I am a former Wall Street quant with degrees in Math, Computer Science and Finance. I have been tutoring since my days on the Math Team at Stuyvesant HS. I was a high school teacher for a brief time and, more recently, I taught Probability and Statistics at Stony Brook University for a few years, where I received the President's Award for Excellence in Teaching.
I believe that learning mathematics is about understanding important concepts, not memorizing a bunch of formulas, and that obtaining the right answer is less important than trying to understand a problem and devising a method to solve it, even if that method isn't what the teacher is looking for.
I have a Masters Degree in Applied Math & Statistics. I taught an undergraduate course in Probability & Statistics 7 times from 2005-2008. I passed the first actuarial exam with a perfect 10.
I received a grade of A in both "Introduction to Logic" and the more difficult course "Symbolic Logic" as an undergraduate. As a graduate student, I taught a recitation section of "Discrete Structures" (a computer science course in which logic plays a very important role).
I taught "Survey of Probability and Statistics" (AMS 310) at Stony Brook University for 3 years, receiving the 2008 President's Award for Excellence in Teaching.

Everyone tells me horror stories about childbirth. Should I ask them to stop?
Since the day I found out I was pregnant, women have been telling me horror stories about childbirth. I've heard things that would make your toes curl. I try to ignore them, but some accounts scare me to the point of tears. This is my first pregnancy and I don't know what to expect from the delivery. Why do people feel the need to share their most awful birth experiences instead of the joyous ones?

Ok. As a first time mother, I can definitely feel your pain! (I'm almost 32 weeks.) I finally got to the point where I had to (politely) ask people not to share their stories if they didn't have something positive to share. So far no one has gotten upset and most have looked pretty sheepish (and rightfully so!) Also, I had to come to the realization that those horror stories were the exception rather than the rule. For some reason there just isn't the "wow" factor when someone tells their story about the birth that averaged 8 to 10 hours and needed no major medical interventions before delivering an average 7 pound baby. I think all those horror stories are just an attention getting tactic and these people are just not thinking about the possible effects they are having on an already nervous first-time mom! Surround yourself with positive supportive people. Finally, remind yourself (daily if you have to) that your body is uniquely made to do this and the horror stories of a few rare incidents should not be allowed to steal your joy during this time! You're having a baby! Celebrate!posted 09/12/2005 by showcool
There are just as many, if not more, easy/quick labor and deliveries as difficult. I found out I was in labor a week early when I went to my scheduled check-up. I went home and grabbed my bag, then to my office to let them know I'd be out for a bit... and then on to the hospital. My dr. appt was at 9am. By 2pm I had my baby in my arms and had visitors from my office. That was MY first baby. I am now 8 wks pregnangt with my 2nd and am hoping for a repeat performance. Good luck to you. Take all the other stories with a grain of salt.posted 09/12/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I had a horrible delivery of my son, it would scare anyone. But you get past it I am on baby three. It isn't that badposted 09/12/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Deena, Interesting that it is even happening here when your issue is that women are telling you horror stories. My first daughter was born after a 27 hour - Medication free and pain free labor, and my closest friends never thought I could do it. I used a technique called hypnobirthing. I don't know how far along you are but check out hypnobabies.com or hypnobirthing.com for more info. What I did - which usually stopped women in their tracks - when they started with horror stories was explain that I had enough concerns without them adding to the list and that I believe that women can have pain free births. They don't know what to say. The people who say that pain is natural or inevitable did experience pain and I do not discount that but your body is designed to do this and women all over the world do it now and have done it for thousands of years without pain. Consider this, if an animal can go lay down in a dark corner and give birth, sometimes to multiple babies, peacefully and calmly without drugs, why can't we. I am not saying my experience was "comfortable" the entire time, it most definately was work, but I was not in pain and I don't believe you have to be in pain. If you wanted to be a little less politically correct you might look at them and ask if they are trying to scare you or if they know how awful it sounds to tell something like that to a first time mom, they may never have considered it that way before.posted 09/12/2005 by Audreys Mom
Did anyone else have people telling them horror stories about the ENTIRE 9 months of pregnancy?? When I started telling people I was pregnant, I was overwhelmed by all the stories that warned of dangers that I still haven't read about here online or heard from my doctor. People told me how sick I would be, that I may be in the hospital the whole 9 months, that ultrasounds will hurt the baby...all kinds of things! Thankfully, I took it all with a grain of salt... and so far, everything's been fine.posted 09/12/2005 by jeniroca
I was really scared about being in labor with my first child. I too had heard the horrors of child birth. Once I started to go into labor, it was a really wonderful event in my life. I just kept focused on the fact that I was finally going to see my daughter for the first time. I did opt for drugs, which I believe helped a great deal. I am now going to have twins in April of 2006 and hoping a I don't have to have a C-section. Good luck and enjoy this wonderful event in your life.posted 09/12/2005 by kars1999
Unfortunately, some people just don't think before they speak. We're getting the same thing about the name we picked for our baby. So, we've stopped telling people. If I get any lip about her name once she's born (it's not that different, just a little old fashioned), I'll know then that these people are truly insensitive and I do not need them around me. What is it about pregnancy that encourages those around us to disregard our feelings? Regarding labor, I discourage any and all labor stories. Hearing horror stories is only going to make me worry. I'm taking a childbirth class - that's enough preparation for me. If millions of women can give birth every day, we can manage to get through it too!posted 09/12/2005 by lvnthismamathing
I had an uneasy 1st labor but I wont tell u about it. all the pain was gone the second I saw my baby boy and held him in my arms. I heared of 1-hour birth & I've been 24-hours at the labor room... u see evry labor is different from each other. It may hurt u like hell or u may fill a little ache...posted 09/12/2005 by nuritab
You need to politely tell them that you don't care to hear horror stories about labor! Good grief! Enjoy your pregnancy, don't worry about delivery. Talk to your OB if you're worried - he or she will be MUCH more qualified to give you information about what is likely to happen to you! If someone insists and just ignores your request, get up and LEAVE! This is a time to be enjoying what is happening inside you - labor will come, labor will go! Take a lamaze class (or the like) and learn. Then realize, you're getting a BABY soon!!! ENJOY!!!posted 09/12/2005 by caslinrac
Poor thing Deena. Read some great books like Childbirth Without Fear and Active Birth. My first childs birth was a wonderful drug free experience for me. I kept active, did not lie down except when I had to have a VE and used hot water and massage as pain relief. Remember our bodies are designed to do this, and it is (hopefully) only one day of your life. Getting the hang of things like breastfeeding and toddler temper tantrums can make childbirth feel like a walk in the park.posted 09/12/2005 by a BabyCenter Member

Explain the origin of Bio electric signals.
Origin of Bio-electric Signal: Action-potential across the cell is responsible for all bio-electric signals because the bio-electric signal from anybody organ are combined effect of bio-potential across the cell in that organ.
There are two main elements which are responsible for potential generation semi permeable membrane and ions (Na+\ K\ Cl") present in the surrounding of cell.
In complete potential generation process the cell boundary (membrane) characteristic play important role, because it has following properties:
11) If cell is resting the membrane allows the entrance of K/ion more than other.
(ii! If any external stimulus is applied at cell than
Rate of Na+ > Rate of K+ outside
Three main subprocess takes place in potential generation across cell:
(1) CeI1 polarization (ii) Cell depolarization
(iii) Cell repolarization
When cell at rest Kr move inside and chemical imbalance occur and due to th. t cell polarized. Now if external stimulus applied it maintains the charge inside and charge outside this called cell polarization.
Now, when stimulus is removed after sometime cell becomes at rest and repolarization takes place. In generation of action potential cell follows "all or nothing law."
According to that "Peak value of action potential does not depends upon strength of stimulus."

DAYTON – Kevin Yogi Ferrell made the opening minutes of his first NCAA tournament game memorable.
The Indiana freshman scored the first nine points of the No. 1 seed Hoosiers' 83-62 victory over No. 16 seed James Madison in the second-round game Friday in University of Dayton Arena.
I know I'm a freshman, but I'm just trying to get out there and make plays, Ferrell said.
I know I'm small. They always say the little guy can't go out there and do anything. I'm just out there proving them wrong a little bit. To go out there and score the first 12 or so (points) made me feel good.
The 6-foot guard finished with 16 points on 7-of-12 shooting after going 6 for 6 in the first half, and he had eight rebounds and six assists against the Dukes (21-15).
He's just a very mature young man that's got an extremely short memory, IU coach Tom Crean said. He just plays, and he moves on, and he moves right on from it. I didn't even realize that he had six assists, one turnover inside of that time, and we got him some good rest too.
So the eight rebounds were big because we need more guard rebounds, and when he rebounds the ball, we're much better because that break starts so fast. So that's a very, very positive thing, but he had great confidence shooting the ball.
Indiana (28-6) will play No. 9 seed Temple (24-9) in the third round of the East Regional on Sunday.
The Owls advanced with a 76-72 win over No. 8 seed North Carolina State (24-11) in Friday's earlier second-round game.
The winner of Sunday's game will advance to the Sweet 16 in Washington, D.C., next week.
We know (Temple) is a great team, and they have great players, Indiana guard Victor Oladipo said. And they are well coached.
Ferrell began his NCAA tournament introduction by scoring on three straight layups. He added a three-pointer with 16:42 to play in the first half.
Ferrell then added an assist on a Cody Zeller dunk and hit a three-pointer.
He followed that with a layup before assisting on another Zeller dunk to give the Hoosiers an 18-5 lead with 14 minutes to play in the first half.
IU took a 43-22 lead into halftime and the lead never dropped below 19 points in the second half.
It makes us a tough team to guard, because we have so many different guys that can score, Zeller said.
Once Yogi got going, it opened up everything else.
Will Sheehey scored 15 for the Hoosiers, and Zeller and Oladipo each added 11 points.
Jordan Hulls scored 10, and Christian Watford had nine points
Oladipo had one steal to give him 75 for the season to break Isiah Thomas' school record of 74 set in 1980-81.
We played pretty well today, Oladipo said.
There are some little things that we got to get corrected. We are going to look at the film and apply them to the next game, because we got a big game Sunday.
James Madison was held to 26-for-62 shooting and attempted only four free throws, making two.
Andre Nation scored 24 for the Dukes, and Charles Cooke added 18.
The Hoosiers outscored the Dukes 36-20 in the paint and finished with a 38-28 rebounding edge.
I feel like we clearly lost to a better team today, James Madison coach Matt Brady said.
Watching them on tape and trying to prepare your team for Indiana is one thing, and then being on the court with them and having our team play against those guys with the speed and power with which they run play and the quickness with which they pass the ball was really impressive.
Hats off to Indiana.

Anyone else who have tried Goldkenn's origins bars? There are three: Sto Domingo 70%, Trinidad 60%, Venezuela 72%. To me, they all tasted very similar, (except for difference in sweetness), and they had a typical forastero areoma in the bottom, under a full, but sort of flat taste, without personlaity. THey were also very fat, and the label also states cocoa butter before cocoa mass. An there was a taste i suspect to be vanillin, although I cannot know – the label stated vanilla.

Works such as the oil painting "Poetry" by Cynthia Tollefsrud will be at the River Gallery from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday.
"She's a Fighter," by Alpharetta, Ga.-based mixed media sculptor Kirsten Stingle.
* What: "Narrative Gestures," featuring sculptures by Kirsten Stingle and paintings by Cynthia Tollefsrud.
* When: Through Oct. 31.
* Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Saturday; 1-5 p.m. Sunday.
* Where: River Gallery, 400 E. Second St.
* Admission: Free.
* Phone: 265-5033, ext. 5.
* Website: www.river-gallery.com
The Light side and Dark side of human existence is a concept with which fans of "Star Wars" are intimately familiar, and River Gallery is exhibiting two artists whose work explores both sides of that spectrum.
Knoxville, Tenn.-based oil painter Cynthia Tollefsrud and Alpharetta, Ga.-based mixed media sculptor Kirsten Stingle are featured in the exhibition, "Narrative Gestures."
Stingle's pieces combine pale clay figures with found objects, creating stark, often-monochrome sculptures that are discomfiting and — at first — grimly inscrutable. This body of work is the result of an intentional exploration of the uncomfortable thoughts and aspects of existence that most people would rather sweep under the rug, she says.
"Sometimes before, when I've done festivals, people don't like work that makes them a little uncomfortable. They want to dwell on that polite veneer of the happier places," Stingle says. "It's not that my work doesn't have that light side of wonder and joy, but I feel like, with this body of work, I wanted to show the darker layers because they're what make us human.
"We don't like to talk about it, but we all have those darker layers, but it's how we deal with those layers that defines us."
Stingle began sculpting a decade ago, but before that, she was an actress-turned-public-policy analyst living in New York City. In the aftermath of 9/11, she turned to manipulating clay rather than the often-fruitless work of manipulating politicians.
Although it shares little obvious connection to her artwork, Stingle says storytelling has always been a driving force in her life, whether by treading the boards or collecting the stories of those affected by welfare. In the case of her River Gallery works, the story is front and center, but it takes time to be fully appreciated.
"I don't want to dictate the story to you," she explains. "I want the viewer to bring their own interpretation to the piece, their own perspective and, as they spend more time with it, a dialogue can develop, and that's where the storytelling is."
In stark contrast to Stingle, Tollefsrud's paintings are rife with bright colors, fanciful subjects and playfully posed women modeled on the artist.
At the onset of her career, after leaving the world of commercial art in the 1990s, Tollefsrud submitted two paintings for consideration to a juried show at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City. One was "very dark, very angry," the other "very happy and peaceful." The judges' decision to show the uplifting work, she says, set her on a lifelong path of depicting artistic whimsy.
"Ever since then, everything has been very happy and peaceful and fun," she says. "It's funny how that directed my paintings.
"It hangs with me, that happy feeling I get when I do these paintings. That's just the way I am. I'd rather be happy than grumpy, anyway."
Despite the diametrically opposed goals of the artists on display, "Narrative Gestures" was not intended to be an exhibition of polar opposites, says gallery spokeswoman Angie Supan.
"I don't think we intentionally chose to exhibit them based on that, but we love both of their works, and we think they're really great married together," says Supan. "I don't think that was planned, but it's interesting."

IRIN Plus News: HIV-positive women still confused about infant-feeding choices
December 9, 2011
ADDIS ABABA- The latest guidelines on infant-feeding options for HIV-positive mothers in Africa have not been disseminated in many countries, leaving women dangerously confused about the best nutritional path to protect their children from contracting the virus, a new report shows.
The UN World Health Organization's (WHO) 2010 guidelines recommend exclusive breastfeeding with an antiretroviral (ARV) treatment intervention for the first six months of a child's life to reduce transmission, and continued breastfeeding - with complementary feeding - until the child is at least a year old. Alternatively - where it is acceptable, feasible, affordable, sustainable and safe - WHO recommends complete avoidance of all breastfeeding.
For HIV-positive mothers in most sub-Saharan African nations, exclusive breastfeeding is the most practical option. According to a large African study, Kesho Bora, giving HIV-positive mothers a combination of three ARVs during pregnancy, delivery and breastfeeding cuts HIV infections in infants by 43 percent by the age of 12 months and reduces transmissions during breastfeeding by 54 percent compared with WHO's 2006 recommendations, where ARV drug regimens ended at delivery.
"The six months of exclusive breastfeeding is what is crucial for mothers to understand - that not doing it is what raises the child's HIV risk; but we are finding that while many countries have officially adopted the WHO guidelines, they have not trickled down, and health centres, policy-makers and communities are still unclear on what advice to give mothers," said Aditi Sharma, of the International Treatment Preparedness Coalition (ITPC), and coordinator of a report, The Long Walk: Ensuring comprehensive care for women and families to end vertical transmission.
Based on new research by community health workers from Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Ethiopia and Nigeria, the report - launched at the 16th International Conference on AIDS and STIs in Africa (ICASA) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia - found that prevention of mother-to-child transmission programmes were focused too narrowly on the provision of ARVs to HIV-positive pregnant women, rather than more comprehensive approaches that involved family planning, maternal healthcare and exclusive breastfeeding.
"Nutritional counseling doesn't exist in rural areas," the report quoted one Cameroonian woman as saying. "Health personnel are not trained and women do not know how to care for their children."
In Cote d'Ivoire, the report found that national guidelines did not meet the most recent WHO recommendations on infant feeding.
Although the Nigerian government had revised guidelines to comply with the WHO, consensus did not exist in support of the recommendations, and some clinicians and researchers continued to oppose breastfeeding because they believed it deliberately exposed babies to possible HIV infection. Several focus group participants indicated they assumed that replacement feeding was preferable to breastfeeding, and that it had been recommended by health practitioners.
"The guidance on infant-feeding options needs to urgently get into the curriculum and training of health workers and other people who support community healthcare, such as traditional birth attendants," said Sharma, adding that efforts needed to be made to support mothers to exclusively breastfeed their children.
"It is not enough to issue guidelines - in places where women may complain of insufficient breast milk or inadequate nutrition, they need nutritional support to ensure they can continue to exclusively breastfeed," she added.
Conference speakers said community health systems were crucial to the success of prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission services, as community health workers and traditional birth attendants were often the first port of call for a confused mother. Community health systems can also be used to engage men - frequently absent from ante-natal visits - in their wives' experiences.
Supporting partners
Beatrice Ochieng, author of a study on infant feeding choices in poor settings in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, noted that just 23 percent of 357 women in the study discussed their chosen feeding option with their partners. "There is a need to support partner involvement through partner counselling and testing, during antenatal and postnatal care," she said.
According to Ncumisa Vika, who works with the Elizabeth Glaser Paediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) in South Africa, male involvement in reproductive health services, including PMTCT, remains low, creating challenges and barriers around disclosure of HIV-positive status to a partner, psychosocial support, adherence to treatment, and infant-feeding decisions. In 2010, in collaboration with community health organizations in South Africa's Tshwane District, EGPAF was able to send invitation letters to the partners of all HIV-positive women who attended antenatal clinics, which boosted male participation in reproductive and family health matters.
Overall, ITPC's Sharma said, there was a need for more comprehensive delivery prevention of mother-to-child services in Africa. "Countries must ensure that policy filters down to the women in all aspects of PMTCT - from HIV prevention for women to family planning, to the best ARV prophylaxis option to proper infant feeding to proper healthcare for the mother, child and family," she said. "It is the only way we can achieve the 2015 targets of reducing vertical transmission by 90 percent."

MI Choice Waiver ProgramClick here to access the MI Choice Waiver Amendment Documents
Nursing homes used to be the only choice for older or disabled persons who needed help caring for themselves. Today there may be the choice to stay in your home or a community setting, but you or a family member may need assistance in doing so.
One program run by Michigan Medicaid is the MI Choice Waiver Program. It began in 1992 as the Home and Community Based Services for the Elderly and Disabled (HCBS/ED) waiver program. We now know it as the MI Choice Waiver Program, or simply, "the waiver."
Through this program, eligible adults who meet income and asset criteria can receive Medicaid-covered services like those provided by nursing homes, but can stay in their own home or another residential setting. The waiver became available in all Michigan counties October 1, 1998. Each participant can receive the basic services Michigan Medicaid covers, and one or more of the following services unique to the waiver:
The Waiver Agency Region Map and list of Waiver Agents below will make it easier to contact the MI Choice Waiver Agency in your community who can provide you with more information. To identify the waiver agency in your community, see the Waiver Agency Region Map. After finding your region on the map, refer to the List of Waiver Agents by Region.

I am in a 'nesting' mood, and as I've been slaving away making floor plans and detailed drawings for built-in storage (and a kitchen!)...I can't help but smile and feel utterly psyched for our exodus from studio-living to an adequately spacious one-bedroom flat. What makes it more exciting is having the baby girl in mind. Somehow everything is falling into place right on time for her arrival.
I can imagine her giggling and making saliva bubbles in her crib, crawling then walking everywhere... and what my safety-paranoid self is preparing for: her climbing/running/exploring phase. I'm also pretty excited for the messy art stuff. It makes it somewhat challenging but more fulfilling for me to layout the space -we'll be staying in the new place for a while (until we've saved up enough for a house)...so we're designing this home specifically for her to grow up in.
Of course, I'm making sure the husband gets his very reasonable requests in. hehe.
I'm loving warm grey and how it can go with anything. The color scheme I'm thinking of using is based on the existing furniture, accessories and beddings we have now.
Here are just some of the images that have inspired me:

While the stock market is once again in a downward spiral, one thing has been on the rise: Gold. Now that the going rate for the precious metal has doubled since 2007--it's currently over $1,700 an ounce for pure gold and experts say it hasn't even reached it's peak price yet--it might just be time to cash in. Like with anything you're buying or selling, comparison shop to avoid scams (there are many in this field). The Better Business Bureau recommends you get two to three estimates for what your stuff is worth before settling on a buyer. To find reputable dealers, money.org is a good place to start.

Via Larry Brown Sports:
NFL quarterbacks are nothing if not fearless. It takes a particular type of person to step into a throw knowing they are about to get decked by a 300-pound defensive end, but that's why there are only 32 NFL starting quarterbacks in the world at a given moment. Carolina Panthers signal-caller Cam Newton may not be afraid of getting laid out, but he was once afraid of getting hit by a pitch.
During a recent feature for ESPN the Magazine, Newton talked about how he played baseball as a kid and was pretty good at it, playing a number of different positions and looking up to Ken Griffey Jr. He started playing football at age 7, but he dabbled in other sports until middle school.
"I quit baseball at 14 because I was afraid of the pitches," Newton said. "The kids started getting better and throwing faster, and it would've hurt getting hit by that ball, so I stopped playing. That left a void, so I started playing basketball in the eighth grade."
Newton said he got frustrated with basketball because he was bigger and stronger than the other kids and ended up fouling out too much. But the burning question of how a big kid like Cam could be afraid of a baseball and not an opposing linebacker was something his mother was confused by as well.
"My mom always wondered how I could be afraid of a little baseball when I always had these huge guys chasing me," he said. "It's a good question."
Sometimes fears have more to do with the actual phobia than being afraid of pain. I'm sure plenty of NFL stars are afraid of spiders and things of that nature. The question is, did Newton do a lot of sulking before he finally decided to quit baseball? We know that tends to be his thing.

A moving project will slow down traffic in Lafayette Parish during the day Tuesday. A crew will be hauling two massive oilfield skids from Carencro to the Vermilion River at E. Broussard Road near Milton. The skids will be moved down LA 182 beginning at 9:00 A. M. From there, the skids will turn onto Renaud Drive before heading down Ambassador Caffery, Johnston Street, and then E. Broussard Road.
The moving crews says traffic will be reduced to a crawl during the operation so workers can lift electrical lines along the route as the skids pass. The company moving the skids say they should be on Ambassador Caffery between I-10 and Johnston Street between noon at 2:00 P. M.

The great age of trade, which was established by the Ryukyu Kingdom throughout East Asia, ended with the appearance of the Western European powers in the 16th century. The amicable trade relationship which had been built with Japan began to show changes. The Shimazu Clan of Satsuma began to approach the Ryukyus with territorial ambitions, eventually culminating in a Satsuma invasion of the Ryukyu Kingdom with a Shogunate sponsored military force in 1609. The Ryukyu Kingdom, weak militarily and having virtually no experience in battle after long peaceful years as a kingdom, was subordinated, without any real resistance, under the Satsuma clan.
Shimazu Invasion of the Ryukyus
The Shimazu invasion did not result in the dismantlement of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and its hegemony by Satsuma was concealed from China. Satsuma imposed taxes to be paid in rice and other commodities. The lucrative trade and many other facets of life were controlled by their rules. The Ryukyus were also required to send processions to Edo (Tokyo) to pay obeisance to the Shogunate.
Within this age of disorder, the Ryukyus were fortunate to have had the appearance of bold and able reform leaders such as Choshu Haneji and Saion. Facing up to the reality of Satsuma domination, they tried to save the Ryukyu Kingdom through policies based on cooperation with the Satsuma clan. It was time that the traditional political system of the Ancient Ryukyus ended and the road to a new modern age in the Ryukyu Kingdom opened up.
Reconstruction of the Ryukyu Kingdom
The Latter Period Ryukyus was an age of even more advancement and development. The kingdom actively absorbed culture from Japan and China. Harmonizing the diverse cultural influences from Japan and China developed most of the Ryukyuan culture's rich distinctiveness. The traditional Okinawan culture we enjoy today was cultivated in this early modern age.

|Looking towards the south from the top of Mireuksan Mountain, one can see Geumma Reservoir. The reservoir is shaped like the Korean peninsula. Hence it is also referred to as Jido Yeonmot, or Map Pond. The terrain is especially beautiful when viewing it through the fog in the early mornings.
The water comes from Mireuksan Mountain, ensuring a steady supply of water throughout the year. There are no factories or other contaminants nearby so the water quality is of the highest grade. Near the reservoir, one can find Seodong Park and Mahan Hall. Seodong Park is a sculpture park displaying various sculptures such as a bronze statue of Baekje's King Muwang of Baekje and a statue of Seodong's Princess Seonhwa. Mahan Hall showcases the lifestyle and culture of Mahan, a tribal confederation during the Samhan period. The park also features various facilities such as an observatory, fishing spot and a promenade.

16-month-old boy with lung disease enjoys 1st day in park
By STEFANO ESPOSITO Staff Reporter August 9, 2013 8:04PM
Article Extras
Updated: September 12, 2013 6:36AM
Max Allender did not splash in the fountain with the other children. He did not dig in the sand pit, and he tolerated a kiddie swing for about two minutes.
But for the first time in a life spent almost entirely within the stark sterility of hospital walls, 16-month-old Max did what most toddlers consider a basic right — he took a trip to the park.
"Today is the first day he's going out for fun — ever," said Max's single mom, Jessica Allender, as she pushed Max and his twin sister, Coral, in a double stroller from 61st and University in Woodlawn to Bixler Playlot some six blocks away.
"Fun" is a relative term when you have a silicon tube poked down your throat to help you breathe and your stroller is equipped with a ventilator, an oxygen tank and a machine with an intermittent bleep — the kind that brings to mind a delivery truck backing up.
Max and his sister were born 26 weeks premature in Evanston. While Coral has thrived, relatively speaking, Max has been dealing with chronic lung disease.
"What his body is trying to do is build healthy lung tissue and grow, so that way he can be strong enough to breath on his own without a ventilator," said Lindsey Hird-McCorry, one of Max's nurses at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital, where he spent eight months.
Hird-McCorry said there's no way to predict the future, adding that it could be a couple of years before Max finally can be rid of the tubes and bulky equipment that go everywhere he goes.
"Yesterday, we had four people come to the house before noon — just for Max," said his grandmother, Suzanne Allender.
Max squinted and fussed in the bright sunlight Friday, as the Allenders wound their way through Hyde Park on their way to the playlot.
"But he's not crying and he's looking at stuff," his mother said.
Other mothers with their toddlers stared as the Allenders strolled through the park gate — probably because they'd come with a media pack in tow.
A small story in the Hyde Park Herald told of Max's planned trip to the park. Elaine Wackerly, 35, read that story. She came to the park Friday with her two children and a gift for the Allenders: a bottle of wine for mom, some books for the twins — and the name of a good therapist.
"I'm so proud of you — you made it," said Wackerly, whose youngest son was also born premature.
After Max's difficult swing experience, Jessica Allender found a shady spot — a little removed from the other children's shrieks and giggles. She lay Max on a blanket and gently stroked his forehead. He seemed to like it.
"It's the start of a good tradition," Allender said.

New systems optimise productivity and safety on offshore platforms
Honeywell received an order from Gaz de France (GDF) Production Nederland B.V. for process automation and information management systems at two of the company's new gas production platforms in the North Sea.
The Honeywell Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) and the process information management system will connect the new standalone platforms with another GDF platform, facilitating communication and knowledge sharing, and enabling superior visibility into the company's entire operations.
The Experion system will be delivered at the end of this year, and the two new platforms will begin production in July 2005. Delivery of the process information management system is slated for February 2005.
Honeywell will provide the new platforms with one redundant Experion PKS server with dual-screen operator stations, one redundant Experion C200 controller with Foundation Fieldbus, one redundant Fail Safe Control (FSC) emergency shutdown system, one redundant Fire and Gas system, marshalling cabinets, and all related software and hardware services. In addition, Honeywell will deliver a Uniformance PHD system at all of the Gaz de France offshore gas production platforms in the North Sea.
The Honeywell process information management system will store process-related information and production data originating from the different gas production platforms. Gas production reports will be generated automatically and sent to users at various on- and offshore sites. All related software activities, such as configuration, programming and commissioning are part of the project. On- and offshore operators will interface with the new system using Microsoft Internet Explorer through the Honeywell Production Control Center (PCC).
"An important feature of PCC is that it runs on our standard office PCs, using normal browser software," said Paul Orzeske, vice president, Europe, Middle East and Africa for Honeywell Process Solutions. "This helps to simplify Gaz de France processes and ultimately reduce their hardware, software and operator training costs. Gaz de France also can reduce maintenance costs because all offshore service visits for the distributed control, emergency shutdown, and process information management systems can be handled by Honeywell."
Gaz de France is an integrated energy company specializing in the exploration, production, transportation and storage of natural gas.
Honeywell International is a $26 billion diversified technology and manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings, homes and industry; automotive products; turbochargers; and specialty materials. Based in Morris Township, N.J., Honeywell's shares are traded on the New York, London, Chicago and Pacific Stock Exchanges. It is one of the 30 stocks that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average and is also a component of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.

AP Sports Writer
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Less than a week after the Indians' turnaround season ended with a playoff loss, manager Terry Francona has already made changes for next season.
Francona said Monday that third-base coach Brad Mills will rejoin him in the dugout as his bench coach in 2014. Mills spent four seasons (1997-2000) as Francona's bench coach in Philadelphia and six (2004-09) alongside him in Boston. Francona said Sandy Alomar Jr. will return to first base after one season as bench coach and that first-base coach Mike Sarbaugh will replace Mills at third.
There could be more changes if Alomar is hired as a manager. He is reportedly a candidate with the Chicago Cubs.
Francona and Indians general manager Chris Antonetti discussed Cleveland's 92-win season, which ended with a loss to Tama Bay in the wild-card game, and offseason plans.

Are you a writer trying to get published? We've been there, both in the traditional publishing trenches and in the independent, battling to produce a worthy, salable book. The good news is, independently published books are economical to produce and the rewards are innumerable. If you've been doing some research, you know there are many companies willing to take your manuscript and turn it into an eBook. If you're like most indie writers, however, you're working on a book in your spare time and you can't afford to spend a lot of money on a project that may not see much of a return. Not many writers are able to earn a living on royalties. One thing you can afford is time, especially if the return is the rewarding ability to publish your book yourself. That's where we can help. We're committed to helping you learn how. We'll also teach you how to create a winning author's page and a book video trailer that you'll need to help promote your new eBook once it's available for sale.

Don't avoid the inevitableDecember 09,2012Over the last several months, Ive dealt with a lot of death.
My youngest brother died in April. My father-in-law died in October, and a friends grandmother passed away in November. The day after Thanksgiving, a close friend who was more like my sister died in an automobile accident.
Id like to share with you what Ive realized from all this tragedy: Get your house in order.
Im not suggesting that you live in fear of death, but I am asking you to do what my 54-year-old friend, Juanita Ann Waller, did for the people who loved her. She left her personal affairs and her apartment in an awesomely organized manner.
I know youve heard this advice from me before. Ive stressed over the years how important it is to have an estate plan. But Juanitas death has touched me like few others. She was always thinking of her family and friends, and what she left behind is a testimony to her thoughtfulness.
Yes, she had a will, life insurance and the necessary paperwork to take care of her estate. But there was a higher level of organization in her affairs than Ive ever seen.
Juanita had a place for everything. She cataloged what was in her file cabinet. She had a composition notebook that detailed what was in each cabinet drawer. As a result, when our mutual friends packed up her belongings, we didnt have to look through her private papers to be able to label the boxes.
She kept binders of her awards and accolades, including a letter to her signed by President Obama, protected behind plastic sheets. She had sent Obama an email saying she was praying for him, and the White House responded.
There wasnt a single junk drawer in her apartment. There were no stacks of papers on her desk threatening to unleash an avalanche of craziness on the floor. Nor did she have bags of papers stuffed in corners or in her closets.
She didnt even have a trash can because there wasnt much waste to throw away. Her closets werent overstuffed. Her pantry and refrigerator werent overstocked with food that would take months to eat or go to waste. There wasnt a single item in any room that we could tell went unused for very long.
My friend could have been the spokeswoman for the simplicity movement, which strives to get people to reduce their consumption and material possessions. Her place was so tidy and uncluttered that I wept. It made me ashamed of my personal living space, my cluttered office and my hoarding of things that long ago should have been tossed or donated.
Over the years, Ive promised myself to get organized. But whenever I clean my office, its cluttered again only a few weeks later with piles of papers sitting in stacks on the floor.
Just think about this: If you were to die, how long would it take for people to go through your stuff? How many hours would they have to take off from their jobs to find and organize your personal property? Could they find your will? Where would they look for any instructions on your estate? Have you written down in a secure place the passwords to your computer or phone so friends and family can contact people if you pass away?
I wouldnt characterize Juanita as obsessive with her orderliness. She never lorded it over anyone or criticized us for our clutter.
No, Juanita was organized for a purpose. She never wanted to cause confusion. Clutter can contribute to a sense of unease because you cant easily put your hands on the things you need or the things others might need on your behalf. Every year, Juanita would purge her place of unneeded items, another friend recalled.
Juanita kept copious notes in her day planner and in notebooks, to remind herself and others, especially me, of things we needed to take care of. This practice gave comfort to her family who could see their special events or moments documented over the years. No loose paper or sticky notes for her.
As we were boxing up Juanitas possessions, we all felt embarrassed, mortified. We, in our abundance, saw a woman who kept only what she needed, knowing it was more than enough.
We all pledged to spend some time organizing and getting rid of stuff as a remembrance of Juanita, who gave an abundance of hugs. We promised her that wed get our houses in order.

Saturday 9th to Saturday 16th June
Saturday 9th. A moderate westerly that quickly decreased in strength and veered into the NW meant that the winch was brought out of its storage area, parked near the launch point in readiness for being taken to the end of runway 24, but not used. Instead, 12 ATs were flown off runway 24, the change in wind direction and strength leading to some interesting climb outs as the tug/glider combination flew into the curl over at the edge of the hill. On the other hand subsequent approaches onto runway 30 were reasonably straightforward. The National Rally week of the Vintage Gliding Club at Sutton Bank officially ended today and it was therefore fitting that Mr Kerley, one of its members, topped the endurance stakes with a flight of 56 minutes in somewhat tricky soaring conditions. However, most people managed at least 30 minutes in the air. YGC member, Bob Calvert, another of the 6 private owners to launch, had 45 minutes in his Discus, while Martyn Johnson/Ken Duxbury flying K21 JVZ, had 28 minutes. 2 seaters were the only club gliders to be flown, 2 of these flights for Trial Lesson pupils, but the flying day came to an abrupt halt when an intense thunderstorm developed close by, bringing a torrential downpour that resulted in the office roof leaking, the severity of the leak being 6 on the bucket scale. The local A168 was closed by floods near Topcliffe but the rain wasn't all bad news as the opportunity was taken for the simulator to be put to use.
Sunday 10th. A day of initially light and variable winds but with low cloud and showers delayed launches for a while, but eventually 22 ATs were flown, 2 by private owners and the rest in 3 of the club's two seaters and the Discus. Developing soaring conditions led to 4 flights over an hour. with Rob Bailey in the Discus and Andy Hatfield in Astir EBM having 2:14 and 2:09 respectively. Rob Calvert in his Discus and Colin Troise flying the DG1000 solo had 1:43 and 1:04 each. 3 Trial Lesson pupils were flown and John Marsh/L Sucharov had the best of the two seater flights with 43 minutes in K21 KLW.
Monday 11th. A light to moderate NNE'ly airstream brought in extensive low cloud, complete with showers and eventually more general rain so no flying was possible.
Tuesday 12th. The wind had stayed in the NNE and remained light to moderate, but with a higher cloudbase and fewer showers, flying started at around 1030 hrs and continued until around 1630 hrs by which time 16 ATs had been flown. 2 of the 3 private owners rigging, Rob Bailey in his ASG 29t and Lindsay McLane in his Ventus2t contributed to the 4 pilots who exceeded an hour in the air, Rob clocking up the longest recorded time in the air with 2:46. Some of this time was spent pair flying with Lindsay out to the east coast where the cloud base was significantly lower at around 1500′ in places. Lindsay then departed to the south leaving Rob to visit Scarborough before visiting Pocklington and cloud bases of 5000′ before overdevelopment led to a return to Sutton. Bob Calvert and Denise Grimshaw had 1:45 in the DG1000 while Jesper Mjels had 1:27 in the Discus. Mike Wood, flying the Astir just failed to beat the 1 hour mark with a flight of 53 minutes. 2 Trial Lesson pupils had a pleasant introduction to gliding.
Wednesday 13th. The light flow from the NNE continued with soaring conditions improving slightly compared to Tuesday. 21 ATs were flown, with 3 two seaters and 4 single seaters of the club fleet and 2 private owners contributing launches. Ron Beezer demonstrated that soaring was possible of the first flight of the day with 2:08 in the Discus, but Rob Bailey was again aloft for the longest time, with 3:04 in his ASG 29t transiting Durham Tees Valley airspace for an O/R to Durham before visiting the east coast again and dodging hail showers. The period from 1100 hrs to 14oo hrs provided the most consistent soaring period of the day, during which Bob Calvert/Denise Grimshaw had 2:01 in the DG1000 and Mike Wood clocked up 1:12 flying the T21 solo. Mike Cox, an early solo pilot, had 1:15 of his second launch of the day to obtain a Bronze C leg. Well done, Mike. Just to prove that soaring was possible later in the day, Andy Parish accompanied by Heinrich Hoeth had 1:10 in the DG1000. All in all, 6 flights exceeded an hour and there was also time for 2 Trial Lesson pupils to be flown, one of whom, N Armstrong, had 42 minutes in the air in the company of Brian Wise in K21 KLW.
Thursday 14th. The early, moderate ESE'ly freshened and backed into the E as the day progressed, eventually causing a change of runway from 02 to 06. 28 ATs were flown, the first few having to be terminated at 1500′ QFE due to the relatively low cloud base. All the day's flights were in club 2 seaters with all 4 utilised as Resh Khodabocus's new doctors group were introduced to gliding on a corporate day, 22 of the day's ATs being undertaken for this purpose. With no opportunities to soar, circuits were the order of the day, with Derek Smith/A Neep and Les Rayment/G Cardwell managing 20 minutes each in the DG500 and K21 JVZ respectively to provide the longest flights of the day. Flying was of course combined with a good cooked lunch courtesy of Brian so a good day was had by all, as the following photos show, the first showing the new doctors group and the second the same group with the YGC tuggies and instructors who provided the flying experience.
Friday 15th. A day of frequent, heavy showers kept the gliders in the hangars.
Saturday 16th. A deep depression centred over the country meant of day of general rain and strengthening S'ly winds as a series of fronts crossed the site. No flying was possible, so the competitors for the first day of the Northerns were welcomed by Competition director Andy Parish, introduced to the Northern's team and requested to return for a briefing at 1000 hrs on Sunday 17th June when improved conditions were anticipated. The only flying of the day was on the simulator.

If you're as tired of prepackaged, supermarket pâté as I am, then head over to Euro Bread & Cafe (6874 Stirling Rd., Davie, 954-587-3876) in the newly opened The Shops at Stirling Place. Among other upscale items, including Dijon mustard blended with blue cheese and truffle vinaigrette with Meyer lemons, the cafe -- French, not pan-European -- offers three kinds of pâté. Purveyed from a French charcuterie out of California, these country-style terrines and mousses are cut fresh while you wait, and if you can't make up your mind, you can even get a sample. Or choose one of the three for a baguette sandwich, and wash it down with fresh-squeezed orange juice or a double cappuccino.

Kansas Wheat Innovation Center Open House set for April 26
Ushering in a new era of investment in wheat research, the Kansas Wheat Commission will proudly host a Ribbon Cutting and Open House of the Kansas Wheat Innovation Center, April 26 in Manhattan. The event begins at 1:30 p.m. and is open to the public.
"We are excited to share the story of how the Kansas Wheat Innovation Center will lead the way in new wheat research that gives Kansas wheat farmers the tools to produce high-yielding, high-quality wheat varieties that will continue to feed the world," said Rich Randall, chairman of the Kansas Wheat Commission and farmer near Scott City. "The world population is expected to reach 9 billion people by 2050. The KWIC will play a big role in helping U.S. wheat farmers meet the population's growing demand for food."
The $10.3 million Kansas Wheat Innovation Center was built by the Kansas Wheat Commission, through the penny-and-a-half Kansas wheat checkoff. It represents the single largest investment by wheat farmers in the nation. The Center was built on land owned by Kansas State University; the Kansas Wheat Commission has a 50-year lease on the property.
"The KWIC fulfills a vision held by generations of Kansas wheat leaders, that Kansas will always be known as 'The Wheat State,'" said Justin Gilpin, chief executive officer of the Kansas Wheat Commission.
After brief remarks by wheat growers leaders and staff leaders, the official ribbon cutting will be symbolized by cutting an 8-foot-long loaf of bread. Following that, tours of the KWIC will take place. Refreshments will be served.
If you plan on attending, please RSVP at firstname.lastname@example.com , or call 866-75-WHEAT.
Kansas Wheat Innovation Center in focus
Construction on the $10.3 million Kansas Wheat Innovation Center began in October 2011 and the facility was completed in November 2012. Kansas Wheat staff moved in the last week of November 2012.
The KWIC features 35,000 square feet of space, including:
15,000 square feet of research laboratories. This space is currently occupied by Heartland Plant Innovations, where researchers are developing "doubled haploid" wheat lines, which enable pure lines of wheat to be developed quickly, reducing the time needed to create wheat varieties by about 50 percent. The laboratory section features 13 environmentally controlled growth rooms, in which young plants can be grown in a controlled environment. The laboratories include space that can be used by K-State's Wheat Genetics and Resource Center.
10,000 square feet of greenhouses. Four greenhouse rooms are used to grow out wheat plants in the doubled haploid process. One of the rooms is air-conditioned, allowing for research to occur even in the summer. All four units have automated controls for shade, ventilation and watering. The greenhouse portion of the building includes a "headhouse" in which soil preparation, potting and seed processing occur.
10,000 square feet of offices. The KWIC is home to four tenants: Kansas Wheat (the Kansas Wheat Commission and Kansas Association of Wheat Growers); the Kansas Wheat Alliance, Heartland Plant Innovations and the Kansas Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom. The office portion features a boardroom, large meeting space/classroom and a test kitchen. There are 17 full-time and seven part-time/student employees working at the KWIC.

FORT MYERS, Fla--When you shop this year, you may see more offers to sign up for credit cards at your favorite store. Most offer discounts the day of the sale and we found shoppers willing to take them up on the offer.
In this economy, lending institutions are looking for the best bet to make sure they get paid back and make money.
That's why you may see more retail credit cards pushed your way this year.
A study of store credit cards found retail cards are less of a risk for lending institutions than regular credit cards.
Even though people carry lower balances on these cards, the interest rates are much higher--sometimes as high as 28 percent--giving the credit card companies a bigger profit. People are less likely to default on lower balances.
So expect more companies to offer discounts and low interest rates to entice you to sign up. But before you do, look at the final interest rate. Also, decide if you really could pay the balance. If you can't, consider using cash instead of plastic.

I think this is a lovely piece. The blues and the darkness go extremely well together. The darkness that the people make, actually really help pull the piece together. The only thing I dislike about this photo is the random bits of red and other colors from the other lights.. they distract from the main source. Other than that I think this is a great piece of art and you should keep up the great work. Maybe even experiment in Photoshop a little and blur the people, so it's just darkness or get rid of the random lights that distract. Keep up the fantastic work!
