What is a Training and Development certificate and how will achieving one benefit me?
The Office of Human Resources at St. John's University is pleased to provide employees with the opportunity to significantly enhance their professional development through two Training and Development Certificate Programs. The programs offer a curriculum of Core and Elective workshops through which employees work toward receipt of a framed Certificate of Completion along with a personalized plaque awarded during a special graduation ceremony.
The two program tracks include one for one for staff and administrators and one for managers. The Certificate Programs support the University's strategic goal to build an organization of strong leaders where faculty, administrators and staff are enabled, motivated and engaged. The programs also directly support the Development Plan component of the University's performance management system, Partnership for Performance (PFP), by creating a clear path for professional growth for each employee.
How a Certificate Program Can Benefit You
What types of certificates are there? The two program tracks available include one for staff and administrators and one for managers.
Management Development This certificate is for administrators whose primary responsibility is managing a St. John's University function and supervising staff and/or administrators. Supervisors must complete the University Core, the Management Development Core, and at least 6 Electives.
Professional Development Refer to Page 2 of this document for the Professional Development Certificate requirements. This certificate is for full- and part-time staff and non-supervisory administrators. Eligible employees must complete the University Core, the Professional Development Core, and at least 8 Electives.
How can I find out if I'm eligible to receive a certificate? 1. Log in to UIS 2. Click on Employee 3. Scroll down and click on Employee Workshops 4. Click on HR Employee Training 5. Click on Training Profile (upper-right side of screen) 6. Compare your current progress with the requirements of the Certificate that you are pursuing
What do I do if my Training Profile is not up-to-date? You may email the Training Assistant at firstname.lastname@example.com or phone (718) 990-2330.
What is IMS? IMS is the Institute for Management Studies, an organization that provides professional development offerings for St. John's supervisors, managers and administrators. The Institute for Management Studies (IMS) offers one-day professional development workshops throughout the year on a variety of topics. Since St. John's has limited internal resources, these programs will supplement the current in-house programs and help to create an organization of strong leaders and foster an environment of life-long learning.

Day 16 and I think i am going to stop doing a daily blog now!
Today was another successful day with Buster staying dry all night and having only one messy accident all day. He is still having trouble knowing when to get the the toilet to do a poo but I think is due to the fact that with his intolerances he is always full of wind and as yet doesn't know how to distinguish between the sensation of wind and that of needing to use the toilet.
Today he stood up to use the toilet and thought it was great- I wasn't so pleased as he is already a typical man and can't aim straight!
Tomorrow he is at the childminders I really hope for bother Buster and C's sake that he uses either the potty or the toilet while there and not the floor!
Day 16 and all nappies are now gone from the house and my baby boy is growing up

1) Scripting in sports games: you know, where it feels like your kinda "meant" to lose the game and no matter what you do your gonna lose.
2) No ability to change difficulty level: i enjoy playing games, but i am not the sort of person who enjoys them for a challange, i want fun, so the ability to play games on easy mode is essential for me.
3) unimaginative sequels: for me one of biggest sinners of this was f1 2011... i felt in terms of the career mode they may as well have just patched the 2010 game with the 2011 liveries and drivers... need more effort put into revamping modes that are clearly in need of it.
4) games that give you all the super high powered fun gear RIGHT AT THE END OF THE GAME: super annoying this one, get to use all the good stuff for hardly any time at all, then if you start another playthrough it does not let you keep these weapons.
5) Special or limited editions of games that are clearly not special or limited: for me if a game has these titles on them, there should be some piece of physical memorabilia (like the map in skyrim, or halo reach's diary), a code for some dlc (that is normally just some weapon skins or something rubbish like that) does not count for me.
6) games that force you into some degree of "grinding" (i.e. where you have to do the same mission/race over and over again to get what you need): step forward gran turismo 5... your time has come, this game pretty much forces you to grind the same races over and over again in order to save up money to buy cars for series... for me this is not fun (Forza 4 has a much better system of playing through the game, where grinding is not necessary at all, you race in whatever car you want and the game picks out series for you to race in).

Lacking mapping controls as you like them.
Really this could be on the OS side of PS3 to be able and map anything as you like, a button to another button etc.
This was the most surpising thing about a game console - lacking this.
on 22-02-2012 11:38 AM
Just general lazy Q&A testing for a game really annoys me. Obviously Skyrim sticks out for this for PS3 because of the problems it's had and the time it took to fix it. Fifa 12 aswell really bugged me due to them not adding the option to change weather and day/night cycle in the launch, which was in the start in Fifa 11.
I just think that devolping has become a case of " well the game launches next week it failed this,this and this but we can always patch that later". I don't think creating games like that is right. I think it should be launched at it's best and then the only reason for patches is to add trophys for DLC.
You wouldn't go to buy a car and the salesman says " oh well it has no wheels at the moment but we'll get them to you in about 3 weeks time".
Then again due to pressure from a impatient gaming community and gaming sites and publishers.Games are rushed to get them out of the door to the baying public and to appease the publishers to get a quick buck. So we only have ourselfs to blame really.

Parallel leveling on RPG's.
What I mean is when enemies level up when you do. What is the point? It defeats the whole object of an RPG. Oblivion is a prime example although it is a great game.
Artificially difficult sections on short games to make them longer. For example Catherine & Ninja Gaiden are very hard games from start to finish so that's fine. Some other games are fine until you get to a point when they become ridiculously hard before returning to normal again. It just feels cheap.
Also linked to the paragraph above are games that require luck over skill to beat.

For Jets Kendall, Door at Camp May Lead to Exit
By DAMON HACK
Published: July 28, 2007
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y., July 27 When Pete Kendall arrived at the Hofstra University dormitories Thursday, he immediately recognized that something was different from last year. His room key and the Jets room log had him living with the rookies and other young players trying to make the team. Kendall is about to begin his 12th year in the league.
If not for the sometimes-ugly contract impasse between Kendall and the Jets, the mistake might have been viewed as a practical joke common in training camp. Kendall, last seasons starting left guard, took it as anything but.
I made mention to the head coach and the general manager, and they got it changed, Kendall said Friday as the Jets opened camp with two practices. To me, it speaks volumes about what the atmosphere must be like if someone in the organization must have thought it would put them in good graces with the head coach and G.M. to turn the screw just a little bit.
On a day when Chad Pennington tossed passes, Jonathan Vilma chased running backs and the Jets first-round pick, Darrelle Revis, played hooky, the off-season soap opera between Kendall and the team spilled into the first day of camp.
For a team coming off a playoff appearance last season and searching for more in the American Football Conference, part of Coach Eric Manginis opening news conference was spent talking about Kendalls room assignment.
I heard about the rookie dorm, Mangini said. There is no conspiracy theory, no grassy knoll, no secret agents. It was a mix-up, it has been changed. There are guys in all different dorms. Theyre 100 feet apart.
Kendall, who will turn 34 in September, waited until nearly the last minute before deciding to drive down from his off-season home in Weymouth, Mass., to report to camp Thursday. He is seeking to have the four-year deal he signed last season restructured so he will be paid $2.7 million this season. (He is now due to make $1.7 million.)
Kendall, who started 15 games last season, including the playoffs, said he told both Mangini and General Manager Mike Tannenbaum on Thursday that he would like to be traded or released if the contract was not redone. He said Friday that the only reason he reported to camp was to avoid a team fine of $14,000 a day.
In addition to the room mix-up, Kendall spent part of the first practice taking snaps with the second unit.
I dont understand why Im still here, he said. Ive clearly expressed that I dont want to be here. Im running with the second team. Its seemingly evolved into something personal.
He later added: Even the general manager acknowledges that my request is reasonable. So when the general manager says its not unreasonable, does there have to be an Exhibit B? I dont have any hope of it being salvaged at this point. I just think that Im not going to give money back at this point, so Im here.
Mangini said Kendall is one of several players alternating between the first and second teams. That happens at training camp at all positions, he said. Mike and I are responsible in doing what is in the best interests of the New York Jets. Thats what were committed to doing, and thats what were doing.
DBrickashaw Ferguson, who started alongside Kendall last season, said Kendalls unhappiness did not affect the teams first day of practices.
Pete is here and were working as a team and that situation is going to play out the way it is, Ferguson said.
One player who was not at camp or the rookie dorm was Revis, a defensive back and the 14th pick over all in Aprils draft. Revis had 129 tackles and 8 interceptions in three seasons at the University of Pittsburgh, but, as Mangini said, he was skipping important repetitions.
Anybody thats not here is missing opportunities to get better and compete for what they all want, which is playing time, Mangini said. We are going to focus on the guys who are here and get them better and collectively get better.
Kendall was on the field in body, if not in spirit, sweating through practice. He had his room among the Jets veterans, but it was unclear how long he would be there or how many more misunderstandings he would take.
Whoever it was in the building must have been thinking they were pleasing Eric and Mike to stick me in the rookie dorm, Kendall said. Little things like that. I mean, come on. Its comical to the point of absurd at this point.

++$_ wrote:Liquid ammonia is probably the most likely candidate to replace water, since it is readily formed and can dissolve a lot of things. There are other solvents, like acetone, but they are less likely to be present naturally, so I don't see how you would accumulate enough of them on a planet to form an ocean, at least without living things creating them first. Maybe you can have a planet with "second-generation" acetone oceans, having been pumped out as waste by a previous generation of water-based life, or something.
Either type of ocean would be much less compatible with atmospheric oxidizing gases than water. Maybe a lower concentration of oxygen would work, or perhaps another gas like nitrous oxide or chlorine would have to be used instead.
As for fluorine: No, probably not. It is scarce in the universe compared to oxygen, and it will react instantly with almost anything other than fluorine, fluorides, platinum-group metals, or noble gases. If you were to pump some fluorine into the atmosphere of an ordinary planet, it would quickly be used up oxidizing the rocks. In this video a brick is lit on fire using fluorine.
The Piper Encyclopedia wrote:Niflheim
Niflheim is the 4th planet of Nu Puppis. It's about 5 AU from its primary, with about 1g surface gravitation and one atmosphere of pressure. Ambient temperature is about -60C. It was discovered by the Terran Federation Space Navy. The atmosphere is 4-5% free fluorine with some inert components. The bulk of the atmosphere is the result of the reaction of fluorine with other materials: CF4, BF3, SiF4, PF5, SF6 and others. There is also a little free oxygen. The planet's rocks are weak and consist exclusively of fluorides. The only free liquid on the surface was liquid hydrofluoric acid (HF). It is rich in uranium.
Niflheim's native plants and animals metabolize fluorine. Their harder tissues are long-chain fluorocarbons (e.g., Teflon). Trees are described as "topped with huge ragged leaves, looking like hundred-foot stalks of celery." Other plants as "a mat of wormlike colorless or pastel sprouts". Animals are described as "Little round things, four inches across, gnawing at the vegetation, and bigger things, two feet long, with articulated shell-armor and sixteen legs which fed on the smaller herbivores."
Probably the most surprising and interesting thing about the Twayne edition is the essay that forms the introduction to that volume, and is reprinted here. The essay is by Dr. John D. Clark, an eminent scientist of the forties and fifties and one of the discoverers of sulfa, the first "miracle drug." It describes in great detail the planetary system of the star Beta Hydri, and gives the names of those planets: Uller and Niflheim. A publisher's note states that Clark's essay was written first, and given to the contributors as background material for a novel they would then write.
The fans of H. Beam Piper seem to owe a great debt to Dr. Clark. Uller Uprising became the foundation of Piper's monumental Terro-Human Future History; the first story where we encounter the Terran Federation. In it we learn about Odin, the planet that will one day be the capital of the First Galactic Empire; and humble Niflheim, which in more decadent times will become a common expletive, a word meaning hell.
madd0ct0r wrote:how to get such a concentration of flourine though?
Oxygen is far more common, slightly less reactive and also slightly heavier. hmmm
A planet has flourine and oxygen, with the flourine getting bound up in salts on the surface and driving the oxygen off.
Along comes a nova shockwave (or something) and strips the atmosphere off. Bye Bye oxygen.
Over time, the flourine salts slowly separate (how? photosynthesis?) and flourine becomes a larger component of the atmosphere again.
Wikipedia wrote:From the perspective of cosmology, fluorine is relatively rare with 400 ppb in the universe. Within stars, any fluorine that is created is rapidly eliminated through nuclear fusion: either with hydrogen to form oxygen and helium, or with helium to make neon and hydrogen. The presence of fluorine at all—outside of temporary existence in stars—is somewhat of a mystery because of the need to escape these fluorine-destroying reactions.
Three theoretical solutions to the mystery exist. In type II supernovae, atoms of neon are hit by neutrinos during the explosion and converted to fluorine. In Wolf-Rayet stars (blue stars over 40 times heavier than the Sun), a strong solar wind blows the fluorine out of the star before hydrogen or helium can destroy it. In asymptotic giant branch (a type of red giant) stars, fusion reactions occur in pulses and convection lifts fluorine out of the inner star. Only the red giant hypothesis has supporting evidence from observations.
Waffles to space = 100% pure WIN.

the Maroon VOL. 79, NO. 11 hghg MAROON.LOYNO.EDU Res Life staffers' pay cut short By Matt Walter Staff writer Brandi Morales was shocked last year when she received her first paycheck from Residential Life for $500 less than she expected. Morales, a desk assistant and political science junior, along with other student employees, said she was unhappy with the heavy taxes deducted from her pa) Check and felt Res Life misled her. Although the Res Lite staff employee contract said that "all benefits are subject to state and federal taxes," many students said they feel the administration failed to warn them properly. Students' Budgets Affected Res Life charges each employee for a room and meal plan. About two weeks into each semester, all RAs receive remission checks for their room and board. Other employees receive remission checks for only their rooms. Senior staff members also receive a $500 cash stipend each semester. "They give everyone the impression that they are going to be reimbursed," Morales said. "We do get paid that amount back, but then they take out the taxes." This year Morales said she received a check for about $1,700 after taxes, but Res Life charged her $2,174 for her room. She said this posed a serious financial problem for her because she is paying for her education on her own. A scholarship and student loan pay for her room and board, so she counts on the Res Life check to cover her living expenses. "My parents don't pay for my tuition or living expenses, and I planned in a bigger budget this semester. I only have $200 left to last me until December, as opposed to $700 before taxes. That's a big deal," Morales said. She said that she baby-sits three hours a day to make ends meet. Lori Sallop, marketing and business management senior, has held three positions in Res Life: senior Cabra Hall desk assistant, resident assistant in Cabra and night watch. She said she was surprised at her high taxes. Elections spark political fervor STUDENTS SPEAK OUT ON VOTING By Betsy Schmitt Staff writer As the presidential election draws closer, political interest is alive at Loyola. The Loyola Greens Club has 50 members this year, an increase from last year's 20. Members take turns sitting at a Greens Club information table in the Danna Center during class breaks. Loyola Greens Club is a chapter of the New Orleans Green Party. The club began on campus nine years ago, but joined forces with Environmental Action, a division of Loyola University Community Action Program, five years ago. "In many people's eyes, it has grown to be the most active group on campus and in the city," said Rosina Roibal, music education senior. Roibal said issues such as social and environmental justice and human rights are issues that affect all students, but specifically bring Greens members to the voting booth. The Loyola Greens represents the growing number of college students interested in grassroots democracy. In an Oct. 12 article in The Washington Post Oct. 12, Ralph Nader, the Green Party nominee for president, was quoted as saying both George W. Bush and Al Gore have avoided college campuses. "I Bush and Gore| like elementary and high schools better Ithan collegesl — good photo ops and less danger of blind-siding questions and pickets." According to Curtis Gans, chairman of the Committee for the Study of the American Electorate, members of the 18 to 24 age group are notorious non-voters. In 1996, 40 percent of collegians went to the polls, whereas only 28 STAFF PHOTO BY TOM LANDRY Lauren Campisi, economics junior, speaks her mind about politics at Free Speech Alley held Oct. 19 in the Peace Quad. Students fight to end death penalty By Elizabeth Buchta Staff writer With a little help from Loyola and Tulane university students. Moratorium 2000 hopes to change the world's policy on the death penalty. The group is a worldwide effort to stop the death penalty or suspend executions, led by Sister Helen Prejean, C.S.J., of New Orleans, author of Dead Man Walking. The group's biggest project to date is a petition drive. So far. members have collected 150,000 signatures in the United States, according to Theresa Meis/. outreach director, A' 94. The group has collected 3 million signatures worldwide. Prejean will deliver the signatures to United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan on Dec. 18 in honor of Human Rights Day, Dec. 10. "This will be a forceful message to the world's leaders that the people will not stand by while human beings are executed," Prejean wrote on Moratorium's Web site. Meisz said the ultimate goal of the group is to motivate people who sign the petition to take action. "This is no feel-good pat on the back. Signing |the petition] is the first step," Meisz said. The project moved its headquarters to New Orleans from Washington, D.C. It relocated at 7611 Maple St., and hired Bill Quigley, Loyola Law School professor, as a part-time director in June of this year. Quigley, a friend of Prejean, said that Prejean asked him to help coordinate the move to New Orleans. The group plans to seek a full-time director, a position Quigley said he did not want. Moratorium 2000 has three fulltime staff members: Meisz, outreach coordinator; Claire Gisel, interfaith coordinator; and Robert Jones, operations manager. Meisz said she is looking for volunteers, particularly students from Loyola and Tulane universities to join the effort. Kevin Schnepel, accounting junior, got a hug from Prejean his first day in the office. He said that he hopes other Loyola students will volunteer. "I didn't get involved in this through Loyola. I was just sitting in a sandwich shop on Maple Street and 1 saw the sign-up sheet," Schnepel said.

Failed rebellion had wide-reaching effect
Tucked into the woods just off Lakeside Avenue, a tiny award-winning park is a popular draw for strollers, picnickers, history buffs and neighbors seeking a shady respite near a tumbling brook. Although the mineral spring that gave the park its name dried up long ago, visitors to Spring Park can still view the site of a 19th-century granite spring house and walk in the footsteps of Samuel Williamson, who owned the 400-acre tract in 1796. Other than an informational marker beside the parking lot, however, there's little sign that a violent slave uprising was plotted near this peaceful park more than 200 years ago. Compared to the more famous Nat Turner Rebellion in Southampton County, Gabriel's Rebellion gets barely a nod in the history books. But 31 years before the Southampton event, a slave known as Prosser's Gabriel (commonly but incorrectly called Gabriel Prosser) masterminded the most extensive U.S. slave revolt ever planned – a revolt that would have brought to Richmond 1,000 or more slaves from as far away as Petersburg, Norfolk, North Carolina and at least 10 other localities. Although the rebellion was quelled before it began, the event plotted at Young's Spring (now Spring Park) had a far-reaching impact, and two centuries later Gabriel is viewed as an icon of the Civil Rights struggle for African Americans and other freedom fighters. For this reason, Gabriel's Rebellion ranks No. 10 on the Henrico Citizen's list of the most significant events in Henrico history. Primed for rebellion Born in 1776 on Thomas Prosser's tobacco plantation, "Brookfield," Gabriel likely was the son of a blacksmith. In Virginia slave families, skills were typically passed from generation to generation, and Gabriel and his brother Solomon began training in the blacksmith trade at a young age. Gabriel was also taught to read and write as a child – possibly by the plantation mistress, Ann Prosser. In addition to possessing remarkable intelligence, Gabriel was unusually large in size. By the time he reached the age of 20 he stood six feet, two or three inches tall, and was powerfully built from his years of smithing. Described as having a long and "bony face, well made . . . [and] two or three scars on his head," the imposing young man was regarded as "a fellow of great courage and intellect above his rank in life," and even the older slaves looked up to him for leadership. Being a skilled artisan, Gabriel enjoyed many advantages over field-working slaves, even before Prosser died in 1798. But when Prosser's ambitious young son Thomas Henry became the new master of Brookfield Plantation, he began hiring out Gabriel to work as a blacksmith in Richmond-area foundries – thus earning Gabriel even more autonomy and mobility. Through his blacksmithing, Gabriel interacted with fellow hired slaves, free blacks, and white laborers of European, African and mixed descent. Historian and professor Douglas R. Egerton, who authored a book about Gabriel's Rebellion, believes Gabriel was stimulated and challenged by his co-workers' stories and experiences, as well as by the revolutionary rhetoric of the 1790s. Some slaveholders of that era, for instance -- inspired by the ideals of the American Revolution and encouraged by the Methodists and Quakers -- had been moved to free their slaves. In 1791, the French Revolution helped trigger the great slave revolt in Haiti. The following year, France granted social equality to free people of color, and in 1794 the French abolished slavery in their Caribbean colonies. In 1799, Gabriel, his brother Solomon, and another slave stole a pig; when they were caught by the white overseer, Gabriel wrestled the man to the ground and bit off most of his ear. Although a court found him guilty of maiming a white man, a capital offense, Gabriel escaped execution through a loophole called "benefit of clergy." If he could recite a verse from the Bible, he could elect to be punished by public branding. Gabriel recited his verse, and was branded in his left hand. Coupled with the month he spent in jail and an already troublesome relationship with his master, the branding was the final insult in a chain of events that helped propel him toward rebellion. The plan Throughout the spring and summer of 1800, Gabriel and a small group of artisan leaders met at Young's Spring on Upham Brook, a popular weekend gathering place for slaves. Using the communication network fostered by those same social and religious gatherings, Gabriel and his conspirators began recruiting slaves from across Henrico, Albemarle, Caroline and Louisa counties. In addition to the 1,000 slaves they expected to follow, Gabriel and his supporters also hoped "poor white people" would join the cause, and targeted Quakers, Methodists and Frenchmen as the whites most "friendly to liberty." Two of the Frenchmen that Gabriel met with in secret may even have promised him international assistance. The plan called for hundreds of followers from across Virginia to gather for a march on Richmond after slaying their masters. A contact at the Capitol would let one band of insurgents into the state magazine to seize arms and ammunitions; another band would secure Mayo's Bridge and set fire to the warehouse district at Rocketts Landing as a diversion. Kidnapping Governor James Monroe, the conspirators would then negotiate the release of slaves all over Virginia. By Aug. 30, 1800 – the night of the planned rendezvous just north of Brook Bridge on Brook Road – Gabriel and his army had collected 12 dozen swords hammered out of scythes and worn out three pair of bullet molds. One slave recruit who was told of the plot was quoted as responding, "I was never so glad to hear anything in my life. I am ready to join them at any moment. I could slay the white people like sheep." The collapse Gabriel's intricate plans and well-coordinated attack may well have succeeded if not for the vagaries of weather. On the designated night, a sudden severe torrential downpour struck, making roads and bridges to the city impassable. One person called it "the most terrible thunder Storm . . . that I ever witnessed in this State." Although rebel leaders rescheduled the uprising for the next evening, the delay unnerved slaves Tom and Pharaoh of Meadow Farm. The scheme collapsed when they cracked under the pressure and informed their owner, Mosby Sheppard, of the plot. Sheppard alerted Governor Monroe, who called out the militia to protect the capital. Gabriel managed to escape down the Chickahominy River and got as far as Norfolk, after swimming to a schooner on the James River. The ship was captained by a former overseer named Richardson Taylor, a recently converted Methodist who'd had a change of heart about slavery and attempted to help Gabriel win his freedom. But Taylor's former slave Isham and a slave named Billy alerted white authorities to Gabriel's presence when the ship docked in Norfolk. Billy, who had hoped to use the advertised $300 reward to purchase his own freedom, was paid only $50. Gabriel went on trial Oct. 6 in Richmond and was found guilty of "conspiracy and insurrection." He was sentenced to be hanged the next day but asked that his sentence be carried out Oct. 10 so that he could be executed with six other slaves. The court agreed, but on Oct. 10 the slaves were hanged in three different locations; Gabriel was hanged alone on the town gallows. At least 26 other co-conspirators – including both his brothers – also were hanged. Impact profound While outwardly the rebellion was thwarted, it had a profound impact. The event served as a catalyst for additional black resistance, such as the 1802 "Easter Plot," organized by one of Gabriel's followers among enslaved boatmen along the Appomattox and Roanoke Rivers. The event also served, however, as the impetus for a number of new restrictions on the comings and goings of both slaves and free blacks. White Virginians – in a panic at the thought of how close the danger had come – realized that Gabriel had been able to plan the rebellion because of relatively lax rules regarding movement between plantations and the city. As a result, some of the advantages that slaves like Gabriel had enjoyed were made illegal, including literacy and allowing slaves to "hire out." After the Easter Plot, the Virginia legislature also attempted to prevent enslaved people from piloting boats. Even today, in the 21st century, the rebellion still inspires passionate rhetoric and debate. Since Gabriel was plotting with 1,000 or more slaves in North Carolina and Virginia to kill white plantation owners and hold the governor hostage, many Virginians today consider him no better than a murderer. In 2000, bicentennial celebrations stirred fresh controversy: the Caroline County Board of Supervisors rejected a petition from Gabriel's supporters to honor him on a courthouse monument, stating that any memorialization would glorify violence. Fans of Gabriel, who regard him as a hero and martyr who fought to overthrow the institution of slavery with the only means at his disposal, countered by pointing to Confederate monuments that they believe equally glorify violence. Henrico County commemorated the spot where the slaves conspired by constructing Spring Park Historic Site, which in 1998 won the Virginia Recreation and Park Society's "Best New Facility" for a locality of its size. And in 2002, the City of Richmond adopted a resolution to commemorate the 202nd anniversary "of the execution of patriot and freedom fighter, Gabriel, whose death stands as a symbol for the determination and struggle of slaves to obtain freedom, justice and equality as promised by the fundamental principles of democratic governments of the Commonwealth of Virginia and the United States of America." Four years later, the Virginia State Conference of NAACP requested that Governor Tim Kaine pardon Gabriel in light of his contributions to the civil rights struggle of African Americans. Kaine complied by issuing an informal, posthumous pardon for Gabriel and his co-conspirators, saying that Prosser was motivated by "his devotion to the ideals of the American revolution: it was worth risking death to secure liberty." Kaine also noted that "Gabriel's cause – the end of slavery and the furtherance of equality of all people – has prevailed in the light of history. "It is important," wrote Kaine, "to acknowledge that history favorably regards Gabriel's cause while consigning legions who sought to keep him and others in chains to be forgotten." |

Magic, on ice
Disney's Frozen shines as an instant classic
Disney has spent the past few years in search of that certain something; that 'Disney Magic.' It's been a slow process. From The Princess and the Frog to Tangled to Wreck-it Ralph, the studio took slow steps, welcoming its princesses and fairy tales and musical numbers back into the fold. Every film was an improvement on the last, but none of them had anywhere near the charm or lasting appeal of the early '90s highs of the "Disney Renaissance."
Frozen, by far, is the House of Mouse's best attempt at a new Little Mermaid. > Read more.

text: Hooked up with Robw56 over Lake Berryesa today and did some flying in the hills. The wind was swirling down in the draws so I didn't attempt any off airport stuff up there. Was hoping to find a spot we could both land but no luck today. Afterwards we cruised over to Sutter Co for a Chili dog feed. On the way home I dropped into a little spot on the top of a rolling hill but was not too exciting.

This was our second extended stay at the NH Eurobuilding. The staff is quite helpful. The deluxe room was lovely, but could use more drawer storage for long stays. I recommend a room facing away from C. Padre Damian, as they can be noisy on nights when Real Madrid is playing; our room was very quiet. Good conference site.

Open lip schizencephaly
As included in Discussion
Schizencephaly refers to a type of migrational anomaly in which a cleft a extends from the ependyma of the ventricle to the pial surface. The clefts are lined by gray matter and are filled with cerebrospinal fluid. Open lip schizencephaly refers to clefts where the walls are separated and is associated with a worse prognosis than closed lip schizencephaly in which the walls are in apposition. Patients typically present with intractable seizures and developmental delay. The generally accepted pathogenesis of schizencephaly is via early in-utero vascular insult. Associations include other migrational anomalies, dysgenesis of the corpus callosum and septo-optic dysplasia. Patients with schizencephaly may also have varying degrees of microcephaly (abnormally small head), mental retardation, hemiparesis or quadriparesis (partial or complete paralysis), and reduced muscle tone (hypotonicity). Most patients have seizures. Some may have hydrocephalus.
Treatment for individuals with schizencephaly generally consists of physical therapy, treatment for seizures, and, in cases that are complicated by hydrocephalus, a shunt (a surgically implanted tube that diverts fluid from one pathway to another).

New satellite will let government, Google see even tinier objects from space
If you go outside on August 22nd and start waving at the sky for a few consecutive months*, chances are you might be able to spot yourself on Google Maps in the near future.
On that date, Virginia-based company GeoEye will launch the GeoEye-1 satellite from Vandenburg Air Force Base in California. When it reaches its orbit, GeoEye-1 will start snapping photos of Earth – and it will do so fast. The satellite can take high-resolution photos of an area the size of Texas within a day.
GeoEye-1, holding an ultra high-resolution digital camera attached to a massive telescope, will be able to take clear images of objects just 20 inches across – a huge improvement over Google Earth's current 3-foot resolution. At this resolution, we should soon be able to see the shapes of people in online maps – but still not license plates. Read more »
