Calculus BC sample questions
AP Calculus BC exams: 2008 1 c&d parts c and d of problem 1 in the 2008 AP Calculus BC free response
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- So we were doing part c of the first problem on the Calculus
- BC exam, the free response part, and so what, I'll re-read
- it, it says the region r, this is the region r,
- is the base of a solid.
- I redrew the region r here, but with a little perspective, so
- we can hopefully visualize it in three dimensions.
- So it says for this solid, each cross section perpendicular
- to the x-axis, right?
- There's two ways you can do a cross-section, you could do
- them, you could cut this way, but that would be
- parallel to the x-axis.
- We wanted to cut perpendicular to the x-axis, or parallel
- to the y-axis, right?
- So if we cut it along the line like that.
- So they say, each cross-section perpendicular to the
- x-axis is a square.
- So I drew a couple of squares here.
- That's one.
- So here, this would be the base, and since we know the
- cross-section is the square, the height has to be the
- same length as the base.
- Same thing here.
- So here, the height will be really high, because this is
- kind of maybe our maximum point in terms of the base width.
- But it's still pretty wide, then it gets narrow again.
- So how do we figure out the volume of this solid?
- Which is kind of hard to visualize.
- And it's in some ways you easier to visualize it than
- it is to draw, so you have to give me some credit.
- But anyway, what we do is, we take the area of each of these
- squares, and I drew one of them here.
- You take you each of the area of each of these squares,
- multiply them by a super small change in x, and that we know,
- from everything we've learned in calculus hopefully, that
- that super small change in x, I'm trying to draw a little
- perspective, is dx.
- So if we multiply dx times the area of this square, that is
- the volume of this kind of part the entire solid.
- And if we were to sum up all of these infinitely thin solids,
- we would get the volume for the whole thing.
- So how do we do that?
- Well let's write our integral expression.
- So what is the area of each of these squares?
- Each of these cross-sections, what is the area?
- Well the base is going to be the difference between
- our two functions, right?
- This top function right here, that was sin of pi x.
- And this bottom function, right here, that is y is equal to
- x to the third minus 4x.
- So the base of the functions, the base of this distance right
- here is going to be the difference between the top
- function and the bottom function.
- So each base is going to be sin of pi x, minus this function,
- so minus x to the third, plus 4x, right switch the sign.
- Minus x to the third, plus 4x.
- So far this might look pretty similar to part a, but
- what's the twist here?
- We want the area.
- The area of each of the squares, not
- just this distance.
- So what's the area?
- It's going to be this distance squared, so we have to
- square this entire thing.
- So that's the area of each of these squares, and then
- we have to multiply them times a little bit of dx.
- And that gives us the volume for each of these, I guess,
- parts of the entire solid.
- And then what are our boundaries of integration?
- Well it's the same thing as in part a.
- This is 0, this is 2.
- So the boundaries are pretty straightforward.
- So we essentially just have to evaluate this now.
- And just like in part b, I've first tried to evaluate this
- analytically, and you end up getting a very, very,
- very hairy integral.
- Which you can do analytically, you but you have to know some
- power reduction formulas in trigonometry, you have to do
- some integration by parts, it would probably use up all of
- the time on the AP Exam.
- So since they said that a graphing calculator is required
- for some parts of the problem, I say why not use our
- graphing calculator?
- Because the graphing calculator is very good at numerically
- evaluating definite integrals like this.
- So let's get out my TI-85 emulator again.
- Here we go.
- I want you see the key strokes so that you, ok turned
- on, exit out of this.
- So we're going to use the calculus function here,
- so second, calculus.
- And this function right here, this is definite integral, a
- very useful function to use.
- Press F5, definite integral.
- And then we just type in the expression.
- So the expression, let me move it down a little bit.
- So it's open parentheses sin of where is pi?
- Pi is -- I haven't used one of these calculators in a long,
- long time -- oh there it is.
- Second pi x sin of pi x minus x to the third power, plus 4x.
- All of that squared.
- And then this definite integral function, you have to tell it
- which is the independent variable, or kind of, you
- know, what variable are we integrating across, and
- that's the variable x.
- And then you just tell it the boundaries of integration,
- and we're done.
- So integrate from 0, from x is equal to 0, to x is equal to 2.
- If I haven't made a mistake, I can hit enter, and let
- the calculator do the rest of the work.
- Let's see what it ends up with.
- OK, 9. -- that's the answer, that is the volume of this
- solid -- it's 9.9783 So you could write that this
- is equal to 9.9783.
- And I'm pretty sure they want you to use a calculator,
- because frankly, computing the integral, that's kind of just
- chug math, you know, very mechanical math, although it's
- pretty sophisticated, but it would take you forever.
- But this is kind of, I think, what they wanted you to do, set
- up the integral, recognize that each of the squares, the area
- of each of the squares is just going to be this distance, the
- distance between the functions squared.
- And then you integrate that from 0 to 2.
- Let's see how much time I have left.
- I have a couple of minutes.
- So let's do part d.
- The region r models, let me, paste, oh, I didn't want to
- do that, edit, undo, edit, paste, there you go.
- OK, so I wanted to make this a little smaller.
- So what does part d say?
- The region r models the surface of a small pond,
- so that's the surface now.
- At all points r at a distance x from the y-axis, the depth of
- the water is given by h of x is equal to 3-x.
- So essentially 3-x is the depth, right?
- So at this point of this pond, the depth is just 3, right 3-0.
- And at this point, the depth is 3-2 which is 1.
- So essentially the pond is going to get shallower and
- shallower or as we go further to the right.
- You could almost imagine it, let me see if I
- can draw it again.
- So this is the sin function with some perspective.
- This is the polynomial function below it.
- This is, it's probably drawn in, that's the x-axis.
- This is the y-axis.
- And so here, the depth of the pond is given by the function
- h of x is equal to 3-x.
- So over here, the depth is 3, so if I were to draw, so if I
- were to go straight down the depth is, you know
- maybe it's 3.
- And the pond essentially gets shallower and shallower
- as we go to the right.
- So how do we figure out the volume of this?
- Over here, what is the depth?
- It's going to be 1, right, 3-2.
- This is x is equal to 2.
- So here the depth is going to be 1.
- So if we take the cross-section just along the x-axis, the
- depth is going to look something like this, but then
- this is the top of it.
- I know that's kind of hard to visualize.
- But anyway, how do we figure out what the
- volume of this lake is?
- But actually, I realize I'm pushing nine minutes, so I
- will continue this in the next video.
- See you soon.

Forum moved, settings changed, but still wrong path
I moved my forum from my old to my new domain. Therefore I changed in settings.php $boardurl to the new domain.
When I visit it now then I see that the css-styles aren't applied, meaning this
--- Quote from: index.php ---<link href="hxxp:myolddomain.com/forum/simafo/Themes/my_lee/css/index.css?rc3 [nonactive]" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
--- End quote ---
still points at the old adress.
Where do I have to change that? I searched all files for my old domain-name with no results. If I change it in firebug everything is perfect...
Admin > Configuration > Themes & Layout... > Theme Settings
Then click the button at the bottom "Attempt to reset all themes"
And have you run repair_settings.php after your move? http://download.simplemachines.org/?tools

Thanks this helped. But why didn't I find my old domainname which was there still active in any of those files?
Maybe I was a bit to fast. The repair did not correct some header-links.

They got all changed from [oldsubdomain.olddomain.com] to [newdomain..olddomain.com] instead of [newsubdomain.newdomain.com].
Any clues where to correct that?

The market closed with another 200 points gains Friday on top of previous day's 407 points rally, led by further short covering. The Sensex rallied 206.50 points or 1.13 percent to close at 18519.44, which gained more than 600 points in two days after falling nearly 1500 points in previous four sessions. The Nifty rose 63.30 points or 1.17 percent to finish at 5471.75, helped by oil & gas, private banks, capital goods and metals stocks.For the week, the Sensex lost 0.4 percent and Nifty fell 0.65 percent.
The Indian currency managed to pullback 135 paise in trade on Friday to end the day at 63.20 against the US dollar. Most of the dealers believe this was due to RBI intervention in the last 30 minutes of trade. For the week the rupee has depreciated 2.5 percent against the dollar but it would have been much worse if not for a sharp recovery.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is in focus yet again, with officials meeting for an annual symposium in Jackson Hole. Fed chairman Ben Bernanke will not be present at Jackson Hole symposium. However traders will still listen for any indication of when the central bank might start tapering its asset purchases.
So, here are the stocks that will keep traders busy on Monday.

The Better Emma
By Jonathan Gear from Lyme Regis, England , 08 Oct 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
This production of 'Emma' , originally made for British television in the wave of the Jane Austen mania spurred by BBC's 'Pride and Prejudice', works better on all levels than the more famous film version, starring Gwyneth Paltrow released at the same time. Like the BBC's Pride & Prejudice, this too was written by Andrew Davies and produced by Sue Bristle. This production team combine a feel good factor with light comedy and realism that manages to capture the Austen spirit, rather than the superficial, high brow, stilted mannerisms that handicapped many other adaptions (e.g. Gwyneth's). Emma is a more difficult character to portray than other Austen heroines, we have to like her despite her awful failings and Beckinsale aided by Davies's script, easily wins our affection, even though we often cringe at her behavior. Aided by other great actors; Prunella Scales combines comedy with tragedy. this is the Emma to watch.- Was this review helpful to you?

By a customer , 06 May 2012A cack-handed adaptation. Some of the actors do a decent job of the poor script they are given but that's about the highest praise I can give this. Although to adapt a Jane Austen novel, which are generally not known for high drama, and actually *reduce* the dramatic content and suspense of the original story, takes some skill in itself I suppose!- Was this review helpful to you?

This artist's conception shows the inner four planets of the Gliese 581 system and their host star. The large planet in the foreground is Gliese 581g, which is in the middle of the star's habitable zone and is only two to three times as massive as Earth. Some researchers aren't convinced Gliese 581g exists, however.

The controversial exoplanet Gliese 581g is the best candidate to host life beyond our own solar system, according to a new ranking of potentially habitable alien worlds.
Gliese 581g shot to the top of the list — which was published Thursday (July 19) by researchers at the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo's Planetary Habitability Laboratory (PHL) — after a new study marshaled support for its long-debated existence.
The exoplanet was discovered in September 2010, but other astronomers began casting doubt on its existence just weeks later. Now Gliese 581g's discoverers have rebutted their critics' charges in a new paper, and have done so effectively enough to get the PHL onboard.
Here's a brief rundown of the PHL's top five habitable alien planets:
Gliese 581g
This rocky world — if it does indeed exist — is just 20 light-years away from our solar system. It's likely two to three times as massive as Earth and zips around its parent star, the red dwarf Gliese 581, every 30 days or so. [Gallery: The Strangest Alien Planets]
This orbit places the planet squarely in the star's "habitable zone" — that just-right range of distances where liquid water, and perhaps life as we know it, could exist.
Gliese 581g has at least four, and possibly five, planetary neighbors. The team that spotted Gliese 581g also detected another planet, known as 581f, circling much farther away from the star. But scientists are still arguing about that world's existence, too.
Gliese 667Cc
Gliese 667Cc, which was discovered in February 2012 by the same core team that spotted Gliese 581g, orbits a red dwarf 22 light-years away, in the constellation Scorpius (The Scorpion).
The alien world is a so-called "super Earth" that's at least 4.5 times as massive as our planet, and it completes an orbit every 28 days. At least one other planet resides in the 667C system.
Gliese 667Cc's parent star is part of a triple-star system, so the planet's night sky would probably be a sight to behold.
Kepler-22b was spotted by NASA's planet-hunting Kepler space telescope, which has detected more than 2,300 potential exoplanets since its March 2009 launch. Only a small number have been confirmed so far, but the vast majority should end up being the real deal, researchers have said.
Kepler-22b, whose discovery was announced in December 2011, is a super Earth about 2.4 times as wide as our planet. If the greenhouse effect operates on Kepler-22b like it does on Earth, the alien world would have an average surface temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit (22 degrees Celsius), researchers have said.
The exoplanet is found about 600 light-years away, and it orbits a star very much like our own sun.
HD 85512b
HD 85512b is another super Earth, one that's thought to be about 3.6 times as massive as our planet. The alien world is found about 35 light-years from us, in the direction of the constellation Vela (The Sail).
Astronomers announced the discovery of HD 85512b — and about 50 other alien planets spotted by the HARPS spectrograph on a telescope in Chile — in September 2011. The planet's estimated average surface temperature is 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius).
Gliese 581d
This world, which is about seven times as massive as Earth, orbits a bit farther out than its planetary sibling Gliese 581g.

Hey Stephen, Did you know Jon Iverson, The great -- Legeandary I should say designer of the Electron Kinetics? What a rare guy to have any conversations with. Ah the eagle 2c and 400, great amps of yesteryear, except for the power switch. Especially mated to the strain gaige cartridge and preamp the eagle 2000.. I remember once riding the elevator at the CES with Corey Greenburg and asking him what motivated his writing style," he said ""heart and emotion"" which is why his articles where so cool to read. Your style seems reminiscent of him. Easy to read and identify with.
Mothers and Mentors
Jon Iverson once commented that my writing was of an intellectual sort. Misunderstanding him, perhaps only slightly, I disagreed. I've never thought of myself as an intellectual, I thought. Emotional, yes. But, intellectual?
Now, however, I think I see a little bit better.
As I write this, I've become suddenly aware that the words are taking me into suites I meant not to visit. I'll go along, however, maybe to find that special magical connection or some fine tweak.
For the moment, following the words like following the sound of music around the Alexis Villas, I'll say this: there isn't necessarily a direct relationship between the intellectual and the profound. Profound, I am not.
Even a little bit deep? Not so much.
However, I am something of a thoughtful fuck. I have a certain kind of emotional intelligence. I'm a sensitive dude; no secret there. I spend a good amount of energy each day holding back a flood of silly tears, choking on a torrent of mad laughter, or simply dying to confess my love.
I love you, I love this, I love that.
I want to punch walls, hold hands, squeeze tits. I want to fill rooms with chandelier-shattering high-end wail and drop floors with thick low-end boom. I want to wrap myself like a string of golden lights around the tallest electrostatic speaker and shoot off into the cobalt blue sky like a giant Les Paul. I want to sing and scream like a billion bells and whistles all crying at once, stealing your money and making you love me. Sometimes, I'd like to be outrageous, obnoxious, and irresistible like a deck of playing cards covered in porn and scattered all along Paradise Road. Other times, I'd rather be small, quiet, and alone; a little boy drowning in an enormous orange beanbag. Most of the time, these days, I just want to be wherever it is that you are, following your blue eyes, keeping time with your smile.
At the moment, I'm at McCarran Airport, sitting against an enormous plane of glass, planes of the other sort taxiing in behind me. The sun is scattered across my skin and is breaking off into a million different directions. Behind a silver wall, leap the warbling sounds of slot machines, buzzers and zings. A couple to my left sit closely, whispering to one another, sharing a newspaper. On the ceiling are a hundred fluorescent fingertips, like silent sunrays, holding everything together and emitting a certain deliberate energy into the room. They are punctuated by more slot machines, as if slot machines were the center of the universe. Or, at least, the center of Las Vegas.
Now finally now I am overflowing with thoughts. None too deep, none too profound. But thoughts, nevertheless. I can hardly keep up. Wes mentioned that, when asked his impressions of the show during one of many late dinners, he had no adequate response. He had been too busy working covering the events, taking notes, and shaking hands to process an opinion. Perhaps I suffered a bit of that, too. Jon mentioned that, for every good show the Grateful Dead played, there were at least two or three dreadful shows. But it was the process, you see. It was that moment when all things collided, like a bunch of lightning fingertips in the center of the room that crazy moment when the guitar riff shot directly into the middle of your brain that moment was all that mattered, that moment was worth your money, worth all of the horrible shows. And, so, it's as much, or more, about the process as it is about the product; the journey as much as the destination. And do I even ever really want to get to the destination? No. Not if it means the end of learning, the end of growing even if it means the end of making mistakes. No.
But what do I know? I'm still trying to figure myself out. For awhile, there, at CES, I felt very much out of place. But, I wasn't out of place, at all. I was just in a slightly different place. Working things out.
At one point, towards the end of the show, Ken Kessler came up to me wrapped in wind, vibrating in vinyl, and holding closely to a rolling suitcase filled tight with the stories of 400 trade shows. He asked me: "So, Stephen, anything here change your life?"
My face went blank and white, I'm sure. "Change my life?" I repeated, adding only the question mark to the end. "No. At least, I don't think so. Maybe I just haven't realized it yet."
The Land Of Beyond - Robert Service Rhymes of a Rolling Stone, Have ever you heard of the Land of Beyond,That dreams at the gates of the day?Alluring it lies at the skirts of the skies,And ever so far away;Alluring it calls: O ye the yoke galls,And ye of the trail overfond,With saddle and pack, by paddle and track,Let's go to the Land of Beyond!Have ever you stood where the silences brood,And vast the horizons begin,At the dawn of the day to behold far away The goal you would strive for and win? Yet ah! in the night when you gain to the height, With the vast pool of heaven star-spawned, Afar and agleam, like a valley of dream, Still mocks you a Land of Beyond. Thank God! There is always a Land of Beyond For us who are true to the trail; A vision to seek, a beckoning peak, A farness that never will fail;A pride in our soul that mocks at a goal, A manhood that irks at a bond, And try how we will, unattainable still, Behold it, our Land of Beyond!
One thing will determine the success of your small business more then all other things small business marketing agency combined and that is your small business marketing strategy. Before your product, service, quality, warranty even have a chance at making a difference your marketing must bring ready willing and able buyers to your door.
I hate the forced text formatting on that poem above, but at least you can make sense of it. I found a reference to this poem on the back of a Bill Drummond record from 1986. True to the trail indeed. - Let's go to the Land of Beyond! - On our way.- Roar!
>Hey Stephen, Did you know Jon Iverson, The great -- Legeandary I should say designer of the Electron Kinetics? Hi Sean. Nope, unfortunately, I never had the pleasure. But at least I'm now curious to take a look back at his work. Thank you. And thank you, also, for the Corey Greenberg compliment; I never met Corey either, but I've heard good things about his writing. I'll be sure to take a look at some of his work, as well.
>I hate the forced text formatting on that poem above, but at least you can make sense of it. At first, I thought that it was one of your post-world raps. Thank you for sharing; it put a big smile on my face. I always love it when I can inspire poetry from you.By the way, I'd follow you anywhere, brother. On our way.
When KK asked you if your life was changed and you had to think, you will now know that is has, hopefully for the better. You chose a swell boom box while working at the esteemed Stereophile magazine. You took your job with little interest in audio, at least it seemed that way. You seemed to like you work and your associates.You accepted the responsibility to blog every day about what comes to mind. If more bosses felt like JA the world would be a better place. You took in comments and advice most graciously. You now listen on a reasonably high-end audio system.You chose to go to CES last year and get your feet wet. With no hi-fi experience trying to convey all you saw and heard. This year you jumped in with a basis of basic understanding of what to look and hear for, and what this industry is really all about...really expensive audio toys for big kids. You have great tutors.Every choice you made did CHANGE YOUR LIFE and take you down a different life path. This is not insignificant.
>Furthermore, John Iverson disappeared in the 90's, an event that has been the subject of considerable speculation, whereas Jon Iverson is very much with us. (And a good thing, too.)Thanks for the clarification, RD. And, yes, it's a great thing, indeed, to have Jon Iverson with us. It is a wonderful pleasure to work with him, just as it is to work with you.
>This is not insignificant. Thanks so much, Jim. Similarly, all of your kind words - your thoughtful advice and encouragement, as well as your participation in our forums and the enthusiasm you hold and share for this hobby and your appreciation of life, in general - is wonderfully significant, is so, so, so important to me and to all of us here.Yes, I feel very lucky - I feel blessed - to work with such great people. And to create for such caring and passionate readers is a real joy.Thank you, thank you, thank you.
As an owner of an Electron Kinetics Eagle 2a' I often wonder what ever happened to John Iverson. I have a letter from him ('89) explaining that the Eagle 2 I sent him for upgrading was mistakenly sent to another customer. So he sent me a NEW Eagle 2a'. Shortly thereafter John went MIA. Eventually, my amp will crap out and I will be left with a hefty reminder of audio days gone by. Oh well, by then, my hearing will be shot and any old amp will suffice. Where are you John?

UCS 5000 is a single system that harnesses a full array of in-flight connectivity, entertainment and information
LAS VEGAS, Oct. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- [NBAA2013] – Aircell (NASDAQ: GOGO), a leading provider of in-flight connectivity equipment and services to the business aviation market, announces the UCS 5000, the industry's first all-in-one smart router and media server.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130415/CG94789LOGO)
John Wade, Aircell's Executive Vice President and General Manager, said, "Business aviation's in-flight experience has never been richer, but installing and using all those capabilities has become quite complex. UCS is a single, backbone system that manages and simplifies the way passengers access today's vast menu of capabilities. It provides not only all the needed router functionality and interfaces, but offers the optional bonus of a full-fledged media server, in-flight entertainment (IFE) service, and the industry's only fully-automatic update capability – all in a single unit.
"Many UCS features are offered as options, so it's easy for operators to choose the capabilities they need – without paying for things they don't. With features selected for the mission, UCS is as cost-effective for a light turboprop with a simple Internet system on board, as it is for the most capable, ultra-long-range aircraft. Further, since many UCS features are available via software key, new capabilities can be added at any time, without requiring any additional hardware. It's a very flexible solution," concluded Wade.
Smart Router Functions
First and foremost, UCS is a smart router. It provides 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi service with access to all in-cabin wireless services with a single log on – eliminating multiple connections and manual switching. Additional key features:
Media Server Functions
UCS is the industry's first smart router that is also an optional, full-fledged media server.
Fully Automatic IFE Updates
In another industry first, UCS includes Wi-Fi bridge capabilities, which allow operators to obtain fully-automatic IFE content updates when the aircraft visits any Gogo Cloud location. When an aircraft arrives, the UCS system automatically connects to the Gogo Cloud Wi-Fi signal and performs a complete content update – all without any intervention from the flight crew. Currently expected to be available in January 2014, Gogo Cloud will be available at select Signature Flight Support facilities, and individual flight departments can purchase equipment packages to bring Gogo Cloud capabilities to their own hangars.
Additional Information and Availability
By combining functionality with features traditionally offered through separate hardware, UCS can also reduce box count – simplifying operation while reducing equipment cost, installation complexity and weight. Available in January 2014, UCS is extremely small and lightweight – only 9.3 lbs and two MCU in size.
This week, Aircell is displaying its complete range of in-flight connectivity and entertainment solutions at NBAA2013 in Las Vegas, booth C11243.

D3 announces "solid" E3 line-up
It's all happening. Shaun the Sheep! Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers! Both at E3 thanks to D3 Publishing.
In addition visitors to the company at the show will get their hands on Bangai-O Spirits, Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2, BEN 10: ALIEN FORCE The Game (?), Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 and Puzzle Quest: Galactrix.
Fair enough. Press release after the link.
Tue, Feb 26, 2008 | 16:02 GMT
D3 publishing Bangai-O Spirits in the US
Treasure's Bangai-O Spirits is to be handled by D3 in America, the publisher just confirmed. The DS shooter is slated for the second quarter.
As reported this morning, you'll be able to create levels and transmit them to other consoles through headphones and proper Spectrum-style squeaky noises. It has to be awesome. No news on a European release as yet. Press release after the link.
Tue, Feb 26, 2008 | 06:35 GMT
Bangai-O Spirits has full level editor, sound-transmitted levels
According to this, the upcoming Bangai-O Spirits for DS will have a level editor. There's a hands-on with the upcoming Treasure game throuh he link.
That's not all. Apparently you'll be able to transmit levels to other DS users by sound.
"Once you're done your creation, you can save it to cartridge and send it to other Bangai-O Spirits owners in a very unique way: through the power of sound," said IGN. "Using old-school modem-like technology, you'll convert your levels into a sound that other Bangai-O Spirits carts will recognize. Place a set of headphone earpieces to a DS microphone, plug in the 1/8th inch jack to the host, and send that file off through high-pitch whines. It's similar to the way that we Commodore 64 and TRS-80 programmers used to save and load our created programs, and here it makes a return in a contemporary game design."
Geek essential, number one, 2008. No release date yet.
Fri, Feb 08, 2008 | 17:02 GMT
Bangai-O Spirits for US DS in March
According to this, Bangai-O Spirits is going to be releasing for DS in America on March 19. Good news about a great game. DS-owning importers should be mindful of the date: it's made by Treasure, which should really be all you need to know, and there's not much chance of this making it to Europem if we're being honest. Shots here.

"Fight to keep going, to get through all the crap that seems so thick there is no where to go and no way to get through it.....there is always a way. And that way is forward, just keep striving to move forward whether it's one step at a time or five. Just don't stay idle in all the thickness, it will devour you."
Cathy Gipson
"No matter how dark it feels there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Even if you can't see it, it's there."
"We can't control what happened, we can't control what has been lost. What we can control is how we fight to take that control back, and the voice within us is powerful in doing so...."
"There are always going to be obstacles, and that's true in the healing journey too. But we can tear down the walls of those obstacles and get through it. It's essential for our well being and taking back the control in our lives. Never give up!"
"Becoming empowered and beginning to talk and take back control is a scary thing....very scary. Those that want to keep us down are afraid of that too. But, becoming empowered is necessary.... People couldn't shut me up now if their life depended on it...."
"Face the fear, stare it right in the face and say...."I will win.""
"Allow yourself to go through all the emotions, it's part of the process. Fight to take your life back, fight for your strength."
"Never give up. Keep pressing on, hold on tight and fight. Healing is within your reach and is yours for the taking."
"Find even the tiniest bit of light in your day, everyday to stay strong. It doesn't matter how big or small, just find something that is positive about each day. Eventually that light will be brighter and for much longer."
"Face the monster, you know...the one that works overtime to keep you down. The one that tells you it was your fault, the one that tells you you deserved it, that you didn't fight hard enough, that tells you you trusted him so what did you expect, the one that tells you things will never get better. That monster....he's a liar. Get to know him, and then kick him to the curb!"

Executive Insight Report: Opportunities From Financial EfficienciesOctober 2013
In this era of consolidation and healthcare reform, it is more important than ever for leaders to make sure their healthcare organizations are working at peak efficiency. In a recent HealthLeaders Media survey, Healthcare leaders say the greatest financial efficiencies are to be found in the revenue cycle. But how do you make your revenue cycle clean and lean once and for all? As it does so often, problem-solving comes down to expertise and capabilities. It is critical that healthcare organizations select partners, including financial partners, who fully understand the dynamics changing healthcare today. Those partners must show that they are committing the financial and people investments needed to keep pace with the rapid changes in the industry.
Financial Efficiencies Buzz Survey
October 2013
A three-question survey on financial efficiencies was sent to members of the HealthLeaders Media Council in June 2013. Executives from hospitals, health systems, physician organizations, and other groups were asked about opportunities for financial efficiencies, exposure to potential loss, and sources for financial efficiencies guidance. A total of 125 completed surveys are included in the analysis, which included 56 Senior Leaders. Results for Senior Leaders are broken out for comparative purposes.
Roundtable: Top Skills for Top ExecutivesSeptember 2013
The healthcare industry is experiencing a dramatic shift in key competencies with the advent of new incentives and requirements, and new skills are needed to engineer the merger of clinical and financial priorities. Leaders must delegate risk management, case management, and medical informatics, among other priorities, while staying on course with strategic goals. Thinner margins mean that CEOs must take an active role in maintaining a healthy balance sheet. Top executives need to broaden their capabilities and serve as a bridge between clinical and financial priorities. While chief executives must provide the vision, they must also cultivate their own financial expertise while helming an executive team that is flexible and innovative in the face of rapid change, and that keeps financial self-sufficiency at the top of the priority list.

Quality decline
We noticed right away that the quality, especially the cut, of these PJs had declined compared to previous similar orders of PJs over the years. Have always appreciated that you stock this traditional pullover type. My husband is very thin and thus hasn't strained the seams and is actually comfortable in them.

This product is very well made and it was gratifying to find several choices in the v-neck slipover style. Thank you for keeping this availble.!

Unable to wear
Unfortunately this is the first product we have purchased from you that appears to be a problem. After repeated washings, I still am unable to wear the pajamas. As soon as I put them on, I start to itch all over. I must be sensitive to either the dye or the fabric used to make them. They sit on my shelve unused. This is the first time this has ever happened to me.

Shinrei Tantei Yakumo
Shinrei Tantei Yakumo (心霊探偵 八雲|Psychic Detective Yakumo) is a light novel series written by author Manabu Kaminaga with illustrations done by Katoh Akatsuki in Nihon Bungeisha publication and later in the Kadokawa Bunko publication with cover arts done by Yasushi Suzuki. Currently are 8 volumes published.
Story Synopsis
...Three friends from university, drunken, decided for a test of courage in the adandoned "haunted" building behind their university. They didn't wish for it, but they encountered a ghost??? Or?...
For the sake of a friend possessed by a ghost, a young college student Ozawa Haruka visits her university's Movie Research Club. Haruka finds inside a young man - Saitou Yakumo, who is believed to have psychic powers. The two of them begin investigate the weird occurences that are happening around Haruka's friends together, as Haruka is convinced that Yakumo is just a fake psychic. Will they be able to find the culpit who murdered the person possessing Haruka's friend before he kills all of the friends who visited the adandoned building and Haruka as well? All in all, Haruka finds out that this young man is the real deal! Yakumo's red left eye can see what others cannot - the spirits of the dead. With this power and mostly Yakumo's great people perception they're solving this confusing, un-earthly case.
This case is just the start of the string of incidents happening around them. And Haruka is unlucky enough to get involved and then she always brings new cases to Yakumo, just to his annoyance!

Existing practices sanctioned by use and acceptance, that are not specifically included in the collective bargaining agreement. Arbitrators use evidence of past practices to interpret ambiguous contract language. In addition, past practices can be enforced under the negotiated grievance procedure because they are considered part of the agreement. See, e.g., 5 FLRA No. 35 and 7 FLRA No. 125. Unilateral changes in past practices dealing with conditions of employment (see 24 FLRA No. 96, 27 FLRA No. 44, and 34 FLRA No. 104) can constitute unfair labor practices(ULP). See, e.g., 6 FLRA No. 127, 9 FLRA No. 11, and 21 FLRA No. 103. Indeed, it is a ULP to unilaterally change a practice that is at odds with the express terms of the agreement. See, in this connection, 36 FLRA No. 65, where FLRA said the following:
The fact that the negotiated agreement addressed the matter is not conclusive, if it is shown, in fact, that over a period of time the parties had engaged in a practice regarding the [matter] that differed from the contractual procedure. If this showing is made, and the practice satisfies the statutory requirements of section 7103(a)(14), it is a condition of employment that cannot be unilaterally altered. Letterkenny Army Depot, 34 FLRA 606, 610-11 (1990).
As the ALJ noted in 42 FLRA No. 7, "[t]o find that a condition of employment has been established by past practice . . . there must be a showing that the practice was consistently exercised for an extended period of time, with the agency`s knowledge and express or implied consent." Norfolk Naval Shipyard, 25 FLRA No. 19 [25 FLRA 277 at 286].

SOURCE St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital investigators prove that an immune marker predicts transplant success and improves selection of bone marrow donors
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Sept. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The risk of death following bone marrow transplantation can be reduced about 60 percent using a new technique to identify bone marrow donors who make the most potent cancer-fighting immune cells, according to research from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The findings appear in the September 16 online issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/58594-st-jude-children-s-research-hospital-immune-marker-transplant-success
The research builds on an earlier St. Jude discovery that specialized immune cells called natural killer (NK) cells dispatched cancer cells more efficiently when the NK cells carried a particular version of a KIR protein on their surface. KIR is short for killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor. KIR proteins regulate NK cells.
For this study, researchers reviewed the outcomes of the 313 bone marrow transplants performed at St. Jude during the decade ending in January 2010. Investigators found that patients were far more likely to have survived the transplant and far less likely to have their disease progress if their new bone marrow came from donors whose NK cells included the same version of the protein, rather than the alternative form.
"This approach should dramatically improve the outcome for patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation, regardless of their age or underlying condition," said Wing Leung, M.D., Ph.D., the paper's corresponding author and chair of the St. Jude Department of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy. "NK cells also play an important role in autoimmune disorders, chronic infections and other conditions, so these results will likely have an impact beyond cancer."
Transplant patients benefited regardless of their disease, previous treatment, completeness of the genetic match or other donor characteristics, including whether the donor was a relative, Leung said. Screening for the NK cell variation uses blood collected for the current donor screening process and will not slow donor selection.
NK cells account for less than 15 percent of white blood cells, but play a major role in defending against cancer and viral infections. This research focused on a protein named KIR2DL1, which belongs to the KIR family of proteins. The KIR2DL1 protein is found on NK cells of nearly all healthy individuals.
Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids. Due to natural genetic variation, there are 25 versions of KIR2DL1, each with a slightly different amino acid sequence.
In an earlier study, Leung and his colleagues discovered that NK cells with one of the KIR2DL1 variations killed cancer cells growing in the laboratory more efficiently than NK cells with a different version of the protein. The potent NK cells featured the amino acid arginine at position 245 of KIR2DL1 rather than the amino acid cysteine in that spot. That discovery led to this study, which offers the first proof that the amino acid difference impacts patient outcomes.
Researchers checked the outcomes of all bone marrow transplants performed at St. Jude during the 10-year period. They found that donor bone marrow with two copies of the gene for the arginine 245 version of KIR2DL1 was associated with a 60 percent decreased risk of death following transplantation and a 62 percent reduced risk of disease progression compared to transplants with donor bone marrow that carried instructions for making just the cysteine version. The transplants involved patients battling both acute lymphoblastic and acute myeloid leukemia as well as other conditions.
St. Jude has patented and licensed a test to identify potential donors with the preferred amino acid. The goal is to make the screening test widely available to other transplant centers as soon as possible, officials said.
The study's first authors are Rafijul Bari of St. Jude and Piya Rujkijyanont, formerly of St. Jude. The other authors are Erin Sullivan, Guolian Kang, Victoria Turner and Kwan Gan, all of St. Jude.
The research was supported in part by grants (CA02176524 and CA021765) from the National Institutes of Health, the Assisi Foundation of Memphis and ALSAC.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad slammed British leaders as "shallow and immature" and accused the British government of trying to arm rebels seeking his ouster.
Al-Assad told The Sunday Times that the British government can't play a useful role in stopping the Syrian crisis.
"We do not expect an arsonist to be a firefighter," al-Assad told the newspaper.
"To be frank, Britain has played famously in our region (an) unconstructive role in different issues, for decades, some say for centuries. I'm telling you the perception in our region," he said.
"The problem with this government (is) that they are shallow and immature. Rhetorics only highlight this tradition of a bullying hegemony."
British Foreign Secretary William Hague has hurled equally harsh words toward al-Assad. Sunday was no different.
"I think this will go down as one of the most delusional interviews that any national leader has given in modern times," he told BBC in an interview.
In February, the European Union renewed its arms embargo on Syria for three months but amended it to allow greater non-lethal support and technical assistance to help protect civilians.
The shift in the arms embargo set an important precedent, Hague said.
"This is an important and welcome step forward. It shows we can change the arms embargo, and the worse the situation becomes, the more ready we will be to change it," he said earlier in a statement.
This month marks the two-year anniversary of the Syrian civil war, a conflict that has killed at least 70,000 people, according to international estimates.
Earlier this year, al-Assad outlined a plan to resolve the Syrian crisis. His plan included national dialogue and a new constitution that would be put up for a public referendum.
But there's a major caveat: Al-Assad said he refuses to deal with "terrorists," a term the government often uses to describe the opposition.
Similarly, opposition members have said they will not work directly with al-Assad's "criminal" government, nor will they accept any solution that doesn't involve al-Assad's departure.
So the deadly impasse continues.
At least 123 people were found dead across Syria on Sunday, including 38 in Damascus and its suburbs, according to the Local Coordination Committees for Syria, a network of opposition activists.
The unrest began in March 2011, when al-Assad's government began a brutal crackdown on demonstrators calling for enhanced political freedoms.
The protest movement eventually devolved into an armed conflict, one that has devastated cities and towns around the country and has already claimed nearly 70,000 lives.
Oppostion leader returns to Syria
Moaz al-Khatib, president of the National Coalition of Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, appeared in a social media video posted Sunday that purports to show the opposition leader in Syria.

Polo gets $1,000 check for Most Interesting Legend
After months of anticipation — and a little skepticism — the Polo Historical Society is the winner of a nationwide contest and the $1,000 check that goes with it.
The check from Reader's Digest arrived on Christmas Eve, confirming that Polo had won the Most Interesting Legend category of the magazine's months-long contest.
"I was at our Christmas Eve service at church when Ed Olsen [a historical society member] came in and said 'our check came today.' Then I knew for sure," said Betty Obendorf, historical society curator.

Nordic Games acquires Painkiller publisher with sequel developments in mind
Nordic Games has announced the acquisition of Painkiller publisher DreamCatcher. The label will be separate under the Nordic label, with the aforementioned game part of a relaunch of an "extensive" back catalogue of games. "After the incorporation of the JoWood and The Adventure Company publishing label, DreamCatcher is the third and last to follow for the time being," commented Nordic Games CEO Lars Wingefors in the press release. "Our approach is to assess the performance of DreamCatcher's portfolio through back-catalog sales, and as a consequence develop sequels to its bestselling brands and licenses, just as we did with our other two publishing labels."
The firm is in negotiations with North American companies regarding the distribution and marketing of products. Thanks, Blue.

News Release
Four UMBC Lacrosse Players Among Nominees for America East Fans' Choice Player of the Year
Jeremy Blevins |
Peet Poillon |
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Voting for the inaugural America East Men's and Women's Lacrosse Fans' Choice Player of the Year has opened at AmericaEast.com, and four Retrievers are among the 12 men's lacrosse and 14 women's lacrosse finalists. Senior goalie Jeremy Blevins (
Blevins was named a nominee for the prestigious Tewaaraton Trophy, given to the top player in the nation. The America East First-Team All-Conference goaltender last season is a prime reason why the Retrievers are 9-2 overall and ranked sixth in the nation. The senior leads the league and ranks eighth in the nation with a 7.51 goals-against average and is 16th with a .574 save percentage. A four-year starter, Blevins owns a career record of 41-17 (.707) in the UMBC cage. The team co-captain leads all active goalies in the nation in wins and is now fourth on UMBC's all-time saves list with 585.
Poillon leads the Retrievers with 38 points on 21 goals and 17 assists this season. An Inside Lacrosse Second-Team Preseason All-American, he earned his second America East Player of the Week honors of the season on Monday after matching his career high with four goals in UMBC's 15-7 victory over league rival Albany in Saturday's battle for first place in the conference. Poillon ranks third in the America East and 17th in the nation with 3.36 points per game, and he is fourth in the league and 21st in the NCAA with 1.45 assists per contest.
Dorr leads the Retrievers with 35 goals, 44 points and 34 draw controls on the season – all career highs – and she ranks second in caused turnovers (18) and third in ground balls (24) and assists (9). A four-year starter, she needs just five more goals to become the 16th Retriever ever to score 100 in her career. Dorr ranks fifth in the America East in goals per game (2.50) and seventh in points per game (3.14), and she has nine multi-goal games on the season.
Quick ranks second in the America East and 18th in the nation in save percentage (.492), and she is third in the league and 26th in the NCAA in goals-against average (10.02). The two-time America East Defender of the Week also ranks fourth in the conference with 8.60 saves per game, and she has posted double-digit saves four times in 2009.

I am one of those people widely condemned right now as the worst moron on the planet. That's right. I bought a house I can't afford just because someone was stupid enough to lend me the money.
I had to get my kids out of the gang-ridden, senseless killing neighborhood we lived in, so I bought a house in safer yet still modest neighborhood that also just happened to be too expensive for my pathetically low single mom salary. Now, I need to refinance and get my payments down so I can actually afford to stay there.
This involved having a real estate appraiser walk around my house the other day with a clipboard, hemming and hawing. I suggested to her that it was a tiny bit nerve-wracking having someone walk around your house with a clipboard, judging it, and her response was, "Really? It never occurred to me. No one ever said that to me before."
Anyway, at the conclusion of this ordeal, the appraiser was kind enough to tell me, in so many words, the gist of which was how my house was a complete dump and not worthy of top dollar. Like, the kitchen was remodeled before I bought it, but they put in regular appliances instead of stainless steel and formica countertops instead of granite. (Here's a photo of my inadequate kitchen.)
This apparently is enough to put me into the homeowners Hall of Shame.
