energy output is sufficient for these types of messages. One must ensure that no external remote-control signals are emitted in the room during the programming.
The functional sequence of the programming can unfold in particular, for example, in accordance with FIG. 1, as follows: In a first step, the programming key for the learning mode is depressed on the appropriate decoder. In a second step, the key of the transmitter to be programmed in the association table of the decoder is depressed, for example key "c" key c of transmitter "Se2", which causes an entry to be made on the input side 900 of the decoder "De1" under "f". A pointer on the decoder can display the addressed input. Manipulating the key "c" once more by depressing it three times causes the output "f" to be assigned in the association table. This procedure can be repeated three times to leave open those blank locations which should not be occupied. As a result, the four instances of acceptance readiness are used up for the input line. If further outputs have to be assigned, the digits corresponding to the outputs can be occupied by manipulating the keys accordingly. Instead of the description "pointer", in data processing one also speaks of "indirect addressing". Therefore, here the intention is not that one has to visualize a pointer.
Understandably, other methods, which are customarily applied in data processing, are also possible.
In a third step, one can check which output is occupied by quickly depressing the key on the transmitter. This is advantageous in cases where the consumers had already been connected up at random, and the allocation of the installation is undertaken later. In a fourth step, by depressing the key for a longer time, all four outputs can be assigned, so that one allocates all four outputs as a group to this one key address.
In a fifth step, the programming key for the decoder's learning mode is depressed once again, or in the case of a device with special messages, it is sent by the transmitter, so that the decoder returns to the normal mode. After that, the working operation of the installation is possible.
FIG. 3 illustrates a bus 601 connected between a plurality of decoders 200 and a plurality of actuators 600. FIG. 4 illustrates a decoder 200 including an association table 300 and a pointer 301.
Decoders may be used according to an embodiment of the present invention such as the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5. The decoders may be interconnected by a bus, which decoders use collision detection while accessing this bus, and by coding the "ON", "OFF" circuit states in the messages. The entire incoming address, or even a translated address, is transmitted to the interconnected decoder from the specific decoder, which is activated by a valid message. In addition, the active circuit state for the power circuitry is transmitted by the active decoder. Independently of the existing circuit state, the message that is received confirms or requests a specific circuit state, so that it is not possible for the actuators and the associated installation equipment to lose synchronization. Other actuators associated with additional line-connected decoders are controlled simultaneously as a result of the forced synchronization. When a message is recognized by more than one decoder, collision detection prevents a single message from causing more than one decoder to access the bus, which would be disturbing. Thus, when there are two detecting decoders, only the faster decoder transmits to the bus.
The remote-control system illustrated in FIG. 5 works with transmitters 1001 and decoders 1002 in receivers 1003. The decoders 1002 or the receivers 1003 control actuators 1004 or switching elements. In the simplest cast, the actuators 1004 are connected to the receivers 1003 via a bus. The receivers 1003 essentially consist of a preamplifier 1005 for the message received through the transmitting medium, for example infrared light. The decoders 1002 are interconnected by means of a bus 1006. Each decoder has a reception range 1007, in which it can receive messages from transmitters 1001. Of the reception ranges 1007, the reception range Ek and the reception range Ek+1 are depicted in the exemplified embodiment of FIG. 5. These reception ranges 1007 are part of a remote-control system for a large room which has a wall 1008 and organizational room axes 1009. Sensors can also be linked to the interconnected decoders. These sensors can be advantageously designed as triggers and, as desired, at every change in the switch position, transmit an "ON" or "OFF" via the connecting line to the address previously set at the sensor. Actuators on decoders, which are programmed to this address, are then definitely switched.
To be able to lengthen or shorten the line quite easily, it is advantageous to apply isolating points 1010, which can be favorably arranged along organizational room axes. These isolating points can be designed in all sorts of ways, as generally known, when they guarantee the operation of connectors.
The isolating points can also be realized by means of software, by assigning various addresses to the various corresponding room areas. Room-encompassing overlapping functions can be realized by selecting some of the same addresses for several room areas. These same addresses then permit room-encompassing functions for the appropriate room areas.
Since the decoders 1002 are interconnected by a bus 1006, the decoders 1002 access the bus 1006 using well-known collision detection techniques. Additionally, the "ON", "OFF" circuit states of the actuators 1004 are coded so that if some actuators fail to receive a command to change their circuit state, the circuit state of the actuators 1004 is then corrected on the next command. The entire incoming address, or even a translated address, is transmitted to the interconnected decoder 1002 from the specific decoder 1002, which is activated by a valid message. In addition, the active circuit state for the power circuitry is transmitted by the active decoder 1002. Independently of the existing circuit state, the message that is received confirms or requests a specific circuit state, so that it is not possible for the actuators and the associated installation equipment to lose synchronization. Other actuators associated with additional line-connected decoders are controlled simultaneously as a result of the forced synchronization. When a message is recognized by more than one decoder, collision detection prevents a single message from causing more than one decoder 1002 to access the bus 1006. Thus, when there are two detecting decoders 1002, only the faster decoder 1002 transmits to the bus 1006.
The connecting line can be a bus conductor or, depending on the application case, it can also be a single conductor with a ground return line. The bus can advantageously be designed so that it is capable of being separated or extended along organizational room axes by means of isolating points having the operating characteristics of plug-and-socket connectors. The remote-control system can then be easily adapted to organizational changes, newly added walls, or to the new conditions which exist when walls have to be removed.
FIG. 6 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention using transmitters transmitting a message to decoders coupled to the actuators. The message is composed of a receiver address and a function command for each decoder or transmitter and the decoders control the actuators. At least one of the decoders is capable of receiving the message and sending the message to the decoder to which the message is addressed. That decoder then controls the actuators based upon the message. The transmitters work individually or in combinations with one or more of the decoders by means of suitable addressing techniques. A reception range is associated with each decoder, which range may be more or less spherical. When the reception range is projected on a plane of the decoders, the reception range is a circular area. The reception range is determined by characteristics of the transmitters and decoders, the transmitter-decoder capacity, as well as the receiving conditions such as noise. Each reception range has a unique receiver address which is not repeated within a clearance distance, which is a multiple of the reception range.
The receiver address combined with function commands constitutes the message from a transmitter to a decoder. Functions are power circuitry actions that are started individually or in groups by means of a transmitter key. Since every receiver address repeats itself only after a clearance distance, which is expressed as a multiple of reception ranges, the receiver address is only repeated when it is unlikely that two receivers with the same receiver address will receive the transmission.
The remote-control system makes it possible to programmably operate specific decoders, and thus operate assignable actuators and devices, without having to specially align transmitters and given reception ranges which vary because of factors which temporarily change the transmission characteristics. The addresses for the decoders can be easily changed when organizational or spatial changes are made. To prevent unintentional reception, the addresses are only repeated after a clearance distance corresponding to the maximum transmission length of a transmitter under extreme conditions.
The function commands for each decoder or transmitter are advantageously composed of base addresses and key addresses, which are assigned to manually operated components. In the case of commercially available devices, it is advantageous to work with sixteen base addresses and four key addresses. The functions can be programmed by means of coding switches or coding keys. In a basic transmitter with a four-channel system and sixteen functions per channel, 64 functions are possible. These can be divided into sixteen base addresses, whereby each base address in turn contains four other addresses, which can be assigned to four keys of a hand-held or wall-mounted transmitter. Another way to express this is that a transmitter includes two binary coded switches with sixteen positions.
According to another development of the present invention, the decoders feature a storage device between their receiver and their output. Functioning as an association table, this storage device assigns the received address to actuators, which are connected via a bus to the output of the decoder. This association is totally programmable. In this case, the decoders can be interconnected in a matrix-type arrangement through buses and be linked through extended buses to actuators. By means of the storage device which is used as an association table, one can easily select and change how the actuators are controlled.
According to another development of the present invention, superimposed special functions can also be achieved using the customary installed transmitters to operate the installation, and without the application of special transmitters with special channels and programs. To this end, addresses or areas for special functions are reserved in the message, preferably in the base address. Each reserved address is to be committed in the association table of any one of the decoders to control the same actuators. The decoders are connected between themselves at their outputs and to the inputs of the actuators through buses. In addition, the association table can be freely occupied with the functions. The top four base addresses are advantageously reserved for special functions. By means of the special functions, "porter transmitters" are able to be set up, and switching and control commands for specific actuators can be output from any one of the transmitters. In this manner, special functions make it possible for a transmitter to be effective into every range of the large room, whereby it is unimportant which decoder or which group of decoders pick up the transmitter.
In most commercially available units, the clearance distance is advantageously selected to equal four reception ranges in each coordinate direction. An address system for sixteen reception ranges results. With 64 functions, sixteen reception ranges result in 1024 addresses. When infrared signalling is used as a transmitting medium, a ten-bit address must be provided in the infrared message. The storage device for an association table, e.g. an EEPROM, must then contain a quantity of 64+1 storage locations, since the address of the reception range can be filed in one single address. The diagonal distance between the center points of the reception ranges is advantageously selected to be equal in size to the diameter of the reception ranges. In this manner, the distance between the center points can be adapted to the three-dimensional grid system of a building and, at the same time, ensure that the surface of a grid unit can be supplied by one single reception range. In view of existing commercial units and grid systems in buildings, the distance between the center points of the reception ranges is advantageously fixed at 12 meters. The radius of a reception range is then one half the square root of the sum of the squares of the distance. ##EQU1## Thus, for a 12 meter distance between center points, the reception range is ##EQU2## With sixteen reception ranges, therefore four reception ranges for every assumed coordinate axis, a clearance distance of four times twelve meters results, thus 48 meters. Accordingly, the addressing technique can be repeated for other neighboring reception ranges.
The remote-control system according to FIG. 6 works with transmitters 1101, which work individually or in combination with one or more decoders 1102 by means of suitable addressing techniques. The decoders 1102 control actuators 1125. One should visualize these actuators 1125 as being connected through extensions and branches 1126 of a bus 1107 to the associated decoders 1102. A reception range 1103 is assigned to each decoder 1102, which reception range is approximately spherical. A circular area results when projected on a plane in which the decoders 1102 are arranged. The reception range 1103 is determined by the characteristics of the transmitters 1101 and decoders 1102, the transmitter-receiver capacity, as well as by the receiving conditions, such as reception noise. Each reception range 1103 has its own receiver address assigned to it (see FIG. 7). This receiver address 1112 combined with function commands 1113 constitutes the message 1104 from a transmitter 1101 to a decoder 1102. In the exemplified embodiment according to FIG. 6, 4�4=16 decoders 1102 with their reception ranges 1103 are arranged in the corner of an industrial shop. The decoders 1102 can be mounted on the ceiling or on a hung false ceiling. The transmitters 1101 can be designed as well-mounted transmitter units, as illustrated on the left side of the shop floor plan, or otherwise installed at a location which is directly or indirectly accessible for manual operation, as illustrated in the floor-plan view by the transmitter 1101 in the upper left of FIG. 6. The building outer walls 1105 in the shop limit the effectiveness of the reception ranges 1103 near the walls.
Under extreme conditions, a transmitter 1101 can have a very large range 1106, which is supposed to lie within the detecting range of the decoder 1102 of an address system. The decoders 1102 are advantageously arranged, so that the distance between the center points of the reception ranges 1103 (in a diagonal direction) is equal in size to the diameter of the reception ranges. When the distance 1108 between the center points of the reception ranges 1103 amounts to twelve meters, a room grid system results, whose space axes 1109 are likewise spaced apart by twelve meters. In this case, the smallest spatial unit marginated by space axes can be supplied by a reception range 1103. Here, the decoder 1102 is spaced from the sides of the grid unit by half of a distance 1108 between the center points of the reception ranges, therefore by the distance 1110. Thus in the exemplified embodiment of the present invention, the distance 1110 equals six meters. This also corresponds to the distance from the space axes 1109.
The decoders 1102 are preferably connected among themselves in a grid-type arrangement through a bus 1107, which leads through extensions and branchings 1126 to connected actuators 1125.
According to FIG. 7, a message 1104, which is transmitted by a transmitter 1101, is forwarded to a decoder 1102 of an address system with the association table 1111, or rather transmitted through infrared signalling. The message 1104 is composed of a receiver address 1112, designated as Ek, and of function commands 1113, which in turn are composed of base addresses 1114, designated as Bm, and of key addresses 1115, designated as Ta. In a variant which is favorable for transmitters and receivers customarily used today, the message 1104 features sixteen receiver addresses 1112 of an address system and 64 functions consisting of sixteen base addresses 1114 and four key addresses 1115. In the storage device serving as an association table 1111, the desired actuators are assigned to the functions 1113. This takes place in a function matrix 1116. Addresses of the base addresses 1114 are reserved for special functions in a special function matrix 1117. By means of the special function matrix 1117, which conforms at least with all the decoders of one address system, a specific actuator or a specific group of actuators, and thus the assigned device, can be loaded or switched by any one of the transmitters of the system. To this end, it is necessary for the decoders 1102 of one address system to all be connected to one another through buss 1122 and to the actuators 1125. A specific decoder 1102 is physically assigned to a receiver address 1112 in the receiver address matrix 1118.
The evaluation can be made effectively, in that a decision routine 1119 queries if the received receiver address 1112 conforms with the receiver address of the decoder 1102, that is to say with the corresponding reception range 1103. When this is confirmed by a "yes" decision, the transmission of the function commands 1120 to the bus line is released. When the decision routine 1119 leads to a "no" result, a subsequent decision routine 1121 tests if a special function is at hand. When the answer is "yes", the transmission of the function commands 1120 to the bus line, in this case the special functions, is released. When the answer is "no", the transmission is not released, since the receiving decoder with its reception range is not supposed to be addressed by the transmitted message.

Please Help! My nails appear to be very healthy and normal. I've always had (& still do) stong nails. For several years now though I've had a pain in my right hand thumb. If I bump it or someone lightly touches it I have a tremendous pain shoot through it. The pain is isolated at the back corner of the nail. I believe the "matrix". I have no swelling or redness. Everthing looks normal. I did drop something on it about 15 years ago (I lost the nail)but this pain has only been happening about 3 years. My other fingernails have been a little more sensitive too but not to the same extent as my thumb. Anyone ever experience this sort of pain? Please help.

Among bills stacked on the governor's desk awaiting his signature or veto by the Sunday deadline is one that would authorize a feasibility study for a California State University campus in Chula Vista.
The bill by Assemblyman Marty Block, D-San Diego, would look at capacity at other CSU campuses, demographic demand in the South County and financing. The study, to be done without state expense, probably would take 12 months and cost around $200,000.
This should be an easy decision for the governor: sign the bill. That would allow Block and Democratic co-authors Mary Salas, Lori Saldana and Fiona Ma to lead the effort to secure private donations.
There is no four-year university in the South County, despite its half-million population. Chula Vista is acquiring 375 acres for a campus in a deal with developers. The city spent 16 years seeking a University of California branch, an approach no longer practical. Its best options now appear to be the CSU system or recruiting a private university.
Chula Vista is about to do its own study, but with a different emphasis. That four-month study would look at 10 criteria, including demographics, regional corporate support and how other cities have attracted universities.
The need for a South County university seems obvious to those who live here. But university administrators require hard facts on which to base business decisions.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, himself a product of one of California's two-year community colleges, can and should fill that information void with a simple signature.

Paterson's City Council has voted down a state of emergency resolution aimed at seeking additional state aid to curb street violence.
Tuesday's 6-2 vote followed comments from Gov. Chris Christie that the northern New Jersey city wasn't managing its finances. Officials may request transitional aid.
Paterson receives $21 million from the state.
The city had more than 100 shootings last year when it laid off 125 police officers.
Paterson drew criticism after it paid overtime to Mayor Jeffery Jones and other salaried officials for their work responding to Tropical Storm Irene last year.

(12 quotes found)
"You don't want to get rid of your experiences, because they're your experiences - good or bad - and you need them, but it would be great if they weren't on the video shelf!"
"It was really nice working with her, ... She's a very sweet little girl. We had a lot of rehearsal time together. When we were just getting to know each other she would tell me stories about her dog and her grandma before we got on with doing scenes together. She worked really hard but seemed to enjoy it. I hope we didn't torture her too much."
"By some beautiful twist of fate I've landed in this vocation that demands that I feel and helps me to learn, ... No film has moved or taught me more than 'A Beautiful Mind.' "
"I thought it was brave of Walter to allow the protagonist of the film to do things that she wishes she hadn't done. It happens. You make mistakes as a parent. Then you wish you hadn't said that, or you wish you hadn't told them how to dress. You cringe."
"I was drawn to them both for similar reasons, ... They're both complicated characters who are struggling with their lives. People say that Marion, the girl I played in Requiem for a Dream , was pretty dark, too, so I guess I should be careful. I tend to get offered a lot of drug-addict parts, women on the verge, so I think I'm going to do a comedy next time."

Key demographics supported opening in Ahwatukee including: population, income, education, profession, home ownership, median age, projected growth and an active community that places a high value on physical fitness - the perfect demographics for hot yoga. Coupled with the fact that there was not a yoga studio in the area made Ahwatukee my first choice.
Q: How did you get the idea to open your business?
Opening a yoga studio is something I've aspired to do for several years. Once I left the corporate world, I wanted to do something on my own that I was passionate about. Bringing this amazing practice to a community that would embrace the benefits was very appealing both personally and professionally.
Q: What type of merchandise/services do you sell?
We are a service business. We sell yoga class packages and memberships. We also sell accessories such as yoga mats; yogi toes mat-sized towels and hand towels, stainless steel water bottles, and coconut water to replace electrolytes lost in the detoxification process.
Q: What does your business offer that no one else does?
We offer a beautiful and spacious studio with a yoga room larger than 1,100 square feet. We combine 101 degrees with 50 percent humidity to create a healing environment for practicing yoga. All of our instructors are certified yoga teachers. Our yoga is designed for all ability levels; from first day beginners to advanced students. We are the only yoga studio in Phoenix that offers a filtered water station delivering clean, chilled water for filling reusable water bottles at no additional charge. We have a spacious lobby and restrooms with ample room for changing and full-sized showers for rinsing after class.
Q: How have residents of the community responded to your business?
The residents of Ahwatukee have responded very enthusiastically. More than 600 people have practiced hot yoga at our studio since opening on March 27, 2010. New students enroll daily.
Q: What does your business have in store for the future?
Clients can look forward to more classes, new teachers, special workshops and an evolving yoga practice that offers variations to continuously challenge the body, keeping the practice exciting and helping students reach their personal goals.
Q: Anything else you want the community to know about you or your business?
We offer new students an easy way to try hot yoga. For only $25, new students can take as many classes as they want in a two-week period. They can then enjoy a 20 percent discount on any class package if purchased before their two-week trial ends.

Mary Katherine Goddard
Mary Katherine Goddard (1738–1816) was the printer of the first copy of the Declaration of Independence to include the names of the signers in January 1777. Goddard was also the editor and publisher of various Revolutionary-era colonial newspapers, an unusual occupation for a woman at the time. Goddard was appointed postmaster of Baltimore of 1775, likely making her the first woman to hold that position anywhere in America. In 1789, however, she was replaced by a male colleague despite protests by the citizens of Baltimore.
