August 11, 2005
Nearly four years after 9/11 and after spending $20 billion since 2001, the public health system is unprepared to respond to a bioterror attack, says USA Today.
Among the most alarming gaps are slow delivery, vaccine shortages, delayed counter-measures and unprotected workers, says USA Today:
- The federal government has stockpiled large quantities of antibiotics, including those to treat anthrax exposure, but, no city has a workable plan to get supplies to the public fast enough to be effective.
- The government has orders out to stockpile just 5 million doses of anthrax vaccine -- less than what would be needed to protect even the citizens of New York City.
- Protecting against nuclear terrorism is a top priority, yet Health and Human Services (HHS) has not sought bids from drug companies to provide medical counter-measures, for instance, to treat one of the major threats, radiation sickness.
Moreover, millions of doses of smallpox vaccines are in the federal government's secured warehouses -- a good start, but the nation's effort to vaccinate health care workers so they can quickly deal with an epidemic fell far short of its goal; only 38,000 people --instead of a projected half-million -- were inoculated against smallpox in a program that began two years ago.
Officials at Health and Human Services, which sits atop a sprawling network of federal and local agencies that deal with public health, say the nation has taken giant steps in preparedness since 2001. The problem, they say, is more complex than anyone imagined.
No doubt it is, but four years into the war on terrorism, those officials increasingly sound like football coaches who excuse loss after loss by talking about how tough the opposition is, says USA Today.

Silk and soap settle a century-old flap
For more than 120 years, the English physicist Lord Rayleigh has had the last word on why flags flap in the breeze. A keen observer who figured out how the scattering of light makes the sky blue, Rayleigh attributed flag flutter to the interplay between deformations of a flag's surface and subtle gusting of the wind. Because the tiniest ripples in the flag and puffs of wind end up amplifying each other, even a smooth, or so-called laminar, wind inevitably causes the larger motions of flags, he reasoned.

Vertical Integration In Agriculture And Contract Farming
It has been widely argued recently that agriculture is undergoing a process of vertical integration with allied industries. One of the worldwide ways of vertical integration in agriculture is contract farming. Contract farming is a continually evolving process. Worldwide applications of contract farming have shown that the terms of contracts are shaped by their own conditions and varied from product to product. Also, each country has its own experiences. Contract farming has many advantages for both producers/growers and integrators, besides some inherent disadvantages and failures regarding its implementation. Some measures, however, could be taken to outweigh these advantages for both sides. In this study, first of all, a brief history is presented along with an explanation of contract farming concepts. Secondly, the reasons behind contract farming are discussed. And, successes and failures of contract farming are analyzed based on several research works and articles. Finally a simplified model is presented for the success of private contractual arrangements in the light of evidence taken from the experiences on the world.

text: Overview By Mayo Clinic Staff Print A urine microalbumin test is a test to detect very small levels of a blood protein (albumin) in your urine. A microalbumin test is used to detect early signs of kidney damage in people who are at risk of developing kidney disease. Healthy kidneys filter waste from your blood and hang on to the healthy components, including proteins such as albumin. Kidney damage can cause proteins to leak through your kidneys and exit your body in your urine. Albumin (al-BYOO-min) is one of the first proteins to leak when kidneys become damaged. Microalbumin tests are recommended for people with an increased risk of kidney disease, such as those with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.

San Diego County supervisors Tuesday unanimously agreed to study a potentially $15 million to $50 million idea of buying up to 50 firetrucks that could be placed strategically around the county and used in disasters such as the recent firestorms.
The idea was proposed by Supervisors Ron Roberts and Bill Horn, who said they heard from several fire chiefs, including city of San Diego Chief Tracy Jarman, that hundreds of off-duty firefighters weren't able to help fight the October firestorms because there weren't enough firetrucks. Horn and Roberts hope the county might be able to tap state and federal funds for the purchase.
Jarman could not be reached for comment Tuesday afternoon. But city spokesman Maurice Luque said in a telephone interview that only 420 of the city's "900-plus" personnel were fighting fires at the height of the blazes because there were no firetrucks available in the city or unincorporated county.
One source Horn credited with telling him about the engine shortage was Carlsbad fire Chief Kevin Crawford. Crawford said by telephone Tuesday that he was told anecdotally by several fire chiefs, in cities and the backcountry, that they had firefighters sitting on the sideline because there weren't enough engines.
Meanwhile, supervisors said they supported looking into the firetruck idea because they wanted to weigh all ideas to improve fire protection in the wake of the 2003 and 2007 firestorms. Chief Administrative Officer Walt Ekard was given 90 days to investigate and report back to the board.
But despite the unanimous vote, the proposal still raised questions.
Supervisor Dianne Jacob, and a handful of fire chiefs who attended Tuesday's Board of Supervisors meeting, said they supported the firetruck idea as long as the supervisors supported a long-discussed plan to merge some rural fire agencies.
Proponents of that plan say it, and subsequent mergers of backcountry agencies, would improve fire protection by unifying command, training and communication, and by giving merged agencies more financial clout to buy equipment.
A week ago, a state agency that had worked on the merger plan for two years passed off the $13.7 million-a-year question of how to fund that seven-agency consolidation to supervisors - who are expected to consider it next year.
Asked after the meeting if the firetruck proposal could undercut the fire merger's funding questions, Jacob said, "You don't want to buy furniture before you buy a house. The house is the consolidation plan."
Supervisor Pam Slater-Price suggested that voters around the county may be eventually asked to foot the bill for the firetruck, fire merger and other firefighting improvement ideas.
Supervisor Greg Cox was the harshest critic.
"I can't imagine any fire chief not telling us to buy more fire engines," he said. "That's something, I think, that is pretty predictable. But whether that is the best investment, or whether fire engines should sit idly waiting for a big disaster and not put into service, are still questions in my mind."
Under the proposal, the county would buy up to 50 fire engines that would be housed at existing fire stations and other facilities in cities and the backcountry, and be under command of some undetermined regional entity.
The fleet would basically be available to be used when large disasters strike the county. Roberts said they could be bought with state money, federal Homeland Security grants, or perhaps through a parcel tax approved by voters.
Roberts said the state and federal governments actually own 51 percent of the land in San Diego County, and should be spending more to support fire protection.
However, county officials said the state is predicting it will have a $10 billion to $12 billion budget deficit in 2008.
Whether the supervisors themselves would be willing to pick up the tab for the program is an open question. Although supervisors have spent about $117 million since the 2003 firestorms to upgrade regional communications systems, buy three firefighting helicopters and other measures, the county stopped providing fire protection in the rural backcountry in the 1970s.
Board members decided to start paying for some annual fire protection after the 2003 fires, but are now spending about $8.5 million a year.
City of San Diego officials, meanwhile, rejected the idea that the city should buy more engines since it had more personnel than equipment.
"Where do the fires start?" Luque asked. "In the country. And where do they end up? In the city. They don't start in the city and burn into the county. It's only responsible that this is approached in a regional manner."

My choice in becoming a tutor comes from a lifelong love of learning and teaching, particularly in the math and science areas. I have a decade of experience in biotechnology and laboratory management. I trained scores of entry level technicians to understand and perform highly technical processes, and nurses and genetic counselors to better communicate the results of genetic testing to their patients. During my years in this industry I always found myself naturally gravitating toward the educational aspects of my job. I loved training new employees and helping position them for successful careers. I have been blessed with the unique skill of being able to communicate difficult concepts in an easy to understand and fun way.
In addition, I absolutely LOVE math. Excelling at math opens so many doors for students and gives them the self confidence to believe they can achieve what they want. It teaches them to think clearly and analytically. Too often, however, we hear of students who start off doing well in math in elementary school, only to experience falling grades and a loss of interest at the middle or high school levels. I believe very strongly that this decline in grades and/or interest is due mainly to small gaps in their learning that, over the early years of school, create a weak foundation in their understanding. My job will be to identify those gaps and help your student fill them in while continuing to stay on track with his/her classwork. I will make sure to coordinate my tutoring efforts with the classroom teacher.
Students learn best when they are in a safe and caring environment. At some point in their schooling they may encounter a teacher that they can't connect with, or may feel intimidated to ask questions. From experience, I know that these types of issues can sometimes cause a great deal of stress at home. Having raised two children in my local public school system I found some great ways to resolve these issues that brought peace back into our home, and I would love to share them with you. I also provide the parents with regular feedback on their student's progress.
I offer a free consultation where we can meet to discuss your student's needs, your goals for them, and work out details such as schedules and meeting location.
I look forward to hearing from you and helping your child achieve success in math!

What can I say-but Marga has been an amazing asset for our family!!! We started looking for a tutor for our senior, who was struggling with Algebra 2, as we wanted to ensure she graduated on time. We found Marga through WyzAnt and our experience has been amazing!! Marga has worked with our daughter for the last several months and with her assistance, my daughter has not only passed her Algebra 2, but has passed with an A. And more importantly, will be graduating on time.
Marga exhibits consistency, patience, excellent communication skills, as well as being very personable. She has instilled confidence in my daughter that has not only impacted her math grade, but her other grades as well. My daughter is very proud of her accomplishments, an emotion that she doesn't always feel.
Hands down, would recommend Marga to anyone in need of assistance in the math discipline. I can't thank her enough for the work she has done with our daughter.
My daughter loves having Marga as a tutor and looks forward to her session every week. She can't wait to tell me how awesome it is after each visit, including excitement for what they are working on learning. I couldn't ask for a more positive tutoring experience!
Marga knows the material and she makes good use of time. She also connects with her students and is patient and kind! She is an excellent tutor. I am so glad we found her for SAT prep.
Marga is helping my daughter in Geometry. Thanks to her help my daughter feels like she may actually get somewhere.
So thankful to Marga. She found out what my daughter needed and responded with simple to learn methodology with many examples. Now she feels confidant and is hungry for more.
My daughter had many tutors over the last few years and none have even come close to Marga. She knows my child is a visual learner and teaches her in a way my daughter can understand. Her grade significantly improved and I am so grateful to have found Marga! To see the confidence my daughter now has not only in math but in general is amazing.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
The math section of the ACT test is a one-hour test with sixty questions. It requires less reading comprehension than it's SAT counterpart, but it does have more trigonometry. I start off by giving my students a full, timed ACT math practice test. This helps me to determine which areas need more practice and if there are any test anxiety issues. I also love helping my students find time-saving ways to move through the test more quickly and confidently come exam time.
Algebra 1 is one of my favorite subjects. It's often referred to as a "gatekeeper" subject, meaning it opens doors for the student to higher levels of math. Algebra 1 is a language we use to describe patterns in a very simple manner. It's a beautiful shorthand that allows us to perform repetitive processes or calculations in one easy step!
In algebra 2 the student learns advanced algebraic tools and how to apply them to the world around us. New topics are introduced in algebra 2, such as logarithms, conic sections, matrices, and imaginary and complex numbers. These advanced topics are so much fun to learn, but they take more focus and concentration on the student's part. My approach to teaching algebra 2 is to show the student how the formulas are derived, rather than just how to plug numbers into them. In this way, the student comes away with greater confidence and success in solving the problems.
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, and a Ph.D. in Genetics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During my 12 years working in biotech, I performed testing for hereditary cancers in a clinical lab setting and ended up managing several laboratories. I set up the training programs for new lab staff and was the one chosen to translate laboratory operations between the scientific departments of the company and the business development/sales and marketing departments. I also attended many national and some international biotech conferences where I presented abstracts, workshops, and seminars.
Through geometry, we learn to describe and measure the size, shape and position of figures in space. This is the branch of math where the student learns to think and visualize objects in three dimensions. It's a whole different animal than algebra, so some students struggle with this shift in their thinking process.
Pre-calculus consists of the subjects and skills needed to understand calculus. It involves algebra, trigonometry, coordinate geometry, and lots and lots of functions. Having a strong foundation in pre-calculus is crucial for mastering the fundamentals of calculus. I tutor pre-calculus at both the high school and community college level.
The math section of the new SAT consists of two sections, a 25 minute, 20 question section where a calculator is not allowed, and a 55 minute, 38 question section where calculators are allowed. I start off by giving my student a full, timed, practice SAT math test. The results of this practice test helps me to determine which concepts need improvement and whether there are any test taking anxiety issues. I also love teaching my students time saving strategies to help them move through the problems more quickly and confidently!
Trigonometry is a very interesting branch of mathematics that's used in astronomy and navigation. With it we can find relationships between the angles and sides of a triangle. It requires some memorization in the beginning, but once that's achieved it's easy to solve the problems in a simple and logical manner.

Marquardt Spelling Variations
Marquardt Spelling Variations
Many cultural groups lived in the German states in medieval times. Each had its own dialect and traditions, and unique variations of popular names. Low German, which is similar to contemporary Dutch, was spoken in Westphalia. German names are characterized by additions such as regional suffixes and phrases that tell something about the origin or background of its original bearer. Further contributing to the variation in German names was the fact that there were no spelling rules in medieval times: scribes recorded names according to their sound. The recorded spelling variations of Marquardt include Marquard, Marquart, Marquarde, Marquardes, Marquards, Marquarte, Marquartes, Marquartts, Marquardds, Marquardt, Markard, Markhard and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
The state of Prussia was a great influence on the shape of modern Germany. After the Second World War, Prussia's land was divided among the Soviet Union, Poland, East Germany and West Germany and the state was abolished. Some Prussians remained in those countries after the war, while many others migrated to North America in search of a new start. Philadelphia was their primary point of entry to the United States, after which many of them moved on to Ohio, Texas, Illinois, California, New York, and Maryland. A large number of Prussians also migrated to Ontario and the prairie provinces as United Empire Loyalists. Analysis of immigration records has shown some of the first Marquardts to arrive in North America, and among them were:

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Fortitudine et fidelitate
Motto Translation: By fortitude and fidelity.

The passion of Shaw's fair ladies
When young Irish actress Charlie Murphy makes her Abbey debut this week, as the Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle, she will be stepping into one of the most illustrious women's roles of the 20th century.
Eliza made her debut almost a hundred years ago, in the play Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw, the Nobel-winning playwright from inner-city Dublin. She was played by Mrs Patrick Campbell -- an actress whose fame was as great as her name was unlikely, and who was controversially embroiled in a dramatic (though unusual) affair with the playwright. Then, in 1956, Eliza made another dramatic entrance -- but this time she was singing.
Julie Andrews made the role her own in the Broadway musical version of Shaw's play. Or so she thought. My Fair Lady became the longest-running musical ever (at that time), but when Jack Warner, of the Hollywood studio Warner Bros, decided to make the film, he rejected Andrews for Audrey Hepburn.
"Julie Andrews was just a Broadway name," he later explained. "But in Clinton, Iowa, and Anchorage, Alaska, and thousands of other cities and towns in our 50 states and abroad, you can say 'Audrey Hepburn' and people instantly know you're talking about a beautiful and talented star. In my business I have to know who brings people and their money to a movie- theatre box office."
His logic acquired an unintended irony at the 1964 Academy Awards. My Fair Lady (almost) swept the boards, taking eight Oscars out of 12 nominations. But there was one category in which the film was notably absent: Hepburn wasn't even nominated.
(Hepburn, who had sung her own songs in Breakfast at Tiffany's, didn't have the vocal range for Eliza Doolittle; instead, she lip-synced to soprano Marni Nixon, who was known as the "Ghostess with the Mostess" for her dubbing of Hollywood's leading ladies.)
The Best Actress gong that year went to none other than Julie Andrews -- for Mary Poppins, which Andrews had been offered after losing out in My Fair Lady.
"My thanks to the man who made all this possible in the first place," she said, accepting her Oscar, "Mr Jack Warner."
The man who made it all possible in the very first place was George Bernard Shaw, an Irishman of Protestant stock who had found fame and fortune as a writer in fin de siècle London, where he was known by his byline, GBS.
Shaw seems to have been unfairly neglected by contemporary Irish culture. (This is the first ever production of Pygmalion at the Abbey; at the National Theatre in London, however, it was staged in both 1992 and 1999.)
Like WB Yeats, he was a Nobel winner; like Oscar Wilde, he was a London celebrity and star playwright. He was almost as eccentric as Yeats, and as consumed by hidden passions as Wilde, and yet the image that persists is of an austere intellectual.
He was certainly an intellectual, and an extraordinarily prolific one: he wrote over 60 plays, and his collected prefaces alone run to almost 1,000 pages. And there was a degree of wilful austerity about him: he was a vegetarian in the earliest years of that movement; he only ever wore wool; and he was a late sexual developer (he lost his virginity at 29) whose marriage was apparently chaste.
Further, like Sam Beckett and Harold Pinter, Shaw has been ill served by the coining of an adjective out of his surname. Both "Beckettian" and "Pinteresque" are now lazy terms to describe absurdity and ominous silences; "Shavian" (which was originally the less obscure "Shawian") is of even less use, as Shaw's work was so diverse as to make any attempt to describe it in a word meaningless.
(An early, more functional use of "Shavian" was as a euphemism: when Eliza Doolittle roared "Not bloody likely!" in Pygmalion, audiences were so shocked at the use of the word "bloody" on stage that it was referred to as "the Shavian adjective".)
Yet the Shaw that wrote Pygmalion was a man consumed by great passion, and animated by wit and a surprisingly daredevil recklessness. He was then 55, and had been married for 14 years to Charlotte Frances. Their relationship is thought to have been one of companionship, not sexual; yet Shaw was reluctant to have sexual affairs.
Instead, he indulged in intense romances that were consummated on the page, and he often showed Charlotte the love letters he received. One of these correspondents was a young stalker who Shaw had unwisely indulged: Erica Cotterill, a 20-something who had fallen in love with the playwright through his plays, and then with the man, through his letters.
She wrote brilliant but wild love letters to him, visited his home unannounced and, when he met her, in order to persuade her of her folly, she attempted to force herself upon him.
"What would have come if you have not held me back and I had knelt down to you?" she later wrote to him. "Would you have laughed then? Would you have felt nothing of what was in me flooding round you?" (These quotes are from Michael Holroyd's magnificent biography of Shaw.)
Whatever Shaw felt, Charlotte felt it was time to intervene: she wrote to Erica and barred her from seeing her husband, with apparent effect.
Shaw would later know how Erica had felt, however, when he wrote Pygmalion for the leading actress of the day, Mrs Patrick Campbell. Shaw had conceived of a play about her as a Cockney flower girl years before. By the time he wrote it, she was far too old for the part, at 47. But she was the doyenne of the West End, and Shaw could conceive of no one else in the role.
He invited her to a private reading, and she immediately recognised that the role was meant for her. She wrote to Shaw the next day, thanking him for "thinking I can be your pretty slut". They met to discuss it, and Mrs Pat took his hand and placed his fingers on her bosom. Shaw was instantly "violently and exquisitely in love".
"I did not believe that I had that left in me," he wrote to her, later. But he wasn't, it seems, talking about sex: he was talking about a teenage-type infatuation. Again, he showed his letters to his new "lover" to his wife. "My love affairs are her unfailing amusement," he explained to Mrs Pat.
Mrs Pat was, in fact, Stella Tanner. At 20, she had become pregnant by a Patrick Campbell, and they had duly married. Shortly afterwards, Campbell high-tailed it off to Australia, in search of his fortune, leaving his wife in London with two young children. By the time he returned, eight years later, she was an acclaimed West End actress (using his name). He left again, and this time was killed in the Boer War.
Despite her relative freedom, and Shaw's evident desire, they never consummated their relationship. Eventually, Mrs Pat told Shaw she intended to marry another man, one who was prepared to divorce his wife for her, and she rather brutally cut Shaw off. He was devastated, and found his early bias against romance reinforced.
"The quantity of love that an ordinary person can stand without serious damage is about 10 minutes in 50 years," he wrote, later.
The conflict between romance and cynicism has direct expression in the final scenes of Pygmalion and of My Fair Lady. Shaw was determined that the ending not be a "happy ever after" one; the producers on the West End, and later in Hollywood, were equally determined it would. When Shaw visited the production on its 100th performance, he found the actor-manager, Herbert Beerbohm Tree, who was playing Henry Higgins, had changed the final scene.
"My ending makes money, you ought to be grateful," argued Tree. "Your ending is damnable; you ought to be shot."
Which brings a nice touch of suspense to this new production at the Abbey: the story may be much loved, but who knows quite how it will end?

Report: Clinic owner injected A-Rod
New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez was injected with PEDs at his home by Anthony Bosch, the owner of south Florida anti-aging clinic Biogenesis of America, according to a report on ESPN.com.
Rodriguez is one of seven baseball players linked to the clinic — which allegedly sold performance-enhancing drugs — in a report published Monday by the newspaper Miami New Times.
According to the ESPN report, Bosch visited Rodriguez's home every few weeks, and Bosch's handling of the 37-year-old Yankees star was more hands-on than the treatment of the other athletes who were allegedly customers.
Those other players, the report says, used intermediaries to transport the PEDs.
A source reportedly said that Bosch told associates he had been kicked out of Rodriguez's home last spring after he had trouble locating a vein, which upset the All-Star third baseman.
"Tony said A-Rod was pissed at him," a source said in the ESPN report. "He said he was bleeding everywhere."
According to the report, several sources anonymously said that Bosch spoke openly about his relationship with Rodriguez. Two sources said they reviewed documents that detailed Rodriguez's drug regimens and schedules.
Rodriguez and Bosch have each denied that there is any truth the the New Times report. After the most recent report on Friday, a spokesperson for Rodriguez again issued a denial, saying "the allegations are not true."
Rodriguez admitted in 2009 to using performance-enhancing drugs in response to a Sports Illustrated report that said he had tested positive six years earlier. But he said then that he only used PEDs in a specific period from '01 to '03 — before he joined the Yankees, before baseball enacted steroid testing.
The New Times article also named Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Melky Cabrera, Oakland A's pitcher Bartolo Colon, Texas Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz, Washington Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez, San Diego Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal and Cesar Carrillo, who pitched for the Padres in 2009 and finished last season in the Detroit Tigers organization.
Cabrera, Colon and Grandal were all suspended for 50 games after violating MLB's drug policy last season.

Paris, May 13 (Reuters): Workers throughout France staged strikes against government plans to overhaul the state pension system today, crippling air and rail traffic and forcing schools to close in the biggest protest for years.
Aviation officials estimated that four in five flights were grounded while state railway company SNCF cancelled two-thirds of its mainline services as workers left their jobs to join over 100 so-called Black Tuesday demonstrations across France.
Kiosks were bare as newspaper distribution was paralysed and the country suffered a 10 per cent loss in electricity output as power workers joined protests against the governments plan to make people pay more and longer into pension schemes.
However, car firms Renault and PSA Peugeot Citroen targeted by unions to get private sector workers to join protesters from the public sector reported no major impact on their output as the protests there appeared patchy.
The strike turn-out could decide whether Centre-Right Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin pushes ahead with the reforms, waters them down or ditches them as President Jacques Chiracs last conservative government did after a wave of unrest in 1995.
This is an important day of course, but also a new chance for us to explain, explain, explain, government spokesman Jean-Francois Cope said after Raffarin met ministers.
Today, no one contests the necessity of reforms, said civil service minister Jean-Paul Delevoye, echoing Raffarins view that France is ready for painful welfare and labour reforms made by countries like Britain in the 1980s.
Raffarins popularity appears unbruised by the dispute, with a poll on the daily Liberations website today putting his support at 51 per cent up one percentage point from April.

EducationSENIOR Sociology Major, Criminal Justice Minor at Texas Christian University
ExperienceI currently work at Paschal High School as a college admissions mentor. I have been working in high schools for four years now, helping students with anything and everything, ranging from their homework to applying for their FAFSA's. I also help them study for their AP and SAT exams. I love my job and I love being able to help students from my community. I have found fulfillment in helping others and it really feels good to know I made a difference.
I took an AP test in Spanish and made a 4. Spanish is also my first language.
I graduated high school when I was 16 and will be graduating TCU at 20.
I took statistics at TCU and made a B. Algebra, statistics, and math were always my strong subjects in high school.
My major requires a lot of writing, therefore my writing skills are pretty good.
I am extremely organized and study about 90% of the time. I feel that in order to be successful in school, organization and dedication are key.
I am a Community Scholar at TCU. I earned a full ride scholarship for four years. The scholarship I earned is only given to one student per year, and in the year of 2010, I won it.
I also volunteer for Fort Worth ISD in the Student Engagement and Completion Department.
I am planning on attending law school in the fall of 2014.
HobbiesI come from a very small family, made up of just my mother and brother. We are very close and I love spending any free time I have with them. I also have 2 dogs that I love and treat as family. My interests involve school, spending time with my family and friends, and being able to accomplish any and all goals I set.
As mentioned before, I believe that with dedication anything is possible.
I am a strong believer that one does not have to be a genius in order to be successful in life.

Disabling xscreensaver for Xfce VNC display
This week, I installed Xfce on my RH9 desktop, specifically to replace twm as the environment for the VNC display. It works fine, and I definitely prefer the new look - I also run GNOME on my main (local) display.
At the same time, I'm getting increasingly addicted to BZFlag ( :) ), but the last couple of evenings I found the movement on-screen would start getting very jerky after a few minutes of play. The 'ps aux' command showed xscreensaver modules (mostly 'barcode' and 'halftone') running, even though they weren't running on my local display. I'd kill them and start playing again, only to repeat the process a few minutes later.
You've probably figured out what took two days to dawn on me: the modules are running on the VNC display (where I can't see them), and stealing CPU cycles which I need for BZFlag (not to mention the OpenGL savers on my main display!).
Is it possible to disable xscreensaver for the VNC display only, and leave it enabled on the local display? If so, how would you suggest doing this?

text: Hey everyone I know I have read online other people saying the same thing about their Vibrant having low bluetooth volume, but others seem to be fine. Does anyone know of a hidden bluetooth volume setting, or can you tell me the brand and model of yours if it is nice and loud? I currently have a Jabra BT8040.

Discussion in 'Chill Out Forum:' started by chrismitchell, May 20, 2010.
Happy Birthday old man :clap:
Birthday wishee Ken.
Man...you aint old.
....just ask Berry.
you may have to shout tho.. as Berry is a bit hard of hearing :lol:
Cheers guys!
I know I'm not old, I just feel a lot older than I am!
Happy Birthday Ken!
Hope you have a good day despite being at work!
Hopefully you received the very personal DF birthday e-mail by now? (nod)
A fact for your birthday, on the day you were born, Michael Jackson's Beat It was number one in the States, and back in Blighty it was True by Spandau Ballet! Two classics
Happy Birthday Ken! :clap:
You don't look a day over 18!
Have a brilliant day mate. Got any new cartoons brewing?
So how old are you Ken
As David Brent once said, you're only as old as the woman you feel.
Happy birthday!
I'm 27 Chris, which is a pretty good age I think! But I've never taken much notice of the number in my head I swing between acting like a two year old or a pensioner.
Cheers Greg, it's comforting to know that back when I was born MJ was still black! There's a generational distinction for you! The less said about Spandau Ballet the better!
Thanks Soren, I have got a new cartoon percolating in my head at the moment. It's going to take months/years to realise but I think it'll make a good webcomic. It'll be a big enough story to warrant a site of it's own. Not to give too much away but it'll be about a small Victorian 'steampunk' robot traveling around the old British Empire.
I'll always be a few years younger then!
Woooohh I know it's your birthday Ken, but I won't have a bad word said about the Kemp brothers and Spandau!
We all know Tony Hadley was better once he'd dropped the Kemps et al!
(Thanks Wikipedia! )
happy birthday ken
im only a few months behind you age wise, but facial hair wise Ive got a long way to go!
Happy Birthday Ken!
Cheers Tom, excellent icing skills! (the 2 looks a bit dodgy though!)
Damn I knew I should have put more effort in on this forum, on the car forum I frequent I would have got away with it..... if it wasn't for those pesky kids..
Have a great Day mate :up:
It's Ken's birthday so I don't want to make a scene, but I had to say something Tom, about frequenting another forum nocomic
Ken, in honour of your 27th Birthday, I have created a special edition Ken Smiley!! (ken)
That's quality! (ken)
I had a shave this morning
(I may have to shave my head to look more like the smiley!)

LeWeb is international - onstage, onsite, and online
LeWeb has become known as an event to see and be seen, network, find business, and be inspired.
There is one other quality of LeWeb that hit me when I asked Loic Le Meur what the values of LeWeb are when I first joined the team. He said,
LeWeb is about entrepreneurship. It's about being international. It's about inspiration. It's about the best of the best.
If next year, the best companies are in China, LeWeb may be in Chinese, who knows?
THAT said, I felt the need to point out that LeWeb's speakers - and audience - is certainly international. If anything, it is diversity in the Silicon Valley that is lacking.
13 of the 16 Startup finalists in our Startup Competition were European.
6 were French.
One was from Japan.
One from Hong Kong, and one of the Top 3 was based in Chile.
31 of our speakers and startup judges were European, not including the Ignite LeWeb speakers.
European "stars" like Badoo, SoundCloud, Deezer, Cut the Rope, Spotify, Net-A-Porter, Wooga, and many more were onstage.
One of the entire panels on the Social Media Track was French.
All of the surprise performances included athletes from Europe and almost all are French and/or world champions.
3500 participants came to LeWeb at Les Docks in Paris
69 countries were represented
16 of the 20 entrepreneurs that were sponsored by Silicon Valley Bank and Lepe Partners were European.
4 were from North and South America.
All of our partners have offices in Europe or are international companies
63% of online participants during the 3 days were based outside of the U.S., a third of them were in France
The top hashtags on Day 3, after #leweb and #leweb11 were #lewebfrancetv and #spotify. #lewebfrancetv was also one of the top hashtags on Day 1 & Day 2
The most talked-about Startup on Days 2 & 3 was Beintoo, an Italian startup
And in case you missed it, we launched a series of blog posts before LeWeb entitled "LeWeb is international" to highlight the many interesting attendees and speakers that we have had at past LeWebs.
